News Animal Shelter Reaches Goal
The primary function of this new building will be to operate as an Intake Facility, meaning it provides a safe and humane place for the city to hold cats and dogs for the five days required by law. During that time, animals must be returned to their owner or placed in a new home. While waiting for the construction, they are not waiting to help the dogs and cats in our communities. If you have lost a pet or you are willing to give one of these animals a new home, go online to Wendell Animal Control or Gooding Dogs Group. You can also call 536-5161 or 420-6863.

Update: VFW Re-Roofing Project
A deep appreciation is extended to all who mode donations to this project. Your donations allowed VFW Post 3078 to reach its initial goal of $22,000. This was the first estimate given by a local roofing contractor. Now we have heard that there are two additional options to consider. First, we will need an additional $8,000 to place a better seal coating on the current roof. Second need an additional $18,000 to build a new roof structure over the building giving us a 40 year life with little to no maintenance. Therefore, additional donations will be appreciated to complete either option 1 or option 2, and all donations are tax deductible via the document we have from IRS. Also our Post will be seeking information on other places we might possible be able to raise additional funds. Plans are to move ahead with the re-roofing project as soon as spring weather permits the roofing contractor to get underway with either option list above. lf you have any questions you are free to contact VFW Finance Project Officer Donald K Larson at either 9344887 or norwegin75@cableone.net

“The Toano Road” with Shauna Robinson
The completion of the transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1869, spawned the construction of four significant freight and stage routes into southwestern and southern Idaho from northern Utah, and Nevada. These roads, originating in railroad towns along the Central Pacific Railroad, established a vital link for goods shipped from the East Coast and California to the mining camps and towns in the southern reaches of Idaho Territory. One of these major roads was the Toano Road, which was surveyed in 1870 and promoted as a fast-freight road. By following this route across northern Nevada to its confluence with the Oregon Trail west of today’s Hagerman, freighters could reach Boise in a “speedy” six days. The “Toano and Idaho” line had limited success due to competition from the Kelton Road, unexpected events in mining towns south of Toano, and construction of the railroad through southern Idaho in 1884. Nonetheless, its ten years of existence had an important impact on the early mining towns and settlements of southern and southwestern Idaho. From 2003-2005, the Twin Falls County Historic Preservation Commission conducted a survey of the historic Toano Road in Twin Falls County, mapping and photographing the route as it looks today. Please join Shauna as she takes you “road-hunting” for the Toano Road in Idaho. A native of Idaho, Shauna Robinson is a retired teacher, having taught social studies, history and German for thirty-two years, primarily in Twin Falls at Robert Stuart Junior High. She has been active for many years in state and local groups that promote Idaho’s heritage, currently serving on the Twin Falls County Historic Preservation Commission, the Herrett Forum Committee, the Idaho State Historical Society’s Sites Review Board and the BLM’s Regional Advisory Council. Shauna also has extensive experience with the Forest Service and the BLM as a volunteer for archaeological projects in central and southern Idaho.

Senior Center Menus Monday I arose just as would any other day. I had taken the day off to catch up on some pushed aside tasks. I started out with a couple of meetings. Then I drove to New Plymouth, Idaho, to have lunch with my mom. From there we went to Ontario, Oregon, to do some of Mom’s miscellaneous running around. During the day I would turn on my phone and it would immediately shut off. I would charge it at multiple spots, but the same thing would occur. It would be another power on and then the shut down mode was in place. This made my day a little unpleasant because I wanted to use my phone. It wasn’t a bad enough situation that I should throw my phone out the window, but I thought about it a few times. Although the battery in my phone decided to give up, it wasn’t worth ruining my day. I fact, when I thought about what I had to smile about, I even laughed at the poor phone battery that couldn’t get enough charge to make its own self happy. You see, Monday was my birthday and I thought about some things that made me smile at that moment. First, I was given another day that I could live and enjoy life. Having your mom still around is one of the greatest smiles you can share. Seeing friends and family has to come in a close second from something to smile about. Thank all of you who texted me “Happy Birthday” and those of you who left a “Happy Birthday” message on my voice-mail. My phone wouldn’t let me receive or reply until I was home to change batteries. Smiles not only enlighten you, but can honor you as well. Last week, remembering, my daughter honored me with deep, heartfelt smile as she was able to personally shake hands with the President of the United States while he was at Boise State University. A reader from Eastern Idaho sent me this little letter about smiles. Now is as good a time as any to share it with you... A smile costs nothing, but gives much. It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes last forever. None is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it, and none is so poor but that he can’t be made rich by it. A smile created happiness in the home, fosters good will in business, and is the countersign of friendship. It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and is nature’s best antidote for trouble. Yet, it can not be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen; for it is of no value until given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours as no one needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give. All in all we can share this great healing, humoring, encouraging, costless expression. Weightless in composition this expression is a ton. Share a smile today as I will as well. This is my “Cup of Smiley Tee.” Tee Hurd
