Build the Idaho Economy: BUY IDAHO

 

If the 1.5 million people in Idaho, all spent just $100 more with Idaho companies this year, instead of an out of state company:That would be $150,000,000 more spent into the Idaho economy this year.

Imagine the effect of another $150,000,000 in new jobs, capitol improvement, re-investment in Idaho families and new equipment to build Idaho business, industry, education and agriculture.

Sales tax at 6% would be $9,000,000 increased funding for education, health & welfare, parks, transportation, law enforcement, and the many services that make Idaho a better place to live and raise families.

Plus, the taxes Idaho companies pay on the $150,000,000 in additional sales; the wages they pay people, the workers compensation, health care, added jobs and the individual taxes the employees will pay into the Idaho economy. With additional income, families will enjoy a higher standard of living.

Every dollar spent in Idaho, may be spent over again and again in the Idaho economy. Yes, it does matter! Buy Idaho Products and Services from Idaho companies when you can.Join Buy Idaho; find a listing of Buy Idaho members, and learn more at www.buyidaho.org.

Royce Garner is this Week's Buy Idaho Member of the Week at KIDO 580 AM

This week's guest on KIDO Radio is Royce Garner, the creator of Toe Juice. In 1970 Royce Garner, a high school chemistry teacher in Boise, Idaho, produced his first batch of Toe Juice. His endeavor began when his infant son had flaking, dry, cracked feet.

The many lotions, creams, and medicines were ineffective in solving the problem. So Royce did some research, went to his lab, and came out with a revolutionary new product. Not only did it fix and prevent further complications with his son’s feet, but over the next 37 years many friends, family, and acquaintances have benefited from the strength of Royce’s Toe Juice.

Toe Juice is a fast drying liquid, which refreshes, soothes, and softens dry cracked feet, in addition to stop itching, burning, and annoying irritations. Toe Juice effectively treats most skin problems in just a few treatments.

Every second and fourth Wednesday at 8:55 a.m. KIDO Radio hosts Dave Burnett and Bryon Norton interview a Buy Idaho member about their business. The interview is an informal question and answer session about the member's business, the products or services they provide contact information, such as address, phone numbers and web site address. The interview is designed to help Buy Idaho members sell more.

2008 U.S. Government Stimulus Payments

News Release:

Re: 2008 U.S. Government Stimulus payments

Buy Idaho encourages all Idahoans to Buy Idaho with their rebate checks from the U.S. Government Stimulus pay outs to arrive soon.

"The purpose is to stimulate the American economy", said Dale Peterson, Executive Director, "not the economy of foreign countries selling goods and services in the U.S." Peterson continued, "When you Buy American, and Buy Idaho you will usually have a better product, often at a lesser cost, with a warranty/guarantee backed by someone you can contact. Buying Idaho, and Buying American helps your fellow Idaho and American citizens to thrive in business."

The stimulus package was passed by Congress to stimulate the American economy, but if those dollars are spent on foreign goods, we stimulate foreign economies, with American dollars, further depressing our own.

To learn more about Idaho Products, visit the Buy Idaho Showroom, at 404 South 8^th in Boise, in the 8^th Street Marketplace; or check our over 1,000 members online at www.buyidaho.org.

Buy Idaho is a non-profit, non tax supported association of Idaho Business and Industry promoting the sale of Idaho products and services.

Governor C. L. "Butch" Otter, co-founder of Buy Idaho in 1986 said "The Buy Idaho message is simple but profound; doing business with the family helps us all. Keeping dollars here at home contributes to our economic growth. It helps pay for the schools, services and infrastructure we all need to compete in the global marketplace. It just makes good sense to Buy Idaho. Please join me in supporting our great businesses and people by remembering to Buy Idaho!"

Greg Koenig is this Week's Buy Idaho Member of the Week at KIDO 580 AM

This week's guest on KIDO Radio, Gret Koenig, one of the owners of  Koenig Distillery and Winery  in Caldwell. Koenig combines Old Word brandy, vodka, and wine making traditions with some of the Northwest’s finest fruit to produce classic eau-de-vie fruit brandies, premium varietal wines, and Famous Idaho® Potato vodka.

For proprietors Andy and Greg Koenig, the idea to establish a distillery and winery in Southwest Idaho has roots in Europe, where the brothers have lived for three years in their father’s hometown of Lustenau, Austria. There, pears and apples and plums were transformed into clear, distinctive spirits through the age-old art of distillation.

At home in Idaho, some of the Northwest’s finest fruit was being grown on the Sunny Slope, near where their mother’s family had homesteaded and made wine during the Great Depression two generations earlier. The concept of traditionally distilling this high-quality fruit into world-class brandies provided the foundation on which the Koenig brothers slowly built the Koenig Distillery and Winery, where you are invited to taste and see the results of the unique combination of the Old World and the New.

Every Thursday at 8:55 a.m. KIDO Radio hosts Dave Burnett and Bryon Norton interview a Buy Idaho member about their business.

Buy Idaho member Pets Best Insurance launches pet insurance in Japan

picture, (from left) are Masahiro Aruga, Business Development for Pets Best Japan, Donald Dietrich, (standing) Administrator, Idaho
Department of Commerce, Iwao Nonaga, President & CEO, Pets Best Insurance Inc. Japan, Dr. Jack Stephens, Founder & President
Pets Best Insurance, Dale Peterson, (standing) Executive Director, Buy Idaho Inc., Greg McDonald, CEO, Pets Best Insurance

January 31, 2008, (Boise, ID) Today Pets Best Insurance hosted a delegation of business leaders and dignitaries from Japan and the state of Idaho to announce the launch of their brand of pet insurance in Japan. Pets Best founders, Jack Stephens DVM, and Greg McDonald, along with Pets Best Japan founder Mr. Iwao Nonaga were on hand to meet with local Boise media about this historic expansion of pet health insurance from the United States to Japan.

Although several European pet insurance companies have expanded outside their countries’ borders, this marks a first for a leading pet insurance provider in the United States to expand its technology, business processes and brand outside the United States and the first pet insurance company in Japan.

With a declining human birth rate in Japan, pets are becoming an integral part of the family. There are over 25 million dogs and cats in Japan. Pets, according to a survey of Japanese pet owners, are considered friends and provide spiritual support. Just as in the United States and Europe, the rise in stature of pets increases the utilization of veterinary care, resulting in greater need for pet insurance. Pets once considered only objects, were changed by legislation in 2004 as objects with life, an important distinction in Japanese culture. Pets fulfill a needed role in Japanese society, just as in the United States by reducing stress, providing companionship, improving “good feeling” hormones and bringing joy to families.

The founder of Pets Best Japan spent several years doing an analysis of pet insurance in North America and Europe, focusing on products and systems. After an exhaustive search, the principals decided that Pets Best had the best product and proprietary software system for pet insurance. Mr. Iwao Nonaga, the founder
of Pets Best Japan said, “After dealing with many companies in North America and Europe, we found that
Dr. Jack Stephens, the founder of pet insurance in the United States, was by far the person with the most
knowledge and insight to provide us with a model for success. Our goal was to have a highly automated,
streamlined system from which to operate and the best product to market to a highly discerning market in
Japan.”

The multi year agreement provides for all current and future automated underwriting and claims systems to be utilized in Japan. In addition certain proprietary and patent pending processes and procedures of Pets Best will be utilized by Pets Best Japan in exchange for an upfront fee and ongoing royalties based on
sales. In addition, Dr. Stephens will serve on the Pets Best Japan board of directors and be a senior advisor to the company. “The diligence and planning of Mr. Nonaga and his team was superlative and in great depth.” Said Dr. Stephens. “In all my years I never experienced such due diligence and all of us at Pets Best are extremely proud that we were chosen over all other pet insurers in the world for this agreement.”
# # #
Pets Best Insurance reimburses pet owners for services from the veterinarian they choose, with no schedules or fee restrictions, truly establishing it as "Pet insurance that really pays!" Pets Best Insurance was founded by Dr. Jack Stephens, the pioneer of pet insurance with over 25 years in the pet insurance industry. Dr. Stephens is also an accomplished veterinarian and avid pet enthusiast. Pets Best includes a choice of four affordable coverage plans with a straightforward 80:20 claims reimbursement structure and
NO benefit schedules. The Pets Best Insurance team is a highly skilled and professional group of pet lovers who have developed products based on innovation and insight into veterinary care.

The Fabulous Chancellors; rocking 'n' rolling for nearly 50 years

Click here to see a video clip of  the Fabulous Chancellors

From their web site....Beginning in 1959, The Fabulous Chancellors have enjoyed nearly fifty years of recognition as a classic rock 'n' roll show and dance band. With nearly thirty original recorded songs on five completed album collections, The Fabulous Chancellors have also distinguished themselves on record, two of which, "Diamond in the Sky" and "Hey Girl," achieved regional airplay and popularity in the early 60's. Two 1990 recordings, "(Me and My Baby Like) Old Songs" and the tongue-in-cheek "I'm Cool" achieved national airplay. The band's most recent CD, Anthology, 1990-2006, features the band's most popular tunes from that period as well as original songs and live performances.

In the early 60's The Fabulous Chancellors rocketed to fame in the Northwest with their high-energy rock 'n' roll presentation. Based in Boise, Idaho, the band played sold-out local and regional teen clubs, leading to show performances with rising recording artists on tour as The Cavalcade of Stars. Although this original group disbanded in 1969, the banner of The Fabulous Chancellors remained an undying memory in the minds of countless fans.

In 1989, with the blessing of the founding members, Ross Miller re-formed The Fabulous Chancellors with one-time Chancellors bassist, Lou Mathews. Joining them were Joe Baldassarre and Grant Green, who filled out an all-Boise lineup, and the band was on its way once again. A 1990 reunion event that included the founders of the band created such excitement among area Chancellors’ fans, that the venue was filled to “standing room only” as a testimonial to the band's lasting legacy.

Since that time, The Fabulous Chancellors have enjoyed continuous success in their home state of Idaho, and beyond, including repeat appearances with the popular Concerts at Sea Oldies Cruise hosted by Boise radio icon, "Big Jack" Armstrong, and sponsored by the regional travel giant, Harmon Travel.

The Fabulous Chancellors have been honored to work with, or open for some of the most famous recording artists in all of rock 'n' roll, including Merrilee Rush, Brian Hyland, Mark Lindsay, Paul Revere and the Raiders, The Tokens, The Diamonds, The Byrds, The Turtles, Gary Puckett and the Union Gap, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, Bill Haley's Original Comets, and Bill Pinkney's Original Drifters, in addition to many others.

Since the band's inception with Tom Lowe and Dale Rich in 1959, there have been over 30 musicians in the Chancellors’ fraternity. Despite personnel changes, the format and purpose of The Fabulous Chancellors has remained constant: to provide the best possible entertainment for each and every fan, and to keep the memories of good times rock 'n' roll alive and well.

The current lineup of The Fabulous Chancellors is: Ross Miller, Joe Baldassarre, Jamie Jensen, Jon McKay, Stephen Baldassarre and Chas Bauer.
