Pat O’Malley, owner ofSlash T Rodeo Company said

Twenty-one year old Gilbert Cuellar spent hiswhole life living in the town of Marsing. He graduatedhigh school at Marsing High, married his childhoodsweetheart from Marsing and worked in the smallcommunity. But after graduation, he decided hewould like to travel and see the rest of the world.Little did Cuellar know that traveling would includea tour in the service in war torn Iraq.

Cuellar returned to the states last week after beingstationed in Iraq for seven months. He signed up forthe army in 2000 shortly after he graduated highschool and was stationed with the Third InfantryDivision, Delta Company 13 in Savannah, Georgiaas a helicopter mechanic.

Marsing man witnesses war-torn IraqIn August 2002, Cuellar married Cyndee Cerda.

The couple was only married a few short monthsbefore Cuellar was sent to Iraq in January to fightfor his country.

He said he fully understood the possibility ofwar before he enlisted, but that never expected tosee the sights he saw in the city of Baghdad.

“Poverty,” Cuellar explained. “Every whereyou looked you could see nothing but poverty.There are no trees, water, or grass. Everything issand and dirt. It is crazy how people there canactually live on nothing. There is nothing out there.Miles upon miles of desert. There is nothing but

125th anniversarycelebrated in Silver

City assemblyThe Owyhee Initiative was

the main topic of the 125th

anniversary of the OwyheeCattlemen’s Associationsummer convention in SilverCity Saturday and the membersvoted to continue to supportthe initiative.

This year’s meeting washeld in the Masonic Lodgeinstead of the school housewhere it has been held in yearspast. Renovation effortscontinue on the school house.

Cattlemen President CharlieLyons introduced the board ofdirectors. Chris Johnstone fromthe South Mountain area andRuss Turner from the Bruneauarea were added to the board ofdirectors.

Mike Hanley gave a historyof the 125 years of thecattlemen followed by briefstories from several members.Gene Davis spoke of the earlyyears of the cattlemen’s andsaid the on going battles forcattle ranchers haven’tchanged.

Senator Mike Crapo spoketo the group of the initiativeand the efforts of the workinggroup.

“The past strength andresolve of the OwyheeCattlemen’s Association hasserved the cattle industry welland continues to ensure itsplace in future discussions andissues as we advance over thenext 125 years of public landsgrazing,” Crapo told themembers. “On behalf of theIdaho delegation I want tothank you for all of your greatwork.”

Crapo invited the cattlemento a grazing summit that he andSenator Larry Craig will hostin Boise on August 25 at 9 a.m.at the Boise City Hall Councilchambers.

Chad Gibson and Initiative

Chairman Fred Grant toldcattlemen that work on theinitiative continues andprogress is being made. Granttold the members that non-supporters of the initiative havebeen attempting to damage theeffort, but that the groupcontinues to work long hoursin an attempt for an agreementby early fall.

“The last time I spoke uphere I was going to retire,”Grant said. “But I undertookthis, knowing full well that itwas going to be a long hardjob. I knew the closer we would

get to a decision there wouldbe some bitterness, peoplefighting. I took it for onepurpose and that wasn’t toprotect the motorized vehicleoperators or even to provide amanagement system. It was totry and bring some protectionto the ranchers in OwyheeCounty.

“I want to emphasize thatthe members of the workinggroup looking at the bestinterest of the people of thecounty have hammered out andnow have commitment fromnine of the 10 people of theworking group.

“It provides that when youas the rancher have informationthat is no later than the proteststage in a decision, if youbelieve the information youhave could have an adverseeffect on the decision, you canask for a peer review. Thatreview would be performed bythree natural resource expertswho will review the proposeddecision on the basis of sixquestions written by ChadGibson.

“I am always interestedwhen I hear back that corporateoffices in Boise are urging thatthis thing not be carried

Cattlemen to continue supporting initiative

forward because the cattlemenare getting stabbed in the back.I think of Chad Gibsonstabbing cattlemen in the back.It is kind of ironic.”

Local rancher ConnieBrandau asked the membersof the association to take animmediate vote for thecattlemen to continue tosupport the efforts of theinitiative.

“I move that we vote rightnow to continue to support theefforts,” Brandau said. “Thesepeople are working hard forour livelihood, our futures andchildren’s futures. I move thatwe support them now and inthe future.”

The motion was seconded,several times, and a unanimousvote was taken.

Vice President TonyRichards was presented as the2004 association president toreplace Lyons. Letha Blackwon the snaffle bit donated byBean’s Saddlery of MountainHome. A dinner catered byCaba’s and a dance followedthe day’s meeting.

Aman said four firearmswere removed from the vehicleand a “significant” amount ofmethamphetamine.

During the same afternoonmarijuana was discovered inthe bedroom of a 15 year-oldteen in the Murphy area. Amansaid the report has been sent tothe prosecuting attorney’soffice for review and chargesmay be filed. Aman said theboy lives with his parents andthe case is still underinvestigation. The teen’s namewas not released because he isa juvenile.

Seven people were injuredin separate vehicle accidentslast week. Two of those in-jured were transported to localhospitals by air ambulance andtwo accidents involved alco-hol.

On July 28 Todd Kern, 41of Caldwell was injured in asingle vehicle accident whenhe fell asleep while driving.Kern is the owner of the Gen-eral Store in Murphy. Amansaid he received head injuriesand was treated and released.

At 3:30 a.m. Saturday morn-ing, an accident near Cliff’soutside of Jordan Valley in-volving three individuals wasreported.

Telori Watson, 22 ofCaldwell and her passengersMartin Larsen, 20 of JordanValley and Nichole Floyd 27of Marsing were returning fromswimming at Three Forks hotsprings when Watson report-edly missed a corner and wentoff of the roadway. Aman said

the accident happened twomiles from the Three Forksand Juniper Mountain roadsjunction. Floyd was trans-ported to a local hospital by airambulance and Larsen andWatson received minor inju-ries. The case was turned overto the Malheur CountySheriff’s Office because theaccident happened just insideof the Oregon line.

A spokesman from MalheurSheriff’s Office said alcoholwas determined to be involvedin the accident, but further in-formation was unavailable asthe case is still under investi-gation.

A 16 year-old female wasalso injured in an accident Sat-urday on Hot Creek Road inBruneau. Aman said alcoholwas involved and charges maybe pending. He said she wastransported to a MountainHome hospital where she wastreated and released.

THIS IS A D REC. LEAGUE

The “Wilkins” fire on theIdaho/Nevada border,scorched nearly 4,500 acres ofgrazing ground, private groundand scenic and recreationallands as it burned for threedays before becoming con-tained Wednesday afternoon.

High heat and rolling debrishindered fire crews’ efforts inthe blaze Tuesday, but theywere able to bring the fire to 80percent containment by noonWednesday morning and to fullcontainment by Wednesdayevening.

Holly LeFevre from theBoise Interagency LogisticsCenter said the fire was startedby a lightening strike on Mon-day and was reported at 1:11p.m. It ignited approximatelyone mile west of Murphy HotSprings and burned in ex-tremely steep and rugged can-yon terrain on the south side ofthe Jarbidge River’s East Fork.

“We have a total of 66 per-sonnel on the incident,”LeFevre said. “The Bureau ofLand Management has sent onehelicopter and five engines,two bulldozers, a 20 personhand crew from the Bureau ofIndian Affairs, two enginesfrom the Nevada Division ofForestry, and several BLM fireofficials on the scene.” Shesaid fire retardant drops werealso utilized on July 28.

“The surrounding rough ter-

rain is making access to thenorth side of the fire difficult,”LeFevre explained. “No struc-tures are threatened, but criti-cal bull trout habitat in theJarbidge River, grazing landand scenic and recreationallands are endangered by theblaze.”

LeFevre said a spokesmanfrom the Jarbidge BLM officestated that most of the grazingallotment for Bert Brackett, arancher in the area, burned inthe blaze as well as an undeter-mined amount of his privateland. She said Idaho Poweralso responded to replace sev-eral power poles.

Eight fires were listedthrough the National Inter-agency Fire Center in BoiseWednesday with over 37,000acres burned.

The Oxkiller fire in the Cari-bou-Targhee National Foresthad burned 350 acres and was10 percent contained Wednes-day afternoon and the Andyfire in the Payette NationalForest 30 miles northwest ofWeiser was at 800 acres andzero percent contained. Accessto the Andy fire was limited.

The Hunt Creek Fire in theIdaho Department of Landsnear Priest Lake was 25 per-cent contained and is locatedeight miles northwest ofCoolin.

Nearly 32,000 acres of land

has been burnt this summer inIdaho in the Boise, Salmon-Challis and the Nez Pierce na-tional forests. The largest fireis in the Salmon-Challis Na-tional Forest, the Hot Creekfire at 21,260 acres and was 25percent contained Wednesday.The fire is three miles west ofAtlanta. Occasional torchingand short uphill runs were re-ported and evacuations of iso-lated summer cabins and camp-ers remained in effect. Struc-ture protection is in place for80 residences and 10 commer-cial properties.

The National Multi-AgencyCoordination Group (MAC)establishes Preparedness Lev-els throughout the calendaryear to help assure that

firefighting resources are readyto respond to new incidents.Preparedness Levels are dic-tated by burning conditions,fire activity, and resource avail-ability.

The five Preparedness Lev-els range from I to V, with Vbeing the highest level. EachPreparedness Level has spe-cific management directions.As the Preparedness levels rise,more federal and state employ-ees become available for firemobilization if needed.

The NIFC reported Wednes-day that the national prepared-

Range fire scorches 4,500 acres near Jarbidgeness is at a level five whichmeans that Several GeographicAreas are experiencing majorincidents which have the po-tential to exhaust all agencyfire resources. When 550 crewsare committed nationally, Ca-nadian Liaison and a coordina-tor for military mobilizationare asked to participate in na-tional planning.

rising fuel costs,maintenance costs and cuts infunding, Homedale seniorcitizens have found themselvesin a financial crunch and inneed of a new senior bus andvan.

The current van is a 1990Ford Econoline with over100,000 miles, a failingtransmission and no handicapaccess. It overheats in thesummer with the airconditioner running and onlyheats the front of the van in thewinter months leaving elderlycitizens in the cold in the backtwo rows of the van. Currentlythe van is used three times perweek to bring hot meals toelderly people in the area whocannot get out on their own.Monday, Senior CenterCoordinator Jan Anglin askedthe county to assist the citizenswith the purchase of a new vanor bus. Results of that meetingwere unavailable at press time.

“It used to be true thatfamilies stayed in the same areafor years and elderly parentscould be taken care of by theirchildren and families wouldsee to their needs as they aged,”Anglin said. “But today, it ismuch different. Because of thejob market, most children don’tlive nearby and many times donot even live in the same cityor state as their parents. Soeven though families try to lookafter elderly parents, manyseniors are pretty much on theirown.”

The van is used to deliver“Meals on Wheels” tohomebound elderly people.Homedale serves nearly 400people per month. The van isused on Tuesday, Thursday andFriday and is also used totransport elderly people in thearea to grocery stores, doctorsappointments and to anoccasional trip. But Anglin said

Seniors ask commissioners to help fund new busthe trips have been cut backdue to the poor condition of thecitizen’s van.

“It is terrible,” Anglin saidclimbing into the passengerseat of the van. “Elderly peoplefind it very difficult to even getin here. It is tight and verycramped. If an emergency wasto happen to someone on a trip,I don’t know what the driverwould do to get to them.”

Christine Payne delivers themeals and takes the seniors ontrips. She said she has found itvery difficult to continue takingthe seniors for fear of the vanbreaking down.

“It has transmissionproblems and if it is hot, youhave to turn off the air conditionto pull a hill or it overheats,”Payne said. “It is not built forwheelchair access and peoplein walkers have a very difficulttime getting in and out of thevan.”

Anglin said besides themaintenance costs on thevehicle, the center pays about$100-$200 a month in gas. Shesaid the center loses nearly$1,000 per month on the van.

“The Meals on Wheelsprogram charges each person$3 per hot or cold meal but somany of our seniors can notafford to pay the fee and wewon’t let them go without,”Payne said. “We asked for acell phone just in case the vanbreaks down and we need help,but the agency will only payhalf of the cost for it, so I paythe rest out of my pocket so theseniors will be safe.”

The van has double doorson the side for access, but thepassengers must climb over thewheelwell to reach the seat inthe back. Payne said Anglinhas canceled some of theupcoming planned tripsbecause of the unsafe

conditions of the vehicle.“Some of my seniors are on

walkers and they can’t get upover the wheelwell to get to theback seat,” Payne said. “Theywant to go on these trips. Forsome of the seniors it is theonly time they are able to get

out and travel.”Anglin said the center needs

to collect approximately$12,000 for matching funds fora grant the center will be ableto get for the van. She said thata bus is also needed to transportseniors on longer trips.

Correction to irrigation

fee tax increase articeIn an article published last week, “Council holds public

hearing for irrigation fees increase,” it was incorrectly statedthat the increase would be $10 per month. The council will holda public hearing to increase the irrigation tax by $10 per year anda one-percent increase in the tax per year for the following fiveyears.

Homedale Mayor Hap Duryee said the public notice does notinclude the one percent increase because it is not a three percentor more increase. He said with the proposed increase, he currentlypays approximately $63 per year for irrigation on his property.He said that next year he would pay $73 for the year.

“Everybody has an irrigation tax, all of the users,” Duryeesaid Monday. “Like me, I don’t have irrigation, but I get taxedfor it every year. Every user will be charged an additional $10 forthe first year and one percent will be added each year for fiveyears.”

Duryee said the irrigation fund is not holding its own in thecity budget and a $10 increase is small compared to surroundingarea irrigation costs.

User revenue in 2002 was at $64,500. In 2003 the revenueincreased to $65,000 and with the proposed increase the city willbring in $73,400 in revenue.

General fund support for 2002 was listed at $10,000. In fiscalyear 2003, $8,00 was budgeted for general fund support, butDuryee said in the up coming proposed budget, only $2,500 willhave to come from the general fund support.

The public hearing will be held at city hall on August 13, at7:15 p.m. Duryee said that the increase would be added to nextyear’s tax if it passes.

a few of the things that will be on display at the Owyhee CountyFair from the 4-H Outreach program in Grand View.

Activities are winding down and getting ready for display atthe Owyhee County Fair in Homedale this week. Special Outreachdisplays in the 4-H exhibit hall will be on exhibition.

The children of Grand View have had a busy and fun yearlearning about many new things to display.

The program gives children an opportunity to participate in avariety of 4-H projects without having to actually fulfill thejudging requirements or doing a demonstration or talk. Theywork as a group on the projects that are offered or do one of theirown.

As a group they make the display that will be entered in thefair. The program is even able to go to an individual’s home andwork with a family on a special 4-H activity. Participants maychose to actually join the county’s 4-H program and enter aproject for judging even if they worked on it in the Outreachprogram.

Since September, 13 different 4-H Outreach projects havebeen offered in the Grand View area. Approximately 350children under 18 years of age have participated in one or moreof the projects. Outreach Advisor Kathy Chick said it is aflexible program worth being involved in whether as an instructoror a participator.

Eases Arthritis

Pain OCALA, FL -- An ingredient de-rived from hot peppers that de-creases inflammation in racehorse'slegs, is now recognized as safe andeffective for human use. The ingre-dient has been formulated into aproduct called ARTH-Rx™andcomes in a strength designed forhumans. Researchers are excitedand say the formula can relieve ar-thritis pain for millions. Developed by the Phillips GulfCorporation, ARTH-Rx is a break-through in the treatment of painfuldisorders ranging from minor achesand pains to more serious condi-tions such as arthritis, bursitis, rheu-matism, tendonitis, backache andmore. Although the mechanism bywhich ARTH-Rx works to relievepain is not totally clear, scientistssuggest that pain is relieved becauseARTH-Rx intercepts the messen-ger substance that sends pain sig-nals to the brain. ARTH-Rx isavailable in a convenient roll-on ap-plicator without a prescription. Ac-cording to a spokesperson for thecompany, due to the overwhelmingdemand for ARTH-Rx, suppliesare sometimes limited. ARTH-Rxcan also be ordered by calling 1-800-729-8446. www.hcdsales.com

Game managers from theIdaho Department of Fish andGame are now crafting a newwhite-tailed deer managementplan with statewide emphasis.Anyone with an interest in thisgraceful deer species canprovide input for the plan via asurvey available on Fish andGame’s web site.

To complete the survey, logonto Fish and Game’s web site(www2.state.id.us/fishgame),click on “what’s new” and then“new additions.” “You’ll needabout 10 minutes to completethe survey,” Fish and Gamewildlife manager Jon Rachaelnoted.

New deer management plan in the worksThe current white-tailed

deer management plan dealsonly with the primary range ofwhitetails in the state (thatportion north of the SalmonRiver). “We were directed bythe Fish and GameCommission to come up with a

more comprehensive,statewide plan,” Rachael said,“one that deals with severalmanagement issues regardingwhitetails.” Increasing white-tailed deer populations insouthern Idaho, depredationconcerns and hunter trespass/

access issues are just some ofthe factors to be used indeveloping the new plan.“Survey participants have theopportunity to weigh in onthese issues,” Rachael said.

The survey has already beensent to 2,000 randomly selected

deer hunters across the state.“Still, we wanted to giveeveryone with an interest inwhitetails a chance to provideinput and help develop a long-term white-tailed deermanagement plan,” Rachaelsaid.

desert.”Cuellar’s unit was one of

the first units to enter Baghdadin the early days of the war. Hesaid the sights wereoverwhelming, but that is abetter person for theexperience.

“It is necessary,” Cuellarstated. “We need to be there.Those people were so gratefulto us for what we were doing.People would come out of theirhomes, shake our hands, andhug us. The majority of thepeople wanted us there.”

Cuellar said his firstexperience in Iraq was a 72-

hour drive to Baghdad Airportfrom Kuwait, a 200-milejourney.

“Our convoy commanderfelt that if we stayed onHighway 1, the main road toBaghdad, we were not going tobe targets,” Cuellar recalled.“It wasn’t fun at all. We werepassing other convoys whenwe got back to the pavedhighway. What we didn’t knowwas we passed other convoys

who were supposed to be infront of us. So we had to stopso were weren’t targets again.”

He said the helicopters heworks on were the ones to firethe first shot of the war.

“The woman who wascaptured in the beginning ofthe war was in a convoy justahead of our convoy,” Cuellarexplained. “They wereattacked and she was takenprisoner. It is scary, but youpush the fear back. You can’tbe scared or you will makemistakes. You can’t makemistakes.

“When we got into Baghdadeverywhere you looked werestatues and pictures of Saddam.He has stuff about him postedeverywhere.

“I think he is alive. The onlyreason I say that is because Ihave not seen him dead. It is areal letdown because we havenot gotten him yet. We didwhat we went over there for:to stop the regime. It makesyou feel good about what wehave done, because the peopleappreciate it. The people thatare there are now free. I couldnot believe how many childrenwe saw.

“Half of the peoplesurrendered. They did not wantto fight us. We barely crossedthe border going into Iraq fromKuwait. We were stopped rightbefore the Cabala Gap becauseof the fighting on the first dayof the war. We could hear themissiles and the explosions.”

Cuellar said from what hehas been told, the ThirdInfantry Division is notscheduled to return to Iraq. Hesaid right now all he wants todo is enjoy being home withhis wife and his family.

He returned to the statesearlier this month. He andCyndee will spend two weeksin Marsing before going backto Savannah, Georgia

“We will get him(Saddam),” Cuellar stated. “Iknow we will get him. He canrun, but he can’t hide.”

GOOD TEMPLARS. We have beenthinking of joining this temperance orga-nization, but after hearing the experienceof an unfortunate victim who was inveigledinto the lodge, have come to the conclu-sion that we are physically unable to un-dergo the process of initiation. He says thevictim for initiation is first blind folded,bound hand and foot, and then thrown intoa cider press and squeezed five or tenminutes. This is done for the purpose ofcleansing his system of all ‘old drinks’. Heis then taken out of the cider press, and bymeans of a force pump, gorged with cis-tern water, after which sealing plaster isput over his mouth and he is rolled in abarrel four or five times across the room,the choir at the same time singing the coldwater song. He is then taken out of thebarrel and hung up by the heels until thewater runs out through his ears; then he iscut down and a beautiful lady hands him a

glass of ice water. A cold water bath isthen furnished him, after which he is show-ered with cistern water. He is then made toread aloud the articles of incorporationand by-laws of the Water Company, tentimes, drinking a glass of cistern waterbetween each reading; after which “TheOld Oaken Bucket” is sung and hunground his neck, while fifteen sisters withsquirt-guns deluge him with cistern wa-ter. He is then forced to eat two pounds ofice cream, while the brothers fill his earsfull of powdered ice. Then he is run througha patent clothes-wringer, after which he ishanded a glass of water and his boots arefilled with the same, and he is laid away ina refrigerator. After remaining in the re-frigerator half an hour he is taken out, runthrough a clothes-wringer, takes the wholelodge down to Morrill’s soda fountain,stands treat, and becomes a Good Templar.We intend to stick to our gin and bitters.

Editor’s notebook On the edge ofcommon sense

Baxter Black, DVM

In a few weeks the proposed Owyhee Initiative plan will bepresented to the county commissioners. It’s been two years in themaking.

Here’s a little background on how and why the plan was conceived: The county commissioners began the concept to secure protection

of the economic stability of the livestock industry and thereby securingthe stability of the county’s economy. The livestock industry has beenunstable, due in part to the lack of security of grazing rights, waterrights, unscientific management rules, etc. The uncertainty in the future

in the Wilderness Study Areas was a part of thisfrustration. Endless BLM action, dead-end reviews inthe District Court, and expensive defense costs wereburdens the ranchers were experiencing.

The threat of a national park, which had alreadybeen dubbed “Owyhee Canyonlands National Park” –which would have locked up and closed down overhalf the county – was within a stroke of the pen ofbecoming a reality by the Clinton gang. That threat isstill there, unless action is taken.

The commissioners approached the concept to draft a plan with themuster to become law through congress. They reached some conclu-sions: it would have to be a broad-based plan, signed on by ranchers,environmentalists, and recreationists. They were convinced that nolegislation would have a chance of passage unless there was somewilderness. They also knew that the long, drawn-out “study” of theWilderness Study Areas must be concluded and issues resolved. Therehad to be some process to assure sound scientific review of BLMdecisions. They knew, too, that the interests of recreationists must beaddressed for acceptance.

From the beginning the board made it clear to all the interestedparties that it would not sign on to any plan which did not protect thecattle industry and the economic stability of county ranchers. Andanyone who couldn’t accept that requirement need not participate. Thatwas the basis of the plan’s concept.

The work group, comprised of about a dozen people from everyinterest, has spent over two years working on a way to accommodate allusers of the federal lands in Owyhee County. The very idea that thesefolks with their broad diverse interests can reach a concensus is anaccomplishment within itself.

There’s been criticism about the “Owyhee Initiative” plan; that thepublic has not been involved, that the plan is being drafted behindclosed doors, etc. (There’s probably someone out there who claims it’sall a communist conspiracy, too.) The meetings were set and publicizedat the start of the project. Anytime there’s been changes in thatschedule, these, too, have been published. It’s been handled just likeany budget working meeting, etc., and meets the criteria of Idaho’sopen meetings law.

We’ll take a “wait and see” approach. When the plan is formulatedwe will have something to study. And we will share our informationwith our readers as soon as we get it.

We’ll wait.’til we see it

The petting zooIn the next county over they are experiencing the incursion of urban

development. In other words, business is booming! Sprawl, malls, con-crete, traffic, crime, and the herd mentality reigns.

Country people still populate the fringes and the county fair is function-ing and vibrant, despite the annual attacks of people who dislike it. Someof these people are well meaning, some have an agenda, but it is fair to say,most have no real experience or connection to livestock.

I called a man who had written a particularly scathing letter to theeditor. We had a civil discussion. He was a well-spoken, sensitive man andmade two points; that the petting zoo is inhumane and it was heartwrenching when a little girl had to sell her show hog. I agreed with both.I have, on occasion, manned the petting zoo myself and felt inhumanelytreated. Then again, I’ve never been good at daycare or helping with littlekids at school. I just can’t yell that long.

He, of course, thought the little lambs, pigs, burros,puppies, kittens, calves and ducklings were beingtortured. All manner of ruly and unruly urban childrenwere chasing, petting, touching, carrying, kissing andhugging the cuddly critters. Their laughing and child-ish joy was no doubt frightening to the little animals.

But one of the jobs of the people on “petting zooduty” is to prevent any harm, which we do well. Thepoint of the whole project is to lend reality to animalsthat most urban kids know only as stuffed toys, ani-mated talking cartoons, or reduced images on a TV

screen. There is wonderment in their discovery and we hope, a beginningof respect for the animal kingdom they could never get watching The LionKing.

Regarding the little girl’s tears over the sale of her pig, we in the realworld of livestock, know it first hand. It is part of our life. When mydaughter was eleven, she was showing her dear urban aunt her rabbits. Theaunt was holding a cute little bunny and asked my daughter what she doeswith them. When they reach five pounds we butcher them for the grocerystore.” How can you do that!” Auntie gasped! And with the wisdom of achild she said, I don’t make friends with them.”

But we do, now and then. Make friends, I mean. A loyal cow, a gooddog, an orphan lamb, a bottle calf, a trustworthy horse. We devote time andcare to them, and they respond. A bond is formed. But it is a relationshipwherein we know the final outcome. We accept it as their lot in life.Knowing their fate may be the strongest factor in creating the respect wefeel for them as individuals.

It would be nice to think at a petting zoo somewhere this summer, a newworld will be opened for some little human. A feeling stirred in some 4-year-old heart. The wet nose of a calf, or the softness of a little chick, thatcould transcend Star Wars, Barney, Legos, Barbie and Pop Tarts, andrestore in them our ancient connection to the real Earth.

Bring yer kids. We do.


Letters to the editor

Commentary

I read Meril Ebbers letter in last week’s paper and found it interestingthat he had no real solutions to the problems that the Initiative is workingon for two years. He also tries to give the impression that all motorizedrecreation in Owyhee County is done responsibly and should continuewithout restriction. If he really believes that, he hasn’t been looking at theever-increasing damage that is being done by motorcycles and ATV’s inthe area around Murphy. I’ve been watching it for 7 years now. Thedamage is significant, it increases with every weekend’s invasion ofmotorized recreation users, and it is going to have long-term adverseeffects on this area.

I support what the Commissioners and the Initiative are trying to do tofind workable solutions for those of us who live here as well as for thosewho visit.

Becky DesmondMurphy

After reading Meril Ebbers’ letter in the last issue, I just had to write andpoint out the many wrong ideas that he and some others have about whatis going on in the Owyhees and with the Initiative. Meril has criticized theInitiative but has not proposed any solution of his own. He says in his lastsentence, “There has to be a better way.” but in the preceding sixparagraphs he did not offer a single workable solution to the problems thatare being addressed in the Initiative. His letter is all rhetoric and compliantabout the Initiative Work group, a group that has been working hard on realsolutions.

Meril’s letter claims that the People for the Owyhees and the ranchersprevented Clinton from creating a monument here. That thought is great forour morale but simply isn’t true. As he proved in Utah and Grand StaircaseEscalante, Clinton was quite comfortable in ignoring the desires of localpeople and their elected officials at county, state, and national levels. Wedodged the monument bullet here not because of the People for theOwyhees but through a disagreement within the Clinton administration.We won and Montana’s Missouri Breaks lost.

Meril wants to avoid designating wilderness by creating instead a“backcountry” designation. If you ignore, for the benefit of this argument,that all the players in the Initiative knew that wilderness designation waspart of the package, players including the People for the Owyhees repre-sentative Sandra Mitchell, then you still have to deal with the fact that thereis not currently a category of land designated by the Congress as“backcournty.” Attempting to establish one would make the creation of theCongressional Act proposed by the Initiative far more difficult andunlikely to be successfully enacted. Meril claims that the Initiative would,by designating 450,000 acres as wilderness, lock up those lands fromresponsible recreationists who have used them for years. Again, he fails topoint out several key issues such as the simultaneous release of 450,000acres of current Wilderness Study Area (WSA) and the fact that asignificant number of motorized recreationists that come to our county are

Meril Ebbers letter to the editor claims that “outside interests” arecontrolling the development of the Owyhee Initiative. Members of theInitiative Work Group such as Inez Jaca, Chad Gibson, Ted Hoffman,Cindy Bachman, Brenda Richards, and Frank Bachman are not what Iwould consider “outside interests”. Each of them represents local organi-zation such as the Owyhee Cattlemen’s Association, the Owyhee Border-lands Trust, the Owyhee County Soil Conservation Districts, the OwyheeNatural Resource Committee and countless individuals whose interest arefar from “outside”.

Each of these stakeholders, as well as the others they represent, has adirect interest in the outcome of this initiative process. They are at the tableprotecting our livelihoods. These members of the Work Group control fourcritical votes, without which nothing can be enacted. Without a Congres-sional solution such as the Owyhee Initiative, the alternative of an OwyheeNational Monument will put an end to all of our interests.

Brad HuffGuffey

Ebbers offers no solutions

Direct interest in outcome

not behaving responsibly and those individuals are causing very obviousdamage to the land and the resource.

If BLM was managing and enforcing use as specified in the OwyheeResource Area Management Plan (RMP) and under the interim manage-ment rules for WSA’s Meril’s groups would have already found them-selves tossed out of more than one million acres within Owyhee Countythat are either WSA or areas already closed to motorized use under theOwyhee RMP. Under the current draft of the Initiative proposal, his groupwould get back the legal use of 450,000 acres of released WSA and wouldget the benefit of an effective transportation and recreation plan that willhelp keep the access his group is asking for. As a last point, Meril claimsthat “outside interests” are controlling this plan. Again, not true.

This plan, which is being created with a lot of local involvement andsupport, will ultimately go to the County Commissioners for their decisionon whether to pass it to Senator Crapo for action in the Congress. If theCommissioners don’t see the proposal as beneficial to the needs andinterest of the people of Owyhee County and to the economy of the county,I’m confident that they will stop it at their level. Senator Crapo hasrepeatedly made it clear that he will not propose any congressional actionthat is not supported by the County Commissioners. If Meril is reallyconcerned about “outside interests” controlling what happens in theOwyhees he should ask his People of the Owyhees representative whycorporate interest like Albertson’s are working against the Initiative at theCongressional level.

Statements challenged

Just the facts . . .by Officer Mike Spagnola

Let’s talk about summer safety. Summer is in full swing and thekids have lots of time on their hands and lots of ways to get them selvesin an unsafe situation. Here are some reminders for parents regardinggeneral safety ideas for children. Children playing with animalsshould be supervised. Teach kids to play gently with pets, especiallydogs. Kids should not approach unfamiliar dogs or try to pet a dog thatthey do not know. Irrigation ditches. We all know the dangers there.STAY AWAY from them...ALWAYS. Teach your kids about firesafety. Never let them play with matches. Try to keep lighters andmatches out of the reach of curious hands.For mild burns, immersing the injury incold water will help with some of the pain.For more serious burns, medical help it best.Speak with your children about what to doif a fire starts in your home. Have exitsplanned and have a place where every onecan meet once safely outside. Keep yourhousehold chemicals such as cleaning flu-ids and bleach out of reach. Lock up medi-cines and other dangerous chemicals. Teachyour kids never to touch a gun. Tell them totell an adult if they find one. If you ownfirearms, keep them locked away and out of reach. Talk to your kidsabout drugs. Let them know that there are good drugs and bad drugs.Do not let kids fly kites in a storm and never near power lines. Neverleave your children, even for “a moment” in a car alone. Smallchildren cannot stand heat as well as adults and death or serious injurycan occur very quickly. Always use seat belts and approved childsafety seats when driving with your children. You buckle up too.Warn your children about strangers. Talk to kids and tell them neverto go near a stranger’s car. Remember: There is no reason for an adultto ask for directions or help from a kid. Teach kids that Police are thereto help, we are not what they see on T.V. or in video games. In anemergency, remain calm. If you are calm, your child will be lessfrightened. Keep a list of emergency phone numbers near the phone.Teach your children the proper use of 911 calls. Encourage your kidsto think before they act. (We adults could use that same advice toosometimes!) Show respect for your children’s feelings and develop adialogue with them so that they will feel comfortable in telling youwhen something is wrong. Thanks and enjoy the rest of the summer.

Cattlemen, politicians,party-goers crowd Silver CityCattlemen, politicians, and all the interested public

packed historic Silver City this weekend to help theOwyhee Cattlemen’s Association celebrate their 100th

anniversary.Guest celebrities arrived by helicopter for the day

of events Saturday, and included Gov. John Evans,National Director of the BLM Frank Gregg, andPresident Dick McDougal of the National Cattlemen’sAssociation. The speakers were escorted downtownin an original stagecoach driven by Mike Hanley, andwere accompanied by reigning queen of theconvention Emiline Nettleton and Mildretta Adams,who was introducing her recently published book“100 Years in the Saddle”, dedicated to the OwyheeCattlemen’s centennial celebration.

And quite a celebration it was. A buffet featuringroast beef and lots of cold beer encouraged visitors tothe convention, some of whom came from adjoiningstates as well as statewide, to hear guests tell past andpresent problems of and pay tribute to the group.

Committee discusses option of districtThursday, July 27, the Marsing Citizens Advisory

Committee met to discuss options for the Marsingschool district to relieve a classroom shortage.Chairman Roger Howard presided over the groupdiscussion. Options discussed by the group were:Building more classrooms, possible consolidationwith a neighboring school district, year-round schoolsessions and split shift sessions.

A building program would have to consider thebonding capacity of the district at $1,031,000. Aplanned school and gym facility that was submittedto the district last year could not be reconsideredbecause of escalated building costs. A new planwould have to be developed.

A consolidation effort was strongly supported bythe group as a viable option for future growth as wellas alleviating stress should the 1 percent tax limitationbecome law in Idaho.

A year round school program would contain fouracademic quarters of the total student body would bein session at anytime. Students would attend school45 days and have 15 days off. This would total 180school days and 60 vacation days each year.

The split-shift program would schedule schoolfrom 7a.m. to noon and 1p.m. until 5p.m. State codesdetermine that kindergarten children must attend 2 1/2 hours learning time, grades 1-3, 4 1/4 hours, grades4-6, 5 hours learning time.

Post office still openThe future of Oreana’s new post office is still up in

the air, according to Postal Service officials, althoughthe agency, asked to close the doors permanentlyApril 21, remains open for business.

Almost 80 citizens attended a public hearing inOreana recently in protest of the post office’s closure.Citizens appeared concerned at the loss of the town’spostmark and their “identity as a community.” Twopetitions were signed by 55 residents to remind thePostal Service that having a post office outside oftown is certainly better than not having one at all. Thepost officehas moved from the center of Oreana to alocation 4 1/2 miles outside of town in March as aresult of the sale of the old building to new owners.

Bruneau bulletinsHot temperatures in the valley according to the

official government thermometer, kept by PeggyKing in Bruneau, the mercury reached a high of 103degrees on Sunday and then went up to 105 degreeson Monday. A low recorded on each of those twodays was a welcome and pleasant 55 degrees.
