In the past week, fall rains and snow at higher elevations have brought our area firmly into the range of average acumulated precipitation. While the past year was very dry (due mostly to the lack of snowpack), the recent rains may give our area a jumpstart for the coming water year (October 1st thru September 30th). The current forcast for the next three months is slightly higher than normal temperatures, while precipitation could go either way (NOAA). According the the Old Farmer’s Almanac we are in for a colder, snowier winter. So... you can take your pick.

New Librarian at Camas Schools
The Camas County School District has been busy making sure their students have access to the books they need. A newly remodeled main library, and a new children’s library have greatly expanded what they have to offer. The new school librarian, Shirley Cobble, was previously the librarian at Wendell High School. She commented on another library update. “Our school library card catalog can now be accessed through the Camas School District website.” In addition to the library updates, two reading clubs were started this school year. “We have 16 high school students in the club at this time. We have major events planned for each month and we meet bi-weekly on Mondays at lunch time in the library,” said Mrs. Cobble. 22 students are in the Junior High reading club and they meet twice a month at lunch time in the library. The Junior High club has many activities planned for the school year as well. High School Reading Club Officers: President Whitnee Hurless

Dennis Leon Knowles, a 65 year old former Carey, Idaho resident, passed away suddenly on Sunday, September 29, 2013 with his family by his side in Spokane, Washington. He was born on February 25, 1948 in Wendell, Idaho, the first born child of Leo Thomas and Gloria (Holt) Knowles, and attended schools in Shoshone, Idaho. He lived in Shoshone until moving to Carey in the 1970’s, where he continued to work for the Idaho Department of Transportation. He retired 10 years ago from IDT and continued living in Carey until he moved to Moses Lake, Washington this past year to live with his daughter and her family. Dennis was an avid hunter and fisherman. He enjoyed salmon and steelhead fishing along the Salmon River and trout fishing in the streams, creeks and reservoirs throughout the region. He loved hunting deer and elk all over the area’s sagebrush uplands and forested mountains and chased the elusive chukars across the foothills of Southern Idaho. His pickup and camp trailer could be seen parked at a fishing hole or a hunting spot during all four seasons of the year. Dennis loved the outdoors immensely and sought the peace and serenity he found there. He loved his time with his daughter, grandkids and son-inlaw and shared many of the same interests with them including hunting, fishing, camping, Dutch Oven cooking, Chipotle Tabasco Sauce and relentlessly teasing one another. It was a joyous occasion in his life when he moved from Carey to live with them. He will be missed by all who knew him. Dennis is survived by his mother Gloria Knowles, of Kimberly, Idaho; his “one in a million” daughter Jessie Lee (Dave) Pelham; and his two grandchildren, Ashlyn Lavon Hayes and Johnathan Randall Hayes, all of Moses Lake, Washington; his brother Ken (Ruth) Knowles, of Burley, Idaho; and his sister Debbie Keller, of Twin Falls, Idaho. He was preceded in death by his father Leo Knowles. A memorial graveside service will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, October 5, 2013 at the Shoshone Cemetery in Shoshone. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions in Dennis’ name be made to any lung or heart organization. Arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service – Shoshone Chapel. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting the obituary link at www.demarayfuneralservice.com.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has said SNAP (food stamps) is funded for another year. Q – Can I receive WIC benefits?

Sisterhood
The Courier News
October 2, 2013
Steve's Quick Service by Curtis Sittenfeld
If you aren’t interested in reading about women in the childbearing years, then you are better off skipping this novel. I don’t want to read about it, I don’t want to wallow in it, and yet I found myself reading Sisterhood cover to cover despite the subject matter. Which, by the way, is less about twin sisters with paranormal senses, than it is about how disconnected twin sister make messy lives in St. Louis. In my opinion the writing, which is clean, clear and unsentimental, saves this book as neither of the main characters are exactly fascinating, and the suburban setting is so boring I wanted to run outside just to smell sagebrush.. The sex scenes make me wish the old “fade to black” was more in fashion. Cole Porter said it best, “birds do it, bees do it, even educated fleas do it”, so why do I have to read the details about it? But it is the beautifully crafted details of everyday life, and how this woman understands not just what is said to her, but what is not said to her, that draw the reader into the story. And Ms. Skittenfeld does a good job of building anticipation for the “big event” which is how I managed to get through this novel from cover to cover. Future historians may blow the dust off the cover of this novel and say, “Here’s is an example of how middle class, middle aged, from middle America, spent their lives.” And I don’t think they’d be wrong.

A pun is a good type of humor. Years ago when I still had my hand holding mate, I was caught up in a businesses’ pun that wasn’t humorous. She was going into the beauty shop to cut off her long hair. I knew this would be hard so I thought I’d send some flowers. I asked her where she was going to trim her hair. She said to me “Curl up and die”. I said “You don’t have to get mad about it, but where are you going to trim your hair?” “Curl up and die” was the answer again. Now I thought she HOURS was being really sensitive so I said ok and left it at that. Monday 12:30 to 8 Thursday 10 to 5:30 Then I called her mother and asked where her daughTue, Wed & Fri 12:30 to 5:30 ter was getting her hair trimmed. “Curl up and die,” was 607 Soldier Road, Fairfield ~ 764–2553 the answer.
