My First Wild & Wonderful Winter at Willow Creek
by Alan Gold What is your strategy when the cabin fever demons come creeping into your life and mind? Yes for the record I have to admit to some depression during my first winter in Camas County. The “Gold Retreat”, as I’ve penned the place, has been over 35 years in the making. Even though I’m originally from Idaho, born in Twin Falls, raised in Tuttle and graduated from Hagerman High School in 1976, I’ve been living and working in no fewer than eight western states, most recently in Arizona. But getting back to my home state has been my “riding into the sunset” dream for all those years. Some people have asked me why Fairfield and Camas County? My simple answer is nostalgia since my Father and Grandfather used to hunt for elk in the Soldier Mountains so many years ago. And of course my love for the outdoors and all things peaceful also lend itself to finding a piece of land to establish my final nest. A place where my friends and family can visit and enjoy the beautiful scenery including the brightest stars in the darkest night skies and wildlife that I’m already experiencing! Oh yes the wildlife… what I have seen so far is: 3 majestic bull elk, a beaver, chukars, several sage grouse, some mountain blue grouse, more deer& antelope than I can count, coyotes, and my sister even saw a moose on her way over to visit me the first weekend I moved here. I also had a close encounter one morning at 5:30am on my way to Boise when over 200 elk crossed highway 20 in front of me and I was barely able to stop my jeep in time otherwise you might have been reading about me in the obituary section. So back to my opening line! I guess the lonely nights caught me off guard. There are only so many movies in Hailey to escape to. Only so much peach cobbler from Jim Dandy’s to enjoy and how many rum on the rocks can one person drink from The Cliff? Eventually all things lead back to the GOLD RETREAT and the winter blues set in. My first snowmobile ride ended in getting stuck in deep snow and my first BBQ on the back deck ended in disaster. After firing up the grill and putting some carrots in boiling water on the stove I went back outside to put the chicken on when the door closed behind me. So I find myself locked out of the house at 9 pm in pitch black night, wearing nothing more than my underwear and no shoes with two feet of snow on the ground and a fire hazard brewing in my kitchen. Unfortunately the spare key outside the house had already been used a week before and I had forgotten to put it back. The enclosed picture is evidence enough of what happened next. Spring is in the air now and all I can say is THANK YOU to some helpful neighbors and a new season and warmer weather!

HELP! HELP! - It looks like some unbranded thin longhorn steers appear to be on the move and have strayed in Gooding city! A long horn steer was recently sighted at the Stampede Burger & immediately disappeared (maybe fresh hamburger?) while another made it to Ziggy’s in Bliss. Five others were sited at Steve’s Quick Stop, Jason’s Edward Jones, Ted’s T & L Power, Franklin Bldg Supply, & Faulkner Land and Livestock. With the high price of beef people seem to be claiming them as their own! A really wild unbranded white steer made it to the Boise Capital Building and Governor Butch Otter’s crew immediately corralled the steer and is taking it home to be cared for and agreed to see that it gets back to Gooding. If you’re interested, Call Charmy LeaVell, Sec/Treasurer Idaho Rodeo Hall of Fame at (208) 539-0202. There may be an award available.
Legislative Update from Donna Pence Senator Stennett and I work very closely and effectively together and I appreciate the opportunity she extended to me to include my impressions of the Legislative Session from the House perspective in this end of session letter. The session started off focused on education and a hint of some progress on transportation issues. There had been well publicized pre-session pushes for Medicaid expansion, add the words, internet sales tax recovery, local option taxes, and early childhood education, but soon it became evident we were not to expect those items to get any play. Internet sales tax progress was limited to the establishment of a fund in which to deposit revenue when we start collecting the tax. What did get attention was legalized discrimination for religious reasons, nullification of EPA, guns on campus, a wolf killing fund, and some limited progress in education and health issues. Why the lack of progress? To protect republican lawmakers from having to make politically unpopular decisions with them facing a tough primary in May. All this came with assurances those above mentioned issues that help families and our local government would be addressed next session when no election lurks. The most action came around education. There was progress on 10 of the 21 taskforce recommendations: We will train schools boards and administrators on Strategic Planning which facilitates goal planning and reaching those goals which will be central in the reform we have in store. There was some restoration of operational funding, leadership premiums were developed with local input in how they will be applied, professional development funding increased to help teachers with the switch to Common Core, and continued funding for broadband and wireless technology installations. JFAC increased the budget 5.1% or around $66 million for 2014-15 which is twice what the Governor asked. While this is progress the reality is that we are still $48 million down from 2009 and that number does not factor in the 14,000 new students, increases in insurance, and inflation occurring since that time. If it did the total would have been more like $170 million down. Why haven’t we been better at closing this gap for our schools? One only has to look at the tax relief the legislature chose to give these last two years rather than starting build back education and the other agencies that absorbed those horrific cuts during the recession. All those cuts did is to shift the taxes back onto the property tax payers in the form of school supplemental levy’s. Just last week 40 of 48 districts passed a levy to keep their districts solvent while providing the needed educational programs. Higher Education also received a much needed boost in revenue, but likely not enough to prevent a further increase in tuition for students next

year. Such increases makes it fiscally impossible for many students to complete 1,2 and 4 year courses at our colleges and universities. Building our economy demands we train our children and our present minimum wage earners for jobs that will allow them to adequately support their families. We saw a Bill to build three Mental Health Crisis centers pass, but funding was allowed for only one this year. We restored dental care for Medicaid recipients. S1337 Justice Reinvestment Act started reform of our prosecuting attorney system and parole and pardons systems. We increased pay for our Judges. $15 million was appropriated to various water storage projects and an additional $5 million went to recharge infrastructure. As of the writing of this letter we have yet to pass any tax relief. Finally H546a the Reimbursement Investment Act gives the Department of Commerce a great tool to draw new business and help existing ones expand and create jobs. It is patterned after Senator Lacey and my Value Add Bill of last year only expanded to all companies. It provides the tax incentives after the company starts to make money insuring efficient use of our tax money. I was proud to be one of the a co-sponsor of this bill with Director Sayer. Unfortunately the 2014 session will be remembered for incidents of impropriety involving the State such as the Treasurer shifting accounts to cover bad investments, suspect Department of Administration Broadband contracts causing e-rate money paying for those contracts to be withheld temporarily or maybe even permanently, the Superintendent of Public Instruction extending the wireless contract with that same company to 15 years without seeking legislative approval, and the falsifying of time sheets by Corrections Corporation of America that lost them the contract to run Idaho’s only private prison and caused the FBI to be called in to investigate the situation further. The good old boys network needs culling out and electing our Democrat candidates for statewide office would be a good start to improving the ethical atmosphere here in the Capitol. I continue on the Education, Natural Resources, and Agriculture Committees and have added the Ways and Means Committee this year. It has been a learning experience for me to serve as the Minority Caucus Chairman these last two years. It has increased my work load as I help guide our talented Democrats through process here in the Capitol. I also am busy during the interim serving our constituents with appointments to the Idaho Natural Resources Water Committee, Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education, Idaho Commission on Indian Affairs, CSG River Governance Committee, Idaho Rural Partnership, and Intermountain Forestry Task Force. It has been an honor and a pleasure to serve as your Representative this year. I appreciate the correspondence I have had with many of you and encourage everyone to contact us with suggestions for legislation.
