Golden Eagle Radio needs your Votes!

Right smack dab in the center of our tiny town,
it ain't much to look at but it's full of heart.

  Golden Eagle Radio 97.5, located in Crouch, Idaho, has been selected as the only finalist to represent Idaho on the Tom’s of Maine “Fifty States for Good” program. Golden Eagle has the chance to win $50K in support of its radio project.

Rex at the helm of his dream.

Terry "Babe Boomer" Loyd and co-Mascot Jimmy were
at the center of the action during the Exergy Bike Tour.

Through a daily public vote at www.tomsofmaine.com or www.Facebook.com/TomsofMaine now through October 9, local residents can help bring this funding to Garden Valley’s local radio, with the simple (daily) click of a mouse. PUT UP A SIGN IN FRONT OF YOUR COMPUTER AND VOTE EVERY DAY!

Tom’s program seeks to uncover local nonprofit groups that address urgent community needs and engage volunteers to get the work done. Golden Eagle FM 97.5 does both.

Non-profits from each state were selected by an independent panel of judges, featuring actor and environmentalist Ian Somerhalder, Laura Burge of the social action network Care2.com, philanthropic leader and Huffington Post columnist Lisa M. Dietlin, and Sam Davidson, president of Cool People Care. The public vote will determine six winning organizations to share $150,000 in funding. The organization with the most public support will receive $50K in sponsorship funding, while five additional organizations will each receive $20K.

 “We are thrilled to shine a spotlight on our ‘50 States for Good’ finalists and their meaningful work,” said Susan Dewhirst, goodness programs manager at Tom’s of Maine. “We can’t wait to see the lasting impact of healthy, human and environmental goodness that will come from funding our winning organizations’ projects.”

Steamer Bill Harder, at his volunteer DJ job, is sounding
more professional every day. Watch out L.A.!
Call in your favorite tunes: 462-4350.

Rich Smith, who has been involved with Golden Eagle since founder Rex LeFevre started this quest, says he’s been working on the grant for months. “At first, I thought it was a grant that we could acquire through our merit—how much we will help the community,” says Smith, “so I am taken a bit aback. You might think this has more the look of a contest rather than a grant, and in some respects it is.

  “In addition to the information I sent them in Phase II, for Phase I, I sent a complete set of objectives for Garden Valley Communications Inc. and a resume of our board members. I also described exactly how our radio station will contribute to the health and welfare of the community, since this seems to be their key objective.”

Program Director (too), Babe Boomer is bringin' some
young energy to the station. Garden Valley High
student, Anthony Zang, is looking
forward to hosting a show
with his DJ friend, Miguel Bengoa.

  Smith included in the grant application the information that Garden Valley is a remote community, fifty-five miles into the mountains: “In 1998, a week of heavy rain and snow blocked all roads into town and power and telephone services were unavailable. Our low power FM radio station serves emergency and community needs, especially for our large percentage of retired persons. Funding will help to outfit our operating space with vital equipment.”

 

 

 

 

 

Rich Smith working hard to get the
Golden Eagle in the Air...and on
the air.

After recently being informed of the Facebook voting process, Smith wrote to Tom’s contact person, Holly Luka, explaining that he feels our small community is at a disadvantage with the Facebook voting but said, “We will have at it and do the best we can.”

  Phase III of the program begins with public voting. Supporters will be encouraged to vote from Monday, September 10, 2012 to Tuesday, October 9, 2012. Visitors can vote for one finalist organization once per day, not using more than one browser. If more than one browser is used to vote multiple times per day, or if any nonprofit encourages or employs this practice, votes and/or the nonprofit will be disqualified. At the completion of the final voting phase, the six projects with the highest vote totals will be declared as the selected projects to receive funding, as determined by the consumer vote.

  Tom’s of Maine is a leading natural products company focused on oral and personal care and sells high-quality toothpaste, mouthwash, dental floss, deodorant, bar soap, and body wash products. The company enjoys partnering with its consumers, vendors and community organizations to support lasting, positive change good for people and the planet.

 

 

 

 

 

Case Lot Sale at the Market

This is the week we say goodbye to Summer and we thank you for your support over the Summer season. You’ll notice over the next couple of weeks that we will be changing our products around as we downsize for Fall and Winter where needed, and increase where needed, such as our baking and soup section. All in preparation for the Fall and the Holidays. Thank you for your patience during this transition.

Other changes coming to the Market include new Fall/Winter hours beginning October 1^st. Starting on that day, we will be open from 7:30 am until 9pm Sun –Thu and open until 10pm on Fri and Sat.

This week, please enjoy the touches of Fall that are beginning to show up in our produce department, with the addition of pumpkins and squash. Other values include:

Local Green Bell Peppers 2 for $1

Red Bell Peppers 79 cents each

Broccoli 79 cents lb

Pineapple $1.09 lb

Variety Squash 89 cents lb

More assorted grocery items found on our 30 day ad are still on sale – Have you tried the Frontera fresh sauce mixes for Tacos or enchiladas? They are 2 for $4 through next week and sooooo good.

In our Deli, fresh baked pies are on the menu again and coming soon – a new Sandwich menu!

Finally, it’s that time of year again for our Case Lot Sale. Attached is an order form for you to use. The prices are as marked. Pay careful attention to what a “case” means in terms of quantity. Look in the size column for numbers ranging from 1 to 48 meaning a case will contain 1 or more items of the product. The three order date windows available for our Market are Monday, Oct 1 and Monday, Oct 8^th and Monday, Oct 15^th. Please return your form along with payment (add 6% sales tax) to our Customer Service Desk. Don’t forget to include good contact information for when the cases arrive or if we need to refund per out of stock.

Mountain Rendezvous: Bikers Rouse the Town!

Juke Daddys rockin' the Shame.

Out of Caldwell they ride, looking forward to good times in this mountain town. Lonnie Willis sits with friends in the Dirty Shame Cafe, an arm around a pretty lady and a smile on his be-whiskered face. The Juke Daddys, out of Idaho City, are hitting the room hard with their rockabilly blues and guys are clearing a space for the motorcycle ride-through.

L-R: Glen Rockwell and Lonnie Willis enjoying the festivities they
 helped organize. Debbie works for the Press Tribune, in Nampa.

 Willis hollers over the din, “We have a team of people to help to organize the Mountain Rendezvous—we’re an association for hot rods and motorcycles. We like to put together cool events. This is our Third Annual Rendezvous, where we get people into Garden Valley, have a lot of fun and the locals make some money.”

Fellow organizer, Glen Rockwell, shouts from the other side of the table, “We might be dirty bikers but we clean up after ourselves.” Willis agrees, “We’re your guests, we take care to do it right. We also get people here from Idaho City, Lowman and Northern Idaho. Our rides started in 1994. A lot of us are day riders. Basically, we’re a bunch of guys that get together and have a lot of fun. We’ve made some friends here, without making a bunch of enemies! The biker community needs to have good relations with other communities.”


Shame manager, Dana Hinson, never slows down.

  Willis says they encourage people in the town to help them: “I really enjoy the music and we try to get the bands to have some exposure. Some of the guys playing here this time are Last Man Standing, Steve Wall Band, and Desert Moon. The Dirty Shame is our major sponsor—the manager, Dana Hinson, really helps us.”



Marcie is always fun to party with.

The boyz line up to Roll the Keg.

Over at the Starlight Mountain Theatre campground, the Bike Rodeo is getting ready to start. Glen Rockwell says that typically, they plan a lot of silly games—a poker run or a tricycle drag race, where guys cut up the bikes and “do crazy things” to them.



Nikki probably doesn't need this bullhorn.

Today, the men are “Riding the Plank”. Not too many are brave enough to get out there. A few more attempt to “Push the Barrel”. This consists of nosing the darned aluminum beer keg along the grass and over the finish line. Nikki grabs the bullhorn, which she doesn’t seem to need, and hollers, “Ya mean there’s no one else? Ya friggin’ #*!X#*s, get on the bikes and get out here!”

  “Honey, I’m Home!” brings out the philanderer in the tough guys, so we see a lot of variety in how to jump out of a bedroom window. Nikki explains that they are being timed to get out, don an obnoxiously oversized, bright red robe, and cycle to the cone.



He raises the most dust in his peel out.

 

 

Catch the Hot Dog will be awhile coming, and it’s too hot to stick around but this is the one where the motorcyclist rides by and catches the dog in his mouth.

 

"This may not be the first time I've jumped out
of a woman's window!"

 Lonnie Willis loves this event and says, “The Mountain Rendezvous takes on a life of its own—I hope that between the different bands and people from out of town and out of state, they keep coming. We work hard to make it successful, so we have a good time.”  






The ladies have arrived!

This Fall, Be “Bear Aware”

Idaho Fish and Game

Evin Oneale

September 13, 2012

 

In preparation for denning, Idaho’s black bears are on the move, looking for any and all food sources that might help them gain weight. High calorie human foods are a major attractant, particularly if they are easy to obtain.

     

With that in mind, Fish and Game officials are urging hunters and other outdoor recreationists, together with homeowners who live in more rural settings, to use common sense and be “bear aware.”

     

“Statewide drought and another prolonged fire season have resulted in the loss of natural bear foods in many areas,” Fish and Game conservation officer Matt O’Connell said. “As such, we’ve seen an uptick in the number of bear sightings in and around rural residential areas and other places where human foods are present, such as campgrounds.”

     

A cooler full of groceries left on a picnic table, unsecured garbage at a residence, or food stored in a hunting camp wall tent are attractive, easy marks for a hungry bear. “All bears are opportunists; their whole life revolves around food,” Fish and Game conservation educator Evin Oneale noted. “They remember every single location where they receive a food reward, and if they get one from your camp or residence, they will be back for more.”

That spells trouble for everyone, particularly the bear.

     

“The pattern is always the same,” O’Connell observed. “A food reward only encourages the bear to return, where it becomes more bold and aggressive as it searches out additional food. The situation can quickly deteriorate into an issue of human safety.”

     

Oneale agrees. “The old adage, ‘A Fed Bear is a Dead Bear’ isn’t just a catchy slogan, it’s reality,” he commented. “You can’t simply relocate a bear that has learned bad habits; it will only cause the same trouble in its new location. So too often, because of irresponsible human behavior, it is the bear that pays the price with its life.”

     

The good news is, this sad scenario is completely avoidable. “Common sense in bear country is really all that’s needed,” O’Connell said. “Securing food, garbage and anything else that a bear might consider food is the answer. If a bear does not receive a food reward, it will move on.”

Homeowners, campers and hunters can help keep bears wild and avoid costly property damage themselves by taking the following simple precautions:

 

- Bears like pet food as much as your dog or cat. Keep this food secured as you do your own, and not in a bowl outdoors;

- Avoid filling bird feeders until wintertime;

- Keep garbage in a secure location and place it at the curb only on the morning of pick up;

- When selecting a campsite, look for recent signs of bear activity. If you see them, look for an alternative campsite;

- Keep your camp clean; cook and prepare food well away from your sleeping area;

- Do not store food in your tent;

- Hang your food away from your sleeping area in a bag at least 10 feet off the ground and at least four feet from the nearest trunk. Alternatively, use commercially available bear-resistant containers and locate them away from your sleeping area;

- Do not store personal hygiene products (toothpaste, deodorant, etc.) in your tent; secure these items with your food;

- Do not bury or throw garbage into the nearby woods. Burn all combustible garbage thoroughly and secure the remainder with your food;

- Hang harvested animals at least 10 feet off of the ground and at least four feet from the nearest tree trunk. A meat pole slung between two trees is a good option;

- If you encounter a persistent and/or aggressive bear, contact your local Fish and Game office with the details.

Remember that unpleasant experiences with bears are mostly avoidable. Taking some simple, preventive measures and using good old fashioned common sense will go a long way towards minimizing bear conflicts as you get out and about this fall.

Dream Big Snakes at GV Library!

The grand finale for the summer reading program at the Garden Valley Library brought in fire trucks and ambulances, face painting, a fishing booth, and the Reptile Adventure Petting Zoo.

Tyler Messina, of Meridian, has been seen on television for years since he began taking in rescue creatures as a child, after he had to put his dog to sleep. Since then, he’s been taken with reptiles.

 

Diesel splashes with engine-like ferocity.

  His non-profit rescue menagerie has over seventy lizards, turtles, snakes and frogs--and spiders.



Messina remarks, “The children don’t bother them, as they’re always around and about people.”

  

Children’s librarian, Karen Benedict, says that the youngsters get coins for time spent reading. She marvels at one child—“He’s read fifty-four hours in eight weeks. I cannot wait to find out the total for all of them. I’m so excited!”

 After everyone had eaten pizza at the picnic tables outside, the reptiles were the last to go. Teen helpers, Emily Goetsch and Aspen Foote, had to finally relinquish Baby, the Boa Constrictor and Pop, the Corn Snake.
