The Acord Family played music prior to the dedication ceremony, and refreshments were served in the courtyard. "It's a big day for us," said Park Superintendent Scott Durham, who re- counted the park's history. Since the new wing opened, revenue is up 50 percent over the same time last year, he noted. He also paid tribute to the park employees and their role in making the expansion happen. "Twin Falls is blessed with a staff that rises to every challenge," Durham stated. Sen. Richard Browning said he and Rick Staton, who were both in the House of Delegates, pushed to keep the expan- sion project moving for- ward after the initial funding was awarded in 2005. He credited Sen. Bill Baker, whom he said "car- ried our water" in the early days. The original $3 million allocation for the expan- sion led to a design that "wasn't much more than what we have now." Browning said he asked to see another design in a meeting with the architect and was shown something he liked a lot more—and cost a lot more. The senator said he and Staton "started pouting" and held up some bills then Governor Joe Manchin wanted to see passed. Eventually, he remem- bered, Manchin called to find out what the problem was.

Farewell hugs: Houck retiresBY JOHN CONLEYAssociate Editor
Tears and laughter min-gled as the staff at Hern-don Consolidated Schoolhonored retiring principalDella Houck with a dinnerrecently.Houck, a principal for
20 years and WyomingCounty school employeefor 36, said she was step-ping down for health rea-sons."It's been a wonderful
journey of blessings," shetold the assembly. "Retire-ment is a new beginning.""She taught love," said
Okey Mills, a teacher atHCS.Mills evoked laughter
as he gently teased Houckfor her favorite phrases(with "oh mercy" toppingthe list), her naivete andher famous hugs.A certificate was pre-
sented to Houck for dis-tributing one million hugsduring her career."I grew up in a very lov-
ing family, and that justcarried through my life,"she reflected, when askedhow the hugging habitbegan. "When you meet
someone, you just givethem a hug."Staff members sere-
naded Houck with "Welove you Della, oh yes wedo" and presented her witha rocking chair.Superintendent of
Schools Frank "Bucky"Blackwell called her "agreat person, a greatteacher and a great admin-istrator."Her career began in
1975 at the old HerndonGrade School and contin-ues at schools all aroundthe county.She always wanted to
be a teacher, she recalled."From the time I was a
girl, I loved and idolizedmy teachers," Houckstated. "They were rolemodels for me.""I love the kids," she
said. "I love the experi-ence. I knew it was theright choice."Never once did I think
I don't want to be here,"she commented.Whiile technology and
other aspects of educationhave changed, Houcknoted, children have not."They want to please
you, they want direction,
they want to be loved."Becoming a principal
"meant I could help morekids," she stated."When you're a class-
room teacher, you're incontrol of that one class.As a principal, you canimpact more lives."Houck said she enjoyed
her nine years at HCS,where she described thestaff as a "family. The par-ents, the children, thecommunity are all sogood.""We had a substitute
teacher here recently whosaid this school is the bestkept secret in WyomingCounty."The party surprised her.
she said."I specifically told them
I did not want a party," sheremarked."It's been a blessing to
be here," Houck said.She and her husband,
Gary, will be off to Italy tovisit son, Matt, who is atthe American Air Forcebase there."We're excited about
that," she observed.The Houcks have four
sons and four grandchil-dren.

WEHS, Renegades take part in summer shootout
BY JOHN CONLEYAssociate Editor
Wyoming East andWestside joined forces tohost the county's first-everbasketball shootout lastTuesday at WEHS.Eight teams competed
for over eight hours, giv-ing coaches a chance tosee their personnel fornext season."It's just an opportunity
to play four games and seewho wants to play ball,"said Warriors coach RoryChapman."The kids from this area
usually have to go some-where (for an event likethis) and spend the nightand spend a ton ofmoney," commentedWestside coach NickCook. Bluefield, Oak Hill,
Shady Spring, Tolsia,Princeton and Libertyjoined the county teamsfor the day of hoops."All of the other
coaches seemed to like itand want to come back
next year." Cook noted.The shootout was made
possible by the addition ofthe East auxiliary gym,which was completed lastsummer.Games, which consisted
of two 12-minute halves,were played on bothcourts.Bluefield, East, Oak
Hill and Tolsia each went3-1 on the day. Westsideand Shady Spring finishedat 2-2. Liberty and Prince-ton were 0-4.The Warriors played
without point guard LukeCampbell, and Westsidewas minus last year's lead-ing scorer, Dylan New-some. Guard Corey Bowles
injured an ankle early inthe day but gamely playedon.The day ended with the
county foes squaring offagainst each other. East used a 20-4 late in
the first half and early inthe second to build a 33-16 lead. The Warriors
went on to win, 52-27."They were in better
condition than we were,"Cook said. "But that'ssomething we can fix."There aren't any sur-
prises when we play eachother" he added. "Weknow their personnel, andthey know ours."Chapman liked what he
saw from junior-to-beBrett Bowling. "He workshard," the coach re-marked.The East big men had
their moments as well."When Taylor Smith ismoving, he's good," henoted. "(Marcus) Schofield is
our x-factor. He's tooquick for bigs to guard andtoo big for guards toguard."Next year's shootout
may be expanded, thecoaches say. More teamsmay be added, along witha second day of play."We may do pool play
the first day and then sin-gle elimination on the sec-
