Idaho GOP Gooding Freshman Takes 2nd at Presidential Caucus National Wrestling Championships Last July, Josh Finley, a freshman at On Super Tuesday Gooding High School, took 2nd in both Boise, Idaho – At its Winter meeting, the Idaho Republican State Central Committee, the governing body of the Idaho GOP, met in Boise, Idaho and reaffirmed its support of a change to State Party Rules that will move Idaho’s presidential candidate selection to Super Tuesday and conduct the nominating process through a county by county caucus system. Idaho will send 32 voting delegates to the 2012 Republican National Convention in Tampa, which is more delegates than Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada. The Republicans in each county will hold their nomination process at a specific location on March 6th. Only registered Republicans will be able to vote at the Caucus. More details will follow in the coming months. “The Republican Party is excited for the opportunity to host this first-of-its-kind Republican Presidential Caucus in Idaho, and we invite all Republicans who reside in our state to participate in this historic event,” stated Chairman Norm Semanko. “It is truly an honor for the Republicans to have a say on who our 2012 Presidential nominee will be, and to which candidate Idaho will send its 32 delegates to support at the 2012 Republican National Convention.” For more information about the details of the Presidential Caucus, contact Idaho Republican Party Political Director, Trevor Thorpe, at 208-343-6405 or trevor@idgop.org.
freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling at the USA Wrestling National Championships held in Farmington, Utah. Josh qualified for nationals by winning state in both freestyle and Greco-Roman, and placing 2nd in both styles at the Western Regional Championships. He also participated on the Idaho national duel team that competed in Indianapolis where he finished with a record of 13-1. Now a Sophomore, Josh is continuing to wrestle for the Gooding Senators which are currently ranked 10th in 2A/1A wrestling. So far this year, Josh is ranked third in the 182 pound division. Other Gooding wrestlers include: Cole McGinnis (1st at 285), Eric Finley (3rd at 195), Landunn Koyle (9th at 170), Tyler McCoy (9th at 160), Torin Brunson (3rd at 152), and Jeff Hernandez (8th at 120).
Rural Emergency Medical Services Being a First Responder or an Emergency Medical Technician in our rural communities is often a thankless job. Most people never think about what these people do until they need them. In most places, 1st Responders and EMT’s volunteer their time to be on call nearly 24/7, but it doesn’t stop there. They have to keep up their training on a regular basis, to maintain their certifications. This year, many of these individuals (and the organizations they work with) will be required to transition to a new set of requirements in order to keep their licenses active. Beside filling out paper-
work, this transition will include the completion of approved course work. In some areas like Richfield, some of our volunteers are deciding not to make that transition. If an individual has put in 20 or 30 years (sometimes more), it may not be worth the time and/or money it takes to maintain an EMS license. No matter where you live, your community needs people who are willing to give their time and energy to help people in emergency situations. Who knows, the person you help may be a friend, a relative, or someone in your immediate family.

It has been a dry winter throughout the North West and it’s made it hard on all Ski Resorts. Be assured that they will open as soon as there is adequate snow, even if it’s in February. With the current snowpack, approximately 12 to 15 inches is needed to open.

Their are a few that attended school with us during our 12 years that we have been unable to locate.

Alma Lois Bailey Alma Lois Bailey, 94, a resident of Meridian, Idaho, died Saturday, January 14, 2012 in Gooding, Idaho. Lois was born on October 26, 1917 in Buhl, Idaho, the daughter of Thomas L. And Bertie Lee McBroom. She was raised and educated in Buhl, graduating from Buhl High School in 1936. She married Jordan Everett Cox on October 26, 1936 in Burley, Idaho. The two high school sweethearts had eloped and when they announced to their parents what they had done, neither of their mothers was thrilled. The couple lived in Buhl where Everett barbered and Lois took care of their home and two sons. She was an excellent cook and fine seamstress. World War II came and Everett left Lois and the boys to serve in the Army Air Corps. Lois kept the home fires burning like so many other young wives and mothers of that era. When the war was over, things had changed and a separation and divorce followed. After those events, she married John P. Bailey, Jr., who was in the potato business. Initially, they made their first home in Twin Falls, Idaho and then moved to Idaho Falls, Idaho. The potato business involved travel to Chicago, New York City and other eastern cities, but they always returned to Idaho. Lois took up the game of golf and became quite good at it. During her active years at the game, she dropped three holesin-one: an accomplishment that she found very satisfying. She honed her sewing skills and among other things, made wedding dresses for several of her granddaughters. When John retired from the potato business, they settled in Bakersfield, California

She remained active on the golf course and at the sewing machine until failing eyesight and her general health began to intervene. She took great joy in the time she could spend with her sister; her niece, Carolyn; her two sons, Gary and Jan; and her grandchildren. In her advancing years, her short term memory began to recede, but she never failed to recognize those who were closest to her.

Her living posterity also includes 14 grandchildren, 74 great grandchildren and 21 great great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents; all her siblings; her husband, John P.

Curiosity is a Wonderful Thing Are you curious about what the Bible really says? It is the primary text for all Christians of faith, yet even most Christians are not honestly familiar with what it says (or does not say). The High Desert Cooperative Ministries, operating out of Gooding United Methodist Church, has recently started Bible studies at each of our three churches located in Richfield, Shoshone, and Gooding. All three churches do the same four readings every week, following a reading schedule found on our website. We meet weekly at 7:00 p.m. Mondays in Richfield, Tuesdays in Shoshone, and Wednesdays in Gooding. See our website for locations. We realize that it can be intimidating to join a new group, especially when it involves anything religious. Yet the Bible is an important document to know, if not for religious reasons, then at least for political ones. People of all ages are welcome to attend. It is just fine if you have never even read one word of the Bible. We don’t ask for any money. We don’t ask for you to believe in anything or to attend our churches for worship. We are hosting this because studying a 2,000 year old text requires a little teamwork and expertise. If you’re interested, please visit our website for more details: www.highdesertministries.com or call the church at 208934-4633.

Cup of Tee
Back years ago (1947), there was a radio program on the air called Candid Microphone. In this program a gentleman by the name of Allen Funt would secretly record the public for conversations to be aired on the humorous radio show. (Do you know how hard it is to tote a 27 lb. tape recorder?!) In 1948 Candid Microphone was picked up by ABC but with a twist. This time they were using hidden cameras to film unsuspecting folks. The show, Candid Camera, became an instant hit. There were no paid actors, just everyday folks. With the pranks and gags pulled on the public, a new instant moment of fame was created. Candid Camera was the first in Reality T.V. They traveled the United States to capture new unsuspecting folks. The props and pranks were hilarious. One of my favorites was when a VW Bug would be driven into a gas station and the attendant would be told to fill the car with gas. The driver would go for a soda or the restroom. The normal VW would hold about 11 gallons of gas. The gasoline attendant would be scratching his head as he filled the car with 40 gallons of gas. The driver would come back and would rile the attendant about the fill up price and amount of gasoline needed. Another great prank was when a car without a motor would be shoved from down the road. A lady would guide the car into the repair station and tell the mechanic her car just died. They would open the hood and find no motor. The mechanic would have a hard time trying to convince the lady her motor was gone. Could not be possible, she just drove it in there! M.T.V. (Music Television) opened the market again in the 80’s with music videos. Then we had COPS’ s, officers on duty with microphones. In 1988 the Writers Guild Strike opened up a whole new world of T.V. (Reality T.V.). The Reality shows once again used the general public as actors. Shows could be filmed with undo speed; no actors to work with. For years, every channel, every network was competing for the ratings game. The American and worldwide public was glued to the T.V. again! Some of the major Reality T.V. shows included: Big Brother, Survivor, American Idol, Biggest Loser, The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, The Apprentice, My Red Neck Wedding, Dancing with the Stars, Beauty and the Geek, America’s Next Top Model, Trading Spaces, Ice Road Truckers, Extreme Home Make Over, Swamp Loggers, Ax Men, Deadliest Catch, Keeping Up with Kardashians, Pimp My Ride, Jon, Kate Plus Eight, Nanny 911, The Mole, and Fear Factor to name a few. The Reality TV has given to the everyday person the need for competitiveness, the placement of themselves to solve the situations, and a reason to” talk”at social gatherings. That’s why I have a phone. This is my “My Cup of Re – al- i - Tee”.

Extended Sign-up Period for Conservation Program BOISE, Idaho, Jan. 12, 20121 – USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) extended the ranking period cutoff date for applications in the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) to January 27, 2012. “NRCS extended the deadline for applications two more weeks to give agricultural producers more time apply for this program,” said Idaho State Conservationist Jeff Burwell. “Idaho has a lot of conservation–oriented producers that NRCS can help through this program.” CSP offers payments to producers who maintain a high level of conservation on their land and who agree to adopt new conservation practices. Payments are paid on a per acre basis. The program has a continuous sign-up with announced cut-off dates for ranking and processing applications. The program is open to all producers on cropland, pastureland, rangeland and non-industrial forestland, Burwell said. “Private forest landowners may not be aware of the financial assistance this program presents,” he said, “but CSP offers them an opportunity to implement conservation practices that can significantly improve their forests’ health.” “Organic producers can also benefit from this program. Because of the nature of organic production they may have already addressed resource problems on their operation; CSP can reward them for maintaining those practices and help fund additional conservation activities they plan to implement.” A CSP self-screening checklist is available to help producers determine if CSP is suitable for their operation. The checklist highlights basic information about CSP eligibility requirements, contract obligations and potential payments. It is available from local NRCS offices or online at: http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/programs/ new_csp/csp.html. Over the last three years, NRCS funded 261 CSP contracts with Idaho producers and provided over $4 million to help farmers, ranchers and private forest landowners implement resource conserving practices on their land. To learn more, interested landowners should contact their local NRCS office or go online to http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/ portal/nrcs/main/national/programs/financial/csp.

by L.T. Housman Just recently, something extraordinary happened in our nation’s capital city, something that most of you will never hear about. The United States Supreme Court issued a nine to zero ruling against something a federal agency was trying to do. Perhaps even more extraordinary was the issue that united our nation’s highest court in that unanimous decision - religious freedom. Specifically, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission was trying to tell a small Lutheran Church in Michigan who they could hire or fire as religious leaders. What likely united the Court in this decision was that the U.S. Department of Justice had the gall to stand up and argued that the First Amendment is irrelevant to a church's employment decisions. Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the court, said, "Such action [or interpretation] interferes with the internal governance of the church..." The question we should all ask ourselves is this, “Why did a church have to fight a federal agency all the way to the Supreme Court just to prove that our Constitution means what it means?” The answer is that the fight for freedom is never ending, and if we do not fight for religious freedom, someone will take it away, along with all the other freedoms we seem to take for granted. Something else that many Christians take for granted is their salvation. Too many believe that once they turn their lives over to God, all their problems are solved. Some ministers teach, either directly or by default, that once you are saved, nothing else matters. Yet, in the 6th chapter of Ephesians, Paul tells Christians to put on the whole armor of God. Why? Because living the Christian life is a constant battle against sin in our lives. If we do not fight against sin, we will fall under its slavery. Fortunately, we do not go into that battle alone. Just as that little church in Michigan had a defender in court, Christians have have a defender as well - our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who is with us no matter where we go, and no matter what trials we face.
