Eames. “It is our goal to partner with teachers and parents to encourage students to do their very best in school.” Pays for A’s is open to all Utah and Idaho students ages 12 to 18.

They’ll receive $1 per “A” deposited into their savings account, or 50 cents per “A” if they opt for cash.

Memorial Day in the Forest
The Sawtooth National Forest would like to encourage everyone to get out this Memorial Day holiday weekend and enjoy your National Forest. People planning on recreating on the Sawtooth National Forest over the Memorial Day holiday weekend will find a number of facilities open and operating; however, due to the lingering snowpack at the higher elevations a number of roads and trails will be closed. Visitors should avoid driving or riding on muddy roads and trails to avoid damaging the running surface. The Forest has had an above average snowpack and flooding is occurring in most areas of the Forest. Do not drive past a road closure sign, these signs are in place due to a road, bridge or culvert washout. Conditions are changing daily so we encourage you to check with your local Forest Service office for current road and trail conditions. Many campsites are first come-first serve, but other campsites can be reserved in advance. These sites can be reserved at www.Recreation.gov or by phone at 1-877-444-6777. Visitors to the Sawtooth National Forest are encouraged to bring their own drinking water and be prepared to haul their trash back home. Even though many of the developed campgrounds will be open; there may be sites that do not have full service. Be advised, there are Road Closures in effect on the Sawtooth National Recreation Area and the Fairfield Ranger District. For those Closures you can go to fs.usda.gov/Sawtooth. For current conditions, call 208727-5000 (SNRA) or 208-764-3202 (Fairfield Ranger District).

Cup of Tee
© Once again it is time for high school graduates to go on to further education, join the work force, or to ponder life’s next step. One thing for certain, the graduates will experience yet another beginning in life’s process. High school doesn’t end but is merely a stepladder which goes up and forward, and not backwards. What would I write for graduates that I may not have expressed in past “Cups of Tee”? That is a good question. Currently, as I view things, health probably should be at the top of the list. Years ago I was a little younger, bulletproof, and didn’t think about health. Now that I’m a couple of days older, I tend to see how important your health is. You can achieve wealth if you have health, but wealth will do you no good if you don’t have the health to use it. Health helps you stay stable, reach for desired goals, share blessings, enjoy family, and live your life to the fullest. Many health concerns as you get older could have been avoided if a healthy health regiment was practiced. A common saying is, “It takes a long time to grow an old friend.” Insure that health is your old friend (preventative maintenance). I think another thought would be, “Don’t lie to yourself.” That sounds a little odd, I know. Noone would intentionally lie to themselves. Lying to oneself is saying you are going to do something and you don’t get it done. If you have an idea you truly want to do, go after it. That means setting goals and following the goal until you reach it. Small goals along the way serve as treats to keep

you going. So many of us spend a life-time searching for or trying to do what we want, but not following through. Regrets never fill up a cup. If you lie to yourself, you actually lie to others. No one intends to lie to others. Each job you do, hire yourself to be the boss. For instance, if you drive truck, hire yourself for that job. Each position around your job is filled to work for it. You need bosses to get things organized, secretaries to follow the paper trail or computer work, salespeople to sell stuff you may deliver as your driving job (hands to build the loads you haul, etc). If you are a boss, no matter what your position is, you see waste as being 50 or 100 bills out of your pocket. You basically have a say in your work process. Be proud of your job and have a greater understanding of your job’s responsibilities. The only time you really make any real money is when you save money. The rest of the money earned and spent is your rent space in life. They say the “golden years.” It was actually said by an older person, “You need a lot of gold in them years.” Another older person being hard of hearing thought they said, “It will be the golden years.” Study your spending habits and try to save where you can. It’s a lot better to acquire your retirement in 40 years than it is in five (health thing again). Thank you’s go a long way. We often don’t tell people thanks for the things they have done. A written note, a phone call, or an email serve well. Graduates... I may not get to thank you for your accomplishments. So, I will do them in advance. This is my “Cup of Tee” with a written thanks.

Mary Lucile Stevens Bickett
Mary Lucile Stevens Bickett, 103 years of age, passed away on Wednesday, May 10, 2017 at Stonebridge Assisted Living in Wendell. Lucile was born on January 18, 1914 in Marley, Idaho, a small community west of Richfield, Idaho, to Walter and Grace Crowther Stevens. She attended the one room school in Marley and graduated from the 8th grade. After staying home to help the family for a year she started high school in Richfield and graduated in 1933. Lucile’s mother suffered a severe heart attack in 1926. Lucile assumed the household duties for the family of father, mother and six siblings. Her mother died 1930. Lucile has had a life-long love affair with horses. She drove a horse and buggy to grade school with her younger brothers and sisters. During the winter, she would drive a team of horses pulling a covered bobsled to high school, picking up other students on the way. In the spring and fall she would ride on horseback. Horse races at local fairs in surrounding communities were very popular. Lucile entered her first race at the 1928 4th of July celebration in Richfield where she and her cousin ran the quarter mile race down the main street. She was riding a horse that one of her competitors said “couldn’t outrun a cow!” Lucile and her cousin finished first and second! Lucile entered a race at the Shoshone fair. During the race her horse jumped the track, reared and tossed her. Her father caught the horse and put her back on. He insisted she finish by riding past the grandstand. She was the only girl to start the race and did ride across the finish line. A man stepped out of the crowd and gave her a silver dollar! Lucile met Harvey Bickett at her senior prom. Harvey was a farmer/rancher from Dietrich, Idaho. He was a widower with three small children living at home. They courted through the winter and summer and married October 1, 1933. They honeymooned on a deer hunting trip, with horses, on the Rapid River. Upon returning from the honeymoon, she assumed the household duties for her new husband and three small children. They farmed in Dietrich and raised sheep on grazing rights from the BLM and Forest Service. They acquired grazing property near Gannett, Idaho. They sold the Dietrich farm and sheep in 1947 and moved to Gooding. They then developed the Gannet property into a farm. After World War II, riding clubs were organized all over the country and Lucile was a founding member of the Shoshone Riding Club. She rode in parades and competed against other clubs in jamboree events. In 1949 she entered her first major event which was held by the American Horse Show Association, winning a trophy in trail class. She was in 7th heaven! In 1990 she was the Grand Marshall of the Gooding County Fair parade.
death & service notices
News@Highway46.org • Wednesday, May 24, 2017 • The Courier NEWS
Lucile took up horse jumping, both as a trainer and rider, in 1955 at age 42. She competed in the Intermountain Horse Show Association which promoted events in Idaho, Utah, Montana and Nevada. She won many trophies and ribbons on horses she trained. From the ribbons, she made two bedspreads and matching curtains that are now on display at the Gooding Historical Society museum. She wrote four books covering her horses, parental family, husband’s family and her family after marriage. During the winter, Harvey and Lucile traveled by automobile, sightseeing in Idaho, Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Canada and Mexico. By plane, they traveled to Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand, Egypt, Kenya and Greece. After Harvey’s death in 1979, Lucile continued to travel and visited all seven continents and the major attractions in the United States. She has traveled by car, truck, bus, train, plane, ship, steam boat and horse. Lucile’s riding friend moved to from Shoshone to Texas and invited her to ride in Big Bend National Park. That started a series of rides in Texas, Arizona, Colorado and Australia. Starting in 2000, Lucile spent winters riding daily at Circle Z Ranch and Flying E Ranch until age 95. She was joined on some of these stays by her sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren. In 1964, Lucile’s son Harvey took over the Gannett farm. Lucile and her husband Harvey moved from the house they built on the farm to a house they bought in Gooding. Lucile continued to live in this house until April, 2016. She owes a debt go gratitude to the Gooding Senior Center for meals and companionship they provided her over the years. Lucile was a member of the LDS church, Eastern Star, Gooding County Historical Society and Shoshone Indian Trap Club as well as numerous riding clubs in southern Idaho. Lucile’s daughter Polly graduated from the University of Idaho, married Dean Brown and had two children Lynn and Bruce. Lucile’s son Harvey graduated from the University of Idaho, married Myrna Anderson and had three children Carol, Harvey “Skip” and Betty. Lucile’s son Walter graduated from the University of Utah, married Gay Wignall and had four children Don, Duane, Brent and Fred. Lucile was preceded in death by her parents Walter and Grace Stevens; five of her siblings, Frank, Ruth, Dave, Hellen and Grant; two children Emlynnetta and Polly, and one grandchild, Bruce. Lucile is survived by: her sister, Fay of Twin Falls; sons, Harvey (Myrna) of Boise and Walter (Gay) of Carson City, NV; eight grandchildren and seventeen great-grandchildren.
