- ELECTION!
- ELECTION! There is no wailing and gnashing of teeth at my place, nor am I going to move to Canada! But, I was very disappointed. I did feel better after President Trump’s press conference. Really liked the way he put down that fool representing CNN! ! more »

- Blue Wave?
- Ever try to skip a flat rock across a pond? If you did a good job you might cause a small ripple. If the liberals are lucky they might cause a small ripple. I really believe republicans will ride a huge wave. I think the people of the United States are fed up with all this protesting. Paybacks are hell. Pipe bombs! more »

- In the upcoming election
- In the upcoming election we have the opportunity to vote relative to an open position for District Judge in the Fifth District. I am writing to encourage support for David Gadd in that position. I have known David Gadd for many years since he started practicing and I am familiar with his excellent character relative to integrity, professionalism, the ability to communicate effectively, and his wisdom and knowledge of the law. He has spent his practice primarily focused on those precise areas of law over which he would preside as district judge. more »

- I am writing this letter to recommend David Gadd as District Judge for the Fifth Judicial District. I have known Dave for 15 years. We studied together in law school and had a carrel next to each other. As a student, Dave was exceptionally bright, graduating in the top 10% of his class. He made studying look so effortless. As an attorney in Twin Falls, I have worked with Dave and consulted with him on many civil and criminal cases over the last 10 years. He is extremely sharp in finding, interpreting and applying the law. more »

- Albion City citizens:
- Albion City citizens: On Tuesday Nov. 6th you will be asked to put a mark in history to place your vote on a ballot to recall the city mayor. Please support the citizens of this great valley who had the courage to stand up and put their names on a petition and now needs your VOTE to stand up and say you are tired of what is being done by your elected official. On the ballot, you will be asked to vote: FOR RECALLING or AGAINST RECALLING Sharon H. Wilmot, City of Albion MAYOR. We would like to make a few points on what this ballot says. On the ballot justification from Wilmot stating, "the utility bills have not increased in over 3 years- BPA did raise rates by .009, but the council has chosen to let the budget absorb those costs." This is not true. The September 2015 city council minutes proves otherwise. While Mayor Wilmot was in office, the meeting minutes state the city power rate increase was council approved for a 2.75% increase and in February 2016 was changed again. more »

- This is in response to Nile Maricle's "Sound Off"
- This is in response to Nile Maricle's "Sound Off" letter published on October 16, 2018. I am a registered Republican. When I read what he said about Judge Kavanaugh, I was deeply upset. His comment about "paid protesters", even though its a great story for reality TV or certain media organizations, it's simply not true. That story was debunked 15 minutes after it left the mouth of Hannity. It's easy to view things tinted a certain way when we view the world through colored lenses. I did that during the Regan years, and when we proudly elected H.W., only when the results of Iran-Contra finally came to light, my belief system started to spin. I took off the colored lenses and began to take a critical look at just how the political policies of the day were lining up with my views & my beliefs. The first year I could vote was for Richard Nixon. I'm not sorry or do I have voter remorse for that vote because after doing a research paper on Nixion I believed him to be a good man that loved this country, regardless of how it ended. Was he a crook? Probably. He never faced any "court" to determine if he was, so we will never really know, will we? Anyway, I digress. Was Judge Kavanaugh treated disgracefully? I for one don't believe he was. He was afforded an opportunity to respond to some, not all, of the allegations against him. What is a disgrace, is that the Trump administration never properly vetted him as a candidate, and refused to withdraw his nomination when forced the nation to go through what was really a terrible charade that didn't resolve anything except for those wearing colored lenses. There were 24 other extremely qualified candidates on the list handed to Trump that had zero baggage attached to them. He should have picked another for the good of the country. more »

- This letter goes out to the Whitney Murphy family. I too, am very frustrated at how our county officials have handled the investigation and prosecution of the murders of Whitney Murphy and Tiffany Streling. I wrote a critical letter to the Sound Off over 2 years ago, and was told to be patient and that the Sheriff was doing everything he could. Well, I'm here to tell you that the Sheriff and the Prosecutor have totally dropped the ball on these two cases. And unfortunately, they are safe in their jobs for the next two years. In both cases, it is obvious to everybody, who committed these crimes. The only people that can't figure it out, are the ones who we have entrusted and who have to power, to bring these violent perpetrators to justice. If your experiences are like mine. When you call in to ask about the progress on these cases, you are blown off. Calls aren't returned. I didn't know either one of these girls. I remember seeing Whitney around town and always thought, how nice she seemed. Neither one of them were killed by random strangers. The only recourse, we as the public have is to put pressure on our officials. If enough of us care enough to do this maybe we can force our incompetent pubic officials to do the job we pay them to do. Put the pressure on the officials we have the power to replace in two years. Sheriff Heward and DA Abernoth. Do you dang job or we will fire you. And to the Murphy family. I am sorry for your loss. And even though, I don't know you. I care and I support you.

Very nice sights, saw a young bull moose and a lot of does and fawns. If you are considered a senior citizen and you have a senior pass it’s 4 dollars a day; no water but nice outhouses. more »

- lbion community for the many things they do
- I would like to take a few moments to thank the people of the Albion community for the many things they do and how they will help each other. Individuals and their family of both those who live in and out of town contribute so much. I would like to take a minute and comment on several things I have noticed. Like the flower pots along the city road, of the approximately 15 people watering he pots about ¾ of them live outside of the city limits. Several times I have seen the Bristol’s and Steve Langer picking up the trash along the road coming into town. (Bristol’s live on the road but Steve lives half across the valley). And how about the Christmas program in the park? (the Brackenbury’s and some friends from the community spend a great deal of time bringing in the animals and setting it up, not to mention the FREE cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate.) And what about the Easter egg hunt in the park? Although it is held in the park it is mostly put on by members of the Albion Community as a whole. I have seen the community get together to help raise funds for the library and when Shawn’s son needed help, the community jumped in, and held a benefit to raise funds to help them. Oh, not to forget the 4th of July parade and program. (1 of the nicest around, my daughter brought her family from Salt Lake City to see it, the kids went home with a bucket of candy and her husband really liked the brisket from Piggy Sue BBQ, he had to pay for that, but the rest was provided by the community.) Let’s not forget how much ATC and the businesses help. Last fall Mr. Douglas and some helpers took firewood to a bunch of homes. Just a few days ago I saw Mr. Douglas (part on company time, and part his time) help Brian (our city worker) putting a water pipe together to get water to some homes. I have also seen him help the older people cleaning up yards and he and Rich Redman blowing out sprinkler lines for the community. I almost forgot how the community came together two years ago when we had the flood. People like Carey Leach and Pat Field and others who live way above the flood waters were knee deep in the creek throwing sand bags. And the “creek side” providing drinks to the workers. I know I have not included all the names of those that make this little valley special but you get the idea. Like they say, it takes a village to raise a child, I can see how it takes the whole community to support our city. Thanks to all, both in and out of the city, for all you do you are all awesome.

CassiaCounty also has a deep cesspool of our own. We are so used to being treated as nothing more than slaves that it takes us only a moment to realize that our leaders have once more failed us.

Because I care about my children and grandchildren, and I don’t want Idaho’s next generations to be crippled by debt. Ask yourself, if Medicaid is expanded: Who will pay for it? Where would the money come from? No matter how much we wish it was free, the funds to give "free" healthcare to thousands of able-bodied adults must come from someone. more »

In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it is illegal to request any money before delivering its service.
