Camp Rainbow Gold Ready for Campers

This week, Hidden Paradise, the home of Camp Rainbow Gold north of Fairfield, welcomed their first campers of the season. The 2024 campers will be the first to stay in the brand new Blackrock Village.

Just a year ago, Blackrock Homes out of Boise started the construction of a six cabin village just below the main lodge. Along with Alturas Homes, Core Building Company, and James Clyde Homes, these companies donated a huge amount of labor and materials to make sure the cabins were ready for special needs campers. The primary purpose of Hidden Paradise is to be Idaho's premier medical camp - a place where kids with medical needs can enjoy the great outdoors. While Camp Rainbow Gold's focus is oncology camps for kids going through cancer treatments, Hidden Paradise is also available to other group serving kids with medical needs.

And... thanks to Blue Cross of Idaho and Andersen Construction there is new Med Shack to facilitate the medical needs of campers. When the property was purchased in 2019, Blue Cross committed just over $2 million to build the Med Shack. With the help of Andersen Construction, the building was completed this year and under budget. Now, the Med Shack will provided a safe place to store medications, as well as a private place for campers to receive treatments or first-aid. Last Thursday, the camp host a Thank You BBQ for all the volunteers who have helped with construction the new buildings. Camp Rainbow Gold CEO/Executive Director, Elizabeth Lizberg, said she was amazed that over 50% of the construction costs have been covered by donations from building companies and other individuals. "It is incredible to see how far we have come in such a sort time. But... we are not finished."

She said their next big project is a new lodge. The old lodge is great, but it is too small. A new building will be constructed just up the hill from the old lodge that will provide space for large cafeteria as well as a meeting hall when the weather outside is unpleasant.

New Beginnings

Summer brings warmer weather, new vegetation, and desire to get outside. Unfortunately summer also introduces a host of new noxious weeds. The Bug Crew is back on the Camas Prairie, ready to fight these new invaders. We have several veteran crew members returning including Torri Tupper, Tyler Tews, Harper Rablin, and Emerie Smith. We're pleased to have Porter Olsen join us this year.

While there are many ways to deal with noxious weeds, biological control has proven to be one of the best. The characteristic that sets biological control apart from other methods is the fact that it is sustainable. Mechanical removal, sprays, and tilling are all effective, but they require annual and sometimes biannual application. The insects we use to control noxious weeds over winter in the soil and create new populations in the spring, thus eliminating the need for constant stewardship.

The Bug Crew convenes every summer for three months to collect data, move insects to new sites, educate the public, and work with landowners on noxious weed infestations. We write articles like this one to better educate the public in best practices in biological control and garner new weed sites. We share all of our data with the US Department of Agriculture, the Bureau of Land Management, and county weed superintendents. This coordinated approach allows us to share with these agencies what we're doing, where we're doing it, and how effective our methods are. If you would like to learn more about biological control and how it can potentially help you manage your land, please call Terry Lee at (208 764 3512)

New Market Animal Barn Proposed in Fairfield

The new barn will be in the same location as the current barns. The proposed size is 100' by 100' and approximately 28' tall (the current barn complex is roughly 85' by 70' and 14' high). This will require the removal of about a dozen trees on the west side of the park. While the primary use of this building will be for 4H animal projects, the fully enclosed structure could be used year-round.

Omer Eugene Loranger

Dad passed the morning of June 3rd of congestive heart failure at age 97 in his Hagerman home of 50 years. He had a remarkable life.

He was born in Saskatchewan, Canada in a dirt floor cabin in 1927, his mother died young, and he was raised by his father and extended family. Speaking only French he worked on the farm and rode his pony on his daily job of keeping the cattle off of the railroad tracks during the depression. He hated peas and oatmeal to this day because of that poverty and insisted on ham at every holiday as a badge of prosperity. He was conservative with money and would fix anything using duct tape, baling twine and ingenuity before buying anything new.

The family moved to the United States and his father enrolled Gene in Catholic school to help him learn English. The nuns are credited for teaching him how to play the guitar, and Theo, his father, scrimped and saved to purchase his first guitar and lessons, making monthly payments. He graduated high school in California.

Gene was married and divorced and had one son David Eugene Loranger from that marriage. David proceeded dad in death, also dying of congestive heart failure. Drafted into the Army during the Korean conflict, he was stationed in Chicago and assigned the job of performing music for the weekly Army radio and television programs. Gene had an excellent memory and sense of rhythm and was assigned the duty of morse code communications operator. He hated Chicago and said that he had never been so cold in all his life.

After his military service, Gene returned to California and played jazz guitar and was an owner of The World of Strings in Long Beach. He was hired to entertain guests on the Sun Valley ski train as part of the Hap Miller Orchestra at the Sun Valley Resort.

He met a beautiful bank teller, Beverly Bates, who became the love of his life and wife in 1963. They had two children, Jill and Joel. Gene left seven grandchildren to carry on his family lineage, and several great grandchildren with one on the way. Bev and Gene sold the music store and moved to Idaho in the early 70’s and bought their 60-acre ranch in Hagerman. Gene worked the ranch during the day, raised horses, ran his luthier business repairing any and all string instruments with incredible talent, and played gigs at night. One of the highlights in his musical career was getting to play the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, the one and only time he ever got to use his passport. We have also heard the story of him having to borrow a dinner jacket that was too small to be the featured soloist at the Sun Valley Symphony, and the night at the Duchin room when Hemmingway came in.

Gene taught guitar at the College of Southern Idaho for many years, retiring in his 80s. He always said the people signed up for his class to get an easy A, but his students loved learning from him. Everyone remembers dad as the person who loved his family, coffee, a good prime rib, popcorn, ice cream, his “million-dollar dog Bella” and as the person with countless stories to tell around the dining room table. We will miss hearing your stories and the lovely sound of your guitar, dad. Love you, Jill Cremation arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel.

Russell Allen Cantrell

Russell Allen Cantrell, 86, passed away on Wednesday, May 22, 2024, in Twin Falls, Idaho, where he had resided for forty-six years.

Russell was born on April 21, 1938, in Wendell, Idaho, to Homer and Iva Cantrell. He attended school in Wendell, graduating from Wendell High School. On December 7, 1959, Russell married Bernice Griese. Their union brought forth one son, Randy.

Throughout his lifetime, Russell worked in many interesting professions, including sales, pool table recovery, and servicing vending machines, jukeboxes, and arcade games. Ensuring the proper functioning of arcade games after each job was a necessity, therefore one might say "he sure plays a mean pinball." His hobbies included gardening, fishing, and reading.

Russell is survived by his son, Randy Cantrell, of Elko, Nevada, three grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his wife and eldest grandchild. To all who knew him, he will be greatly missed.

Funeral services will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 13, 2024, at Demaray Funeral Service - Wendell Chapel, 164 East Main St., Wendell, Idaho.

Dear Gooding School District

Students, Staff, Parents and Community Members

June is here and that means another school year is behind us. Let's take a moment to reflect on some of the successes of the district.

In November the school board adopted a district strategic plan. It is a comprehensive document that outlines goals, priorities, and strategies for improvement over the next five years. Our plan is broken into six different areas: college and career ready students, recruitment, development and retention of high-quality staff, facilities and safety, communication, financial responsibility, and quality learning opportunities. By articulating a clear vision for improvement and outlining actionable steps for achievement, this plan serves as a roadmap for guiding decision-making, resource allocation, and continuous improvement efforts. You can find our plan on our website at https: //gsd231. org/ under the district tab.

Grade level/subject area curriculum outlines have been updated and will be added to the district webpage by the fall of 2024. In April we adopted a new reading curriculum for the elementary school. Secondary math curriculum is being reviewed and will be updated in the next couple of months.

We are focusing efforts to provide professional development for our teachers and staff that aligns with our curriculums as well as their individual needs within the classroom. In April we gathered information through a survey about this topic that we will use in planning for next year.

As always, our students and their success is at the heart of everything we do as a community and school district. We want them to be successful in the classroom as well as on the courts, fields, stages and at competitions. Students involved in activities outside the classroom tend to have better grades and self-esteem, develop better leadership skills, as well as have higher graduation rates than students who don't. These activities also contribute to the culture and identity of our community. With this in mind, we offer twenty-one extracurricular activities in high school and eleven at the middle school. We offer nineteen student clubs or cocurricular activities at the high school with three at the middle school. When you combine all of these with the field trips and other activities and events taking place throughout the district we hope there is something for everyone!

As always, thank you for supporting our district and being an active participant within our community. We couldn't do it without you!

Cup of Tee by Tee Hurd

Sometimes we overlook things that have been in front of us on a daily basis. One good example is Native American Wisdom. Following are some wisdomes that are just as good today as they were hundreds of years ago.

It does not require many words to speak the truth.

 The ones who think they are crazy enough to change the world are the ones that do.

 It is better to have less thunder in the mouth and more lightening in the hand.

A good chief gives... He does not take.

The greatest strength is gentleness.

You already possess everything neccessary to become great.

The only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing.

We are not are not seperate from the earth, we are part of it... whether we like it or not.

The soul would have no rainbow if the eye had no tears.

You can't wake a person pretending to be asleep.

We will be known forever by the tracks we leave.

The one who tells the stories rules the world.

A people without vision will perish.

All dreams spin out from the same web.
