Fighting Cancer with Pink Everything
Last Friday morning, a cloud of pink t-shirts filled the lobby of North Canyon Medical Center (NCMC) as the Gooding Pro Rodeo presented this year’s Tough Enough To Wear Pink donation - $10,650. This money is being use to purchase a special SmartCurve System to add to the hospital’s 3D Mammograpy. Women should get a mammogram every one or two years, however, many women postpone or forego the proceedure because they fear the pain associated with mammograms (almost 50% of women say this is the reason they’ve never had a mammogram). Two contributing factors to pain and/or discomfort are compression force and time under compression. The SmartCurve system combined with Genius™ 3D mammography helps with both of these issues. First, the curved compression surface mirrors the shape of a woman’s breast which reduces pinching and allow better distribution of the compression. Secondly, the Genius™ 3D mammography reduces scan time to less than 4 seconds compared to 10 up to 25 seconds needed for other systems. 3D mammography also detects invasive breast cancer better than 2D mammography (20-65% increase in efficency). This means earlier diagnosis and greater varieties of treatment options. Of course, you don’t have to be a cowgirl or cowboy to fight cancer by wearing pink. You can Trash Cancer every time you roll your trash to the curb. Western Waste Services is offering PINK carts to their customers in the Magic Valley. Just call in and ask to exchange your 95 gallon cart for a Power-In-Pink cart. 100% of the $50 exchange fee is donated to NCMC’s Genius 3D Mammography SmartCurve System or St. Luke’s Mobile Mammography Unit. Come join the fight!

General Election
Tuesday, November 5th
In last week’s article on the general election there were a couple of errors. First, Fairfield’s wastewater bond will increase the monthly cost for wastewater service by $12.00 per month (not $5 as reported). Secondly, in the Shoshone city council race, there was a misspelling of Alberta “Bert” Gage’s name. She is the incumbent with three candidates running against her: Raymond Alexander, Sharron Pennington and Jodi Waite. -- -- -TONIGHT (October 30th) at 7:00 p.m. an informational meeting will be held at the Community Center in Shoshone for the Lincoln County Courthouse Bond.
Daylight-Saving Time Ends Sunday, November 3rd
This Sunday (at 2:00 a.m.) daylight-saving time comes to an end and you’ll finally be able to get that extra hour of sleep you’ve been longing for. Of course, come spring, it will be back. For many of us this begs the question... WHY? In the early 1900s it was seen as a way to conserve energy, especially during World War I. It was thought that not waking up in the dark would decrease fuel use for lighting and heating. While that is true for the morning hours, increased activity in the evening off-sets any energy gains. On the negative side, studies suggest that it can take up to three weeks to recover from the disrupted sleep. Researchers have observed spikes in heart attacks, increased numbers of work injuries, more automobile crashes, and higher suicide rates during this time. So, is there anything good about daylightsaving time? Since it ends after Halloween, kids can trick or treat longer, and you end up buying more candy. That’s a good thing... Yes?

Cup of Tee
© A guy pulled up beside me at one of the Nampa, Idaho, off ramps and asked me why I was driving in the fast lane. I was in a semitruck and the guy caught me a little by surprise since I was actually in the 3rd lane from the right instead of the 4th. He then says, “I’m not trying to cause any problems. I was wondering if it was a safety issue.” I proceeded to tell him that the two outside lanes (1 & 2) are totally full of merging cars. Each and every one is trying to squeeze into a 10’ slot. In the proper way of merging, people should use a zipper system... one, then the other. That doesn’t mean 20 cars merge on the freeway expecting everyone to stop for them. Recently, a lady beside me on the left hand to have the 12’ in front of me. All I could see was her pony tail and her car hood. Once again people, a semi-truck at 55 mph takes the length of the football field to stop! I continued to tell the driver with the question that being at least one lane away from the shoulder gives me a few more options in case of stuff like drivers being in a hurry. So Yeah, to have half a car length of space is a safety issue. You will see a lot of trucks in the 3rd lane because starting and stopping fully loaded and going through 5-13 gears every so many feet is hard driving. We truck drivers understand rolling, even if it’s a slow speed. We all anticipate what is going on a mile down the road instead

of at the end of our hoods. Yes, simply speaking we are in lane 3 for safety reasons. A few more things come to mind about tractors, trailers and cars. That lane with double line between two going different directions is a turning lane. It does not mean... pass on it at a high rate of speed. It’s not a passing lane. When a truck stops at a traffic light, the car behind the truck cannot just follow the truck through the intersection if you can’t see the light. So many people follow trucks through the light never knowing if they are green or red. A truck on a hill many times rolls back a little to get their load started. So many cars bumper up to the rear of trucks. If you can’t see the driver’s mirrors, they cannot see you. When a truck puts on a blinker light, they have tried to give enough room to turn or merge. Car windows let us see out all around. Try ending your tunnel vision and use those windows to be aware of what’s happening in both lanes beside you. If a truck is turning right, they may need extra room to get around the corner. When the right blinker light goes on it does not mean pass on the right side. You will be under the truck. Once again, population is exploding. Every service and preparation for such is done with a truck. We all have to have patience in order for all to work out. Trucks are going to have to stay from start to finish and beyond. This is my “Cup of Tee” on the road again. Let’s be safe!
Letter to the Editor
Joleen Toone for Gooding Recreation Board
Joleen Toone has done a wonderful job of running our Recreation District. She is being opposed this year, and I feel that it’s important that we maintain her excellent leadership. Over the years I’ve had the pleasure of working with Joleen in many different capacities and she is professional, detailed, thorough and shows a great ability to manage the financial responsibilities of an institution. Joleen led the building of our outdoor pool which was a six year project that started with no revenue. It’s continued success is directly attributed to Joleen’s attention. The maintenance of a gym and the addition of a second facility would not have been possible without Joleen’s vision and guidance. The daily workings of a Recreation District, the financial expertise, and the ability to work with a vast array of different people, are major qualities of Joleen. We cannot afford to lose her invaluable insight and experience. Please vote to continue the strong leadership Joleen brings to our District. Kent Seifert

I am running as a write-in candidate for Fairfield City Council. As a vested property owner and home owner I care about the future of our City. I want our community to “thrive not just survive” by being active in planning for the future. As a member of the Camas Chamber of Commerce, a Board member of Southern Idaho Tourism, a former County Commissioner, and a business owner I understand there are multiple challenges unique to every situation. I am willing to do the homework, ask the difficult questions and make the decisions that the majority want and makes sense for our City.

Alma Varin

On this special day 72 years ago, she married the love of her life, Bill Varin. Alma was the 14th of 15 children born to Carl and Eva Kerner on July 1, 1927. She was very proud of her German Heritage and started out her life in Gregory, South Dakota. At an early age, the close-knit family moved to North Shoshone where she attended school and graduated from Shoshone High School. Alma met her sweetheart, Bill Varin at the “Chicken House” in Hagerman, Idaho dancing to the Russ Pike 5 Orchestra. They were married October 23, 1947 at the Kerner family homestead in Shoshone, Idaho. From that point on, you never heard one of their names without the other, it was always “Bill and Alma.” The couple opened their arms and lovingly welcomed their three children into the world. Kevan arrived in August 1949, followed by Marilyn in November 1951, and Marlene in April 1953. Bill and Alma farmed and raised livestock with their family. Family was always the top priority, always being Kevan, Marilyn, and Marlene.

She was involved in many community organizations, pinochle card clubs, and the Gooding Country Club. Bill and Alma graciously donated the One Room Thorn Creek School House to the Gooding County Historical Society for the public to enjoy. Alma was very proud to serve as the secretary of Gooding High School for over 20 years. She made lifelong friends with both the staff and students. Every sports activity was attended with full support for her Gooding Senators. After retirement Alma traveled with Bill and their wonderful friends, enjoying camping trips to the beautiful mountains of Idaho, winter trips to Yuma, trips and a cruise to Mexico, camper caravans everywhere, including Alaska and a visit to Hawaii. Alma was always the life of the party. Alma so enjoyed her family and friends. She could never get enough of her loved ones.
