Protecting Your Community The basic role of government is to provide protection of life and property. Providing for those services, however, is not always as simple as paying taxes. In small communities like Lincoln, Camas, and Gooding, fire protection is provided almost exclusively by volunteers. Sometimes those volunteers are compensated when they go out on a call, but that is a small reward for taking time off from a job, leaving family in the middle of the night, or taking the risks they take every time they fight a fire. Busy fire departments, like the Gooding City/Rural Fire Department, may have more than 250 calls per year, while smaller fire departments like Fairfield may have less than 20 calls per year. Big or small, all of these fire departments rely on volunteers who may or may not be available at a particular time. Reasons for this may be work or family related. They could be traveling, or they might be ill. What ever the reason, it is important that there are always other volunteers available. Yet, it is not enough to just have “warm bodies.� All of these volunteers need to be trained to use fire fighting equipment safely and efficiently. Unfortunately, it is this training that makes it hard to attract and keep volunteers. Brandon Covey, the Fire Chief in Gooding, says that about one volunteer in five stays with the department long term.

30 Plus Years - $300,000 For the last 18 years, Edith Silvey has been a solid fixture at the North Canyon Medical Center Thrift Store. Since 2000 she has also been the manager of the nonprofit business that helps provide equipment to enhance patient care at the Gooding hospital. Thanks in part to moving the store to it current location (330 Main Street) and being open 6 days-a-week, the NCMC Thrift Store has (this year) reached and exceeded a goal of $300,000 in contributions since the store first opened in 1981, and they have no intentions of stopping. The thirty-five members of NCMC Thrift Store Auxiliary all volunteer at least 2 days a month working at the store (some put in a lot more), and together they decide what sort of equipment to buy for the hospital. Over the years, they have purchased microscopes used in surgery, cooling blankets, and scanners. They have also provided special machines that help reduce

the pain of a colonoscopy and help patients medicate themselves. Yet, all of that would not be possible without the donations to the store and the individuals who regularly shop there. Not only do customers find great items to buy, they are helping provide top quality healthcare to Gooding and the surrounding areas. Much of the credit for the success of the NCMC Thrift Story belongs to Edith Silvey, but this Friday will be her last day as its manager. While she said it is sad to leave, she is also very proud of what the volunteer ladies do, and the overwelming support Just a few of the ladies that make it all possible. from the community.

Fish & Game Open House JEROME – The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is seeking comments on proposed changes to statewide fishing rules, regional fishing rules, and its 2013-2018 5-year Statewide Fisheries Management Plan. There is an open-house meeting on Wednesday, September 26, from 5 - 7 p.m. at the Regional Office in Jerome, at 324 South 417 East, Suite 1, Jerome, Idaho, two miles north of the Flying J off of Highway 93. The only local proposed change would be to re-establish a “six bass bag limit; no length limit” regulation on Magic Reservoir. Other proposed changes include adopting a three-year fishing rule period (currently two-year); increase the statewide spring steelhead bag limit to 40 fish per season (current bag limit is 20-steelhead for the Spring season), and increase spring season limits on Salmon River from Long Tom Creek (3/4 mile upstream from the Middle Fork Salmon River) to posted boundary 100 yards downstream of Sawtooth Hatchery to six fish per day and 18 in possession. “The Fish and Game Commission will be considering these rule changes in November. We need to hear from our sportsman because these changes affect them,” said Doug Megargle, Regional Fishery Manager. Comments can be provided to the Department anytime by phone, email (MVFishery@idfg.idaho.gov), on the internet (https:// fishandgame.idaho.gov/content/webform/proposed-fishing-ruleschanges), walk-in, or come to the scheduled open-house. Individuals with disabilities may request meeting accommodations by contacting the Jerome Regional Office at the Idaho Department of Fish and Game directly at 208-324-4359 or through the Idaho Relay Service at 1-800-377-2529 (TDD).

Coming To Gooding The internationally-acclaimed Harlem Ambassadors will be visiting Gooding for a game at the Gooding High School on November 15 at 7:00 pm. The Harlem Ambassadors offer a unique brand of Harlemstyle basketball, featuring high-flying slam dunks, dazzling ballhandling tricks and hilarious comedy routines. The Ambassadors feature non-stop laughs and deliver a positive message for kids wherever the Ambassadors play. “At our shows, we want the kids to know that they’re part of our team too,” Coach Ladè Majic said. “We invite as many kids as we can to come sit on the bench, have a front row seat during the show, and get involved in all of the fun stuff we do.” The Ambassadors set themselves apart from other “Harlemstyle” basketball teams by working with local not-for-profit and service organizations and holding Harlem Ambassadors shows as community fundraising events. For Gooding’s event the Ambassadors have partnered with the Gooding Chamber of Commerce and Valley Country Stores to help raise funds for Scholarships & Community Projects. The Ambassadors have worked extensively with organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, Boys & Girls Clubs, Big Brothers Big Sisters and American Red Cross as well as Rotary, Lions and Kiwanis clubs in communities throughout the U.S., and perform more than 200 shows a year. Those shows have helped raise millions of dollars – an accomplishment of which Ambassadors President Dale Moss is very proud. “It feels good to be able to provide quality entertainment and create memories that the fans will take with them,” Moss explained. “We’re able to give even more when we can help provide funding for a Habitat for Humanity house or new computers for the school library, and that feels great.”

...but never Compromising the Truth.
The Courier NEWS - 7
...Fire Protection continued training weeds out all but the most dedicated individuals. On a practical level, this all means that our rural fire departments are often short of personnel. In fact, earlier this year during a fire call in Fairfield, none of the official volunteers were available. The call, which was covered by the sheriff department and a former volunteer, turned out to be nothing, but it was not a good situation. More volunteers have since joined that department, but Fairfield Fire Chief Monte Cangiamilla says they can always use more. In Shoshone, Fire Chief Casey Kelly has spent the last year rebuilding a department that was hard hit by another problem that often plagues small fire departments - interpersonal conflict.
While most of the problems have been solved, there are still hurt feelings in that community. Chief Kelly said it is a slow process of healing, but his job is to be as professional as possible, and sometimes you just have to say, “That’s the past. Let’s move on.” As you can see, protecting your home or property from fire is not always simple. Our volunteer fire fighters face many struggles as they learn how to put out fires, but they rarely receive the thanks they deserve when they risk their lives to save your home. What can you do? First, talk with your Fire Chief about volunteering (not everything they do requires a young, strapping athlete). Second, understand that it take a lot of hard work to be fire fighter. Third, give them a hardy THANK YOU everytime you see them around town.

Cup of Tee
This time of your everyone is getting ready for hunting season, if they have not already gone. With a couple of hunters, they will usually meet at one specific spot or one will pick the other up. They will commute together or share the same ride to get to the same destination. At some point they will determine whose vehicle they are going to use to do the hunt. Three may go in a pickup, but if there are four, they will probably use a car, unless they have a four-door pickup. The minivan may take the three-person-plus group of hunters. In years of early, we would use the station wagon. At any rate, there is a vehicle in service to transport hunters. This last Saturday night, through the election process, I took my truck to go hunting. I guess since I was the only one voting, it was an easy decision to decide whose vehicle I would use. Going down Highway 52 near New Plymouth, Idaho, I was traveling at 55 miles-per-hour. In the middle of the road was a deer. I applied brake, but the deer changed directions in the middle of the stream. Needless to say I hit the deer pretty hard with my pickup. I notified the authorities and they were there post haste. They asked me if I wanted the deer (new regulations for road kill). I didn’t keep the deer and the authorities took care of it. My current pickup, due to the price of gas, is a little Mazda. I was very fortunate because the only real damage was a little of my grille, a headlight, a blinker, minor finder and hood damage. My Ford F250 managed to get a deer a couple of years ago as well. I have come to the conclusion that if you are hunting deer with a pickup, it’s probably cheaper if you hunt with a rifle instead. The cost of body work versus ammunition is a vast difference. Why do a large amount of deer get hit during September? Technically, September is the biggest month for farm harvest throughout our state. With the machinery moving everywhere, deer move about more. With lessened habitat, they move to different places for safety and feeding. Maybe I’m wrong but I also believe one of the biggest causes of deer accidents is the headlights on our vehicles today. They shine more to the side than forward like our old round headlights (still my favorite), and with fog lights, that shine is like flood lights. How can deer even see? Please be careful this time of year with wildlife. If you see red eyes or movement on the roadways, use caution. This is my “Cup of TEE” ware.

...but never Compromising the Truth.
Letter to the Editor Dear Neighbors, I would like to ask that who ever has been helping themselves to harvesting the fruit at my house up Soldier Creek... PLEASE STOP. It has happened before but most recently I was watching more than a hundred precious pears ripening in the autumn sun and then there were none! My trees are all in deer proof cages so I am sure you will understand that, in the future I want my family to be able to savor the fruits of all that labor. Thank you for respecting my request, Karen Sherrerd
