Healthcare New Regulations Sandwich Shop in Gooding
Federal regulations of any kind are two-edged swords - a balance of safety and freedom. When we go to a hospital or a clinic, we want to know that the drugs, equipment, and procedures are safe, but how much regulation is too much? What if the federal government claimed the right to regulate the cells in your own body? In Colorado, there is current litigation over whether a medical clinic can use a person’s own stem cells to treat joint pain. The FDA is claiming the right to regulate this “non-surgical” procedure for two reasons: One, since they are being used as a medical treatment, stem cells are classified as a “medical product” and are subject to regulation; Two, interstate commerce. The Constitution grants Congress the power to regulate interstate commerce (trade between states). While states have successfully challenged the Federal government when they have tried to regulate business that takes place wholly within the boundaries of one state, some issues are still contentious. Most of us think that marijuana is regulated as a drug, but in fact, marijuana is regulated primarily because the Controlled Substances Act “regulates the production, distribution, and consumption of commodities for which there is an established, and lucrative, interstate market.” In the Colorado case, the FDA is claiming that the clinic is involved in interstate commerce because some of the continued on page 9.....
The Jackman family has spent the last three years remodeling the inside of the little tan building at 2039 Main Street in Gooding (across from E&W).

Gooding School Receives Generous Donation Gooding School District is pleased to announce the receipt of a generous donation from the Coeur d’Alene Tribe. In a statement from the tribe Chief Allan, Chairman, said, “The Coeur d’ Alene Tribe is proud to support Gooding School District in their efforts of renovating their facilities. We recognize that education holds the key to our future success as a state, a region, and a nation. We have always believed in the power of education; it is a part of our culture, so much so that we have returned 5% of our net gaming revenues every year to the financial support of education. Idaho’s students are central to the continued success of our state, and we applaud the efforts of the Gooding Schools.” Gooding School District received $20,000 to be used for facility repairs and replacement of kitchen equipment. “This donation is truly an unexpected gift that will help us further our current facility renovations throughout the district. We are very thankful for this contribution from the Coeur d’Alene Tribe and are honored they chose to donate to our district,” said Dr. Heather Williams, Gooding School District Superintendent. Representative Wendy Jaquet, D-25, Representative Donna Pence, D-25, and Senator Michelle Stennett, D-25, were instrumental in communicating to Tribal leaders the need for funding for the Gooding School District. Representative Jaquet helped to provide background on the district, its programs, and facilitate discussions between the school district and the Tribe. In response to the donation, Representative Jaquet thanked the Tribe for its generous donation and said, “Gooding School District’s focus on improving health and wellness for the students and staff is to be commended. The district has worked very hard to secure funding and improve their facilities to provide safe and energy efficient systems and the Coeur d’Alene Tribe’s donation could not have come at a better time to help the district complete some of their projects.” Tribal leaders plan to travel to Gooding later this spring for a formal presentation of the gift.

Clarence Leslie “Les” White Clarence Leslie “Les” White, 93, a resident of Gooding, passed away Saturday, February 4, 2012 at Magic Valley Regional Medical Center in Twin Falls. Les was born on February 16, 1918 in Denver, Colorado to Katherine Gillespie and Otto White. He was the eighth of nine children. Some of his earliest memories are of traveling with his father and mother back and forth between the Midwestern states and Idaho and California while his father looked for employment. Les started school in California but was soon headed back to Illinois where his mother became ill and eventually died. After his mother’s death, Les’s father found himself alone trying to raise and support Les and his younger brother. That prompted their moving to Idaho, where the two brothers were placed in the care of Les’s brother Jimmy and his wife Vi. Vi was a school teacher and under her kind care, Les learned his love of reading and his desire to constantly learn. The only Christmas he remembered as a youth was celebrated at Jimmy’s and Vi’s where there was no money for presents, so Christmas was lots of food and good cheer, but someone knitted him a sweater and he said it was the most beautiful sweater he had ever seen. When Les was twelve, he moved to the Camas Prairie where he worked for several different farmers in the area. He attended school in Fairfield and graduated from the 8th grade. Les was going to school and trying to support himself when he learned from his brother Otto that there was employment in California in the airplane factories, so his life journey led him there. When the war came, they would not release him to serve in the military because they needed him in the factory. Les always felt regret that he was not able to serve his country like so many young men his age. When the war had ended he returned to the Camas Prairie where he reentered school but found that too much time had passed and he was too old to fit in and it was too hard to support himself and go to school. He always regretted not graduating from high school and pushed all of the kids he raised to educate themselves. Les worked and started his own business in the following years and employed several people throughout the years. Many of his nephews can recall spending their summers with Les in what he would refer to as their “haycation”, which as the name implies required a lot of bucking hay bales. In 1949, at the age of 31, he married Carolyn Schreiber. They bought a house in Gooding and they had two girls, Leslie and Rosalie. In 1957, they moved from their house in town to the acreage at the edge of town and a couple of years later, another daughter, Frankie was born. In the years to follow he gave up his
DEATH NOTICE Manuel Aspitarte, 87, a resident of Twin Falls, passed away Monday, February 6, 2012 at his home in Twin Falls. At Manuel’s request, no public services will be held. Cremation arrangements are under the direction of Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel.
business and started working in his father-in-law’s beekeeping business. Les learned much about the bee business and much about working for a father-in-law and eventually returned to truck driving. For over ten years he drove truck for Montana Express which was a company owned by a former employee of his. He retired from truck driving to return to bee keeping and he continued working as a beekeeper until he retired when he was in his eighties. There was not a day that went by that he did not work and most days he would work all day and then come home and work on his acreage until dark. Vacation times were often spend camping and that usually meant digging a new road for access to the site or clearing a spot and of course nothing was ever level enough. He was never idle unless he was reading or playing bridge or gin rummy. Les was known for his quick wit and he was always teasing someone. He had many phrases he coined such as “haycation”, and all of his kids remembered “bawlunteering”, which meant a task none of us wanted to do and there were always tears at the thought of it. One such task was removing the dirt out of the crawl space under the house. Someone had to crawl under the house and fill a wash basin with dirt and someone else had to pull it out by a rope tied to the basin and dump it. We ended up bringing out too much dirt and had to return some back under the house. How Les determined what was enough and what was too much was a mystery to the kids doing the excavating. He was slow to anger but his quick words could be crushing and no one wanted to displease him. Les and Carolyn raised three of their own daughters, but many nieces and nephews and grandchildren and friend’s kids and just any kids in need called his house home. There was never a person in need turned away. All of his friends and family are better people because of knowing him and the values he required of those around him. He is the last of his family and is preceded in death by his mother and father, Katherine and Otto; his brother and sisters, Eunice, Jimmy, Cecil, Gene, Dudley, Lois, Katherine and Don; his wife Carolyn; and grandson Teddy. Les has left behind to honor him and cherish his memory his daughters, Leslie (Charlie) Tennant; Rosalie Eberhard, and Frankie (Don) Murray; his grandchildren, Jason, Andy, Kevin, Wade, Odessa, Memori, Jed, Jessie and Stirling. He also is survived by 22 greatgrandchildren and many nieces and nephews and others that were blessed to have this kind and giving man be a part of their lives. Visitation for family and friends will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, February 8, 2012 at Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel. A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, February 9, 2012 at Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel. Burial will follow at the Shoshone Cemetery in Shoshone.

Cup of Tee
On February 7, 1775 Benjamin Franklin while in London, England, wrote a letter to the Public Advisor, a speech known as the “Imaginary Speech”. Basically this letter was a letter of an assumed speech that stuck up for the Americans (Provincials as they were called in England). I think Ben does this to assure the English people that the Colonist were serious and were going to be a peoples of themselves. It’s kind of a warning to let the British know what they were in for. He uses the fact that they themselves rid their overbearing ruler King Charles I when he assumed himself absolute control over the subjects. King Charles I had caused the people’s vote to overthrow and dethrone the King with a death result to the King. Franklin in his quote of a General under the Gallery (trained military) stated that the Americans were unequal to the People of this Country (England) in Devotion to Women and Courage. They were of no religion. In response to this Benjamin assured the British that the American Army was well trained and were courageous. It was the Provincials that saved the British from many a slaughter in the French and Indian War. He pointed out that the Americans fought when the British Regulars retreated. (Not cowards by any means). In actuality the American Army was very unorganized, small in numbers, and not disciplined to military fighting. Most were farmers. He suggested that the Provincials were satisfied that the Ministry (England) was to make Beast of Burdens of them. Their response was that they will not be “Hewers of Wood and Drawers of Water for any Men upon Earth.” This is their conviction. As for treatment of women, Benjamin Franklin tells that the decrease in population in England and Scotland and increasing in population in the Americas denotes that the American men must therefore be devoted to the fairer sex (Even more so than their British brothers). With regards to religion, Ben states that the Provincials (Americans) were Religionists. They were in America because of religious beliefs. It was inherited from their ancestors, not only the same religion but the same Love of Liberty and Spirit to defend it! Valentine’s Day is coming upon us. Are we still in love of liberty and willing to defend it? I believe as a whole we are still. Do we still have the same religious conviction to step above? Maybe we do. Do we still have the conviction to press forward with all our might? That answer is up to you. Should I write a letter of imaginary prose? That is up to me. This is my Cup of Tee! thus written Tee Hurd

2012 Property Tax Reduction Program
...Regulations continued
(Circuit Breaker) Apply between January 1 & April 16
equipment and the procedures used in this particular treatment originated outside Colorado. In addition, some people are “crossing state lines” to have this procedure done. In general, the FDA is not claiming that the procedure of injecting a person’s own stem cells back into their body is unsafe or ineffective. They are only trying to claim the right to regulate that procedure. The FDA is, however, concerned that allowing these types of procedures to continue would “depress the market for out-of-state drugs that are approved by FDA.” Adult stem cells have been proven to be extremely useful in treating all kinds of medical issues, but because of Federal regulations, it is hard to take advantage of those procedures... in the United States. Please Note: These types of treatments use adult stem cells, not embryonic stem cells. Embryonic stem cells have not been proven useful in any significant way.
What is the Property Tax Reduction Program? The Property Tax Reduction (Circuit Breaker) program reduces property taxes* for qualifiedapplicants. The amount of reduction is based on income for the previous calendar year. If you qualify, the property taxes on your home and up to one acre of land may be reduced by as much as $1,320. *Property Tax Reduction benefits will not reduce solid waste, irrigation, or other fees charged by government entities. Who Qualifies? You may qualify for property tax reduction in 2012 if you: 1. Owned and lived in a home or mobile home in Idaho that was your primary residence before April 15, 2012 (You may qualify if you lived in a care facility or nursing home. Contact your county assessor for information.), and 2. Had income of $28,000 or less for 2011, and 3. Met one or more of the following status requirements as of January 1, 2012: • Age 65 or older • Widow(er) • Blind • Fatherless or motherless child under 18 years of age • Former prisoner of war/hostage • Veteran with a 10% or more service-connected disability or receiving a pension from Veterans Affairs for a nonservice-connected disability • Disabled as recognized by the Social Security Administration, Railroad Retirement Board, or Federal Civil Service How to Apply 1. Contact your county assessor for application materials. The office is listed under County Offices in your telephone directory. 2. Complete an application. The assessor’s office can help you. When you file your application, you must provide proof of: income, medical expenses, and the requirement(s) you meet (age 65 or older, blind, VA disability, etc.) 3. File the application with your assessor’s office by April 16. If you don’t have all of your income information, fill out as much of the application as you can and file it by the April 16 deadline. You must apply for your 2012 property tax reduction between January 1 and April 16, 2012. You must apply and qualify each year to receive this benefit. Property tax reductions are not renewed automatically. If your application is approved, your property tax reduction will appear on your December 2012 tax bill. Additional Tax Relief Options The Property Tax Deferral Program offers certain qualified individuals a way to defer property taxes on their home and up to one acre of land. A qualified applicant may qualify separately for this program or use this program along with the Property Tax Reduction Program to provide additional property tax assistance. Deferred taxes and interest must be repaid to the state of Idaho when ownership of the property changes or the property no longer qualifies for the Homeowner’s Exemption.
