NEWS Thanksgiving Proclamation 1777

By the Continental Congress

From 1774 to 1781, the Continental Congress was the governing body by which the American colonial governments coordinated their resistance to British rule during the first two years of the American Revolution. The Congress balanced the interests of the different colonies and also established itself as the official colonial liaison to Great Britain. As the war progressed, the Congress became the effective national government of the country, and, as such, conducted diplomacy on behalf of the new United States. In 1777, a year after the Declaration of Independance and just after the Battle of Saratoga (considered by many the turning point of the Revolutionary War), the Continental Congress issued the following proclamation.

The First National Thanksgiving Proclamation “It is therefore recommended to the legislative or executive powers of these UNITED STATES to set apart Thursday, the eighteenth Day of December next for the SOLEMN THANKSGIVING and PRAISE: That at one time and with one voice, the good people may express grateful feelings of their hearts, and consecrate themselves to the service of their Divine Benefactor; and that, together with their sincere acknowledgments and offerings, they may join the penitent confession of their manifold sins, whereby they had forfeited every favor; and their humble and earnest supplication that it may please GOD through the merits of JESUS CHRIST, mercifully to forgive and blot them out of remembrance; That it may please Him graciously to afford His blessing on the Governments of these States respectively, and prosper the public council of the whole: To inspire our commanders, both by land and sea and all under them, with that wisdom and fortitude which may render them fit instruments, under the Providence of Almighty GOD, to secure for these United States, the greatest of all human blessings, independence and peace: That it may please Him, to prosper the trade and manufactures of the people, and the labor of the husbandmen, that our land may yield its increase: To take schools and seminaries of education, so necessary for cultivating the principles of true liberty, virtue and piety, under His nurturing hand; and to prosper the means of religion, for the promotion and enlargement of that Kingdom, which consisteth “in righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.”

Christmas Tree Lighting at Elmwood Cemetery November 26th at 5:00 p.m. Come hang an ornament on our tree in memory of a loved one. Drop a toy in our Toys for Tots box. Enjoy hot cocoa and caroling around the fire. The tree lights will go on at 6:00 p.m.

‘Sticker Shock’ Campaign To Curb Underage Drinking

A youth-led initiative to change adult attitudes about selling and providing alcohol to minors will launch on Black Friday, November 26th, at liquor stores across the state. This public awareness campaign represents a continuing partnership between the Idaho Office of Drug Policy (ODP), the Idaho State Liquor Division (ISLD), and 19 community prevention organizations to bring attention to the issue of underage drinking during the holiday season—when youth are more likely to get alcohol from adults they already know. “We know that 43 percent of Idaho youth who drink underage usually obtain alcohol by someone giving it to them, including through adults 21 and older who can purchase it legally,” said Marianne King, Director of the Idaho Office of Drug Policy. Students from local community and school-based leadership groups are working with participating ISLD stores to spread “Sticker Shock” waves across Idaho. Their goal: reach adults who might be willing to buy alcohol for— or make alcohol available to— youth under 21. According to Director King, “This important campaign encourages Idaho adults to join us in keeping Idaho kids alcoholfree, not only during the holiday season but year-round.” Student volunteers will place eye-catching stickers on the bags that customers use to carry their purchases from liquor stores. The “Providing alcohol to minors under 21 is against the law.” stickers stand out on the store bags and provide a strong reminder to “Keep Idaho youth alcohol-free.” The Liquor Stores in Idaho appreciate our partnership with the ODP on the sticker shock campaign,” said Jeff Anderson, Director of the Idaho State Liquor Division. “Our job is to responsibly offer spirits to Idahoans. Unfortunately, some think it’s okay to provide alcohol to people under 21. It’s not. Underage drinking doesn’t start with a drink, it starts with an excuse by adults. The excuse goes something like this: ‘we all did it when we were young’. That excuse can land you in jail and worse, it can affect a young person’s life forever.

Camp Rainbow Gold to Welcome First Lease Group at New Camp Idaho’s Sunrise Retreats will move programs to Hidden Paradise Camp in 2022

After a successful debut summer in 2021, Camp Rainbow Gold will welcome Sunrise Retreats as the first lease group to host programs at their camp property Hidden Paradise, in Fairfield, Idaho. “We were thrilled to move Camp Rainbow Gold camps to Hidden Paradise last summer, two full years ahead of schedule. It was a game-changer to get our kids back to camp and start to see the vision for our new home come to life,” said Elizabeth Lizberg, CEO/Executive Director of Camp Rainbow Gold. “Now, we’re excited and ready to offer that opportunity to other organizations.” Idaho organization Sunrise Retreats is the first of those organizations. Sunrise Retreats offers widows 3-day retreats to find healing, rest, connections, understanding, tools, and hope. “Grief is a preciously intimate experience, but something magical happens when we come together in our healing,” said Marni Henderson, Founder and Director of Sunrise Retreats. “With a permanent place to host our events, like Hidden Paradise, we can focus on delivering life-changing experiences for our widowed community. Hidden Paradise will serve the needs of our current retreats and allow us to expand our services to more widowers and widowed parents with their children.” During the pandemic, Camp Rainbow Gold rallied supporters, donors and volunteers at Hidden Paradise and remodeled more than 14 buildings with new roofs, paint, ADA bathrooms, flooring, window coverings, bunk beds and much more. Plus, miles of fencing, a new outdoor eating area, a wheelchair accessible ropes course, bicycle trails, culverts for the creek and a whole lot of repairs. Camp Rainbow Gold welcomed more than 100 children to summer camp in July. “Our camps were smaller and a bit different with the new location and COVID precautions, but large amounts of fun, hope and love were lavished on these kids. There’s nothing better than watching them taking part in archery, horseback riding, bike riding, and boating. Plus, the singing of silly songs, water games, art projects and dances that make Camp so magical,” Lizberg shared. Hidden Paradise is the first accessible and adaptable camp space in Idaho specifically for organizations serving populations with medical, physical, or emotional challenges. Camp Rainbow Gold purchased the property in 2019 with the vision to serve not only children with cancer, but organizations throughout Idaho who also need an accessible space. “We’re grateful to Camp Rainbow Gold for leading the charge, purchasing this property and welcoming organizations like ours to be part of the Hidden Paradise story — serving Idahoans in need of a space for wellness and healing,” Henderson said. About Camp Rainbow Gold Camp Rainbow Gold is an independent nonprofit organization providing emotionally empowering experiences to families who have experienced a pediatric cancer diagnosis. Camp Rainbow Gold offers oncology camps, sibling camps and family retreats, college scholarships and a teen support group. Its programs are sustained by community fundraising, private donations, and volunteer efforts. Camp Rainbow Gold provides services to more than 400 Idaho family members, is supported by more than 300 volunteers from across the nation and has been accredited through the American Camp Association since 2002.

Tifini Stratton

Tifini Stratton, 35, of Twin Falls, Idaho and formerly of Gooding, passed away peacefully on Sunday, November 14, 2021, at her home in Twin Falls. She was born in Twin Falls on February 15, 1986, to Kevin and Christy Stratton. Christy was unsure if she would be blessed with a baby, but then came their miracle, Tifini. Tifini had a heart of gold and loved her family, friends, and her dog Dixie fiercely and unconditionally. She would give her last dollar to anyone in need with no judgement. Tifini enjoyed camping, boating, swimming, kayaking, concerts, and outside activities for the sunshine and a tan. She also liked just cuddling up with a blanket and watching her favorite shows with a lap full of munchies. Tifini grew up in Gooding. She attended Gooding High School, where she was a member of the Madrigals Choir and the annual staff, and she completed a tech internship. During high school, she worked at Zeppes Pizza and enjoyed her time with the Zeppes crew. After graduation, she moved to Twin Falls, where she worked at Dell. Following her time at Dell, she moved back to Gooding to become a certified nursing assistant. She also worked at C3 and Sunrise Express in Twin Falls. Most of all, Tifini loved her last profession as a damn great bartender at The Log Tavern. Tifini was always the life of the party! Her laugh alone could make anyone's bad day turn around. It was contagious and infectious. Oh, my goodness, how we are going to miss her laugh. Making friends was so natural to her, as she always found the very best in people. She had a tremendous passion for music. A huge supporter of local bands and artists, Tifini was a master of promoting their events. At every show, you would find Tifini dancing and singing along. She was loved and trusted by so many. There are no words that can express just how much she will be missed. She is with her mom and dad now, and we know she is happy. Cheers Tifini, until we meet again. Tifini was preceded in death by her parents, Kevin and Christy Stratton; Keith Clark, Margo Stratton, Denise Clark, Ben Leavell, David Stratton, and Rodger Stratton, as well as many dear friends. Tifini is survived by her stepmother, Robin; stepbrother, Wyatt Bryan; and stepsister, Megan Bryan, all of Gooding, ID; grandparents, Trevor and Barb Stratton of Gooding, and Dave and Deloris Gormley, of Tucson, AZ; aunts and uncles, Howard and Marlene Shields, of Boise, ID; Shaun and Rose Stratton, of Chico, CA; Lonny and Charmy Leavell, and Ryan McCrae; cousins, Keith and Ann Byce, Jerek Richardson, Ashley Harrison, Justyn Harrison, and many friends she considered family. A graveside service will be held Saturday, December 4, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. at the Gooding Cemetery in Gooding. A celebration of life will follow at Portuguese Hall in Wendell from 12 to 4 p.m. Potluck and refreshments will be included. Beer and wine will be available for purchase.

Benjamin Jay Leavell

Benjamin Jay Leavell, 77, a resident of Boise, formerly of Gooding, passed away November 10, 2021, in Boise. Ben was born March 28, 1944, in Gooding, Idaho. He spent his early childhood running the hills up Soldier Creek with his dog, Lassie, the collie. Ben graduated from Gooding High School in 1962. He served in the U.S. Army, stationed in Germany, from 1963-66. Besides working for his father, he lived and worked throughout the West, but always came back to Idaho. He loved to fish wherever he was, but especially the rivers and streams of Idaho. Throughout his life, and especially in the last 20 years, Ben served as a friend, support, and mentor to many. His dry, quiet sense of humor made us laugh. A friend once said, “To meet him, is to love him.” Ben is survived by his sister, Delores (Dave) Gormley; brother, Lonnie (Charmy) Leavell; nieces and nephews, friends, and special friend and companion, Suzanne Andersen. He was preceded in death by his parents, Orie and Cletis, and his son, Jay Curtis. Ben did not want any services. His ashes will be put to rest in the Elmwood Cemetery in Gooding, Idaho, at a later date. Arrangements are under the direction of Bowman Funeral Parlor of Garden City. www.bowmanfuneral.com 208-853-3131.

Herbert Harry Brusman

Herbert Harry Brusman was born in Williamsport, Pennsylvania on December 14, 1935 and passed away September 29, 2021 in Hagerman, Idaho, at the age of 85. Herb moved to Idaho a couple of years ago to live out the rest of his days in peace and quiet with his partner/caregiver, Naty. Herb was a Navy veteran, bodybuilder, bodyguard, hunting guide, and Government trapper. Before his health started to fail, he lived a life full of adventure in the outdoors. He chronicled part of this in his book “The Tumultuous Times of a Modern-Day Adventurer”. One of his many accomplishments was developing a unique cowhorn coyote caller he aptly named “Herb’s Howlers” that was used greatly alongside his late son and hunting partner, Chris. It was so effective he received the nickname “Coyotero”. Another lifelong passion was fitness, an article in the Blue Mountain Eagle in Oregon called “Redefining Age” highlights Herb’s anti-aging philosophy by keeping fit. He was also involved in trying to keep public forest land accessible to the elderly and handicapped. He loved to mentor young hunters and trappers when he was in LaGrande, Oregon and could often be found at the “Trapper Shack” with his friend Dallas, telling stories and drinking beer. Herb was a private man and lived life on his terms. He lived life to the fullest and the song by Toby Keith “Don’t Let the Old Man In” reminds us of this. He is survived by his brother, Peter Brusman; daughters, Debbie Hendrickson and Kim Kell; and his partner, Naty Wilson and her family. A celebration of life will be held in Wendell with close friends and family at a future date. Memories and condolences may be shared with the family on Herb’s memorial webpage at www.farnsworthmortuary.com

Senators Denounce U.S. Postal Service’s Banking Expansion Press Release

Idaho’s U.S. Senators Mike Crapo and Jim Risch joined Senator John Boozman (RArkansas) and 16 colleagues in calling a new U.S. Postal Service (USPS) pilot program a threat to mail delivery and a misguided attempt to federalize financial services. In a letter to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, the Senators question the USPS’s authority to implement a banking pilot program that includes check-cashing services. “We are concerned that the pilot program exceeds the Postal Service’s legal authority and fails to comply with relevant regulations and procedural requirements,” the Senators wrote in the letter. The Postal Service launched its postal banking pilot program in September without notifying Congress. It comes on the heels of losses of more than $75 billion from 2007-2019. Last month the USPS announced it will further slow service and increase prices in attempt to fix its own notoriously poor financial footing. “Given that these losses occurred during a period of time in which the Postal Service was exclusively focused on mail delivery, it would be imprudent to shift attention and resources toward an area in which the agency lacks expertise. It is essential that the Postal Service address this revenue shortfall by focusing on fixing inefficiencies with its mail delivery system, not pivoting to financial products and offerings with which the agency has no expertise,” the Senators continued. Co-signers of the letter include Senators Rob Portman (R-Ohio), Pat Toomey (R-Pennsylvania), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Mississippi), John Barrasso (R-Wyoming), Mike Braun (RIndiana), Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas), Kevin Cramer (R-North Dakota), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Steve Daines (R-Montana), Bill Hagerty (R-Tennessee), John Kennedy (R-Louisiana), Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyoming), Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-Kansas), Tim Scott (R-South Carolina), John Thune (R-South Dakota) and Tommy Tuberville (R-Alabama).
