News Stewart Creek Fire
On August 20th, dry lightning started a fire 18 miles northwest of Fairfield. Currently, the fire is entirely on National Forest land about 3 miles southeast of the Iron Mountain Lookout on Stewart Creek (between the middle fork and the south fork of Lime Creek). As of Tuesday, September 4, the size of this fire was just over 2200 acres with 37% containment. Only two cabins are in any danger and no structures have been lost. Over the Labor Day weekend, the Chimney Creek road was closed for the safety of recreationists and hunters, and to keep the roadway safe for firefighting equipment. There is also a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR), in effect for the fire area to protect the helicopters being used in this operation. This restriction includes the use of drones, something which has already occurred. Drones are extremely dangerous to helicopters. There are about 400 personnel assigned to this fire, but due to extremely steep terrain and hazardous standing dead trees, ground crews are mostly busy building firelines in accessible areas. The goal is to use backfire (when weather conditions are appropriate) to fully contain the fire. Backfires will from time to time send up large plumes of smoke. This fire may continue into October and there is no firm timeline for complete containment. Weather conditions are good right now, but things can change rapidly. Hunters and recreationists are asked to check with the Forest Service before traveling in this area, and to observe all road-closers signs.

Correction: Free Clinic for Lincoln County
From the Editor
In last week’s article by guest writer Ginny Greene regarding the Free Clinic in Shoshone, it was stated that, “Initially... the idea reached out to include other counties. It soon became apparent that a tighter focus would facilitate actual results.” Readers might conclude from that statement that the Good Samaritan Clinic’s “tighter focus” was to exclude people from other counties from their services. That is ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE! The Good Samaritan Clinic is open for qualified individuals REGARDLESS of their county of residence (including the homeless with no official county of residence). Dr. Keith Davis (Medical Director of the Good Samaritan Clinic) also wants everyone to know that, for those who qualify, there is no waiting list, and they are now trying to offer services approximately every two weeks.

Becky Schoettger
Becky Schoettger, a longtime Gooding resident and elementary teacher, passed away August 29 at her home. The youngest of four children born to Gene and Dorothy Kelly, she had a playful and light-hearted personality that drew everyone, especially children, to her. Becky graduated from the University of Idaho in 1976 where she was a member of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. She started dating Jim Schoettger when they reconnected in Gooding while Becky was on break from University of Idaho. Becky completed her student teaching in Boise, Idaho during their courtship. The two married on June 3, 1978. They made their home in Gooding where they were blessed by two children, Lisa and John. Her first and only teaching job was for Gooding School District. Becky taught school for 33.5 years; her first ten years teaching were spent at the Kindergarten level. She started a Kindergarten class in a room set up in the Old Tuberculosis (TB) Hospital south of town. Becky later taught kindergarten in the modular buildings behind the Gibbons Elementary School. Becky and Lisa graduated from Kindergarten to first grade together. She taught the rest of her career at the first-grade level. Becky loved the challenge of helping the youngest children grow into intelligent, kind people. She laughed about teaching for so long, she had her students’ children in her class. Becky served her community and church as the President for the local chapter of PEO as well as the Catholic Women’s League. Becky made many friends among teachers, staff, and students. Becky had a kind and gentle approach to living. She was a caring presence in the lives of her husband, children, grandchild, in-laws, and parents. She ran countless errands, shared hundreds of meals, and baked dozens of cookies to brighten someone’s day. She organized parties and family dinners. During retirement, she enjoyed making one-of-a-kind greeting cards for family and friends. Over time, Becky’s designs grew more unique and personal, bringing pleasure to any who received them. She was generous in donating cards to the North Canyon Medical Center. The cards were available at no-cost to those with loved ones in need of a kind gesture. Handmade cards were just one way Becky expressed her love to others. She will be terribly missed by her husband of 40 years, Jim Schoettger, her daughter, Lisa, son, John, daughter-in-law, Joey, grandson, Mason, father-in-law, John Schoettger Sr., sisters, Nancy Kelly and Susan (Jerry) Westendorf, brother, Steve Kelly, and her many friends. Mass of Christian Burial was held on Tuesday, September 4, 2018, at St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church, Gooding, Idaho. Burial followed at Elmwood Cemetery, Gooding, Idaho. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations may be made to The Gooding School District Foundation.

LaDonna M. Wilkins
LaDonna M. Wilkins, 90, of Bliss, passed away on Monday, August 13, 2018 in Hagerman, joining her loved ones and friends who passed on before. LaDonna was born on April 28, 1928 in Twin Falls, Idaho. She attended Pomona College in California. LaDonna married the love of her life, Charles “Dutch” Wilkins on November 26, 1948 at the Church of the Brethren in Twin Falls, Idaho. She was active in the Church of the Brethren in Twin Falls; and in the early 60’s when the family moved to the community that became “home” she was active in the Bliss Community Church. LaDonna worked from 1972 through 2000 in the Bliss School System cooking, helping in the office and being a class advocate, helping many students. As a homemaker she nurtured nine children with love and compassion, instilled a love for gardening, canning, cooking, a good work ethic, and Sunday family excursions to find desert and mountain treasures. Her love of family was extended to many cousins, our classmates and friends - everyone who was part of our childhood was considered “her” kids and her love for all was endless. She is survived by eight of nine children: Kathy Wilkins of Twin Falls; Charles (Linda) Wilkins, Mayleen (Rex) Harding of Jerome; Kristeen (Steve) Quigley, Charleen (Mike) Thompson, Mona Allen of Bliss; Lesleen (Bernie Pointes) Kober of Pine; Larry (Kim)Wilkins of Green River, WY; 24 grandchildren, 44 great-grandchildren and 4 great-great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death: by her husband, Charles (Dutch) Wilkins; son, Louis A. Wilkins; father and mother, Lawrence A. Murphy and Ruth Hesp Davis; two brothers; one sister; and two great granddaughters. Funeral services were held on Saturday, August 18, 2018, at the Bliss Community Church. Services concluded at the church with a private family burial to take place at the Hagerman Cemetery. Funeral arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel. Memorial contributions may be made in LaDonna’s name to Idaho Home Health and Hospice.

Letter to the Editor
For some of us, it took longer than others to see a recovery from the Great Recession. Others are still waiting. It seems like the middle class is always getting squeezed. When it comes to state and local budgets, funding for teachers, police and firefighters and others who work in the public interest can be contentious. When times are tough, that is when priorities are really tested. I know Idahoans value their families, their kids, public education and safe communities. That is why I hope people will vote this year and vote for the candidates who will fight for the people who teach our kids, put fires out and keep us safe. Our communities are only as strong as the choices we make at the local and state level. That is where the decisions that affect our lives most are made. I’ll be voting for Muffy Davis, Michelle Stennett and Sally Toone, for state legislature because they will fight for Idaho values and work for strong education policies and funding in Boise.

Cup of Tee
Perhaps you have heard the expression, “You are not from around here, are you?” It is an expression that indicates you may have a different dialect, customs, actions, or knowledge of an area. In a small town, we often notice when people are “not from around here,” similar to the Spring thaw and everyone’s car is tan... not washed white. For the past month I have been in Central Utah hauling wood chips on a 10,000 foot mountain. There was and 15,000 acre forest fire. The U.S. Forest Service flew seed all over the area. To keep the seed in place and the area from eroding, wood chips were helicopter dropped. My job was to transfer the chips, partially hauled up the mountain, to the top of the mountain where the helicopter could fly them. When you have loaded trucks pulling a grade similar to the one we were on, forest service vehicles, water trucks, road graders, and the helicopter crew, one needs very good communication. It is good to have everyone speak English at least enough that dialects aren’t a problem. Everyone was on the same radio frequency and that particular frequency was basically only for hill traffic use. As I pulled the grade I had to figure exactly where I was in relation to where everyone else was. The road was only one vehicle wide and there were very few places to pass. I discovered an old Model A car below a large switchback (approximately 270 turn). I started to call that the “Big Switchback” or
1-888-934-1862 • Wednesday, September 5, 2018 • The Courier NEWS
by Tee Hurd
“Model A Corner.” Another smaller switchback was called Little Switchback. A spring where the cattle drank was called the Watering Hole. I found an old campfire site, added some more rocks for height and called it Campfire Rock. Everyone started calling these areas by the names I’d created. The locals quizzed me on the Model A Corner. “Where did you see a Model A?” They had been there for years and had not seen it. It was because I was in a truck I was able to see it. I told them I saw it in a pickup my very first run up the mountain, not the Kenworth. Half mile markers were placed on the road and everyone announced them. The one and a half mile marker just happened to be at the Model A corner. While waiting for a vehicle to come up the mountain, I went to look at the Model A body. To my surprise, it was not a Model A with the top cut off but a late 40’s Chevrolet pickup cab upside down. Communication was established cause I had convinced everyone it was a Model A. What is really obvious is “I wasn’t from around there!” In years to come and I’m standing at Campfire Rock pondering my “Cup of Tee,” I can tell one next to me asking about the spot, “You are not from around here, are you?”
