“Love What’s Real”
Dietrich Wins District... Barely!
Teen Dating Violence Awareness & Prevention Month
Last week’s 1AD2 Ladies Basketball Championship game between Richfield (16-6) and Dietrich (21-0) was nail biter. The first two quarters ended with the Blue Devil Girls in the lead (15 to 14), but the Richfield Tiger Ladies move ahead in the third quarter - 25 to 23. In the last quarter of the game, Dietrich held Richfield to just 5 points, but only made 7 points, ending the fourth quarter in a tie 30 points each - and forcing them into overtime. While neither team let up the pressure against the other, the Dietrich Girls managed to come out on top with a final score of 36 to 34. The Richfield Girls went on to an easy win (56 to 39) over Meadows Valley in the play-in game held in Glenns Ferry. This gave the Richfield Tiger Ladies their ninth straight trip to the State Tournament. The 1AD2 State Tournament will be held this weekend in Nampa (Nampa High School). On Thursday, February 16th, Richfield will play Mackay at 6:15 p.m. on Thursday and Dietrich will play Clark Fork at 8:00 p.m. If they both win their first game, they will play each other on Friday at 3:00 p.m. The Championship game will be Saturday morning at 9:30 a.m. at the Idaho Center. --------------------Last week, the Hagerman Girls (18-7) won a hard play-in game against Glenns Ferry (49 to 42) in overtime to take a spot in the 1AD1 State Tournament. They will face off against Notus this Thursday at 8:00 p.m. at Columbia High School (Nampa). Hagerman may play Glenns Ferry again during the tournament, but if they do well, the championship game for that division will be Saturday at 11:30 a.m. at the Idaho Center.
Hailey, Idaho - “Studies show that one in five teens say that their friends are victims of dating violence, and nearly half of teens who are in relationships know friends who are verbally abused,” said U.S. Senator Mike Crapo. February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness & Prevention Month. According to Sen. Crapo, the awareness efforts from organizations like The Advocates aid tremendously in making sure victims know where to turn for help, but it is ultimately the responsibility of all of us to speak up when we see violence and stop it. Awareness education works to prevent teen dating violence. According to the Idaho Department of Education’s Idaho Youth Risk Behavior Survey, due to the distribution of educational materials and presentations promoting healthy teen relationships to more than 15,000 Idaho students a year over the last five years, the number of Idaho high school students reporting they have experienced physical violence by a dating partner has dropped from 13.6% in 2007 to10.6% in 2009 to 8.7% in 2011. To boost statewide participation in prevention and education efforts, all Idaho secondary schools received the 2012 “Love What’s Real” toolkit, which includes posters, brochures, bookmarks, lanyards, buttons, stickers, and draw string backpacks. Please call Darrel or Travis at The Advocates for more information, 208-788-4191. continued on page 3.....

B I T U A R I E S Walter Winston Baucum
Walter Winston Baucum, 73, died Feb. 11, 2012, at Bennett Hills Care and Rehabilitation Center in Gooding, Idaho, after a courageous battle with cancer. Walter was born Dec. 26, 1938, in Poplarville, Miss., the son of Cecil and Wilma Baucum. He attended schools in Gulfport, Miss., and graduated from Gulfport High School in 1957. He was active in the Boy Scouts and became an Eagle Scout. He loved sports and was a star basketball player on the Gulfport High School basketball team. Walter joined the U.S. Navy after graduating from high school and spent most of his four years on the West Coast. After his discharge he returned to Mississippi and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in English at the University of Southern Mississippi. He taught his first three years at Hancock North Central High School in Hancock County, Miss. (Brett Favre country). Then he taught at Harrison Central High School in Gulfport. By then he had earned a Master of Science degree in School Counseling. Walter had a desire to live in the West, especially after a car trip there with his sister when he was 16. After getting his master’s degree, he decided to head west, stopping first in Loveland, Colo., then to Rock Springs, Wyo. While living in Rock Springs, he met his future wife, Marie Sova Edwards, and her two daughters while visiting friends in Salt Lake City. They married July 2, 1976, and lived briefly in Rock Springs and Worland, Wyo., before moving to Gooding, Idaho. Walter began his teaching and high school counseling career in Shoshone High School in 1977 and taught there for 15 years. In 1992 Walter had the opportunity to teach one year for the Department of Defense in Izmir, Turkey, followed by teaching 9 years for the Idaho Department of Correction in Cottonwood, Idaho. Walter retired in 2003 and returned to Gooding. Walter enjoyed living in Idaho. He loved the outdoors and enjoyed camping, hiking, hunting, fishing and gardening. Walt was an avid reader and had a special interest in ancient history. He enjoyed researching the topic and after retiring became the proud author of two published books about the Bronze Age. Walter is survived by his loving wife, Marie; daughters, Christine (James) DiLella of Lansdale, PA, and Catherine Amundson (Steve France) of Gooding; a sister, Imogene Schmidt of Boca Raton, Florida; grandson, Kevin Amundson; granddaughters, Jenna Amundson, Milan DiLella and Paloma DiLella; and many extended family members.

Faith & Religion Eat, Drink and Be Merry by L.T. Housman For most of my life I have felt that the old saying, “eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we may die,” was just a sad commentary on our self indulgent world. In the last few years, however, the older and wiser me (I hope I’m wiser) has come to view this saying as a statement of fact. You see, without God in your life there is nothing to live for. So... you might as well eat, drink, and be merry, because that’s all you’ve got, and that is all you will ever have. But, contrary to the way some people think, we were in fact created to... eat, drink, and enjoy this world that God created for us. Can we over indulge? Absolutely, but that is usually the result of our selfish desire to make created things (food, drink, etc.) the god of our lives, rather than giving the glory to the one who created it all. A good friend of mine passed away recently and one of the things he will be remembered for was his propensity to serve mystery meat. He would reach into his freezer, pull out a package, and cook it up for his friends. It might be something ordinary like beef or pork, but it could just as easily be venison or bear. If it looked like chicken, it might be any small animal that was unfortunate enough to be walking by. While there were many reason to enjoy doing this to his friends, his greatest joy was sharing Jesus. He never held back on the hard things like sin and the reality of hell, but he also didn’t hold back on showing people how to enjoy the grace and mercy that God has extended to all of us through His Son, Jesus Christ. Therefore... Eat, Drink, and be Merry, but remember to give God the glory.

NEWS from West Magic submitted by Rosa Lee Harmon Some West Magic Residents were treated to a rare sight Last Thursday morning (Feb. 9th) and my husband and I had front row seats. Our cabin overlooks Lava Bay and as I walked by our north window, I saw something moving on the ice. Thinking it was ice fishermen, I grabbed my binoculars to check further. Coyote... no. Snowmobiles... no. Fishermen... no. Deer or antelope... no. It was a herd of over twenty elk! They came off Lava Point, crossed the ice, and the last we saw of them was in the brush headed for Fairfield. It was Beautiful! -----------------------------In November, five-year-old Buster Harmon was the recipient of some great fishing wisdom when his father (J.C. Harmon of Huntington, Oregon) and his grandfather (David Harmon of Ontario, Oregon - formerly of Buhl) brought Buster to West Magic to receive expert advice from greatgrandfather, Chuck Harmon. It was decided that on the next trip Buster would be the instructor as he landed a three pound rainbow. The other three gents came up with only one between them that wasn’t even big enough for bait! -------------Be sure to come on out for some great ice fishing. Lots of rainbow trout.

Cup of Tee
Well Valentine’s Day has rolled around again. I wasn’t expecting a few gifts from the United States Government. They are still trying to outdo themselves, like always. I didn’t receive a lottery check like you may have thought. Nor did I receive 160 acres of homestead land. What I did get were some more guarantees. One of the best gifts the government gave me was to assist the commitment the oil traders have on $4.00/gallon gas. Their calculator has some missing buttons because they are headed back towards that number “4” a gallon. Their plans are for the end of May, which is traditionally Memorial Day. I would rather spend my holiday remembering ones gone before me instead of oil traders trying to bury me. Some sections of the country are already up 20 cents/ gallon in the last week. Back in the 1960’s there were 15 plus companies “competing” to get your money. Today only a few companies need not worry about competion because they get your money when they want it. So much of our economy is based on the housing market. Too much is resting on whether someone is going to move or not. It’s hard to change houses when the job market does not initiate it. With the deal over Fanny Mae and other lending institutions, no one is trusting anyone at any level. To extend that, I have recently seen houses that have went into foreclosure and new people with money have stepped up to buy. The paper trail is so slow and not complete that new owners can’t even buy. Has everyone in these offices been furloughed? Computers don’t actually check on real property. Back to the jobs thing, the incentive programs don’t seem to be putting jobs on the table. Unemployment rates are getting worse. Who is helping Small Business which carries a tremendous load of financing families. Big companies don’t deal in human resources, so why do they have resource personnel? They deal in numbers. No matter how long a person has been on a job, how dedicated they were; or what job they did, the people are still numbers. (Six of twenty please report to the office.) States and companies alike are selling our personal information to other companies and countries to meet their short falls. What is to gain, more IBM statistics to cease wages, lifestyle and opposition? (Hitler did exactly this.) We apparently have no “free range” people left. Everyone has a ring in their nose and is herded from paddock to paddock similar to cattle. Happy Valentine’s Day Tee! Is everyone else getting the same mimeographed profile? It seems to me the love we are getting is high prices, no homes, no jobs, breakdown of values, and the, I don’t care about you attitude. This is my “Cup of Tee” with no bed of roses, chocolate, or heartfelt answers. Tee Hurd

...but never Compromising the Truth.
Fish & Game Open House JEROME – Big game season setting, Wildlife Management Area (WMA) management plans and future of fishing opportunities in the Magic Valley Region are just a few of the thing that will be discusses at the upcoming meetings. Idaho F&G will host three events from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. February 28, Hailey Community Campus, Rooms 301 & 302, 1050 Fox Acres Rd., Hailey February 29, Burley Inn Patio Room #2 800 N Overland Ave March 1, Magic Valley Regional Office, 319 South 417 East, Highway Business Park, 2.5 miles north of the Flying J, Jerome “These meetings are a great chance for us to get some feedback from hunters on the preliminary proposals, and to discuss any concerns or new ideas sportsmen may have”, said Randy Smith, Regional Wildlife Manager. Top priorities on the management plans for the Billingsley Creek, Big Cottonwood, Carey Lake, Camas Prairie-Centennial Marsh, Hagerman, and Niagara Springs WMAS, include: Ø Public access management Ø Recreational use management Ø Waterfowl hunting on the Hagerman WMA Ø Pheasant release-and-harvest program Ø Dog-trials and other organized events
The fisheries staff are seeking feedback from anglers about specific fishing opportunities they would like to see that would require rule changes for the 2013-2014 fishing rules as well as ideas for overall management goals. “The Statewide Fisheries Management Plan is a five year plan that sets broad management goals and sideboards for fish management statewide,” said Doug Megargle, Regional Fisheries Manager. “The existing plan expires this year and the Department wants to hear from folks about any changes they’d like to see incorporated into the new plan. “We need to hear from folks on these issues – both the fisheries plan and the regulations effect how you use Idaho’s fishing resources and what type of experience anglers can expect,” he continued. For more information on the meetings or for people unable to attend that would like to provide feedback, they can call 208324-4359. People wanting to go online can comment on fisheries changes at MVFishery@idfg.idaho.gov. The current Fish Management Plan can be found at http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/public/fish/planFisheries.pdf. Hunters may also review the proposals and provide comments on the Fish and Game website (http:// fishandgame.idaho.gov/). Individuals with disabilities may request meeting accommodations by contacting the Jerome Regional Office at the Idaho Department of Fish and Game directly at 208-324-4359 or through the Idaho Relay Service at 1-800-377-2529 (TDD).
