Nampa Police seek info about crash By IDAHO PRESS-TRIBUNE STAFF newsroom@idahopress.com

STATE OF IDAHO Declared in 1890

{

NAMPA — Police are investigating a hit-and-run crash in Nampa that left one person seriously injured Saturday night. The crash happened in the area of 12th Avenue Road and E. Sherman Avenue at 7:45 p.m. Saturday, according to Nampa Police. A scooter was traveling southbound on 12th when a white passenger car made a left turn in front of the scooter, resulting in the crash, police said.

Declared in 1863

Why is Idaho shaped the way it is? This goes back to a late-night Congressional decision on March 3, 1863. In the midst of a costly Civil War, the federal government sought a way to secure the gold resources from recent discoveries in what became Idaho. The 37th Congress knew they would create a new territory to encompass those resources, but they didn’t know what shape it would take. The House Committee on Territories asked John Mullan, an Army captain, to assist them in creating boundaries for the new territory. Mullan’s map showed the panhandle of what became Idaho, as well as western Montana, as being part of Washington Territory, with the remainder of Idaho in a new territory.

Gage Anderson isn’t exactly sure what he’ll do after high school and college, but he knows he wants to make a change. The Columbia High Gage Anderson School senior describes himself as a constitutional advocate, and is sometimes frustrated by current-day politics. “Nothing really gets done anymore,” Anderson said. With a degree in political science, likely from Boise State University, he intends to enter the political arena in some way. But even as a high school senior, Anderson works to change regularly. He is part of the mentor program at CHS and a member of the Boise Skateboard Association. He said the mentor program helps new students acclimate to changes associated with new schools, and also volunteers at the school. The group throws parties for new students, or any others that might struggle at times at the high school. For his efforts, he was presented the Top Achievement Award by the counseling center at CHS. “I try to be a good influence at my school,” he said. Not only a good influence, Anderson boasts a 3.9 cumulative GPA and was named a Capital Scholar by BSU. His duties with the Boise Skateboard Association have him working on the Rhodes Skateboard Project, an effort to revitalize the park below the Connector in Boise. Anderson’s senior project was to create a skate competition for the spring. Anderson, who is a sponsored skateboarder by Newt and Harold’s, is coordinating the project and contacted area shops to help sponsor the contest and donate prizes.

BOISE — A federal judge has ruled that local Idaho governments can’t charge developers annexation fees greater than the actual cost of annexing the land. The Idaho Business Review reports that U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Jim J. Pappas filed the 71-page decision in December. The case stems from a challenge filed by Mountain West Bank and a development called Old Cutters in central Idaho against the city of Hailey. Hailey charged $3.8 million in annexation fees though a study found the annexation would cost only $788,000. Pappas ruled that Hailey

used powers it had not been granted in Idaho when it created the contract. The city “acted in excess of its statutory authority,” Pappas wrote. Hailey is appealing the decision to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. “I think it’s an important decision,” said Wyatt Johnson, a Boise real estate attorney. “It’s persuasive, but it’s certainly not insurmountable. What this federal law is, is it becomes persuasive authority.” But he said only an Idaho Supreme Court decision would set a precedent outlawing overcharging annexation fees. Pappas, in his decision, tried to anticipate an Idaho Supreme Court decision on the matter. Many cities charge annexation

fees. Johnson said that when development picks up again, cities might return to aggressively charging annexation fees. Erin Clark, an Old Cutters attorney, said the city of Hailey asked for more than most other jurisdictions, but it wasn’t unusual in trying to bring in money from an annexation. He said the city continued to add on projects with annexation money, including a new library, snow storage facility and police station. “It just kept going on and on and on,” Clark said. “I think that in this case the city of Hailey went far above what other cities have done. But most times cities do gouge a little.”

Woman sues Costco over life insurance money THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOISE — A woman has filed a lawsuit against a northern Idaho Costco contending that the company should pay out the life insurance policy of her brother, a former Costco employee who died two years after being fired.

Costco has filed a request that the lawsuit be dismissed, contending that Grimmer has no standing to challenge her brother’s termination. After being fired, Curtis stopped paying his life insurance policy in January 2012, and died the following September. Grimmer was the sole beneficiary.

Idaho woman fights new vexatious litigation rule By REBECCA BOONE The Associated Press

BOISE — A woman who has already been banned from filing frivolous lawsuits in several state and federal courts is challenging a new Idaho law designed to staunch so-called vexatious litigation. Holli Lundahl Telford has already been designated a vexatious litigant by the states of Utah, California, Montana, Idaho’s federal court, the 9th and 10th U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeals and the U.S. Supreme Court, according to court records.

In 2011, a judge in eastern Idaho made the same call — and again, Telford is fighting the designation. But this time she’s challenging a rule that’s never been tested by the Idaho Supreme Court, one designed to help judges walk the line between protecting a person’s right to the courts while keeping them from creating a logjam of frivolous court filings. “The upshot of this appeal is an attack on Idaho Court Administrative Rule 59,” Telford told the Idaho Supreme Court justices during arguments earlier this month, with all the aplomb of someone

well-versed in courtroom procedure. “There were seven issues presented in the appeal: First, failure to disqualify without cause ...” Administrative Rule 59 was adopted in April 2011, just a few months before 6th District Judge David Nye labeled Telford as a vexatious litigator. But nuisance lawsuits are not an uncommon problem for the court system, and judges have — albeit rarely — restricted the access afforded some residents since at least the early 1980s. The rule was created to spell out the process of making that designation.

“It’s not a matter of these actions being annoying or inconvenient to the court. It’s the problem of really using the court’s resources in such a way that it impairs the ability to move other cases along so other people can get their cases decided in a timely fashion,” said Michael Henderson, legal counsel for the Idaho Supreme Court. “It’s just a matter of protecting other people’s access to the courts, so the courts aren’t tied up with just one person’s matter.” It’s not something to take lightly, said Ritchie Eppink, senior legal counsel for the American Civil

The House of Representatives on Feb. 12, 1863 (Lincoln’s 54th birthday) passed a bill showing Idaho and Washington with those boundaries. Meanwhile, Washington’s territorial delegate to Congress, William Wallace drew up a different map for the Senate, the eastern boundary for Washington as it exists today, and had the panhandle as part of Idaho. But on March 4, 1863, there really was no “panhandle,” for Idaho at that time included all of Idaho, all of Montana, and most of Wyoming, the nation’s largest territory. Because of the gold rush in Montana, the legislature made an appeal to Congress to shrink the size of Idaho. Congress in 1864 created the new territory of Montana and ruled that the northeastern border between Idaho and Montana would run along the crest of the Bitterroot range, ensuring that Montana had sufficient population, not to mention treasure, to survive. That is how the panhandle was carved. In 1868 Congress created Wyoming. When Congress created Wyoming, they made sure it was as rectangular as possible; hence the nearly straight north/south line for Idaho’s southeastern border.

tains,” or “sun over the mountains,” or various iterations. Congress in that late night of March 3, 1863 when it determined Idaho’s shape also determined its name. According to one Oregon senator who spoke on the floor during discussions of the Idaho bill, the new territory should be named Idaho, which he claimed was an Indian word for “gem of the mountains.” That was also a fabrication. The Idaho name stuck, though its origins remain very hazy. But the nickname Gem of the Mountains obviously makes sense because of Idaho’s diverse mineral wealth.

Why did the capital move to Boise?

President Lincoln appointed William Wallace to be territorial governor on March 10, 1863. The only part of Idaho that Wallace knew about was the panhandle. In 1861, Lewiston was a boisterous mining supply town. As Wallace made his way back west in 1863 to become governor, the only Idaho city he knew anything about was Lewiston. It made sense for him to name it the capital. When he arrived in Lewiston in July 1863, he found it a much smaller community than he had left two years earlier; population had flooded south. In the first territorial legislature in the winter of 1863, representatives from the Boise Basin made a pitch to move the capital to be nearer the territory’s population base. They made the same appeal in the second territorial legislature in 1864, Why is Idaho called The Gem State? and it passed. Idaho is a fabricated word.

Committee approves extraheavy trucks on Idaho roads THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOISE — An Idaho Senate committee has approved legislation allowing extra-heavy trucks on the state’s roads. The Spokesman-Review reports the Senate Transportation Committee approved the proposal on a 5-4 vote on Thursday. The bill would allow trucks up to 129,000 pounds anywhere the roads can handle them, including mountainous northern Idaho. The current limit is 105,500 pounds. The bill excludes 35 southern Idaho routes that are part of a 10-year-pilot project where heavier tractor-trailers are allowed already. The committee also voted unanimously on another bill to make the southern Idaho pilot project permanent. Both bills now move to the full Senate. Lawmakers approved the bill despite concerns that northern Idaho roads

might have problems with the heavier loads, and that perhaps a pilot project such as the one in southern Idaho might be in order. “I don’t think we have time to wait and lay out a pilot project, in the light of the closing of mills and what few mills are left up there,” said Sen. Bob Nonini, R-Coeur d’Alene. The Idaho Forest Group in Coeur d’Alene proposed the bill. “Transportation costs are extremely important to us,” said Matt Van Vleet, vice president for communication and public affairs for Clearwater Paper Corp. in Lewiston. He said bigger loads could mean saving money for Clearwater Paper. But Dover Mayor Randy Curless told the committee that extra-heavy trucks will damage roads his city might not be able to afford to fix.

Expectant parents die in New York crash; infant survives

NEW YORK (AP) — A pregnant young woman who was feeling ill was headed to the hospital with her husband early Sunday when the car they were riding in was struck in a hit and run, killing them both, but their baby boy survived and was born prematurely, authorities and a relative said. The driver of a BMW slammed into the livery car carrying Nachman and Raizy Glauber, both 21, at an intersection in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, said Isaac Abraham, a neighbor of Raizy Glauber’s parents who lives two blocks from the scene of the crash. The engine of the livery car ended up in the backseat, where the pregnant woman was sitting before she was ejected, Abraham said. Her body landed under a parked tractor-trailer, said witnesses who came to the scene after the crash. Nachman Glauber was pinned in the car, and emergency workers had to cut off the roof to get him out, witnesses said.

Scientists say Mississippi baby born with HIV apparently cured

WASHINGTON (AP) — A baby born with the virus that causes AIDS appears to have been cured, scientists announced Sunday, describing the case of a child from Mississippi who’s now 2 1/2 and has been off medication for about a year with no signs of infection. There’s no guarantee the child will remain healthy, although sophisticated testing uncovered just traces of the virus’ genetic material still lingering. If so, it would mark only the world’s second reported cure. Specialists say Sunday’s announcement, at a major AIDS meeting in Atlanta, offers promising clues for efforts to eliminate HIV infection in children, especially in AIDS-plagued African countries where too many babies are born with the virus. “You could call this about as close to a cure, if not a cure, that we’ve seen,” Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health, who is familiar with the findings, told The Associated Press.

Hotels, airport: No effect from Las Vegas taxicab driver strike

LAS VEGAS (AP) — More than 1,000 drivers at Las Vegas’ second-largest taxicab company walked off their jobs Sunday, but the strike apparently caused no immediate major problems for visitors to the major tourist destination. The strike by drivers at Yellow-Checker-Star Transportation had no apparent impact at MGM Resorts International’s 10 major resorts on the Las Vegas Strip, company spokeswoman Yvette Monet said. The strike also had no impact on movement of people through McCarran International Airport, one of the nation’s busiest airports, said spokesman Chris Jones. “There’s going to be lines for taxis, but that’s a normal thing, strike or no strike,” he said. “We haven’t seen anything that suggests something beyond the usual.” The strike came during one of the city’s busiest times, with fans taking in four major college basketball tournaments and bettors flocking to sports books during March Madness. In 2012, March topped all other months in tourism, with 3.5 million visitors coming in. Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority spokesman Jeremy Handel declined to comment and referred queries about the strike’s impact to the resorts. C M Y K

SEFFNER, Fla. — Crews on Sunday razed more than half of the Tampa-area home perched over a huge sinkhole that swallowed a man three days ago, managing to salvage some keepsakes for family members who lived there. Jeremy Bush, 35, tried to save his brother, Jeff, when the earth opened up and swallowed him Thursday night. On Sunday morning, Bush and relatives prayed with a pastor as the home — where he lived with his girlfriend, Rachel Wicker; their daughter, Hannah, 2; and others — was demolished and waited for firefighters to salvage anything possible from inside. Early Sunday morning, just be-

“

fore the demolition began, Bush and an unidentified woman knelt and prayed at the mailbox in front of the home, owned by Leland Wicker, Rachel’s grandfather, since the 1970s. After praying, Bush and the woman walked across the street to a neighbor’s lawn to watch the demolition. The operator of the heavy equipment worked gingerly, first taking off a front wall. Family belongings were scooped onto the lawn gently in hopes of salvaging parts of the family’s 40-year history in the home. As of Sunday afternoon — when demolition had stopped for the day and only a few walls of the home remained — a Bible, family photos, a jewelry box and a pink teddy bear for Hannah were among the items

saved. Firefighters also were able to pick out the purse of one of the women in the home. Cheers went up from family, friends and neighbors each time something valuable was salvaged. Wanda Carter, the daughter of Leland Wicker, cradled the large family Bible in her arms. She said her mother and father had stored baptism certificates, cards and photos between the pages of that Bible over the years. “It means that God is still in control, and He knew we needed this for closure,” she said, crying. Carter said she spent from age 11 to 20 in the home, and she had to close her eyes as the home was knocked down. “Thank you for all of the memories and life it gave us,” she said.

We will never give up or give in.” U.S. REP. JOHN LEWIS, D-Ga.

Biden leads re-enactment of voting rights march By PHILLIP RAWLS The Associated Press

SELMA, Ala. (AP) — The vice president and black leaders commemorating a famous civil rights march on Sunday said efforts to diminish the impact of African-Americans’ votes haven’t stopped in the years since the 1965 Voting Rights Act added millions to Southern voter rolls. More than 5,000 people followed Vice President Joe Biden and U.S. Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma’s annual Bridge Crossing Jubilee. The event commemorates the “Bloody Sunday” beating of voting rights marchers — including a

young Lewis — by state troopers as they began a march to Montgomery in March 1965. The 50-mile march prompted Congress to pass the Voting Rights Act that struck down impediments to voting by AfricanAmericans and ended all-white rule in the South. Biden, the first sitting vice president to participate in the annual reenactment, said nothing shaped his consciousness more than watching TV footage of the beatings. “We saw in stark relief the rank hatred, discrimination and violence that still existed in large parts of the nation,” he said. Biden said marchers “broke the

back of the forces of evil,” but that challenges to voting rights continue today with restrictions on early voting and voter registration drives and enactment of voter ID laws where no voter fraud has been shown. “We will never give up or give in,” Lewis told marchers. Jesse Jackson said Sunday’s event had a sense of urgency because the U.S. Supreme Court heard a request Wednesday by a mostly white Alabama county to strike down a key portion of the Voting Rights Act. “We’ve had the right to vote 48 years, but they’ve never stopping trying to diminish the impact of the votes,” Jackson said.

Taxidermist preserves man’s best friend SLATER, Mo. (AP) — Growing up on the family farm, Anthony Eddy learned early on not to get too attached to animals, including household pets. His devoted customers are a different story. Pet lovers across the country count on the Saline County taxidermist to faithfully preserve Brutus, Fluffy and other beloved companions for posterity. Even if it means shelling out thousands of dollars and waiting more than a year for the pets’ return. “They’re very distraught, because their child has died. For most people, this animal is their life,” said Lessie “Les” Thurman Calvert, Eddy’s office manager. “Some are kind of eccentric. But most of them are just like you and me. They don’t want to bury or cremate them. They can’t stand

the thought. ... It helps them feel better about the loss.” The front showroom of Eddy’s Wildlife Studio in downtown Slater is a testament to pet owners’ perseverance. Lifelike dogs and cats of all sizes are scattered along the floor, from a perky-looking Brittany spaniel to a regal Persian cat, a lone iguana and the stray cockatiel or two. Departed pets of all persuasions spend up to one year in hulking, freeze-dry metal drums before they are painstakingly preserved and returned to their owners. Eddy said his business is one of the few in the country to specialize in pet taxidermy and has a twomonth waiting list.

Cheers & Jeers Cheers to the person who recently found $75 in the Nampa Costco and was honest enough to turn it in. Thank you so much. You were the answer to my prayers.

Jeers to the United States Postal Service for trying to sue Lance Armstrong. Editor’s note: The United States Justice Department joined a lawsuit against Armstrong claiming that he defrauded the government — including the Postal Service — by concealing his use of performance-enhancing drugs, which would be in violation of his contract with the Postal Service. USPS was one of Armstrong’s sponsors. Cheers to the Marsing boys varsity and JV basketball teams and their coaches. The program has made amazing progress in the last few years under the leadership of J.W. Chadez and Lamon Loucks. A couple of years ago the JV B team would have been cut if the coaches had not volunteered to split the 5:30 a.m. practices and games with no compensation. They have donated time and their own money for uniforms and gym improvements. They have treated the players at their own homes with breakfasts, lunches and barbecues. The kids have played hard for their school and coaches. The JV A and B teams won the championships for the second year in a row, and the varsity was just six points from making it to state for the first time in many years. We love and appreciate all you guys! Keep up the good work! Cheers to the hundreds of organizations and thousands of individuals who supported United Way of Treasure Valley throughout its recent Community Impact Campaign. The United Way is rapidly multiplying its impact through evidencebased decision-making and collaborative community-wide projects, and none of it would be possible without widespread support. These efforts are helping engage and mobilize our communities to provide opportunities to succeed in measurable, meaningful ways that directly impact all of us. Your involvement makes a difference, and your efforts are appreciated! — Julie Taylor, CEO, West Valley Medical Center and co-chair, United Way Treasure Valley Community Impact Campaign Cheers: Thanks so much to the lady

who helped our granddaughter get her car back on the road after sliding off in a recent snowstorm. She even followed her to our street to make sure she made it safely here. We are very grateful for her help and thoughtfulness.

Jeers to the person who sent the jeers

about a dog being hit, saying she had to be lying there “quite some time.” My question is, where were you? I believe you should have some responsibility as to the welfare of your “beloved” pet, since she “laid there for quite some time.” What if this had been your child? Pets and children aren’t aware of the dangers that belie them, so we, as responsible adults, need to assume the responsibility to assure their safety. Accidents don’t happen; they are caused by someone’s carelessness! I’m sorry you lost your pet, and I’m sure you did love her, but please don’t blame the person who hit her for what happened. Maybe they had someplace to be at a particular time and just didn’t have the time to try to save your dog or try to find her owners.

Cheers: There aren’t appropriate words to describe the feelings of watching your house and everything you own burn. The feelings of gratitude that your family is safe, that your animals are safe, that your community has a great fire and rescue department. It’s all very overwhelming, trying to absorb so many emotions in a fragment of time in the midst of smoke, ash and flashing lights. The weeks that follow aren’t any easier to bear, but the gratitude and appreciation for all that we do have grows exponentially. The greatest emotion we have felt has been that of deep and sincere appreciation for our family, friends and community. Thank you! Those words just don’t seem sufficient for the immense gratitude we feel and want to extend — Shane, Tessa, Zoie and Zane Steinhaus. Our extended family also extends their gratitude to all who so willingly and generously gave of their time, finances and resources.

HOT-BUTTON ISSUES

This is a short list of some hot-button issues. Because of the controversy surrounding them, we will accept only signed letters to the editor — not cheers or jeers — on the following issues: n English vs. Spanish language n Governmental agency decisions n Planning and zoning issues n Immigration issues n Charter schools n Religion n Elections n Political issues n Personnel issues n Gay marriage n Roundabouts abuses power to hurt one child for three years. Because of your favoritism tactics, you have hurt the very fabric of your team, allowing only your friends and family members’ kids to high positions only. You have hired people who will not challenge you but say “yes,” then you will allow their child to play. Shame on you and your athletic director. I am not related to this child but care!

Jeers to the long, blah, blah, blah story from a bank employee using the excuse of employee/customer security being the reason why banks and businesses cannot provide public bathrooms. Hogwash! My bank of over 10 years has always had restrooms at the front entrance, clean, no problems. It is wonderful! If any business cannot provide public bathrooms or if you have to leave to go find one somewhere else, do not ever go back or give them any of your business. Jeers to the four drivers in their cars who would not stop for the 7-to-9-year-old boy on his bike in the crosswalk at 10 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 24 on 12th Avenue at Paul’s Market. Where are the police crosswalk stings when you need them? How could you not see him? As the weather gets nicer, more people are out on the crosswalks. Do not be blind and pay attention. Cheers to Panda Express crew and visitors. On Feb. 11 I forgot my purse with credit cards, cash and important automatic opener. I went back Feb. 12 to find everything intact. We live in a great city with lots of wonderful, honest people. Thank you. Jeers: I read on Page 3 of Wednesday’s paper about a new billboard going up in Caldwell. We tell people they shouldn’t talk on cell phones or send text messages when they drive. Well, if people are looking up at billboard messages instead of on the road, how can they be driving safely? Cheers and Jeers: Jeers to people who don’t silence their cell phones when they are at the library, and jeers to libraries that don’t enforce cell phone-free policies. Cheers to libraries that have good, reliable Internet service. Cheers to people who show good manners when they visit the library. Jeers to libraries that don’t have adequate seating. As a disabled elderly person, I need a place to sit when I’m in pain and feel like I can’t take another step. Cheers to the LDS church in Marsing. I am not a member of that church, but they are a real good neighbor. Last week when a storm blew through Marsing, two trees were blown down in the church yard and one tree in my yard. Members of the church cut up and cleared their trees immediately, then came to my home and cut up and cleared my tree. I needed help and they helped me. God bless the men and women who gave their time to help me, their neighbor — Jack Muldoon.

Cheers to a great student! It has been my pleasure to have Rachel Wood in art for the past three years. To say she has artistic talent is an understatement. However, that is only part of the reason she has been such a delight. In the nine years I have been teaching, I have never had a student like Rachel. Every single day she is in class she does not leave the room without thanking me. This simple act of kindness means more to me than I can say. There are days as a teacher that you feel depleted of energy, defeated, and question your methods of teaching. However, that one small voice I hear when Rachel leaves the room — “Thank you, Mrs. Sickels” — always makes me smile, breathe more easily, and realize how much I love this job. When I have had the privilege of having someone assist me in any way, I will remember to say Jeers to the varsity high school coach who “thank you.” It does make a difference! —‑—‑—

Would you like to hand out a Cheers or Jeers? Send it to Managing Editor Vickie Holbrook, P.O. Box 9399, Nampa, ID 83652; fax it to 467-9562; email it to op-ed@idahopress.com; or call 4658115.

Legislature ignores education message voters sent

Food stamp program requires real reform to help people

If legislators don’t want to represent his or her constituents, shouldn’t they resign? That’s the question that has to be asked about the reintroduction in the Legislature of some of the education provisions that were soundly rejected by the voters in November. LARRY GRANT In 2011, after mostly ignoring public input, the Legislature passed a series of bills that were supposed to reform education in Idaho. Proposed primarily by State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Luna, the legislation that became known as the Luna Laws dealt with teachers’ contracts, performance pay and technology in the classroom. In response, an opposition group managed to get three referendums on the 2011 general election ballot to repeal the changes enacted by the Legislature. The referendums passed by overwhelming majorities and the Luna Laws were repealed. After the election, Gov. Butch Otter said we should take the next two years to consider what should be done to improve education in Idaho, inviting all stakeholders and interested parties to participate. And he set up an education task force to do it. But what was the response of the current Legislature? They promptly introduced legislation that would reenact some of the same provisions that were repealed by the voters and, in addition, are considering whether to make it harder to get a referendum on the ballot in the future. The primary focus of the current set of bills in the Legislature is based on Senate Bill S1108 passed by the Legislature in 2011. That bill amended and changed a number of laws but was primarily directed at limiting teachers’ contracts to one year and limiting negotiations on those contracts to salary and benefits only. S1108 became the subject of the referendum that was designated on the 2012 ballot as Proposition 1. Just over 57 percent of the voters, over 370,000 statewide, cast their ballots in favor of Proposition 1, thereby repealing S1108 by a substantial majority. Dissatisfied with the vote, legislators have now introduced a number of bills that are either identical to some of the provisions of S1108 or have the same effect, such as House Bill 164 and Senate bills 1095 and 1096. Even more dissatisfied that those pesky voters had actually stood up to the Legislature’s heavy-handedness, there is now a bill pending that would make getting a referendum on the ballot more difficult by requiring not only a certain number of signatures but also that they be spread out over at least a set number of counties across the state. Thus, in the view of the Legislature, we cannot let voters decide things the Legislature feels they understand better than the voters. That, of course, is not democracy. It’s paternalism. This seems strange, though, because I was under the impression that many of our state legislators don’t like having the government tell people what to do. I am, of course, obviously wrong and need to go back and figure out what representing the voters actually means. I’ll do that right after I finish reading “Atlas Shrugged” and practice my cursive writing.

Members of a Senate committee have rejected one reform designed to make to the federal food stamp program easier on program recipients and grocery stores. Good. The last thing Idaho should be doing is finding new ways to make poverty more convenient. The Senate Health and Welfare WAYNE HOFFMAN Committee, which previously advanced a bill to allow food stamp benefits to be distributed multiple times per month, changed its mind and killed the measure over cost concerns. That means food stamp benefits will continue to go out on the first of each month, resulting in continued long lines at the grocery store and spoiled food left by shoppers who gave up on making a purchase on food stamp distribution day. Some lawmakers said the multi-day distribution idea ignores the bigger problems with food stamps. Sen. Patti Anne Lodge, R-Huston, has long been frustrated by the visual of poor Idahoans buying grocery carts full of junk food on their government entitlement. “We need a committee that is willing to keep emotions out of this and find ways to help people stretch their food dollars,” Lodge said. “The food stamp program is supposed to be supplemental nutrition, and we need to get people to stop buying cookies, energy drinks, soft drinks and such. We need to encourage them to buy potatoes instead of a bag of potato chips. Simply issuing food stamps for 10 days instead of one doesn’t ensure that people are stretching their food budgets in nutritious ways. I cannot support this bill.” I will add to what Lodge said: If the food stamp program is “improved,” it will eliminate the need to truly fix the program. Right now, program users — food stamp recipients and grocers alike — have reason to improve the safety net for people in poverty. They’re united in the disdain for how the program works and the impact on Idaho citizens. When I talk to groups about government entitlements, not a single person has disagreed with me that food stamps reflect badly on compassionate impulses, on our desire to help our neighbors who are struggling. The committee’s action came as the Idaho Hunger Relief Task Force announced the results of a study finding that 15.4 percent of households in the state had an “inability to afford enough food.” “It is unacceptable that so many people across Idaho are struggling and cannot afford enough food to provide for their families,” said Kathy Gardner, director of the Idaho Hunger Relief Task Force in a news release. “These numbers show us that we must make our nation’s safety net stronger, not weaker. We can’t afford to leave these vulnerable people behind.” It will be shocking for some to read this, but she’s right. The food stamp program is clearly broken, and all the money the government keeps throwing at poverty and hunger doesn’t seem to be working. However, Gardner wants more money for the program. I don’t. And Lodge is right; we need a different kind of discussion, one that results in improved nutrition and greater accountability, one that connects people to private charity, families, churches and communities — groups that will find ways to help lift people up from poverty, not provide a resource that keeps them there.

Spending cuts seem here to stay By PHILIP ELLIOTT The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The spending cuts are here to stay if you believe the public posturing Sunday. The Senate’s Republican leader Mitch McConnell called them modest. House Speaker John Boehner isn’t sure the cuts will hurt the economy. The White House’s top economic adviser, Gene Sperling, said the pain isn’t that bad right now. So after months of dire warnings, Washington didn’t implode, government didn’t shut down and the $85 billion budget trigger didn’t spell doom. And no one has yet crafted a politically viable way to roll back those cuts. “This modest reduction of 2.4 percent in spending over the next six months is a little more than the average American experienced just two months ago, when their own pay went down when the payroll tax holiday expired,” McConnell said. “I don’t know whether it’s going to hurt the economy or not,”

“

I don’t know whether it’s going to hurt the economy or not. I don’t think anyone quite understands how the sequester is really going to work.” REP. JOHN BOENER Speaker of the House

Boehner said. “I don’t think anyone quite understands how the sequester is really going to work.” And Sperling, making the rounds on the Sunday news shows, added: “On Day One, it will not be as harmful as it will be over time.” Both parties cast blame on the other for the automatic, across-theboard spending cuts but gave little guidance on what to expect in the coming weeks. Republicans and

Democrats pledged to retroactively undo the cuts but signaled no hints as to how that process would start to take shape. Republicans insisted there would be no new taxes and Democrats refused to talk about any bargain without them. “That’s not going to work,” said Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H. “If we’re going to increase revenue again, it’s got to go to the debt with real entitlement reform and real tax reform when you actually lower rates. ... I’m not going to agree to any more tax increases that are going to go to increase more government.” All of this comes ahead of a new, March 27 deadline that could spell a government shutdown and a debt-ceiling clash coming in May. Boehner said his chamber would move this week to pass a measure to keep government open through Sept. 30. McConnell said a government shutdown was unlikely to come from his side of Capitol Hill. The White House said it would dodge the shutdown and roll back the cuts, which hit domestic and defense spending in equal share.

U.K.: Queen hospitalized over stomach illness

Cardinals get down to work in pre-conclave talks

LONDON (AP) — Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II was hospitalized Sunday over an apparent stomach infection that has ailed her for days, a rare instance of ill health sidelining the long-reigning monarch. Elizabeth will have to cancel a visit to Rome and other engagements as she recovers, and outside experts said she may have to be rehydrated intravenously. Buckingham Palace said the 86-year-old queen had experienced symptoms of gastroenteritis and was being examined at London’s King Edward VII Hospital — the first time in a decade that Elizabeth has been hospitalized. “As a precaution, all official engagements for this week will regrettably be either postponed or cancelled,” the palace said in a statement. Elizabeth’s two-day trip to Rome had been planned to start Wednesday. A spokeswoman said the trip may be “reinstated” at a later date.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Cardinals from around the world have descended on Rome to discuss some of the problems facing the Catholic Church ahead of the conclave to elect Benedict XVI’s successor as pope. Topping the agenda: Vatican scandals, Benedict’s remarkable decision to resign and efforts to keep Christianity relevant in today’s world. The first pre-conclave meeting is scheduled for Monday morning, headed by the dean of the College of Cardinals, Cardinal Angelo Sodano. He has said the date for the start of the conclave won’t be set until all the cardinals are in Rome, meaning a definitive date may not come until mid-week. The function of the pre-conclave sessions is to discuss core issues facing the church and for the cardinals to get to know one another better — both of which are meant to help the 115 “princes” of the church choose the right man for the papacy.

Car bomb kills 37, wounds 141 in southern Pakistan By ADIL JAWAD The Associated Press

KARACHI, Pakistan — A car bomb exploded outside a mosque on Sunday, killing 37 people and wounding another 141 in a Shiite Muslim dominated neighborhood in the southern Pakistan city of Karachi — the third mass casualty attack on the minority sect in the country this year. No one has taken responsibility for the bombing, but Shiite Muslims have been increasingly targeted by Sunni militant groups in Karachi, Pakistan’s economic hub and site of years of political, sectarian and ethnic violence, as well as other parts of the country. The bomb exploded outside a Shiite mosque as people were leaving evening prayers in Pakistan’s largest city. Initial reports suggested the bomb was rigged to a motorcycle, but a top police official, Shabbir Sheikh, said later that an estimated 220 pounds of explosives was planted in a car. Col. Pervez Ahmad, an official with a Pakistani paramilitary force called the Rangers, said a chemical used in the blast caught fire and spread the destruction beyond the blast site. Several buildings nearby were engulfed in flames. Men and women wailed and ambulances rushed to the scene where residents tried to find victims buried in the rubble of collapsed buildings. The blast left a crater that was 2 yards wide and more than 4 feet deep. “I was at home when I heard a huge blast. When I came out, I saw there was dust all around in the streets. Then I saw flames,” said Syed Irfat Ali, a resident who described how people were crying and trying to run to safety. A top government official, Taha Farooqi, said at least 37 people were confirmed dead and 141 more were wounded.

Leader of Syrian opposition makes visit to rebel areas in north Sunday BEIRUT (AP) — Following rebel gains, the leader of the Syrian opposition made his first visit Sunday to areas near the embattled northern city of Aleppo as fighters trying to oust President Bashar Assad captured a police academy and a border crossing along the frontier with Iraq. Assad, meanwhile, lashed out at the West for helping his opponents in the civil war, delivering a blistering rebuke to Secretary of State John Kerry’s announcement that the U.S. will for the first time provide medical supplies and other non-lethal aid directly to the rebels in addition to $60 million in assistance to Syria’s political opposition. Aleppo, the nation’s largest city, has been a major front in the nearly 2-year-old uprising. Government forces and rebels have been locked in a stalemate there since July. Mouaz al-Khatib met Sunday with Syrians in the two rebel-held Aleppo suburbs of Manbah and Jarablus, a statement said. The stated goal of his trip — his first since being named the leader of the Syrian National Coalition late last year — was to inspect living conditions.

Egyptian army intervenes in clashes between protesters, police PORT SAID, Egypt (AP) — The military intervened in clashes between thousands of protesters and police in a restive Egyptian canal city on Sunday, the latest in a cycle of violence that killed two security members and two civilians, and which continues to rock Egypt two years after the uprising that ousted longtime ruler Hosni Mubarak. Also on Sunday, a court ruled that Mubarak will face a new trial next month on charges related to the killings of hundreds of protesters during the revolution that forced him from power. Around 5,000 protesters threw rocks and firebombs at police in Port Said late Sunday, the scene of a civil strike now in its second week. Riot police responded with tear gas and bird shot in street battles that lasted for hours. The battle outside the police and government buildings started early Sunday and continued until past midnight.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

WILL ZAGS BE NO. 1? Holding the top ranking in college basketball has had costs this season, but for Gonzaga it would be historic

By JOHN MARSHAL The Associated Press

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 International Raceway only seemed fitting. Coming through on his promise to dominate after his Daytona disaster, Edwards pulled away on a late restart and snapped a 70-race winless streak on Sunday, the second long drought he’s ended at Phoenix. “This win feels as good or better as any win I’ve ever had,” Edwards 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 nonrestrictor-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 finish 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.

HONDA CLASSIC

Thompson wins Honda, earns spot in Masters By 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 different 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 bunker 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.

It also could keep Boise State (20-8, 8-6 MWC) in play for an NCAA Tournament bid. ESPN’s Joe Lunardi wrote that Boise State’s win against Colorado State was “impressive enough to move BSU ‘above’ the Last Four In (the NCAA Tournament) category.” Boise State can help their tournament chances this week, when it rounds out conference play at UNLV (22-7, 9-5) at 8 p.m. on Tuesday and hosts San Diego State (20-8, 8-6) at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday.

“That for me kind of sealed the deal,” Thompson said. “It allowed me to walk up the fairway and enjoy the experience, see the crowd and ... just finish strong.” The start wasn’t bad, either.

Bulgaria’s wrestling coach starts hunger strike WRESTLING: Bulgaria’s national wrestling team coach Armen Nazaryan has started a hunger strike to protest the IOC decision to drop wrestling from the Olympic program from 2020. The country’s wrestling federation said on Sunday that Nazaryan “will not eat until the start of the European Championship on March 22 in Tbilisi, Georgia ... and will only take juices.” The 39-year-old Nazaryan won Olympic gold for his native Armenia in 1996, and for Bulgaria in 2000. He is now head coach of Bulgaria’s Greco-Roman team. Last month, the chief of Bulgaria’s wrestling federation and seven-time world champion, Valentin Yordanov, returned his gold medal from the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.

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 final 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.

JOZY ALTIDORE 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 penalty 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.

ICHIRO SUZUKI Yankees outfielder Ichiro Suzuki said he had no soreness Sunday, one day after being involved in a traffic accident. Suzuki was on his way home after Saturday’s spring training game against Detroit when the accident occurred a few miles from Steinbrenner Field in Tampa. Suzuki said his SUV was totaled in the accident. He had a green light when he was hit by another vehicle in an intersection. The driver of the second vehicle was cited by police. No one was injured in the accident.

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 Masters 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 somewhere 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. C M Y K

Blackhawks top Wings in shootout to extend streak NHL ROUNDUP THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

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 history. They’ve matched Montreal’s multi-season points streak from the 1977-78 season and trail only Philadelphia’s run of 35 straight games with at least a point during the 1979-80 season. CANADIENS 4, BRUINS 3: David Desharnais scored the winner with his second goal of the game less than four minutes after Max Pacioretty tied it earlier in the third period, lifting the Montreal Canadiens to a comeback win over Boston in a matchup of the Eastern Conference’s top teams. RANGERS 3, SABRES 2 (SO): Rick Nash had a goal and assist and also scored in the shootout to lead New York over Buffalo. Ryan Callahan also scored for New York in the

shootout. Derek Stepan added a goal, and Henrik Lundqvist made 28 saves. New York has won two in a row. WILD 4, OILERS 2: 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 over Edmonton. FLAMES 4, CANUCKS 2: Jarome Iginla continued to have a hot hand, scoring the winning goal at 12:36 of the third period to lead Calgary over Vancouver. BLUE JACKETS 2, AVALANCHE 1 (OT): Artem Anisimov scored on a hard wrist shot on an overtime power play, and Sergei Bobrovsky made 18 saves to lead Columbus over Colorado. HURRICANES 3, PANTHERS 2: Jordan Staal, Alexander Semin, and Justin Faulk scored in Carolina’s win over Florida, giving the Hurricanes their second victory over the Panthers in as many nights. Former Idaho Steelhead 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. STARS 4, BLUES 1: 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. ISLANDERS 3, SENATORS 2 (SO): John Tavares and Frans Nielsen scored in the shootout, lifting New York Islanders over Ottawa.

“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 Jimmie Johnson and the two drag-raced to the finish, where Johnson edged him by a few inches. Keselowski, who was outside Johnson during Hamlin’s move, finished fourth and Dale Earnhardt 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 confrontation after arriving in the desert this week, but it’s been hard to avoid, with video of the scrap-anddash 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 second time in 140 laps.

During that time, Bauscher played games in the Euro-League, Euro-Cup and at the Euro-Challenge level. He also won the Dutch Cup and Dutch Championship and was named player of the year. After finishing his career at Boise State, Bauscher immediately looked at options to extend his playing career. “After winning the WAC Championship and getting All-WAC Defense and AllWAC Tournament team, my senior year was completed, and I was wondering what would be next in my life,” He said. “I started talking to a couple agents who thought I C M Y K

Miami Heat forward LeBron James (6) goes up for a layup in front of New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony (7) and guard J.R. Smith (8) during the second half of their game Sunday at Madison Square Garden in New York. The Heat won 99-93.

Heat rally past Knicks for 14th straight win NBA ROUNDUP THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LeBron James had 29 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists, and the Miami Heat tied a franchise record with their 14th straight victory, rallying 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 deficit 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 controlling 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. But James shook off a thirdquarter leg injury and was back in top form by the finish, putting it away by coming up with a steal and throwing down a dunk with 23 seconds left. Carmelo Anthony scored 32 points for the Knicks, who had their three-game winning streak snapped. THUNDER 108, CLIPPERS 104: 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 ended a three-game road skid, bouncing back less than 48 hours after losing at Denver. They also completed a season sweep of Los Angeles, which is chasing Oklahoma City and NBA-best San Antonio out West. Chris Paul scored 26 points, and Blake Griffin and Jamal Crawford added 20 apiece for the Clippers, whose four-game winning streak ended with their third loss to the Thunder this season. LAKERS 99, HAWKS 98: Kobe Bryant scored 11 of his 34 points in the

had a chance at playing in Europe.” Bauscher signed with agent Gerrit Kersten-Thiele of Scorers First Sports Management, and a couple months later landed his first professional contract in Europe. Bauscher has spent his entire professional career in Europe, and when asked if he has ever considered playing elsewhere Bauscher said: “I’ve thought about Asia and always wanted to travel to Australia, but for me and my playing style, I think, Europe is a great fit.” Switching gears and adapting to a completely different playing style and new set of rules in Europe, is always a challenge for players who leave the United States. But Bauscher has managed to adjust to the differences, which include a deeper 3-point line, timeouts only allowed on dead balls, and goal tending allowed after the ball hits

fourth quarter and hit the go-ahead layup with 9 seconds left, leading the Lakers back to .500 for the first time in more than two months. Steve Blake stole Josh Smith’s final pass in the waning seconds for the Lakers (30-30), who blew a 16-point lead in the second half before Bryant scored their last six points. After Bryant scored the Lakers’ final basket while driving directly at Smith, Blake swiped Smith’s desperation pass from underneath Los Angeles’ basket. Bryant threw the ball high in the air to run out the clock on Los Angeles’ seventh straight home victory over the Hawks since 2006. Al Horford scored 24 points and Smith had 19 for the Hawks. PACERS 97, BULLS 92: David West scored 31 points and George Hill added 21, leading Indiana past Chicago in a Central Division showdown. The Pacers (38-22) have won seven of their last eight games, going 6-1 since the All-Star break, and hold a four-game lead over secondplace Chicago. The Bulls were led by Marco Belinelli and Jimmy Butler, who each had 20 points for a team that was missing four important players with injuries. Chicago fell behind late in the first quarter and spent most of the rest of the game trying to play catch-up. SPURS 114, PISTONS 75: Manu Ginobili scored 17 points, Tim Duncan had 16 points and 11 rebounds, and San Antonio routed Detroit despite playing without All-Star point guard Tony Parker. Danny Green added 16 points and Kawhi Leonard had 14 for the Spurs (47-14), who rolled to their most lopsided victory of the season in their first game since Parker was injured. Greg Monroe scored 16 points and Jose Calderon 14 for Detroit, which has lost five of six. ROCKETS 136, MAVERICKS 103: Chandler Parsons scored a career-high

the rim. “The biggest difference between Europe and the NBA, D-League and college is the travel rule,” he said. “ Eighty percent of the first-step moves you see in the (U.S.) are a travel out here. The player must put the ball down before he makes his first step.” Despite the differences, Bauscher has been able to establish himself as a player who is “very comfortable with the pick and roll, making the right decision and being known as a smart, hard nosed player,” Bauscher said. Adjustments on the court are only a part of the transition process in creating a career playing basketball professionally in Europe. Bauscher said the toughest challenge has been off the court. “No question, it’s missing loved ones

32 points on 12-for-13 shooting and Houston snapped a nine-game losing streak to Dallas. Jeremy Lin and James Harden added 21 points apiece, and Lin had nine assists for the Rockets. O.J. Mayo scored 18 points and Shawn Marion had 14 to lead the Mavericks, who dropped six games behind Houston for the No. 8 spot in the Western Conference. GRIZZLIES 108, MAGIC 82: Tayshaun Prince had 14 points and Marc Gasol added 12 points and 11 assists as Memphis cruised to a victory over Orlando. The Grizzlies, who have won nine of their last 10 games, led by as many as 32 points and had six players in double figures. It was 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. Arron Afflalo and E’Twaun Moore each scored 12 points to lead a Magic team that has lost 17-of-19 on its home floor. Orlando is 4-31 since Dec. 20. WIZARDS 90, 76ERS 87: 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. Wall finished with 16 points and six assists as the Wizards snapped a two-game skid and avoided their longest slide in the last month. Dorell Wright scored 15 points to lead the 76ers, who have lost eight of nine. KINGS 119, BOBCATS 83: John Salmons scored 22 points and Jason Thompson had 18 points and 14 rebounds to lead Sacramento over slumping Charlotte. Marcus Thornton also scored 18 points for the Kings, who made 13 3-pointers in halting a stretch of seven losses in eight games. DeMarcus Cousins had 14 points, Tyreke Evans added 13 and Isaiah Thomas had 10 points and seven assists.

back home,” he said. “You are away from your friends and family for nine months a year and that can be tough. The last two seasons I’ve been very blessed to have my fiance with me, which makes living out here pretty easy.” Outside of a season where he played at Community College of Spokane, Bauscher was able to stay close to home during his amateur playing career. With an option such as the NBA D-League’s Idaho Stampede, Bauscher surely could try and extend his professional career in the Treasure Valley, but Bauscher insists that Europe is where he would like to stay. “I love Boise, it’s where my heart is, there is no doubt about it,” he said. “I’m not sure how many more seasons I’m going to play, but right now I see myself ending my playing career in Europe and not the (U.S).”

FLYING AWAY TO NEVERLAND TRENDS

First a reminder, as many of you began your spring yard work this past weekend. Interior painting season is winding down as our attention turns outMACHELE doors. If you were HAMILTON hoping to paint your Painting interior this year, make your arrangements now before schedules are full with exterior painting. Every year, I write a column summing up the new paint color trends. These trends run a five-to-10 year cycle and follow other home decor color choices, which actually follow fashion color choices. So believe it or not, there is a chance that that sweater you love so much might someday be on your walls (or the color at least). Who knew it all began with those designer runway shows? The colors we have loved for the last decade are long gone. Deep earth tones are no longer the color scheme of choice and trends have moved in one direction, and the only way to describe it is softer. Soft, fluid, watery colors that — no matter how much it pains me to say — can only be described as “pastel.” Paint manufacturers proudly list their “color of the year” and, of course, they are all different, but follow the trend. Sherwin-Williams has a minty aqua pastel called Aloe (SW6464) as their color. Benjamin Moore has a pale, dusty yellow called Lemon Sorbet (2019-60). The Color Marketing Group, an international association of color design experts, has selected “Reblued,” a blue with a touch of green, as their 2013 color choice. The most common thread on every color palette is blue, but it is a new blue. The old blues were more traditional, say patriotic, while the new blue is warmer, more tropical and watery with green tones. This aqua or turquoise will rule the color palette for quite some time to come. The one break from all the pastels is the industrial look of gray. From taupe to gunmetal, satin to metallic, grays are used as a more traditional option. They can ease the transition from the rich and bold colors we’ve loved the last decade, to the whispery soft colors which will dominate in the coming years. Once again, I remind you how we tend to warm up to trends as we are exposed to them, changing our opinions over time. For many, what we like today is a work-in-progress and we will have a different attitude over time. For others, it doesn’t matter how much they see something, they will never like it. But we live in America and that means it doesn’t matter! We can follow the trends if we choose, or remain traditionalists in our interior design. Our homes are our castles, and the trend that supersedes all others is making your home your comfort and sanctuary, suited just for you.

Northwest Nazarene University opens weekend run of ‘Peter Pan’ Thursday at Swayne Auditorium By DAN LEA

NAMPA — Delight to the fantasy and wonderful magic of the musical “Peter Pan” when it comes to the stage of Swayne Auditorium at the Brandt Center Thursday through Saturday. Take a whimsical trip to Neverland — a land of pirates, Indians and the Lost Boys. Director Rick Strader, who played the role of Peter years ago, has assembled a talent-rich cast of performers for this Northwest Nazarene University Department of Music production. The Broadway musical was first made famous in film form by Mary Martin in the title role, and later on stage by gymnast Cathy Rigby. It features all of the memorable music from the original Broadway show. “This is NNU’s Centennial Year, and we wanted to celebrate with the biggest musical production in our history,” NNU music department chairman Barry Swanson said. “‘Peter Pan’ is certainly that.” The 1956 musical made its way from San Francisco to Broadway and is the musical adaptation of the original play by James M. Barrie. NNU’s production features all of the classic songs: “I’ve Gotta Crow,” “Never Never Land,” “I’m Flying,” “Hook’s Tango,” “I Won’t Grow Up,” “Tender Shepherd” and “Ugg-a-Wugg.” Strader, ably assisted by Karissa Ellingson, has shared his special love for “Peter Pan” with the cast and crew. Strader starred as Peter in a Boise Music Week production in 1993 and has enjoyed an affinity

CHECK IT OUT WHAT: Northwest Nazarene University presents “Peter Pan” WHEN: 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday WHERE: Swayne Auditorium, Brandt Center, 707 Fern St., Nampa TICKETS: Adults $10, students and seniors $8, at the Brandt Center box office, 456-8795, nnu. edu/brandt; group and family rates 467-8795 for the production since childhood. “I love ‘Peter Pan,’” Strader said. “As a boy, you grow up reading the story, thinking about the adventures and about flying. “I remember going into auditions telling them I could sing all the songs, but they said ‘but you’re a guy,’” Strader recalled. He said they had a meeting, cast him in the part and the rest is history. “I got the part and loved it. I ate it up. I lived and breathed it. And I said then that someday I hoped to have the chance to direct the show. Being here at NNU, I’ve been pretty blessed to be given the opportunity to direct shows. I’m not the chair of a department or anything, but they seem to like what I do. I thank the Lord for that. I have a great Hook and I could tell I had a terrific Pan and all the other characters just were like the stars were all lined up. ‘Second star to the right and straight on ‘til morning ...”

The cast Jana DeSimone is cast in the role of Pe-

ter Pan, the boy who refuses to grow up. She also starred as Laurie in NNU’s 2010 production of “Oklahoma!” She flies through the air sprinkling fairy dust as she goes. DeSimone and other cast members trained to fly with the famed Las Vegasbased special effects company “Flying by Foy,” which installed the rigging that allows Peter and the children to soar on stage. Peter loves to sneak into the home of the Darling family and listen as Mrs. Darling (Alexandra Jarrat of Nampa) reads bedtime stories. Caught in the act, Peter convinces the three Darling children to fly away with him to Neverland, where he lives with a troop of Lost Boys. Big sister Wendy, played by Eagle’s Jordan Hazen, and her brothers, John and Michael (portrayed by Aiden and Jordan Shuck of Nampa) do fly with Peter to Neverland to do battle with the not-so-fierce pirates led by Captain Hook (played by Boise native BJ Howard, who starred as Don Quixote in NNU’s production of “Man of LaMancha” last spring). In Neverland, the children befriend a strange band of Indians led by the Indian Princess Tiger Lily (Jackie Presnell of Meridian). Other principal characters include Jordan Brawner as Hook’s hilarious pirate sidekick Smee, Stephenie Kuykendal as Nana/Crock, Aubrielle Holly as a grown-up Wendy and Alaina Bredy as Liza. Steve Kuykendal returns as musical director for the production. He will lead the 21-piece orchestra, as he did for NNU’s “Godspell” and “Honk!”

Let dad know your brother is having trouble DEAR ANNIE: I’m 18, and my parents recently went through a messy divorce. First my mom moved out. Then my dad moved out a month later because Mom didn’t want him living in our house. She wanted to move back in. I have an older sister and a younger brother. Mom tried to convince us that she missed being with us. But since she moved back in, she is always on the phone or computer or out with her friends. She says it’s her time to have fun and that we’re always criticizing her. She also badmouths my father and tells me things about him that no parent should say. I’ve asked her to stop multiple times, but she won’t. I work long hours in order to contribute to our rent and utilities. My sister and I are essentially raising our younger brother, who has been struggling in school and acting out. Mom is oblivious. I recently got into a huge argument with her about how I spend my money. We didn’t speak for two weeks because she ignored all of my attempts to talk about it. After a while, I stopped trying. Now Mom always favors my sister in any disagreement. We used to be close, but I’ve lost all respect for her. What should I do? I seriously need some advice. — Lost Child DEAR LOST: The divorce has sent your mother over the edge. All of you are under a great deal of stress, and your brother’s prob-

ANNIE’S MAILBOX Advice

lems are undoubtedly intensified by all the chaos in the home. Please talk to your father. Being divorced does not mean he has given up his obligations and responsibilities as a parent. Do not place blame. Simply start by telling Dad that your brother is having problems in school that aren’t being addressed. If you have grandparents, aunts and uncles, lean on them for emotional support when you need to. Your job may offer an employee assistance program that could help, or if you are attending school, talk to your school counselor. DEAR ANNIE: I am home in bed with the flu. In fact, this is the fourth time in the past four months that I’ve missed work due to a virus. I’ve used up my sick leave, so I’m not earning any money, and a lot of my work isn’t getting done by the part-time volunteer who fills in for me. Why am I sick so much? Because business associates come in, lean over my shoulder and say things like, “I ought to be at home. I’m so sick.” I’ve even had clients come in saying they left work feeling ill, but thought they’d stop to see me before they went home. If you are too

sick to be in your office, you are too sick to be in mine. When I ask folks to steer clear if they are ill, I’m told that I am unsympathetic and rude. If I miss any more work, I won’t be able to pay my bills. How can I convince people that illness belongs at home? — Sick of Being Sick DEAR SICK: People mistakenly believe it shows loyalty to come to work sick, and unfortunately, many bosses idiotically encourage this attitude. But the end result is more employees contaminating the work environment and getting sick. We can only recommend that you get your daily dose of vitamins and wash your hands frequently. DEAR ANNIE: This is in response to “Grandma,” with the sloppy granddaughter. A coworker told me what she did. After repeated arguments with her sloppy daughter, she got a big garbage bag and tossed in everything her daughter neglected to put away, including shoes, purses, dresses, cosmetics and electronics. One day her daughter asked, “Have you seen my red shoe?” Mom said she’d have to pay a “finder’s fee” to get anything out of the bag. That was the end of her sloppy ways. — Enlightened

Medications offer multiple ways to treat asthma DEAR DOCTOR K: I have asthma. Can you explain how bronchodilators and steroids help me breathe easier? DEAR READER: To understand how asthma medications work, you need to understand how asthma affects your lungs. Asthma assaults the lung’s airways. The airways are the tubes through which the air you breathe enters and leaves your lungs. During an asthma attack, the airways get narrower as the muscles surrounding them constrict. During an attack, the airways also become inflamed. Mucus produced by the inflammation fills the narrowed passageways. As a result, the flow of air is partially or completely blocked. (I’ve put an illustration of this on my website, AskDoctorK. com.)

Some people with asthers, asthma medicama have only occasional, tions act in one of two mild symptoms.

in an inhaler or taken with a nebulizer, a device that mixes medications with a mist for inhalation. n Anti-inflammatory medications prevent asthma attacks from happening. They are usually taken regularly, regardless of whether you are having symptoms. They work by reducing inflammation, which decreases mucus production and reduces tightening of airway muscles. Anyone with asthma symptoms that occur more than a couple times per week should consider taking an anti-inflammatory medication. The first choice is usually an inhaled corticosteroid. n Other medications: Drugs called methylxanthines are older types of controllers; they work mainly on relaxing the muscles of the airways. Drugs called leukot-

riene inhibitors are newer types of anti-inflammatory drugs that are controllers. A drug called ipratropium sometimes is used in the emergency room during severe attacks to relax the airways. An anti-inflammatory drug called omalizumab is a controller that can effectively reduce the number of serious attacks in some people. Fortunately, we have better treatments for asthma today than we did when I trained to become a doctor. If you take your medications as prescribed, you will minimize the effect asthma has on your life.
