Western Heritage Ranch Rodeo
This Friday and Saturday, come enjoy the Western Heritage Ranch Rodeo at the Gooding Fairgrounds. If you’ve never been to a “Ranch Rodeo”, be prepared for a different kind of fun. Instead of the regular events we all know, a ranch rodeo is all about team work. Groups of cowboys participate in events that are more like what they do every day... well, almost every day (wild cow milking is not for the faint hearted). The Rodeo events begin at 6 p.m. on both Friday and Saturday nights, but come early on Saturday for other events including the Draft Horse Show at 10 a.m. and the Stick Horse Rodeo at 5 p.m. On Sunday morning, beginning at 8 a.m., come watch the unsung heros of ranching show off their skills in the Working Stock Dog competition.

Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, Trying to express my deepest thanks to everyone is difficult... only because there are so many people I have to thank. Everyone has been so supportive and helpful. The prayers and karma are definitely working. The Lighthouse Church, the American Legion, the wonderful women from the Auxiliary and Elizabeth from American Medical Response made this work for us financially. But not just financially, but with their kindness and loving understanding. The support of my family has been crucial and boy have they come through for me. Sharon, Jocelyn, and Randy have been only a phone call away and put up with, and cared so well for our dogs, Jake and Sally (I thank Jake and Sally too, for this has been rough on them and they‘ve been troopers). Laura, the kids’ mom, was and is so kind. She‘s gone out of her way and I have respect for her. Roosters’ family stands behind me and loves us both, unconditionally. My sister Cristine will spend hours on the phone with me, and can always make me laugh and learn. Debbie (Roosters ex-wife and mother of his son, Adam) is such a cool lady. She loves him and cares about us both so much. Her prayers, too, have made an impact. I‘m so glad that we have made friends up here (in Idaho) as we’re kind of different and not from around these parts. Barbie and everyone at the store, you know who you are; Tracy, Gail, Chandra, and Connie; Marilyn and Cindy and Justin, a go to guy with big cojones. There are so many of you. Debbie R. what can you say? You’re such a good lady. You’re a true person and a giving and smart woman. Susan and James have been my lifeline, always good advice, and wow, what good cheerleaders they are. Mike and Pattie are extraordinary people. Jerry was and is Jerry, a good man and a loving soul. My love and thanks to all! Please forgive me if I didn’t mention your name... Too many people to note. Elena (Janie) Wolf ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To the Residents of Lincoln County: I would just like to thank all of the Communities for the amazing support the Libraries have received for our Summer Reading Programs. It is so wonderful how our County comes together to help us put on these events for the children in our area. It is a wonderful heartwarming feeling to belong to a great community like ours. In Richfield our Summer Reading Program will run for seven weeks in total this year. It is on Thursdays at 1:00 and will run until July 17th. We have plans to do many things like experiment with Soda geysers and learn about all of the

Richfield as a whole has always supported our Library and I am immeasurably grateful towards them. It is such an amazing feeling being able to be a small part of our community. In Shoshone the Summer Reading Program will run for six weeks in total. We started the program on July 11th and will run until July 16th, it will be in the city park directly following the schools Lunch Program. On July 16th we will be showing a movie in the park in the evening to wrap up the program. The movie license was obtained from a Car Wash that the Valley Co-op put on to benefit the Library, an enormous thank you goes out to Sarah and Nicole for putting this together for us. All of the local businesses have helped to obtain prizes to award all of our young readers out there. There are even some awards for the families who read the most. Our locally owned businesses have donated so much support so next time you stop somewhere in Shoshone be sure to thank them for helping to support the Library!! I am rarely at a loss for words (getting me to stop using words is normally the problem), yet when it comes to how much support the Richfield and Shoshone Libraries have received I find myself unable to express my gratitude in a way I consider accurate. So I will just leave every resident with my most deep and sincere Thanks. Clay Ritter, Librarian

Back in school I didn’t care for riddles. They didn’t seem to make any sense, maybe because when you repeated them, no one got them. Many a riddle, like a pun, has to be read to get the point of humor, and elephant jokes are the absolute worst kind of humor (I see those as an excuse to create conversation and not a good one). When the paper has room I try to throw in a few jokes. Now I have a few riddles stacked on my desk with no place to go. Today I’m cleaning a few papers off my desk (cleaning my desk?! That’s a joke in itself). So now, maybe you’ll find a place to store some of these riddles, hopefully not on your desk. Why should you leave your watch home when you take an airplane? Because time flies anyway. How can you tell twin witches apart? It is not easy to tell which witch is which. What is a calf after it is six months old? Seven months old. How does a boat show affection? It hugs the shore. What can you break without touching it? Your promise. What doesn’t get any wetter, no matter how much it rains? The ocean. What animal makes the most of it’s food? A giraffe... It makes a little go a long way. What kind of watch is best for people who don’t like time on their hands? A pocket watch. Spell “Indian tent” with two letters! TP What Roman numeral can climb a wall? IV (ivy) What word if pronounced right is wrong but if pronounced wrong is right? Wrong. When does a chair dislike you? When it can’t bear you. How can you tell the difference between a can of chicken soup and a can of tomato soup? Read the label. What does Brazil produce that no other country produces? Brazilians. What two things can’t you have for breakfast? Lunch and dinner. What belongs to you, but is used more by others? Your name. Why do firemen wear red suspenders? To keep their pants up. What can run but can’t walk? Water. Who can marry a lot of wives and still be single? A minister. Why shouldn’t you put grease on your hair the night before a test? If you did, everything might slip your mind. On what kind of ships do students study? Scholarships. When prices are going up, what remains stationary? Writing paper and envelopes. What do cowboys call a doctor’s hypodermic needle? A sick (six) shooter. Why are garbage men unhappy? Because they are down in the dumps so much. I still have a stack of papers left. The joke is still on me cause my desk isn’t clean. What is the difference between here and there? The letter “T”. This is my “Cup of Tee” for the weak (week).

Pursuing Excellence One Student at a Time Jeff Rast, Principal The Camas County School exists to prepare students to thrive in an ever-changing world. To accomplish this requires us to pursue excellence one child at a time. That is a tall order and one we take seriously. All layers of society (local, state and national) share that concern and have taken steps to ensure that schools adequately prepare students. For example, the state of Idaho implemented the Middle School Credit Requirement beginning with the 2010-11 school year. This requires that middle school students pass a minimum number of courses before they can be promoted to the next grade level the following year. For a school such as ours with a 14 credit load per year, each student must pass at least 12 credits to earn promotion. Consistent with this task, the Camas County School strives to help all students perform at or above grade level proficiency. Such a commitment proves challenging, even under the most favorable circumstances. This year has proven to be exceptionally challenging in that regard. Due to several factors, we have seen an unusual number of students leave the school within the last year. That is difficult for us to accept. Nevertheless, it does not deter us from pursuing our mission to help all students perform at or above grade level proficiency. I am grateful to serve with a staff that cares very much about children and their education. I would say that is the one factor that we all share in common. That prompts us to put in much time and thought to helping each child achieve. Staff discussions, both formally and informally, often focus on a particular student and explore ways to help that student even more. We honor the fact that each child is unique. That uniqueness is part of the priceless value and wonder of the child. The uniqueness of each child makes teaching such an interesting challenge for each teacher and we wouldn’t have it any other way. In order to help that child make adequate growth academically we focus on instructional planning that is based on student performance data. Each teacher does this extensively in the classroom. We also do it in broader strokes at the school level. For example, we have an RTI (Response to Intervention) team that periodically reviews student performance data to help identify those students who are not making grade level growth. We work with the teachers to identify the achievement gaps and recommend remediation strategies to get the student on track. Sometimes this includes specialized testing to identify factors that may interfere with learning effectiveness.
June 18, 19014
Every year presents its own set of challenges in helping students. And this year certainly illustrates that reality. This year’s challenges have been the subject of much internal discussion and reflection. Some challenges involve factors that are within our control. Some factors are beyond. As with any challenge though, we tackle what we can control with a view to identifying actions we can take to improve our effectiveness. Our mission demands it. Our personal and professional commitment demands it. Together, we remain resolved to pursue excellence one child at time.
