As the fall chill filled the air and the leaves turned to browns, golds and crimson colors; football games, drill team, band, pep club and cheerleader practices along with a myriad of fall festivities occupied our lives. Homecoming games and dances captured our youthful spirits. As I recall most of us were involved in so many school activities that we certainly would not have had time for trouble making. Of course, being a cheerleader took hours of time in preparation for doing the cheers just right to ensure a win for our home team, which was the Hagerman Pirates. Dreaming up the season's cheerleader uniforms was always fun. Being our Cheerleader Mascot, my senior year was an honor, so I designed my outfit which was a beautiful bell sleeved orange blouse tucked into a short black maneuverable skirt with a sash tied around my waist of the same orange material as the blouse. Then a short black bolero with an orange decorative half inch strip lining the vest was placed over the blouse. To top it off was my black eye-patch which of course was a must for a Pirate. Faye Tupper who was known far and wide for her sewing skills made this swell uniform.
Many of my classmates and I would multitask during football season. We would change our outfits several times throughout the night to fit the current activity. The fellows playing on the field quickly changed into band uniforms for the halftime entertainment. Several of us Cheerleaders also changed into band costumes and at homecoming if one was selected to the homecoming court another change was made into a formal dress. It was a blast as three of us in the court road onto the football field seated on the back of a convertible and then were escorted by the captain of the football team and a couple other players to a designated place in front of the bleachers. My friend, Diana Timney, who was one of our newer classmates in town was crowned homecoming

queen in our senior year of which we were all very happy. Most of the same group of students who were usually engaged in the school activities decorated for the homecoming dance and in those days, we had a real live band playing songs done by groups like "Three Dog Night". If one didn't have an official date for the evening, we would stand around the sides of the Gymnasium with our friends until a young man would bravely walk across the room and ask for a dance. In the small-town way, we would always politely accept the offer. Of course, at the Senior and Junior Proms we usually had an official date. Looking back, I really didn't prefer to have a steady boyfriend and enjoyed going to the Proms with a new fellow each time! We were all friends, and variety was the spice of life!

Hayrides and bonfires were a mainstay as fall came around. My sister. Lora and I were a part of a Christian Youth Group. Without fail on a Saturday, my mom would encourage us to call our school friends to come join us for youth group on Sunday night. It was always the most fun to ask them to join us for the hayride and marshmallow roast. Loads of laughter accompanied our gathering as the adult chaperons handed us each a cup of hot cocoa or apple cider to keep us warm as we piled onto the truck flocked by hay bales. Hats and mittens were a must and layers of socks, sweatshirts, and long johns over jeans kept us warm. Songs of faith and laughter spilled out as we drove around town and then out into the countryside to our bonfire destination where we were met with cut willows long enough to reach the fire to hold several hotdogs and later Marshmallows sometimes burnt to a crisp. Words like safe, fun, supportive, warmth and connection come to mind from those High School years in our small town.
During the earlier days, Hagerman had 5 churches: The Methodist, LDS, Catholic, Baptist and Reorganized LDS. Everyone respected the other's faith and often supported activities sponsored by the other churches in town. On General Election Day in November, the whole town seemed to come together. AS far back as the 1960's on election day each November, the ladies at the Methodist Church would hold a Harvest Dinner with Turkey and all the fix ins, like mash potatoes and gravy,

There is a movement afoot to radically change Idaho elections. It is Proposition 1 and it is on the ballot this November. Prop 1 has 2 parts, an open primary and ranked choice voting for the general election.
The “open primary” has traditionally referred to a primary where we could vote for candidates from either party. The Prop 1 “open primary” is misleading. It is really a populist free for all. Many refer to it as “jungle primary”. Any number of candidates can run for office with any political party affiliation. Alaska had a US Representative ballot with 48 names! This system is designed for tom-foolery and deception. It would open the door for even greater manipulation by out of state dark money. It would lead to the destruction of political parties as they now exist. States with this system in place have a more liberal slate of candidates for the general election.
Prop 1 also establishes ranked choice voting. The top 4 primary candidates would be on the general election ballot. The top-four could all be from one party! Your choice would be to rank the candidates top to bottom, 1, 2, 3, and 4. The ballots would then be processed by a complex computer algorithm to select a winner. If no candidate receives a majority vote, the candidate with the lowest number of votes is dropped and those ballots remaining choices would be reassigned to the remaining candidates. This procedure continues until a candidate receives a majority of the ballots still remaining.
In Maine elections, 60% of the winners did not receive a majority of the people who voted! 11% of the ballots were “exhausted”, or thrown out, because of the process! And thousands of ballots were not counted because they were filled out wrong.
This is a complicated system that is hard to understand, difficult to count and extremely difficult to audit. There is no paper trail, no way to directly connect physical ballots to the outcome
This takes the process out of the hands of the local election committee and subjects it to “experts” using a system they may or may not completely understand. Ranked choice elections have taken up to 6 weeks to determine the winner! I believe the average voter will feel frustrated and disenfranchised by a complicated, convoluted scheme of manipulating elections.
So who benefits from these changes? Liberals and radical liberals who want to dilute our conservative values of limited government, faith, family and freedom. Proposition 1 has huge support and dark money from out-of-state organizations. Do you think out-of-state dark money and people like George Soros have the best interest of Idahoans at heart? I don’t think so either.

dressing and of course, homemade apple and pumpkin pie. People voted in person at the Legion Hall and afterwards came and visited at the dinner. No matter what side of the political isle one stood, it was a celebration of freedom and sharing mutually respected ideas. My mom, Florence Mary Sandy, was, all her life, a dedicated Republican as was her mother, Ethel Justice Jones. So much so that she was the Chairwoman for the Gooding County Republican Womens' Group for 17 years. No one ever needed to guess or question who she would be voting for in every general election.
In fact, she looked forward to election day and voting in person up through her 100th Birthday. She loved to share how she hadn't missed voting in a general election since she was old enough to vote which at that time was age 21. She considered it an honor and a privilege. Di and Drich Bowler, a local well-known couple who created the "Snake River Pottery" located at a picturesque spot on the old Bliss Grade, were Florence Mary's good friends. They happened to be on the other side of the political isle. One day, they called my mom and invited her to attend a Democratic Meeting in the area. She said, "Sure I will go." That evening, as they pulled up to our home, the Bowlers were chuckling and when Mom was getting comfortably seated in their vehicle, they told her. "We knew that you would follow through on your word and join us." They had a great time and a civil discussion on the way home about the issues presented that evening at the meeting. As we approach our upcoming election, may the spirit of freedom and civil discourse preside remembering our founding fathers and all those brave men and women who have gone before who so valiantly fought to preserve our freedoms to live and work in passing down to generations all these rights, we hold so dear.
As we look forward to a white December and treasure cherished Christmas memories.......
