News November Elections
This Friday, October 27th, will be the first of two Townhall meetings for the Gooding Fire District to be held at the Gooding Fire Department building (422 Idaho Street) from 7 to 9 p.m. These meetings will provide information regarding two ballot items that will (if approved) combine the Gooding Fire Department and the Rural Fire District into one entity. To fund the new Gooding Fire District, a consolidated tax levy will be needed with the resulting rate being slightly higher than the current ones. In addition to the need for a new building with safer and faster access to highways 46 and 26, a single entity would open up more opportunities for grants. The ultimate goal is to improve the department’s ability to prevent and respond to fires in the Gooding area. “Becoming a District allows us, as a whole, to grow and move forward!” said Chief Covey. “The fire service is too dangerous to be stagnant in. We need to be ahead of the game in training and equipment. This allows us to do the best we can to prevent fires and to respond and mitigate the emergencies that are inevitable. We care for our community and you as citizen, family, and friends.” As a reminder, a few of the fire department officers are paid, but the majority of our Gooding firefighters volunteer their time for the training they need to fight fires. If you miss this Friday’s Townhall meeting, a second one will be held on November 3rd, same place and same time. ---- In Lincoln County, Richfield and Shoshone both have contested races for the November 7th election. Five individuals are running for the two open seats on the Richfield City Council. Levi Long, Mark Whitesell, and Tammy Wayment are running for the seats held by Daniel Ward and Ron Holland. In Shoshone, Sharon Pennington is running against Daniel Pierson for Mayor. Tammy Swanner and Payson Reese are unopposed. In Dietrich, because she missed the filing deadline, Connie Anderson is running uncontested for her position on city council as a write-in. There is also a contested race for Lincoln County Recreation District, seat #1. Danny Logan is running against Kathy March the incumbent.

Musher Girls Soccer Teams Close Out Exciting Season
It was 20 degrees at kickoff Saturday for the first game of a double header for the fifth and sixth grade Musher girls soccer team. Though hard running work in practice had the girls as fresh at the final whistle of the season as they were at the first, the cold slowed their start. Due to a scheduling issue, the girls faced a combination of two teams; the Mushers dubbed this mega team the ”Snapping Narwals.” In the first game, while waves of opposing team subs did not phase the team, some headwork errors did. They fell behind twice, but came back each time with Harley Brown and Gigi Weber tying the score. Their most lackluster performance of the season ended tied 2-2. The second game started out better than the first. Miscues, however, had the team down 2 nil at the half; the Mushers were in a dogfight. An early mistake at the start of the second half portended collapse as the Snapping Narwals increased their lead to 3-0. Digging deep, the team responded with a goal by Harley. The girls’ relentless pressure pounded the opposing defense which, through outstanding goalkeeping, refused to yield. Finally, late in the half Gigi narrowed the score to 3-2 with a smash that found its target in the upper right corner. The Mushers continued their daunting attack, and got the equalizer in the final minutes from star defender, Tiana Bojorquez. Their season’s finest performance ended tied 3-3. The third and fourth grade Mushers also turned in a season best performance, blanking the Orange Monsters 5 nil in their final game. Once again, net minders Kenley Olsen and Hannah Swenson combined for the shutout. Captain Anna Botz left no doubt to the outcome of the game with her precise defensive positioning while netting two goals. Charlie Lee and Kenley added two more scores. The Mushers enjoyed having a substitute in the form of standout second-grader Ivy Ashmead who was brought up for the game. Ivy made an immediate positive impact for the team, nabbing a goal in the process. Congratulations on a great season, Mushers!
from the Editor
How do newspapers survive in a world of profound disinterest? In 1887, William Randolph Hearst took over the San Francisco Examiner. Following the example of Joseph Pulitzer’s New York World, Hearst filled the Examiner with pictures, games, contests, and crime stories. For both Pulitzer and Hearst, the goal was to make their newspapers entertaining. Then, in 1895, Hearst purchased a penny paper called the New York Journal. He found that the larger his circulation, the more willing businesses were to advertise. He kept the copy price of the Journal at one cent and soon Hearst was not only taking circulation away from Pulitzer, he was taking employees as well. Over the next several years, the battle for readers and advertisers between Pulitzer and Hearst became the pentacle of “Yellow Journalism.” Over-the-top sensational stories of all kinds filled the front pages of the two newspapers with BOLD HEADLINES, Imaginary Drawing, and full color printing. Yellow journalism was noted for using fake interviews, misleading headlines, and promoting pseudoscience. If any of that sounds familiar, it’s because news media has come full circle to the days Hearst and Pulitzer. We call it Fake News. Just as it was a hundred years ago, the goal of this type of “journalism” is to increase circulation - or in today’s terms, increase viewers - and more circulation/viewers means more advertising, which is the bedrock of revenue for news organizations. Unfortunately, advertising revenue is rapidly disappearing as businesses are more and more using the internet to inform people about their products. Up until a couple of decades ago, newspapers were the best value in advertising. They were (and are) cheaper than radio and TV, and they deliver advertising to specific/local populations. With the advent of the internet, newspapers now have to compete with something that is essentially free, or the equivalent of a penny paper. Newspapers must change... but how? continued next week...

Bob W. Gill
All menus are subject to change without notice.
Bob W. Gill, 80, a resident of Gooding, passed away on Wednesday, October 18, 2017 at the Twin Falls Care Center in Twin Falls. Bob was born at the “rock house” in Fairfield, Idaho on October 11, 1937. Bob was the eldest of two sons of Glenn W. And Edna I. Gill. Growing up and attending school on the Camas Prairie, dad developed his love of being a cowboy and riding bucking horses. Bob had success at bronc riding at several of the local rodeos across Southern Idaho. Bucking horses had to take a backseat when he met the love of his life, Georgia Salisbury, whom he married at the church in King Hill, Idaho on June 3, 1956. Bob and “George” had three boys, Don, Ron and Jon, and worked at various ranches and tried their hand at having a dairy farm in Gooding for a few years, until Bob got a job running the Bar Five Ranch on Clover Creek in Bliss for Art and Jack Linkletter. This was at a time when all the boys were old enough to join in on all the work on the ranch. Summers were spent first at Charley Camp then on to Hunter Creek as the cows were moved to summer pasture. A novel could be written on the stories that could be told about Bob and his boys and their cowboy adventures. Days off were either spent at a team roping or on a family trip in the ranch’s ol’ green Ford, and I swear Dad’s motto was “don’t turn back until you’re stuck, broke down, or both”. After the boys graduated and moved on, Bob and Georgia moved to the Stanley Basin where he worked for the Forest Service until his retirement, when they moved back to Gooding. Bob had many loves including fly-fishing, flying, his dog Sam, and until his arms couldn’t take it anymore, being a self-taught silversmith. Dad loved his wife, grandkids and family, his dog Sam, and pizza night. Even though he faced many adversities in life including the loss of his sight, Georgia, and his own health, he never complained. We’re going to miss you Dad. A graveside service will be held on Friday, October 27, 2017 at 2 p.m. at the Elmwood Cemetery in Gooding. A viewing will be held on Thursday from 4 to 6 p.m. at Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel. Visit the obituary link at www.demarayfuneralservice.com.

Cup of Tee
This year’s corn chopping (silage) season is coming to a close. The weather of 2017 has made our season interesting. A late winter spurred a late spring. It seems like each season has been in the same domino effect. During the chopping of corn, there has been plenty of mud. While chopping in Jordan Valley, Oregon, mud slowed our production immensely. We would start to chop at one end of the field and have to pull the truck out. Then in the middle of the same row we would pull the truck again. And, at the end of the row, the truck would be loaded and have to be pulled out the last 30 feet. Each time a truck was stuck, an empty one would pull past the stuck one to be in line to keep the chopping of corn going. The tractor would pull out the stuck truck and it would be back in line to finish loading. This leap frog process kept the tractor driver very busy. I got to take my turn at the tractor’s office (seat) to pull trucks. I was in and out of the tractor so many times hooking chains I thought I was following myself. I buried the truck I was driving to the frame. The chopper and the tractor hooked together couldn’t budge me. I unloaded the load of silage in the field trying to lighten the stuck truck - that changed nothing. We finally had to get a cable and pulley from the neighbors. A loader and the tractor did a deadman reduction (pulley) type pull. Finally, my truck was lifted from the mud. Needless to say, a couple of other trucks had to be pulled out with the same system.

The chopper itself wasn’t free from being stuck. We all got our share of the “Stuck in the Mud” process - harvest has to keep rolling. There is a fine timeline when corn and other feeds need to be processed. It can become overripe, lose nutrients, or lose volume. If mud doesn’t get you, the mud’s buddy “Frost” takes the second shift and amplifies the devastation of the crop. As I think of the mud during harvest, I’m reminded of the “Mud Days” in Fairfield. Most all of the streets are dirt roads. Rain, snow, thaws, all keep the streets either dusty, muddy, or snow covered. The “mud season” primarily speaking of the Spring Thaw, creates a world of mud issues. How many times has one’s mom said, “Wipe your feet!!” That is after you have crossed a grate to drop mud, a boot scraper, and two outside throw rugs. You end up taking off your shoes, but your pants are knee deep. Vacuum cleaners life spans are short and broom bristles are as well. Driving is yet another set of actions in its own. With the freezing and thawing the roads are like roller coasters jerking everyone from side to side while maintaining movement. The vehicle from Camas County all end up the same color (mud dried) creating a high desert camouflage. When a different colored car comes around we can say, “You are obviously not from around here.” Many mud expressions could have originated from Fairfield. Join me next week as I bring up a few. This is my “Cup of Tee” mired.
