Animal Ordinance Proposal to be Discussed at City Council Meeting

The Crossing History Part One

Or

The Story of Conrad the Mule

The Three Island State Park was dedicated in 1971

mainly due to the efforts of one man, an early day pio-neer, Frank Clark. In 1986 a group of local residents decided to re-enact the crossing of the Snake River much as the pioneers of 150 years ago had done. (First known crossing by the pioneers was in 1843). Wilson Steen, a long time resident of Glenns Ferry, who was

and two pack mules planned to cross. Everything went well until the riders entered the water from the third island. They were immediately in swimming water with a current so swift that the horses couldn’t swim and some went across without riders. One short legged mule “Conrad” owned and led by Roy Allen was partial-

ly across when he saw the trouble ahead and broke away from Roy and swam back across to the south side of the river where he ran along the bank heading up-stream. By then everyone else had made it safely across to the north side. Conrad, realizing at this point

Here Comes The Heat!

Signs of the Times

If it wasn’t bad enough reading about it happening somewhere else, now we have it happening right here at home. Last issue we reported that the Glenns Ferry High School Honor Society and the veterans placed crosses and flags on the graves of all the veterans bur-

ied in our city cemetery for Memorial Day. A solemn tribute to those who have served in the armed forces to protect and preserve our way of life. When the vet-erans collected the crosses and flags on Tuesday, they discovered that thirteen sets had disappeared. How

and honor these sacred symbols of all we hold dear. If anyone has information about the whereabouts of these items, please call Dale Smith, 366-2710 or 590-4171.

Child Abandoned at Rest Stop

Each Memorial Day, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and

the Glenns Ferry Senior Center join forces to provide a “Safety Break” at the Bliss Rest Stop on I-84, offering coffee, ice tea, water and homemade cookies to I-84 travelers. Monday, May 30th, the volunteers at the “safety break” became aware of a 6-year-old girl sitting alone at an adjacent picnic table for a long period of

time. When they spoke with the child, they discovered that her mother had placed her at the table, told her to stay there, and then got back in her car and drove away.

Letters to the Editor

Whoa Up A Minute, Folks! As you know, or don’t know, one city councilman

and an invitee addressed the idea of the City of Glenns Ferry taking over the current old established water mains and customers of King Hill Irrigation District (KHID) that lay within Glenns Ferry. Before this starts gaining any steam to go through with, I strongly suggest that all GF residents consider a

few things: 1) The existing KHID original irrigation sys-tem inside GF had deteriorated to the point that the vast majority of the lines are at the last limits of their years. This is the result of normal corrosion of the old iron pipe used years ago. The lines are tissue paper

thin and are failing more frequently year after year...and it is not going to get better in the future. 2) In order to meet financial demands, GF cut their maintenance crews back to 4 days a week a number of years ago. You have six months of KHID water running through the old lines and that means the need for 24-7

city coverage for those lines. How is GF going to cover this additional expense? If there is a break or whatever that demands immediate attention, you are looking at 2-4 city employees plus equipment costs and whatever the cost is for repair materials. Where is this money to magically come from? 3) If the city can’t afford to make

much needed street repairs, where is the money to come from to get into this King Hill water idea and sup-port the additional costs? 4) Right now, the GF people on GF irrigation are paying far more than what original KHI city water users are. I have been informed by one city council person that if GF takes over existing KHI

water that the “current rates” for original KHI cur-somers will remain the same. Who’s kidding who? The first thing on city council agenda will be to raise those customers’ rates to match GF irrigation rates come next April. This has got to be the worst kind of business ven-ture Glenns Ferry can ever get into. It is time for GF

residents to tell city council “NO” to this suggestion. A.C. Likes

41+ Smiles! As reported in the June 1st issue of the Glenns Ferry Times & Seasons, Doc-

tor Geoff Williams, of the International

Childrens Surgical Foundation (ICSF), joined numerous musicians and come-

dians on the stage at the Historic Opera Theatre to celebrate the smile. Some exceptional comedians and musicians provided smiles for attendees while Dr. Wil-liams told the attendees about a girl named Pinky.

Pinky is a young girl in the Philippines who received a life changing surgery that allowed her to smile for the first time in her life. While providing personal follow-up care, Dr. Williams and his colleagues found that Pinky lived with her family in a burned out nipa hut in the jungle over a mile from the nearest roadway.

Upon seeing the family’s living conditions, they reached deep into their own pockets and provided the $500 to have a proper house built for the family. The benefit concert was held to make attendees smile and to hear about those who couldn’t, but now

can. Although each surgery is different, the cost of these surgeries averages around 250 US Dollars. Even though the turnout was very disappointing, donations from the benefit will provide over 41 smiles for these deserving kids around the world. If you would like to learn more about the ICSF and its mission, please vis-

it www.icsfoundation.org or inquire at the paper. by David Payne

6th Grade Hot Air Balloon Rally

On May 24th, Mrs. Martin’s 6th grade Physical Science students hit the Middle School lawn at 8:30 a.m. to launch hot air balloons they had designed and constructed as a science project. The pro-ject first began four years ago when Mrs. Martin was looking for a

way to help her students understand the principle of density. Den-sity is the amount of matter in a given space and can be found by dividing the mass of an object by its volume. It is the property of matter that determines if an object will float or sink. The idea for the laboratory project came from an Intel Teaching

resource available on the web at the time. It has been adapted and adjusted over the years, but is a project highly anticipated by stu-dents every year. A lot of work goes into preparing for the rally each spring. Students must follow the scientific process to write a hypothesis, plan an experiment, select materials and find the densi-ty of each material, choose or create a balloon design, construct the

balloon, test fly, modify, and repeat as necessary. Prototype testing is conducted in Mr. Hance’s shop where he serves as the “Flamemaster”. Without Mr. Hance’s generous and willing partici-pation, this project could not be done. Some years the rally is held in the high school gym due to weather. Just a little morning breeze can wreak havoc on the tis-

sue paper balloons, but this year the weather was perfect. The morning was cool and calm as the students filed out onto the lawn and the balloons flew beautifully. Eleven student lab groups com-peted against each other for the longest flight time.

This year’s results are:

1st place: 3 Musket Balloons with their balloon Lightness at 56 seconds. The group consisted of Wyatt Castagnetto, Nick Hernandez, and Aus-tin Cress.

2nd place: Floaters 101 and their balloon Skittles at 55 seconds. Group members were Natasha May, Nina Rasmussen, and Gabby Ramirez. 3rd place tie: Hot Stuff with their balloon Rosa, and group members Josue Mesillas, Garrison Christianson, Kegan Lenz, and Gabe Thomas; The Warheads with their balloon Puff, Puff, and group members Yomeri Quesada, Jacie Ewart, Angel Nieto-Martinez, and Jake Berry. Both third place balloons flew for a total of 53 seconds. All hot air balloons met the lab requirements of maintaining flight a minimum of 10 seconds. Great job to all of the 6th graders for their ef-forts and success! by Liza Martin

Separation of Church and State

William Orville Douglas was a Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court for 36 years, after

having taught law at Yale and Columbia University.

In the 1952 case of Zorach v. Clauson, Justice Douglas wrote: "The First Amend-ment, however, does not say that in every and all respects there shall be a separation of Church and State...Otherwise the state and religion would be aliens to each other- hostile, suspicious, and even unfriendly..."

Justice Douglas continued: "We are a religious people whose institutions presup-pose a Supreme Being...When the state encourages religious instruction...it follows

the best of our traditions. For it then respects the religious nature of our people and accommodates the public service to their spiritual needs. To hold that it may not would be to find in the Constitution a requirement that the government show a cal-lous indifference to religious groups. That would be preferring those who believe in no religion over those who do believe."

Justice William Douglas concluded: "We find no constitutional requirement which makes it necessary for government to be hostile to religion...We cannot read into the

Bill of Rights such a philosophy of hostility to religion."

COPS 2 A policeman had a per-fect spot to watch for speeders, but wasn't get-ting many. Then, he dis-

covered the problem--a 10-year old boy was standing up the road with a hand painted sign which read "RADAR TRAP AHEAD." The of-

ficer then found a young accomplice down the road with a sign reading "TIPS" and a bucket full

of change.
