Building America in Lincoln County
The Union Pacific Foundation recently anounced generous grants to 32 Idaho nonprofit organizations, including Saddle Up Lincoln County. This is the second grant that the Union Pacific Foundation has given Saddle Up Lincoln County in support of the Nutritional Food Values program. This program provides qualiaty perishable protein items to food pantries in Lincoln County. Saddle Up Lincoln County administers the grant which provides food for 125 to 140 families for a least six months. The railroad came through Shoshone over 130 years ago. Like thousands of little towns across the country, the arrival of the railroad changed everything. Suddenly our vast country wasn’t so big - most places were just a train ride away.
Today, people still have a hard time going anywhere Lincoln County without noticing or crossing the railroad tracks which go right through the middle of Shoshone. Union Pacific trains pass through the area many times each day, making them a big part of that community. Union Pacific has a long standing history of supporting and improving the quality of life in the communities where its employees live and work. Saddle Up Lincoln County recognizes and appreciates Union Pacific’s civic leadership, and its role as an outstanding corporate citizen. The grant from the Union Pacific Foundation’s “Building America” program will make Saddle Up’s goal of “Striving for a Healthy and Prosperous Community” a lot easier to acheive.

Bird Hunting In Idaho Most of Idaho will open for waterfowl hunting on October 17, excluding Area 1 in southeast Idaho which opened October 3rd. The statewide daily bag limit is seven ducks; but not more than two female mallard, three scaup, two redhead, two pintail, and two canvasback. The daily goose bag limit is four Canada geese; 10 white-fronted geese; and 20 for light geese (Snow and Ross’ geese). The possession limit is three times the daily bag limit. The upcoming season looks to be excellent nationally with record numbers of ducks available for hunters. Most waterfowl in Idaho are produced from breeding areas in southern Alberta and Saskatchewan, which had fair-to-good nesting conditions during spring. The regular 2015 pheasant season also gets underway October 17 in Area 2 and 3, excluding Area 1 in northern Idaho which opened October 10th. The pheasant season runs through November 30 in Area 2 and through December 31 in Area 1 and 3. continued on page 7.....

Helping Your Neighbors
Helping Hearts & Hands in Gooding opened their doors 8 1/2 years ago - February 2007. Open five days a week, HH&H operates mainly as a foodbank and resource center for needy families in Gooding county. Their volunteers are constantly thinking about how to help local families get back on their feet. Now they need your help raising awareness and funds for the annual Christmas holiday food basket. During the week before Christmas volunteers prepare and distribute about 250 special food boxes to give each family a special holiday treat. They often included personal care items (i.e. shampoo, soap, toothpaste, hand lotion, etc.). They also like to include holiday food items such as ham, turkey, and stuffing, which costs a little more. They are asking organizations, churches, and individuals to provide 250 of one “item” such as oil, sugar, Jell-O, canned fruit, oranges, margarine or butter, cake or brownie mixes, hot chocolate, coffee, eggs, stuffing, sweet potatoes or yams. For personal care items they would like some of the following: laundry soap, dish soap, tooth brushes, toothpaste, shampoo, bar soap, deodorant, shaving cream or hand lotion. All items are needed no later than December 11, 2015, so the baskets can be assembled. As soon as you know which item you would like to donate, please call the HH&H office at 934-5101 and talk with Kim or Bette, so that we can cross that item off the list. For those who prefer to make a cash donation, that is also an option. Commitments have been made for some of the following items: meat, gravy mix, canned corn or green beans, flour, bread, tea, onions, potatoes, cheese, and razors. They will also be collecting new and slightly worn coats for the kids and young people. Hats, gloves and socks can be donated as well, but they no longer collect and distribute toys. If you or your group would like to help in any way, please contact Helping Hearts & Hands at 2080-934-5101. You can also volunteer to help throughout the whole year.

Charles Scott McDougal, 49, a resident of Buhl, passed away Thursday, October 8, 2015 at his home in Buhl. Charles Scott McDougal was born April 19 1966 to Harold and Carol McDougal in Santa Monica Ca, he joined his sister Lori and older brother Gil. From there in 1972 the family moved to Idaho and started a dairy. And that’s when his interest in dairy cows began. At that time little brother Deporter was born and joined the family. Scott went to school in Gooding, he participated in sports and FFA. After graduation he went to work on a dairy, and that business led him to Oregon where out of two separate unions he was blessed with two beautiful daughters Allison, and Justine. He spent many years in Oregon doing dairy work. Later in life moved back to Idaho and started an AI business, and later became a truck driver. He enjoyed hunting, fishing and BBQing. About 3 years ago Scott began coming to church at Calvary Chapel in Buhl, where he dedicated his life to Christ and became active in men’s group. Scott is now in a safe place, and will miss him until we see him again. We find comfort knowing he is with the lord. He is survived by his parents Harold and Carol McDougal, Two Daughters Allison, and Justine McDougal, His Sister Lori Sites, His Brothers Gil (Betty) McDougal and Depoter McDougal and 5 Nieces. He will be missed deeply by those who know and love him. A memorial service will be held at 2:00 pm, on Friday, October 16, 2015 at Calvary Chapel (1004 Burley Ave.) in Buhl. Arrangements by Demaray Funeral Service. Condolences may be shared at www.demarayfuneralservice.com.

Dear Citizens of District 26
Financial Advisor
I will not be seeking a 7th term as State Representative in 2016. I am proud of the work we have accomplished these last 12 years and will always cherish the relationships fostered as I worked with constituency groups throughout District 26 to solve problems as they came up. The responsibilities and the busy schedule of the Legislature, both in session and out, have made it difficult to spend time with family and especially grandchildren’s activities. After the election in 2016 I also look forward to devoting more time to fishing, hunting, hiking and enjoying Idaho’s fantastic natural resources with them. Strong political headwinds in the Capitol often create more challenges for the people, businesses, and communities of our rural district. I have been proud to press for better educational opportunities, smarter business incentives, and for building our infrastructure. I have worked to help people understand that rural Idahoans have been forced to pay more for less, while wealthy, well-connected special interests have enjoyed special treatment and tax cuts. A fairer political system is within our grasp as more Idahoans recognize that Idaho Democrats, such as myself, have core values that most closely align with Idaho families, workers, businesses and communities. There are accomplished Democrats in District 26 who are willing to step up and devote a period of their lives to public service and I will work hard to get them elected next year. Thank you, citizens of District 26, for the honor of serving as your State Representative since 2004. Together we have made it a better place to be.

Serving with all Gentleness & Compassion...
Last Saturday my family hosted a 50th birthday party for my brother. He flew in from the Tennessee State to be his own guest. Harvest is going on statewide in Idaho, so we (the siblings) were unable to go to Tennessee to surprise him. All in all we had what you might call a harvest party. The decorations were very colorful, right down to the “50” pound bag of potatoes being displayed (five tens also made 50). To look back 50 years, one can see a lot of changes in our world. If you aren’t’ old enough to remember 50 years of change, you can reflect on a few years alone and see tremendous change in just technology. For instance, they claim men landed on the moon in 1969. I still have my personal doubts whether 1969 was the actual year, but one thing you can “count” on is the show Sesame Street did debut in 1969. Although the show Gunsmoke started in 1955, you could have caught it until 1975 or reruns after that. Some things have spanned time well. TV in the 1960’s brought plain, simple, humorous, and decent TV. In the 1970’s, TV was filled with every kind of show to give you something to do while you were home mad at the 55mph speed limits, and gasoline shortages and prices. Mash, Happy Days, and numerous others gave us long seasons as well. The 1980’s and 90’s reduced all the old rules of television broadcasting. Today you have everything from reality to science fiction with the click of the remote control, which no one had heard of in earlier years. News, four days old, was still news when you got it. The postal system with stamps and letters served us instead of the internet or multi-media sources. Gas pumps, if they were open on Sunday, would use paper currency instead of plastic cards. Books were made of paper bindings instead of plastic electronic devices. Typewriters were used instead of keyboards. Water was drank out of a garden hose instead of a plastic bottle (buying water in the store was unheard of). If you cruised town in a 1960’s or 70’s pickup or car, they were not considered antique because they were new then. Threewheeled motorcycles were as awkward as computers themselves. Today’s computers fit in the width of a pencil compared to the size of a classroom like they use to. Walking a mile to catch a school bus was common practice. Walking two miles to meet in the middle to decide where to walk when hunting, was first nature. Airplanes served you a full meal on a flight compared to peanuts and soft drinks made with artificial sugars. Foods weren’t as artificial as they are today. If I was to go on and mention the change in the last 50 years, I would have to give you a hardback encyclopedia (what’s that???). Allow yourself a moment to think about the change, but for this “Cup of Tee,” I need a nap☺.

Hunters: Exercise Caution in Burned Areas
While fire season is winding down or over in most parts of the state, hunters still need to be vigilant of hazards associated with recently burned areas. Hunters are reminded that wildfires can still occur during fall, and they should always be careful with campfires, barbecues, motors (chainsaws, generators, ATVs), and other items that can cause fires. Hunters should make sure their campfires are completely out before they leave for their morning hunts or anytime they leave their camps. Here are a few precautions for people traveling in recently burned areas: · Driving – Please drive slowly with your head lights on. Watch for fire vehicles and personnel, other traffic, and do not stop on the road. · Hazardous trees – Fire damaged trees can fall unexpectedly. Be aware of your surroundings and avoid areas with snags. · Debris – Watch for rolling rocks, logs, and other debris. Take a saw of some type (handsaw in Wilderness areas) for potentially clearing roads and trails. · Watch for ash pits – Ash pits are holes of hot or cold ashes, created by burned trees and stumps. Falling into ash pits can cause burns and/or lower leg injuries. · Flooding – The risk of floods remains significantly higher until burned vegetation can re-grow—up to five years after a wildfire. · Wilderness visitors – If you travel in the vicinity of a fire, be aware of rapid and unpredictable fire spread, rolling debris, falling snags and trees, and limited visibility. · Prepare: Plan your trip with the most current fire information and use trails that avoid the fire. Take a map and compass, and let others know your travel plans. Navigation skills are important in fire areas where trail signs may have burned and are no longer present or readable. · Watch: As you travel, look out for burned out trees and snags, unstable sections of the trail, rolling rocks. · Camp: Choose a safe place to camp. Look for areas away from the fire, in open areas out of the timber, away from falling/rolling hazards below cliffs and slopes. Insure that campfires are out before leaving the area. · In addition, Forest Service fire personnel will be conducting fall prescribed burning which could last for several weeks depending on weather and fuel conditions. Signs will be posted on roads near all burn areas prior to and when burning is in progress, and fire personnel will attempt to contact people who might be hunting or recreating in an area before a planned ignition. Specific information is available by contacting the local ranger district.
