Twin Falls, ID 83301. William F. Keller William F. Keller, 82, of Twin Falls, passed away Sunday, Oct. 26, 1997, at BridgeView Estates.

He was born May 17, 1915, in Sacramento, Calif. On May 22, 1937, he married Dorothy Nelson. William was a World War veteran, having served in the Pacific. He was employed with Bank of America in California for 35 years and was a part owner of a building supply and lumber company for 10 years in Sacramento. His favorite hobby was panning for gold, and his favorite sport was golf.

He had been an avid golfer. He loved to travel with his wife; their favorite destination was Gold Beach, Ore. Survivors include his wife, Dorothy of Twin Falls; two children, Chris J. (Debbie) Keller of Twin Falls and William M. (Doris) Keller of Sacramento, five grand- resided at the Bruneau Hotel while Albert continued to work on the ranch.

During this time, Albert proved up on his homestead on Battle Creek in the Owyhee Mountains and they began to raise their family. They began to sell horses to the government for Army remounts in 1933. 3 He then began to buy cattle in 1941 while he continued to run horses. He traveled extensively in the Northwest, buying and trading cattle for many years. As times became more prosperous after World War Albert began to buy ranches to accommodate their growing livestock business.

Some of the ranches added during this time were the Gamble Ranch near Montello, and the pioneer Ranch near Bruneau. As Albert and Bonnie watched their family grow with the addition of many grandchildren, they suffered the staggering loss of their youngest son, Douglas, in a hunting accident in 1960. Albert continued to be active in the everyday life on a cattle ranch, including roping, riding, branding and irrigating. He was well respected for his knowledge of livestock and his exceptional roping skills. They lived on many of their ranches in their 70-year marriage, but no matter where they were, they were ready to put on a fine meal at a moment's notice.

Albert was actively involved in his community. He served on the local school board during the time that new grade schools were built in Bruneau and Grand View in 1958. They moved to the Hawes Ranch in the late 1960s and he spent the last productive years of this life doing what he loved best raising cattle, horses and grandkids. Albert was a director of the Owyhee County Cattlemen's Association, and 1979 was presented the Cattlemen's Honorary Life Member "Old Timers" award. He furnished the bucking stock for many years for the local rodeos and was honored to serve as Grand Marshall of the Bruneau Round-Up.

He was very proud that his children and many of his grandchildren followed in his family tradition of riding rough stock and roping. He followed closely the results of the grandkids' rodeos and ropings and traveled to Bruneau, Elko and Winnemucca as recently as last year to watch his grandkids and great-grandkids compete. Albert suffered a stroke in 1980, which led to the Blacks move to their house in Mountain Home. Many a letter was delivered to Albert and Bonnie addressed simply as "across from the hospital, Mountain Home, Idaho." As Albert's health deteriorated, he and Bonnie moved from their home of nearly 15 years to Cedar Crest Retirement Center, where they were treated like family. They treasured the many "guest" books that were filled with names over the years by family and friends.

He was especially proud of the trophy saddle won by a grandson that he displayed in his room for all to see. He lived a very full life of nearly 91 years. He is survived by his lifelong sweetheart, Bonnie of Mountain Home; a sister, Millie Alltucker of Sacramento, a brother, Paul Black and his wife, Mattie of Shoo Fly; a daughter, Virginia and her husband, Clarence Miller of North Fork, three sons, Joe and his wife. Margaret Black of Indian Cove, Asa and his wife, Marilyn Black, and Bob a and his wife.

Their birthdays pass unnoticed. Most haven't seen their children or families for several months. It's considered a privilege 1 to wear their own clothing, instead of a prison smock and loose-fitting pants. Many inmates are in the Pocatello Women's Correctional Center because they started smoking, drinking and doing drugs before they were teen-agers.

This was the message given to fifth- and sixth-graders from Greenacres Elementary School, who spent Tuesday morning touring the prison and hearing inmates tell their stories. It was part of Red Ribbon Week, a national anti drug campaign. Greenacres PTA committee chairwoman Diane Hulet organized the tour to show students first hand the consequences of drug use. "They hear, 'Just say no, just say but they don't hear why they should just say no," Hulet said. "They need to see the consequences."

Estelle Littlefield of Burley, 2 learn isn't a nice At the beginning of the hourlong tour, some students commented on how nice the prison seemed spotlessly clean, quiet and with friendly guards. But their attitudes changed as the tour continued. They were shown a restricted cell for inmates who cause problems.

There was no television, no radio and no talking was allowed. The only decoration was a stainless steel "mirror" on the wall. "They can't break that and use the glass to cut themselves or anyone else," a guard told the students. "I think I'd go crazy," sixthgrader Alison Meagher said. "They don't get any freedoms.

They don't even get to see their families." Aside from the sparse surroundings, students were told that inmates sometimes pick on and fight with each other. But talks by inmates drove the point home. The inmates' names aren't being used at the request of the prison. One woman started crying work toward representative for the ShoshoneBannock Tribes.

She's serving time on a drug conviction. She's due to have another baby in three weeks, but won't be able to spend time with him until she is released, which could be six more years. She said her drug use started with cigarette smoking and "drinking a little beer." Then she tried marijuana, and eventually harder drugs. The other woman, who is in prison for embezzling, echoed that. "The way people treat each other in here isn't good," she said.

"No one wants anyone to be happy, so they try to bring each other down." Sixth-grader Gabe Romero thought the prison looked nice when he first entered.
