WNews from the Heart of Idaho: Camas, Lincoln, and Gooding County

End to End on Route 93U.S. Route 93 is a major north–south

highway that begins at Wickenburg, Arizona(50 miles northwest of Phoenix) and ends inJasper Alberta, Canada - a distance of over1,700 miles. It is a long, beautiful drive thattakes you through Nevada, Idaho, Montana,British Columbia, and into Alberta. Whilemost people would travel this route by car,one man is making the journey on a bicicle.

Earlier this month, Jasper’s Fire Chief,Greg Van Tighem, began a solo cycling tripthat will cover the full extent of highway 93.Part of his purpose is to promote tourism in-terest in Wickenburg, Jasper, and all the com-munities along route 93. His bigger goal, how-ever, is to raise $93,000 for the Multiple Scle-rosis Society.

Yet, Chief Van Tighem is quick to say, “Yes, I’m trying to raise money, but I wantto raise awareness about Multiple Sclerosis as well. The more people understand thechallenges faced by people dealing with MS, the sooner we will have a cure.”

With that said, he is not just looking for folks who will sponsor this journey, he isalso looking for people who will help spread information about MS amongst theirfriends, family, and many other contacts.

Last Wednesday, Chief Van Tighem traveled throughShoshone where he visted with members of the Cham-

ber of Commerce and Mayor Dave Wendell (abovephoto). The next morning, he continued on up High-way 93 towards the Craters of the Moon NationalMonument. You can follow his journey atwww.endms93.com or on his FaceBook page.

--------------------------Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, often

disabling disease that attacks the central nervoussystem. Symptoms may be mild, such as numb-ness in the limbs, or severe, such as paralysis orloss of vision. The progress, severity, and specificsymptoms of MS are unpredictable and vary fromone person to another. MS involves the immunesystem, but the specific target of this disease hasnot yet been identified.continued on page 8.....

Door to DoorYou hear the doorbell ring. You put

down your book (or tablet) and go to thefront of the house to see who is there.When you open the door, lo and behold,it’s someone trying to sell you something.

What do you do?Phone solicitation is relatively easy to

deal with (just hang up), but turning awayfrom a face-to-face meeting with some-one can be very difficult.

What do you do?First, a salesman may not enter a

home without a specific invitation from thehomeowner (actually, no one can enteryour home without your permission - un-less they have a warrant).

Second, most municipalities havesome sort of ordinance in place to regu-late this sort of activity. Generally knownas “Green River” ordinances, these lawsdeclare the practice of door-to-door so-liciting (unless requested by the home-owner) a nuisance, and punishable as amisdemeanor.

While most of these laws have beenupheld by the courts, there is a generalconsensus that a total ban on door-to-doorsolicitation is not defensible. On the otherhand, requiring a peddler to get permis-sion from city hall is perfectly reasonable,and most cities do so.

This brings us to point numberTHREE: if someone shows up at yourfront doorstep trying to sell you something,ask them if they have permission fromyour city council. If not, you have everyright to tell them where to go.

On the peddler’s side of things, get-

The Gooding Fire Department would like to offer you...

A Little Peace of MindFire rarely kills people. It’s the smoke that gets you. To

prevent that from happening, every home should have at leastthree smoke detectors.

For those you who are over 60 years-of-age and living on afixed income within the Gooding Fire District, the fire depart-ment recently received a Community Risk Reduction grant ofenough smoke detectors to supply ten homes.

While the Gooding Fire Department has an ongoing pro-gram of providing smoke detectors for those who need them,this is special opportunity to serve the community.

Because there is a limited number of these detectors, theywill be given out on a first-come basis to those who meet theabove requrements. The Fire Department will also provide afree Home Safety Inspection.

Contact the Fire Department today at 934-8348 and keepyour home and family safe.------------------------------

“Pompey Hollow Book Club” by Jerome Mark AntilIf there is a more idyllic boyhood in America written about,

I’ve never read about it. This slim volume is crammed with thegood stuff; adventure, good friends, boys who are friends withgirls, boys who don’t bully, a healthy and happy family. Cat-egorized as fiction, it must be somewhat autobiographical be-cause it is narrated by the author as a ten year old. At first Idismissed it as unrealistic. Then I realized it was somethingmore, a great deal more. It’s blueprint for family life. It’s theHow-To book for good parenting, and a step-by-step for fa-thers who want to try to be good fathers. This story is about afather who doesn’t drink, beat the wife and kids, take drugs orrun off to start a second/third family. The father in this bookthinks about his family (including his wife!), and includes hischildren in his life. This boy’s life, Jerome Mark Antil, wasn’tperfect, but his family’s love was perfect, and that gave Jeromethe tools he needed to cope with the imperfections of life thatdo come his way. What a nice family – how do I get adopted?

Last week the real estate in Utahand Nevada changed to great degrees.

This week Oregon had the honors of gettingthe real estate market. You could say they were chang-

ing faster than the weather. In fact, the weather was the ac-tual promoter in change. We were working up some groundon the hillside and the winds came up with 30 miles-per-hourplus speeds. The wind took the soil east and south, and ofcourse, it was going the same direction I was working thefield. This made for white our (dust out) conditions where Icould only see just past my tractor hood.

This week, as I said, Oregon was receiving all the realestate. The wind blew in a northwesterly direction. The windcame with harder force, and also had more worked groundto gather dust.

I think the people from Utah and Nevada sent some of thetopsoil back. They were probably not used to getting good top-soil in real estate transactions to this degree. The Oregon realestate swap rolled toward me like a can of spray paint coveringeverything in its way.

When the dust cloud hit where I was in the tractor, myvisibility became nothing. This time I could not even see thehood of the tractor. No matter how hard you gripped the steer-ing wheel, there were no straight lines because your sense ofdirection was lost. You just had to sit and wait, hoping for abreak in the dust. The winds were some of the worst I had seenin years as far as dust clouds.

The seal around the tractor windows were worn and thedoor hinges were worn to a non-perfect fit. The dust from thesestorms covered me almost as if I were outside. Telephone callsfrom the neighbors two miles away would indicate when theycould farm the next step past the phase I did, simply becausetwenty minutes after their dust storm, they knew I was done.

I could not imagine the Dust Bowl of the Thirties that theAmerican people experienced in the Midwest. I experiencedjust a few days of blackout dust while they experienced yearsof it. The depression was bad enough, but to lose you land,water, livestock, and way of life because of dust storms, ampli-fied the Great Depression.

The dust would blow in through the door keyholes like sandpouring though an hour glass. People sat at the table to eat withdust pouring on the food. Fence rows were covered so high thelivestock roamed freely. Barns blew away with so much con-tinual wind force. Shallow wells were filled or contaminated.Roadways changed. Gardens and crops were suffocated to deathor cut off with abrasive dirt and sand.

In our own state, we have some of the largest sand dunesaround - Bruneau and St. Anthony. Could we be the next dustbowl state? With our desert and farm land that would be scary.

This is my “Cup of Tee” slightly dusted.


ting permission to solicit is usually just a simple visit to a citycouncil meeting (or the clerk) and letting them know what youare doing in their community. Some municipalities, however, re-quire fees, background checks, and even photo IDs to be wornwhen conducting business.

Lastly, there are two areas of solicitation in which theselaws do not apply - noncommercial endeavors and the dissemi-nation of religious information. In 2002, the U.S. Supreme Courtoverturned a law in Stratton, Ohio, that required a permit fromthe mayor’s office before a person or group could promote acause. The primary reason for the court’s decision was thatStratton’s ordinance violated the First Amendment regardingreligion and freedom of speech.

There seems to be some indications that this summer willbring out a higher than normal number of door-to-door calls asindividuals try to generate income for their families. Word ofadvice: be kind, but be safe. Never let someone into your homeunless you are absolutely certain about your safety.

The Gooding Garden Society heldtheir second meeting of the year on Tuesday, April 16th. Wehave such a great group of members now - sixteen and thatincludes two men. Every one is so excited about spring and canhardly wait to start gardening.

We have a member that is going to plant all kinds of herds -medicinal and cooking - and show how to use them. We have amember that is going to have a berry garden - all different kinds,including some we are not familiar with. It will be exciting tolearn about growing, pruning, and canning everything.

An excellent trick for your garden is to grow your climbingplants on a section of hog wire placed in your garden so you canwalk on each side. You can reach through the large spaces topick your tomatoes, beans, smell zucchini, and other veggies,you don’t miss any. The hog wire we talked about is 16 feetlong and about 52” tall. Of course, you will need drive in poststo hold it up.

We learned that digging in the dirt and walking barefoot in thegrass and even hugging a tree are all tasks that help to keep oneyoung and healthy. So many people these days are glued to theircomputers or work in offices where they don't even get to see thesun let alone have contact with the earth. It was such an interest-
