Letter to the Editor: Janet Owsley
I had the privilege to attend the Veterans Day assembly at
Orofino Jr.
Sr.
High School on Monday. It was a
great tribute to our veterans. The choir and band did an
excellent job under the direction of Cathleen Tetwiler. Ms.
Montgomery did a great reading of Jim Claffey’s poem. The media
students put an emotional slide show together of the veterans of
all wars. The veteran speakers were both educational and

America: Get out onto open waters
America has historically been the place where only the terms hope,
optimism, and impossible dreams matter. However, over the last
half-century we have become divided by the skewed definitions of
the words conservatism and liberalism largely with the advent of
television and the byproduct of unfair and dishonest propaganda.
Propaganda, that is a term we don’t like the sound of; however,
what else do you call communication that is aimed at influencing
people towards one side of an issue by withholding the complete
story through lies of omission or purposeful deceit?
How convenient that the same light boxes that urge us to
pick one fabric softener over another are used in like manner to
influence the direction of who operates our government.

Down Memory Lane
40 Years Ago: Construction was progressing well on the ultra-modern bank
building which would house the Orofino office of First Security
Bank (where Wells
Fargo is now). The total valuation of the building was
in excess of $230,000. It was designed by the
Idaho Falls architectural firm of
Sundberg and Associates, Inc. The projected completion date was
March of 1973. 90 Years Ago: John Swanson purchased the stumpage
on a small 1922 burn on the North Fork, across from the mouth of
Silver Creek, from the Clearwater Timber Company, and was then
engaged in moving in supplies and equipment for logging. Swanson
was expected to cut nearly a million feet of white pine logs and
upwards of a thousand cedar poles.

CVHC Celebrate the Season tickets still available
Have you purchased your tickets yet? Only 200 will be sold and this event
typically sells out! Tickets are available by calling Jamie
Wilson at CVHC at
476-8000 or by visiting
Johnson’s Jewelers in person and purchasing them there. The
Celebrate the Season Committee is busy working on collecting the
final donations from local businesses for the infamous beer/wine
tree. Tickets are sold at the event to raffle off sections of
the tree. Each tier of the tree holds a selection of wine and
beer and this year is featuring a whole tier of fine whiskeys
donated by
Freeman
Creek Transmission and
Car
Care
Center. “I felt that the
tree would be more balanced with an offering of hard alcohol…
and may also be more appealing to the male audience,” says Chuck
Ruland, Owner,
Freeman
Creek Transmission and
Car
Care
Center.
