The Marketing of Small Town America
Last fall the City of Fairfield developed a timeline for improvement projects. These projects not only include physical improvements like roadways and buildings, but organizational and informational improvements as well. Physical improvements such as the pathways, streetlights, and trees along the east and west side of Soldier Road between Spruce and Garnet avenues (the old railroad rightof-way) make the entrance to the town more aesthetically pleasing. But, even relatively small projects require a great deal of co-operation between the city, the county, property owners, and other community organizations. The various groups within any city need to work together, not only to strive for harmonious relationships, but to make sure we are not duplicating or hindering our efforts. All of this is especially important when a project requires grant
money. Granting agencies often look at overall community support for a project as a requirement for funding. To help achieve various goals, a volunteer group has been set up that includes a City Council member, a Camas County Commissioner, chamber and non-chamber members, and a representative of Southern Idaho Tourism. This group is currently in the process of creating a list of all businesses within the county and city. The list will be used to coordinate events, identify recreational activities, and to develop promotional tools for the community. The main goal of this group is to find ways to market the Fairfield community. Brochures and web site improvements help tell the world about our area. The roadway improvements along Soldier Road and a proposed “Welcome” sign at the intersection of Highway 20 and Soldier
Road are designed to attract highway travelers into the downtown area of the city. Business education seminars will help local businesses focus on customer service and other ways of keeping customers coming back. In February, to help develop an effective plan, the Fairfield Marketing Group will be applying for the Idaho Community Review. The Idaho Community Review is a collaborative project of federal, state, local, and private organizations, to “efficiently and effectively provide the host community with objective information from external community development professionals, create a forum to express internal leadership viewpoints and citizen feedback, recommend resources, and provide follow-up as needed.” This project aspires to help communities bolster their action plans to locally execute and complete community development strategies. Ultimately, the successful marketing of any community results in making that community more economically strong and makes it a better place to live.

Camas County School Receives Grants From Foundations The Camas County School received $7,500 in grants to help with the school library/media center renovation project. The first grant of $2,500 comes from the Jane Sandy Fund, Southern Idaho Children’s Learning Foundation Fund, and unrestricted funds in the Idaho Community Foundation. The second grant of $5,000 comes from the Camas County Education Foundation.

Application Due Date Extended To February 7
BOISE, ID – January 8, 2014 – The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service has extended the deadline for new enrollments in the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) for fiscal year 2014. Producers interested in participating in the program can submit applications to NRCS through Feb. 7, 2014 for fiscal year 2014 funding. “Extending the enrollment deadline will make it possible for more farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners to apply for this important Farm Bill conservation program,” NRCS Chief Jason Weller said. “Through their conservation actions, these good stewards are ensuring that their operations are more productive and sustainable over the long run.” CSP is now in its fifth year and so far, NRCS has worked with producers to enroll more than 59 million acres across the nation. The program emphasizes conservation performance — producers earn higher payments for higher performance. Producers enrolled in the program can get financial assistance to install conservation enhancements that make positive changes in soil quality, soil erosion, water quality, water quantity, air quality, plant resources, animal resources, and energy use. Eligible landowners and operators in all states and territories can enroll in CSP. Local NRCS offices accept CSP applications year round then evaluate applications during announced ranking periods. To be eligible for this year’s enrollment, producers must have their applications submitted to NRCS by the closing date of February 7, 2014. A self-screening checklist with basic information on program eligibility requirements, contract obligation, and potential payments is available to help producers determine if the program is suitable for their operation. The self-screening checklist, along with a list of practices and enhancements, payment rates and more, is available on the Idaho NRCS Conservation Stewardship Program Web page. For more information on CSP, stop by your local USDA service center or visit Idaho NRCS online at http://www.id.nrcs. usda.gov/programs.

Blood Money by James Grippando This is a book swiped out of the headlines of real life, it just never uses the name of Casey Anthony of Florida who was accused and acquitted of the murder of her toddler daughter, Caylee. It seems like cheating to call something fiction when the entire skeleton of the story comes out of the news media. But, I guess if an author creates an exciting conclusion naming the perpetrator and the motives, then writes a book and calls it fiction, then it’s sort of like fiction. Sort of. What bothers me about this is that the conclusion drawn in this book may not be the real-life conclusion, but could easily be confused to be the real-life conclusion. Got that? And one of the creepy Bad Guys in this book is called Merselus which sounds like Merciless, which he was, and makes me think the author was having a little fun with his dumb audience. But all that said, it’s an easy read, the suspense is good and since it’s number twenty in the series, we can only assume the previous 19 books were like this one – a tv movie script. Not much depth (we don’t go inside the head of Merselus), but lots of suspense and plenty of commercial breaks for channel surfing the competition.

I think it is time I started to learn to make a quilt. Not just any quilt, but a tee shirt quilt. As I have taken a rough inventory, I have around 90 to a 100 tee shirts. About 15 percent of them are from my last job. There are blue ones, red ones, yellow ones, brown ones, and colors of every kind, including white. My quilt could be a quilt of history since many of the tees have been around for years. A good share were given to me as gifts from different areas. Instead of getting mugs and coffee table doilies, I got tee shirts (which I enjoyed). The first tee shirt was basically the cut off, top half of a one piece union suit. These were used by miners and stevedores (ship unloaders). The name “tee shirt” may have come from the longshoremen who unloaded tea from merchant ships in Maryland. Their tea shirts may have been shortened to “T” shirts. The British may, once again, be blamed for the tee shirt name. The British Royal Family ordered their sailor in the Royal Navy to have sleeves sewn on their undershirts; to spare royalty the unseemly experience of witnessing an armada of armpits. The shirt was shaped like the letter “T”. Tee shirts were worn in the Spanish American War of 1898. Cotton processing in the United States was a major industry. The U.S. Navy added the tee shirt as an undergarment around 1913. By the depression era tee shirts were worn in most all industries of work as an undergarment. They were inexpensive with a price of around 24 cents. Clark Gable took his shirt off in the film “It Happened One Night” in 1934, and wasn’t wearing an undershirt. For a while, hardly an man from coast to coast would be caught wearing one. The tee shirt industry was nearly wrecked. Many people were out of work. WWII soldiers were issued tee shirts with each branch having its own color. The white ones, with previous use, were too easy to target. After that, the first ones were dyed with coffee and those that followed were colored. When the soldiers came home from the war, the concept of a tee-shirt as the only shirt (because of the heat) came home with them. In 1951, Marlon Brando wore a tee shirt in the movie “A Street Car Named Desire”. This gave a new meaning to the tee shirt as outerwear. Elvis Presley, with a black leather jacket, and James Dean in “Rebel Without A Cause” gave us a new generation of fashion wear. In the 1960’s tee shirts were a staple for rock n’rollers. Tie dying and screen printing (from 1948) gave way to commercial advertising and protest art (in 1959 plastisol was invented which replaced water based ink). The 1980’s saw another wave of tee shirt wear with the Miami Vice show. Today, on the average, each American owns 25 tee-shirts. I still think I need to make a quilt. This is my short sleeve “Cup of Tee” shirt.

The Courier News
Legislative News From Michelle Stennett Greetings from the Statehouse! Our first week exploded with news about what will and won’t be addressed this session following the Governor’s State of the State and Budget address last Monday. The Governor made a surprising announcement that the state will soon take over operation of the Idaho Correctional Center, the privately-operated state prison south of Boise plagued by lawsuits and scandals over inmate violence and prison staffing. Many unsettling questions arise. The prison will take $26 million annually to operate and $1.9 million for the transition and training, and this all needs to be resolved before the existing contract expires on June 30, 2014. Furthermore, not all expenses are reflected in the budget. We are under two court orders to meet explicit guidelines including proper staffing and training. Idaho pays too little to keep employees which means the state often expends money on training only to have high turnover of personnel who go to other facilities or out of state for more pay and benefits. This also happens with our judges and magistrates, Idaho State Police, teachers, and state agencies. Idaho has some of the harshest prison policies and penalties for parole violations in the nation: an average of 3.9 years in prison for a non-violent crime and 4.1 years for drug offenses (twice the national average). The Idaho Criminal Justice System Task Force studied best-practices nationwide and we anticipate reform legislation this year. This will help address the fact that Idaho has among the highest incarceration rates in the nation despite the fact that we have one of the lowest crimes rates in the country. Which brings us to Idaho’s other rankings in the nation: 50th in family (per-capita) income, 50th in education spending and support, and the highest percentage of minimum wage workers. Education support and household economy are related and need to be invested in together. The Idaho Education Task Force, comprised of 31 professional, dedicated members, made 20 recommendations on how to improve and invest in Idaho’s education system. The Governor has proposed a 5-year plan to accomplish all 20 recommendations. His fiscal year 2015 budget proposes $54.7 million as a start, $35 million toward restoring the $82 million cut in annual operational funding during the economic downturn, plus funding for technology and professional development for teachers. Governor Otter calls this plan “K-through-Career.” We Democrats would prefer “Pre-K-through-Career.” Not including Medicaid Redesign in the State of the State, even for discussion, ignores over 100,000 low-income but hardworking Idahoans and, tragically, mental health coverage. Not only is it financially irresponsible (to the tune of over $84 million in savings), it is clinically inappropriate. The financial burden falls squarely on local governments and individuals. I continue to be grateful for the opportunity to represent you in the Idaho State Senate and welcome your input into the decision-making process. Please email me at mstennett@senate. idaho.gov or call my office at 208-332-1353.
