News Sticks & Stones in Shoshone
Between 1987 and 1993, Western Pine Beetle killed over 165,000 trees in south central Idaho, and they continue to a big problem in many of our forests. At natural levels, these insects thin out over-mature, diseased pines, but big infestations can begin to harm health trees as well. This results in large areas of dead trees and adds to the fire danger of our forests. Harvesting the dead trees not only helps reduce the fire danger, it helps control the number of Pine Beetles as well. Because these insects only feed on the inner layer of the bark, most of the lumber is undamaged. Unfortunately, many of the dead trees are too small to make conventional lumber. Twelve years ago, David Zortman saw all of this as an business opportunity, and with the help of his wife Tiffany and his father, he started Sticks & Stones. Located in Jerome County, about seven miles south of Shoshone, they process truck loads of logs into posts, poles, custom lumber, and piles and piles of firewood. They only sold 200 cords of wood in their first year. Today they sell in excess of 2500 cords a year, and with that growth, the Jerome location has become too small. Last month the Lincoln County Planning & Zoning Commission approved an application
which will allow Sticks & Stones to relocated to a 40 acre parcel just north of Shoshone. Truckloads of timber are already piling up at the new location, and over the next several months they will be moving the rest of their equipment to the site. The Zortmans are glad to have more room. Not only will this help them expand their business and offer some new products, but it will also provide a place to build a home.

Bridge Work on U.S. 30 near Hagerman HAGERMAN – Work to complete bridge maintenance and resurfacing will impact traffic on U.S. 30 as it crosses the Snake River. Drivers should expect short delays and restrictions at Gridley Bridge on the Twin Falls/Gooding county line for about three months. The project, expected to begin Monday (March 3), will complete several maintenance items including concrete patching, painting the bridge rail, and roadway resurfacing. The maintenance project will protect against cracking and corrosion, restore the surface strength and skid resistance, and improve lifespan of the bridge deck. While half the bridge is replaced, the roadway may be reduced to one lane and controlled by a temporary traffic signal. A 35-mph speed limit and an 11-foot width restriction will be in effect during construction. Braun-Jensen Inc., of Payette, is the contractor for the $1.39 million project. Gridley Bridge was constructed in 1961 and an average of about 1,900 vehicles pass over it each day. Work is expected to be complete in early June.

The Book Thief
The Courier News
March 5, 2014
by Markus Zusak
I hate to end my year of book reviews with The Book Thief, not because it isn’t a good book, because it is a good book. But because it is so, so sad – yet oddly funny. After all, I have never before read a book written by death (he does not capitalize his name – or is it simply his occupation?), death who says stuff like, “ I like that Grim Reaper schtick, you know, the scythe and black shroud, it’s so tender”, or in describing his relationship to Stalin or Hitler “war is like a new boss who expects the impossible”. He also broke my heart when he said, “even death has a heart”. Gulp. Writing about Hitler’s reign of terror which included not only the targets of his hatred, but his unintended (if that is possible) victims, his own Aryan citizens, who suffered unbelievable deprivation, cannot be a happy story, cannot be a comedy. And yet… This book has won so many awards it needs an extra hundred pages just to list them all. They are deserved. In the last twelve months I have read and reviewed 56 books, the Hub City News and the Camas Courier printed them all. My thanks to them and to my faithful readers (both of you, Ann and Mr. Jan). As they say in the opera, “It ain’t over until the fat lady sings.” So, brace yourselves (and plug your ears) here comes my aria. Ouch – was that a beer mug I just broke? Awesome!

To the Voters of Lincoln County I came to Richfield ten years ago to teach school. 4-H, the Fair, school activities, and my children’s involvement in athletics, have given me the opportunity to get to know many of you. Two years ago when I was appointed to the position of Lincoln County Treasurer I sought to work with and serve the people of our county. I now seek to continue that service by running as the incumbent in the upcoming May Primary. This opportunity has placed me in a position to not only use my accounting and management skills, but also to network with and better understand members of our communities and those across the state who make decisions that influence life in Idaho. Preserving our traditions in the midst of progress will take effort and care by all of us. Please support me in my efforts to do so. As always, it is the goal of my office to provide great service and a user-friendly environment. With your help we can continue to make this happen. Sincerely, Ann Youts ~~~~~~~~~~~ To the Editor of the Courier News: As former trustees of the Gooding School District, we are in full support of current trustees David Reeves, Michael Perry and Marty Bennett and their acceptance of the resignation of Superintendent Heather Williams. Mrs. Williams submitted her resignation as superintendent on January 16 with an effective date of June 30, 2014. This was done of her own free will. As a matter of fact, it was reported in the local media seven different times that Williams is looking forward to her next career move. Trustees should not be criticized for simply accepting the resignation of the superintendent who desires to move on to a new career opportunity. Boards will occasionally have split decisions; but once the decision is made, the board is obligated to pull together and move forward for the good of the district and its students. As former board members with a combined 125 years of experience, we are well aware that the Gooding School District Board of Trustees needs hard-working, dedicated members who are willing to ask the hard questions and make tough decisions, keeping the best interests of the district and its students at the forefront at all times. All thirteen of us agree, David Reeves, Michael Perry and Marty Bennett are exactly that kind of trustee.

...More Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, Recently Cal Gorrell an Inductee of the Idaho Rodeo Hall of Fame passed away. His children Gary and Debbie Gorrell have asked that instead of flowers, donations be made to the Idaho Rodeo Hall of Fame. It is selfless gestures like this that make our rural communities special. We wanted the community of generous contributors and the Gorrell families to know how much their thoughtfulness means to all those who have put so much effort, time and personal money into making the Idaho Rodeo Hall of Fame a success. What a wonderful tribute to Cal and his twin brother Al and his family who was one of the first organizers of the Cowboy Reunion during the Gooding County Pro Rodeo. Lonnie LeaVell, President IRHF

Serving with all Gentleness & Compassion...
While at the phone center paying my phone bill with cash, a lady was quizzing the salesperson about a new phone since her’s had some issues. The salesperson was telling her she needed a smart phone. The lady said to the salesperson a smart phone was one that worked and all she wanted was a simple phone without all the bell and whistles. To the lady’s surprise, the simple phone was going to cost more for the phone and more for the monthly service. That alone irritated me as well. I told the salesperson, “Maybe you don’t understand, simple is many times a little bit better. Besides, we are the people paying the bill. Let us decide what works best in our own situation. Why should less technology cost us more?” My transaction was done so I didn’t to into a twenty minute debate about feeding the cell phone steamroller. It seems liek the cell phone business is trying to operate like our gas companies. They are trying to squeeze you for every cent that they can while making you pay all their expenses. (Oh, by the way, speaking of gas companies, they are still trying to get gasoline up to that $4/gallon mark by the end of May.) In the days of land lines (before cells) you purchased a phone for around $30 to $50 which was yours to keep forever and could go from house to house. You would pay a monthly service charge, excluding long distance. In later years they gave you good or no long distance rates. When you had a problem, a phone repair man would come to your house and repair the problem, usually with no charge. You didn’t have to pay to install telephone poles unless you were a half mile off the grid. When you paid your bill you went to a telephone center and paid your bill with cash or check, and you paid your bill after service was given. The cell phone groups seemed to play with rules opposite of the land lines. You would first pay a high price for a phone. Then you would pay your service bill in advance so they could use your money to build their towers (telephone poles) and pay rent to land owners. Once you had your phone you would be issued a small abount of time to talk. From there they would charge you for going over - long distance was yet another fee. To start this process, you were sold a phone with old technology. Before you figured out how to use your cell, your phone was outdated, putting you back to square one - buying a new phone. Then you got texting and all the other media use you can put on your phone, but... there is additional charges for those as well. For your convience they just take their money out of your account to pay your bill. And to think, you needed phone repair??? Sorry, you have a saleperson working on your phone instead of a computer technician. So... today our phone system is a huge machine that is consuming cash flow as fast as it can to keep rolling. By expired contracts, new phones, added perks and other costs, the cell phone companies are assuring they get your money at sometimes 1500% profit. Who is pay for a simple phone? This is my “Cup of Tee” two rings later.

Local historian Kelly Kast describes her presentation: “Education, culture, and self and civic improvement were every bit as important to Idahoans in the early 1900s as these are to Idaho’s current generations. However, for Idaho pioneers, opportunities to indulge in informational and inspirational stimulation were few and far between. In 1904, the creation of the Circuit Chautauqua meant people living in rural and small-town America could receive the education and uplift they craved. While Chautauquas were held in many Idaho towns, no town in Idaho matched the enthusiasm for Chautauqua Week like Gooding. Every year that Gooding hosted a Chautauqua, people from all over southern Idaho flocked to see the top performers and lecturers of the day. Few are alive now who remember the Circuit Chautauqua, but this unique and intriguing movement and its impact on Gooding County’s beginning years is well worth a second look.” The lecture is free and open to everyone and will be held at the College of Southern Idaho North Side Center, 202 14th Avenue in Gooding. For more information, call 934-8678. –––––––––– Antiques & Collectibles: Saturday, March 15th - 1 to 3 pm Learn about the current market for antiques and collectibles, and how smart collectors and buyers identify values and what investments will be popular.
