Water Project Begins in Fairfield
Lincoln County Fair & Rodeo
Folks in Fairfield need to be extra careful as they travel around town. On Monday, excavation started on west Sage Avenue for the city’s water project. Over the next couple of months, they will be working in various areas around town, but an extra effort is being made to make sure the City Park area is finished before the Camas County Fair - August 1 thru 5. Later this fall, construction will begin on a new well and water tank at the Mill Park Subdivision (west side of town). In other news, the Fairfield City Council gave final approval to their new Sign Ordinance (#248) at last Thursday’s meeting. In a effort to elliminate abiguity, the new ordinance lists 43 definitions of signs and locations of signs, including billboards and animated/lighted signs to sandwich board and banners. For those who are considering putting up a sign, the city will be requring a permit “to erect, construct, reconstruct, structurally alter, or change the use of any sign, as defined...” in the ordinance. Prohibited signs include billboards and neon signs (unless neon tubes are used for indirect illumination of lettering). The new ordinance also lists a number of signs that are exempt. These include: traffic signs, political signs for specific elections, real estate and construction signs (unlighted and temporary), flags, event signage, murals, etc. For a complete copy of Ordinance 248, go to the Fairfield City Office.
For those of you who want to put up a display at the Lincoln County Fair, the Community Hall will open this Friday at noon for decoration. This Saturday, July 21st at 1 p.m., the Junior Rodeo will kick off the main events at the rodeo arena. The IMPRA Rodeo will be held next Thursday and Friday (26th & 27th) at 8 p.m. each night, followed by the Ranch Rodeo on Saturday night (28th) starting at 7 p.m. The 4-H shows will take place all next week starting on Monday with the Horse show at 9 a.m. On Tuesday, the Style review will be at 8 a.m. and open dairy will start at noon.

2012 Camas Bug Crew
Camas County Historical Society Museum Schedule
Writing articles, creating a booth for the fair, monitoring vegetation growth, using state if the art G.P.S. technology, sweeping for bugs, and having loads of fun… What do all of these things have in common? They are all components of the Camas County Bug Crew. This year welcomes back returning veteran Alison Walker. She will share her expertise with new members Tana Sabin, Hunter Rasmussen, Isabelle Ornelas, and Jerry Gonzalez. Our supervisor is Eric McHan. Crew training began June 13, with presentations from Joey Milan from the BLM and Dwight Scarborough from the USFS. We learned about insect life cycles, weed phrenology, equipment safety, GPS systems, and weed growth monitoring techniques. This summer the Bug Crew is busy visiting existing sites. We are excited to report that our leafy spurge sites have had stunted growth for several years. We are still waiting for the United States Department of Agriculture to release a new insect for White Top. The wheels of Government turn slowly but for good reason. Each insect we use goes through 10 years of testing to ensure they will only attach the target weed and not Agricultural plants. This next week our crew is headed to Shake Creek to participate in the USFS Apthona complex and Oberea moth collection. The summer holds many challenges and activities to keep our crew busy. However; we always need more noxious weed sites; so if you have knapweed, thistle, leafy spurge, purple loosestrife, or toadflax give us a call. We are looking for sites that will be till, spray, and disturbance free for 7 to 10 years. If you need more information please call Eric McHan at 934-4640 or Becky Freiberg at 539-4274.

Diana Dewey Retires For the last thirty-four year, the Gooding Recreation District’s swimming pools have been managed by Diana Dewey. Hundreds of kids in Gooding and the surrounding areas have learned the basics of treading water from Mrs. Dewey, and many of her students (including her own children) have gone on to become lifeguards and/or instructors. Earlier this month, friends and family gathered together to honor her commitment to the youth of Gooding, and to give her a fond farewell as she retired from the pool system. Gooding Rec. Dist. Chairman, Kent Seifert, presented Mrs. Dewey with a plaque and everyone enjoyed a bit of cake in her honor. She may have retired from pool management, but the orchestra at North Valley Academy will continue to benefit from her musical talents. She will also continue to inspire private students in violin and piano. Thank you Mrs. Dewey for make our community a better place for all our children.

MMA Corner with Bill Hanson
The Courier NEWS - 5
Fair Time Double Feature Movie Saturday, July 28 starting at 4 p.m. At the Lighthouse Church – Fairfield
Fusion MMA in Gooding, Idaho has two local fighters from Shoshone who will be participating in their first cage match on August 11th in Lewiston, Idaho. Joe Hampton and Kyle Boothe will enter the cage at the Clearwater Casino to fight in the monthly event put on by promoter Frank Arnett. Both fighters train with Fusion MMA in Gooding and are excited to get in there and bring home a win. Fusion MMA has sent many fighters to this event and we have done very well – only one loss out of eight matches. The most important thing I try and teach my fighters is respect for the sport and their opponents – touch gloves at the beginning of the fight and shake hand afterwords. Both Joe and Kyle are very respectful and train hard, both to do well in their fights and to represent MMA in a positive manner. In other news of the sport and for those who didn’t have a chance to watch the last UFC PPV, Tito Ortiz fought his last fight with Forest Griffin. It went all three rounds and Forest Griffin claimed the victory by unanimous decision. Tito said he would retire after this fight having spent the last fifteen years fighting for the UFC. Tito Ortiz was a pioneer in this sport and helped pave the way for many fighters and upcoming fighters. He will be greatly missed. Fusion MMA is currently working with other training centers/promoters to provide more opportunities for those fighters who train in Idaho to fight in Idaho. It can be expensive to travel to other states for competition. If you are interested in MMA and have questions, feel free to contact me, Bill Hanson, at 208-320-0469.

Operation Facelift 2nd Annual Revitalization Project Community Winners Announced Twin Falls, ID — July 13, 2012 – A two week long regional effort to spruce-up southern Idaho downtown communities has concluded with over 30 businesses cleaned up, painted and given a new look as part of SIEDO’s “Operation Facelift – New look. New Attitude. New Business.” One business from each of the 9 participating southern Idaho communities was selected as the winning project to receive a $1,000 credit to run a television advertisement on local KMVTTV in Twin Falls. The City of Burley participated by planting and placing over 300 potted plants throughout the city. Winning projects for each city were: Desktop by Designs Twin Falls; John’s Barber Shop / Dynamite Nails and Toes Jerome; Sunrise Cleaners - Rupert; Kimberly Fitness Center Kimberly; Filer Auto Parts - Filer; Tiny Bubbles Laundromat Paul; Stockmen’s Club - Wendell; Gooding Cinema - Gooding; and the Kruger Building - Glenns Ferry. The City of Rupert was voted as “Most Improved City” and the City of Filer was voted “Most Improved City” runner up. Randy Shroll, Idaho Department of Commerce and Stephanie Cook, Idaho National Lab judged the projects in each city. “Seventy revitalization projects have been completed over the last two years to improve the appearance of downtown communities across our region,” said Jan Rogers, Executive Director of SIEDO. “This growing grassroots effort really shows the pride each community has for their city.” According to Larry Hall, Southern Idaho Rural Development Coordinator and Operation Facelift Project Co-Manager, “This year, nearly 1,000 volunteers from 10 southern Idaho communities came out to scrub walls, windows, paint and plant to improve their downtown areas,” Over 30 downtown businesses throughout our region have been spruced up, building community pride and downtown commerce. We’re so pleased with the amazing volunteer effort put forth by so many community members,” he said Operation Facelift is coordinated through SIEDO and Southern Idaho Rural Development and supported by the Idaho Department of Commerce and Idaho National Lab. For more information on Operation Facelift, contact Larry Hall at larry@rivda.org or Jan Rogers at janrsiedo@aol.com.

...but never Compromising the Truth.
Cup of Tee
A few weeks ago, Editor Ed place a bumpersticker in my “bumpersticker of the week” slot that said, “Where’s Tee?” The next week after said bumpersticker, “Where in the World is Tee?” was in its spot. The second entry, “Where in the World is Tee?” is perhaps the easiest to answer... I was lost in cyberspace. I know that sounds strange coming from a guy who can barely type his name, much less know “Where in the World?” I was in computer terms. At any rate, sorry I was not able to join you for a “Cup of Tee.” And, for the week of “Where’s Tee?” I believe I was busy harvesting hay with round-the-clock hours. Once again, my apologies. To say, “Where’s Tee?” is quite a compliment actually. It gives you the same good feeling as, “Where’s Waldo?” the cartoon character in the red & white stripes with a hat. Waldo was everywhere. Putting into perspective, “Where is one?” is a good timeline checker. I am the absolute worst to know where I am. A person should check with themselves three to six time a year to make sure they are on track for everything. Did you make goals earlier? Did you follow them? Did you set goals too high to achieve without seeing rewards? Did you utilize connections? These questions need to be answered regularly. How is your actual health? The answer is worth more than a lot of money (daily question). Do you have adequate insurance coverage? Do you know what your policy covers? Is your coverage up with the times? Another time to check the fine print. Are you tired of high fuel cost? Have you put pressure on your elected officials about the problem? Situations that definitely need constant monitoring. Have you had your water and septic system checked? If not your personal, are you aware of the municipal structure? Water is a lifeline. Have you given your property an inspection for noxious weed? Unattended they create years of seed bank or take over your property. When was the last time you crawled under your house to inspect the foundation, pipes, insulation, or duct work? These things are not as visible as your roof and are often forgotten. (chimney cleaned?) Have you reduced clutter in your life? Clutter seems to work a double shift. You do it once and when you rid it, the time takes twice to three times as long. Precious time used up. Have you called a friend or family member just to say hi? Have you sat and enjoyed family pictures of a family dinner? Boy, if you think of things to check, the list could be added to quickly. This is my “Cup of Tee” with a short version of “Where is one?” Tee Hurd
