Successful Blood Drive
The Glenns Ferry “Curly” Schamber Community Blook Drive
held on May 17th was a resounding success. The good people
of this community always seem to rise to the occasion, and this
drive was no exception. Forty seven willing donors came to the
Veteran’s Hall ready to share their precious blood with those in
need. Of those, 8 were deferred for various reasons such as low
iron, high blood pressure, or a recent trip to an area where malaria-carrying mosquitos hang out. A total of 39 units of blood
were collected to help replenish the Red Cross blood supplies.
The goal for the drive was 35 units, which we easily achieved.
We rarely miss our mark.
In the United States, someone needs a blood transfusion
about every two seconds. Red Cross statistics say that each
unit of donated blood can help save as many as three lives. A
hearty thanks to the willing donors of Glenns Ferry for the 117
lives they helped save. You’re the best!
We can always count on the school staff to support the Blood Drive.
Incumbents Fall in Primary Elections
Although incumbents running for seats in the US House of Representatives and
the US Senate fared well, the primary election held on May 17th was not kind to the
incumbents in District 23. Senator Mike Crapo, who ran unopposed, secured the
Republican spot on the November ballot, to face his Democratic challenger Jerry
Sturgill. Congressman Raul Labrador won the Republican nomination for District 1.
He will face Democrat James Piotrowski in November. In District 2, the November
lineup will see Republican Mike Simpson and Democrat Jennifer Martinez on the
ballot.
In state races, District 23 State Senator Bert Brackett ran unopposed. However,
the house of representatives was a different story. In the race for Seat A, Republican Christy Zito handed incumbent Rich Wills a loss in his bid for re-election. She
will face Democrat Mary Ann Richards in November. Seat B incumbent Republican
Pete Nielsen suffered a resounding loss to challenger Megan Blanksma. There was
no Democrat challenger in the race.
We thank those who have served us well for so many years, and look forward to
November, when we will choose new representatives for the road forward.
Wills Celebrate
50 Years
The Historic Opera Theatre was
the setting for the Golden Anniversary party for Richard and
Connie Wills of Glenns Ferry
last Saturday evening. Family
and friends gathered to help
celebrate this epic milestone. In
addition to good food and music, attendees had the opportunity to make merry with the
help of the Karaoke machine.
We join in wishing them many
happy years to come.

City Council Meeting
In the City Council
meeting on May 24, the
Council voted to apply for a
grant for the “Walk Safe,
Cross Safe” program with
the Idaho Transportation
Department to include a
10%
match
for
the
$100,000 grant. This program provides for a light
system in the road surface
at the cross walks that will
make those areas more visible and more safe for
school children.
Bonnie Layton asked for
the Council’s support and
authorization to move forward with developing the
Heritage Plaza project.
Heritage Plaza connects
History, Mobility and Public Safety. The council voted to support with up to
$5,000, if needed, to conduct a survey of the property and to accomplish professional renderings for the
proposed project improvements.
Also on the agenda was
the city ordinance against
keeping farm animals on
residential-zoned properties. After some discussion, the council voted to
grant a temporary waiver to
the ordinance until July
18th when the animals will
go to the fair. The waiver
applies only to “fair” animals, and only for the 2016
fair season. In order to be
part of the waivered animals, the owner must register at city hall by June
1st. The terms of the waiver include measures to mit-
igate noise, odor, and
pests, and the animals
must not be visible from
the street. If a complaint is
made on the basis of one of
the above reasons, immediate compliance with the
existing ordinance will be
enforced.
Once the temporary
waiver was approved, discussion began on a permanent solution to the issue.
Councilwoman Susan Case
had done extensive research on the issue, including canvassing other
cities in Idaho to see how
they dealt with the issue.
At one point the mayor
suggested that the matter
be put off until the budget
process was over and there
was more space on the city
council agenda. Councilwoman Case pushed hard
to have the matter resolved
as soon as possible, while
the research information
was still fresh in everyone’s
mind. The council finally
agreed to place the item on
the next meeting agenda
for discussion and resolution.
Mayor Wills gave further explanation of the new
project planning sheet for
capital improvements.
Councilwoman
Case
asked about the procedure
for dealing with trouble
calls to city hall. She advocated a tracking system to
ensure accountability and
timeliness on repairs and
resolutions.

This is the fourth issue
of the Glenns Ferry Times

it for a month now. We have
tried to provide news, information and entertainment
while providing a platform
for advertising. We have
received many positive
comments. And there have
been some generous donations to the success of the
paper.
There have been
oversights and slip-ups,
and the learning curve is
very steep—near vertical.
Last issue I discussed
that we needed donations
to supplement the advertising income for the paper to
survive. Some generous
community members have
opened up their hearts and
their wallets.
Today I’m going to be
brutally frank--after four
issues, there is one very
tired and frustrated editor
and his equally tired and
frustrated wife. Some people in the community have
offered to help in one fashion or another. Some businesses have said they
would advertise. In both
cases we have come up
short of what it takes to

Special Olympics Meet
The Special Olympics Unified Track Meet was held again this
year at the Middleton High School during the State High School
Track Meet. The Glenns Ferry Special Olympics Team for the
4x100 consisted of athletes Jose Galvan and Kirklynn Arellano,
and partners Sage Wootan and Cody Busch. As the school year
was coming to an end and with projects due, there was little time
for practice. Even so, they ran together like a well-oiled machine,
putting forth a good relay time.
The meet organizers added the 100-meter dash this year for the
athletes to compete in, along with the long jump and softball
throw/shot put. Both Jose and Kirklynn ran their personal best
times. They also jumped further and threw farther then they ever
have in the past. All in all, through rain squalls and cool weather,
the athletes and partners had a good time and got to compete
against old friends.

Mrs. Alfredson’s 6th grade class during Middle School
Portfolio presentations
Portfolio Presentations
Students in the 6th grade classes of Mrs. Martin and
Mrs Alfredson did their year-end portfolio presentations
on May 18th. The presentations cover four major areas:
math, social studies, science and language arts. Each
student had to complete a project in each of the four areas. Projects included such things as re-scaling a favorite candy wrapper and drawing it at least five times larger than the original; picking, studying, and reporting on
a national park; describing their cell model; participating in Patriot’s Pen writing contest. One of the major
considerations was how much reflection was shown in
the development of their presentations.
This year
marked the first year that the portfolio concept extended
into the high school. Both 9th and 10th graders also
participated in the program and it will ultimately extend
to 11th and 12th grades as well. The editor was invited
to help judge one session of presentations and was really impressed
By David Payne
Advice from Recent
College Graduates





Grades aren’t everything: get out of the books and the library
and get knee-deep in whatever it is that you think you might
want to do. College is all about preparing yourself for a career
and becoming a contributing member of society – it’s hard to
do that if you spend four years doing nothing but reading textbooks and studying. Employers and people in general care
more about what you’ve done than what you know (or rather,
what you think you know…)
Experience something new: college is about trying out new
things and experiencing things you haven’t tried before. Get
involved in service organizations, join a club, take up a new
hobby, try new foods, travel to a place you’ve never tried before. This will be one of the last big chunks of time you get, so
make the most of it. The memories you make now will last
forever.
Be okay with uncertainty: WWII general and U.S. President
Dwight D. Eisenhower once said, “Plans are nothing, but planning is everything.” It has also been said that no plan survives
contact with the real world. Have goals for your life, and know
what steps you need to take to work towards them, but don’t
be heartbroken if those plans don’t work. Readjust, reevaluate, and always be mindful of unexpected opportunities that
pop up as you go along. Sometimes the things you find along
the way are more important than the things you were looking
for in the first place.
by Curt Payne
Branch out: it is easy to want to stay with things that are familiar to you. Yes, you are comfortable in the house you grew up
with and the way your family did things. Yes, you may love
your squad. But, there is more than just one way to do things
and more friends out there than the ones you now know. It is
easy to feel comfortable with what you know, but that can
limit you immensely. The world can be such a small place, OR it
can be a huge place – the choice is up to you!
Learn to be flexible: I was the little kid who would cry if we
went to Burger King when the original plan was to go to
McDonalds, so I know what it is like to have a hard time being
flexible. During your college years, you will have many opportunities to interact with many people who will do things differently than you. Rather than immediately deciding that person
is wrong, or their way of doing something is wrong, observe!
Your roommate might fold her clothes differently than your
mom did for you growing up. Instead of judging her, try it out
and see what you think. Many of the opinions I cherished while
growing up have changed. I realized my parents did their best
raising me, but there is not just one way to fold clothes, do
dishes, etc. Learn to be flexible, form your own (educated)
opinions, and think for yourself.

Due to equipment problems beyond our immediate control, there were no
photos in the last issue
of the Glenns Ferry
Times & Seasons of the
Kindergarten Class and
the High School Music
Club. The fact that we
weren’t able to print the
photos should in no way
be taken as evidence that
they didn’t perform up to
the same outstanding level that the other grades
did. It was a superb performance by all.
What Makes You Smile!
Doctor Geoff Williams of the International Childrens Surgical Foundation (ICSF) joined numerous musicians and comedians on the stage at
the Historic Opera Theatre last night
to celebrate the smile. The comedy
and music provided the smiles for
those in attendance while Dr. Williams told the attendees of his adventures around the globe helping provide smiles for thousands of kids in developing countries who have been
deprived of the ability to smile. Facial birth defects and
accidents leave many unable to smile like you and I.
Surgeries that Dr. Williams and his team of exceptional
doctors perform make it possible for these kids to eat
and talk normally, and gives them a reason to smile.
This benefit concert was held to provide an opportunity to smile and to hear about those who couldn’t
but now can. If you missed the opportunity to attend
and have your heart touched, we can provide contact
information for the ICSF if you would like to make a
contribution to help someone else smile.

Final Exam
This past fall semester, at Duke University, there
were two sophomores who were taking Organic Chemistry and who did pretty well on all of the quizzes, midterms, labs, etc. Going into the final exam, they had solid "A's." These two friends were so confident going into the final that the weekend before finals week (even
though the Chem. final was on Monday), they decided
to go up to University of Virginia to a party with some
friends. So they did this and had a great time. However,
they ended up staying longer than they planned, and
they didn't make it back to Duke until early Monday
morning. Rather than taking the final then, they found
Professor Aldric after the final and explained to him
why they missed it. They told him that they went up to
Virginia for the weekend, and had planned to come
back in time to study, but that they had a flat tire on the
way back and didn't have a spare and couldn't get help
for a long time. So they were late getting back to campus. Aldric thought this over and agreed that they could
make up the final on the following day. The two guys
were elated and relieved. So, they studied that night and
went in the next day at the time that Aldric had told
them. He placed them in separate rooms, handed each
of them a test booklet and told them to begin. They
looked at the first problem, which was something simple about free radical formation and was worth 5 points.
"Cool" they thought, "this is going to be easy." They
did that problem and then turned the page. They were
unprepared, however, for what they saw on the next
page. It said: (95 points) "Which tire?"

After Graduating from High School, David moves away from
home to study at University. One of his letters home reads:
Dear Father,

After receiving his son's letter, the father immediately replies by
sending a letter back.
Dear David,

"Junior, put your arm

The only way a seed grows into
a plant is if it gets the proper
care---food, water, weeding,
pruning and so forth.
As graduates, you are each like
a fresh seed. You decide where the seed will be planted
and the care it will receive. You will make the decisions
that determine if your seed grows into a productive
and beneficial plant or if it starves and dies for lack of
proper care. Choose well!

A student at graduation is walking across the platform when he falls
through a large gap in the wood. His mom, unperturbed, says to everyone sitting near her “it’s just a stage he is going through”.
Naval Admiral William H. McRaven, ninth commander of U.S. Special Operations Command, at the University of Texas-Austin on

"If you make your bed every morning you will have
accomplished the first task of the day. It will give you
a small sense of pride and it will encourage you to do
another task and another and another. ... And, if by
chance you have a miserable day, you will come
home to a bed that is made—that you made—and a
made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow
will be better."

Cowboy Wisdom
Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.
Life is not about how fast you run, or how high you
climb, but how well you bounce.
A bumblebee is faster than a John Deere tractor.
Forgive your enemies. It messes with their heads.
It don’t take a very big person to carry a grudge.
The biggest troublemaker you'll probably ever have to
deal with watches you shave his face in the mirror every morning.
First Job
A 21-year-old is hired by
a hardware store. He shows
up for his first day of work at
8 AM sharp.
The boss welcomes him,
then hands him a broom.
“First, sweep out the store.
Then I’ll show you where the
window cleaning equipment
is.”
“Sir,” the young man protests. “You can’t be serious.
I’m a college graduate.”
“Oh, sorry,” says the manager, pointing to the broom.
“No problem. I can show you
how that thing works.”
Graduation day is tough for
adults. They go to the ceremony as parents. They come
home as contemporaries.
After twenty-two years of
child-raising, they are unemployed.

96-year-old Bank Note
The following is an actual letter that was sent to a bank by a 96 year-old woman. The bank manager
thought it amusing enough to have it published in the New York Times.
---------------------------To whom it may concern,
I am writing to thank you for bouncing my check with which I endeavored to pay my plumber last
month. By my calculations, three nanoseconds must have elapsed between his depositing the check and
the arrival in my account of the funds needed to honor it. I refer, of course, to the automatic monthly
transfer of funds from my modest savings account, an arrangement which, I admit, has been in place for
only thirty-one years. You are to be commended for seizing that brief window of opportunity, and
also for debiting my account $30 by way of penalty for the inconvenience caused to your bank. My
thankfulness springs from the manner in which this incident has caused me to rethink my errant financial ways. I noticed that whereas I personally attend to your telephone calls and letters, when I try to
contact you, I am confronted by the impersonal, overcharging, pre-recorded, faceless entity which your
bank has recently become. From now on, I, like you, choose only to deal with a flesh-and-blood person.
My mortgage and loan repayments will therefore and hereafter no longer be automatic, but will arrive at
your bank, by check, addressed personally and confidentially to an employee at your bank whom you
must nominate. Be aware that it is an offense under the Postal Act for any other person to open such an
envelope. Please find attached an Application Contact Status form which I require your chosen employee to complete. I am sorry it runs to eight pages, but in order that I know as much about him or her as
your bank knows about me, there is no alternative. Please note that all copies of his or her medical history must be countersigned by a Notary Public, and the mandatory details of his/her financial situation
(income, debts, assets and liabilities) must be accompanied by documented proof. In due course, I will
issue your employee with a PIN number which he/she must quote in dealings with me. I regret that it
cannot be shorter than 28 digits but, again, I have modeled it on the number of button presses
required of me to access my account balance on your phone bank service. As they say, imitation is
the sincerest form of flattery.
Please allow me to level the playing field even further. When you call me, you will now have a
menu of options on my new voice mail system to choose from.
Please press the buttons as follows:
1 To make an appointment to see me.
2 To query a missing payment.
3 To transfer the call to my living room in case I am there.
4 To transfer the call to my bedroom in case I am sleeping.
5 To transfer the call to my toilet in case I am attending to nature.
6 To transfer the call to my mobile phone if I am not at home.
7 To leave a message on my computer, a password to access my computer is required. Password
will be communicated to you at a later date to the Authorized Contact.
8 To return to the main menu and to listen to options 1 through 7.
9 To make a general complaint or inquiry. The contact will then be put on hold, pending the attention of my automated answering service. While this may, on occasion, involve a lengthy
wait, uplifting music will play for the duration of the call.
Regrettably, but again following your example, I must also levy an establishment fee of $50 to cover the
setting up of this new arrangement. Please credit my account after each occasion.
May I wish you a happy, if ever so slightly less prosperous, New Year.
