Helping Struggling Soldiers “Re-Boot” At its annual “Charity Challenge” event at the Blue Lakes Country Club on August 18, Glanbia Foods, Inc. announced its contribution of $40,000.00 to Idaho Horse Therapy. Idaho Horse Therapy (IHT) is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization based in Shoshone. It gained some attention last year when the success of its program for the Fifth District of the juvenile justice system headlined newspapers throughout the Northwest. These funds from Glanbia, however, are for a new cause. Executive Director Johnny Urrutia explains, “We have worked with a number of local veterans struggling with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder individually. It’s all over the news these days that veterans are committing suicide at a rate of nearly one every hour. I know we can help, and this money from Glanbia will give us a great start.” All of the Glanbia monies are being directed toward IHT’s new operations: Re-Boot Camps. These will be week-long intensive programs where veterans suffering from the effects of PTSD will come together for group and individual therapies of several modalities. IHT will provide the Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP), and will bring together experts in the fields of Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Community Resiliency Model (CRM) and Tai Chi to provide a balanced and thorough treatment program. Urrutia is proudest of one particularly unique aspect of these camps, “Well first of all, none of this is at any cost to the veterans, obviously. So, we’ll get them there and provide
these services and teach them these skills that can help them find their way back to a sense of peace and well-being. But what’s most exciting is, they’ll bring a support person with them from home to learn these skills, as well. We know that we only have them for a week where circumstances will be controlled. When they get home, life will happen and things may get tough. After they leave ReBoot Camp, they’ll have an ally back home who can communicate with them using the skills they’ll learn here. This could change everything: their lives, their families’ lives.” The story took to Facebook the afternoon of August 20th and within a matter of hours had over 2,000 views and 40 shares. In such a tumultuous time internationally, it seems everyone is excited to be part of spreading a little hope. The first Re-Boot Camp will take place September 28th through October 4th.

Gooding Signal Now Active
The new signal light at the south end of Gooding went online this past week. The signal will operate under a timed setting until the traffic-detection system is fully operational (expected by Thursday or Friday of this week). Drivers are reminded to pay close attention to the signal, especially until they become accustomed to the new device. In addition to the new signal, the intersection has undergone several improvements, including a free-running right turn for northbound traffic on the southeast corner of the intersection, an improved stormwater collection and retention system, ADAcompliant and enhanced crosswalks with pedestrian crossing signals in each corner, and a repaved roadway. The signal also will feature a Flashing Yellow Arrow (FYA) traffic signal for all four directions. FYA traffic signals, which help drivers know when ot yield to oncoming traffic and proceed with caution, are becoming commonplace throughout Idaho as a way of managing traffic more efficiently and safely at intersections.

Donald Andrew “Pete” Torbert Donald Andrew “Pete” Torbert, Sr., 64, of Wendell, passed away peacefully on Monday August 18, 2014, in Twin Falls, with his wife, Sue, and his son and daughter, Buzz and Andrea, at his side. He was born October 19, 1949, in York, Pennsylvania, the son of Andrew Harlan Torbert and Edna Mae Moser Torbert. Pete was raised in southern Pennsylvania with the rest of his siblings and graduated from Kennard Dale High School in Stewartstown. Shortly after graduation, he married his first wife, Rebecca, and was blessed with a daughter, Amelia Sue. He served for a time in the US Army in Korea. In the Summer of 1972, he met Sue Bacon at the drive-in in Collinsville, Pennsylvania. They were married the following March of 1973. Later that year they were blessed with a son, Buzz, and a year later, with another daughter, Andrea. Pete was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses on May 16, 1981, and he lived his life doing the things that pleased Jehovah. He enjoyed serving the community and being a part of the Wendell Congregation. In his younger years, Pete enjoyed playing music on his guitar, with his band, The Dimensions, back east. He continued to enjoy music and playing his guitar his whole life, as some of our neighbors can attest to. Pete also enjoyed fishing, hunting, camping and hiking and more recently, clamming. He loved the outdoors and enjoyed all of Jehovah’s creations. Pete created a beautiful park-like garden around his home, along with his wife, Sue. He loved to share this with his family and friends. Pete is survived and remembered by his loving wife, Sue; his son, Donald “Buzz” (Mary) Torbert, Jr.; his daughter, Andrea “Jo” (Karnell) Steele; his daughter, Amelia Sue White; his grandchildren, Aliyah Danae Torbert and Jamin Thomas Steele; his parents, Andrew and Edna Torbert; his brothers, James, Roger and Dave Torbert; his sister, Debra Elswick; and many extended family members and friends. Pete will be missed greatly until we can see his smiling face again and hold him in our arms when Jehovah wakes him up. The fish at Salmon Falls can rest easy now too.

F&G Seeking Wolf Observations
Scouting for upcoming hunting seasons, huckleberry picking, and general late summer recreating are all good reasons for getting away to Idaho’s great outdoors. If during these forays, you see a wolf, Fish & Game staff would like to hear about it. “We’re looking for basic wolf information from folks returning from the field,” Fish and Game wildlife manager Craig White said. “Where the wolf or wolves were seen, their behavior, size, coat color and any other details.” The easiest way to report sightings is to use the wolf reporting form on the Fish & Game website. The userfriendly, step-by-step form takes only a few minutes to complete and can be accessed at fishandgame.idaho.gov Completed forms are relayed to area biologists who, in some cases, may contact the observer for more details. “Many of the reports will be valuable in confirming documented wolf activity,” White said. “In other cases, a report might identify a new wolf activity area that needs further investigation.”

Ask Now to Hunt on Private Land this Fall
According to a survey of rural Idaho landowners, 88 percent will allow hunting on their property if hunters ask permission first. In addition, the vast majority of those landowners are more likely to grant access to their land to people who ask well in advance. Hunters have the best results if they contact landowners at least two weeks before they plan to hunt. Hunters should ask even earlier on prime properties because some landowners set a “quota” for the number of hunters they allow on their property. Quotas help make for higher quality hunting experience and help landowners keep track of who will be on their land and when they will be there.

Country Home with Attached Apartment ($287,000) If you have had the opportunity to drive on one of our state’s freeways, you have noticed that the speed limit has been raised to 80mph. With the raise in speed it brings several questions to my mind. The first question is, “Are the highways ready for 80mph speeds?” We all know that I-84 between Mountain Home and Boise is still a rough stretch of road even after refinishing. Every winter cars are off the road everywhere. There are lots of ice bands on the road. Have the upgrades solved the problems for the increased speed? The state seems to have it’s work cut out for fixing potholes. Will the speed decrease the work in progress? Another question is, “Does the increase in speed promote more fuel use?” Our state leads in high fuel prices. Are we paying a bigger percentage of fuel taxes to go a little faster? Cheaper fuel would justify more traveling. We could again be a destination tourist state (maybe our wages wouldn’t be at the nation’s bottom because of the roller coaster effect of fuel prices). Granted our state is a rural state with a lot of distance between points, and some of our roads need a bump in speed (Highway 20 is one that needs a little more - will we get it? Rumors say so). But, are wildlife going to read the increase speed limit signs? Wildlife is an important feature of our way of life. Will our insurance rates go up because of more wildlife vehicle accidents? Is our state trying to keep up with the “Jones”? States around us are 70 to 80 MPH. Nevada, Washington, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming all have increased limits. Oregon still insists on 55mph for trucks and 65mph for cars - the world travels faster than 55mph. Just a thought to remember, Oregon will be enjoying your money if you forget to play by their speed rules. In fact, they are counting on your money - a 15mph decrease in speed is guaranteed revenue. Each town on the freeway or increased highway speed system will have their own speed zones. As a reminder, the speed on Highway 20 through Fairfield is 45mph. Also, older cars may not be traveling at 80mph. Night travel may limit visibility. Farm equipment will be traveling 60 miles per hour slower than vehicles at 80. My thoughts on 80mph on the freeway system stems back to the responsibility of drivers. You need to be aware of all situations and road conditions. Some state reduce speed for night and winter driving. Mandatory signs should not remind us, but our driving skills should. Our vehicles should be maintained properly to reduce breakdowns on higher speed roads. Cellphone use and other distractions should be addressed. Our roadway maintainence can not be forgotten. This is my “Cup of eight Tee”.
