Athletics Plan Allows More Spectators

An updated plan for school winter sports enables Idaho school districts and charter schools to allow up to 40 percent capacity in school gymnasiums for games and matches, or up to four spectators per student participant, whichever is larger, if physical distancing requirements can be maintained or if masks are worn. The updated plan, developed by the Governor’s office and the office of the State Board of Education, covers the remainder of the 2020-21 winter sports school year and is consistent with the requirements of Governor Brad Little’s Idaho Stage 2 Stay Healthy Order. Participating students including athletes, cheerleaders, band and dance team members will not be included in determining gym capacity during their event. Student body members can attend “Home” games only and Last Thursday, Blue Cross of Idaho announced a $700,000 donation to Camp Rainbow Gold’s will count against the 40 percent capacity. Administrators are capital campaign.

I like riding my dirt bike on the trails around my house. My dirt bike is pretty old, and it got me thinking about their history. Some people are under the assumption that dirt bikes were created by Honda, but that actually might not be the case. Honda seemed to popularize and bring attention to the dirt bike back in the 50s, but they were actually around much earlier than that. The first dirt bike was created around 1914 by a man named Siegfried Bettmann. He was the first one to take the motorcycles that were already on the market and design them more for off-road use. They weren't very popular until the 1950s when Honda started manufacturing and bringing them to the market. Since the 1950's the designs have been getting better and the overall love has been getting cooler. Today, dirt bikes are very powerful and much faster than the original dirt bikes. by Avery James Bard

How to Get Ready for The Winter!

It is winter and cold outside. There are some things you can do to make sure you are prepared. I prefer to wear a nice warm coat. Make sure you wear a long sleeve shirt under your warm coat. Get some snow pants, so you aren't cold. Put on some sweats or pants under your snow pants. Get some snow boots to keep your feet dry. Get two pairs of socks for extra protection for your feet. Don't run where there is ice or you will fall. When you come back inside, to warm up, you might want some hot cocoa with some marshmallows. It's important to be prepared to drive in the winter also. Make sure to scrape off the ice off your car windows before driving. If you are driving when it's icy, make sure to drive slow, but not too slow. If you drive too fast you will get in a car crash. Also, a house cleaning tip, pick up the garbage in your yard. If you don't, the trash will get stuck on the ground until spring. I hope these tips help you stay safe this winter. by Nico Gonzalez College of Southern Idaho has released the list of students who made the Dean and President lists for the fall 2020 semester.

Cup of Tee

© The other day a friend said to me, “Tee, I know your birthday is coming up soon. I can’t remember the exact day, but I know it is nearby. Unlike asking a woman how old she is, one may not get the right answer. So, Tee, I say to you... how long have you been on this earth? Knowing you, you may give the right answer or make me guess.” For a moment I had to calculate. I know how long I have been here, give or take a year of two. I really don’t remember celebrating a birthday my first three years of life. I believe at the time I was busy learning the metric system. Somehow one forgets some things. I guess that’s they tried to remind me of the metric system in my ninth year of school. Apparently I didn’t get it then because I still don’t know the metric system. To answer how long I’ve been on earth, I’ll go with the date with which my birth certificate is stamped. I guess 74 inches is how long I’ve been here. I have not always been that long. I believe as you get older you gain in length, then again, as you grow older you loose a few inches in length. No wonder I couldn’t get the metric math, someone is telling you one length and then later that length disappears. Back to length, an inch was the measure of the width of a king’s thumb. I guess for practical

reasons, it was to say who’s thumb rule you are under. Just think if the French would have got rule in the United States, our descendants thumb rule width would be 2.54 centimeters (the French adopted the metrics in 1791). Still to answer how long I have been here, one might say I’m 21.89 credit cards (3⅜ x 2⅛) or 19.73 video cassettes (7¾ x 4). In terms of money I’d be 74 quarters in length or 12.9 dollars (6⅛ x 2⅝). When you get those kind of calculations, it doesn’t seem like I have been here a very long time. Then again, there is that shrinking math. Maybe my length here has been a long time and I keep getting sent back because of the lost length occurring in the older years. The English has another odd way of calculating length. The figured that the length of a girdle around the waist was a yard. If I was to get that measurement I may have to lie, especially if someone brought another yard stick. How long I have been here depends on who’s measuring. This is my “Cup of Tee” birthday-wiser.

...Magic Valley Trout Growers Donate Fish continued

In mid-January, over 40,000 rainbow trout were stocked in two locations in the Magic Valley Region. The Bell Rapids stretch of the Snake River received 40,000 rainbow trout from the Jones Fish Farm, managed by Jim Mowry. These fish are all well over one pound in size, making them an excellent size for anglers to catch and eat. During the same week, the College of Southern Idaho aquaculture program donated 500 rainbow trout that were stocked into Rock Creek within Rock Creek Park near Twin Falls. “While it’s an unfortunate business situation for our aquaculture partners in the Magic Valley, the donation of these large rainbow trout to Idaho anglers is an incredible opportunity for additional winter and spring fishing,” Regional Fisheries Manager Mike Peterson said. “We truly appreciate our local producer’s willingness to make these fish available to Idaho angers.” According to Peterson, there will be additional fish donated and stocked throughout southern Idaho in the coming weeks. For additional information about fishing opportunities in the Magic Valley Region contact the regional office at (208) 324-4359.

Jean Mohwinkel

M. Jean Jacobson McCrae Mohwinkel, 99, passed away in the early morning of January 13, 2021 in Boise. She was born on October 12, 1921 on a small family acreage about a mile east of the top of Vader Grade coming from of Hagerman. She was born to Albert Lars Jacobson and Violet Rider Jacobson. She lived on that farm until the family moved to Oklahoma when she was in the 8th grade. She lived in Oklahoma for one year and returned back to Idaho where she attended school in Twin Falls for a year while living with her Aunt Celia. Her family then returned to Wendell, Idaho where she attended the last two years of high school in Wendell. This is where she met her high school sweetheart – Robert Coe McCrae. They both graduated in 1940 and were married later that year after graduation. They had four children together. They later divorced and both were remarried. Jean married Ed Mohwinkle in 1966 and they were married until his death. Mom lived in Wendell until she was 91 when she moved to Boise. She was about family first and foremost, she made sure all her kids, grandkids and great grandkids came first. She loved to garden and made it one of the grandchildren’s favorite places to be with her. She loved to can what she grew; she loved to cook and make sure that everyone that entered her home was fed and comfortable. She loved her family, there was never a time that her table wasn’t occupied by grandkids, company or a family member just stopping by to visit. She had various jobs she worked and enjoyed through out her lifetime. She worked for Dr. Holsinger, the Wendell Grange, and the Ambrose family business. She was a member of the American Legion and was a member of the L.D.S. Church where she enjoyed working with the genealogy department. She is survived by two of her children – Bob (Jackie) McCrae and Kathy (Bob) Kaiser; a very special daughter-in-law – Sharon (Clarence) Sparks; 10 grandchildren; 27 great grandchildren and 3 great great grandchildren, with another on the way; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by: her husband – Ed Mohwinkel; her sons – Kenny McCrae and Ronnie McCrae; her parents and all her siblings. A Daughter, Sister, Wife, Mom, Aunt, Grandma, Great and Great Great Grandma, you were all of these things and so much more. You are our ray of sunshine and you will be dearly missed.
