An Idaho State Fire Marshall said his department released the
findings of a devastating fire at the Jackson building to the
Homedale Police Department nearly three weeks ago, but Homedale
Police Chief Jeff Eidemiller said his department has not received
the final results yet.
Fire fighters were dispatched to the Whoa Baby business in the
Jackson complex on Idaho Avenue at approximately 1:30 a.m. March
10. Several businesses were threatened in the complex, but crews
were able to contain the blaze to the individual store.
After firefighters sprayed water on the smoking building during the
first call, crews entered the building with a heat sensor and
determined the fire to be extinguished. But crews were again
dispatched
to the scene at approximately 6 a.m. and found the building
engulfed.
Wilder and Marsing assisted with Homedale on the initial call and
returned to assist on the second call. Caldwell sent a ladder truck
and an air trailer as well to the second call.
“We have not got it all back,,” Eidemiller said last week when
asked about the final findings in the case. “The lab results are
not back. They (the State of Idaho Fire Marshal) will not make a
determination until all the results are in.”
Eidemiller said he is uncertain when the investigator would make a
final determination that the state was currently waiting on lab
results.

Homedale trustee positions challenged
Unless a rush of people file as write-in candidates, Homedale
School District will be the only district to hold an election next
month as four people filed to challenge two zone seats by Friday’s
5 p.m. deadline.
Zone 3 hopeful Benita Miller will run against Jim Bittick for Fred
Butler’s seat as Butler had not filed to rerun by Friday. In zone
4, Ric Uria will try to oust incumbent Kirt Weimer who will run for
his third term.
John Ineck filed to run for another term in the Marsing School
District for zone 5 along with Betty Ackerman who filed to run for
another term in zone 3.
In the Bruneau/Grand View School District, Dave Tindall will run
again for zone 5 and Darrel Agenbroad will run for zone 3.
Incumbent Harold Simper did not file for another term.
A single seat in Pleasant Valley will probably be filled again by
Pat Stanford for zone
Candidates file for
local school boards 1 unless a write in candidate declares before
the election next month.
In Melba School District, two incumbents and a candidate filed late
Friday afternoon for its three open seats.
Vivian Good filled to again fill her seat on the board for zone 5.
Good replaced Patsey Foote who resigned from the position in August
due to moving. Incumbent Belinda Thiel will run again for zone 3
and Teresa Silver, new candidate declared her intention in zone
4.
Write-in candidates must declare their intent to serve and be
qualified to serve for votes to count. The declaration must be made
up of two weeks before the election, May 7, with the district
clerk. Write in candidates’ names will not appear on the
ballot.
Unopposed candidates may still have to face voters if a write-in
candidate declares by May 7. If after the write-in deadline no one
has filed, no election will be held and the candidate will be
declared a trustee without a vote. – CP

kills cows Owyhee County Sheriff’s
office responded to several calls last weekend including a suicide
threat, a vehicle versus house call and the report of nearly 35
cows found dead in the Bruneau area.
The Owyhee County Sheriff’s office responded to a possible suicide
attempt by a Murphy area woman Saturday night, and ended up
arresting the woman and charging her with three felony
counts.
A report filed with the sheriff’s office states Maureen Cassidy,
49, had been reported to the sheriff’s office as attempting to
commit suicide when her husband arrived home to find her in the
couple’s garage in her running vehicle with suicide note. The
report states Cassidy also left the scene with weapons in her
vehicle.
Owyhee County Sheriff Gary Aman said Cassidy left

Spring like temperatures sent trees into bloom last week as
temperatures climbed to near 80 during the day and stayed in the
upper 40s during the night. Cooler temperatures are expected
throughout this week with a warming trend predicted for the
weekend.
$700 reward offered for
info on graffiti vandals The Homedale Police Department, Owyhee
County Sheriff’s
office and the Owyhee County Probation Department have joined
forces to offer a $700 reward for information leading to the arrest
and conviction of graffiti vandals, known as “taggers,” who are
defacing our communities.
According to Chief Eidemiller, “Every bare wall and empty space is
a target. They don’t discriminate. They’ve been very active lately,
and I want them.”
Anyone with information about graffiti incidences or perpetrators
should call the Homedale Police Department at 337-4642, or the
Owyhee County Sheriff’s office at 337-4950 or 495-1154.

term as treasurer “We respect our taxpayers
and we’re a service to them,” says Barbara Wright. After 12 years
as Owyhee County treasurer, Wright says, “I’m going to keep my
office running the same way it has been running. The county’s in
good shape financially, everything is running well, and we’ve
always had conscientious commissioners who pay attention to the
budget.”
Wright has no challengers in her race for a fourth term, and enjoys
the strong support of other county officials. “All of our elected
officials are responsible people who try to do what’s right,” she
says.
The county-wide primary election is on May 27.
Commissioners appointed
to Marsing P and Z Two Marsing residents were appointed to the
Marsing Planning
and Zoning during a regular meeting earlier this month. Robert
(Spanky) Bazcik and James Ramirez were appointed
by Marsing Mayor Faye Pfrimmer and the city council and will attend
their first meeting in May.
Bazcik said he is a disabled vet who served three tours in Vietnam
and said although he has never served as a planning and zoning
commissioner before he has an extensive background in residential
construction.
“After Vietnam I worked in Arizona in construction for many years,”
Bazcik said. “I am looking forward to working with the rest of the
commission and doing my best for the folks in Marsing.”
Bazcik said although he has only lived in the Marsing area for a
short time, he said, “I plan to die here. I love it in this small
town.”
“I had a couple other names, but I wanted someone completely new,”
Pfrimmer said Monday. “Someone who didn’t know anything about it.
These two are intelligent enough to be very good on P and Z and I
felt they would be willing to go the extra yard.”
Ramirez was unavailable for comment.

But Idaho State Fire Marshal Don Dillard said Thursday that the
final results of the investigation had been “hand delivered” to
Homedale Police Department nearly three weeks ago.
“We hand delivered them about two to three weeks ago,” Dillard
said. “I have turned it over to the local law enforcement and
hopefully they are pursuing the matter.”
the scene and was pursued byChief Deputy Dick Freund into Melba and
Canyon County before she traveled back into Owyhee County.
The pursuit ended after Aman set road spikes to stop Cassidy. Aman
said a struggle with the woman ensued when she refused to leave her
car.
“We had to physically take her out of her car,” Aman said Monday.
“She was very distraught and upset.”
Thirty-five minutes after the pursuit began, Cassidy was arrested
on three felony charges and three misdemeanor charges through the
Owyhee County and Canyon County Sheriff’s offices.
She was charged with felony eluding police officers, aggravated
battery, felony possession of m e t h a m p h e t a m i n e ,
misdemeanor possession of marijuana, misdemeanor possession of
paraphernalia, and resisting and obstructing officers.
She is being held in a Canyon County jail on a $200,000 bond.
At 1:32 a.m., early Saturday morning, dispatch received a call from
Marsing resident Richard Cromwell stating he had been awakened by a
loud noise. Dispatchers said Cromwell reported he looked outside
his home and found a vehicle parked on his front porch and no one
around the accident.
Aman said the vehicle, a white Pontiac Grand Am, was
traced as being registered to a lady from Oregon who had sold it to
a man from Marsing.
“Whoever was driving the vehicle drove over two cement ditches,
into a tree, through a chain link fence and into the porch of
Cromwell’s home,” Aman said Monday. “The house suffered probably
about $6,000 in damages.”
Aman said the vehicle was impounded and towed to a local lot. He
said the department is seeking Juan Zepada for questioning in the
incident. No one in the home was injured.
On Sunday, Idaho Department of Fish and Game reported finding many
dead cows at Duncan’s Creek drainage area along a two to three mile
stretch. Aman said nearly 35 cows were found dead in the area from
eating a poisonous weed.
Aman said the cattle, owned by the JR Simplot Company of Bruneau,
had eaten Larkspur. –CP
√ Pursuit When asked if the state
results were finalized, Dillard said as far as the state was
concerned they had done all they could in the case.
Eidemiller contended Thursday that his department was waiting on
lab results from the State Fire Marshall, “since obviously he is
the lead investigator in the matter.”
“We have gotten some preliminary reports, but nothing official as
of yet,” Eidemiller continued. -CP

Mearl Row and Dean Grindstaff at the scattering of Chrissie’s
ashes.
by Lola Blossom A good sized crowd gathered
April 7, 2002 on a hill over looking the ranch formally owned by
Mearl and Chrissie Row. The gathering was for the scattering of
Christena Beaton Row’s ashes with April
7 being her 90th birth date and the birthday of her son, Neil Row.
All four of Mearl’s grandchildren were there with Bandette and
Brandon coming from Las Vegas. Four little great grandchildren were
also in attendance. A nice lunch was served. A prayer was given by
Pastor Dean Grindstaff. Mearl deserves a gold medal for the good
care he gave Chrissie during her long illnesses and for carrying
out her wishes for the scattering. The tombstone that was placed
there was of beautiful stone that we found near the old mining town
of Contact, Nevada.
Chrissie was a true ranch woman and knew so many stories of old
times such as seeing Mrs. Crandall (Martha) Dunn and Cynthia Conway
each sitting in their horse and buggies visiting at the Three Creek
Store.
It is sad to think that I’m the only Cherry Creek Old Maid left. My
Mom used to call Cherry Creek Old Maid Creek
because Laura Rutledge and Edna and Christena Beaton were well into
their 30’s before marrying and I was in my 20’s.
Marc and Jarod Brackett are busy buying yearling heifers and having
them spayed. They will summer them on their pastures irrigated by
pivots in the Tabor Creek area of northern Nevada.
Jody Cooper from Jarbidge is now helping Bob Taylor at the road
yard.
Harvey and Lola Blossom enjoyed good visits from relatives, Walt
Colyer of Spring Creek, Nevada, Cecil and Cindy Plott from Eugene,
Oregon and Edna Pollard from Filer.
The snowstorms that we should have had in January are hitting us
every day now.

Local riders
Rodeo team Leaders of the National High School Rodeo
Association
(NHSRA), the oldest youth rodeo organization in America, appointed
several local riders from District 2 High School Rodeo Association
to the Wrangler High School All Star Rodeo team, the first ever
corporate-sponsored youth rodeo team.
Annie Roeser, from Homedale High School, Lindsey Smith, from Jordan

R.C. Crutcher from Owyhee High School will join teammates Kallen
Hayes from Eagle High School, Scharlee Roberts from Vallivue High
School, Julie Rosti, from Eagle High School, Daniel Dopps from
Mountain Home High School, Ty Jones, from Eagle High School,
Stephen Percy from Mountain Home High School and Tyler Shannon from
Vallivue High School in the event.
The Wrangler High School All Star Rodeo Team is fashioned after
Wrangler’s Champion Pro Rodeo team, which includes superstars like
Ty Murray, Joe Beaver, Dan Mortenson, Charmayne James and
Hall-of-Famer Jim Shoulders.
Those chosen earned their spot on the team based on qualities,
academic eligibility and athletic achievements.
“We are excited to again this year expand Wrangler’s rodeo
sponsorship program at the high school level,” said Karl Stressman,
special events manager for Wrangler Rodeo. “As always, it gives us
a tremendous sense of pride to associate the Wrangler brand with
promising young men and women. We’re confident each member of the
team will be an outstanding goodwill ambassador for the sport of
rodeo.”
Members of the team will receive official competition apparel
consisting of shirts embroidered with the team logo and two pairs
of competition jeans. In addition, team members receive an official
certificate signed by rodeo greats Jim Shoulders and Ty
Murray.

Here is Prof. John T. Wenders’ new Introduction to
The Proper Role of Government
by Ezra Taft Benson
Benson’s justifiably strident warnings about Communism are now
passé in public. I attribute this to two disparate reasons, one
obvious and symbolic, and the other subtle and lamentable.
The obvious reason is the fall of Soviet style communism, etched in
everyone’s mind by the symbolic toppling of the Berlin Wall.
The lamentable reason for the lack of straight-forward attacks on
communism is that its underlying principle – collectivism – is
alive and well and accepted by most on the political left and
right. Hard core socialism and communism have metastasized into
various forms of statism, so much that now the proportion of GDP
now under control of government is at an historic high. In a recent
review in Liberty magazine, Bruce Ramsey points out that the
Socialist and Communist parties have disappeared in the US largely
because their principles and agenda were folded into the Democratic
Party in 1932. And since then, the Republicans, with their “me too”
politics, have not been far behind.
The Slippery Slope
of the collective The insidious common element in
all modern collectivist philosophies, whether they be socialist,
communist, or fascist, is the mindset that places c o l l e c t i v
e abstractions about humans above the individual well- being of the
humans that lie below. It is an organic view of society in which
the elements of society, individual people, are lost.
Characterizations about society can only be known by the intellect,
not the senses. Individuals are the real element of any human
collective. Only individuals feel better or worse off – collective
abstractions about individuals do not. Once one crosses to the
slippery slope from the individual to the abstract universe of the
collective, individuals and their well being are submerged and
traded against one another in an endless game of redistribution to
satisfy some
collectivist view that exists only in the mind of the viewer.
People are real,
society is artificial As the French political philosopher Bertrand
de Jouvenel observed some time ago, people are the reality and
society is an artificial convention – an abstraction that exists
only in the mind. In the 19th century when the conception of
society was transformed from being a collection of people to a
collective about people, there became no limit to
the power of the state – anything could be justified in the name of
the collective which had a being superior to that of any
individual.
I continue to be amazed at how many facets of modern culture can be
traced back to this collectivist mind set. I mention only a
few.
I accept
responsibility Collective guilt has replaced
individual guilt and responsibility. For example, I am astounded by
the current and increasingly popular suggestion that I, who was not
alive during US slavery and none of whose ancestors even lived in
the US during the slavery period, should feel personally guilty
about slavery and pay retribution to other individuals likewise
four or five generations removed. Moral transgressions can only be
committed by individuals against individuals. I will accept
responsibility for what I do and have done. I will not accept
responsibility and feel guilty about what other individuals do and
have done, as much as I may abhor it.
Do big groups
make it O.K.? There is a majoritarian
standard of morality in popular culture that is based not on
personal standards, but on
morality relative to what others do. How often do we hear the
reasoning that it’s all right to do something simply because others
are doing it? What clearly violates personal moral standards,
suddenly becomes OK when done by a big enough group. It’s not OK
for me to steal, but it is OK if the state does it. It is the cult
of mob morality. Note that the majoritarian moral standard differs
from common moral relativism based on differing cultural standards.
The
latter argues that morality should be based on the cultural norms
of society and that these can vary widely across cultures. In this
view, there is no such thing as an absolute standard of morality:
if murder and cannibalism are culturally accepted, it’s OK. The
majoritarian standard is based simply on whether others are also
doing it, regardless of any cultural basis for the act.
Feeling guilty about doing well This leads to a related kind
of
collective guilt, one based not on what has been done to others,
but based solely on one’s relative position among others. Normally
guilt is based on what one has done. In this instance, guilt is
based solely on where one is relative to others. If you have
something, even though you got it through your own talent and hard
work, with the voluntary and mutually beneficial cooperation of
others, you should feel guilty because it has placed you in some
kind of illegitimate superior position relative to others. Nothing
is so pitiful as watching a creative and productive individual,
consumed by guilt about his own accomplishments, adopt a
collectivist view of the world. It also lies behind Hayek’s
observation that it is often a very difficult task to convince
businessmen of the merit of what they do. Many successful
businessmen ooze guilt about the good they have accomplished.
Don’t feel guilty?
You’re an insensitive
clod I could go on forever about the
many ways in which collectivism has become a well-accepted part of
modern culture. Group-think is everywhere. Everyone is a victim.
People are identified by what they have in common with others.
Class welfare, and warfare, drives public policy. Social discontent
is fomented by currying envy from below and guilt from above. Ours
is the collectivist age of style and image, groups and groupies,
and their fruitless search for inner-identity and self- esteem in
others. Few want to be seen as out-of-step. Being in step is more
important than the tune of the drummer. Belonging is more
important
than what one belongs to. When something is “in” and “trendy”, woe
to anyone who says “wait a minute”. Public relations replaces
private relations. And many private relations are done not for what
they privately convey, but what they produce for public relations.
Have a disagreement with a woman? That’s sexist, and you can be
accused of sexual harassment. Don’t hire enough minorities? You’re
a racist. Refuse to feel guilty about what happens to others and
about what others do? You’re an insensitive clod.
Democracy is the perfect vehicle for statism. It is the ultimate
triumph of group-think. It is the totalitarian collectivism of the
majority, or worse, the minority that are able to use democracy for
their own ends. We wait for our elected leaders to painlessly do
for us from on high what we are unwilling to do for
ourselves.
It is not surprising that Benson spoke so vigorously against
communism and for limited government. A profoundly religious man,
he
rose to be President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints. A central belief of this church, one often lost even among
its most ardent members, is that one’s earthly life is the time
when one’s soul is tested. For this test to have meaning, a person
must have free agency, be free to choose, be free to make right and
wrong choices. If one is not a free agent, then the test will not
be real. It will be meaningless. Thus, what the government does is
not as important as what the individual does. And for the
individual to be free
to make his own choices, the role of government must be minimal, or
else that individual will not be truly tested here on earth.
Benson’s views clearly reflect this central tenet of the church he
loved.
Communism and socialism may be dead, but collectivism lives. That
is what Benson warns us about in his excellent essay.
John T. Wenders Professor of Economics University of Idaho
March 28, 2002
Rarely is an Introduction written by an academic for a landmark
work of politics and philosophy almost as enlightening as the work
itself. However, such is indeed the case with University of Idaho
professor John T. Wenders’
Introduction to Ezra Taft Bensons’ famous essay, The Proper Role of
Government. Wenders’ Introduction is printed
below. While Benson’s argument was almost certainly influenced by
his religion, his insights remain universal, timely and ever so
relevant. If you would like a booklet of the original Benson essay,
complete with Wenders’ new Introduction, let us know and we’ll send
you one at cost – because we believe that the proper role of
government is a subject of vital concern to all of us – especially
today.

Jerry Roberts, 72-year-old founder of the Marsing Easy Riders
motorcycle club, has an attitude as youthful as the springtime.
“Riding our great area on a motorcycle is like walking 60
miles-an-hour,” he says. “You get the country smell of the crops,
fresh mown hay, flowers and smog-free air. And there are no
windshield posts to block your view.”
Roberts has been a bike aficionado since he was a teenager. Though
he sells cars and trucks†now, as owner of River Country Trucks in
Marsing, he has recently started the bike club to encourage more
local social enjoyment of his favorite activity.
He explains why he prefers motorcycles to all other modes of
transportation. “Stop and think about riding a street bike. You
don’t have to launch it and drive to the lake. You don’t have to
take it way out to the hills and snow. You don’t have to feed it
and saddle it. You don’t have to drive to the golf course or tennis
court. And you don’t have to drive to the airport to fly it. You
just step out to your garage and go!
“My wife and I rode with the big clubs in Boise, but Boise is too
far to go to start a ride. The finest times I’ve had is riding with
others who enjoy the sport, join in the fun and ride this area we
live in. The main objective of the club is to put riders with
similar likes together.”
While the club is open to riders and bikes of all types, most of
the bikers Roberts expects to join up are either tourers or
cruisers. He explains the difference.
“Tourers usually take day rides, weekend rides or vacation/ camping
rides for days or even weeks at a time. Cruisers usually take a
ride in town or in the country for an hour or a half day. Tourers,
when they’re not touring, often join the cruisers for the shorter
area rides.
“Generally speaking, tourers use big machines like Harleys or
Goldwings. From 1200cc to 1800 cc bikes. Cruisers range from 500cc
to 1800cc, with many in the 750cc to 1100cc sizes. It can be
inconvenient to tour with a cruiser, but you can easily cruise with
a touring bike.
“The typical club ride is a half day or whole day event. Most times
to a town or eating place where the members gather for ‘friends,
food and fun’ as one club describes it. The big clubs are mostly
devoted to big tour bikes and long rides, but I believe there is a
need for cruisers to get together too. Personally, I flat do not
have time to tour, so I sold my big bike to buy a piece of real
estate. I now have a good 750cc cruiser and time for half-day
rides. This does not limit the club. I would like to see both tour
and cruise people working more together.
“In the end, any bike that will safely cruise at 65 mph will do the
job. You don’t have to have a new bike or a fancy one. I’m riding a
1983 Yamaha right now and getting plenty of pleasure out of it. And
you don’t have to have all the clothes for riding. You can get the
things as you go along. In clubs, clothes are bought and sold used
all the time.”
Regarding club benefits, Roberts says “club members will have
access to other riders via phone and email. They can get together
and ride when and where they please with whomever they please. Many
friendships are formed in this kind of club atmosphere where
there’s something for everyone.” -RB

Huskies The Marsing Lady Huskies
suffered a no-hitter 11-0 loss to the Parma Panthers in Parma last
week in a Western Idaho Conference softball game.
“We played well for the first three innings and held Parma to
one†run,” Marsing Coach Jay McNeil said. “We hit the ball hard,
†but right at people. They scored three in the fourth and fifth
innings.”
Ashley Bowman and Stephanie Derschon each had five strikeouts and
three walks, while combining to no hit Marsing in Western Idaho
Conference play Tuesday as the Panthers needed just five innings to
beat the Huskies 11- 0 in Parma.
Alisa Phelps and Savanna Blaylock each had home runs for the
Panthers. Blaylock drove in four runs, while Phelps knocked in
three.
The team was rained out for a New Plymouth match up and will play
this Saturday at 11:00.
“With Rimrock we just started out flat and never got on track and
lost 12-6,” McNeil continued. “Chadez pitched well and the defense
was there †we just didn’t hit the ball when we needed to.
Chadez also went 2-4 with 2 runs scored 1 triple and 3 RBI.
“We are not getting the crucial hits when we need them,” McNeil
continued. “It will come. I have a lot of faith in my girls and we
as a team will jell at the right time.”

Jordan Valley scores at
Nyssa Invitational Nyssa ladies break medley record
The Jordan Valley Mustang’s track team placed in 10th place in the
boy’s events and in 11th place in the girl’s events at the Nyssa

medley record.
The Adrian team scored 13 for 12th place in the girl’s events and
Wilder placed seventh in the boy’s events during the meet. Adrian
boy’s team scored in eighth place.
For Jordan Valley, Kelly Conro, 27-3 finished in fourth place in
the shot put and took a silver medal in the discus with
116-9.
From Adrian, Amber Garner placed second with 4-10 in the high
jump.
In the boy’s events, Juan Morales from Wilder won a gold in the
1500-meter run with a time of 4:26.26. Teammate Josh Butler also
won a gold in the 300-meter with a time of 9:55.90. Paul Epperson
of Adrian finished in fourth with 11:40.50.
Ryan Mackenzie, Jordan Valley tied with Andrew Boster for third
place in the long jump with 17-11 and Adrian’s Jason Brown finished
in second with 18-7.
Pat Conro of Jordan Valley finished in fourth place in the discus
with 118 feet four inches behind Jason Dunten of Ontario with 120
feet four inches.
Kuck Witcraft took a fifth place finish for the Antelope’s in the
shot put with 40 feet, 2.05 inches. In the javelin, Roray Walund
from Adrian finished in fourth with 125 feet behind Anthony Garner
from Ontario with 127-4.
In the hurdle events, Shawn Reynolds from Adrian finished in fifth
place with 50.00 behind Bryan Thomason from Weiser with
47.80.
March 21, Megan Hartley, Stefanie Jensen and Erin and Lexi Moody
turned in a time of 2:02 at the Weiser Invitational.
The old record was set in 1987 by the team of Andrea Smith,
Virginia Martinez, Karina Harris and Angie Murphy with a time of
2:04.17.
Jensen runs the last leg of the medley with a 400, while Lexi runs
the third leg with a 200. Out of the gate, is Erin Moody starting
things off, followed by Hartley.
Thursday, during a track meet in Nyssa, the young women ran their
best 4x100 relay of the year, running for an unofficial 52.92
seconds, to take first at the meet. -CP

Coyote country Homedale athlete signs as Coyote in
college hoops Homedale High School’s basketball star Annie Roeser
spent
most of her basketball season in her senior year on the bench due
to a broken leg, but that didn’t stop recruiters from offering her
a deal she couldn’t turn down to shoot hoops as a Coyote next

Roeser signed a letter of intent with Albertson’s college last week
after turning down offers from Eastern Oregon and Walla Walla
Community College for a several reasons. But she said she has
always had her eye on playing for the Coyotes for many years.
“The academics they have here to offer as well as the athletic
program is awesome,” Roeser said before she signed her letter
Wednesday afternoon. “We have been working on this for a while.
This is where I am going to be happy.”
Roeser had several close friends, family her volleyball coach and
an old friend and her former basketball coach Dan Tristan even
arrived to celebrate the moment with Roeser.
“She is a star,” Tristan said. “I always knew she would go far with
her ability. This only is the beginning for Annie.”
Roeser was sidelined five games into the season with a broken right
leg, the 5-foot-7 guard had to watch from the sideline.
Prior to her injury, she was a prominent player for the Trojans.
She averaged 15 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3 steals and 1.5 assists
during her sophomore and junior seasons.
During those two seasons, she was a Class 2A All-Western Idaho
Conference selection, and played for the Idaho Elite summer
basketball team.
Roeser has also excelled in volleyball, runs track and competes in
breakaway roping and barrel racing in rodeo. –CP

Specialist…
Spc. Julie Jones of Marsing and Spc. Christopher Mayberry of
Caldwell worked as intelligence analysts during a large-scale
battle simulation exercise in Wiesbaden, Germany.
Local soldier serves in Germany
Approximately 160 Idaho Army National Guard soldiers participated
in a special Army training exercise in Wiesbaden, Germany from
March 18 to April 3. During the exercise, Idaho soldiers worked
side by side with active duty soldiers and fellow guardsmen and
women from other states in support of a large-scale training
exercise named Urgent Victory 2002.
Spc. Julie Jones of Marsing worked as an intelligence
analyst in the Brigade mission control center. She used an advanced
Military Intelligence system to track the enemy on the simulated
battlefield and also provided support for members of the battle
staff.
“Tracking enemy operations is my main area of responsibility,”
explained Jones. “As with my fellow soldiers, operational security
is also my responsibility.”
Jones worked 12-hour shifts during the 24-hour operations phase of
the training. She worked from 6:30 pm to 6:30 am when she was
relieved by the day shift.
Even though things were pretty busy during a good portion of the
exercise, Jones did have a couple of days to see some of the German
countryside.
“I was able to get out and visit Heidelburg, Kˆln, Mainz and
Manheim,” she explained. She particularly enjoyed shopping in the
local shops and eateries. “The food is interesting,” Jones said
with a big grin on her face. “I have no favorites, I like all
food.”
Jones enlisted in the Idaho Army National Guard in 1996 and
currently serves as an Intelligence Analyst for the 216th Military
Intelligence Company located in Boise. “Go for it! It’s one of the
best decisions you will ever make,” Jones recommended to people
thinking about joining the Guard.
Jones is the daughter of Barbara and Sam Battaglia of Marsing. She
graduated from Marsing High School in 1994.

Co-bank
It was a strange day. I picked up the phone. It hadn’t rung. A lady
said, “Hello.” I said, “Is this Phil?” She said, “No, the phone
didn’t ring. Why did you answer it?” I said, “I thought you’d
call.” She said, “This isn’t Phil.” “Then who is it?” I
asked.
“Tamara” “Why are you calling?” I asked. “Have you heard of
Co-Bank?” I thought, “Co-Bank?” I’d heard of snow bank,
Mo’ Bank, slow bank, po-bank, even status quo bank, but Co-Bank? I
asked, “Must one have a top security CIA clearance to be a
depositor?” Thinking it might be a co-vert bank.
“No,” she replied. “Is it one where each borrower must have a
co-
signer?” “Yes,” she said, “At least two.” “Interesting,” I thought.
“Then there must be a First and Second Co-
Bank.” “Do you service customers regardless of sex?” “Yes,” she
said. “So...it’s a co-ed Co-Bank.” I observed. “Do you make your
own dog
food and let members charge diesel fuel?” “No.” “Hum,” I thought.
“So it’s not a co-op Co-Bank.” “Do you give away
salmon instead of toasters?” thinking it could be a Coho Co-Bank.
“No.” “Serve hot chocolate?” “No, no Co-Co-Co-Bank.” “How about
marketing organisms that digest cow manure?” “Don’t go there,” she
said. “Film?” “No.” “Are you the bank that has tellers dress like
Santa and serve eggnog
in the lobby?” “That’s us.” “Wow! The Co-Ho-Ho-Bank. Maybe you
could loan me some money
for a great“cow deal.” “Sorry,” she said. ‘We’re not a
Co-gro-po-bank!” “Oh!” I said. “What do you do for a living?” she
asked. “I’m a cowboy poet.” “Ho, ho, ho,” she crowed, “In your case
we’re a Co-no-bank!” “Whoa,” I whined! “A Co-No Bank?” “No,” she
said, “A Co-No-No-Bank.”
Why aren’t conservationists
conservative?
Conservationists seem to want to conserve the queerest things but
they’re not at all concerned about conserving things that are
important.
They worry over the difficulties a toad frog might have working for
a living in mudville, but couldn’t care less about the extinction
of a farm family that has helped feed this country for
generations.
They cry in their beers about the demise of the American buffalo
who once covered the plains for miles and miles on end and now
grace only the menus of trendy steakhouses, but deeply resent the
far more useful American-bred beef cattle that forage over a tiny
fraction of that same real estate.
They say they love the timeless glory of nature, but they don’t
have the slightest confidence that it can survive ten more minutes
without their help.
They want to preserve the countryside in a postcard pose, so
they
socialize it andtry to lock it up so nobody can get in to
appreciate it. Don’t walk on the grass. Don’t smell the flowers.
Look but don’t touch. You might break something.
They think the world was better off before human beings arrived,
but you don’t see them lining up to leave the planet.
Conservationists are like bubble babies. In order for their fragile
minds to function, they must live in an unnatural and hermetically
sealed environment which they think
of as reality. They want the Disney rendition of nature placed in
their bubbles with them, and they don’t understand why normal
people don’t want to live in little plastic bubbles too.
The true conservers of all that is good and strong and vulnerable
and vibrant and beautiful and awe-inspiring in the world are not
conservation- ists, who treat nature with the overbearing
possessiveness of an evil stepmother, but rather conservatives, who
treat it like an old friend.
In questions of power, let no more be heard of confidence in man,
but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the
Cinstitution.
–– Thomas Jefferson
Quotable quote
Letters to the editor
Can’t be too busy I see our esteemed prosecuting attorney, Plead Em
Out Eddie, has
decided to plead out a 14 year old who entered an elderly woman’s
home in the early morning hours and raped her. He does it to save
the Owyhee County residents’ money? He still is drawing his salary,
isn’t he? He can’t be too busy, he is taking Linda LeBrane’s suit
against the state for $25,500 pro bono.

of
the Owyhee County Historical Society toured Owyhee area on Sunday.
After meeting at the Swayne Museum, the group visited the Bernard
barn and ferry site on the Snake River, followed by lunch at Givens
Hot Springs. Later they traveled to the early Chinese- built
aqueducts and through Reynolds Creek to the Jonas Bass Ranch. This
Ranch was headquarters for Robert Noble, “Sheep King of Idaho,” at
the turn of the century. The touring group was invited into the
house following an interesting afternoon of inspection of the
tremendous old barn built in 1890 and other ranch buildings.

INDIANS IN FLINT. – Information comes to hand that last Friday
afternoon four men from Eves’ sawmill, in Flint, discovered a fresh
Indian trail near by, and following it up a short distance saw
eight Indians, who took refuge in the rocks and commenced shooting.
The parties being unable to dislodge them from their position in
the rocks, immediately conveyed the information to Flint, and
twenty men were soon en route for the seat of war; but in the
meantime the Lo family had skedaddled. They were followed into the
Jordan Creek Canon, about two miles below Wagontown, and there the
trail was lost.
Considerable Indian “sign” has been seen in the vicinity of Flint
of late and the people are becoming much alarmed in consequence.
They demand protection, which should certainly be granted them.
With a detachment of cavalry stationed on the flat below the town
they could thus be ready for any emergency and the Flintites would
be rendered comparatively secure against the murderous raids of the
savage. We would respectfully call the attention of the Commanding
Officer of this District to the very urgent necessity of affording
protection to our neighbors, and thus prevent a recurrence of those
bloody Indian outrages with which we are all too familiar.
*** MINING, BUSINESS PROSPECTS, ETC. – Placer
mining has commenced in the creek and gulches. As the sleighing is
effectually done away with quartz- hauling has nearly ceased for
the time being, but will soon be resumed again on wagons. A brisk
business is anticipated in every branch of industry carried on in
our camp this season. Everybody is confident and cheerful.
$600,000, the product of our mines for the months of January,
February and March, the depth of Winter, tells a silent but
forcible story. The late unfortunate mining war, we are happy to
say is at an end, and both companies are taking out large
quantities of ore richer than ever. This mining war does not speak
favorable of the moral rectitude of our people, but at the same
time it has demonstrated that we have mines worth contending
for.
*** CLOTHES LINE ROBBED. – One night last week
a party of Indians visited Chalfant and Mangin’s sawmill, near
Wagontown, and finding no other deviltry to do, carried off a large
washing of clothes that had been hung out to dry the day before.
Jack and Chad are swearing vengeance against the aboriginal thieves
for cheating them out of their Sunday linen. Lo has been overtaken
with a tidy fit, and wants to wear boiled shirts.
*** LO PROWLING ROUND. – Within the past few
