Richfield’s 60th Annual
Story on Page 9...
Thanks to a large donation, the Richfield QRU (Quick Response Unit) has funded the QRU Legacy Scholarship for Richfield youth who want to go into the medical field. The first recipient of this scholarship is graduating Richfield Senior, Jeff Henson, in the amount of $1000. “The Richfield QRU believes in our youth and our Richfield community and we are proud to present our first medical field scholarship award to Mr. Jeff Henson.” The Richfield QRU unit was formed in 1978, and for over 37 years Richfield has supported the QRU through membership, fundraisers, donations, and blood, sweat & tears. As the old QRU members are retiring and handing the reins to a new eager group of very qualified EMT’s, they want to honor the Richfield community by giving back to the people who gave so much. Right now, they have enough funds for at least 20 years of scholarships. Applications for this scholarship must be turned in to the Richfield High School Counselor’s Office in April of a student’s graduation. Applications are judged by a scholarship board of past and present Richfield EMTs, based on essay, resume, references, and transcripts.

obituaries
Mary Georgia Gill
Georgia Gill, 78, of Gooding, Idaho, passed away May 19, 2015, at Ashley Manor, in Jerome, Idaho, where she was blessed to be so generously taken care of. “George” as she was affectionately called by those who were close to her, was born December 22, 1936. She was the youngest (and the last survivor) of five daughters and one son born to Wes and Cora Salisbury in Challis, Idaho. Her parents started out as ranchers on Bay Horse Creek in Challis. Later, they moved and worked on ranches throughout Nevada, Arizona, and Idaho where Georgia attended schools. She graduated high school from Glenns Ferry in 1956. Georgia, being raised on these various ranches never lost her sense of adventure and love of nature and animals. As a girl she made pets of different wild creatures including a deer, crow, and a pair of badgers. Shortly after graduation she married her cowboy, Bob Gill on June 3, 1956, in King Hill, Idaho. Georgia and Bob continued the ranching and farming tradition while raising their three boys, Don, Ron, and Jon. Georgia loved the outdoors, and spent her summers in “Cow Camps” where she was an accomplished cook with a wood stove; baking cakes, cookies, and biscuits. No morning was complete without her sourdough pancakes, and when the evening chores were complete you never had to ask twice to go down to the creek to catch a mess of fish. Georgia was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother and she joyfully attended games, rodeos, and team ropings that her sons and grandchildren were involved in. One of the few things that Georgia did for herself was joining the Liberty Bells Riding Club in Gooding, where she made wonderful memories riding in parades and rodeos with her fellow horsewomen enthusiasts. Georgia had a kind and caring nature and used it well while working in many hospitals across southern Idaho. When the boys were grown Georgia and Bob moved to Stanley Basin where Bob was employed by the U.S.

Georgia is survived and will forever be remembered by her husband, Bob; sons Don (Denise); Ron (Brenda); Jon (Mary) and grandchildren Jessica, Sarah, Wes, Hailey, Jordan, Rusty, Kade, Chelsea, and Charly; and great grandchildren, Dregan Gill and Amaia Zatica.

Magic Valley Dairy Days June 11th thru 13th
from University of Idaho Extension
Pesky Spring Reminders:
With the advent of so much spring beauty for the sense’s, tulips blooming, daffodils bending in the wind, the smell of mown lawns, and the sound of sprinklers ‘chicketing’, it is a good thing we have forsythia to remind us of the pesky weeds spring will bring. Forsythia!?! What does forsythia have to do with pesky weeds? A couple weeks ago I was reminded of this fact when driving by a forsythia bush in full bloom. Forsythia has a beautiful yellow brilliance to add additional colors to your spring array of bulbs. Although beautiful they are a subtle reminder of crabgrass and other annual weedy grass prevention. Many readers will consider it strange that a great science minded horticulturist would use the blooming of forsythia to indicate the presence of crabgrass, but there is a correlation. In general, crabgrass seed germination coincides with the time when forsythia blossoms start to fall. Therefore forsythia becomes an early or late warning of the soil temperature. This in turn allows us to apply our preemergent products just before germination which insures better herbicide coverage in the germination zone of the soil. Usually Mother Nature moves the product into the soil with a little bit of precipitation, but if the forecast predicts dry weather, one will need to irrigate within a couple days after the application. Better timing and coverage equals better percentage of control. Now that we know when to apply our crabgrass preventer, the question of what product to use often comes up. First, it should be noted, because crabgrass is intolerant of shade, maintaining a vigorous stand of the desired turf grass through proper mowing, fertilization and soil care is the best defense against this opportunistic invader. There is no single product that is superior to all other products available. Most of the products available to homeowners for crabgrass control on established lawns will contain either: benefin, bensulide, pendimethalin, or trifluralin. All provide excellent crabgrass control when applied properly. Benefin may have shorter residual control, but that will vary with the rate of application and environmental conditions. Corn gluten is an organic herbicide alternative that has shown some ability to suppress crabgrass germination. For more information on crabgrass or other lawn weeds call the Extension office for recommendations. Master Gardener Diagnostic clinics will be offered in Magic Valley Extension offices starting May.
You are invited to attend the annual Magic Valley Dairy Days in Wendell, Idaho at the Wendell City Park. Introduced more than 20 years ago, Magic Valley Dairy Days celebrates the impact of the Dairy Industry on the Magic Valley. Event features performers, food and craft vendors, exhibition booths, carnival rides, and a parade. For more information, please contact the Wendell Chamber of Commerce at (208) 316-7879 or Wendell. cofc@yahoo.com. Information is also available at:

Many an adult will give their thoughts to the graduate. I guess I’m no different. Whenever a person reads something, they read an opinion of someone else. But, if you believe, use, or store the information, the information becomes formalization or a structured thought. A friend once asked me, “Tee, why do you have all that worthless information stored in your head?” My reply was, “All information is useful one time or another, therefore, it will fill its worth. The human brain can store more information than a computer so why not use it?” With these lines I’ll share a few of my thoughts. 1. Meet everyone you can. Everyone you meet is a connection. Don’t use people, but use what they know. Save yourself some time. 2. When you don’t have a job, create yourself one with the resources around you. The job is not better than you but you are better than the job. 3. Be the mate you want your mate to be. Don’t plan to change your mate. Reflections are infinite whereas reconstruction is forever on going or not at all. 4. Everything doesn’t start with chocolate, but it is sure easier to get things going with it. 5. There are two real situations; life and death. Life is EVERYTHING that happens between birth and the finish line. 6. Always be responsible for everything you do. No one else will or should be. 7. Health is worth more money than you can store in the bank. Even when you are poor, health will keep you going, but if you have no health, all the money possible will do you no good. 8. Get high on sunshine. It will take you farther than drugs. 9. Be a leader not a follower of peer pressure. It’s OK to be different and stand out because it only takes one to make a majority. 10. Take a minute a day for yourself. You can repair a lot in 60 seconds. 11. Help others, it’s only a hand away. 12. When your plate is full and you are low on ketchup, reduce the size of the skillet. 13. When making plans don’t forget to dust off plan “C” occasionally. It’s easier to use when clear. For what it is, as the tassel turns, this is my “Cup of Tee”.

Richfield Readies to Celebrate 60th
by Marsha Hiatt Richfield’s 60th Annual Outlaw Day is fast approaching and this year’s event – to be held on June 13th – will be bigger and better than ever before. Event organizers have been attempting to contact anyone affiliated with the celebration from years past – from former queens to previous grand marshalls to family members of past Richfield Riding Club members. “We’d like to see everyone who’s ever had been involved with the celebration be represented in the parade that day,” organizers said. This year’s theme is “Where Have All the Outlaws Gone”. To enter your float in the parade simply show up at the City Park that morning and sign up – winners will receive cash prizes. The event kicks off with a community breakfast at 7:30 a.m. at the Richfield School. The parade down Main Street starts at 10:30 and from there the crowd shifts to Reynolds Field (just west of town on Hwy 26). The kid’s events start up first and these include a stick horse race, goat tying and calf riding. Big kids get to join in the fun next with competitions that involve alumni team roping, barrel racing, pole bending and a couple of contests that are unique to Outlaw Day – the hide race and rescue race. The mud bog races begin at approximately 4 p.m. – after the arena events have wrapped up. This year there will be a monster truck cruising Reynolds Field during the festivities offering up rides for just $5.00 per person. – “This is a new addition to our program and we think it’s going to become a real crowd pleaser.” The day’s celebration will culminate with a street dance on Main Street starting at 9 p.m. Organizers added that there will be vendors serving food all day and night and also a courtesy van on hand to give free rides to those who consume alcohol. “It’s our second year using this van – last year was really successful and we expect it to be more so this year. We don’t want any drinking and driving going on – a DUI can sure spoil a person’s Outlaw Day.” For more information please contact Lori Royal at 7312176, Annie West at 308-5097 or Marsha Hiatt at 9690919.
