The people have spoken – for a third time - and the answer remains the same. No, we do not like your plan, we can’t afford your plan or we don’t want your plan. Regardless of which of the three the Cassia School Patrons would put a check mark by, the issues that prompted the bond election in the rst place still exist. It was impossible to get an answer to the question “what if the bond fails” from the school board, and perhaps that’s a good thing. They wanted to use every ounce of their energy to get the bond to pass. As a school patron, Jay Lenkersdorfer that’s exactly what I would have wanted them to do with their time and energies. But now that the bond has failed, I would suggest that it’s time for the community to pass back a message of its own. As I wrote last week, the school board consists of very dedicated volunteers who are not paid for their time, efforts or energy. They love our communities and they love our kids. Otherwise, why in the world would they subject themselves to the many complex issues they face on a regular basis? I would like to suggest that the next school bond proposal needs to come from us. I would propose that there are still needs in the school district and we have a unique opportunity to fulll some of those needs with the zero interest loan that is still available. I won’t suggest that I can make a list of the most critical capital needs of the district by myself, but I believe that this is information that the community and school district working together could identify. Let’s say that the top project that is the dire situation at Raft River High School. The school district identied it as an important project that would require $7 million dollars to solve. Let’s accept that project as a worthy and reasonable effort to take on and then let’s put it on a May 17th ballot for voter approval. No gymnasiums, no new grade schools, no new buildings – other than what is needed in Raft River. In my travels over the past months I have yet to meet a single person that hasn’t agreed that the Raft River High School is well past its reasonable life span and every person has said they would vote yes on a bond that took care of them. I’ve spoken to Declo parents whose children wouldn’t be getting a new gym, to Burley citizens whose children wouldn’t be getting additional classrooms at the high school or any new grade schools and I’ve even talked with Oakley parents who also agree with the tough situation in Raft River. Approving a limited bond for the amount of the interest free money that is available helps keep our costs very low and solves an urgent need. The cost to a homeowner would be about the cost of a candy bar a month, two candy bars for businesses. Even with $4 gas, raising electrical rates and other economic challenges, this is a reasonable request. But there is another benet, perhaps greater than any other. I have been told that the reason the recent school bond was submitted with so many projects, and as a result, so much cost, was that the school board believes that voters would never approve a bond unless “their school” also got something. It sounds a little bit like the way congress works. Everybody gets their own pet pork project added in. Let’s prove that we are above that small thinking. Burley has its new high school, one that Raft River residents helped build with their tax money. Declo has its new high school as well, also paid for by taxpayers in Raft River. Let’s show some class and step up to the plate to help Raft River get what it truly needs, and let’s not make them wait for 5 more years to get it done. If you agree with me, call your friends, your neighbors and the school board. Tell them it’s worth the risk and, with the community being the instigator, our school board won’t get yet another black eye. The News Journal has a website (www.minicassia.com) with a reader poll. If you agree with me, log onto the site and vote. If you disagree, we’d love to have your vote represented as well. This would be one simple way to see if the idea is something worth taking the risk doing. Agree or disagree, please pass the word!

I can’t stand it, somebody please write a letter, or whip the ponies they are using to get to work every day, or buy them some doughnuts and maybe a couple 5 hour energy shots – something. Let’s just nish this highway to hell and prove to all the other 3rd world countries that we really can build 40 feet of bridge in 3 years! T o the Lady in Burley that’s wants to know what Burleys problem is and that Burley doesn’t need to pass the bond. You need to get out of town more often! It’s not the Burley School District.

There is also a school in Albion and believe it or not there is also a school in Malta. Then if you would look at all the property taxes that are made in each city or area, Burley probably has the least property taxes paid in all those areas. So all these other areas are paying for your Burley School District. So get out of town young lady and see the county boundaries and see what the rest of us really need not want. T here is always two sides to a story. Without knowing both sides it is unfair to make a Judgement, and to be so critical to others. Life is short. You don’t know what you have until it is gone. I try to teach my children that every choice they make in life will have a negative or positive consequence. Sometimes when you think you are making the right choice it can have negative consequences. Sometimes people make choices that are wrong and don’t realize they are wrong and if they learn from their mistakes, that’s Continued On Page 13 Ink & Toner Cartridges Save up to 50% on Brother, Canon, Dell, HP, Lexmark, & Epson Color The opinions you are about to read were submitted by individuals in the community.

It’s found in each blade of grass growing in Ireland’s lush pastures. Small herds of cows graze freely, and the milk, rich in beta-carotene from the grass, produces butter and cheeses of an xceptionally golden hue. Thousands of years before the Irish discovered potatoes, airy cows, milk and butter were being woven into the fabric f Irish society, according to the Cork Butter Museum in Cork City, Ireland. The Cork Butter Exchange, a market created y the merchants of Cork City in 1769, was in its time, the argest butter market in the world, exporting as far away as Europe and America. Today, dairy products continue to play an important role n Irish cooking. Cooperatives of farmers, creameries and heesemakers provide delicious Irish butter and cheeses hroughout the U.S. under the Kerrygold label. Here are some iconic recipes from some stars of Irish ooking, using Kerrygold cheeses and butter. To learn more bout Kerrygold, and for where-to-buy information, visit www.kerrygold.com/usa.

Three Idaho citizens contacted the Attorney General’s Ofce and reported losing thousands of dollars to the grandparent scam in just the last two weeks, Wasden said. The scam involves a phone call from a criminal posing as the victim’s grandchild. The caller says that he or she is in trouble or under arrest in another country and needs money right away. The caller then asks the grandparent to wire cash to him and asks the grandparents not to tell anyone. Sometimes another person will get on the line to back up the caller’s story. The second person usually claims to be a police ofcer, bail bondsman or just a helpful bystander. If the grandparent does send money, the scammers usually call again to ask for more and give various reasons for the second request for money. A couple from Rupert was told that their granddaughter was in Spain attending a funeral with relatives, when their car was stopped on the way to the airport to y home. The couple was told their granddaughter was arrested after the police searched the trunk of the car and found cocaine and that she needed money for a bail bond. After they sent the money, someone impersonating a marine sergeant called and said he was calling from the American Embassy. He advised them their granddaughter had lost her passport and needed money for a replacement. They sent that money as well, losing a total of $5,870. Although the callers claimed to be in Spain, the telephone company said that the number where the call originated was in Canada. “You may think that you wouldn’t fall for these scams, but they’re designed to catch you off guard,” Attorney General Wasden said. “Con artists play on your fears to make you do things you wouldn’t normally do.” If you receive a call like this, Wasden recommends you follow the three C’s: Calm, Contact and Conrm. * CALM down. Being agitated or upset clouds your judgment. Take a few deep breaths and then evaluate the situation. * CONTACT your grandchild with the information about the call. Call his or her home or cell phone. Call the parents or other family members. Don’t trust the caller. When he says, “I don’t want Mom and Dad to know,” it is just a scammer’s technique to keep you from discovering the truth. * CONFIRM your suspicions. The people who don’t fall victim to this scam nd out where their grandchild is. Usually, that is at home, work or school, and completely unaware of the scam. Wasden said any Idaho residents who have sent money should le a report with their local police or sheriff. They may also contact the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division. In the Boise area, call (208) 334–2424. Elsewhere in Idaho, call the toll–free number, (800) 432–3545. “It is very difcult to trace funds sent by wire transfer,” Wasden said, “but if information is still ‘hot’ and there is a Canada connection, my ofce can help people get in touch with the Phonebusters anti-fraud hotline run by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and provincial police.” The Phonebusters toll–free number is (888) 495–8501. New President of National Wheat Organization BURLEY - Idaho wheat producer Wayne Hurst was elected and installed as president of the National Association of Wheat Growers at the organization’s Board of Directors meeting held Saturday. Hurst is from the Burley, Idaho, area, where he has operated a diversied crop farm since 1980, including cultivation of wheat, sugar beets, potatoes, dry beans and forage crops. As an ofcer for the Idaho Grain Producers Association and on the NAWG Board, Hurst has been deeply involved in wheat policy issues for more than a decade. He has served on various NAWG policy committees and the NAWG Budget Committee and was chair of the NAWG/U.S. Wheat Associates/WETEC consolidation committee in 2006. Like most NAWG ofcers, he has participated in two leadership training programs sponsored by the NAWG Foundation for incoming wheat leaders, WOLF Courtesy Photo Wayne Hurst and WILOT. Hurst attended Brigham Young University and Idaho State University. He is uent in Spanish, having served two years on a church mission in Concepcion, Chile. He is also an accomplished musician and has held numerous leadership positions in community organizations and at church. Hurst and his wife, Sherrie, have ve children and four grandchildren. Other members of the 2011 NAWG ofcer corps elected at Saturday’s meeting include: * Erik Younggren, Hallock, Minn., rst vice president; * Bing Von Bergen, Moccasin, Mont., second vice president; * Paul Penner, Hillsboro, Kan., secretary-treasurer; and * Jerry McReynolds, Woodston, Kan., immediate past president. NAWG ofcers typically “run the chairs” for ve years after being selected as secretarytreasurer, though they all must be interviewed and recommended by the NAWG Nominating Committee and approved by the NAWG Board of Directors on an annual basis.

The facility needs exist and many of those will become critical needs in the near future and will have to be addressed in some manner. I am condent the Board of Trustees, school personnel, and community members will nd acceptable solutions to the school facility needs. I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge the efforts of many individuals in developing the bond. Community members and school personnel began compiling a list of school facility needs and wants in 2006. Once the initial list of facilities was generated, countless hours of analysis occurred as part of a renement process to narrow and develop the proposal to be presented to the community. A cross-section of community members gave freely of their time and expertise to prioritize and plan projects intended to meet the specic needs that had been identied. Many people traveled considerable distances to visit sites and speak with individuals to bring the experience of others to this school district. The goal of the entire group was to develop a bond proposal that would address Thank you for saying you saw it in the Weekly Mailer facility needs at a minimal cost to property tax payers. I want to thank anyone who assisted with bond project concept development to nd solutions addressing the greatest needs in each community/school. I am grateful to the people that made presentations making voters aware of the various projects proposed throughout the school district. It takes a lot of people and a great deal of input to develop a bond proposal. I appreciate our community and I admire all the people that contribute to making this a great place in which to live. Gaylen Smyer, Superintendent Cassia Jt. School District No. 151 G as prices are going to shoot up because of the protests in Egypt, or so they say. We are still buying foreign oil. Why? We have our own oil reserves. If the gas prices go up, the price to ship items cross country will go up so the cost of items they ship will go up. So food prices go up and everything goes up. Foreign oil comes through the New York harbors. Traded right off the boats, whatever they trade the oil for is what we have to pay at the pumps. BP sets their prices on “how much it costs” to produce their gas (It does not cost that much to cook crude into gasoline.) It is cheap to make, like cocaine that sneaks across borders and harbors. A lot of money, breath taking picture isn’t it? It is like they are laughing in your face. Demand gas and pay the price. This would be a good time for inventors and brilliant young minds to come up with better vehicles and transportation that will not have to depend on oil. You want your oil? Keep it! I don’t want your blood mixed oil! Time for REAL change! No more fake politics just get IT DONE! Thayne Gallegos T his won’t get to people in time for the bond election. I’m good with that. I have kept my mouth shut because I’m in the minority in my opinion, but it wasn’t until I read a sound off by another reader who seemed angry. Sir or Madame, your quotes about democracies notwithstanding, rule by majority is the most civilized way of governing. If people don’t have a say in their government, then they are either required to mindlessly follow or willfully disobey. Taking part in the processes of their lives is both the privilege and the responsibility of every capable human. Perhaps you would feel better reading Roberts Rules of Order: The responsibility of the majority is to allow the minority to become the majority while the responsibility of the minority is to allow the majority to do their work. This provides room for growth within the system. A rigid system will die. That is why we have elections. I applaud you for speaking your mind. I applaud Lenkersdorfer for giving you the forum. And I hope that you can respect that the same system that has nurtured you, may indeed chide you. It’s not all about you…or me…it’s about loving what you’ve got. ‘Nuff said. M r. Andersen has taken off his mask. Our new Burley City Council member has emerged from the charade. His attack on one of his peers was unnecessary and extremely rude. Thank you, Mr. Lenkersdorfer for your restraint and professionalism in handling this matter that could have resulted in a shouting match had you been as personally undisciplined as your attacker. I wonder if those who supported this short fused vindictive individual and voted him into ofce may wonder if he is capable of serving in the governing capacity he now holds. W e have someone in this community screaming to have some relevance. This man holds himself up to be some sort of moral authority, always scrutinizing other people, picking at them, intimidating them, and looking for any fault he can nd no mater how minute it may be. I nd it hard to believe that he could have the myopic vision to be able to look around and see what everyone else is doing wrong. How sad that this human being can only nd comfort in dragging people down into the squabbling, pitiful mess that surrounds his world. How can he claim to be the defender of the downtrodden, the bastion against the unjust, and an advocate of the oppressed? It has been said that you can judge a man by his works, well then let him be judged by the chaos and anger that revolves around him, by the way people laugh when you bring up his name, or by the carnage left in Weekly Mailer his wake along the road of his life. When you look at the sum total of what he is and what he has accomplished you are left with sadness, pity, and a distain that almost manifests itself in the sinus area. So go on with your tantrums, and your declarations of self righteousness, because we know that you are just trying to be heard, just trying to make people notice you because you have an need to feel important and have some sort of relevance in this life, the only way you can make people pay attention to you is to hurt them so you have their full attention. So go on tilting at your windmills, real or imagined, because the most damage you are doing is only to yourself. See you in the papers I am writing this to thank everyone for your thoughts, gifts and well wishes on my recent retirement. I am humbled and grateful to everyone who took time to come to my retirement party or took a moment to talk to me or send a card. I wish I could have spent more time with everyone so I am writing this letter to let you know how much it meant to me that you took the time from your busy schedule for me, especially on such a snowy day. Thank you will never be enough to let you know how much I appreciate each of you. To my girls who made the party so special, Georgia, Laura, Tara and Crystal, a big thank you. You guys are the truly the best. To all my citizen’s academy graduates, remember, keep that “jockey box “cleaned out, just in case. Thanks for your friendship and many great memories. I am looking forward to the future but I will always remember how lucky I was to look forward to going to work every day, for 26 years, and have such a remarkable group of ofcers to work with. I know the dedication and commitment it takes to walk the “thin blue line”. My prayers will always be with you. It was an honor and a privilege to serve the citizens of Cassia County. To the lady at Wal-Mart who paid it forward to me, I didn’t get your name but you know who you are, thank you and I will denitely pay it forward. I miss you and I will always be there in spirit. God bless all of you. Sgt.

It’s bad enough that they want us to pay for this, now they say a lien will be put on our property to make sure they get paid. When I read this I sat there in shock thinking --- What! --- What! A lien on our property is not good. What gives them the right to put a lien on our property? And what does this mean? If we fail to pay our 90% of the bill on the xing of your sidewalk will the city have the right to take over your property? The word “lien” scares the crap out of me. What is the big hurry to x the sidewalks anyway? They’ve been torn up for years and no one complained or cared. I am living on $700 a month and some people ask, “How do you make it?” The answer is I don’t! My family gives me money to help buy my food. I don’t sleep at night worrying about making ends meet. And now I have to worry about one more unnecessary bill to pay because there’s a “lien” on my home. The city is paying 10% of the bill. Wow! Have you ever had 10% of a pie? It’s not a lot, is it? I called a lawyer in Twin and asked him about this mater. He said, and I quote, “There is ‘no need’ to put a lien on our property. There are other ways the city can collect their money, one being; turn the bill into small claims court. This was not the proper way to handle this matter.” Now, I don’t go to City Council meetings because I’m sick and in a lot of pain. Some of you able bodied people need to go to those meetings and nd out exactly Thank you for saying you saw it in the Weekly Mailer what’s going on. If you sit back and let those people pass any ordinance they want, we could be in for trouble. A very concerned resident Editor’s note: Our understanding of this project is that participation in the sidewalk LID is strictly voluntary. No residents will be compelled to join or to participate. No liens will be involved unless a person that volunteered to participate later failed to pay back their allocation. If a home that participated in the LID was to sell, the sellers would need to pay off the assessment prior to the change in ownership. The only way for a homeowner to get involved would be to voluntarily opt in. The city will not force participation. Y ou did the right thing when you printed Councilman Vaughn Egan’s letter. Mr. Egan had things to say on the Voice. He is not the only person in the area to notice the one-sided reporting by Mike Ramsey and Renee Wells. Something is seriously wrong when someone can print things that are not true and then deny people the right to take them to task. I noticed in the Times-News that Councilman Denny Curtis had violated the terms of his deferred prosecution. When is the Mayor of Burley going to stand up for what is right and do something about it? Egan Admirer D ear Protestor, Now let’s be honest. Did you really read Mr. Luna’s reform proposal? Or do you just believe what you are told about it? Are you writing letters and protesting without even knowing what you are protesting against? I have not encountered one opponent of “Students Come First” that has actually read it. I know that there are legislators that have not read it. And yet they oppose and protest. What a sad commentary on the state of our own education! We will not educate ourselves. We wait for someone else to tell us what is right or wrong for us, what is good or bad for us. If you are going to protest “Students Come First”, at least have the intellectual honesty to read it rst. I have. It actually empowers parents, students, and yes, even teachers. It begins the course correction that our education system desperately needs. Don’t take someone else’s word on something as important as your children’s education. Read for yourself and nd out why “Students Come First” really does put students rst. http://www.sde.idaho.gov/site/ studentsComeFirst/ Chad Fridal W eekly Mailer for “Sound Off” I wasn’t aware that I was in cahoots with Satan. Yes, I supported the bond. I grudgingly voted yes on the December vote. My son had been out of his classroom at Dworshak for several days due to the heating system fuming (supposedly non-toxic) smells into his room. After that bond failed, I attended several meetings and came to understand what the school board was trying to accomplish and how. I saw people I am acquainted with that had been working on this proposal. I didn’t wholly agree with all of the projects, but I also don’t live in every community.

I still feel that the bond was a good deal and would put us a step ahead instead of always lagging behind. So this hand-maiden of Satan will continue to play demolition derby at the school dropoff, help out in the schools, and in the community.

I am a parent of a White Pine student, I now drop off my child at the designated “Parent Pick-up” at the South east end of the school. I know it is more convenient to slide up alongside the curb on 19th and drop them off. I have done it many times in the past. But I decided I needed to follow the rules. Every morning I see the same things, Parents pulling up on 19th, right before and in between the two bus driveways, which is a posted no parking zone. I’m sure the bus drivers consider this a hazard. Worse, parents who stop across the street from the school, let their child out, to cross the road. There is already congestion from the buses coming and going, but add parents who stop, sometimes blocking trafc, and then we have to watch for children who are crossing the street. This is not a good situation! Another area of concern is how many parents are pulling up directly in front of the school to drop off their children, this is a parking lot, NOT a drop off spot! There is a designated area- It is the PARENT PICK UP AT THE SOUTHEAST AREA OF THE SCHOOL.; drive in the driveway, drop off your child, and drive right out the other driveway. It is a “U” shaped driveway. It works very well. It needs to be enforced that parents drop off their children in the “Parent pick up” zone. If you park elsewhere, you should be ticketed. We all need to keep the Weekly Mailer rules. I n the wake of the recent Cassia School District’s bond election, one is left to ponder a few things. In the past month or so I was reading in this Sound Off people’s feelings and concerns about this third trip to the ballot box for the bond of 41 plus million. Both times when I read all the Sound Offs, the same question was asked, ‘Why are we being asked to do exactly what has been told ‘no’ twice before?’ The answer to this question has a name and a place on the school board, represents Zone #2, and just happens to be up for re-election later this spring. If you live on the west edge of Burley, out to about the Star Church house, roughly; and from the river to about Farmer’s Corner (again roughly), and you have had concerns about some of the things this school board does, or specically, who is ‘the man behind the curtain’, so to speak, at the school board? It is Not the District’s Superintendent as it should be, but rather the Board Member who represents Zone 2. Oh, and did we mention that he is up for re-election this spring, has run unopposed the past several elections, and it just might be a good time to make that change as there is a history of decisions from this particular Board member that has given people cause to wonder, ‘why?’. The deadline to declare intent to run is March 18th! If you have ever wanted to serve and you are part of the 55% that opposed this third request, now is your opportunity. Our current economic situation is in part due to a housing crisis, built up mostly by the thinking that simply because we can, we should. We are not stupid, we know what the needs are…we know that Raft River needs new facilities, we know that Oakley needs some things and that Burley probably needs A new school, explain the need and the people will do what is right. You don’t have to buy off everyone’s vote with excessive wants. Again, the deadline to declare one’s intentions to run for the Cassia County School Board are March 18th. Weekly Mailer Weekly Mailer 16,000 Households Mailed Every Week 16,000 Households Mailed Every Week State’s trafc fatalities lower BOISE - Efforts to improve safety for motorists on Idaho roads could be paying off with motor vehicle fatalities continuing a three-year decline into the rst quarter of 2011. Preliminary data from the Idaho Transportation Department show 209 motor vehicle fatalities occurred in Idaho during 2010. This is down from 226 fatalities in 2009 and from 232 fatalities in 2008. The lowest number of trafc deaths on record, going back to 1962, was in 1963 when there were 207 fatalities. The state’s population has more than doubled since the 1960s. Early numbers for motor vehicle fatalities during January and February of 2011 are coming in lower than for the same period last year, with only nine fatalities reported. The three-year average for the same time period was 23 fatalities. “We are very pleased that fewer are beingonly killed By people appointment on Idaho’s roads,” said Mary Hunter, ITD highway safety manager. “These aren’t just numbers, they are family members and friends.” While trafc fatalities tend to decline nationwide during economic downturns, Hunter said she believes that people are 2004 Chevrolet Silverado making smarter driving choices.
