News City of Shoshone Candidates
On November 5, 2013, voters will be asked to choose between a number of candidates for city offices. In Shoshone, two individuals are running for mayor, and two city council positions are open with three people running.
the dedicated department supervisors. If Shoshone needs anything, it’s a bit of growth. “We have a great water treatment plant, but to keep up with maintenance and operating costs, the town really need more people living here.” When asked how to bring more people in, he replied, “Shoshone is a hub of Southern Idaho with two main highways. It is a natural place for business and a great place to live. We need to sell those ideas.”
Dave Wendell
After being elected to the Shoshone City Council in 2010, Dave Wendell was appointed to fill out the mayor’s position in 2012. Mr. Wendell believes in being actively involved in his community and serves as a captain on the Shoshone Fire Department. During the slow economy, he has been seeking grant money for a number of projects that the city needs, but can’t afford on its own, such as more efficient street lights, improved sidwalks, and Source Water protection. Mr. Wendell said the city is running very well thanks
Dale Sluder
The other candidate for mayor is no stranger to city government. Having served on the city council for 28 years, Dale Sluder believes it is time to change his position and take on new responsibilities. During his time on the council he has served with seven different mayors and seen the right way to do things and the wrong way to do things. Learn
from mistakes and build on successes, is a good way to describe Mr. Sluder’s ideology. Having run a business for 40 years, he knows how to manage employees. “The trick is make things friendly. The boss has to be firm at times, but he can never forget that his workers are people too.” Mr. Sluder said this applies to the residents and businesses in the community as well. “Make it friendly,” he said, meaning that people move to and stay in communities that strive to be friendly at all levels. “That’s how to make a community grow.” Mr. Sluder said it’s that sort of attitude that brought Rocky Mountain Hardware to Shoshone. “It also helps to keep city fees reasonable, and only enact ordinances when absolutely necessary.” There are two open seats on the Shoshone City Council. The two incumbents (Jann Thomsen and Dan Pierson) are being challenged by Tammy Swaner who worked for Lincoln County for over ten year including three years as the Clerk of the District Court. Her main goal is to make sure citizens know their voices are being heard by making herself available. Jann Thomsen has been on and off the council for several years. Lately, she has been very involved in trying to preserve Main Street. “I want

Highway Accident Claims Life of Richfield Man On Sunday afternoon of this week, a collision between an ATV and a pickup claimed the life of Donald Riley, 92, of Richfield. The accident took place just over a mile southwest of Richfield at 720 North and Highway 26. According to the Idaho State Police the ATV driven by Mr. Riley failed to yield to the pickup driven by Juan Linares Nava of Richfield. Mr. Nava swerved and tried to avoid the collision, but couldn’t do so. Mr. Riley was not wearing a helmet and died of his injuries at the scene. As of the printing of this newspaper, no services have been announced for Donald Riley, also known as “Cotton” Riley. Shoshone to be a destination again, not just a place to drive through. To do that, we need to preserve and restore our historic downtown.” Dan Pierson works for the Idaho Transportation Department and has served two terms on the city council. “I really enjoy serving my community, and hope to continue doing so.” He also believes working for ITD is a great asset in addressing city issues.

Years ago, Joe K. and I were hauling hay during the winter to feed livestock. Our work place had bought some hay from another farmer and we had to haul it to feed it. The hay was in an old barn which had stalls used to hold several teams of draft (work) horses on each side. The middle was used to store hay. I spied a large thick rope hanging from the center of the barn. Joe and I both climbed up to the second story to analyze the rope. I got this wild idea to swing on this rope from one side of the barn to the other. Tarzan only used vines to swing from tree to tree. I grabbed the rope and was set to swing when Joe said to me, “You always get to do thing first. How come I can’t swing first?” Joe had a good point, so with that, I handed Joe the rope. Joe took the rope and in a moment he launched towards the other side. Nearly three quarters of the way across... the rope broke, and Joe finished the rest of the swing in a downward fall. His fall seemed to be at terminal velocity (maximum speed). Joe made the other side okay, but slammed into the tall stable wall. He hit high and slid down the face of the wall. Once his feet hit the ground, Joe fell backwards flat on the ground. His cowboy hat was mashed level with his face making it look like a paper plate on edge. As Joe laid there motionless with no apparent form of life, I scrambled to Joe’s aid. He had the breath knocked out of him. Once we found out that he was okay and not seriously injured, we both laughed. Why do people laugh when people are nearly hurt? America’s Funny Home Videos makes a weekly series out of such misfortune. Everyone laughs. The slap stick comedy of early black & white silent movies play on misfortune to make people laugh. Cartoons of today do exactly the same. In the cartoon “Roger Rabbit” a line in the cartoon states, “you can’t hurt a toon.” Maybe not. I believe one of the reasons people laugh is because humor in itself is a healing force. It stimulates all kinds of good activities in the human body that can benefit you. Sorrow hurts too much and nobody wants to hurt. An accident or close call may be out of the normal everyday set of robotic procedure. It is one of those phenomena that is out of human control. Humor of such activity may simply mean beating the odds. The element of surprise may be a reason we laugh at near falls. Then again, it may be the faces that we make that we haven’t made since we were babies exploring the world. Each and everyone of us may be singled to be in the special spotlight. Falling on the ice is by no means funny to anyone. The body movements, facial expressions, and timing makes us laugh afterwards. Running into a nice clean patio door simply means that a good cleaning was done or a good cleaner was used. This is my “Cup of Tee” not so funny. Tee Hurd

Letter to the Editor
Unaccustomed Earth by Jhumpa Lahiri The five short stories in the first half of this book showed me that second generation Bengalis are just a screwed up as regular old Americans who have been here for a few generations. Poor relationship skills, men who don’t communicate, irresponsible behavior, lack of morals, addictions to alcohol and fast food, the Bengalis once removed switched gears from pious Hindi to me-generation Ivy League Americans with record speed. I don’t admire that behavior in Americans and I didn’t like it much in Indians either. The last two stories were twined together, written in first person by the two protagonists, first hers then his, then an omnipotent third person when they were together. It’s always interesting to note the female review of a life event as played out beside the male review of the same event. Do men notice anything except make and model? I struggled through the first half of the book feeling cheated because I did not get an armchair tour of Calcutta or Bombay but I did get chilblains from the seemingly never ending Massachusetts winter. But, once the scene shifted to Rome, the uncommunicative man stayed the same but the scenery, architecture, and food, got a lot better and I was salivating over great coffee and biscotti and glorious Roman sunsets. Anyway, this guy gets a Big Surprise in the end, so be sure and keep turning those pages.

To the Voter of Shoshone,
Hello, my name is Tammy Swaner. I was raised in Shoshone and I raised my 2 children here. I have always felt that this is a great place to raise a family. I am running for the position on the Shoshone City Council. I made the decision to run for council because the people of Shoshone are important to me and I believe that there needs to be change in the way our people are being represented. The people of Shoshone need to be able to contact their councilmen when there are concerns and I will listen to those concerns and address them. When our citizens enter the doors of City Hall, they need to be assured that, as a whole, they are being heard. I worked for Lincoln County from 1990 to 2001. The last three years as Clerk of the District Court until moving and taking employment with the Minidoka County Courts for 5 years after which returning to Shoshone. I have overseen employees through previous jobs, worked with and understand the budget process and would welcome conversation with all. I ask that you, the people of Shoshone come out and vote on November 5, 2013. I would appreciate all that would consider me. This is my hometown and it is as important to me as it is to all of you.

Labrador No Longer a Part of the Solution
by Mark Galaviz - Idaho Democratic Latino Caucus Boise--Idaho Congressman Raul Labrador, formerly a Caldwell immigration lawyer, has turned his back yet again on those he once helped gain citizenship by refusing to work on immigration reform efforts. Yesterday, Labrador told the Idaho Statesman that he will not work towards a compromise on immigration reform. This comes after Labrador abandoned the bipartisan “gang of eight” back in June that was working towards a comprehensive immigration bill. In a statement filled with vitriol and broken promises, Mr. Labrador wants us to believe our nation’s problems with Immigration Rights, Health Care, and Debt Ceilings can be solved by pointing fingers and refusing to work together to find a compromise. Labrador’s campaign website claims that “honesty” and “integrity” are his foundational principles. What part of honesty is it to drag your feet and refuse to even discuss immigration reform? I am curious about how much integrity it takes to continue to work against reforms that would keep families together while suggesting that the United States deport any that are not here “legally”? The system itself is broken, and we need to face the realities in front of us instead of running away from one of the most serious issues facing many families in the great state of Idaho. We need to stop instituting policies of profiling and instead understand the benefits of working with all who are here in America to solve its problems. Only together can we solve serious issues, and Raul Labrador needs to see he is now part of the problem, not part of the solution. Legal Notices ~ Legal Notices ~ Legal Notices

The Shut Down Strategy & Obamacare Idahoans Deserve the Truth By Congressman Mike Simpson
Washington, D.C – “You may be hearing more and more from people in Idaho and some in Washington D.C. who would like you to believe that I support Obamacare. They are attempting to reinvent my longstanding position opposed to the law, and are painting my vote to end the government shutdown as implicit support for a law I have consistently opposed. They should be held accountable for those comments. “This is a sad distraction. You deserve honesty from your elected officials. “The simple fact is the only disagreement between Republicans over the last few weeks has been over strategy, not policy. Every Republican is united in opposition to government run health care. I ultimately opposed the strategy of shutting down the government and threatening the U.S. credit to continue a fight without a possible resolution. “For these people now labeling me inconsistent, it wasn’t about winning, it was about the fight. “It isn’t about putting up a fight, because in the end we lost this fight. It is about winning. I want to win. I want Obamacare repealed, forever. The truth is the only way to get rid of Obamacare is to win elections. And shutting down the government and alienating voters will not help repeal Obamacare. Not surprisingly, Republican support in almost every national poll has shown a significant decline in recent weeks. “Idahoans expect their elected officials to do more than throw political bombs and tear down their opponents. They want to hear realistic solutions to the problems facing the country. The health care crisis is real, and more than that, health care is not just an economic issue, it is a personal issue. It impacts all of our lives. Unfortunately, we have seen a shift in this country away from patient centered care, toward government controlled care that limits our options. “I’ve laid out my vision for a health care system many times. It starts with full repeal of Obamacare. Idahoans won’t be fooled by attempts to paint me as supportive of something I have voted to repeal or reform 42 times. Once Obamacare is gone we will spur competition by allowing the purchase of insurance across state lines and pooling of plans by small businesses, reform medical malpractice laws – also known as tort reform, protect those with pre-existing conditions, and expand Health Savings Accounts. “The simple fact is Obamacare will remain as long as President Obama is in office or Harry Reid holds the Senate. Now is not the time to play politics with health care. Now is not the time to eat our own, now is the time to come together to lay out a vision for more accessible, affordable, and personalized health care. Let’s get to work.”
