News Richfield Takes State Volleyball
Last Saturday, the Richfield Tiger Ladies had to play Lighthouse Christian twice to win the 1AD2 Volleyball Championship. In the third round of the tournament Richfield lost the first two set, then came back to win the match 3-2, sending Lighthouse to the second/third place match to play Dietrich. After losing their first game of the tournament, the Dietrich Blue Devils had to win three matches before meeting Lighthouse in a rematch of the district tournament. This time Lighthouse won the match 32 and went on to the championship game against Richfield. With the tight turn around between games, Lighthouse had little time to rest and Richfield took the championship game in three straight sets over Lighthouse Christian.

Vard Canara McHan, 76, was born in Fairfield, Idaho to Vance Canara and Essie Gunnell McHan on November 16, 1938. He passed away peacefully at his home on Wednesday October 28, 2015. He was raised on the Fairfield ranch until December 1943 when his family moved to Wendell.

Vard was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where he labored faithfully in many callings including Bishop of the Wendell 1st Ward, Branch President of the Fairfield Branch, and a member of the Wendell Stake presidency. He loved serving others, especially the widows and those in need. Vard is survived by his wife, Crystal, seven sons: Vance (Karen), Gooding; Cameron (Pamela), Rupert; Eric (Katrina), Gooding; Lance (Heather), Kuna; Ty, Gooding; Drue (Kristy), Kuna; and Adam (Heather) McHan, Kuna; and two daughters: Holly (Dan) Jeffers, Parma; and Robyn McHan, Richfield.

Have you ever had to use your own judgement to finish some work whereas you weren’t given any information to finish according to your supervisor’s wish? Upon your completion you were asked, “Why did you do this job the way you did it? It is not what I wanted.” Basically, you have become a member of the “Know Nothing Club.” Generally there are at least two people, including yourself, that are two steps below the “Know Nothing Club” entry level. At this level point you have to be given some information just to still know nothing. Zero knowledge is still zero knowledge. I have been at the position of the Know Nothing crew. I processed my information to do the job as given to me in the initial first instructions. And, of course, no one tells you of changes or “clued” you in as to the final approaches of the job at hand. I have been thinking I could start myself a business of Knowing Nothing. I could appoint myself CEO. Of course, I would need a manager so I could tell nothing to. Employees would follow. A secretary could work by not writing down business protocol, forget to pass on phone messages, and collect dues from all other members joining and not needing to know anything. The Know Nothing team is like mushroom growers only in the fact that you are stuck in the dark and dine on meals of manure, politely speaking. Or you could be like some of those fellows in weird cold resistant costumes on the dark side of the moon. They don’t see the light either. In the “Know Nothing Club” you could come home from visiting somewhere and find your whole family has moved and you knew nothing of the plans (sad circumstances). Where’s the info? With the rapid use of cellphones and the use of text, one would think that you would be on information overload and have to reject some of the information. It seems to me the old postal system with stamps and letters kept you more informed. At least you can process all that worthless information. Does the right hand know what the left hand is doing? Depends on whether they were sharing the same mitten, suggesting the thumb is universal. Maybe some people prefer not to know anything. It gives them a false sense of control. Or maybe they don’t have to exercise responsibility. To me, I’d rather be kept out of the dark and be in the “Know.” It enables me to do my job a little more efficiently. I can still take pride in what I do. I can use good judgement in finishing a task. I don’t have to second guess what’s happening or what’s going on. If you are one of those who are in the “Know Nothing Club,” I am trying to work things in your favor. For ten dollars you can join me for not knowing anything. Since I will be the CEO, I will not know where your money came from, I will not be able to tell you what I’m doing with your money, and I’ll give you what you expect - to Know Nothing. This is my “Cup of Tee” on hold to know. Tee Hurd

Or feel free to call or email: Dolores Chapman, President American Legion Auxiliary Unit 19 Fairfield, Idaho Phone: 208-764-2752 Email: dochapman@frontier.com When the early travelers crossed the Camas Prairie, they were surprised to find a series of chimneys near a stream. They were lava rock laid up without mortar. There were 16 or 16 of them about a half mile aprt. There was also evidence of irrigation. Through the years many have investigated but no one has discovered who built them, nor what happened to the builders. The only remaining fact that they ever existed is the name - Chimney Creek.

Simpson Supports Bipartisan Budget Agreement Bill Reduces Deficit, Protects our Military, and Prevents Catastrophic Default
Washington, D.C. – Idaho Congressman Mike Simpson today voted to support H.R. 1314, the Bipartisan Budget Agreement of 2015. In addition to preventing a catastrophic national default, this agreement achieves long-term savings through entitlement reform, delivers predictability and certainty to the appropriations process and the funding of our national defense, and repeals an onerous mandate put in place by Obamacare. H.R. 1314 is fully offset and does not increase taxes. “It is imperative that we act in the best interest of our nation by preventing a default on our national credit,” said Simpson. “To allow that to happen would be irresponsible at best and catastrophic at worst. Given that reality, I’m pleased that House and Senate leadership have reached an agreement that protects the budget cuts put in place by the sequester, but protects our military and domestic programs from its mindless cuts by replacing it with meaningful reforms in mandatory spending and other savings. This agreement reduces the deficit by nearly $80 billion over 10 years—which means that budget it keeps us on track to save taxpayers more than $2 TRILLION, as mandated by the original Budget Control Act. Recognizing that we have a responsibility to act on this issue, I believe this is a fiscally responsible agreement.” Among other provisions, the agreement would do the following: · Puts in place budget caps that are $56 billion below the Ryan budget for FY16 and $70 billion below the Ryan budget for FY17. · Ensures that the Social Security Disability Trust Fund—currently scheduled for a 20% reduction across the board at the end of next year— will be able to continue to pay full benefits; · Includes structural entitlement reforms to strengthen the long-term solvency of the Social Security program; · Replaces sequestration’s arbitrary, across-the-board cuts with more rational deficit reduction; · Eliminates Obamacare’s mandate that employees must enroll into their company’s health care plan; · Prevents a dramatic spike in Medicare Part B premiums for millions of seniors. “This bill isn’t perfect, and like others, I have concerns about the crop insurance provisions and the Medicare cuts to hospitals,” said Simpson. “But I realize that this agreement is necessary for the health and stability of our economy. This country has big problems, and the American people expect more from their elected officials than to sit on the sidelines and criticize everything that does not meet their ideologically pure standards. That’s easy. Solving problems—also known as governing—is hard work.” Despite the passage of this constructive agreement, Simpson believes Congress has considerable work ahead of it in further reducing the budget and eliminating the deficit. He remains a strong proponent of a Balanced Budget Amendment and is a leading advocate in Congress for reforming the tax code and entitlement programs to achieve real progress toward smaller, more efficient federal government.

Crapo Opposes Debt Ceiling Deal
Deal Diverts From Balanced Budget Path Established in Budget Resolution Washington, D.C. – Idaho Senator Mike Crapo will vote against a measure currently being considered by the Senate that will raise federal spending caps, as well as the debt ceiling. Final passage of the measure is expected in the early morning hours Friday. “This bill does almost nothing to establish long-term fiscal restraints necessary to balance the nation’s budget,” said Crapo. “Instead, this measure will enable continued, irresponsible government spending for the next two years, remove budget caps previously agreed to by the President and both houses of Congress, and use budgetary gimmicks to promise future savings in exchange for more spending today. Congress once again missed an opportunity to negotiate and enact real, responsible, fiscal reforms.” The measure, titled the “Bipartisan Budget Act” (H.R. 1317) will raise the federal debt ceiling through March of 2017, while at the same time, increasing federal spending by more than $80 billion over the same two-year period. “As a member of the Senate Budget Committee, I’ve expressed my continuing frustration about the inability of Congress to get to the second year of any budget it passes. Finally, earlier this year, after so many years without a budget under the previous Senate leadership, I welcomed the opportunity to vote for the budget resolution approved by this Congress, “ Crapo added. “Not only was this the first time Congress approved a budget resolution in five years, it was a budget that put us on a path to balance, without raising taxes, within 10 years. Regrettably, this measure being considered by the Senate will ensure that we fail to execute on that previously passed budget resolution. We cannot continue to fund our government through budgetary methods that mask the true picture of our fiscal reality while failing to enact real, meaningful spending and budget reforms.” The measure passed the House of Representatives Wednesday with a vote of 266-167, and is expected to be passed by the Senate and signed by the President.

Fairfield Ranger District Open House
The Fairfield Ranger District would like to invite the public to an open house to discuss an upcoming Forest health project in the Salt Creek/Bowns Creek and Fleck Summit area. The goals of the Salt Bowns Vegetation Management Project are: 1) to restore the declining health of the vegetation due to insect and disease infestations and the long term exclusion of fire; and 2) to reduce the amount of accumulated fuel, reducing the risk of a large, severe fire in the area. Representatives from the Fairfield Ranger District will be in attendance to talk to the public about the project’s objectives. The open house will be in Fairfield at the Camas County Senior Center from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. on November 12, 2015. The Senior Center is located at 129 Willow Ave West, Fairfield, Idaho. “It’s a great opportunity for the public to get involved with the planning process and discuss with Forest Service Staff working on the project how it should be carried out and implemented,” according to Mike Dettori, Fairfield District Ranger. “We encourage folks to come to the open house and share your suggestions and comments.” If you have any questions about the open house please contact Lyn Snoddy at 208-737-3246.
