New Bleachers To Show Off Musher Pride
Fairfield’s Musher Pride Movement committee announced this week that they have met their Fall 2016 goal of raising $21,900 for new bleachers at the football field. This coming summer the old wooden bleachers will be replaced with a set of 40’ long metal bleachers that will better withstand harsh winters of Camas County, and will last for many generations to come. The MPM committee is very excited about reaching this goal. Board memeber, Chelsea Tupper, said, “First and foremost, we could not have done it without the loyal support and faith from all of those who made a gracious money contribution. We are so grateful and appreciative. Our Buy-A-Row fundraiser brought in $9,900.” She added, “We were also the proud recipients of two facility grants; $1,000 from Walmart and $10,000 from the Janice Seagrave’s Family Foundation, Inc. We are very thrilled and
humbled to have been chosen to receive both grants and will be forever thankful.” The MPM committee expressed special thanks to the Camas County School District, as well as the City of Fairfield, for all the support given to them during this process. The following donors assisted in making this community project a reality: Janice Seagrave’s Family Foundation, Inc. Walmart The Baer Family Vic and Jessica Weber Jim and Mary Kramer Ken and Bonnie Cox Wes and Mary Pat Fields Joe and Kay Hults Wood River Drilling and Pump, Inc. Dallas and Candice Smith Mark and Konni Freeman Vic and Pam Smith Claude and June Ballard Power Engineers Jones Construction Floyd and Dawn Crandall Bob and Jill Heffner Hugh and Afton Koonce George Borkow and Marliyn Volpe Ed and Sunnie Smith Nick Smith and Amaya Eiguern
Idaho Fish & Game Offer Special Hunt
In response to a wildfire that burned about 75 percent of the Tex Creek Wildlife Management Area near Idaho Falls, Idaho Fish and Game is offering special controlled hunts with 500 antlerless deer tags and 500 antlerless elk tags to be sold on a first-come, first-served basis at 10 a.m. (Mountain Time) on October 13th. The special deer season will run Nov. 10 through Nov. 30, and the elk season will run Nov. 17 through Nov. 30 in units 69-1X and 66-1X. Tags for these hunts are considered “extra” tags so hunters who have already
bought a tag can purchase one. There will be no tags sold online. Tags will be available at Fish and Game offices, businesses that sell licenses and tags, and by phone (with a credit or debit card) at (800) 554-8685. Fish and Game commissioners encourage parents and grandparents to get young hunters involved in these controlled hunts, which are a temporary and unexpected opportunity for antlerless hunts. The hunts will partly overlap the last 20 days of Hunt No. 1052 that runs Oct. 10 through Nov. 30.

Letters to the Editor To all residents of District 26, I ask you to vote for Alex Sutter for the open House seat B. It is time we have a Republican representing us again. Alex will work hard for our district and will be very adept at voicing our views in the legislature. Alex is not the kind of person that will sit back and listen only. He will stand up and make our views known. He is a strong conservative and has been given an A rating by the National Rifle Association. He served in the Army Reserve and Guard for ten years. Alex is a small business owner and will help keep Idaho a leader in small business and economic growth. He served on the Richfield P&Z for five years. He served on several non-profit organizations in Lincoln County including Boy Scouts of America and organized a successful blood drive for several years. He also believes in balancing choice, accountability, and responsible funding of Idaho schools. Alex served on the local school board for three years. It is time for the citizens of the rural areas of our district to get registered and vote. If you don’t vote you are letting other people decide who represents you in Lincoln County. Please check out his website at www.sutterforhouse.net. I also urge you to vote for Representative Steve Miller for House Seat A and Dale Ewersen for District 26 Senator. Thank you, Rusty Parker, Shoshone ------Dear Editor, Alex Sutter, candidate for House Seat B, supports giving parents and communities the best possible options for educating Idaho’s students. For Sutter, choice and accountability go hand-in-hand. He served on the Richfield School board and has sought the best education he could find for his four children, be it public schooling or private and/or home schooling. Sutter would like to help Idahoans get a good education that will benefit them their whole lives. Funding increases should be responsible, measured and follow an overall increase in tax revenues in the state. He thinks local school boards should have more options to put funds where needed. This flexibility and responsiveness is what can improve education in their home school districts. Parents look for those awe-hah moments in their children’s classrooms. Fostering life-time learners is the goal and we parents and educators can work together to make that happen. Julie Lynn, Ketchum
