ment interference affects numerous diseases including various forms of cancer, Oddly enough, many of these treatments have been tested and are already being use in Europe and elsewhere. While we have right to expect drugs and medical procedures to be reasonably safe, if a person is terminal, what is the harm in letting them try experimental treatments? On Monday of this week, an overwhelming majority of our Representatives in Boise agreed to pass House Bill 481 which gives terminally ill patients a ‘right to
try’ experimental life-saving treatments. Introduced by Representative Melissa Wintrow, this ‘Right to Try’ bill is an effort that will potentially help people extend their lives. This bill also reaffirmed that decisions like this are best made by a patient and their doctor. “People should have the right to try to save their own lives,” said Rep. Melissa Wintrow. “It’s a key belief of mine and of most Idahoans that the government should not have a say in our personal medical decisions,” The bill is now heading to the Idaho Senate.
‘Right to Try’ Bill Passes House
Imagine for a moment that you (or someone you love) have been diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s Disease (ALS). ALS has a 100% death rate, but there is an experimental procedure at Emory University that has reversed ALS symptoms completely. Would you want to try that treatment? Of the nearly 24,000 people who have died of ALS during the last ten years, most of them would have said yes. But, because of FDA (U.S. Food & Drug Administration) regulations, they didn’t have opportunity to make that choice. This sort of govern-

“Gooding College” by Kelly Kast
From 1917 to 1938, Gooding Idaho was home to an excellent college of higher education. Gooding College was started by the Methodist Episcopal Church and was considered one of the finest in Idaho. In this presentation, learn about the fascinating history of the college including its patriotic role in the community during World War I, its tribulations during the Spanish Flu Pandemic, and perhaps most importantly, its role in shaping the City of Gooding and surrounding communities. The college folded in 1938 and the buildings were given to the state to be used as a tuberculosis hospital. What remains of the college is now privately owned. During its heyday, Gooding College had a voice respected by the community it served and the students it taught.

Parents & Patrons of Camas School District 121:
The process of budgeting for Idaho schools has been established by laws passed by the Idaho Legislature. However, currently Idaho’s funding per student, the primary source of educational funding, is 10.9 percent below the 2008 level. As a result, most Idaho district’s have been forced to pass supplemental levies. In fact, the supplemental levy amount throughout the state has increased from 79.1 million to 186.6 million dollars. In the lastnine years, Camas County School District has increased our supplemental levy amount by exactly ZERO dollars. That is a sharp contrast to what other school districts across the state have done. In spite of implementing program reductions, conservative budgeting and frugal spending, we have experienced deficit spending four years in a row. We have had the good fortune to be able to rely upon a healthy fund balance for the past several years but it has become abundantly clear that to maintain even minimal programs we need to follow the path ofother Idaho districts and ask our patrons to approve a $50,000 increase in our supplemental levy. This increase will be used to compensate for the major reduction in state support, including our ongoing technology needs, as well as the drastic reduction in Federal Forest revenues. If approved the March 8, 2016 Supplemental levy will: • Be for $50,000 • Be for one year • Will offset deficit spending in the technology budget • Increase your property taxes by approximately $19.35 per year on a owner occupied home that is valued at $100,000. For the past several years supplemental levies have become a matter of survival for Idaho school districts. Keep in mind that our School Board is one of the few that has not asked for an increase in local funding! They would not do so now if it wasn’t in the best interest of our students! Thank you for your continued support, Jim Cobble, Superintendent of Schools

A week ago I took a drive to the Challis, Idaho, area. The day was sunny. That was a good thing because my heater wasn’t working well. Anyone from our state knows your heater needs to work year-round. I had broke a heater hose earlier in the day and my car was in the shop. Something somewhere wasn’t right because I had no heat. A valve or something must have been bumped. With the sideways V-6 cylinder motor I can’t see anything in my motor compartment area. You can guess my car will be going back to the shop. Sometimes more technology change doesn’t always make it good. After I passed by Mackey, Idaho, I noticed Mount Borah still had some snow. That is a good thing because we need it, and a little more actually. The Snake River and the INL both need the spring run-off. Mount Borah is the tallest peak in Idaho. The more some things change the more they stay the same. Mount Borah is still our tallest peak. While in Challis I had to stop and eat lunch at a new restaraunt named the “Tee Pot.” I figured that was a good fit to extend my “Cup of Tee.” The restaraunt was a little different in its cuizine. The restaraunt wasn’t serving the traditional taters and beef type food that one gets in a cattle ranch area. The food was good and I wished them the best of luck in an area of tradition. Sometimes one needs to accept change, change can be good. I also ended up in Eastern Idaho during my Challis run. With my car being in the shop because parts were ordered, my schedule was way behind. I didn’t have the time to do what I wanted there. I needed to be in Boise, Idaho, to see my daughter in a theatre performance at the Boise Contemporary Theater. I jetted to Boise. That was okay and a good thing cause I wasn’t going to miss the performance. The acting staff performed well! I was glad I could initiate change at a moment’s notice and change my schedule. On the way back to Boise I grabbed a cup of soup to go. I was given my plastic ware wrapped in a napkin and cellephane. I rolled down the road. That was a good thing because I was on a good schedule. Down the road I found my plastic ware was a knife and a fork. I can’t remember the last time I ate soup with a lot of liquid with a fork. Maybe I could start a trendy change of my own... eating soup with a fork. Maybe change isn’t necisary. The day after the play I felt like having something to eat in the middle of the afternoon. I stopped at McDonalds because they were close. I thought maybe I would get the breakfast meal. That was good because breakfast is the only time of day, not a menu. The serving lady told me they were out of scambled eggs and asked me if I could substitute a round egg. I was a little lost. Is a round egg something new? It was the microwave egg they serve in the sandwich (silly me). I laid everything out on my plate and noticed the maple syrip was corn syrup with maple flavoring. Sorry, but with that, there are some things that need to change. This is my “Cup of Tee,” for fifty cents and some change.

the Courier News ~ 888-934-1862
The misspelling of one word changed the histor y of this the Camas Prairie and was ultimately responsible for the Bannock Indian war of 1878. Loss of lives, destruction of propert y, heartache, fear, and distrust were the end result of that misspelled word. On February 16, 1869 the U. S. Senate ratified and the President signed a Treaty stating that “the Bannock Indians would be given reasonable portions of the PortNuef and ‘Kansas Prairie’ countries for a reservation.” It should have read ‘Camas Prairie.’ The Camas Prairie was one of the most valuable possessions of the Bannocks. To be given a part of the Kansas Prairie was totally unrealistic as well as impossible. The Bannocks knew what the treaty was supposed to say and lived by it. They didn’t know, ‘White man no can spell.’ When it became necessary they defended what was theirs. They could not tolerate hogs eating their winter food. Had it read Camas instead of Kansas how different our lives would be today.

Young and Esther Elizabeth Fletcher Young. Boyd was raised in Shoshone and graduated from Shoshone High School.

He loved Shoshone and returning there was a dream come true. He enjoyed visiting with family and friends and playing cards. Boyd is survived by his children, Richard (Barbara) Young, of San Bernardino and Linda (Wally Couture) Young of Portland, Oregon; four grandchildren, two great-granddaughters; and many extended family members and friends. He is preceded in death by his parents, his wife, and eight siblings. Memorial services were held on Saturday February 27, 2016, at the Shoshone Senior Citizen Center.
