News For The Love of Logan
I first met Logan about ten years ago while my son was having speech therapy at the Camas County School District. Logan had some major special needs and was confined to a high-tech wheelchair. My son made a unique connection to Logan and for about two years, they encouraged each other in ways that helped both of them grow in maturity. Then, Logan’s family moved to another community and my son went off to college. Ten years later, Logan’s family has moved back to Fairfield. While he still has special needs, he has found new friends. Not only that, Logan and his brother Max now have a small business started as an FFA Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) project. Finding a FAA project in which Logan could be involved was a challenge. The answer came when the CCHS team discovered Logan’s super sensitive sense of smell. The team decided to start making bath products with various scents approved by Logan. Max, a freshman at CCHS, supervises the manufacturing of the products which include bath bombs, lotions, foaming hand wash, and more. To make sure the business is a success, Max is also learning all the aspects of running a small business, including growth. Just before Christmas, the team added Kylee Whittle (another Camas County FFA member) along with her home-made natural and preservative-free lip balms. At the beginning of this semester, several more Camas County FFA members have requested to join the all-volunteer team, including Logan’s youngest brother, Xander. “For the Love of Logan” products are now available to order. Just send an email to: fortheloveofljs@gmail.com They will send you an order form and a scent sheet. You can also check out their facebook page. All profits from this project will be used to assist in offsetting the significant, and on-going, financial costs inherent with the care of a special-needs individual. Additionally, profits will be used for the continued participation of Logan and his brothers in FFA. Being a friend to someone with special needs can be difficult, but the rewards can be extraordinary!

Recall Petition Started In Lincoln County
Political conflict has been simmering in Lincoln County for several years now, but in the last couple of weeks it has come to a boil. Being an elected official is never without challenges, and there are always those who are dissatisfied with the decisions made by government. Lincoln County is no exception. Some of the issues that have upset various residents including the disbandenment of the P&Z commission, wage increases for the county commissioners, and most recently, the county courthouse. The historic Lincoln County Courthouse, built in 1904, is one of the oldest courthouse building in Idaho still being used for county offices. Being over a century old, the building has numerous problems, and for at least ten years the county commissioners have been working to find solutions to things like handicap accessibility (ADA), moisture in the basement, and a third story floor that is sagging. In the last couple of years, two community surveys have indicated a majority support for rehabilitating the historic building. This was also the recommendation from the advisory committee on the courthouse. Last fall, a $6 million bond election for courthouse renovation and an annex garnered over 51% support, but because bonds require a super majority, it failed to pass. Knowing how difficult it is to pass a bond, Lincoln County has been putting money aside for continued on page 4...

Legislative Update from Senator Michelle Stennett Disassembling Public Education
Idaho’s Constitution provides, “The stability of a republican form of government depending mainly upon the intelligence of the people, it shall be the duty of the legislature of Idaho, to establish and maintain a general, uniform and thorough system of public, free common schools.” For years, educators, parents, and education officials have collaborated to improve Idaho public schools, including significant efforts to create Idaho specific standards. These standards establish a consistent baseline while allowing each school district to augment or tailor curriculum to local needs. It is discouraging to see that this tremendous effort is not being honored by the Legislature:
• The House Education Committee voted down Idaho’s teacher certification standards and English, science, and math content standards. If the Senate had taken the same tact, we could have lost $260 million in federal dollars, spent $50 to 100 million more to redo the standards, and cost local school districts substantial dollar amounts to replace textbooks and other materials to align with any new standards. Idaho standards have already been extensively studied by Idaho educators and parents. So the Senate’s passage of another interim committee, at a cost of $10,000, makes no sense. • The Senate Education Committee is considering a bill to let parents keep their kids out of school for as much as 35 percent of the school year under some circumstances. • The Governor’s budget gives public K-12 teachers a raise with one hand, but takes it away by forcing them to cover their increase in health care costs with the other. • The Governor’s budget, combined with a tuition freeze, is forcing our public higher education institutions to cut instructors and services. • The House has passed H347, which prevents all taxing districts, including school districts, from running bonds for eleven months after one fails. Idaho districts already face the high hurdle of needing a 2/3 vote to pass a bond. • Further, the House is considering a bill to reduce the previously negotiated number of election dates available for districts to run bonds and levies. Eliminating the March date means that districts will struggle to schedule bond and levy elections and budget effectively for hiring teachers for the next school year. • Our distribution of state revenue for school facilities actually incentivizes some public schools to close and reopen as private charter schools, with $426.00 per pupil going to charter schools and only $151.00 per pupil going to traditional schools. • And our distribution of state revenues on a per student basis gives more money to charter schools than to public schools because charter schools students are funded as if they are in a small rural district when in essence most are in urban districts. Once again a proposal to revise the school funding formula is under consideration in the House. • The House Education Committee is considering a bill to restrict the start of the school year, which would preclude school districts from being responsive to local needs. • Three members of the House Education Committee walked out of a hearing in the middle of testimony aligned with the Governor’s education task force recommendation on social emotional learning. This is a crucial task when Idaho’s suicide rate ranks about fifth in the nation and 23 percent of students have seriously considered suicide in the last year.

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
1-208-246-9999 • Wednesday, February 19, 2020 • The Courier NEWS
You may not know it, but Henrietta Lacks, an African-American woman, probably saved your life! She died in 1951, but she unwitting left behind one of the most important contributions to medical research - a line of immortal human cell. However, as was then the practice, no consent was obtained to culture her cells, nor were she or her family compensated for their extraction or use.
February 24th ~ 6:00 p.m.
Stop by the Camas Public Library, pick up a copy of this extraordinary story, and join the “Let’s Talk About It” discussion of American author Rebecca Skloot’s award winning book about Henrietta Lacks and her immortal cell line, known as HeLa.

Letter to the Editor
FACT OR FICTION?
When I read the newsletters and editorials from our three Democrat District 26 State Legislators, I always ask myself: FACT or FICTION? Elected officials often spin the issues to make themselves look good, or in our case make the other side look like the bogeyman. If that spin is accurate you need to acknowledge it, if not you need to cry foul and set the record straight. Being less than genuine with your constituents is a trait no voter should tolerate. Recently, the majority party has been accused of “Nuking the education system” (voting down a few common core standards), “turning their backs on child safety” (voting against an over restrictive Democrat sponsored child care bill HO312), “punishing voters” (looking for ways to properly fund Medicaid expansion, instead of properly funding it from the start), and “creating a fiscal crisis” in order to limit spending (rebutted by an excellent editorial by our Lt Governor). What our 3 Legislators are not telling you is that they sponsored a bill to give our Electoral College votes away to the Presidential Candidate who wins the popular vote, instead of honoring the choice of Idaho voters (HOO47 2019). They all sponsored a bill to expand the reach and reason of Eminent Domain (HO335), and they all voted against the bill that updated Idaho’s abortion statute to align with federal regulations (S1049 2019). When attending the Town Hall meetings or reading their editorials and newsletters, please ask yourself, Fact or Fiction? Jeff Kreyssig - Camas Co. Central Idaho For Liberty, member

...Lincoln County Recall continued
this project and currently has over $2 million. Estimates put the cost of upgrading the existing building with a new addition at about $5 million, and new construction for a comparable building at about $6 million. That means the county could complete this project with a 3 to 4 million dollar bond. The problem is that during their January 21st, 2020, two of the Lincoln County Commissioners voted to proceed with building a new courthouse. Roy Hubert made the motion with Rick Ellis seconding. On a 2 to 1 vote, a motion was approved to send out a “Request of Proposals for Architectural Services.” Once these proposals come in, this information will be used to ask for another bond election. Commissioner Rebecca Wood, the chairman, disagreed with the motion because it clearly went against the results reported in the surveys. She added that Jerry Mason (ICRMP) said it is a mistake to go against a majority of community opinion. This was the last straw for some in the Lincoln County community and a “Recall Petition” has been started against Roy Hubert and Rick Ellis for ‘Willfully disregarding the public’ and ‘Deliberately ignoring the surveys and the recommendation of the advisory committee.’ To put this question in May Election, petitioners have until April 3rd to gather signatures from 20% of registered electors in Lincoln County from the last general election.

Gloria Ann John
1-208-246-9999 • Wednesday, February 19, 2020 • The Courier NEWS
obit ua r ies
Gloria Ann John, 72, of Shoshone passed from this life on Friday, February 7, 2020, due to complications of Parkinson’s disease. She was very much at peace surrounded by family who all love her very much. Our hearts are broken but Heaven has truly gained an Angel. She was born October 16, 1947, at St. Valentine’s Hospital in Wendell, Idaho to Cecil Lee and Nona Ida (Dayley) Hyde. The first daughter and fifth child, five more came after. She always said she enjoyed being part of a large family. As a child, she attended the Pleasant Plains country school north of Jerome and Washington Elementary. On August 16, 1959, at the age of 11 years, she was presented a small white bible at Nazarene Vacation Bible School for having learned the most bible verses. She was very proud of this accomplishment and grew to know and love her Savior Jesus Christ. Gloria was a graduate of Jerome High School Class of 1966 and earned a scholarship to beauty school in Boise. She missed home dearly and returned to her family, taking a job in the front office of St. Benedict’s Hospital in Jerome. She met her lifelong partner - Kit John at the Conoco service station in Jerome and they were later married in a beautiful ceremony in Wendell on April 18, 1968. To this day, you will always hear Kit say “I can’t believe she said Yes”. They bought their first home in Buhl where Gloria worked as a bank teller at Idaho First National Bank until they joined Kit’s parents on a dairy farm south of Wendell. Together they worked hard and raised their two children, relocated to a farm at Hazelton then settled on their home of 40 years at Shoshone. She happily kept up with raising a family, school activities, housework, farm records, and eventually took over milking the dairy herd when Kit went to work for ABS. They were just black and white cows but she knew every one of them by name and how to deal with a stubborn cow. Nothing got past her when it came to those cows. She taught her children good work ethics and how to take care of each other. She loved shopping trips, created some very pretty ceramic pieces for her family and loved beautiful flowers. It was always a joy see her two very large beautiful lilac bushes in full bloom. Our Gloria had a big heart, a kind soul and taught us all about the value of life. Her strength and courage in the face of a devastating disease gave us all a very big lesson on how strong she really was. Your wings were ready but our hearts were not. She is survived by her husband Kit of 51 years; one son - Eric (Amanda) and daughter - Kimberley (Cody); four grandchildren - Makala, Bryce, Ryker and Piper; three sisters - Carol (Monty), Helen, Patricia (James) and three brothers - Raymond (Donna), Gary (Mary), Jim (Teresa); sister-in-laws - Norma, Betty, Linda, Bonnie, Lynn; numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. She was preceded in death by her mother and father; brothers - Johnny, Robert, William and sister - Mae. The family would like to acknowledge the excellent care of our loved one by her nurses Connie, Eva and Michelle of Alliance Home Health Care. Thank you to good friends Tom and Joyce Bingham who were always there for her. Your care and friendship is deeply appreciated. Funeral services were conducted at Demaray Funeral Chapel (Gooding) on Saturday, February 15, 2020, at 1:00 pm. Burial followed at the Wendell Cemetery.
Julie Lynne Silva
Julie Lynne Silva, 61, a resident of Wendell, passed away on Wednesday, February 12, 2020 at her home in Wendell. Julie was born on September 27, 1958 in Oakdale, California, the daughter of Laverne and Shirley (Lerch) Silva. Julie is survived by: her parents - Laverne and Shirley Silva of Wendell; and her sisters - Frankie Backlund of Turlock, California and Patty Silva of Wendell. Graveside services were held on Tuesday, February 18, 2020, at the Wendell Cemetery in Wendell. Funeral arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service - Wendell Chapel.

For more information please contact the Gooding County Office of Emergency Man February 27 IDFG Regional Office, Pocatello agement Coordinator, Missy Shurtz at 208-934-5958. The Gooding County Local Emergency Each year in the southeast region, Idaho Hunter Education instructors certify over 1000 new hunters and trappers, mostly youth . As Idaho continues to be one of the fastest growing states in the nation, the number of youth needing to take Hunter Education will likely increase in the near future. And, because youth have competing interests that swallow their free time, finding a class that fits into an already hectic schedule can be difficult. Having a diversity of class options available throughout the year increases the likelihood that busy youth (and adults) can find classes that work for them. Many of Fish and Game’s current volunteer instructors have been valiantly teaching for decades, even to multiple generations in their community. But, they can’t do it all on their own. In order to provide continued opportunities for certification, we are seeking safe and ethical sportsmen and sportswomen who are willing to share their knowledge and skills with the hunters and trappers of tomorrow. If you are ready to make a difference to the future of hunting and trapping in Idaho and are interested in becoming a volunteer Hunter, Bowhunter, or Trapper Education instructor please call Volunteer Services Coordinator, Tessa Atwood, at 208-232-4703 or by emailing her at tessa.atwood@idfg.idaho.gov. Interested candidates must call or email to reserve their seat at their desired class location. Whether you are able to help once a year or once a month, teach in a classroom setting, or lead a field day outdoors, Idaho’s future hunters and trappers need you!

Cup of Tee
*Sliding Scale fees available*
© Since before the groundhog saw his shadow, everyone has been asking me, “Are we having an early spring?” I don’t know why they think I’d know the answer to that question. I don’t profess to be a weather forecaster. I don’t like to lie, therefore that profession would not be for me. If I look outside, I see it is not shorts & tank top weather, if that is what they want to know. So many people get spring fever at the sight of a nice day they want to shed the coats. This time of year you still want to keep your layers on, but maybe not as heavy of layers as a month ago. It is an opportune way to get sick, your body doesn’t adjust fast enough to the hot/cold thing. Recently I bought a dump truck in Council, Idaho. The truck was covered with two feet of snow that I had to dig out. I may have felt a tad warm shoveling snow, but I would say in that area of our state, it was definitely not spring time. As I drove the truck down the road I didn’t have the heater figured out. So, even 50 miles from Council without all the snow, it still wasn’t spring... according to my body temperature.

In the truck I did find a fly swatter. That could be a sign of summer perhaps, if one was going to swat annoying flies. A few days back I was in Fruitland, Idaho, loading some firewood logs. I had the truck running to move it to and fro. I had figured out the heater and it was running fine. As I drove to Emmett, Idaho, with the firewood, the cab inside was very comfortable. All of a sudden, wasps were flying all over the cab. Fresh wasps out of dormancy are usually a little disoriented. Good time to get stung. Obviously, the wasps thought it was spring because they reached that temperature found in spring that gives them life. They need 45 plus degrees to fly. With wasps flying everywhere and me driving, what is going to happen? Oh yes, that summer tool to swat flies. I sprang into action with the fly swatter to stop wasps. I remember months ago when I tried the truck out, I had backed the truck in its place and the wasps were really confused because the truck was facing the opposite direction. I believe this time of year, Spring is a frame of mind. This is my “semi-winter / green Cup of Tee.”
