Now that the dust has kinda settled down a bit, Julie and I want to say THANK YOU. Thank you to everyone that helped us over the last 26 years! Yes, 26 years. We don’t know where the time has gone. We had two of our three kids while I was coming to your homes and our youngest is now in her 3rd year of college. So many of you were babies when I started coming to your homes. Some of my most favorite stops of all were at the Fairfield, Carey, and Bliss schools! When I had little kids come up to me and give me hugs, knuckles and call me Butch, I knew I had done something right! Thank you too, to all the teachers and principals for trusting me to just walk in! I always wanted to have fun doing what ever I did and I can’t even start to tell you how much fun I had! Every time I had a contest come up, and I mean EVERY TIME, I won them all. It was not that I was a good salesman and not because I know how to talk my customers into it; NO it was because we were friends. I always said I only had 12 or 13 customers and hundreds of friends! I was so lucky to have gotten to see Alaska two times and Newfoundland one time. Julie and I can’t count how many trips y’all helped us go on over the years and all we can say is THANK YOU! There are also a lot of folks that are no longer with us. I couldn’t even start to name them all. Some of the biggest compliments I was ever given was to be asked by families to be a pallbearer and I was even named as a family member in some obituaries! So with that being said Julie and I want to say THANK YOU again to everyone from Fairfield, Carey, Hailey, Bellevue, Shoshone, Bliss, King Hill, Glenns Ferry and Hammett! Like I’ve said for 26 years, thank you just can’t and won’t cover it, but it’s all we can say!!! We hope to see you all soon! We will always be in Jerome and would ALWAYS LOVE TO SEE YA! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL AND GOD BLESS!!! Butch, Julie and kids

December 9, 2015 The Courier News ~ 888-934-1862 consider, an overpriced education. From the Editor many Scholarships are a great thing for potential college stuServing with all Gentleness & Compassion...
Last week the Courier ran an article about a petition to reduce tuition costs for Idaho college students. While this newspaper fully supports the petition process (people need to be able to vote on such things), it is important to point out the misleading aspect of this effort. The stated goal of this group (stoptuitionhikes.com) is to reduce tuition rates at Idaho’s universities and colleges by 22%. While this seems like a noble goal, this statement is not true. If passed, this initiative would not reduce tuition rates. According to the group’s own statement, the proposal would provide an across-the-board scholarship for all instate, undergraduate students. Meaning, taxpayers would be subsidizing Idaho college students while universities continue to rake in the same amount of money for what
dents. They provide opportunities for students to gain access to education, either by helping them overcome economic hurdles or by rewarding them for exceptional work in a particular subject or activity. An across-the-board scholarship, however, would provide no incentive for students to excel, nor would it give universities and colleges any reason to control costs. In truth, this petition is really about moving towards a tuition-free college system, an idea being promoted by Presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. And, as with any petition, there are pros and cons to this idea. Many of us may support the idea of tuition-free education and it is perfectly reasonable to ask voters to consider that idea. It is not resonable, or honest, to deceive voters into voting for tuition reduction when it is in fact a tax increase.

obituary
Ishmael A. Scott, 89, of Wendell, passed away at his home on December 5, 2015. Ishmael was born in Pocatello, Idaho on August 28, 1926 to Newell and Vira (Hone) Scott, the 4th child of 6. Growing up, he attended schools in Shelley and Firth. Wanting to join his 3 older brothers and serve the country he loved, he joined the Navy (Seabees) during World War II. After an honorary discharge, he attended Ricks College and Idaho State University before becoming employed at Williamson Body and Equipment in Pocatello as a salesman. During this time, he met the love of his life, Elaine Swenson (his Mama Bear). They were married on April 13, 1952. Deciding he needed a change in occupation, his fatherin-law helped him get started in farming. Finding his niche, he raised mainly potatoes starting in Eastern Idaho. Later, Scott & Winmill Farms was incorporated and he and his partner, Vern Winmill, developed new projects up and down the Snake River as far as Ontario, Oregon. One of his favorite experiences was breaking new land for planting potatoes. In addition to farming, Ish raised cattle and ranched at Hill City and Magic Reservoir. He retired from farming in 1986. Being the “life of the party”, Ish loved spending time with his family and friends. He enjoyed playing cards, fishing, boating, traveling (including trips to Alaska, Arizona, Mexico and the Florida Keys) and having a “good old time”

As small children we are taught to share. It is a system whereas we are tied to the family by bonds of survival, generosity, and love. Sharing stories read, music played, and songs sang, opens individuals to growth, intelligence, and harmony in their lives. A family with more than one child starts the sharing process at a very early stage in the children’s lives. It helps keep peace and order at home. Away from home sharing installs respect of other people’s stuff and it may develop temperament in the individual. Sometimes sharing is a selfish thing. When a family member brings home a cold we become selfish and DO NOT want to share. This is the instance where a sister or brother is locked out of their shared bedroom. A sibling wild holler to mom and dad saying “so and so isn’t sharing” when the parents are in another room. In this case one of the kids has gotten into another’s stuff without permission and got caught. The non-sharing yell is a defense cry to keep from getting in trouble and extending blame to the innocent. At many family gatherings experiences are shared at the table or in the living room. They are things that happened ten years earlier. Once again guilt or blame has been shifted to another time zone. Sharing memories helps to know what happened, what is happening, and what will expect to happen. Through the years I have share a “Cup of Tee” with you. In many instances I have heard from others about one of my letters that someone shared with them. Christmas is a season of sharing with one another. Hopefully a cup of tea or a “Cup of Tee” is a shared item. I want to know how you share your “Cup of Tee.” Grab a pen (if you are like me) or hit up your computer or phone, and tell me how you share the “Cup of Tee.” The winning entry (share) will receive $25 to use as you see fit or to share if you wish. You have until December 18th at 5:00 p.m. to mail your entry in to: The Courier NEWS c/o Cup of Tee P.O. Box 339 Fairfield, ID 83327 or News@Highway46.org The winner will be announced in the December 23rd issue of the Courier newspaper. Thanks to each and every one of you for allowing me to share my “Cup of Tee” with you through the years. Looking forward to hearing from you. This is my “Cup of Tee” from the pot ($25).
