News High Desert Racing
Driving out to the High Desert Speedway for the first time can be a little disconcerting. There are a couple of way to get there, but either way, the last mile is a gravel road that seems to lead nowhere. However, for racing enthusiasts the drive is well worth the momentary feeling of being lost, and while the speedway is not fancy, twice a month it is home to some of the best drag racing in Southern Idaho.
The first race of each month is class racing (open to anyone) where participants earn points. The second race of each month is limited to 27 cars with a payout to the Top 8 on each day. Spectators are welcome every race day with admissions of $8 for class racing and $10 for the big races (kids 7 to 12 are $5.00, and children under 6 years are Free). Spectators can sit in the bleachers or tailgate along the track. On race days the gates open at 10 a.m. and racing begins at noon. For more information go to highdesertspeedway.com or call Mitch (431-9596) Jodie (650-9730) or Marissa (650-3626). In August (19th thru 21st) there will be a special mortorcycle only event...

Larry Don Bay
Larry Don Bay, 68, of Wendell Idaho, unexpectedly left our world on January 5 2016. Larry was born June 16 1947 in Yale Oklahoma to H.E. and Inez Bay. He graduated From Wendell High School in 1966. In February 1970 he married Linda Gorrell and they have been lifelong mates. Larry is survived by his wife Linda; three daughter Mindy (Mike) Starry, Sheri (Dan) Anderson, and Amy Hansen (Chris Golliher); 2 brothers Louis and Denny; sister Gayle; and his best fishing bud Doug; 8 grandchildren, one deceased, (Brady). Larry was preceded in death by numerous family members. Our father Larry Bay had a soul full of kindness and love. He was rich in generosity and helped anyone when needed. He showed us girls right from wrong and he taught us to work hard and appreciate anything and everything. He had a stubborn streak that rubbed off on us. He experienced many unfortunate things in life; financial, medical, and emotional. He was able to stay positive and be strong and move on with a smile on his face. He lived a full successful life and we know he had no regrets and left this earth content and happy. He probably would have liked to do more fishing and spend more time camping and enjoying retirement with our Mother, but he wasn’t afraid of dying. He was never afraid. His love for our Mother (Linda Bay) was one of a kind and everlasting. He will always be in our hearts, actions and memories. If you had an opportunity to know or meet him, consider yourself truly blessed. He was and will continue to be our rock Rest in peace Daddy. A celebration of life will be held at 3:00 pm, on Saturday, June 11, 2016 at the Cottonwood Camp Ground at CJ Strike near Bruneau. Memorial contributions in Larry’s name may be made to the Brady Hansen Scholarship Fund at any Famers National Bank branch.
Mildred Mae Brown Patterson
Mildred Mae Brown Patterson, 101, a resident of Gooding, passed away Saturday, June 4, 2016 at Bridgeview Estates in Twin Falls. One of the highlights of Mildred’s life was celebrating her 100th birthday with the love and support of her family and friends. Mildred was born April 3, 1915 to Irvin and Louise Brown in Ashton, Idaho. She moved with her family to Gooding where she attended Gooding High School and graduated in 1934. Mildred married Manning Patterson on November 3, 1935. They were married 68 years and continued to live on the Patterson ranch where they farmed and raised sheep and cattle. She cooked for lambing crews for many years. In addition, Mildred raised chickens and sold eggs to several grocery stores, ISDB, and individual customers. They added a ranch on the Camas Prairie in 1963 and they sold the sheep business in 1982. Mildred was a life-long member of the Gooding First Baptist Church. She was also a member of the Rebekah’s Lodge for many years. She held many offices including Noble Grand. The focus of Mildred’s life was her family. She was most content when she was hosting a holiday event or simply sharing a delicious meal with family. She was a kind and loving wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, great-grandmother and greatgreat-grandmother. She was proud of each and every family member and always there to support them. We will miss her. She is survived by 3 daughters, Bonita Osborne, of Twin Falls, Idaho, Arlene (Ed) Marshall, of Meridian, Idaho and MaryFern (Don) Janak, of Middleton, Idaho; 1 son, Jim (Nancy) Patterson, of Gooding, Idaho; 10 grandchildren; 15 greatgrandchildren; 1 great-great-granddaughter; and 2 sisters, Lois Meserole, of Emmett, Idaho, and Myrtie Bartholomew, of Gooding, Idaho. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Manning; 1 son-in-law, Allen Osborne; 5 brothers; 1 sister; and 1 great-granddaughter, McKinsey Osborne. A funeral service will be held at 11:00 am, on Friday, June 10, 2016 at the United Methodist Church in Gooding with Pastor Roger Johnson officiating. Visitation at the church will begin at 10:00 am. Burial will follow at Elmwood Cemetery. Memorial contributions in Mildred’s name may be made to the Gooding First Baptist Church, or to a charity of the donor’s choice.

obituary
Bennett Warren Lawton
Bennett Warren Lawton - Age 25, left us too soon to play his guitar for the angels on May 28, 2016 at 4:42 a.m. Being impatient to enter this world, he came six weeks early on November 14, 1990, born to Penny Rae Lawton at 7:43 p.m. He wasted no time in wrapping his Grandpa Doc Lawton around his little finger along with everyone else he came into contact with due to his contagious laughter and bright smile and big blue eyes. The first 9 months of his life were spent living with Uncle Kerry Lawton in Wendell and then he started his long career of breaking his Grandma Charlotte’s heart by moving away to Lewiston Idaho with the special man who would become his Dad, Wayne Stoddard. The first five years were filled with snowmobiling, jet skiing, tree house building, fishing and camping adventures. The extended family of Grandparents, Gruncles, Aunts and Cousins in Northern Idaho (Lewiston/Clarkston) were always special to him and he never forgot them and the love of life and family they helped instill in his early years. Bennett and his Mom returned to Southern Idaho where he attended schools finishing early in 2007-more impatience- by attaining his GED from C.S.I. He attended Timberlake Job Corp in Estacada Oregon where he trained to be a painter. He drove forklift at Spears in Jerome, Idaho, worked on his Grandparents dairy for several years, and most recently worked for Northside Cleaning.
Bennett married Rani April Stafford on August 18, 2014 in Wendell Idaho and loved her children Kaydence and Brooks with all his heart and although they later divorced he still called her his wifey until the end. Bennett loved music and art-spending hours drawing and playing the guitar. Tattoos were also an important expression form for him but what he truly loved most were his friends and family, and he was always looking out for the underdog in unexpected ways. He is survived by his Mother Penny Rae Lawton-Reynolds, His Step -Dad Jake Reynolds; his younger Brothers Alexander Jacob Wardell (13) Caydan Warren Reynolds (7) Damian Thomas Reynolds (5); Grandparents Warren “Doc” Lawton & Charlotte Lawton; Great Aunt Janet (Bud) Thompson, Aunt Kendi Lawton, Uncle Kerry (Sharie) Lawton; Cousins Melyssa (Wes) Whitesell & family, Amanda (Justin) Mulligan & family, Jesse Campbell, Brianna Lawton, Kaycee Lawton, Mason Lawton; and many extended family members . He is preceded in death by his Precious Great Grandmother Rosemary Lawton (Wendell Idaho), Great Grandma Helen Bartlett (Lewiston) His Beloved Aunt Genell Mutter (Jerome, Idaho) and Grandpa Frank Stoddard (Clarkston, Washington) A celebration of life will be held at 4:00 pm, Friday, June 10, 2016 at the Conference Center at the Best Western Sawtooth Inn & Suites, 2653 S. Lincoln Ave., in Jerome. Arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service – Wendell Chapel. Condolences and memories may be shared with the family by visiting the obituary link at www.demarayfuneralservice.com.

Citizens Sought For Resource Advisory Committee
The U.S. Forest Service (USFS) is seeking applicants to serve on a Resource Advisory Committee (RAC) for the Sawtooth National Forest. RACs were re-authorized by the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self Determination Act, Public Law 110-343. “RACs will consist of 15 local citizens and six alternates representing a wide array of interests,” said Nils Ribi, RAC Chairman. “The committee will review proposed forest management projects and make recommendations to the Forest Service on their implementation.” Ribi also stated that RACs will coordinate with land management agency officials, which provides an opportunity to participate in the project development process. Committee members are sought who are committed to working collaboratively with other interests for the long-term benefit of public lands. The application period ends August 15, 2016. “The RACs enable local county residents to have a meaningful say in how federal lands are managed,” said Sawtooth National Forest Supervisor Kit Mullen. “The boundary of the RAC for south central Idaho covers the Sawtooth National Forest and includes Blaine, Camas and Cassia Counties.” In the state of Idaho six RAC areas have been approved. The geographic boundaries of the RACs are aligned closely with county boundaries and with National Forest boundaries. Council members serve a four-year term without monetary compensation, but may be reimbursed for travel and per diem expenses. Meetings are generally held no more than twice a year, and are located within the geographic area the RAC serves. Members must reside within the State of Idaho to serve on the RAC, and to the extent practicable within the RAC boundary. “We are very interested and committed to ensuring our RAC represents the diversity of our communities of interest and place,” said Ribi. “These committees are to be balanced and diverse with equal representation from industry, environmental groups, elected officials and local people.” The Secretary of Agriculture will appoint RAC members. The composition of each RAC is to be balanced according to three interest categories identified in the legislation: To obtain an application packet or additional information, please contact Julie Thomas at the US Forest Service (208) 737-3200. In completing your application, please indicate the interest group you wish to represent next to your signature. Completed applications should be mailed to Julie Thomas, Sawtooth National Forest, 2647 Kimberly Road East, Twin Falls, ID 83301.

The Courier News ~ 888-934-1862 Summer Workshops at
CSI Herrett Center
The Herrett Center for Arts and Science is launching a series of nine fun, low cost, summer workshops for kids as young as six years old. All sessions will be from 1 to 2:30 p.m. on Wednesdays. June 15: Paper Planes. Ever wonder what keeps airplanes in the sky? This is a workshop about flight. Everyone will learn the basic science behind flying, and then have a chance to build their own paper airplane. We will finish the workshop with a paper plane fly-off to see which designs are the best flyers! Ages 6 and up. Children under 8 must have a parent present. $5 per participant. June 22: Coiled Pottery. Many different American Indian cultures created beautiful clay pottery. The technique that was widely used in North and South America is called coiling. In this workshop, you will make your own coiled clay pot using air-dry clay. The technique is easy to learn, and everyone will leave with a completed pot that will dry overnight. Ages 6 and up. Children under 8 must have a parent present. $10 per participant. June 29: Hoop Drums. For the many Native cultures that call the Great Plains their homeland, the hoop was a very important symbol of the circle of life. In this workshop, you will have the chance to create one of the most musical examples of the hoop in Great Plains cultures: the drum! Learn about other important symbols as you build and decorate your own hoop drum. Ages 8 and up. $10 per participant. July 13: Nature Walk. Take a walk on the wild side while exploring native plants just minutes from the Herrett Center. Join us for a short nature hike around the CSI campus, stopping to identify native plants and explore their prehistoric uses by indigenous peoples. Everyone will discover tool-making resources, edible plants, and general plant identification techniques. After the hike, return to the Herrett Center for an activity. Ages 8 and up. $5 per participant. July 20: Fossil Casts. Many of the fossils seen in museums are not originals. The originals are often too fragile to be on display, so museums create casts of the fossils that look just like the real thing. In this workshop, you will have the chance to create your own fossil cast of an object from the Herrett Center collection. Ages 6 and up. Children under 8 must have a parent present. $10 per participant.

My daughter and granddaughter have been running almost before they could crawl. My daughter would go fifty miles an hour without shoes and the granddaughter a hundred with shoes. To see her throw her little feet up and say “Shoes! Shoes!” is pretty priceless. To her shoes is an important part of her life. She feels good with pretty shoes on. If they are not tied, they need to be because it adds security to her. When she goes somewhere, she needs plenty of shoes. If she falls asleep in the car and loses a shoe it has to be found. For someone near the three foot mark, she notices the shoes you have on. She will tell you if they are pretty, dirty, or torn. I can blame her mom and mima (grandma) for her love of shoes. From the time she was born, they have given her the updated look of comfort, necessity, and some style. To a man, three pairs of shoes should suffice: one pair for Sunday church going, one pair to work in, and a pair of house slippers for in between. But now that I am older, more than one pair of shoes is a good thing. First and foremost of importance, is that it allows you to get one pair completely dry. This reduces foot odor from damp shoes. More shoes mean you buy shoes less often. Instead of wearing one pair out instantly, you wear only a little bit at a time for a long time. Several pairs of shoes keep you healthier. I know that it doesn’t sound right but you couldn’t convince me of that earlier. If your feet are comfortable, so are you. If your feet are cold, you will be also. When they are too hot body compensates to cool. Good comfortable shoes have less back and leg strain, therefore you don’t hurt as much. Humans can adapt to many environments if you have the shoes to match. That is one of the reasons Idaho people are not affected by weather changes as other people in other states. We prepare for it with our shoes. In short, one does not go skiing with high heels and you don’t swim with snowshoes on. You may not be able to go anywhere, but with the right shoes you can be anywhere. I have seen my granddaughter follow an adult around a mud puddle. Then I have seen her go around and look at it from the other side. Then she runs and jumps right in the middle of it. To see her size up the puddle was pure ingenious. She was using her little baby math skills to calculate the puddles volume. Looking back, I can see I was wrong she wasn’t measuring the puddle, but evaluating the shoes. Pretty Clever! Sometimes little shoes are the hardest to fill :) Shoes are the first adult machines we are given to master. Cinderella is proof that a good pair of shoes can change your life. This is my “Cup of Tee” with foot notes on shoes.
