A Season of Miracles

In 175 B.C. a greek King - Antiochus IV - began his rule over Syria. Like many kings before him, he was not satisfied with what he had and began a conquest against Egypt in 168 B.C. The effort to take over Egypt was nearly successful but intervention by a Roman ambassador stopped the campaign by drawing a "line in the sand" indicating Rome would declare war against Antiochus if he did not withdraw.

Meanwhile, back in Syria (which included the area of Israel) Antiochus had instituted a series of rules intended to outlaw Judaism. Possessing any Jewish book was punishable by death; Circumcision was prohibited; mothers who did circumcise their children were to be crucified with their children hanging around their necks; and Jews were ordered to sacrifice to pagan gods and eat pig flesh. On top of this, the Jewish temple was desecrated with prostitution, an altar to the Greek god Zeus, and pigs were sacrificed on the Jewish altar. Under Antiochus IV, 80,000 Jews were killed and an equal number were sold as slaves. In 167-166 B.C. the Jews revolted. Led by Judas Maccabeus, the Jews won a series of victories over the Syrian forces and vanquished Antiochus. In 165 B.C., the Jews cleaned and restored the temple, and established a new holy day call the Feast of Dedication - also known as Hanukkah or Chanukah (held on Monday, December 19th of this year).

Along with the miracle of defeating Antiochus, Hanukkah is also a remembrance of re-lighting the temple's seven-branched candlestick. As the story goes, only one small container of unpolluted oil was available - enough oil for one day - but by a miracle it lasted for eight days.

There is only one direct reference to the Feast of Dedication in the Bible (John 10:22), but there are multiple references to the events that took place during that time. It is also interesting to note that another name for this holy day is the Festival of Lights. While this relates to the Menorah (a multi-branched candlestick), it certainly applies to the Christmas season as well, with its abundance of lights.

While the birth of Christ Jesus very likely took place several month earlier, Christmas (or Christ Mass) is the day set aside to celebrate the miracle of God coming to earth as a man. As a man, He lived with us and faced all the challenges we humans face on a daily basis, including death. But... as God, He could do the one thing we can not doHe rose from the grave, and in doing so, He gave us the most important gift anyone can receive... eternal life with Him.

Idaho Ski Areas Open During the Holidays

by Tony Harrison

Skiers and snowboarders throughout Idaho have much to celebrate this holiday season, with all 19 Gem State ski areas either already open or opening the day after Christmas.

Three Southern Idaho ski areas: Magic Mountain Ski Resort near Hansen, Pomerelle Mountain Resort near Albion, and Soldier Mountain near Fairfield are open for the season. Sun Valley Resort in Central Idaho has been open since Thanksgiving, and the region's other ski areas - Lost Trail Ski Area on the Idaho-Montana border near Conner, Mont., and Rotarun Ski Area in Hailey - opened last week.

Three ski areas in Eastern Idaho: Kelly Canyon Ski Resort in Ririe, Grand Targhee Resort in Alta, Wyo., and Pebble Creek Ski Area near Inkom are open for the season. Kelly Canyon is offering the first 25 guests who dress from head to toe as Santa free lift tickets on Christmas Eve, December 24.

The four ski areas in Southwest Idaho: Bogus Basin, Brundage Mountain, the Little Ski Hill in McCall, and Tamarack Resort are open for the season. Bogus Basin celebrated its 80th birthday on December 20th.

All three ski areas in North Idaho: Lookout Pass, Schweitzer, and Silver Mountain Resort are fully open for the season. In fact, Lookout Pass just opened its new Eagle Peak expansion that nearly doubles its terrain and boosts its vertical to 1,650 ft.

One North Central Idaho ski area: Snowhaven Ski & Tubing Area in Grangeville, has already opened for the season and the remaining two will begin operations during the holidays. Both Bald Mountain near Pierce and Cottonwood Butte Ski Area near Cottonwood are slated to open December 26th.

Most Idaho ski areas are open daily for the holidays through Jan. 2. However, not all ski areas are open Christmas Day and some are closing early Christmas Eve, so make sure to check their websites for more details and operating hours.

STOCKING STUFFER IDEA: The Idaho Peak Season Passport -- which lets 5th graders ski or snowboard three days for free at each of 17 ski areas throughout the state and offers 6th graders two days free at those mountains -- is a great, lastminute holiday stocking stuffer.

The Mysterious Man

It was the morning of September 18th in 2012. Fred and his friends were walking to school. Fred looked across from him and saw a two story older house that was never there. Fred asked his friends, "Was that house ever there?''

His friends said, "Are you crazy, there is no house!'' Fred told them to look closer and closer then when they all blinked they saw the house. They thought that it was normal and they just never saw that house before.

They got to the school and no one was there. One of his friends pulled out his phone. It said that it was Monday, Fred knew that something was wrong. If it was a Monday all the teachers would be here. They realized they were the only people on earth.

"What did you say?" one friend asked. "When you look at the house it's a trap. Then someone or something takes us here. A place the same as the real one but no one is here."

They tried the doors and they were open. The boys went inside to the cafetiera. They all looked around to find a clue to escape. Fred looked at the food court. He saw someone, he looked closer and saw that it was the mysterious man watching them. Fred told them all to run, so they went running out the school screaming.

Fred told them, "It's better to go to his house because it's closer to the school." They all ran to Fred's house. WHAM!!!! They slammed the door.

"That was a close call." Fred exclaimed. He looks down the hallway. He saw the mysterious man standing at the end of the hall. One of his friends was tired of this, so he charged at him. The mysterious man didn't drop a sparkle of sweat. When he charged, the man hit him with his palm and vanished the mysterious man from existence. Everyone was shocked by his power. Fred wasn't scared or shocked or anything, he was mad.

Fred said something that shocked everyone, he said " lets hunt some mysterious man.''

Mrs. Scott

I interviewed Mrs. Scott because I wanted to know more about her. She is the middle school principal. She really likes being a principal. Why does she want to be Principal? She wants to make a difference! Her favorite part of being a principal is making a difference in the school. Her favorite hobby is reading. I asked what is your least favorite thing about being Principal? It is when people make bad decisions. Mrs. Scott's favorite animals are a cheetah and an owl. Lastly, for fun she told me that she wants to visit Europe someday soon.

Tyrannosaurus

Did you know that the T. Rex was a theropod Dinosaur? A theropod is a dinosaur that had hollow bones, three toes and claws. The T. Rex was about 40 feet tall. Their teeth were big, scarry, and sharp. The T. Rex had 60 8 inch teeth. They lived in North America and Asia. There are fossils that prove it. Is it true that they lived in North America, our home? The T. Rex lived 60 million years ago. That was a long time ago! Their arms were as big as half of the whiteboard in our classroom. Their legs were powerful, strong, and used for stomping. They used their tail to swing it around as a weapon. The T.Rex is my favorite dinosaur because it was so deadly. Humans would not have survived if we had lived alongside the dinosaurs. It's a good thing we can only see them in the museum.

Shoshone's Larrin Sant is Retiring after 40 Years

On December 17th, the Golden Years Senior Center hosted a retirement party for Larrin Sant.

Larrin completed the Auto Body Collision Repair Course through CSI in 1982. Initially he wanted to learn the trade so he could refinish and paint his own car. Upon completion of the CSI course, he began doing collision repair at the Valley Co-op in Shoshone. After 2 years, he purchased the building located at 116 S Birch, which became the home of Larrin Sant Autobody for the next 38 years.

It is one of his greatest achievements that he has been able to provide this service, and earn the trust of the residents of Lincoln County and the surrounding areas. He made a promise 38 years ago, that he would ensure this service will continue to be provided to the community, and he is working to ensure that happens.

Larrin other life adventure began in 2000 when he joining the Shoshone City and Rural Fire Department. He took a first responder course in 2001, to be able to assist the local ambulance service. He loved being on the fire department from making entry on structure fires, to extricating patients from car accidents, and yes he even enjoyed the brush fires! In 2004, he went on to take an EMT basic class and became a certified EMT.

In 2014, the County Commissioners approached Larrin to become the Director of LCEMS. During his time as the Director, an ambulance was purchased giving the citizens of Lincoln County 3 fully stocked ambulances. With the help of newly certified EMT's in Richfield, one of the ambulances was placed in Richfield to bring medical personnel closer to the residents in that part of the county. Larrin also train personnel to meet Idaho State EMS standards.

"Thank you Lincoln County Citizens for allowing us to take care of you - your cars and your emergencies." Larrin and his wife Beth retired from the county EMS in 2017.

Oh, and in case you are wondering, Larrin has yet to refinish and paint his own car. Maybe in retirement, he will find the time to do that.

The City of Richfield would like to thank everyone who attended the Tree Lighting event On December 3rd. It was an extremely cold evening, but, all endured. We would like to thank the Richfield City/Rural Fire Dept. for setting up the hot chocolate venues as well as the Richfield Riding Club for the use of their sound system. Also, we would like to thank Crystal Naylor, Janet Marquez and JoAnne Brenan for supplying some entertainment by the youth groups from the Youth Center and the local churches. We would like to thank the Richfield High School Cheerleaders for the "countdown to tree lighting" as well as putting together the glow sticks that where provided. Please have a safe and happy holiday season.

Hagerman Park Film Awarded First Place

“A Window Into the Past “ Wins Prestigious NAI Interpretive Media Award

Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument’s park film “A Window Into the Past” won first place in the video category of the 2022 National Association for Interpretation (NAI) Interpretive Media Awards. The award was announced on December 15 during an online awards ceremony hosted by NAI, a nonprofit association for professionals involved in the interpretation of natural and cultural heritage resources in parks, historical sites, museums, nature centers, zoos, and aquariums.

The park film is a collaborative effort between Hagerman Fossil Beds, Orange Frame Productions of Richmond, VA, and Harpers Ferry Center for Media Services, the National Park Service’s nationwide hub for development of films, exhibits, publications, and other interpretive media. The film was completed in January 2021 and can be viewed online at https://www.nps.gov/hafo/ learn/photosmultimedia/index.htm. It will be shown regularly when the permanent exhibits are completed at Thousand Springs Visitor Center in Hagerman, Idaho.

“A Window Into the Past” provides a virtual visit to the rich fossil beds found at Hagerman and provides behind-the-scenes footage of fieldwork, fossil preparation, and the park’s museum collection and laboratory. Filmed in 4K ultra high definition, the film features stunning aerial footage of the monument, rarely seen historical images, an original music score, and 3D animation that helps explain how fossils are collected and preserved.

“This visually striking film does an amazing job of explaining the scientific research that began here in the 1930s by the Smithsonian Institution and the ongoing scientific research that continues today,” said Sandra Gladish, Director of Interpretation and Education at Hagerman Fossil Beds. “The film explains how we obtain knowledge from Hagerman Fossil Beds to help us better understand and protect Idaho’s ancient history.”

Hagerman Fossil Beds is one of the few federally managed fossil sites specifically set aside for scientific research. The only way visitors can view the fossil beds is from a distant overlook, and the best place to see fossils, besides the visitor center, is by watching “A Window Into the Past.” The Thousand Springs Visitor Center is located at 17970 U.S. Hwy 30 in Hagerman, ID 83332. Please check the park's website www.nps.gov/hafo for current visitor center hours.

Harold Linn Sauer

Harold Linn Sauer passed peacefully away, in the arms of the one he loved, at home on November 27, 2022 due to complications of COPD. Harold was born January 20, 1948 in Wendell, Idaho to parents, Rueben and Ella Sauer. He had five brothers and one sister.

Harold was raised on the family farm northeast of Jerome, which is where he got his hard work ethic. He always said, “If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right.” He attended grade school at Pleasant Plains, Jerome Jr. High School, and Jerome High School.

Harold was drafted into the United States Army after high school graduation and served his basic training at Fort Ord, California. He proudly served as an RTO man in the 4th Infantry in Vietnam. He earned his Vietnam Service Medal with two Bronze Stars, his National Defense Service Medal, his Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal, his Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry with Palm Leaf, his Army Commendation Medal, his Sharpshooter (rifle) Badge, and his Combat Infantry Badge. Harold was honorably discharged in 1970.

After his service, Harold moved back home to Jerome where he married Susan Brown and had two sons, Chris and Travis. They were later divorced. He later had a son, John, a daughter, Bridget, and a stepson, Jessy, with Melody Lujan. They later separated. Harold was always there for his children and loved them dearly. They were his world. He would often take them camping, fishing, on desert treks, and all the other activities that he loved.

Harold loved to garden and tinker in his yard. He grew the most amazing flowers and vegetables. He also raised rabbits, chickens, goats, pheasants, and one pigeon named Beatrice. He loved his cats dearly. Harold loved hunting, fishing, camping, and taking long walks in the desert. He was a big fan of Boise State football, as well as the NFL.

Harold later moved to Hagerman, Idaho with the love of his life, Carol Petty. He lived out the rest of his life there making many memories not only for himself but for the ones who loved him as well.

Harold worked many jobs, including forklift driver, heavy equipment operator, and construction. He worked at Moore’s Business Forms for over 10 years, making lifetime friends along the way.

Harold was preceded in death by his parents; his brothers, Jerry, Tom, and Bryce; and his sister Cheryl Dee, who died in infancy. He is survived by his sons, Chris (Suzi) Sauer, Travis Sauer, and John (Kenzie) Sauer; his daughter, Bridget (Ulises) Meneses; his brothers, Sam (Helen) Sauer and Tim Sauer; his honorary son, Shane Surber; his stepson, Jessy; 11 grandchildren and great-grandchildren; numerous nephews and nieces; his loved and cherished life partner, Carol; his cat, Smokey; and many friends whom he considered to be like family. He will be truly missed by all who knew him.

Funeral services were held on Friday, December 2, 2022, at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, 1301 North Davis Street, Jerome.

Memories and condolences may be shared with the family on Harold’s memorial webpage at www.farnsworthmortuary.com
