Schubert Theatre Roof Project To Begin
Press Release The members of the board of Gooding Restoration for entertainment, Arts and Theater (GREAT, Inc.) have signed a contract to begin construction on the upper roof above the stage of the Schubert Theater, to begin November 1, 2017. Richard Creason with Myers-Anderson Architects from Pocatello, Idaho is the lead architect for the restoration of the Schubert beginning with this project. Cost for the total project is approximately $90,000 - $100,000 depending on escalation of the cost of materials. There are 5 layers of tar and other roofing material that has to be removed and taken to the Burley waste site. A special chute has to be built to transfer the material which has to be wrapped for transport in a dump truck which accounts for the high cost of the roof. Although there are enough funds for the construction of the upper roof and part of the lower roof, additional funding for the lower roof is still needed to complete the critical final phase of this project before restoration can begin on the inside. Questions have been raised by some about ownership of the Schubert and it appears there is a misconception that the theatre is privately owned. The Schubert is owned by the charitable nonprofit Gooding Restoration for Entertainment, Arts and Theatre, Inc. As a designated nonprofit by the IRS, donations may be tax deductible. We are very grateful for the funding we have received for this historic roof project from the Idaho Heritage Trust, Idaho Community Foundation, Union Pacific Railroad, Northwest Farm Credit Services and the many local businesses, individual and anonymous donors and volunteers who have generously supported this worthy project in one way or another. GREAT, Inc., welcomes gifts sent as memorials or in honor of individuals on their birthdays, anniversaries, retirement or other special occasions. Gifts can be sent to: GREAT, Inc., PO Box 433, Gooding, Idaho 83330.

Federal Airport Improvement Program
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recently awarded nearly $37 million in grants to Idaho airports from the Airport Improvement Program (AIP). In all, 23 recipients received 32 FAA-AIP grants to maintain and improve Idaho’s airport facilities. This is the culmination of a joint federal, state, and local airport process to address air transportation in Idaho. “Idaho’s quality airport system requires regular investment,” Idaho Division of Aeronautics Administrator Mike Pape said. “With that level of interest and commitment, Idaho will keep and improve a world-renowned airport system that services the citizens of Idaho to meet goals for mobility, safety, and economic opportunity.” Here’s where the money went: * Idaho’s six primary (passenger) airports received grants totaling $28,961,834. * Idaho’s federally eligible General Aviation airports received grants totaling $7,619,553. * The Idaho Division of Aeronautics received a grant for $410,000 to update their Airport System Plan. The state of Idaho, through ITD’s Division of Aeronautics, has provided an additional $1 million to assist airport owners in meeting the matching-funds obligation that is part of the FAA-AIP funding and to provide funding for small community airports that do not qualify for federal funding.

Musher Girls Soccer Teams Notch Victories In Penultimate Weekend Matches
Two games, two more wins for the Musher girls soccer teams’ strong season. Snowy field conditions did not prevent second-grader Ivy Ashmead from having another dominating performance in netting five goals. The first and second grade team prevailed 6-1 against the Green Gators with Katy Schoepp adding the final score for the undefeated little Mushers. The third and fourth grade team bounced back after their lone loss of the season last week with a strong showing against the Green Jelli-beans. They played smothering defense enroute to a 2 nil victory. Short handed, the girls borrowed a couple players from the Blue Pandas to assist. The guest players fit right in with the Dutch “total football” style of play employed by the Mushers. Charlie Lee got the deciding goal, with guest Amelia providing the clincher with a second half striker’s goal into the upper left corner. The fifth and sixth grade team had a week off, but will be back in action this weekend, kicking off at 9am Saturday morning in the first game of a double header to round out the season. Come and support the Musher girls final games Saturday in Hailey! Photo: Gigi Weber in action for the Mushers.

Newspapers are in big trouble. Why? In 1776, a book was published in America which sold over 120,000 copies in just three months. In a year’s time it sold over 500,000 copies. Any publisher today would be happy with those numbers (anything over 10,000 is good). But, to put that into perspective, 120k in 1776 was 5% of the population and 500k was 20%. To reach 20% of the American population today would require 60 million copies. Even more extraordinary was the content of this book, composed of complex language and ideas - Common Sense by Thomas Paine. If you tried to publish something like this today, no one would buy it, not because of a lack of interest but because people would not understand it. The vast majority of modern Americans are woefully ignorant of world affairs, American history, and the workings of our government. A few weeks ago, researchers at the Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC) release a study showing that only a quarter of American adults could name all three branches of the federal government, while 37% couldn’t name a single right protected by the First Amendment. Half of those surveyed in the study were able to identify freedom of speech as being a right enshrined by the First Amendment, but only 15% identified freedom of religion, 14% freedom of the press, 10% right of peaceful assembly, and only 3% knew about the right to petition the government. This is a big problem for newspapers (and other news media). World affairs and government being the bulk of what we cover, how do we explain these things to readers that have no idea what we are talking about? But perhaps more importantly, how do we publish reliable stories when our own “journalists” are just as ignorant? The news media is often accused of being bias. While this is undeniably true, the purveyors of news in the 1700’s and 1800’s were just as bias. The difference between now and then is not bias, but the education level of our readers. This has resulted in a profound disinterest in news. So, what do newspapers do to survive? continued next week...

Cup of Tee
This last weekend I attended our 40 year high school reunion from Emmett High School of Emmett, Idaho. It’s hard to believe I have been out of high school that many years. The reunion consisted of a Friday night football game with pizza afterwards in Emmett, and a Saturday night dinner at the Hilton Hotel in Eagle, Idaho. I wasn’t able to attend the football game because I was working, but I made it to share memories at the pizza parlor. In Junior High school most everyone attended Parkview Jr. High which was across from the city park in Emmett. With politics and progress, the Jr. High school was torn down and a city clerk’s office/police station was built in it’s place. I came to the pizza party with a tee-shirt that had our old Parkview Spartans logo on it. I had run across a fellow who had the original prints and I had him make me a shirt. Conversation was easy for me because everyone was asking me, “Where did you get that shirt? I want one.” Only people who went to Parkview would understand. On Saturday night a little different memory was created. I know you are probably saying, “What did you do, Tee, to be out of the ordinary?” I can honestly say it was the car I drove to the dinner. Did I say, car? Most everyone expected me to drive a truck. Did I say, truck? I don’t think I said that either. My car was a 1954 classic... classic tractor! I drove one of my John Deere 60 tractors to my class reunion, from Nampa, Idaho, to Eagle, which was around 20+ miles. Needless to say the evening was a little crisp. I had originally planned to drive it to my 30 year reunion. A short in my wiring let me down last reunion - long story short. As luck had it, without knowing what part of the hotel our meeting was in, I managed
by Tee Hurd
to park right in front of the correct door going inside. The classmates there before myself had the instant question, “Tee, did you drive that tractor here?” The class president started the dinner off by welcoming everyone and said, “There will be drinks if you want them. The bar has been established and you are on your own for drinks. If you drink too much, Tee Hurd will be your designated driver and he drove his tractor to this dinner.” Once again conversation was easy for me because everyone’s question was, “Tee, did you really drive a tractor to the reunion,” or “how far did you drive?” Everyone was showing pictures of grandchildren except me - my phone was full of tractor pictures. When we left, everyone wanted a picture of the tractor. I went to start it and it wouldn’t start. My friend jumped it with his nice car. To save face while this was going on, I had to say, “Ed’s car wouldn’t start and I had to jump it with my tractor.” Although my tractor had aged like the rest of my classmates, it was glad to go to a class reunion, with the cracked seat, leaky oils, faded pain, and worn tires. It had never been to a class reunion of sorts. The tractor in now looking forward to the next 10 year reunion. This is my Ordinary “Cup of Tee.”

Survival Gear Everyone Needs
Hunting is a safe activity, but every year hunters find themselves deeper in the woods than they expected and longer than they planned. Fall hunting season also comes with fall weather, which in Idaho means anything from 70s to sub freezing, and sometimes within hours of each other. Mix in snow and rain, pursuing game into more rugged and remote places than you would normally go, and you can get yourself into precarious situations. For those reasons, it’s smart for hunters to carry survival gear. But don’t think of it as strictly stuff you use in a worst-case scenario. You can also use it during your normal hunts and still have it if things go sideways. You don’t have to carry everything listed here on every hunt, but these are valuable items for many purposes. Lighters: They’re cheap, light and don’t take up much space, so get a bunch of them. Carry one in your pocket, another in your day pack, and have spares in your vehicle. You’re constantly needing a lighter to start a campfire, light a stove or lantern so try have one or two with you. Remember inexpensive lighters that get saturated won’t ignite, so stash one in a waterproof container. Fire starter: Don’t expect to always find dry wood. Buy some fire starter or make your own. Don’t feel like it’s only for emergencies. Fire starters are good for campfires, and you can make a small fire in the field and heat up a lunch or hot drink. Bring a small pot or metal cup to heat water. Compass: Even if you carry a GPS, have a compass. A GPS is electronic and requires batteries, which means it can fail. A compass is more reliable. Use it at the start of each hunt to orient yourself to certain landmarks so you can reference them later. Space blanket: These work for emergency shelter, but you can also use them to lay meat to keep it clean when you’re quartering or butchering in the field. A word of caution: don’t wrap meat in them for transport. Space blankets are designed to retain heat, and you’re trying to cool the meat. Signal whistle: These are small, cheap and lightweight. A couple quick blasts will get someone’s attention, and the sound carries farther than shouting. Handy for locating your hunting buddy. Wide-mouth, plastic water bottle: Even if you use a water bladder in your pack, have a plastic bottle to stash other items inside to keep them dry and protected. You can fill the bottle from any water source when you’re butchering an animal so you don’t sacrifice drinking water to clean up. Spare long-john shirt and socks: Changing into a dry shirt and/or socks makes a huge difference on a cold, wet day. Store them in a heavy duty, waterproof plastic bag. A one-gallon zip-top bag can also carry water, or carry a heart and liver so your pack doesn’t get bloody. Lightweight rain jacket: Wearing a fully waterproof jacket and get you sweaty during a hike, so many hunters opt for more breathable jackets. A lightweight raincoat will keep you dry in heavy rain. It might only get used once or twice a season, but it can save you from getting drenched. Parachute cord/rope: Comes in handy for a variety of things, such as hanging quarters or dragging an animal. In an emergency you can use it to build a shelter. Instant soup, hot beverages: Hot soup, hot chocolate, tea or instant coffee can warm you up on a cold day and provide an energy boost. High-energy food: There are so many energy bars and similar calorie-dense foods on the market that you can carry a lot of calories without much weight or bulk. Carry some extras for those unexpected, prolonged outings. You might also try a military MRE. They’re a little heavy and bulky, but if pull the main course and the heating packet you can have a hot meal that provides a lot of calories.
