2015 City Elections
Last Thursday, Kathy Stone was appointed to the Fairfield City Council. She was intending to run for that position, but the resignation of Council member Matt Croner, who has taken on a new business, left a vacancy that needed to be filled before the end of the year. This appointment leaves the Fairfield City Election without any contested races. Scott Marolf is seeking another term as Mayor, and Tyler Ballard
and Terry Lee are running for their council seats. In Lincoln County, only Shoshone has contested races. Dale Sluder and Mike Wallace are being challenged by Payson Reese, President of the Lincoln County Chamber of Commerce, and Jann Thomsen who has served on the council before. In Richfield, Charles Buttcane is running for mayor, and Leav’en Hatch and Maureen Ward are running for their council seats. In Dietrich, Robert Jaurequi and Boyd King are running for city council, and Donald Heiken is running for Mayor. Voters in the Southeast corner of Lincoln County are being asked to approve a supplemental levy for Joint School District #331 which takes in part of Lincoln, Minidoka, Cassia,

When we were smaller we were told the words of wisdom, “Sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me.” Is it a true theorem? I guess at that time of life we are taught to overlook hurtful talk, but as an adult I see that verbal abuse is everlasting. In marriage hurtful talk creates low self esteem in the one being abused. Hurtful words can keep a person from fulfilling their goodness or even pursue things in life. Children don’t achieve because everything they do is wrong! Yesterday was boss’s day. To me it’s just another day but the question to me was, “Are bosses really giving their workers the praise they should have or the promotions?” I would like to think that in today’s time we are all grown enough to pass on a good word. A good word will push a canoe upstream whereas a bad word will float it on down the stream of life. Someone had sent me this little story following. I would like to share it with you. “The once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the younger boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, “You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won’t matter how many times you say I’m sorry, the wound is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.” Friends are very rare jewels, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share words of praise and they always want to open their hearts to us. This is my “Cup of Tee” hoping to say good and forgive me if I have ever left a hole. Tee Hurd

YMCA, FIRED Up program in American Falls, Murtaugh Afterschool Program, Harrison Elementary Afterschool program in Twin Falls, Jerome and Camas County Community Libraries, and the new SPARK program of the Cassia County School District in Burley and Declo. “It’s wonderful to have so many Idaho programs celebrating this week. Afterschool programs help prepare Idaho youth for life and careers in the 21st Century,” said Marie Hattaway, Program Director for the Idaho AfterSchool Network. “Idaho programs keep kids safe, increase school attendance, improve grades and test scores, keep kids excited about learning and help them adjust better socially.” Hattaway also noted that afterschool time is a natural fit for youth to explore and master STEM skills, which helps meet the workforce shortage in these fields. New data released from the national America After 3 survey shows that 80 percent of Idaho’s afterschool programs offer enrichment lessons in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) and that is above the national average of 69 percent. Yet only eight percent of Idaho youth are enrolled in an afterschool program. “Celebrations like Lights On Afterschool build a showcase of afterschool programs and remind us to support those that are enriching the lives of Idaho young people and our guest speakers communities.” Celebrations are unique lunch will from carnivals to open housbe provided es. Lights On Afterschool activities include conducting ncmc medical science experiments, coding office building computer games, designing art projects, performing munovember 4th sic, cooking meals, or physical activities. Mayors, city 11:30 - 1:30 council members, school officials, business leaders, and parents will help showcase afterschool programs. More information available at www.afterschoolalliance.org.

a spectrum of stakeholders in reviewing the State grazing rate, which has not been reviewed in 20 years,” said the subcommittee’s chairman, Secretary of State Denney. “The public can expect open meetings at locations around the state, a public comment period, and regular updates from the Idaho Department of Lands throughout the review process. Our efforts to review the grazing rate methodology align with our duty to maximize long-term financial returns to the schoolchildren of Idaho.” The grazing rate review process is the second leg in an effort to comprehensively review the entire IDL grazing program, in order to enhance the long-term income and value of the 1.4 million-acre rangeland asset managed by IDL under the direction of the Land Board. The Idaho Constitution mandates that the lands be managed to maximize long-term financial returns to public schools and other beneficiaries. IDL finalized a grazing program business plan in May after a year of engaging the public on overall management concepts for the 1.4 million-acre rangeland asset.
