Write-in Campaigns for General Election This the year for write-in campaigns in Lincoln and Camas counties. Write-in candidates usually have a hard time winning elections, but the circumstances of two commissioner races are unusual. In the Primary Election, Janet Croner (the current commissioner for Camas County’s District 2) lost the Republican nomination for that position (135 to 165) to Ron Chapman. With the close results and less than half of the registered voters (43%) turning out for the Primary, Mrs. Croner has mounted a write-in campaign in order to give unaffiliated voters in Camas County the opportunity to affect the outcome. Mr. Chapman’s name will be on the ballot, but those wanting to vote for Mrs. Croner will have to write-in her name. The District 2 Commissioner in Lincoln County, Marsha Hiatt, decided not to run for re-election earlier this year. The timing of that decision, however, was such that no one filed for the primary election, meaning there will be no names on the general election ballot for that position. Three write-in candidates have since filed for the L.C. District 2 Commissioner race - Rebecca Wood, Robert Newey, and Jessica Scott (photos). Rebecca Wood recently opened up a new business in Richfield - Off the Grid and is concerned about economic development in the Richfield area. 15 miles might not seem like that far, but when everyone drives into Shoshone for gas, it is a drain
on the community as well as a safety hazard when those travelers are young drivers. Robert Newey (who just had a new baby girl) works at Intermountain Financial Services in Shoshone. Many of our young people go away to college and while many of them would like to live in our small communities, there few opportunities to make a living. Mr. Newey wants to make sure everyone has the opportunity to live and work in Lincoln County. Jessica Scott, the fourth grade teacher at the Richfield School District, wants to make sure the county is fiscally responsible and that tax dollars are being put to their best use. She also believes that people at every level of government need to be involved in making our public education system the best it can be. All three of these candidates agree that the future of Lincoln County is in the hand of our young people, but only if they have local job opportunities. Next week we will cover the other two commissioner races: Lincoln County’s District 1 race between Cresley McConnell and Keo Kelly; and Gooding County’s Second District race between David Maestas and Mark Bolduc.

Shoshone Volleyball Player Raises Money for Breast Cancer Prevention
Breast cancer has had an impact on Shoshone junior Katy Fitzgerald’s life. Her grandmother died of this disease long before Fitzgerald had a chance to meet her and currently her aunt is fighting the same disease. When HOBY (Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership seminar) challenged her last summer to make a difference in her community Fitzgerald knew exactly what she wanted to do. This Thursday, Fitzgerald is asking Shoshone Indian volleyball fans to help her meet her goals. Fitzgerald has established a fund called Money for Mammograms through Lincoln County Community Health. Once the fund is established, Fitzgerald will make it available for Lincoln County residents who need preventive breast cancer care but could otherwise not afford it. “Breast cancer has impacted my family and friends, I wanted to make a positive influence in my community and this fund will help me accomplish just that,” Fitzgerald said. Donations for the fund will be taken at the door and paper volleyballs that can be personalized will be for sale for $5 and displayed in Shoshone’s gym. A few items will also be for sale at a silent auction. Fans can then attend a tri-match volleyball game between Shoshone, Butte County, and Oakley. The event starts at 5 p.m. in the Shoshone High gym. This is the first of several events Fitzgerald has planned to raise both awareness and money for breast cancer prevention in her community. For more information contact Fitzgerald at Shoshone High School at 886-2338. For more information on HOBY goto their website www.hoby.org

Jerry Ray Sturgeon was born in Gooding, Idaho on July 2, 1944 to LaVaughn Fred (Mickey) Sturgeon and Esther Meyer. He passed away peacefully Friday evening September 26, 2014 at his home in Shoshone. During his growing up years, his family lived in and around Shoshone except for 2 years in Gooding. He was reared on farms and ranches in north Shoshone where he developed his love of horses. He attended school in Shoshone and graduated from Shoshone High School in 1963 and shortly thereafter served approximately 28 months in South Vietnam. On March 18, 1967 he married the love of his life, a cute little blond from Washington State. This year they celebrated their 47th wedding anniversary. To this union was born two children, Cheri Anne on September 17, 1967 and Jared James LaVaughn on July 9, 1971. They began their married life in Washington where he was employed setting chok-
ers and driving a logging truck, but he missed the wide open plains of southern Idaho and they returned in 1968 where he was employed by the Idaho Transportation department as a maintenance man in Arco. A little over a year later he transferred to Burley for a while and then to the Special Maintenance crew out of Shoshone. While with the special maintenance crew he traveled all over the district seal coating roads in the summer and plowing snow in the winter. Jerry loved to operate equipment and was very good at it. He loved his truck and probably had the cleanest most well maintained truck in the fleet and he took care of his personal equipment just as meticulously. He took great pride in watching out for the traveling public and getting the job done correctly. Jerry worked for the ITD for 33 years retiring in 2001. He and Carole bought a home in Shoshone in 1972, where they lived for about 19 years after which they purchased 50 acres east of town where they could have a place for horses. They spent many hours working with the horses and many weekends with his dad moving cattle from one allotment to another in the foothills north of Shoshone; loving every minute of it. They loved to bowl and spent many enjoyable hours
with lifelong friends they had made on bowling leagues and tournaments all over the State. His name is still on the wall of Mountain View Lanes in Shoshone and also in Jerome for high scores. He came close to a perfect game in 1997 when he rolled a 297. We loved him and he will certainly be missed! He is survived by his wife Carole, a daughter Cheri and a son Jared (Patti); six grandchildren: Jamie, Zachary, Phillip, Andrew, MaKenzie and Lili; one great grandson Ryker; two sisters, Penny (Dave) Swarner and Audrey Dean; and two brothers, Larry (Dana) and Bill (Jane). He was preceded in death by his parents and a sister, Peggy, with whom he shared birthdays, she being 14 years younger. Services were held on October 4, 2014, at Demaray’s Shoshone Chapel. Interment followed at the Shoshone Cemetery. The family would like to thank the staff of Hospice Visions, Inc. for their kind, gentle and loving care of Jerry at a very difficult time in our lives. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!

obituary Myrle Lois Leach
Myrle Lois Leach was born July 27, 1929 to Oscar “Bud” and Ethel Clifford Smith at the family home in Hagerman, Idaho. She attended Hagerman Elementary School and graduated from Bliss High School in 1947. Myrle married Dan Leach in 1950 in Elko, Nevada and they raised 5 children on their farm north of Bliss. Dan passed away in 1981. She married Cal Eckles in 1983. While attending Bliss High School she played on the girls’ championship basketball team. Her father was extremely proud of her talent and athleticism. As a teenager Myrle enjoyed working with her father doing custom threshing. They used a stationary machine, moving it from field to field. Her father rewarded her hard work by paying for flying lessons and she flew a solo flight from the airport at 1000 Springs at age 16. When she was 17, she shot a 6 point bull elk on Trinity Mountain while on a family hunting trip. Myrle attended Idaho State College, and later enrolled in Albion Normal in preparation to teach at Clover Creek, Mt. Home, Hagerman, Bliss, Three Creek and the Idaho State School for the Deaf and Blind. She was an innovative teacher, using teaching strategies that were not commonly used at that time. While teaching 8th grade at Hagerman she developed a dark room for photography and for one of her classes she arranged an airplane flight. If there was a child struggling to learn, she would arrive early, stay late and work with him/her to introduce the material that would be taught in the classroom the following day. This was a confidence builder for the student and provided an opportunity for student success. Her teaching skills were also evident on the basketball court. She coached the Hagerman High School basketball team to a District Championship. At the age of 8, Myrle discovered her passion for tap dancing and convinced her parents to pay the 35 cents

per lesson. Throughout her lifetime she taught dance to both children and adults. At age 83 she was still teaching dance lessons in her home. In 1997 she won first place in an “I Love Dance” competition in Ogden, Utah, which qualified her for the national competition in New York City at the Marriott Marquis Hotel where she was able to dance on Broadway. Myrle was highly creative and enjoyed designing unique projects. One of her favorites was painting rocks to create unusual characters and animals, an activity that her grandchildren looked forward to when they visited their grandmother. Before her death on September 29, 2014, her final months were spent at Stonebridge Care Center in Hagerman where she received personalized care in a friendly, homelike setting. Shannon at Encompass Hospice provided professional, compassionate service with an emphasis on family communication. The family would like to recognize both organizations for the services they provided. The family would also like to thank Jean Maxwell, a lifelong friend, who visited frequently and supplied Myrle with homemade meals prior to her move to Stonebridge. Myrle is survived by her son, Joe (Vicki); the twins, Ron and Rhonda Morris (Howard); two sisters, Pat Banning and Vernita Talbott (Ted); and a brother, Laurence. Her family also includes 7 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. Myrle was preceded in death by her parents, Bud and Ethel; her husband, Dan; a daughter, Nancy Dawn; a son, Gary; an infant sister, Glenna Marie; and two brothers, Maurice “Mutt” and Howard “Shorty” Smith. At Myrle’s request there will be no formal funeral service. Cremation will be under the direction of Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel. Contributions may be sent to the Honor and Memorial Program at the Huntsman Cancer Institute in her memory: Huntsman Cancer Institute, 500 Huntsman Way, Salt Lake City, UT 84108.

Years ago my friend, Jim Super, use to be in the outfitter business. He did the horse ride and hunt type of thing. In addition, he ran a wagon train from Fairfield though the hills to end up in Sun Valley for the All Equestrian parade during Wagon Days. I accompanied Jim for many years during his wagon train, and gave myself the position of Social Director. Of course, this position was self-appointed. Jim and I usually slept under a wagon so we could tend to loose horses or such in the middle of the night if needed. After Jim sold his wagon we were able to use the horse trailer that we transported stuff with to shelter up. Sometimes you’re almost better off to sleep outside. The old horse trailer was pretty cold and sweated with condensation. Once one of the wagoneers brought a tee-pee type tent (we were allowed to use it). There was one pole in the center and four tent stakes for installation. It was quick to set up and pretty comfortable. Unlike the pup tent some of the people brought, there was a little room inside. I know now why they are called pup tents - a full grown dog couldn’t sleep in one and wag his tail without being half way out of the tent. A few wagoneers brought a tent that was basically like a sleeping cot with a tent over it. Jokingly, we called them coffin tents. They were sort of like the sleep bed Michael Jackson (the singer) slept in. I guess they served a purpose because the people woke-up fully rested (unlike the rest of us with swollen eyes from staying up all night beating mosquitoes). Being the social director I was sort of in charge of activities. You had to stay up late at night and rise early in the morning to be sure pranks weren’t pulled on you. One night when Jim and I set up a tent and fell fast asleep to ready ourselves for the next day’s work. Outfitter Jim wakes me up by saying, “Tee... Tee wake up. Look at the sky and tell me what you see!” I was sure hoping there were no horses loose. Once my eyes opened I said, “I see millions of stars.” “What does that tell you?” asked Jim. I pondered for a moment and said, “Time wise it appears to be about three-fifteen. Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically speaking, it tells me that Saturn is a Leo. Theologically, it’s evident the Lord is all powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will have beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you, Jim?” Jim is silent for a second, then speaks, “Tee, you silly, someone has stolen our tent.” This is my “Cup of Tee” deciding on a wigwam or teepee, too tents (tense) to sleep.

Classes at CSI Northside Center 202 14th Ave. E. ~ Gooding
(208) 934-8678 or (208) 732-6442 The College of Southern Idaho’s North Side Community Education Center is offering a K-9 Good Citizen course on Wednesdays, October 15-November 19 at the Lincoln County Community Center in Shoshone form 6:30-7:30 pm. The registration fee is $75, which includes a special AKC Good Canine dog tag upon completion. In K-9 Good Citizen, participants and their dogs will learn to be well-respected members of our community. AKC Good Citizen training promotes good manners and sets the foundation for other areas of training such as obedience, agility, and performance. Some of the abilities taught in this course include coming when called, walking through crowds, sitting and staying, and positive reactions to distraction. Proof of vaccinations, a leash, and collar are required. The College of Southern Idaho’s North Side Community Education Center is offering two whole foods nutrition workshops, Naturally Sweet on Tuesday, October 14 and How to Feed a Vegan on Tuesday, October 21, at Hagerman Natural Foods in Hagerman. Both workshops are from 6-8 pm and the registration fee for either is $10. American sugar consumption has skyrocketed since the Industrial Revolution began. What used to be considered white gold is now consumed in enormous quantities. We all know that “too much sugar is not good for us” and the challenge of finding healthy desserts without sacrificing flavor is often nearly impossible. In Naturally Sweet, attendees will learn alternative sweeteners and get ideas for how to implement a lower-sugar diet into your life while still enjoying your foods. Becoming a vegetarian or vegan is much more than just omitting meat and dairy. In this workshop, participants will learn practical ways to change a “standard American diet” into a healthier, more sustainable one. This class will include some great recipes to substitute meat and dairy products, according to your individual needs.
U-PICK GARDEN!
Watch for the banner in front of the USDA building (820 Main Street in Gooding) and visit the Soil Conservation District’s UPick garden.

Chinook Jacks w/Adipose Fins Must be Released
Fish and Game has received numerous calls regarding the rules for keeping fall Chinook salmon. Apparently there is some confusion among anglers who are under the impression that fall Chinook jacks (those less than 24 inches) can be kept even if they have an adipose fin. This is definitely not the case. Regardless of size, any Chinook salmon taken during any season in Idaho must have a clipped adipose fin (as evidenced by a healed scar). Anglers encountering others who illegally retain salmon with adipose fins are encouraged to contact Citizens Against Poaching at 800-632-5999. You may remain anonymous.
