completion of the covered skating rink. The general schedule for public skating is weekday afternoons, Saturdays (various times), and Sunday mornings, however, Sarah Benson (executive director of the facility) cautions everyone to check haileyice.org for updated schedules as the Ice House will be hosting numerous hockey games during the next few weekends.
The cost for public skating is $7 for Adults and $5 for Youth. Skate rentals are $5. Also, food is available at an on-site cafe serving breakfast and lunch items. In mid-December (weather permitting) a outdoor natural ice sheet will be set up inside the rodeo arena. Free loaner skates and gear will be available from 2:30 to 6 Monday-Friday, and from 10:30 to 6 on Saturday and Sunday.
Senators Take 2nd in 3A Championship
After a 30 year wait, the Gooding Senators finally reached the State Football Championship game last Friday to face off against the Emmett Huskies. The game ended in a 54 to 22 loss for the Senators, but not without the Huskies giving up what is

being called the “Touchdown Catch of the Year” by Gooding Senior Clancy Cockerham. About half way through the 3rd quarter, with the score at 35 to 7, quarterback Wyatt Williams shot off a short quick pass from the ten yard line to
connect with Cockerham who made a fantastic onehanded TD reception. There is a possibility that Emmett will be moved back up to the 2A division next year. If so, the Senators may have a good shot at the championship in 2016.
Cold and snowy conditions are expected in Southeast Oregon and Southwest Idaho Tuesday night through Thanksgiving Day as a storm comes in from the Gulf of Alaska. The storm center is expected to track south through Oregon, then east into Nevada. With that track... significant amounts of snow are possible in Oregon, and in Owyhee and Twin Falls counties. Only light snow is expected north of the snake basin in Idaho. Colder air will come in Thanksgiving Day through the weekend and any snow that does fall is likely to stay. As for return travel on the weekend, the situation is not yet clear, as some forecast projections have snow re-developing over Idaho and southeast oregon while others have none. For safe travel prepare a winter weather travel kit and keep it in your car. Also travel with appropriate tires or carry chains for unexpected road conditions along your route.

Winton Christopher Mahnke
Winton Christopher Mahnke, 59, a resident of Twin Falls, passed away Saturday, November 14, 2015 at his home in Twin Falls. Winton was born on August 6, 1956, in Lindsay, California, to John and Joyce Mahnke. Our dad was so full of such a beautiful spirit that he could never hardly contain it. He showed it through his sly smile and his lit up eyes. He was always kind and loving and always the light of the family. He was a very witty person and enjoyed making people laugh. As kids, we knew that when dad propped his cowboy boots up on the footstool and looked our way that it was our duty to go over and pull his boots off for him. He would prop them up and look over at us and give us a slight smile, and that is all it took. We also knew that if we were in the kitchen cooking and he was in his chair, that he expected us to bring him a plate of food, because, after all, he was the father and we were his loving kids and that was our job to do. He always appreciated everything we did for him and understood when we could not do more. He was a very prideful man and rarely wanted help but especially when we wanted to give him help he did not want to accept it. He made it known that he could still take care of himself. He stated many times in our life that he was a marine, so there was no need for anyone to be sissy la las and whine about things. He was kind, loving and a very bright light in our family. Unfortunately, he was in a bad car accident years ago that changed his life forever. He had so much full life yet to live and the accident made his life rougher than it should have been, and ours as well, but dad always saw the bright side of it. The nurses were always a chance for dad to flirt a little and even con them into foot rubs. He got foot rubs the same way as he got his boots off. He stuck his feet outside of the

blankets of the hospital bed and looked at the nurse with a sly smile, next thing we know, the nurse is rubbing his feet and dad is laying there peacefully content. No words were ever spoken, and he got just what he wanted. His phone calls were always full of sly comments and laughter. He was a very proud marine and we know that he would have wanted his son to have his flag. Everyone who knows dad knows that his pants must be creased correctly, his boots mush be shined and if he wasn’t wearing a hat when then his hair must be parted and combed nicely. That is exactly what we did for him. We bought him brand new jeans and creased his pants, bought him a nice new warm western shirt, got his favorite cowboy hat, cleaned, and of course shined his boots. Top that off with his belt, which has his name on the back and a W on the buckle, and dad is looking very sharp, but most of all, he is feeling the best he has in years; pain free. He had so much pride in his family. It didn’t matter what family member it was, he had special things to say about each one. He was the peacekeeper. He didn’t like when the family was fighting and he made that known. He loved us kids. He beamed with pride when talking about us or his grandkids. He always remembered to send all of the grandkids a gift of money on every holiday. Life was sure rough for him but that never let him forget a moment. Winton is survived by his parents, John and Joyce Mahnke; 3 brothers, Ray (Linda) Mahnke, Scott (Katy) Mahnke, and Charles (Debra) Mahnke; sister, Barbara Hanaghan; son, Joseph Mahnke, and grandkids Kera and David; daughter, Angela Turnipseed, and granddaughter, Kylie; daughter, Julie (Jered) Hollibaugh and granddaughter, JesMae; son Josh Morton; and nephew and nieces, Brandon Mahnke, John (Cassie) Mahnke, Daniel Mahnke, Christian Hanaghan, Laina Hanaghan, Rebekah Mahnke, Rachel Mahnke and James Clifford. He was preceded in death by his brother, James Mahnke and his very best friend, Gordon Girardin. We are very heart broken at his loss. He calls full of joy and laughter will be missed, but we truly know that he is feeling much better and his pain is gone. We love you, dad. A graveside service with military honors will be held at 11:00 am, on Monday, November 23, 2015 at the Hagerman Cemetery in Hagerman. Arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service. Condolences and memories may be shared with the family at demarayfuneralservice.com.

I guess I’m caught “talking turkey.” English is hard enough to understand without trying to incorporated some other language. Even Benjamin Franklin (one of our forefathers), who had many inventions credited to his name, was blamed for talking turkey. He was believed to be quoted as saying, “the turkey should be our national bird.” The truth of the matter was he thought any bird, a turkey for example, would be a better choice than the eagle. He said the eagle was of bad moral character. It would sit in a tree and steal the pray caught be a fishing hawk because it was too lazy to hunt for itself. The Navajo were probably the first native Americans to domesticate turkeys. It was losing battle to keep the wild turkeys from devouring their crops. Tables were turned on the turkeys when they were fenced, fed, and fattened. This provided more meat, and the feathers were used as ornamental decorations for the Navajo. Big Bird, one of the beginning stars for Sesame Street, has a costume made of real turkey feathers. The company, American Plume and Fancy Feather, selected white turkey feathers, dyed them yellow, and attached them to Big Birds costume. Turkey feathers are, in general, too stiff for pillow stuffing and are usually turned into compost. Turkeys can fly, but are very fast runners. Try to outrun one; you’ll come in second place. The “Turkey Trot” was a fast paced dance in the early 1900’s. The dance was four sideways hopping steps on one foot, then four back on the other foot. The “Trot” was probably named for the procedure of trying to catch a turkey when one was needed as a meal. Kings, knights, and knaves, didn’t dine on turkeys as shown in the movies. They dined on peacock or swan. The turkey, native to America, didn’t make it across the Atlantic until the mid 16th century. To label something as a turkey (meaning something that was inferior or a failure) dates back to the 1920’s. In vaudeville, an act that failed to sell tickets or one lame enough to be booed off the stage, was labeled a turkey (presumably due to the bird’s reputation for stupidity). For the past 50 years, many home cooks have been under the impression than Butterball Turkeys are turkeys with butter injected into them. The real truth is that the Butterball is a specific breed of turkey. They all have white feathers and extra broad breasts - oops, good marketing. Hopefully the gobble, gobble you hear will be the sound of turkey being eaten at Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any other meal. This is my “Cup of Tee” talking turkey.

Senators Support PILT Program
Washington, D.C.– U.S. Senators Mike Crapo (R-ID) and Michael Bennet (D-CO) today led a bipartisan coalition urging Senate leaders to fully fund the Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) program in any end-of-year legislation. Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) provide federal payments to nearly 1,900 local governments across 49 states to help offset losses in property taxes because of nontaxable federal land within state boundaries. PILT payments are critical to rural counties across the country and are used to fund services such as police, fire protection, and emergency response. “PILT funding is an important resource for many counties in Idaho and across our nation and is not exclusive to rural or western communities,” said Crapo. “The strong showing of bipartisan senators on this letter is evidence that PILT payments are critical to communities nationwide. I look forward to working with all my colleagues to restore funding to this important program in a fiscallyresponsible manner.” “Counties throughout Colorado, particularly those with vast expanses of public lands, consider PILT an essential part of their budgets,” Bennet said. “This funding helps pay for road maintenance, emergency services, and law enforcement. Full funding for PILT will ensure these counties have the resources they need to provide these crucial services to Coloradans.” “Without full funding for the PILT program before the end of the year, counties across the nation will be unable to provide essential services such as education, law enforcement, search and rescue, road maintenance and public health to residents and millions of federal lands visitors alike,” the lawmakers wrote to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Minority Leader Harry Reid. “However, as the end of the year approaches, enacting full-funding for PILT in FY 2016 is essential in order to provide counties with the certainty they need to plan their own budgets and continue providing essential county services.” The lawmakers added, “Moving forward, we hope Congress can work together to enact a fiscally responsible longterm sustainable solution to fully fund this important program and eliminate the ongoing funding uncertainty PILT counties face.”
