News A Tale of Two Restaurants
Over the last couple of weeks, two new restaurants have opened up in our area. The first week was a little rough as their building resisted the change over, but Sissy’s Place in Wendell is now up and running at the old Pit Stop building (397 S. Idaho). Sissy’s Place is a Family Style restaurant serving breakfast all day long, along with your favorite lunch items. Apparently, the Jalapeño Bacon Burger is to die for. They are open Tuesday thru Friday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Closed Mondays.
The Staff at Sissy’s serving Great Family Food
A few miles north, another restaurant has opened up with some familiar faces at the old Rowdy’s in Gooding (227 Main Street). Carrie and her Carrie Stiffdaughter Aysia ler has worked in this building for 18 years as a cook, a waitress, and everything else. Now she is running it as her own business - the Chill n’Grill. Open Wednesday thru Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., the Chill n’Grill serves lunch and dinner with burgers, steaks, sea food, and more. And don’t be afraid to bring your children - it’s a family friendly restaurant with good food for everyone.

Pastor Chuck Butler’s Retirement
Pastor Chuck and Fay Butler will be retiring on June 30, 2015 after pasturing the Fairfield Community Church for seventeen and one half years, and completing 40 years in the ministry. Chuck grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico and entered the Navy shortly after his high school graduation. The Navy took him to Bremerton, Washington where he was stationed on the USS Sacramento. He served two years on active duty on the West Pak tour and five years inactive in the Reserves. During his time on ship he was an assistant to the Chaplin and conducted Bible studies. From this experience he felt that God was calling him into some type of Christian work. After being discharged from active duty he attended Olympic Jr. College in Bremerton. While in Bremerton he met his wife Fay. She was working in Bremerton and singing in a Youth For Christ group called the Bremertones. Chuck helped with the sound system and lighting for the group. They learned to work together while Chuck was serving as president of the Olympian’s, a singles group, and Fay was serving as the secretary. They were married August 12, 1966. Shortly after they were married Chuck felt called to attend Multnomah Bible College in Portland, Oregon where Fay had previously attended. He graduated in 1969. After graduation he served as an Associate at Evergreen Bible Church in Vancouver, Washington. The pastor had Chuck preach in the evening service. It was during this time that God spoke to him from Amos 8:11. “The days are coming declares the Sovereign Lord, when I will send a famine through the land – not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord.” Chuck took seriously these words and vowed that there would never be a famine in teaching and preaching the Word of God during his ministry. He took his first pastorate in a small rural church at Birkenfeld, Oregon. It was during this time their son Philip was born. Chuck served as the missionary pastor of several churches in Washington, Oregon and Idaho. These included Willowcreek Community Church in Willowcreek, Oregon; Carson continued on page 7.....

Sharon “Kay” Kennison
Sharon “Kay” Kennison, 75, of Wendell passed away Tuesday June 9, 2015 at her home surrounded by her family. She is finally at home with her twin sister “Fay”. Kay was born to Bert and Marjorie Carroll on July 11, 1939 in Filer, Idaho. At five years old Kay and her family moved to Appleton City, Missouri. She later moved back to Jerome and graduated from Jerome High School in 1957. She enjoyed working in the “spuds” for Kenny Martin and at the Honey House. She owned the Northern Tavern Bar for many years and knew just about everybody in town. She later moved to Wendell and began working at Simerly’s. It wasn’t as though she was hired, she just showed up and started working. She worked hard throughout her life and wanted to be kept busy. She remained at Simerly’s until her death and said it was her favorite job. After all, she practically ran the show. Kay had two daughters; Shawna & Travis Atwood and Michelle Wheeler & Fiancé Ron Golnick. She is survived by them as well as their children Danielle, Michaela, Nichole, Stefan and Nick. She is also survived by 5 great-grand children, Kenadi, Parker, Mace, Jayla, and Jayden. She has always been a second mother to Jerri Stone, Tracie Stone and Paula Simerly, especially after her twin sister, Fay, died in 2012. Kay was also survived by her brother, Don Carroll of Denver, Colo. and her baby sister, Roberta Carroll of Big Fork, Mont. She was preceded in death by her parents and her sister Fay. Kay spent her days at Simerly’s or having an “Oly” at the Stockman’s. Evenings were spent at home on her deck with her daughter Shawna and husband Travis. Kay had too many friends to count. In the final days of cancer, she finally confessed, “I may have to quit my job”. She worked all her life and worked hard. We all loved her and our days will be forever empty without her there to talk to. Funeral services were held on Saturday, June 13, 2015, at Farnsworth Mortuary in Jerome. Interment followed at the Wendell Cemetery.

The Black Soul of White Top The Adventures of Joe Sabin: Noxious Weed Killer #5
by The Camas Bug Crew
Last episode Joe untangled himself from a sticky situation with Bind Weed. In this week’s installment he fights a noxious wolf dressed in sheep’s clothing. With the Camas Bug Crew by his side, he plans to take the white top by surprise. It has been using its code name, Hoary Crest to get into unsuspecting pastures, but this will be no more. Twenty-four states have already been infected by its creeping tentacles. This perennial mustard reproduces vegetatively and by seed. This deep rooted and stubborn plant can grow to monstrous sizes, up to 90 centimeters. This evil plant was brought over from Eurasia by people in the late 1800 hundreds, and it has reigned in terror ever since. Its aggressive manner has made it easy to take over riparian areas and rangelands. Its grayish green body makes it blend in well with other plants. Its lance shaped body makes it a true warrior of land, and its white head makes people think it is a angel, but it has a evil, dark soul and it must be stopped. It is weak when it is about to reproduce from April to May. With its 2,300 seed pods ready to explode any second, time was critical. Joe and the Camas Bug Crew have been mapping out sites for four years in preparation for their newest bio control agent….. Ceutorhynchus Cardariae(CECA) . The United States Department of Agriculture has been vetting this stem gall weevil for over ten years to make sure this agent will only attack White Top. Joe, riding his Harley Davidson chopper, led the bug crew, who were in their noble Jeep Liberty, into battle. Suddenly the White Top latched on to Joe’s chopper and pulled him under. The crew gave a mighty battle yell and dove in filled with rage and indignation. Moments later the bug crew emerged with Joe’s lifeless body. Colby sprang into action and revived Joe with an ancient remedy only apothecaries and 8th grade boys know about. Retreat is not usually an option with a superhero, but Joe knew enough to wait patiently for CECA to be approved by the USDA. To this day Joe and the Camas Bug Crew wait hopefully for this new agent to be approved to use against White Top. Every day the Crew gives Joe status reports on the growth of White Top in Camas County and they devise strategic plans for the next battle.
