The Ultimate Fighting Sport
New Tax Collector in Lincoln County If you haven’t paid the second half of your property tax, you have until 5:00 p.m. today, June 20th, to get that done. For those of you in Lincoln County, there is a new face waiting for you at the treasurers office - Ann Youts. Earlier this year the Lincoln County Treasurer, Cathy Gilbert, announced her retirement, and Ann Youts was appointed to take her place. Many of you already know Mrs. Youts as the H.S. English/Art/Speech teacher in Richfield where she taught for eight years. While she loves teaching, this was opportunity she just couldn’t resist. She (as well as the other county tax collectors in our area) are always willing and able to answer your questions (about taxes). All you have to do is ask.

It takes a lot of training to become a Mixed Martial Arts fighter because most of these athletes learn two or more different styles of fighting. Yet, it’s not just about making it to some big time cage match, it’s also about teaching and learning. Bill Hanson and Bryan Sink recently opened Fusion MMA in Gooding as a training facility for themselves, and for others to learn the sport. “Our main goal for the younger kids is to build confidence,” said Mr. Hanson. “and, of course, self control.” Both trainers were adamant that students should not be using martial arts to start fights. “MMA is a sport,” said Mr. Sink. “Not an excuse for causing trouble.” While there were sporting events that combined different styles of fighting as far back as the Greek and Roman times, one of the first organized “mixed style fighting” disciplines was Bartitsu. Founded in London in 1899 by Edward Barton-Wright, Bartitsu combined judo, jujutsu, boxing, savate, and canne de combat (French stick fighting). In the late 1960s, the idea of combining elements of multiple martial arts was popularized on the silver screen by Bruce Lee who believed the best style of fighting borrowed a little something from all styles. Since then, mixed martial arts (MMA) has become an increasingly popular sport. The first Ultimate Fighting Championship was held in 1993, and in 2006 the UFC produced one of the highest pay-per-view sales in the history of television. MMA is sometimes portrayed as a dangerous, no-holds-barred style of fighting, but there were no documented cases of death at a sanctioned MMA event prior to 2007, and only two deaths between 2007 and 2011. This is due mostly to the Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts which have kept the injury rates in MMA competitions similar to other combat sports. In fact, some studies show a lower risk of traumatic brain injury in MMA compared to other events. If you are interested in this fun and exciting way to be physically fit, Fusion MMA is located at 337 Main Street in Gooding and is open from 5 to 7 p.m. or call 208-3200469 or 360-747-9124. The monthly fee is $35 for those under 18 and $50 for adults.

Scotch Thistle - Scurge of the Earth from Terry Ruby, TriCounty Weed Control It’s an epidemic folks and it’s right here in the north side of the Magic Valley. I’m talking about Scotch Thistle. Virtually every landowner in Gooding, Jerome and Lincoln County either has some on their property or knows someone who does. Onopordon acanthium, Latin for Scotch Thistle, is an invasive species that will reduce productivity in standing hay fields and pastures alike. ONE plant left to go to seed can produce over 1,000 new plants the next year, and hundreds of plants for the next 20 plus years. The Tri-County Noxious Weed Control authority has been notifying landowners of infestations of this plant, and others, on their properties. Thank you to those who have taken the time and effort to cut down or treat these plants on their property. Landowners that do not take care of these invasive weeds are subject to 1) fines up to $1,000 and 10 days in jail and or 2) eradication of the plant and destruction of any subsequent crops that contain the plants by the control authority and 3) payment of the costs of eradication to the control authority. Not all is doom and gloom, help is available. Simply contact the Tri-County Noxious Weed Control Office @ 208-934-5569 for details. If your still not sure what Scotch Thistle looks like? Google it!!

Exploding Targets Increase Human-Caused Wildfires in Idaho
Larry’s Machine Shop & Gun Works
SHOSHONE – As Idaho’s weather warms and summer approaches, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is seeing an increase in human-caused wildfires. The Boise District BLM has investigated 19 human-caused fires so far this season; they suspect that four have been ignited by exploding targets. While this has not been a suspected cause of any fires on the Twin Falls District BLM so far this summer it is still a big concern and something we hope to avoid. “Many people don’t realize that exploding targets can easily start wildfires, which can threaten lives, property and our natural resources,” said Idaho BLM State Director Steve Ellis. People use exploding targets for rifle shooting practice. The targets explode when hit by a high powered rifle bullet, scattering incendiary materials for several feet. Once these materials hit dry grass, wildfires can easily ignite and quickly move through dry vegetation. While legal in many locations, it is illegal to use exploding targets, incendiary or tracer ammunition and fireworks on public lands from May 10 to October 10 every year, per the Idaho Fire Prevention Order. Violations of the Order may bring up to one year in jail and/or up to a $100,000 fine, and violators who start wildfires can also be liable for the costs of damage and suppression. BLM issues this Order annually to join the U.S. Forest Service and Idaho Department of Lands who already have permanent statutes in place that prohibit exploding targets, incendiary or tracer ammunition, and fireworks. “If we all take a few precautions, we can not only avoid risking lives but also save taxpayer dollars, as well as natural resources, including wildlife habitat,” added Ellis. ----------

~ Solution on page 11.....
During this year’s Primary Election one of the questions asked of the candidates was in regards to attracting and retaining local businesses. That question was a little misleading because technically, government can not help businesses, but it can help with commerce. The difference between business and commerce is this: business is what you do inside your store, while commerce is... well, everything else. Let’s say you have a grocery store. You (or your employees) stock the shelves, customers come in and purchase items, your employees (or you) sweep the floor, your wife (or husband) does the bookkeeping, and (after a little hair pulling) you pay the bills. That’s business. But, where do you get all the things you sell? In our small communities a truck comes once or twice a week from the wholesaler, and that act of transporting those goods to your store is commerce. Commerce includes things like postal services, utilities, highways, etc. - anything that is used to transport goods and/or services to or from your business. The ultimate form of commerce, however, is money. Imagine for a moment that money has not yet been invented and you are a furniture maker. When people want to buy your products they bring you food items - a bushel of carrots for a chair or five bags of potatoes for a table. A cask of ale will get a person a complete bedroom set. All of this works just fine until you want to buy a new car. The problem is that Mr. Smith (the Chevy dealer) doesn’t want any more furniture because your rival from the other side of town just furnished the entire Smith house. What do you do? Fortunately, Mr. Smith is in need of silverware and he knows that you are good friends with Mr. Jones, the silversmith. He asks you to make a deal with Mr. Jones to furnish the Jones house in exchange for silverware, which you will then give to Mr. Smith in exchange for a new car. Happily, you go to Mr. Jones, but he doesn’t want furniture, he wants a wagon load of firewood from Farmer Fred. This is bad news because Farmer Fred just bought a bedroom set from you and he has everything else he needs. As you walk sadly to the door, Mr. Jones says, “Hold on a moment! I have an idea.” He takes a small scrap of silver, pounds it flat on the anvil, cuts it into a circle, and engraves a face on it. Eureka... money is invented. You immediately invest your life savings and loose it the next day when the market burns down. The point of this little story is that “money” is simply a substitute for transporting goods & services (i.e. it’s commerce). The truly unique thing about money is that it can transport those goods & services through time (savings and investments). The difference between business/personal activities and commerce is important to understand because the government does not regulate (generally speaking) what you do in your

business or your home. The government does (most certainly) regulate how you get things in and out of those locations. And, as government regulates commerce, it can have a great impact on the success, or failure, of your business. For the most part, commerce is regulated by state and local governments. The only exception is “interstate commerce” over which the U.S. Constitution specifically gives jurisdiction to the federal government. This is a good thing because it helps the states work together without fifty different systems. The problem is that our federal government often wants to define “interstate commerce” in ways most of us don’t like. Case in point - healthcare. If you go to a local hospital, the only regulations you should have to worry about are state regulations... right? If your bill is paid by Medicaid or Medicare, that is interstate commerce because federal money is involved. If the hospital uses drugs, instruments, machines, blood, or body parts that come from another state, that’s interstate commerce. In fact, trying to find something in a hospital that isn’t connected to interstate commerce is like trying to find something in Walmart that isn’t made in China. For something closer to (or in) your home, what about the internet? Is the internet commerce? Part of it is for sure - the phone lines, the satellites, the UPS or FedEx truck that brings your ebay goodies, and of course, the money you use to pay for your online obsession. But, what you do on the computer once the download is complete, is not... at least for now.
