Jerome CheeseHigh Tech - High Production

by Charlie Correll

Now operating at a capacity of three times as much as when it started in 1992 and with 300 employ-ees, Jerome Cheese is no doubt the major industry for Jerome and the Magic Valley.

And a summary of the production figures are impressive. There are 88-90 truckloads of milk (six million lbs.) delivered each day. There is usually a line of milk tanker trucks lined up outside waiting to unload, which take about 20 minutes for each one.

The total milk pur-chased amounts to about $350 million paid to dairy farms per year. At a pro-duction rate of 195-200,000 lbs. of milk per hour, that produces 625-650,000 lbs. of cheese per day. Over 400,000 gallons of useable water is also extracted from the milk when processing.

Trucks waiting in line to unload milk

Jerome Plant

Jerome Cheese does offer some contracting of milk with producers to help smooth the price during times of volatility in milk prices. Currently the market price of milk is just under $15.50 per hundred-weight.

In addition to the cheese production, there is also 25,000 lbs. of protein and over ½ million lbs. of whey power produced each day. Any cream left as a result of producing fat free cheese is shipped to other plants for butter and ice-cream manufacturing. After an expansion in 1997, Je-rome Cheese also processes Whey Protein Isolate, Bi-PRO®, a patented Davisco Foods specialty product and they are now able to pro-cess Alpha-lactalbumin and Beta-lactoglobulin.

The plant is highly automated and uses about

50 PLC’s -programmable logic controller, which is a digital computer used for automation of industrial electromechanical process-

es, which virtually control the entire plant, all capable of communicating with one

The lab analyzes cheeses in process so operators can adjust the cheese making if necessary. Jerome Cheese produces five or six different kinds of Mozzarella and some cheddar.

Observing the Mozza-rella line, 40 pound blocks of cheese go from start to finish with hardly any han-dling by employees. Even after wrapping, the blocks are weighed, labeled, and read by computer which enters the information into a database that keeps track of each block in the ware-house until shipped.

I was able to tour the cheese producing areas, but other areas are off limits because of the propriety products that are manufac-tured.

According to a news release posted on Jerome Cheese’s website, they announced completion of a significant increase in production capacity of Alpha-lactalbumin facility. The potential Alpha-lactal-bumin volume from Jerome Cheese will be increasing tenfold. Davisco’s unique product is isolated to over 90% Alpha-lactalbumin, the highest purity com-mercially available. The new isolation expansion of Alpha-lactalbumin is an engineering marvel that re-quired a substantial capital investment to complete. Davisco’s Alpha-lactalbu-min has a strong worldwide demand because of the exceptional purity and the levels of the amino acid

tryptophan, which is sought for use in nutritional bever-ages and infant formulas.

Milk is collected from 85 dairies totaling 6 ½ million lbs. Their aver-age dairy milks 950 cows, and the largest is over 8,000 cows. All of Jerome Cheese’s producers are located within 50 miles of the plant.

Davisco Foods is an international cheese and food ingredient company headquartered in Le Sueur, MN. Founded in 1943 by Stanley Davis, with his purchase of the St. Peter Creamery, Davisco is man-aged by Jon Davis, CEO and grandson of the found-er. Davisco has cheese companies in Le Sueur, MN, Jerome, ID and Lake Norden, SD as well as food ingredient companies in Le Sueur and Nicollet, MN, Lake Norden, SD and Je-rome, ID. Davisco has sales offices in Minneapolis, Ge-neva, Shanghai, Singapore and worldwide strategic partners in the Middle East, Japan, China and Africa.

Last year Agropur, Canada’s largest dairy cooperative, acquired the dairy processing assets of Davisco. Agropur stated that this transaction will double Agropur’s US processing operations and will increase its global milk intake by 50%. The presi-dent of Agropur stated that “with over US $1 billion in annual sales, this acqui-sition is by far the largest transaction in Agropur’s 76 year history.” Agropur was founded in 1938. The cooperative has 3,449 dairy

producer owners and 6,500 employees. It owns 32 plants across Canada and United States.

John Blaye of Jerome 20/20 said that “as Jerome’s

largest employer, Jerome Cheese has a very signifi-cant economic impact and is also a big supporter of all community efforts. Davis-co Foods is an international

company and has a history of significant growth. Now that they are part of Agro-pur, that growth will con-tinue and be beneficial to our community.” §§§

Part 1 - Challenge Brand established

1909Challengedairy.com

In November 1909, after much solid or-ganizational work by many people, Tulare dairymen organized the Dairymen’s Coop-erative Creamery, and named J P Murphy as manager. Shortly after, in April 1910, the infant organization was locat-ed in its new creamery plant in the town of

Challenge Brand of Butter and Dairy

Productsby Earl Gilmartin

Tulare. Indicating the spirit of aggressiveness that permeated the new farmer-owned associa-tion, the trade name of “Challenge” was adopt-ed as the brand for the products.

Legend has it the company name “Chal-lenge” was selected by the first President of Challenge Cream and Butter Association, J.P. Murphy. Over dinner he studied a mural on the wall that showed

Challenge Butter is still being marketed 100 years after it’s founding

two elk coming together to spar for the position of “king of the forest”. Under this mural were the words, “The Chal-lenge.” At the time, Mr. Murphy felt that this was exactly what he and the dairymen he repre-sented were trying to accomplish. They were challenging the oth-er dairy organizations with a product that was known for its quality.

Producing primar-ily butter, and market-ing through wholesale houses in Los Angeles, events moved smooth-

ly for a few months for the new organization. Then, due to inequita-ble price quotations and storage problems in the city, movement of butter reached such a stalemate that the creamery had every nook and cranny filled to the roof with the product of the churns, and no ready market.

established 1911Challengedairy.com

On January 2, 1911, The Challenge Cream &

Butter Company opened for business in a rented storeroom in Los Ange-les to sell the products of cooperative cream-ery associations in Riv-erdale and Tulare. The staff consisted of a man-ager, assistant manager, bookkeeper, and deliv-ery salesman - four peo-ple. The new company owned a wagon but had to rent a horse to pull it.

So it was, without fanfare or celebration, that on January 1, 1911, under the name of the Challenge Cream & Butter Company, the

THE IDAHO RODEO HALL OF FAME LONG HORN STEERS IN GOODING, ID ARE GETTING RESTLESS!

Spring is on the way with green grass beginning to show and the Long Horned Steers are getting restless with urges to bunch up and migrate to main street grass again in Gooding!

They really enjoyed them-selves last year – so much so that they had several injuries to their horns, legs & feet due to sprinkler and irrigating

water damage from staying on last years’ grass too long and the high winds. To our dismay, some of them didn’t survive the winter. Due to the high cost of beef and steer rustlers last year, we’re considering implant chips!

We had many people who declared they wanted the steers to remain year around and the spirit of community and compe-

tition proved to be so great that The Idaho Rodeo Hall of Fame has revamped their guidelines for the June 1 through Sep-tember 20, 2015 season to in-clude FIVE AWARDS! There will be 5 categories the judg-ing will be based on: Judge’s Choice Award, People’s Choice Award, Best Western Theme, Best Theme Reflecting Your Business and Most Hu-morous Award. Each of these categories will receive awards so keep a watchful eye for the herd that will be arriving soon and be sure to pick up your monthly paper for more infor-mation.

It is our pleasure to an-nounce the 2015 board mem-bers of the Idaho Rodeo Hall of Fame are President Lon-nie LeaVell, Gooding ID; 1st Vice President Zeb Bell, Mur-taugh, ID; Secretary/Treasurer Charmy LeaVell, Gooding, ID

JEROME COUNTY SIGNS PROCLAMATION TO CELEBRATE IDAHO DAY

by Cathy RoemerJerome County Commissioner

Jerome County Commissioners signed a Proclamation on March 2nd recognizing March 4th to be the first officially designated “Ida-ho Day” as set forth by the Idaho Legislature.

The state Legislature enacted House Bill No. 378 last year, add-ing a new section (73-108C) to Ida-ho Code, to create an official date for Idaho Day.

Representative Linden Bateman (R), from District 33B, Idaho Falls, proposed the legislation in 2014. He was quoted as saying, “Celebra-tions nourish and inspire the human spirit. The more we learn about Ida-ho, the more we will love her and the more we love her, the more we

will serve her.”The Legislative Intent of the bill

says, in part,”President Abraham Lincoln, having signed the con-gressional act creating the Idaho Territory on March 4, 1863, it is the intent of the Legislature to rec-ognize March 4th as IDAHO DAY, through which the people of Idaho may yearly celebrate the rich histo-ry, cultural diversity, unique beau-ty and boundless resources of the State of Idaho....”

Governor Otter kicked off the first Idaho Day Celebration with a commemoration program in the Lincoln Auditorium in the Idaho State Capitol building. The ceremo-ny was open to the public and in-

cluded the Governor reading a state proclamation and taking part in a group “selfie” photo with participat-ing students.

The Idaho State Historical Soci-ety, along with other State agencies, counties and community organiza-tions participated in this year’s Ida-ho Day Celebration.

Janet Gallimore, executive of the Idaho State Historical Society, said, “Idaho Day activities will empower Idahoans to learn more about the historical and cultural roots of con-temporary Idaho as well as celebrate all that makes Idaho unique, ma-jestic and the place we love to call home.” Gallimore asked Idahoans to post selfie photos of themselves and

their favorite things about Idaho to a social media site.

By this printing of the North Side Journal, the first Idaho Day will have come and gone. But there will be plenty of time to plan ahead for next year whether it be a special ac-tivity, event or even an “I Love Ida-ho” selfie.

Be sure to visit the Idaho State Historical Society website for more information on IDAHO DAY.

The following flyer will give you some insight to the purpose of Ida-ho Day and also some interesting facts about Idaho.

Water is a prized commodity and as we approach the plant-ing season, the success or failure of the crops will be de-pendent in a large measure on the availability of water. We first reported the percentage of capacity for the various res-ervoirs on the Upper Snake River back in January. We have seen very little snow or moisture since January here in the Magic Valley. Fortunately, the mountains to the east of us have fared somewhat better as can be seen in the overall percentage of capacity of the Upper Snake River Basin.

The weather to the east of us has not been quite as mild as we have seen here. Hopefully, the Spring melt and run-off will further replenish the reservoirs of the Upper Snake River Basin.

ALBION AMMON BOISE BURLEY EAGLE HAILEY IDAHO FALLS JEROME KETCHUM MERIDIAN NAMPA POCATELLO RUPERT TWIN FALLS

There are 34.7 million U.S. resi-dents with Irish ancestry. This number is more than seven times the popula-tion of Ireland itself.

St. Patrick and the Shamrock - Saint Patrick, who lived during the fifth century, is the patron saint and national apostle of Ireland. Born in Roman Britain, he was kidnapped and brought to Ireland as a slave at the age of 16. He later escaped, but returned to Ireland and was credited with bring-ing Christianity to its people. In the centuries following Patrick’s death (believed to have been on March 17, 461), the mythology surrounding his life became ever more ingrained in the Irish culture. Perhaps the most well known legend is that he explained the Holy Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) using the three leaves of a na-tive Irish clover, the Shamrock.

The Leprechaun - The original Irish name for these figures of folklore is “lobaircin,” meaning “small-bodied fellow.”

Belief in leprechauns comes from the Celtic belief in fairies, tiny men and women who could use their magical powers to serve good or evil. In Celtic folktales, leprechauns were angry little people who were respon-sible for mending the shoes of the oth-er fairies. Though only minor figures in Celtic folklore, leprechauns were known for their trickery, which they often used to protect their much-fa-bled treasure.

Corn Beef & Cabbage - For most of us in the United States, corned beef and cabbage is synonymous with St. Patrick’s Day. But its association with the holiday isn’t an Irish tradition. It is a uniquely American tradition.

Corned beef has been around for centuries and has been a staple in many cultures, including most of Eu-rope and the Middle East. It gets its name from the “corns” or large grains of salt used to cure the meat. Ireland became known for exporting corned beef in the 17th century after British land owners brought cattle into Ire-land. But the Irish people couldn’t afford to eat it themselves their tra-ditional dishes used corned pork in-stead. In the 18th century, when large numbers of Irish immigrants came to the U.S., they brought with them the idea of beef as a luxury. So when they found salted beef brisket was cheap in the States, they were quick to replace their traditional “Irish bacon.”

When did the first St. Patrick’s Day parade take place?

The first parade held to honor St. Patrick’s Day took place not in Ireland but in the United States. On March 17, 1762, Irish soldiers serving in the En-glish military marched through New York City. Along with their music, the parade helped the soldiers reconnect with their Irish roots, as well as with fellow Irishmen serving in the English army. §§§


Under the shade of the cottonwood trees, con-venient parking for both vendors and customers, the Farmers Market will be even more inviting this year.

Previously located at Crossroads, it was a hard decision to move from there. Kathy Bartholomew said the Crouch’s have been very accommodat-ing letting them set up on that property that had a prime location. And being so close to the interstate helped with their success. But Crossroads continues to be developed and with construction beginning on some nearby parcels, they didn’t want to chance dealing with the dust along with the winds in that open area.

The vendor tents were at the mercy of the south-ern Idaho winds, which would cause damage on both the frames and the material costing hundreds of dollars. With protection from the Mt View Barn and the trees, it will appeal to

everyone.

Nina and John Hol-lifield talked to Bar-tholomew about locating at the Mt View Barn and both concluded it would be an ideal arrangement.

There will be potable water and restroom facil-ities available and break-fast and lunch is available at the restaurant at Mt. View Barn.

Besides opening day festivities on June 6, highlights will include an ice-cream social in July, Dutch-oven cook-off in August with prizes. The last day on October 10 will be the biggest event of the year with all the pumpkins, squash and so much other produce that has been harvested.

Besides most of the regular vendors they have had in the past, there will be even more new offerings of produce and merchandise this year (like buckwheat honey). To be a vendor, sponsor or volunteer at the Farmers

Market, contact Kathy Bartholomew.

The Farmers Market at the Mountain View Barn is located at 382 East 300 South, Jerome, just off Highway 93. To enter, turn west off Highway 93 onto the 300 South road and enter the parking lot to the north.

modest business of distribution be-gan in Los Angeles. A small rented storeroom, one horse, one wagon and four employees encompassed the sales agency. Competition and disinterested observers of that time gloomily proph-esied a life-span of about four months for the little firm with the defiant name.

The business grew slowly at first. Because of the untiring efforts of men who tramped daily from store to store,

demonstrating the higher qualities of the farmers’ own butter, the brand caught public fancy and sales increased until the Challenge brand became the

One Man Band Debuts at Senior Centerby Charlie Correll

Richard (Ricky Lee) Mittan

When you hear the term ‘one man band’, you tend to think of an enter-tainer with a guitar, percussion operat-ed with one foot, a cowbell and maybe a harmonica. But Ricky Lee Mittan doesn’t begin to fit that description.

Not often does someone play lead gui-tar for 50 years and make the shift to keyboard, and so successfully. But that change wasn’t easy.

After two job related accidents with-in a few months, Richard (Ricky Lee) Mittan found himself unable to use his left hand to do the fingering needed to play the guitar. Retiring four years ago from a print house in Salt Lake City, he was at a loss not being able

to play guitar. With encouragement from his wife, Karen, he taught him-self how to play the keyboard well enough to entertain for audiences.

Lacking 10 hours of having a college degree in music (just as Uncle Sam caught up with him for the Service), he never became proficient at play-ing notes by sight. But with practice on the keyboard, he has become very proficient at playing and singing so it sounds like he has a full backup band.

He started playing at age 16 in Mee-teetse, Wyoming. He mounted an amplifier made from a speaker out of the movie house into a breadbox, and sang from the upstairs with an open window- to the neighbors and birds.

Soon after he and Karen were married, a friend asked him to fill in for a mem-ber that was leaving for two weeks for National Guard training. It was news to Karen so she quizzed him as to what that meant. He had to explain that he would be playing in a band. Surprise!

Using the Borg Pa-80 might seem to some as just a karaoke machine, but you do have to physically play it. There are downloads for part of the background, but Mittan has to in-put the types of background, playing keys for melody, chords, choosing other backup sounds and rhythm, and tweaking it to get a natural sound. The lead can be just about any instrument: guitar, sax, horns, or strings. He also sings the songs he’s playing.

Putting all this together wasn’t easy. He practiced for over a year perfect-ing the combinations and instrument sounds for backup.

Before moving to Jerome a year ago last September, he had played at se-nior centers and high rise apartments.

It was evident afterwards that his per-formance was well received. There was a line of well-wishers thanking him for his music and many asking if he knew a favorite tune or if he knew

the artist of a particular song.

Even with his accomplishment, Mit-tan says it’s been one of the hardest things he’s done.

He likes songs from the 40’s to 60’s era, the ‘oldies’, and prefers those with good rhythms, since he used to play in dance bands. Also he favors those with positive themes.

Mittan will be doing a weekly show at the Senior Center on Mondays during the noon meal beginning March 9.

Jerome County Breaks Ground on

New Jailby Charlie Correll

After ten years in the making and with a successful passage by Jerome County voters on the fifth try, construction began on the new jail immediately after the ceremo-ny ended. On Thursday afternoon March 5, Commission Chair Char-lie Howell introduced Lt. Gover-nor Brad Little, fellow Commis-sioners Roger Morley and Cathy Roemer, Sheriff Doug McFall and Zions Bank representatives.

Russ Moorhead, who is the architect for the project, was hired a year and a half ago. His firm is the design architect, and there is also a technical architect, Hummel Architects, who did the construc-tion drawings. Moorhead’s firm, LCA Architects, put together the design and all the technical crite-ria for the county. Moorhead will be acting as the owner’s represen-tative, overseeing the construction and the contractor until the facility is occupied.

The facility will be 40,023 square feet, and will have 126 beds that can be expanded to 196. The construction cost will be $10,830,766. Scheduled com-pletion date is the end of February 2016.

Moorhead said there were a lot of meetings with the county and the sheriff’s office to design the building around the operations to keep the costs as low as pos-sible. It wasn’t about getting the most square footage, but about keeping the operational cost at its most efficient level. The design goal of the detention section was to keep it staff efficient. Every-one’s other criteria goal was to also have an energy efficient fa-cility, to meet the minimum codes

on energy and still be efficient. Moorhead said, “Those goals are important because the operation-al cost of the facility is something the citizens are going to be paying forever, over the life of the facility, long after the 20 year bonds for the building are paid off. Those were the main goals on which the com-mittee and sheriff’s staff wanted to focus.”

Morhead said the process to this point for him has been time consuming but working with the sheriff, his staff and the commis-sioners has been relatively easy. Moorhead said he enjoyed design-ing these types of facilities, and his company has designed about 80 detention facilities across the northwest.

Russ Moorhead was born and raised in Jerome so it was kind of a privilege to come back and work here. His grandfather and dad had a trucking company in Jerome and he and his family moved away in 1970. His parents have since moved back to Wendell.

Jeff Stevens made a hole in one on the 5th hole at Je-rome Country Club on Feb. 12, 2015. He was playing with Jesse Palas, Trevor Hill, and Spike Reese. The Hole Played 152 Yards. Jeff used a 9 iron.

Benjamin Franklin, after being un-pleasantly stirred from sleep at 6 a.m. by the summer sun, the founding fa-ther penned a satirical essay in which he calculated that Parisians, simply by waking up at dawn, could save the modern-day equivalent of $200 million through “the economy of using sun-shine instead of candles.” As a result of this essay, Franklin is often erroneous-ly given the honor of “inventing” day-light saving time, but he only proposed a change in sleep schedules—not the time itself.

Englishman William Willett led the first campaign to implement day-light saving time. While on an ear-ly-morning horseback ride around the desolate outskirts of London in 1905, Willett had an epiphany that the Unit-ed Kingdom should move its clocks forward by 80 minutes between April and October so that more people could enjoy the plentiful sunlight. The En-glishman published the 1907 brochure “The Waste of Daylight”and strongly pushed for “summer time.”

DayLight Savings Time

by Marcia Luther

Germany was actually the first country to enact daylight saving time. It took World War I for Willett’s dream to come true, but on April 30, 1916, Germany embraced daylight saving time to conserve electricity. (He may have been horrified to learn that Brit-ain’s wartime enemy followed his rec-ommendations before his homeland.) Weeks later, the United Kingdom fol-lowed suit and introduced “summer time.”

Daylight Saving Time has been used in the U.S. and in many Europe-an countries since World War I. At that time, in an effort to conserve fuel need-ed to produce electric power, Germa-ny and Austria began saving daylight at 11:00 p.m. on April 30, 1916, by advancing the hands of the clock one hour until the following October. The plan was not formally adopted in the U.S. until 1918. ‘An Act to preserve daylight and provide standard time for the United States’ was enacted on March 19, 1918.

States and territories in the Unit-ed States that do not observe daylight saving time, aside from most of Ari-zona, some parts of Indiana, Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.

from Challenge visit his cream-ery and also the Boise Co-op-erative Creamery. We went to Idaho the following spring and spent several weeks working with both creameries.On the last day of the first Ida-ho visit we were at the Jerome Cooperative Creamery. Young manager Roy D Smith had been employed only a few months before when the Business was threatened with failure. Un-der his successful management the Association became large and strong. The creamery was then receiving cream on a sweet and sour basis, paying on grade and churning the sweet cream separately, rather advanced for that time. A minimum carload shipment of butter was being made for a Los Angeles broker every three weeks.Mr Smith took me (i.e. C L Mitchel) to his home and there introduced me to his young wife. Then, with the wife and baby Barbara, he took me for a tour of the countryside.In the afternoon we viewed the enchanting spring-fed Blue Lakes in Snake River Canyon, then on to Shoshone Falls, then in full flow and one of the great-est sights in North America. Entranced, we lingered so long

at the Falls that as we pulled into the railroad depot at Twin Falls, to enable me to take the afternoon train for Los Angeles, it pulled out, but we did not long regret this de-lay. We had our dinner together in the Twin Falls Hotel, then we talked Challenge until time for the midnight train. I doubt if the Je-rome Cooperative Creamery has ever shipped a carload of its dairy products to another outlet than Challenge from that time on.

February 24, 2015 – (JEROME, Idaho) – Idaho Milk Products and Bettencourt Dairies have sponsored a nationally recognized program at a Wendell Middle School to in-crease awareness and help prevent bullying. The program, Rachel’s Challenge, was created to provide schools with a continual improve-ment process that fosters a positive learning environment and address-es bullying. Bettencourt Dairies and Idaho Milk Products present-ed Wendell Middle School with a donation to support the program during the course of the school year.

“Bullying hinders the learning process and putting a stop to bully-ing is a top priority at the Wendell Middle School. That’s why Princi-pal Kelsey and the Wendell Middle School have embraced Rachel’s Challenge. Rachel’s Challenge is a great project that helps students un-derstand the consequences of bully-ing and how it affects their fellow students, friends and even family. Even if Rachel’s Challenge only touches one student’s heart, as it did ours, we know it will have made a difference. We are glad to donate to such a successful program that will continue throughout the school year,” said Sharon Bettencourt, Owner of Bettencourt Dairies, LLC.

Rachel’s Challenge will help Wendell Middle School create a positive climate to further enhance the learning environment at their school. A club known as FOR (The Friends of Rachel), has been estab-lished at Wendell Middle School. This club consists of 7th and 8th grade students hosted by advisor Mrs. Smith and 5th and 6th grade students hosted by club advisor Mr. Kuka. In total, FOR consists of 35 students that meet once a week during lunch to plan activities and promote positivity.

“Whereas most anti-bullying movements emphasize the need to stop negative behavior, the Ra-chel’s Challenge program, which has been presented to millions of people across the world, promotes acts of kindness, motivating stu-dents to create a positive climate in their school. Accordingly, staff and students alike pledged to ac-cept Rachel’s Challenge, and after the whole-school assembly, sever-al students were invited to train to be members of a special Friends of Rachel Club,” said Mr. Luke Kelsey, Principal of Wendell Mid-dle School.

We are honored to have the op-portunity to support Wendell Mid-dle School with Rachel’s Challenge.

Bullying is too common in schools around the country and it needs to be stopped,” said Kent Giddings, General Manager of Idaho Milk Products. “Programs such as this bring us one step closer to eliminat-ing bullying in our schools and cre-ating a stronger community.”

About Rachel’s ChallengeRachel’s Challenge is a nation-

al non-profit organization dedicated to creating safe, connected school environments where learning and teaching are maximized. Based on the life and writing of Rachel Scott, the first victim of the Columbine

tragedy in 1999, Rachel’s Challenge provides a continual improvement process for schools designed to awaken the learner in every child. We motivate and equip students to start and sustain a chain reaction of kindness and compassion that trans-forms schools and communities. About Idaho Milk Products

CSI’s Herrett Forum Presents SOFIA

Imagine being invited to take a flight aboard one of NASA’s most sophis-ticated and, quite frankly, coolest aircraft – a plane that takes its passengers to the weightless altitude of 45,000 feet! Longtime Twin Falls High School educator Jo Dodds got to do that in June of 2013 along with fellow educator Ralph Pe-terson of North Gem High School. The two self-pro-claimed science geeks will talk about their adventure of a lifetime at the next Herrett Forum at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 18 at the Herrett Center for Arts

and Science. Dodds and Pe-terson were selected to fly aboard NASA’s Strato-spheric Observatory for In-frared Astronomy. SOFIA, as the modified Boeing 747 jetliner is dubbed, is equipped with a very so-phisticated telescope, capa-ble of making observations that are impossible for even the most advanced land-based telescopes on Earth. The teachers experienced cutting-edge scientific re-search as they were teamed with Cornell University re-searchers who are observ-ing the center of our galaxy.

The Herrett Forum is a monthly series of pre-sentations generally held the third Wednesday eve-ning of each month during the school year. Topics are coordinated by the Herrett Forum Committee, a group of community individuals dedicated to bringing high quality presentations to Twin Falls. No tickets are required for this free pub-lic lecture. Doors open at 7 p.m. The Herrett Center for Arts and Science is locat-ed on the north side of the College of Southern Idaho campus at the North Col-lege Road entrance. §§§

Jerome Debate - Off to State

Seven members of the Jerome Debate group qualified for State which will be held at Madison High School on March 13 and 14.

By: Aca Deca Advisor Wendy Wright

Testing for fun? Are you crazy! This is what the JHS Academic Decathlon team hears when they say they are going to a meet. Each year these Academic Decathletes compete in ten different areas: music, mathematics, eco-nomics, language and literature, science, art, so-cial science, speech, interview, and Super Quiz. There is a different focus every year, and this year the focus was Alternative Energy.

The team is divided in to three catego-ries; Honors, Scholastic and Varsity and which category a person is in depends on their GPA. A full team has nine people with three in each cat-egory. However, for the last couple of years Ms. Wright has worked hard to maintain the team just to keep the program going.

This year she took only three decath-letes to the District meet. Each of them medaled which makes her very proud of the work they have done. Lyric Nance’s favorite part of Aca-de-ca is “the traveling and meeting new people.” Nance has been with the team for three years

and has gone to Nationals once where she earned a scholarship.

Right now the team is preparing for their state meet, which will be held at the College of Southern Idaho March 13 and 14. This is the first time that CSI has hosted the state competition.

Baseball ... It’s Spring Again

Jerome- Spring is in the air which means another season of the great American sport, baseball.

Jerome has four varsity returners which include: Trever Ostler, Tanner Crawford, Nathan Suitter and Nick McDonald. The Tigers will be looking to these experi-enced varsity players to set the tempo for this upcoming year. When Ostler was asked about his excitement for the new season he responded with, “Is that even a question?”

The Tigers lost a big senior class last year that filled their lineup. However, Jerome still has the ability to have a solid de-fense and the capacity to swing the bat well.

The Tigers weak spot will be on the mound because of the limited number of pitchers. However, Jerome will focus on throwing strikes and relying on a solid defense to back up their pitching.

Jerome hasn’t had a lot of participation in the baseball program so a big concern

is the lack of depth in the lineup this year. Jerome is looking at younger kids to step it up and perform on the varsity level.

Despite Jerome’s losses the new head coach, Joshua Clixby said, “We can get where we want to go.” Clixby focused on how Jerome needs to find what their game will be and then focus on perfect-ing it through fast paced, upbeat prac-tices. Clixby said they need to be “crisp”.

Clixby mentioned how the focus will be on this year and this year only, “We can’t compare to our team last year.” Clixby sees potential in the lineup this year and plans on doing everything he can to bet-ter his players.

There won’t be a noticeable change in the Jerome baseball program even with the loss of previous head coach Tom Bo-browski.

The Tigers plan on being competitive in the 4A Great Basin Conference and plan on having a successful year.

New Exhibit at the Herrett Center

Step into the gallery that used to be called the ‘Stone Tools Exhibit’ at the Herrett Center for Arts and Science the evening of Friday, March 20 and suddenly, you’ll feel like you’re 5,000 miles and at least 500 years away. The Herrett Center invites the public to the celebration of its newest exhibit, ‘Andean Ascent,’ from 7 to 9 p.m. that evening.

The focal point of the new exhibit is a wall-sized mural of Machu Pic-chu, the site of an ancient Inca village nearly 8,000 feet above sea level. Right below the mural is a mummy, so realistic-looking that it will certain-ly make visitors move in for a closer look.

“At least three kinds of Peruvian mummies have been studied,” said Herrett Exhibits Manager Joey Heck. “The Inca occasionally sacrificed a young, flawless victim to their gods by taking them high in the Andes,

drugging them, and either killing the victim outright or letting them die of exposure. Their remains would mummify naturally in the dry, thin cli-mate. In addition, the bodies of Inca royalty and high-status individuals were sometimes intentionally mummified with salt and other substances. These mummies were enshrined in cities and paraded publically during important festivals. The third type is generally referred to as a mummy bundle. Throughout much of Peruvian history, cultures believed strongly in life after death. The dead were interred with goods, food, and tools to aid them in the afterlife. Corpses were bound in a fetal position and then wrapped or bundled in layers of animal skin, roughly woven cloth, or ex-pensive textiles, dependent upon the local custom or economic status of the deceased. Because of the low moisture and sandy soils, their remains often mummified naturally.”

As the Jerome softball team starts off another season, there are high expectations for success. Jay Cummins, head varsity coach, said, “We have a lot of really good girls re-turning; it should be exciting to see what they do.” Cummins is also excited to watch these athletes develop physi-cally and mentally.

The returning seniors this year are: Leslie Ploss, Kassidy Giles, Lyndzie Parker and Katy Howard. These girls have been playing together for several years now and will be putting a lot of work in.

Howard said, “This year I think we will be able to capitalize well in dis-tricts.” Howard believes that through team bonding and working together this season will go smoothly and there will be less girl-drama and more soft-ball.

Jerome will have some tough competition this year against their ri-vals Canyon Ridge and Wood River. The girls are very optimistic and will-ing to work even harder than before. It will be interesting to see how well these girls will perform against these equally skilled teams.

Cummins believes that Je-rome is capable if they put their minds together and work as a team. He of-fered his advice for those trying out, to stay positive and work hard. He said improving their mental game is imper-ative.

The Jerome Tiger’s first dou-bleheader conference game is on March 13th at 3:00pm and 5:00pm against Rigby. On April 3rd the Tiger’s will play their first home 4A Great Ba-sin Conference at 4:30pm. Come out and support your Tiger’s as they battle their way through the season.

Greetings from Boiseby Rep. Maxine Bell

It is wonderful to be back at your beautiful state capitol building. I am truly grateful for the opportuni-ty to again be your representative in the State Legislature. We began the new session by sitting on the Capi-tol steps on a bright, brisk January day to see your Constitutional offi-cers take the oath of office. It is an event that comes with our freedoms and wonderful to be a part of. Af-ter the first day of the session when we were given the State of the State message the pace has picked up and we are finishing the first short month at high speed.

After an overview of the state of the economy which is promising, we headed into health and welfare of our citizens. The good news was that we are fourth in the nation for growth after the dismal years of economic trouble. Our unemploy-ment is at a new low, just under 4 percent. However I have to won-

der if there are many still underem-ployed and some who have given up the effort. For our area at least, the new industries have brought many good jobs. Along with what appears to be a much strengthened job market, we have been

able to provide a cushion in our state savings account should we have another bump in the road. The depression the state experienced a half dozen years ago took all the savings we had and still caused our schools to struggle in their efforts to teach our children.

THE FIRST MONTH ENDED with hearings on the two largest budgets the state is responsible for. My head is reeling with the num-bers and facts of the presentations all important to the budget process and more important even to those who provide the welfare and educa-tion services. I would like to share a few interesting things I heard for

your consideration. One in every four in Idaho has

some service from Health and Wel-fare with help as small as weather-ization to the serious need for help from food stamps.

Public assistance is a small part of the help and one can only be helped if looking or training for work. Medicaid is over 80% of the budget and is help for the blind, dis-abled, many children and pregnant women. We had a high of 218,000 on Food Stamps at a cost of 310 mil-lion but to date about 38,000 have found employment and have been able to take care of themselves. 1.5 million of this budget goes to Head Start yearly. Placement of children in danger is a sad piece of this in-formation to hear about. We have 20,000 calls a year to law enforce-ment about children who are ne-glected or in danger, with over

7,000 removed from those homes. To date we have 2500 in foster care, thanks to loving foster homes who many times are grand-parents.

And a few more words to main-tain a healthy Idaho, we are 47th in the nation for active doctors with almost a fourth of those over 60. More needed to help grow our own.

The final week in January was spent with education. The econom-ic downturn was the first time in history we were forced to cut these budgets. It has been a slow climb and we are not back to the funding level we were in 2008 but gaining. With the efforts to replace comes

the continued growth in students and needs to provide what they need in todays world. Along with the requests for help there were many bright moments to share. At ISU 60 percent of the students take on-line classes to help with the crowded class rooms and keep from extra time and debt. General requirements can be received com-pletely on line. BSU has 20 degrees and certificates totally on line. And the demand for computer science degrees is growing stronger. In fact one of every two new jobs is in that field with the other demand in the health field. LCSC has a new proj-ect starting called Work College. This is not work study but a way to work on the campus and be paid in college classes, hopefully finish-ing with very little debt. It is very successful in many eastern states. You would have to wonder why this would not have been something for President Obama to have support-ed. We completed the first month by hearing from Superintendent Ybarra. She has not had enough time to complete her view of the education world but is very serious about helping our school districts as much as possible. She like all of us wants to reward teachers better but as I reported last year the plan is still on the drawing board. She is supportive of the tools for distance learning. As you may remember there is funding for up to 400.00 per

New Exhibit at the Herrett Center

cont’d from B2

MUMMY

Heck says the exhibit will feature many items that have never been displayed before at the Herrett Cen-ter. Most were acquired by or donat-ed to Norman Herrett himself years before the Herrett Center was locat-ed on the CSI campus. The displays will include stone tools, bronze dec-orations, textiles, lots of ceramics, ornaments and jewelry, baskets, mu-sical instruments, and death masks.

Hands-on exhibits including rain sticks, rattles, maracas, and other musical instruments will give vis-itors a feel for Inca culture. There will also be a building block sta-tion for kids. “The Inca and other

Peruvian cultures were renowned for their incredible skill in building walls with large stones that fit per-fectly together. We want to give kids a chance to match their skills with these ancient craftsmen on a smaller scale,” said Heck.

The premier of the exhibit from 7 to 9 p.m. on March 20 will include free refreshments. The Herrett Cen-ter is open Tuesdays through Satur-days. Admission to all the galleries is free of charge. For more infor-mation, please call the Herrett front desk at 732-6655 or go to www.csi.edu/Herrett. §§§§§
