News A Legacy of Service
During this year’s Outlaw Day celebration, the members of a long time Richfield family gathered together for what may be the last time for some of them. In the early 1920’s William Brown traveled from Illinois to Richfield, Idaho, where he worked many years for the Big Wood Canal company. His future wife, Lena, came from Colorado to Richfield in the early 1920’s too, and in 1927, they were married. In 1928 Ruth Anne was born, the first of eight children. She was followed by Bill, Duane, Tracy, Nancy, Clayton, Ross, and John. While there are many families from that time period with lots of children, the Brown family is unique with eight members having served in the military - six brothers and two brothers-in-law. Three of the brothers (John, Tracy & Bill)
served in the Army and three (Ross, Clayton & Duane) served in the Navy. Ernest Walker (married to Nancy) served in the Air Force and was the crew chief on the first B-36 to fly around the world. Neldon Giles (Ruth’s husband) was blind in one eye but that didn’t stop him from serving... for a short while. In 1942 Neldon joined the Army and made it through almost all of basic training. On the rifle range, however, his bad eye tripped him up and he was given an Honorable Medical Discharge. This year’s Brown Family Reunion was marked by a special event with the placing of eight new bricks at the Lincoln County Veteran’s Memorial in front of the Courthouse in Shoshone. The bricks were laid on the west side of the memorial next to the bricks of other veterans from the Richfield community. The Brown family is an example of the pride and patriotism that makes our small Idaho communities great. The only challenge is remembering, remembering the sacrifice individuals have made throughout history to help make our nation what it is today, and what we hope it will continue to be.

$ Ribbon Cutting for Gooding’s New Skate Park
by Kailana Featherston Many people have been waiting for Gooding’s new skate park to finish and now here it is! The ribbon cutting at Gooding Skate Park will take place July 1st. The skate park idea came about six years ago from a youth group that called themselves “The Dream Skate Committee.” They raised about $5,000 for the process of building the skate park. Duke Morton, the late mayor who died in June of 2013, wanted this skate park for youths so they could have good access for this type of activity for outdoor excitement. The skate park will be named after Duke Morton for the encouragement he had for this project. Glanbia Foods helped this dream come true by donating $30,000. Idaho Parks and Recreation Department also helped with $92,000 as part of a 50-50 matching grant. In about two years, picnic shelters and a BMX trail will be added. As for now, the skate park will be a thrill of excitement for the Gooding community and it’s youth.
Pastor Chuck Butler’s Retirement A Open House will be held for Pastor Chuck and Fay Butler at the Fairfield Community Church on June 25th from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. The community is cordially invited.

“Know Before You Go”
If you plan to visit national forest areas during the Independence Day holiday (July 4th) weekend, “Know before you go,” suggests Sawtooth National Forest Supervisor Kit Mullen. What’s important to know? Read on! Fireworks are Prohibited on all national forests year-round. Responsible Motorized Use. Please stay on designated routes and obtain the appropriate travel maps before you go. Be Careful with Fire. There are no fire restrictions at this time, but fires can start very quickly and burn in vegetation that may seem green. Please, when leaving your campsite for the day or when leaving for home, “make sure your campfire is cold to the touch”. Recreation Information. If you have a concern about your favorite site, call the Sawtooth National Forest at 208-737-3200 for information. For good measure be prepared to carry out your trash and bring additional water. Keep it Clean to Avoid Bear Encounters! Bears often develop a strong liking for human and pet foods. Store food in hard-sided vehicles or bearproof containers; keep sleeping areas, tents and sleeping bags free from food and food odors; and wash up, change clothes and remove all scented articles nearby before going to bed. Wild bears avoid people, but bears conditioned to human food can be aggressive and may be euthanized if problems occur.

Oliver H. Lowry
Oliver H. (Podge) Lowry was born July 30, 1925 at Magic, Idaho. He passed away March 3, 2015 at his home in Shoshone. Podge was the youngest child and only son of Oliver Lowry Sr. and Jessie Wimer Lowry. He spent his first three years of life at the homestead just west of Magic Reservoir before moving to the farm northwest of Shoshone where he grew up and spent the remainder of his life. He met his sweetheart Bertha (Bert) Lanning at a grange dance and together they spent their lives working on the farm. Podge was a man of many talents. First and foremost he was a very good farmer. He was also quite skilled as a mechanic, welder, electrician, plumber and carpenter. Podge had a great appreciation of nature, learning at a very early age from his father how to hunt and fish and find his way in the mountains. His sense of direction was impressive to all whom ever had the opportunity to follow him through the hills and valleys in the dark, or in a blinding blizzard while hunting or snowmobiling. He loved to travel the highways and byways and was notorious for suggesting last minute road trips intended for an overnight stay
which, more than once, stretched into 3000 mile, multi-state adventures. Bert quickly learned to pack her “overnight bag” appropriately. Podge loved Idaho and explored from north to south and east to west never forgetting the highway numbers traveled, names of the towns, rivers, mountain ranges and points of interest. Detailed stories of these explorations, as well as his elk hunting trips into the Selway Wilderness Area and many other special places, were always welcomed and thoroughly enjoyed by friends and family alike. Podge is survived by three children, Cheryl (Larry) Braun of Shoshone, Marlene (Earl Peck) Lowry of Bellevue and Randy (Kathy Davidson) Lowry of Shoshone; two grandchildren, Brandi (T. C.) Scheer of Lumberton, MS, and Kurtis (Jessica Berks) Braun of Uniontown, WA; and one great-grandson, Benton Scheer. He was preceded in death by his wife, parents, sister and grandson, Aaron Lowry. A joint celebration of Podge’s life, and the life of his wife Bert, was held on Thursday, June 18, 2015, at 11:00 a.m. at the Shoshone Cemetery in Shoshone. Arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service, Shoshone Chapel.

Herbert Dean Allred, Sr.
Our beloved Herb, 85 of Twin Falls, Idaho formerly of Gooding, passed away at home on June 19, 2015. He was born on September 14, 1929 in Ponca, Arkansas to Wert and Pearl Allred. He moved with his family to Twin Falls in 1942. In 1948 the family moved to King Hill, Idaho. Herb was a member of the Army from 1954-1957.

Together they had two sons: Herbert Dean Allred, Jr. and Ricky Gene Allred. Herb was a lifelong farmer after completing his military service. In 1962 the Allred’s moved to Gooding where he farmed for many years before retiring in 2006 and moving to Twin Falls. This farm boy took to city life with gusto and soon developed a strong foursome with his daily walking buddies: Vic Graybeal; Jack Clifford; and Ellis Reddick. This group of friends walked daily three miles or more. Herb is remembered very fondly for his quick wit; infectious laugh, jokes and his love of family and friends. He never met a stranger and made both new and old friends welcome and comfortable. Herb is preceded in death by his son: Ricky Gene Allred, his parents Wert and Pearl Allred; his brother Denver Allred; and sisters, Helen Arbaugh and Ora Decker. He is survived by his wife of 60 years Shirley, son Herbert (Becky) Allred; grandsons: Brian and Josh (Sabrina) Allred two great granddaughters: Isabella and Cristiana Allred as well as his sister Shirley Lisle. He leaves a very large extended family who will miss him greatly. And finally he leaves his loyal and dedicated four legged friend Sophie. We are blessed to have had him as part of our family and he will be greatly missed. Services will be held at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, June 24, 2015 at Demaray Funeral Service in Gooding with visitation at 11 a.m. Burial will follow at Glenn Rest Cemetery in Glenns Ferry.

Gooding Community Theater presents... With this year being a dry year without a lot of snow reserve, everyone is going to want to take advantage of a cool or wet spot. The ditches, creeks and lakes are calling our names. But... let me warn you, there are demons waiting in the nearby darkness to keep you from enjoying shade or a wet cool area! These demons are hard to see and have multiplied undetected. So, their numbers are great. They prey upon young and old alike. The demons I’m talking about are green in color and go by a name called Poison Ivy. With an early Spring the conditions have been good for the poison ivy plants to take root with extended growth. Poison Ivy is a plant that has three shiny spear shaped leaflets sharing a stem. It is a vine type plant that can use other host plants for support. With saplings of Popular or Cottonwood trees, the poison ivy plants blend in real well. In fact, with an abundance of other green plants, the poison ivy is well camouflaged. A substance called urushiol is produced by Poison Ivy, Poison Oak, and Poison Sumac. You only have to be exposed to a small amount of urushiol to create a rash (usually as small as a grain of salt). Chances of getting a rash from Poison Ivy are greater when you have whiten untanned skin or you are perspiring. The wet skin in sweaty conditions help attract the urushiol oil. The rash obtained from Poison Ivy is a red rash with pimple like spots. The arms and legs are generally the areas of infection due to the exposed skin. The rash itself is not contagious from one person to another, but the urushiol from clothing or pet fur could create the rash. Severe itching may cause great discomfort, but normally, the rash runs its course in two to three weeks. If exposed to Poison Ivy one should wash their clothes and cleanse the skin. Under fingernails should not be forgotten because they can hold the oil to spread it by scratching. Soap and water, alcohol, or red apple vinegar, will cleanse the infected area. Some home remedies that help cure Poison Ivy are baking soda, aloe vera, oatmeal, dish soap, lemon juice, cucumbers, ground aspirin, rhubarb stem, and lavender oil. Depending on your personal make up, some of these may or may not work for you. Calamine lotion could help dry the infected skin. The best protection from Poison Ivy is knowledge. Know what Poison Ivy looks like so you aren’t waist deep in it. The second best protection is probably long sleeved shirts and long pants. “Leafs of Three avoid Thee” may help as well. Tee This is my “Cup of Tee” under caution.

Financial Advisor 442 Main Street Gooding, Idaho 83330 208-934-5001
Washington, D.C. – Idaho Senator Mike Crapo has been warning about the growing federal debt during the nearly 90 town meetings he has held across Idaho since last fall. Now, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has issued a report adding to those concerns: left unchecked, the debt will double in two decades and could soon exceed the total economic output of the U.S. “Our nation may not survive this forecast if we don’t hold the line on spending,” Crapo said. “Spending is out of control. Raising taxes is not the answer. We need to reform the tax code and get spending under control. We are taking in record amounts of tax revenue, yet our debt picture continues to drop precipitously. We are now in the position where simply paying the interest on the debt will soon exceed all of our other domestic spending programs. But if we will take that step to reform our mandatory spending programs, create strong spending enforcement measures and reform our tax code, economists say we will reap economic development that will create jobs and economic activity to help with our deficits.” Crapo, a member of the Senate Budget Committee, carries charts throughout his Idaho meetings demonstrating how, left unchecked, payments on the debt will exceed non-military discretionary spending by the year 2020 and all defense spending by the year 2023. The CBO built on that model by forecasting the federal debt to double by 2040 if current tax and spending trends continue. The non-partisan agency said federal debt will reach 103-percent of the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP) by that point. The present debt load is 74-percent of the GDP. Crapo says economists studying the economic history of nations worldwide have concluded few can survive such a debt-to-GDP ratio without suffering an economic collapse where interest payments would gut benefit payments and other government services for Americans. “According to the new report, if lawmakers wanted the debt in 2040 to equal its 50-year average, it would require Congress to either raise taxes or cut annual spending by an additional $480 billion per year, every year for the next 25 years,” Crapo added. “But, if Congress and the President continue to kick the can down the road, and don’t start addressing the long-term debt until 10 years from now, Congress would either need to raise taxes or cut annual spending by about $775 billion per year, every year from 2026 through 2040. “This report also reinforces how troubling it is that the President has threatened to veto any appropriations bill that does not spend more than the levels set in the spending caps that he himself signed into law just a couple years ago. When the government clearly can’t afford the current levels and current path of spending, threatening to walk away from the table unless the government spends substantially more is simply irresponsible.”
