Head to school on September 21! With the beginning of the 2016-17 school year, the Camas County School invites us all to a school open house on Monday, September 21, from 5-7 p.m. Meet teachers! Meet staff! See where your kids hang out all day! Root through the old hats in the lost and found! Inspect the facilities! ❦

Rocking Manard Hall! On Monday, October 3 at 7 p.m., the Camas County School will host a showing of Most Likely to Succeed, a celebrated documentary by Greg Whitely, which looks at what students and teachers are capable of when they’re committed together to improve education. More than 2,300 communities in the U.S. have screened Most Likely to Succeed in the past year; the movie has been a selection at many prestigious film festivals: Sundance, Tribeca, and AFI DOCS! And featured at many prestigious-sounding conferences: ASU/GSV, SxcSWedu, Harvard/GoldmanSachs, and NewSchools Venture Fund! Whatever those are! Audience members have called it the most compelling film ever done on the subject of school! We’re all invited, and the Camas County School wants to use the event to stimulate discussion among teachers, administrators, parents, community members and students about how current obstacles can be overcome and steps toward change can be taken on a local level! The movie will be shown in Manard Hall, a distinguished former movie theater now occupied by the Lighthouse Church, just north of the school bus barn! A real movie theater! With popcorn! For an advance sense of what the film is about, we can search the TED talk library on line for Ken Robinson’s 2006 talk, “Do Schools Kill Creativity?” ❦

An acclaimed documentary

comes to Manard Hall next month!

Popcorn! Co-organized by The Future

Fire ban lifted! Smokey lights up! According to the Sawtooth National Forest, the recent fire restrictions – no fires outside of established fire locations, and no smoking – for south central Idaho public land administered by the USFS and BLM have been lifted. Sez The Bear: “We do encourage the public to be extra careful when having a fire on the national forest. Temperatures are cooling and we are seeing precipitation in some places, but it is still very dry. Before you leave, make sure your campfire is cool to the touch.” ❦

Another Letter to the Editor, by Golly! Dear Editor: I am writing to encourage voters of District 26 to vote for Michelle Stennett for Senate seat District 26. I am sure that some might wonder why a Republican is endorsing a Democrat. In our family we live by three Fs - Faith, Family and Friends. Clint and Michelle were and are such close friends of ours that we consider them family. After Clint passed away, Michelle took the reins and carried on where Clint left off. She owns farms in the Magic Valley and has a real understanding of water rights, ranching and farming. I observed Michelle represent District 26 in the Senate these last three terms and she has served with distinction in representing her district. She has gained the respect of her peers on both sides of the isle. She is now the Minority Leader of the Senate. She and Clint are the only married couple in Idaho history to serve in that capacity.

Everyone I know that has observed her serve, including me, thinks she has done so with distinction and class. Michelle has a very strong work ethic. She is very intelligent and personable. Michelle is a very good listener. She always gathers all the information she can and makes decisions based on that information in the best interest of District 26 and the State of Idaho. She works well with all the members of the Senate and has gained the respect of her colleagues of both parties.

It is my opinion that the voters of District 26 would be best served by voting for Michelle Stennett for State Senate District 26. -- Bruce Newcomb - Retired Legislator - former Speaker of the House-208 670-3758 A Letter to All Us Voter Persons! Dear District 26 Voters: Please support the election of Sally Toone as our District 26 Representative for Blaine, Camas, Gooding and Lincoln Counties. Sally will be an especially valuable and versatile legislator because she relates to the farmer, the businessman, the educational community, parents, and of course, all of them as taxpayers. She is unique in that she is a third generation educator and has the invaluable experience of a 37 year career as a math teacher in the Wendell and Gooding school districts. Her long educational career allows her to relate to and understand the needs and challenges facing our most precious asset; our children. It gets better! Sally and her husband Mark, third generation farmer/rancher, own and operate family farms and cattle ranches in Gooding and Camas counties. Their two sons, along with their families, have returned to Idaho to raise their children and continue the family agricultural business. It gets even better! As a long time resident of Southern Idaho she understands the different situations that exist in our small rural communities and will work tirelessly with commissioners, school trustees, constituents and fellow legislators to find ways to solve our unique needs. She will do it in a way that is fiscally responsible. I’ve personally known Sally for well over 20 years and consider her a great communicator. She is not only smart and articulate, but has the rare ability to listen, consider, and respond with logic and insight. In any organization, political or otherwise, a diversity of ideas and opinions makes for stronger and better decisions. Sally Toone has the right background to help Idaho prepare for the future. Please support Sally this November. -- Jim Cobble, Fairfield, Idaho
