Information is given on new findings of five rare and endangered species of amphibians and reptiles inhabiting the Primorsky Krai: Onychodactylus fischeri, Pelodiscus maackii, Takydromus wolteri, Oocatochus rufodorsatus and Hebius vibakari. New locations are presented for the studied amphibians and reptiles. For the first time, Onychodactylus fischeri is reported here for the Partizanky Ridge, thus expanding its known habitat range in the south-western direction. Data on Takydromus wolteri, Oocatochus rufodorsatus and Hebius vibakari findings in western Primorsky Krai are provided for the first time. Habitat borders of Takydromus wolteri in the northern part of its distribution has been updated in various directions: to the west (Khankaysky District), north (Krasnoarmeysky District) and northeast (Olginsky District). The current model of habitat range and breeding places of Khankaysky population of Pelodiscus maackii has been demonstrated, taking into account submerging sandy spits on the western coast of Lake Khanka in 2014–2017. Rivers flowing into Khanka from the western site were shown to play an important role for inhabitance and reproduction of this species. Detailed information on distribution of Hebius vibakari in Primorsky Krai is given for the first time. This species is indicated to be common and sometimes numerous in the south and central parts of Primorsky Krai. The current state of this species' population was researched at locations indicated previously in the references. Some Protected Areas were analysed in the way they protect rare species of the Far Eastern herpetofauna. Hebius vibakari occurs consistently in the State Nature Reserve «Ussuriysky», State Nature Reserve «Kedrovaya Pad» and National Park «Land of the Leopard». Within their borders, the National Park «Bikin» and National Park «Udegeyskaya Legenda» are shown to have no effect on conserving populations of Pelodiscus maackii and Oocatochus rufodorsatus inhabiting basins of the River Bikin and River Bolshaya Ussurka. Their populations are distributed to the west of the national parks. Organising new Protected Areas is urgent for the Primorsky Krai in its western part (River Komissarovka basin) and in its south-eastern part (Livadiysky Ridge).

Tapp walks free after 20 years: 'I never thought this day would come'
Published at 4:23 pm, March 22, 2017 |
Updated at 6:13 pm, May 20, 2019
IDAHO FALLS — Christopher Tapp walked out of the Bonneville County courthouse Wednesday afternoon to a crowd of people cheering.
"I never thought this day would come," Tapp said. "Thank you, everybody, for supporting me all these years.
His attorney, public defender John Thomas, exclaimed. "This is it, Chris. Freedom!"

One hour earlier, Tapp appeared in handcuffs before 7th District Judge Alan Stephens for a resentencing hearing he thought may never happen.
The courtroom was packed as Stephens explained an agreement reached between Thomas and Bonneville County Prosecutor Danny Clark that negotiated Tapp's freedom after more than 20 years in prison.
Tapp was arrested in 1996. He was accused of raping and murdering 18-year-old Angie Dodge at her I Street apartment. Several months later, he confessed to Idaho Falls Police detectives that he had committed the crime. He was convicted in 1997, but serious questions were raised during the following years that the confession was coerced or false.

Numerous DNA samples left at the crime scene did not match Tapp's, and the man to whom the DNA belonged has never been identified.
Judges for Justice, the Idaho Innocence Project and other organizations have been working for years to overturn Tapp's conviction and have him released from custody.
One of Tapp's biggest supporters has been Carol Dodge, Angie's mother. She has tirelessly fought to get Tapp out of prison and believes the man who murdered her daughter is still out there.
Clark told EastIdahoNews.com that Thomas approached him Saturday with an agreement that would allow Tapp to walk free.
The agreement stipulated the first-degree murder charge would remain on Tapp's record, but the rape charge would be dismissed. He would be resentenced to serve 20 years for the murder but get credit for time served. Tapp would give up all rights to appeal, and the case would essentially be over.

Clark agreed to the proposal and a resentencing hearing with Judge Stephens was scheduled for Wednesday.

"I never thought this day would come," Vera Tapp said. "I've been praying for this day. I'm praying for both Christopher and Carol Dodge. If it wasn't for Carol Dodge, we wouldn't be here today. I'm excited to give him a hug – when we can be one to one."
Moments later, Dodge entered the courthouse with her son, Brent.
"I'm so overwhelmed. I don't know what to say," Dodge said, trying to hold back tears. "I'm grateful for this moment. It's been a long time coming. I've worked really hard to get it to come."
As numerous media outlets from across the country awaited the arrival of Tapp, he emerged from a nearby courtroom wearing a white collared shirt, black dress pants and tennis shoes.
When asked how he felt, Tapp simply responded, "Grateful. Nervous."
He entered the courtroom and smiled as he saw several friends, Dodge and his mother.

Stephens explained the agreement to Tapp, and Tapp said he understood that he will always have the murder conviction on his record, but the rape charge is dropped.
Dodge then took the stand and said she was there not as a victim, but as a "survivor of a horrible crime that took my daughter's life."

She read from a letter she said Angie inspired her to write for Tapp.
"Today is a new chapter. Go forward without bitterness and without a hardened heart," Dodge said. "From this day forward it's up to you – the path that you choose. Stay clean and stay sober. Stay on track. When you feel strong, take big giant steps. When you're weak, lean on your higher power. Your mother has loved you unconditionally through all of this, and now it's time for you to give back."
As she left the stand, the courtroom audience stood in silence.
Dodge's son and Angie's brother, Brent, then took the stand and said today's events are about healing.
"Although the agreement isn't perfect, it does provide the catalyst to allow healing to take place," Brent Dodge said. "Healing not only for our family, but the community and the public servants who have worked on our behalf to see this through."
Stephens asked Tapp if he had any questions, to which Tapp responded that he did not.
"I recognize the impact the ruling I make today will have not only on the victims but also on yourself and the public in the state of Idaho," Stephens said. "Both the attorneys for the state and your attorney have worked diligently to reach a resolution that, in my mind, fills the needs for justice and fairness."
With that, the hearing was over, and Tapp was free to go.

Tapp then left the courtroom with Thomas. They walked down a staircase and outside the front doors of the courthouse.
Nearly 50 people gathered outside. They applauded and cheered.
"I'm just grateful for everything," Tapp said. "It feels different to not have handcuffs on. I want to prove to everybody that I can be something and do something right."
Tapp continued, "I'm thankful for all the time and energy Carol has given me to help me get to this point. She's continued to believe in my innocence and I'm grateful."
Tapp hugged supporters and posed for photographers for nearly an hour.

Vera offered to go out for pizza for dinner, but Tapp responded that he wants steak.
He said he will spend time with family over the next few days before leaving the state to get a job.
As he roamed freely through the crowd of friends gathered, with his mother and Carol Dodge by his side, Tapp remarked, "I never thought this day would come. Never. Ever. And now it's here."

Second Language Learning Theories
Author by Rosamond Mitchell
Genre : Language Arts & Disciplines
Editor : Routledge
Second Language Learning Theories is a clear and concise overview of the field of second language acquisition (SLA) theories. Written by a team of leading academics working in different SLA specialisms, this book provides expert analysis of the main theories from multiple perspectives to offer a broad and balanced introduction to the topic. The book covers all the main theoretical perspectives currently active in the SLA field and sets them in a broader perspective per chapter, e.g. linguistic, cognitive or sociolinguistic. Each chapter examines how various theories view language, the learner, and the acquisition process. Summaries of key studies and examples of data relating to a variety of languages illustrate the different theoretical perspectives. Each chapter concludes with an evaluative summary of the theories discussed. This third edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect the very latest research in the field of SLA. Key features include: a fully re-worked chapter on cognitive models of language and language learning a new chapter on information processing, including the roles of different types of memory and knowledge in language learning the addition of a glossary of key linguistic terms to help the non-specialist a new timeline of second language learning theory development This third edition takes account of the significant developments that have taken place in the field in recent years. Highly active domains in which theoretical and methodological advances have been made are treated in more depth to ensure that this new edition of Second Language Learning Theories remains as fresh and relevant as ever.
Understanding Second Language Acquisition
Author by Lourdes Ortega
Whether we grow up with one, two, or several languages during our early years of life, many of us will learn a second, foreign, or heritage language in later years. The field of Second language acquisition (SLA, for short) investigates the human capacity to learn additional languages in late childhood, adolescence, or adulthood, after the first language --in the case of monolinguals-- or languages --in the case of bilinguals-- have already been acquired. Understanding Second Language Acquisition offers a wide-encompassing survey of this burgeoning field, its accumulated findings and proposed theories, its developed research paradigms, and its pending questions for the future. The book zooms in and out of universal, individual, and social forces, in each case evaluating the research findings that have been generated across diverse naturalistic and formal contexts for second language acquisition. It assumes no background in SLA and provides helpful chapter-by-chapter summaries and suggestions for further reading. Ideal as a textbook for students of applied linguistics, foreign language education, TESOL, and education, it is also recommended for students of linguistics, developmental psycholinguistics, psychology, and cognitive science. Supporting resources for tutors are available free at www.routledge.com/ortega.
Fluent Forever
Author by Gabriel Wyner
Editor : Harmony
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • For anyone who wants to learn a foreign language, this is the method that will finally make the words stick. "A brilliant and thoroughly modern guide to learning new languages."—Gary Marcus, cognitive psychologist and author of the New York Times bestseller Guitar Zero At thirty years old, Gabriel Wyner speaks six languages fluently. He didn't learn them in school—who does? Rather, he learned them in the past few years, working on his own and practicing on the subway, using simple techniques and free online resources—and here he wants to show others what he's discovered. Starting with pronunciation, you'll learn how to rewire your ears and turn foreign sounds into familiar sounds. You'll retrain your tongue to produce those sounds accurately, using tricks from opera singers and actors. Next, you'll begin to tackle words, and connect sounds and spellings to imagery rather than translations, which will enable you to think in a foreign language. And with the help of sophisticated spaced-repetition techniques, you'll be able to memorize hundreds of words a month in minutes every day. This is brain hacking at its most exciting, taking what we know about neuroscience and linguistics and using it to create the most efficient and enjoyable way to learn a foreign language in the spare minutes of your day.
Author by Vivian Cook
Second Language Learning and Language Teaching provides an introduction to the application of second language acquisition research to language teaching. Assuming no previous background in second language acquisition or language teaching methods, this text starts by introducing readers to the basic issues of second language acquisition research. It then examines how people learn particular aspects of the second language, such as grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and the writing system, and at the strategies they adopt in their learning and the differences between individuals. Final chapters look at second language learning in a broader context – the goals of language teaching and how teaching methods relate to SLA research. This newly updated fifth edition builds on the comprehensive scope of earlier editions while also addressing more recent developments in the field, particularly multilingual approaches to language teaching.
Second Language Acquisition Myths
Author by Steven Brown
Editor : University of Michigan Press ELT
This volume was conceived as a first book in SLA for advanced undergraduate or introductory master's courses that include education majors, foreign language education majors, and English majors. It's also an excellent resource for practicing teachers. Both the research and pedagogy in this book are based on the newest research in the field of second language acquisition. It is not the goal of this book to address every SLA theory or teach research methodology. It does however address the myths and questions that non-specialist teacher candidates have about language learning. Steven Brown is the co-author of the introductory applied linguistics textbook Understanding Language Structure, Interaction, and Variation textbook (and workbook). The myths challenged in this book are: § Children learn languages quickly and easily while adults are ineffective in comparison. § A true bilingual is someone who speaks two languages perfectly. § You can acquire a language simply through listening or reading. § Practice makes perfect. § Language students learn (and retain) what they are taught. § Language learners always benefit from correction. § Individual differences are a major, perhaps the major, factor in SLA. § Language acquisition is the individual acquisition of grammar.

Hacienda Sonora is a farm located in the Central Valley of Costa Rica, at the foot of the world renowned Poas Volcano. The farm's area is approximately 100 hectares, which is composed of 65 hectares of shaded coffee, 25 hectares of wild forest reserve, and 10 hectares of sugar cane. The average altitude is 1,200 meters above sea level. InterAmerican Coffee is a long-time partner with Sonora.
Alberto Guardia began growing coffee at Hacienda Sonora 45 years ago. His son, Diego Guardia was born and raised at Hacienda Sonora, and obtained a Mechanical Engineering degree at San Diego State University in his early 20's. After he graduated, he worked for two years as a construction engineer in the State of California before returning home to work with his father to improve and maintain the family operation.
Sonora's coffees grow in an environment surrounded by exotic trees and other vegetation, providing a great condition for quality, as well as improving the chemistry of the already naturally rich volcanic soil. Thanks to the farm's diverse ecosystem, many different species of birds and animals seek refuge in the land.
Sonora has a well-known reputation for commitment to quality micro-lots, specific varietal and processing separation, and fulfilling their goal to leave a positive impact on the environment and people that surround their business. All of the energy consumed by the farm is 100% renewable energy harvested on the farm powering the mill and electricity for local workers.
In 2010, Diego began to also work for InterAmerican's "sister" company CECA Palmichal Coffee Mill and exporting company in Costa Rica to focus on a micro-lot program. In 2015, the Palmichal Micro-Mill began by processing up to 5 to 100 bags from 1,200 specific micro-lot farm and varietals. Ceca traditionally sources SHB, Fancy SHB and Tarrazu green coffee from over 2,000 coffee growers in the Tarrazu region. Their nursery program experimented with planting 350,000 plants in 2016 with high quality rust resistant materials, and offers special financing to coffee growers. Ceca buys various qualities from over 80 suppliers throughout the country and works hard to fill specific clients' needs.
The El Cerro natural is 100% processed natural. El Cerro is the name of one of the parcels at the Sonora farm, processed just like the other naturals. The varietal is Red Catuai and it's harvested the same as the other coffees at Sonora by picking only the real ripped cherries. They tend to have pretty consistent cups with varietals through the different plots, however the El Cerro one was particularly different this year.

10 Things You Didn't Know About Dunkin'
By Isabella Broggini ‧ 02/08/2019 ‧ Eat /
There are two types of people in this world — Starbucks people and Dunkin' people. If you fit into the latter category, you probably consider yourself an expert when it comes to the Boston-born coffee franchise. Employees at your local DD know your order by heart and you've sampled pretty much all of the available donut flavors. But we're still willing to bet that you don't know at least one of these 10 fun facts about Dunkin'. Get ready to appreciate your go-to coffee spot even more.
1. Dunkin' has more than 70 different donut varieties.
Rene Schwietzke / Flickr
While Dunkin's most popular donut flavors include Vanilla Frosted, Strawberry Frosted and Chocolate Glazed, the donut master has more than 70 different regional and classic flavor varieties. You've probably forgotten about the coconut donut and the sour cream donut, for instance.
2. Dunkin' officially dropped its last name.
A post shared by Dunkin' (@dunkin) on Jan 17, 2019 at 1:31pm PST
In September 2018, Dunkin' Donuts announced that it would officially change its name to Dunkin' in January 2019. The coffee company said that it dropped its last name in an effort to become "better friends" with its customers. "We're moving to a first-name basis," Dunkin' tweeted last year in late September. The coffee giant hopes that the change will reinforce that Dunkin' is a beverage-first company even though they still sell donuts (phew). Dunkin' Brands' CEO and U.S. President David Hoffmann said in a statement that he believes the name change "will keep [Dunkin'] relevant for generations to come."
3. On an average day, Dunkin' sells about 60 cups of coffee every second.
John Phelan / Wikipedia
Dunkin' is the eighth largest fast food restaurant chain in the world by its number of locations. Dunkin' has 11,300 coffee shops overall, so it's no surprise that the coffee company sells a lot of cups of joe each day. On a typical day across all of its locations, Dunkin' sells an average of 60 cups of freshly brewed coffee every second. That means that every year, the coffee giant sells roughly 2 billion cups of coffee.
4. You can get a free donut by taking the Dunkin' customer survey.
At the bottom of every Dunkin' receipt, there's a link to a short customer satisfaction survey. If you take a few minutes to fill that out, you can redeem a free donut at your local shop. (Just keep in mind that this offer only stands when you buy a medium or larger beverage.)
5. The OG Dunkin' is still open.
The first Dunkin' coffee shop opened in the 1950s in Quincy, Massachusetts, and it's still open to this day! Back then, the OG Dunkin' shop sold donuts for five cents a piece and cups of coffee for 10 cents. If only we had a time machine…
6. Dunkin's "secret menu" is filled with yumminess.
A post shared by Joe Thompson (@jojo.so.dope) on Jul 9, 2017 at 2:33pm PDT
There's a whole world of secret drinks that you can order at Dunkin' even though they're not officially on the menu — you just need to know what to ask for. One of our favorites includes the Nutella Surprise. To order it, ask for a Mocha Iced Coffee with two added shots of hazelnut syrup. There's also the Snickers Coffee, which you can create by ordering a Dunkin' Donuts Iced Coffee with one hazelnut swirl and one salted caramel swirl. It'll taste just like the candy bar!
7. Some Dunkin' locations sell "donut fries."
A post shared by Dunkin' (@dunkin) on Jul 13, 2018 at 5:24am PDT
You can now buy "donut fries" at participating Dunkin' locations. These fries are made with donut dough, tossed in cinnamon sugar and served warm. You can buy five of Dunkin's donut fries for just $2. We know what we're eating for breakfast.
8. Dunkin' had its own running shoes.
In March 2018, Dunkin' and apparel retailer Saucony partnered up to create a limited-edition Dunkin' running shoe. The shoe featured a sprinkled donut on each heel and the Dunkin' logo on the tongue of the shoe. Because there's nothing like a sugary donut and a good cup of coffee to get you motivated to exercise!
9. Dunkin' has Girl Scout Cookie-inspired coffee flavors.
A post shared by Dunkin' (@dunkin) on Mar 10, 2018 at 4:56am PST
To celebrate Girl Scout Cookie season, Dunkin' is serving up limited-edition coffees at participating locations that are inspired by iconic flavors of various Girl Scout Cookies. From now until the beginning of the spring, you can enjoy Dunkin' Coconut Caramel and Thin Mints coffee flavors, as well as the new Trefoils Shortbread flavor. We're in.
10. Dunkin' has been a wedding venue in the past.
A post shared by Dunkin' (@dunkin) on Jan 27, 2019 at 6:18am PST
Back in 2010, one couple got hitched inside a Dunkin' on Route 24 South in New Jersey. The couple said that Dunkin' was a natural pick for their wedding venue because they were regular DD customers, sometimes hitting a Dunkin' drive-thru twice in one night. The newlyweds were gifted a basket of coffee, his-and-her mugs and boxes of donuts. Sounds like a sweet deal to us!

Bill Gwynne's Latin and World Music Recordings
Examples of recordings I've made of Latin and World music styles
Latin and World Music
I played trombone in Tropicoso, a Cincinnati salsa band for a dozen years and that led to some ready-made opportunities to dive in and record latin music of all types. I recorded Tropicoso's debut CD "Un Cuento" and a five years of releases for the Salsa on the Square compilation CD of local latin ensembles.
This cut was penned for us by Rene Herrera, a real live Cuban ex-pat who wound up leading a great salsa band out of Richmond Virginia called Bio Ritmo. This is the leadoff cut from the Un Cuento CD.
I played in another Cincinnati latin band, Acapulco, for a couple years and we were part of the Salsa on the Square compilation CD that was given away on Salsa Thursdays at Fountain Square during the past few summers. This cut was co-authored by Pablo and Maribel on about two weeks notice and we were all jazzed by how it came out. I was left on my own to produce the final mix so I took a more contemporary approach a la Willy Chirino with some effects and filtered vocals.
Son Del Caribe is a salsa band in the classic style with led by amazing trombonist Jaime Morales-Matos (who also conducts symphony orchestras in his 'non-mambo' hours); they put together this fine offering for the Salsa on the Square CD of 2010. It features Gina Stoh doing a fine job on vocals.
Here's a real up tempo "Descarga" or latin jam tune. It's an instrumental featuring the Acapulco horns; I'm playing the trombone solo… Unfortunately the Baritone sax player Randy Thompson passed away shortly after making this. RIP Randy, this is for you!
Here's a cut that goes waaaaay back, with a great Cincinnati ska band: The Magnets. We recorded this in a very intense, short production period and I honestly don't remember all that much about it except that: most of it was recorded after midnight, we did this on 2-inch tape, and Waffle House-Covington is a total freak show at 4am on a Saturday night!!!

Mile High Mamas, a new Denver Post blog and community focused on being a mother in Colorado, soft-launched today. The Mamas use a forum on Neighbors, but without the Denver Post look-and-feel.
My prediction: The Mamas forum will have the fewest incidents of the word "Nazi" of all the forums on Neighbors.
Prove me wrong, mamas, prove me wrong.

Home Home Improvement How Do Vacuum Conveyors Work?
The most basic explanation of pneumatic conveying is that it involves the movement of suspended bulk such as chemicals, pellets, tablets, fine powders and other small elements in a uniform stream from a supply source to a point of delivery transported through pipes or hoses. An application of air, which is supplied through a blower or vacuum pump, forms a high air velocity and low solids-to-air ratio which moves the materials through the piping or hoses. The presence of the vacuum stops any chance of the product from being released into the environment in the event of a leakage.
– Dilute Phase Conveying: the material is drawn into the air stream in equal parts product to air. This is a great way of conveying powders such as flour or sugar.
– Dense Phase Vacuum Conveying: materials are transferred in slugs within the convey tubing. This is a slower process and is suitable for a blend of powders or friable products.
– The loading of the material from containers into the vacuum conveyor.
– Discharge position: the material is discharged and put into packaging machines.
A pump creates a vacuum in the Vacuum Conveyors separator tank. Air flushes through a hose from a feeding point and into the suction inlet. From here the material is aspirated and transported in this air stream.
A separator tank reduces the velocity, and the material collects above the conveyor's discharge valve. A filter, which is located inside the separator tank, removes dust and airborne particles from the product and the air. The material is then collected into the separator.
Once the material has passed into the separator and it is full, the vacuum turns off and the material is discharged out of the conveyor through a discharge element. It falls into a tank, where it can then be loaded.
The filter is automatically cleaned by a blast of air, and there may be cases when the filter unit discharges the odd filter cake. Piston vibrators along with fluidising units are available which help improve the process of discharging for materials that are sticky or have bad flowing characteristics.
Once the product has been unloaded, the discharge valve is shut off and the vacuum cycle process starts afresh.

Die Gesetzesreform zur Entwicklung des wissenschaftlichen Personals in Bulgarien: Eine ökonomische Gesetzesfolgenabschätzung
Egbert, Henrik (2010): Die Gesetzesreform zur Entwicklung des wissenschaftlichen Personals in Bulgarien: Eine ökonomische Gesetzesfolgenabschätzung. Published in: Osteuropa Wirtschaft , Vol. 55, No. 3 (1 July 2010): pp. 180-191.
The academic education law in Bulgaria was reformed in May 2010. The reform changes the institutional setting for academic careers. The new system assigns considerably higher autonomy to academic organisations concerning the awarding of academic titles and the offering of positions. In this article I examine the incentives of the new law on the behaviour of people who pursue an academic career in Bulgaria. The results of the economic analysis show that the reform causes positive effects on several layers. Individuals are motivated by extrinsic incentives leading to a more active participation in research and publication. By abolishing the central national organisation which was in charge of awarding academic titles and positions, an intensified competition among a number of organisations emerges. Furthermore, I expect a substantial degree of resistance against this reform and, also, that its results will be discernible only in the long run. For the reform to become a success a crucial factor is whether and how the academic organisations manage to independently adapt their structures of self-administration to it.

Het wapen van Limbricht werd op 21 juli 1949 per Koninklijk Besluit aan de Nederlands Limburgse gemeente Limbricht verleend. De gemeente werd op 1 januari 1982 opgeheven, om op te gaan in de gemeente Sittard, waarna het wapen is komen te vervallen. Het wapen komt in de schildvoet van het wapen van Sittard terug.

Blazoenering
De blazoenering van het wapen luidt als volgt:

Het wapen is rood van kleur met daarop drie rode kepers. Achter het schild een dubbelkoppige adelaar. Deze is zwart van kleur met gouden snavel en poten. De tong is rood van kleur.

Geschiedenis
De dubbelkoppige adelaar duidt aan dat Limbricht een rijksheerlijkheid was. Het wapen is overgenomen van het wapen van de eerste heren van de heerlijkheid, Christiaan van Limbricht zegelde in 1288 met zijn persoonlijke wapen bestaande uit drie kepers. Het wapen van Elsloo vertoont ook een schild met drie kepers, dit kan er op wijzen dat de heren van Elsloo en Limbricht aan elkaar verwant waren. In 1686 zegelde de schepenbank van Limbricht met een wapen met drie kepers, dit is tevens het oudste bekende zegel van Limbricht. Na de opheffing van de gemeente Limbricht zijn de drie kepers in het nieuwe wapen van Sittard opgenomen.

Homedale is the largest of the many towns that dot the landscape of Owyhee County. Jacob Mussell was the first known permanent settler in the area when, in 1898, he built a ferry boat to help people cross the Snake River.
It was just 11 years later when the townsite was platted, a mayor and council were put into place, and a town name was selected by drawing names from a hat. Homedale was officially established in 1920.
The region is significant in Idaho History for many reasons. Not only is Owyhee County the second largest in the state, it was also the first county formed by the Idaho Territorial Legislature in 1863.
One branch of the Oregon Trail crossed through Owyhee County. And rich mineral deposits brought miners high into the Owyhee Mountains to places like Silver City. Much of Silver City is still standing and is a popular recreational destination.
With a new town established, a two-story brick school house soon followed in 1913. That same year the Union Pacific Railroad built a line connecting Homedale to Nyssa, Oregon. The railroad, coupled with irrigation, helped turn Homedale and Owyhee County into a productive farming region.
The ground surrounding Homedale produces alfalfa seed, sugar beets, potatoes, corn and grain. The area on the other side of the Snake River also produces hops and a bounty of wine grapes.
Two cultures play a major part in the community of Homedale: Basque and Austrian. A large number of people with Austrian heritage live in an area south of the city called Austrian Town. They were lured to Homedale in 1914 by unscrupulous land speculators who "sold" them the ground. After making the trek to Idaho, the settlers found that not only was the ground undeveloped, but they still had to purchase the land from the government.
Homedale continued to grow over the years with the first bridge spanning the Snake River in 1921. At one time there were 15 churches serving Homedale. And even though many people over the years have migrated to larger cities, Homedale has continued to prosper.
The town now attracts people looking for the quiet, comfortable and close-knit life that can be had here in rural Idaho.
