Wendell Cowboy on the Road to Recovery Trot For TJ
In early October, Kirk Webb from Wendell, was out chasing cows when his horse stumbled and rolled over on top of him. Kirk was transported to Boise and the initial exam at the hospital held very little hope for his survival due to severe head trama. Then, a miricle happened. Kirk slowly regained consesnes and proved the original prognosis wrong. Today he is at Elk Rehab in Boise learning to walk again, as well as all the physical things most of us take for granted. Besides being a well known ranching family, the Webbs have have been involved in college and professional rodeo for over fifty years starting with Kirk’s father, Tom Webb who passed away last year. Kirk’s college years took him to Rexburg and Bozeman, Montana, where he was
part of the men’s team that won the 1975 National Championship. Since then Kirk has been a regular competitor on the professional currcit with team roping. Kirk’s two sons, Dan and Rob, have continued the family tradition by attending college on rodeo scholarships. Stevia Webb (Kirk’s wife) said the family is emencly gratful for the support they have received from friends throughout the area. Mrs Webb was surprise at how many people from all walks of life who have encouraged her
and her family. So far health insurance has been covering this accident very well. Being members of LifeFlight was also extemely helpful and Mrs Webb was quick to say that everyone should be a member. There is high hope that Kirk will ride again, but recovery will be a long road. In the mean time, the Webb family has much to be thankful for.

Hagerman Takes Second 1AD1 Championship For the second time in three years, the Hagerman Pirates won the 1AD1 Championship. Hagerman came out strong in their game against the Troy Trojans scoring the first two touchdowns. The Trojans, however, didn’t intend to give the Pirates an easy win. They came back to take the lead by the end of the first half. Three pass intersception by the Trojans kept the game tight, but in the end the Pirates took the victory – 42 to 34.

Soldier Mountain Federal Nonprofit Status
On November 18th, Soldier Mountain Ski Area received a letter indicating that the resort is now officially a 501(c)3 Federal nonprofit organization. During the first year the organization ran under Idaho state nonprofit status. Now federal nonprofit status will allow Soldier Mountain Ski Area to stay in operation and begin soliciting grants and other funding for further development of the recreation area. Donations will now be federally tax deductible, besides the established state deduction. To celebrate the ski area’s new status, Soldier Mountain will hold an Open House New Year’s celebration Dec. 31 with a torch light parade, special guests, food and drinks. More information about the event will follow in the next month. This week Soldier Mountain will be offering Black Friday deals on all season passes.

U.S. Forest Service Job Fair
TWINFALLS, Idaho – On December 2nd between 12:30 and 4 PM, Forest Service representatives will be available to discuss job opportunities with the United States Forest Service at four Department of Labor Offices in South Central Idaho. The event will be held simultaneously at Department of Labor offices in Burley, Bellevue, Mountain Home and Twin Falls. “This is an exciting first time event that we hope will provide information on the many job opportunities within the national forests in SW Idaho,” said Becky Nourse, Sawtooth National Forest Supervisor. “A job with the Forest Service provides benefits to the public and the forest that is challenging, stimulating and rewarding so we hope anyone interested in learning more will visit.” Jobs available are predominantly seasonal, mainly during the summer. Opportunities include fire management positions, recreation such as trail building or campground maintenance, biologist technician positions in wildlife and fisheries, and engineering technician jobs. “Those who choose to attend can learn more about job opportunities, how to apply, and even complete an application on site,” said Robin Hollis, an Idaho Department of Labor workforce consultant. The agencies encourage anyone that may have an interest to attend at any time during the afternoon. Seasonal jobs are often a stepping stone to permanent jobs. Further information is available by contacting the Sawtooth National Forest at 208-737-3200 or the Department of Labor at 364-7781.

Letter to the Editor Letter to Fairfield Community
We are taking this opportunity to explain to our community some of the challenges that have been placed upon us. We are a non-profit organization and rely on fundraisers, membership dues, county budget funding and donations from our community to stay in operation. This year county revenue shortfalls have resulted in severe budgetary cuts for the county. Included in these cuts was a vast reduction in the Legion Memorial Fund, which we use to maintain our building, equipment and vehicles. In order to cover expenses it has become necessary for us to increase the price for private parties to rent our building, our tables and chairs. Traditionally, we allow many non-private organizations the use of our building and facilities for little or no cost. It is our intention to continue this practice, as our spaces are highly sought after for a variety of meetings and events, and we feel that it is part of our service to provide these opportunities whenever we can. We will now, however, request that users make a donation to our operating budget in an amount of their discretion to help us continue to have light, heat and upkeep for our facilities in order to keep the American Legion Hall in operation and remain a valuable asset to the County and the City of Fairfield. We regret having to make these changes, but with the severe budget cuts, we are left with no alternative. American Legion Post #19 will continue to be a force in Fairfield. We will continue to help when and where we can. We will continue to help make our community a better place to live, work and play. Thank you for all your support in the past and together we will continue to work for the betterment of our community. Sincerely, James Mingus, Commander Elmer Miller Post#19 American Legion –––––––––––––––– Dear Editor, I just buried another puppy. You know the ones, black and white, cute as a button, living in the road on the east side of the county off baseline. Poor little guy did not stand a chance. No doubt his older siblings were teaching him the finer points of car chasing when he was struck by some unknown driver speeding past at our new 55 mph “unless otherwise posted” speed limit. The rancher who is responsible for the never ending puppy mill that grows up (or not) by the road has a history. Cows, horses and even wheel line sections are like trying to dodge a NASCAR pile up even at a reasonable speed, but 55 mph, really? Anyway, I called the rancher and left a message. Offered to spay and neuter his dogs. No returned call as of yet. Not holding my breath, just keeping the shovel ready.

Arline Paulin
Arline Paulin, 78, of Bliss, Idaho, passed away quietly with family on Sunday morning, Nov. 17, 2013, after a short illness. Arline was born Nov. 6, 1935, to Lee and Sally Brown in Monument, Colorado, where she spent her childhood. Graduating from high school in 1953, she then moved to Boise, Idaho, to live with her Aunt Leona and Uncle Blake West and attended secretarial school. She met, fell in love with, then married Charles Paulin in 1955. Charles and Arline farmed, milked cows, and owned and operated milk hauler routes in Star, where their four children were born: Steve, Scott, Susan and Kevin. In 1970, the couple moved their family to Gooding to dairy farm full time. Moving again in 1974 to a dairy farm in Jerome, Arline worked part time at the Jerome Library and was involved in several ladies clubs. Charles and Arline began square dancing and had a lively time dancing around the Magic Valley. They next moved to Gooding and finally to Bliss, farming, traveling and enjoying life. During this time, she was a feature reporter for the Northside News and Gooding County Leader. Charles suddenly passed in 2006 after being together for 51 years. Arline continued enjoying the company of her many friends and family. Most recently, she loved spending time with her card clubs, ladies luncheons, shopping and sightseeing. She is survived by a brother, Ronald Brown of Lusk, Wyo.; children: son, Steve Paulin of Gooding, Idaho, son, Scott Paulin of Bliss, Idaho, daughter, Susan (Reagon) Hatch of Buhl, Idaho, and Kevin (Cindy) Paulin of Jerome, Idaho; grandchildren: Melissa Paulin of Wendell, Idaho, Jim Paulin of Gooding, Idaho, Mark (Michaela) Hatch of Polson, Mont., Brent Hatch of Twin Falls, Idaho, Craig (Libby) Paulin of Canby, Ore., Brad (Sarah) Paulin of Aloha, Ore., and Erin (Alex) Fultz of Twin Falls, Idaho; great-grandchildren: Victoria, Patience Skye, Afton and Alice; brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law: Alice Walden, Dorothy (Bob) Murphy, Les Paulin, Francis Bishop, Carol (John) Combs, John (Andrea) Paulin, Jim (Gloria) Paulin and Joy Schuck. The family suggests that memorials be given in Arline’s name to the Hospice organization of your choice. Services were held on Friday, November 22, at Rosenau Funeral Home. Burial took place at the Meridian Cemetery in Meridian, Idaho. Many of you have asked how much I charge for obituaries. The answer is “I don’t.” It has always seem distasteful to do so, and besides, many of those who find their way on to these pages are people I have known all my life or individuals I have come to know over the years of doing this newspaper. Therefore, it is a privilege to give these friends of mine one last honor.

I walked into a travel type store the other day and saw everything was “Duck Dynasty.” There were puppets, hats, books, CDs, cupholders, tee shirts, etc. “Duck Dynasty” is a group of Cajun fellows who have a fish fly-tying business. They are bearded hillbilly types in appearance. The fish fly-tying business must have been good in the beginning because with mass merchandising of them, it really has to be good now. I applaud them in a time when we need more businesses. I told the clerk, “This group of guys have really hit the market place.” She agreed. Then I asked her, “What is it that has caused their wave of popularity?” She said, “Myself not included, people think they are funny.” I replied, “I personally don’t think they are funny. I watched one episode where they had a business consultant in to talk about business. They fought among themselves so much, they never gave respect to the consultant.” After that episode I didn’t watch their show anymore. Has humor gone so far that there is no respect for one another. 1980’s TV was just that, when all they had was cussing for humor. As I looked the TV listings of shows that were funny, I had a hard time coming up with a program you could tune in to watch to make you laugh. The reality TV groups almost command the channels unless you are watching the news, which is always depressing. Any good news today? Perhaps the world of social media has taken laughter from everyday life. It is too easy to never see anyone face to face. It is too not to listen to anyone. And to read, everything is abbreviated so bad there is no real thinking process. When families use to get together (even if only for dinner) they could look, listen, and learn from each other. Everyday stress was pushed under the carpet by laughter instead of taking a pill. Humor is healthy. One doesn’t usually laugh by themselves. Human interaction creates laughter. Why did families seem to laugh more when there was less distraction? It may have been something as small as a facial expression. It may have been something out of our daily routine. Such shows as Gomer Pyle, Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies, Gilligan’s Island, Andy Griffith, Mister Ed, I love Lucy, Abbott & Costello, were among some of these shows. Other shows such as Rowan & Martin’s Laugh In, Hee Haw, the Red Skelton Show, Dick Van Dyke Show, and the Carol Burnett Show, were more interactive comedies where they were sharing with live audiences or your own wit and knowledge. The bottom line, comedies of earlier were people with people not people with iPods. Humor doesn’t only help for well being (including our immune system), but also aids well in communication. Laughter many times is the balance of life. Surprises are less serious. Maybe in our hurry with the world of technology we are not taking laughing seriously. Maybe we still need some one on one, one on group sharing time. Who knows, respect may be a hidden reward. My spilt “Cup of Tee” in my lap is still keeping me laughing. Tee Hurd

You’ve got to be tough to read this little book. The cover makes it look like lovely black woman dressed in white finery reading a book has overcome the little problem of slavery to rise to greatness. Here’s a reminder: do not judge a book by its cover. Slavery is the subject, but domination is really at the core of this story of four hapless, helpless slave women. Sadly, domination is in the human psyche, if it were not possible, slavery would not be possible. Slavery as supported on southern verandas while sipping mint juleps was supposed to be about cheap labor. But only domination in all its ugly manifestations, master over slave, man over woman, made it worth fighting over. It makes me hang my head that our only civil war fought over a vile practice that still lingers in nightmares generation after generation. Like Germans who want to pretend Hitler was Norwegian, when faced with our slavery here in America, I’d rather pretend my forefathers were trees.
