2013 4H KYG This last weekend, 150 teenagers descended upon the Idaho Capital in Boise for the annual 4H Know Your Government (KYG) conference. Our three county area sent about a dozen young men and women to this conference to learn how our government works - specifically, the judicial and legislative branches. On the judicial side, attendees participated in a mock-trial involving an automobile accident caused by drinking and texting. The driver who was drinking was charged with manslaughter, but the big question was whether the texting driver contributed to the accident. With the help of real judges and attorneys who volunteered their time, teens filled the parts of judges and attorneys, the individuals involved in the accident, witnesses, and other people needed in the court case. On the legislative side, volunteers from our Idaho Legislature helped attendees go through the committee process of bringing five different bills to life. The bills (written by third-year attendees) included the legalization of hemp, taxing agriculture to fund ag education, a ban on ethanol, mandatory foreign language classes for high school, and a statewide school calender. Of course, the conference wasn’t all work and no fun. Motivational speaker, Brandon Lee White, was on hand to encourage the attendees to be courageous. “Courage is standing up for what is right no matter what the risk,” he said. He also said that successful people are not afraid of failure, they know that failure is just the process of learning what doesn’t work. KYG is open to all 8th and 9th graders involved in 4-H. If you, or someone you know, is in a 4-H club, be sure to find one of our local participants and ask them how is was. It not too early to be thinking about next year.

Relay For Life Do you know anyone who has cancer, died of cancer, or survived cancer? Most of us do. On Monday of this week, a group of individuals from our area met in Gooding to start the process of bringing Relay For Life - a celebration of survivorship - to Gooding this summer on July 26th & 27th. Relay For Life is a fundraising event for American Cancer Society that not only helps fight cancer, it is also fun way to celebrate and honor those who have battled this disease. This event is put on by volunteers in your community who plan, organize, and make sure everything runs as smooth as possible. Over the next few months, members of the planning committee will be visiting with you and your neighbors to ask for your help. The goal is to spread the responsibilities over as many people as possible. The actual event involves teams that walk, jog, or run, at the event site. The teams can also provide entertainment and food for the event. Participants form teams from their families, their businesses, their schools (students and/or teachers), their organizations, or any other group of people you can think of, and they compete to see which team can raise the most money. The Gooding Relay For Life is open to teams from Camas, Gooding and Lincoln counties. So, start talking to your co-workers or family members about forming a team. For more information, go to www.relayforlife.org

Women in Agriculture
Robin’s Delicious, Old-fashioned
State Rep. Maxine Bell, R-Jerome, will be the keynote speaker for the first Idaho Women in Agriculture Conference, planned for Saturday, March 2nd in Twin Falls. Celia Gould, director of the Idaho State Department of Agriculture, and Charlotte Eberlein, director of University of Idaho Extension, will also speak at the conference, which will address the changing roles of women in agriculture. According to the 2007 Census of Agriculture, 30 percent of farm operators — more than 1 million — across the country were women. That was up 19 percent from a census in 2002. The conference is intended to give women farm operators an opportunity to meet and share their experiences and learn about new opportunities, according to a press release. Speakers will also touch on marketing trends and tools, agritourism, loans and other creative financing, and successful social media strategies. The conference will start at 8 a.m. in the College of Southern Idaho’s Taylor Building. Conference Hosts: It’s supported by a grant from the Western Center for Risk Management, and hosted by the Idaho Barley Commission and University of Idaho Extension. Registration costs $28 and includes lunch. Visit http:// idwomeninag.wordpress.com for more details, or call Cinda Williams or Kaycee Royer with UIExtension at 208-883-2267.

What is this librarian reading these days? New: Jamrach’s Menagerie written by Carol Birch I love a story that pulls me into another time or place and this wonderfully rich story, so beautifully written, does both. It was so absorbing that the desperate need to be folding laundry or picking up dog poo in the backyard was completely forgotten as I turned page after page and watched Jaffy and his friends smoking and drinking gin at ten years of age in the mean streets of London- this was good parenting? I watched Jaffy taking care of Mr. Jamrach’s imported animals - breathless with fear that some exotic creature will be killed. And when this poor dumb little kid goes to sea – I was appalled. How could he sail a ship, how could he catch a dragon, how could he survive the heartless ocean, would he get back home? I loved these characters, I loved the prose and I loved the tale. The author followed Jaffy all the way to the continued on page 8.....

from the Editor
Earlier this year, a poll worker in Ohio admitted to voting twice, though she claimed it was not voter fraud because she was afraid her first vote wouldn’t be counted. New information came out this past week that alleges that this same poll worker may have voted as many as six times in the last election, and she was not alone. As many as two dozen individuals in that same voting district are being investigated for similar activity, including one person who claimed they were unaware that it was illegal to vote twice, and some who said they were encouraged to do so. It would be easy to say that this type of behavior was race related because the poll worker and several others were black, but that would be a shallow evaluation of what happened. During the last election, several news agencies aired stories that asked college students (black, white & other) certain simple political questions. Where is the U.S. Capital? Who is the Vice-President? How many branches does our government have? What is the Supreme Law of the land? Can the President make law? The results (in most cases) were laughable. College students were woefully ignorant, and yet, those same college students claimed to be ready to vote, presumably for people and positions they had never heard of. The ignorance of American college students is so pervasive that several political annalists have said that simply returning the legal voting age to 21 (which it was until 1971) would dramatically change our political landscape. The reasoning behind this is that three years would give these individuals time to learn about the real world and how our government works. The problem with that idea is that the last election was decided in less than 20% of our country. In fact, one news report stated that the presidential election was decided in just 7 voting districts - voting districts like the one in Ohio. While some of these places have a high population of blacks, the more important issue is that these areas of our country have the lowest graduation rates in the nation. The national graduation rate is almost 80%. In large metropolitan areas like Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, the graduation rate is 50% to 60%. Some cities are as low as 45%. That means that in these areas of high population, half of the children will never finish high school, and consequentially, never take a high school class in science, economics, history, or... government. On a superficial level, it seems like we live in a racially divided country, but in reality, we have a nation that is divided between those who are educated and those who are not.

Volunteers Sought For CSI Intercollegiate Rodeo Habitat Restoration Project March 8th and 9th JEROME – Wildlife habitat in the Magic Valley is getting a helping hand, and you can be part of that effort. The Idaho Department of Fish and Game and the Bureau of Land Management invite volunteers to join them in planting bitterbrush, sagebrush, and willows at a recently burned sites this spring. This year’s efforts will focus on the Big Cottonwood Wildlife Management area, which burned in last summer’s Cave Canyon fire, as well as a site near King Hill, which burned in the Blair Trail Fire of 2011. The project is part of the Volunteers for Habitat Restoration program, a cooperative effort to improve upland and riparian wildlife habitat in Southern Idaho. According to Regional Wildlife Habitat Manager Mark Fleming, bitterbrush is a preferred food source where it occurs on mule deer winter range. “These fires severely impacted habitat for wintering mule deer and other species in our region,” said Fleming. “By planting seedlings, we’ll help to jump-start the recovery of this area. Even with intervention, it could take a generation before we see desert shrubs begin to thrive again.” Sagebrush seedlings are a key component of habitat for the greater sage-grouse, a species of concern in Idaho. Willows are important for a variety of game and non-game species alike. “We feel that volunteers are a key component in their efforts to preserve fish and wildlife for future generations,” said Ed Papenberg, IDFG Volunteer Coordinator. “When a person works on the landscape, they’ve made an investment in that landscape and people tend to protect their investment.” “We’re planting seedlings, but we’re also building a community which values its natural resources,” he continued. “Besides, it’s just plain fun, you get to spend time in open country and meet people.” Each planting effort is an all-day affair including driving time, and participants need to prepare for any weather. Planting will take place at these sites on the first three Saturdays in April. Anyone interested in signing up should call Papenberg, at 324-4359.

...but never Compromising the Truth.
Cup of Tee
This week beginning I was teaching a class on tractors and equipment in the “Living on the Land’ class. I had ordered a couple of tractor books to give away as door prizes. As I arrived home Friday last after dark, I had received one of the tractor books. I opened the book while still sitting in my pickup. The book was received in good condition, I think due to the bubble wrap that encased the book. I started to pop the bubbles on the bubble wrap. Moments later my cat jumped up on my pickup hood looking around everywhere. Apparently she thought I was breaking chicken bones or some kind of treat. Why do people pop the bubbles on bubble wrap? It seems like there is an uncontrollable urge to pop the tiny bubbles of air ballooned inside the plastic. I myself am as guilty as the next guy about popping the bubbles. It seems the smaller they are, the bigger the desire to pop the air pockets. Perhaps it is a man over element thing that causes a person to go to the extremes of popping. Maybe it is the sound of the pop similar to the sound of illegal fireworks you are not supposed to have. Maybe it is the thrill of trying to get a louder explosion than the bubble you popped previously. I know when you are not popping the tiny bubbles of air yourself, it is pretty annoying to hear. Sometimes I think people pop the plastic to make enough noise to scare someone else. As a society we may be used to seeing the very clear plastic covering a bowl of jello with bananas. Somehow the looks of plastic with rows of bubbles look too out of place for our accustomed look of the “Saran Wrap” smooth look. (pop the bubbles). The bubbles could be too uniform for one’s mind to accept. Since all of our lives aren’t in order such as the rows of air tubes, we may not be able to relate. On the other hand, they may remind us of the old black and white dots, projected by your tv after the stations went off the air from years ago. Those little dots were very annoying. Thus breaking the bubbles in the wrap could reduce in one’s mind the dots. When the bubbles are really large one lays the plastic on the floor and steps on the bubbles breaking them under their feet. Is it foot massage or just the escaping air that is the fascination? Going to the other extreme, when a person is wrapping something they will align and straighten the bubble wrap to keep it from tearing or being damaged. This is totally opposite from getting all the air out to recycle the plastic into a smaller container. I probably won’t be able to get legislation passed to make it a crime to pop the bubbles in bubble wrap. I would be a repeat offender. For whatever reason or not this story holds air, this is my “Cup of Tee”. Pop, Pop...

...the Borrowed Book continued surprisingly sweet end in light of all the bitter that preceded it. From my over-stuffed chair in Gooding, it is clear that I will never go on whaling ship. But I feel like I have. Forget housework – go to the library and check out “Jamrach’s Menagerie”. -----------------------------------Old: “On The Beach” written by Nevil Shute It’s a 1957 cautionary tale of what happens after some little country armed with nuclear devices and led by power crazy man (no, not North Korea in this novel) sets off a chain reaction. But this book is not about war, it’s about the character of those who wait to die in the last bastion of breathable air - Australia. I have read it twice, once in the 1960’s (and then I saw the movie with heartthrob Gregory Peck playing the commander of the last submarine on earth) and again just a month ago. It was still as deeply touching and as scary as it was forty years ago. The characters are so real, with their denials, wild parties or their preparations for the end, lovers plotting how to help each other die, their struggles to alleviate the suffering of their pets and farm animals. The end of the book is sad – I thought the Calvary would play those familiar notes and Hope would come galloping over the sand, but Hope never came. Instead, the end is on the beach. I think every political science student in the world and every voter should read this book. Also new at the Gooding Public Library – bodice rippers with a western twang – don’t miss the whole set by Carolyn Brown (who must not have always looked like Grandma on baking day). Check out some of these titles: “Love Drunk Cowboy”, “Getting Lucky”, “My Give A Damn’s Busted” or “Hell Yeah”. Hmm um – I’ll let the other readers comment on this author.

Gooding County Historical Society
The Gooding Historical Society announced this week that the Union Pacific Railroad has given the Society a grant of $2,000.00 to be used for educational outreach programs and preservation of artifacts in its collection. The Union Pacific has been a strong ally of the museum for the past several years. Their support and contributions has made it possible to move forward with many museum projects. The Idaho State Historical Museum is opening a new exhibit “Essential Idaho: 150 Things that Make the Gem State Unique “to celebrate Idaho’s Territorial Sesquicentennial. Frank Gooding, former Governor, Senator and citizen of Gooding County will be included in that exhibit, which will open on March 5th and run through December 31, 2013. Plan to visit the exhibit the next time you are in Boise. The Society’s annual Gala will be held on the 16th of March, 2013, at the Basque Cultural Center. The Basque Center will catering the Gala as well. Prices this year are $30.00 per person and all tickets will be sold in advance of the Gala. Tickets can be purchased from, Lorri Robb, Ilene Rounsefell, Sharon Cheney and Judy Erdman. The theme of the Gala is “Happy 100th Birthday” in celebration the creation of Gooding County on January 18, 1913 by the Idaho Legislature by partition from Lincoln County. The County was named for Frank R. Gooding, pioneer sheep rancher, Idaho Governor and U. S. Senator. Entertaining will be Ernie Sites. It will be a fun filled evening of music, games, and just plain fun. Mark your calendars so you don’t miss the fun. The museum will open to the public for the 2013 season on Friday, April 5, and Saturday, April 6, 2013, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. It will then be open every Friday and Saturday until the end of October. Admission is free. Should you wish to schedule an appointment for a special tour, please contact the Director of the Museum, Sharon Cheney. In conjunction with the Centennial Birthday of Gooding County, there is a new exhibit that looks at the various aspects of the development of Gooding County. Many types of artifacts will be displayed and all have in some way helped Gooding County become what it is today. On April 17th, 2013 at 7 p.m. the new Speaker Night season will begin with Mr. Dean Gooding sharing some insights to his well-known relative, Frank R. Gooding. Refreshments will be served. Speaker Night will be held at the Museum every third Wednesday of every month from April to October. This year will be an exceptional one. The GHS Board of Directors wishes to thank the Lewis and Clark State College Library for their gift of 2 microfilm readers to be used in the Research Center of the Museum. This now gives the Center 3 readers for use by the general public.

The Courier NEWS - 9
from Representitive Steve Miller
For the Week Ending February 15, 2013 Things are heating up in Boise and I predict will get even hotter over the next few weeks. While there are several important issues to address in this update, I will begin with the Insurance Exchange Bill because it was extensively covered by the media. Health Exchange Bill I strongly oppose Obamacare. When I joined the House, I hoped to find a choice beyond a state exchange or federal control. I wanted to choose Door #3 - an option that would allow us to “Say No” to this program. It does not exist. After much research and countless meeting with my colleagues, I joined 15 other House freshmen to introduce a trailer bill that will protect Idaho and its citizens. By providing for state oversight, fiscal responsibility and federal accountability, we will force the federal government to the table to do this on our terms. As your legislator, I know the wisest thing I can do is to listen to my constituents. After hearing from many of you, I collaborated on safeguards to prevent federal government intrusion into the daily lives of Idahoans. The protections crafted by my colleagues and I will hold the federal government accountable and provide for state oversight, preventing federal government control within our state. With the vigilant legislative oversight we have demanded, the exchange and the feds will be held accountable. Here are the key aspects of the trailer bill: · There must be legislative approval for operational, consumer and fiscal changes; · There must be legislative approval of any and all fee changes; · A Senator and Representative will sit on the Commission; · There must be annual reporting to the appropriate state legislative committees; · This must be accomplished without using Idaho tax dollars, the insurance exchange will not be built on the back of Idahoans; · There must be legislative oversight for essential health benefit changes; · There must be transparency of all meetings and the RFP (Request for Proposal) processes; · There are provisions to delay the establishment of Idaho’s exchange should the federal government extend any deadline; · There are provisions to totally cancel the Idaho exchange if the federal government promulgates untenable rules or fails all together. I wish I could have found Door #3, but it wasn’t available. I believe the changes of the trailer bill will protect Idahoans. Together, my colleagues and I are fighting for Idahoans, rather than running away. Business Personal Property Tax A preliminary draft of the Governor’s bill to repeal this tax was circulated this week. We expect some changes to the draft, but it provides for the gradual phasing out of $140 million personal property tax on business equipment over six or seven years. In this draft, some of the revenue lost by cities and counties will be reimbursed by the general fund.
Gun Rights Reacting to a possible move by President Obama to limit firearms, two bills strengthening gun rights will be introduced beginning next week. The first, headed to the House State Affairs Committee, enhances the ability of Idaho law enforcement agencies to resist federal efforts in confiscating weapons or ammunition that is deemed illegal by future federal laws. The second bill provides for the creation of a new category of concealed weapons permit requiring more training, including live-fire instruction. This “enhanced permit” would allow Idaho’s permit to be recognized by more states. Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee (JFAC) On Friday, JFAC unanimously supported Governor Otter’s budget recommendation of $2,783,010,200 for fiscal year 2014. That is 3% above the 2013 appropriations. We do not have to spend all of it, but we cannot spend any more than this budgeted amount. Agricultural Affairs Committee The Committee reviewed the Animal Care bill, HB 111. This bill defines torture of animals and provides for a felony penalty for offenders with their third animal cruelty conviction. By majority vote, the bill was recommended to the floor of the House. Highlights from the Session - Legislative Days 36-40 Hire One More Employee – HB 88, revising the existing tax credit bill “Hire One”, passed the House 62 – 7. The bill revised the amounts and qualifications for the tax credit and added an extra $1000 credit to employers for hiring new employees who are veterans. With a price tag of over $10 million, there is a chance it won’t be fully funded if it does pass. Idaho Opportunity Fund – HB 100, providing $3 million in tools for Idaho cities to attract business, passed the House with a 598 vote. The funds, which must be matched by local government, could be used on infrastructure projects to bring in new business. When new businesses consider relocating, they work with a checklist of items such as availability and education, labor force, transportation, cost of living, taxes, etc. The presence of this fund will provide one more check on the list, making Idaho more attractive for new businesses. Urban Renewal - HB 135, limiting urban renewal, was defeated in the House Local Government Committee by a 4 - 9 vote. Over the past week, I had the opportunity to meet with members of the Snake River Alliance, Doctors Under the Dome, Idaho Hospitals, Miners, Outfitters, and Idaho State Broadcasters. I welcome any and all questions, concerns, or comments. Please email or mail them to me at: Representative Steve Miller Idaho State Capitol smiller@house.idaho.gov P.O. Box 83720 Boise, ID 83720-0038 -------------------------------------If you are interested in watching the Legislature in action, there is streaming video for the House, Senate, and JFAC at http:// legislature.idaho.gov/budget/JFAC/BudgetSetting.pdf.
