But before the temperatures dropped Friday morning, a strong storm cell moved through the area bringing with it high winds, hail and heavy rains. Many residents of the county woke up Friday morning to find their garbage cans blown to the neighbors yard or their neigh- bors’ cans in their yards, but many woke to find trees blown down on farm equipment, on vehicles and on their homes. A huge Poplar tree nearly 75 years old damaged a cement ditch at the Larry and Colleen Bahem residence on Graveyard Point Road. Colleen said she thought a tornado could have gone through the area due to blowing over a large “hay-derrick” on the couple’s property. Colleen said the machine has set on the property for many years and has never blown over in past storms. Just down the road at the Donna and Paul Fischer farm, three cottonwood trees were blown over on the couple’s combine. Paul said he was unsure Friday morning how much damage had been done to the machine, but he said he recently took the insurance coverage off of the combine due to it not being used. On Gully Road near Homedale, George Hyer woke to find a tree over the bed of his pickup. Hyer had the vehicle parked at Wendell Hyer’s home when a tree was blown down during the night causing damage to the bed of the pickup. A large tree toppled onto a home on Washington and 3rd Street in Homedale causing damage, but Homedale Police Chief Jeff Eidemiller said no one was injured in the home. The National Weather Service issued many sever weather A tree damages a home on Third and Washington in Homedale. alerts throughout the day in Idaho and as of 9 a.m. Friday morning, five had been issued for Owyhee County alone. A flash flood watch was issued by the weather service at 8:39 a.m. for several counties in southern Idaho and in eastern Oregon. It stated that the watch would be in effect until 8:45 p.m. Friday evening. “A flash flood watch means that flash flooding is possible within the watch area,” the weather service stated. “People in the watch area are advised to be alert for rapidly rising waters in creek beds and even typically dry gulches. “A very moist weather system will move north today across eastern Oregon and southwest Idaho. Thunderstorms with heavy rain are expected, which pose a threat of flash flooding.” At 9:45 a.m. a severe thunderstorm warning continued for Owyhee, Ada and Elmore Counties until 10 a.m. The statement released from the weather service stated that Doppler weather radar continued to indicate a severe thunderstorm between Murphy and Grand View moving northeast at 40 miles per hour. It stated that large hail, high winds and heavy rainfall were expected. The severe thunderstorm watch was then upgraded to 2 p.m. Friday afternoon. -CB

A nearly 75 year old popular tree fell at the home of Larry and Colleen Bahem during the storm causing damage to a cement ditch. Alan Bahem said the pickup shown was damaged in a previous accident. STAYSTAY COOL!COOL!

Rory Thompson, Jacob DeRuyter and Ryan Sandy are stu- dents at St. Paul’s School in Nampa and chose to build the park a skate ramp for the growing skateboard park in Marsing. Jack Thompson, supervisor over the donation, said the boys decided to build the ramp for the Marsing kids as part of a public service project. He said they spent nearly a month working on the project, which is four foot by 12 foot. The ramp is made from wood and cost the boys nearly $400. Jack said the boys’ parents helped pay for the costs of the ramp. Marsing Mayor Faye Pfrimmer attended the donation and said she was deeply grateful to the boys for their donation. “Rory spends a lot of time over here with his friend Jacob and he said that Marsing needed a ramp, so they decided to build it,” Jack said. The ramp is located at the east end of the skate park.

An Owyhee County Sheriff’s Deputy attempted to stop a vehicle on Highway 95 Saturday morning for possibly driving under the influence. But the stop took a deadly turn when the driver of the vehicle displayed a gun and took the officer on a short pursuit, which ended in the woman killing herself. Sheriff Gary Aman said Deputy Don Collingwood initiated the stop on Highway 95 near Buntrock Road and approached the Your driver of the vehicle, Katherine Malec, 45 of Weiser.

Page 8 Wednesday, June 4, 2003 Photos of school’s end Public safety by Homedale Police Officer Mike Spagnola Just the facts . . . I would like to expand on an article written a few weeks ago that addressed unauthorized vehicles parked within the City limits. The article spoke about vehicles parked illegally according to Homedale City Ordinance #318. The City defines illegal vehicles as follows: “...long term presence of inoperative, wrecked, partially dismantled, junked and unregistered...” This definition can be found in Homedale City Municipal Code Book under Ordinance #318 section two, and section three (A), (B) and (C)). To make the legalese wording easier to understand, I will explain what the City is asking and how to bring any vehicles on your property into compliance. An inoperative vehicle is one that is missing any part that is essential for its safe and legal operation or parts that are broken of defective. This would include flat or missing tires, broken windshields, side or rear view mirrors or head/tail lights. Now, if a citizen is obviously working on getting a vehicle in running Homedale High School condition, the vehicle will not be tagged for removal providing that Keith Ingersoll, Mr. Stoka, Kelsi Haylett, Ashley Williams, the vehicle is showing signs of improvement within a reasonable Sonjia Sperver, Christine Tiddens, Liz Villanueva and Caitlin seniors Kelly Roberts and amount of time. Vehicles that are being stored for future restoration Parker play blackjack during the Homedale High School all Brandon Hathhorn share a need to be completely covered by a tarp or concealed from public night graduation party. moment before graduation. view. The City defines areas where illegal vehicles are parked as “any street, alley or private driveway or yard that is not screened off with privacy fencing so as to block it from public view.” A vehicle parked in violation of City Ordinance #318 will be marked for removal. If the vehicle is not removed by the owner or brought into compliance with the ordinance within seven days, it will be removed by the City of Homedale and the owner could be charged for its removal, storage and disposal. To avoid having such a vehicle removed by the city, property owners should take the following steps: If the vehicle is unregistered, get new plates and tags. Repair or replace flat or missing tires. Clean up any broken glass and remove any standing water. Cover or conceal from view any vehicle that is being stored. Simply put, make your property safe and legal by bringing these mentioned vehicles into compliance. The reason for this ordinance is simple. Inoperative, wrecked, discarded or partially dismantled vehicles pose a health and safety Homedale graduates Sandy risk to the public. Broken glass, rusted iron, standing water and Garcia, Ben Renteria and potential for nesting and breeding of vermin are obvious hazards. Also community pride should play a part in removing or repairing Jennifer Anzaldua, Kelsi Haylett, Andrew Miller, Tyler McRae, Jennifer Anzaldua proudly walk during the introductions these types of vehicles.

Do you have any tips for table manners or etiquette? Lewiston, Idaho It’s hard to concentrate on what’s being said around the table when you’re worried about which water glass is yours. Knowing basic table manners and etiquette will calm your jitters and help you present a professional image in business entertainment settings. These tips will get you off to a good start: If you’re in charge of introductions, start with the name of the person with the highest rank (your client). For example, “Ms. Smith, I’d like you to meet John Doe.” If you’re around a table, a handshake may not be possible, but do stand when introduced. Your napkin should be placed in your lap as soon as you sit down. As you leave, place it loosely folded next to your plate. Your water glass is always to your right; your bread-and-butter plate is to your left. Order food that’s easy to eat. Spaghetti can be a challenge, and salad requires a lot of munching.
