News Remembering our Basque Heritage
One of the most famous paintings in the world has a connection right here in Idaho, but few of us know about it. Many of us recognize the iconic images found in the painting, but it is a rare person who knows the significances behind those drawings.
In 1937, German aircraft bombed the town of Guernica in the northern part of Spain. While done at the request of the Spanish Nationalists as part of the Spanish Civil War, it was ostensibly an experiment by the German military to test certain war tactics. There continues to be debate over whether Guernica was a legitimate military target or just a convenient loca-
tion to inflict a physiological blow on the Basque people. The fact still remains, though, that hundreds of innocent men, women, and children, were killed in that attack. As a result of those events, a great number of Basque people came to America, and many of them settled right here in Idaho. While nothing can take away the horror of what happened in Guernica and other places in that region of Spain, the Basque people have made remarkable contributions to our state. Last week, the life of Pete Cenarrusa was celebrated in Boise. This Friday, a no less remarkable woman from Richfield will be laid to rest - Lucia Lezamiz. She was one of those individuals who witnessed the bombing of Guernica (read her obituary on page 5).
The Gooding Museum does not have Picasso’s painting on display, but they do have an extraordinary exhibit, on loan from the Basque Museum in Boise, telling the story of the Basque immigration to America. It is well worth a visit, but you only have until October 19th to do so. The museum, which is located on Euskadi Lane (just north of the North Canyon Medical Center), is open on Fridays and Saturdays from 10 to 4. Only two weekends left.

King’s is proud to join the John Madden Family in the fight against Diabetes October 7, 2013 – In the fight against diabetes, King’s Variety Stores (King’s) has joined forces with the Madden Family in the launch of the new app Gluco-Share® - a social media platform exclusive to aid those living with diabetes through it’s unique communicative offerings and tangible reward incentives – incentives and rewards that are being provided by Electronic Arts and now King’s. In regards to the rewards, King’s now offers over 1,500 items for diabetics to choose from including school supplies, toys, games, crafts, camping supplies, and more! All the users of the app have to do is enter their blood glucose on a regular basis and on-time to be rewarded. King’s uses this incentive to encourage diabetics to stay on track. It is not about actual glucose numbers, it is about frequency and creating strong healthy habits. These are habits that King’s strongly supports. King’s offers their rewards through Gluco-Share, the first mobile app that offers actual tangible rewards to its users. When a diabetic enters their blood glucose directly or via a wireless meter into Gluco-Share each entry goes toward points and rewards.

The medallions can now be redeemed via King’s website or Electronic Arts.

Lyle Richard Piper On October 3rd, 2013, Lyle Richard Piper, 81, started on his final horseback ride in a lifetime filled with amazing rides to the top of nearly every mountain in Idaho. Lyle was born June 2, 1932, to S.J. “Joe” Piper and Alice (Johnson) Piper, in Richfield, Idaho. A true Idaho native, Lyle lived his whole life and died only four blocks from the house he was born in. His father owned and ran Piper’s store, and Lyle started working from a very young age. He delivered groceries from age 7, and spent his entire life serving the Richfield community. Lyle graduated from Richfield H.S.in 1950, where he was a star in basketball and football, as well as a champion boxer. He then joined the Air Force to serve his country during the Korean War, in 1951. He married his Richfield high school sweetheart, Betty J. Wood in 1954, and on his return from the Air Force in 1955, went to work at Piper’s Store. He purchased the store from his dad in 1957, where he worked as a grocer and custom meat cutter for another 41 years, until he sold the store to his son Mike in 1998. Betty and Lyle, who were married for 59 years, were blessed with three children, Pamela, Kent and Mike. Lyle served on the Richfield City Board for many years, was an active member of the Lions Club and American Legion, where he initiated many community service projects, and was the Fire Chief for several years. For years before the town had a QRU, people called Lyle for all medical emergencies and he was instrumental in starting the original Quick Response Unit here. Lyle was an avid and successful horseman, hunter and fisherman, who loved to ride his horses on the Idaho trails. With Gary and Boots Hubsmith, Leon Hubsmith, Ray Clayton, Son Mike
and many friends, Lyle always rode to the top of the mountain, saying he felt closer to heaven up there. Lyle loved the outdoors and took his children and grandchildren to the hills often to go camping. He spent many days with grandson Trever cutting firewood. Lyle was a great basketball player and played Richfield Outlaw basketball league for over 30 years, with Gale Hansen, Pete Appell, Grant Flavel, Jay Ward and many other friends. He was also a great bowler and he spent many happy years bowling with La Rae Brown, Tim Sanders, Jerry Davis, and Burl Akins. The Pipers loved a good poker game and Lyle played with many of his friends over the years, taking anyone’s money that he could get to play. Lyle and Betty traveled extensively through the years with family and friends, going south for the winter and seeing most of North America. Lyle is survived by his brother, Carl Piper (his partner in crime!) and family, his beloved wife, Betty Piper, his three children, Pam Piper, Kent Piper and his wife Debbie Piper, and Mike Piper, as well as his six grandchildren, Trever, Cassey, Drew, Derek, Max, and Lea, and 4 great-grandchildren, Ryelee, Nash, Payton and Paige. Lyle never liked to ride back down the same trail, so we know for sure that he’s headed to the top to see what’s on the other side. A celebration of life was held on Wednesday, October 9, 2013, at the L.D.S. church in Richfield, Idaho. Arrangements are under the care of Farnsworth Mortuary of Jerome. In lieu of flowers the family would suggest a donation to the Richfield Senior Citizen center, P.O. Box 195, Richfield, Idaho 83349.

Lucia Arrien Monasterio Lezamiz Lucia Arrien Monasterio Lezamiz, 89, of Richfield, Idaho, passed away on October 3, 2013, at her home surrounded by her family. Lucia, also known as, Luchy, Mom, Amuma, Guernica, Tia and B, was born in Guernica, Vizcaya, Spain on April 8, 1924. She was the second child born to Maria Monasterio and Tomas Arrien. Her older sister, Karmela Arrazola of Vitoria, Spain, survives her, and a younger brother, Victor Arrien of Amorebieta, Spain, predeceased her. As a young girl growing up in Guernica, Spain, she had a relatively happy childhood and helped her mother in the family hardware store. Her father was a successful building contractor and furniture maker. At the young age of 13, the Spanish Civil War broke out and in April of 1937 her hometown of Guernica was bombed and destroyed by Franco. She witnessed her home and town being bombarded, and her father was killed in the bombings. This event profoundly affected her and changed her life forever. She always kept a painting of Picasso’s “Guernica” in her home as a memory to her beloved father. She later met her husband, Ciriaco “Sid” Lezamiz and they married in Spain on May 05, 1948. They lived in Spain for a short time. Her husband returned to America to work in the sheepherding business. Shortly after their first child, Mary Lou was born in Spain, she left Spain to assist her husband in America who was herding sheep in Idaho and Nevada and to live in America the remainder of her life. She returned to Spain frequently to visit her family. Life was very different for Luchy in America where she worked very hard cooking for the sheep men and the truck drivers who were at the sheep camps. This required tremendous preparation and skill to get food prepared three times a day for all the hungry men in the camp, and at the same time raising two young children. Around 1959 Luchy and Sid quit working in the sheep business and purchased the family farm of 160 acres in Richfield, Idaho. By this time her family had grown to six children. While milking cows two times a day, bucking hay by hand, and raising six children, she also managed to can fruit, make preserves, sew clothes and to educate her children in matters of education and religion. The farm prospered from a single cow named “Suzie” to the current Buena Vista Ranch of 600 milk cows and 1600 acres. It is through Sid and Luchy’s vision and hard work that the ranch grew and flourished as did their family. She loved her family dearly and wanted all of her kids to be well educated with college degrees. Luchy’s gifts to her children were many: the importance of loyalty, honesty and diligence in work and education; appreciation for our Basque heritage and culture and American citizenship; bilingual skills in Spanish and English; the importance of a Christian/Catholic faith; hospitality to all visitors, always treating them to coffee, cookies and dinner, which usually included Basque rice, bacalao, lengua and fritos; the responsibil-
ity to share our gifts with others; the desire to improve ourselves with honest, hard work, and the insistence of striving to be the best one can be. Luchy was talented and passionate in many ways. She loved to cook and make her foods delicious and with an enticing presentation. She had a lovely singing voice and was known to sing in Spanish while cooking and cleaning her home. Mom was famous for her delectable, beautiful desserts, especially flan, arroz con leche, brazo de gitano, and her famous cream puffs. She was an accomplished seamstress as well as talented in embroidering linen tablecloths, knitting and crocheting baby sweaters and booties, and often knitting and crocheting from memory. She made sweaters and booties for all of her grandchildren and others. She was an avid gardener and always had a beautiful garden and healthy house plants in colorful pots of flowers all around the home. She loved to read in Spanish and English and was a voracious reader. While she still had good eyesight, she read the newspaper every day and always had a Spanish book at her bedside. She was very well informed about world events and enjoyed having political discussions with everyone. She was the bookkeeper for the ranch until her health began to fail. She was an astute business woman with a rich business background from her early years of working in her mother’s hardware store. She was a devote Catholic her entire life and often recited the rosary in memory of her family and those who had passed on. Luchy was preceded in death by her parents and her brother from Spain, and her husband, Sid in June of 2005. She is survived by her adult children: Mary Lou Limbago (Cisco), John Lezamiz (Bonnie), Margaret Lezamiz (John Schroeder), Sid Lezamiz, (Ricki), Robin Lezamiz (Karen), and Lynda Lezamiz Taber (Chris), and thirteen grandchildren, and six great grandchildren. Luchy was known as Amuma to all of her grandchildren who loved her dearly. She is also survived by extended family members in Spain. A Rite of Christian Burial will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, October 11, 2013, at St Edward’s Catholic Church (212 7th Avenue East, Twin Falls, Idaho) with a Rosary service beginning at 10:15 AM, before the Mass. Interment will follow at Twin Falls Cemetery, 2551 Kimberly Road, Twin Falls, Idaho, and a special celebration of her life will be held at St. Edward’s Catholic Parish Hall, Twin Falls, following interment. Gifts to honor Luchy’s memory can be made to the Boise Basque Museum & Cultural Center, 611 W Grove St., Boise, ID 83702, or to the Gooding Basque Cultural Center, 273 Euskadi Lane, Gooding, Idaho 83330. The family would like to thank Dr. Patrick Desmond, her family physician, for his years of attentive care and compassion, and special helpers, Judy R, Silvia, Claudia and Donna.

I don’t like to be too critical of books I review because one Nan’s junk could be another man’s treasure. Better to say that “Songs of Willow Frost” is an interesting story, that it is a presentation of Seattle throughout the mid-1900’ as seen through the eyes of an orphaned Chinese child who sees a woman singing in a movie whom he recognizes as his mother. It includes mean bureaucrats, an orphanage missing only a lead singer, Seattle’s version of Hollywood, and it’ all set during the great depression. How could you go wrong? The bone of contention for me is that the author, instead of building the motivation and inner voice of his characters into his prose, opted to put their inner dialogue in italics. These unspoken, one-liner-comebacks are jarring. It’s a rare adult who examines his own motivation for anger or sadness at the time it is happening. In fact, most adults are unaware of what truly motivates them and children even less aware. Children tend to think like children, and most of us go fumbling along through life, repeating our mistakes and that’s why therapy is saved for the deranged or rich (or rich and deranged). These characters will never need therapy – they have italics. Nonetheless, it’s worth the read.

obituaries David Kent Oneida
David Kent Oneida, age 70, unexpectedly went to live with our Heavily Father on October 5, 2013. Dave was born on October 7, 1942 in Gooding , Idaho to Martine Oneida from Shoshone, Idaho and Garnet Atwood Oneida from White River, South Dakota. Dave grew up on his family sheep farm in Shoshone, Idaho where he believed that he had the best life growing up. Dave graduated from Shoshone High School in 1961, in which he was a member of the high school football team. Dave was a member of the Fort Ord, California U.S. Army Reserves, 2nd Battalion and more recently was an active member of the Snake River Elks Lodge located in Jerome, Idaho. Dave spent most of his working years as an outfitter guide up in the Loon Creek area and a Dispatcher and Cement Bulker Driver for Idaho Concrete Company (October 1988March, 2009). Dave was devoted to his companion of 40 years, Rhett Hughes and was deeply loved by his family, friends and relatives, near and far. Dave was an avid hunter, fisherman, an awesome cook , a dedicated horse lover and rode shot-gun with his buddies often. Everyone that knew Dave, knew that he made the best dutch oven bread in Southern Idaho and it was devoured at every social event he attended. Dave loved to take the grandchildren and great- grandchildren in Kermit, his dune buggy where they would travel out to the desert and the timber. Dave was a big teddy bear with a heart of gold. Dave’s most favorite sayings was “Well, I don’t know about that!” Dave was preceded in death by his father, Martine Oneida and his mother, Garnet Oneida who passed away shortly after Dave on the same day. Dave is survived by his companion, Rhett Hughes, three siblings, Greg (Kelley) Oneida, Pat(Shanda) Hughes and Nikki (Lance) Kober, his two sisters, Renie (Bill) Bozzuto and Carmen Maestas, as wells as his six grandchildren, Lacey, Trent, Riley, TJ, Seth, Wyatt and Waylon, and his great -grandchildren Mekilla, Jordan and Tripton. Dave will be missed deeply by family, friends and everyone else he shared his life with. It was Dave’s wish that he not be grieved for in a funeral of death, but rather celebrated in a remembrance of life. The celebration will be at 4 p.m. on Friday, October 11, 2013 at the Snake River Elks Lodge (412 E 200 S, Jerome) with reception to follow. Dave’s family suggest in lieu of flowers, memorials be made in his name to: Snake River Elks Lodge.

“Cash on the Barrel head” was the common transaction of the early traders. Everything was shipped by wooden barrels. The barrels were easily transported by their ability to be rolled. Rats and other varmints were denied access. Since most barrels were shipped by wagon or ship, they were nearly waterproof. Acts of weather and ship sinking limited waste. In trading for a commodity, it would have to be paid for on delivery. Credit didn’t exist in today’s terms. The top of the barrel would serve as a flat spot or a table in which to do business. The protruding edge of the barrel would hold hard money from rolling off, even in a dock where a ship was always in motion. More so, the flat top of the barrel served as a neutral ground where the parties involved could display both hands for the trade. This kept weapons out of immediate reach. A few weeks ago I was passing by the bank where my employer’s payroll checks were drawn, I decided to cash my check in the bank. I approached the teller and asked him if I could cash the check in my hand. He immediately goes to the bank manager and talks to him. The bank manager comes to me and asks me if he could help me. I told him I thought that was what the teller was going to do. I was asked for a credit card as another form of ID. I told him I did not use credit cards and I pay cash for all my purchases. The manager then asked me if I had a debit card. I told him maybe he didn’t understand me, I pay cash for everything. No one wants to take a check, so I no longer use them as well. I gave the bank manager my hunting license, the registration to my pickup, a thumbprint, and my original high school diploma from YEARS ago. I guess that was enough to settle his mind. The bank manager then asked me if I would like to get a free checking account with their bank. I told him, nothanks, I would just as soon have an account where I pay my monthly service fee to cash my checks. In my opinion that is one of the things we have forgotten - responsibility. Every bank is offering free checks, free checking, and the like. My thoughts are, they have to be paid for somehow (that may explain why a bank with checks drawn on it wants to charge you if you are not their customer). Credit cards keep their 20% plus interest fees like clockwork. I would rather have that cash in my pocket. The expression, “In God we trust, and all others pay cash,” seems to categorize me. All the paper money I have ever used states, “This is legal tender for all debts public and private.” When you see me driving through town with a wooden barrel in back of my pickup, you might suspect I might be going to the bank. This is my “Cup of Tee” cash on the barrel head.
