Dale L. Miles Dale Miles 80, of Shoshone Idaho, passed away peacefully on March 14, 2015. He was born on November 12, 1934 in Armel, Colorado to James P. and Mable L. Miles. During his childhood, he lived in Denver, Norwood then Montrose where he lived from 2nd grade through high school, graduating from Montrose High School in 1953. As a teen, he worked at the Fox Theater in Montrose, in 1958 he joined the Army, serving Active Duty in Ger-many through 1959, then serving Reserve Duty in Wash-ington State, where he was honorably discharged in 1963. He married in 1963 and his daughter Tammy was born in 1964. He divorced and moved to Lewiston, Idaho in 1975 and married in 1976. He then moved to Buhl, Idaho and began working for Sears in Twin Falls, Idaho in 1979. In 1992, his granddaughter Jessica was welcomed with his contagious smile, he was so proud to be a Grandpa. In 1993, he returned to Montrose for his 40th class reunion where he was reunited with high school friend, Vivian Hamilton. They discovered he lived in Buhl, she in Sho-shone; they were married later that year and resided in Shoshone from 1993 to 1996, moving back to Colorado until 2004, returning to Shoshone where they resided until they passed away. Dale had strong faith in God and was a dedicated hus-band and father. He loved to travel, visiting his daughter and granddaughter in Washington, family in Montrose, the Miles Family Reunions in Laughlin, the Oregon coast at Seaside, spending time fishing with his brothers and watch-ing his wife gather seashells, he also loved going to County Fairs. One of the highlights of his life was in 2013 when he and Vivian were selected as Lincoln County Fair and Rodeo Grand Marshalls. His support of the local youth aca-demics and athletic programs has been appreciated by all. Dale is survived by his Daughter Tammy Prescott, Grand-daughter Jessica Bradley, Stepchildren; Emery, Jace, Sher-yl, Terry and Janet Hampton, Barbara and Dan Blackford, Bob Benjamin, Kathy Benjamin; 10 step grandchildren; 15 step-great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and neph-ews who reside across the US and Alaska.

Preston B. Hughes Preston B. Hughes, 88, Wendell, died in the early hours of March 17, 2015 peacefully at his home. His wife of 65 years, Bertha Louise Lewton “Bubbles” Hughes, died Dec. 28, 2011. They will be inturred togeth-er in the Wendell Cemetery. Dad was born Nov. 24, 1926 in Pittsburg, Ky. to Bal-lard P. and Mary Hughes. At a young age he traveled with his family to Buhl. Even at a young age Dad was a hard worker. He made and sold popcorn for the movies and earned a nickel a bag. He also delivered milk and did a myriad of odd jobs. He attended school in Buhl and joined the Navy nine days before he turned 18. He served in the Asiatic Pacific Area Campaign as a fireman first class on the LST-487, which was a landing soldier transport, but Dad called it a “large stationary target.” Dad worked in the engine room and also drove small transports, moving soldiers from the ship to land, many times while under fire. Dad’s ship landed in To-kyo soon after the first atomic bomb was dropped. He was honorably discharged in April 1946. He returned to Buhl and met our mother, and they were mar-ried Nov. 29, 1946 in Elko, Nevada. They moved to Boise and Dad attended the Southern Idaho Junior College and gradu-ated from the mechanic program. The couple moved to Burley where Dad worked for a dealership. Then returned to Buhl, and started a service station in Twin Falls. In 1961 Dad went to work for Ambrose Distributing driv-ing truck. In 1963 he moved the family to Wendell and be-gan working in the shop and eventually on the farms owned by Ambrose. Dad retired in 1996 at the age of 70. Dad was known in Wendell as being able to fix anything mechani-cal. He enjoyed working on cars, trucks of all sizes and even sprinkler systems and farm tractors. As his health declined, he and his favorite son-in-law, James Jackson, went to coffee each morning at the Farm House, and those coffee drinkers were very special to him, even having an 88th birthday party for him and always making his day better.

Dear Editor,Is HJM006 a good idea?

Representative Steve Miller (R) District 26 recently introduced a resolution, HMJ006 calling on the FDA to adopt a voluntary, nationwide labeling system for geneti-cally engineered foods. This may seem like a good idea, but the devil is in the details. It may have a dual purpose. Starting on line 12, the resolution states “foods pro-duced with GMO ingredients are as safe as foods pro-duced without.” Really? How can food that is “round up ready” be as wholesome and non toxic as pure organic? Rep. Miller, Rep Donna Pence (D) plus the other AYE votes would have us believe a genetically engineered crop that is sprayed directly with round up - a very toxic weed killer - is as safe as organic. How naive. The resolution points out the costs associated with label-ing, some of which is true, but the real issue is HJM006 re-duces Idaho’s voters ability to place a GMO labeling initia-tive on the ballot. Monsanto, a huge producer of GE seeds and round up, spend millions fighting these initiatives. They would like to place all the eggs in one basket - Washington DC - thus making it easier for Monsanto to fight. Reminds me of the tobacco labeling wars of the 60’s. Legislation which allows States (not counties) to place these issues on the ballot and demanding the FDA to ad-dress these concerns would be better for Idaho’s con-sumer. Leave out the ridiculous language insisting a crop doused in round up is safe. JamesJKreyssig

Tee Hurd

As you may remember, a few weeks ago I said I would be in Nevada before the

week was out. I was in Nevada, but my destina-tion was Central California instead. I had to go down to pickup a truck for my place of employment. My boss had purchased three Kenworth silage/manure trucks. With ra-dio reception not at its best, I had a few moments to think about a few things, which I will share with you. First, I told our operations manager that he would have to drive the slowest truck coming back since he was lead-ing the pack. That would be sure way we would all travel in a group. Well, you know Karma is a phenomenon when voiced it usually come true. Needless to say, and unknown to all of us, he did end up with the slowest truck heading out of the gate - 55mph through California, Nevada, and Oregon makes a slow ride. I almost passed a tractor, but it turned off. An old Indian saying goes like this, “A round trip from the Golden State to the Gem State at 55mph will show two moons.” There are five states that have two lane highways posted at 70mph or higher. Those are Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Texas, and Wyoming. (Additional fact - 67% of accidents involving trucks are the fault of passenger vehicles.) While in California I kept seeing billboard signs every-where that said, “Water is dollars. Dollars are jobs. Help get water.” Maybe the population areas are trying to divert water from the farmlands. I really didn’t quite understand the billboards. I do see that California is having a shortage of water. Population usually makes things happen in their benefit because of people numbers or money. We live in a state where water is our lifeline. Take a mo-ment and understand our state’s water laws to be sure we aren’t being sold out of our water or power. Remember I said a populous has a way of getting what they want. Enough said. As I rolled up the highway, I began to wonder if my truck would be able to climb Donner Pass. It seemed it was do-ing okay on flat ground, but the little hills showed a power loss. When climbing the actual pass I suddenly became the slow truck, and I began to think about the Donner wagon train party of 1846. In April of 1846 a group of immigrants left Illinois. Then in May of the same year they left Missouri heading to Cali-fornia. Getting a late start and being filled with mishaps along the way, the Donner Party found themselves behind schedule to get over the Sierra Nevada Mountains. They were trapped near Truckee (now Donner) with an early snowfall.

Long story short, the immigrants ran out of food and were grounded. They ate leather and boiled bones until they were brittle. Finally they succumbed to cannibalism of the sick who died. The snow was twelve feet deep and the living conditions were horrible. With many attempts to get help they were on their own unable to get to help. The Donnor Party was only a mile from going over the summit but no one knew, and the snow was just as deep on the other side. A sad thing was they were at Truckee Lake and unfamiliar with catching lake trout. Only half of the origi-nal wagon train made it to California with a good share of them being rescued children. When I started to pull Donnor Pass (as I said earlier) I began to lose power and thought about the Donnor Crew. Here I was in a territory I was new to (just like the Don-ners) with my truck failing. How far is it to the top? Would I make it to the other side? Would anyone else be along in the middle of the night? Would I lose power and my crew not see where I might end? With minimal cell service would able to summon a rescue party? Would I have to cannibalize a truck to get mine to its destination? As luck had it, I made the grade at about 30mph with-out snow covered roads. Then I made it to Reno, Nevada. Later in the morning with daylight we found I had turbo hose leaking (the turbo gives the truck power to pull). Af-ter it was fixed I had all kinds of power but still following at 55mph. Once though Nevada I thought I had had exceptional-ly good luck, unlike the Donnors 168 years before me. I thought I would buy a lottery ticket. To my surprise, Ne-vada doesn’t sell lottery tickets. You can buy liquor, hu-man companionship, and about any kind of gambling you want, but NO lottery tickets. Lottery tickets are a form of gambling not accepted. Go figure that one! In addition to Nevada not having a lottery, Wyoming, Alabama, Mississippi, Alaska, Hawaii, and Utah don’t have lotteries. Alaska figures they don’t have the population. Hawaii and Utah outlaw gambling of any kind. Traveling the country, such as Waldo a few weeks ago, presents new challenges and learning processes. Who know where I will be next week or what I will learn. For now, this is my “Cup of California Roadside Tee.”

Notice is hereby given that, on February 24, 2015, the Idaho Department of Water Resources (“Department”) received two conjunctive management water delivery call letters from the Big Wood & Little Wood Water Users Association (“Association”), through counsel Jo-seph F. James, Brown & James, Attorneys at Law, 130 Fourth Avenue West, Gooding, Idaho, 83330. One letter was submitted on behalf of Association members divert-ing water from the Big Wood River below Magic Dam. The other letter was submitted on behalf of Association members diverting water from the Little Wood River be-low its confluence with Silver Creek. The Department is treating these letters as water right delivery calls pursu-ant to the Department’s Conjunctive Management Rules (IDAPA 37.03.11) and has initiated new contested case proceedings. The Big Wood River delivery call is Docket # CM-DC-2015-001. The Little Wood River delivery call is Docket # CM-DC-2015-002. The letters state that di-versions of ground water hydraulically connected to the Big Wood River and the Little Wood River are injuring senior-priority surface water rights owned by Associa-tion members identified in the letters. The Association requests administration of ground water rights under the prior appropriation doctrine. The letters may be viewed online at the following website links:
