Roots & Vines: a very successful celebration!
Jeannette Mayer receives service award
Saturday’s 1st Annual Roots & Vines
celebration was designed to recognize recent
successes in local economic development,
and the event itself was a great success! The
7th Son Vineyards was a wonderful location,
as guests strolled along, sampling wines
from Eagle Knoll and Carmela wineries,
topping off baked potatoes with an amazing
assortment of things, and enjoying the
rousing bluegrass music of the Buckhorn
Mountain Boys.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14, 2006
Ron Wrest from Payette County Economic Development welcomed everyone to Roots & Vines and expressed
his pleasure at recent developments.
The Silent Auction presented a wide variety
of items to bid on, and the bidding was
generous, since all proceeds from the event
will benefit local business development.
Ron Wrest from Payette County Economic
Development declared he no longer feels
like the neglected “Maytag Repairman,” due
to the upsurge in economic development,
and Tom Laird, plant manager from Blue
Sky Biodiesel, updated the group on the new
plant in New Plymouth’s business park, the
first biodiesel plant in the state.

Volunteers really “Paint the Town”
Our “Paint The Town” project was a great
success. Starting on June 5, people began the
prep work on DeAnn Braun’s home, ending
the week on Saturday, June 10, with the final
painting.
We had 7 Kiwanians and 10 community
members volunteer their time to paint
DeAnn’s home and stain her deck. Three of
the Coffee Hour ladies provided lunch for all
those hard workers, who donated a combined
33 hours of fun giving back to community.
DeWayne and Jeannette Mayer would like to
personally thank all those who helped make
this event possible: The “Paint The Town”
Organization out of Boise for the painting
supplies; Franklin Lumber in Fruitland for
donating the deck stain/sealant; Kenny &
Keele in Ontario for brushes to stain the deck; DeAnn Braun’s newly-painted home with its freshly-stained deck is a

Our Guest Speaker was Linda Albers from Sunbeam
Farms, discussing Community Supported Agriculture
(CSA), a program that offers an opportunity for families
and individuals to subscribe to a share of locally-grown
produce. CSA is a direct partnership between the
consumer and the farmer, and the consumer shares the
risks with the farmer.
Before growing season begins, the members pay a
subscription fee, and in exchange receive a share of
the produce grown that season. At Sunbeam Farms,
the goal is to continue the tradition of the family farm,
establish a sustainable system and use environmentally
sound methods to grow healthful, nutritious food. They
do not use harmful pesticides, herbicides or synthetic
fertilizers.
Benefits of belonging to a CSA include:
•A weekly harvest share of fresh vegetables, fruits and
herbs delivered to a pick-up sight convenient to you (or
for an additional fee, they deliver to your door)
from a nearby orchard. The fruit deliveries begin in
late June and include cherries, apricots, peaches, pears
and apples. The season will consist of 22 weeks of
deliveries from late May through mid-October. They
offer full shares (enough for a family of 4), half shares
(for two adults) and single shares. Sunbeam’s future
plans are to create a nice walkway through the gardens
and a meditation orchard in the center.
•A newsletter to keep you informed of activities at the Currently Linda does not cover this section of the

VON CONTINUES
By Von Gail Hamilton from her Dec 2004 book ON LEAVING
I’ll start today with another story about Ardyth. Hazel McKinnon would pick her up
now and then and take her to evening church with her brood. When she brought Ardy
back to our apartment before heading home, she was smiling as if she had something
to tell me that she couldn’t repeat in front of Ardy. She phoned a little later and this
is the story she related. You have to picture a four year old. Hazel told me Ardy was
sitting on her lap and had her arms folded on the pew in front of her, her chin resting
on her arms. The sermon tonight was DULL and LONG. People were getting restless.
Ardy breathed an audible sigh and blurted quite loudly, “OH, PLEASE BE QUIET!”
The preacher looked at his watch and admitted he’d talked too long. The closing
hymn and prayer were all that remained. Several people patted Ardy on top of her
curls as they left. She had said what many had thought. I was glad Hazel and I had
both insisted she always say “please be quiet” instead of “SHUT UP.”
Well, I told you last week that I was pregnant. It was still a time when women hid
their “condition.” Ardy was with us and it was such fun. Short had earlier decided
I should use my money for whatever I wanted to buy for the baby, and he would
support the household on his money. It worked out OK until I ran out of my savings
from A & P. He began leaving me a couple of dollars each day so I could shop for
groceries at the corner store. One day I bought a magazine for 25 cents. I was told
that evening, in no uncertain terms, that we didn’t NEED a magazine. I shrugged. I’d
go to the library when I wanted something to read. Daddy also began bringing me
paperbacks by the peck basket full.
It was an uneventful pregnancy. Near my due date we sent Ardy to Hazel’s until the
birth and recovery were completed. Short had been staring at my expanding abdomen
with a worried frown on his face. One evening I scolded, “Go to Higg’s Inn. Stop
staring. I’m not going to explode. I’m fine.” He grinned sheepishly. “I know. I’ve
seen plenty of births on the farm. SPLURT and it’s all over.” I hoped he was teasing.
The sparkle in his eye proved me right. He called his buddy, Bill Taylor, and they
took off. I walked over to a neighbor’s house. We watched Milton Berle and a couple
of other shows until 10 p.m. I went home, showered and went to bed. It wasn’t long
before I realized I shouldn’t have urged the guys to go out. By the time they returned,
I knew it was time to go to the hospital, and was grateful it was just around the corner
from our apartment.
I was rushed to the delivery room without the customary prep. Tommy Paul was born
within 45 minutes after I’d realized I was in labor. One of the nurses asked me later
what I thought of my new son. My reply was, “Give him a cigar and he’ll look just like
Edward G. Robinson from the gangster movies.” Fortunately, it only took a week for
his head to shape up into a normal-looking babe. He’d wanted to get born really fast
and got squished in the process.
Another story about my Ardy. She used a white crayon generously on the dark-colored
bathroom door. A bucket of soapy water was supplied, and I sat on the edge of the
bed for the long time it took her to scrub off the offending marks. In retaliation, she
went outside the next day and decorated the green door frame and picture window sill
with a black crayon. Out came the scrub bucket again, and this time everyone in the
neighborhood got to watch this mean mother supervising the cleanup crew. The crew’s
name was Ardy. It began to rain, but she was instructed to continue scrubbing until I
was satisfied it was clean. Then I took my little girl into the apartment to dry off. That
was the end of her home-decorating career.
Short and Bill Taylor had joined in a steel-hauling business. I can’t say partnered. We
had no money to invest. Bill bought a ratty old truck and Short and his brother, John,
would be the drivers. Between the three of them, they could keep the truck on the road
around the clock. The truck, however, had other ideas. Youngstown, Ohio, Wheeling,
West Virginia, and Midland, Pennsylvania, were all steel towns, and they were sure
they would make a killing. Old trucks, however, seem to have a mind of their own.
Thinking up a good business while seated on a bar stool and operating a good business
resulted in too many operating and repair expenses. It didn’t last long. We were on the
verge of destitute. All the money was being funneled into keeping that pitiful truck on
the road. Another move had to take place.
Von Gail Hamilton was born in Ohio and lived in Utah and Arizona before moving to
Idaho seven years ago. Her weekly contributions to the New Plymouth News began
in August 2004, with a “thank-you” from her blind dachshund, Junior, who appreciated
the kindness of his New Plymouth neighbors. Junior addressed the community for
about 26 weeks. When he ran out of material, Von began publishing excerpts from the
many books she has written. She has submitted more than 90 columns. And so Von
continues...

NEW PLYMOUTH NEWS Coach’s Review
WEATHER FORECAST
Weds., Jun 14
By Dallas Huffman,
SaberCats Head Coach
Partly Cloudy 75°/54° 20 %
Thurs., Jun 15
To all those out there that have followed the Sabercats
throughout this very trying year: I would like to thank
you for all the support you have given us. It is my
hope that next year we will be able to have even more
of a fan base in New Plymouth, Idaho. I would like to
extend a personal invitation to all those surrounding
communities, to join New Plymouth in taking part in a
new tradition in supporting your Snake River Sabercats.
As far as this past Saturday’s game, with the Vipers of
Davis, Utah, we did what we could with the personnel
that we had. As you all know, we have slowly been
depleting in numbers. And it has really taken its toll on
my players. For the last 4 games, I have anywhere from
14-18 players take part in our games.
Well, this last Saturday was no different, except we
ended up traveling to Utah with a mere 14 players. We
had 2 of those players play receiver, which they were
not used to. And our starting fullback, ended up starting
at QB, since our first string Quarterback didn’t make
the trip with us. The guys really made an effort to play
with all their heart. They did what I have asked them to
all season, and that was give me 100% during the game.
They did that as well.
For the past 5 weeks, they have had no problem
proving to me, their fans, their family and the rest of
the Rocky Mountain Football League, that it isn’t about
winning or losing....it is all about respect and pride.
These guys have surely earned the respect from the
league, and most of all from me, their head coach. Even
though we came back from Utah, being handed an ugly
defeat, we came back with our heads held high. I am
in no way disappointed in their performance at all. Not
from the game on Saturday, or even the past 5 weeks.
How can you be? They have given it their all, and I
mean ALL. What more can you ask for?
For the past 5 weeks we have really come together as
a team. We have discovered a lot about each other, as
individuals and as a team. And the most important factor
that I have noticed as a coach is this: That no matter
who we play, where we play, or even the outcome of our
play...we play together...win, lose or draw. Right now
I have a core of players that consists of 17 players that
have committed to returning next year. I will take this
core of 17 and match them against any 17 in the league
any day, and we will prevail. With these 17, and the ones
that will be coming on next year, we should have a pretty
good size squad to start the 2007 season.

As far as the season of 2006? We didn’t really improve
on our win-loss record during the regular season.
However, we were able to defeat the Idaho Matadors, a
team that went AAA this year. a team that destroyed us
twice last year. So we were able to attain some revenge,
if I dare say so. We did have a rough season...losing 6
of our top players from both sides of the ball. But I will
not elaborate on this as this is old news....water under the
bridge, you can say. What I will say is this....that because
of that event....my team has been able to find themselves
and discover where the true commitment lies amongst
the remaining players. And I promise this...they will use
this knowledge to carry it into next season. You will all
see a much-improved team next year. We will be more
physical, more dedicated, more in numbers, and more
committed than even before.
In closing, as the Head Coach of the Sabercats, I
would like to thank the town of New Plymouth, Idaho,
for the support they gave us during this season. I would
especially like to thank Scott Moscrip for giving us the
opportunity to continue to be a part of history in this
small town. I would also like to thank him for allowing
me to fulfill a lifelong dream in doing this these past 2
years, and I look forward to being a part of this great
organization for many years to come. And to all my

players that “Never Quit” when the going got rough, I
know there were a lot of you that wanted to, but I am so
glad you didn’t. It has been such an honor to be a part of
your lives. You all have taught me a great deal, not just
about the game of football, but also about the game of
life. It will be my honor and privilege to take the core of
players that I have left, and do my best to turn them into
Champions for next year.
I would also like to thank my Defensive Coordinator
and close friend, Robbie.....you know who you are.
Thanks, man...for everything. I really couldn’t have done
it alone this year. You have been there all the time, and
I look forward to having you by my side next year. And
with you and me working hand in hand....we will turn
this team around, and in doing so...we will turn a lot of
heads in the RMFL.
That’s all from the Coach’s Corner....till next season...or
sooner, maybe. GO SABERCATS!!!

NEW PLYMOUTH NEWS Payette County Museum guards local history
Carefully archived across from Payette’s Central Park are
artifacts from the cities of Payette, Fruitland, and New
Plymouth, all housed in the Payette County Museum.
The museum building itself is pretty
historical, since
its cornerstone
reads “Methodist
Episcopal Church
– 1904” and all the
original stained
glass has been
preserved.
The museum’s
history begins in
the 1970s, when
the Payette County

Through yard sales
and other fundraisers, society members accumulated

for three hours each Sunday. In 2000, after a change of
leadership, a board of directors was established and the
museum hours were expanded.
Under the careful guardianship of Coordinator Ann
Curtis, the museum is now open Wednesday through
Saturday, from 12 noon until 4 pm, or by appointment.
There is no charge for admission, though donations are
accepted gladly. Otherwise, funding comes from Payette
County and occasional grants.
The museum’s collection includes Native American
artifacts and memorabilia from the Civil War, World War
II & II, and beyond. The photo collection includes photos
of Payette, Fruitland, and New Plymouth, all circa 1910,
as well as photos of the first New Plymouth businessman
and the Tuttle Blacksmith shop.
Payette County once had two additional towns --French,
near Willow Creek, and Crystal, near the Payette/Washington county border, where only a fruitstand remains.
Ann is eager to find any material relating to those towns.
Her other goals include setting up a research center, and
area residents are encouraged to share anything historical
they turn up in their personal genealogical searches – or
grandma’s attic!
An interesting series of windowed displays downstairs
showcases “the good old days,” from a truly terrifying
dental office to a retail store and telephone company.
But Ann takes special pride in the 1861 bronze Confederate Civil War cannon, a “6-pounder,” that shot 6-pound
projectiles. It is one of the rarest surviving Civil War
cannon, the only known surviving cannon from A.M.
Paxton & Co. of Vicksburg, Mississippi. The cannon was
purchased for Payette by the Grand Army of the Republic
organization in 1912-15 and displayed in Central Park
until it was moved into the museum.
Funds are now being raised to build an appropriate
carriage for the heavy cannon, which will cost more than
$10,000. Checks for that effort can be made payable to “
PCHS Cannon Fund” and mailed to PCHS, PO Box 696,
Payette, ID 83661.
This year the museum joined forces with the Idaho Hall
of Fame in honoring the “Payette County Achievers, ”
three-fourths of whom also belong to the Idaho Hall of
Fame. The special stage set up for that event remains
now as a separate display
Regular events at the museum include the annual visit
from Santa Claus, when the jolly fellow heads right to
the museum after he turns on the holiday lights downtown. Children and their families are invited to join him
there to warm up and enjoy refreshments, surrounded by
antique toys. The building, which can seat 50 for dinner,
has also hosted gatherings for professional groups, family reunions, and a wedding. Ann is happy to conduct
tours for groups or schools. In fact, 300 Payette children

IDAHO FISH & GAME NEWS
Salmon Anglers Should Read
Regulations
As salmon fishing fever hits the Clearwater Region,
the Idaho Department of Fish and Game encourages
anglers to read the 2006 fishing regulations before casting a line.
“A few salmon anglers are getting caught up in the
excitement, and they’re simply not reading the regulations,” said Larry Barrett, senior fisheries technician at
Fish and Game. “To stay out of trouble, always know
before you go.”
The 2006 Spring Chinook Salmon Season and Rules
pamphlet is available at all license vendors and Fish and
Game offices.
The main stem Clearwater, the North Fork Clearwater,
the South Fork Clearwater, and the Little Salmon rivers
are open only from Friday through Monday each week
until further notice or until July 31, whichever comes
first.
The upper Snake River in Hells Canyon and the Lower
Salmon also are open Friday through Monday but the
Snake closes June 19 and the Lower Salmon closes June
26. These seasons may also be closed early if conditions
warrant.
Fishing hours are a half hour before sunrise to one
hour after sunset local time. Anglers are allowed to take
one fish per day, have three in possession, and take a
total of 10 for the entire season. Only hatchery fish with
a clipped adipose fin may be kept.
Anglers are also required to use barbless hooks, or to
bend the barb down to the shank on a single, double or
treble hook. You must also have a salmon permit, available at vendors statewide.
Moose Permits Still Available
The Idaho Department of Fish and Game has 19 left-
GARFIELD
over moose controlled hunt permits.
The application period for leftover moose hunts runs
from June 15 through 25. Any permits left over from
this drawing will be available first–come first–served
beginning July 10. Interested hunters can apply at all
license vendors and Fish and Game offices, online, or
by calling 800–824–3729 or 800–554–8685.
There are 16 permits for antlered moose hunts in north
central Idaho with seasons running from August 30
through November 23 and three permits for an antlerless hunt in eastern Idaho from October 15 through
November 23.

The Basics of Wolf Biology
By Michael Lucid, Wildlife Biologist
Idaho Department of Fish and Game –
Southwest Region
Late spring is a time of activity for wolf packs in
Idaho’s mountains. After a long winter of hunting and
foraging, a fresh crop of pups emerges from dens and
take their first look at the world around them. A wolf
pack is a family group comprised of an alpha male,
alpha female and their offspring.
The alpha pair leads the pack and mates once a
year in mid-February. The alpha female digs a den and
gives birth to three to four pups in mid-April. Several
weeks after pups are born, they move out of the den
to ‘rendezvous sites’ which are usually wet meadows
or lodgepole pine thickets close to water and cover.
Rendezvous sites are safe havens where pups are reared
until they are large enough to travel and hunt with the
pack. Upon a successful hunt, adult pack members
BY JIM DAVIS
gorge themselves with up to thirty pounds of meat,
travel back to the rendezvous site, and regurgitate a
meal of meat for the pups.
In late summer, pups begin to grow big enough
to travel with more experienced members of the pack
and explore their territory. A territory is a wolf pack’s
exclusive area which they defend from other wolves.
Wolves let other wolves know a territory is occupied by
howling and scent marking (defecating and urinating).
If other wolves enter an occupied territory, resident
wolves may attack and often kill the intruder(s). Wolves
dislike domestic dogs as well. If you see wolf sign
while traveling in the woods, it would be wise to keep
your dog leashed or on heel.
As pups continue to grow, pack food demands
increase, and conflicts with livestock increase in late
summer. In recent years, wolves have been implicated
in about 25 cattle and 200 sheep depredations annually
throughout the state.
When the snow begins to fly, wolf pups are nearly
full grown and can travel actively with the pack. Wolf
conflicts with livestock decrease as stock are moved to
lower elevation areas and elk – a wolf’s main prey item
– become easier to hunt due to deep snow. In Idaho, elk
comprise about 77 percent of a wolf’s diet.
Last year, biologists counted 59 wolf packs in
Idaho and estimated the wolf population at between 500
and 600 animals. Currently, biologists are busy counting
this year’s new crop of wolf pups.
You can help monitor Idaho’s wolf population; if
you see a wolf or hear wolves howling, note the details
and then take a moment to submit a report on-line at

feeling like near to death. If you thirst, it may mean you are dehydrated. If your urine is
dark brown, you are already dehydrated. You must seek medical attention if you show
other signs and symptoms of dehydration like dizziness, tiredness or syncope. When the
heat comes, one needs to treat the body for heat just like one would treat their car for
heat, with much more care and interest.
By Jim Callis,
MPAS, PA-C
DEHYDRATION
This is a repeat of a previously published article. We have noticed an increase in
dehydrated individuals, and like to remind everyone to increase your fluid intake as the
weather becomes hotter to compensate for the heat. If you are recently feeling lightheaded and dizzy, join the club. Like many Americans, many locals are experiencing
a little dehydration right now. Some have gotten worn down, tired, and some have
even had what we medical geeks call ‘syncope’ (seen-co-pe), or passing out and losing
consciousness. How does this happen? How can one not realize they are not drinking
enough? Because it is not so nearly as simple as just simple water replacement. Did you
know that you can make your dehydration worse by simply consuming water? Yep, we
call it “hyponatremic hypervolemia,” which means in simple terms, that a person drank
water and didn’t replenish other import moieties (particles) that are lost in sweating.
When we are in the heat and are sweating, we lose things that are just as important to us
as water, mainly potassium and sodium and, to some degree, chloride.
Don’t be intimidated, it’s not really a hard concept. When one sweats, there is a loss
of water and other substances to help keep one cool. Important factors that play into
dehydration include how hot it is, how exposed one is to the heat, how much one is
sweating, and how much and what kind of fluids one is replenishing.
If you are like most Americans, you work out side in the heat, you usually wear short
sleeves and no hat and seldom drink water. You had a cup of coffee this morning, no
breakfast and are trying to stay hydrated by drinking Mountain Dew. Don’t be surprised
that, if this describes or nearly describes you, you are probably dehydrated. If you don’t
get on top of it, you will be in my clinic wondering why you are dizzy, tired or worse,
Here is what you need to do to keep from becoming dehydrated: The trigger for thirst
is a late sign that you are dehydrated; you should keep hydrated before you are thirsty.
When in the heat, keep your skin covered with loose fitting clothes. When I was in
the military, there came a time in the day when we would all be given an order to roll
down our long sleeves. It was literally against the law to wear short sleeves. The more
skin that is exposed to the heat and direct sun, the more moisture you are going to lose.
Wear a hat, too, for the same concept. Second, drink fluids that contain the above listed
electrolytes. These very important moieties are an important part of life. Drink water,
sure, but also do not forget to replenish these important things, especially if you are
doing work outside and sweating. If you are a patient of mine, you will hear me suggest
drinking a sports drink, chicken broth or something similar. Like I mentioned earlier,
replacing only water is not sufficient. Caffeine increases dehydration, so drinking
coffee and soda pop only makes the situation worse.
The loss of moieties in our cells due to dehydration can cause serious problems,
especially since all of our nerve conduction relies on the flow of sodium particles across
their cell membrane. Simple replacement of water will not fill all the functional needs
of these cells. When you drink, especially if you are dehydrated, you must also replace
sodium and potassium. I have been seeing several people every day lately who come in,
and despite drinking what they think is a lot of water (usually up to 32oz of pop/beer/
water or a combination), they feel bad. We give them an IV of saline water and they
start perking up. Saline water is simply salt water with ph balanced for our body. Good
stuff.
You don’t have to get to that point. Save yourself some money and stay hydrated. I
just want to encourage all of you to drink water and grab lots of Gatorade or Power
Aid (or similar), eat small portioned meals often and keep yourself covered. Stop
drinking pop. Should you still become dehydrated, please see your medical provider
immediately.
TALES OF OLD NEW PLYMOUTH
By Dave Goldsmith
I recently read in the New Plymouth News some comments by the sheriff about city
ordinances on the keeping of livestock and licensing of dogs. Things are very different
now from what they were 75 years ago. It seemed to me that almost everyone in town
had a cow back in those long-ago days. That may have been true only of those who had
lots on the outer boulevard, but my dad rented a pasture on the inner boulevard, where
he kept our cow during the summer. I don’t know if you could buy bottled milk at the
grocery store, but we bought milk from a neighbor when our cow was dry.
At present, dogs must be licensed and either fenced in or kept on a leash. In those
long-ago days, no one ever heard of a dog license and dogs were free to come and go
as they wished. We always had a dog, in part because the kids needed pets, but also
because my dad loved to hunt pheasants and a dog of any kind was helpful. There was
quite a string of these dogs which included: Sandy, Blacky, Browny (quite original
names!) and then Pat and Nick. There was quite a turnover in dogs because of old age,
automobiles, and one was poisoned. Nick was the last in the series and was a stray, as
were almost all of the other dogs. He was black except for a white star on his chest and
was the best hunting dog, since he was of setter ancestry and had hunting instincts. He
hunted in the fields behind our house and now and then brought home a pheasant that
he had caught and killed.
All of our dogs were kept outside, even during the coldest weather, and found
their own sleeping quarters under the porch or out in a shed. Nick made himself the
12 NEW PLYMOUTH NEWS exception to this rule. Some way he found out that he could open a back door of the
family car by putting his feet up above the door handle and then bringing them down.
That way he had a warm, soft bed out of the weather in the back seat of the car. After
several years, the folks bought a new car. The next morning, Nick was found sleeping
on the back seat, and my mother severely chastised him. (I heard that a broom was
involved.) Nick decided that other sleeping quarters would be desirable.
Somewhere along the line, Nick found out that grocery stores had meat. He made a
round of the stores each morning. He would sit at the front door until someone went
in or out and then he would sneak in and go back to the meat counter. There he would
sit and drool great amounts of liquid until someone would give him a piece of meat or
a bone. Then he would leave and go on to the other store, where he would go through
the same procedure. This went on for some time until the family moved to a small
acreage about a mile south of town on Highway 30. The first morning they were out
there, Nick went to town to make his usual rounds. Mother was afraid he would be run
over on the highway, so she tied him up the next few days. After about the third day,
she didn’t tie him up, but he didn’t go to town again.
Nick must have been a lover and not a fighter. I can’t remember that he was ever in
a fight with another dog. However, when he finally died at a ripe old age, about half
of the dogs in New Plymouth were black. Nick was treated royally in his declining
years. He was allowed to loll around inside the house during the day and even had his
own bed in the cellar where he slept at night. The old saying about leading a dog’s life
really didn’t apply to Nick.

ENGAGING STUDENTS IN CONVERSATION
Dr. Jim Gill has a reputation for relating well with young adolescents. He’s
both an educator and parent-the principal of Pleasant Ridge Middle Scholl in
Blue Valley School District in Johnson County, Kansas, and the father of three
grown daughters. He has served on the board of the National Middle School
Association and, for the past decade, as a member of the U.S. Department of
Education’s Blue Ribbon Schools Panel. He has three suggestions for engaging
your child in conversation.
Time is important. Gill can recall a time before fast food restaurants
and working parents when there was time to be with children and talk with
them. “It is tempting, after a week on the road, to spend a Saturday and even
a Sunday on the golf course, “ he acknowledges, “but start a habit of spending
some constructive minutes, some quality time with your child when you are
home.
Turn off television. “There’s a National TV-Turnoff Week in April every
year. It should happen a lot more often. You must make time to do something
important with your child,” says Gill.
Statistics compiled by the TV Turnoff Network (http://ww.tvturnoff.org/Factsand
figPage.htm) indicated that 10 hours per week of TV watching is shown to negatively
affect academic achievement. Yet the average American youth spends 900 hours a year
in school and watches 1,500 hour of television a year.
Start talking now. “If a family hasn’t spent time talking together, it can be awkward
to start and can be seen by young people as a ‘phony deal,’ by start anyway,” Gill
recommends. “Begin by talking about things that are important to the young person
– something interesting they’ve done or participated in or something that happened at
school. That can lead into a discussion of more important things in life, like a discussion
about the future.

OBITUARIES
ARTHUR W. FOURNIER – NEW PLYMOUTH
Arthur Wilfrid Fournier, 51, of New Plymouth, passed away
suddenly Thursday, June 1, 2006, of natural causes. Funeral
services were held on Thursday, June 8, at the Assembly of God
Church, New Plymouth, with Pastor Eldon Isaak officiating.
Burial followed at Park View Cemetery, New Plymouth. A visitation for family and friends was held on Wednesday, June 7 at the
Shaffer-Jensen Memory Chapel, New Plymouth.
Art was born in Milford, Connecticut, on March 30, 1955. He
was born to Rene and Olive Fournier. He was the oldest of five
sons. He married Cynthia Lish on January 10, 1987; they were
6 months shy of their 20th anniversary. He became a dad to two
children, Lori Ann (Gullion) Jones and Scott Brandon Cate, and
loved them like his own. Art and Cynthia moved to Idaho in
1992.
He loved his job working for the Idaho Transportation Dept. of
Highways in New Plymouth. He loved gardening, woodworking,
helping others, picking huckleberries, camping and fishing.
When he was a little boy he loved to spend his vacations at his
grandparents’ camp in Maine. At Christmas time when he grew up his favorite things were to help
make cookies and goodies. Even the night before he passed away, he was making cookies and banana
bread. He was an excellent cook and we will miss his blackberry apple sour cream pie! Yummy! He
didn’t write the recipe down so we are sorry that we can’t share it with you. We will miss him dearly.
Art is survived by his father, Rene Fournier; his loving wife, Cynthia; two children, Lori Jones and
Scott Cate; his brothers, Steve, Mike, David, and Bob Fournier; five grandchildren; and numerous
nieces and nephews.
He is preceded in death by his mother, Olive Fournier.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Assembly of God Church, c/o Shaffer-Jensen
Memory Chapel, P.O. Box 730, Payette, Idaho 83661.

ISSUE 125
Jeff Bigley - A Tribute
The family of Jeff Bigley asked me to speak at his Memorial
Service. For those friends who were unable to attend - -this is
what I wrote for him, his daughters and his sister.
There is an old love song entitled “Little Things Mean a Lot”
and it’s true. The little things in life are the most important to
remember. Not what he owned or how fancy a car he drove. It’s
the small things like the impish grin on a child’s face as he runs
through the lawn sprinklers. Grownups can’t help but laugh at
those antics. Jeff and I did. It’s the shared moment of solemn
observation of a 7-inch tall screech owl perched on a low limb
of my cedar tree, its yellow eyes cautiously peering at Jeff and
me. We held our breath and remained totally still; silent as the
three of us watched one another carefully. We knew it couldn’t
see very well in daylight and didn’t want to startle it into frantic
flight. Finally we both just went inside and left it alone. It is
the plastic bag of asparagus every spring for the past seven
years we have been Jeff’s neighbor. It is a fish, occasionally,
for my frying pan. It is an old pioneer or Indian washing stone
added to my rock garden for safe-keeping for Jeff’s friend. It
is his scampering up a ladder with his buddy to keep my 85year-old husband from making a dangerous climb to our roof
to install the cupolas. It is a gentle rough-housing of our blind
dachshund as he struggles with a brain tumor that has affected
his movements. It is the merry tail that starts wagging before
Jeff even gets out of his truck in the afternoon. It is knowing
there’s someone who would come in a minute if I needed him
in a hurry in the middle of the night. Just little things that let
us know he valued us as friends and neighbors. None of us
knows for certain, of course, what lies beyond this life. For Jeff,
I would hope that he is perhaps in an enchanted forest quietly
admiring a proud, magnificent buck with a splendid rack, or
maybe he’s having a heart-to -heart conversation with a bear or
on a thrilling flight with a soaring eagle. I would hope for Jeff
that he could hear a roaring waterfall and know the pool below
would surely be full of flashing fish. I would hope these things
for Jeff, my neighbor, my friend. Whether you helped Jeff or
Jeff helped you, he has passed through our lives and left an
indelible mark. Remember the little things.
-- Von Gail Hamilton

New Life in Home Ministry
“Nothing but our bare hands...”
A guest opinion submitted by Idaho Senator Mike Crapo
“In order to save anything at all, we had to begin firing the buildings on the outskirts
of the town, and then the terrible work of forcing the backfire towards the big blaze
began. I will never forget the sight. An impassable wall of fire was eating its way down
the hillside. Our backfire, which had assumed huge proportions, was creeping up
towards it. In exactly four and one-half minutes after we started our fire, the two met.
Never have I seen anything like it -- plunging at each other like two living animals, the
two met with a roar that must have been heard miles away. The rest of the world didn’t
know what we were going through. It couldn’t, and that was the terrible part of it. We
might have been the only men in the world for all it mattered. Alone, we were left with
nothing but our bare hands and the help of our Creator to bring us out alive.”
--From Thaddeus Roe’s description of the flames he faced in the fight to save Avery,
Idaho. Roe was part of the rescue team sent to Storm Creek to bring out the bodies of 29
men who stood their ground, rather than flee the raging fire. These words were written
about one of the most devastating fires in U.S. history, the 1910 fire. Between August 20 and 23, this horrific inferno
burned over three million acres in northern Idaho and western Montana. Eight billion board feet of timber went up
in flames, along with homes and, most tragically, 78 firefighters, some of whom lie today in unmarked graves in St.
Maries.
Experts conclude that the 80 mph winds blowing those two days and nights were unique, and complicating factors
of fuel load, primitive fire-fighting practices and lack of access to much of the land contributed to this monstrosity
of a fire. However, today other factors make wildland fire safety just as important: excessive accumulation of plant
undergrowth and other ground fuels, hot, dry weather conditions, increased human use of wilderness and wildland
areas, and increased wildland/urban interface. As we prepare for another Idaho summer of outdoor recreation almost
100 years later, we must heed lessons learned about wildfire danger.
The familiar Forest Service campaign, “Only You Can Prevent Wildfires,” offers these tips: •Don’t park vehicles on
dry grass. •If off-road vehicle use is allowed, internal combustion equipment requires a spark arrester. •Know your
county’s outdoor burning regulations. •At the first sign of wildfire, leave the area immediately by established trails or
roads. Contact a Ranger as soon as possible. If the escape route is blocked, go to the nearest lake or stream. •Leave
campsites as natural as possible; travel on trails and other durable surfaces. Inspect your site upon leaving.•Never take
any type of fireworks on public lands. •Keep stoves, lanterns and heaters away from combustibles. •Store flammable
liquid containers in a safe place. •Never use stoves, lanterns and heaters inside a tent.
Thoroughly plan your trip. Know the area; develop a checklist; be aware of fire or travel restrictions; know the
weather forecast; and select your campsite wisely. Whether it’s a day hike, a week-long backcountry horse trip, or
something in between, you need to be well-informed and prepared for emergencies. Preparation and planning go a
long way toward preventing catastrophes. Although the terrible 1910 fire was what might be called a rare “perfect
storm,” those of us who recreate and work in our great outdoors should do so wisely and responsibly.
