Wendell School District Bond Election Earlier this year, voters in Wendell failed to pass a $3.1 million bond for the Wendell School District. A majority of the voters were in favor of the bond, but bond elections require a two third majority to pass. Next month, August 26th, the residents of Wendell will have an opportunity to vote on a revised bond proposal. Based on recom-
mendations from a Citizens’ Committee, the new bond election will include two separate questions. First, voters will be asked to approve a 10-year Plant Facility Levy of $250,000 per year. The Wendell School District has never had a facility levy specifically designated for building maintenance, furnishings and equipment. According
to the Citizens’ Committee, if such a levy had been in force over the past three decades, today’s damaged conditions could have been avoided. The second question is for approval of a 20-year, low-interest, $1.5 million bond to correct the effects of deterioration over the past 20 to 38 years. If approved, this bond will be used to repair the gymnasium roof system and the gymnasium heating and air conditioning systems. The bond will also be used to resurface the high school roof and the student parking

Budgeting Your Tax Money
Lincoln County Commissioners (as well as other commissioners and city councils) are currently working through the annual budgeting process. Each year, government agencies from the state level down to the smallest cemetery board, must prepare a budget and give citizens the opportunity to comment and/or object.

Salvage Fishing on Big Wood & Richfield Canal
F&G Director Virgil Moore has signed an order allowing salvage of fish on the Big Wood River downstream from the old railroad trestle (approximately 1.25 miles downstream from Magic Dam), and the Richfield Canal from the canal diversion downstream to the Gooding County line, and on the Richfield and Lincoln Canal Systems. In these areas, fish may be taken by any method except firearms, explosives, chemicals or electric current from July 20 to November 1, 2014. All bag, possession and size limits are also removed in these areas. Anyone wishing to take fish must have a valid Idaho fishing license. General rules still apply between Magic Dam and the old railroad trestle.
In October, the FFA Livestock Judging team from Hagerman will be traveling to Louisville, Kentucky to compete against teams from across the U.S.A. This is a great opportunity for our young Future Farmers, not only to compete, but to see thousands of exhibits at the Kentucky Convention Center.

Carol Toles Carol’s place of residence and death was in Watford City, ND. Carol was born in Silver City, KS on October 26, 1946 to George and Betty McLaughlin. Carol was the second oldest sibling of seven children; which included her two brothers, George and Ike and four sisters, Donna, Ruth, Virginia and Joy. Carol and her five children, Frank, Brenda, Larry , Steve and Elizabeth were united with Alva Toles in marriage on January 3, 1974 and soon after brought into this world three more daughters, Teresca, Rosie, Corie. Carol spent her life raising her children and many of the neighbor kids. She never turned away a hungry mouth or a family in need. She worked for the Senior Citizens Center as a driver, and made many friends taking people back and forth to appointments or the grocery store. She also did the Meals on Wheels Program and loved to take the food to different people, talking with them for hours and put a smile on everyone’s face she came in contact with. Carol spent hours in her garden and loved to sit on her back porch and watch the world go by as she feed all the little animals that roamed into her yard. One of Carols favorite past times was to watch “new” episodes of her classic TV shows. She would sit on the edge of the couch and clap her hands as her shows came on over and over again never getting old for her. Carol brought life and joy to all people she met; always looking on the positive side and never looking at peoples faults, but to the good in them. Carol is survived by her husband of 40 years Alva Toles of Watford City; children, Frank Shoup and his wife Ranae of Twin Falls, ID, Larry Shoup and his wife Jennifer of Port Saint Lucie, FL, Steven Shoup and his wife Lorrie of Twin Falls, ID , Brenda Shoup of Watford City, Elizabeth Robinson (Shoup) and her husband Ronnie of Pahrump, NV, Teresca Zimmiond (Toles) and her husband Aaron of Sturgis, SD, Rosie Murray (Toles) of Billings, MT, and Corinna Toles of Thompson, ND; thirty four grandchildren, fifty two great grandchildren, numerous nephews and nieces; two brothers and four sisters. Carol is predeceased in death by her parents, two children, Ginger Ann and Jonny Ray, and one great grandchild, Jackson.

and approving a budget. Most of us pay little or no attention to this process - the numbers are too big or too difficult to understand. What does catch our attention is when a particular department or program has part of its budget cut, or if there is a significant increase in spending. Over the last couple of years the biggest challenge (at least at the local level) has been how to cut spending. Revenues have been static or down for most localities while certain cost have increased. Case in point... healthcare. Some budget items are easier to cut than others because the amounts are only potential or discretionary spending. Other items like maintenance and emergency funds often include amounts you hope you never spend, but these things need to be in the budget. The real cuts (and the ones that cause the most heartburn) involve salaries and benefits. Salaries are very hard to cut. Most of the time employees are asked to forego an increase in wages rather than an actual cut in pay. Benefits, however, can be cut in ways that preserve the benefits and dramatically decrease costs. This can be done by eliminating certain coverages such as eye and dental, but increasing deductibles can be more impactful. Government agencies generally have the best healthcare benefits - great plans and deductibles as low as $100. In fact, healthcare benefits like this are often more
death & service notices
Frances C. Shortridge, 91, a resident of Wendell, died January 8, 2013 at the Lincoln County Care Center in Shoshone. A memorial graveside gathering will be held on Saturday, July 26, 2014 at 11 a.m. at the Wendell Cemetery in Wendell. Cremation arrangements were under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service - Wendell Chapel. Samuel Porter Collins, the old Horseshoer, passed away Tuesday, July 15, 2014 at his home in Shoshone. No public services are planned. Arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service – Shoshone Chapel. William Lee Hanson, 78, a resident of Gooding, passed away Saturday, July 19, 2014 at his home in Gooding. No public services are planned. Arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel.
fortunately, providing this level of benefit is expensive (especially with recent changes in healthcare laws), and when private individuals have to live with deductibles of $2000 to $3000, this can seem overly gratuitous. At one of their recent budget workshops, the Lincoln County Commissioners were looking at how much money the county would save by increasing healthcare deductibles. Obviously, the higher the deductible, the higher the savings, yet they want to be fair to their employees. The Commissioners are considering a number of other budget cuts, but potential cuts in benefits are the ones you will most likely hear about as they get ready for the budget hearing next month.

Last week was the annual Curise Night started by Roe-Ann Drive-In in Emmett, Idaho. Other than the showing of classic cars there are many 50’s to 60’s type dances and competitions. Every year except this year (because of other commitments) I always went the extra mile to dress and compete in the events. The temperature is always around 100 degrees. In spite of the heat I began to win some of the events. A few years ago I was told I couldn’t win the prize because I had won the year before. That made me a little irritated. I told them, “I dress in the 100 degree heat in leathers and I’m here to win. I won’t lose by lack of trying, but by competition instead. Bring on the competition! Let them go to the extremes like I have. I can lose if they beat me, not because I’m a winner.” A person is automatically a winner to just go through the process and show up. Apparently they have forgotten a few minor foundation. When I did demolition car derbies no one would compete because Darrell (one of the continual winners) never was beat. The perspective drivers would not enter because of fear of loss. I entered because I wanted to play and I wasn’t afraid to try. Darrell would completely rewire his car, adding extra batteries and relays so his cars couldn’t be stopped in a STOCK competition. I told people I would beat him at his own game without cheating. I now have a wall full of trophies to prove that. Anyone in my shop knew my cars were stock as stock could be. In fact, half of the time I painted my cars on the track prior to running. My brother, my cousin, other members of my shop, and even newcomers got trophies to prove they could win by competition and not by cheating. I wouldn’t allow cheating. My cousin became a top contender at Homedale, Idaho, where only hometown players were allowed to win. He won year after year and beat the hometown boys because he took the challenge to try (and win). I entered many demolition derbies throughout Eastern Idaho and was invited to many out-of-state events because I wouldn’t accept, “You can’t play because we are the winners here.” I took the challenge to win. Years ago, at my work place where I use to deliver lumber, I was told to just put the lumber on the ground and go. I usually spread it around to make it easier for framers and builders. I told work I wouldn’t compromise doing a good job just because they weren’t. In addition, I would not train new employees to do a half job, which went against my work ethics. In the lumber business we had 17 other lumber yards in the Treasure Valley that would be in my place if I didn’t do a good job. So in short, I would be losing by not trying. Not only would I lose, but my whole company as well. Throughout the years many contractors stayed with the lumberyard because I took the challenge of, “Beat me at what I do, NOT, Beat me because I didn’t try!” I have never heard of anyone stumbling by sitting down. This is steeping yet another “Cup of Tee.”

Idaho Fish & Game News
Fall Chinook Seasons Set
Idaho Fish and Game Commission has adopted fall Chinook salmon fishing seasons on parts of the Snake, Clearwater and Salmon rivers. The action was taken at the Commission’s meeting in Salmon on Thursday July 10. The 2013 return of fall Chinook was surprisingly large, and this year’s run is again expected to be one of the largest in recent history. The forecast return including hatchery and natural fall Chinook to the Snake River basin is more than 57,000 fish. The Snake River, from the Washington-Idaho border upstream to Cliff Mountain Rapids, a little less than a mile downstream of Hells Canyon Dam, will be open from September 1 until further notice or October 31. The Clearwater River, from its mouth upstream to Memorial Bridge; and the Salmon River, from its mouth upstream about three-fourths of a mile to Eye of the Needle Rapids, will also be open from September 1 until further notice or October 31, whichever comes first. The Snake River, from Cliff Mountain Rapids to Hells Canyon Dam, will be open from September 1 until further notice or November 17. A valid fishing license and salmon permit are required to fish for fall Chinook. Only adipose-clipped salmon may be kept. Only adult fall Chinook must be recorded on the angler’s salmon permit. The daily bag limit is six adult fall Chinook salmon, the possession limit is 18 adult fall Chinook. Adult Chinook are 24 inches and longer. There is no season limit on adult fall Chinook. There are no daily, possession or season limits on fall Chinook jacks (those less than 24 inches). Anglers are not required to record fall Chinook jacks on their permits.
Crane & Mourning Dove Seasons
Idaho bird hunters will get an expanded mourning dove season but fewer sandhill crane tags this year. On Thursday July 10 the Idaho Fish and Game Commission approved the earliest and most liberal mourning dove season allowed. The dove season will last 60 days, from September 1 through October 30. The daily bag limit will be 15 birds and the possession limit will be 45. The sandhill crane season will be open from September 1 through 15 in hunt areas 1 through 5. The Pacific Flyway Council has allocated Idaho 120 cranes for harvest in the 2014 season. This is the second consecutive year Idaho’s allocation has been reduced and is the lowest since the hunt began in 1996. This is due to a decline in the most recent three-year average of cranes counted during the annual September survey.

Late Night Registration at CSI
CSI’s Taylor/Student Union buildings will be open until 10 p.m. on Thursday, July 31st, with academic and technical program advisors, career counseling, and financial aid assistance. The bookstore and testing center will also be open. Free food will be available. For students who have kids, free bounce houses and supervised activities will be available in order to allow mom and dad to focus on finding answers to questions and getting registered. Students are encouraged to register as soon as possible for the fall semester, which begins August 25th. Students are advised that the deadline for registration is earlier than it’s been in the past – 11:59 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 24. For more information, call 733-9554. To meet the allocation, Fish and Game reduced the number of tags available, eliminated the Bonneville County hunt (where there were only five tags available in 2013) and reduced the season limit from four to two birds. The daily bag limit is also two birds. The hunt is designed to provide focused depredation relief to farmers at a time expected to provide the most benefit. 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. Crane tags go on sale August 1 at 10 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time, and will be sold on a first-come-first-served basis. Tags will cost $15. A season and rules brochure will be available at regional offices and on Fish and Game’s website by the end of July.
Bighorn Tags for Auction & Lottery
The Idaho Fish and Game Commission, during their July 10 meeting, released two bighorn sheep tags for the 2015 season, one for a lottery and one to be auctioned. The lottery tag was awarded to the Idaho Wild Sheep Foundation and the auction tag was awarded to the Wild Sheep Foundation. The two groups will market the tags as fund raisers, with the proceeds going to benefit bighorn sheep research and habitat. The groups keep only enough of the proceeds to cover their expenses - or no more than 5 percent of the money raised by the auction and 25 percent by the lottery. Commissioners selected the proposals they felt would bring the most money for the benefit and enhancement of bighorn sheep in Idaho.

It’s also the perfect time to make sure your children are up-to-date on their immunizations. August is National Immunization Awareness month and South Central Public Health District (SCPHD) strongly encourages parents to take this opportunity to keep their children better protected with up-to-date immunizations in preparation for daycare, back to school, and college. “The great news,” said Lisa Klamm, SCPHD Immunization Program Coordinator. “is that SCPHD is a Vaccines for Children (VFC) participant and can help parents immunize their children for little cost.” The VFC program
July 23, 2014
provides free vaccines to Idaho children through participating medical providers. To save money parents should always make sure they are using a VFC provider. Parents can make an appointment by calling the SCPHD clinic in their area. An appointment is required in order to streamline services and reduce waiting times. It is also critical to bring each child’s immunization record to identify what they’ve had or still need. Immunizations are available by appointment at SCPHD offices in: Bellevue: (208) 788-4335 Gooding: (208) 934-4477 Jerome: (208) 324-8838 Twin Falls: (208) 737-5966 For more information on clinic schedules, immunization fees, and immunization requirements for schools, visit phd5.idaho.gov.

area. These four projects are major needs with each estimated to cost between $300,000 and $400,000. While the levy and the bond are two separate questions, each of them is dependent upon the other to be fully effective. Approving one, and not the other, will only partly address the needs and leave increased expense and further wear and tear to the future. The Wendell Community has already invested over $30 million in school district buildings, an investment that needs to be protected. The impact on property tax is expected to be about $1.27/week or about $65.67/year based on a $100K primary home.
