Future Project: Most Likely to Succeed
The Camas County School is working to re-imagine education. On Monday, October 3rd at 7:00 PM, the Camas County School will take part in Most Likely to Succeed’s efforts to re-imagine education.
The acclaimed film Most Likely to Succeed offers an inspiring look at what students and teachers are capable of, if we have the vision and courage to transform our schools. Directed by acclaimed documentarian Greg Whiteley, the film has been an official selection of two dozen of the world’s top film festivals, including Sundance, Tribeca, and AFI DOCS. It’s been featured at leading conferences on education, including ASU/GSV, SxSWedu, Harvard/GoldmanSachs, and NewSchools Venture Fund. Audience members call it the most compelling film ever done on the topic of school. In the past year, more than 2,300 communities have booked a screening of Most Likely to Succeed. The purpose of this event is to foster meaningful discussion among educators, administrators, parents, community members and students about how current obstacles can be overcome and steps towards change can be taken on a local level. continued on page 2...

The geographic boundaries of the RACs are aligned closely with county boundaries and with National Forest boundaries. Council members serve a four-year term without monetary compensation, but may be reimbursed for travel and per diem expenses. Meetings are generally held no more than twice a year, and are located within the geographic area the RAC serves. Members must reside within the State of Idaho to serve on the RAC, and to the extent practicable within the RAC boundary. The Secretary of Agriculture will appoint RAC members. The composition of each RAC is to be balanced according to the following three interest categories identified in the legislation: To obtain an application packet or additional information, please contact Julie Thomas at the US Forest Service (208) 737-3200.

Mary Elaine Fiet
Mary Elaine Fiet, 88, passed from this world on Monday August 8, 2016, at her home with two of her daughters by her side. She was born July 28, 1928, in Nampa, Idaho, the second of seven children born to Harvard D. and Mary Myers Hanks. They lived in Nampa where Elaine attended school. After graduating in 1946, she met her lifelong sweetheart, Floyd A Fiet, and they were married August 19, 1946, in the Salt Lake City LDS Temple (69 years ago). During the homestead lotteries of the 1950’s, Floyd drew a farm north of Rupert, Idaho. The hardships and joys of these pioneers fostered a kinship that endures today. She went with him to Hazelton, King Hill and to Wendell where she lived until her passing. Elaine was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in the capacity of Stake Relief Society President, board member, Ward Relief Society teacher (several times) and has always served as a Visiting Teacher. She also served in the Primary Presidency and has taught many Primary classes. Elaine loved to sing. She sang with several different quartets and was a member of the “Singing Mothers” group in her Stake. She had a low melodious singing voice and was requested to either sing or narrate for many programs. She also enjoyed her kitties and her birds. She enjoyed living on the farm, especially in Rupert, where she could hear the yapping of the coyotes and the little frog “peepers”. She loved her flower gardens. She also loved being around people and was known to always be there to help anyone in need. Elaine is survived by her son, Clair (Leslie) Fiet of Bountiful, UT; three daughters, Leslie (Gayden) Nelson of North Logan, UT, Shirley (Rocky) Metts of Kimberly, ID, and Jenness Fiet of Wendell, ID; 13 grandchildren, 23 great-grandchildren and one new great-great-granddaughter. She is also survived by her sister, Lecia Dawn DeCoursey, and her brothers, H. Douglas (Geneva) Hanks, and David (Marjean) Hanks. She is preceded in death by her husband, Floyd A Fiet, her parents, Harvard D and Mary Hanks, two sons, Dennis and Layne Fiet, one brother, Delbert Hanks, and two sisters, Phyllis Garner and Jeanene Flake. Services were held on August 15, 2016, at the Wendell LDS 1st Ward Chapel. Burial at the Kohler Lawn Cemetery in Nampa.

Camas Quips Gathered by Tee Hurd
You can alway tell the person who has just quit smoking by the way he grinds out his gum wrappers with his heel. ------A person with a problem is a diver who, coming up, passes his ship going down. ------Automation is now complete. There’s a computer that starts late on Monday and takes four circuit brakes a day. ------The shortest distance between two dates is a good line. ------Girls are ahead until twelve. Boys are ahead from 12 to 15. After that it’s neck and neck. ------Two semi-intelligent framers were framing a house. One would throw about every other nail away. Finally the second framer asked the first why he was throwing some of the nails away. “Every so often I pick up one with the head on the wrong side, and I throw it away.” “Don’t do that! Those are for the other side of the house.” ------How were Adam and Eve prevented from gambling? Their pair-o-dice was taken from them. ------How many apples were eaten in the Garden of Eden? Eve ate (eight) and Adam too (two), and the devil won (one). Eleven is all. ------If you had only one match and entered a room where there was a lamp, an old heater, and some kindling wood, which would you light first? The Match. ------What is the difference between one yard and two yards? Usually a fence. ------No woman has ever been president, but a great many have become Speaker of the House. ------Why wouldn’t the bananas fight?

Letter to the Editor WRITE-IN CRESELY McCONNELL for LINCOLN COUNTY SHERIFF Dear Lincoln County residents,
As a Lincoln County Commissioner, I get to see the county in a different light than most folks. It can be very eye opening on a daily basis to see the budget, the lawsuits, the complaints, the good, the bad and the very ugly. Due to this up close and personal view on what’s going on in the county, I must share with you a very important message. It would be easier not to take a stand, I would take a lot less flak, but I took an oath to do the best job I can for Lincoln County and easier just doesn’t cut it if I want to make a difference. We are in DESPERATE need of a change in Lincoln County. Soon you will have the opportunity to vote for that change. For a multitude of serious ethical, financial, moral and administrative reasons I will be voting for change by WRITING IN for Lincoln County Sheriff, Cresley McConnell. You will not find Cresely McConnell’s name on your ballot, because 5 candidates all ran for a single position in the primary, splitting the votes into a fractured mess. Consider this, three good candidates ran on virtually the exact same Reform platform, and each of them won in their home area, and yet lost overall because we split the votes. Those votes amounted to well over 600 votes for a reform platform, and yet the name on the ballot only had 229 votes. CLEARLY we all wanted change, but with so many good men running for REFORM, we didn’t get behind just one, and that cost us big! One of those good men decided to stay in and is running as a WRITE-IN for Lincoln County Sheriff. I urge you all to put those same hometown votes, (Irving/Richfield, Southwick & Gregory/Dietrich, McConnell/North Shoshone, Gill/independent), TOGETHER in November and WRITE IN; Cresley McConnell! If you do that, it will be a LANDSLIDE VICTORY FOR CHANGE! Some of you say, why not keep McConnell as commissioner, he is doing a great job…and that is true, but realistically it’s much easier to find a great commissioner, than a great sheriff. Sheriff is a very tough job and it’s even harder to find a person who will do that job with community compassion and community ethics. A Sheriff who financially will be responsible for a ¾ of a million dollar budget, many employees, and the safety and future of your children and grandchildren. We have trouble in river city folks, and if we hope to institute important new policies and procedures that will protect the innocent, change the way we investigate crimes, and bring accountability, we need to vote for change. As a commissioner I know that we desperately need to elect a Sheriff who will bring that change. I will be voting for that change in November by WRITING-IN Cresley McConnell for Sheriff, and I urge you to do the same. It’s not hard, spelling doesn’t count, just the intent to WRITE-IN Cresely McConnell! Sincerely, Lincoln County Commissioner Dist. 2 Rebecca Wood
