Education and the 2022 Elections

Candidates for state and local govenments will begin filing next Monday to be on the ballot for the May 17th Primary Election. There are many issues that are important to voters, but the one issue that has tipped the scales in recent elections is what's happening in our schools.

Last year, a young Virginian man who identified as "gender fluid" was found guilty of raping a female classmate. However, that was not the main reason this event became news worthy.

During a Loudoun County School Board meeting, members of the board as well as the school superintendent lied to the public regarding their knowledge of the event. They even went so far as to have the father of the young girl arrested. A few days later the NSBA (National School Boards Association) labeled the father a "domestic terrorist" in a letter to the White House.

When the lies finally came to light, parents across Virginia were rightfully upset. All of this, along with a number of thoughtless comments by Democrats, led to Republican Glenn Youngkin being elected Governor of Virginia (he promised to ban the teaching of critical race theory and to push back against covid mandates).

© The blood stream is a very intricate system that flows 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, takes and supplies nutrients to every organ, does its own internal maintenance, and provides for the great whole of all other systems throughout the body.

The trucking system is our country's blood stream. It runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, non-stop. Every function of life as we know it has been delivered by a truck somewhere. That includes your cell phone, satellites in space, the food you eat, the house you live in, the means to make a living, and the list goes on and on.

The same as blood flow, the trucking system keeps the system moving safely without undo restrictions. ALL systems work well when trucks do what they need to do.

The last half year has seen systems everywhere getting out of balance or they aren't clean flowing. We see dock and container issues gridlocked. The price of all goods and service are rising at alarming rates. Don't need to worry much because prices will probably keep going up and as always, you will absorb all the costs.

Is there any money left at the end of the paycheck? That question is most like weather casting - one doesn't know. I would personally say slim to no money left at the end of the paycheck with property/rent costs, fuel costs, food costs... to mention a few.

Recently our neighbor, Canada, staged a

Serving with all Gentleness & Compassion...

by Tee Hurd

"Freedom Convoy" to their capital with truckers peacefully protesting those mandates pertaining to Covid inoculations and mandatory isolations.

Their government officials produced emergency laws to forcefully stop the people's voice. They have even gone so far as to take pets, property, and personal funds. With the government's doing their process, they are creating violent suppression to innocent victims.

Our truckers in the United States during our Covid pandemic were banned from restaurants, paid higher prices for fuel, and were unable to use closed rest stops for restroom facilities. The list included numerous other ones.

Truck drivers throughout the United States are planning their own protest rally to our own capital. If you think things are getting out of control with prices... BEWARE. Any stoppage of flow increases prices. How many truckers nation wide are going to join the convoy for their own mandate protest? Who knows!

Between the United States and Canada, millions were lost in trade during the "Freedom Convoy" due to supply issues. Whether you support or don't support our trucking industry, our main stream blood flow is being restricted with tourniquets... politically so to speak. I hope we can come to a quick resolution before things do the ripple/tornado effect.

This is my “Cup of Tee” watching the main stream flow.

DISTRICT 24 CANDIDATES

Glenneda Zuiderveld of Twin Falls County will be running for the District 24 State Senate seat - Twin Falls, Gooding and Camas Counties.

She has been actively involved in Idaho politics for 8 years. On her journey, there have been many victories and defeats that have produced knowledge, wisdom, courage, discipline, endurance and humbleness - all characteristics that will make her a great Representative of the people.

Glenneda knows how important farming and agriculture is to Idaho. Her family were potato, grain, and bean producers, taking many acres of sage brush land and making it productive farm land in Jerome, Bell Rapids and Wells Nevada. Her Dad would always say, "there are two things you don't mess with in a farmers life, his wife or his water." She knows first hand how important water is to our farmers. Idaho has nearly 25,000 farms and ranches which produce more than 185 different commodities. Farming is not only the life blood of Idaho but to our Country. She support agriculture 100 percent.

Truth is a hard pill to swallow sometimes, but it is a pill all Idahoans must swallow if we are to protect our precious Idaho. Ask yourselves with Idaho always being a strong Republican State, and our current executive branch having R's behind their names, and 86 out of 105 legislative branch seats have R's, why does Idaho look more like California and Oregon and not Florida??

Chenele Dixon has announced her candidacy for the Idaho Legislature, District 24 Seat A. She already has gained the support and endorsement of dozens of community leaders from across the district.

“Idaho needs real conservative leadership.

As a pro-life, pro-gun, fiscal conservative, I will fight for our values,” said Dixon. “I believe Idaho’s future depends upon having a strong education system without the influence of extremist-liberal ideologies. I will work to prepare Idaho for the future while protecting the interests of Idaho’s families, the agricultural industry and small businesses.”

For the past twelve years, Dixon has been actively involved in Republican politics in Idaho — serving as a Republican precinct committee person, chairing the local Lincoln Day Gala, and representing Twin Falls County at the state level as the County’s Republican State Committeewoman. She has worked to elect Republicans throughout the state, working on dozens of candidates’ campaigns.

Throughout Dixon’s life, she has volunteered in her family, church and community, finding a need and helping to find and carryout solutions.

As director of CSI Music Fest for eight years, she helped carry on a longtime legacy of music training for youth in and around the Magic Valley. She has served on the Kimberly School Foundation for the past 5+ years, helping to raise scholarship money for graduates of Kimberly High School.

William Brown Elliott

January 17, 1939 - February 16, 2022

Bill Elliott was born in Howard, Kansas and passed in Boise, Idaho, from complications due to TBI induced Alzheimer’s disease.

He moved to Idaho with his parents, John Wesley and Alice Weir (Brown) Elliott, and shared a happy childhood with his sister, Joan Elliott Pond and brother, John Wesley Elliott, Jr. Bill loved his adopted state, the Magic Valley, Camas Prairie and his community. He consistently sought ways to further community throughout his life.

Bill was immediately smitten with a young banker named Mary Jeanne and their partnership lasted for more than six decades.

Together they raised three children and adored their grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Bill also cherished his in-laws, nieces and nephews and their children. Bill and Mary Jeanne were true partners in all endeavors from that first day he met her until his last breath.

Bill knew business and often credited his first mentor, Morris Klaas, for teaching him business from the ground up when a very young Bill swept floors with sawdust, sorted bananas, candled eggs, and delivered groceries. He worked in the family businesses and had adult responsibilities before he was a teenager. He attended Idaho State College and fortuitously studied business while telling his father he was following a different path. He then returned to Filer to purchase and modernize the family businesses and introduce new agricultural machinery and technology to the Camas Prairie and Magic Valley. He also owned the BSA dealership and was called upon by McColluch to consult on some of their products. There was rarely anything that Bill wasn’t able to analyze and improve.

His love for his family and neighbors was shown by his volunteerism. Bill donated his time and talents to the American Red Cross, Filer United Methodist Church, Filer Parks and Recreation, and the Volunteer Fire Department. He served as a Zoning Council Member, Scout Master of Boy Scout Troop 73, his son’s troop, and he loved working on the Filer High Alumni Reunion and Alumni Scholarship Committees. He also quietly helped his neighbors through his everyday interactions and acts of kindness. He and Mary Jeanne were humbled to twice be Grand Marshalls for the annual Parade.

Bill was thoughtful, funny, athletic, wise, and always thinking. If asked, he shared his insights and wisdom. He believed each of us can leave a place better than how we found it. This was true whether it was a community, school, or trail. There was always enough time to stop and help. Our family remains a team in spirit.

Our wonderful Bill is survived by his love, Mary Jeanne; his children, Bob, Kathleen; in-laws, Michelle and Teresa; grandchildren, Stacia, Alex, Tasha, Parker, Preston and their families; his lifelong friend, Gene Baxter; and a circle of family and friends in Filer, Fairfield and throughout Idaho and the country. He was preceded in death by his parents; siblings; and daughter, Christine.

A graveside service will be held at 2:00 p.m., Saturday, February 26, 2022 at Filer Cemetery 2350 East 4000 North, Filer. Out of respect for each other, please wear a mask or accept one at Bill’s service.

Memorial contributions may be made to an organization of your choice or follow Bill’s example and spend some time helping your community, school, or neighbors.

Memories and condolences may be shared with the family on Bill’s memorial webpage at www.farmerfuneralchapel.com

...but never Compromising the Truth.

Jerry Leigh Gibbons

obit ua ry

Jerry Leigh Gibbons, 74, passed away on Monday, February 14, 2022 in Twin Falls, Idaho surrounded by his family.

Jerry was born on November 23, 1947 in Gooding, Idaho, two days before his mother's birthday; he was her favorite birthday present. He was born to parents Eugene John Gibbons and Doris Durfee. Jerry was the middle of seven children to Gene and Doris.

He was raised in Gooding. His siblings will all say that Jerry was by far "Mom's Favorite". He could do nothing wrong. Whether it was sneaking kittens upstairs, fishing in the canals, breaking chairs, putting holes in the walls, or any other mischief he and his sibling got into...Jerry got away with everything.

During his high school years, he played basketball and golf, was a manager for the football team, was part of the G Club, National Honors Society, and the Future Teachers of America Club. He held offices as the Junior Class Representative, Senior Class Vice-President, and Boys' Association Treasure.

As a member of the varsity boys' basketball team, Jerry helped set two historic moments for Gooding High School. In 1965 during his junior year, Gooding won their very first boys basketball District Conference Championship in school history.

During his senior year, they took home the District Conference Championship and went on to take home the 1966 Idaho A-2 Boys Basketball State Championship banner for the first time in school history. His sweet spot was shooting corner 3s before they were even considered 3-pointers.

Jerry graduated from Idaho State University in 1972 with a degree in BS Business Administration. He was hired by the United States Forest Service in Fairfield, Idaho in 1969 and during his 42 years of service with the Forest Service was a Fire Control Aid, Forestry Technician, and a Forestry Budget Officer. He received the Richard L. "Larry" Barnes Memorial Award for exemplary service in "Caring for The Land and Serving People" in 1996. After 42 years of working in the Forest Service he retired in 2011.

While working for the Forest Service in Fairfield, Jerry met Kelly Pate during the summer of 1978. They were married the following year on February 17, 1979.

They lived in Fairfield, Idaho until Jerry transferred to the Sawtooth National Forest Service office in Twin Falls, Idaho. They were blessed with three children: Lyndsey, Jeremy, and Cody. Jerry dedicated his life to his family. Many hours were spent attending their children's sporting events and school activities, building a playhouse, and attending Gibbons' Family Reunions in the foothills above Fairfield.

For most of their married life, they would spend the weekends at his parents' house in Gooding helping his parents with whatever they needed.

To know Jerry was to know laughter. Jerry was the favorite uncle to his many nieces and nephews and they would willingly participate in whatever fun he started.

He was notorious at starting mischief...which of course he was never blamed for.

Foam ball wars, baseball games, football games, playing cards, basketball games, target practice with Pepsi cans on your head that Jerry would knock off with a football, golf wars, or just standing around and punching each other in the arm. Whatever

5

he did was epic and accompanied by his grin and chuckle. He was the quiet uncle who would get you when you least expected it... ponytail tugs or a ball flying at you from across the room. Which, of course, he would grin and say was never him but the person sitting next to him.

Jerry was the best "Papa G" to his eight grandchildren. Mischief was plenty there too and of course, his grandkids loved it. Papa would do anything for his family. He attended ball games, bought the best Legos, took them golfing, snuck in video games, always had donuts, and started the tradition of birthday dinners at pizza joints. He was always encouraging, loyal and loving.

He especially had a soft spot for his only granddaughter whom he picked up every day from kindergarten. If anyone could get Papa to do her every wish she could. She gave him a daily adventure during his last few years and he loved every minute of it.

Jerry was always willing to step in and help his friends whether it was watching the neighbors' goats, helping cut down trees in Mackay, shoveling multiple driveways, and helping his wife with her running adventures. He enjoyed golfing every summer with his sons, grandsons, and son-in-law. Through the years, he played in many golf scrambles and took home multiple plaques and trophies. His senior yearbook quote, "In thy face I see the map of honor, truth, and loyalty." is a testimony to life.

Jerry was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He attended many of his nieces and nephews' mission farewells and homecomings. He was also present at his grandchildren's blessings and baptisms.

Jerry is survived by: his wife - Kelly of Kimberly, Idaho; his three children: daughter - Lyndsey (Rob) Anderson of Twin Falls, Idaho, sons - Jeremy Gibbons of Kapa'a, Hawaii and Cody (Kelsi) Gibbons of Pocatello, Idaho; granddaughter - Waitlee Anderson; grandsons - Teagan Anderson, Cougar Anderson, Pinager Anderson, Knox Anderson, Gavin Gibbons, and Grayson Gibbons; sister - Joyce (Bruce) Dye of Rexburg, Idaho; brothers - Larry (Judy) Gibbons of Mountain Home, Idaho, Ray Gibbons of Meridian, Idaho, Leland (Marilyn) Gibbons of Vernal, Utah, John (Linda) Gibbons of Monument, Colorado; sister-in-laws - Cindy (Jack) Altemose of Clearwater, Florida, Krissi (Mark) Hansen of Meridian, Idaho and Sheryl Gibbons of Jerome, Idaho; father-in-law - Russell Pate of Fairfield, Idaho; 42 nieces and nephews.

Jerry was preceded in death by: his grandson - Gannon Gibbons; parents - Eugene Gibbons and Doris Durfee Gibbons; brother - Terry Gibbons; sister-in-law - Korri Pate Blodgett; mother-in-law - Rosanell Baugh Pate; and 2 nieces.

A Celebration of Life is planned for March 13, 2022 at 1:00 pm at the Gooding Golf Course, 1951 Hwy 26, Gooding, Idaho. Attendees are encouraged to bring a golf club or their golf clubs. Light appetizers will be served.

Jerry's ashes will be laid to rest under a plaque at the base of his mother, Doris Durfee Gibbons' gravesite at Elmwood Cemetery in Gooding, Idaho.

Cremation arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel.

...but never Compromising the Truth.

...Education and the 2022 Elections continued

Last Tuesday, three members of the San Francisco School Board were recalled and it wasn't even close - 75% of voters were in favor of the recall. (The other 4 board member were not eligible for recall because they had served less than 6 months.) The two primary reasons for the recall were frustrations with school closures and the board's constant focus on social issues that had no benefit to education.

Here in Idaho, the issue of CRT (critical race theory) prompted the legislature to take a hard look at higher education funding. Lieutenant Governor Janice McGeachin assembled a task force to examine indoctrination and CRT in Idaho's education system. While the Lt. Governor's actions were seen by many as a political stunt, this issue has been both scorned as inconsequential by the State Board of Education and extolled as beneficial to education by teacher unions and universities.

Currently, our state legislature is considering several proposals aimed at stregthening parental choice and involvement in education. One of those proposals - a school voucher system - prompted a war of words from the left-leaning Idaho Ed News against the right-leaning Idaho Freedom Foundation. Also, the Idaho Education Association, the ACLU and others are earging Idahoans to "Say No to School Vouchers." Issues like this, as well as the fact that our public schools account for over half of Idaho's General Fund, is making education a major topic of discussion for this year's political candidates.

With redistricting and retirements, experts are estimating that Idaho may have 35 to 40 new legislators next year. Our area, which has been split into new districts will have new faces asking for our votes. The list will not be official until the filing deadline (March 11th) but some candidates have announced their intent to run for positions within the new Legislative District 24, including former member of the house, Steve Miller from Fairfield. Chenele Dixon (Kimberly) and Glenneda Zuiderveld (Twin Falls County) will also be running in District 24.

Earlier this month, State Senator Michelle Stennett annouced she will not be seeking reelection in District 26 (she has served Idaho for 12 years). This, along with the addition of Jerome to that district, will make for an interesting election in May as well as this fall.

Other education related proposals the Legislature considering:

Parents with young children — A competing approach to funding all-day kindergarten emerged Teachers — Teachers could receive money to pay off student loans, receive a master's degree School employees — Health insurance funding rules could be altered Charter teachers — A bill eases qualifications for charter school teachers Substitute teachers — Drug testing could become mandatory Administrators — Bonuses for 23 administrators who were to receive their master educator premiums Counselors — licensing requirements could change Bus drivers — A "safety bill" would allow buses to go faster Trustees — The House voted to ban districts from running repeat bond elections Students — A bill expanding eligibility for a state scholarship bounced, will be rewritten Taxpayers — School levy spending would be reported and printed on the ballot All Machine Shop Services Competitive Part Prices All Makes & Models ~ Domestic, Foreign In Frame & Overhaul Kits
