Gun Rights & Responsibilities in Idaho One of the best things you can do for your “Gun Rights” is to get properly trained in how to use a fire arm. For over six years, Houston Shaw has been teaching combat shooting (mostly with U.S. Special Operations), and for the last three years he has been providing civilian classes at his shooting range in Hagerman, Idaho. A graduate from the University of Nevada with a degree in business management, Houston Shaw is a professional shooter and
the owner/lead instructor at the Shaw Shooting School. In March he will be offering “Pistol Course from A to Z” for men, women, and couples. These courses cover everything you need to know to feel comfortable and confident with your firearm. A “Tune-Up” class is available for those who need a refresher course. Shaw Shooting also offers Idaho Enhanced Firearm training for those seeking a concealed carry permit. For more information, call 208-481-0085 or goto shawshooting.com.
Idaho Gun Legislation Currently in Idaho, you must have a permit if you want to carry a concealed weapon (a knife with a blade over 4 inches, a pistol or revolver, or any
other deadly or dangerous weapon) unless you are outside the limits or confines of a city. If the weapon is clearly visible, you may carry it anywhere in Idaho with the exception of courthouses, correctional facility, and public or private elementary/secondary schools. A bill (HS89) has been introduced to Idaho Legislature which would change part of that law eliminating the need for a permit unless it is for state to state reciprocity. The proposed changes do not affect any of the permit restrictions due to criminal convictions, mental illness, drug addiction, being an illegal immigrant, or being under the age of twenty-one. The biggest change is the elimination of exemptions for certain people (including state, county, and city public officials) to obtain a permit.

Stanley Milton Fritzler
Surrounded by family both near and far, Stanley “Stan” Milton Fritzler, 95, passed peacefully from this life on January 29, 2015, just as the sun rose above the horizon. Stan was born to Harry and Hazel Fritzler on April 17, 1919 in Gooding, Idaho. Despite being a child of the Great Depression, the stories he shared of his early years were idyllic: Pheasant hunting with his uncles, hiking in the Snake River Canyon, sheep drives in the Wood River Valley, and camping in the Sawtooth Mountains with his parents. On October 15, 1941, he married Loretta Belle Lopez at St. Edward’s Catholic Church in Twin Falls, Idaho, and the two of them began a journey that took them to California, Ohio, back to California and, ultimately, home to Idaho in 1950 where they settled on the Fritzler farm. Stan held various jobs until 1957, when he began his career with the Idaho Department of Highways, first as a member of a survey crew with the engineering department, then as an appraiser and right-of-way agent until his retirement in 1983. Stan was a man of many talents and interests. Upon his return to Idaho, he began with a coal shed and turned it into the home where he raised his family; however, he was also a skilled woodworker, crafting many items over the years that continue to grace not only his own home, but those of his children, and his spiritual home, St. Jerome’s Catholic Church. He loved rock hunting, and spent

Marion George “Gale” Wood, 96, a resident of Gooding, passed away on Sunday, February 8, 2015 at North Canyon Medical Center in Gooding. A celebration of Gale’s life will be held on Thursday, February 12th, at 3 p.m. at Demaray’s Gooding Chapel. Burial with military honors will follow at the Elmwood Cemetery in Gooding.. Robert “Bob” Dean Wagner, 84, a resident of Gooding, passed away Thursday, February 5, 2015 at his home in Gooding. No public services are planned. Esther A. Hopkins, 80, a resident of Shoshone, passed away Monday, February 9, 2015 at her home in Shoshone. Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. on Friday, February 13th, at the First Baptist Church in Shoshone. Burial will follow at the Shoshone Cemetery.
countless hours finding treasures that from the outside, seemed unremarkable, but under the skill of his fingers and his trusty rock saw, revealed beauty that few could have imagined. He loved to read, and could hold his own in conversations ranging from current local and world events, to farming, history, theology, and especially politics. His true love, however, was anything related to science and technology, and he learned to use an iPad at the age of 94 to keep up with his extended family on Facebook, and to order items from Amazon. He passed his love of the Idaho outdoors on to his children, teaching them the intricacies of fishing, as well as the skill and patience necessary to not only set up a large canvas tent in the pouring rain after dark, but to find the humor in it as well. Many of those camping trips are the stuff of legend, and guaranteed to elicit much laughter when brought up at family gatherings. He was skilled in the kitchen as well, making soups, sauces, breads, and wines that would satisfy even the toughest critic, and made raiding the refrigerator a tasty adventure. The greatest legacy Stan leaves behind is his commitment to family, and his unwavering faith. He always believed that family was the circle, God was the center, and as long as you were still talking, things would be all right. At the end, when Parkinson’s was taking its toll, he never complained, stating simply that “God will never give me more than I can handle.” Stan is survived by his wife of 73 years, Loretta Belle Lopez Fritzler, children Mark (Pam) Fritzler, Baltimore, MD, Christine (Larry) Coonts, Orofino, ID, Kathy (David) Burgess, Jerome, ID, Kurt (Andrea) Fritzler, Portland, OR, Claire (Mark) Annis, Boise, ID, Denise Matthiesen, Meridian, ID, Michele (Ron) Bonneau, Caldwell, ID, 14 grandchildren, and 12 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, Harry and Hazel Fritzler of Jerome, Idaho. A prayer vigil will be held Friday, February 13th, at 7 p.m. at St. Jerome’s Catholic Church. Memorial services will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, February 14, at St. Jerome’s. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his name to: Save the Children, c/o Lysa Ratliff, 2000 L. Street NW, Suite 500, Washington, DC 20036 (please designate for U.S. emergencies), Visions Hospice Care, 1770 Park View Drive, Twin Falls, ID, 83301, or the St. Jerome’s Catholic Church Building Fund, PO Box 169, Jerome, ID 83338.

Robert “Bob” McCarthy
Early on the morning of Monday, February 2, 2015, Robert McCarthy passed on to be with his son Johnny and his parents Myrle and Elizabeth. He was born August 17, 1929 in Murray, Utah. He served in the Korean War in active duty. He married Pat Ozancin on August 10, 1951. Together they had 3 children; Johnny, Kathy and Joe. They moved to Gooding in 1971 to farm, and to raise cattle and horses. These were the sentiments he wanted to express in his obituary: “I have lived a great life and have done most of the things I set out to do. I have asked my family to follow my wishes. I have chosen to be cremated and not have a public funeral or burial. I choose to be remembered for how I lived my life and that those close to me will think of me when enjoying a beautiful summer day, a horse ride in the mountains, a good horse race or just hanging out laughing and enjoying good food.” He was preceded in death by his parents Myrle and Elizabeth McCarthy, his brothers Paul and Glenn McCarthy and his son Johnny McCarthy. He is survived by his wife Pat of 63 years; his daughter Kathy (Kent) Benson; his son Joe McCarthy; grandchildren Chad (Anna) Benson, Jake (Brigette) Benson, Tammy (Robert) Bartlet, Shane (Tiffany) McCarthy, Casey (Chelsey) McCarthy, Kelsey (Ricky) Overfield, Megan (Johnny) Whipple, Morgan and Brandy McCarthy; and great-grandchildren Clay, Ammerisa, Cade, Aniah, Jordan and Haley Benson, Taylor and Savannah Overfield and Trevor and Kiera McCarthy.

For All your Insurance Ne e d s
C ome S ee J ulie B urton at 309 M ain S treet / G ooding Yes, this week I voyaged into Kansas U.S.A. I accompanied a friend to help him do some driving. Since I was going to be in Kansas, I thought it would be a novel idea if I could find the Yellow Brick Road from the 1939 movie, “Wizard of Oz.” As you may remember, in the movie a tornado swept Dorothy Gale and her house away when she was unable to get to the root cellar with her dog Toto. In order to be in proximity of the Yellow Brick Road, I had to cross into Tornado Alley, which is where the most tornados occur in the United States (these are the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska). In the Wizard of Oz book by Frank Baum (1900) the Yellow Brick Road was merely called the road of yellow bricks. In Kansas it is common to find red brick paved streets in many of the cities. The yellow bricks I encountered were of sulphur colored sandstone. Each deposit was located near mini oil wells under agricultural converted prairie land. The original writing of the Wizard of Oz is supposed to take place in Butterfield, Kansas. During my drive through the vast prairie I did not run into that geographical area. It was very obvious to the native Kansas folks. “Hey, mister. You are not from around here, are you?” There are several yellow brick roads throughout the United States. They are in Western North Carolina; Sedan, Kansas; Wamego, Kansas; Aberdeen, South Dakota; Albany, New York; Rossville, Maryland; Montclair, New Jersey; Chicago, Illinois, and even in Sofia, Bulgaria. Many say that the Yellow Brick Road is in Holland, Michigan, where Frank Baum spent his summers, or in Peekskill, New York, where Baum attended the Peekskill Military Academy. Hollywood tells me that the Yellow Brick Road is a short road of yellow bricks with a large mural behind it. With the dust bowl in the Plains States and the wind taking the soil everywhere, I find the Yellow Brick Road could be anywhere in the United States (maybe even Canada). The Yellow Brick Road is much about symbolism such as the Scarecrow (brain is about personal choices), the Tin Man (heart is about love and intuition), and the Cowardly Lion (courage is about fearless unwavering faith in yourself). And, of course, the shoes are the vehicle which allows you to take a journey down the Yellow Brick Road to discover the solutions to life’s trials and tribulations, and being able to return home. You can make a mistake, you can correct it, and you can change your direction through the knowledge gained in the process. To follow the Yellow Brick Road is to follow your own intuition. Many times the process (or road whether brick lined or not) is a basic sense of getting back to yourself with family and friends. Each has a yellow brick road to follow, and right now, I think my yellow brick road is actually to find Toto who made $125/week in 1939. This is my “Cup saying you are not in Kansas anymore Tee.”

Crapo Sets Town Meetings In Southern Idaho
Twin Falls – Idaho Senator Mike Crapo will hold a round of town meetings across southern and southeastern Idaho next week. This next set of town meetings follows a series of 28 town meetings that were held primarily in northern and western Idaho in late 2014. Crapo intends to hold town meetings in all parts of Idaho. The latest meetings follow changes in leadership in the U.S. Senate and President Obama’s recent federal budget proposal calling for more deficit spending opposed by Crapo. Already in the new Congress, Crapo has introduced several bills stemming from concerns raised by Idahoans. Crapo has introduced a bill to remove controls put on states relating to the use of federal dollars for education. He introduced another to resolve gun issues on federal lands and co-sponsored legislation to balance the federal budget and put it on a two-year cycle. Crapo is sponsoring legislation to stop presidents from utilizing national monuments to seize control over public lands without the input of local residents. He is also seeking to roll back a stack of new federal regulations over everything from small business to water rights to Obamacare. Schedule in our area include the following events: Monday, February 16: 10:30 a.m. Twin Falls City Council Chambers (305 3rd Avenue East, Twin Falls) 11:30 a.m. CSI Fine Arts Auditorium (315 Falls Avenue, Twin Falls) 3:30 p.m. Jerome Senior Center (520 North Lincoln Avenue, Jerome)
