n Video shows Democrat saying he didn’t know who he voted for president in 2008 TWIN FALLS (AP) — Democratic gubernatorial candidate A.J. Balukoff is firing back against a new political video accusing him of not knowing who he voted for in the 2008 presi- dential election. The Republican Gover- nors Association released a video Tuesday with footage of Balukoff telling an RGA cameraman he would have to see if he could remember who he voted for six years ago. Balukoff is currently running against Republican Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter, who is seeking a third term. The Times-News reports that Balukoff’s campaign says the candidate did not answer the question seri- ously because the man had refused to say who he worked for while following Balukoff for nearly a month. “(Balukoff) wasn’t treating him like a member of the public or a journalist because we knew this guy was working for Otter or one of his allies,” campaign spokesman Mike Lanza told The Associated Press. “So he wasn’t giving him a serious answer.” Lanza said Balukoff voted for Democrat Barack Obama in 2008 and Repub- lican Mitt Romney in 2012. Balukoff considered voting for John McCain but decide against it when Sarah Pali became McCain’s runnin mate. “As he’s said before, h doesn’t just vote the part line,” Lanza said. “He trie to check individuals an their experience, and wha their ideas are and wha they represent.” Otter’s campaig responded to the RGA a by blasting Balukoff for th video in a news release. “While he can’t recall wh he voted for, it is apparen that Balukoff supports liberal agenda includin higher taxes, Obamacar and the re-introduction o wolves,” it says. “Balukoff’ stance on issues is a fa cry from values importan to Idahoans.” pass. That measure would have funded construction of a new middle and high school. “I still think (a new middle school and high school) is what we need, but it really comes down to, what will the commu- nity pay for?” Superinten- dent Chuck Shackett said. “I think that’s something a lot of people want, but I don’t think it will ever pass. So we have to have it be viable.” While a vote on a March bond measure is likely, Shackett said it depends in part, on whether the dis- trict’s proposed $3 million supplemental levy renewal passes. That measure goes before voters Tuesday. conducted an online survey, which showed a majority in support of the bond. “We had 55 percent (support) running it in ugust, so we’re hopeful that in the general elec- tion … more voter partic- ipation will get us to that two-thirds majority,” he said. If approved, patrons will see a $95 a year tax increase per $100,000 of a home’s taxable value. Bonneville Joint School District 93 is asking voters to renew a two-year, $3 million a year supple- mental levy. The levy has been critical to staying afloat and avoiding addi- tional personnel cuts in the face of state cutbacks, Superintendent Chuck Shackett said. “We have a $50 million budget, and $3 million is 6 percent of that,” he said. “If you lose a certain per- centage of your budget, you have to sit down and determine what it is you would cut out.” The measure would not increase the tax rate. If it fails, Shackett said the district will look at running it again. The levy requires a simple majority for passage. West Jefferson School District 253 also seeks a levy renewal for a two- year, $300,000 per year supplemental levy. The levy money is used to fund salaries and benefits for employees, technology and textbooks, Superin- tendent Dwight Richins said. “We try to pay above the state salary schedule,” he said. “We’re trying to stay competitive and that’s how the district is compensating with state funding (cuts).” The measure would not raise property taxes. It requires a simple majority to pass. The Post Register and its partner newspapers in Idaho have worked to advance coverage of the candidates in key contest- ed races.

Taking urine analysis, taking everything.” Today is National Day of Remembrance for Nuclear orkers — workers such as Johnson who put in decades at what now is Idaho National Labora- tory and other nuclear sites around the country. Con- gress passed the resolution creating the day of remem- brance in 2009. In supporting the nuclear effort following World War II and through the Cold ar, workers were exposed, often unknowingly, to radia- tion, chemicals and other workplace risks that either have been eliminated or reduced today. Many from that era have died, but there remains a large contingent of people such as Johnson who still reside in eastern Idaho. They are cared for by several gov- ernment-funded health pro- iders, such as Nuclear Care Partners and Critical Nurse Staffing, which both have offices in Idaho Falls. Johnson, a Shelley res- ident, knows she was exposed to high levels of radiation that day in 1961, and the two nonstop days of work that followed. At one point, she began feeling a slight burning sensation on one side of her foot. She had someone put a radiation detector near it, and said the detector started beeping like crazy. Her shoes immediately came off and were placed in a bag. “I know the others got contaminated, too, but we didn’t have time to check all the nurses and techs and everyone,” Johnson said. “It was no fun. I can remember as plain as can be.” Blackfoot resident Jim Furniss, 79, was working the graveyard shift at a reactor site several miles away the night of Jan. 3. He recalled finishing up some refueling work and reporting to the health physics office. That’s when he heard the radio squawking and “all hell breaking loose.” He and a few other workers climbed up on the roof and watched the flashing lights of SL-1 off in the distance. Furniss worked for decades as a welder and pipefitter at what today is INL, as well as other nuclear sites and power plants around the country. He recalled a radia- tion incident while he was working a project at Indian Point Energy Center, a nuclear plant in New York. There also were hazards at INL, where he now knows he was constantly exposed to asbestos and other toxic chemicals. “The way they dressed us then — the clothing, the res- pirator — they would never dress like that today,” he said. Furniss has beaten back throat cancer. He’s picked up pneumonia more than 30 times in recent years. His voice is gone and a long tube, equipped with a nasal cannula, is hooked up to an oxygen tank that follows him everywhere. It’s hard to attribute spe- cific exposures and chem- icals to his array of health issues. But he and his wife, Cathy, know they played a big part. Cathy Furniss, 71, who also worked for years in various clinical positions at the site, does much of the caretaking for her husband. In addition, a nurse from Nuclear Care Partners checks in three times a week. Johnson, meanwhile, has a Nuclear Care Partners nurse with her 24 hours a day. She’s faced plenty of her own health scares in recent years. Still, neither Furniss nor Johnson regret their decades of work at INL. “I learned a lot, I really did. I was very thankful for the job,” Johnson said. “But anyone working out there has got to be careful. And I thought I was. But you can’t do much when you have 20 men coming in for blood work. You put your gown on, and you get busy.” WORKERS From Page B1 522-7424 825E.17 th St.,IdahoFalls www.buckmillerhann.com funeral@ida.net BUCK-MILLER-HANN FUNERALHOME&CREMATIONSERVICES ShirleyTownsend MemorialServices 11a.m.Thurs.,Oct.30,2014 FirstLutheranChurch 455W.SunnysideRd. inIdahoFalls Gathering:forfamilyand friendswillbeheldonehour prioratthechurch BrianDaniels MemorialsServices 11a.m.Sat.,Nov.1,2014 EdisonLutheranChurch 14201ChurchRd.in Bow,Washington BettyJoJohnson ServicesPending BOND From Page B2 Balukoff dismisses attack ad Luke Ramseth / lramseth@postregister.com Jim Furniss, in his Blackfoot home, has faced numerous health issues since he retired in 1992 from working as a welder and pipefitter in the nuclear industry.
