48 Years In His Back Pocket
On Christmas Day, 1970, a 23-year-old service man from Idaho sat in Vietnam with his favorite sentry dog, sharing a can of beans and franks. The dog wouldn’t eat anything unless you gave it to him with a spoon... and there was only one spoon. What made that day extra special was a letter the soldier received from a sixth grade girl. For the next 48 years, John Metzler carried that letter everywhere he went. John grew up in Jerome County and now lives in Wendell. He credits that letter with giving him the hope he needed to make it back home. The letter could have been given to any soldier, yet something in those few short words said it was written especially for him. Being an Army Helicopter Gunner was a dangerous job in a thankless war, and that little girl’s note mattered. “Dear Serviceman, I’m a student at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church and School. I want to give my sincere thanks for going over to war to fight for us. The class hopes you will be able to come home...” It was signed, DonnaCaye. John always wanted to know who that girl was and not long ago, he asked family members to see if they could find her. However, rather than just finding her, the family decided to do something extra special for Veteran’s Day 2018. Arrangements were made and DonnaCaye Ludemann Sica flew in from Florida, all while keeping John in the dark. On Sunday, November 11th, the Wendell “On The Road” with American Legion Post #41 held what appeared Steve Hartman to be an ordinary Veteran’s Day Ceremony. (CBS News) aired Then, the door in the back of the special reunion the room opened, letting John on November 16, and Donna meet... in person... 2018 for the very first time. www.cbsnews.com/ “You’re real,” John said. evening-news/ “Yes, I’m real,” said Donna Caye. on-the-road

Small Town Swank
If you walk into the Iron Mountain Inn just off of Highway 20 on the west side of Fairfield, you’ll notice something different in the southwest corner of the dining room. For almost a half a year, Cheyenne Wilson and Amanda Hulme have been running an online business called “Small Town Swank.” Their goal was to provide fun fashion for busy moms with an easy and budget friendly place to shop. Online shopping is great, but some of us like to touch and feel the items we buy. So, a few weeks ago Small Town Swank opened a small store at Iron Mountain with clothing (for men and women), aromatherapy jewelry, and locally made items. Someday they would like their business to make a real profit, but for now they are happy to make enough to donate to various local organizations that they both love. This weekend, November 24th, come visit them at the Fairfield American Legion Hall from 10 to 6 for a FALL SHOPPING FESTIVAL. This is a fundraiser for the Camas PTO’s winter clothing drive. This a great opportunity to SHOP LOCAL and support a great cause. Cheyenne and Amanda wish you Happy Shopping, and don’t be afraid to show off your swanky side!

High Speed Chase in Lincoln County
Press Release from Lincoln County Sheriff
On November 17, 2018 at approximately 1:10 a.m., the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office was notified a vehicle entering Lincoln County had been involved in a pursuit in Blaine County, Idaho. Deputies promptly located the suspect vehicle on State Highway 75 at milepost 84 and attempted to initiate a traffic stop on the vehicle. The driver, Mary C. North, age 32 of Challis, ID, accelerated in an attempt to elude the deputies. North drove through Lincoln County and the City of Shoshone at an excessive rate of speed exceeding 125 miles per hour. North continued driving south into Jerome County at a continuous high rate of speed. The Idaho State Police assisted by deploying spike strips, effectively bringing the pursuit to a stop without any injury to officers or the occupants of the vehicle. A minor collision occurred at the conclusion of the pursuit when a Jerome County Sheriff’s Office patrol vehicle was struck by North’s vehicle. The pursuit ended on Highway 93 at Mile Marker 61 in Jerome County, Idaho. Mary North was taken into custody without further incident. North is being charged with Eluding Law Enforcement Officers and Injury to a Child, both felonies. Additional criminal charges for the Blaine County pursuit are pending. The Idaho State Police is investigating the collision at the conclusion of the pursuit. The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Idaho State Police, the Gooding County Sheriff’s Office, the Shoshone Police Department and the Jerome County Sheriff’s Office.

A Message to the Residents of Fairfield...
Once again, as it has in the past, dogs on the loose has become a hot topic on the Fairfield Discussion FB page. People have become frustrated and say things they don’t really mean, out of frustration because they have to deal with stray dogs. As a dog owner myself, I feel it is my responsibility to keep our dogs in our yard where they belong. Do they get out? Yes, the kids leave the gate open, one can jump the fence. So, sometimes it’s a challenge. While the jumper is a very friendly dog to most, people might not see her that way, I’m sure some see her as a threat or a nuisance and rightfully so. We do our best to chase her down and bring her back home. Having said that, there are a handful of dogs who roam the town day after day for hours on end, and this has created a problem for those who enjoy walking their dogs (most on a leash) and encounter the ones that are running loose. Also, they knock over garbage cans, poop on other people’s property and attack the neighborhood cats and dogs. As some of you are aware, I serve on the City Council and this issue has been brought to our attention from concerned and/or angry residents. The city does have an ordinance in place for stray dogs. So why doesn’t the city enforce it? They can by several means. 1. Through a signed complaint by a concerned citizen, the city engineer, or law enforcement. 2. The deputies can pay the dog owner a visit and issue a warning or a citation. Our deputies have had the pleasure of visiting with a handful of dog owners, but nothing seems to change. I don’t believe that issuing a citation & paying fines is an avenue we want to go down, but it is an option. 3. Being a responsible dog owner which means keeping your dog in your yard and going after them when they get out. It’s not an easy task sometimes, our dogs listen as well as our kids. Being civil with one another is best in our small town. Let’s help each other out to be the responsible dog owners that we need to be.
Thanks, Doug Hoskinson

Puzzle #1 - Easy
Less Goble
The phone rings in Wendell Idaho: “Lazy Less Goble”, he answers, “I’m just an old fart falling apart. I have TB and heart trouble (Tired butt and don’t have the heart to move it).” On November 9, 2018 the old fart completely fell apart from complications of old age and congestive heart failure. He was born in Prosser, Nebraska on February 4, 1924. His family lived there until he was 12 and then moved to Oregon to escape the dust bowl. After living briefly in Oregon, the family moved to the Magic Valley. He helped his father farm until Uncle Sam called him to serve in the Army. Like some service men he got married before he went in and later divorced. He served in the Army until he was wounded in Germany. On December 14, 1946 he married Ruthelma Stombaugh. To this union brought in 1948 Deborah Jean Goble and 11 years later Gary LaVerne Goble. Ruthelma passed away in 1974.After a lengthy courtship with his widowed sister-in law he married, Mary Powel Goble. Mary died of cancer some years later. Less was shopping at Simerley’s and found the best item they had, Theresa Close. They had many good years together and they put forth much effort to the Wendell senior center. After Theresa died in 2014, he vowed not to have another female companion. Lesslie is survived: by his sister, Berniece Osborn and brother, Robert Goble; his children, Deborah Smart (Alvin), and Gary LaVerne Goble (Corinne); his granddaughter, Gwendalyn Dawn Goble Hawkins (Travis); great grandchildren, Dacodah Hawkins and Gary Hawkins; and step grandchildren, Chris Driscoll, Natalee Goble Moreschi (Anthony) and their son, Giovanni. He was preceded in death by: his father and mother, Homer Lesslie Goble and Violet Mae Robinson Goble; brothers, Francis, Franklin, Marion, and Bernard. It was his wishes to have a graveside service with taps from the American Legion and no obituary. This time Dad you are not correct on this, your children want an obituary. We will have a graveside service at a later date. Memorial contributions may be made to one of your choice.

As I see it, when weather forecasters were children, they would be in trouble with some unpredictable circumstances. They were told by their parents, “You will get a spanking if you don’t do this.” Then they would be wrong and get a spanking. The spanking then would become the ‘real feel’ of the circumstances. As weather forecasters got older, I think they carried on some of their beliefs from childhood. Everyone has noticed on the weather forecast they will say, “It is now 30 and feels like 27,” or in reverse they say, “It is 93 and feels like 97.” This type of forecasting has been a real part of the broadcast for years. We never heard such things years ago. Just the other day the weather forecaster said, “It is now 31 and feels like 31.” I said, “No duh, Shirley! Surely you must be joking to have the temperature and the ‘real feel’ be the same.” If you are outside and you are not adequately dressed, you will say it is colder than what it is. If you are overdressed, you will say that it feels warmer than what it is. I have a problem with this ‘real feel’ way of broadcasting weather. It makes me think they can’t give you what it is and have to fill up air time with crayons and paper to color you a picture. The general public lives according to their ‘real feel’ predictions. On the other hand, for a prediction (educated guess) to tell when
by Tee Hurd
weather will happen at exactly a certain time - AM or PM - is crazy. To me they are speaking into a can with a string attached to another can at the end. It was in the 1990s when a few scientists and weather forecasters said, “Hey, we don’t really have adequate information to really report the weather. We have overlooked a lot of variables.” They realized that there were other factors in weather. The tilt of the earth was a huge discovery, between day and night and the seasons, not to mention the moon (new ideas from hundreds of years ago). The humidity and altitude were some factors. Cloud cover, direct sunlight, warmth created by cities and open farm ground needed to be addressed. Did anyone mention the wind or precipitation during research? The chemical makeup of your surrounding such as lava rock, pine trees, or sagebrush were all of sudden factored in. Wait... don’t forget the clothing someone was wearing whether (weather) it was a cowboy hat, snow parka, or even a swim suit. All of these factors have been put together and now we have ‘real feel’ weather. It is funny that the mercury in a thermometer doesn’t change between what it feels and what it is. With weather yet to come, this is my “Cup of Tee,” with ‘real feel’.

Turkey Salmonella Outbreak Continues To Sicken Americans
1-888-934-1862 • Wednesday, November 21, 2018 • The Courier NEWS
At last count, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report one person has died, and another 164 people are sick, after contracting salmonella from raw turkey products. This includes one person who fell sick in Idaho. South Central Public Health District (SCPHD) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food Safety urge residents to take precautions in their kitchen to keep their families safe and illness-free. “Thanksgiving is a wonderful time for friends and families to get together and eat lots of food,” said Josh Jensen, SCPHD Public Health Program Manager. “Food safety is something everyone can practice; we want people to have a memorable Thanksgiving for the right reasons, not because they got sick from eating food.” Food poisoning is a serious public health threat. The CDC estimates that millions of people suffer from foodborne illness each year, resulting in roughly 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths. “Don’t cut corners and put your family at risk for foodborne illness by forgetting to wash your hands after handling the raw turkey,” said USDA Acting Deputy Under Secretary for Food Safety Carmen Rottenberg. “Always remember to use a food thermometer to be sure it’s cooked to 165 degrees.” To help your guests avoid getting sick this Thanksgiving, follow these simple steps: 20 seconds of hand washing: The CDC recommends washing your hands with soap and running water for at least 20 seconds. Handwashing is especially important when handling raw meats, both before and after touching the meat. Without proper handwashing, bacteria can accidentally be spread around the kitchen. Say no to ‘bird baths’: That is, do not rinse or wash your turkey. Doing so can spread bacteria around the kitchen, contaminating countertops, towels and other food. Washing poultry doesn’t remove bacteria from the bird. Only cooking the turkey to the correct internal temperature will ensure all bacteria are killed. Take an accurate temperature inside, cook the stuffing outside the turkey: Don’t rely on those pop-up thermometers to determine if your turkey is safe! Take the bird’s temperature with a food thermometer in three areas — the thickest part of the breast, the innermost part of the wing and the innermost part of the thigh — and make sure all three locations reach 165°F. If one of those locations does not register at 165°F, then continue cooking until all three locations reach the correct internal temperature. In recent USDA research, 88 percent of participants did not cook their poultry to the safe internal cooking temperature of 165°F. Use the two-hour rule to avoid foodborne illness: Everyone loves to graze during Thanksgiving, but when perishable food sits at room temperature, it is sitting in a temperature range where bacteria love to multiply. This is known as the ‘danger zone.’ If foods have been left out at room temperature for more than two hours they should be discarded.

NRCS Idaho Issues Call For Special Projects
Natural Resources Conservation Service State Conservationist for Idaho, Curtis Elke, has announced a call for Special Project pre-proposals. These Idaho projects where NRCS and its partner(s) for the project can make a bigger impact on a larger scale by targeting a specific set of resource concerns or conservation area within an identified geographical area. “Special Projects are a way for producers, partners and NRCS to work collaboratively in addressing local priorities,” Elke said. “Our local, state and federal partners and the numerous agricultural organizations out there should talk to their local NRCS District Conservationist about their idea or ideas for a special project proposal. Past special projects have focused on conservation measures like soil health, water conservation and habitat enhancement among other things.” What sets Special Projects apart from other NRCS state programs is that selected projects will be locally led and demonstrate partnership alliance. Funding may be requested for one to two years. To be considered for funding, agricultural producers should submit pre-proposals through their local NRCS field office. The pre-proposal should be no longer than 2 pages and must include:
A brief overview of the project, Anticipated practices that are being offered, Resource concern(s) that are being addressed, Partner involvement and their monetary and/or in-kind contribution Total cost estimate if this project was to be fully funded, Map of the proposed project area, and Information you feel pertinent in justifying the funding of this project
The deadline to submit pre-proposals is Feb. 1, 2019. “Special projects have been a great way for us to do a lot of good in a set time frame, by addressing the issues that are important to our customers, partners and other stakeholders in their specific part of Idaho,” Elke said.
