Trinity Ridge New Playground & Frisbee Course Fire Update: NW of Featherville/SE of Idaho City Personnel: 1,150 Size: 145,696 acres 43% contained As of Sunday, September 2nd, residents of Featherville are being allowed to return to their homes, with proof of residency. Containment was reported at 68% on Monday, but revised to 43% Tuesday due to a calculation error. The main area of concern is now the western flank. Crews are preparing the Middle Fork Road for the fire's approach. Helicopters are being used to slow the fire's movement toward the Middle Fork of the Boise River. Four Hotshot crews are fighting the fire directly along its western flank, in the Pete, Repeat, Big Five and Sheep Creek drainages. On the northern side, fire activity in the Weatherby and West Warrior Peak is being patrolled and monitored by air. Crews are also using brush-shredding equipment to create a contingency fireline from Thorn Creek Butte to Rabbit Creek Summit. In the southern quadrant of the fire, crews have finished most of the active fire line construction and are shifting their focus to mop-up and using helicopters to cool hotspots in isolated areas where the fire skipped pockets of fuel. Overall, the southern and eastern flanks of the fire are looking increasingly secure. Weather conditions are expected to be warm and dry over the fire area, but a weak front across the fire tuesday afternoon and potential wind gusts from the northwest caused some concerns.
Last Wednesday, the Idaho School for the Deaf and the Blind held a dedication ceremony for their new playground equipment and frisbee golf course. The money for this project was approved nearly six years ago by the State of Idaho, but for various reasons the project didn’t move forward until this year. Despite the delay, however, it was well worth the wait. The school administrator, Brian Darcy, said the frisbee golf course is open to anyone who wants to play (ISDB students have priority). The starting point is in the trees next to the parking lot at 14th Ave. E. & Main Street (where the Tuesday farmers market is held). Stop by the office if you need a course map. Joining Mr. Darcy in the ribbon cutting for the playground was the Executive Director of the Idaho Council for the Deaf and Hard of H e a r i n g ( C D H H ) , Steven Snow. Mr. Snow attended ISDB from the age of two until he graduated seventeen years later. In 1998, Steven Snow he graduated
from Gallaudet University with a bachelors in Communication, and spent seven years working as an Academic/Career Advisor. After a brief time in Washington D.C., he moved his family back to Idaho to take his current job at CDHH in Boise. In his keynote address, Steve Snow said ISDB was his second home while growing up, and it provided him with opportunities that he would have never had elsewhere. There was encouragement, not only from the teachers and staff, but from entire Gooding Community. ISDB came to Gooding over one hundred years ago, and while it has had its ups and downs, it has been a indispensable cornerstone for that community. Currently, there are about 90 students at the Gooding Campus, but nearly 1500 students statewide are served through IESDB outreach programs.

The Gooding Garden Society would like to thank everyone that entered boquets of floweres and living containers to the Flower Department at the Gooding County Fair. They were all so beautiful and the third year in our wonderful, air-conditioned building was so spectacular that all of our visitors were filled with awe at how gorgous it all was. We were excited to have a few kiddos entering and we hope for more next year. It is a fun expirience for them. So... if you have children, encourage them in gardening. It can become a life time of enjoyment. I personally want to thank all the members fo the Garden Society for pitching in to share the work load. It take time and effort to turn out such a great show. Along with the people who brought their entries, I believe we brought joy to a lot of people. Ruth Brown - President, Gooding Garden Society

Intermountain Christian Camp Open House - September 15, 2012 Almost 20 years ago, Intermountain Christian Camp and Boise Christian Homes joined together to purchase the Bundy Youth Ranch located 6 miles north of Fairfield. Since then, volunteers from the 27 member churches (and others) have spent countless hours building and remodeling the various buildings on the property. The result is a facility that provides week-long camps throughout the summer for kids and adults. The six cabins (3 for boys & 3 for girls) house 20 people per cabin, but there is plenty of room for tents as well. For those who want to bring an RV, there are 8 full hook-ups plus parking area for others. The open house on September 15th is to celebrate the completion of the lodge which now has 17 rooms and can sleep up to 40 people. This addition will allow the camp to expand their services and offer winter-time camps or retreats. ICC can easily serve groups up to 150 people with housing and meals, and while the main purpose of the camp is to put on events for Christian organizations, the facilities can be rented out to other groups (there have been several weddings at ICC). The camp managers, Robin and Sue Harrison, have been at the camp for 30 years. Mr. Harrison said that while it has been a lot of hard work, it has also been an absolute joy. He also added that the camp is completely debt-free, thanks to the volunteers and generous donations. You are invited to the camp on Saturday, September 15th from 11 to 3, and to participate in the dedication service of the multipurpose building (the lodge) at 1:00 p.m. Those attending are asked to RSVP so they know how much food to prepare for the BBQ starting at noon. Send your message to robnsue@frontier.com, or call 764-2204 or 961-0652. You can also go to their website; iccfairfield.com

Brett Eugene Hall Brett Eugene Hall, 42, of Gooding, left us way too early Sunday, Aug. 26, 2012, at 7:30 p.m. surrounded by those who loved him. His pain was more than his body could bear and God said, “No more.” Brett was born in Buhl, Idaho, on a snowy winter night, Dec. 10, 1969, in the office of Dr. Vern Anderson. He couldn’t wait to get into the world and, to our sadness, wouldn’t wait to leave. Brett began school in Buhl but graduated from Gooding High School in 1988. He attended classes at CSI, with the goal of teaching high school. Brett loved his children, his family, his friends, music and his dogs. Brett’s love was always available for every person. Brett married Tracie Pruett in 1990, and to that marriage, were born three beautiful daughters whom he cherished. He later married Kathy Teater and loved the children who were added to his family through that union. In time, through changes that happen in life, he married Debbie Leija and inherited four of her children as sons and daughters. Brett is survived by his wife, Debbie of Gooding; mother, Letty Beerly (Jerry) of Gooding; father, Don Hall (Linda) of Prescott, Ariz.; brothers, Shane Hall of Twin Falls, Gary Beerly of Gooding and Rick Beerly of Washington, Utah. He is also survived by three lovely daughters, Jamie Hall, Hailey Craner (Jake) and Lucy Hall of Twin Falls. His newest loves were his granddaughters, Emyka Trey Hutchinson and Zoey Craner; and soon-to-be grandson, Brett Michael Craner. He is also survived by his beautiful nieces, Julia and Lacy; as well as other children that came into his life who he embraced with all of his heart. Brett was preceded in death by his grandparents whom he cherished, Roy and Alice Davis Stricklan and Don and Bonnie Hall; and his much-loved uncle, Raymond Stricklan. Brett’s greatest attribute was love. He loved without condition from the day he was born until the Lord took him home. A memorial celebration for Brett was held on Friday, August 31, at the First Christian Church in Buhl, with burial following at Buhl’s West End Cemetery. He now rests with his grandparents and his uncle whom he loved deeply.

...but never Compromising the Truth.
from the Editor Last week, the Courier NEWS ran an article entitled “50 Shades or Zeller.” We need to clarify that this article did not come from the Gooding Library (or any other library). The reason this clarification is needed is that, libraries are not suppose to promote one book over another. The other reason clarification is needed is because that article referred to books by E.L. James - 50 Shades of Grey, etc. - as porn. Librarians across America are often caught in the middle of the “freedom of expression” argument that is used to excuse or justify “borderline” pornography. At the core of this argument is the question, “What is pornography?” The popular answer is, “I don’t know how to describe it, but I know it when I see it,” a phrase made famous in the 1964 Supreme Court obscenity case - Jacobellis v. Ohio. Obscenity is not protected under the U.S. Constitution and things such as pornography can be banned or regulated. But, the line between a work of obscenity and a work of “social importance” is very blurry. The court’s definition of obscenity is this: material where the dominant theme appeals to the prurient interest, or that which the average person would disapprove of. Clearly, what one person might call obscene, another person might not. Yet, in many cases, what we are really talking about is money. To be successful, a book or a movie, must have the widest circulation possible. If a movie gets an “R” or an “NC-17” rating, it can limit the number of viewers. The same is true for written works - if a book or magazine is labeled pornography, it can be banned from libraries and/or certain book stores. The solution for movie producers is to tone things down to get a better rating. Publishers can do the same thing, or they can call it something else, like erotica. Despite the fact that the two words have almost identical definitions, erotica is considered to have “social and artistic” merit, while labeling something pornography is considered derogatory. Which ever word you use, neither term is derogatory in and of itself - they are simply words that describe the style and function of a collection of words and/or photographs intended to stimulate sexual excitement or desire. The derogatory aspect of “pornography” comes from the fact that it is addictive (American Society of Addiction Medicine). Pornography floods the brain with chemicals that cause intense pleasure, and like many drugs, the body becomes desensitized to those chemicals. In order to achieve the same level of pleasure, the pornography must change (words to photos, photos to video, etc.). How far this addiction goes depends on the individual, but serial killers like Gary Bishop, Ted Bundy, and Jeffrey Dahmer, all attributed their crimes to pornography. It was not overtly stated in the “50 Shades or Zeller” article, but, reading “borderline” porn or erotic is (especially for young readers) no different than smoking marijuana. It is a gateway to other more damaging literature.

Cup of Tee Your Local Libraries...
Hope everyone had a good Labor Day Holiday. To many it is a close of major summer activities, bringing on fall. To some of us it is back to school. In days of early, school never started until Labor Day was complete. Now school starts in August, which to me is still summer. In Eastern Idaho some schools don’t start even yet until after Labor Day. The families and students are in the mist of harvest whereas every hand that is available is used. Goods and services is what this country bases it’s economy on. Immigrants from every country in the world have come to America to follow the American dream or at least trade their services for a living. It is fitting to say the nation has a holiday (Labor Day) to pay tribute to the creator of so much of the nation’s strength, freedom and leadership – The American worker. The vital force of labor has created the highest standard of living and the greatest production the world has ever known. A truck sized salute goes to the American worker on this Labor Day. Labor Day is the first Monday in September and was created by the labor movement to appreciate the social and economic achievements of the American worker. As every country that grows, we as a country have had own labor issues throughout time. The current time is still a time of great conflict. Jobs, homes, securities and futures are many situations facing workers and our countries today. We definitely need a movement to get Americans back to work to get that sense of achievement they once had. On the same token the people have to want to work to achieve. The first Labor Day celebration was on September 5th, 1882 in New York City in accordance with the plans of The Central Labor Union. It was created to celebrate the “workingman’s holiday.” Even though New York was the first state to introduce the bill into legislation, the state of Oregon was the first to pass it into law on February 21, 1887. During that year four more states – Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York created the Labor Day holiday by legislative enactment. By 1894, 23 other states had enacted legislation for Labor Day holiday. Our state became a territory in 1863 and a state in 1890. By the time we were just becoming a state, Labor Day was recognized as a holiday throughout the country. I don’t know exactly when Idaho recognized the Labor Day holiday, but it surely has been in the “works” of our statehood all along. Hopefully this Labor Day you enjoyed a celebration of some sort. But even more so I hope you were able to think about why we have a Labor Day and reflect what it takes to get this country back to work. As for myself I personally worked the holiday to show my tribute. This is my “Cup of Tee” breaking for work. Tee Hurd
