Property Tax Reduction
After paying their property taxes on December 20, many residents may be wondering if there is any relief for those with a limited income. Help is out there. The Idaho Property Tax Relief Program, administered by the county assessor’s office, can assist qualified taxpayers in reducing their tax burden. The property tax relief program works on a sliding scale with the state paying a portion of the property taxes, up to $1,320 on the home and up to one acre, depending on the taxpayer’s income. This money will never have to be paid back but the taxpayer does need to apply every year. There are three criteria to see if someone qualifies for the property tax reduction. 1. They have to have owned and lived in their home before April 15, 2016. 2. Their 2015 income has to be up to $29,470. This is after deducting medical expenses. 3. The applicant has to meet one, or more, of the fol lowing requirements on Jan.1, 2016: continued on page 6.....

the Courier News ~ 888-934-1862 CSI Dual Credit Night
...but never Compromising the Truth.
High school students, parents, teachers, and counselors are invited to attend the College of Southern Idaho’s Dual Credit Night from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Monday, Jan. 25 at CSI’s Health Sciences and Human Services building on North College Road. Dual Credit is the statewide program that allows high school students to take specially designed classes during their junior and senior years that earn both high school and college credit. Close to 4,000 Idaho students from high schools all over Idaho are enrolled in CSI’s dual credit classes this school year. High school students pay only $65 per credit for these classes compared with the current tuition rate of $120 per credit for regular CSI students and hundreds more at Idaho’s four-year universities. Depending on how many classes students can complete before graduation, they can save thousands of dollars on their higher education costs and a year or more of time earning their college degree. Additionally, the state of Idaho offers several scholarship programs to help high school juniors and seniors pay dual credit tuition. Event organizer Karrie Hornbacher and other volunteers will provide information about applying for admission to the Dual Credit program, funding and scholarships, and class advising. The event is free and open to everyone. Please register for the event in advance at www.csi.edu. Drawings will be held for four dual credit scholarships, each worth $195 or three credits. Due to the current construction on North College Road, visitors are advised to access the Health Science building on North College Road only from the direction of Washington Street.

Teresa Berriochoa Saras
Teresa Berriochoa Saras, 85, of Rupert, Idaho died December 24, 2015 at Rupert Countryside Care & Rehab. Teresa was born September 19, 1930 in Shoshone, Idaho to Carlos and Ramona Berriochoa. She graduated from Shoshone High School in 1946 where she played the snare drum in the pep band and was an active member of the drama club, camera club, home economics club, and the school paper. Following her graduation, she attended Links School of Business in Boise, Idaho and returned to Shoshone to work at the Big Wood Canal Company until she married Raymond Saras on July 22, 1951. Raymond and Teresa moved to Rupert in 1962 with three daughters and two sons in tow. Rupert was their home base where mom allowed dad to move the family into six different houses over the next 30 years. Teresa started working at Rural Electric in 1964 and stayed for 26 years. She made many friends, both co-workers as well as customers. Raymond and Teresa spent many weekends and summers in Shoshone visiting family, fishing and playing cards. To say that Mom enjoyed cards is an understatement. Thursday was her card day. She spent the afternoon playing bridge and then would head off to play “31” with some of her oldest, dearest friends. Mom also enjoyed a periodic trip to Jackpot. Some of her best memories of her sisters were trips to Jackpot and Shoshone. She also loved to celebrate the grandkids’ 21st birthdays at Jackpot. Teresa spent many hours on benches watching kids and grandkids sports and school performances. She was very actively involved in the St. Nicholas Church. Teresa was preceded in death by: her parents; husband, Raymond; daughter, Margaret; and three sisters, Florine Baumann, Bene Haddock, Nieves Arnold; two brothers, Carlos Berriochoa Jr. and Joe Berriochoa; and many beloved in-laws. She is survived by: her son, Tony; daughter, Bene Beaver (Gary); son, Paul (Mary); daughter, Janell Maloney (Bob); daughter, Terry Fate (Greg); son, Greg (Letty); 14 grandkids and 12 great-grandkids. Mom also left behind some great friends, Linda C, Betty A, Jean R, Barbara S, Dode H and Carol. Thank you for your friendship and love you gave Mom. Her children would like to thank all of mom’s friends and family for the frequent visits and myriad of cards during the last 6 months. A special thank you goes to Dr. Pates and the staff at Countryside Care & Rehab. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Nicholas Church in Rupert or the Basque Museum in Boise, in mom’s name.

Harold Roy Turner
Harold Roy Turner, 76, of Gooding, Idaho passed away at his home on December 18, 2015. Roy was born to Hugh and Hazel Turner in Big Sky country at Dillon, Montana on March 17, 1939. He grew up with his big sister Violet on the family ranch near Twin Bridges, Montana on the Beaverhead River. His early school days were spent in a one-room school house in Grasshopper Valley with his sister and neighboring ranch kids, and he graduated from Twin Bridges High School in 1957. In high school, he was very active in 4H and the FFA, and raised championship pigs. A life-long cowboy, Roy broke his first horse, Baldy, by himself at age 10. He spent much of his life on horseback, and was a reining champ and avid team roper. He owned many exceptional horses over the years, and he truly loved ranch and rodeo life. After high school, Roy enlisted in the United States Air Force and served active duty in Japan. After his honorable discharge in 1963, he met Marjorie Wilson and they married in Pasadena, California. The couple lived on the university farm at Cal State Chico while Roy earned a BA in Economics. They welcomed their daughter Lea in Chico, and then moved to Santa Rosa where their son Hugh was born two years later. Roy made a career in government service, working at the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Ely and Elko, Nevada and then as a loan officer for the Farmers Home Administration in Idaho, in Emmett, Salmon, Shoshone, and finally Gooding. In 1980, Roy left his desk job to start a small dairy farm with his wife Marge. They ran the dairy together until he suffered a debilitating stroke in 1983 at age 44. The couple subsequently divorced, and Roy moved back to Montana for a time. He later returned to Gooding, where he met Mary Molesworth, his girlfriend of 12 years. They were together until his death, and his family is eternally grateful for her loving care of him. Due to disabilities caused by his stroke, Roy’s later life was challenging, but he lived it with gritty determination, cheerful optimism and a can-do attitude. He once traveled solo by train across the country, did rodeo and wildlife photography and spent a fair amount of time perfecting his “system” at the craps table. Roy was a loving son, brother, husband, companion, father and great friend. A self-professed bullsh*tter, one of his favorite things to do was sit around with his buddies drinking coffee and swapping stories. As he would say, he was “goin and blowin” till the end. Rest easy cowboy – we love you and we’ll miss you dearly and always.

death & service notices
Have you ever read the sign “One Way” and found out that you were only going one way-the wrong way! Have you ever passed your exit on the highway only to find the next sign to read “Next Exit 15 Miles”? Have you ever marked a point of turning somewhere by a given land mark or sign and thought to yourself, “That’s my sign?” Sometimes ‘here’s your sign’ isn’t funny unless you’re Bill Engvall. A shaving cream company sold brushless shaving cream and their signs gave us many years of humor. That company was the Burma-Shave Company. In the Roaring Twenties the Odell family conjured up a successful product that would be used by daily customers instead of Burma Vita which had been used only by the ill. Many marketing ploys were used with no success to market the brushless shaving cream. Alan Odell persuaded his dad to use small billboard type signs. His dad wasn’t wild about the idea but gave his son $200 to try his idea. Needless to say the idea was an instant hit. The signs were white on red and were in all the 48 states except Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona and Massachusetts. The cheery, non-offensive signs included safety and moral messages. They lasted from 1925 to 1963. Faster moving cars and slower sales saw their end. The signs humored the people of the depression era and followed the GI’s in WWII. Following are samples of the signs which had 4 to 6 separate signs: Henry the Eighth / sure had trouble / short-term wives / long-term stubble / Burma-Shave… Ben met Anna / made a hit / neglected beard / Ben-Anna split / Burma-Shave… Does your husband / misbehave / grunt and grumble / rant and rave? / shoot the brute some / Burma-Shave… Grandpa’s beard / was stiff and coarse / and that’s what / caused his / fifth divorce / Burma-Shave… To change that / shaving job / to joy / you gotta use / the real McCoy / Burma-Shave… Riot at / drug store / calling all cars / 100 customers / 99 jars / Burma-Shave… The wolf / is shaved / so neat and trim / Red Riding Hood / is chasing him / Burma-Shave… Many a forest / used to stand / were a lighted match / got out of hand / Burma-Shave… Listen birds / these signs cost money / so roost awhile / but don’t get funny / Burma-Shave… Billboards are gone / as for my / “Cup of Tee” / it is too / as you can see / Burma-Shave.

Statements On President’s Executive Order On Firearms Idaho Senator Mike Crapo:
“The president’s executive order to implement more gun control is just another brazen example of this administration’s continued overreach, a repeated pattern of behavior by this administration. The president continues the pursuit of his broad agenda of command and control over many aspects of American’s private lives. This order makes it harder for law-abiding, responsible Idahoans to purchase firearms. The Second Amendment is unambiguous on the rights of citizens to keep and bear arms and I will continue to fight the president’s efforts to restrict law-abiding citizens from exercising those rights.”
U.S. Senator Jim Risch:
“This president, more than any other, has violated the constitutional separation of powers in which the legislative branch enacts laws and the executive branch executes those laws. His excuse that the legislative branch is not doing its job could not be further from the truth. Indeed, the legislative branch continues to actively battle against and refuses to enact further gun control laws. That legislative function belongs to the first branch of government, not the second. “I fully understand that the president and the left strongly disagree with Congress’ refusal to further restrict the rights of law-abiding gun owners but that is the right of the Congress, and indeed, it is their duty and constitutional responsibility to the people who elected them. Those like the president, who want stricter gun laws, must do so by electing a pro-gun control Congress and not try unconstitutional lawmaking by the executive branch. Idahoans and Americans have steadfastly refused to elect a majority in Congress who favor stricter gun control. Americans have the right to do so.”
Idaho Congressman Mike Simpson:
“I am disappointed but not surprised that President Obama is once again using executive orders to unilaterally push forward his personal agenda,” said Simpson. “This Administration pushes constitutional boundaries by implementing policies that should be considered, debated, and voted on by Congress. Limiting the ability of law abiding citizens to exercise their constitutional rights to own firearms, will not address the crime problem. We should focus on improving the care of the mentally ill and enforcing the laws we have in place to ensure that they are kept out of the hands of violent criminals.”

Hunters Satisfied with Controlled Hunts
by Roger Phillips, Idaho F&G Public Information Specialist
Idaho Fish and Game recently conducted a survey to “take the pulse” of hunters about controlled-hunt drawings, and the majority of them are satisfied with the current system. The approval percentage is also higher than it was a decade ago. Based on a random, mail-based survey, which is the “gold standard” of scientific surveys, 58 percent of hunters agreed with the statement “I am satisfied with the current controlled-hunt drawing system.” Another 33 percent said they were dissatisfied, and 9 percent were neutral. Satisfaction with the controlled-hunt system is 16 points higher than a similar survey in 2005, and the controlledhunt system has not significantly changed since then. There are no pending proposals to change the controlledhunt system, but Fish and Game commissioners want to know if opinions have changed since 2005 when a similar survey was done. The recent survey was done in October and November and got 12,600 responses through three methods: random mail, random email and an open survey on the department’s website. The basic messages from hunters were consistent, but the degrees by which people agreed or disagreed varied by different polling methods with people more likely to strongly agree or disagree in the open survey. Hunters were asked in the mail survey if the current controlled-hunt system were altered, which options would they consider. Some options had approval numbers similar to that of hunters’ satisfaction with the current system, which made Fish and Game officials curious why the majority of hunters were satisfied, but they also seemed to favor changes. Deeper analysis showed hunters satisfied and dissatisfied with the controlled-hunt system were willing to consider changes to it.
What will commissioners do with the information? Commissioners will use the survey results to help them decide whether there’s enough interest to change the current system, and if so, which options to consider. Any formal proposal would undergo public review, and hunters would have several chances to comment.
