NEWS NFL Quarterback to Lead 'Heal Idaho'
Carson Palmer, former NFL quarterback, Heisman Trophy winner, and Idaho resident is joining forces with Idaho nonprofit Camp Rainbow Gold. Palmer will serve as a spokesperson for their capital campaign to “Heal Idaho” by building Hidden Paradise, Idaho’s first medical camp. Palmer makes his home in Sun Valley, Idaho with his wife and young family. Like so many other Idahoans, his children have been awestruck by our wild rivers, sky-scraping mountains, and deep forests. Now, he’s helping us ensure every child, no matter the diagnosis or disability, gets the chance to be a kid; to play outside, explore Idaho, and be with their peers at camp. “In my career, I’ve been surrounded by men who many characterize as some of the toughest “heroes” on earth,” said Palmer. “These children have gone through years of chemotherapy, surgeries, radiation or live with other medical challenges—they are the true heroes. They are the ones I sit in awe of. And I’m determined to do what I can to make up for the time they’ve lost getting to just be kids.” Camp Rainbow Gold CEO/Executive Director Elizabeth Lizberg said, “We’ve made incredible strides at Hidden Paradise. Two years ahead of schedule we are welcoming 10 camps to the property this summer—five of them from other nonprofit organizations. And we are just getting started. Having Carson on our team will take us to the next level and help rally even more support as we continue to push this vision for this camp forward.” With nearly 40 years of experience, Camp Rainbow Gold is spearheading the building of the medical camp on 172 acres outside of Fairfield. Nearly $9 million has been raised to remodel existing structures, build an on-site health center, 12 ADA cabins, shower houses, 3 bike trails, a ropes course, and more. To stay on track with future construction, support the existing buildings with updated infrastructure, and build a main lodge to safely gather campers inside, another $7 million needs to be raised. “I’m ready to pick up a hammer and get this camp built—a camp that will serve so many children, families, and adults from across Idaho. Who wants to join me?,” said Palmer.

Extremism in Idaho Politics???
In the last several months, there has been a proliferation of organizations offering "information" about the upcoming Primary Election. Most of them are deceptive in one way or another. One of those groups - Take Back Idaho - is clearly a Democrat group pretending to be nonpartisan, but there are other groups like Conservatives Against Liars, Conservative Accountability Project, and Idaho Conservatives that use the word "conservative" as a smoke screen for ideas you may or may not agree with. Other groups like ”Defend and Protect Idaho” appears to be nothing more than a smear campaign against Janice McGeachin (and anyone who supports her). The common thread with all of these groups is their claim to be fighting against political extremism. However, what they define as extreme might not agree with your definition. Examples of extremist ideas include: Schools should not be allowed to indoctrinate our children; Unborn children should have the right to life; and... I have the right to make my own decisions about masks and vaccines. Certainly, there are extreme ideas out there and we should be on guard against such things. Unfortunately, what we are hearing from many of our politicians is not about protecting Idaho from extremism, but about individuals trying to stay in political power - by whatever means necessary. I recently received a flyer in the mail that at first glance appeared to be from Congressional candidate Bryan Smith - it wasn't. I don't particularly care for Mr. Smith, but the flyer was clearly designed to deceive. As you listen to politicians running to stay in office, many of them are patting themselves on the back for the "great job" they did during the last couple of years. They helped protect Idahoans from that dreaded virus, but did they? The real problem was not the "pandemic", it was State and local governments bending over backwards to rake in as much federal money as possible. Is this money being used for good things? Yes, but at what cost? As you get ready to head to the poles to vote, the biggest question you need to answer is: Do you want someone who only cares about that letter behind their name, or do you want someone who will stand up for what is right, no matter how "extreme" it might be?

Vote Deanna Hoskinson for County Treasurer As Camas County Treasurer for 22 years, I worked across the hall in the courthouse annex from Deanna Hoskinson for 15 of those years. Many of you came to know Deanna as the face behind the DMV counter and the deputy assessor before she was appointed to the county treasurer position when I retired from office at the end of March 2020. Deanna possess many fine qualities that are needed for the treasurer’s job. Among those qualities are honesty, patience, trustworthiness and kindness. Most importantly, Deanna has the innate ability to, no matter how difficult the task, work well with those around her. This ability is crucial in the treasurer’s office, as she must work closely with the clerk’s office on bills, payroll, monthly, quarterly and yearly balancing of the books and much more; as the Camas County Tax Collector she must work hand in hand with the assessor’s office. The treasurer also keeps grant, forest service and BLM monies for the weed department, sheriff’s office and road and bridge along with providing monthly reports to those department heads and the county commissioners. The treasurer has the extremely important task of being responsible for all county monies and must have knowledge in how to keep those monies safe and how to invest wisely. Deanna has this knowledge. These are only a few of the many responsibilities within the treasurer’s office. When I retired, the county commissioners felt very confidant in appointing Deanna to the treasurer’s position to finish the remainder of my term. Deanna was able to train for a month before I retired which gave her the ability to keep the treasurer’s office running smoothly. Now, Deanna is running to be the elected Treasurer of Camas County. She brings to the table the knowledge of her 15 years of experience in the assessor’s office, the two years she has ably served as the appointed Camas County Treasurer, along with her many abilities. Deanna is also very community minded happily giving her time to Girl Scouts, the Camas County Fair Board, and as a member of the Camas County EMT’s. Because of Deanna’s many years of experience within the courthouse, she is far and above the most qualified candidate running for this position. I have the upmost confidence in her abilities to not only do the job of county treasurer, but to do the job well for all the citizens of Camas County. Please join me on May 17th and vote for Deanna Hoskinson for Camas County Treasurer. Gayle Bachtell Read another Letter on page 7... Retired Camas County Treasurer

Gracie Rose Vargas was born on June 29, 1990 in Twin Falls, Idaho. She joined her parents, Carlos Vargas and Jodie Robb and made Dylan Deal, a big brother. Gracie was a rambunctious little girl, that was also shy and reserved. Once she knew you though, and she wanted you in her life, you were there. She loved dancing and playing softball when she was young. She had a love for her friends no one could deny. She often referred to them as her "ride or die" friends, and she meant it.

With the marriage, they were blessed with two more children - Gabriel and Rose, making them the family of 5 she always wanted. Gracie loved being a stay-at-home mom more than anything and it showed in her daily cooking and activities with her children. Her relationship with her dad was never wavering, and they talked almost every day. Gracie, Gabe and the kids spent as much time as they possibly could with family, including her dad and his wife, Jenny. They were able to make many memories together that will be cherished forever. Gracie loved the mountains and being in Gooding was always home for her. Gracie left a hole in many hearts when she left the earth on April 12, 2022, at the age of 31.

Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor, I write to express my support for Steve Miller, Republican candidate for the Idaho Legislature District 24B. Steve has a long and distinguished record of Public Service. Steve was a Camas County Commissioner for 6 years; he has been on the Camas Soil Conservation Board of Supervisors for 44 years. During those 44 years he served 2 years as President of the Idaho Association of Conservation Districts and 2 years at Secretary/Treasurer of the National Association of Conservation Districts. In addition, Steve was on the Camas County Zoning and Planning Board for 17 years and he has served in the Idaho House of Representatives for six years. Steve has dedicated his life to Public Service, is well versed on the issues facing rural Idaho and will be an excellent representative for District 24B in the Idaho Legislature. I have met Steve on multiple occasions over the past several years and have discussed land and water issues with
1-208-246-9999
him that are central to rural Idaho’s economic and social future. His knowledge and understanding of potential future action by both the State and Federal governments that could result in profound negative changes to our economy is a great asset for us. I know him to be a man of excellent character and integrity. Steve’s opponent in the primary, Mr. Knight, is running a negative campaign and is not being completely honest with the public. I recently attended a public forum in which one citizen asked Mr. Knight if the company he works for packages Cannabis for retail sale. He belittled this person and stated the obvious that Cannabis, or Marijuana, is illegal in Idaho and that they did not package Cannabis. He left the impression that associating his company with the Cannabis industry was misinformed. In fact, Mr. Knight is the Director of Research and Product Development at N2 Packaging Systems who’s tag line is “The sustainable cannabis packaging company”. N2 says that they are “the trusted premium packaging provider to some of the most progressive cannabis producers and
• Wednesday, May 4, 2022 • The Courier NEWS
7
brands in the United States…” While N2’s business is not illegal in Idaho, I am left wondering why Mr. Knight felt compelled to hide the nature of the business he works for. Mr. Knight also highlights his services on the Board of Directors at Xavier Charter School in Twin Falls, but he fails to mention is that he was removed from the Board by unanimous vote during the Board’s Executive Session on August 25, 2021 without cause after a little more than one year of service. Why would the Board do this? Could it be that his presence on the Board was disruptive and nonproductive? This is Mr. Knights lone example of Public Service. The question before the voters is which of the two candidates has the experience and integrity to represent the citizens of District 24B in the State Legislature. The choice is clear, Steve Miller has demonstrated his excellent character and integrity during his entire life of Public Service. Vote for Steve Miller District 24B on May 17.
