Antelopes rumble to season-high

rushing yardageHarper High School faced an

unenviable challenge on Friday — stopping an Adrian squad that scored 76 points against Monu-ment-Dayville the previous week. The Hornets hardly slowed the host Antelopes’ assault on the scoreboard, as Adrian literally ran away with a 66-28 High Desert League victory.

The Antelopes (2-2 overall, 2-1 HDL) racked up a season-high rushing total for the second

straight week, amassing 564 yards on 53 attempts. Adrian’s two-headed Kyle monster accounted for 409 of those yards, as Kyle Osborn gained 256 yards on 19 carries and Kyle Rogers packed the pigskin 17 times and tallied 153 yards.

Osborn scored on a 25-yard run in the second quarter, and had the breakout game Antelopes coach Paul Shenk had been wait-ing for.

“He’s been running pretty ten-tative,” Shenk said. “We’ve been trying to get him to read the fi eld and turn it up and go.

“Rogers has been running well all season, and now Osborn, he

ran spectacular tonight. I couldn’t be happier.”

Rogers scored four rushing touchdowns in the contest, and added touchdowns on a kickoff return and a spectacular punt re-turn where he cut back against the grain and hurdled the last Hor-net defender on his way to the end zone.

Rogers passed the 1,000-yard mark on his fi rst carry of the sec-ond quarter on Friday. He was well on his way to the milestone last year when he suffered a neck injury in the season’s third game.

Marsing High School football coach Don Heller has been looking for a way to get his team motivated in the fi rst half of games all season, without much success. The coach admits to being somewhat stumped about his team’s early-game doldrums.

“We don’t know why. It’s been crazy,” Heller said. “I’ve always tried to get them going a little bit right before the game. Last week, we tried

to change that up a little bit to try and motivate them. I think it made it worse.”

The elusive key to fi rst-half intensity

was nowhere to be found on Saturday against Cole Valley at Meridian High School, but Marsing took control in the second half for a 33-7 2A Western

Idaho Conference victory.The Chargers, who according Heller

had just 21 players available for the game, hung tough with the Huskies, trailing just 6-0 at halftime.

“Cole Valley is a gutsy team,” Heller said. “The game started off slow as usual. We picked it up in the second half.”

Cross country team places athletes in top six at SRVHomedale High School cross country coach Nick

Schamber looked at Thursday’s Snake River Valley conference cross country meet as a chance to gauge his team’s status three weeks before the 3A District III meet at Rolling Hills Golf Course in Weiser.

“It’s a good opportunity to see where we’re at and who’s going to do well at districts,” Scham-

ber said.Despite the fact that the Trojans fi nished third

behind Weiser and Payette in a three-team race, the coach was happy with the team’s performance.

“It went pretty well,” Schamber said. “Our times are improving. The boys’ times continue to stay down. I was really happy to see our overall times under 23 (minutes).

Hannah Johnson recorded a hat trick Saturday to push the Home-dale High School girls soccer team to a 3-2 non-conference victory over Nampa.

Johnson snapped a 2-2 tie with about 2 minutes left in the game when she took a long pass from fellow junior Kendall Rupp, beat the defend-ers and then fi red a shot past the goalie in a one-on-one situation.

In a game played on the Bulldogs’ home fi eld, Johnson was the only player to score in the fi rst half as the Trojans owned a 1-0 halftime lead.

After Nampa scored twice after the inter-mission to grab a 2-1 lead, Johnson and Rupp hooked up for the fi rst time and tied the game 2-2. Rupp initi-

ated the scoring play with a cor-ner kick.

The Trojans fi nished the 3A Snake River Val-ley conference season at home Tuesday against McCall-Donnelly. Re-sults from Sundance Park weren’t available at press time.

Next up for the Tro-jans is the 3A District III Tournament, which be-gins Saturday at Sabala Field in McCall.

The district tourna-ment begins with three Saturday games. At 10 a.m., the SRV’s No. 4 seed meets the No. 5 seed in an elimination game. The second- and third-seeded teams face off at noon. The winner of the early game takes on the conference’s reg-

Thursday, Oct. 4 at Gary Ward Invitational, Nampa

Homedale High School’s football team enters the gauntlet beginning Friday in Weiser.

The Trojans come off their bye week and step directly into the teeth of their 3A Snake River Valley conference season when they visit the Wolverines for a 7 p.m. game at Walter Johnson Field.

The SRV has three berths into the 3A state playoffs, which turns every season into a series of haymakers between the conference’s members.

Weiser (4-1 overall, 1-1 3A SRV) already took one on the chin two weeks ago when Fruitland, the state’s top-ranked 3A team according to the IdahoSports.com media poll, soared to a 27-7 victory in both teams’ conference opener.

Homeda le can v i r tua l ly guarantee itself a berth in the state playoffs by beating Weiser on Friday. The Trojans would be 2-0 in the conference with games against Fruitland and McCall-Donnelly remaining. The Grizzlies are the defending 3A state champions and have been all but anointed the conference champions already. McCall, which edged a defl ated Homedale squad for the conference’s fi nal state berth in 2006, is 0-1 in the conference after a 52-0 shellacking at the hands of Fruitland on Friday.

If Homedale beat Weiser, the Trojans probably still would have the edge on a playoff spot when they met up with McCall in the regular-season fi nale on Oct. 19 at Deward Bell Stadium. The Vandals meet Payette Friday and take on Weiser on Oct. 12 and could come into the season fi nale at 1-2, needing to beat Homedale to clinch the third spot.

The Trojans (2-3, 1-0) come into its showdown against Weiser with a week’s rest after beating Payette 30-0 in both teams’ SRV opener on Sept. 21. The Wolverines

hammered the Pirates 44-0 on Friday.

The Trojans haven’t beaten the Wolverines since a 43-42 overtime victory in Washington County back in 2001.

Weiser has won the last fi ve meetings, never giving up more than 21 points in any of the contests. Last year, the Wolverines capitalized on seven Trojans turnovers at Deward Bell Stadium to halt Homedale’s best start since 2000. It also marked the beginning of a three-game slide that pushed the Trojans out of the race for a state playoff berth.

The Wolverines rolled up 356 yards total offense with a dominant running game chewing up 259 yards. Homedale was limited 147 total yards and had an ineffective passing game.

But Homedale marches into the 2007 version of the rivalry behind several new leaders. Daniel Valadez missed last year’s game with an injury, Micheal Wilhelm had only one carry for a yard, and Homedale has a new quarterback (Eric Engum), a new running threat (Rodrigo Villarreal) and a new primary wideout (senior Zach Tolmie).

Weiser returns bruising running back Jacob Scharbrough and versatile quarterback Brandon Richins, both of whom are seniors this season.

Scharbrough piled up 144 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries a year ago. He also caught one of Richins’ two touchdown passes. Richins also rushed for another score.

Scharbrough, an All-State linebacker as a junior, also anchors the Weiser defense, which has allowed just six points in the team’s last three victories.

Richins also was an All-SRV first-teamer at defensive back and had one of two interceptions against Homedale last year.

√ Adrian: Antelopes maintain share of 2ndFrom Page 1B

“They horse-collared me, used my momentum against me and slammed my head into the ground,” Rogers said of the play that injured two vertebrae and put him out of action for his ju-nior season.

Now, Rogers and Shenk agree that his neck is 100 percent re-covered.

“It gets stiff, but it’s good,” Rogers said.

“It’s probably the strongest part on him, now,” Shenk concurred.

Despite the scary nature of neck injuries, Shenk was always confi -dent about Rogers’ return.

“We knew he could do it,” Shenk said.

Rogers has now picked up where he left off last year before

the in jury. Shenk cred-its his run-ning back’s talent and the play of Rog-e r s ’ t e a m -mates.

“He’s a pa-tient runner. He follows his blocking. He’s fast,” Shenk said. “You see the line blocking downfi eld; not very often do you see a run-ner that can look downfi eld and come off blocks like he’s doing. But the line’s down there doing it for him, and we can’t plug them enough.”

Rogers said that he tries to make use of downfi eld blocking in his running style.

“I don’t really go for power as much because I’m not as big,” Rogers said. “I just try faking them out a little bit, cut, and try to lead them in and let my team

take care of them.”

He wasn’t sure after the game whether he had three or four rush-ing touch-downs, and admitted that he sometimes has trouble keeping track of the touchdowns.

“I don’t worry about the touch-downs so much. I just worry about my team and winning the game,” Rogers said. “I don’t really care about what I get, I just want the team to win.”

Adrian sits in a second-place with Spray-Mitchell in the HDL. The Antelopes meet Burnt Riv-er in a Friday matinee in Unity, while co-league leaders Crane and Prairie City face off in Prai-rie City and Spray-Mitchell takes on Harper.

Its namesake is gone, but the Rusty Fender Classic cross country meet lives on in a demanding course around C.J. Strike Reservoir.

“Sadly, some vandal with a neatness fetish — or maybe it was a classic-car restorer who needed parts — removed the battered but faithful fender last year, but the memory lingers on,” Rimrock High School coach Kermit Tate said.

Tate launched the meet three years ago with an eye toward not only building his program, but also strengthening the sport’s foothold in the state’s smaller schools. He says the grueling 5-kilometer layout also could help elite runners hone their skills for championship season.

“I would kind of like this event to become a serious roadmark during the season, one that teams look forward to,” Tate said.

“If this race could be a combination training aide and gut-check for runners pushing to make it to State and compete, well, I’d feel pretty good about it.”

Tate pointed out that the s ta te championship meet rotates between Eagle Island State Park in the south and courses in Lewiston in the north, Idaho Falls in the

east and Pocatello in the southeast. He said every state-caliber course has “signifi cantly more hill component than any course I’ve seen in this part of the state.”

The Rusty Fender course, which begins in the North Park at C.J. Strike Dam and covers several elevation changes, features a couple hills that Tate sees as challenging.

“Personally, with this course, I consider anyone who doesn’t quit to be a winner,” he said. “Most people would get tired driving up this hill.”

This year’s event begins at 3 p.m. with a combined boys and girls middle school race. The

high school girls race goes off at 3:30 p.m., and the competition is capped with a 4 p.m. high school boys race. Tate warned that the meet will be run under a rolling schedule, so races will start earlier than the posted times if the previous contest has been completed.

Vale, Ore., Parma and New Plymouth are scheduled to compete with the Raiders, as are smaller schools Idaho City and Horseshoe Bend.

“Horseshoe Bend and Idaho City usually bring people that really understand how

to get up and down hills, and could fi nish well,” Tate said. “Rimrock has its offi cial scoring team this season, and our guys are running well.

“In the end, this course will grind away at everyone who runs it. The winners will be whoever wants it most and is most willing to go after it, mentally and physically.”

The course starts out from the North Park and heads downhill across a bridge and through the RV park. Athletes then will reverse back over the bridge and back up the hill to a canyon rim. The course then turns and fi nishes on a long downhill trek.

Rimrock’s contingent is coming off an impressive showing at the prestigious Bob Firman Invitational at Eagle Island on Sept. 22.

All the Raiders grabbed season-best times, according to Tate, with Cole Merrick turning in the best fi nish for a Rimrock athlete. The coach said Brian Meyers fi nished close behind Merrick, and Chris Hipwell and Alan Draper nearly crossed the line together.

Andy Bol completed the scoring unit for the Raiders, and Tate said he took a “big chunk” out of his previous best time.

“Our goal is to get into the best possible positions to get people to State this year,” Tate said. “State competition would be another fi rst for us.”

While the Rusty Fender layout might be classifi ed as a pain for the competitors, Tate

said it’ll be a pleasure for the coaches and spectators because about 85 percent of the course is visible at all times. He said that has drawn positive reviews from fans in the fi rst two years.

“On most courses, the runners leave the start and you don’t see them again until they get to the fi nish chute,” he said.

The course, which runs through much of Idaho Power’s facility at the dam — with much gratitude from Tate — also is scenic.

“Many of the athletes who competed last year, and their families, had never been to the lake area before and had no idea how pretty and well-kept the park area is,” Tate said.

In addition to the support from Idaho Power, Tate says the Grand View Chamber of Commerce and Grand View Lions Club have stepped up to help put a shine on the Rusty Fender.

The Lions Club is helping the Chamber run the concession stand and the Chamber of Commerce has chipped in to create individual medals and team trophies.

“Team and individual awards are a new thing this year, and we really appreciate the Chamber of Commerce for providing them,” Tate said.

“The Idaho Power team have a beautiful facility, and we appreciate them letting us use it.”

years I have coached here. They are improving. That’s all I can ask of them.”

Junior Tyler Gibson cut 50 sec-onds off his previous best time this year while fi nishing sixth, covering the 5-kilometer cir-cuit at Wilder’s River Bend Golf Course in a time of 18 minutes, 52 seconds. Each of the boys varsity runners improved on his result from the Homedale Invita-tional on Sept. 7, with the times 1 minute, 15 seconds better on average.

Still, the task of passing Pay-ette for second place in the district championships appears daunting. Four Pirates have 5K times under 20 minutes this season, including Thursday’s winner Zach Waynets-ka, whose season-best clocking of 17:00 achieved earlier this season is more than half a minute faster than any other runner in the dis-

trict. Only Gibson has broken that barrier for the Trojans. Waynets-ka had a winning time of 17:30 at River Bend.

With Waynetska likely scoring one point and several Weiser run-ners sure to be top fi nishers, the pressure will be on Homedale’s runners.

“Looking at the scores, it seems like a lot,” Schamber said, “but if we can jockey the positions a lit-tle bit, I think we can slip into that second position. Hopefully, we can catch that Payette team.”

The Trojans share Schamber’s optimism.

“Payette, I think we’re gonna get ’em,” Jacob Compton, who fi n-ished 13th in the conference meet at 21:50, said. “It’s going to take a lot of hard work, but we can do it.”

Drew Farwell, 18th in the con-ference meet at 22:59, agreed.

“We’re going to have to do more as a team. Work harder in

practice. Run more hills,” Far-well said.

Gibson and lone Homedale girls runner Belen Vega both fi n-ished sixth in the conference meet. Vega, struggling with a leg injury, ran the course in 24:13, more than a minute slower than her best time this season.

Schamber said that the injury is not serious, and that Vega is run-ning as well as she can.

“Belen Vega ran pretty well despite a nagging injury from her ankle. I think if we continue to ice it and maybe stay off it, she will be ready for districts in a couple of weeks,” Schamber said.

The coach thinks that both Gibson and Vega can improve enough to make a splash at the district meet, which is scheduled for Oct. 18.

“I think they can both get into the top fi ve by districts,” he said.

Marsing’s Ethan Sauer rambled for 175 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries against Cole Valley (0-4, 0-2), bringing his team-leading season rushing total to 818 yards.

Huskies quarterback Tyson Heller was 8 of 17 for 156 yards, with two touchdowns and two interceptions.

A week before facing the Chargers, the Huskies (3-2 overall, 1-1 2A WIC) were shut out in the fi rst half on the way to a 19-14 loss at Melba.

For Cole Valley, Heller tried a different tack with his players.

“I told them my goal for them: I want 50 points at halftime,” Heller said.

“In order to do that, we’d better

come out and play better than we have.”

The Huskies didn’t, and the first-half performance mystery continues. Marsing plays host to Parma (4-1, 1-1) at 7 p.m. on Friday.

The Panthers are coming off a 47-0 pasting of New Plymouth, a fact that might provide the Huskies with some early adrenaline.

Oscar Gomez scored a touch-down, and quarterback Clay Cantrell added a two-point con-version. Black’s second TD came on an end run with 2 seconds left in the game.

Other leaders for the Raiders against Horseshoe Bend included Kyle Thiel, who caught three pass-es for 45 yards. Cantrell completed fi ve of 11 passes for 71 yards.

Gary Jones and Bob Murray coach the team, which opened

the season with a 40-18 loss to Idaho City on Sept. 11 despite a valiant effort in the second half. The host Wildcats had rolled out to an 32-0 halftime lead, but Rim-rock utilized halftime adjustments to outscore Idaho City 18-8 after the intermission.

Rimrock came back with a 46-

Homedale High School’s boys soccer team took a run at bigger schools last week in preparation for the 3A District III Tournament that begins Saturday.

The Trojans (2-8-1 overall, 1-4-1 3A SRV through Sunday) ended a week on the road with a thrilling 3-2 non-conference victory over host Nampa.

The rest of the week featured a 10-0 3A Snake River Valley conference blowout at the hands of Payette on Thursday on the same Harmon Killebrew Field pitch where the Trojans will open the district tourney this weekend.

On Sept. 25, goalkeeper Tony Oehmichen made eight saves, but the Trojans dropped a 1-0 decision to non-conference foe Ontario in Oregon. The Tigers scored in the fi rst half.

“This week has been an emotional roller-coaster for my players and me,” Trojans coach David Correa said. “We showed our

ability to play good soccer and stand up to bigger schools like Ontario and Nampa, as well as our ability to overcome adversity.

“This can only be good as we approach our district tournament.”

Freshman Tanner Lair, who has taken over the offensive threat duties after the resignation of Nestor Machuca from the squad, scored two goals Saturday as the recharged Trojans edged the Bulldogs (2-14).

One of Nampa’s two victories on the season was a 4-0 win over Homedale at Sundance Park on Sept. 8.

“For Saturday’s game against Nampa, we used our Friday (practice) to prepare for the game,” Correa said. “We had a long conversation, and we talked about the importance of bouncing back from Thursday’s game.

“We talked about our positioning on the fi eld, closing the gaps and attacking

the ball.”Lair drew first blood after halftime,

and Lair and Miguel Vasquez scored consecutive goals to snap a 1-1 deadlock.

Payette 10, Homedale 0Oehmichen stopped 10 shots from the

Pirates, but the Trojans couldn’t break through their hosts’ defenses.

The Pirates rolled out to a 4-0 halftime lead, puzzling Correa, who had expected a tight match based on the two squads’ fi rst outing on Sept. 10. In the fi rst game, Payette scored early and held on for a 3-2 victory.

“Payette dominated the game from beginning to end,” Correa said. “As a coach, it is hard to explain a score like that. I just know we had a bad night.”

Ontario 1, Homedale 0The Tigers of the 4A Greater Oregon

League scored in the game’s first five

minutes and stifl ed the Trojans’ offense throughout the Sept. 25 contest.

“It was a tough match; however, the boys showed heart and good soccer skills,” Correa said. “They managed to put pressure on Ontario’s goalie many times.”

District tournamentThe 3A District III Tournament begins

with Saturday games in Payette. At 10 a.m., the No. 4 seed — where Correa expects the Trojans to land — meets the No. 5 seed in an elimination game. The second- and third-seeded teams face off at noon. The winner of the early game takes on the SRV regular-season champion at 2 p.m. Saturday.

The second day of the tournament takes place Tuesday with the losers bracket fi nal at 5 p.m. and district championship at 7 p.m.

The tournament ends on Oct. 11 with a 6 p.m. game to decide which team qualifi es for a state play-in game.

Trojans boys make strides during 0-3 run

The top Homedale Middle School volleyball teams are hanging tough in the Snake River Valley conference as the District III Tournament looms.

Both A teams for the seventh- and eighth-grade programs are running second in the conference. The district tournament will be held Oct. 13. The eighth-grade tournament takes place in Payette, while the seventh-graders will compete in McCall.

The Trojans’ seventh- and eighth-grade B teams also are doing well in the SRV, with coaches reporting improvement in skills such as serving overhand, passing off a serve and learning to spike.

The volleyball program has three days of action — Tuesday against Payette, Wednesday against Fruitland and Oct. 11 against Ontario, Ore. — to close out the regular season next week.

collected its fi rst victory of the SRV season Sept. 25 at Deward Bell Stadium against Ontario.

Danny Magdaleno and Trey Corta scored multiple touchdowns as Homedale (1-2) rolled up 33 points against the Tigers.

The seventh-graders are winless in their first three games, but continue to show improvement, according to coaches.

Big half can’t help junior Raiders

An unusual format couldn’t keep the Adrian High School volleyball team from continuing its early-season dominance in the High Desert League.

The Antelopes (13-1 overall, 5-0 HDL) lost only one game while traveling between Adrian and Huntington for two league matches Friday. The Antelopes visited the Locomotives and played host to Harper.

The day began in Huntington with a 25-5, 25-17, 25-16 sweep of the Locomotives. The match originally was scheduled as part of a tri-meet with Harper on the Antelopes’ court, but coach Aimee Goss, who is also Adrian’s athletic director, said the venue was switched because Huntington has a dearth of home dates this season.

After sweeping Huntington, the Antelopes hopped on the bus and returned home to face Harper.

Perhaps weary from the short ride and trying to fi nd their legs, the Antelopes lost the fi rst game. But Adrian rebounded for a 23-25, 25-12, 25-14, 25-15 victory.

Paige Branstiter notched 13 kills, while Adrian teammate McKenzie Purnell had 10 assists and eight kills. Kassi Daugherty carded three kills and six assists.

The Antelopes continue to play without senior libero Kristen Phillips, who is sidelined with a wrist injury. Sophomore outside hitter Andrea Shenk returned from her injury for last week’s action.

Adrian sweeps Idaho foesThe Antelopes on Thursday

played host to a tri-meet against Liberty Charter and Wilder of the 1A Western Idaho Conference.

The Patriots from Nampa gave Adrian all it could handle with strong serves and consistent

rallies, but Adrian beat Liberty Charter in fi ve games, 25-14, 19-25, 25-21, 19-25, 15-9.

Branstiter dominated from the net and the service line. The 6-foot senior served six aces and collected a whopping 26 kills.

Against Wilder, Purnell had a solid all-around game with three aces, fi ve kills, fi ve assists and three blocks.

The Antelopes swept the pesky Wildcats, 26-24, 25-23, 25-19.

Daugherty blazed three aces.

Looking back...from the fi les of The Owyhee Avalanche and Owyhee Chronicle

50 years ago25 years ago 140 years ago

September 28, 1867

MAILS ON THURSDAY. The public should understand that no California mail is due here on Thursday, as none arrives at Hunter’s for the mail leaving there on Monday. The steamers, cars and Pioneer coaches do not run Sundays. One extra mail, each week, is carried by the Railroad line, and yet some contemptible, sneaking liar is dissatisfi ed, and gives vent to his spleen by causing the publication of a series of barefaced falsehoods.

ATTENTION EVERYBODY! A public meeting will be held at Thos. Ewing & Co’s store on Monday evening, Sept. 30, at seven o’clock precisely, for the purpose of taking action upon the currency question, and if agreeable to fi x the price of Legal Tenders at seventy-fi ve cents. This is a question in which all business men in Owyhee are interested; it will be thoroughly discussed at the meeting and we hope to see all who are interested present.

THE AVALANCHE has been selected as an offi cial paper, in which to publish the United States Laws, passes at the Second Session of the Thirty-ninth Congress, 1866-67. We received a copy of the Statutes this week from the Department of State, and in the next issues we will begin publication of them.

COL. FOGUS has opened another rich ledge on the summit of War Eagle Mountain. It is well defi ned and shows on the surface a width of about fi fteen inches. We were shown pieces of the croppings, a considerable portion of which is black sulphurets of silver interspersed with articles of gold plainly visible.

GRAND DIORAMA! Everyone should go to the Court House this evening to see Matteson’s Grand Diorama Exhibition of the late Rebellion in the United States – embracing all of the most thrilling scenes, such as battle, bombardments, skirmishes, &c., from the beginning to the close of the war. There will also be a representation of the assassination of President Lincoln, death of Booth, capture of Jeff. Davis, &c., with the Aurora Borealis Chromotrope — the whole performance concluding with several magnifi cent revolving illustrations of Chinese fi re works. The Dioramas are seven feet in diameter, and will not only be amusing but also instructive. Mr. Matteson, the proprietor, belonged to the 83d Illinois Volunteers and has been through the war himself — having been eye-witness to many of the scenes represented. Price of admission, one dollar; children, fi fty cents. Doors open at seven o’clock precisely.

THE POORMAN LODE. The following theory concerning the formation of the Poorman ledge, in Idaho, is offered by a geologist who lately made a thorough examination as far as the work of development enabled him to investigate:

Its soft vein stone has been so extensively acted upon by the stream vapors and ebullitions of hot water, probably it might have been the vent of some ancient water volcano. The boiled, rotten and sodden character of its wall rock looks like this. If this crevice has been for ages a boiling salt solfatara or mud volcano, whose walls are often slipping and grinding upon each other, and whose rocks were softening, and the rich sulphurets and ruby ores were slowly changing to chlorides, till at last it became quite full, we have, in my opinion, a fair theory of this celebrate vein.

IF YOU WANT a nicely fl avored cigar, Jerry’s on Jordan Street, is the place to “go for it.” He is bound to “close out,” and sells cheap. Besides, he’s such a curious chap.

BUTCHER & LENOIR have a splendid assortment of provisions, clothing, &c., which they are selling for cash at small profi ts. They also have a large supply of splendid fresh fruits received from California direct.

September 29, 1982

Chamber votes to repair swim pool The Homedale Chamber of Commerce voted 10-6

Tuesday to approve a recommendation of the board of directors to dedicate funds to repair the community swimming pool.

The action followed a discussion concerning the history of the facility, and need of it by the community.

The organization has earmarked up to $20,000 for repairs, and $5,000 per year for maintenance and operation. The pledge is good until the end of March.

Should bids for repairs be more than the allotted amount, or should the matter not be resolved by the end of March, the pool will probably be sold or fi lled in.

Paul Bull was named chairman of a committee to obtain the needed information and obtain bids.

The initial funds to repair the pool would come from a community development account, which was established from income raised at community auctions over several years.

New bridge to be repairedThe wavy Highway 95 on a recently constructed bridge

over Jump Creek will be repaired “this week or next” Bill Sacht, District 3 Engineer, said in a phone interview Thursday.

The bridge was constructed recently, and the roadway is wavy. Sacht said it was “not the contractor’s mistake. We (Dept. of Highways) made a mistake in elevation…the contractor built it to our specifi cations,” the engineer said.

The price tag to let a new contract to correct the surface is expected to be between $8,000 and $10,000, Sacht said.

Conrad elected as Kiwanis presidentHomedale Kiwanis Club held an installation banquet

at Owyhee Lanes Tuesday evening at which new offi cers for 1982-83 were installed and Kiwanians of the Year announced.

President John Buck gave “Reflections of the Past Years,” the Kiwanis fi rst year in Homedale, and installed new offi cers. Installed were Ron Conrad, president; Gail Tuttle, fi rst vice president; Dr. Bill Jeppe, second vice president; Allan Romriell, secretary-treasurer; Rev. Fred Ulrich, Duane Emry, George Murray, Father Mel Sprute, Mike Blankenship and Rev. Kenneth Pitts, board of directors.

Mike Blankenship and Dr. Bill Jeppe were presented the “Kiwanian of the Year” awards.

PTA holds “meet the teachers” receptionHomedale Parent-Teacher Association hosted a “Meet

the Teachers” reception on Monday, Sept. 20 at the Washington grade school multi-purpose room.

Deward Bell, superintendent of schools, introduced the administrative staff, school board members and non-certifi ed employees. Herb Fritzley, elementary principal, introduced elementary staff of the Washington and Lincoln buildings. Nolan Taggart, junior-senior high principal, introduced the COSSA instructors and faculty of the junior and senior high school.

Strong defense holds MustangsThe Homedale Trojans held the Melba Mustangs from

scoring their 12 points until the fourth quarter, and at the same time racked up 35 on the scoreboard last Friday night at the Homedale fi eld.

It was the home team’s game the fi rst three quarters, beginning with quarter one, with Dave Kubosumi’s ten yard run. Kubosumi repeated the performance minutes later in the second quarter.

Mike Matteson, Trojan quarterback, made a one-yard plunge to score another six, and Terry Uda, also on a one-yarder, scored again for the Trojans, following an interception by Eric Kushlan.

October 3, 1957

Water levy set for year by Gem Irrigation DistrictThe levy for operation and maintenance was set by the

directors of the Gem Irrigation district at $4.75 per acre on the new unit, which includes drainage, and $5.00 on the old unit, which includes excess water.

The resolution authorizing the levy made by the district for the city of Homedale remains the same as last year, but the resolution from Marsing has raised the lots from $1.00 to $1.25 and the acreage in town from $4.00 to $5.00.

Both units of the Gem Irrigation district will also pay $2.10 per acre on construction.

All payments become delinquent after the third Monday of December providing that one half of the assessment is not paid by said time and the balance is payable by March 15.

Water will be turned off Thursday, October 10 on all canals under the Owyhee Project by orders of the joint boards of control.

Homedale Trojans lose to Melba for fi rst loss The Homedale Trojans lost their fi rst game of the season

Friday night at Melba when the Mustangs romped over them 24-0. Due to a big line, an excellent defense and a coordinated offense, it was completely Melba’s night.

There wasn’t one Homedale defensive position that didn’t have large holes blasted into it by the Mustangs. Following the game, the home team received tactful and appropriate criticism that should encourage them to show real determination this Friday afternoon when they meet the Notus Pirates on their home fi eld.

The game opened with Melba receiving. They lost the ball via fumble fi ve plays later near midfi eld. On third and eight Homedale threw a pass which was intercepted. Then Melba, on their own 40 advanced the ball 11 yards in three plays, and then stormed round their left end 49 yards for a touchdown. The rest of the quarter was quite even. The second quarter saw the Trojans advance deep into Melba territory. Unfortunately, however, Melba arose to the occasion, and both drives died on the 13 and 17 yard line respectively.

The halftime score was 0-6. Melba in the fourth quarter, with runs of 12, 27, and 16

yards, scored their fourth and fi nal touchdown.

On the edge of common sense

Not important ...but possibly of interest

The horse clinician“ARE YOU TEACHIN’ HIM A LESSON?” she asked,

eager to please,As I tried to keep from barfi ng, my head between my knees.

“YOU HUNG ON LIKE A WIND SOCK! IT JUST TICKLED US TO DEATH!”

Is she serious? I’m drooling, I can’t hardly catch my breath.

“WHEN YOU LEANED YOURSELF UP FORWARD AND KISSED HIM ’TWEEN THE EARS THE WHOLE CLASS JUST WENT CRAZY! I GUESS YOU HEARD THE CHEERS!”

That must be how I broke my nose and split my upper lip

But I guess it looked like kissin’. “I JUST LOVE YOUR HORSEMANSHIP

THE WAY YOU TAME THE SAVAGE BEAST, THE TECHNIQUES THAT YER USIN’.”

When my tailbone hit the cantle I felt my sphincter loosen.

“YOU RECKON YOU COULD SHOW US HOW YOU DID IT ONCE AGAIN?

BE NICE TO GET SOME PHOTOS,” What? To show my next of kin?

I guess there goes my living will, I’m a victim of the forces.

The way this looks I might as well go back to shoein’ horses.

“IT WAS REALLY SO IMPRESSIVE THE WAY YOU MADE HIM LOAD

AT FULL GALLOP SETTIN’ BACKWARDS FROM A WAY ON DOWN THE ROAD!”

So, that’s how I hit the trailer. Think I lost a pound of fl esh.

Thank goodness it was rusty and my tetanus shot was fresh.

“COULD YOU SHOW US THAT MANEUVER WHERE YOU CIRCLED LIKE A FAN

WITH NOTHIN’ BUT YOUR BUCKLE TOUCHIN’ HOLDIN’ OUT BOTH HANDS!

Now where’d I put my Dramamine, it was here the other day

I’m feelin’ kinda woozy…did Ray Hunt start out this way?

I thought it would be easy to be a horse clinicianNow it’s gonna take a miracle to explain this

exhibitionHow I really was in full control, above the rising

panic,Though I looked like the propeller on the back of the

Titanic!

“It’s what I call the daisy,” I modestly explainedIt takes a master trainer to achieve what I’ve attained.“You should concentrate on basics, skip the fancy stuff,”

I warnedBesides, I thought, any gunsel can accidentally hook his

buckle on the horn!

Norm and I go back a long way, and we have a lot in common. We’ve known each other since age 6. We went through 12 years of school together. He was born three days before me. I got married 17 days before he got married. We both celebrated our 40th wedding anniversaries this year. Norm has spent his working life in radio and television news while I opted for newspapers. Norm is the only member of our class with whom I have had continuous contact since graduation.

Norm and Paula live in Portland, but he has family, including his mom, still living in this area so they visit on a regular basis. They usually have so many family commitments that we don’t have a chance to see them. But we do communicate by e-mail. This time, however, when Norm and Paula announced an upcoming trip to the valley, they said they would have some extra time. They invited us to go out to dinner. We accepted and invited them to stay over at our house.

They arrived late in the afternoon. We introduced them to granddaughter Gracie who was waiting for her dad to pick her up. We talked about our grandchildren — they have an 18-month-old grandson. We briefed each other on what our kids are doing (we have three daughters, they have two). Other hot topics included home remodeling and European vacation stories (they are ahead of us in the latter category). We reminisced about our junior high days when Norm and I played around with the old tube-type upright radios from the ‘20s and ‘30s that you could buy for about 50 cents at the local auctions (Norm restores them nowadays as a hobby).

At a local café, we compared notes on other members of our class. That information has increased in recent months because another classmate, Dennis, and his wife Pat, established an Internet site devoted to the Kuna High School Classes of ‘63 and ‘64. In 44 years, the 54 members of the Class of ‘63 have scattered from Washington State

to Iowa to Arizona. But more than half still live within 50 miles of where we grew up. At least three are gone now — Vern, Ron (Tiny) and Dick. I’m fairly certain that the fact that I bit Dick’s leg hard enough to draw blood back in the third grade was not a factor in his early departure.

On the way back to our house, we drove Norm and Paula around to give them a look at some of the growth. One place hasn’t changed. Only about a half-mile from our house is the old gravel pit where Norm, Willard and yours truly sometimes would “prefunction” before going to the Dick Cates dances at the Caldwell IOOF Hall. We had to stay at the pit until Willard threw up. Otherwise he sometimes threw up on the dance fl oor, which was somewhat of a social faux pas.

Back at the house, we sat around and talked some more. I discovered another thing Norm and I have in common is the desire to not worry about getting up in the morning to go to work — retiring, that is, not the other alternative. We both fi gure that day is still a couple of years away, unless we win the lottery.

By 9:30 Norm, who usually gets up at 3 a.m. to go to work, was fi ghting to stay awake. But it was another hour before we called it a day.

The next morning, I informed our guests that they were very special as they were the fi rst people to use the shower in our remodeled bathroom. They said it was great — just the type they would like when they remodel their bathroom. I told them that if a 45th class reunion does take place next year, they should just plan to stay with us rather than getting a motel room. They urged us to come spend a weekend with them. After breakfast they headed out to visit Norm’s mom before returning to Portland.

Norm and Paula’s visit wasn’t long, but it was very enjoyable. Especially when you reach our age, simple things often give the most pleasure.

A simple but enjoyable visit

by Sheldon RichmanPresident Bush opposes efforts in Congress and the states

to expand the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) to include more children from middle-class families who don’t qualify for Medicaid.

Both houses of Congress passed the legislation last week, but Bush has threatened to veto the bill.

The president says he’s against the bill because “when you expand eligibility ... you’re really beginning to open up an avenue for people to switch from private insurance to the government.” This, he says, would undermine personal responsibility.

Bush is right about that. Why should the taxpayers have to provide health insurance for people who can afford it? In a truly free society, taxpayers wouldn’t be forced to provide it for anyone. The free market, unencumbered by government mandates, regulations, subsidies and taxes, would have no trouble delivering high-quality medical care and insurance to anyone who wants it. Every serious problem facing America’s medical system is attributable to government interference. That has been documented endlessly. The claims that government-run systems — whether Canadian, British or Cuban — are effi cient and compassionate are palpable nonsense. When people need sophisticated medical care without waiting, they come to the United States. That’s true not because the United States has a free medical market, but because it has less government involvement than other countries. (That’s a very low bar.) To the extent the government is involved,

the system is messed up. Government is the reason medical insurance is expensive. It has been so distorted by the politicians that it isn’t really insurance at all, but just another wealth-transfer program.

That said, Bush’s position is not something we advocates of constraining government power can cheer. That may seem odd, but there’s a deeper political point to be made. When Bush lectures middle-class and working-class people on self-responsibility, he has no credibility whatever. This is true for most establishment conservatives today. They have violated the freedom-and-responsibility philosophy so often that when they suddenly invoke it for children’s medical care, they look cynical and callous. With friends likes these, the free-market cause hardly needs enemies.

Imagine Bush talking about responsibility and the importance of not giving people incentives to leave private insurance for the government dole. What does he think his monstrously expensive Medicare drug benefi t accomplished? Economists warned of this at the time, but he was more interested in political gain than freedom and responsibility.

This only scratches the surface. His signature No Child Left Behind Act further shifted responsibility for education away from parents to distant bureaucrats in the central government. That was too much even for some conservatives.

He has supported virtually the whole constellation of

The remnants of Helton’s Ferry as they looked in 2000. Photo by Norma Parvin Walker

Markers needed to preserve fading Homedale history

Residents of the village of Homedale could choose between three ferryboats to cross Snake River in the early 20th century.

Jacob Mussell began a ferryboat crossing circa 1898, the location near the present Homedale Snake River bridge.

Dick and Ida Helton’s homestead island located in Snake River used a ferryboat for access to their holdings.

The Heltons made their island into a park with large lawns, shade trees, picnic areas, swimming with dressing cabana, horse race track and hospitality. The ferryboat accomplished public use. Location: north end of Main Street.

Ferryboat No. 3 was called Farmer’s Ferry and was in business a short time. It was used mostly for moving cattle, sheep, horses and produce and autos.

Today, markings of the Farmer’s Ferryboat site can be seen when Snake River water is low.

From the Canyon County side of Snake River between the homes of Tom Morris and Scott Watson, looking toward the Salutregui home in Homedale, some understructures of former Farmer’s Ferry can be seen.

Memorial markers of these historical sites are needed before the locations are lost to time and tide.

√ Hypocrisy: Bush’s priorities hurts politicsFrom Page 10Bcorporate-welfare programs, from farm subsidies to energy-company tax preferences to ethanol privileges to Export-Import Bank favors to “defense” contracts that have nothing to do with real defense. Working people who are told to take responsibility for themselves might justifi ably wonder why big corporations and agribusinesses shouldn’t do the same.

Such inconsistency — dare we say hypocrisy? — does grave damage to the cause of freedom and the free market. When politicians selectively apply the principle of self-responsibility, they discredit it. Their motives are suspect in many people’s eyes — and they should be.

This has a profound effect on the political system. Nonideological, middle-of-the-road voters, who tip the

balance in many elections, are likely to think the worst when they see a politician push energy, “defense,” and farm bills that transfer huge amounts of taxpayer money to wealthy individuals and companies, while opposing health coverage for children in nonwealthy families. Voters tend not to like hypocrites, and such politicians give the free market a bad name. It begins to look like a cover for helping friends.

If the case for freedom is to win people over, it must be made clearly and consistently. Trying to shoehorn it into a program of corporate welfare is not only absurd, it is also sure to lose.

Accuracy In Media

by Cliff KincaidDan Rather is making headlines suing his former

employer, but Rather’s predecessor, Walter Cronkite, is busy promoting world government. Cronkite has just surfaced as one of the 101 “prominent leaders” signing a letter urging Senate passage of the Law of the Sea Treaty. His CBS affi liation is listed on the letter, making it seem as though the media giant is taking sides in the debate over the pact. This would not be surprising; media coverage has been overwhelmingly pro-treaty. A news conference I participated in Wednesday to oppose the treaty was ignored by most of the media. However, Newsmax.com, CNSNews.com and the Washington Times were among those covering it.

Cronkite has been a fundraiser for many years for the World Federalists, who have declared that the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), by creating an independent source of revenue for the U.N. through a global tax, signals the emergence of a world government.

Convinced by international lawyers in their JAG offi ces that the treaty somehow guarantees freedom of navigation on the high seas, U.S. military leaders backing UNCLOS have no awareness of the real agenda behind UNCLOS.

The “strange bedfellows” aspect of this controversy demonstrates how out-of-place our military leaders are in backing UNCLOS. This is a treaty written and promoted by those who want to restrict U.S. military power. Strangely, Admiral Patrick M. Walsh, the Chief of Naval Operations for the Department of the Navy, and other Navy and Coast Guard offi cials are on the same side as Citizens for Global Solutions, the group pushing the International Criminal Court treaty that could land our military leaders in foreign jails.

Don Kraus, the executive vice president of Citizens for Global Solutions and the director of the organization’s Government Relations Department and Political Action Committee, has written on a blog that it is absolutely imperative for the liberal Senate to pass UNCLOS because that is the only way to pave the way for accession to the International Criminal Court (ICC) treaty. The ICC is a U.N.-sponsored international court that could prosecute and put Americans in foreign jails. The most frequently mentioned American targets are U.S. soldiers and their military and civilian leaders, who could be prosecuted and sentenced for “war crimes” without Bill of Rights protections.

Kraus says that, if the Senate passes UNCLOS, then he and his fellow “progressives” can anticipate Senate action on several other treaties in addition to the ICC.

Kraus said, “If the Senate will not accede to this convention, how can we expect them to support the ratifi cation of the backlog of multilateral treaties waiting for a vote including: the International Criminal Court treaty, the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, the Women’s Convention (CEDAW), the Rights of the Child, the Biodiversity Treaty, and many others. What will happen when it is time for the Senate to consider the successor to the Kyoto protocol, which runs out in 2012?”

There you have the secret agenda behind this treaty, in the words of one of those vigorously promoting it. UNCLOS is supposed to set the stage for passage of other U.N. treaties, including the ICC and one on “children’s

rights.” The latter will prohibit parents from spanking their children. The so-called women’s rights treaty known as CEDAW (Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women) will mandate abortion on demand and other feminist “rights” on a global level.

Kraus tells his fellow “progressives” that the fi ght for UNCLOS will also set the stage for Senate action and passage of more treaties on “climate change.” By that he presumably means higher taxes, perhaps on a global basis, to combat alleged man-made global warming. “One senate staffer I talked to recently has been yelling at groups coming to talk with him about climate change,” writes Kraus. “He’s been telling them that he doesn’t want to talk to them unless the fi rst words out of their mouth is ‘Law of the Sea,’ because if we can’t get this one through, none of the others agreements are going to get through.’ ”

So UNCLOS is a foot-in-the-door for a wide-ranging international agenda. Of course, Kraus should know. His group, Citizens for Global Solutions, used to be known as the World Federalist Association, which openly supported world government fi nanced by global taxes. On Oct. 19, 1999, Walter Cronkite accepted the group’s Global Governance Award and declared, “Today we must develop federal structures on a global level. We need a system of enforceable world law — a democratic federal world government — to deal with world problems.”

Cronkite also urged Senate ratifi cation of a list of treaties. He declared, “Ratify the Treaty to Ban Land Mines, the Law of the Sea Treaty, the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, the Convention to Eliminate All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Most important, we should sign and ratify the Treaty for a Permanent International Criminal Court.”

By the way, Charles J. Brown, the president of Citizens for Global Solutions, joined Cronkite as another of the 101 “prominent leaders” signing the letter urging the U.S. Senate to approve U.S. accession to the Law of the Sea Treaty. And did I mention that a video message was delivered to that 1999 World Federalist Association event featuring Cronkite from then-First Lady Hillary Clinton?

The implication behind Kraus’s concern is that liberal Democrats better get UNCLOS passed now, with Bush administration support, because it’s going to be much tougher to ratify the measure under a Democratic president such as Hillary when Republican senators are most likely to come together in opposition.

Many conservatives are hoping that Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell once again assumes the role of “guardian of gridlock” on the issue of American sovereignty and UNCLOS. McConnell must decide if he is with Bush, who was maneuvered by the State Department into backing UNCLOS, or with President Reagan, who rejected it. McConnell has such clout and credibility that he alone can save or sink this treaty. His decision will help determine the future direction of the GOP on the most critical issue of our time. More importantly, America’s survival as a sovereign nation hangs in the balance.

Communication and coverage allowed Jordan Valley High School to pick up another High

Desert League volleyball victory Friday at home.

Jessie White smacked nine kills

to fuel the Mustangs’ 25-16, 25-8, 25-15 victory over Prairie City.

“The girls did a great job on

serve receive and at the serving line,” Jordan Valley coach Jacque Naegle said. “We played very

well, communicating and covering the fl oor.”

Athena Beckwith had fi ve kills, and Elisa Eiguren added six kills and 14 service points.

“All of the girls are really stepping up at different times and contributing to the team in their own way, and this is terrific,” Naegle said. “It makes us a lot stronger in all areas.”

Jordan Valley (5-2 overall, 4-0 HDL) received a team-high 15 assists from setter Nickie Naegle, and Catie Kershner dished 13 assists.

Junior varsityAshley Hebison’s six assists

and 13 service points helped the younger Mustangs down Prairie City 25-11, 25-19.

Jordan Valley (5-1 overall) also received two kills apiece from Tessa Matteri and Shelly Payne. Matteri, Payne and Emma Johnson led the defense with one dig each.

“They just continue to work hard together and improve as their season goes along,” coach Jacque Naegle said.

Teamwork takes Mustangs to another win

JV scores its fi rst points in HDL

The Jordan Valley High School football team scored its fi rst points of the High Desert League season Friday, but visiting Prairie City notched a 46-12 victory.

The Mustangs scored both their touchdowns in the second quarter as the Panthers held a 20-12 edge.

Jordan Valley (0-4 overall, 0-3 HDL) held co-league leader Prairie City (5-2, 3-0) in check through the third quarter. The Panthers exploded for 26 points in the fi nal period.

Jordan Valley was coming off a 62-0 league loss to Burnt River in Unity on Sept. 21.

Tim Eiguren completed two of 14 passes for 37 yards, while Bryce Kershner rushed for 16 yards on fi ve attempts and Josh Deen chipped in 10 yards on three rushes.

The Bulls held Jordan Valley to 71 yards total offense and limited the Mustangs to three fi rst downs.

“Burnt River had a good game,” Jordan Valley fi rst-year coach Tim McBride said. “Our younger boys played well.

“Sonny Mackenzie played hard both defensively and offensively.”

The Mustangs visit Monument-Dayville on Friday.
