Newsflash

Sept 6, 2010: I have updated the Mountain Home Voters Guide to the 2010 General Election. This "sample ballot" for Mountain Home residents now includes the candidates for the Western Elmore County Recreation District. Two local residents have stepped up to the plate and believe they can do a proper job running the WECRD. Hopefully Judy Mayne and Nelson will give us the opportunity to discover what they plan on doing to straighten out the WECRD. Click HERE to download the guide.

** Press Release **

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Contact: Brian Schad, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Dear Reader,

My name is Brian Schad and I am Idaho's 2nd CD Independent Candidate for this year's general election in November. Like many of you, I have become disillusioned with our federal government, our federal elected leaders, and the unsustainable financial path we are traveling as a country. I have stopped talking politics and began talking about "solutions" last year.

Around that time, I learned how my federal representative - one that I have repeatedly voted for in the past - has broken away from conservative principles and values important to Idaho. Having served our nation's armed forces for 12 years previous, I have made the commitment to once again return to the service of my country with the very same intensity of purpose I put into being a Navy SEAL to protect my country. It is that resolve I'll put into being the peoples' advocate for Idaho's Second Congressional District in the effort to restore our federal government back to "by the people, for the people."

I want all of my Idaho neighbors to know there are three of us in this Congressional race, so instead of voting for the lesser of two evils - as perhaps done in the past- if you like my message, you can now "vote your conscious" in November.

** Press Release **

Walmart Real Estate Index Part 2

Last Updated on Saturday, 10 July 2010 07:57 Written by Tim Bondy Saturday, 10 July 2010 06:50

This is Part 2 of the Bondyweb Walmart Real Estate Index for Mountain Home, Idaho

Part 1 can be read here

Friday evening of July 9th, 2010 I had orders to buy a couple of gallons of whole milk for my wife's cheese making project. So off I went to Walmart. I traveled the same 2.7 miles as on July 2nd while counting the total number of homes for sale along the way.

The Numbers
July 2, 2010 – 11 Homes for Sale
July 9, 2010 – 12 Homes for Sale

Results of My "Walmart Homes for Sale in Mountain Home Idaho Index"
According to my non-scientific real estate index, the Mountain Home real estate market is getting worse. I found 12 homes for sale on this day compared to 11 homes just one week earlier. From my "getting old and forgetful" memory, it looks like one of last weeks homes sold and two additional homes were put up for sale.

Trulia Data Says Otherwise
According to the website "Trulia, there appears to be little or no change in the total amount of 3 bedrooms home for sale in the city. But it does look like the current "buyers market" is holding steady as the average asking price has dropped from $160,054 to $158,306 in the last 20 days.

Wild Water North Fork of the Payette

Last Updated on Monday, 05 July 2010 08:44 Written by Tim Bondy Monday, 05 July 2010 08:32

As anyone from Idaho can tell you we had a very wet Spring 2010. All this rain and wet high country snow caused lots of rivers and creeks to overflow their banks and become some people's idea of a good time. We were on vacation in early June 2010 and as we made our way southward from Kellogg to Mountain Home we encountered amazing sights along many of Idaho's rivers. The two rivers that stand out in my memory were the Little Salmon River south of Riggins and the Payette River along Highway 55 south of Cascade, Idaho. Both these rivers were above flood stage on the day we drove past and along them and it was wild.

Because our vacation was coming to an end, I'm sorry to say we didn't stop to take pictures...because as they say "Pictures of it didn't happen". Much to my surprise though, I found this video taken along the North Fork of the Payette River. It's really a June 2010 video trailer from a full length whitewater kayaking movie called "WildWater". While we were driving south along this river Toni and I wondered if the river was ride-able in a raft or kayak. I think we both decided that no sane person would willingly slip into a kayak and attempt what we though would be the impossible. As you can see, we were wrong or maybe the kayakers were just plain crazy?
