Local Ball Player’s Story
Michael Crane’s Blog:
My Basketball Story
It all started in Phoenix,
Arizona, where I was born.
I was only there for a short
amount of time. My mother always told me if I
stayed in phoenix I wouldn’t be where I am today
mentally because of my
father that was absent all
my life. I considered my
older sister and my mom
as a father figure to me as
well as what they already
were. So my mother
packed my older sister and
me up and literally left
everything we had in phoenix and moved to a small
City in Idaho called Glenns
Ferry. In such a small city
it was easy to excel in
sports. I was a lot bigger,
stronger, and faster than a
lot of the other kids in the
community so I never really had to work to be great.
I gained a lot of recognition through my High
School career when it
came to football and basketball receiving scholarship letters from a lot of
different schools and AllState Honors and awards.
Only thing I had on my
mind was D1 NCAA. It was
D1 NCAA or nothing. Well,
I waited and waited and
the offers never came from
the D1 schools and I felt I
had failed, knowing I
would have to settle for a
smaller school. I still hadn’t made the decision between football or basketball, it wasn’t until the last
minute I chose to put everything I had in basketball
and let football be nothing
more than a memory.
I chose to attend Walla
Walla Jr. College. It wasn’t
until I got to college that I
realized
that
everyone
around me was just as
athletic and strong as I
was and I struggled with
that because I was always
use to being the most athletic player on the court.
My mind set was still the
same after my two years at
a Jr. College it was D1 or
nothing. Well, after my two
years I had received only
two scholarships offers
both from NAIA school so
once again I thought I had
failed.
I chose Eastern Oregon
University to
continue
playing because I knew
they at least played D1
teams. When I arrived on
campus the coach initially
wanted me to redshirt--it
wasn’t until I proved to
the minutes I got before.
That year at Eastern Oregon we were ranked #1 in
the nation finished with
the best record in school
history and made the national tournament. I went
from potentially redshirting, to a bench player, to a
starter and was voted Defensive Player of the year
for the entire conference.
After my career at EOU I
wanted to take my chance
at playing professional.
Some of my teammates
him in practice that I was
good enough to play in the
season. This was the first
time in my life where I
hadn’t started for a team
and I took it personal because coming off the
bench wasn’t something I
wanted to do. It wasn’t until mid-season when I finally got my chance to
start from coming off the
bench and producing in
looked at me like I was
crazy for saying that. My
EOU senior year head
coach even told one of the
teammates that he loved
me as a person but I just
wasn’t good enough to
play at the next level. Didn’t matter to me. I moved
back to Phoenix and
worked out with a professional trainer named Adam Wilson. I worked out
It’s Been a Year
With this issue, the Glenns Ferry Times & Seasons
has been up and running for a year. It hasn’t been an
easy year. The staff (my wife and I) have pulled all nighters to get the paper to press on time, and we’ve rearranged our lives so we could be here to get it out.
We’ve gotten outstanding support from some in the community, but have also had to dog businesses to pay for
advertising they’ve placed. While we often don’t remember what we had for breakfast, WE are typically faced
SEE “A Year” on page 3
the whole summer developing my game-countless
hours in the gym, mostly
my offensive game because
I was only known as a defensive player in college.
This is where I really
learned the skill and work
ethic it took to become
great. There is a lot of
mental preparations as
well as physical to play at
a higher level and Adam
installed them into me.
Later that fall I got my
chance to play in a summer league in Lebanon
(Asia) to showcase my talent for teams to sign me.
After about two months in
Lebanon I hadn’t been
signed and returned home
and it was at that time I
almost gave up on basketball. Some of my closest
friends told me that I
would be just like every
other athlete that never
knew when to give up on a
lost dream. Then replaying
what coaches and teammates had told me. It was
then when I decided they
were right and started
looking for a regular job. I
was working for an insurance company and after a
week of working I told myself, this isn’t for me. This
isn’t the life I pictured for
myself,
knowing
deep
down that I was good
enough and it was at the
exact moment that I literally put everything I had
into basketball and that
upcoming summer. I was
in the gym multiple times
a day working on my own
craft over and over and
remembering what my
friends,
coaches,
and
teammates told me and
how my whole life I felt like
I had failed to reach where
I wanted to be. At the
same time I was reaching
out to different players
overseas and teams, sending my film out waiting to
get another opportunity. It
wasn’t until late July when
an agent got in contact
with me through a friend
that was playing in China
and wanted me to sign
with
his
agency
(LUBasket). I instantly
said yes and within a
month he had a contract
for me from a team in
Spain that saw something
in me that other people
didn’t. After everything I
had gone through and how
many times I had to prove
to people I was good
enough and myself I broke
down and cried because I
knew that I was so close to
giving up. So close to letting people around me tell
me what I could and
couldn’t do. A week before
I signed my contract officially my Grandpa passed
away and a week after that
my cousin was killed. So
this contract was such a
blessing to me with everything I was going through
emotionally.
This season in Spain our
team (CB Cazorla) is
ranked #1 in the EBA D
classification and currently leading the group in
playoffs. This is the best
and furthest the team has
gone in the history of the
organization. I’m averaging
10.5 Ppg, 6.1 Rebs, 3.3
Assists and shooting 54%
percent from the field and
39.4% from 3 point. Recently in playoffs we secured an automatic next
round spot with a win this
last week Photo
in which
had
by DavidI Payne
27Points 7 rebounds 7 assists. A championship is
the only thing on our
minds. For me it’s a blessing to be where I am and I
don’t take any of it for
granted. To be able to look
back at everything I’ve
been through and the
things I had to overcome is
beyond a blessing, it’s not
taking “no” for an answer.
It’s believing in your own
vision even when other
people can’t see it ».

Obituary
Junior Jay Larson
Junior Jay Larson, age 89,
of Glenns Ferry, passed
away at his home, on Sunday, April 9, 2017. A Celebration of Life was held on
Saturday, April 15th, 2017,
at the VFW Hall in Glenns
Ferry. Cremation was under
the direction of Rost Funeral Home, McMurtrey Chapel
of Mountain Home.
Junior was born in
Churchill, Idaho, on July 5,
1927, to Gustaf and Johanna Andreason Larson. He
was the youngest of eight
children. He attended
school in Dietrich, Idaho,
and went on to be a rancher with his father and brothers, immediately out of school. He went on to join the US
Army during the Korean War and served his country with
great pride.
Junior was one of the founding members of The Idaho
Cowboy Association and rode the rodeo circuit for many
years. In 1950, he won All-Around-Cowboy honors for
Twin Falls County. It was the rodeo that brought him
together with his long-time love. Junior married Helen
Clifford Lawrence on December 24, 1952, in Jerome.
They moved on to settle in Glenns Ferry in 1973, where
they spent the remainder of their 53 years together.
Junior applied his skills in construction, and operating
heavy equipment. After retirement, he went on to use
those skills in the farming community on Sailor Creek
and Grindstone. Later in life, he turned his attentions
and able hands to helping the Glenns Ferry Community
and the VFW Post 3646. Never one to be trapped indoors,
Junior enjoyed many outdoor activities including hunting and fishing. Sometimes he could be found sitting on
his front porch enjoying the view of the Snake River.
Junior was preceded in death by his wife, two sons, a
grandson, two great-grandsons, parents and siblings. He
is survived by his daughter Barbara and her husband
Steve May; grandchildren Brandie (Eyad) Hamad, Marla
Cress and Derrick (Tracey) May; great-grandchildren
Catherine (Lance) Rousey, Donovan Hamad, Megan
(William) Irving, Austin Cress, Keyleigh Cress, Cheyenne
May, Natasha May and Krystal May.
The family is asking in lieu of flowers, donations in
Junior Larson’s name be made to the VFW, Post 3646,
P.O. Box 483, Glenns Ferry, ID, 83623, for projects and
scholarships.
THANKS
We would like to thank everyone for their
love and support during our difficult time.

Volunteers
Needed
Imagine going to a new
town and not knowing
much about it. You have
heard good things about
it, but don’t know the details: the history of the
town, entertaining things
to do, things to see,
Wouldn’t it be great if you
could go to one place and
find out all this information about that town?
Our own Chamber of
Commerce Visitors Center
is just that place! Cheerful
volunteers are able to answer
questions
about
Glenns Ferry for many
visitors each year.
The
“Chamber Corner” Visitors
Center is manned Thursday through Saturday
from April through October to assist visitors to
Glenns Ferry in making
their time here in town
enjoyable.
As ambassadors for our
town, the Chamber Corner
volunteers spend a few
hours at the Corner and
help any visitors that
come in. A vast knowledge
of Glenns Ferry history
and all there is to do and
see is not necessary. Brochures, pamphlets and
the internet make all the
information you
need
readily available. Volunteers sign up for a shift of
a few hours as often as
they wish. Their job at the
Chamber Corner is to be
the first friendly face visitors see when they come
to our town, and to help
them with whatever questions they may have.
Some volunteers bring a
book they have been wanting to read, cross stitch
projects, or they just surf
the web when they are not
helping visitors.
Annette Harvey is the
Coordinator for the Chamber Corner Volunteers.
She will be happy to help
you sign up to help for a
few hours each week or
whenever you are able.
Our town has much to
offer and visitors just need
a little help to see it for
themselves. Call Annette
at 366-7172 to schedule
your shift at the Chamber
Corner. Help make our
town a welcoming place!

The Glenns Ferry Pilots had a very exciting baseball
week 11 - 14 April, beating Wilder 6 - 1, Gooding J.V.
17 - 16 and Horseshoe Bend 16 - 2. In the Wilder

scoring 2 runs with two outs, the Pilots erupted for 8
more runs to trail 16 - 15 going into the 7th inning.
The game was won in the seventh, when Alonso Ortiz
knocked in Kody Hensley to tie the game and then
came around to score the winning run on a wild pitch.

McFarland had a key double with 2 RBI’s during the
pilot’s rally in the 6th inning. Also having hits for

On a cool windy day against Horseshoe Bend, the

After giving up a hit to the first batter he faced, Kody
Arellano dominated, pitching the rest of the game. He
allowed no earned runs and recorded 14 strikeouts out

the Pilots stand 2 - 0 in league play. They play at Wilder on the 18th of April. Their next home games will 24
April (Wendell) and 27 April (Melba).
A Year
(Continued from front page)
with reminding advertisers
of deadlines, and making
last-minute accommodations. It’s been tough, and
about midway through
every issue, there is a tremendous urge to throw in
the towel.
We receive many very
kind comments about the
paper and now have a
subscription base of 7 “in
town,” and 7 “out of town”
subscribers. So, we’ve
added the tasks of delivering and mailing.
We’ve been in the position of literally counting
pennies to see if we had
enough in the bank to pay
for printing and getting
delivered “one more” issue. So far, we’ve been
very fortunate to have had
the pennies to do it. That
is, as long as the staff
compensation
package
remains at zero.
Having said all that, be
it known that we could
NOT have done this without support from the community. Faithful, regular
contributors make it possible. Without them we
would have quit long ago.
While we like to think we
have the imagination to
put it all together, without
the internet and conscientious community contributors, we are nothing. At
critical financial times,
random people, out of the
clear blue, have kindly
reached into their wallets
and made a donation.
We are still trying to
perfect the ability to get 36
hours out of every 24 that
God gives us--so far, no
luck. We’ll keep trying for
a bit longer.
In the meantime, we invite any and everyone to
make a contribution. Everyone enjoys Steve Parke’s
stories. I’m fairly certain
he’s not the only one
who’s
had
humorous
things happen in life.

Did You Know . . .
That this column has
been a wildly erratic experiment? I started with the
best of intentions, to bring
to the forefront all the wonderful things we have within our community, to share
the incredible talents of
our people, and to expose
our most generous hearts.
While I still want to do
that, I seem to have digressed into an article of a
more personal nature.
And in that, I am not
sure I am what I wanted to
be . . . or have become for
that matter. Maybe a journalist of sorts, an opinionated fool, a passionate politicizer, or have I simply
become a mouth piece for
myself? It is probably the
latter, or a mixture of all.
From some of your reactions, there are those of
you who actually read the
column and seem to enjoy
the venue. Those of you
that I don’t hear from,
well . . . I probably don’t
want to know.
While it might sound
easy to express your opinion, it is not. I can make
fun of myself, but never
you. I can reveal my secrets, but never yours. I
can share my dreams, but
dare not discount yours.
So you see, opinions are
not always easy when you
take into consideration
other people’s feelings, beliefs and actions.
Why is it so easy to criticize each other? To find
fault? To put something
down? To even tease others
about those things with
which we disagree? To
make a point, I will use our
still boiling pot of politics.
You make like or dislike
the newly elected administration. In this country,
By June Peterson
that is our privilege. So
how do we deal with our
differences?
We all hold
dearly to our opinions. We
all desire to be “right”. I
saw a tee-shirt the other
day. It said, “Build a bridge
and get over it”. Think
about that. Can’t we agree
to disagree and continue to
work in unity (build a
bridge). Or do we hold tight
to our “right to be right”
and cause complete disharmony (and never get
over it).
In doing a lot of studying
the last couple years, I
have come to the conclusion that one reason I need
to be “right” is because I
am insecure and just a little prideful. A truly humble
person doesn’t need to be
“right” to succeed. Humility has been defined as
“strength under control”; it
is not being a doormat.
Grace is forgiving the other
person when they don’t
deserve it; and mercy is
not getting what you truly
deserve. If we take these
three: humility, grace, and
mercy and add a little love
to the mix, we have a combination that will define us
as a community united for
the common good. We will
support, not tear down. We
will build up, not destroy.
We will encourage, not criticize. Does it sound a little
utopian? Maybe. We won’t
know until we try.
Working together. Everyone pulling their share.
Encouraging those who are
lost. Filling the well with
words that cause enthusiasm to over-flow into the
streets. I grew up in a “can
do” era. I still believe I can
do anything I really set my
mind to, no matter how
difficult it may be. The
easy way isn’t part of that
philosophy. Nothing worth
doing is ever easy, but it is
extremely satisfying in the
end.
If we spend our time
“knocking” everything we
don’t agree with, we are
filling the well all right, but
with slippery, slimy goo
that will cause people to
doubt, stumble, fall and
quit. I don’t want to be a
person who is responsible
for failure. So forgive me
my Pollyanna attitude . . .
or better yet, join me in it,
and there will be nothing
beyond our reach. Do you
want the community to
thrive? It will! Do you want
more businesses in town?
There will be! Do you want
people to move here? They
will! Do you believe it? You
better! Because what you
believe, is what you will
get. Think about it.
Elmore County’s Got Talent
Elmore County’s Got
Talent is gearing up for its
second year of showcasing
the talents of our community.
A function of the
Elmore County Fair & Rodeo, Elmore County’s Got
Talent was the brainchild
of Renee Forsberg and
Brandi
Garlitz,
both
Mountain Home residents.
With focus on raising
awareness and drawing
attendance to the Elmore
County Fair & Rodeo,
Elmore County’s Got Talent competition is held a
week before the fair opens
in July.
Auditions for this fun
event will be held on Saturdays, May 6th and June
3rd at 10:00 am. The auditions will be held at the
Church of the Nazarene in
Mountain Home located at
950 N 7th E. There is a
$25 dollar audition fee per
act, singer, or group. The
money is used to fund the
prize purse for each win-
ner. First place will receive
$250, second place $125,
and third place $75. In
addition, first through
third place winners will
have the opportunity to
showcase their talents on
stage at the Elmore County Fair on Friday and Saturday night. This year’s
fair dates are July 16-22,
2017.
Last summer ten hopefuls competed for top honors. Sophie ForsbergCrotty received first place
with her rendition of Trisha Yearwood’s song How
Do I live. Second place and
third place went to Malia
Rivera and Camie Dugan,
respectively.
This year the committee
is hoping to have a bigger
and better show. The audition committee is excited
to see what great talents
will audition this year. The
show is open all amateur
acts. Individuality is welcomed. However, the com-
mittee asks that all prospective auditions be appropriate for a family
friendly environment.
The final competition will
be held Saturday, July 8th
at Carl Miller Park in
Mountain Home at 12:00
pm (noon). It will be an outdoor concert event and local vendors will be on hand
with food and other fun activities. For more information on how to audition,
inquiries may be directed to
the Elmore County’s Got
Talent Facebook page or by

This
redneck
was
parked behind a trailer
load of pigs near the zoo
in Washington, DC. As
the truck drove away–one
of the pigs fell out. The
redneck walked over and
picked the pig up and
placed it in the front seat
of his truck.
He was sitting there looking puzzled when a policeman walked up and
asked what was going on.
He told the story and the
policeman recommended
he take the pig to the zoo.
The redneck was sitting
in the same spot the next
day with the pig sitting
up in the front seat. The
cop said “didn’t I ask you
to take this pig to the
zoo?”
The redneck replied “I
did and he liked it so well
–today I’m taking him to
the movies!” .”

Words of Wisdom
Ev e rybod y
rec ei v es
words of wisdom from various sources. Some should
be ignored, some should
not, and some require minor alterations.
Dad once said, “A lifelong aspiration to be a
cowboy is similar to aspiring to be a slave. Never did
meet a rich professional
cowboy. Learning to ride
well, to rope, being a
horseman, and outsmarting a cow are skills that
over your life will come in
mighty handy. But there is
more to life than getting
up early, saddling a horse
and riding all day in a blizzard for day wages while
your boss takes the horse
trailer somewhere to pick
you up and is usually late,
if he shows up at all.” This
was uttered after dark in a
blizzard waiting for the
trailer when I was about
seven or eight years old.
The same night Dad
said,” I’ve got to get a decent trailer and pick-up. I
hate having our neighbors
being the boss.” The same
night, “Riding home after a
blizzard makes you appreciate how pretty the dessert is at one in the morning.”
While sorting cattle at
Dorin Butlers ranch after
the fall gather, Dad said,
“A lot of people can stay
on a horse, but a real
horseman keeps his hands
close to the horse.” This
was uttered right after the
following episode:
After a day in the saddle
and constant pestering
from me to switch horses
so I could ride a real cow
horse and one that I didn’t
have to either kick constantly or threaten with a
willow stick, Gretchen
(Dad’s horse) looked like a
Cadillac to me. The sort
was done and all that was
left to do was trail our
cows, bulls and calves five
or six miles home. For
those of you that have
never done this, there are
a few tricks. The first is to
move the whole herd to
water, let them drink, then
get them a ways down the
trail, stop again and make
certain that mother and
babies have been reunited.
The last step in the procedure is the most important! Cows and calved
have a memory that rivals
the greatest geniuses of
mankind. To the square
foot, both remember the
last place they were together. When they become
separated, they will attempt to return to that
spot regardless of the distance and I mean regard-
less. You can spend all
day moving and sorting a
mixed herd, but if the time
isn’t taken to re-mother
the pairs, then a day in a
casino would have been
much more productive and
lots less work. At least at a
casino, chances are your
scattered money will never
get back together. If time
isn’t taken to mother-up
your cattle, it is a sure bet
the deck will be reshuffled.
A few strategic errors
were made. Error number
one: the cattle had been
on dry pasture. When we
separated the two herds,
Dorin’s were cut into green
pasture. The calves were
all marked so determining
ownership was easy during the sort. We just cut
either his calves or cows
into his pasture, not
mothered. When cows hit
green pasture they don’t
even think about their babies, confident when their
bellies were full all they
had to do was return to
the last place the calves
nursed.
Error number two: The
nearest water for our herd
was next to where the sort
had taken place and Dad
decided to do our motherup there. Error three: It

News from the Capital
From our Representative
Christy Zito: The 2017 session
is over. I am looking forward to
warm weather, the work to be
done on the little farm, and visiting with citizens to hear your
voice and be prepared to represent your voice in the next session. The chicks are getting their
feathers, the baby goats are
growing and the pup is learning
house manners.
I have enjoyed every moment
serving as a legislator for District
23A. To be able to give voice to
those you represent is such an
honor and yet so humbling.
When asked what the highlights
of the session were, one thing
that came to mind was being
able to read on the house floor
a letter sent by someone in my
district. I absolutely got to represent the voice of the people.
During the last two full days of
the session we were presented
with the decision to indebt the
state $300,000,000.00 (million)
additional dollars. This was money that can only be used for road
construction in 5 specific areas
of the state and will not be available until 2018. “It will be paid
back with money from the
feds." Remember, we are "the
feds." The state will be paying
8% interest on this money. We
are told that Idaho runs a balanced budget. I find it hard to
accept when close to a third of
our budget is our federal money,
and our federal bank account is
$20,000,000,000.00
(trillion)
overdrawn.
The grocery tax repeal was left
to the last day, a veto by the
Governor cannot be overridden
with out calling the legislators
back into session-- and only the
governor can do that. It was proposed by some citizen minded
Representatives, that rather
Community Referral Center
Seeks Board Members
Have you, your business or organization been overwhelmed with the many needs of our small community?
This community is not unlike others; our friends and
neighbors fall into hard times and require assistance on
occasion. As individuals, many of us often wonder
“What can I do to help?”
Twelve Baskets Cooperative Ministry is working toward enabling our community to help those who have
needs in a more efficient and collective manner. In establishing a Community Referral Center, the abilities
and resources of our community would be combined to
better aid those in need.
This center would be set up to help with immediate
needs such as food and lodging. It would also address
disaster needs such as fire or floods. Help would be
provided for long term needs such as housing and utilities. The last phase would be helping people with lifestyle changes, financial counseling or parenting skills.
By sharing the load between all of our organizations,
churches and businesses, it would enable the community to help in a variety of ways without the burden falling
on just one group.
The Community Referral Center would provide one
point of contact for all needs. From there a Board of
Directors would determine the best course of action for
that unique situation. By working together, we can provide more and better help to those within our area.
Dedicated and resourceful people are being sought to
serve on the Board of Directors. If you are interested,
please pick up more information and an application at
Twelve Baskets Cooperative Ministry, 287 S. Commercial, Glenns Ferry.

than Sine Die, we recess for 10
days and come back and either
retire the session or repeal a
veto, as the Governor had already expressed his displeasure
with the grocery tax repeal. The
Governor wanted tax relief for
corporations. We were told by
leadership that there was not
enough in the body who would
stand to override a veto.
Castle Doctrine is alive and
well. This well-crafted constitutionally correct proposed legislation is ready for a hearing the
first week of the next session. I
am so proud of those 19 legislators who cosponsored this in the
last session. There are brave
patriots in the legislature, and
the number is growing, who are
strong and will represent your
voice, who will embrace liberty
and work tirelessly to ensure
that it is protected for future
generations of Idahoans
A tired pastor was at
home resting, and through
the window he saw a
woman approaching his
door. She was one of those
too-talkative people, and
he was not anxious to talk
with her. He said to his
wife, “I’ll just duck upstairs and wait until she
goes away.”
An hour passed, then he
tiptoed to the stair landing
and listened… not a
sound. He was
very
pleased, so he started
down calling loudly to his
wife, “Well, My Dear, did
you get rid of that old bore
at last?”
The next moment he
heard the voice of the
same woman caller, and
she couldn’t possibly have
missed hearing him. Two
steps down, he saw them
both staring up at him. It
truly seemed a crisis moment.
The quick-thinking pastor’s wife answered, “Yes,
Dear, she went away over
an hour ago. But Mrs.
Jones has come to call in
the meantime, and I’m
sure you’ll be glad to greet
her.” http://www.tmn.today/

This session, citizen-centered
legislators, who are not standard
establishment fall-in-line representatives pushed back against
the broken process. While the
media may continue to stir up
controversy concerning the session, the reality is, many legislators are beginning to question
the top down control of leadership and the suppression of the
voice of citizens.
Every action made by these
citizen minded legislators was in
accordance with the constitution
of the State of Idaho, the Constitution of the United States, and
the rules of Masons Manual. This
offended some who are devoted
to the “process” and not to their
constituents, or the oath of
office they took. Citizens are
ready to be represented by their
elected representatives and no
longer want to be told that all is
well--that those we elected will

being close to supper time,
Dorin decided to let his
riders go eat and change
horses before they mothered. He would watch the
herd. Unfortunately, some
of the cows that were sorted early also got their bellies full earlier than anticipated. Error four: Dad and
I changed horses: this also
meant we changed saddles. Gretchen (that I was
now riding) understood the
situation better than any
of us. When a range cow
decided to go to her calf
only the best fence can
deter her. The horse that I
had been riding in deference to my age, six or seven at the time, was
trained, but took care not
to exert herself unless it
meant going home on the
dead run.
Dad and I were carefully
holding our herd on water
and letting the mothers
find their own babies.
When all at once we heard
such a clatter and it wasn’t “merry Christmas to all
and to all a good night,” It
was more like Whoa you
sob, turn you sob, stop
her, here she comes. The
only thing that made me
think of Christmas was the
way that old cow flew over
the fence. Reminded me of
flying reindeer.
This was a catastrophe.
If one cow gets out they all
get out and start looking
for their calves. Day wasted. Dad momently forgot
what horse he was on and
threw the spurs to April
(my horse). She was aimed
home and needed very little prompting. The last
thing I heard as he went
out of sight was “Steve, get
around her”.
Gretchen,
being
the
horse that she was, imme-
take good care of us. We claim
the liberties granted to us by our
Creator, outlined by the constitution--defended and protected
by the blood of those who came
before us.
This summer will be filled with
opportunities to visit with citizens of the district. I am looking
forward to getting to know as
many as possible. There will be
monthly meets in each county in
the district. If you are interested
in attending or if you would like
to host one or have a group host
a question and answer, please
contact me at:
[email protected], or
[email protected], message me on Facebook, or phone
(208) 590-4633.
It is a pleasure to represent
you. We can and will make a
difference.
Ever in Liberty, Christy
diately assessed the situation and needed little
prompting, let alone the
willow switch that I hadn’t
relinquished thinking all
horses needed incentive.
She understood willow
switches, the results were
that if I wanted to hurry
then she would hurry. It
shouldn’t take much of an
imagination to visualize
how long a two and half
foot tall cowboy’s legs are
and what it takes to stay
in the saddle, but one
thing is required, that being the pot handle. I still
have that saddle. I must
have had a pretty good
grip in those days, because the horn still has
my left hand prints in the
leather. That was good.
Having about two feet too
much rein in my right
hand straight in the air in
plain sight of Gretchen
and still waving the willow
switch wasn’t good. She
shifted from high to overdrive. With one eye on the
cow, the other on the
switch, three or four
jumped ditches, and numerous
ninety
degree
turns, and that
cow
jumped back in and landed right beside her own
calf.
When all this started,
Dorin’s riders were already
on their way back and witnessed the whole thing.
Dad had already by his
account been half way
home and was almost
back when he got to see
the finish.
Of course being cowboys, the razzing they gave
Dad was relentless for the
next several months. (The
old man went home and
left the kid to do all the
work.) Dad always replied,
“I knew he could handle
it.” I didn’t get on Gretchen
again for a long time. But I
swelled up some every
time I heard them tell it.

What Would You
Say?
G&T REALTY
A farmer named Clyde
had a car accident. In
court, the trucking company’s fancy hot shot lawyer,
was questioning Clyde.
“Didn’t you say, at the
scene of the accident, ‘I’m
fine,’?” asked the lawyer.
Clyde responded, “Well,
I’ll tell you what happened.
I had just loaded my favorite cow, Bessie, into the…”
“I didn’t ask for any details”, the lawyer interrupted. “Just answer the
question, please. Did you,
or did you not say, at the
scene of the accident, ‘I’m
fine!’?”
Clyde said, “Well, I had
just got Bessie into the
trailer and I was driving
down the road….”
The lawyer interrupted
again and said, “Your
Honor, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the
scene of the accident, this
man told the Highway Patrolman on the scene that
he was just fine. Now several weeks after the accident he is trying to sue my
client. I believe he is a
fraud. Please tell him to
simply answer the question.”
By this time, the Judge
was fairly interested in
Clyde’s answer and said to
the lawyer, “I’d like to hear
what he has to say about
his favorite cow, Bessie”.
Clyde thanked the Judge
and proceeded. “Well, as I
was saying, I had just loaded Bessie, my favorite cow,
into the trailer and was
driving her down the highway when this huge semitruck and trailer ran the
stop sign and smacked my
truck right in the side. I
was thrown into one ditch
and Bessie was thrown into
the other. I was hurting,
real bad and didn’t want to
move. However, I could
hear old Bessie moaning
and groaning. I knew she
was in terrible shape just
by her groans. Shortly after
the accident a Highway Patrolman came on the scene.
He could hear Bessie
moaning and groaning, so
he went over to her. After
he looked at her, and saw
her fatal condition, he took
out his gun and shot her
between the eyes.
Then the Patrolman came
across the road, gun still in
hand, looked at me, and
said, “How are you feeling?”
“Now tell me, what
WOULD you say!?”

EPIC ONE LINERS
1) Children: You spend the first two years of
their life teaching them how to walk and
talk. The next sixteen? Spent telling them
to sit down and shut up.
2) I thought I wanted a career, turns out I
just wanted paychecks.
3) I asked God for a bike, but I know God
doesn’t work that way. So I stole a bike
and asked for forgiveness.
4) Light travels faster than sound. This is
why some people appear bright until you
hear them speak.
5) We live in a society where pizza gets to
your house faster than the police.
6) A bus station is where a bus stops. A train
station is where a train stops. On my desk,
I have a work station.
