Door to Door You hear the doorbell ring. You put down your book (or tablet) and go to the front of the house to see who is there. When you open the door, lo and behold, it’s someone trying to sell you something. What do you do? Phone solicitation is relatively easy to deal with (just hang up), but turning away from a face-to-face meeting with someone can be very difficult. What do you do? First, a salesman may not enter a home without a specific invitation from the homeowner (actually, no one can enter your home without your permission - unless they have a warrant). Second, most municipalities have some sort of ordinance in place to regulate this sort of activity. Generally known as “Green River” ordinances, these laws declare the practice of door-to-door soliciting (unless requested by the homeowner) a nuisance, and punishable as a misdemeanor. While most of these laws have been upheld by the courts, there is a general consensus that a total ban on door-to-door solicitation is not defensible. On the other hand, requiring a peddler to get permission from city hall is perfectly reasonable, and most cities do so. This brings us to point number THREE: if someone shows up at your front doorstep trying to sell you something, ask them if they have permission from your city council. If not, you have every right to tell them where to go. On the peddler’s side of things, getcontinued on page 8.....

End to End on Route 93 U.S. Route 93 is a major north–south highway that begins at Wickenburg, Arizona (50 miles northwest of Phoenix) and ends in Jasper Alberta, Canada - a distance of over 1,700 miles. It is a long, beautiful drive that takes you through Nevada, Idaho, Montana, British Columbia, and into Alberta. While most people would travel this route by car, one man is making the journey on a bicicle. Earlier this month, Jasper’s Fire Chief, Greg Van Tighem, began a solo cycling trip that will cover the full extent of highway 93. Part of his purpose is to promote tourism interest in Wickenburg, Jasper, and all the communities along route 93. His bigger goal, however, is to raise $93,000 for the Multiple Sclerosis Society. Yet, Chief Van Tighem is quick to say, “Yes, I’m trying to raise money, but I want to raise awareness about Multiple Sclerosis as well. The more people understand the challenges faced by people dealing with MS, the sooner we will have a cure.” With that said, he is not just looking for folks who will sponsor this journey, he is also looking for people who will help spread information about MS amongst their friends, family, and many other contacts. Last Wednesday, Chief Van Tighem traveled through Shoshone where he visted with members of the Chamber of Commerce and Mayor Dave Wendell (above photo). The next morning, he continued on up Highway 93 towards the Craters of the Moon National Monument. You can follow his journey at www.endms93.com or on his FaceBook page. -------------------------Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system. Symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the limbs, or severe, such as paralysis or loss of vision. The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS are unpredictable and vary from one person to another. MS involves the immune system, but the specific target of this disease has not yet been identified.

The Gooding Fire Department would like to offer you...
A Little Peace of Mind
Fire rarely kills people. It’s the smoke that gets you. To prevent that from happening, every home should have at least three smoke detectors. For those you who are over 60 years-of-age and living on a fixed income within the Gooding Fire District, the fire department recently received a Community Risk Reduction grant of enough smoke detectors to supply ten homes. While the Gooding Fire Department has an ongoing program of providing smoke detectors for those who need them, this is special opportunity to serve the community. Because there is a limited number of these detectors, they will be given out on a first-come basis to those who meet the above requrements. The Fire Department will also provide a free Home Safety Inspection. Contact the Fire Department today at 934-8348 and keep your home and family safe. -----------------------------Fire Chief Brandon Covey would like to remind everyone to get a permit before burning anything within the city limits.
Don’t forget the Fireman BBQ ~ June 29th Wednesday, May 15th at 7 p.m.
“Lincoln and Idaho” at the Gooding County Museum (273 Euskadi Lane - Hwy 26/46) David Leroy (from the Idaho Humanities Council) will explore the unique relationship between the sixteenth President and the Idaho Territory, which he created in 1863, appointed friends to govern, mentioned in two State of the Union speeches, and even considered on the afternoon he was assassinated. Mr. Leroy defends the claim that more than Kentucky, Indiana, or Illinois, Idaho is the state most related to Lincoln. David Leroy is chairman of the Idaho Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission and Chairman of the Governor’s Council of the United States Lincoln Bicentennial Commission. A former prosecutor, Attorney General, and Lt. Governor, Dave has been lecturing on Lincoln since 1976. He is the author of many articles and a book on the sixteenth president, and has a collection of historic artifacts relating to Lincoln’s life which he uses to enhance his talks. His interpretations and comments tell of the unknown, the unusual and the “real animal” as Lincoln called himself. The lecture is free, donations are appreciated. Refreshments to follow.

Mission, and a Family History Library, Church Service Mission. Shortly after, she moved to Texas to take advantage of the warm weather and to be close to her step-daughter, Margene and her family. After living in Midland, Texas for 5 years, Doris moved back to Gooding in 1998, where she loved watching the crops grow and seeing her homestead flourish. In 2005, she moved to DeSano Place Suites in Gooding, Idaho to be pampered, loved, and well cared for. As a family, we would like to express our great appreciation to the staff for their many acts of kindness. Mom loved people and had a great compassion for those who suffered in any way. She loved sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ knowing that His truth would lift their burdens. She loved to cook and collected boxes and boxes of recipes. She would bake in the night
when she couldn’t sleep and then surprise her friends with her beautiful pies. She will be remembered for her delicious banana cream pies. She loved her family and she found great joy in seeing their many accomplishments. She loved their letters and pictures at Christmas time, and a visit was talked about much after the event. She has a testimony that families are together forever and looked forward to seeing her family in Heaven. She is preceded in death by her husband, Victor L. Bingham; her parents, Marjorie May Smith and John Burdette Brinkly; her sister, Lois Joyce Rose; and brother, Jack Brinkly; 1 step-son, Sonny Garcia; and 1 grandson, Chad. Funeral services were held on Friday, May 3, at the Gooding LDS Church. Burial was at the Measer Fairview Cemetery in Vernal, Utah.

Cup of Tee
Last week the real estate in Utah and Nevada changed to great degrees. This week Oregon had the honors of getting the real estate market. You could say they were changing faster than the weather. In fact, the weather was the actual promoter in change. We were working up some ground on the hillside and the winds came up with 30 miles-per-hour plus speeds. The wind took the soil east and south, and of course, it was going the same direction I was working the field. This made for white our (dust out) conditions where I could only see just past my tractor hood. This week, as I said, Oregon was receiving all the real estate. The wind blew in a northwesterly direction. The wind came with harder force, and also had more worked ground to gather dust. I think the people from Utah and Nevada sent some of the topsoil back. They were probably not used to getting good topsoil in real estate transactions to this degree. The Oregon real estate swap rolled toward me like a can of spray paint covering everything in its way. When the dust cloud hit where I was in the tractor, my visibility became nothing. This time I could not even see the hood of the tractor. No matter how hard you gripped the steering wheel, there were no straight lines because your sense of direction was lost. You just had to sit and wait, hoping for a break in the dust. The winds were some of the worst I had seen in years as far as dust clouds. The seal around the tractor windows were worn and the door hinges were worn to a non-perfect fit. The dust from these storms covered me almost as if I were outside. Telephone calls from the neighbors two miles away would indicate when they could farm the next step past the phase I did, simply because twenty minutes after their dust storm, they knew I was done. I could not imagine the Dust Bowl of the Thirties that the American people experienced in the Midwest. I experienced just a few days of blackout dust while they experienced years of it. The depression was bad enough, but to lose you land, water, livestock, and way of life because of dust storms, amplified the Great Depression. The dust would blow in through the door keyholes like sand pouring though an hour glass. People sat at the table to eat with dust pouring on the food. Fence rows were covered so high the livestock roamed freely. Barns blew away with so much continual wind force. Shallow wells were filled or contaminated. Roadways changed. Gardens and crops were suffocated to death or cut off with abrasive dirt and sand. In our own state, we have some of the largest sand dunes around - Bruneau and St. Anthony. Could we be the next dust bowl state? With our desert and farm land that would be scary. This is my “Cup of Tee” slightly dusted.

“Pompey Hollow Book Club” by Jerome Mark Antil If there is a more idyllic boyhood in America written about, I’ve never read about it. This slim volume is crammed with the good stuff; adventure, good friends, boys who are friends with girls, boys who don’t bully, a healthy and happy family. Categorized as fiction, it must be somewhat autobiographical because it is narrated by the author as a ten year old. At first I dismissed it as unrealistic. Then I realized it was something more, a great deal more. It’s blueprint for family life. It’s the How-To book for good parenting, and a step-by-step for fathers who want to try to be good fathers. This story is about a father who doesn’t drink, beat the wife and kids, take drugs or run off to start a second/third family. The father in this book thinks about his family (including his wife!), and includes his children in his life. This boy’s life, Jerome Mark Antil, wasn’t perfect, but his family’s love was perfect, and that gave Jerome the tools he needed to cope with the imperfections of life that do come his way. What a nice family – how do I get adopted? 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 211 South Rail West ~ 886-2843 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 Open Tuesday thru Saturday 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 Tuesday - 12 to 5 Wed - 12 to 7 Thurs - 11 to 4 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 Fri - 12 to 5 Sat - 12 to 3 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 Please call 934-4089 or visit at: 306 5th12345678901 Avenue West. 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 Regular Hours of Operation: 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 Monday 12 to 5 Thursday 1 to 8 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 Tuesday 1 to 8 Friday 12345678901 12 to 5 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 Wednesday 10 to 5 Saturday Closed 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 105 South Main Street ~ 487-1242 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 Tuesday: 2-6 & Thursday: 10-6 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 Come Join the Fun at 10:30 a.m. 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 Hours 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 - 10 to 5:30 123456789012 Monday 12:30 to 8 p.m. ~ Thursday 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 Tue, Wed & Fri 12:30 to 5:30 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012 12345678901 123456789012607 Soldier Road, Fairfield 12345678901 ~ 764-2553

The Silver Spurs Report 5/6/13 - We are off and running with another year of 4-H horse club. We have decided to keep the same name for our club “The Silver Spurs”. Our first meeting was April 20, 2013 and we elected our officers, discussed club rules, paying our fees and watching a video about showmanship. Our second meeting we got to bring our horses and practiced our showmanship and our riding events. It was just nice to get to ride with my 4-H group. Our next meeting will be May 18, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. and if you would like to join our 4-H club you still have time. It’s a lot of fun!!! Elected officials: President: Nick Martin, Vice President: Neill Martin, Reporter: Rayann Martin, Secretary: Neill Martin, Treasurer: Leslie Staley, Sgt. at Arms and Arena Manager: Kris Martin Horses: Pepper, Lucy, Drifter, Bubbles, Freckles and Lettie by Rayann Martin – Club Reporter
Door to Door continued ting permission to solicit is usually just a simple visit to a city council meeting (or the clerk) and letting them know what you are doing in their community. Some municipalities, however, require fees, background checks, and even photo IDs to be worn when conducting business. Lastly, there are two areas of solicitation in which these laws do not apply - noncommercial endeavors and the dissemination of religious information. In 2002, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a law in Stratton, Ohio, that required a permit from the mayor’s office before a person or group could promote a cause. The primary reason for the court’s decision was that Stratton’s ordinance violated the First Amendment regarding religion and freedom of speech. There seems to be some indications that this summer will bring out a higher than normal number of door-to-door calls as individuals try to generate income for their families. Word of advice: be kind, but be safe. Never let someone into your home unless you are absolutely certain about your safety.

Personal use fuelwood permits for the Payette and Boise National Forests as well as the Fairfield Ranger Station, Sawtooth National Forest will go on sale beginning May 15. Permits are $12.50 per cord with a 2-cord minimum and a 10-cord maximum per household. Permits will be available at USDA - Forest Service Ranger District offices, the Interagency Visitor Information Center at 1387 South Vinnell Way in Boise, and private vendors in Southwest Idaho, (see attached list). On the Sawtooth National Forest, the Minidoka Ranger District will issue permits beginning May 24, but permits for the Ketchum Ranger District and Sawtooth National Recreation Area (NRA), will be delayed until the end of May or beginning of June. Call the SNRA at 208-727-5013 to check snowmelt and road conditions in these areas. The Payette National Forest has three free-use areas, which are located in the Hazard Lake, Kinney Point, and Secesh Meadows/Warren areas. A free-use permit is required for these areas and can be obtained at the associated Ranger District office along with specific location information and permit use requirements. The Boise National Forest has new closures in the Hulls Gulch and Rocky Canyon areas of the Mountain Home Ranger District. “Please check this year’s brochure to make sure you are cutting in an area open to fuelwood gathering,” said Boise National Forest Fuelwood Coordinator Audrey Karpe. Each Forest firewood permit is valid for use on any Forest. All motorized travel related to fuelwood gathering must be in full accordance with Forest Service travel regulations for the area as shown in the Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM), unless specifically exempted in the firewood permit. Once the snow melts, the public is encouraged to cut firewood early in the year because fire restrictions may impact the cutting season later in the summer. However, early season wood cutters should be very careful with wet road conditions and avoid them if rutting or getting stuck is a potential. Firewood cutting is not allowed within riparian areas (adjacent to creeks and rivers). Regulations for each forest are available when permits are issued. For additional information, contact the local Ranger District offices, or Forest web sites. -----------------Vendors near the Sawtooth National Forest: Camas Creek Country Store, Fairfield 208-764-2211 Sawtooth NF Ranger District Offices Include: Minidoka RD 208-678-0430 Ketchum RD 208-622-5371 Fairfield RD 208-764-3202 Sawtooth National Recreation Area 208-727-5013 Stanley RD 208-774-3000 Sawtooth Supervisor’s Office 208-737-3200

Gooding Garden Society News The Gooding Garden Society held their second meeting of the year on Tuesday, April 16th. We have such a great group of members now - sixteen and that includes two men. Every one is so excited about spring and can hardly wait to start gardening. We have a member that is going to plant all kinds of herds medicinal and cooking - and show how to use them. We have a member that is going to have a berry garden - all different kinds, including some we are not familiar with. It will be exciting to learn about growing, pruning, and canning everything. An excellent trick for your garden is to grow your climbing plants on a section of hog wire placed in your garden so you can walk on each side. You can reach through the large spaces to pick your tomatoes, beans, smell zucchini, and other veggies, you don’t miss any. The hog wire we talked about is 16 feet long and about 52” tall. Of course, you will need drive in posts to hold it up. We learned that digging in the dirt and walking barefoot in the grass and even hugging a tree are all tasks that help to keep one young and healthy. So many people these days are glued to their computers or work in offices where they don't even get to see the sun let alone have contact with the earth. It was such an interesting presentation that we are all glad we love to keep in touch with the soil by gardening. Of course, gardeners have always known that having hands in the soil soothe the soul - it is calming and healing that washes over the body. This is called Grounding or Earthing. I believe that people of old knew this and now, so do we. So let’s keep our bodies strong and healthy at the same time we are raising wonderful vegetables for our families. Ruth Brown, President
