OOPS! In our haste, we didn’t factor in the

holiday, so we’re a day later than planned.

CLASS OF 2016 See pages 4-5

This is the fourth issue of the Glenns Ferry Times

& Seasons. We’ve been at

it for a month now. We have tried to provide news, infor-mation and entertainment while providing a platform for advertising. We have

received many positive comments. And there have been some generous dona-tions to the success of the paper. There have been

oversights and slip-ups, and the learning curve is very steep—near vertical. Last issue I discussed that we needed donations to supplement the advertis-

ing income for the paper to survive. Some generous community members have opened up their hearts and their wallets. Today I’m going to be

brutally frank--after four issues, there is one very tired and frustrated editor and his equally tired and frustrated wife. Some peo-ple in the community have

offered to help in one fash-ion or another. Some busi-nesses have said they would advertise. In both cases we have come up short of what it takes to

produce a paper--either in (SEE “Reality Check” on page 2)

Reality Check

Successful Blood Drive

The Glenns Ferry “Curly” Schamber Community Blook Drive held on May 17th was a resounding success. The good people

of this community always seem to rise to the occasion, and this drive was no exception. Forty seven willing donors came to the Veteran’s Hall ready to share their precious blood with those in need. Of those, 8 were deferred for various reasons such as low iron, high blood pressure, or a recent trip to an area where ma-laria-carrying mosquitos hang out. A total of 39 units of blood

were collected to help replenish the Red Cross blood supplies. The goal for the drive was 35 units, which we easily achieved. We rarely miss our mark. In the United States, someone needs a blood transfusion about every two seconds. Red Cross statistics say that each unit of donated blood can help save as many as three lives. A

hearty thanks to the willing donors of Glenns Ferry for the 117 lives they helped save. You’re the best!

Incumbents Fall in Primary Elections Although incumbents running for seats in the US House of Representatives and the US Senate fared well, the primary election held on May 17th was not kind to the incumbents in District 23. Senator Mike Crapo, who ran unopposed, secured the Republican spot on the November ballot, to face his Democratic challenger Jerry Sturgill. Congressman Raul Labrador won the Republican nomination for District 1. He will face Democrat James Piotrowski in November. In District 2, the November

lineup will see Republican Mike Simpson and Democrat Jennifer Martinez on the ballot. In state races, District 23 State Senator Bert Brackett ran unopposed. However, the house of representatives was a different story. In the race for Seat A, Republi-can Christy Zito handed incumbent Rich Wills a loss in his bid for re-election. She

will face Democrat Mary Ann Richards in November. Seat B incumbent Republican Pete Nielsen suffered a resounding loss to challenger Megan Blanksma. There was no Democrat challenger in the race. We thank those who have served us well for so many years, and look forward to November, when we will choose new representatives for the road forward.

We can always count on the school staff to support the Blood Drive.

In the City Council meeting on May 24, the

Council voted to apply for a grant for the “Walk Safe, Cross Safe” program with the Idaho Transportation Department to include a 10% match for the

$100,000 grant. This pro-gram provides for a light system in the road surface at the cross walks that will make those areas more vis-

ible and more safe for school children. Bonnie Layton asked for the Council’s support and authorization to move for-ward with developing the

Heritage Plaza project. Heritage Plaza connects History, Mobility and Pub-lic Safety. The council vot-ed to support with up to

$5,000, if needed, to con-duct a survey of the prop-

erty and to accomplish pro-fessional renderings for the proposed project improve-ments. Also on the agenda was the city ordinance against

keeping farm animals on residential-zoned proper-ties. After some discus-sion, the council voted to grant a temporary waiver to

the ordinance until July 18th when the animals will go to the fair. The waiver applies only to “fair” ani-mals, and only for the 2016 fair season. In order to be

part of the waivered ani-mals, the owner must reg-ister at city hall by June 1st. The terms of the waiv-er include measures to mit-

igate noise, odor, and pests, and the animals

must not be visible from the street. If a complaint is made on the basis of one of the above reasons, immedi-ate compliance with the existing ordinance will be

enforced. Once the temporary waiver was approved, dis-cussion began on a perma-nent solution to the issue.

Councilwoman Susan Case had done extensive re-search on the issue, in-cluding canvassing other cities in Idaho to see how they dealt with the issue.

At one point the mayor suggested that the matter be put off until the budget process was over and there was more space on the city

council agenda. Council-woman Case pushed hard

to have the matter resolved as soon as possible, while the research information was still fresh in everyone’s mind. The council finally agreed to place the item on

the next meeting agenda for discussion and resolu-tion. Mayor Wills gave fur-ther explanation of the new

project planning sheet for capital improvements. Councilwoman Case asked about the procedure for dealing with trouble calls to city hall. She advo-

cated a tracking system to ensure accountability and timeliness on repairs and resolutions. by David Payne

Wills Celebrate

50 Years

The Historic Opera Theatre was the setting for the Golden Anni-versary party for Richard and Connie Wills of Glenns Ferry last Saturday evening. Family and friends gathered to help celebrate this epic milestone. In addition to good food and mu-sic, attendees had the oppor-tunity to make merry with the help of the Karaoke machine. We join in wishing them many happy years to come.

Special Olympics Meet

The Special Olympics Unified Track Meet was held again this year at the Middleton High School during the State High School Track Meet. The Glenns Ferry Special Olympics Team for the 4x100 consisted of athletes Jose Galvan and Kirklynn Arellano, and partners Sage Wootan and Cody Busch. As the school year was coming to an end and with projects due, there was little time for practice. Even so, they ran together like a well-oiled machine, putting forth a good relay time. The meet organizers added the 100-meter dash this year for the athletes to compete in, along with the long jump and softball throw/shot put. Both Jose and Kirklynn ran their personal best times. They also jumped further and threw farther then they ever have in the past. All in all, through rain squalls and cool weather, the athletes and partners had a good time and got to compete against old friends. by Ken Andersen

An Act of Kindness

Here I sit, a little blue.

I don’t know what I want to do.

I’m Just about bored to tears. And yet, only midday nears.

What to do for several

more hours? I’ll seek inspiration from higher powers.

An idea has now come to mind. I’ll use this free time to be kind.

There are plenty of good works to be done. Rewards in Heaven will be won.

An act of charity can be small. Yet, to the receiver, your

deed stands tall.

Maybe they won’t know what you did. In your heart, your kind- ness will be hid.

Either way, it will pass the time.

Wasting the day will not be your crime.

vanilla, 1 tsp salt, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Combine all dry ingredients mixing well. Then add 5

eggs, vegetable oil and the vanilla. Mix until blended

well.

Pour into 9 x 13 inch lightly greased baking dish. Sprin-

kle 1 cup chocolate chips on top. Add one cup chopped

Moina Michael conceived of an idea to wear red poppies on Memorial Day in honor

of those who died serving the nation during war. She

was the first to wear one. In 1922 the VFW adopted the “Buddy Poppy” pro-gram to honor veterans. Local VFW Post 3646 sup-ports the tradition today.

Glenns Ferry High School Honor Society at Glenns Rest

On Memorial Day each year, the Glenns Ferry

High School Honor Society joins Glenns Ferry VFW Post 3646 to place crosses and flags on the graves of all those in the Glenns Ferry Cemetery who have

served this country. This year was no different. Last Thursday, thirteen students proudly placed a white cross bearing a US

Flag on each grave. We can all be proud that our youth carry on this signifi-cant tradition. A carefully crafted map, put together by Gary Nelson, ensures

no one is missed. We sa-lute and honor them all!

What Makes You Smile! Doctor Geoff Williams of the Inter-national Childrens Surgical Founda-tion (ICSF) joined numerous musi-

cians and comedians on the stage at the Historic Opera Theatre last night to celebrate the smile. The comedy and music provided the smiles for those in attendance while Dr. Wil-liams told the attendees of his adven-

tures around the globe helping provide smiles for thou-sands of kids in developing countries who have been deprived of the ability to smile. Facial birth defects and accidents leave many unable to smile like you and I. Surgeries that Dr. Williams and his team of exceptional doctors perform make it possible for these kids to eat

and talk normally, and gives them a reason to smile. This benefit concert was held to provide an oppor-tunity to smile and to hear about those who couldn’t but now can. If you missed the opportunity to attend and have your heart touched, we can provide contact

information for the ICSF if you would like to make a contribution to help someone else smile. by David Payne

Mrs. Alfredson’s 6th grade class during Middle School Portfolio presentations

Portfolio Presentations Students in the 6th grade classes of Mrs. Martin and Mrs Alfredson did their year-end portfolio presentations

on May 18th. The presentations cover four major areas: math, social studies, science and language arts. Each student had to complete a project in each of the four ar-eas. Projects included such things as re-scaling a favor-ite candy wrapper and drawing it at least five times larg-er than the original; picking, studying, and reporting on

a national park; describing their cell model; participat-ing in Patriot’s Pen writing contest. One of the major considerations was how much reflection was shown in the development of their presentations. This year marked the first year that the portfolio concept extended into the high school. Both 9th and 10th graders also

participated in the program and it will ultimately extend to 11th and 12th grades as well. The editor was invited to help judge one session of presentations and was real-ly impressed By David Payne

Advice from Recent College Graduates

Grades aren’t everything: get out of the books and the library and get knee-deep in whatever it is that you think you might want to do. College is all about preparing yourself for a career and becoming a contributing member of society – it’s hard to do that if you spend four years doing nothing but reading text-books and studying. Employers and people in general care more about what you’ve done than what you know (or rather, what you think you know…)

Experience something new: college is about trying out new things and experiencing things you haven’t tried before. Get involved in service organizations, join a club, take up a new hobby, try new foods, travel to a place you’ve never tried be-fore. This will be one of the last big chunks of time you get, so make the most of it. The memories you make now will last forever.

Be okay with uncertainty: WWII general and U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower once said, “Plans are nothing, but plan-ning is everything.” It has also been said that no plan survives contact with the real world. Have goals for your life, and know what steps you need to take to work towards them, but don’t be heartbroken if those plans don’t work. Readjust, reevalu-ate, and always be mindful of unexpected opportunities that pop up as you go along. Sometimes the things you find along the way are more important than the things you were looking for in the first place. by Curt Payne

Branch out: it is easy to want to stay with things that are famil-iar to you. Yes, you are comfortable in the house you grew up with and the way your family did things. Yes, you may love your squad. But, there is more than just one way to do things and more friends out there than the ones you now know. It is easy to feel comfortable with what you know, but that can limit you immensely. The world can be such a small place, OR it can be a huge place – the choice is up to you!

Learn to be flexible: I was the little kid who would cry if we went to Burger King when the original plan was to go to McDonalds, so I know what it is like to have a hard time being flexible. During your college years, you will have many oppor-tunities to interact with many people who will do things differ-ently than you. Rather than immediately deciding that person is wrong, or their way of doing something is wrong, observe! Your roommate might fold her clothes differently than your mom did for you growing up. Instead of judging her, try it out and see what you think. Many of the opinions I cherished while growing up have changed. I realized my parents did their best raising me, but there is not just one way to fold clothes, do dishes, etc. Learn to be flexible, form your own (educated) opinions, and think for yourself. by Kymberly Stone

Final Exam This past fall semester, at Duke University, there were two sophomores who were taking Organic Chem-istry and who did pretty well on all of the quizzes, mid-terms, labs, etc. Going into the final exam, they had sol-id "A's." These two friends were so confident going in-to the final that the weekend before finals week (even though the Chem. final was on Monday), they decided to go up to University of Virginia to a party with some friends. So they did this and had a great time. However, they ended up staying longer than they planned, and they didn't make it back to Duke until early Monday morning. Rather than taking the final then, they found Professor Aldric after the final and explained to him why they missed it. They told him that they went up to Virginia for the weekend, and had planned to come back in time to study, but that they had a flat tire on the way back and didn't have a spare and couldn't get help for a long time. So they were late getting back to cam-pus. Aldric thought this over and agreed that they could make up the final on the following day. The two guys were elated and relieved. So, they studied that night and went in the next day at the time that Aldric had told them. He placed them in separate rooms, handed each of them a test booklet and told them to begin. They looked at the first problem, which was something sim-ple about free radical formation and was worth 5 points. "Cool" they thought, "this is going to be easy." They did that problem and then turned the page. They were unprepared, however, for what they saw on the next page. It said: (95 points) "Which tire?"

Look Natural It was graduation day and Mom was trying to take a picture of their son in a cap and gown, posed with his father. "Let's try to make this look natural "she said. "Junior, put your arm around your dad's shoul-der." The father answered, "If you want it to look natural, why not have him put his hand in my pocket?"

Love, Dad After Graduating from High School, David moves away from home to study at University. One of his letters home reads:

Dear Father, University i$ really great. I am making lot$ of friend$ and $tudying very hard. With all my $tuff, I $imply ¢an't think of any-thing I need, $o if you would like, you can ju$t $end me a card, a$ I would love to hear from you.

Love, Your $on.

After receiving his son's letter, the father immediately replies by sending a letter back. Dear David, I kNOw that astroNOmy, ecoNOmics, and oceaNOgraphy are eNOugh to keep even an hoNOr student busy. Do NOt forget that the pursuit of kNOwledge is a NOble task, and you can never study eNOugh. Love, Dad

The only way a seed grows into

a plant is if it gets the proper

care---food, water, weeding,

pruning and so forth.

As graduates, you are each like

a fresh seed. You decide where the seed will be planted

and the care it will receive. You will make the decisions

that determine if your seed grows into a productive

and beneficial plant or if it starves and dies for lack of

proper care. Choose well!

We wish you success and happiness.

a small sense of pride and it will encourage you to do

another task and another and another. ... And, if by

chance you have a miserable day, you will come

home to a bed that is made—that you made—and a

made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow

Cowboy Wisdom

Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.

Life is not about how fast you run, or how high you climb, but how well you bounce.

A bumblebee is faster than a John Deere tractor.

Forgive your enemies. It messes with their heads.

It don’t take a very big person to carry a grudge.

The biggest troublemaker you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you shave his face in the mirror eve-ry morning.

First Job A 21-year-old is hired by a hardware store. He shows up for his first day of work at 8 AM sharp.

The boss welcomes him, then hands him a broom. “First, sweep out the store. Then I’ll show you where the window cleaning equipment is.”

“Sir,” the young man pro-tests. “You can’t be serious. I’m a college graduate.”

“Oh, sorry,” says the man-ager, pointing to the broom. “No problem. I can show you how that thing works.”

96-year-old Bank Note

The following is an actual letter that was sent to a bank by a 96 year-old woman. The bank manager thought it amusing enough to have it published in the New York Times. ---------------------------- To whom it may concern, I am writing to thank you for bouncing my check with which I endeavored to pay my plumber last month. By my calculations, three nanoseconds must have elapsed between his depositing the check and the arrival in my account of the funds needed to honor it. I refer, of course, to the automatic monthly transfer of funds from my modest savings account, an arrangement which, I admit, has been in place for only thirty-one years. You are to be commended for seizing that brief window of opportunity, and also for debiting my account $30 by way of penalty for the inconvenience caused to your bank. My thankfulness springs from the manner in which this incident has caused me to rethink my errant finan-cial ways. I noticed that whereas I personally attend to your telephone calls and letters, when I try to contact you, I am confronted by the impersonal, overcharging, pre-recorded, faceless entity which your bank has recently become. From now on, I, like you, choose only to deal with a flesh-and-blood person. My mortgage and loan repayments will therefore and hereafter no longer be automatic, but will arrive at your bank, by check, addressed personally and confidentially to an employee at your bank whom you must nominate. Be aware that it is an offense under the Postal Act for any other person to open such an envelope. Please find attached an Application Contact Status form which I require your chosen employ-ee to complete. I am sorry it runs to eight pages, but in order that I know as much about him or her as your bank knows about me, there is no alternative. Please note that all copies of his or her medical his-tory must be countersigned by a Notary Public, and the mandatory details of his/her financial situation (income, debts, assets and liabilities) must be accompanied by documented proof. In due course, I will issue your employee with a PIN number which he/she must quote in dealings with me. I regret that it

cannot be shorter than 28 digits but, again, I have modeled it on the number of button presses required of me to access my account balance on your phone bank service. As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Please allow me to level the playing field even further. When you call me, you will now have a menu of options on my new voice mail system to choose from.

Please press the buttons as follows: 1 To make an appointment to see me. 2 To query a missing payment. 3 To transfer the call to my living room in case I am there. 4 To transfer the call to my bedroom in case I am sleeping. 5 To transfer the call to my toilet in case I am attending to nature. 6 To transfer the call to my mobile phone if I am not at home. 7 To leave a message on my computer, a password to access my computer is required. Password will be communicated to you at a later date to the Authorized Contact. 8 To return to the main menu and to listen to options 1 through 7. 9 To make a general complaint or inquiry. The contact will then be put on hold, pending the at- tention of my automated answering service. While this may, on occasion, involve a lengthy wait, uplifting music will play for the duration of the call.

Regrettably, but again following your example, I must also levy an establishment fee of $50 to cover the setting up of this new arrangement. Please credit my account after each occasion.

May I wish you a happy, if ever so slightly less prosperous, New Year. Your Humble Client… (Remember: This was written by a 96 year old woman) Reprint from the internet
