Visionaries:
 
Ms. Lund and I have been invited to appear on the Auntie E and Brother Carl  
show this afternoon to discuss the upcoming property tax hearings before the  
Idaho Board of Tax Appeals. (We will, I expect, also be commenting  on  other 
local issues - WalMart, our city council, religious crackpots, the  
established practice in Moscow of rewarding those who ignore zoning laws  and the 
Comprehensive Plans, etc. etc. etc.) 
 
The IBTA hearings will be held in a conference room at the University Inn  
Best Western.  
 
The hearing for Anselm House (Appellant: Christ Church,  represented by Greg 
Dickison - Respondent:  Latah County BOE,   represented by Deputy Prosecutor, 
Jim Craig)  is 9:30, January 11.  
The hearing for New St. Andrews College (Appellants:  Saundra Lund, Rosemary 
Huskey - Respondent: New St. Andrews Trust, represented  by Greg Dickison) is 
at 2:00, January 11.
The hearing for  Logos School (Appellants: Saundra Lund, Rosemary Huskey -  
Respondent: Faith Ministries, Inc. dba Logos School represented by Greg

Rosemary Huskey - Respondent: Jim Wilson) is at 10:00  January 12.
 
As usual, Auntie and Brother have allowed us to chose a favorite song  as a 
reward for appearing.  As usual, my choice is an inspirational  rabble rousing 
tune. Special thanks to my daughter Heather for introducing  me to this foot 
stomping, get-up-and-get-busy tune.  It's from a great  C.D. by Brian McNeill 
called "The Back O the North Wind."  The song is  called the Rock and the Tide 
(lyrics below - slightly edited).  You'll love  the bagpipes, and I hope be 
motivated by the sentiments so beautifully  expressed by Brian McNeill.
 
The Rock and the Tide
 
Come all of you who lie in the prisons of the mighty, 
Who refuse to deny what you believe,
and know your greatest foe is the servant o' the night
who ties to sell the bargain of reprieve. 
And when the  captains o' the cruel come to whisper their lies
let their temptations fall by your side.
Listen tae the ocean and 
remember how the rock stands firm against the tide. 
 
And you who would be jailers, take this warning
for every (wo)man you break upon your wheel,
There's another whose courage will pierce you like a thorn,
when you see you can never make him (her) kneel.
And when the torn digs deep into the canker of your heart,
and the prisoner sees the shame you cannot hide,
it's then you'll fear the sound o' the ocean, 
where the rock stands firm against the tide.
 
No matter the freedom, no matter the cause, 
no matter the truth that lies beyond
no evil can triumph, though it cloak itself in law,
against a (wo)man whose word is his (her) bond.
No cage can hold the spirit of a true (wo)man's heart 
and injustice can never fetter pride.
No tyrant can ever chain the ocean, 
while the rock stands firm against the tide.
 
Rose  Huskey
