Cub Scouts: Learning and Giving Service
The Cub Scouts of Pack 387 both received and gave community service this week. The Cub Scouts invited two guest speakers
to their regular den meetings. The first was Tammy, a dental hygienist form Valley Family Health. She demonstrated proper
brushing and flossing techniques to the boys. Then they played a
nutrition game to emphasize the importance of overall good
health.

The second guest speaker was Simon Tiesler, a foreign exchange student for Germany at New Plymouth High School.
Simon taught the Cubs how to count to ten in German. He explained the German public school system to the boys and then the
taught them two German games. The first game, Sardines, is a bit
like hide and seek. The second game, Burn, is like kickball but so
much more fun!

The Cub Scouts also did some community service. After learning the proper way to raise, lower and fold the American flag they
participated in a "Retiring Worn Flags" Ceremony. Over the past
months the Pack has collected several torn, faded and soiled
American flags for disposal. The ceremony has four parts. First the
flag's history, where and when it flew, is stated. Then the flag is
cut into four pieces, one blue field and three red and white striped
fields. Then the flag in burned. Once the flag is out the ashes are
buried. During the ceremony the Scouts read the importance of the
American flag and honored the flags for their service to our country.

Middle School competes in final track
meet of 2006 season
On Friday May 5th, the New Plymouth Middle School Track & Field
team traveled to Vale, Oregon for the
2006 Western Idaho Conference
Track Championships.
The 4-hour-long event was a good
one for New Plymouth. In addition to
several champions, New Plymouth
also had a lot of just-plain-good efforts by the young athletes.
The host school did not send out
He said, “We had a lot of kids do just extraordinary at their events. They tried really hard.” The
WIC Champions from the meet include:
8th Grader Todd Lindstrom, a double champ in
both Long Jump and Triple Jump
7th Grader Tiffany Lindstrom, another double
champ in the 100m and the 200m. She set a new
NPMS record at the 200m of 28.12
8th Grader Justin Tate, a triple champ at the
100m, 200m, and 400m.
When asked about some other results he could
recall that the Boys Medley took 2nd,
The academic program will focus on developmental skills, reading, math,
and language arts for pre-school through sixth grade. Middle school students in seventh and eighth grade will participate in core classes that they
did not pass or complete. Mr. Hartshorn, the middle school counselor, will
be contacting parents in regards to their child’s program.
Sabrina Braese placed in Shot (after making the
best Put of her life), and Chantelle Chase placed in
Discus. There were many other places, both boys
and girls. We hope to have the complete results in
time for next week’s paper.
Senior high students who need to retake a class for credit may select a
P.A.S.S. course or other correspondence course. A teacher will be available three nights a week for five weeks to assist students with these
courses. Classes will be held from June 12–July 14. Parents will be responsible for transportation and the cost of P.A.S.S. classes. Mrs. Gaskins,
the high school counselor, will be contacting parents about this program.
The district will provide transportation for students enrolled in the day
program that live in the busing zone. Registration for summer school will
be from May 8th through May 18th. It will be from 8:00 am. until 3:30
pm. at the Elementary School, 704 S. Plymouth Ave. For more information, call Lynda Hall or Angela White at 278-5035 at the New Plymouth
Elementary School.
the final results of the meet before this newspaper
went to press, so we interviewed Coach Rick
Hartshorn and asked him to recall what he could
from the meet.
Mr. Hartshorn says of the season over-all, “We
had a really good season. A lot of good kids came
out. We had a slow start with all the rain early in
the season. Once we got rid of the rain, we could
get to work. It seemed like a quick season. Maybe
we’ll start earlier next year!” He hopes everyone
will stay active over the summer and come back
ready for next season.
Todd Lindstrom wins the Triple
Jump, jumping 35’5.5”.
The team finished with season about 66 kids.
The coaching staff included Rick Hartshorn. Craig
Mefford. Kathy Brown. Fred Byers assisted with
jumps and was very much appreciated for all his
time and effort with the kids.

Tales of Old New Plymouth
Weather Forecast
By Dave Goldsmith
It was a great event when the circus came to town.
That happened way back in 1935. Today a circus is
quite a novelty and it was almost as much of a novelty in New Plymouth in 1935 as any circus is today. It wasn’t a very big circus, and it included
carnival rides as well as the circus proper, but it
was a circus and it appeared in New Plymouth.
Back in those days, we read about kids running
away from home to join the circus, and about how
others worked watering the elephants for tickets to
the big show. My buddy, Bill Knight, and I talked
this all over and decided that we would try to get
jobs for the day when the circus came to town.
Wed
found a lot of humor in the things going on around
us, as we found humor in almost everything in
those days. Late in the day, we helped set up the
Ferris Wheel. The man in charge of that was covered with grease, and we got a big laugh out of his
“sun tan.” Finally, he had enough. He turned to Bill
(who wore glasses) and said, “If you don’t shut up,
I’m going to take your goo-goos off and slap your
___.” That did quiet us down, but we have had a lot
of laughs about it in later years.

VON CONTINUES
To continue with the story of my friendship with
McKinley and Ann Louise Pack:
A couple of years later, they called me to accompany
them to Cleveland, Ohio, to help bring home a sister for
their little Andrew. Kinley wanted me along to keep Ann
from grabbing the first baby she saw. He had teased her
mercilessly about clutching that funny-looking little boy
to her bosom and the fact he was probably the first one
she had spied.
We went early one morning and were all very nervous
as we entered the foundling home. Kinley was cautioning Ann, “Look at them all. Then make a choice.” Like
buying cantaloupes, I thought. We all agreed to look the
whole crop over and take our time as they made this
momentous decision. I was designated to guard Ann and
to keep her hands OFF till a decision was made. The
first baby we saw was adorable. A girl, with sparkling
eyes and a ready smile. Just about 3 months old. Fat and
healthy looking - nothing like the scrawny runt she'd
chosen the first time. Ann gave me an agonized look of
longing when she saw the little cherub. Dutiful wife that
she was, however, we continued down the line of cribs,
admiring and pointing.
In just a minute it dawned on us Kinley wasn't walking with us. We turned and there he was, kitchi-cooin'
and tickling the tummy of the darling baby in the very
first crib. That softy! I teased him with, “Come on,
Kinley -look them all over!” He wouldn't budge. Just
stood there beaming at the tiny face that beamed right
back at him. We took her home.
I used to get cross when I would see McKinley embarrassed because he was black. I guess I was attuned to
civil rights long before the nation as a whole wised up
This was in the late 1940's and I loved those two people
very much, and it hurt me when they were hurt. Not that
they complained about it. I remember how hard they
both worked to save money for a down payment on a
home of their own, and was appalled when they started
looking for a place and there were so many houses they
simply couldn't consider because it was a white
neighborhood, etc. At one point, the homeowner took
one look at me, barely glanced at my companions, and
announced in a supercilious voice, “Sorry, Mrs., my
neighbors wouldn't put up with colored help.” As
though I was the one looking to buy a house and had
brought my servants along with me. BOO! HISS! That
day I wasn't upset - I was furious!
Once, Kinley came into the restaurant and beer joint
where I was having dinner. The old Italian Mama served
me every evening whatever she'd fixed for her family.
He couldn't sit down with me, of course, he could only
buy beer to take out. We spoke and he said, “Come on
over after while, Von Gail, we're having some friends
from school and I'm sure you want to say Hi to Orrin
Smith, who just came out of service.” I thanked him and
said I would. Orrin was the Negro boy in my Senior
class, who I remembered had read his Bible during all of
7th period.
After Kinley left, the owner came over to my booth
and berated me for even talking to a “nigger” in public,
let alone saying I'd come over to their house. I wasn't
shy with my reply to his intrusion. “I seem to recall a
week I was bedfast with shingles not long ago. I didn't
notice you or anyone from here coming up to see if I
was starving or dying. Ann, however, came every day,
laid her tiny baby on my bed, helped me bathe, fixed me
something to eat. She's cleaner than you are, so don't say
another word about me letting a “nigger” baby lay on
one of your beds while his Mama helped me.”
Between him and Dominic Frank, who wouldn't give
up after I'd backed out of marrying him - it was time to
move again. This time to Monroe St. - back downtown.
I was already smart enough to know genuine commitment could have a place in life. I'd seen it in other couples. Those commitments, however, must be kept in
proper order. Husband can't be the most important today
and child the most important tomorrow, and my job the
most important the next day. I'd have to decide which
was strong, stronger, strongest. I'd have to decide which
is which and stick to it. Otherwise, I'd become emotionally drained trying to juggle a half dozen commitments
at once. If I was going to be bereft of childish emotional
dependency on my parents, did I have to transfer this
dependency to another human being? Bestowing it on
another man promised to be unbearable, even from the
point of just looking at the problem. The dependency
would have to be on myself. The other shoe had
dropped. The answer was like a dull thud. There was no
one but me to handle whatever lay ahead. I knew I wasn't ready for a “take care of me” contract. That would
have to wait until I found out who I really was.

This library’s not a SHHH! kind of place
“This is not a quiet kind of library,”Librarian
Talya Nay admits as she welcomes you to the
Armoral Tuttle Public Library in New Plymouth.
But for a small library in a small town, the library packs a pretty powerful punch.
There are books, of course, and videos and
DVDs. Computers with access to the internet are
available, with printing offered at a per-page
charge. And if what you need isn’t on the shelf,
the inter-library loan service can bring materials
from anywhere in the world right to town. There
is no fee for the loan service, unless the lending
library imposes a charge, and the New Plymouth
library absorbs the shipping cost.
And there’s a website, too, at
lili.org\newplymouth, where you can find library

will be added soon.
The library has a proud history. It first opened
in 1916, and the first paid librarian joined the
staff in 1920. Armoral Tuttle took over that role
in 1921 and held the post for 60 years. In recognition of her work in developing the library, the
“Armoral Tuttle Public Library” was dedicated
to her in 1982. For the last three years, Talya
Nay has served as librarian, helped out occasionally by fill-in staff.
The library is open from 10 am to 6 pm, Tuesday through Friday. All borrowers must be registered, but library services are free to New Plymouth residents. Anyone outside the city limits

the number of books you can take out, but videos are
limited to 5 per family. The book collection remains
the same from month to month, but audio- and videotapes are exchanged every other month.
Books are checked out for 21 days, videos and
DVDs for 7. A convenient drop-box out front makes it
easy to get things back in time, or you can renew them
easily by phone at 278-5338. And if none of that
works for you, fines for overdue materials are just 10cents per item per day after 7 days. In a generous gesture, the library also accepts canned goods instead of
cash – and then donates the cans to the local food
bank.
Funded by the city and state and occasional donations, the Armoral Tuttle Public Library is a great asset to our community and the area around it. “But if

the brachial plexus is much more rare
than problems which arise either at the
spine, also called radiculopathy, or after
the plexus, which is then named according to which nerve has had damage. Compression of a nerve for a long period of
time can cause what we call
“demylination.” Demylination can result
in permanent damage. Demylination
means that the sheath that surrounds the
nerve and helps the nerve conduct impulse at lightning speed deteriorates, dies.
This impairs the impulse considerably, if
not halts it.

even sometimes “lateral epicondylitis.”
Though I don’t play tennis, I do get this
problem from lifting weights. Mild symptoms such as mine include tingling at the
4th and 5th finger. Severe problems can
cause a decreased grip. Treatment for this
includes using a brace on the forearm,
which works very well for me, and some
end up having to get surgery to relieve the
problem.
Treatment for Saturday Night Palsy is
usually conservative. Wrist brace, treatment of pain, and a little physical therapy
usually do the trick. Serious problems
may need surgical intervention to relieve
the compression. Like always, the best
treatment is prevention. Excessive drinking or doing drugs is not healthy, especially if one does it to the point of passing
out cold. If you are doing either of these,
you should seek help before it ruins your
life.
OBITUARIES
Delores M. Jackson
Delores Marlene Jackson, 67, of
New Plymouth, passed away Saturday, April 22, 2006, at her home in
New Plymouth. A private family
service will be held at a later date.
Arrangements are under the directions of Shaffer-Jensen Memory
Chapel, Payette.
Lottie Barrett Stokes
Lottie was
born November 13, 1907,
in Slaterville,
Utah, to Arthur Barrett
and Edith Ann
Manning Barrett. She grew
up in Ogden
and Slaterville, learning
tatting, embroidery, crocheting and
sewing from her mother, who was
an excellent seamstress. While a
freshman at Ogden High School,
she suffered a nervous paralysis that
forced her to drop out of school, but
she continued learning on her own
by reading good books with her
father, and studying her brothers’
and sisters' textbooks. She suffered
seizures throughout her life and
wasn't expected to live very long.
She married Ellis Alfred Stokes on
December 1, 1926, in the Salt Lake
Temple. After marriage, Lottie and
Ellis lived in a sheep camp in Eden,
Utah, and a farm in Slaterville,
Utah, where three children, Gordon,
Julia, and Ned were born. In 1938
they bought a farm in Rigby, Idaho,
with no electricity and a dilapidated
log cabin that required much work
and patience to create a home. Four
more children, Paul, Marilyn, Dan
and David were born there.
In 1948, they bought a farm in
Blackfoot, Idaho, and in 1951 they
moved to a farm in Fruitland, Idaho,
where most of the children grew up
and graduated from high school.
They sold the farm in 1970 and
moved to a house in the town of
New Plymouth, Idaho, where they
became very active with the senior
citizens of both Payette and New
Plymouth. Lottie loved to travel and
went with her husband to Puerto
Rico and El Paso, Texas, to visit
Marilyn, went on a church history
tour, and enjoyed visiting her children wherever they lived.
After 58 years of marriage, her
beloved husband, Ellis, died on August 1, 1984, and Lottie moved to
Centennial Manor on Curtis Street
in Boise. She loved tatting, crocheting and quilting. She crocheted afghan lap robes for each of her
grandchildren, quilts for each of her
children, and designed a special
quilt for Centennial Manor in 1990
in celebration of Idaho's centennial
year as a state.
Lottie has been an active member
of The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints all of her life,
serving as a Sunday School teacher
until her mid-eighties. She also
served in the primary, young
women, and Relief Society. She
was an ordinance worker for two
days a week at the Boise Temple for
nearly twenty years. She was also in
charge of keeping the altar cloths
clean and repaired.
In July of 2001, at the age of 93,
she moved in with her daughter,
Julia Gurney, in Boise. She contin-
ued to
travel, read,
and do
handwork
until her
eyes mostly
failed at
age 96.
She died
April
29,2006, at
the age of
98, after a short time in St. Luke's
hospital and less than a month at
Good Samaritan Village in Boise.
She was preceded in death by her
parents; her brother and two sisters;
her husband, Ellis; one son, Paul;
one daughter, Marilyn; a daughterin-law, Charlene; and one grandson,
Tracy.
She is survived by five children,
Gordon and ReNae Stokes of Provo,
Utah; Julia Gurney of Boise, Idaho;
Ned and Gloria Stokes of Homedale, Idaho, Dan and Ruth Ann
Stokes of Nampa, Idaho; David and
Ann Stokes of South Jordan, Utah;
a daughter-in-law, Joyce Stokes
Tilton of Cornelius, Oregon; and a
son-in-law, Van Macdonald of
Brigham City, Utah.
At the time of her death, Lottie had
190 direct descendants: 7 children,
47 grandchildren, 124 greatgrandchildren, and 13 great-greatgrandchildren.
Funeral services were held at
11:00 a.m., Monday, May 8, 2006,
at the Duncan Lane LDS Chapel.
Interment followed at Rosedale
Cemetery in Payette, Idaho. Services were under direction of the
Relyea Funeral Chapel.

the fishing spot and get to know a fishing buddy. Enjoy
an afternoon of fresh air, fishing, and great company.
The dates are: June 13, July 11, August 8, and September 12. Most of the Veterans are in wheelchairs and
require a great deal of assistance, from getting them off
the bus, placing them in the best fishing spot, baiting
their hooks. This fishing trip is designed to help the Veterans and fishing is for them only.
We will meet at the Nampa Fish Hatchery, 3806 S.

Local Legislators in the News
Compromise Speeds Banking
Reform
Months of negotiation and effort paid
off for Idaho Senator Mike Crapo as the
Senate Banking Committee unanimously
approved legislation he authored regarding regulatory relief for the financial services industry. Crapo, who is a member
of the Banking Committee, has spent
months working on regulatory reform, an
issue that has plagued the financial services industry for many years. The Financial Service Regulatory Relief Act of
2006 will now be referred to the full Senate for further action. The U.S. House of
Representatives passed regulatory reform
legislation last year.
Crapo said, “After many months of
negotiations and discussion with regulators, industry, consumer groups, and other
interested parties, we now have a bill before us that will provide important regulatory relief for financial institutions. This
legislation is a compromise for all sides
and doesn’t let the ‘perfect’ stand in the
way of what is possible. There are issues
on both sides of the aisle that Members
have foregone in an effort to support our
desire to get a bill signed into law this
year. It is my hope that we will be able to
Where to write
local legislators:
continue in this bi-partisan manner on the
floor and avoid amendments that will
delay passage.”
Idaho’s financial services industry applauded Crapo’s work on this issue. Over
the last two years, Crapo has painstakingly gathered information from regulators, industry groups and consumer
groups regarding current regulations affecting the financial services industry.
Many were concerned with outdated
regulations and the inability to recognize
technology advances.
Gavin Gee, Director of the Idaho Department of Finance, who testified in support of regulatory relief legislation at a
March hearing before the Senate Banking
Committee, chaired by Senator Crapo,
stated: “Senator Crapo’s outstanding
leadership on financial services regulatory relief in the U.S. Senate has produced much needed legislation, which we
fully support, that will benefit Idaho and
all financial institutions and their customers. We thank Senator Crapo for his significant work and primary leadership role
in this effort and urge Congress to act
quickly on this very important legislation.”
Idaho Bankers Association President/
CEO Dawn Justice said, “The Idaho
Bankers Association owes Senator Crapo
a great debt of gratitude for his tireless
work on the Regulatory Relief bill. It was
a contentious issue with many competing
interests and the Senator, in his usual
way, was successful in negotiating some
of the toughest compromises. The bill is a
great step in the right direction for the
banking industry, as it attempts to eliminate out-dated, needless regulation. The
burden of new regulation is immense, so
it was extremely important that an effort
be made to remove some of the regulation
that no longer served a purpose.”
Idaho Senator Mike Crapo together
with Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont)
has authored a bipartisan letter calling on
the Senate appropriators to save the
Crime Victims Fund from rescission in
the FY2007 Commerce, Justice and Science appropriations bill. “Money deposited into the Crime Victims Fund comes
from fines and forfeitures in federal
courts and is allocated out to crime victims’ services—a total of $3 million in
Idaho alone in 2005,” said Crapo. “This
money is not taxpayer dollars and should
According to Council Executive Director Diane Blumel, forty-eight programsserving over 5,000 victims during 2005
depended on the Crime Victims Fund.
“The programs provided counseling, shelter, support and advocacy for all victims
of crime including domestic violence,
child abuse and sexual assault,” said Blumel.“Outside of the Fund, there are no
other funding sources that provide for the
scope of services offered at local or state
levels.”

Tips for Safe Turkey Hunting
By Dan Papp, Wildlife Educator
Idaho Department of Fish and Game
– Southwest Region
In the United States, nearly three million hunters enjoy the outdoors, pursuing
wild turkey during both spring and fall
hunting seasons. Given this fact, it remains remarkable that, in general, hunting
accidents have continued to decline dramatically nationwide since the early
1980s.
Statistically, the National Safety Council claims that a person is more likely to
be struck and killed by lightning than by
another hunter’s bullet. However, hunting
incidents still occur. And because wearing camouflage is the name of the game
when turkey hunting, turkey hunters – as
a group – are at the greatest risk of being
involved in a hunting accident.
Most turkey hunting accidents are visually-related; hunters are mistaken for
game, they move into the line of fire, they
were beyond the intended target, they
were out of sight of the shooter, or the
shooter was swinging on game and shot
the hunter. In each case, individual turkey
hunters did not adequately identify their
target properly or check to make sure
nothing was in front of or behind their
target before they shot.
Of the 37 turkey hunting accidents recorded in the United States in 2004, 34
were vision-related. Although Idaho has
had many fewer turkey hunting accidents
than the rest of the nation, vision-related
turkey hunting accidents are still the number one cause of hunting-related accidental shootings in the state. Since 1993,
Idaho has had seven turkey hunting accidents, and all but one were vision-related.
Five were categorized as mistaken for a
turkey, and one involved a turkey hunter
who had moved into the line of fire.
Turkey hunting accident victims are not
necessarily without fault in these incidents. It is not uncommon for accident
victims to be wearing red or blue handkerchiefs or shirts, blue, black or brown
denim jeans, or white socks or t-shirts.
They may not be wearing face paint or
masks, and their hands may be exposed.
From another turkey hunter’s perspective,
any of these visual cues can be mistakenly interpreted as a turkey approaching
their hunting location.
Faced with these potential field situations, turkey hunters should always wait
to see the entire bird before pulling the
trigger. In addition, hunters should be
certain that nothing is in the line of fire,
or in front of or beyond their intended
target.
On the flip side of these situations, partial camouflage does not get the job done.
Turkey hunters should cover up from top
to bottom, including face and hands. By
not displaying colors that might be mistaken for a turkey by other hunters, you
greatly reduce your chances of being shot
while in the field.
If your spring plans include wild turkey
hunting, good for you. There’s nothing
quite so thrilling as the earth-shaking
gobble of a big tom turkey approaching
your position. Just be smart when you do
so, and consider this defensive and offensive measures checklist before, during
and after your wild turkey hunt.
If your spring plans include wild turkey hunting, take some time to review and follow a
safety checklist. Photo credit: Phil Cooper, IDFG

Recommended Offensive Measures
•Wait to see the entire bird. Color, shape,
sound, and movement are not enough to
identify a turkey. Assume that anything
that moves is another hunter until you can
positively identify it otherwise.
•Make sure you have a clear field of
view. Choose a location that enables
viewing of the entire area where you expect to shoot.
•Locate a hunting spot that allows for a
good backstop to avoid injury to someone
beyond your intended target.
•Don’t let excitement, nerves, or competitiveness cloud your judgment. Take a
deep breath and think before you shoot.
•Make sure you have properly identified
your target before you push the safety
into the fire position.
•Keep your firearm pointed in a safe direction at all times.
•When hunting with a partner, communicate effectively and stick to your hunting
plan.

Greetings from the Sheriff’s Office:
I hope everyone had a wonderful week and enjoyed the warm sunny days we have
experienced lately. May is one of my favorite months, with many of my weekends
planned with festivities. Be sure and take some time to find out what is going on
throughout the county. Spring fairs, parades, graduations, festivals, etc. provide great
activities for the entire family.
As I promised, I am going to write about dogs, but first off, I would like to share a
short story concerning dogs in New Plymouth. I know there’s a problem when my
very conservative (yah-right) grandmother Janie Fitzsimons, who lives in New Plymouth, recently asked me, “Chad, when are you going to do something about those
#@^* dogs barking all night and pooping in my yard?” If anyone knows my grandmother, when she has a complaint, she means business! I informed her I would get on
it as soon as possible. So without further ado, let’s talk about dogs.
New Plymouth city ordinance pertaining to dogs and animals is located in section
6, chapter 2, sub-sections 1 through 34. With this being said, there is more information contained in this chapter than I can write about in one column, so I will summarize as much as I can and try to get through the first half of this section this week.
Sub-section one is solely defining terms that are specifically used in the context of
the ordinances. The next section talks about dog licenses and the requirements for
obtaining a license. Any person who owns, harbors, keeps or possesses a dog within
the city limits must purchase a license. It shall not apply to visitors not exceeding 30
days and if such dog is licensed by another municipality. First offense fine will be
$20, second offense fine within 12 months is $50 and third offense fine within 12
months is $150.
Each dog is required to wear a collar displaying the current license tag. All dogs
over three months old shall be licensed. If the dog(s) is spayed or neutered, the fee is
$5 annually. If the dog(s) are not, the fee is $10 annually. Senior Citizens (60 years of
age or older) will pay an annual fee of $3 for dog(s) spayed or neutered, with no exemptions for non-spayed/neutered. Fees will be waived for any guide dog that has
been properly trained for the purpose of and is used to guide a blind or partially blind
person, a person with impaired hearing or any other severely disabled person who
requires a guide dog. The license is good for the calendar year January 1 through December 31. The owner must provide proof of general liability insurance for not less
than $10,000 and provide proof of a rabies vaccination for dogs older than 6 months.
Owners can obtain a duplicate tag for the price of $1 if the original is lost. All li-
censes will be purchased at the New Plymouth City Hall during normal business
hours.
If you allow your dog to run at large, you are in violation of this ordinance. This
means, if your dog is not on your property and is allowed to roam the streets, alleys,
and public or other private properties, you are in violation. Of course, with any rule
there are exceptions. First exception is if the dog is on a leash not exceeding ten (10)
feet and controlled by a person. Second exception is if the dog is confined in a motor
vehicle. An officer can issue a citation to the animal’s owner without first impounding the animal. First offense fine: $10, second offense fine within 12 months: $25,
third offense fine within 12 months is: $75. It shall be no defense that a person has
exchanged dogs since the date of the last offense.
Commercial kennels are absolutely prohibited. It shall be unlawful to keep, maintain or possess upon the premises of any one household more than four (4) dogs. If a
dog has puppies, you can maintain more than 4 dogs for a period of 3 months.
If a dog bites any person in such a manner as to cause an abrasion of the skin, the
dog will be quarantined at the city pound for a period of ten (10) days. If such dog is
determined to be free of rabies, the dog will be returned to the owner upon payment
of $1.50 for each day the dog was impounded.
No person owning any dog shall suffer or permit any such dog to disturb the peace
and quiet of a neighborhood by howling, barking, making loud or unusual noises or
by running through or across cultivated gardens or fields. It shall also be unlawful for
a person owning or keeping a dog to allow it to deposit solid waste matter on any
property other than that of the person owning or keeping the animal. If the owner
promptly removes the solid waste matter and properly disposes of it, it shall be a
valid defense.
On that note, I will wrap this week’s column up and finish the second portion next
week. Please remember, if you have any questions or comments about the New Plymouth Ordinances or the enforcement of these ordinances, feel free to contact my
office or the city clerk. We will assist you as we can.
Until next week, have a great week, stay safe and I will see you at the local events.
Best regards,
Chad Huff, Payette County Sheriff

District playoffs began on
Saturday with the Grims going into play as #2 seed on the
home field against Melba.
They met Melba earlier,
May 2 with a 16-8 victory on
the Mustang field.
Kyle Harmon pitched 5 2/3
innings, after a month and a
half recovery from a sprained
ankle. He struck out five to
get the win. Wes Hooten and
Jeff Gruidl both knocked over
home runs. Gruidl’s was a
grand slam.
Wes Hooten went 2-4,
Jesse Jordan 3-6, Gruidl and
Shipley both were 3-4.
Thursday before districts,
the Grims met Nampa Christian in a game that had no
bearing on either team’s position in the district.
Although NP lost to NC big
time, 16-5 on their own field,
their standing remained
Nampa Christian in first place
and the Grims second.
Wes Hooten was the starting pitcher with two strikeouts
in the first inning. He gave up
a few runs in the second and
third. Chase Maness came in
as relief pitcher in the third,
also allowing several runs in
for the unbalanced score.
In the batters box, Wes
started the game with a line
drive to center in the first, and
a home run in the second.
After the second inning, the
Grims couldn’t get the bats
going.

Senior slide presentation steals show at banquet
By Abi Archey
.Nancy Adams composed a
slide show for the seniors that
was shown at the Senior Banquet. She has been working on
the slide show and gathering
pictures since August.
Nancy scanned the last two
pictures and completed the
slide show the day that it was
played at the banquet. DVDs
of the slide show are being
sold in the office for $5
apiece. The profit will go to
the seniors all night party.
“I had a lot of fun putting it
together and I got to know all
the seniors better than I al-
ready did. The hardest part
was gathering the pictures.”
Nancy says.
Seniors were aware of most
of the pictures in the show;
however, some came as a surprise. Josh Shaver was surprised to see a picture of himself in a Barbie T-shirt.
The barbequed chicken was
prepared by junior class advisor Spike Gaskins. Junior
parents helped at the banquet.
Lisa Gray, Faye Dykema, and
Mitsy Johnson helped cook.
Chris Kramer, Cora Kurth and
several others helped with the
set up, the clean up and helped
organize the serving.

Community passes an override levy to fund computer updates
By Alex Snyder
The override levy from March was passed by 80% of voters. The levy will allow the school to get a new computer lab for each school
building, a new school bus, library books for the elementary and middle schools, educational technology for the high school, and technology support for district wide for networks and servers. According to Superintendent Ryan Kerby, it will also cover “all the little
things that can go wrong.”
“We run these overrides every couple of years,” Kerby stated. Since this override passed, the school district will have an additional
$165,000 each year for two years.
The computer labs in the high school and middle school will be set up this summer. It is still undecided when the elementary computer
lab will be up and running. The new school bus will be purchased this fall for around $70,000.
The educational technology will be purchased a little at a time over the next three years. It will include LCD projectors for classrooms,
software for teachers, and CPS systems, which are excellent for class reviews, quizzes, and tests in preparation for ISAT’s.

IDAHO FISH & GAME NEWS
Chinook Headed For Idaho Are Running
Late
Troy Area Man Sentenced For Poaching
Three Elk
They’re either really late, or numbers are really low –
or both.
This year’s spring Chinook salmon appear to be entering the Columbia River late, and in numbers lower than
forecast as well.
The upriver spring Chinook run includes Snake River
spring and summer Chinook, counted at Bonneville
Dam through June 15. The Snake River spring and summer Chinook will be counted at Lower Granite Dam
through August 17.
As of Sunday, April 30, only two Chinook salmon had
reached the Lower Granite Dam, the last dam on the
Snake River near Lewiston. The Idaho Fish and Game
Commission had planned a telephone conference to
make a decision Friday, April 28, on a spring Chinook
salmon season in Idaho.
Fishery managers need actual dam counts to set spring
Chinook seasons and limits. They had expected to have
that information by mid–April. But because the run has
been very slow to get started, they did not have enough
information to recommend a salmon season to the commissioners.
Fish and Game fishery staff updated commissioner
about the run status, and they expect to update commissioners again at their quarterly meeting in mid–May.
By comparison, through April 30 of last year, when
the run was late, 327 Chinook had crossed Lower Granite, but enough fish had crossed Bonneville Dam to give
fishery managers a sense of the run size. The 10-year
average at Lower Granite Dam by this date is 14,775
fish. In 2001 more than 90,000 salmon had passed
Lower Granite by this time, according DART, the University of Washington salmon tracking website.
In two of the worst years recently, through April 30,
1995, only 21 Chinook had crossed Lower Granite into
the Snake Basin, and in 1999, only 31 had made it over
Lower Granite Dam, though run timing was not late at
Bonneville Dam.
Managers say earlier predictions for salmon numbers
this year probably will not be reached. In past years
when the numbers have been this low, Idaho has not
opened a salmon season. The last time that happened
was in 1999, and this year may be shaping up to be
worse.
But with all the runoff this spring helping Idaho
salmon smolts on their way to the ocean, salmon anglers
can hope for improved adult salmon numbers by 2008.
The quick actions of a concerned citizen who discovered two elk left to waste and the remains from another
resulted in a $6,851 fine, loss of hunting privileges for
five years, probation for four years and 21 days in jail
for Mike J. Edwards, 29, of Troy.
On April 20, Latah County Judge John Stegner sentenced Edwards for killing three elk during closed season. Micah W. Cox, 22, of Pullman, Wash., was charged
with transfer of tag to another and fined $380.
The case began November 3, 2005, when Idaho Fish
and Game Conservation Officers Barry Cummings and
Pat Hylton responded to an anonymous tip about two elk
shot and another gut pile found together on private land
near Troy. Evidence at the scene indicated that each elk
had been killed the day before and dragged from a cultivated field with an ATV. Two elk – an adult cow and
spike bull – were left to waste. Drag marks from the gut
pile of a third elk led the officers to a grassy area behind
a house occupied by Edwards.
When the officers contacted Edwards, he initially denied killing an elk or even going elk hunting that season.
He mentioned in detail that he observed another vehicle
with a loaded ATV in the same area the day before. After further questioning and a search of his garage revealed no evidence, both officers decided to investigate
other possible leads.
But the next day, Cummings drove to a Moscow area
butcher shop and discovered that someone recently had
checked in an elk with a Washington tag issued to Micah Cox. The next day, Cummings interviewed Edwards, who confessed to killing all three elk and wasting
two of them. He admitted that the elk at the butcher
shop was one of the three he killed, and that he had
asked Cox to bring his Washington elk tag because the
Idaho general elk season in the area had closed. At the
same time, District Conservation Officer Mark Hill interviewed Cox, who confirmed the information.
The case is a good example of how hunters and anglers can get involved to help deter wildlife crimes,
Cummings said.
“Without the call from the concerned citizen, it is
likely that this violation would have gone undetected,”
he said. “This was a serious wildlife violation, and I
think the penalties reflect that.”
Anyone with information about wildlife violations are
urged to contact any local law enforcement authority or
call the Citizens Against Poaching hotline at 1-800-6325999. Callers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a cash reward.

Mountain Quail Find a New Home near
Glenns Ferry
Mountain quail are getting a second chance with the
help of a graduate student from Idaho State University
and the Idaho Department of Fish and Game.
In mid–April, 52 of the native game birds were released on private land in King Hill Creek north of
Glenns Ferry. Thirty of them were fitted with radio collars that will allow graduate student Ron Troy to monitor their movements over the summer.
“It is an exciting project,” said Randy Smith, Fish and
Game Regional Wildlife Manager for the Magic Valley
Region. “What we are hoping for is this study will give
us an idea on what happened to them and what we can
do to ensure their future.”
Mountain quail, the only native quail in Idaho, could
once be found in many parts of the state. In 1984, populations began to decline and the department closed the
hunting season. Because of their low population in the
state, the mountain quail released in the King Hill drainage were captured in California and Oregon where
populations are more stable.
Forest Service Can Be Sued Over Sage
Grouse Decline
A federal court has refused to dismiss a lawsuit claiming that the U.S. Forest Service is failing to reverse the
decline of the sage grouse on the Curlew National
Grassland.
The U.S. District Court for Idaho has twice declined
to reconsider its ruling that the National Forest Management Act may have been violated. The court found the
Forest Service’s Long Range Management Plan for the
Curlew National Grassland was formed under 1982
regulations, and thus is subject to those regulations and
not new regulations that took effect in 2005.
The Forest Service must comply with 1982 regulations regarding the sage grouse as a management indicator species. Management indicator species “obligations”
cannot be diluted by the new regulations “without also
amending the Long Range Management Plan that relied
on the greater obligations,” the court said.
The lawsuit charges that the management of the grassland favors domestic livestock grazing at the expense of
sage grouse habitat.
Ask Fish and Game
Q. Can I submit my controlled hunt application by mail
along with my nonresident license application at the
same time?
A. Yes, but you must include a check or money order
for the total amount of license and controlled hunt application. For moose, goat or sheep hunts, you must also
include permit and tag fees. Simply leave the license
number blank on the worksheet. Send it to: Idaho Department of Fish and Game, License Section, P.O. Box
25, Boise, ID 83707. The application period for deer, elk
and antelope hunts is May 1 through June 5.

up for the season and additional coaches for the team. In addition to Dallas Hoffman as the head coach of the team, Shaun Bolin has taken over as the offensive
coordinator and Rob Castleman has taken over as the defensive coordinator. For

Contribution Essence of Life exhibit reflects
beauty of living
By Lindsey Parker
Culture Writer
A new art exhibit embracing the “Contribution
Essence of Life” is being displayed in the
Boise State University Student Union Gallery
until May 10. This exhibit showcases different
Idaho artists and is a celebration of life. All
proceeds from the sale of the artwork benefits
suicide prevention and awareness in Idaho.
The creator of this exhibit, Anne Merkley, is a
mother of two and a Pocatello native artist/
writer. Merkley speaks on her own experiPhotos by Alice scully/the arbiter
ences with depression.
“I’ve been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, anxiety disorder, and depression. These highly chemical conditions can not be treated with
drugs. I have intolerance to almost all medication. The hardest thing about
coping is learning to live with myself,” Merkley said.
This diverse art exhibit celebrates life, hope and triumph through beautiful
works of acrylic, oil, collage, pastel, ink, photography, illustration, watercolor,
ceramics, and pottery. An informative poster on the wall next to an acrylic
painting gives statistics about suicide and the mission statement of the artists
collaborating in this exhibit.
Suicide is the second leading cause of death in the 15-24 and 25-34 age
groups in the United States. Idaho is consistently among the states with the
highest suicide rates. In a 2002 report, the last year for which suicide data is
available, Idaho is listed as the ninth highest-rated suicide state in the U.S.
Twenty percent of high school students surveyed in 2003 reported seriously
considering suicide, nine percent of students admitted to attempting suicide
one or more times. This exhibit is meant to “help you dream, give you hope,
and inspire you to live life to the fullest.”
Personal contributions such as these works of art make an impact no matter how small the effort seems.
The photographs, paintings, and sculptures act as portals into beautiful aspage 19

pects of life.
Artists such as Mike Shipman, Jeff Stahman, and
Michael Forrester speak about their work.
Mike Shipman, creator of “Friends-Unwritten,” a
photograph highlighting the love and closeness of
children after a soccer game, says of his involvement in the exhibition, “We are the authors of our
own unwritten history. Everyday is the star of a new
page or chapter. Being supportive of friends,
neighbors, or those in need enhances our journey.”
Jeff Stahman’s “Rising Above” is beautiful. This
black and white photograph is breathtaking. The
feeling derived from seeing it is similar to viewing

can make a difference in the lives and help the
beneficiaries of this event “rise above” their troubles and have a happy successful life.”
Another highly impacting photograph is Michael Forrester’s “Hope on the
Horizon.”
This photograph brilliantly captures the sunset and a person’s peacefulness
upon seeing the sunset. This gentle, serene image both captivates and inspires. Forrester says of his work, “Look toward the horizon. The light is there.
Look around and you’ll find the outstretched hand of a friend. I dare you to
move, to go to places in your life you never thought possible. You can do it.
Look for hope on the horizon.”
Included in the exhibition are varied works of beautiful ceramics, pottery
and sculptures.
Many of the ceramics were crafted by talented high school students who
didn’t hesitate to contribute to this cause of suicide prevention. The outlying
message/theme of the “contribution essence of life” exhibit is everywhere.
The Suicide Prevention Lifeline may be reached 24 hours a day 7 days a

Plymouth Congregational Church Camp is
around the corner. This experience is rewarding, fulfilling and is a unique opportunity to
make a difference in the lives of our youth.
We are committed to providing half the tuition
for ALL campers. Full or any part between
half and full is gladly provided if additional
help is needed to be able to send your child to
camp. Those needing assistance should contact Susan Howe. Camp registration forms are
available at church, or campers can print the
application forms off the website,
www.pilgrimcovecamp.org. Campers are encouraged to bring a friend to help make the
summer camp experience more fun. Early
registration must be in by May 15 to save $10
on the camp fees. You can earn a Volunteer
Service Credit of $80 to put towards the camp
registration for yourself, a member of your
family, another camper of your choice, or a
needy child. This can be earned if you serve as
a cabin counselor, camp grandparent or chaplain. Sign up to be a counselor and enjoy the
church camp experience with your child.
Camp Dates: May 26-29, Work Weekend. We
will have numerous jobs that need to be completed. There are things for nearly everyone,
young and old, to assist with, from the typical
cleaning of camp to putting a foundation under the Governor's Mansion. This will hopefully be a great opportunity to meet, what we

Hello, My name is Julie Krygsman - Owner/
Founder of Kiddo Candles. I personally would like
to thank everyone in New Plymouth and surrounding areas for supporting the Carrie French & John
Ogburn Scholarship Candles. To date Carrie's candle has raised $700.00, enough for one scholarship
and almost another one. John's candle has $600.00,
so one scholarship is raised and another one in the
making. All together I have made 217 candles in
their honor and because of people like you, it remains strong. I plan on continuing these candles as
long as the community continues its support. Besides it's a nice candle for $10.00 with $6.00 of it
going to the scholarship. I don't make any profit.
The remaining $4.00 for each candle goes back to
purchase more candle making products. Again,
thank you for your support and most of all to Toni
and the entire staff at E-Z Mart. You guys rock and
thanks for putting up with me.

HEROES AMONG US
Guest opinion submitted by Idaho Senator Mike Crapo
On a chilly November day in Shelley in 1914, newly-hired Village Marshal Lafayette
Hampton left his wife and two daughters to work his 17th day of duty. Little did his family
know that their husband and father would not return home. Called to stop a robbery at a local shop, the 28-year-old marshal pursued the thief to the outskirts of town and was gunned
down. Now, almost a century later, Hampton will be rightfully accorded a place of honor
along with his fellow fallen officers at the National Police Officer's Memorial on May 15.
Senator
Law enforcement is a dangerous, demanding and often lonely profession. When Idaho
Mike Crapo
became a territory in 1863, our county governments began to organize, and most elected
their first sheriffs. The job, just like it is today, was never a safe one, and, in spite of popular
belief, it wasn't all that glamorous either –
though for a short time in 1882, during the gold rush in North Idaho, Kootenai County did attract a deputy sheriff named Wyatt Earp. But he didn't stay long.
Fortunately, law enforcement has changed a lot since our days as a territory. However, there is one characteristic
of a law enforcement officer's job that hasn't changed. Whether it's the Idaho State Police keeping watch over a
lonely tract of highway, a Sheriff's deputy responding to a domestic violence call, or a police detective working the
ins and outs of a complicated case, they are on duty constantly, vigilantly keeping us safe--something we often take
for granted. Whether it's the middle of the night or Christmas Eve, we know there's a police officer or sheriff's deputy on duty and ready to respond.
In 1991, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial was opened in Washington, D.C. The memorial, authorized by Congress, commemorates the sacrifices and deeds of the men and women who serve in law enforcement. Engraved in the grey marble of the memorial are the names of over 14,000 officers who have given their lives
in the line of duty. That's a staggering number, and sadly, one that grows each year. Nationally, three officers a
week on average are killed in the performance of their duties. Since Idaho became a territory, over 60 law enforcement officers have given their lives for their fellow Idahoans.
It's certainly true that the world has a changed a lot since the days of the frontier sheriffs. Idaho law enforcement
officers in the 21st century are highly-trained professionals and have tools and resources that their predecessors
even a few years ago could not have imagined. But in some ways the job hasn't changed that much from days gone
by. As it was 150 years ago, law enforcement is about individuals standing up to protect their fellow citizens from
danger.
The week of May 14-20 is National Police Week--an opportunity for us to recognize the contribution our law
enforcement officers make to our community and most of all to honor their sacrifices over the years. They give so
much, often without a thank-you. This is our opportunity to offer our appreciation for their commitment to upholding the law of the land.
It's been many years since Marshal Hampton's ultimate sacrifice, but every day, families across the United
States, and sometimes in Idaho, experience what the Hampton family did that dark November day in 1914, where
father, mother, husband or child doesn't come home. These men and women and their fellow officers are truly heroes among us.
