Cup of Tee©

Tee Hurd

It was like I had gone on the ram-page. The chair was thrown outside the

door. I proceeded to kick the back supports out.Then I started to kick the legs from under the seat.

The thick two inch seat could not be kicked in two. I therefore,grabbed the hatchet on the porch. That didn’t seem to haveenough power behind it. At the chair was left to lie motionless inthe yard, the nearby neighbors were in awe as I left.

Had I really gone over the deep end this time? They had noway of knowing. I spied them looking as I came back aroundthe corner from the wood shed. A few good blows set the chairseat in thirds as I hit it with the double-bit-ax. The down gradingof the chair wasn’t over yet, and neither were the neighborseyes on me.

A hand saw and a miter box cut the thirds of the seat inhalf. Now everything was done except picking up the pieces.The neighbors were still quiet, just looking. I then carried thebroken pieces back into the house.

No need for alarm. I had not crossed over to the other side.In fact, I wasn’t mad at all. I had an old maple chair that had theback broken out of it, and I kept telling my self, “What are yougoing to do with that wire-tied chair? It isn’t good for anything.You have been looking at it for years without fixing it or riddingof it.” Instead of hauling it to the landfill, I decided I would burnit in my wood stove.

I wasn’t out of wood like in some of those Westerns wherethey were freezing to death, thus burning up their furniture. Also,unlike the Westerns, I could not have hit someone with this chairand had the chair shatter in pieces (the chair was a little betterthan that). The neighbors must have thought I was teaching thechair a lesson for perhaps throwing me on the floor. I still haven’ttold that I was totally okay. I guess that will be your folk’s job.

So far, the law hasn’t been over to question me or the dis-abled chair. I might do the same to the one in the barn. DutchOven cooking could be at its finest with some maple coals forcooking. And then again, I may have to call the neighbors andtry and persuade them not to worry, I haven’t gone over theedge. That might be a little hard to do if they saw me do it twice.

Maybe I should call the law in advance and tellthem that a broken chair is about ready to get thedickens kicked out of it. By the time the call

floats from department to department, the headlinecould read, “Tee Hurd goes to the chair, death pen-alty kicking all the way.” And then again, I mightfind a use for the other old chair like I thought Iwould with the first. I might turn it into a rocking

chair with no back.Oh, well. This is my “Cup of

Tee” saying worrying is like a rock-ing chair. It give you something todo, but doesn’t get you anywhere.

Challenge Program coming toour state,” said Newland. “Itwill provide over 200 16- to 18-year-old high school dropoutsthroughout the state each yearwith the opportunity to applyand attend an in-residenceacademy that offers a safe,professional, structured anddisciplined environment.”

The mission of the IdahoYouth Challenge Program is tointervene in and reclaim thelives of 16- to 18-year-old highschool dropouts, producing pro-gram graduates with the val-ues, life skills, education, andself-discipline necessary to suc-ceed as productive citizens. Bythe end of the 5½ month in-residence program, the cadetswill have earned credits pre-paring them to reintegrate backinto public schools or attain ei-ther their high school diplomaor their GED.

Along with education theywill learn to respect themselvesand others, work as a team,exercise daily, and learn ac-countability. The program is inkeeping with U.S. Congressdirectives to the Department ofDefense to manage it.

“I’m proud of GeneralSayler and his team for con-sistently advocating so stronglyand effectively for the YouthChallenge Program,” GovernorC.L. “Butch” Otter said. “Ithas my admiration and my sup-port for its focus on helping toturn around the lives of at-riskteens. They need the kind ofguidance, discipline and direc-tion that the Youth ChallengeProgram offers, and it’s greatto see the program starting tomove from the drawing boardto reality.”

The program is currentlylocated in 27 states, overseen

by each state’s National Guardsenior officer. Federal-to-statespending for the program is ata ratio of 3-1. The school isconsidered an alternative highschool, and Orofino SchoolDistrict #171 donated theformer Pierce ElementarySchool - built in 1979 - for thisproject in 2011. When it’s upand running, the program willprovide more than 50 new jobscentered in Pierce.

“It is an outstanding pro-gram and I’m excited to get itstarted,” added Newland.“Marcie and I look forward tobeing part of the Pierce com-munity.”

Among the first people tobe hired for the program willbe a lead recruiter, whose roleit will be to seek eligible stu-

dent candidates from around the state. This lead recruiter willsoon be contacting school district superintendents and schoolcounselors.· More information can befound online at http://youthchallengeidaho.org/· Staff members will be hiredthrough the State of IdahoMilitary Division’s Human Re-source Office.
