Mushers Take Second at State A Tale of Two Thanksgivings by E.D. Rea
The Camas Mushers ended their best season in over 40 years with a second place finish against the Kendrick Tigers. The Tigers took their third consecutive 1AD2 Football Championship with a 68-0 win. Kendrick took a 26 point lead in the first quarter, then ended the first half with 46 points. In the 3rd quarter, Tigers only made 14 points and just 8 points in the final quarter to end the game four points short of the state record for a title game. While the Mushers will lose several seniors, the remaining players will have the opportunity to continue improving their football team without the possibility of facing Kendrick which will be moving up a classification level next fall.
Lane Closures this Week on the Perrine Bridge
For those of you planning a bit of Black Friday shopping, be prepared for alternating lane closures on the Perrine Bridge as crews continue making repairs. This week workers will apply a sealant to both sidewalks on the bridge to protect them from weathering. The closures will be staggered so only one lane or one sidewalk will be closed at a time. Lanes will be closed so that the contractor can access the sidewalks and will be open at night when workers are not present. Wednesday through Friday (Nov. 15-17) the sidewalk on the west side of the bridge will close for repairs. The adjacent southbound lane will be closed. Friday through Sunday (Nov. 17-19) the sidewalk on the east side of the bridge will close for repairs. The adjacent northbound lane will be closed. Maintenance will last through spring of 2024 and includes repairs to the sidewalks, the railing and cracks to extend the lifespan of the bridge. Some of the steel supports will also be painted for protection from weathering. Activities are dependent on weather conditions. Travelers should stay up to date on impacts by visiting 511.idaho.gov or downloading the app.
Jonathan slowly sat up and quietly got out of bed, making sure to turn off the alarm clock he never needed to get up at 6:00 in the morning. In the kitchen, the automatic coffee maker was nearly done brewing his first cup of the day. Four eggs were put in a small pot of cold water and placed on the stove. Two pieces of bread went into the toaster. He rinsed out a well stained coffee cup, added a heaping spoon of sugar, a splash of milk, and filled it with black liquid. The toast popped up just as the eggs started to boil. A bit of margarine melted into the warm bread and coffee washed it down his throat, bite by bite. By then the eggs were done. Two eggs were cooled with tap water, peeled, and popped whole into his mouth. The other eggs went into the refrigerator. Finally, Jonathan put on his dark blue uniform and walked out the front door of his small apartment at exactly 6:30 a.m. Becca rolled over and slammed her hand against the alarm clock that was flashing 9:30 a.m. Her head was still fuzzy from the late night party at the art gallery, and she wasn't exactly sure how she got home. For a moment she fought to remember why the alarm was on, let alone so early. Oh... the rally downtown at the courthouse for... whatever. She and her friends were always looking for something to protest, even if they didn't know what it was about. As her legs swung out of bed, she shouted "Lidia." When no one answered, she shouted again and walked out to main room of her highrise apartment. The view outside the windows was obscured by heavy fog, but what caught her eye was the large string of gold, red, and green leaves across the top of the balcony. In the center of the gaudy display was a large plastic pumpkin along with other fake vegetables and fruits. It was Thanksgiving, which meant that Lidia had the day off. Becca would have to walk to Starbucks for breakfast. It was well past 10:30 before she walked out the front door. Jonathan should have had the day off, but the police chef asked for extra help at the scheduled Thanksgiving Day marathon. Several social media posts indicated a rally was being organized to protest the mistreatment of turkeys. They all agreed it was a silly protest but the chef wasn't taking any chances. A "peaceful" protest earlier in the month... continued on page 6...

The Idaho State Historical Society CEG grant program recently awarded a grant in the ammount of $747 to the Gooding County Historical Society. These funds were used to purchase preservation materials for improving the Museum’s collections management. This includes archival and storage supplies to properly conserve its map collection, historical newspapers and other documents and materials. Additionally, the museum installed a dehumidifier in the exhibit area to maintain proper humidity for artifacts. Electronic data storage hardware will be used to convert 3.5” floppy disks, CDs and DVDs, to digital format and stored on external hard drives purchased with this grant. Thanks to these upgrades, museum staff and public can access much more information for conducting research for the public. The Idaho State Historical Society is a trusted guide through the state’s history and how it has shaped every aspect of our lives, our land, our communities, our government, and our people. The Community Grant program’s purpose is to aid cultural and historical organizations in their efforts and projects of preserving, interpreting, and protecting the history and culture of Idaho.

Cup of Tee
© When I was younger,
there was no such thing as a "Dad Joke." When I heard the phrase I was an adult. In fact, I was an older adult. The term "Dad Joke" surfaced around 19851990. No one knows exactly how the term came about. One theory is that more dads were involved with their children more because more moms were going into professional fields of work during the late eighties and early ninetys. There is a point in life where dads are heros in a child's life. The time may be short in terms of years, but memories last a long time. Dads are humorous. That is one way they deal with everyday stress, by putting some fun in it. A child comes to a dad to tell them a joke. The dad will listen and make the face of true attention. Then the child will tell the same joke again just to get dad's reaction. This happens over and over. Moms sometimes get tired of the repetition. Dads carry on because it's the one on one that they enjoy. Dads sometimes tell corny jokes just to get the kid's facial reactions. Many times the jokes are simple. It is a way that helps the youngster remember their punch lines. It makes the youngster feel important. Many jokes are puns which indicates there is more than one side to things in life. -- -- -I have two dogs named Rolex and Timex. They are both watch dogs.

when it's raining in Sweden? I drove my Subaru Outback into the river. Now it's a Scuba-ru. Word about town is that NASA is about ready to launch a new mission to apologize to Aliens for Earth polluting space. It's called "Apollo-G." I hear my children have been on ebay all day. If they are still there tomorrow, I'll lower the price. A dad comes home from work and his wife says the baby has been crying for hours. "Can you take over?" The dad cried for hours. I saw a book at the bookstore entitled "How to Solve 50% of Your Problems." So, I bought two. The walk to the bar is 5 minutes but the walk home is 30 minutes. The difference is staggering. My friend asked my what the ninth letter of alphabet was. It was a complete guess but I was right. Barber: "I see you are back in for a haircut." Customer: "Actually, I'm in for all of them to be cut." Did you hear about the human cannonball? He didn't show up for work because he knew he would be fired.

...Two Thanksgivings continued
...caused over $100k in damage. Jonathan and three other officers parked four large police vans on either side of the intersection of Main Street and Center Avenue. The open area in front of the City Library was a favorite place for protesters, and the news crews covering the orchestrated chaos. Becca showed up at the City Library just after 12 o'clock. A quick stop at the ATM across the street had showed her account still short several thousand dollars. Daddy was clearly holding back her bimonthly deposit in an effort to make her come home for Thanksgiving dinner. She had no intention of subjecting herself to endless questions about going back to school or getting a job. Someone handed her a sign as she walked over to join a group of friends huddled around a tall propane heater. A quick look a her phone said it would be another half hour before things started. She should have had another espresso. For the most part, Jonathan wasn't concerned about the white girls gathered around the portable heaters. Most of them would run away at the first sign of real trouble. The ones to watch for were the punks with masks, but they wouldn't show up until the last moment before the runners came by the library plaza. If they were lucky, surveillance cameras might catch some of them putting their masks on. Becca decided her sign "Turkeys are People Too!" was too stupid to carry around and went looking for something better. The next thing she remembered was laying on the concrete with a sharp pain in her right shoulder. She tried to get up but something or someone was holding her down. Jonathan ran through the panicked crowd towards the location of the explosion - one of the propane heaters. A quick assessment told him there were at least a half dozen dead and more than a dozen injured. With two more heaters still standing in the plaza, his first priority was to protect those who couldn't run. As he leaned over to check a young woman knocked over by the first blast, a second heater exploded. Becca screamed at the policeman to let her up. "I haven't done anything. Let me go." A moment later, she felt a sudden intense vibration like being at a firework show. When the officer finally let her sit up, she looked up at his dark face and realized something was wrong. His lips were moving but there was no sound. The right side of the girl's clothing was ripped, probably by shrapnel, but aside from bruising she was okay. Jonathan tried to ask her if she had any other injuries, but she just stare blankly at his face. For a moment he thought, "Another white girl pretending she wasn't afraid of black people." Then, with tears running down her face she whispered, "I can't hear you." The girl felt like a small child as he put his large arms around her. He held her until the EMTs took her away. Jonathan was greeted by the smell of roast chicken as he walked through the front door of the apartment. His wife had taken the day off from work to prepare Thanksgiving dinner. He put his hands around her waist and looked over her shoulders at the sweet potato pie sitting on the counter. Laying his cheek on the top of her head, he sighed and let his body relax. She didn't ask any questions about his day. As he thanked the Lord for His blessing and the wonderful meal, he said a silent prayer for the young girl. Becca got exactly what she wanted... there were no questions about going back to school or getting a job. The long wooden table was covered with Thanksgiving decorations, along with fresh oyster casserole, candied yams, brussel sprouts, a small bowl of green beans for her younger brother, piles of mashed potatoes, and what looked like a twenty pound turkey. Her father might have said grace, but she heard nothing.

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CAUCUS MARCH 2, 2024 In order to participate in the 2024 Republican Presidential Caucus, you must be registered to vote and aifiliated with the Republican Party by DECEMBER 31, 2023.
There has been much confusion over the last few days after the Secretary of State released information about enforcing voter registration and party affiliation deadlines. To be clear, the Secretary of State's letter is in regards to voter registration and party affiliation deadlines for the MAY 21, 2024, legislative primary election, which is run by the state. It is NOT applicable to the voter registration and affiliation deadline for participation in the MARCH 2 Republican Presidential Caucus, which is run by the Idaho Republican Party. The deadline to register to vote and affiliate Republican in order to participate in the March 2, 2024 Idaho Republican Presidential Nominating Caucus is December 31, 2023. Please make a note that December 31 falls on a Sunday, so Republican voters that want to participate in the Presidential Nominating Caucus should plan accordingly to ensure they are registered by the deadline. We look forward to a successful Republican Presidential Caucus on March 2, 2024 and hope to see you there! To stay up to date with caucus information, please visit www.IdahoRepublicanCaucus.com.
