Idaho Elections Are you one of those people who complains about the way your county is being run? Maybe you think you could do it better. Perhaps you just have the extra time to spend making your community a better place to live. Whatever the reason, it’s time to do something about it... run for one of the open county or state offices. If you want to be on the May 15th Primary Election Ballot, you must file a declaration of candidacy by March 9th at 5 p.m. For county offices, file at the County Clerk’s office. If you want to run for a state office like... the Governor, you have to file with the Secretary of State. Not all county offices are up for reelection this year, so contact your County Clerk’s office for more information.

Gossip In The Workplace... Harassment? Within any group of people who work together on a daily basis there can be times when interpersonal relationships become strained. A certain amount of this is to be expected, but it can easily cross the line into something more. On Monday of this week, Jim McNall from Idaho Counties Risk Management Program (ICRMP) presented a workshop at the Lincoln County Courthouse on communication and how to prevent harassment in the public workplace. Most of us know it is wrong to make fun of, or discriminate against someone because of age, race, religion, gender, etc., but what about things like gossip. We of-
ten think of gossip as the spreading of lies (slander) about an individual, but it is also the sharing of truthful private information that might embarrass a particular person. Just like other forms of harassment, the main concern is the affect on people’s ability to do their jobs. This can be a complicated issue in a public workplace (county or city offices) when an elected official is the harasser. In most workplaces, a person (no matter how high they are in the company) can be fired - elected officials can not. They can be unelected, or they can resign, but they can’t be fired. Here is an example: An elected of-
ficer starts a rumor (a lie) that an employee is not doing their job. That employee loses their job (either by termination or by quitting). A month later, the job is given to a relative or a close friend of the elected official. If an employee really isn’t doing their job, that issue must be dealt with privately (executive session). By starting a rumor, the elected official has violated the employee’s rights, even if the alligation is true. Regardless of whether the termination was voluntary or forced, the rumor was still the cause of the action, and this could end up in litigation. The elected percontinued on page 3.....

...Workplace Harassment continued son, however, will still be in office. The opposite could happen, an employee could spread lies about an elected official, but most harassment comes from a higher ranked person against a lower ranked person. And, telling lies about an elected official is generally protected speech; it’s called politics. ---------------------------------
What should people do to prevent harassment? First of all, DON’T do it. Pay attention to the impact of your words. Words often impact people in ways we do not intend. Second, DON’T be a victim. No one likes a tattle tale, but no one has to put up with harassment either. Third, WATCH out for others. If you see someone being harassed, don’t ignore it. People who are being harassed are often afraid and don’t have the courage to say anything. One other piece of advice Jim McNall had for the people at the workshop was, “If you don’t like someone, at least pretend you do. If you have to talk about your co-worker, make sure you talk to someone who can do something about it... DON’T post it on Facebook.”

Leora Moore Leora Moore, 95, of Lewiston and former longtime resident of Gooding, Idaho, passed away Thursday, February 23, 2012, at the Royal Plaza Care Center in Lewiston. Leora was born April 24, 1916, in Golden City, Mo. She was the second oldest of five daughters born to Frank and Cecil Woods. She moved to Gooding in 1937 and, at that time, married J.C. (Conness) Moore on July 6, 1937. She worked at the M.H. King variety store, the Gooding Toggery, in the Gooding County Clerk and Recorder’s office and as a nurse’s aide at the Gooding County Memorial Hospital. Leora and Conness were avid supporters of the Gooding athletic teams, traveling out of town to attend many games. They enjoyed playing cards and visiting with friends over coffee in the evenings. After her husband’s death in May 1973, she continued her passion for baseball, sewing, crocheting and knitting and was always up for a game of pinochle. In 2003, Leora moved to Lewiston to be near her daughter, Sharon Mink. She lived at Royal Plaza Retirement and Care Center, where she made many new friends, participated in the activities and continued to enjoy her hobbies. She thoroughly enjoyed knitting or crocheting items for her granddaughters-in-law and playing cards, games, watching movies and being with her great-grandchildren. The family wishes to express their appreciation to the staff and employees at Royal Plaza for their kindness and care provided to Leora. She is survived by her daughter, Sharon Mink (Bob) of Lewiston; grandsons, David Mink (Sara) of Boise and John Mink (Sara) of Spokane; and four great-grandchildren, Katie, Hannah, Logan and Addison. She was preceded in death by her husband, parents and four sisters. A graveside service will be at 11 a.m. Tuesday, February 28, at Elmwood Cemetery in Gooding. The Rev. Andy Morris of First Christian Church will conduct the service. Arrangements are under the care of Vassar-Rawls Funeral Home of Lewiston.

GCHS Gala Dinner ~ March 10th The Gooding County Historical Society Events Committee is working on this upcoming year and the events we are planning for the Gooding County Museum. The first event is our annual Gala Dinner and Fundraiser. The theme this year is “150 Years, Riding the Rails”. We are celebrating along with the Union Pacific’s 150 years of railroading. The Gala Dinner will be at the Gooding Country Club on March 10th starting at 6 pm. The dinner tickets are still only $25 each and can be purchased at United Metal (9348581) in Gooding no later than Monday, March 5th. Ilene Rounsefell in Wendell can be reached at 536-5366 for tickets. Sharon Cheney will have dinner tickets for sale and she can be reached at 934-5135 along with Kriss Nelsen at 934-8330. Union Pacific has graciously donated several items for our raffle and silent auction. Some of the other items are: a Jackson Hole 2 night stay at the Antler Inn, a family 4-pack for Zoo Boise, admission for 4 people to the Warhawk Museum in Nampa, 2 tickets to an April performance at the Idaho Dance Theatre, 4 tickets to an Idaho Steelhead Hockey game to name just a few. We have a quilt with the “Hobo” theme. The grand Door Prize will be a Laptop Computer, which you must be there to win it. We have numerous other items, so come and join us. We are happy to mention that helping us with the entertainment will be our local Johnny U, and Jason Lugo and Keith Brown from the Jason Lugo Band formerly the Desert Roan Band. Jason and Keith were part of the band that was the lead-in to the Suzy Bogguss concert at the Gooding County Fair and Rodeo last August. Johnny, Jason and Keith played at Rowdy’s several weeks ago and are exceptional. Jason and Keith have had numerous engagements around the Magic Valley including several at the Canyon Crest Restaurant in Twin Falls. So we will have a little country with Johnny U. and a little country-rock with Jason and Keith. We haven’t had musical entertainment for a number of years, and we are excited to have Johnny U., Jason and Keith this year. The Gooding County Historical Society is trying to build funds to finish the carpeting of the Museum, primarily the community/reference room along with getting bids for and putting up an awning over the front entrance doors. Additionally; we have a project of raising funds to place the Thorn Creek Schoolhouse on a foundation so it can be open to the public. We have several grants we are applying for which are mainly for preservation of artifacts and different exhibit materials. The GCHS Events Committee is lining up speakers from the Idaho Humanities Council with our first speaker being on April 18th at the Gooding Museum at 7 pm with Arthur Hart who will speak about Idaho’s Railroad History. Admission is free and donations are always welcomed. You may want to come early to ensure the best seating possible. Mr. Hart is Director Emeritus of the Idaho State Historical Society, and is the author of many articles and books on Western history and
architecture. His illustrated programs on these subjects have been enthusiastically received by civic and professional groups in state, regional and national meetings. He has received many honors for his work in historic preservation and writing, including the American Institute of Architects’ highest award to a non-architect: an honorary membership. Mr. Hart’s slide presentation surveys the major and minor railroads that once covered Idaho with a network of steel rails. Steam locomotives once pulled all Idaho trains until most of the railroads themselves became obsolete. He will discuss what changed all that. Plans and committees have formed for 3 new exhibits to open this spring at the Gooding County Museum. Two meetings have taken place on the Railroad Exhibit and one committee meeting took place on February 18th for the Veterans Exhibit. The Basque Culture Exhibit is being talked about but has yet to meet. If you have stories or memorabilia on any of these exhibits, please contact Coy Jones at the Museum (934-5318). The Museum opens to the public on April 6th and 7th. Our hours will be 10 am to 4 pm every Friday and Saturday from April through October. We are looking for more volunteers and have several projects to work on. --------------------------------As a non-profit 501-(C) 3 Gooding County Historical Society and Museum, we can’t do what we do without your continued contributions and support. We hope you will be excited with our other upcoming events this year. Come to the Gala Dinner to find out more about them. For more information contact: Gooding County Historical Society - P.O.

Cup of Tee
Idaho’s eight largest city in 1942 had no running water, no sewer systems, no paved streets, no stone buildings and the residences had no freedom to move anywhere in Idaho. How could a city of this size be planned without common city services? The town wasn’t planned as a city to operate in a free society. It was a concentration camp for Japanese Americans. This town was known as Camp Minidoka It is approximately 17 miles northeast of Twin Falls, Idaho or just north of Eden, Idaho in Jerome County. The town consisted of 950 acres with the population near10,000 persons. There were 650 buildings built by the Morrison Knudsen Company. Houses were constructed with low grade 2 x 4 lumber and tar paper. The houses had no interior walls, no insulation, and were heated by coal stoves. With a war going on and rationing across the country, do you think coal fuel was an utmost priority? (Likely not.) The high dessert located area saw temperatures of 104 degrees in the summer and 20 – 30 degrees below zero in the winter. Five miles of barbed wire and eight guard towers topped the town’s perimeter. Hunt was one of ten concentration camps for Japanese Americans during World War II. In addition there were two in California, one Utah, one in Wyoming, two in Arizona, one in Colorado and two in Arkansas. Upon the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 by the Japanese, the Presidental Executive Order #9066 was placed in effect. This was an order by President Roosevelt to create a War Relocation Board. For security reasons the Japanese Americans were to be removed from the West Coast. Nearly 115,000 Japanese Americans were relocated to the ten concentration camps off the West Coast grid. The Japanese Americans were usually given only a days notice of relocation. Needless to say none of them were advised that they were going into cold climates not similar to their current living space. They were shipped out on trains with what they could carry on their person. Their businesses were said to be put in protection. Most of the businesses were looted, assets were frozen, and ending up being sold. Most of the internees of Hunt, Idaho were from Portland, Oregon; Seattle, Washington; and Alaska relocation centers. With Applications for Leave Clearance, the Japanese could join the United States Military if they showed no allegiance to Japan. The 442nd Regiment Combat Team of the United States was formed from the Japanese American concentration camps. They fought in the Italian Campaign and were the most decorated unit with Minidoka having the greatest enlistments and causalities.’ Camp Minidoka Hunt has since been disassembled. The internment camp was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 10, 1979. In 2001 it was established in the National Parks System. 2001, under President Clinton, Minidoka became a national monument. This is my “Cup of Tee” for the Hunt. Hunt, Idaho 1942

from Your Local Republicans Leaders ----------------------------------Lee Barron, the chairman of the Camas County Republican Central Committee, urges all Republicans to participate in this year’s electoral process to pick the Republican nominee for the general election. Barron said that this is a new process for Idaho and that in some sense it will be on the job training for everyone. He outlined the procedure as follows: The doors of the Legion Hall will open at about 6:30 p.m.; as the participants enter, they will have the opportunity to register to vote and will be asked to sign a declaration that they are Republicans, at least for this primary; after the sign-in, each person will be given a tally token for the voting; in the first round of voting, you may vote for any of the sanctioned candidates which are George Romney, Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, and Buddy Roemer. Candidate representatives and caucus participants will have the opportunity to speak on behalf of their candidate. As soon as the votes are cast, they will be openly counted. If none of the candidates has a clear majority, the one with the least votes will be dropped from the contest and round two of the voting will begin, and so on until one candidate has a majority. When the winner is clear, the results will be announced and the vote of Camas County will be transmitted to the state party. “This is an exceedingly important election … I cannot overstress how important it is for each voting age person participate either in the Republican Caucus or the Democrat Caucus the next night,” Barron said. ---------------------------Gooding County GOP Chairman, Dick Elliott, is excited to host the Republican Presidential Caucus and encourages all Republicans residing in the county to participate in this historic event. It is an honor and a privilege for Gooding County Republicans to be involved in the process of selecting the 32 delegates sent to the National Convention to select the Republican presidential nominee. The Gooding County Presidential Caucus will be held at the 4-H Extension Office at the Gooding County Fairgrounds, 203 Lucy Lane, Gooding on March 6, 2012. Doors will open at 6:00 p.m. and the doors will be closed at 7:00 p.m. Only registered Republican voters will be allowed to vote in the caucus. Participants will be allowed to register to vote and declare their affiliation with the Republican Party on the evening of the caucus. ---------------------------A reminder to all Seventeen-year-olds: If you will be eighteen years old on the day of the General Election (November 6), you are eligible to participate and vote in the GOP Caucus.
