State Board of Education Needs Public Input on Draft Policy on Diversity, Educational Equity & Inclusion
Last Thurday, Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin’s education indoctrination task force made several recommendations to the Legislature Thursday that ranged from targeting critical race theory to categorically endorsing school choice. One of those recommendions was that the State Board of Education and State Department of Education should identify and resolve conflicts between their own administrative rules and the Idaho Constitution in regards to religious and sectarian teachings in schools. Earlier this year, the State Board held a special meeting to address concerns about diversity, educational equity and inclusion at Idaho's four-year institutions. A draft policy was to be considered at their August meeting, however, due to a lack of comments from the public, that has been posponed until October to provide more opportunity for public input. Comments about the draft policy can be submitted to: board@osbe.idaho.gov A copy of the draft policy can be found at: boardofed.idaho.gov/meetings/board/archive/2021/062821/IRSA.pdf The current "Draft Policy" dated June 28, 2021, states that this policy is in response to "unfounded allegations of systematic indoctrination." This seems to indicate that the State Board is not taking these allegations seriously, and the lack of public comment suggests that the public feels the same way. Board President, Kurt Liebich, said, "The State Board of Education wants to ensure that all people from all backgrounds and political ideologies feel welcome and that they belong on our public campuses. In short, we want to be sure that all voices are heard, and that freedom of expression is valued and encouraged." see page 5..... To that end, the State Board is proposing definitions of common terms that are used by both continued on page 7... public and private institutions and organizations throughout...
Comment on Prescribed Fire Project
The Sawtooth National Forest is seeking public comments on an environmental assessment for Prescribed Fire for Restoration and Fuels Reduction Project. The proposed project would authorize prescribed burning where it is needed to restore firedependent ecosystems on national forest system lands in the Sawtooth National Forest. Implementation would include multiple prescribed burns across the Forest per year, each ranging from 10-10,000 acres in size, for 15 to 20 years. Prescribed burning would be conducted within established guidelines, law, regulation, and policy. The proposal excludes lands within Congressionally designated wilderness, research natural areas, and pinyon pine stands. The proposed project information and an environmental assessment are available on-line at:
https://www.fs.usda.gov/project/?project=59503
Additional information regarding this project or the public comment period can be obtained from: Christine Handler, Environmental Coordinator, christine. handler@usda.gov, 559-920-2188. The proposed project is an activity implementing a land management plan and is subject to pre-decisional objection process at 36 CFR 218 Subparts A and B. continued on page 2...

Gooding Public Library District Receives ARPA Funding
The Gooding Public Library District (GPLD) was awarded a grant of $17,000 federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding, which was granted through the Institutes of Museum and Library Services and the Idaho Commission for Libraries. The staff and board members of GPLD have used the grant funds to upgrade the computers and technology services throughout the library. Plexiglass dividers have been installed between the public computer stations, which allow safe spacing between patrons and access to all eight computers. Upgrades have also been made to the childrens’ computer stations, with the addition of a longer table to provide more distance between our young patrons. A UV sanitizing unit has been ordered, and it will be used to sanitize materials between uses, without causing damage to the materials. In addition, a small room will be repurposed to offer computer use in a more private setting for patrons to conduct interviews and tele-health appointments. Cindy Bigler, Library Director, said, “We are so grateful to receive this funding which has allowed the library to provide new, more efficient computers for our patrons, as well as enhancing the environment in the library. Receiving this grant has enabled us to better meet the technology needs of our community." Please stop by and see the improvements that have been made at your library! Throughout Idaho, 48 libraries of all types -- public, school, academic, and special, which includes tribal -- received this ARPA funding through a competitive grant process. “I am very pleased that the ICFL is able to assist all types of libraries with the ARPA funding," said State Librarian Stephaie Bailey-White. “And the funds will be distributed to libraries around our state, which is another important factor in the tremendous impact this funding will make for Idahoans throughout the Gem State." This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, grant number LS-250208-OLS-21.

Cup of Tee
Have you been driving down the road, looked ahead, and seen something very large taking up 3/4s of the roadway? What's that, you may have wondered! It could be green, yellow or even red. It has flashing lights that are lighting up all the space around it. Usually there are smaller lighted objects in front of the larger one. Do you think the large object is going to disappear prior to you getting to it? Probably not. You may be looking at a combine. They are large agricultural pieces of equipment that separate seeds from the rest of the plant. They may included corn, peas, beans, alfalfa, and flower seeds, etc. In the field, combines have a header that cuts or picks up the seed. These headers are usually 18 to 25 feet wide. The combine itself is about 16 feet wide. Once a field has been harvested, the combine will cross the road into another field or go down the road to another destination. In the state of Idaho, we are an agricultural state. Farm equipment has legal rights to use our highway system. When you see a pilot car warning you that something large is coming down the road, one should pay attention. It doesn't mean go faster and try to squeeze be-

tween the combine and the shoulder of the road. As one also knows, Idaho paints the fog lines on the side of the road which often limits shoulder space. Bridges across secondary roadways are narrower than the road. So many people try to beat a combine by 30 seconds to get across the bridge. This is a serious danger spot because there is no place to go for the combine. It's a good place to get your vehicle squashed to pieces and perhaps even yourself. Road conditions place the combine operator are great hazard as they try to navigate the machine down the road as safe as possible. People, we need to look down the road for all possible hazards at all times, not only when you see a combine - that means looking past your hood! Farm equipment usually don't travel much over 25 mph. You may have to slow down a little to be at comparable road speed. The biggest thing the general public needs to do is show a little patience. The roadways are for all, not just one or two. Pay attention to pilot vehicles (and large equipment) - they are there for reasons that could save your life. This is my “Cup of Tee” combining safety and common sense.

Freedom Flag at North Valley Academy
North Valley Academy in Gooding is ecstatic to have been exclusively chosen from among Idaho schools to represent our state and fly the Freedom Flag for the 20th anniversary of 9/11.
The Freedom Flag was designed by Richard Melito on September 20th, 2001, at his restaurant in Richmond, Virginia. The flag is a national symbol of remembrance for September 11, 2001. It has been 20 years since terrorists attacked the World Trade Center in New York City, and by extension, freedom itself. Today's K-12 students were all born after this tragic event and effectively have no memories of it, or the heroic responses of Americans that fateful day. As educators of the next generation, it is our responsibility and civic duty to pass the torch of remembrance on to future generations, so the sacrifices of that day are never forgotten. Educators agree the 10 symbolic elements of the Freedom Flag prove an effective teaching tool in classrooms, helping the current generation of students learn about the complicated sequence of events which took place on 9/11. You are invited to attend a ceremony honoring the memory of 9/11 as we raise the Freedom Flag over our school grounds. The ceremony will take place at 12:00 p.m. on September 10, 2021, at North Valley Academy (906 Main Street, Gooding Idaho). The ceremony will include a color guard from the local Civil Air Patrol, local speakers, and a luncheon to follow. We hope you will join us for this event as we celebrate and remember past sacrifices and honor those who tragically lost their lives on 9/11 and in the years following, to protect and preserve freedom in the United States of America. On display at the ceremony will be a piece of the World Trade Center Tower 1, North Valley Academy will have this special piece of history for a year. Please RSVP by calling the school at (208)-934-4567.
A Heartfelt Thank You, I would like to thank Carmen and Bailey at Stampede Burger for the great lunch they brought the Flower Building at the Fairgrounds. Our family and friends were together for my brother's Celebration of Life. Thank you to everyone who came to remember and honor George. JoAnne Varin Ireton
Let's talk about forest fires and climate change.
1. Huge amounts of carbon is added to our atmosphere. 2. In many cases the United States Forest Service recomends not extinguishing new fire starts. Their recomendation is often to let it be a controled burn. In other words, they play with fire. What happened to Smokey the Bear? 3. How much does this continued smoke affect people with lung and sinus problems? How about farm crops? 4. When we had all the saw mills going and more forest thinning, we had a healthier forest... less fires and less or no smoke. 5. Huge revenue was made from the sale of lumber, posts, poles, and fire wood in the days of saw mills, and more timber sales. The revenue supported many families and businesses. This situation also added much to the tax base. Today, trees are allowed to burn instead of adding to the economy. Gary Bradshaw - Fairfield, Idaho
