The Silent Auction presented a wide variety of items to bid on, and the bidding was generous, since all proceeds from the event will benefit local business development. Ron Wrest from Payette County Economic Development declared he no longer feels like the neglected “Maytag Repairman,” due to the upsurge in economic development, and Tom Laird, plant manager from Blue Sky Biodiesel, updated the group on the new plant in New Plymouth’s business park, the first biodiesel plant in the state. ( Additional photos, page 10-11) Volunteers really “Paint the Town” Our “Paint The Town” project was a great success. Starting on June 5, people began the prep work on DeAnn Braun’s home, ending the week on Saturday, June 10, with the final painting. We had 7 Kiwanians and 10 community members volunteer their time to paint DeAnn’s home and stain her deck. Three of the Coffee Hour ladies provided lunch for all those hard workers, who donated a combined 33 hours of fun giving back to community. DeWayne and Jeannette Mayer would like to personally thank all those who helped make this event possible: The “Paint The Town” Organization out of Boise for the painting supplies; Franklin Lumber in Fruitland for donating the deck stain/sealant; Kenny & Keele in Ontario for brushes to stain the deck; DeAnn Braun’s newly-painted home with its freshly-stained deck is a Ontario Rental in Ontario for the paint sprayer great testimonial for “Paint the Town” and the crew of the generous volunteers who donated a total of 33 hours to complete the project. discount.

Our Guest Speaker was Linda Albers from Sunbeam Farms, discussing Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), a program that offers an opportunity for families and individuals to subscribe to a share of locally-grown produce. CSA is a direct partnership between the consumer and the farmer, and the consumer shares the risks with the farmer. Before growing season begins, the members pay a subscription fee, and in exchange receive a share of the produce grown that season. At Sunbeam Farms, the goal is to continue the tradition of the family farm, establish a sustainable system and use environmentally sound methods to grow healthful, nutritious food. They do not use harmful pesticides, herbicides or synthetic fertilizers. Benefits of belonging to a CSA include: •A weekly harvest share of fresh vegetables, fruits and herbs delivered to a pick-up sight convenient to you (or for an additional fee, they deliver to your door) from a nearby orchard. The fruit deliveries begin in late June and include cherries, apricots, peaches, pears and apples. The season will consist of 22 weeks of deliveries from late May through mid-October. They offer full shares (enough for a family of 4), half shares (for two adults) and single shares. Sunbeam’s future plans are to create a nice walkway through the gardens and a meditation orchard in the center. •A newsletter to keep you informed of activities at the Currently Linda does not cover this section of the farm valley, but with enough interest from 30 or more families, she would seriously consider coming this way •Helping to support and preserve farmland. •Knowing your farmer - CSA’s have been described as next harvest season.

Hazel McKinnon would pick her up now and then and take her to evening church with her brood. When she brought Ardy back to our apartment before heading home, she was smiling as if she had something to tell me that she couldn’t repeat in front of Ardy. She phoned a little later and this is the story she related. You have to picture a four year old. Hazel told me Ardy was sitting on her lap and had her arms folded on the pew in front of her, her chin resting on her arms. The sermon tonight was DULL and LONG. People were getting restless. Ardy breathed an audible sigh and blurted quite loudly, “OH, PLEASE BE QUIET!” The preacher looked at his watch and admitted he’d talked too long. The closing hymn and prayer were all that remained. Several people patted Ardy on top of her curls as they left. She had said what many had thought. I was glad Hazel and I had both insisted she always say “please be quiet” instead of “SHUT UP.” Well, I told you last week that I was pregnant. It was still a time when women hid their “condition.” Ardy was with us and it was such fun. Short had earlier decided I should use my money for whatever I wanted to buy for the baby, and he would support the household on his money. It worked out OK until I ran out of my savings from A & P. He began leaving me a couple of dollars each day so I could shop for groceries at the corner store. One day I bought a magazine for 25 cents. I was told that evening, in no uncertain terms, that we didn’t NEED a magazine. I shrugged. I’d go to the library when I wanted something to read. Daddy also began bringing me paperbacks by the peck basket full. It was an uneventful pregnancy. Near my due date we sent Ardy to Hazel’s until the birth and recovery were completed. Short had been staring at my expanding abdomen with a worried frown on his face. One evening I scolded, “Go to Higg’s Inn. Stop staring. I’m not going to explode. I’m fine.” He grinned sheepishly. “I know. I’ve seen plenty of births on the farm. SPLURT and it’s all over.” I hoped he was teasing. The sparkle in his eye proved me right. He called his buddy, Bill Taylor, and they took off. I walked over to a neighbor’s house. We watched Milton Berle and a couple of other shows until 10 p.m. I went home, showered and went to bed. It wasn’t long before I realized I shouldn’t have urged the guys to go out. By the time they returned, I knew it was time to go to the hospital, and was grateful it was just around the corner from our apartment. I was rushed to the delivery room without the customary prep. Tommy Paul was born within 45 minutes after I’d realized I was in labor. One of the nurses asked me later what I thought of my new son. My reply was, “Give him a cigar and he’ll look just like Edward G. Robinson from the gangster movies.” Fortunately, it only took a week for his head to shape up into a normal-looking babe. He’d wanted to get born really fast and got squished in the process. Another story about my Ardy. She used a white crayon generously on the dark-colored bathroom door. A bucket of soapy water was supplied, and I sat on the edge of the bed for the long time it took her to scrub off the offending marks. In retaliation, she went outside the next day and decorated the green door frame and picture window sill with a black crayon. Out came the scrub bucket again, and this time everyone in the neighborhood got to watch this mean mother supervising the cleanup crew. The crew’s name was Ardy. It began to rain, but she was instructed to continue scrubbing until I was satisfied it was clean. Then I took my little girl into the apartment to dry off. That was the end of her home-decorating career. Short and Bill Taylor had joined in a steel-hauling business. I can’t say partnered. We had no money to invest. Bill bought a ratty old truck and Short and his brother, John, would be the drivers. Between the three of them, they could keep the truck on the road around the clock. The truck, however, had other ideas. Youngstown, Ohio, Wheeling, West Virginia, and Midland, Pennsylvania, were all steel towns, and they were sure they would make a killing. Old trucks, however, seem to have a mind of their own. Thinking up a good business while seated on a bar stool and operating a good business resulted in too many operating and repair expenses. It didn’t last long. We were on the verge of destitute. All the money was being funneled into keeping that pitiful truck on the road. Another move had to take place. Von Gail Hamilton was born in Ohio and lived in Utah and Arizona before moving to Idaho seven years ago. Her weekly contributions to the New Plymouth News began in August 2004, with a “thank-you” from her blind dachshund, Junior, who appreciated the kindness of his New Plymouth neighbors. Junior addressed the community for about 26 weeks. When he ran out of material, Von began publishing excerpts from the many books she has written. She has submitted more than 90 columns. And so Von continues... Remember - Horseshoe Days is Saturday, June 17! Check out the agenda, page 14. FOXTROT BY BILL AMEND The Clinic at New Plymouth 112 S.

The Clinic at New Plymouth-an appointment-based clinic and an affiliate of West Valley Medical Center WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14, 2006 ISSUE 125 NEW PLYMOUTH NEWS Coach’s Review WEATHER FORECAST Weds., Jun 14 By Dallas Huffman, SaberCats Head Coach Partly Cloudy 75°/54° 20 % Thurs., Jun 15 To all those out there that have followed the Sabercats throughout this very trying year: I would like to thank you for all the support you have given us. It is my hope that next year we will be able to have even more of a fan base in New Plymouth, Idaho. I would like to extend a personal invitation to all those surrounding communities, to join New Plymouth in taking part in a new tradition in supporting your Snake River Sabercats. As far as this past Saturday’s game, with the Vipers of Davis, Utah, we did what we could with the personnel that we had. As you all know, we have slowly been depleting in numbers. And it has really taken its toll on my players. For the last 4 games, I have anywhere from 14-18 players take part in our games. Well, this last Saturday was no different, except we ended up traveling to Utah with a mere 14 players. We had 2 of those players play receiver, which they were not used to. And our starting fullback, ended up starting at QB, since our first string Quarterback didn’t make the trip with us. The guys really made an effort to play with all their heart. They did what I have asked them to all season, and that was give me 100% during the game. They did that as well. For the past 5 weeks, they have had no problem proving to me, their fans, their family and the rest of the Rocky Mountain Football League, that it isn’t about winning or losing....it is all about respect and pride. These guys have surely earned the respect from the league, and most of all from me, their head coach. Even though we came back from Utah, being handed an ugly defeat, we came back with our heads held high. I am in no way disappointed in their performance at all. Not from the game on Saturday, or even the past 5 weeks. How can you be? They have given it their all, and I mean ALL. What more can you ask for? For the past 5 weeks we have really come together as a team. We have discovered a lot about each other, as individuals and as a team. And the most important factor that I have noticed as a coach is this: That no matter who we play, where we play, or even the outcome of our play...we play together...win, lose or draw. Right now I have a core of players that consists of 17 players that have committed to returning next year. I will take this core of 17 and match them against any 17 in the league any day, and we will prevail. With these 17, and the ones that will be coming on next year, we should have a pretty good size squad to start the 2007 season. Scattered T-Storms 75°/53° 40 % Mostly Sunny 82°/54° 20 % Sat., Jun 17 [] Sunny 84°/52° 20 % As far as the season of 2006? We didn’t really improve on our win-loss record during the regular season. However, we were able to defeat the Idaho Matadors, a team that went AAA this year. a team that destroyed us twice last year. So we were able to attain some revenge, if I dare say so. We did have a rough season...losing 6 of our top players from both sides of the ball. But I will not elaborate on this as this is old news....water under the bridge, you can say. What I will say is this....that because of that event....my team has been able to find themselves and discover where the true commitment lies amongst the remaining players. And I promise this...they will use this knowledge to carry it into next season. You will all see a much-improved team next year. We will be more physical, more dedicated, more in numbers, and more committed than even before. In closing, as the Head Coach of the Sabercats, I would like to thank the town of New Plymouth, Idaho, for the support they gave us during this season. I would especially like to thank Scott Moscrip for giving us the opportunity to continue to be a part of history in this small town. I would also like to thank him for allowing me to fulfill a lifelong dream in doing this these past 2 years, and I look forward to being a part of this great organization for many years to come.

It has been such an honor to be a part of your lives. You all have taught me a great deal, not just about the game of football, but also about the game of life. It will be my honor and privilege to take the core of players that I have left, and do my best to turn them into Champions for next year. I would also like to thank my Defensive Coordinator and close friend, Robbie.....you know who you are. Thanks, man...for everything. I really couldn’t have done it alone this year. You have been there all the time, and I look forward to having you by my side next year. And with you and me working hand in hand....we will turn this team around, and in doing so...we will turn a lot of heads in the RMFL. That’s all from the Coach’s Corner....till next season...or sooner, maybe. GO SABERCATS!!! Kathleen Farrell, D.O.

There is no charge for admission, though donations are accepted gladly. Otherwise, funding comes from Payette County and occasional grants. The museum’s collection includes Native American artifacts and memorabilia from the Civil War, World War II & II, and beyond. The photo collection includes photos of Payette, Fruitland, and New Plymouth, all circa 1910, as well as photos of the first New Plymouth businessman and the Tuttle Blacksmith shop. Payette County once had two additional towns --French, near Willow Creek, and Crystal, near the Payette/Washington county border, where only a fruitstand remains. Ann is eager to find any material relating to those towns. Her other goals include setting up a research center, and area residents are encouraged to share anything historical they turn up in their personal genealogical searches – or grandma’s attic! An interesting series of windowed displays downstairs showcases “the good old days,” from a truly terrifying dental office to a retail store and telephone company. But Ann takes special pride in the 1861 bronze Confederate Civil War cannon, a “6-pounder,” that shot 6-pound projectiles. It is one of the rarest surviving Civil War cannon, the only known surviving cannon from A.M. Paxton & Co. of Vicksburg, Mississippi. The cannon was purchased for Payette by the Grand Army of the Republic organization in 1912-15 and displayed in Central Park until it was moved into the museum. Funds are now being raised to build an appropriate carriage for the heavy cannon, which will cost more than $10,000. Checks for that effort can be made payable to “ PCHS Cannon Fund” and mailed to PCHS, PO Box 696, Payette, ID 83661. This year the museum joined forces with the Idaho Hall of Fame in honoring the “Payette County Achievers, ” three-fourths of whom also belong to the Idaho Hall of Fame. The special stage set up for that event remains now as a separate display Regular events at the museum include the annual visit from Santa Claus, when the jolly fellow heads right to the museum after he turns on the holiday lights downtown. Children and their families are invited to join him there to warm up and enjoy refreshments, surrounded by antique toys. The building, which can seat 50 for dinner, has also hosted gatherings for professional groups, family reunions, and a wedding. Ann is happy to conduct tours for groups or schools. In fact, 300 Payette children FOXTROT NEW PLYMOUTH NEWS The Payette County Museum occupies the former Methodist Episcopal Church across from Central Park in Payette. had visited there in the last two weeks of the school year.

BY BILL AMEND ISSUE 125 WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14, 2006 IDAHO FISH & GAME NEWS Salmon Anglers Should Read Regulations As salmon fishing fever hits the Clearwater Region, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game encourages anglers to read the 2006 fishing regulations before casting a line. “A few salmon anglers are getting caught up in the excitement, and they’re simply not reading the regulations,” said Larry Barrett, senior fisheries technician at Fish and Game. “To stay out of trouble, always know before you go.” The 2006 Spring Chinook Salmon Season and Rules pamphlet is available at all license vendors and Fish and Game offices. The main stem Clearwater, the North Fork Clearwater, the South Fork Clearwater, and the Little Salmon rivers are open only from Friday through Monday each week until further notice or until July 31, whichever comes first. The upper Snake River in Hells Canyon and the Lower Salmon also are open Friday through Monday but the Snake closes June 19 and the Lower Salmon closes June 26. These seasons may also be closed early if conditions warrant. Fishing hours are a half hour before sunrise to one hour after sunset local time. Anglers are allowed to take one fish per day, have three in possession, and take a total of 10 for the entire season. Only hatchery fish with a clipped adipose fin may be kept. Anglers are also required to use barbless hooks, or to bend the barb down to the shank on a single, double or treble hook. You must also have a salmon permit, available at vendors statewide. Moose Permits Still Available The Idaho Department of Fish and Game has 19 left- GARFIELD over moose controlled hunt permits. The application period for leftover moose hunts runs from June 15 through 25. Any permits left over from this drawing will be available first–come first–served beginning July 10. Interested hunters can apply at all license vendors and Fish and Game offices, online, or by calling 800–824–3729 or 800–554–8685. There are 16 permits for antlered moose hunts in north central Idaho with seasons running from August 30 through November 23 and three permits for an antlerless hunt in eastern Idaho from October 15 through November 23.

After a long winter of hunting and foraging, a fresh crop of pups emerges from dens and take their first look at the world around them. A wolf pack is a family group comprised of an alpha male, alpha female and their offspring. The alpha pair leads the pack and mates once a year in mid-February. The alpha female digs a den and gives birth to three to four pups in mid-April. Several weeks after pups are born, they move out of the den to ‘rendezvous sites’ which are usually wet meadows or lodgepole pine thickets close to water and cover. Rendezvous sites are safe havens where pups are reared until they are large enough to travel and hunt with the pack. Upon a successful hunt, adult pack members BY JIM DAVIS gorge themselves with up to thirty pounds of meat, travel back to the rendezvous site, and regurgitate a meal of meat for the pups. In late summer, pups begin to grow big enough to travel with more experienced members of the pack and explore their territory. A territory is a wolf pack’s exclusive area which they defend from other wolves. Wolves let other wolves know a territory is occupied by howling and scent marking (defecating and urinating). If other wolves enter an occupied territory, resident wolves may attack and often kill the intruder(s). Wolves dislike domestic dogs as well. If you see wolf sign while traveling in the woods, it would be wise to keep your dog leashed or on heel. As pups continue to grow, pack food demands increase, and conflicts with livestock increase in late summer. In recent years, wolves have been implicated in about 25 cattle and 200 sheep depredations annually throughout the state. When the snow begins to fly, wolf pups are nearly full grown and can travel actively with the pack. Wolf conflicts with livestock decrease as stock are moved to lower elevation areas and elk – a wolf’s main prey item – become easier to hunt due to deep snow. In Idaho, elk comprise about 77 percent of a wolf’s diet. Last year, biologists counted 59 wolf packs in Idaho and estimated the wolf population at between 500 and 600 animals. Currently, biologists are busy counting this year’s new crop of wolf pups. You can help monitor Idaho’s wolf population; if you see a wolf or hear wolves howling, note the details and then take a moment to submit a report on-line at Fish and Game’s website: http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/ cms/wildlife/wolves/.

If you thirst, it may mean you are dehydrated. If your urine is dark brown, you are already dehydrated. You must seek medical attention if you show other signs and symptoms of dehydration like dizziness, tiredness or syncope. When the heat comes, one needs to treat the body for heat just like one would treat their car for heat, with much more care and interest. By Jim Callis, MPAS, PA-C DEHYDRATION This is a repeat of a previously published article. We have noticed an increase in dehydrated individuals, and like to remind everyone to increase your fluid intake as the weather becomes hotter to compensate for the heat. If you are recently feeling lightheaded and dizzy, join the club. Like many Americans, many locals are experiencing a little dehydration right now. Some have gotten worn down, tired, and some have even had what we medical geeks call ‘syncope’ (seen-co-pe), or passing out and losing consciousness. How does this happen? How can one not realize they are not drinking enough? Because it is not so nearly as simple as just simple water replacement. Did you know that you can make your dehydration worse by simply consuming water? Yep, we call it “hyponatremic hypervolemia,” which means in simple terms, that a person drank water and didn’t replenish other import moieties (particles) that are lost in sweating. When we are in the heat and are sweating, we lose things that are just as important to us as water, mainly potassium and sodium and, to some degree, chloride. Don’t be intimidated, it’s not really a hard concept. When one sweats, there is a loss of water and other substances to help keep one cool. Important factors that play into dehydration include how hot it is, how exposed one is to the heat, how much one is sweating, and how much and what kind of fluids one is replenishing. If you are like most Americans, you work out side in the heat, you usually wear short sleeves and no hat and seldom drink water. You had a cup of coffee this morning, no breakfast and are trying to stay hydrated by drinking Mountain Dew. Don’t be surprised that, if this describes or nearly describes you, you are probably dehydrated. If you don’t get on top of it, you will be in my clinic wondering why you are dizzy, tired or worse, Here is what you need to do to keep from becoming dehydrated: The trigger for thirst is a late sign that you are dehydrated; you should keep hydrated before you are thirsty. When in the heat, keep your skin covered with loose fitting clothes. When I was in the military, there came a time in the day when we would all be given an order to roll down our long sleeves. It was literally against the law to wear short sleeves. The more skin that is exposed to the heat and direct sun, the more moisture you are going to lose. Wear a hat, too, for the same concept. Second, drink fluids that contain the above listed electrolytes. These very important moieties are an important part of life. Drink water, sure, but also do not forget to replenish these important things, especially if you are doing work outside and sweating. If you are a patient of mine, you will hear me suggest drinking a sports drink, chicken broth or something similar. Like I mentioned earlier, replacing only water is not sufficient. Caffeine increases dehydration, so drinking coffee and soda pop only makes the situation worse. The loss of moieties in our cells due to dehydration can cause serious problems, especially since all of our nerve conduction relies on the flow of sodium particles across their cell membrane. Simple replacement of water will not fill all the functional needs of these cells. When you drink, especially if you are dehydrated, you must also replace sodium and potassium. I have been seeing several people every day lately who come in, and despite drinking what they think is a lot of water (usually up to 32oz of pop/beer/ water or a combination), they feel bad. We give them an IV of saline water and they start perking up. Saline water is simply salt water with ph balanced for our body. Good stuff. You don’t have to get to that point. Save yourself some money and stay hydrated. I just want to encourage all of you to drink water and grab lots of Gatorade or Power Aid (or similar), eat small portioned meals often and keep yourself covered. Stop drinking pop. Should you still become dehydrated, please see your medical provider immediately. TALES OF OLD NEW PLYMOUTH By Dave Goldsmith I recently read in the New Plymouth News some comments by the sheriff about city ordinances on the keeping of livestock and licensing of dogs. Things are very different now from what they were 75 years ago. It seemed to me that almost everyone in town had a cow back in those long-ago days. That may have been true only of those who had lots on the outer boulevard, but my dad rented a pasture on the inner boulevard, where he kept our cow during the summer. I don’t know if you could buy bottled milk at the grocery store, but we bought milk from a neighbor when our cow was dry. At present, dogs must be licensed and either fenced in or kept on a leash. In those long-ago days, no one ever heard of a dog license and dogs were free to come and go as they wished. We always had a dog, in part because the kids needed pets, but also because my dad loved to hunt pheasants and a dog of any kind was helpful. There was quite a string of these dogs which included: Sandy, Blacky, Browny (quite original names!) and then Pat and Nick. There was quite a turnover in dogs because of old age, automobiles, and one was poisoned. Nick was the last in the series and was a stray, as were almost all of the other dogs. He was black except for a white star on his chest and was the best hunting dog, since he was of setter ancestry and had hunting instincts. He hunted in the fields behind our house and now and then brought home a pheasant that he had caught and killed. All of our dogs were kept outside, even during the coldest weather, and found their own sleeping quarters under the porch or out in a shed. Nick made himself the 12 NEW PLYMOUTH NEWS exception to this rule. Some way he found out that he could open a back door of the family car by putting his feet up above the door handle and then bringing them down. That way he had a warm, soft bed out of the weather in the back seat of the car. After several years, the folks bought a new car. The next morning, Nick was found sleeping on the back seat, and my mother severely chastised him. (I heard that a broom was involved.) Nick decided that other sleeping quarters would be desirable. Somewhere along the line, Nick found out that grocery stores had meat. He made a round of the stores each morning. He would sit at the front door until someone went in or out and then he would sneak in and go back to the meat counter. There he would sit and drool great amounts of liquid until someone would give him a piece of meat or a bone. Then he would leave and go on to the other store, where he would go through the same procedure. This went on for some time until the family moved to a small acreage about a mile south of town on Highway 30. The first morning they were out there, Nick went to town to make his usual rounds. Mother was afraid he would be run over on the highway, so she tied him up the next few days. After about the third day, she didn’t tie him up, but he didn’t go to town again. Nick must have been a lover and not a fighter. I can’t remember that he was ever in a fight with another dog. However, when he finally died at a ripe old age, about half of the dogs in New Plymouth were black. Nick was treated royally in his declining years. He was allowed to loll around inside the house during the day and even had his own bed in the cellar where he slept at night. The old saying about leading a dog’s life really didn’t apply to Nick.

They are to be congratulated on their efforts today and every day as they advance the war against terrorism overseas so it does not return to American shores. “This day is made even more significant by the fact that the Iraqi government today put in place new ministers for three departments—defense, interior, and national security. The new government is taking root and flourishing at the same time Iraq’s most notorious terrorist is dead. “We are seeing Iraqis take control of their government, their defense, and their freedom. It is a day to give thanks for the brave efforts of our troops fighting terrorism throughout the world. While the terror campaign against Iraq, the United States, and the rest of the world has not ended, we should recognize all those who have struggled mightily to help realize today’s important developments.” Crapo visited Iraq and Jordan in June 2005 and met with Iraq officials and U.S. and coalition forces deployed to the region.

He’s both an educator and parent-the principal of Pleasant Ridge Middle Scholl in Blue Valley School District in Johnson County, Kansas, and the father of three grown daughters. He has served on the board of the National Middle School Association and, for the past decade, as a member of the U.S. Department of Education’s Blue Ribbon Schools Panel. He has three suggestions for engaging your child in conversation. Time is important. Gill can recall a time before fast food restaurants and working parents when there was time to be with children and talk with them. “It is tempting, after a week on the road, to spend a Saturday and even a Sunday on the golf course, “ he acknowledges, “but start a habit of spending some constructive minutes, some quality time with your child when you are home. Turn off television. “There’s a National TV-Turnoff Week in April every year. It should happen a lot more often. You must make time to do something important with your child,” says Gill. Statistics compiled by the TV Turnoff Network (http://ww.tvturnoff.org/Factsand figPage.htm) indicated that 10 hours per week of TV watching is shown to negatively affect academic achievement. Yet the average American youth spends 900 hours a year in school and watches 1,500 hour of television a year. Start talking now. “If a family hasn’t spent time talking together, it can be awkward to start and can be seen by young people as a ‘phony deal,’ by start anyway,” Gill recommends. “Begin by talking about things that are important to the young person – something interesting they’ve done or participated in or something that happened at school. That can lead into a discussion of more important things in life, like a discussion about the future. “Time with your children flies so fast that you have to spend it wisely,” he says.

For those friends who were unable to attend - -this is what I wrote for him, his daughters and his sister. There is an old love song entitled “Little Things Mean a Lot” and it’s true. The little things in life are the most important to remember. Not what he owned or how fancy a car he drove. It’s the small things like the impish grin on a child’s face as he runs through the lawn sprinklers. Grownups can’t help but laugh at those antics. Jeff and I did. It’s the shared moment of solemn observation of a 7-inch tall screech owl perched on a low limb of my cedar tree, its yellow eyes cautiously peering at Jeff and me. We held our breath and remained totally still; silent as the three of us watched one another carefully. We knew it couldn’t see very well in daylight and didn’t want to startle it into frantic flight. Finally we both just went inside and left it alone. It is the plastic bag of asparagus every spring for the past seven years we have been Jeff’s neighbor. It is a fish, occasionally, for my frying pan. It is an old pioneer or Indian washing stone added to my rock garden for safe-keeping for Jeff’s friend. It is his scampering up a ladder with his buddy to keep my 85year-old husband from making a dangerous climb to our roof to install the cupolas. It is a gentle rough-housing of our blind dachshund as he struggles with a brain tumor that has affected his movements. It is the merry tail that starts wagging before Jeff even gets out of his truck in the afternoon. It is knowing there’s someone who would come in a minute if I needed him in a hurry in the middle of the night. Just little things that let us know he valued us as friends and neighbors. None of us knows for certain, of course, what lies beyond this life. For Jeff, I would hope that he is perhaps in an enchanted forest quietly admiring a proud, magnificent buck with a splendid rack, or maybe he’s having a heart-to -heart conversation with a bear or on a thrilling flight with a soaring eagle. I would hope for Jeff that he could hear a roaring waterfall and know the pool below would surely be full of flashing fish. I would hope these things for Jeff, my neighbor, my friend. Whether you helped Jeff or Jeff helped you, he has passed through our lives and left an indelible mark.

New Life in Home Ministry “Nothing but our bare hands...” A guest opinion submitted by Idaho Senator Mike Crapo “In order to save anything at all, we had to begin firing the buildings on the outskirts of the town, and then the terrible work of forcing the backfire towards the big blaze began. I will never forget the sight. An impassable wall of fire was eating its way down the hillside. Our backfire, which had assumed huge proportions, was creeping up towards it. In exactly four and one-half minutes after we started our fire, the two met. Never have I seen anything like it -- plunging at each other like two living animals, the two met with a roar that must have been heard miles away. The rest of the world didn’t know what we were going through. It couldn’t, and that was the terrible part of it. We might have been the only men in the world for all it mattered. Alone, we were left with nothing but our bare hands and the help of our Creator to bring us out alive.” --From Thaddeus Roe’s description of the flames he faced in the fight to save Avery, Idaho. Roe was part of the rescue team sent to Storm Creek to bring out the bodies of 29 men who stood their ground, rather than flee the raging fire. These words were written about one of the most devastating fires in U.S. history, the 1910 fire. Between August 20 and 23, this horrific inferno burned over three million acres in northern Idaho and western Montana. Eight billion board feet of timber went up in flames, along with homes and, most tragically, 78 firefighters, some of whom lie today in unmarked graves in St. Maries. Experts conclude that the 80 mph winds blowing those two days and nights were unique, and complicating factors of fuel load, primitive fire-fighting practices and lack of access to much of the land contributed to this monstrosity of a fire. However, today other factors make wildland fire safety just as important: excessive accumulation of plant undergrowth and other ground fuels, hot, dry weather conditions, increased human use of wilderness and wildland areas, and increased wildland/urban interface. As we prepare for another Idaho summer of outdoor recreation almost 100 years later, we must heed lessons learned about wildfire danger. The familiar Forest Service campaign, “Only You Can Prevent Wildfires,” offers these tips: •Don’t park vehicles on dry grass. •If off-road vehicle use is allowed, internal combustion equipment requires a spark arrester. •Know your county’s outdoor burning regulations. •At the first sign of wildfire, leave the area immediately by established trails or roads. Contact a Ranger as soon as possible. If the escape route is blocked, go to the nearest lake or stream. •Leave campsites as natural as possible; travel on trails and other durable surfaces. Inspect your site upon leaving.•Never take any type of fireworks on public lands. •Keep stoves, lanterns and heaters away from combustibles. •Store flammable liquid containers in a safe place. •Never use stoves, lanterns and heaters inside a tent. Thoroughly plan your trip. Know the area; develop a checklist; be aware of fire or travel restrictions; know the weather forecast; and select your campsite wisely. Whether it’s a day hike, a week-long backcountry horse trip, or something in between, you need to be well-informed and prepared for emergencies. Preparation and planning go a long way toward preventing catastrophes. Although the terrible 1910 fire was what might be called a rare “perfect storm,” those of us who recreate and work in our great outdoors should do so wisely and responsibly.
