Camas County: Opportunity to Comment
The Camas County Commissioners want to know what you think about allowing overnight parking at the Chimney Creek snowmobile access parking lot (10 miles west of Fairfield, on Baseline Road). Public comments will be taken on this idea at the Commissioner’s January 27th meeting at 10:00 a.m. Everyone is welcome attend and comment.
Keep Streets Clear!
The Street Department of the City of Fairfield asks that you clear your residential area for easy passage by the City’s Snow Removal Equipment. All Alleys and streets must be cleared of all vehicles and miscellaneous debris. The City streets can be pushed back by the snow plows as wide as possible. The City’s property on most roads is 80 feet. The City has the right to use as snow storage. If you are in violation your vehicle could be towed. Eligible property owners who have circuit breaker status through Camas County can request consideration by the City Council for snow removal assistance.
Cup of Tee
© If you were in Meridian, Idaho, years ago, you may have eaten at the Hungry Onion Drive-in restaurant. It was an original car hop drive-in where you had people actually come to your car and take your orders. Then they delivered your order back to you. That was standard customer service back then. Today’s Sonic Drive-ins use the same sort of principle to give you the nostalgia in ordering drive-in food. Today’s fast food places have you come into the counter to order or you order at the kiosk to do the transaction yourself. These type of restaurants generally have a drive through if you don’t want to get out of your car. Many of the fast food restaurants claim they don’t fix your meal until it is ordered. I guess fixing your meal is putting on ketchup, onions, and pickles. Everything else is pre-done. December 28th, 2019, was the last day of operation for the Hungry Onion Drive-in. They started in 1962. The Onion managed to go though decades of trials and changes, but was still able to be family owned and open to the public. In fact, I have attended service from the Hungry Onion for 4 and a half decades myself. When I worked in Meridian for 23 years, I was a regular for lunch at the drive-in. I had their phone number memorized. They even had a hamburger named after me. It didn’t make the outside custom printed menu board, but it was
by Tee Hurd
listed on the inside by the cash register for new employees to use. The closure of the Hungry Onion was mostly due to the way the City of Meridian changed traffic flow. One block away from the Onion the city made a 2 block by-pass to keep traffic out to the center of Meridian. Eventually the traffic at a detoured 35 MPH didn’t slide enough to the family owned drive-in. The Onion did all it could to stay open, but the rerouting took its toll with the drive-in and many other businesses. I’m thinking the City of Meridian should have planted a large Christmas Tree near the Hungry Onion. Then they could have lit the tree about ten times a year to collect the people the detour didn’t. It is pretty sad when a family run business give their community their all for nearly 60 years and then have it fade away into a vacant spot on the city map. So often growing cities forget how they got to be what and why they are! If you get to Emmett, Idaho, be sure to hit up the Roe-Ann Drive-in restaurant. They are still a family owned business since 1958 doing the original car hop service. I’m still happy Fairfield is able to have its walk-in drive-in that prepares food when you order it. And you can get ketchup on one bun and mustard on the other... if you wish. This is my “Cup of Tee” seeing another legacy pass though “Tee Time.”

Why I Have Animals
1-208-246-9999 • Wednesday, January 15, 2020 • The Courier NEWS
SPRING 2020
by Weston Jenson
I have animals because I love them. I have two goats, three cats, and a dog. It is hard taking care of animals because it is extra work and you have to do it everyday. It is important to take good care of your animals. First, buy some food for the animal you have. Then, get a container of water bottles that you can fit the food in. Also, make a house for the animal. Next, put the food in front of the house that the animal lives in. Then, if you don’t want the animal escaping put a post by their house and tie a rope around the post and put a hook on the end of the rope. Buy a collar for the animal and hook the collar’s ring to a rope connected to a post. Then, let the animal eat. I love to keep the animal soft and warm so you can have a soft, warm hug. Keep doing the routine everyday. I love extra work on animals. For Christmas my family got a puppy we named him Duke. Animals are hard to take care of and fun to play with. That’s why I love animals and have animals. Weston is a fourth grader at Gooding Elementary School. As part of their writing assignments, thier teacher (Samantha Knittle) is encouraging her students to write about topics they are interested in and think about things outside of school and in the community. More student articles are on the way...
