Candidates for November Elections
The candidates for this year’s elections are registered ready to start soliciting your votes. For those of you who are last-minute procrastinating politicians, you still have until September 20th to register as a write–in candidate for political subdivisions such as cemetery districts, fire protection districts, and recreation districts. The last day to register as a write–in for a city position is October 8th. In Camas County, no one has met the filing deadline to be on the ballot for the Fairfield city council or mayor. That leave just three weeks for individuals to register as write–ins. Regardless of whether anyone registers or not, the election must still be conducted. In Lincoln County, the city of Shoshone has two candidates for mayor and three candidates for city council. The current mayor, Dave Wendell, will face off with long time council member, Dale Sluder, for the position of mayor. There are two council seats open this year, which
will go to the two candidates with most votes. Voters will choose between Jann Thomsen, Dan Pierson, and Tammy Swaner. In other Lincoln County Races, Fred Stechelin and Greg Sant are running against each other for Cemetery District Sub–Dist 2 Commissioner. Kathy Marsh and Jamie Turner competing for a position on the Recreation District Board. Both Richfield and Dietrich have two open seats for their city councils, but only two candidates have registered in each of those towns leaving those positions uncontested. In Gooding County the big race is in the City of Gooding where four people are running for mayor. Two weeks ago, Walter Nelson was appointed to the position, but to retain that position he will have to beat out Enos Waddoups, Alfred Eichholz, and Jennifer Wheeler. There are no contested races for the Gooding City Council. In Wendell, Jan Gooding and Lori Swainston are looking to takeover the mayor posi-
tion which was vacated earlier this year by Brad Christopherson (Kent Bates took over as mayor but is not running for that position). Wendell also has four people competing for two open city council seats. Voters in Wendell will choose to keep the current council members (Jason Houser and Herb Allred) or replace them with Paul Isaacson and/or Melody Finley. The Hagerman city council has four open seats. Recently appointed Dale Christoffersen and incumbent Jay Hauser will try to retain their seats from challengers Alan Jay and Fred Churruca. Krista Merrill will be trying to take out one of the other incumbents (Carl Jeffries and Steven Bland) for a four year term on the council. In Bliss, four people are running for the two open seats: Anthony Ramirez, Ted James, Debra Greeley, and Don Clemmons. The Bliss Rural Fire Department also has four people running for two seats: Mike Elliott, Jerome Vanderwyst, Randy Erkins, and James Pruett.
Clarification on Fire Restrictions
Stage One Fire Restrictions for all state and federal lands in the South Central Idaho zone were rescinded last week due to cooler temperatures and moisture received in the zone. This means that hunters and campers are not restricted in their use of campfires and such. There are still areas which are closed to travel because of fire fighting activity and road conditions. Please, do not travel into closed areas. Contact the forest service or BLM for more info.

DeLone Irene Barton Rivers passed away peacefully on Monday, September 9, 2013 after raising 7 little divas, and their 20 little princesses and princes. She was raised and educated in Buhl, Idaho. She met and married Al Barton and enjoyed 44 years of marriage. A few years after Al passed, she married Louis Rivers. We all have many fond memories of life with mom. She had so much faith in her children, she believed everything we said. Sorry mom! She was an excellent cook and took many purple ribbons for pies and canned goods. Once a week we would hurry home from school to eat homemade bread and rolls. However, any opportunity to “coffee up” or grab a bite at the “Dairy N” was never refused. Mom was an accomplished seamstress, making many outfits for every occasion, including prom, Halloween, or dance contests. As a busy mom she still always managed to find time to help with spelling or writing your letters. She sang in the church choir, played harmonica, and played the piano by ear. As a member of the Gooding First Christian Church, she served in the women’s ministry for many years. Her smile was her signature. She loved her social life and other’s as well. Mom actually went on her granddaughter’s first date with her future husband. DeLone is survived by 6 daughters, Kay Schmenk, of Fort Worth, Texas; Barbara Barton, of Chugiak, Alaska; Vonnie (Lee) Claiborne, of Twin Falls, Idaho; Cherri (Randy) Suter, of Jerome, Idaho; Cyndi (Rut) Rost, of Jerome, Idaho; and Tracie (Monte) Warwick, of Boise, Idaho; 20 grandchildren; and 32 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her 2 husbands; 1 daughter, Joye Arlene; 1 infant son; and her immediate family. The family wishes to thank DeSano Place Suites for their loving care of DeLone. Funeral services were held on Saturday, September 14, 2013 at the First Christian Church in Gooding. Burial followed at Elmwood Cemetery in Gooding. Arrangements conducted by Demaray Funeral Service.

The Showmaker’s Wife
by Adriana Trigiani
I’ve always wanted to experience the Italian Alps and stay in the homes of regular Italians, eat their food and enjoy their culture. Not only did I get to do that in the first chapter, but I got to travel backwards in time to the turn of the 20th century where I also received an insider’s peek at the life inside the walls of church, of the nuns themselves. Transported to those sensuous sun drenched alpine meadows, breathing in the aroma of steaming gnocci, I could almost lick the frothed milk in my steaming espresso off my lips. I felt like I’d been on vacation. Then the scene moved to New York as I knew it would since it is basically an immigrant tale. But instead of low-life American scumbags ripping the new guys off, I was treated to a backstage pass to the New York Metropolitan Opera and got to know Caruso. Awesome! Because this book is full of wonderful people, real people, men who don’t cheat, women who love their husbands, people who value family while infusing those families with loyalty and honesty and more than anything else. Is there tragedy, yes, is there mystery and suspense, yes and yes. But, it’s worth the price of the airfare.

Our family had a Beagle hound when I was young. She helped my dad irrigate crops on a regular schedule. I don’t think she missed a beat. The Beagle ended up with a bad habit of eating eggs from the chicken coop, and the chicken were continually disturbed. We could not seem to break the habit, so dad decided to haul the dog to another one of the company’s ranches, about twenty– five miles away. About a week later the Beagle hound showed up near the city park walking home. We loaded our dog in the car and took her home. She was pretty tired and sore. My dad decided if that dog could find her way home and had the desire to be with us, she would live the rest of her days with us, regardless if she was an egg eater. The ironic thing about our Beagle hound was she caught more gophers than dad did. The dog’s hearing was none to be judged. She could hear a gopher digging the ground and would wait for hours for them to surface. We eventually moved to the city and the dog didn’t eat eggs any more. She even ended up with her own special bed in the house (outside dog). A few years ago, when I came to work where I am now, I was met by a black and white Border Collie, “Bo” (the boss was busy with the tire guy). He brought me a stick to throw. That was probably the wrong thing for me to do – throw the stick. The dog was tireless. The dog’s whole mission in life is the retrieve. Fan belts around the shop are always missing. A few weeks ago when we had massive amounts of thunder and lightning, the dog disappeared! “Bo” was terrified of lightning. Apparently he took off running ahead of the storm that followed him. He ended up about four miles away as the eagle flies and even more as you follow the road. “Bo” had also crossed the Payette River to Unimin Sand Plant. The dog found himself displaced and lost. He kept bring items to the loader operators to throw since he was used to being around such machines. The lady in the office was afraid he was going to get run over, so she took him home. Everyone at work was sad because the dog couldn’t be found. The humane society of notified with no luck. The family’s daughter in Tennessee posted pictures of the dog on facebook (she was the only one who had any) and mentioned her family lost their dog. Believe it or not, the people who were caring for “Bo” saw the pictures on facebook and contacted the rightful owners. It is amazing that a social network from 2500 miles away found a local dog. “Bo” who didn’t ride in vehicles, couldn’t get in the owner’s fast enough. He is driving the employees crazy once again. Sometimes a since of belonging somewhere or to someone is ones life. This is my “Cup of Tee” dog gone.

Healthy Soils Positively Impact Crop Productivity and Resource Conservation The USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service encourages farmers to improve soil health to increase their production and profits as well as protect their natural resources. “Emphasizing soil health is one of the easiest and most effective ways for farmers to increase crop productivity and profitability while improving the environment,” said Marlon Winger, NRCS Idaho State Agronomist. “Healthy, functioning soil sustains and nourishes plants, soil microbes, and beneficial insects.” Soil is made up of air, water, decayed plant residue, organic matter from living and dead organisms, and mineral matter such as sand, silt, and clay. Healthy soils are porous and allow air and water to move freely through them. “Increasing soil organic matter typically improves soil health since organic matter affects several critical soil functions like nutrient recycling and water-holding capacity,” Winger said. Winger says taking these four actions will improve soil health: 1. Disturb the soil as little as possible 2. Grow many different species of plants through rotations and a diverse mixture of cover crops 3. Plant cover crops around harvest to keep living roots growing in the soil for as much of the year as possible 4. Keep the soil surface covered with residue year round. “Just doing one of these may improve your soil but will not provide all the soil health benefits. The more you do, the faster your soil will be rejuvenated,” Winger said. Farmers that manage their land in ways that improve and sustain soil health benefit from fewer inputs, sustainable outputs, and increase resiliency. Positive results are often realized immediately and last well into the future. Healthy soils benefit all producers – from large row-crop operations to small, organic vegetable farms.
