Critical Race Theory

My son is graduating from BSU next month. Like many other young adults, it has taken him five years to achieve this goal. Part of the reason it took an extra year is because he struggled with a certain subject... math. There was one class, however, that gave him trouble which had nothing to do with his abilities. The teacher/professor insisted on making students write in support of ideas that were abhorrent to my son. He tried his best but to no avail - he had to retake the class. The retake was with a different professor and, lo and behold, he had no problem passing the class. In the past few weeks, the Idaho legislature has been struggling with education funding, not because of lack of money but because some of that funding is being used to promote ideas that many of them find abhorrent. One such idea is Critical Race Theory (CRT). What is CRT? It is primarily an academic discipline, formulated in the 1990s, that tries to address problems in race relations. The good part of CRT is its recognition that race is not based in biology. Scientific research such as the Human Genome Project has long refuted the idea of biological racial differences. This is a direct rejection of Darwin’s theories on race which have been used to support racism, slavery, and eugenics. Race is a social construct based on the fear or apprehension we all have when faced with something or someone that is different. This is a good thing (especially for young children) because it makes us cautious around strangers. However, when this fear is applied to whole groups of people based on superficial differences (color, sex, height, weight, etc.), it leads to racism and other forms of discrimination. The dark side of CRT is its insistence that racism is embedded within our legal system and express in public policies which perpetuate racial inequality. While many proponents of CRT simply want to change the laws they find objectionable, some of them believe the law is irredeemable and must be replaced. These theorists claim that the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the Fourteenth Amendment (equal protection), and Fifteenth Amendment (voting rights) do not promote equality. Rather (they claim) these laws provide “camouflage” for white supremacy, patriarchy, and oppression. For the true believers in CRT... continued on page 2...

I-84 Bridge Repairs Begin This Week

Repairs to structures along I-84 in South-central Idaho began Monday, April 26. Over the coming months, ITD will resurface thirteen bridges and nine overpasses, as well as perform other minor maintenance activities, to keep them in service longer. For most bridges, traffic will be reduced to one lane. As work shifts from one bridge to another, traffic patterns will also change. Drivers should expect reduced speeds throughout the area and watch for crews during working hours. Two overpasses in Minidoka County will be completely closed during construction. Closing the two overpasses will allow crews to complete work sooner, reducing project costs and lessening the overall impacts to travelers.

...Critical Race Theory continued

...it is not enough to have equality under the law, we must force people to be “equal”. A law professor at UCLA and others have proposed suspending private property rights, seizing land and wealth, and redistributing them along racial lines. The problem is... how to convince a nation to willingly accept such a concept? The answer is by using our nation’s education system - convince our young people that CRT is true. Of course, telling someone to give up their stuff, even if it’s voluntary, is a hard sell. So, we must change the language. “Social justice”, “diversity and inclusion training”, and “culturally responsive teaching,” all have their basis in Critical Race Theory. In practice, these high sounding ideas are simply “camouflage” for bullying, coercion, and indoctrination. Not all teachers and/or professors believe in CRT, but leadership in higher education is doing nothing to reign in the abuses that come with such ideas. Experiences like what my son faced are commonplace on college campuses. It is difficult to be non-political - let alone conservative without having someone belittle you for your “ignorance”. The only tool we have to fight this is the purse-string, which our state legislature is trying to pull shut... a little bit.

...but never Compromising the Truth.

Cup of Tee

© Did you ever say to yourself, “You are not supposed to be going this way.”? You probably have on many occasions since we have all had a lifetime to say that. This weekend past, I felt like I was asking myself that very question. Saturday, when I headed to work 15 miles north of New Plymouth, Idaho, one of my co-workers called me on the phone and asked me if I was coming to work. “Of course,” I told him. “I am coming in from the west side of the farm.” He was coming from the east. Then he said, “I can’t get to work because the road is flooded out.” “What do you mean you can’t get to work because the road is flooded out,” I replied. “There hasn’t been a drop of rain in days. I will see you at the barn in a few minutes. I’m coming upon the feedlot now.” After I passed the feedlot, I looked down on the creek where we were working to fill pivot irrigation tracks with sand and rock. What I see is a creek that was about 12 feet wide and a foot deep, now it’s 3 feet deep and 40 feet wide. I get to the barn and there is water running across the road about 3 feet deep and about 70 feet wide. “Wow! What has happened here?” I see my co-worker standing by his truck across the other end of the washed out road. My first guess was the reservoir holding our water has broken similar to the Teton Dam. Later I found out that the canal feeding the

reservoir broke and was unleashed through the fields. Needless to say, I couldn’t get through the creek to get to our equipment. I guess I wasn’t supposed to go that way Saturday. Sunday I decided to help a friend get some wood in Weiser, Idaho. The owners of the house had dropped a tree in their yard and he was hired to clean and haul off the wood. The top was dead but the butt was green. I knew it would be heavy to lift so I offered to help. The butt blocks were so heavy we couldn’t even roll them. So we cut the blocks through the middle into 5 to 6 pieces. While cutting my leg felt extremely hot. Did I cut my leg? My lubricating oil cap came off my saw and my leg was drenched with hot oil. Once I found my cap I decided I needed to do something immediately about my burning leg. Those pants had to go and the oil on my leg as well. I proceeded to run to the local Bi-mart to get a pair of pants. As I was going I saw cars passing each other in town. What goes with this? Then I realized I was going the wrong way on a one-way street. I was not supposed to be going this way. In the store the sign said, “You can’t try on clothes due to Covid.” I told the clerk I was buying these pants and I am going to the restroom and I’m walking out with them on. I have hot oil on my leg that needs to be stopped. I don’t know if that was the way I was supposed to go, but it was way I was going. This is my “Cup of Tee” ONE WAY!

Camas County Cemetery District Tax Levy

On November 3, 1992 the citizens of Camas County voted to establish the Camas County Cemetery District. At that time the District was also allowed to levy a property tax for the purpose of being able to carry out its duties. In 1993 when the cemetery commissioners were appointed by the governor the levy was set at .002% (or two thousandths of one percent). In the 28 years of the districts existence that levy has never been raised except by a very small amount allowed by the state each year. After 28 years the amount is now .002712%. Not much more than in the beginning. Our tax levy income for 2021 will be $4,700.00. We will run a deficit of approximately $2,000.00 thousand dollars this year while providing very basic of maintenance. As the Cemetery Board tries to bring these wilderness cemeteries into the 21st century, and into better repair, there simply has to be an increase in the tax levy. This will help us commit to work the cemeteries need for the short term. To that end, the Camas County Cemetery District will have a two year, temporary override levy on the ballot Tuesday, May 18, 2021. The override levy funds will be used to operate, maintain, and develop the four cemeteries (Manard, Mountain View, Hill City, and Corral) in Camas County. Our immediate need is simply better maintenance for these cemeteries (mowing more often, tree and bush trimming, weed spraying, sage brush removal, fences, critters, holes, trash etc.). All of these require more hours and more money for the cemetery maintenance worker. If you would like more information regarding the need for the levy increase, please contact Jerry Nelson, Jerry Young, or Melody Lefler. Thank you for your YES vote on May 18th in support of the Camas County Cemetery District.

Governor Little Signs ‘Fetal Heartbeat Bill’ into Law

Governor Brad Little signed House Bill 366 into law yesterday. The bill bans abortions after a baby’s heartbeat is detected, around five or six weeks after conception. The legislation makes exceptions for medical emergencies and pregnancies that are the result of rape or incest. “Idaho is a state that values the most innocent of all lives – the lives of babies. We should never relent in our efforts to protect the lives of the preborn.

Betty Mae Hollifield

Hundreds and hundreds of babies lose their lives every year in Idaho due to abortion, an absolute tragedy. I appreciate Idaho lawmakers for continuing to protect lives by passing this important legislation, and I am proud to sign the bill into law today,” Governor Little said. Senator Patti Anne Lodge, the bill’s sponsor, said, “We have a multitude of services available for women in crisis pregnancies. Choosing life is supported with

obit ua r ies

Betty Mae Hollifield died in the early morning hours of April 22nd. She died of natural causes after a long and happy 98 & ½ years of life. Betty Mae Johanson was born on October 17, 1922, to Alfred and Mae Johanson, in Fairfield, Idaho. She attended school in Fairfield and loved nothing better than riding her horses Star and Sacajawea on the prairie with her dad. Betty attended Colorado Women’s College where she earned her teaching degree. Following graduation, she taught typing and shorthand in Jerome. The week after school let out for the summer in 1948, Betty married Robert Hollifield. She and Bob lived in Gooding, farming and raising 4 kids and cows! Her life was busy, pulling calves, setting irrigation, cooking for crews who helped with haying and working cattle. In her “spare” time, she was active in 4-H with her kids and their projects. She and Bob also enjoyed playing bridge and pinochle with their friends and family. When Robert died in 1971, he left Betty and her sons alone to take care of the farm and cows. The farm eventually became Twin V Ranch, where they raised registered Hereford Cattle. In mid-1980, the remainder of the cattle and the ranch was sold. Betty retired from ranch life and moved into town, where she enjoyed her many flowers. She especially loved her roses, irises and gladiolas. In 2004, Betty decided that it was time to move into Assisted Living. Her daughter, Judy, helped her find Willow Brook Assisted Living in Twin Falls, where she lived until last spring. Then, she moved to Cedar Draw Assisted Living, owned by the same people. Betty truly enjoyed her years at Willow Brook and Cedar Draw. She made many friends and enjoyed the caring staff and comfortable facilities. The family is deeply grateful to Jim and Cathy Lynch and their many staff members for the compassionate and loving care they showed their mother. Betty was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Bob, her son, Jim, her son-in-law Ronnie, and her grandchildren Guy and Lacie. She is survived by her children: Joe (Amy) Hollifield, John (Nina) Hollifield, Judy Hess, Jim’s wife, Lisa, and Dan (Sue) Eikenberry. She is also survived by 10 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren, and 1 (almost 2) great-great grandchildren!! Friends and family may sign the register book on Wednesday, April 28, 2021 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel. The funeral service will be held, at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 29, 2021, at Demaray’s Gooding Funeral Chapel. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials be sent to: Cedar Draw Activity Fund, Cedar Draw Assisted Living, 4094 N., 2100 E., Filer, ID 83328.

compassionate help throughout the pregnancy and extends to 18 months after birth. Life goals can still be achieved for both the mother and child. With the availability of compassionate and supportive services and the rights pregnant women have in today’s world, a woman can give birth and continue her life goals. Encouraging life also provides two million families that want to adopt the opportunity to love and raise a child, if the mother chooses adoption.”

Glenn Rice, Jr.

Glenn Rice, Jr., 83, a resident of Gooding and formerly of the Wood River Valley, passed away on Sunday, October 25, 2020 at his home in Gooding. Born to Glenn and Charlotte Rice of Hailey in 1936, Glenn excelled in life graduating as Salutatorian of Hailey High School, class of 1954, and continuing his education at the College of Idaho before enlisting in the U.S. Navy. A decorated Vietnam Veteran, Glenn would spend the next 23 years serving his country, finding the love of his life and wife of 60 years, Noriko (Charlotte), and raising a family before retiring as a USN Lieutenant and returning home to the Wood River Valley. He would fulfill not only his dream of owning and operating Rice Electric, a respected, successful electrical contracting business, but the family’s dreams as well by helping wife Noriko open the famous Croy Street Café in Hailey. Glenn, still not ready to retire, would then return to his roots by accepting a position with the State of Idaho as Blaine County Electrical Inspector, where he would finish his long and successful career. Glenn finally retired and spent his days doing what he loved most; fishing from the deck of his summer home at Magic reservoir, where he planted many trees and shrubs, gardening, spending time with family and making the world a better place to live. Glenn Rice, Jr. is preceded in death by his parents Glenn and Charlotte (Howard) Rice; brothers- Richard, Howard and John; sisters- Mary, Elizabeth, Alice and Stella. Glenn will be remembered and loved forever by his surviving wife Noriko and sons, Glenn III “Tom”, and Jim (Angie). The family would like to thank Demaray Funeral Service of Gooding, for providing cremation services and support during this difficult time. A celebration of life for Glenn Rice, Jr. was scheduled but has been temporarily postponed due to coronavirus concerns.
