Commissioner reflects back on centennial celebrationAs I take a breath

and reflect back on the milestone that was reached with the Centen-nial for Power County, I reflect on the words of John F. Kennedy about giving thanks: “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” As current residents celebrated with us, many third and fourth gen-eration families, I need to acknowledge the many collective efforts shown as we requested volun-teers to plan every detail of this historic event. First and foremost to our subcommittee mem-bers of the Historical Society: Nancy Zaring Anderson, Arnold Burge-meister, Deanna Davis Curry, Janice Ralphs Freeman, Hans Hayden, Kevin Lynott, Darrell Quinn, Denise Radford Ralphs, Kurtis Workman, and secretary Connie Rowland, for countless hours of planning and ar-ranging every detail from monthly events to signs, banners, invitations and refreshments, to lining up speakers and evolving tributes by compiling the history that was sent to publish. Other thanks go to the main Historical Society committee for the contin-ued support and upkeep of the museum, always staffing and ready to serve tours whenever re-quested. •TotheIFFTFounda-tion for the grant that was awarded us to completethe Power County Cen-tennial Park and Monu-ment. •TotheAmericanLe-gion for our flag presenta-tion and the lining thestreet with “Old Glory.” •ToRev.JonBeakefor the blessing upon our county. •TotheBillFunkfam-ily for the podium and sound system so everyone could hear. •ToLannyandMarciaPermann for the display-ing of their Model T Ford at the courthouse. And thanks should go to our elected officials from Power County: Commis-sioner Vicki Meadows,

Commissioner Ronald Funk, Sheriff Jim Jef-fries, Coroner Mark Rose, Prosecuting Attorney Ryan Petersen, Clerk Christine Steinlicht, Treasurer Deanna Curry and Assessor Douglas Glascock. American Falls Mayor Marc Beitia was respon-sible for the proclamation presentation declaring Feb 17, 2013, a day of celebration for Power County as the county seat. Sen. Jim Guthrie, House Rep. Ken Andrus and House Rep. Kel-ley Packer also deserve thanks for the resolu-tion and proclamation in honor of this historic milestone event for Pow-er County. Thanks also to many, many behind-the-scenes volunteers too numerous to mention. Above all, I thank God for the extremely calm February day that was granted us to honor this day as we do every day. I want to “Thank You,” each and every one of you, who attended this historic event and pay my honor and tribute to you that as a county com-missioner I will do every-thing within my power to uphold and sustain the values of this county that commissioners Adolph Winters, Walter S. Sparks and Andrew May estab-lished in 1913. So, on to “The next 100 Years...” Delane Anderson is a Power County commis-sioner and a lifelong resi-dent of that county.

A.F. school levy vote set March 12

By Emily WrightFor the Journal

AMERICAN FALLS — With the continued loss of funding, school districts across the state are asking residents for additional help to sustain basic needs to maintain general operating expenses. The American Falls school district faces the same problems with funding and will be hold-ing a supplemental levy on March 12. The two-year supplemen-tal school levy will be for school years 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 in the amount of $660,000. The money from the levy replaces lost federal fund-ing and conversion levy funding, provides funding to continue essential programs after $368,000 in planned budget reductions, services for students in the district, provide cost for personnel, teaching materials, technol-ogy, utilities, equipment and insurance, as well as to simply maintain the qual-ity of educational program-ming in the common core subjects, fine arts and other activities. Superintendent Ron Bolinger said in August of last year that patrons renewed the base annual supplemental levy of $1.8 million to maintain level services with the anticipa-tion that additional state funding would be provided through legislative action. Based on current proposed state budgets, additional funding for district opera-tions will not be provided. “As we have seen so far from the governor and the superintendent of schools, those funds will not be com-ing forward,” said Bolinger. “The board decided to run a levy like all the other dis-tricts around.” The money with this levy will be used as replace-ment of the funding that the school district already has. “We have been creative to

make good use of the money and have made $325,000 in funding last an additional year,” added Bolinger. The proposed levy will replace the present con-version levy that expires after fiscal year 2012-2013, replace operating fund-ing provided from federal revenue that expires at the end of the current school year and replaced $70,000 in additional state employer (PERSI) increases, loss of $250,000 in state fund-ing (ADA) and $22,326 in fiber technology recently installed. One of the anticipated losses the school district will face is in Average Daily Attendance (ADA) for fiscal year 2013-2014. Bolinger said the district was anticipating 76 units this year, but based upon absences it has turned out to be closer to 73 units. Middle school students coming up through the years average a number of 100 students per class and sometimes there can be an increase. The younger classes can be larger, but it will be awhile for those students to move up through the grades to be counted, said Bolinger. “We have budgeted on 73 units. If we have more

that would be great, but you budget on the number of students you have now,” Bolinger stressed. Holding a levy is the only legal way the school district has to gain additional funds. “We are simply asking for a little bit of help from our patrons. We try to keep the reaction to massive cuts from state funds and we need the help,” he said. The future for funding ed-ucation for the last 10 years has been downhill. With the recession, operating funds have not come back. School districts are totally depen-dent on state funding and the support has been weak in the last five years. Bolinger said he has seen a general trend and with close to $2 million less in funding from the state in the last five years, American Falls has cut $950,000 from their budget. “We are not different from any other district in the state. The only way we can do what we do is to reach out to our local pa-trons,” he said. The talk of eliminating personal property taxes is something Bolinger firmly stands against. There hasn’t been anything introduced in the form of a bill, but the funding from personal prop-

erty tax is important to the school district. Bolinger explained that the supplemental levy mon-ey is above and beyond the state allocation. “Where it has been re-duced we need money to supplement what we get from the state, honestly the majority of all school dis-tricts need this type of levy. That is telling because there is a lot of district’s that have the needs where the state is not providing for,” said Bolinger. He also added how the school board has really ap-preciated the support from parents and patrons over the years. Polling places will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Photo identification is required to vote in the designated precincts and the voter must have been a resident of the school district for at least 30 days. Qualified voters can regis-ter at the polls with proof of citizenship and residency. Polling places are the Power County EMS build-ing, American Falls Pub-lic Library, Power County Courthouse Annex, Po-catello Municipal Airport, and absentee ballots can be turned into the Power County Courthouse.

Five of Eastern Idaho’s most distinguished leaders in the agriculture industry will be inducted into the 41st Eastern Idaho Agri-culture Hall of Fame dur-ing the annual recognition dinner March 22. This year’s inductees are Wallace Reid of Firth, Neal Hughes of St. Anthony, Jerry Schluter of Ririe, Don Eliason of Holbrook and K. Merle Jeppesen of Rexburg. The dinner will be held at O’Callahan’s in the Idaho Falls Shilo Inn Con-vention Center. A no-host social hour begins at 6 p.m. followed by dinner at 7 p.m. The event is open to all interested persons. Tickets are $25 and can be obtained from the Greater Idaho Falls Chamber of Commerce at 420 Memo-rial Drive or from Hall of Fame Board members. For additional information contact Karen Guilford at 208-540-1302.

Wallace Reid “Wally” Reid of Firth is being inducted into the 2013 Eastern Idaho Agri-culture Hall of Fame for his water and land stew-ardship and as a man who is a catalyst for finding solutions benefiting the agriculture, grazing and conservation communities. Reid’s grandparents homesteaded in the Black-foot River Valley in 1870 when Idaho was still a territory. The Reid farm has been in agriculture production for 143 years. Reid takes pride in the fact that he lives on and oper-ates part of his grandpar-ent’s original homestead. The farm was honored as a Centennial Ranch/Farm by the State of Idaho. Reid began farming in 1950 along side of his older brothers. The Reid broth-ers raised wheat, alfalfa, beets, Idaho Burbank po-tatoes and livestock. The Reid’s were progressive and looking for ways to im-prove their farming opera-tion. When irrigation hand lines became available, the brothers “broke out” virgin land on the Presto Bench and began irrigating the new acres by pumping out of the Blackfoot River. After starting his own farming enterprise, Reid again followed in his fa-ther’s footsteps and began raising Shorthorn/Her-eford cattle. The genetics of Black Angus cattle at-tracted Reid’s interest. He was one of the first in the Blackfoot River Valley to

begin raising Black Angus cattle and became a mem-ber of the Eastern Idaho Grazing Association. A membership he has main-tained for over 60 years, with 15 years spent as the organization’s director. While an EIGA director, Reid worked to facilitate and improve range health and forage. Along with the other directors, he ad-vanced the idea of rotation-al grazing by dividing the private, State and Federal grazing lands with fences. Other practices incorpo-rated were brush control, improving springs and wa-tering areas for livestock and wildlife. Reid, and his wife Mar-lene, farm near the Fort Hall Indian Reservation. The Reid’s have developed a unique relationship with their Native American neighbors. Through their long standing friendships they have crossed cultural boundaries and helped tribal members protect and preserve petroglyphs in the Blackfoot River Valley. The couple has also made hundreds of presentations in Eastern Idaho class-rooms and libraries about the Shoshone Bannock culture, history and way of life.

Neal Hughes Hughes of St. Anthony is being inducted into the 2013 Eastern Idaho Agri-culture Hall of Fame for outstanding contributions to conservation, commu-nity involvement and as a spokesman for agriculture. Hughes has been in-volved with soil and water conservation efforts in Fre-mont County as a supervi-sor with the Yellowstone Soil Conservation District for over 30 years. He has been instrumental in se-curing five state funded soil and water conservation projects aimed at control-ling erosion in Fremont County. Hughes grew up in a farming family and knew from an early age he want-ed to be a farmer. Through the years he leased or pur-chased land on which he grew potatoes, grain and later added 300 head of cattle to his operation. When the Teton Dam

broke on June 5, 1976, Hughes’ life and farming operation was changed forever. In a mat-ter of minutes, his farm ground, equipment and livestock was washed away by the flood waters. Seeing a great deal of work needing to be done to restore the farm ground, Hughes purchased heavy duty equipment and went to work on cleanup and leveling of the newly de-stroyed ground. Following the flood, Hughes moved forward by purchasing new farm ground, equip-ment and was one of the first in his area to install pivot irrigation systems. New cellars were built and Hughes Farms, Inc., was created. Hughes is also among the first producers in his area to install water and sediment control basins aimed at controlling ero-sion on his farm ground. He was also a pioneer in improving irrigation sys-tems on his farm ground by installing center pivots. Hughes also has a long list of civic involvement including numerous years on the St. Anthony Cham-ber of Commerce, South Fremont Hospital Board and two terms as Fremont County Commissioner.

Jerry Schluter Schluter of Ririe is be-ing inducted into the 2013 Eastern Idaho Agriculture Hall of Fame for his exten-sive contributions to agri-culture and community. Having farmed for over 60 years, Schluter oper-

ates over 3,000 acres of ground located in the Birch Creek area. Although much of his farm has been en-rolled in the

Conservation Reserve Pro-gram, he still spends many hours in the field spraying or doing whatever to make his ground look immacu-late. One of the areas in which Schluter has made a great contribution is his involvement with youth in the Ririe area. As a volun-teer, Schluter worked for many years as the FFA ad-visor and as the golf coach at Ririe High School. He has provided a very posi-tive influence to the area youth mentoring them and encouraging them to be involved with agriculture to keep the industry strong. He has also coached bas-ketball, baseball and do-nated parking access for snowmobilers and recre-ationalists. Schluter has received many awards, including the Conservationist of the Year by the East Side Soil and Water Conservation District. This recognition was given for Schluter’s stewardship of the land. Recently, he enrolled 200 acres in the Sharp Tail Habitat program, disking the field himself, just prior to having surgery. He has also been honored by the Idaho Dept. of Fish and Game for putting his farm in the “Access Yes” Pro-gram. As a dry farm operator, Schluter is considered to be a great conservator of the land as he has shared his ideas with other farm-ers making direct contribu-tions to their conservation efforts.

Don Eliason Eliason of Holbrook will be inducted into the 2013 Eastern Idaho Agriculture Hall of Fame for his suc-cessful contributions to ranching, crop production and community involve-ment. Although he would rather be known as a cow-man, Eliason has raised barley, corn and nearly enough hay to provide for his large cow and calf op-eration. Through natural breeding and artificial in-semination, Eliason main-tains a herd of 800 Black Angus cows. Summer range includes Bureau of Land Management and US Forest Service ground. The cattle are transported by Eliason’s own trucking operation. Perhaps Eliason’s great-est contribution to agricul-ture is the example he has set for future generations. This hard working cowboy can still be found riding his horse while working the cows. He actively par-ticipates in cutting, roping and branding activities on his ranch. In his early eighties, he is still known to compete in team roping and cow cutting events. Active in the Holbrook community, Eliason is president of the Curlew Horse and Cattle Asso-ciation. He has also been instrumental in organiz-ing and serving with the Oneida Search and Rescue for 20 years, a member of the Oneida County Library Board for 27 years and a member of the Curlew Valley Rodeo Board for 50 years. Eliason also helped or-ganize, and after 37 years continues to participate with, the Malad Valley Community Chorus.

K. Merle Jeppesen Jeppesen of Rexburg, will be inducted into the

2013 Eastern Idaho Agri-culture Hall of Fame for his efforts to improve ag-riculture and community service. To get his start in farm-ing, Jeppesen rented 80 acres of production land from his father. The next few years were spent acquiring acres of his own, installing sprinkler systems, building potato cellars and building over 100 mini dams to slow down snow melt and other running water on his hilly ground. He worked his land with his minimum till-age farming methods and returned all possible or-ganic matter back into the soil. Jeppesen’s farm became a “test farm” for new farm-ing methods being taught at Ricks College. In 1970, at the age of 34, Jeppesen received the Outstanding Young Farmer award in recognition of exceptional progress in agriculture and contributions to the community of Rexburg. In 1982 he received the Outstanding Agriculturist Award presented by the Rexburg Chamber of Com-merce, in recognition for achievement in marketing, production and innovation. Jeppesen also served two terms on the Farm-ers Home Administration Board making loans to local farmers. He served 18 years on the Madison Co-op Board, ten of those as Chairman. During that time sales went from under one million to over 16 mil-lion dollars per year. He served on the Eastern Ore-gon-Idaho Potato Commit-tee for eight years, serving as chairman for four years. He has also been a member of the Ricks Col-lege Booster Club, Alumni Board and has been very involved with the Scouting programs within Madison County.

The tax base and total income for the towns of Paris, Bloomington, and Montpelier would increase significantly as a result of the project going into full production, according to the mining company. PHA will average $31 million in annu-al labor costs, a 40 percent increase over the County’s $78 million per annum per

capital income. PHA officials said the company has every inten-tion of hiring as many local laborers as possible. “Our goal is to train the local work force, be-cause it’s their mine and their community. We want them to benefit from it, ” said Dave Kramer, General Manager, COO and VP of Operations for the Paris Hills Project. The largest number of positions available will be underground equipment op-erators and laborers. “We will hire a core group

of people with underground mining experience and they will train the workers with no underground experi-ence,” said Kramer. According to the tech-nical report, PHA is ex-pecting to pay straight hourly wages of $32 for multi-skilled miners, $30 for skilled miners and $28 for semi-skilled miners. This does not include the benefits packages they of-fer their employees. PHA has already hired local workers for their drill-ing and testing purposes. As production begins they will

hire more workers, and as the mine increases and the different phases of the mine come together, they will hire their full compliment of laborers. Many citizens in the county are concerned about the added traffic the mine may create with trucks and the workforce. In response, PHA has agreed to only run their trucks during daylight hours Monday through Fri-day. There will be added traffic due to truck loads from the mine and employ-ees going to and from work, but PHA is trying to make

the impact as minimal as possible. “We are trying to de-sign something to minimize the traffic impact,” stated Kramer. They are currently refin-ing a road study that was conducted in a feasibility study done before the per-mitting process began. Another concern many have had is the aesthetic impact that a mine would have on the canyons where the mine is located. Paris Hills said it has strategi-

cally placed the location of the mine to minimize the visual impact to the valley. The company said it has used the hills to barricade most of the view of the mine in Paris and Bloomington. Since the mine is going to be underground, it isn’t as noticeable as the open pit mine near Soda Springs.

senators representing the College of Arts and Letters, said that when she saw the resolution and the recom-mendation from the Univer-sity of Idaho, she went right to work. “I took it upon myself to write a similar resolution,” Doupe said. “It followed suit to the one from the University of Idaho, but I added a clause that pertains to Pocatello and Idaho State University, something to personalize it for us.” That additional clause also includes the consider-

ation of protecting all the many organizations and clubs on ISU’s campus. The amendment of the Idaho Human Rights Act, which is essentially Idaho’s civil rights legislation, to include the words “sexual orientation,” and “gender identity,” has become a hot topic as of late. Among the driving forces to that end is the campaign called Add the Words, which has gained new vigor during the past few months. “I don’t think it has any-thing to do with whether you believe in gay rights,” Doupe said. “This has noth-ing to do with whether you believe in gay marriage or any of that. This has to do with discriminating against people. You don’t have

to like somebody or what they do, but they shouldn’t be fired or discriminated against because of who they are.” The ASISU Resolution 525 passed with a vote of 18-2 last week, and Doupe says there are a couple of steps left to make the pro-cess official, including the approval of that meeting’s minutes. But once that’s completed, she plans to take point on sending that reso-lution to Idaho Legislators and a couple of local civic leaders. “I am going to be sending it to the mayors of Pocatello and Chubbuck, and I will be sending it to all of our state representatives and sena-tors,” she said. “I will also be sending it to the governor

of Idaho.” Doupe is also sending a copy of Resolution 525 to the University of Idaho Stu-dent Senate so they can see ISU followed suit, and to the student governing body at Boise State University.

week in an attempt to scrap much of the language in the plan which was developed after dozens of hearings were held statewide to gather input from industry, agri-culture, recreation and conserva-tion interests. Adjustments to the plan are made periodically by the board to reflect policy and management changes. The last revision to the plan was adopted by the legisla-ture in 2012. Once adopted, the state’s water plan is a key component for estab-lishing regulations and securing federal funding for projects like reservoirs, fish mitigation proj-ects, riparian habitat restoration

and flood control. “They were going to gut the state water plan,” Chase said about the House Resources and Conservation Committee. Rep. Ken Andrus, R-Lava Hot Springs is a member of that committee. In a Saturday interview, Andrus said his committee, chaired by Rep. Lawerence Denny, R-Mid-vale, “has every right to change it (the water plan). That’s really our responsibility.” A full hearing before the Con-servation Committee has been set for Thursday, March 7, at 1:30 p.m. The Water Resources Board has eight members appointed by the governor. Board members are a blend of Republicans, Demo-crats and Independents. In addi-tion to Chase, members are Terry Uhling of Boise, Bob Graham of Bonners Ferry, Jeff Raybould of

St. Anthony, Pe-ter Van Der Meu-len of Hailey, Charles Cuddy of Orofino, Leonard Beck of Burley and Vince Alber-di of Kimberly. By statute, board members are responsible for planning for the conservation, development, use and management of water resources in the state of Idaho. Chase said that given Idaho’s de-pendency on its water resources, that is no small task. Creating a comprehensive water plan is key to meeting that responsibility. Chase said adjustments to the plan had been completed and it was sent to the House Resources Committee for review this session. Last week it came back to the board

with tons of deletions and revisions. “It was going to devastate our ability to manage Idaho water,” Chase said. “It would have let the private sector decide what to do with water management.” And that’s fine with Andrus, especially when it comes to areas deemed wetlands. “I don’t think the state should be managing wetlands,” Andrus said. “It’s a violation of property rights.” The changes made by House Conservation Committee included removing references to “climate variability,” the Aquifer Storage and Recovery Task Force and the need to protect wetlands, habitat near streams, floodplains and stream channels. The former Pocatello mayor said he immediately sounded the alarm. “I’m not afraid of confronting people,” Chase said.

Andrus is sticking to his guns on the issue. “We wrote up some things we thought would make water rights for users more friendly,” Andrus said. Despite the pending hearing, Chase said it is doubtful sweep-ing changes to the water plan will get approved this session mainly because a mandated deadline for legislative action will expire. Andrus said the 60-day limit for action may not expire this week, depending on legal interpretation of when the plan was first pre-sented to the legislature. Chase also said the changes that the legislative committee was trying to make would have jeop-ardized Idaho’s control of water resources by bringing stricter federal oversight and potential litigation. Andrus said he’s not so sure.

Just five minutes after the call came in for the Buckskin accident, the Po-catello Police Department was called to the scene of an accident in town where a car came to a stop on the front lawn of a home on the 500 block of Willard Av-enue after hitting the front steps leading to the home. Officer Jason Wein-heimer said an early investigation shows that a woman driving a Ford Fusion was parked in the driveway of a home across the street, the front of her car facing the road. When she went to leave, the woman driving the car, in her attempt to avoid an-other car while pulling out onto Willard Avenue, ap-parently accelerated rather than stopped. Weinheimer reported the woman said her foot got stuck on the ac-celerator. No one was injured in that incident and the acci-dent is still under investiga-tion.

“We need responsible leadership in our state and we as citizens must hold our state elected leaders ac-countable for the terrible priorities that put workers and education — and ultimately, businesses — last,” Kenck said in reaction to the minimum wage statistics released Wednesday by the Idaho Department of Labor. Idaho’s hourly workers making the federal minimum age or less jumped to 7.7 percent in 2012 — the highest percentage in the nation. The U.S. Bureau of Labor statistics estimated that 31,000 of Idaho’s 404,000 hourly workers were paid the minimum

wage last year, an increase of 12,000 from 2011. “Our shameful minimum wage problem is just a statistic in the newspaper to the Legislature and governor, but out here in the real world it isn’t a statistic at all — it’s real families of hardworking Ida-hoans who need fair wages and a fair shot at prosperity to give their children the bright futures they de-serve,” Kenck said. Kenck said the problem comes from a one-party system of control in Idaho and voters need to elect more

Democrats to make sure education is properly funded and higher-paying jobs become available in the Gem State. “We need to be a world class edu-cation system and not a third-world system,” Kenck said. The new Democratic state chair-man said years of having Republicans shortchange education is now show-ing itself in the low paying wages in the state. “It’s a chain of events and the economy suffers all the way through,” Kenck said.

In the wake of the school massacre in Newtown, Connecticut, it’s understandable that even toy guns mistaken for the real thing could spark fear among teachers. It happened at Pocatel-

lo’s Wilcox Elementary last Thursday.There were no students at the school. It was an in-

service day for teachers.Some of those teachers glanced out a window and

noticed a group of young men carrying what they believed to be real firearms on the playground. They called police and retreated to the principal’s office where they waited for law enforcement to ar-rive.

In the mind of the mother of one of those fright-ened teachers, they waited too long — about 15 min-utes. Pocatello Police Chief Scott Marchand agrees.

And Marchand did the right thing.Instead of taking issue with this newspaper for

running a story on the episode, he looked within. That’s a sign of good leadership. The next morning Marchand issued a press release that said he had launched an internal review of the police response to the Wilcox call for help.

“We agree with the report that the time it took to get officers on scene was not acceptable,” the chief’s press release said. And then the police chief went further and said the department has “taken steps to move forward and ensure that this type of delayed response does not occur again.”

We realize instant response isn’t possible in the real world. Some readers on Facebook strangely took the Journal to task for reporting about the Wilcox false alarm or used the delayed response as fodder for touting the notion we all have to be responsible for our own defense.

School District 25 has taken cooperative steps with the Pocatello Police Department and other law enforcement agencies to make sure protocols for dangerous situations in its schools are followed. They hold regular drills to prepare for the unthink-able. School resource officers, who are members of the Pocatello Police Department, are present inside the district’s middle schools and high schools.

Last month, these officers were given the green light to put gun safes in their schools to hold police issue semi-automatic rifles and extra ammunition which could be accessed in a hurry if necessary. Chief Marchand called the in-school rifles just an-other tool to help combat bad guys should the need ever arise.

One online comment that the Journal received about the Wilcox incident was totally out of line. It implied the school’s teachers were being wimps.

Here’s a harsh refresher for folks with that ri-diculous mindset.

When the massacre perpetrated by a well-armed sick young man took place at Sandy Hook Elemen-tary in December, 20 first-graders were killed. But four teachers, the school principal and a counselor put themselves in the line of fire first. All of them were women and all died. They had families and children of their own, yet they didn’t hesitate to stand between certain death and the children they taught and tried to protect.

Their names and ages were Rachel Davino, 19; Dawn Hochsprung, 47; Anne Marie Murphy, 52; Lauren Rousseau, 30; Mary Sherlach, 56; and Vic-toria Soto, 27.

After a horrifying incident that targets a school, whether it’s a high school in Colorado, an elementa-ry school in Connecticut or a university in Virginia, people go on alert. Emotions run high. Fears bubble to the surface.

We expect a lot from our teachers, just like we expect a lot from our police.

Chief Marchand let this community know that he understands that.

Guns vs. people. Guns don’t kill people. People kill people. What a quandary we are in. What to do? What to do? Confiscate people? Have a nice day. Christopher Harme, Chubbuck

lds fAith My name is Alta Louise Stoddard and I have writ-ten to you before about a couple of things that concerns the LDS Church, which I am a member of. I have read all of the articles talking about what Pocatello and Chubbuck are planning to do when it comes to combining the Fourth of July and having Pioneer Day, which is cel-ebrated on the 24th of July because that was when our prophet, Brigham Young entered into the Salt Lake Valley back in the 1800s, so us Mormons could worship our reli-gious beliefs in peace, and for us to have the Fourth of July and Pioneer Days be combined, that would be ridiculous. Us Mormons celebrate the 24th because of our heritage, and how we were forced out of the Eastern part of the U.S. because of what we believed. Our first prophet, Jo-seph Smith, was killed by a mob for believing in what our father in heaven and our savior, Jesus Christ, told him to do when it came to our reli-gion, and he did as they said, to not join any of the religious sects. Then he was told to translate the

plates into the Book of Mormon. I know some people don’t understand what the Mor-mon church believes, but for Mayor Blad to allow the peo-ple in Pocatello and Chub-buck to celebrate the 24th of

July on the Fourth of July, that would say that what our earlier pioneers went through back then to keep our religion going would not matter because it does matter to us Mormons that are still very thankful for what our prophets did for us to keep our religion go-ing. You see, all of us Mor-mons that attend our meet-ings every Sunday, we study from every book that is in the Bible plus the one book called Our Heritage. Alta Louise Stoddard, Pocatello

income in idAho Our Republican lead-ers in Idaho should be very proud of themselves. Providing we can believe everything we read, ac-cording to the statistics provided by the U.S. De-partment of Labor and published in the Feb. 28

Idaho State Journal, Idaho is ranked No. 1 in the nation in people making the mini-mum wage. We are also ranked next to last in the USA in average income, be-ing ahead of only the state of Mississippi. On top of that, we are ranked 48th in the nation on dollars spent per student for education. We are ahead of Arizona and Utah, who rank 49th and 50th. Maybe our elected rep-resentatives need to ask our teachers what needs to be done to improve on that instead of just dreaming up new laws to pass that are basically the ones that were just defeated in a recall election. Better education is the key to improving on our embarrassing ratings of having such low incomes. Jack Woods, Pocatello

Levy is critical for School District 25It’s no secret that

financial times are tough for everyone,

and that is also true for public education in Idaho. At a time when a quality education is more important than ever for the future suc-cess of our students, state funding has been cut repeatedly.

Yet, expectations of quality educational services and facilities remain high and our stu-dent population has grown. A quality education is not only important to the future success of our children, but it is critical to the well-being of a com-munity for economic development and for community and recreational activities. The number one question a business asks as it seeks to locate in any community is, “Does a skilled and educated workforce exist?”

Likewise, people being recruited to our community by businesses want to know their children will go to quality schools. Further, research shows that a well-educated citizenry is more likely to earn an above aver-age income, more likely to be healthy and more likely to contribute time and other resources to things that improve communities and lifestyles such as parks and recreation, arts, and community organizations.

In addition, it also leads to less poverty and less crime. Community groups use our facilities for events such as Relay for Life, class reunions, little league football and dance recit-als; municipalities use our facilities to run their parks and recreation programs such as youth basketball and volleyball; and community organizations use our facilities for hosting events such as the annual Nutcracker.

On March 12, voters will be asked to renew and increase the Pocatello/Chubbuck School District’s Supple-mental Levy. We hope you will invest in the children of this community with your “YES” vote. The Levy is local money that supports local children. It does not go to Boise or Washington, D.C., but stays in our community.

The state Legislature has not in-

cluded monies, for many years, to cover the pur-chase or replacement of textbooks or other instructional materials, to pay for supplies, to purchase new hard-bound or electronic text-books as new courses have been added, or to cover increased costs for us to operate schools. Despite long-term de-

funding of education we are offering a quality education to our students. They rank among the middle of the top 50 percent of students nationwide and above state averages. In fact, our graduation rate exceeds the state and the nation and our graduating seniors received more than $10 million in col-lege scholarships last year.

Last December, faced with com-plete uncertainty about the resto-ration of funding from the failed Luna Laws, increased operational costs, flat funding expected from the state Legislature and increased costs for implementation of the Common Core State Standards; the Board had to make a decision on the supplemental levy amount. The de-cision to ask voters for an increase was difficult, but unanimous. The impact on our taxpayers weighed heavily on this decision. But, in the end, we knew we could not main-tain the current level of academic and extracurricular opportunities, cover increased fixed costs, imple-ment the required Common Core State Standards or even cover our increased operating costs without help. The increased levy will cost taxpayers about $2.50 per month on a home valued at $190,000 (or a tax-able value after home-owners ex-emption of $100,000). The levy will not restore anything but it will help fill the gap between state funding and our local needs.

Our district has had a supplemen-tal levy for more than 60 years. It has helped support student safety, student assessment and remediation, extracurricular academic, music and athletic programs, textbooks and instructional supplies, fixed costs such as electricity, gas, water and insurance. Through this support, our

schools are able to maintain the high-est standards of safety planning and preparation. Our schools continue to be the safest place for children! Through this support, we can contin-ue to offer a well-rounded education designed to prepare students for col-lege or careers in a safe, supportive and caring environment.

Over the past four years, to balance our budget, we have implemented the following cost-saving measures: re-duced the pay of our employees by 5 percent and initiated 9 furlough days (days off without pay), eliminated support staff throughout the District, eliminated transportation for field trips, reduced the number of media specialists and counselors and under-staffed administrative and teaching positions. In addition we have cut budgets, across the board, and in-creased extra-curricular fees.

The supplemental levy has been unanimously endorsed by the Greater Pocatello Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. The Chamber’s Executive Director, Matt Hunter, sits on our Budget Committee. He knows, first-hand, the difficult decisions that must be made to maintain quality services with inadequate resources and he knows the district is running as lean as possible. The levy has also been endorsed by the Idaho State Journal Editorial Board, which is a cross-section of political, community and business leaders.

On behalf of the entire Board of Trustees, thank you for you past investment in our youths and please continue that investment on March 12. It is vitally important to preserve excellence for our local youths.

Voting will be Tuesday, March 12, at general election polling locations from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Janie Gebhardt is chairwoman of the Pocatello/Chubbuck School Dis-trict Board of Trustees.

Taken prob-ably in the early 1920s, this shot of the 100 block of South Arthur shows a good deal of activity. Judging from the shadows, it is probably some time in mid-morning of a beautiful, sunny day. Construction on the Ban-nock Hotel is complete up to that point and its own-ers were apparently not interested in acquiring the house next door.

The two story building, which stretched all the way south to Lewis, was called the Nixon Block, for entrepreneur Sam Nixon. One of its occupants was North’s Clothing Store. It was owned by Carlyle North.

In her wonderful book about Idaho State — A Centennial Chronicle — Diane Olson wrote, “Imagine the emotions experienced by the first students to cross the rail-road tracks and walk the dirt path to the base of Red Hill. You can almost hear their nervous chat-ter as they approached Pocatello’s desolate east side. Three showed up to enroll the first day, Ethel Harrison, LeRoy Nielsen, and Carlyle North.” It was 1902 and those three en-tered the Academy of Ida-ho, the primary ancestor if Idaho State University.

Despite his “Big Sale” sign, there don’t seem to be any cars parked in front of Carlyle North’s store like there are near the Bannock.

The sign is hazy, but that may be a drug store next to North’s. At one time there were as many as eight pharmacies op-erating in the downtown area and on the east side.

It’s likely that they all sold alcohol in various forms, but only if the customer had a prescription. If Prohibition had not kicked in by the time the picture was

taken, it was soon to come.As for the house, it was

eventually razed to be replaced by the Gem State Auto Co., the Hill Broth-ers operation that sold Graham cars before get-ting the Buick franchise. Their showroom fronted on Arthur and the service department reached back to the alley. When the Hills moved, the Bannock bought the space and it became the Cosmopolitan Room.

The Pocatello Chamber of Commerce and several real estate and insurance agencies were later lo-cated in the Nixon Build-ing. All of this was directly across Arthur from the city’s Post Office. Before the city took over the pres-ent airport, Phillips Field, the Pocatello office of the U.S. Weather Bureau was located on the Post Office roof. That’s how it was, give or take 90 years.

Pocatello native Bill Ryan is a retired United Press International editor who was formerly with Idaho State University as alumni director and journalism professor. He lives in the Dallas suburb of Richardson, Texas and can be reached at [email protected].

the House State Affairs Committee, but has been held up from going to the full House for a vote by Stephen Hartgen, R-Twin Falls, chairman of the House Commerce and Hu-man Relations Committee. “There was great bipar-tisan support,” said Curtis Smith, union president of the Pocatello Firefighters. Smith said Republicans helped get the bill printed and into the State Affairs Committee, but now the bill has been shelved by Hartgen. “We haven’t heard any reason, only that he’s hold-ing it,” Smith said. The Pocatello fireman expressed his displeasure with the holdup during a town hall meeting with Pocatello’s District 29 leg-islators — Democrats Roy Lacey, Elaine Smith and Carolyn Meline — at Po-catello City Hall Saturday. House Bill 194 specifies the kinds of illnesses that workers’ compensation would cover for firefight-ers and establishes time constraints for how long a firefighter has been on the job before coverage would occur. The 13 specific illnesses in the bill include poison-ing from exposure to chem-icals and radiation, heart and respiratory diseases caused by dust, smoke and toxic gases, skin diseases from caustic chemicals and AIDS. The illnesses would have to be directly linked to on-the-job activities. Coverage would be linked to time of service. For example for a fireman to claim workers’ compen-sation for brain or esopha-geal cancer, he would have to develop the disease after 10 years on the job. Kidney cancer could only be claimed after 15 years of service. And no claims could be made once a fire-fighter has left the job for 10 years or more. Language in the bill establishes a presumption that the illness was linked to job duties, but does al-low that presumption to be challenged. “If the presumption is rebutted by medical evi-dence then the firefighter or the beneficiaries must prove that the firefighter’s disease was caused by his or her duties of employ-ment,” the bill states. Smith said he and other firefighters in Idaho are frustrated the bill is not getting a full hearing in the Idaho House. “It’s stuck in a drawer,” he said. Hartgen said it will stay in that drawer for the rest of this session. “I’m holding it up this session because I don’t think it’s something we should rush into,” Hartgen said in a Saturday inter-view. “It would turn the premise of workers’ com-pensation upside-down. I think it would open the door to a lot of disputes and increase the number of claims.” The Twin Falls Repub-lican said he’s not com-fortable with the idea of shifting the proof of injury for a compensation claim away from the worker who claims the injury was caused by on-the-job ac-tivities. “I think there should be a requirement to prove in-jury,” Hartgen said. As far as the challenge safeguard in House Bill 194, Hartgen said he doesn’t think medical sci-ence is advanced enough to positively link certain illnesses to specific expo-sure. Before any version of the firefighters’ compensa-tion bill is debated by the full Legislature, Hartgen said more exploration into the medical science and

a study into the financial impact of similar legisla-tion in other states needs to take place.

According to the Inter-national Association of Fire Fighters, IAFF, 90 percent of firefighter deaths are due to occupationally re-lated illnesses. “Our members put their lives on the line every

day to protect their com-munities, and shouldn’t have to worry what will happen to them and their families if they get sick. Yet some states still do not provide presumptive protections for firefighters

who contract certain can-cers and other illnesses in the course of their duties,” says IAFF General Presi-dent Harold Schaitberger on the union’s website. Idaho is one of them. Hartgen said the issue

is important, but he wants more study before Idaho’s lawmakers debate the mer-its. “Some say the Legisla-ture moves too slowly, but sometimes it moves too fast,” Hartgen said.

Softball is life for Pocatello High School senior Morgan Nalley. When she is not playing third base for the Indians during the high school season, she is suiting up for her club team, ‘Next Level,’ based out of Boise or in some instances put-ting together her own team to win a local tournament. Nalley will get to continue playing soft-ball in college as she has signed a National Letter of Intent to play softball for Valley City State University in the fall. “It was a really good opportunity to for me to continue playing,” Nalley said. “I re-ally liked the program and the coaches so I felt it was a good fit for me.” She also will get to play with her older sister Samantha, who is also a Viking. “Initially when I started looking at col-

leges I did not want to play with my sister,” Nalley said. “But when the opportunity came to go out and play with her I felt it was a good place for me to be.” “I think she is more excited than I am,” she said of her sister’s feelings about play-ing together. “She is excited to be able to experience things with me.” Her parents are also happy the sisters will be together, if only for just one season. “It is easier for them to keep track of us when we are in the same house,” Nalley said. Valley City head coach Chad Slyter first met Nalley last fall when she traveled with her mother and sister to drop off Samantha, who transferred to VCSU from Porterville College. “I was sitting in the coach’s office last fall and he was asking me what year I was in school and what I was planning to do after high school,” Nalley said.

She will play right away when she hits campus and will return to her primary posi-tion of pitcher full time. She will also get a chance to do another thing she enjoys. “I only play third base in high school,” Nalley said. “The rest of the year I pitch and it is something I am good at. I am only going to pitch in college, that’s how I understand things to be. But I can play third or first if they need me to.” Nalley said the recruiting process was fun and that she played in some college showcase games that allowed coaches from all over the country the chance to see her in action. Those showcases pitted Nalley against other top college-ready players. “I had offers from a couple of places, but I felt VCSU was the right place for me,” Nal-ley said. “I am happy that I made my deci-sion before the season started and now I can

One time my boss called and told me he needed to talk to me a minute

I went down to see him and he asked me to check my calendar and see if I was busy in three weeks. I asked him why and he said our boss Mike Rempke was coming in town and wanted to take us to Silver Creek fishing. I suddenly remembered that my calendar was empty and said to count me in. We had a good guide named Nick Price and learned a lot from him. Of course, I learn a lot ev-ery time I fish with someone new. It seems things have changed dras-tically over the last few decades. In the old days someone learned how/where to fish over a lifetime, and for that matter you even learned your trade over the years. Now everyone wants to pay someone for their expe-rience and learn it overnight. There is more info flying around than at any other time in the history of the world. There are all kinds of sources of information available nowadays that our folks didn’t have 40 years ago. Think about it, we have the Internet. There’s a college or school of some kind on every street corner. Everyone wants to take a seminar and then be an expert and move on to another sub-ject. No one wants to bang their heads on the wall to learn something. They all want it given to them on a silver platter. Well, this chain of events has also hit the fishing/hunting world. Look at all the guides we now have. How about all the videos and seminars? There is room for all of this, though, I guess. How long did it take you to find your secret spot? Likely it took quite a bit of scouting and a number of dry runs. So if you have enough mon-ey, you may want to invest in a guide. A day with him may save you quite a few weekends or a wasted vacation of hitting it on your own. I try to write my articles with the poor guy in mind. The majority of hunters/fishermen are dads/moms trying to eke out a living and get away once in a while for some rejuvenating. So invariably I’m going to try to help them, but if at all possible you may want to break down sometime and hire a guide. They are not a cure-all, but they can save you a lot of time hunting good spots and making needless mistakes. Let me give you some ex-amples. Years ago I’d go home for Christmas and hire a striper guide on Lake Texhoma. I’d fish with him one day and find out what they were hit-ting on and where to go.

The next day my brother would bring his boat home and we’d fish all week on our own and kill them. Why spend all week trying to find out where the fish were and what they were hitting? We could have spent the whole week finding them and then have had to head back to work with no fish. Along that line of thought, if you want to fish a new area or a new state, you might think about hiring a guide. One like Nick is well worth his pay. He taught me a lot about watching the water for feeding fish and how to present a fly to super picky fish. He also had us work a hole for long periods of time. Consequently, we ended up catching a lot more fish out of a hole. He helped me out on a few different methods of presenting a fly

Carl Edwards gives a fist pump to his pit crew as he walks with the checkered flag after winning in Avondale, Ariz.

JoHn MaRsHaLLAP Sports Writer

AVONDALE, Ariz. — Carl Edwards climbed from his car, stood on the door and landed a backflip near the finish line. He then hopped up on the wall in front of the grandstand, grabbed the checkered flag and waded into the crowd, trading high-fives with fans. After a miserable week at Daytona, Edwards had plenty to celebrate. That it came at Phoenix Inter-national Raceway only seemed fitting. Coming through on his prom-ise to dominate after his Daytona disaster, Edwards pulled away on a late restart and snapped a 70-race winless streak on Sun-day, the second long drought he’s ended at Phoenix. This win feels as good or better as any win I’ve ever had,” Ed-wards said.

Edwards had a rough 2012 season, missing the Chase for the championship. His downward spiral continued at Daytona, where he wrecked five cars. On his way out of Florida, Edwards said he was ready to dominate and win at Phoenix. He did just that, leading the final 78 laps on the 312-lap race around PIR’s odd-shaped oval in the first non-restrictor-plate race with NASCAR’s new Gen-6 car. Edwards got a good push from defending Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski on the restart with two laps left and pulled away from there, winning for the first time since Las Vegas in 2011. After parking his car at the fin-ish line, Edwards landed his first backflip in nearly two years and celebrated with the fans — just like he did at PIR after ending another 70-race winless streak in

2010. “I’m sure it’s a relief for someone like Carl,” said Denny Hamlin, who finished third and had a long winless streak end at Phoenix last year. “He’s now relevant again, he really is and it’s a good sign for their race team for things to come.” The big duel came behind Edwards. Despite struggling with his car most of the day, Hamlin made a bold move on the last lap with a pass on the apron below the dogleg. He popped up alongside Daytona 500 winner Jim-mie Johnson and the two drag-raced to the fin-ish, where Johnson edged him by a few inches. Keselowski, who was outside Johnson during Hamlin’s move, finished fourth and Dale Earn-hardt Jr. ended up fifth. “As far down as I was, I was committed, there was nothing that I was going to do where I would back out,” Hamlin said. “I just hoped I would have just slid in front of the 48, then you risk getting punted and spun, and your whole day you’ve worked everything for is taken away in a corner. I held my line and thought I really did the right thing and gave those guys room to pass me back — and one of them did.” The last Phoenix race, in November, set up Keselowski for his first Sprint Cup title after Johnson blew a tire. It also featured quite a sideshow. A running feud between Clint Bowyer and Jeff Gordon boiled over late in the race, setting off a brawl in the pits and Bowyer on a WWE-style dash to Gordon’s hauler. The drivers tried to downplay the confronta-tion after arriving in the desert this week, but it’s been hard to avoid, with video of the scrap-and-dash being shown all over in promos for the race and replays. Ryan Newman had the only dash this time around, running across the track and away from his car after it blew a right-front tire for the sec-ond time in 140 laps. Inside his car, Mark Martin failed in his bid to become the oldest Sprint Cup winner.

The 54-year-old became the second-oldest driver to start on the pole in a Sprint Cup car, a few months short of Harry Gant’s mark. Martin led the first 49 laps and 26 more later on, but couldn’t sustain it in his bid to become the old-est Sprint Cup winner, finishing 21st. “Obviously, it’s a disappointing result for a great effort on the weekend,” Martin said. “The car was pretty fast, but we had multiple prob-lems today.”

So did Danica Patrick, who had a rough follow-up to her breakthrough week at the Day-tona 500. Patrick became the first woman to win a pole and lead green-flag laps during NASCAR’s season opener, sending her popularity to a new level.

But she couldn’t stay with the leaders at Phoenix, ending her day with one of the hardest hits of her career. It happened with about 100 laps left, when the right-front tire on Patrick’s No. 10 Chevrolet went down and slammed her into the wall. Patrick’s car careened back into David Ra-gan, flipping her hood over the windshield and shredding the left front fender as protective foam from the driver’s side door flew onto the track. She came to a stop along the inside wall with a trail of debris covering about half the home straightaway behind her. She climbed from the car and was quickly cleared by the medical cen-ter. “Whenever those right-fronts go, they always hit hard because you don’t broadside, you hit more straight on,” said Patrick, who finished 39th. “It took a hard hit both sides and I’m fine, so NASCAR is doing a good job at safety. But no real good warning. The car wasn’t all that tight and most of the (problems) were in the rear, so there was no real vibration that told me that was going to happen.” Edwards set himself up for this victory with a late-night call to new crew chief Jimmy Fennig, knocking on his door around midnight Saturday to go over some last-minute details. For race morning, Edwards went for a hike to clear his mind and focused. It paid off, ending two years of frustration and self-doubt that grew as the streak grew. “Last year we didn’t even make the Chase,” Edwards said. “For me to sit home while every-body was at the Chase stuff and in Vegas, that was a little bit of a shock to me and I did not like that at all. To get a victory puts us in better posi-tion to be in the Chase, it just feels good to win and I’m just very glad to be here.”

just focus on the season.” Nalley added that playing club softball was a big help in her getting the opportunity to play college softball. “I have played in a bunch of college level games with my club team, so I think I will adjust pretty quickly,” she said. “The competition at the club level is a lot tougher than high school, so that has helped me a lot.” When Nalley arrives on campus next fall she will find a town of 6,500 people 62 miles west of Fargo. She plans on majoring in Business Adminis-tration. Valley City State is an NAIA school that plays in the Association of Independent Institutions. The Vikings went 26-20 last season and are 0-3 thus far this season. Nalley enters this high school season as a three-year letter winner and is coming off a 2012 season in which she earned 4A All-Fifth District honors.

Thompson wins Honda for 1st tour title DOUG FERGUSON

AP Golf Writer

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Michael Thompson’s dream of winning his first PGA Tour event was walking up the final fairway with a big lead and very little stress. The reality was much dif-ferent Sunday in the Honda Classic. He had a one-shot lead as he stood in the 18th fairway, some 240 yards from the flag with trouble in the way in the shape of large lake. The motto from his golf team at Alabama was to “finish strong,” and Thompson did just that. Instead of laying up, he drilled a 5-wood into the bun-ker left of the green, setting up a simple sand shot and a birdie he didn’t even need. He closed with a 1-under 69, one of only five rounds under par on a punishing day at PGA National to finally become a PGA Tour winner. “That for me kind of sealed the deal,” Thompson said. “It allowed me to walk up the fairway and enjoy the experi-ence, see the crowd and ... just finish strong.” The start wasn’t bad, either. Thompson holed a 50-foot eagle putt on the third hole, relied on a superb short game around the toughest part of the golf course to build a four-shot lead, and hung on for a two-shot win over Geoff Ogilvy that takes him places he always wanted to be. He gets into his first World Golf Championship next week at Doral, and qualifies for two more WGCs this year at Firestone and in Shanghai. He’s in the PGA Champion-ship, gets to start next year in Hawaii and earned a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour. And to think just two weeks ago he was so down after a 78-80 performance at Riviera that he wondered if he would ever make another cut. “This week was magical,” Thompson said. “Just had a groove and kept feeling it.” It turned out to be a big week for Ogilvy, too. The former U.S. Open champion missed his past four cuts and had plunged to No. 79 in the world ranking. He already missed the Match Play Championship and was ready to miss another WGC next week at Doral until putting together four solid rounds. He chipped in for birdie behind the 16th green and two-putted for birdie on the 18th for a 69 to finish alone in

second, moving him up to No. 47 to get into Doral. “I kind of penciled in a week off,” Ogilvy said. “So it’s nice, and it gets me back in the mix for the Masters.” Ogilvy has to stay in the top 50 by the end of the month to return to Augusta National. For now, he has smaller problems — he only packed enough for this week. “I’m going to have to go do some laundry,” Ogilvy said. “I haven’t got a hotel room for tonight. But half the tour lives in this area, so I’m sure I can find somewhere to stay.” Luke Guthrie, tied with Thompson for the 54-hole lead, fell behind with a bogey on the second hole and closed with a 73 to finish third. Tiger Woods was never in the picture. He started the fi-nal round eight shots behind, and whatever hopes he had of a rally ended on the sixth hole when he hit his drive so far to the right that the ball was never found. Woods took double bogey, and only an eagle on the final hole kept the damage to a minimum. He closed with a 74 — his first time since the Mas-ters last year that he failed to break par in any round of a 72-hole tournament — and tied for 37th.

It was the second straight year Woods closed with an eagle at PGA National — the difference was last year, it gave him a 62 and a tie for second. “I think I passed 62 some-where around 12,” Woods said. Despite a bogey on the final hole, Erik Compton had a 70 and was part of the five-way tie for fourth. Compton, who already has had two heart transplants, earned his first top-10 finish on the PGA Tour. Thompson finished at 9-un-der 271, a strong performance considering the difficult course and the weekend wind. He was among three players who never shot over par at PGA National. “You don’t have to do much wrong to be making a bogey out there, so it’s pretty impressive,” Ogilvy said of Thompson’s final round. “It’s a great effort, really. As you say by the rest of the scores, it’s a very hard golf course and it seems to get progres-sively harder in some ways. There’s a disaster waiting everywhere. “There’s a lot of golf cours-es on tour that it might be easy to close out a golf tourna-ment — or easier — but this is

not one of them.” Thompson was at his best in the middle part of the final round. He hit a tough chip off the pine straw to 3 feet for par on the 10th, and then hit flawless chips for easy par on the 11th and 14th holes to build a four-shot lead. Not even the late run by Ogilvy was enough to stop him. “This is everything,” Thompson said. “This is a childhood dream come true. I’ve dreamed of playing out here since I was 7 years old and to win, it’s just unbeliev-able. I just can’t put it into words. The whole day was awesome.” It was a mess for Woods. He lost two balls in a span of eight holes (the other one in the third round Saturday) for what he believes is the first time in his career. He hit into the water on the 11th for an-other double bogey, and drove into the water on the 16th. “I just made too many pen-alties this week,” Woods said. “Today is a perfect example. I didn’t play that poorly. I had two water balls and a lost ball. Take those away, and I missed two short birdie putts, and it was actually a decent score. So just got to clean up my rounds.”

The final round was never go-ing to be easy with the wind whipping on PGA National, and it showed. Of those who finished before the leaders even teed off, only two players managed to break par. Scor-ing was so difficult that Lucas Glover played the weekend in 2-over par and still tied for fourth. “You don’t move up very often — on tour — over par on the weekend, except for a place like this,” Glover said. Guthrie, who fell behind for good with a bogey on the second hole, did his best to stay in range until hitting his tee shot out of bounds on the 14th for a double bogey. From there, it was only a battle for second place. Everyone else was long gone. Westwood failed to save par on consecutive holes on the front nine and could never catch up. Charles Howell III, who started the day three shots behind and needed a win to get to the Masters in his hometown, fell apart on the back nine with a 41 and closed with a 78. Rickie Fowler made three bogeys on the first six holes and was never a factor.

Burke’s defensive plays help Michigan beat Michigan State

Associated Press

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Trey Burke stole the ball from Keith Appling near midcourt and went in alone for a dunk with 22 seconds remaining, then made another steal in the final seconds to give No. 4 Michigan a pulsating 58-57 win over No. 9 Michigan State on Sunday. The Spartans (22-7, 11-5 Big Ten) had the ball with the shot clock off at 56-all, but Burke’s first big defensive play en-abled Michigan (24-5, 11-5) to take the lead. After Derrick Nix made one of two free throws and Mitch McGary missed the front end of a 1-and-1 for Michigan, Burke stole a pass by Gary Harris to end it. The Michigan State loss clinches at least a share of the Big Ten title for Indi-ana.

nine of his 14 points in overtime and Pittsburgh rallied past Villanova. Zanna added a career-high 19 re-bounds for the Panthers (23-7, 11-6 Big East), who trailed by as much as nine in the second half. James Robinson also had 14 points for Pitt, including a game-tying 3-pointer with 33 seconds left in regulation and another in over-time that gave the Panthers a five-point lead. Ryan Arcidiacono led Villanova with 23 points but the Wildcats (18-12, 9-8) let an opportunity to pad their NCAA tour-nament resume slip away in the final Big

East game at Petersen Events Center. Zanna, who has struggled the last two months, scored the first seven points of overtime and Pitt held on to win its third straight.

sleds off as 41st iditarod race Begins in alaska

WILLOW, Alaska — Dogs aching to run bolted out of the chute Sunday to launch the 41st running of Alaska’s Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. Now 65 teams will be making their way through punishing wilderness toward the fin-ish line in Nome on Alaska’s western coast 1,000 miles away. The Iditarod kicked off Saturday with an 11-mile jaunt through Anchorage, 50 miles south of the real starting line in the town of Willow. Sunday’s event marked the competitive por-tion of the race. Saturday’s ceremonial start took place amid a party-like atmosphere. But Sunday’s mood was charged with tension as mushers switched to the business of racing — at least among top mushers like defending champion Dallas Seavey and four-time winners Lance Mackey, Jeff King and Martin Buser. They are among six past Iditarod winners in the running. Mackey, of Fairbanks, is the only musher to win the Yukon Quest and the Iditarod races the same year — accomplishing dual championships not once, but two years in a row. Mackey, a throat cancer survivor, has won both races four times and was hoping for a comeback to his last Iditarod championship in 2010.

dennis rodMan: nkorea leader Wants oBaMa to call WASHINGTON — Call me? Maybe? North Korea’s young leader has riled the U.S. with recent nuclear tests, but Kim Jong Un doesn’t really want war with the super-power, just a call from President Barack Obama to chat about their shared love of bas-ketball, according to ersatz diplomat Dennis Rodman, the ex-NBA star just back from an improbable visit to the reclusive communist country. “He loves basketball. ... I said Obama loves basketball. Let’s start there” as a way to warm up relations between U.S. and North Korea, Rodman told ABC’s “This Week.” “He asked me to give Obama something to say and do one thing. He wants Obama to do one thing, call him,” said Rodman, who called the authoritarian leader an “awesome guy” during his trip. The State Department criticized North Korea last week for “wining and dining’ Rodman while its own people go hungry. Rodman also said Kim told him, “I don’t want to do war. I don’t want to do war.”

altidore scores 24tH, Most for aMerican in euroPe Jozy Altidore broke Clint Dempsey’s record for most goals by an American in a European club season, scoring his 24th Sunday in AZ Alkmaar’s 2-1 loss at RKC Waalwijk in the Dutch Eridivisie. The 23-year-old tied the score in the 69th minute, running onto a pass into the pen-alty area and chipping goalkeeper Jeroen Zoet with a left-footed shot from about 12 yards. Altidore has 17 league goals to go along with seven in the Dutch Cup. Dempsey scored 23 goals for Fulham last season, including 17 in the English Premier League, three in the FA Cup and three in the Europa League. He transferred to Tottenham in August. Mart Lieder scored his second of the game for host Waalwijk in the 76th.

angels’ trout takes HigH road on salary, Position

TEMPE, Ariz. — Los Angeles Angels slugger Mike Trout figures if he keeps producing like he did during his historic rookie season, he’ll be in line for a handsome raise soon enough. The Angels renewed the contract of the AL Rookie of the Year for $510,000 on Sat-urday, just $20,000 above the major league minimum, prompting an angry response from Trout’s agent. While Craig Landis said the renewal “falls well short of a ‘fair’ contract,” Trout took the high road before a morning workout at the Angels’ spring training complex on Sunday, repeatedly insisting that “I’m just happy to be in the lineup.” “I mean, my time will come,” Trout said before a team meeting. “I just have to keep putting out numbers and concentrating on one thing, and that’s getting to the postseason.” Trout had a base salary of $482,500 last year, when he hit .326 with 30 homers and 83 RBIs, and led the majors with 129 runs and 49 steals. Trout was the run-away choice as the AL’s top rookie, earning a $10,000 bonus, and finished second to Detroit’s Miguel Cabrera in MVP voting. Trout has 1 year, 70 days of major league service, which the Angels historically have place more weight upon than performance in renewing contracts. Teams are allowed to re-new the contracts of unsigned players on their 40-man rosters from March 2-11.

Blackhawks rally to extend streakAssociated Press

DETROIT — Patrick Kane kept the Chicago Blackhawks’ record streak alive. Chicago extended its NHL-record, season-opening points streak to 22 games Sunday when Kane scored the tying goal on a power play with 2:02 left in regulation and had the only goal in a shootout. That lifted Chicago to a 2-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday. Corey Crawford was perfect in the shootout and finished with 32 saves to help his team win a ninth straight game. The Blackhawks (19-0-3) have earned at least a point in 28 straight games — dating to a March 25, 2012, loss in regulation to Nashville — to tie the second-longest streak in league his-tory. They’ve matched Montreal’s multi-season points streak from the 1977-78 season.

stars 4, Blues 1 DALLAS — Derek Roy had a goal and two assists and Kari Lehtonen made 25 saves to help lead Dallas over St. Louis. Loui Eriksson, Jaromir Jagr and Erik Cole also scored for Dallas.

Vinny Prospal had the other goal for the Blue Jackets, thanks to Ryan O’Reilly, who inadvertently tapped it in while making his Avalanche season debut after a contract dis-pute.

Hurricanes 3, PantHers 2 SUNRISE, Fla. — Jordan Staal, Alex-ander Semin, and Justin Faulk scored in Carolina’s win over Florida, giving the Hurricanes their second victory over the Panthers in as many nights. Dan Ellis made 19 saves for Carolina after replacing Cam Ward with 11:04 left in the second. Ward stopped all 15 shots he faced before leaving the game with what appeared to be a leg injury.

flaMes 4, canucks 2 MINNEAPOLIS — Mikko Koivu made up for a frustrating stretch without a goal by Minnesota, scoring 9 seconds into the third period to snap a tie and spark the Wild to a 4-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday. The Wild had an astounding 18-0 advantage in shots on goal in the second period, and the Oilers went 23:35 without a shot after Magnus Paajarvi’s goal tied the game late in the first period. Minnesota outshot Edmonton 43-21 for the night, and goalie Niklas Backstrom raised his career record at home against the

Oilers to 17-0.

NEW YORK — LeBron James had 29 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists, and the Miami Heat tied a franchise record with their 14th straight victory, ral-lying to beat the New York Knicks 99-93 on Sunday. Dwyane Wade added 20 points for the Heat, who had to overcome a 16-point defi-cit to beat the Knicks for the first time in three tries this season. Chris Bosh bounced back from a dismal first half to finish with 16 points. The defending NBA champions won their sixth straight on the road by con-trolling the final minutes against a team that had a pair of 20-point victories over them this season and looked ready to run them out of the building again.

THUNDER 108, CLIPPERS 104LOS ANGELES — Kevin

Durant scored 35 points, Russell Westbrook had 29 points and 10 assists, and Oklahoma City held off a late rally by Los Angeles in a matchup of two of the West’s best teams. Serge Ibaka added 16 points as the Thunder end-ed a three-game road skid, bouncing back less than 48 hours after losing at Den-ver. They also completed a season sweep of Los Ange-les, which is chasing Okla-homa City and NBA-best San Antonio out West.

PACERS 97, BULLS 92INDIANAPOLIS — Da-

their first of five straight games against teams with losing records. Memphis played without forward Zach Randolph, who rested the left ankle he sprained in last Friday’s loss to Miami.

WIZARDS 90, 76ERS 87WASHINGTON — John

Wall scored the final six points of the game after teammate Bradley Beal left the court with an apparent injury, leading Washington past Philadelphia. Beal went down with a sprained ankle with 2:08 left in the fourth quarter.

After being attended to by a trainer, he was carried off the court and through the tunnel by two teammates, keeping weight completely off both his legs. Wall scored the next four points to give the Wizards an 88-87 lead, blocked Evan Turner’s shot with 53 seconds left and added a jumper with 4.4 seconds left.

also. So here’s my word of advice: If you’re going to a new area for a week, hire a guide for a day. You can learn the good creeks and what to use. I’ve always jokingly said that I’m a pretty good fly fisherman if I have some-one to show me what fly to use and how to use it. But think about it. That really is 90 percent of the job. Who can’t catch fish if you know what they’re feeding on and how to present it? Here’s another good rea-son to hire a guide: You may like to Steelhead fish but can’t justify buying a boat. It may be cheaper to hire a guide a few times a year than it is to buy a boat, license it, store it and so forth. You don’t have to pull a boat to the lake, just meet the guide and fish. So hiring a guide may save you a lot of time and speed up your success rate. But don’t forget, if you have a buddy that fishes a certain lake or river a lot, go with him. What’s the dif-ference in him and a guide? He knows every hole and which ones hold fish.
