Lincoln County Animal Shelter

Last Wednesday morning, February 21st, a Grand Opening was held for a new animal shelter in Shoshone, Idaho.

Three years ago, the residents of Lincoln County started fund raising for a animal shelter. The city had a couple of kennels north of town for temporary housing of stray dogs, but without heating or cooling, keeping animals during the winter or midsummer was not possible.

Lincoln County Commissioner, Joann Rutler was concerned about dogs wandering around town, especially with two major highways running through the community. She enlisted the help of Sheriff Rene King to help get the project going. The county had a location for the shelter on the west side of town with a cement foundation already in place. With a little modification, it was a perfect place for the shelter.

Community members stepped up, not only with monetary donations, but materials and labor to build the facility. The project has raised over $100,000 with about $67,000 going towards construction costs. The rest will help with the ongoing cost of utilities and veterinary expenses.

The main goal of the new shelter is to have a safe place for animals that have become separated from their owners. If your have lost your pet, go to their Facebook page "Lincoln County Animal Shelter" or call 208-886-2250.

Cup of Tee

In the old West, cattle pastured on open plains, mountains, and forests. The brand placed on each animal was the identification of one's livestock. Many times the cattle were scattered in small groups. Many of the cattle owners would come together to round up the cattle in large groups in order to separate their own stock. In a sense, the "roundup" was a means to "gather to make more." Cowboys still do this practice today.

The other day I was getting some fuel at a major fuel supplier, whom I shall not mention (Flying J). I got some snacks and went to pay for them and my fuel.

At the register the clerk asked me if I wanted to "round up" my change. That caught me a little off guard. Do they no have qualified people to count change to me? Are they getting lazy in the accounts receivable department? Are they only wanting to use whole dollar amounts to work their books? Is change a rare commodity?

I don't see the company lowering the price of fuel to "round up" my pocket book. In Idaho the fuel people always keep us paying a higher price. Why do I want to give them my extra change just to make them more fuel profits?

If a corporation collects my extra change, they make a bigger profit. Needless to say, they get a huge tax write off if they donate

by Tee Hurd

to a charity (if the cash makes it that far).

After talking with the clerk, I found that she averages 300 transactions per day. Each clerk does about the same. So... if each transaction gathered them 50 cents, that is $150 a day per clerk. Four clerks would gather $600 a day. In a month, those four clerks could gather $18,000. In one year, $216,000 would be gathered, which would be a chunk of change to my personal bank account.

So many people don't like to deal with change, thus they donate it. Change in one's pocket can be heavy and awkward. The average person goes through about $600 in change in a year. On the average, a gallon of change is about $250. To me that's a better place than a corporate "round up."

Approximately 66-74 percent of change becomes lost or is taken out of circulation... The coronavirus pandemic caused more people to keep their change... The average household can produce about $56 in change... With these kinds of facts, do you want to "round up" your change?

When you are asked to "round up," think where your change is going. Donate to the charities you choose and not what someone else dictates you charity donation. Remember, to "round up" is to gather for more. The round up is for the brand... yours.

This is my “Cup of Tee” 4 bits rounded up.

Letter to the Editor

After reading the front page editorial "Keeping Libraries Safe?" in the Feb 21st issue of The Courier News I feel something needs to be said in defense of libraries and librarians. Do the people who continue, like a broken record, to call for reviews of books they consider offensive honestly think that Librarians are trying to lure their children to "The Dark Side" because they are a bunch of amoral degenerates?

I do not see libraries as promoting, pushing or peddling anything. They are PRESENTING information. And yes, some of that information might not coincide with someone's belief system or values. On the other hand it might. So why do the former think it is their responsibility to police what the latter read? It isn't difficult for librarians to know what books are worthy of a spot on their shelves and what aren't. They have the training and tools and are serious about making libraries a welcoming, safe place to gain knowledge. And they have been doing so for hundreds of years.

As far as having access to these "types of books", ever hear of the internet, school conversations and peer discussions? Kids are not as stupid and unaware as adults believe them to be. Presenting Information of all kinds is helpful to any library user and that includes kids. What children and libraries need protection from is people with "good" intentions.

Roxane Olson

Update: Last Thursday, the Idaho Senate rejected Senate Bill 1289 with a 17 to 18 vote. The bill aimed to address both the House’s concerns about book content and the Senate’s concerns about the process for challenging a book’s placement. The legislature has received a lot of pressure to address this issue, and even though the combination library bill between the two chambers failed, there may be another attempt by lawmakers to pass something before they adjourn the legislative session.

Anthony "Tony" Adam Bozzuto

Tony Bozzuto, 69, a resident of Shoshone, passed away Thursday, February 22, 2024 in his home in Shoshone surrounded by his best friend, family, and ex-wife.

Tony was born on February 15th, 1955 in Gooding, Idaho to Victor Bozzuto and Rae Bozzuto. He was raised and educated in Shoshone and graduated from Shoshone High School in 1973. During high school, his life revolved around school, sports and the store. He got involved in sports so that he didn't have to work at the store. He participated in track, bowling, baseball and was the student body vice president at Shoshone High. He loved to cruise and "drag Main." He had an orange Chevy two-wheel drive pickup with cherry bombs which was very popular with the ladies.

Growing up, Tony was an avid skier. He and his best friend, Mike went skiing almost every weekend during the winter. He also loved hiking and camping with the boys. He played the drums at several of the local watering holes which drove his father nuts because his drum set just happened to be located in the basement. After high school, he spent some time in South Albania and did quite a bit of bird hunting. He had a ping pong table at South Abania and played frequently. He also played with his remote-control cars and planes. He had his own special Porsche and loved sports cars.

Tony loved being social with small groups of people and loved to gamble. He even got some of his friends into gambling. He loved rocking out to Styx, Reo, James Gang, ZZ Top, Frank Zappa, Boston and Black Sabbath on the Altec Lansing speakers. Tony sponsored and played in several bowling leagues and threw the first sanctioned league 300 game at Mountain View Lanes.

During and after high school, Tony worked at Bozzuto's Furniture for his father at their family-owned store. In 1983, Tony officially purchased the store from his father and has been running it ever since. Tony was a great boss and many of his employees have memories of having lunch with him at several of the local establishments. His business was the hub for many to meet and socialize; and of course, participate in the weekly "picks."

Aside from being a small business owner, Tony coached legion baseball for years. He was a positive influence on many people's lives and was an integral part of many childhoods. Once his daughters, Dani and Shelby, were old enough to throw a softball, he switched his coaching sport to softball and was able to coach both girls until they were too old to play summer league. He took both girls to championships.

Tony was an amazing father and supported his daughters in everything they did. He was the kind of Dad who never missed a game. He would always wait until after the Star-Spangled Banner to say "Play ball!" He was the biggest cheerleader

of the pep club and is known for wearing the feathered hat at state volleyball where he ran from one end of the gym to the other doing the wave with the crowd.

Tony was a dedicated community member of Shoshone. His daughters tried to get him to move to Lewiston with them, but he would never budge because he loved Shoshone. He participated in many different groups and organizations in the area and always was the first to volunteer to donate. Tony used to run the community softball game at the 4th of July Celebration in town. Many people looked forward to this event and he donated to it every year to keep it alive. Tony was also a valued member of the Shoshone School Board and served as the board chair. He started in 2007 and has served ever since.

He always volunteered his business to be part of the homecoming window painting extravaganza and didn't mind being "hit up" to donate to any club or group through the school.

Tony was a member of the board in his Brand Source group and would sometimes travel for business. He loved the people in this group and enjoyed being around them on his trips.

Tony loved going grocery shopping in Twin and somehow, always unbeknownst to him, ended up in Jackpot. He said the truck just went into auto-pilot. Tony was a life-long San Francisco Giant's fan. It didn't matter where he was at, if he saw someone with Giant's gear on, he would yell to them "Go Gi's!" He had a nickname for every person he knew and built relationships with many people over the years with his sense of humor and endearing personality. Some even called him Prince Charming.

Tony is survived by his children - Dani Bozzuto and Shelby Berglund; his siblings - Vicky Hranac Boise, ID, Bob Bozzuto and Bill Bozzuto; and his two grandchildren - Cannon Berglund and Zarri Berglund; his nieces and nephews - Krisie Bozzuto, Kellie Paul, Jason Bozzuto and Robbie Bozzuto.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Shoshone Education Foundation or any Shoshone Activities Club.

Tony's memorial service will be held on Friday, March 8, 2024, at 3:30 p.m. in the Shoshone High School new gymnasium. Following the service will be snacks and socializing in the Shoshone School Cafeteria.
