Celebrating Smokey Bear’s 70th Birthday TWIN FALLS, ID... To celebrate Smokey Bear’s Birthday the Sawtooth National Forest will host Rudy Wendelin’s collection of Smokey Bear Portraits. The Portraits will be displayed at the Sawtooth Supervisors Office, Minidoka Ranger District, Fairfield Ranger District, Ketchum Ranger District, Sawtooth National Recreation Area headquarters and the Redfish Visitor Center during regular office hours.

The “Smokey Bear

through the Eyes of Rudy Wendelin Gallery” was made available through the National Agricultural Library Special Collections in Maryland, and the Sawtooth display is one of many locations throughout the United States that will display the exhibit this summer.

Rudy Wendelin worked for the US Forest Service from 1949-1973 and took the approach to “soften and humanize” the appearance of Smokey Bear to gain the

attention of children. This method was very successful in helping spread the fire education message “Only You Can Prevent Wildfires” and continues to this day.

“This is a great opportunity for everyone to view some wonderful artwork on behalf of one of our most treasured icons,” says Monte Williams, Acting Forest Supervisor.

To view the complete Smokey Bear Collection Gallery please visit: specialcollections.nal.usda.gov

Trustee of the Year

Recently, the Idaho Hospital Association selected Lucy Osborne to receive the IHA’s Trustee of the Year Award. The award recognizes one hospital trustee who has made exemplary contributions to improve his or her hospital’s service to its patients and community. Lucy will be presented with her award at the 81st Annual IHA Convention, this October in Sun Valley.

Lucy began her service to North Canyon Medical Center in 2001 when she was appointed to the Gooding County Memorial Hospital (GCMH) District Board. She served there for the next ten years in various board positions. She was also a board member on the GCMH Foundation where she donated her time and financial resources to many fundraising events.

In November 2007, the GCMH District and St. Luke’s Health System signed an agreement to form a nonprofit hospital corporation, Partners in Healthcare, Inc. (PIH) DBA North Canyon Medical Center (NCMC). Lucy was appointed to the PIH Board at this time and served on various board committees, including planning, performance improvement and finance. She became the PIH Board Chairman in 2010 and continues to serve as an ex-officio on the board committees.

Lucy’s leadership and enthusiasm for the future of North Canyon Medical Center (NCMC) has inspired trust and confidence in the board, medical staff, community and employees. Her leadership has helped NCMC become a cohesive, dynamic organization with a desire to pursue opportunities that will enhance quality patient care and access.

Lucy’s service to the community extends beyond her dedication to the hospital board. She served as Chairman of the Gooding County Fair and Rodeo Board from 19821989 and was Rodeo Manager from 1989-1995. During this time, she brought Gooding County together to raise funds to build a new grandstand and concession area. She was honored by the City of Gooding when the road to the fairgrounds was named after her, “Lucy Lane.”

Dorothy Mae Strickland Dorothy Mae Strickland, 90, of Gooding, passed away surrounded by family on Saturday, June 21, 2014. She was born February 24, 1924, in the West Point area southwest of Wendell, to Joe and Bertha Stickle. Dorothy joined three older brothers, Arthur, Russell and Robert, who was lost when his submarine, the U.S.S. Capelin went down in the Celebes Sea in 1943. Her younger brother, Dick, would join the family ten years after Dorothy.

Dorothy and her brothers were raised in the Wendell area. She attended Wendell schools through her junior year of high school. She moved with her family in the fall of 1941 to North Long Beach, California, where her father began work in the shipyards and her mother at Douglas Aircraft. Dorothy attended her senior year and graduated from David Starr Jordan High School in Long Beach.

After graduation, she went to work for Metropolitan Life Insurance Company in Long Beach, and attended Compton Junior College for a time, before going to work as a bookkeeper for the Inspection Department of C-47 cargo planes at Douglas Aircraft.

In the fall of 1944, Dorothy returned to Idaho, joining the Cadet Nurse Corps and attending St. Alphonsus School of Nursing in Boise. In 1946, Dorothy left Boise to return to Wendell and marry her high school sweetheart, Richard (Dick) Strickland, son of Frank and Chlora Strickland.

Dick had just returned from the Army Air Corps, serving in the South Pacific. On April 7, 1946, Dick and Dorothy were married at the home of her grandparents, J.S. and Josephine Banks. The marriage lasted 56 years, until Dick’s

Vicki Rogers, 69, a resident of Gooding, passed away Monday, July 7, 2014 at her home in Gooding. Services will be held at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, July 15th at the Gooding LDS Church with visitation at the church beginning at 10 a.m. Burial will follow at Elmwood Cemetery.

death in 2002. In the first six years of their marriage, Dick and Dorothy spent winters on a ranch southeast of Wendell, and summers on the Camas Prairie. They farmed southwest of Wendell for two years, then bought 160 acres in the Shoestring Community (southwest of Gooding) in 1954. Dorothy still lived at the home place until just a month before her death.

Dorothy worked for the Agricultural Stabilization & Conservation Service in Gooding for twenty-five years, first as a program clerk, and the last two years as County Executive Director, until her retirement at the age of 60 in 1984. After retirement, she and Dick traveled south to Arizona with their fifthwheel trailer each winter, and also made trips to Alaska, Hawaii, California, and the East Coast. Dorothy always loved working in her yard and, like her mother before her, was known for beautiful iris beds. Many are the friends and family members that benefitted from Dorothy’s lovely craft work. She was always busy until her health began to fail. She and Dick tended a large garden every summer, and she canned its bounty in the fall. If the weather prevented her from working in her yard, then you could find her inside, knitting, crocheting, quilting, baking, or working on some other kind of project.

Dorothy was preceded in death by her parents, her four brothers, and her beloved husband, Dick. She was also preceded in death by her lifelong friends, Carmen Wheeler and (sister-in-law) Frances “Trip” Stickle. She is survived by her son, Rick (Sharon) Strickland, and her daughter, Kathy (Bob) Locke, of Gooding; five grandchildren, Brian (Julie) Locke of Chicago; Christine (Adrian) Celaya of Gooding; Amanda Strickland of Jerome; T.J. Strickland and Zach Strickland, both of Gooding; and eight great-grandchildren Xanti, Caydance, Dominixe, Brianna, Gage, Priscilla, Jaxon and John. She is also survived by four sisters-in-law, Joanne Stickle, Evelyn Strickland, Barbara Strickland, and Elva Strickland, as well as special nieces, nephews and cousins.

A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, July 9th, at the United Methodist Church in Gooding.

A private family inturnment will be held at the Wendell Cemetery.

The family requests memorial contributions in Dorothy’s name be made to: Gooding Relay For Life c/o Susan Bolton, 626 Colorado St., Gooding, Idaho; or the Gooding Community Chorale, P.O. Box 484, Gooding, Idaho.

Bernice Yore

Our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend, Bernice Yore, 92, died Saturday, June 28, 2014 at Bennett Hills Care Center in Gooding, Idaho.

Bernice was born at home July 28, 1921 in the small northern California town of Smartsville. She was the fifth of ten children born to Asa and Emma Wheaton Fippin.

She graduated from Marysville Union High School in 1939 and that same year was married to Jack Yore. They ranched and raised their family in Yuba County until 1962 when, together with Jack’s parents, they moved to a ranch north of Gooding. Following Jack’s death in 1979, Bernice moved to her home in Gooding where she has since resided.

“Gramma Niecie” was a homemaker and the glue that held our family together. Her life was centered around her family. She loved family get-togethers and took great joy in hearing about the activities of those she loved. Home was her favorite place to be surrounded by family and friends.

She enjoyed gardening, crossword puzzles, phone visits with special friends, playing pinochle, an occasional trip to Jackpot and the special times she spent with her Trinity Episcopal Church family. For many years she volunteered at the NCMC Auxiliary Thrift Shop and treasured the friendships she made there. We will long remember and miss her wonderful custard pies and the brown cookie jar filled with pea-

nut butter cookies. Although we often teased her about her frugality, we truly admired her strength of character and the valuable life lessons she taught us. She touched the hearts of many in her 92 years and will be greatly missed.

Bernice is survived by: her four sons, Mike (Cherie) of Sidney, MT, John (Pam) of Twin Falls, Tom (Audra) of Gooding, and Dan (Marilyn) of Hagerman; and her daughter, Susan (Fred) Faulkner of Gooding; her 14 grandchildren: Diane and Ben (Ginger) Yore; Scott, Yancey (Amy) and Pete (Mindi) Yore; Jed (Tina) and Tim (Kim) Yore and Tiffany Wagner; Kelly and Matt (Kim) Yore; Jeff (Janis) Faulkner, Laurie (Francis) Bahe, Cathy (Jeff) Pavkov and Jay (Becky) Faulkner; 24 great-grandchildren that will miss her smiles and hugs; one sister, Nellie of Washington; and numerous nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by: her parents; four brothers, Robert, Sid, Bud and Johnny; sisters, Julia, Jean, Verna and Freddie; and her husband, Jack.

The family gives special thanks to North Canyon Medical Center, Dr. Gies and Associates, and Bennett Hills Care Center for the thoughtful and compassionate care Bernice received.

Memorial contributions may be made to: the NCMC Auxiliary, P.O. Box 164, Gooding, ID 83330; the Gooding Senior Center, 308 Senior Avenue, Gooding, ID 83330; or a charity of your choice.

A service celebrating Bernice’s life was held Tuesday, July 8, 2014, at Demaray’s Funeral Chapel with interment at Elmwood Cemetery in Gooding.

One of the West’s Greatest Historic Outdoor Potluck Picnics! Free!

This year’s picnic honors the late artist George Carrico!

For the 101st annual Pioneer Picnic, the Camas Pioneer Association will dedicate the program to the late George Carrico, a Camas resident who carved the famous relief carving formerly located at the Johnson Hill overlook site.

The carving mysteriously disappeared some years later.

Carrico will be remembered and honored in remarks by friends and family members. Other activities will include a performance by the Idaho Old Time Fiddlers, a performance by Ruth Harrison of the Camas anthem, “O Camas My Camas,” written by the late Ralph Croner. The Picnic will also feature the big Camas history timeline exhibited invented and written by Beulah Baldwin!

The first Camas Pioneer Picnic was held in 1913 in the then-bustling town of Soldier, Idaho, just two miles north of today’s bustling town of Fairfield, now the Camas County seat. Since then, the Camas Pioneer Picnic, organized by the Camas Pioneer Picnic Association, has taken place every summer, in foul weather and (mostly) fair, to celebrate the first inhabitants of the Camas Prairie and their contemporary successors in a big community potluck! 101 years of potluck picnic perfection, an unbroken chain of three-bean salads, roast beef, startling jello dishes, brownies, cookies, green salads, mac and cheese, scalloped potatoes, etc., reaching back to the young years of the 20th Century!

Imagine! Think about it! The Camas Pioneer Picnic has survived annually from the age of horse and buggies and steam tractors, through the age of the automobile, to the space age, into the computer age, and into whatever age comes next! Over all that time, the Camas picnickers have seen good harvests and lean, peace and war, bounty and depressions, birth and loss, industries go, and industries arrive. The Pioneer Picnic has survived, giving Camas Pioneers old and young a summer afternoon dedicated to honoring together those have come, and who have passed, in our high Idaho valley beneath the sun.

The picnic is free, and all are heartily invited. Meat and drinks will be provided, and picnickers are requested to bring a salad, dessert or side dish for the big table. Picnickers may wish to bring chairs or stumps or something to sit on, though a fair amount of seating will be on site in the park. See you at the picnic on July 20 in Fairfield!

Immigration Woes One year ago, the Reagan family walked off an airplane in London, England. As they were going through passport control, Mr. Reagan was pull aside and his wife and three children didn’t hear from him for nearly 24 hours, and he was half a world away.

No, he wasn’t a spy called off for special duty (though that might have crossed his imagination on occasion), rather, he was caught up in Great Britain’s immigration bureaucracy.

For those of you who might be wondering, I am not talking about the editor of this newspaper, but his younger brother, Herbert Reagan.

The story all began over twenty years ago when Herbert graduated from Seattle Pacific University. After contemplating what to do with his life, he decided to spend a year with a missionary organization in England called YWAM - Youth With A Mission. One year turned into a second, and a young lady from Nottingham joined the Reagan Clan.

Herbert and Gillian spent the next ten years in England working with YWAM, then decided that South Africa was the place they needed to be. Along with their two boys they moved to Cape Town, South Africa, where they spent the next ten years, had another son, and helped start a brand new church.

As missionaries, they lived in South Africa under temporary visas.

This allowed them to do anything related to the church, but it did not allow them to legally work, and those visas could be revoked at anytime. The solution was to apply for permanent residency, which they did, yet South Africa’s immigration bureaucracy was extremely slow to respond - too slow for them to remain in South Africa before their visas expired.

So, they decided to move back to England to be near Gillian’s family. The family and all their belongings arrive safely, but Herbert was sent back to South Africa. He had been assured by the British consulate in South Africa that he could obtain a 6-month visitor visa, then apply for a Settlement visa while in England (since he had previously held permanent residency in the UK). That turned out to be wrong due to some changes in the law.

In South Africa (again), Herb received a 3-month visitors visa, but it soon became evident that this would not be enough time to complete the immigration process. He then flew to America where he moved in with his aunt and uncle who live in Georgia, and for the last year he has been working through the legal process of rejoining his family.

This week, after numerous obstacles which included appeals to the court system and computer glitches, Herbert is headed off to England just a few days short of the one-year anniversary of this adventure.

The Adventures of Joe Sabin the Noxious Weed Slayer Part 1

by... the Camas Bug Crew

Cold, wet sweat dripped down Joe’s face. Joe had never encountered a tenacious patch of Canada Thistle like this before. Few people realize that this aggressive, colony- forming perennial weed that reproduces by seed and has deep extensive horizontal roots can choke the life out of the locals and overwhelm anything in its path. Joe held a critical piece of knowledge that was essential to his mission. He knew that Canada Thistle flowering occurs from June to August and that if these weeds were allowed to mature, all would be lost.

Canada Thistle is a formidable enemy. A native of southeastern Eurasia, it first invaded Canada hiding in contaminated crop seed in the 18th century. It rapidly advanced south, and if not stopped threatened the very American way of life.

The stems of Canada thistle are typically one to four feet tall with alternate oblong or lanced shaped leaves divided into spiney tipped daggers of doom. It is a menace to both man and beast. From the majestic bovine grazing in the field to the small boy in short pants chasing after and overthrown ball; this weed attacks with vicious thorns, ripping at flesh and leaving mayhem in its wake.

The country was put on red alert and turned to its last hope, Joe Sabin. Joe had extensive experience with many noxious weeds, but with this weed he knew he had met his match. If things didn’t change soon he would be forced into hand to plant combat. What the Canada Thistle didn’t know was that Joe had an ace up his sleeve.

Hidden in a vial, strapped to his brawny, sinewy back, Joe held the Achilles heel of Canada Thistle, Urophora cardui; otherwise known as a gall stem fly. This Biological Control agent attacks Canada thistle stems and forms a gall which acts as a metabolic sink. This metabolic sink decreases the nutrient supply available to the plant thereby reducing plant vigor and competitive ability.

Adult flies emerge from galls in late spring to early summer, mate, and females deposit one to 30 eggs in Canada Thistles vegetation shoots. Fly larvae initiate gall development by tunneling into the plant stem. Larvae grow slowly while the gall is developing and attain 98% of their body weight as the gall matures.

Joe had spent the summer fighting this weed across Camas County. Lucky for Joe, he’s not alone in this fight. As Joe forged ahead in an all- out frontal assault, the Camas Bug Crew flanked the enemy hoping to capitalize in their weakness before flowering could occur. The final battle took place in the demon’s lair at Satan’s Garden up Chimney Creek. The war waged fierce, favoring one side then the other. In the end good prevailed and evil was vanquished. Joe Sabin emerged with the head of the beast and he was declared a national hero.

July 9, 2014

To this day residents can come to the Grangehall in Fairfield to see the corpse of a once great foe. Joe’s sidekick, Urophora cardui still flies high above the native grasslands of Camas County ready to defend his homeland against foreign invaders. Vigilance is the key to containing this despotic weed from the Netherlands.

If you want to join the fight please contact Eric McHan or Joe Sabin @ 934-4640 or Becky Freiberg @ 539-4274. Stay tuned for Joe’s next battle as he goes ninja on Knapweed.
