2012 Democratic The 20th Annual Gooding Boxing Smoker The Boxing Smoker was held in Gooding last Saturday, March 16th at the Presidential Caucus Gooding High School Gym. The Idaho Democratic Party will hold its 2012 Presidential caucus on April 14th with doors opening at 9:00 a.m. and closing promptly at 10:00 a.m. Registration tables will be set up to qualify new voters so that they may participate in the caucus. To take part in the caucus, an individual must be a registered voter in the county for which they are participating, and pledge themselves as an Idaho Democrat. Gooding County Caucus Chairman David Maestas said, “Selecting a Presidential candidate is always exciting. We are looking forward to gathering Democrats throughout the county to gear up for the 2012 elections. We are especially excited about electing our delegates to the State convention and really hope someone from our county gets elected to go to the National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina.” While one part of the caucus is to select a presidential candidate, an equally important part of this process is the selection of state and national delegates who will help form the Democratic Party platform. Mr. Maestas added that “Special activities for the caucus [in Gooding] will include cinnamon rolls, coffee, tea, and a video of a look at the President’s first term, it’s brilliant.” The Gooding County caucus will be held at: 145 7th Ave. East (south across the street from the courthouse). In Lincoln County, the caucus will be held at: 133 South Rail Street (the Manhattan Cafe). The Camas County Democrats will caucus with Blaine County at the Wood River High School (1250 Fox Acres Road).

of a new remote mountain weather station installed in the Soldier Mountains near Fairfield. The “Lower Soldier” station is located above the Soldier Mountain Ski Area at an elevation of 7940 ft. (Latitude: 43.48806; Longitude: -114.88644). The station measures new and total snow depth, temperature, and relative humidity. In conjunction with an existing wind station at 9530 ft. on Peak 2 (“Upper Soldier”), this new weather station will provide critical data necessary to provide more accurate avalanche information for the Soldier area. The SNFAC provides an avalanche advisory for the Soldier Mountains Friday through Sunday mornings at 7:30am. SNFAC avalanche advisories help backcountry users make safe decisions about where to recreate on the Sawtooth National Forest during the winter months. Hourly data from the remote site is accessible on a realtime basis through the SNFAC website: www.sawtoothavalanche.com/wx_lsold.php The Lower Soldier station was funded through a South Central Idaho Resource Advisory Committee (RAC) Grant, with matching funds provided by the Sawtooth National Forest Avalanche Center and the non-profit Friends of the SNFAC. Assistance from the Fairfield Ranger District was instrumental to the completion of the project. The station instruments will be removed for the summer months to protect them from animals and potential lightening strikes.

“Jesus Is Alive”
from the Editor
Easter Cantata, Sunday, April 8 at 11 AM
Last week, a national ad campaign against smoking started hitting the air waves. Primarily aimed at trying to prevent children from starting the cigarette habit, these ads were precipitated by a recent report on teenage smoking. While the numbers vary from school to school, a lot of kids start smoking in high school or earlier. This is a big concern because the earlier a person starts smoking, the more likely they will become addicted. The other problem is that the chemicals in cigarettes (and other drugs) are particularly harmful to the growing and developing bodies of children. The government and anti-smoking groups put the blame for teenage smoking on tobacco companies who are accused of targeting teens with advertising. In an effort to curb or offset part of this, the federal government has been trying to force tobacco companies to print graphic pictures of the dangers of smoking on cigarette packages. The courts, however, have ruled that the Constitution does not allow this because it violates free speech. The battle over tobacco advertising is far from over. Yet, there is one thing we should all know – anti-smoking advertising is not very effective. Anti-smoking advertising generally targets the results of smoking (cancer, breathing issues, death) in an attempt to scare kids into not smoking. Unfortunately, most kids just don’t believe those things will happen to them, and in some cases, graphic images can become “cool” collectors items. Something else we should all know, is that most teenagers stop smoking once they leave high school. Why? Because the intense peer pressure of being grouped together by age is gone, and peer pressure is the primary reason kids start smoking, try drugs, drink alcohol, or engage in a multitude of other unhealthy activities. If we really want to reduce the amount of teenage smoking, we have to combat peer pressure. We have to make smoking “uncool.” The best way to accomplish this is to have other teenagers engage their peers with “reverse” peer pressure. One group in our area that does this is Idaho Drug Free Youth (IDFY). While there are never any guarantees, understanding the real root of a problem is the first step in solving that problem. Showing scary pictures to kids is never going to keep them from smoking. Equating those who smoke with those who don’t have a facebook account or don’t have the latest cellphone, just might.

The Sea Trolls by Nancy Farmer—this is a fiction/fantasy novel that is a fun read for young adults and adults, also. The story takes place in 793 AD and it centers around eleven year old Jack, his sister Lucy, Norsemen, and many other creatures and characters. It could be called a rich and funny adventure/quest that the reader is certain to enjoy. This book is followed by The Land of Silver Apples which is another adventure with Jack and more new creatures and beings are introduced. Lone Wolf by Jodi Picoult could be rated a five star book. It is about struggles a family overcomes when difficult decisions must be made. The thing that makes it such a compelling read is that main character, Luke Warren, hs done research on wolves by actually living with them. This is a book you won’t want to put down. --------------------------------Remember the Camas County Public Library is now open Monday evenings; the hours for that day are 12:30-8:00 p.m.

Cup of Tee
Did your mom ever make you a shirt that became one of your favorite? Did you have a shirt that made you feel at the top of the world? Did you ever get a shirt that was you written all over it? Everyone has had one or two of these types of shirts in a lifetime. Back when we were in school, mom would make my sisters and two daughters of friends of ours clothes. Many times the outfits were identical even though none of the girls looked alike. (Material was usually cheaper by the yard.) I kept whining to my mom, “You never make me anything!” Finally I guess mom was tired of hearing me whine and complain all of the time. She started making me some western shirts. One of the first ones had a shoulder that wasn’t exact. Maybe when mom measured me that day I was “full of teenager “and my “puffiness” gave bad measurements:) Who knows? Believe it or not it was one of those shirts you could not wear out. I had hoped it would so I could progress to another shirt. Mom did make me one that fit well and I liked it. I was going to a Key Club convention at Disneyland California on July 4, 1976. It was a bi-centennial day for the United States. The shirt was red and white striped with a blue cape (yoke) with white stars. At the time I wore a black Stetson cowboy hat. Being in the hot California sun I stuck out like a sore thumb or a rock star with the shirt/hat combo. When my friends lost me, they would get on an overhead ride of some sort. Then they could spot me anywhere in Disneyland. (I wonder if aliens were viewing me as well!:) The red, white, and blue shirt had later got the sleeves torn pretty bad and became a short sleeved shirt. All good favorite shirts wear out or tear out. They usually have a death that upsets a person. And you know it always happens when you’re wearing one. Dryer or washing machine deaths are usually rare. To me it seems that vehicle grease has a way of jumping onto my shirts, without my permission or even me looking. Naturally it is usually more than you can just spot off. Once I changed the car oil in one of my best shirts and ruined it. It wasn’t because I didn’t roll up the sleeves! But as luck would have it I had bumped the oil drain pan under the car and pushed it over on my shirt. Sometimes the shirt you have to wear most is one you actually hate the most. A lot of those are uniform shirts of a job. Most of the time they are colors that me you want to stick your finger in your throat. I have had shirts that have actually saved me from some impacts of nature. They jumped up to sacrifice themselves for me. Those have included motorcycle wrecks, broken hydraulic hoses and even a radiator explosion. I have come to the conclusion that a shirt whether it is your favorite irreplaceable or the least desired is a good companion. This is my “Cup of Tee” covering my back!

Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument Visitors, Money and Jobs for Local Economy Hagerman, Idaho – A new National Park Service (NPS) report shows that 44,838 visitors in 2011 spent $901,000 in Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument and in communities near the park. That spending supported 14 jobs in the local area. “The people and the business owners in communities near national parks have always known their economic value,” park Superintendent Wendy Janssen said. “Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument is clean, green fuel for the engine that drives our local economy.” Most of the spending/jobs are related to lodging, food, and beverage service (52 percent) followed by other retail (29 percent), entertainment/amusements (10 percent), gas and local transportation (7 percent) and groceries (2 percent). The figures are based on $12 billion of direct spending by 281million visitors in 394 national parks and nearby communities and are included in an annual, peer-reviewed, visitor spending analysis conducted by Dr. Daniel Stynes of Michigan State University for the National Park Service. Across the U.S, local visitor spending added a total of $31 billion to the national economy and supported more than 258,000 jobs, an increase of $689 million and 11,500 jobs over 2009. To download the report visit http://www.nature.nps.gov/ socialscience/products.cfm#MGM and click on Economic Benefits to Local Communities from National Park Visitation and Payroll, 2010. The report includes information for visitor spending at individual parks and by state. For more information on how the NPS is working in Idaho, go to http://www.nps.gov/idaho.
