Prescribed Fire Scheduled for Fairfield Ranger District FAIRFIELD, ID. . . . The Fairfield Ranger District, Sawtooth National Forest, is planning to implement a prescribed fire at the bottom portion of the Westside timber sale located near the mouth of Abbot Gulch and Log Chute Gulch.

The burn will treat approximately 75 acres of slash from the West Side timber sale which was completed in 2011. The benefits of this burn are: · To reduce slash and debris left from the timber sale · To help to improve the health of the ponderosa pine stand, which require cool, frequent fires to maintain a healthy stand · Reduce the number of seedlings and saplings that compete with the larger trees, promoting the growth of large, healthy timber stands · Reduce the chances of a large, stand replacing fire in the area by reducing the fuel loading Once conditions are right, we anticipate one to two days of burning activity.

Although there will be smoke in the area, primarily in the evening and morning hours, we anticipate the majority of smoke to travel to the south-east, away from local communities.

If you have any questions regarding this project please contact the Fairfield Ranger Station at 208-764-3202.

Fiddlers Benefit Dinner - April 27th This year’s Idaho State Fiddlers Championship will be held at the Gooding County Fairgrounds on June 29th. In preperation for that event, Fiddlers Inc. will be holding a funraising event this Saturday, April 27th, at the Gooding War Memorial Hall (3rd Avenue & Idaho Street).

Along with some great food, the benefit dinner will also feature nationally acclaimed western entertainer, Ernie Sites. Ernie (who grew up and learned his craft right here in southern Idaho) loves supporting organizations in the Gooding area including a recent performance at the Gooding Historical Society (check out his web site - www.erniesites.com).

Helping out with the entertainment will be a long time Idaho fiddler - Matt Renner from Hailey - who, if he isn’t scratching on his violin, is tirelessly promoting old-time fiddling in Idaho. Together, Mr. Sites and Mr. Renner, will entertain the benefit dinner attendees as they get the community excited about the upcome fiddle contest.

All of this is well worth the price of addmission - $18 per person - and there will be door prizes and a raffle drawing. Be sure to get your tickets by tomorrow - April 25th - from one of individuals listed on page 2.

This summer, all of our communities will be holding events to encourage you to visit. So, watch for things like the Lincoln County History Days (end of May), Camas Lily Days (first part of June), Hagerman’s “Blast in the Grass" Car & Art Show (September), and of course, county fairs and rodeos.

If just half the employed U.S. population spent $50 each month in independently owned stores, their purchases would generate $42,629,700,000 in revenue.* Imagine the positive impact if 3/4 of employed Americans did that.

...but never Compromising the Truth.

Cup of Tee

In the summer of 1865 the dinner party was hosted by Édouard René Lefèbvre de Laboulaye, and one of the greatest birthday gifts was to be revealed at the party.

It was a unique gift once given unknowingly would actually be presented to millions of people. The gift was to be presented in 1876 to the United States of America for its One Hundredth Birthday.

France, home of Laboulaye, should create something to honor America’s commitment to freedom and liberty. The United States had even shed its own blood against itself to the commitment to freedom. That gift would be a lighthouse that would illuminate liberty. Later, the decision was to change the lighthouse to a statue of great proportions.

Sculptor, Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi was chosen to create the statue and named “Liberty Enlightening the World.” The once free France was now under the dictatorship rule of Napoleon III. What could be a more driving force to create the “Statue of Liberty.”

While Laboulaye was politicing to raise money and support from the French to give this gift to America, Bartholdi was sent to the United States to gain support to create a joint effort and to secure reception of the gift to be. The United States was to build a pedestal for the French made statue to sit upon. He was amazed that after the horrors of the recent Civil War, the United States was rebuilding itself with work and liberty for all.

The Prussian-French war made the financing the statue very hard for the French. Consequently, the statue’s coming to the United States 100th Birthday found the statue not completed.

The hand and torch were on display at the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition in 1876. Funding from the United States was equally slow showing a lack of heart felt concentration. In 1878 the completed head was displayed in Paris at the Paris Universal Exposition (world fair).

In 1883, Laboulaye passed on not seeing his dream of a statue for which he risked so much to share with the “Land of the Free.” At this time the new Republic democracy of France rallied to support the slow effort of the statue, and with the acceptance by the United States on July 4, 1884, the statue truly became American and support then rose to great heights.

The statue was completed and erected in France in June 1884. Bartholdi had constructed the statue over and over with many smaller replicas. The 225 ton statue had found its final form through detailed wood lattice work, plaster forms, copper plating, and an ingenious infrastructure by Alexander Gustave Eiffel of the later Eiffel Tower fame.

On January 1, 1885, Bartholdi decided the statue was ready to be disassembled and sent to America via the French warship Isère. It arrived on June 17, 1886.

In the United States, the pedestal was going nowhere. Appeals to the rich failed and money was short. Joseph Pulitzer,

The Courier NEWS - 7 the publisher of the New York World newspaper, was angered that such a fine gift from France didn’t even have a place to land.

It wasn’t a gift from the millionaires of France, but from all the people of France, to all the people of America. Mr. Pulitzer asked to hear from the people of the United States and published the names of everyone who donated. People came forth with as little as 25 cents, but because of those people, the project was finished.

The Statue remains a monument dedicated to individual liberty, and the concept that all people are created equal and are endowed with certain rights that no government can take away.

This is my “Cup of Liber-Tee.”

Crowdfunding Do you have a project you’ve wanted to do for a long time, but just haven’t had the money? If it meets the right criteria, you could find a “crowdfunding” source that will help you complete your dream.

Crowdfunding is where you put your project (artistic, a good cause, or an invention) out for people to support you. While crowdfunding project usually give some sort of incentive for people to give, it is not the same as investing because there is no exchange of ownership.

The two big crowdfunding site on the internet are KickStart and Indiegogo, but there are a number of other site as well. Like anything that involves money, you have to be carefull, but this sort of funding might be your ticket to greatness.

For those of you give to a crowdfunding project, you might just find something incredable to support, and help someone fullfill their dreams.

As an example (and a shameless plug) Bronwyn Reagan has Indiegogo project for part of her trip to Thailand this summer. While this is mainly a mission trip with Global Expeditions, she also wants to share that experience when she gets back.

To learn more, go to www.Indiegogo.com and search for “The Silk Dress” and see her film-making campaign.

If you have an idea or a dream, check out crowdfunding. You’ve got nothing to loose, and everything to gain.

Gooding Relay For Life July 26th, 2013 Do you know anyone who has cancer, died of cancer, or survived cancer? Most of us do.

Relay For Life is a fundraising event for American Cancer Society that not only helps fight cancer, it is also fun way to celebrate and honor those who have battled this disease.

This event is put on by volunteers in your community who plan, organize, and make sure everything runs as smooth as possible. Over the next few months, members of the planning committee will be visiting with you and your neighbors to ask for your help. The goal is to spread the responsibilities over as many people as possible.

The actual event involves teams that walk, jog, or run, at the event site. The teams can also provide entertainment and food for the event. Participants form teams from their families, their businesses, their schools (students and/or teachers), their organizations, or any other group of people you can think of, and they compete to see which team can raise the most money.

The Gooding Relay For Life is open to teams from Camas, Gooding and Lincoln counties. So, start talking to your co-workers or family members about forming a team. For more information, go to www.relayforlife.org
