Animal Ordinance Proposal to be Discussed at
City Council Meeting
The Glenns Ferry City Council approved a waiver for the 2016 fair season to allow animals being raised for the fair to be remain on residential
zoned properties until July 18th. The discussion and decision for what to do about the situation in the future was deferred. Mayor Wills said she
would get the matter on the agenda for the June 14th city council meeting if there was room on the agenda. Councilwoman Susan Case has done
extensive research, gathering information on how other Idaho cities deal with the issue. The question is whether to leave the existing ordinance in
place unmodified, do away with the ordinance completely or modify the ordinance to make some accommodation for the fair animals. Councilwoman Case will likely offer a proposal to modify the ordinance to allow animals based on property size, similar to what is being done in other
Idaho communities. Those interested in this issue should plan to attend the June 14th city council meeting, once they have verified that the issue made it on the agenda.

The Crossing
History Part One
Or
The Story of Conrad the Mule
The Three Island State Park was dedicated in 1971
mainly due to the efforts of one man, an early day pioneer, Frank Clark. In 1986 a group of local residents
decided to re-enact the crossing of the Snake River
much as the pioneers of 150 years ago had done. (First
known crossing by the pioneers was in 1843). Wilson
Steen, a long time resident of Glenns Ferry, who was
also a State Senator, led this re-enactment effort. Even
that first year Senator Steen worked closely with Jim
Juker, Idaho Power area representative, to have the
water level lowered in the river precisely at the time of
the crossing – 11:00 AM.
Sixteen horseback riders, two “Indian maidens”,
and two pack mules planned to cross. Everything went
well until the riders entered the water from the third
island. They were immediately in swimming water with
a current so swift that the horses couldn’t swim and
some went across without riders. One short legged
mule “Conrad” owned and led by Roy Allen was partially across when he saw the trouble ahead and broke
away from Roy and swam back across to the south side
of the river where he ran along the bank heading upstream. By then everyone else had made it safely
across to the north side. Conrad, realizing at this point
that he had been left all alone was causing quite a
ruckus braying and running up and down the bank.
Finally, he just jumped in the river and cheered on by
the crowd WALKED across alone. Conrad had found
the perfect place to cross!
Participants in the ride were Juanita Steen and Rita
Folkman, the Glenns Ferry Indian Maidens; Lester
McAnulty, Wilson Steen, Ralph Gluch, Don Carnahan,
Jim Martell, and Rick Blakey from Glenns Ferry; Rex
McAnulty, Hagerman; Jim Steen, Losteen, Oregon;
Harold Tews, Hammett; Roy and Jim Allen, King Hill;
Vern Gillespie, Mountain Home; Vance Butler, Bliss
and Dan Butler, Buhl. Jet boatmen were John Shrum,
Bob Cunningham and Larry Smith. EMT’s in the boats
were Donna Thompson and Harold Southwick. One
horse drowned and three riders were injured and required medical attention in this crossing. The quick
thinking of the boatmen, and EMT’s helped prevent any
other serious incidents.
The second crossing in 1987, again with saddle horses,
following the route established by Conrad the mule,
was completed without any problems.

Signs of the Times
If it wasn’t bad enough reading about it happening
somewhere else, now we have it happening right here
at home. Last issue we reported that the Glenns Ferry
High School Honor Society and the veterans placed
crosses and flags on the graves of all the veterans buried in our city cemetery for Memorial Day. A solemn
tribute to those who have served in the armed forces
to protect and preserve our way of life. When the veterans collected the crosses and flags on Tuesday, they
discovered that thirteen sets had disappeared. How
shameful that someone not only desecrated the graves
of thirteen who had served, but that they also paid the
ultimate disrespect for the cross and the flag that
stands for the religious principles upon which this nation was founded and the freedoms so many have died
for and that we all enjoy. I pray we will all be vigilant
and honor these sacred symbols of all we hold dear. If
anyone has information about the whereabouts of
these items, please call Dale Smith, 366-2710 or 5904171.
Child Abandoned at Rest Stop
Each Memorial Day, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and
the Glenns Ferry Senior Center join forces to provide a
“Safety Break” at the Bliss Rest Stop on I-84, offering
coffee, ice tea, water and homemade cookies to I-84
travelers. Monday, May 30th, the volunteers at the
“safety break” became aware of a 6-year-old girl sitting
alone at an adjacent picnic table for a long period of
time. When they spoke with the child, they discovered
that her mother had placed her at the table, told her
to stay there, and then got back in her car and drove
away. Volunteers contacted the Gooding County Sheriff’s Office, which dispatched a deputy to the scene to
investigate. The officer could not locate the mother
and was only able to get minimal information from the
girl. No further information is available at this time.
Crossing Volunteers Needed
Many local residents remember the excitement of
the Three Island Crossing Re-enactments of the past.
It was a chance to experience the history of the Oregon
Trail, and share it with visitors to our community.
In just two short months, on August 13th, Glenns
Ferry will have the opportunity to host the Reenactment of the Crossing again. An event of this importance requires many people to make it happen. A
small core group is planning the activity, but many
volunteers are needed to help it run smoothly.
The next planning meeting for the Three Island
Crossing is June 8 at 7:00 at Crossings Winery. Everyone who is interested is welcome to attend.
Status
This is issue five of the
Glenns Ferry Times &
Seasons. We just about
threw in the towel this last
week. We tried a different
printer--one that prints a
couple of major newspapers
in Idaho, and the result
was disappointing to say
the least. So, between deadlines, poor print quality,
poor communication, few
advertisers, little help, very
short nights, and myriad
other disappointments, we
were ready to quit. However, after some reflection, we
decided to nurse this along
a little longer.
Some generous people
have made donations to the
cause, and we continue to
receive encouraging words.
We are grateful for that-extremely grateful. We also
have gotten feedback--from
distribution problems, to
not following journalistic
protocols, to not writing
enough about Glenns Ferry.
Some of these things I find
perplexing. The immensity
of the task of running a
newspaper is daunting for
sure. So, at this point, before we throw in the towel,
we’re going to ask for help.
For the five issues we have
printed, I estimate we have
spent 20-30 hours per issue gathering, writing, taking
photos,
becoming
graphic artists, formatting
delivering, selling, and so
on. Our garden is neither
tilled nor planted. We hardly have time to breathe, let
alone enjoy. All told, we
question exactly what we
are doing trying to run a

Letters to the Editor
Whoa Up A Minute, Folks!
As you know, or don’t know, one city councilman
and an invitee addressed the idea of the City of Glenns
Ferry taking over the current old established water
mains and customers of King Hill Irrigation District
(KHID) that lay within Glenns Ferry.
Before this starts gaining any steam to go through
with, I strongly suggest that all GF residents consider a
few things: 1) The existing KHID original irrigation system inside GF had deteriorated to the point that the
vast majority of the lines are at the last limits of their
years. This is the result of normal corrosion of the old
iron pipe used years ago. The lines are tissue paper
thin and are failing more frequently year after
year...and it is not going to get better in the future. 2)
In order to meet financial demands, GF cut their
maintenance crews back to 4 days a week a number of
years ago. You have six months of KHID water running
through the old lines and that means the need for 24-7
city coverage for those lines. How is GF going to cover
this additional expense? If there is a break or whatever
that demands immediate attention, you are looking at 2
-4 city employees plus equipment costs and whatever
the cost is for repair materials. Where is this money to
magically come from? 3) If the city can’t afford to make
much needed street repairs, where is the money to
come from to get into this King Hill water idea and support the additional costs? 4) Right now, the GF people
on GF irrigation are paying far more than what original
KHI city water users are. I have been informed by one
city council person that if GF takes over existing KHI
water that the “current rates” for original KHI cursomers will remain the same. Who’s kidding who? The
first thing on city council agenda will be to raise those
customers’ rates to match GF irrigation rates come next
April. This has got to be the worst kind of business venture Glenns Ferry can ever get into. It is time for GF
residents to tell city council “NO” to this suggestion.

6th Grade Hot Air Balloon Rally
On May 24th, Mrs. Martin’s 6th grade Physical Science students
hit the Middle School lawn at 8:30 a.m. to launch hot air balloons
they had designed and constructed as a science project. The project first began four years ago when Mrs. Martin was looking for a
way to help her students understand the principle of density. Density is the amount of matter in a given space and can be found by
dividing the mass of an object by its volume. It is the property of
matter that determines if an object will float or sink.
The idea for the laboratory project came from an Intel Teaching
resource available on the web at the time. It has been adapted and
adjusted over the years, but is a project highly anticipated by students every year. A lot of work goes into preparing for the rally
each spring. Students must follow the scientific process to write a
hypothesis, plan an experiment, select materials and find the density of each material, choose or create a balloon design, construct the
balloon, test fly, modify, and repeat as necessary. Prototype testing
is conducted in Mr. Hance’s shop where he serves as the
“Flamemaster”. Without Mr. Hance’s generous and willing participation, this project could not be done.
Some years the rally is held in the high school gym due to
weather. Just a little morning breeze can wreak havoc on the tissue paper balloons, but this year the weather was perfect. The
morning was cool and calm as the students filed out onto the lawn
and the balloons flew beautifully. Eleven student lab groups competed against each other for the longest flight time.
Photo by Liza Martin
This year’s results are:
1st place: 3 Musket Balloons with their balloon Lightness at 56 seconds. The group consisted of Wyatt Castagnetto, Nick Hernandez, and Austin Cress.
2nd place: Floaters 101 and their balloon Skittles at 55 seconds. Group members were Natasha May, Nina Rasmussen, and Gabby Ramirez.
3rd place tie: Hot Stuff with their balloon Rosa, and group members Josue Mesillas, Garrison Christianson, Kegan Lenz, and Gabe Thomas;
The Warheads with their balloon Puff, Puff, and group members Yomeri Quesada, Jacie Ewart, Angel Nieto-Martinez, and Jake Berry. Both third
place balloons flew for a total of 53 seconds.
All hot air balloons met the lab requirements of maintaining flight a minimum of 10 seconds. Great job to all of the 6th graders for their efforts and success!

As reported in the June 1st issue of the
Glenns Ferry Times & Seasons, Doctor Geoff Williams, of the International
Childrens Surgical Foundation (ICSF),
joined numerous musicians and comedians on the stage at the Historic Opera Theatre to
celebrate the smile. Some exceptional comedians and
musicians provided smiles for attendees while Dr. Williams told the attendees about a girl named Pinky.
Pinky is a young girl in the Philippines who received a
life changing surgery that allowed her to smile for the
first time in her life. While providing personal followup care, Dr. Williams and his colleagues found that
Pinky lived with her family in a burned out nipa hut
in the jungle over a mile from the nearest roadway.
Upon seeing the family’s living conditions, they
reached deep into their own pockets and provided the
$500 to have a proper house built for the family.
The benefit concert was held to make attendees
smile and to hear about those who couldn’t, but now
can. Although each surgery is different, the cost of
these surgeries averages around 250 US Dollars. Even
though the turnout was very disappointing, donations
from the benefit will provide over 41 smiles for these
deserving kids around the world. If you would like to
learn more about the ICSF and its mission, please visit www.icsfoundation.org or inquire at the paper.

Separation of Church and State
William Orville Douglas was a Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court for 36 years, after
having taught law at Yale and Columbia University.
In the 1952 case of Zorach v. Clauson, Justice Douglas wrote: "The First Amendment, however, does not say that in every and all respects there shall be a separation
of Church and State...Otherwise the state and religion would be aliens to each otherhostile, suspicious, and even unfriendly..."
Justice Douglas continued: "We are a religious people whose institutions presuppose a Supreme Being...When the state encourages religious instruction...it follows
the best of our traditions. For it then respects the religious nature of our people and
accommodates the public service to their spiritual needs. To hold that it may not
would be to find in the Constitution a requirement that the government show a callous indifference to religious groups. That would be preferring those who believe in no
religion over those who do believe."
Justice William Douglas concluded: "We find no constitutional requirement which
makes it necessary for government to be hostile to religion...We cannot read into the
Bill of Rights such a philosophy of hostility to religion."
