Water Bond in Gooding
On Thursday of last week, the Gooding City Council held the first of three meetings to discus the upcoming Bond Election scheduled for November 5th, 2013. Earlier this year, the district court rejected the city’s request for judicial conformation which would have approved spending money to improve the city’s water system without voter approval. The city still needs to address a number of problems including a flood irrigation system that is useless to a large percentage of residents and a potable water system that may not be able to meet the needs of the city (water demand and fire flow) in the next four or five years. To address these problems, the city is asking the voters to approve a $5 million bond. The bond will be used to install three new wells, upgrade water lines, and deal with the flood irrigation issue. For many, the down side is the increase in water fees that will be needed to repay the bond. The fee increase, which will not go into affect until the project is finished, is estimated at $30 to $40 per month, but some of that will depend on how much water a particular household uses. Two more meeting are scheduled: October 2nd and 29th at the Walker Center (605 11th Ave. East).

Settling in the Midst of Sagebrush Life in Early Southwest Idaho WEDNESDAY, September 18th 7:00 p.m. at the Gooding County Museum 273 Euskadi Lane, Gooding (Hwy 26/46)
Why did settlers come to Southwest Idaho? What was life like in this sagebrush region? In this slide presentation, Clark examines the factors that made settlement possible in the barren sagebrush desert of Southwest Idaho. She also looks at some elements of the early culture of this region. Is there a stereotypical image of “Wild West” based in myth or reality? Did early Idaho settlers tolerate drinking, gambling, and prostitution? What influence did women and ethnic groups have in the development of these early towns? The speaker, Lynda Campbell Clark, is the author of Nampa, Idaho: A Journey of Discovery, published in 1985 during Nampa’s centennial celebration. She also has edited a compilation of oral history interviews for Nampa’s People: Discovering Our Heritage (1986) and contributed a monograph to Religion and Culture (Richard W. Etulain and Raymond M. Cooke, editors; Albuquerque, NM: Far West books, 1991). She has taught as an adjunct professor for Boise State University and Northwest Nazarene University. Currently, she is Development Officer for Northwest Children’s Home in Nampa and is President of Nampa City Council. She also serves on the Board of Directors of Mercy Medical Center, Boys and Girls Club of Nampa and Nampa Council on Aging. Clark received her B.A. from Northwest Nazarene University, an M.A. in Political Science from the University of Idaho, and additional graduate study at Washington State University. The lecture is free, donations are appreciated. Refreshments to follow.

when he described teasing his dog by talking to it through the vacuum cleaner hose. But this is no dog-lover book, this is someone who likes and keeps exotic birds. This book is light hearted and deserves to be read, but I have to spit out my opinion: I believe that birds do not love cages or solitude. Even Porgy and Bess had that figured out “fish gotta swim and birds gotta fly”. So while I love the telling, and find the author witty and droll (did I mention Cary Grant yet?) I want to sneak over and take his birds back to the jungles from whence they were stolen. Remember, it is better to fly into the talons of a bird of prey than never to have flown at all. I saw that scratched into the cage of a lonely parakeet, so I know it is true.

obit ua r ies Donald Bradshaw
Donald Glenn Bradshaw, 66, a resident of Gooding, passed away peacefully at his home on Monday, September 2, 2013. Don died from complications resulting from liver and colon cancer, which he was diagnosed with in 2011. He was born on September 19, 1946, in Beaver, Utah, to Ray and Ruth Bradshaw. He grew up on a family farm with two sisters and three brothers. As a young man, he served a mission for the L.D.S. Church in New Zealand, and developed a lifelong love of the Polynesian people. After completing his mission, he attended school at Utah State University, graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Education. Just before finishing his degree, he met and married his sweetheart, Sandra Stevens in the St. George, Utah Temple on June 13, 1969. They were married for 44 years and had 5 children: Chester (Kacy) of Rockland, Idaho; Heather of Henderson, Nevada; Michael (Michelle) of Logan, Utah; Melissa (Roger) of Henderson, Nevada; and Holly (Lucas) of Mountain View, Wyoming. The newlyweds lived in southern Utah, Arizona and Montana, before purchasing a farm in Gooding, Idaho in 1976. For over 35 years, Don and Sandra produced a variety of row crops and raised Red Angus beef cattle together. Don loved his family dearly, and especially enjoyed his 17 grandchildren, with whom he developed special relationships. He avidly attended their sporting events or other activities, and would proudly boast of their accomplishments. Don also liked camping and being outdoors, especially in the mountains. Don was an active member of the L.D.S. Church, serving faithfully in many capacities including ward and stake leadership, and developing countless close friendships. He was a natural “people person” and had a way of making others feel comfortable. Don was also a great listener who had a gift for helping people find their own path. His genuine caring and love for others touched the hearts of many. He will be missed by all. A funeral service was held on Friday, September 6, 2013 at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Gooding. There was also a viewing held at the L.D.S. Church prior to the funeral from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Interment followed at the Elmwood Cemetery. Funeral arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel.

Dutch married the love of his life, LaDonna M. Murphy on November 26, 1948, in Twin Falls, Idaho, where they lived for many years, later moving to Bliss for the remainder of his life.

He was a 4-H leader for the Bliss Brush and Curry 4-H clubs, a member of the Bliss School Board, a Deacon and youth leader at the Bliss Community Church, and a lifetime Deacon and youth leader of the First Church of the Brethren in Twin Falls. His children, grandchildren, farming, horses, hunting, fly-tying and fishing, were his passions.

Letter to the Editor [with notes] The following letter/column was submitted by the Communications Director for the Canyon County Democrats. She is also an author of historical fiction. While everyone has a right to their opinions and much of this article is laudable, there are a number of things in it that are clearly misleading. The writer is absolutely correct that Americans should be outraged at the things that are going on in our country, but let’s be outraged at the right things.
Where’s the Outrage?
by Judy Ferro
“Where’s the outrage?” a columnist asked last week. Okay, I agree that lobbyists drawing state pensions is wrong--but I can’t muster an extra spark of outrage. Right now I’m outraged that the United States is considering military action in Syria even though 80% or so of the American people are against it, even though neither side in that war qualifies as “good guys,” even though the Syrian conflict poses no threat to the United Legal Notices ~ Legal Notices ~ Legal Notices erations. Commissioner Backstrom made a motion to approve the amended plat of Lanier Subdivision upon the conditions that includes a 60 ft easement and verification of the Road & Bridge required street standards. A roll call vote showed all in favor. Commissioner McMurdo made a motion to approve the minutes of June 10th, 17th, and 24th. Seconded by Commissioner Backstrom. Unanimous. Adjourned at 12: 04 pm. July 22, 2013 The meeting was called to order at 9:05 am by Chairman Janet Croner. Also present were Commissioner Backstrom, Commissioner McMurdo, and Clerk Korri Blodgett. The Board reviewed the agenda. Commissioner Backstrom made a motion to approve the agenda as posted. Seconded by Commissioner McMurdo. Unanimous. The Board discussed the water right issue. Commissioner Backstrom made a motion to authorize the Chair to sign the petition on the Water Rights. Seconded by Commissioner McMurdo. Unanimous. The Board reviewed a Medically Indigence Benefits Lien. Commissioner McMurdo made a motion to authorize the Chair to sign the Medical Lien. Seconded by Commissioner Backstrom. Unanimous. Panning & Zoning Administrator Dwight Butlin met with the Board to review the Findings of Fact & Conclusion of Law relating to the Lanier Sub #2 application. Commissioner McMurdo made a motion to approve the Findings of Lanier Sub #2. Seconded by Commissioner Backstrom. Unanimous. The Board entered into Executive Session per Idaho Code 672345(1) (d) to consider records that are exempt from disclosure. A roll call vote showed all in favor. The Board entered into executive session at 11:50 a.m. The Board came out of executive session at 12:10 p.m. The Board reviewed a Declaration of Disaster for Camas County. It was the consensus of the Board to sign and submit the letter of Declaration of Disaster. There being no further business the Board adjourned at 12:20 p.m.
...but never Compromising the Truth.
States. I’m outraged that consumers can’t make decisions about genetically-modified food and that the courts have upheld corporations’ right to lie about everything except the products they are selling, and that drug companies can hide research results. I’m outraged that Americans believe global warming is a maybe thing even as once-a-century storms appear every three years or so, polar bears suffer without ice floes, and our sandy beaches are disappearing. I’m outraged that radioactive fish are being found off our Pacific shores, that huge dead spots exist in the Gulf off Florida, and that fracking-caused earthquakes are occurring in Ohio—and possibly Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas. I’m outraged that the richest 600+ people in the country put nearly $1 billion into buying 2012 elections. I’m outraged that the purpose of government today seems to be to funnel taxpayer money to private corporations—that million dollar donors generally get $10 back for every $1 spent. So we’re looking at private jails, armies, roads, bridges, water systems, etc., that will cost us far more than the taxes we’re avoiding. I’m outraged that weaker, smaller corporations of the 1950s provided 75% of tax dollars while the behemoths of today provide 20%. I’m outraged that pseudoephedrine is still on the market even though its primary use seems to be making meth. Sales in Mississippi fell 99.5% when it was made a prescription drug—followed by drops in thefts, meth lab raids,
The Courier News and serious burn victims. I’m outraged that the United States jails more of its citizens than any other country in the world. I’m outraged that state after state is making it more difficult for people to vote. I’m outraged that Gov. Otter claimed that education is his top priority, but vowed to repeal the personal property tax. I’m outraged that Tom Luna signed a $50 million dollar contract to put Wi-Fi in public schools—not the Internet, we’re already paying for that—without legislative authorization. I’m outraged that Idaho School Board Association used money voters paid for schools to get legislators to reenact proposition one—and
part of two. That’s simply all the outrage I can manage for today. Maybe tomorrow. ––––––– If this article had ended after the first two paragraphs, there would be little to quibble with. Unfortunately, the writer then goes off on a number of things that we can’t do anything about (i.e. the weather/climate and radioactive fish floating in from the Fukushima accident in Japan). She also includes a little thing about fracking-caused earthquakes, an idea that has been totally debunked. On the political side of things it should be pointed out that money pours into election campaigns from both sides - Republican and Democrat. The charge that states are making it more difficult for people to vote
September 11, 2013
is true, except the people who are being prevented from voting are illegal emigrates and others who can’t legally vote anyway. Frankly, there was very little in this article to be outraged about, but here is something that should outrage us all. There is German family trying to emigrate to the U.S. to escape religious persecution (they homeschool their children). They have gone through the legal process and one court has already said they could stay. The Department of ‘Justice’ challenged that decision and the case may now be headed to the Supreme Court. The outrage is that this is the same administration that wants to give amnesty to 10 to 15 million illegal emigrates. Now there’s something to be outraged about.
