Primary Election Coffee in Shoshone Meaning no offence to the restaurants and May 15th convenience stores around the area, but... there Gooding District 3 Commissioner Wayne Chandler 539-2577 chanfarm@ dishmail.net
Terrell Williams 536-6421 terrellwilliams@ yahoo.com (questions & answers on page 2...) Next Tuesday is the Idaho Primary Election. On page two you will find a list of polling locations for Gooding, Lincoln, and Camas counties. Remember: you must have a photo ID to vote. In addition to the primary election, three of our area school districts will be holding supplemental levy elections. Those school districts and the amounts they are asking for are: Wendell School District: Two-year, $155,000 annual levy. Shoshone School District: Two-year, $300,000 annual levy. Richfield School District: Two-year, $225,000 annual levy.
are times when your coffee just doesn’t satisfy the cravings of a true coffee connoisseur. To fulfill that craving, Shoshone now has a new coffee shop at 102 North Greenwood (north of the railroad tracks and west of Valley Co-op). Bay Horse & Company opened their doors last Tuesday serving cookies, muffins, daily lunch specials, and... COFFEE! Their hours are 6 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (Mon-Fri) and 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Saturday. For now they are closed on Sunday. If you are a rodeo aficionado, you probably know (or have seen) the young proprietor of this coffee house, Treece McClintic. When she is not make sandwiches or brewing coffee, she is training horses for barrel racing with her other business - Another Bay Horse - and traveling around the rodeo circuit. This is not the first time Treece has been in Treece, and her dad, food service. She grew up helping her parents, pause for a photo before Pat & Sandy Battles, run the Main Street Cafe going back to work at in Homedale. Bay Horse Coffee House. For those of you who need to be careful about what you eat, Bay Horse Coffee House serves gluten-free products from another Shoshone business - Susan Sweet’s Gluten & Sugar Free Bakery. Make sure to try a Ham & Cheese Muffin - They’re GREAT!

Gooding District 3 Commissioner Have you held an elected office before? Wayne Chandler: No, I have not held an elected office before. Terrell Williams: Elected as Gooding County Commissioner in 2006 to a four-year term. Re-elected in 2010 to a two-year term. Now running for re-election to the four-year term. -----------------------------------Budgets are a big issue for all government agencies. What is your experience with handling public money, and what do think is the greatest financial challenge for Lincoln County? Chandler: Over the past 35 years our family has been through both good times and bad. Managing your money is a very important part of staying in business. I also served on the executive board for the Snake River Council of the BSA for 9 years, helping them stay in the black. Williams: Budgets are a big issue for all county governments. In Gooding County, our board - (including myself, Helen Edwards and Tom Faulkner) - works on the annual budget for about two months each year. We are conservative and have not taken the allowed three-percent county tax increase for the last two years. At the same time, we have added two new buildings and new bleachers at the county fairgrounds. We have stayed up-to-date with county vehicles, including a new ambulance last year. We have done extensive remodeling to the courthouse and the offices for assessor and treasurer, so that our officials have the room they need to work efficiently... -----------------------------------In our small communities, conflict of interest is hard to avoid. How can public officials meet the requirements of the law and still be realistic about their personal relationships and/or businesses? Chandler: Fairness to all is very important. Each citizen has a right to voice their opinion and a responsibility to vote. Williams: Conflicts of interest are clearly defined by law, and whenever there is any question of a conflict that one of our board members may have, that official willingly steps out to recuse himself or herself from any decision to be made. -----------------------------------Many people complain about government. How much of that is the fault of the people not getting involved versus government officials creating negative perceptions? Chandler: Citizens in the county should make themselves aware of the issues and then be involved in the discussions so their opinions can be considered and also exercise their right to vote. Williams: I think most complaints are directed at our federal government and the debt that has gone out of control. At the county level, we as a board welcome citizens to our meetings. We welcome good communication, which I believe is the best way to work out problems in the spirit of mutual communication. We also have a balanced budget every year, which is open for public review. I do encourage people to make the effort to vote in the primary election on May 15. In Gooding County, most of our elections are decided in the primary. for more questions & answers, goto couriernew.webs.com

Old, wooden grain elevators rarely make the news these days unless they burn down. Yet, they are unique and historical structures that should be preserved. One idea to keep buildings like these a viable part of our communities, is to convert them into living spaces. All around the world, there are strange homes made out of airplanes, container units, aluminum cans, and railroad cars. You name it, it’s been done. So, why not grain elevators. While it might seem like a great idea - to some - it is not without its problems. Setting aside the cost of such a project, most of our rural communities could not allow that to happen. Why? Height restrictions. While the maximum height for residential building (and other buildings) vary from one community to another (35 to 40 feet), grain elevators are almost always higher than that limit. A person could ask for a special/conditional use permit, but unless a project like this is specifically approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission, the building department can not issue a permit for a building project or a remodel which is in violation of the height restriction (or any other part of the zoning ordinance). If you still want to do a project like this, you could ask your local government to change its ordinance to either modify or eliminate the height restriction. There are three main arguments you might use for this. One, the International Building Code (which all counties and cities adopt) already has height restrictions, and such restrictions on the local level are redundant and unnecessary. Two, most zoning ordinances fail to define exactly where the height of a building is measured from. It is generally assumed that height is measured from the ground, but it could be measured from the footings, the foundation, or it might even be related in some way to elevation (measurement from sea level or some other fixed point). If this is not clearly defined, the ordinance might be unenforceable by the building department. Three, one of the main reasons for height restrictions is to preserve the aesthetic look of a community. While big cities create their own landscape with skyscrapers, small rural areas are usually more concerned about the natural beauty of the surrounding area. Unfortunately, aesthetic taste is hard to define, and too often, ordinances based on aesthetics are arbitrary and capricious. For example: an ordinance that allows or forces a building department to make decisions on siding/roofing color, landscaping, or whether a building’s height or bulk is harmonious with the surrounding area, is just asking for trouble.

...but never Compromising the Truth.
from the Editor To Vote, or Not to Vote To vote, or not to vote, that is the question. Whether 'tis Nobler in the mind’s eye to suffer, The slings and arrows of outrageous elections, And cast thy mark whereby a name is chosen, Or turn eyes blind to that sea of troubles, And let live the scruples of corrupt men. But conscience does make cowards of us all, Lest, with nave resolution to the truth, We but see what is clear to behold, The calamity of life is never far from thy own fingers. ---------------------------------Last Friday and Saturday, the Camas High School Drama Class put on a great presentation of “Taming of the Shrew.” If you were not there, you missed something special. Their teacher/ director, Tracee Roe, is to be commended for bring this fun Shakespeare play to Fairfield. On an entirely different subject, the question above (inspired by the famous Hamlet soliloquy) is one I have struggled with for several months - should I or should I not vote [in the primary election]. For most of you (I hope), the question is not whether to vote but who to vote for. For myself, however, there is the question of objectivity. As the owner/publisher of a newspaper, I have an obligation to you (my readers) to be as objective as possible about certain subjects. But, because our contested local races are often between two Republicans only, I must choose to register as a Republican or give up my right to vote in local races. At issue is whether registering as a Republican would affect your perception of whether this newspaper is objective or not. Most of you have told me that it doesn’t matter. Yet, there are a handful of individuals out there who look for any and all opportunities to denigrate the reputation of others. Let me be perfectly honest, I am conservative. Given that I live in Idaho, grew up on a farm, and I’m deeply involved in my church, what else could I be. But, that is not the same as claiming a particular political party affiliation, and I know far too many “Republicans” who are everything but conservative. So... to vote, or not to vote? I guess I’ll find out next Tuesday.
building official would or could allow something and another (or new) building official wouldn’t, the ordinance is probably not legal, or will lead to litigation. All that said, there is a very good reason for most communities to keep their height restrictions. Unless a fire department has a ladder truck, it is very difficult or impossible to control a fire in a building over 35 to 40 feet. Tall buildings usually have internal fire suppression systems, but it is rare for a singlefamily home to have such a thing. So, for the time being, our old grain elevators will have to remain what they are - tall, wooden landmarks of the past.

...but never Compromising the Truth.
Letter to the Editor Wow! It doesn’t seem like it was 4 years ago that I ran for County Commissioner. Well here we go again. I am running once again, because I have a few things I would like to complete before I fade from the public spotlight. One is the Manmade Project. Not many know about this project because it is still being held up on some land swap details. Another project I would like to see accomplished would be putting together some kind of Code of the West for new people coming to Camas County. It would include information on what it is like to live here on the Camas Prairie, such as the weather and other conditions. I currently serve on the Wood River RC&D (Resource, Conservation & Development) as the Chairman; the Northside Transportation Committee; the WAG (Watershed Advisory Group). I also serve on several other committees representing Camas County. One thing I would like to mention, is that if you are going to vote on May 15, and I hope all of you will vote, you will have to register as a Republican to vote for any republican running in the primary election. Be sure to bring your I.D. or you can register early at the Court House. Bill Davis, Camas County Commissioner ----------------------------------Bloated Local Government & Lawsuits It came as no surprise to read the posting on the courthouse window, “Due to financial issues, Camas County is cutting back snowplow and road maintenance services”. It might surprise you but many people are watching Camas County die. A recent article published in the Denver Post stated, “In the Rocky Mountain Region the largest growth occurred in Cheyenne County, Colo., (26.6%) while the largest contraction occurred in Camas County Idaho, (-6.6%). Several publications have quoted a report conducted by Feeding America, the nation’s largest food-aid organization stating Camas County continues to top their list with almost 18% of the population facing some sort of food insecurity. Bloomberg’s Business Week wrote, “Camas County has the highest jobless rate in Idaho at 16.9% Other writers explain how the county continuing to ignore their own ordinances while spending additional taxpayer dollars in attempts to wiggle around more legal mistakes and lawsuits. Quote: “Since Elgee handed down his decision, county Planning Administrator Dwight Butlin and county attorney Paul Fitzer drafted a new ordinance that would allow for Copron’s building to proceed.” Who authorized this and why? NEWS FLASH: It was recently reported that my lawsuit against the county was over and all legal fees awarded to me had been reversed. It also stated the “Supremes” noted that Elgee had failed in the earlier case to determine if Martin had standing. These reports are “OUTRIGHT LIES” as a court date hasn’t even been scheduled and the so-called “Supremes” haven’t said anything about this case! It’s all of public record. Repeatedly I have tried to end this lawsuit and offered to drop the $70,000+ legal fees award to me, but the commissioners have continued on page 11.....

Natural Resources Camp June 25-30 The 53rd annual Natural Resources Camp may have found a formula to make five nights of camping in Idaho’s scenic Sawtooth Mountains with plenty of fun activities and scientific explorations even more fun: add an afternoon’s swim at Easley Hot Springs. The camp is held June 25 to June 30 at the Central Idaho 4-H Camp east of Ketchum. Boys and girls sleep in log bunkhouses and take field trips in the area to learn about Idaho’s natural resources. Sponsored by University of Idaho Extension and the Idaho Association of Soil conservation Districts, the camp allows campers ages 12 to 14 to learn about natural resources from wildlife and rangeland to forests, water and soil. Camp instructors from University of Idaho Extension and other agencies help campers develop a new understanding of Idaho’s natural resources through experiments and outdoor projects. Activities include hiking, fishing, volleyball, firearms safety and target shooting and other camp activities. The trip to swim at nearby Easley Hot Springs, which is part of the Cathedral Pines Camp, is a new addition that Camp Director Amber Moore expects to be popular. The camp typically attracts about 70 boys and girls, Moore said, although it can take as many as 90. The goal of the camp is to give campers basic facts about Idaho’s natural resources and to encourage them to think about whether Idaho will still have them in abundance in 20 years. Campers discuss and debate natural resources issues while learning their responsibilities as citizens. The camp registration fee, which includes bed, board and all activities, will cost $235 until May 21. The fee goes up $20 for registrations after that date. Scholarships are available through soil conservation districts throughout Idaho. More information about scholarships is available from Nancy Weatherstone at (208) 888-1890, ext. 102, at the Idaho Association of Soil Conservation Districts office in Boise. Other agencies cooperating in the camp’s operation include the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, Idaho Department of Fish and Game, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Idaho Department of Lands, Idaho Soil Conservation Commission and USDA Forest Service. More information about the camp is available by calling Megan Satterwhite, camp coordinator for University of Idaho Extension, at (208) 736-3634 at the Twin Falls Research and Extension Center or online at http://www.extension.uidaho.edu/nrc/

Cup of Tee
Everyone is always trying to get my friend Rick to get a cell phone. For whatever reason, he hasn’t joined the “cell” world. Last weekend as Rick and I were driving to Jim Super’s in Bellevue, Idaho, Rick spied a cell phone on the highway. We were east of the Moonstone Hot Springs Landing boat launch on Highway 20. As I was driving I did not see the phone, so I turned back to see if Rick was just seeing things. (His eyes are like an Eagle, so I was sure he had seen something.) As we were at the open faced cell phone, a truck drove over the top of the phone causing it to dance all over the highway. Looked like that baby was toast. I couldn’t believe that Rick was going to get his phone via the blacktop express. I didn’t feel Rick should get his cell phone that easy. I told him to get it going because we were going to try to call someone to see if we could return the phone. Rick scrolled through some numbers and randomly picked one to call. At first we didn’t think it was actually working. Then Rick was able to figure out the volume control. As we had made contact, Rick hands me the phone. I was talking to Lorraine, our random phone number. I said, “Hello, this is Tee Hurd and my friend and I have found this cell phone on Highway 20 near Moonstone Landing. Do you have a listing of whose phone this is?” Her answer was, “Yes, that phone belongs to Lori”. Then I said, “I noticed that your phone prefix is Bellevue, Idaho. Do you know Jim Super?” Her reply was, “Yes, I do. I went on a Wagon Train with him years ago.” With that said I had instant memory. I said, “Yeah, you and Lori were with a group of nurses that were on the wagon train. Do you have another number that I may call Lori?” Lorraine gave me a number and I called Lori to tell her we had found her phone. What are the chances of finding a cell phone on the highway, calling a random number, and knowing the person the other end? And THEN knowing the cell phone owner? Pretty odd chances I’d say! Upon arriving at Jim’s after leaving the message about the phone, Lori’s husband’s picked the phone up at Jim’s. The funny thing about that, Rick and I were sitting right next to him at the Iron Mountain in Fairfield, Idaho as we were in to watch the Kentucky Derby featuring an Idaho horse. The cell phone had fallen out of Lori’s husbands pocket while he was driving his motorcycle to watch the Kentucky Derby. This whole scenario would make a good cell phone commercial, an Ever Ready battery commercial, or even a commercial depicting out of touch friends. It’s a small world! They say the odds of someone knowing someone is that within five people someone knows someone who knows someone. But for all five to be familiar?? This is my “Cup of Tee” …..talk …..to your neighbors.

...but never Compromising the Truth.
...Letters continued
refused to settle or even talk about the subject. Since my last written settlement offer I’m guessing Camas County has at spent at least $20,000.00 to $30,000,00+ more on “Their Appeal”. More money will be spent when a court date is scheduled. In a continuing effort to end the suit and because of changing laws I had my attorney submit a legal written response to the Supreme Court that offered to unwind the suit by basically acknowledging an individual in Idaho can no longer challenge local government decisions and asked the case come to a close. This can’t happen until we go to court again and/or the county agrees to dismiss their appeal. Camas County’s 47 page legal brief pleads the case is “Moot” because they rerecorded the same basic documents. They don’t argue about the legal decisions Judge Elgee ruled on, i.e. Conflict of Interest, Lack of Records, Lack of Following Proper Procedures, etc., as they have no legal basis to argue the facts of record. The argument made is that I, a Camas County resident and landowner don’t have the right to challenge their actions that affect us all. They also submitted 5 expensive volumes of transcripts required for their appeal. Be very clear, this is a conscious decision your elected leaders have made to continue spending money for friends in backroom deals for illegal backhoe purchases and trades, signing off on subdivisions and streets not built to county code or even completed, ignoring community input and concerns, fighting legitimate lawsuits, i.e. Fricke Creek, Elk Creek, Hillside Ordinance and others, versus doing what’s right, providing necessary services while protecting the current and future safety and welfare of it’s citizen. In 6+ years since I brought it to the commissioner’s attention, nothing has been done to get Idaho Power to supply power for future growth, yet $100,000.00’s a year to are spent to fund a Planning & Zoning Department that can’t even follow it’s own rules. During these tough economic times, larger, more prosperous counties have eliminated these departments totally. This decision to fund this department is just plain stupid and your paying for it! Does the county currently have financial issues? Yes! But the question still remains, would these problems exist if the commissioners weren’t wasting money on expenditures that have no community value, gain, and/or real benefit to it’s residents. Many local homeowners are in default and recent home sales have been as low as $13,000. Other communities are lowering taxes and assessed values. What’s happened to yours? The county could stop spending additional money immediately by simply filing a motion of settlement. But will they do what’s best for the community or will they just cut more services to satisfy their own personal egos. As stated many times before, I am willing to waive all my legal rights as it was my intention to help make a better future for Camas County, but realized some time back that anyone not associated with the “Good Ole Boy” group isn’t allowed to interact or engage in anyway to help make a positive difference. As the community becomes a ghost town, even the good ole boys will loose. Recent cut-backs of county services are just the beginning as more cutbacks and future tax hikes will be forced to happen as the devastating effects of poor decisions your officials and hired staff have made are just now starting to kick in.
