Figures released recently by the Elmore County Assessors Office showed home property values fell by 1.5 percent in 2013, which represents a slower rate of decline since the housing market crash in 2008... |

Hi All:
FYI...Reading about the wildfire up near Garden Valley, the experts say its burning in mid-August type conditions. I'm guessing our nearby mountains both north and south are probly just as tinder dry. Use caution out there but get out there abd have some fun too.
Thanks,
Tim
Thanks random stranger. I too love a good end to a K-9 situation. Good news is very nice these days:-)
Good job, Opinion Missy. I love a happy K-9 ending too.
LOST DOG CLAIMED! Love a happy ending. He is back home with his family and kids. Thanks.
YELLOW LAB FOUND IN MH: Older, large, yellow/golden, male, lab found yesterday around 11 a.m. Very nice dog that knows commands and is very well behaved/quiet and sweet. Has hip problems and was found with a collar but no tags/chip. Dog was very overheated and thin but is doing well. If he is yours, and you want him back, please call the Mountain Home Animal Shelter. VERY, VERY nice dog that deserves to spend the time he has left in a good home with lots of love and being spoiled. Thank you!
What a fun-filled and enjoyable night at the golf course last night! Thanks to all that played a part in assembling one of THE BEST 4th of July celebrations I've ever had! Kudos to all, and God Bless America!
Outstanding fireworks display last night. Thanks to all involved.
And a belateled Happy Birthday to the Great State of Idaho (Founded: Jul 03, 1890)

To the Lucky Boaters at Strike Dam who acquired new toys on Monday:
On the off chance you thought the items you "found adrift" on the lake were left there for you, they weren't. Thanks for ruining something we have done for over 12 years. Usually, when you find water toys moored out of the way, with a buoy and anchor it means they were put there on purpose and "finders keepers" rules do not apply. Multiple families have been able to enjoy each others toys over the years--you use what you want for awhile, then tie it back up and move on to the next one. That is until somebody decides to keep them all for themselves. If you happen to know the lucky boaters who have a new, easily identifiable old wakeboard (white top, red bottom, with bondo patches on it) and black kneeboard, invite them to return them. Though boat Karma has a way of maintaining itself, we may or may not have seen your boat pick the items up, or your trailer, or the vehicle you towed the boat with. If you'd like to return them you can post an anonymous reply or contact me at belike-39509@mypacks.net If not, enjoy them! But look out for that Karma!

The U.S. Flag at the junior high needs to be replaced.
I first noticed it back in April and assumed it would be taken care of, since it was so obviously tattered/torn.
I was wrong, Again.
Might have missed them? Pleeeease
Just in case no one else has noticed yet, the link for a map to Rail Road park (on the calendar for Farmer's Market) takes us to Alabama.
Thanks to Moral Majority for bringing my attention to the two letters he mentioned. I might have missed them had you not said something. Thanks again!
