High Desert Racing The 8th annual Summer Showdown took place last weekend at the High Desert Speedway outside of Gooding. The races included twenty four cars, four motorcycles and a modified snowmobile. After a fifty dollar entry fee, the race winner was able to take home a five hundred dollar grand prize. Dave Bauer of Mountain Home is always a track favorite driving a black and red Camaro. Going into the race, Bauer had no reserva-
tion on wanting to lead the pack. He said, “My goal coming into the race was to win.” Bauer’s experience gives him an advantage over some racers. “Since I was a kid I have been out on the track racing,” he said. Steve Carlson of Jerome took a thirty five year hiatus before coming back and racing Saturday. After driving a car with a blown transmission Carlson said, “I will fix the car when the race is over and I will be back out.” Prior
story and photos
by Ryan Foster to this year, Carlson stayed involved with racing by cheering for his friends from the pits. When asked what was liked about the High Desert Speedway most drivers came up with the same answer. Casey Pratt of Pocatello said, “Mitch Johnson runs this track really well and it’s the most user friendly track that we go to.” Pratt came to the High Desert Speedway after racing in Montana the weekend prior. Tim Oller of Mountain Home also likes the ownership and the good racers it attracts. Oller said, “Mitch makes this track a great racing environment and good racers are always looking for that.” The next scheduled races are July 12th and 13th with races starting at Noon. Spectators get in for $10. For a complete list of events and other information, goto www. highdesertspeedway.com

Fairfield Workshop When you know someone is coming to visit your home, you straighten things up, you mow the lawn, you wash the windows, and make sure things look their best. Why... because most of us believe that our home is a representation of who we are, or who we want to be. A little dirt or mess is okay, but we try not to put it next to the front door. The City of Fairfield is working on just such a project and tomorrow night (Tuesday, June 26th) from 6:30 to 7:30 at the Camas Senior Center (125 Willow Avenue West) the residents of Fairfield are invited to attend a workshop on the city’s Sidewalk and Lighting Implementation Plan. With the help of grant money from the Idaho Transportation Department, Fairfield is developing this plan to identify a strategy for new sidewalks, accessibility improvements, better lighting, and to promote walking and biking within the city. The workshop will include an introduction to the project and its funding, continued on page 2.....

Fire Watch
On Tuesday, a wildfire burning north of the Ice Caves (north of Shoshone) was contained at an estimated 119 acres. The Bureau of Land Management said there were no structures threatened. Currently, officials are not sure what ignited this fire. Earlier this month, a 145 acre fire threatened homes near Dietrich and prompted Idaho Power to shut off electricity to 432 customers in that area. The fire which began near Crater Butte started out small, but wind gusts up to 35 mph tripled its size in within a space of two hours. The cause of the fire was undetermined. Last Friday, the Fairfield Fire department responded to a car fire north of Fairfield. No injuries were reported.

Magic Valley Dairy Days
story and photo by Ryan Foster
The twenty sixth annual Magic Valley Dairy Days celebration was held earlier this month in Wendell. Hundreds of people from the surrounding communities gathered for the festivities. The parade in particular, held Saturday morning, filled the streets with excitement. Hubert Johnson hasn’t missed his Dairy Days favorite, the parade, since moving to Idaho seven years ago. “I really enjoy coming to town and seeing the parade,” said Johnson. With so much support from the community gathering to celebrate our local economy, a first time attendee really embraced the excitement. Maryanne of Twin Falls said, “I love to see this many people come out and celebrate our community industry.” The local dairy industry even showed its appreciation to the parade goers from organizations like Glanbia, Magic Valley Compost and the Wendell 4-H. One float in particular seemed to steal the show and was crafted by the Magic Valley Portuguese Hall. A wagon very precisely decorated with flowers and flags while being pulled by two cows caught everyone’s attention. Maryanne said, “I liked the colorful wagon the most.” John Mcdonough also agreed saying, “The Portuguese Hall float was the best, and I have never seen a float pulled by cows before.”

New Book About Knievel Jump From a Kid’s Point of View
A new book by two award-winning writers tells the story of a ten-year old girl who dreams of being a daredevil amid the excitement over Evel Knievel’s jump of the Snake River Canyon. River St. Press announced the release of its new children’s book, “Billie Neville Takes a Leap” by Bonnie Dodge and Patricia Santos Marcantonio. The book is about friendship and heroes. Billie Neville wants to be a daredevil, just like her hero Evel Knievel. She also wants a best friend. Riding “the best bike in the whole world,” Billie’s desperate to enter a bike jumping contest with three boys named The Meanies and show them her cool skills. When the famous daredevil comes to Twin Falls to jump the Snake River Canyon, Billie learns she has to be a friend to make friends and that not all heroes have to soar over canyons. The book launch and signing for “Billie Neville Takes a Leap” will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, July 12 at Barnes & Noble Booksellers, 239 Pole Line Road E. in Twin Falls. A reading will be held at 2 p.m. Knievel attempted to jump the Snake River Canyon in September 1974. Dodge of Jerome is author of “Miracles in the Desert,” a book of essays about Twin Falls. Her column, “Life in this Magic Valley” ran in Ag Weekly for six years. Idaho Writer’s League’s 2010 Writer of the Year, her work has appeared in several magazines. Her book “Waiting” will be published this fall by Booktrope. Marcantonio of Twin Falls is the author of the award winning “Red Ridin’ in the Hood and Other Cuentos,” which placed on Amazon’s list of Latino children’s book best sellers. She has been honored for her journalism, screenplays and short films. Her novel “The Weeping Woman” was published by Sunbury Press, which will release her new children’s book, “The Ghost Sisters and the Girl in Hallway B.” Both writers also contributed to and edited “Hauntings from the Snake River Plain,” a ghost story anthology and “Voices from the Snake River Plain,” which features several of their award-winning stories and essays.

Some of our best resources are being wasted without the “proper knowledge” of doing so. These resources last their life cycle, but are being forced to deplete accumulative cycles at the same time. The scenario is much like clear cutting a forest. The one individual tree of X amount of years old is being taken as well as the older and younger trees. Then, all the vegetation and the life cycles they created, are altered or ended. The resource I’m talking about is our older generation and mandatory retirements - 65 years of age. Their wisdom, accumulated and handed down from person to person, is being lost. Chancellor Otto von Bismarck of Germany discovered that his worst political enemies were seventy years of age and older. To rid himself of this control, he persuaded the German government that these people were past their prime and needed to retire. In the 1870’s mandatory retirement at the age of 65 was put in place, thus giving Bismarck the control he wanted. This idea of mandatory retirement swept through the rest of Europe with retiring ages at 65 as well. The United States determined that the age of 65 for retirement was acceptable in the early 1900’s, around the outbreak of World War I. The Retirement act of 1920 was installed by President Calvin Coolidge. This Act put in place a retirement plan for federal employees with three categories of service retirement at the ages of 62, 65, and 70. Civilian retirement plans were a little slower to take place. After World War I the government had to make good on its promises to American service people. Several acts were passed to fund the monies for retirement payoffs. These monies basically were firmed by the Social Security Law - August 14, 1935. In 1942 the first real major changes in mandatory retirement were addressed - years of retirement and monetary amounts were determined. In 1978 the minimum age of retirement went 65 to 70 years of age. In 1986 the United States outlawed a mandatory age of retirement with guidelines for ages of retirement. Basically said, it was a plan in which taxes, benefits, and lifespan were defined. In 2006 44% of the baby-boomer population went into retirement. This might have been a trickled lead to the recession we saw in 2008. 2011 showed the second largest group of retiring baby-boomers. When retirees were asked why they retired, their biggest answers were: they could receive federal healthcare cov-
June 25, 19014
erage and they didn’t like their jobs - not because of poor health. Is it smart of us as a society to make mandatory retirement requirements of our people who are at their prime with experience and wisdom? Shall we store knowledge on a “cloud” in outer space? Are our young people prepped enough to take over? Who is carrying the burden of debt for retirees? Is there a balance between young and old? I may be too old or not old enough to answer these questions for this “Cup of Tee” setting. Tee Hurd
Fewer Sandhill Crane Tags this Year
The Pacific Flyway Council has allocated Idaho a harvest of 120 cranes for the 2014 season. This is the second consecutive year Idaho’s allocation has been reduced. It is the lowest since 1996. This is due to a decline in the most recent three-year average of cranes counted during the annual September survey. Idaho Fish and Game will be soliciting public comments from June 23-July 4 on a proposed season that would run September 1 - 15 with a daily and season bag limit of two birds. A summary of public comments will be presented to the Idaho Fish and Game Commission at the July 10 meeting in Salmon, when the commission will consider the proposed 2014 season. To meet the allocation, Fish and Game proposes to reduce the number of tags available, eliminate the Bonneville County hunt (where there were only five tags available in 2013) and reduce the season limit to two birds. The daily bag limit would also be two birds. Since 2009, when sandhill crane tags were made available on a first-come first-served basis, the harvest per tag purchased has averaged 48 percent. To stay at or below the Pacific Flyway harvest allocation of 120 cranes, Fish and Game proposes to reduce tags to a maximum of 240. Anyone interested in commenting can do so fishandgame.idaho.gov or by contacting Jeff Knetter at 208334-2920.
