Fires Across South Central Idaho Four major fires are burn-ing across the mountains of Elmore, Camas, and Blaine counties. All started by light-ning, these fires consumed about 300,000 acres so far. Just north of Fairfield, the McCan fire is at 24,000 acres and is 50% contained. This fire is not expected to increase in size. Two homes have been lost to this fire. The Beaver Creek fire, lo-cated twenty mile northeast of Fairfield, is at 32,000 acres an only 10% contained due to rough terrain. Firefight-ers have been concentrating on the southern and west-ern boarders of this fire. The northern and western board-ers are expected to expand and weather forecasts for the

weekend are not favorable to attacking those areas safely. The majority of the smoke in our area is coming from the Elk fire in Elmore county. Lo-cated west of Anderson Ranch Reservoir, this fire is well over 100,000 acres. Pine and Featherville are in the pro-cess of being evacuated, but the big concern is that winds will cause the fire to jump the South Fork of the Boise River between those two towns. If that happens, it could easily double in size. Between the Elk Fire and the Pony fire (south and west of Prairie) about 50 structures have been burned. Currently, the Elk fire is the number one fire in the nation. It is also a dangerous fire because of

how fast it is burning (nearly 50,000 acres in one day). Fire personnel at the com-munity meeting on Tuesday evening said their number one priority is to protect life and property. This can interfere with trying to control these fires when people do not evacuate when they are told to do so. Earlier this week, a couple of fire crews and several law enforcement officials had to abandon their assigned tasks to rescue a house full of peo-ple who had not evacuated. This was not only dangerous for the people involved, it cost valuable time to the effort of controlling the fire. Highway 20 is safe to trav-el, but please stay out of the backcountry.

What Do New Investors Really Need To Know? If you’re starting out as an investor, you might be feeling overwhelmed. After all, it seems like there’s just so much to know. How can you get enough of a handle on basic investment concepts so that you’re comfortable in making well-informed choices? You can get a good grip on the investment process by becoming familiar with a few basic concepts.• Risk versus Reward: All investments carry some type of risk: Stocks and bonds can decline in value, while investments such as CDs can lose purchasing power over time. One important thing to keep in mind is that, generally, the greater the poten-tial reward, the higher the risk.• Setting Goals: As an investor, you need to set goals for your investment portfolio, such as providing resources for retirement or helping pay for your children’s college educations.• Knowing your own Investment Personality: Everyone has different in-vestment personalities — some people can accept more risk in the hopes of greater rewards, while others are not comfortable with risk at all. It’s essential that you know your investment personality when you begin investing, and through-out your years as an investor.• Investing is a Long-term Process: It generally takes decades of patience, perseverance and good decisions for investors to accumulate the substantial financial resources they’ll need for their long-tem goals.

Orville A. Neal Orville A. Neal, 82, a resident of Benton City, Washington, died Monday, August 5, 2013 at the North Idaho Advanced Trauma Hospital. Orville was born on March 30, 1931 in Sheridan, Wyoming, the son of Orville and Evelyn Neal. He was raised and educated in Post Falls, Idaho. He married Laurel Loveless on June 30, 1951 in Post Falls, Idaho. After they were married they moved to Missouri, where they farmed for several years. They were dairy peo-ple for much of that time. These were also the years of the births of all four of their children. He served his country with the U.S. Army during the Korean War. He was a man of various skills. He drove a gas truck for a time, and he remodeled his parents’ house. He and his family moved back to Idaho in 1971, when he purchased a dairy to the north of Gooding. In 1981 he got itchy feet and left to work on a dairy in Il-linois, and then another in Washington. Finally, after the death of his son, Michael, in 1985, he settled down in Benton City, where he worked for a time as a carpenter. He started his own carpentry business in 1998 with his son, Scott, until a car accident left him paralyzed in 1999. Orville was a friendly and gregarious man. No matter where he was, he made friends. Especially in his later years, he was a very devout Christian. He was baptized into the Nazarene Church in the recent years and was a humble follower of Christ. He loved Laurel exceptionally, and he was as present and loving a father as a working man could be. He inspired family and friends alike for his strength and fidelity in faith and marriage. He taught how to live and be useful by example, and he was a good teacher. He is survived by: his wife, Laurel of Benton City, Wash.; two sons, Andy (Satin) Neal of Nevada and Scott Neal of Benton City, Wash.; one daughter, Brenda (Doug) Kerner of Gooding, Idaho; one sister, Noralee Virtue of Spokane, Wash.; Grandchildren, Kris Bellamy, Jennifer Bellamy Beck, Lena McKown, Trece Brown, Jesse Neal, and Lucas Kerner; and two great grandchildren, Zane McKown and Gus Neal.

National Farmers Market WeekVisit Your Local Farmers Market

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced that 8,144 farmers markets are now listed in USDA’s National Farmers Market Directory, up from about 5,000 in 2008. The Direc-tory, voluntarily updated by farmers market managers, state departments of agriculture, marketing associations, and oth-ers, is published online at farmersmarkets.usda.gov. This year, the Directory has been upgraded to include a new Application Programming Interface (API) that improves customer access to farmers market data. “Farmers markets are an important public face for agricul-ture and a critical part of our nation’s food system,” said Sec-retary Tom Vilsack. “They provide benefits not only to the farmers looking for important income opportunities, but also help fill a growing consumer demand for fresh, healthy foods. In recent years, USDA has stepped up efforts to support local and regional marketing opportunities for producers, includ-ing a modernized Farmer’s Market Directory to help connect farmers, consumers, communities, and businesses around the country.” USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) Adminis-trator Anne Alonzo spoke at Saturday’s farmers market cele-bration at Washington, D.C.’s Columbia Heights Marketplace announcing the newly updated National Farmers Market Di-rectory information. “Due to consumer demand for local food we are seeing an increase in the diversity of market offerings, and more partici-pation from small businesses and farms,” Agricultural Market-ing Service Administrator Anne Alonzo said. “This year we are focusing on the sustainability and maturity of farmers mar-kets- keeping new and old markets thriving and improving. Farmers markets around the country continue to be popular social events for families and communities.” Get out and support all your local Farmers Markets.

The Importance ofWildfire Funding

By Congressman Mike Simpson

Boise, ID – “In Idaho, we know the impacts of catastroph-ic wildfires firsthand. During fire season, many of us are im-pacted indirectly, and some have felt the heat of the flames as they have fought to protect their homes and livelihoods. As a lifelong Idahoan, I have seen where catastrophic fires have scorched the land so badly that nothing will grow. That’s why, as Chairman of the House Interior and Environment Appropri-ations Subcommittee, it’s easy for me to understand the value of providing land managers and firefighters with the resources they need to manage and put out fires. “In the FY14 Interior and Environment Appropriations bill, I have ensured that fire suppression is fully funded at the 10-year fire suppression average. Wildfire has a tremendous impact on the budgets of the Forest Service and the BLM—for the Forest Service, wildfire-related costs make up more than half of the agency’s budget. Therefore, in a budget environment where we have had to cut or eliminate “good to do” and even “need to do” priorities in order to address critical human health and public safety priorities, wildfire funding quickly rises to the top of the list. “My bill also includes funding for the Forest Service to ac-quire two new next generation heavy air tankers to replace its aging and increasingly obsolete fleet. Some of the air tankers used by the Forest Service are Korean War era planes, and the agency has been forced to ground a number of aircraft because of safety concerns. This bill takes the first steps to build a fire fighting fleet for the future. “While I have seen the destructive impacts of catastrophic fires, I’ve also seen where proactively removing hazardous fuels from an area has made the difference between relatively minor damage to resources and property and complete destruction. Recognizing the value and cost effectiveness of preventing wildfires versus fighting them, my bill increases funding for haz-ardous fuels removal by $200 million for the Forest Service and $87 million for DOI. Failing to adequately fund the hazardous fuels account would virtually guarantee that the cost of wildfire suppression will continue to rise in the future. This bill will help us to get ahead of the problem as much as possible. “Unfortunately, providing adequate funding for hazardous fuels removal cannot reduce the risk of catastrophic fire if that money never makes it to the ground. When fire costs exceed the agency’s fire budget, the agency is forced to borrow from hazardous fuels reduction and other accounts to pay for fire suppression. Robbing these accounts means that the Forest

Service has fewer resources available for good forest manage-ment, and so fires get worse and wildfire suppression costs end up devouring the agency’s budget. “While we do our best to predict the coming fire season and budget accordingly, we never know how bad a fire season will be until it is over. During last year’s severe fire season, firefight-ing costs were higher than anticipated and the Forest Service had to borrow a great deal of funding from other non-fire ac-counts after running out of wildfire suppression funding. My bill tries to get ahead of this problem by providing an additional $600 million in fire suppression funding in an effort to address fire-borrowing. “These provisions have real impact on Idaho, and I’m disap-pointed that this bill was not voted out of Committee before the end of last month. I am hopeful that Congress will act quickly in order to ensure that land management agencies have the re-sources they need for fighting and preventing catastrophic wild-fires this year.”

I missed last week to having a “Cup of Tee” in the paper. I didn’t miss the 100˚

weather because I was right in the middle of it. More so, I missed some ice tea.

I was absent because I was hauling wheat to its shipping desti-nation. I was hauling the grain in a ten wheel dump hoist truck. The doors that accommodate hauling silage corn were sealed shut to prevent leakage. All I had was 12” square door to un-load the wheat. The building I was delivering in was about three stories tall, tin roofed, and full of grain. With the existing 100˚ weather and the wheat putting off its own heat, things were warm. To add extra heat I had to hand unload the remainder that wouldn’t go through the 12” opening. As I looked at the wheat in the barn type shed, I wondered how much wheat it took to make a loaf of bread. The answer I was told was 60 loaves of bread to the bushel. A bushel weighs 60 pounds. So, if my math serves me right, about a pound of grain per loaf of bread (which is a pound). Somehow the mathematics doesn’t seem to jive to me. You start with pound of material, process it, and still end up with a pound? The loads of grain I would deliver would be about 25,000 pounds. That is a lot of bread with my truck loads alone, not counting all the other wheat 30 feet high. In our State of Idaho, we are diverse agricultural state with lots of food products. Why are we not at the top of the list as far as hunger-less families? Our state should lead with fewer hungry families. Once again, the math doesn’t work very well. Maybe I’m not very good with math, but I think some basics were ob-tained during my school years. Back to the bread, to get a pound from a pound, perhaps the “fillers” are the basis in which bread is weighed. Long years ago, bread and gasoline stayed close to the same price. Gasoline is double the price of bread with wheat staying the same ol’ pur-chase price year after year. Maybe our government is giving us the “filler” and not the real scoop. At the Boston Tea Party the British were not invited to throw the tea overboard into the harbor to protest unfair tax “fillers.” Maybe we need to have a bread party... Yeah, a Bread Party! This time we should invite our leaders to join us. Instead of bread we could serve the “filler” on mussel shells or something similar. We the people could say, “but that is the way it is.” Maybe it won’t all be about the math, whereas we are all shorted. Maybe we need a little English too. Pound for pound, this is my “Cup of Tee” on the short side.

It’s an under-statement when we say that education is a challenging profes-sion in today’s world. Increased performance demands and low funding are impacting all aspects of our educational system. Speaking of funding, we passed a supplemental levy last spring for the purchase of student supplies, equipment and to contin-ue our current programs. However, we still have the responsi-bility of meeting our facility needs, as well as properly educat-ing children. On August 27thst we will be asking patrons and staff to support a Ten Year Plant Facility Levy in the amount of $20,000 per year.

Reasons for asking for levy approval are:Prior to the end of FY 2009, CCSD #121 received approximately $25,500 in Lottery and School Building Maintenance money each year from the state.In the four years after 2009 the amount of money we received outside of basic operations to address building needs has been a total of 0 dollars.This year lottery money has been added back to the state appropriation and the amount we will receive is $2700. Obviously these numbers are far short of the amount required to address our building and grounds needs. In fact, our needs are growing each year as our buildings continue to age.Plant facility money can only be used for “projects” that exceed $5000 and not for salaries. In other words, this money will be used only for facil-ity repairs and improvements.The $20,000 requested in the Plant Facilities Levy is the amount we saved each year by refinancing our Building Bonds. In effect the bond levy refinance will offset our total taxing request and will result in NO tax increase.This year legislators approved a personal property tax shift. Included in that statute was a provision that obligates the state to pay the personal property tax portion for any school election approved prior to November 2013. The state obligation portion of the $20,000 is $1400 each year or $14000 over the next ten years. To put it another way; local patrons would be paying $18,600 rather than the full $20,000.

Thank you for your continued support. If you have any ques-tions concerning the Plant Facility Levy or the operation of our school district feel free to drop by the district office or call me at 208-358-1053. I am more than willing to meet with any orga-nization, individual, or group at your convenience.

For the Camas County School District Board of TrusteesJim Cobble, Superintendent

A Good American by Alex George I have to tell you straight out that I got a big kick out of this tale of the immigrant Meisenheimer family. From Hannover (Germany, I think) with two outsized take-me-as-I-am lovers to the Knick Knack bar in Missouri, this family is examined with its pants down, so to speak. But it’s done with the utmost tenderness and charm by the narrator, a grandson who yearns to be a writer and realizes his best story is his family’s journey to become good Americans. This writer is effortlessly funny while he dishes up consid-erable knowledge about opera, chess, and short order cooking and he gently reminds us that we are living in history, our lives are shaped by the actions of governments and neighbors. And who couldn’t love Mr. Tim, the sunbathing raccoon? No one! Read this book – it’s adorable.
