JROTC In Gooding Our young adults face many decisions as they go through high school - college, trade school, military, or sometimes they just want to find a job. Regardless of where they ultimately end up, those high school students who choose to participate in JROTC learn a multitude of skills that help them succeed no matter what they do. With the National Guard Armory, Gooding is a natural place to start up a Military Science Program, and with its stated goal of promoting patriotism, North Valley Academy is the perfect school to take the lead in promoting that program. In December of last year, five students from North Valley and one student from Gooding High School became the first cadets to join the pilot program in Gooding. Four days a week, these six young men meet at the armory under the leadership of their instructor, Staff Sergeant Shane Rock, to learn the elements of leadership, drill instruction & ceremonies, military customs, uniform inspections, physical fitness, marksmanship, and military history. In addition to the classroom instruction, these students also participate in community service, hands-on training in practical skill such as first aid, and other extra-curricular activities. The ultimate goal of this program is to teach our young men
Max Peterson, Joe Hampton, Travor Lamm, Davic Votroubek, Nick Wade, and Alex Taylor. and women the kind of self-discipline, self -confidence, and leadership skills they need to face the challenges of adulthood. There is no obligation for the participants in this program to join the military when they graduate, but they are encouraged to actively take on their rights, responsibilities, and privileges as American citizens.
95 Years of the American Legion The American Legion was born on March 15, 1919, when the first American Legion caucus was held by members of the American Expeditionary Force in Paris. Last Saturday, a celebration was held at the Fairfield Legion Hall with a traditional St. Patrick’s Day Dinner. As part of that celebration, the Elmer Miller Post #19 honored some very special guests. Camas High School Graduate, Mickenzie Boggs, has just been appointed to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point - a first for the town of Fairfield. On hand to congratulate him and to present young Mr. Boggs with a West Point Pennant, were Brigadier General John Goodale, Lieutenant Colonel. (Retired) Albert Gomez, and his father, Harold Boggs. The Fairfield American Legion is proud to be part of sending this young man off to West Point.

from the Editor The matter of Martin vs. the Camas County Board of Commissioners was laid to rest over a month ago, and yet there are those for whom this issue will never be put to rest. For those individuals, it is not enough to just leave it alone, they must have the last word. Hence, on page nine you will find a press release from the Camas County Commissioners. For those of you who may have read a similar “press release” in the Weekly Beaver about a week ago, that document was not approved, and does not represent the view of our current commissioners. While there are statements in this new document that are questionable, it is time to just let it be and go on with our lives.

Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling Once she’d invented Harry Potter and monstrous fame overtook her life, my only question is why would J.K. Rowling ever bother writing another word except to sign her name to royalty checks? Or is that just me? Perhaps the answer is that writers write. They can’t help it, and they can’t stop it. And make no mistake, Ms. Rowling can write. In Casual Vacancy, she has created a small town in England with all its quaint beauty and as the British say, “lovely, lovely.” What she didn’t do was put any nice people in her town. The only guy I may have rooted for was killed off in the first paragraph which is what created “a casual vacancy” the term that describes how a dead city councilman is replaced. She has assembled a cast of liars, cheaters, whiners, foul-mouthed drug addicts- and that‘s just the women. Wait ‘til you meet the men! She killed a few people off at the end and I must admit that I nearly stood up and cheered (except I was lying in bed). Those who are interested in the mundane life of modern England (which is disgustedly much like modern America i.e. also disgusting), then this is your book.

Gwendolyn Prince Krahn Gwendolyn Prince Krahn, 96, a resident of Newbury Park, California, and formerly of Fairfield, passed away March 9, 2013 in Newbury Park, California. Gwendolyn (Gwen) Prince was born in Gooding, Idaho on February 24, 1917. She was born in the family home and was premature. The doctor told her family she would not survive, but her Aunt Annie Prince put her in a shoe box on the oven door to keep her warm and she survived for another 96 years. Gwen grew up on the family farm and rode to school in a wagon pulled by horses and in the winter they rode in a sled. She graduated from high school in Gooding and went to nursing school in Idaho Falls, Idaho at the LDS Hospital where she graduated as a registered nurse in 1938. Gwen says of her time growing up in Gooding, “We had many family dinners; our homes were all in the same community so we had many friends and neighbors that we grew up with”. During Gwen’s last year of nursing school, Ben Krahn proposed to her. After working as a charge nurse in the hospital at Idaho Falls she returned home to care for her ill Mother and work at the Gooding Hospital. Ben Krahn told Gwen that he had waited long enough and she became Gwendolyn Prince Krahn in a ceremony held in her folk’s home on October 5, 1939. Gwen recounts in her life history, “I resolved I would never marry a farmer but I ended up doing it.” Gwen moved to Fairfield, Idaho to live with Ben on their farm for all of her 44 years of married life. She had many experiences both as a farm wife and mother and as a nurse. There were many times when Gwen was called to give medical care as a health care provider and good neighbor. Fairfield was an isolated rural community with the closes hospital or doctor over an hour away. Gwen made the difference in the lives of many people being available to provide emergency care until more medical services were obtained. Gwen says of her years on the farm with Ben, “We had good years and good crops and bad years and no crops. Good thing we had the cattle to help out.” Gwen and Ben had four children Wally, Kent, Ellen and David. She said most everything they did was as a family and there was always something to do. In 1983 Ben died suddenly and Gwen said, “From my marriage with Ben I learned how important it is to do things together. Whether it be family, school, church, community, just do it together.” Gwen lived all of her married life of 44 years in Fairfield, Idaho and she thought that is where she would spend the rest of her life. She had once been told in a blessing that she would live in many communities and that isn’t what she had planned. After Ben died she ended up moving to several communities in

...but never Compromising the Truth.
HERE I AM AT THE ”CRABFEED" WHERE THE H**L ARE YOU?? Your community American Legion is ALWAYS there to provide a building for your functions, parties, business meetings, community gatherings wakes etc. This includes a warm building, power, a kitchen to meet your needs, and help by the Legion members. The few ”fund raisers" by the legion, this being the PRIMARY ONE ANNUALLY, the proceeds after the bills are paid, the money goes back TO YOUR COMMUNITY!! Think for a minute... 1. How many of YOU FAIRFIELD FOLKS, asked to use the Legion Hall, during the year and never paid a dime to support this effort? 2. How many of you folks have asked for a donation for your ”rinko dinko" projects? 3. How many of you folks ask the Legion to bury your loved ones? 4. Who do you think puts flags on the streets and the cemetery plots of YOUR DECEASED family members? The Legion is always there for you, and this is how you show your gratitude. Am I in error here thinking MANY folks in this county think they are "ENTITLED RELIEFERS", and the world owes them a livin! The Legion Hall is just one of their entitlements. = WRONG! THE AMERICAN LEGION has a function to HELP SUPPORT YOUR COMMUNITY, and you don’t have the common courtesy to buy a ticket and contribute. You should be real PROUD OF YOURSELF! You have no idea of the folks that contribute time and money to keep the Legion doors open and a service to you, most folks never ask for anything in return. This is their community and they are doing what is right. I commend them for it. Now about the rest of you "habitual societal leaches" and you know who you are! It's the inept leadership in Camas County that has led to this attitude. I was here before most of you were born, and saw the various functions that the American Legion conducted and the fine leadership in the county, where all of us could be proud to be from Camas County, our roads were good, our community was prosperous, our school was excellent and did you know that there were more College Graduates, per capita, than any county in the state. Camas Prairie led the way! You look in the mirror and you will find the reason!

Cup of Tee
Usually at family or friend gatherings, there is a frosted cake. It is kind of like a tradition in its own right. They are always tempting - sitting there by themselves – uncut. Then …you realize someone has beat you to the very temptation you are ready to scold someone else for. The inexperienced frosting dipper will usually go for the middle of the cake which is usually the highest point of the cake (also lowest point of frosting). An experienced frosting dipper will go to the corner of the cake where the frosting is deeper. If the cake is a layered cake, the very bottom is probably the best place since knives have flat edges and there is a little overlap. Usually, the person who passes the cake last gets the blame for the finger scrape in the frosting. As you remember from last week, I attempted my first Dutch oven cooking. I did a pork loin set up in one Dutch oven and I tried a cake in the other that I stacked on top. I can say for certain that I am no cake maker even without the Dutch oven! I made a chocolate cake with a cherry topping (or actually bottom). Remember the “Cool Whip” from last week. That was going to be the easy made frosting. The cake that I baked in the Dutch oven seemed to have its problems- namely me; the non-cake maker. First I was told not to put eggs in the cake for the Dutch oven bake. Seems odd to me but what did I know about cakes or Dutch ovens? The second thing was the cake didn’t seem to want to cook in a time given. My briquettes as I found, were used up with only outside shells and no heat remaining. Once I loaded up the briquettes again, the cake cooked. Don’t ask me how many briquettes I used or how long I cooked the cake. I did the toothpick trick multiple times until I finally found no dough on the toothpick. I am used to the beginning stage or end stage whereas I got to lick the beater or spatula. I did get the cake done and brought it in on my sister’s porch awaiting the moment it could be served after dinner or not. As I passed by the cake several times bringing stuff inside the house, I couldn’t resist to see if the cake was okay. Finally the finger on the side of the cake (minus the frosting) was Tee. But wait, my brother-in-law would get the blame since he was behind me. My sister who had much more cake experience pegged the cake scraper. This is my “Cup of Chocolate flavored Guil-Tee”

...but never Compromising the Truth.
Martin Case Against Camas County Decided in Favor of the County Press Release from Camas County Commissioners After six years and approximately ten different causes of action before three separate district court judges and two Supreme Court decisions, George Martin’s case against Camas County has been decided. After considerable taxpayer expense, the Courts ruled in favor of the County in all matters heard. Three separate courts, including two unanimous 5-0 decisions by the Idaho Supreme Court, dismissed each of Martin’s counts. In federal court, the Honorable Candy Dale held that none of Martin’s due process rights have been violated. In state court, the Honorable John K. Butler held that though Martin tried to allege that the County failed to comply with certain statutory notice requirements, “Martin himself does not allege and in fact admits that he had notice of and attended all proceedings relative to the adoption of the amended comprehensive plan and amended Zoning ordinance." In short, all of the courts stated that Martin did not have standing and should not have brought his legal actions in the first instance as "Mr. Martin by his own admission has not been harmed by the rezone as to the value of his property." The Supreme Court further concluded that “Martin has failed to show that he has suffered or is likely to suffer an injury.” Though this was strenuously asserted by the County from the onset, only now, six years
The Courier NEWS - 9 later, does Martin concede defeat as noted in the Supreme Court’s February 1, 2013 decision. Though erroneously awarded $72,002.56 in attorney fees by the lower court, Martin now "propcr1y concedes that his award of attorney fees by the district court must also be reversed.” The Supreme Court came to the conclusion that a "review of the record does not reveal an intent by Martin to harass Camas County.” As such, the cost to defend against Martin’s claims falls to the taxpayers of Camas County . Though justice has finally been rendered, we are disappointed that this took six years of litigation before the matter could be put to rest. Janet Croner Ken Backstrom Barbara McMurdo
