Today is \u201cIdaho Day,\u201d the new holiday that commemorates the history and culture of the state; celebrations are planned from noon to 1 in the first and second floors of the Capitol rotunda. The Senate State Affairs Committee got into the Idaho Day spirit this morning with two measures: One from Rep. Linden Bateman, R-Idaho Falls, clarifying that Idaho Day is firmly fixed on March 4, and if that date falls on a weekend it\u2019ll be celebrated the Friday before or the Friday after; and the other a resolution from Rep. Hy Kloc, D-Boise, commemorating the 130th<\/sup> anniversary of the Statue of Liberty.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bateman told the committee that last year, 100 schools across the state recognized Idaho Day. \u201cWe expect to build upon that success this year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Committee Chairman Curt McKenzie, R-Nampa, alluded to the larger world as he asked Kloc to\u00a0present\u00a0his Statue of Liberty resolution, HCR 29<\/a>. \u201cI think this is particularly timely,\u201d<\/em> <\/strong>he said. \u201cIf you listen to any radio or see the news, there\u2019s thousands of refugees trying to get into Europe right now, stuck at the border of Greece in Macedonia. We here in this country \u2026 I think it\u2019s good for us as a nation to reflect upon our heritage.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Kloc said, “While there are many symbols that represent America, none are more recognizable than the flag and the Statue of Liberty.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> He\u00a0shared his personal connection to Lady Liberty, distributing the manifest of a ship that arrived in New York harbor on Oct. 18, 1949. Listed among the passengers: Shlomo Kloc. \u201cAfter the officer at Ellis Island got through with it, it was Sam \u2013 it became Sam Kloc, that\u2019s my father,\u201d he said. \u201cLuba became Libby, that\u2019s my mother. Yakov became Jack, that\u2019s my brother. And Hayim \u2026 that\u2019s me.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cYou wonder what we were doing on a ship in 1949 coming into New York Harbor,\u201d Kloc told the senators. \u201cWell, I was born in a displaced persons camp in Essen, Germany at the end of World War II. My parents and my brother were survivors of the Holocaust.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Other family members, including his older sister, weren\u2019t so fortunate. \u201c\u201dMy parents and my family lived in the camp for four years waiting to come to America,\u201d<\/em> <\/strong>Kloc said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne day when I was 2 years old, we found ourselves sailing into New York Harbor under the watchful eyes of the Statue of Liberty. My mother picked me up so I could see, and as she was pointing to the statue, she said, \u2018Look, America.\u2019 And so for me, that Statue of Liberty was always America. Everybody was standing at the railing singing and crying.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis resolution is a chance for all Idahoans to tell America how much we appreciate her and what she stands for,\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Kloc told the committee. The senators were moved, and unanimously endorsed the resolution, which states in part, \u201cTo all Americans the Statue of Liberty stands eternal as the symbol of the freedom which has been made a living reality in the United States for men and women of all races, creeds and national origins who have united in allegiance to the Constitution of the United States and to the imperishable ideals of our free society.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The resolution now moves to the full Senate for final passage; it has a long list of co-sponsors from both parties and both houses.<\/p>\n
