MVMS science teacher Randy Hickman received a $500 grant offered by Bingham County Farm Bureau. “Bingham County Farm Bureau offers $2,500 to the different schools if they write a mini grant. We give $500 to the teachers who write the grant,” said Farm Burea Federation’s Scholarship Committee Chair. To receive the grant the teacher has to show that ed project.

Students injected vegetable dye into the egg, with a syringe no bigger than a strand of hair, after using a dental burr dipped in iodine to prepare the area for the syringe loaded with dye. The students have to be very careful not to pierce the membrane when injecting the dye. The dye is not harmful to the chicks and will go away within a couple of weeks as the chicks lose their down and gain their feathers. “Keepers at the San Diego Zoo told us that the flamingos get their pink plumage from the pigment See GRANTS, A2 Bingham residents will ‘clean up’ on May 14 By LESLIE MIELKE [email protected] BLACKFOOT – Bingham County’s Clean-Up Day is scheduled from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 14.

The Raiders, one of the NFL’s most popular teams in Mexico, gave their fan base in the nation’s capital a taste of the NFL with a Fan Fest to kick off their activities prior to the first regular-season game in the country since 2005, when San Francisco played Arizona. “This is a great event, the Mexican fans are very important for the NFL and it was about time that they showed some support and return with a game,” said Yovani Ortega, a 28-year-old fan wearing a silver and black costume and shoulder pads with a couple of plastic skulls on top.

Sanchez left the ISU program this week. Gibson excited for future of ISU soccer For the MORNING NEWS POCATELLO — Maria Sanchez has no doubt been one of the best individual soccer players to step onto the pitch at Davis Field. In just two seasons, she ranks among the top five in ISU history in goals, goals per game, assists, assists per game, points, points per game and shots on goal. In 2015, she led the conference in multiple categories, earned firstteam all-Big Sky honors and the Big Sky Golden Boot award in addition to ranking nationally in goals scored. But circumstances change, and for Sanchez the commitment to her family and the Mexican national team have started to take on a greater role in her life and consequently greater responsibilities. Therefore, suiting up as a Bengal for the remainder of her college career was Educators are our foundation Parents, families and community are our partners Communication - Collaboration - Innovation The mission of Blackfoot School District No. 55, in partnership with the community, is to prepare students for the future by enabling every student to gain knowledge and skills, to develop confidence, to value life-long learning, and to become responsible contributing members of our changing world.

LAST YEAR'S WINNERS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE! no longer an option. “Maria was a wonderful addition to our team,” Head Coach Allison Gibson said. “She raised the level of our play; several of our players emulated her style of play and are better for it. Maria informed us [Wednesday] that she is stepping away from college soccer to assist her family during a difficult time and to focus on her Mexican national team commitments. We wish Maria and her family the very best now and in the future.” It seems that the Bengals have been prepared for this day for quite some time. Elite players, such as Sanchez, often take a unique route through college athletics given outside commitments to national teams, looming professional contracts and all the obligations that come with those endeavors. Prior to deciding to step away completely from college soccer, Sanchez was planning on redshirting the 2016 season to focus on her studies and the Mexican national team. So in a way, the Bengals soccer program was already prepping for life after Maria. “I think there was that initial concern that our offense has really been quite one-dimensional the last couple of years with players like Maria and like Amanda Ellsworth,” Gibson said. “In that absence, with Amanda graduating in 2015 and Maria departing this year, the challenge was set. The team knew that Maria was going to redshirt in the fall anyway, so the focus of the spring was developing a different style of play. We’ve adapted from a very direct style of play to more possession oriented. They knew that our style was going to change. They knew that our formation was going to change. Again, the challenge was set.” The Bengals stepped up to that challenge as several players saw their role expand and adapt in the absence of Sanchez. Meaghan Bare, Gibson said, became a huge impact player for the Bengals this spring to the point where she couldn’t be taken off the field. Nikolina Musto andTristen Spooner continue to show strength in the midfield. Ka’imi Morreira has become a resounding voice in the locker room and quite frankly the glue that keeps the new squad together. Jenny McCaw has transformed and Shawna Hennings, Gibson said, was simply unbelievable in goal this spring. “One of the things that both Amanda Ellsworth and Maria Sanchez have provided to the program over the last few years is that go-to player that our team relied on quite a bit, which can be a positive,” Gibson said. “But at the same time, Maria’s departure earlier this spring for the Mexican national team allowed the opportunity for other players to step into a more offensive goalscoring role. We developed more as a whole team this spring. In the fall, it was play it to Maria, let her score and hope to keep it out of the back of the net. Now, in the absence of that, we’ve had to share the ball, move it around and utilize every single player on the field…That’s kind of where we’re going in the future. The players that stepped up this spring for us and expanded their roles within the team were so critical to our development, and we needed them to do it. The fact that they stepped up and the way in which they stepped up just set the tone for the future with us.” Katherine Roberts and Cassidy Kaumeyer, the Bengals’ two captains, are two more players who have stepped up in ways Gibson has never seen before, and they are fueling the movement to change the culture of the Bengal soccer program. “We talked a lot about changing the culture of the team this spring,” Gibson said. “Changing it from what it was to a more competitive environment, to push the envelope, to be at the edge of your game every single day. Between Cassidy Kaumeyer and Katherine Roberts, our two captains, their vocal presence and respect from their teammates were apparent every day. It was awesome seeing the culture change…In our meetings [this spring], they said, ‘Everything is different. The way people look at each other is different, the way people talk in the locker room or on a throw in or corner kick…everything is different about who we are now.’ It took the challenges put in front of us to change, and I know in the long run that this is going to be a good thing. “There’s no doubt that this team has a huge hill to climb,” Gibson said. “We’re coming in with the right attitude and setting the tone as a staff; we’re going to get back to the nuts and bolts, work hard on the system, players’ roles within the system and the competition. We’ve talked about it all spring: if you’re not bought in, if you’re just 98 percent in, it’s not good enough. There can be no wavering when it comes to investing and committing to this program.” Battered and bloodied Clippers exit NBA playoffs early again LOS ANGELES (AP) — The battered and bloodied Los Angeles Clippers fought to the end only to exit the playoffs early once again. Together for five years now, Chris Paul and Blake Griffin have yet to make it past the second round and this time, they weren’t even around when the Clippers lost in six games to the Portland Trail Blazers after owning a 2-0 lead. Paul went out with a broken right hand in Game 4, when Griffin re-aggravated the left quadriceps injury that cost him 41 games this season. J.J. Redick was bothered by a heel injury over the final weeks of the season; DeAndre Jordan turned his ankle in the closing minutes Friday night; and Austin Rivers ended up with 11 stitches over and under his left eye after taking an inadvertent elbow from Al-Farouq Aminu in the first quarter of what became the Clippers’ fourth straight loss to end the season. “What I’ve loved about this group, they never looked for an excuse,” coach Doc Rivers said. “That team had more heart than any team I’ve ever seen. It was amazing to coach them.” The Clippers finished with a 55-33 record, including a secondplace finish in the Pacific Division, in Rivers’ third season. Last year, they lost to Houston in seven games in the Western Conference semifinals after blowing a 3-1 lead. In 2014, they bowed out in six games to Oklahoma City in the second round. “You have to be willing to get your heart broken to be a champion,” Rivers said. “You have to do it over and over again. We had a bunch of guys hurt.” Jamal Crawford, the league’s Sixth Man of the year, said the latest playoff failure felt different from the others. “I feel like the ones in the past, some of our fears, were kind of self-inflicted, something we kind of brought on ourselves,” he said, “but you lose your two best players in the same game, you get what you can and you live with the results.” It’s possible that Rivers, who is also president of basketball operations, could revamp the roster by trading away one of the Clippers’ Big Three after five years together without a title. Paul and Griffin each have one year left on their contracts, including player options for 201718.

DEAR DOCTOR K: For some time, I’ve had a burning and tingling in my mouth. My dentist and doctor seem to be mystified. What could be causing my symptoms, and what can I do? GarfieLd HaGar Dear Annie: My husband and I spend winters in a three-bedroom condo in Florida. A month ago, our daughter and her two teenage girls visited. We love having them. Here's the problem: The girls share a bedroom with ample room for their clothes. But by end of the week, no clothes were in the drawers. Everything they had, dirty and clean, was on the floor, along with their used tissues. It was a mess. I thought this was disrespectful of our hospitality. When the older granddaughter was questioned about it, she said that she would have picked things up and put them away had she been at a friend's house. So she knew better. Was I wrong to have expected them to have a reasonably clean room? I did keep their bedroom door closed most of the time, so I didn't have to see it, but I thought the degree of mess was tHe HorriBLe for Better Born Loser or Worse DEAR READER: Several things might be causing these bothersome symptoms. Some that come to mind are nutritional deficiencies -- particularly of B vitamins, iron and zinc. These problems can be detected by simple blood tests. Medicines that cause the mouth to become dry (due to decreased saliva production) can result in mouth irritation. There are too many of these medicines to list here, but check a reliable website that provides information about the drugs you may be taking and their side effects. Sometimes a person can develop an allergy to dentures and related adhesive creams, toothpastes or mouthwashes, which can cause irritation of the tissues of the mouth. You can experiment by seeing what happens when you stop using one of these potential allergy triggers (and substituting a different brand). One particular brand of toothpaste once caused such symptoms in me.

The next time the girls visit, tell them you expect them to keep their room reasonably tidy, because it is unfair of them to make you work so hard.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Speak on your own behalf and take care of your interests personally. You will be offered valuable information from a reliable source. Discipline and quick action will pay off. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Don’t take on someone else’s responsibilities. Follow your heart and your dreams, and turn your desires into reality. Live in the moment and love the one you are with. Dr. Anthony Komaroff Ask Doctor K small nerves, such as diabetes, can cause mouth pain. So can mouth infections, particularly with fungus (yeast). There also is a condition called burning mouth syndrome (BMS) that produces a burning -- sometimes scalding -- sensation on the lips and tongue and throughout the mouth. In BMS, the pain is present for at least some part of every day, the tissues of the mouth look normal (not irritated or inflamed) to the doctor or dentist, and the conditions I have mentioned already are not present. So that may explain why your dentist and doctor are mystified. We don’t know what causes BMS. Some think it is a psychiatric condition, but I’m dubious about that. I think that when doctors don’t understand the cause of a person’s symptoms, we sometimes think (and say to our patient) that the symptoms are just imaginary. That may make us feel better, but put away before they go to sleep. They may not do everything perfectly, but they will likely get more done than they did last time. Don't nag. Just remind them sweetly and with humor. And don't worry. They will still love you, Grandma. Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Bring about change based on your needs. A positive result will occur if you are disciplined and determined. it doesn’t make the patient feel so great. And if there really is a problem that we’re ignoring, we have failed. If I had to bet on what causes BMS, it would be this: subtle damage of the main nerve that detects pain in the mouth, the trigeminal nerve. Indeed, one study provides support for that theory. Low doses of tricyclic drugs, certain medicines often used for seizures, and some pain-killing medicines and creams applied directly to the parts of your mouth that hurt may all help. There are steps you can take to reduce your mouth discomfort. The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research recommends the following to keep symptoms at bay: -- Sip water frequently. -- Suck on ice chips. -- Avoid irritating substances: hot, spicy foods; mouthwashes with alcohol; and acid foods such as citrus fruits and juices. -- Chew sugarless gum. -- Avoid alcohol and tobacco. I’ll bet one of these remedies will help. Your problem should not be dismissed. (This column is an update of one that ran originally in April 2013.) 2A LOCAL Monday, June 30, 2016 E. Idaho man killed in crash had stolen 3 vehicles BINGHAM COUNTY, Idaho (AP) — The Bingham County Sheriff’s office says a man killed in accident earlier this week was driving a stolen truck. It was the third vehicle he had stolen that day. Bingham County Sherriff Craig Rowland says 33-year-old James Barry on Thursday stole a Ford truck with a cattle trailer attached to it. He then abandoned the truck to steal a second truck. After not getting very far, Barry got stuck in a sandbar and stole a 2007 Dodge Ram truck. Rowland says Barry wrecked the third stolen truck and later succumbed to his injury. The sheriff added that Rowland had several warrants for him in California and had been arrested several times in Bonneville County.

Wednesday, May 4 Bert Leroy Taylor passed away on April 30, 2016 from complications of asbestosis. Debunking his myth that only the good die young, he left this world at age 65. He’s finally breathing easy Bert was born on Oct. 16, 1950 in Blackfoot to Edward Russell Taylor and Mona Katherine Bailey Taylor. He was the youngest of four children and by far the most spoiled, especially by his one and only sister Barbara. Bert met the love of his life, Mona Hatley, in 1967 and somehow convinced her to marry him on Jan. 2, 1970. Together they raised five amazing children who are all proud to call him “Dad.” Bert supported his family by working in construction as a carpenter for many years before going to work for the Idaho National Laboratory in 1983 and retired from there after 29 years because of his health. Bert never met a stranger. Anyone who crossed his path became a friend and then part of the family. He had a knack for making everyone feel welcome, usually by making them feel totally uncomfortable at first and then putting his arm around them and saying, “Oh, I’m just kidding with ya.” He had an uncanny knack for always being in the right place at the right time to help anyone who may have needed a hand. Bert loved to be on the go. He was always out bummin’ and usually causing hate and discontent somewhere along the way. But his true passion • Story Time at 10 a.m. at Blackfoot Public Library, 129 N.

LAST YEAR'S WINNERS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE! 4A Monday, May 2, 2016 OPINION www.am-news.com MorningNews Counseling Corner Healthy handling of disagreements We all want our relationships to be warm, happy and always free of conflict, but in the real world this is often not the case. Whether it’s a romantic relationship, a family relationship, or even one between friends, at times there will be differences of opinions that can lead to disagreements, and sometimes to very strong, relationship-ending fall-outs. Virtually every relationship will have conflicts at times simply because, regardless of how much you love and respect each other, two individuals have different personalities, tastes, interests and backgrounds. But a relationship disagreement doesn’t have to be a major problem. If you learn to disagree fairly, and commit to working to find ways to resolve conflicts, a disagreement can often make a relationship stronger and help build the respect that each of you has for the other. A starting point is identifying the real source of the dissent. It’s not unusual for a couple to forget what originally prompted an argument or to find that each has a different concept about what really is the main issue. Once you’re agreed on why you disagree, it’s time to work out the conflict. That doesn’t mean a screaming match at bedtime, or stony silence and carefully ignoring the other person and the problem. Instead, start by finding a time when you’re both rested and able to give the situation your full attention without being interrupted by work or other people. Set some common sense ground rules for arguing fairly. Don’t, for example, simply blame the other person, insisting he or she is wrong. This just puts that person in a defensive position and all the more determined to fight. Instead, take some responsibility for the problem yourself (after all, it’s a fifty-fifty chance that you may just be in the wrong). Use positive “I” statements that talk about your feelings and thoughts, rather than “you” statements that have you telling the other person what he or she supposedly feels or thinks. Most importantly, listen. Give the other person a chance to talk and explain. Really listen to the feelings and emotions being expressed. When you work to disagree fairly and to resolve conflicts in a relationship, the result can be a stronger partnership with increased respect for each other. Your goal is a healthy relationship, not winning the argument at any cost. “Counseling Corner” is provided by the American Counseling Association.

The thing about dreams, see, is that they’re imaginary. A figment of your imagination. So you have a dream. Good for you. I had a dream, too. When I was 12. I was going to be a major league pitcher. Over the ensuing years, however, it became gradually apparent that the fastball that wowed them in Little League might not carry me to World Series stardom. To me, that’s one of the big lessons of sports: realism. How good you are, how good you’re not. How to deal with it. It’s when people bring unfettered illusions into the economic and political realm, however, that the trouble starts. One such example is a provocative essay in the May issue of The Atlantic by Neal Gabler. Despite five wellreceived books and hundreds of magazine articles in all the prestigious places, Gabler finds himself dead broke at age 66 -ducking creditors, driving a 19-year-old junker, in thrall to the IRS and having to borrow money from his adult daughters to pay the heating bill. “Financial impotence,” he calls it. While he says he’s not looking for sympathy, Gabler identifies with economically squeezed Americans who told pollsters for the Federal Reserve Board that they would have to meet a $400 emergency by either borrowing, selling something or worse. “Four hundred dollars!” Gabler writes. “Who knew? ... Well, I knew. I knew because I am in that 47 percent.” Well, Mitt Romney knew, if you recall. He expected GOP voters to be angry that a near-majority of Americans didn’t earn enough to pay Federal income taxes (although many end up remitting a greater proportion of their wealth to the government than Romney himself). However, Gabler’s point isn’t really political in the electoral sense. He professes concern about the aforementioned “American Dream.” He thinks it’s a pity that only 64 percent in a 2014 New York Times poll professed belief in this phantasm, defined as “that great, glowing, irresistible American promise that has been drummed into our heads since birth: Just work hard and you can have it all.” Actually, no you can’t. And you never could. Respectfully, Gabler appears to have spent too much time on planet Hollywood. He worries that people’s money problems have “perhaps begun to diminish our national spirit. People want to feel, need to feel, that they are advancing in this world. It is what sustains them.” Some would say that defining the national spirit entirely in material terms can only lead to sorrow. But let’s not get metaphysical in a newspaper column. The author of biographies of Walt Disney, Walter Winchell and Barbra Streisand, Gabler appears to have fallen into what my friend Gwen Moritz aptly defines as “the fatal trap of believing that (he) deserved a lifestyle (he) simply couldn’t afford.” To somebody like me whose professional career roughly parallels Gabler’s, the man’s personal choices are mind-boggling. As he correctly points out, “writer ... is a financially perilous profession.” To keep your head above water, it’s important to keep your wits about you. Without my wife’s steadfastness and hard work, I’d never have made a go of it. But if wealth and status are your primary goals, you’re probably in the wrong game. Gabler appears to have made one financially ruinous decision after another -- hiding the truth from himself and his family with equal facility. Even his confession sometimes conceals as much as it reveals. Moritz says she actually screamed when Gabler mentioned cashing out his retirement account to pay for his daughter’s wedding -- this after spending his father’s savings to send his children to costly private colleges. He wanted them to be “winners.” Me, I was flabbergasted when he mentioned buying a house in East Hampton, New York, the most exclusive CEO- and celebrity-enclave on the East Coast. A visit to the yacht club there could make an ordinary peasant nostalgic for the age of piracy. This two years before selling his family’s Brooklyn co-op. His combined mortgage payments must have rivaled Portugal’s national debt. Then there was Gabler’s stretching out a lump-sum book advance by failing to pay taxes. Slate’s Helaine Olen says “I don’t believe there are 10 people in the United States who couldn’t tell you that would end badly.” Equally bewildering is the personal angle. See, when they left the city, Gabler’s wife gave up her career as a film executive. “(W)ith my antediluvian masculine pride at stake, I told her that I could provide for us without her help -- another instance of hiding my financial impotence, even from my wife. I kept the books; I kept her in the dark.” So what can she have been thinking? The wonder is that they haven’t divorced. It’s a fascinating confession, but few will find it ultimately persuasive.

Lisa Carriere said in court Friday that she slapped a 6-year-old autistic student after the child raised his hand at her during a lesson. Carriere told the judge that she hit the boy dur- ing speech therapy class. She could tell the boy was tired, but she continued with the lesson. She says the child acted aggressively and she feared for her life, Carriere said. Carriere resigned from the school soon after the incident occurred in January. “I overreacted, your honor,” she said. “It is the worst mistake of my life.” Judge Thomas Sullivan sentenced Carriere to 180 days in jail with 175 days suspended. He also ordered her to serve 50 hours of community service, and $500 in fines and court costs. She was also ordered to serve two years of unsupervised probation. “There’s something about that mark on the boy’s face that seems to be more than impulsively acting out in fear,” Sullivan said after seeing a photo of the boy’s face shortly after it was slapped. “There’s a little anger in that mark.” However, the judge added that he had received 21 letters in support of Carriere’s professionalism and character. Sullivan gave Carriere a withheld judgment, meaning her case will be dismissed once the probation period is finished. The boy’s parents, Joyce Rodriguez and Victor Rodriguez, gave a statement to the judge. “Tears still fall and they will always fall thinking of the hand print left on his face,” Joyce Rodriguez said, crying as she spoke to Sullivan. Her son was found pressing his face against the school bathroom floor to ease the sting of the slap, Rodriguez said. Around the state Boise halts renovation on complex that forced out refugees BOISE, Idaho (AP) — The city of Boise has halted the remodel of an apartment complex that formerly housed mostly refugees because the owners do not have the proper permits. City spokesman Mike Journee tells KTVB-TV (http:// bit.ly/1rqskh5 ) that officials discovered the lack of permits while inspecting various renovation projects at Glenbrook Apartments. The city has since put up signs requiring contractors to stop work on the renovations. Late last year, Verity Property Management notified most tenants that their month-to-month leases would not be renewed. Furthermore, tenants were alerted the renovation would cause the complex to up its rents by hundreds of dollars. The project sparked outcry from the community, and Mayor Dave Bieter made several requests to the owners to give tenants more time to move out. Glenbrook Apartment owner Caran Daly declined to comment. Rafael Cruz to preach in N.

Rafael Cruz will preach at the Altar Church in Coeur d’Alene on Sunday. Authorities say 30-year-old Kyle Odom shot pastor Tim Remington eight times outside the church on March 6 a day after leading a prayer at a Cruz rally. He then flew to Washington, where he was arrested while throwing items onto the White House lawn. As of early April, Remington was recuperating at home and recently told supporters he’ll return to his parish soon.

The Idaho Statesman (http://bit.ly/1TaAnEI) reports that the police department appointed patrol officer Dan Lister nearly a year ago. Police Chief Bill Bones says he created the position to alleviate mistrust of police, particularly among those hesitant to report crimes for fear of poor police treatment. So far, Bones says the department has received positive feedback. “It’s not, ‘Oh, no, the police are here,’ “ Bones said. “But we know we still have work to do. You don’t just change 200 years of discrimination.” Lister says he’s met with various LGBT groups to explain his role and field questions. Boise has a low number of LBGT residents reporting crimes, ranging from severe to the so-called everyday crimes, Bones said. The low numbers led him to research the role of liaison officers in cities like Seattle, San Francisco and Portland.

Bowe Bergdahl’s legal case to resume, rejecting prosecutors’ arguments that defense attorneys were given too much leeway on accessing classified documents. The United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals denied prosecutors’ appeal in a ruling released late Saturday by defense attorneys. The court also lifted a stay from February on pretrial proceedings being heard at Fort Bragg in North Carolina. Bergdahl faces charges of desertion and misbehav- ior before the enemy after he walked off an outpost in Afghanistan in 2009 and was held by the Taliban and its allies for five years. The latter charge is relatively rare and carries a punishment of up to life in prison. Prosecutors had argued the military judge erred in a decision that “directs the unauthorized disclosure of classified information and grants the defense unfettered access to classified information,” according to court documents. In an opinion dated Thursday, the three-judge appeals panel wrote that it disagreed with prosecutors’ interpretation. The judge overseeing Bergdahl’s military trial, Army Col. Jeffery Nance, had ordered prosecutors in February to turn over many of the classified documents they had gathered, subject to certain rules. His order had also allowed defense attorneys to obtain other classified information without taking steps that prosecutors said were necessary. Prosecutors argued that, in either instance, another layer of approval was needed. Defense attorneys argued that Nance’s order was sound and that existing rules already require them to notify the judge and prosecutors if they intend to disclose any classified information dur- ing the case. They wrote that prosecutors were trying to make them follow an “endlessly inefficient” process that “would overwhelm these most senior members of our government by requiring their personal decision on every one of hundreds of thousands of documents.” Army spokesman Paul Boyce said in an email Sunday that Army officials are working on scheduling Bergdahl’s case. He didn’t answer a question about whether prosecutors would file another appeal. Bergdahl’s military trial was tentatively scheduled to start in August, but pretrial proceedings were halted while the appeals court considered the classified documents dispute. He was arraigned in December, but has yet to enter a plea. Bergdahl, of Hailey, Idaho, walked off his post in eastern Afghanistan in June 2009, and was released in late May 2014 as part of an exchange for five detainees in Guantanamo Bay. The move prompted harsh criticism, with some in Congress accusing President Barack Obama of jeopardizing the safety of the country.

When BOISE, Idaho (AP) — For Idaho House Speaker Scott Bedke, fighting for his seat has been an uneventful battle. Bedke has been unopposed in both primary and general elections for more than a decade, but has raised more than $269,000 since kicking off his political career. He’s spent more than $109,000 of it helping other’s people’s races. It’s a common practice — and legal — under Idaho’s campaign laws, where the legislature’s fundraising powerhouses are often men and women who don’t have challengers, but have overflowing war chests. This small group is made up of powerful leaders who oversee key committees in charge of approving or killing legislation. “If there’s not competition between different parties, there is usually competition inside the party,” said Jaclyn Kettler, an assistant professor of political science at Boise State University. “Most of it is party leaders helping other party members out, but you do see occasionally non-incumbents trying to demonstrate they’re a team player.” The first round of campaign finance reports for the upcoming May 17 primary election won’t be due until seven days before Election Day, but prior reports show a steady trend of unopposed candidates flexing their influence by contributing inside their party. In 2014, Bedke was one of 28 lawmakers who raised thousands of dollars with no opponent in either election cycle. However, Bedke topped them all by raising more than $69,000 in campaign contributions as well as roughly $36,000 for his recently launched New Horizons political action committee. He spent the majority of that money on more than 40 fellow House Republican races — primarily in $500 chunks. The leftover money was spent on donations, travel expenses and other operations costs, such as $150 at Morey’s Steakhouse in Burley, $200 for a donation to the Oakley High School volleyball team and $316 for a new lamp at Pottery Barn. there that September night in 1986. Someone had wrapped the newborn in a tan towel before placing him in a cardboard box and leaving it outside a thrift shop on Muldoon Road. Around 9 p.m., an anonymous caller told 911 dispatchers there was a baby near a clothes donation bin outside the Salvation Army, the one just off the Glenn Highway. Before police and ambulances could get there, two teenage boys out riding bikes in the fall twilight heard his cries. They looked inside the cardboard box, scooped the squalling baby up and cycled home with him. The baby was still coated with afterbirth. T U D BO E A PE T! S E SK - N A IGH ER H NT I plastic twist-tie used to secure a garbage bag. “It was real young,” one of the teenagers later told a newspaper reporter. “Not old at all.” At the hospital, nurses put a plastic identification band on the infant’s wrist. “DOE, Baby Boy” it read. “9-4-86.” For a few days, news of the baby in the box captivated Anchorage: It was in the newspaper, on TV and on the radio. There was so much interest, the baby’s foster mother later told him nurses at the hospital had to keep eager well-wishers away. Now that baby is almost 30-years old. His name is Benjamin Tveidt. He lives in Boise. It is time, he thinks, loneliness’ Tveidt, a soldier in the Idaho Army National Guard, understands the chances he will find his biological parents are slim. But every time he fills out a medical history form that asks about his family with an “N/A,” he wonders. Knowing nothing about your birth parents “is a special kind of loneliness,” he said. “It’s hard to explain.” So, for the last few years, Tveidt has been using a very modern method to seek his biological parents: DNA testing combined with the vast hive-mind of the internet’s genealogists. When Tveidt was deployed to Iraq in 2010, the price hit an affordable $99, he bought one. From a simple saliva swab he learned the basics about his own DNA: He was of European ancestry, mostly British. “In one minute it was more information than I’d ever had about myself my whole life,” he said. He also learned he could post his DNA profile on a website and possibly be matched to people who were genetically related to him. He quickly found two distant relatives: Janice Johnson, a retired geneticist and amateur genealogist who lives in Newbury Park, California, and Juanita Genness, another retired hobby genealogist from Maine. 2 Year TV Price Guarantee NO AMERICA’S TOP 120 PLUS NO HIDDEN MONTHLY JUST $49.99/MO.

Th e National Interagency Fire Center’s outlook for the spring and summer shows the potential for significant fires will be below average for much of Texas, the South and the southern Midwest. But some regions will face active fire seasons. Here’s a look at specific areas with increased danger this season: HAWAII Hawaii could face a long, hot summer, with above-average wildfire potential from May through August after a drought intensified last month, the fire center said. The islands are entering a typically dry time of year, so the drought will likely persist or even get worse, even with normal precipitation, the outlook said. SOUTHWEST An increased threat of wildfires is expected in southern Arizona in May, expanding into southwestern New Mexico and southern Nevada and Utah in June. By July and August, conditions will improve in Arizona and New Mexico, but a strip near the California coast from the San Francisco Bay to the Mexican border could see above-normal chances of fire. California is vulnerable because much of the state remains in a drought, despite an El Nino weather system that brought nearaverage snow and rain to the northern half of the state and its northern mountains. Northwestern Nevada and southeastern Idaho could also see fire-prone conditions later in the summer. ALASKA South-central Alaska will vulnerable in May after scant snow fell over the winter. Conditions should improve by June, forecasters said, and wildfire potential is expected to be normal across Alaska for the rest of the summer. Last year, fires burned nearly 8,000 square miles in Alaska, more than half the total nationwide. OVERALL OUTLOOK Fire officials were not available Sunday to dis- cuss the outlook. But U.S. Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell discussed it with The Associated Press on Wednesday while in Denver for a conference on forest health. “We anticipate the severity of the fire season will not be at the same level as last year, (but) we still expect to have some areas that will be really active,” Tidwell said. “We’re ready for it,” he added. The improved overall outlook is welcome news after the 2015 fire season, when a record 15,800 square miles burned nationwide. Alaska and the Pacific Northwest were particularly hard-hit. The Forest Service — the nation’s primary wildfire-fighting agency — spent more than $1.7 billion fighting fires last year, and Congress approved an additional $520 million. New tests lead to Phoenix freeway shooting case’s undoing PHOENIX (AP) — Leslie Merritt Jr. sat in a police interrogation room, unaware of why he had just been swarmed by SWAT officers and whisked away in handcuffs. “Why do you think you would be here?” the detective asked. “I have no idea, man. Traffic ticket or something,” Merritt replied. Not even close. After weeks of random shootings on Phoenix freeways that rattled residents, police believed they had their man. The interrogation went on for more than two hours, culminating with the detective telling him that ballistics experts had matched his handgun to four of the 11 shootings and they had him on video pulling the trigger. The lat- ter was a lie. The former would eventually be the undoing of it all. Seven months after Merritt’s arrest, the entire case fell apart, leading to his release, the dismissal of charges, allegations of a botched investigation and a gunman authorities dubbed a domestic terrorist possibly still on the loose. Police believe the shootings began Aug. 27 and continued until Sept. 10. Investigators determined eight of the incidents were bullet strikes while the remaining three were some other projectiles. They also believed that while they had a serial shooter on the loose, some of the crimes were likely copycats. Charter bus driver Robert McDonald first thought he hit something while on Interstate 10 on Aug. 29. But when McDonald stopped his empty bus, he was shocked to see what appeared to be a bullet hole. Police arrived 20 minutes later. “It hadn’t really hit me that somebody took a shot at me,” said McDonald, who still has trouble sleeping.

They flooded the highways with patrol cars. They monitored freeway cameras. And signs posted over roadways offered drivers a tip line to call in suspicious activity. Then came a break in the case. It was the morning of Sept. 11, a day after the last shooting. Cops had a lead. They swooped in with guns drawn and arrested a 19-year-old man they called a person of interest. “It was good police work,” Arizona Department of Public Safety spokesman Bart Graves said at the time. The man was released a week later. No connection. The investigation continued with a renewed sense of urgency. Experts examined bullets retrieved from the crime scenes until they say they determined the exact type of weapon used in the shootings. Detectives fanned out to pawn shops, hoping for a lucky break, retrieving every one of those guns and running tests until the DPS crime lab found a match. It was Sept. 17. The firearm was traced back to Merritt. He was arrested a day later. “I was convinced that Leslie Merritt was the guy,” McDonald said. “I was, like everybody else, sure. Ballistics doesn’t lie.” That, in fact, would soon be put to the test as the gun became the lynchpin of the case. Merritt was only charged with the first four shootings. The rest remain unsolved. But the tip line signs came down. As the case weaved through the courts, Merritt languished in jail unable to come up with the money for his $1 million bond or expensive attorneys. He pleaded not guilty to numerous charges, including drive-by shootings and aggravated assault. That’s when two highprofile lawyers say they saw holes in the case and stepped in to represent Merritt. As prosecutors prepared for trial, they had their own forensics expert re-test the bullets against Merritt’s gun. The results were damning — but not in the way authorities hoped. The expert found the DPS crime lab came to a faulty conclusion, noting the bullets “could neither be excluded or identified” as having come from Merritt’s gun. Merritt’s attorneys began to dig deeper. Based on measurements of the heights of vehicles that were struck and the height of Merritt’s car, along with examining the trajectory of the bullets, they say it is fantasy that their client fired the shots. MorningNews am-news.com NATION Monday, May 2, 2016 9A End of an era: Elephants to perform for final time at Ringling Bros. circus PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Elephants will perform for the last time at the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus on Sunday, as the show closes its own chapter on a controversial practice that has entertained audiences since circuses began in America two centuries ago. Six Asian elephants will deliver their final performances in Providence, Rhode Island, and five will perform in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, during several shows on Sunday. The last Providence show will stream live on Facebook and at Ringling.com at 7:45 p.m. Alana Feld, executive vice president of Feld Entertainment, which owns the circus, said the animals will live at its 200acre Center for Elephant Conservation in Florida. Its herd of 40 Asian elephants, the largest in North America, will continue a breeding program and be used in a pediatric cancer research project. Elephants have been used in the circus in America for more than 200 years. In the early 1800s, Hackaliah Bailey added the elephant “Old Bet” to his circus. P.T. Barnum added the African elephant he named “Jumbo” to “The Greatest Show on Earth” in 1882. The Humane Society says more than a dozen circuses in the United States continue to use elephants. But none tour as widely or are as well- known as Ringling Bros. It’s also getting more difficult for circuses to tour with elephants. Dozens of cities have banned the use of bullhooks — used to train elephants — and some states are considering such legislation. Just as in the Disney movie “Dumbo,” elephants in the past have been dressed up as people and trained to do a range of tricks: play baseball, ride bicycles, play musical instruments, wear wedding dresses or dress in mourning clothes, said Ronald B. Tobias, author of the 2013 book “Behemoth: The History of the Elephant in America.” The change at Ringling signifies a shift in Americans’ understanding of elephants, Tobias said. People no longer see elephants as circus performers, he said, “but sentient animals that are capable of a full range of human emotions.” Attitudes are shifting about other animals as well. Last month, Sea World announced it would end live orca shows and breeding. Ringling will continue to use animals including horses, lions, tigers, dogs and kangaroos in its shows, Feld said. Before Sunday’s show, around half a dozen protesters stood outside, including one wearing a lion costume, to protest Ringling’s use of animals. The Humane Society has called for an end to the breeding program and for Ringling to retire the animals to one of two accredited sanctuaries, one in California and one in Tennessee, both of which have more than 2,000 acres of land. Feld said they have the most successful breeding program in North America and have determined they can accommodate the elephants in the space they have. In 2014, Feld Entertainment won more than $25 million in settlements from animalrights groups, including the Humane Society, over unproven allegations of mistreated elephants. An announcer told the crowd before Sunday’s performance in Providence about the cancer project. Cancer is less common in elephants than humans, and their cells contain 20 copies of a major cancersuppressing gene, compared with just one copy in humans. A researcher at the University of Utah is working with Ringling to study the elephants’ blood cells. Tobias said as attitudes have changed, people are more interested in seeing elephants in a natural habitat such as a sanctuary, rather than in a circus or zoo. “I think people will get a lot more satisfaction out of elephants living their real lives than to see them performing as clowns,” Tobias said. “It’s kind of a new age in our understanding and sympathy and empathy toward elephants.” Service & repair Time!

Hwy. 26 (Arco Hwy) Senator: Probe billboards using phone data to track shoppers NEW YORK (AP) — A U.S. senator is calling for a federal investigation into an outdoor advertising company’s latest effort to target billboard ads to specific consumers. New York Sen. Charles Schumer has dubbed Clear Channel Outdoor Americas’ so-called RADAR program “spying billboards,” warning the service may violate privacy rights by tracking people’s cell phone data via the ad space. “A person’s cellphone should not become a James Bond-like personal tracking device for a corporation to gather information about consumers without their consent,” Schumer, a Democrat, said in a statement ahead of a planned news conference Sunday in Times Square, where the company operates billboards. But the company, which operates more than 675,000 billboards throughout the world, argues that characterization of its program is inaccurate, insisting it only uses anonymous data collected by other companies. In a statement, company spokesman Jason King said the RADAR program is based on a years-old advertising technique that “uses only aggregated and anonymized information” from other companies that certify they’re following consumer protection standards. King also provided a copy of a letter it sent earlier this year to another lawmaker who has similarly raised concerns about the ad service and consumer protections. The company “does not receive or collect personally identifiable information about consumers for use in Radar,” CEO Scott Wells wrote in a March letter to Sen. Al Franken, a Minnesota Democrat. “It’s not necessary for the insights we are offering our advertising customers.” • Diabetic Foot Care • Injuries & Sprains • Warts • Flat Foot • Heel Pain • Minimal Incision Surgery • Bunions • Hammertoes • Ingrown Toenails • Ankle Arthroscopy Dr. Darin Podiatrist G.
