Lincoln County Commissioner Resigns
On Tuesday of last week, Lincoln County Commissioner Cresley McConnell turned in a letter of resignation to be effective May 5, 2018. According to his resignation letter, Mr. McConnell has decided to pursue other avenues in his professional career. He has served as a county commissioner since January of 2013. This leaves a vacancy in the Lincoln County Commissioners for District One. There are three individuals running for that seat in the May 15th Primary Election (Don Hudson and Rick Ellis will be on the ballot and Stacey Spellman is running as a write-in), however, the Republican Central Committee must submit a list of 3 nominations to the governor within 15 days of the vacancy. The governor then has 15 days to make an appointment. While it’s not entirely clear, Idaho Code 59-906A seems to require (in this particular case) the nominations and the appointment be made before the election. Common sense would say wait until after the election to fill the vacancy, but that is not a legal choice. If you live in Lincoln County District One and you are interest in filling this vacancy, contact the Lincoln County Republican Central Committee ASAP. The County Clerk’s office can provide additional information.

E.coli Outbreak Reported In Romaine Lettuce
As of April 12, 2018, 35 people infected with the outbreak strain of E. coli O157:H7 have been reported from 11 states. Connecticut 2, Idaho 8, Illinois 1, Michigan 1, Missouri 1, New Jersey 7, New York 2, Ohio 2, Pennsylvania 9, Virginia 1 and Washington 1 (CDC Report). Twenty-two ill people have been hospitalized, including three people who developed hemolytic uremic syndrome, a type of kidney failure. No deaths have been reported. Epidemiologic evidence collected to date indicates that chopped romaine lettuce is the likely source of this outbreak. Most people reported eating a salad at a restaurant, and romaine lettuce was the only common ingredient identified among the salads eaten. The restaurants reported using bagged, chopped romaine lettuce to make salads. Traceback investigations are ongoing to determine the source of chopped romaine lettuce supplied to restaurant locations where ill people ate. At this time, no common grower, supplier, distributor, or brand has been identified. However, preliminary information indicates that the chopped romaine lettuce was from the Yuma, Arizona growing region.
Hospital & Library on the May Ballot Youth Empowerment Services ~ YES Along with several contested races, Gooding County will have ballot questions in May regard-
ing the Gooding County Memorial Hospital District and the Gooding Public Library. Since 1987, the residents of Gooding County have helped fund the hospital through their taxes. In 2006, because the old Gooding Hospital building could no longer meet safety codes, the decision was made to build a new hospital. That same year the Idaho Supreme Court rendered a decision that put constraints on district hospitals that limited their borrowing ability. This challenge lead to a partnership with St. Luke’s and in 2010, the North Canyon Medical Center (NCMC) opened to the public. Because of concerns from the state over a possible monopoly, St. Luke’s withdrew from the partnership in 2016. While this helped with some things, the Hospital Taxing District still puts legal constraints on how NCMC operates. On May 15th, the voters of Gooding County will be asked to dissolve the Hospital District and allow NCMC to operate as an independent, stand-alone, non-profit hospital. This will not affect the quality of healthcare at NCMC because they have already declined to receive the tax monies generated by the taxing district for the last couple of years. While the hospital has been constrained by the taxing district, the Gooding Public Library has been constrained by NOT having a taxing district. Currently, the Gooding Library is only a city library and continued on page 5...
The YES program was created and tasked with transforming mental health for children in Idaho as part of the settlement in the Jeff D. lawsuit. As part of that transformation, families of children with serious emotional disturbances and functional impairments may now (as of Jan. 1) be eligible for Medicaid coverage if their income is up to 300 percent of the federal poverty limit. Liberty Healthcare in Boise is providing free mental health assessments for Idaho children and young adults up to the age of 18 with serious emotional disturbances as part of the Youth Empowerment Services (YES) program. This initial assessment is available at no cost to the family seeking program eligibility. If you know of a child who needs mental health services, including respite, please contact Liberty Healthcare at 1-877-305-3469. Learn more at: youthempowermentservices.idaho.gov

Legislative Update from Representative Steve Miller
Idaho voters deserve the truth about the private property trespass bill, H658, that the Legislature approved this year. House Bill 658 is a consolidation of several sections of Idaho code into one location more clearly defining trespass, property boundary recognition, trespass exemptions and resulting damages and penalties. Put simply, it protects private property rights. A recent attack ad said that this law would “loosen requirements for private landowners to mark their property boundaries.” This is false. It actually raises the standard for signs or marking “in a manner that a reasonable person would recognize as delineating a property boundary.” It was stated that this law would turn “public land users into criminals.” Again, false. This law requires land-owners to mark unfenced boundaries between public and private land. It further requires that unfenced and uncultivated property must be “posted with conspicuous ‘no trespassing’ signs or bright orange or fluorescent paint.” It was stated that it would be a crime if a person crossed “an unmarked property line to fetch your dog or Frisbee.” This statement is false under existing law and will continue to be false under the new law. Trespass exemptions are more clearly defined in the new law than they are under current law. It has been stated that the law would criminalize “girls scouts and nuns” who went to the door of a house. This is an is an over-the-top, ridiculous statement. If the property is not
posted, anyone may go to the front door. If the property is posted with clear “No Trespassing” or “No Solicitation” signs, then the wishes of the property owner must be respected. It was stated that “This law makes it hard to know if you’re trespassing.” The definition of trespass depends on what a reasonable person would recognize as a property boundary. By the very definition and legal standard of “reasonable,” then, it would have to be self-evident to the average person that they are trespassing. Penalties have increased. Under the current law, civil and criminal trespass is a misdemeanor and starts at a $50 fine. H658 makes civil trespass a fine of $500. Criminal trespass without damage is an infraction with a fine of $300. Criminal trespass with damage is a misdemeanor with a fine of $1,500 to $5,000. H658 may be viewed at : legislature.idaho.gov/wp-content/uploads/ sessioninfo/2018/legislation/H0658E1.pdf. I’m proud to serve the voters of Legislative District 26 and Idaho with honesty and integrity. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to set the record straight. Representative Steve Miller

Letters to the Editor
To whom it may concern: I am writing this letter in support of Ronnie L. Geer as Gooding County Coroner. I have known Ronnie for several years now, and I’ve watched him serve this community in multiple capacities. He has served as the school resource officer in Hagerman, Gooding, and Wendell. During that time I’ve seen him play Santa Clause as well as Elvis for school programs, volunteering to cook for school BBQ’s, and spending hours upon hours after school at sporting events. The kids love him, and his kindness and compassion resonates strongly among students and staff. I lost my husband Larry in January 2016. Ronnie was the coroner on call that day who responded to my residence. He showed a genuine compassion for me and my family, as he took extra time to answer questions that are very hard to ask during a time of death. He was very patient with me, and waited for family members to arrive before taking Larry from us. His kindness, his compassion, and his patience made the most difficult day of my life as bearable as it could be. Ronnie has the training, the experience, and the compassion that it takes to hold this important position. He has been serving as chief deputy coroner for 7 years now, and I can’t think of anyone more deserving for this position. Sincerely, Linda Bay

Š When we were young kids, you didn’t have to have much to be a superhero among other kids. A few things come to my mind as I am sitting here looking at a little glass bottle. You were pretty cool if you had the little bottle of cinnamon oil that we all put toothpicks in to suck on like candy. There were no wrappers to distract your teachers in class. The bottles were smaller around than a dime and about half the length of a toothpick. The drugstore had displays of many flavors such as spearmint, peppermint, cherry, and anise among others. The bottles were opened so often that some of the liquid flavors would dry around the top of the bottle. Then the plastic lid would seem to never really seal real tight. Consequently, they would leak in your pocket. Some kids would use too much, to be macho, and would have swelling or burns. The flavors got pulled off the market, at least for kid use. Once you had one of those empty flavor bottles, you could put liquid mercury in them. Liquid mercury was silvery, like expensive metals, and was very slick to the touch. It would roll all over in your hands. Everyone was fascinated by the mercury you could slide around. Mercury was found in thermometers, advertising signs, and street lights. It is a good conductor of electricity. Volcanic regions such as our own could find liquid mercury in its natural state. Mercury is found in about every food we

eat, but now if there is mercury found, a hazmat team with people in special clothes are there to remove it. And we played with it a kids with our hands. Too much of anything can cause problems such as corn syrup for example. If you had a cow magnet in school, you were cool. Cow magnets were used in cattle stomachs to keep metal from cutting up the inside of cows since they eat everything and their large mouths don’t separate each and every item. Originally, metal from bailing wire (wire used to bind hay bales together) could be found in small pieces in feed. Cow magnet were great to hold metal to metal. Everything was metal when we were kids - from our toys to our lunch boxes to our desks. As time passed on, you can’t take metal items to school such as the pocket knives we all used to carry. Steel ball bearings the size of marbles (called Steelies) were another item that made you a superhero in school. When playing for marbles, the Steelies didn’t move. So, it was hard to beat them in competition. You always got to take home what you won. The Steelies were always marble takers. Kids started throwing the Steelies and they did more damage to windows than the marbles. Thus, they were removed from cool kid use. All good things end in someone’s time! I guess some of mine ended in school. This is my “Cup of Tee� flavored with a Cinnamon toothpick.
