Shoshone Showhouse to Shine Again Fairfield Considers Annexation
On Friday, December 15th, the Idaho Heritage Trust anounced a $100,000 grant award to the Shoshone Showhouse. As part of the Theatre Revitalization Subgrant Program, this award was made possible by $800,000 in federal funding to help facilitate the restoration and preservation of historic theaters in Idaho’s rural communities (less than 50,000 population). Dr. & Mrs. Terrill Zech purchased the W.H. Baugh M.D. Opera House in 1985 and ran it as a discount movie theater (second run films) for 30 years. In 2015, the film industry's push for digital movies made it impossible for the Showhouse (along with most other rural theaters) to show movies without an expensive upgrade of new equipment. "Our family loves movies and we loved showing family films. When we started, tickets were just $3.00 and the line to get in often stretched down the street and around the corner," said Dr. Zeck. "Movie nights were a community affair and there was rarely an empty seat. It was a sad day when we couldn't get film anymore. Today, we are very excited to receive this grant and look forward to bringing movies back to the big screen." Idaho Heritage Trust board member, Jerry Myers said, "With so many of our rural theaters struggling, we wanted to help. Not only are these theaters important cultural centers, they are often historical buildings (the Showhouse was built in 1911). 14 Idaho theaters applied for this year's grants, and 9 were awarded from a few thousand dollars to $100,000. Unlike some grants, this is not free money, a 10% match is required." Mr. Myers added that the Theatre Revitalization Program is supported through the Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization Grant Program funded by the Historic Preservation Fund as administered by the National Park Service (NPS), Department of Interior. These funds are intended for use in large-scale, high-cost projects that are fundamental to the continued health and safe use of these integral spaces. "Of course, projects require more than just a willing owner," said Mr. Myers. "Community support is a vital part making something like this successful." Mr. Myers acknowledged the County Commissioners, the County Sheriff, Mayor Pierson, other members of the Idaho Heritage Trust, and Karma Fitzgerald who help Dr. Zeck with the Grant writing process.
This Thursday, December 21st, the Fairfield City Council will hold public hearings regarding a 10 acre parcel just north of Fairfield on the east side of Soldier Road. Suncreek LLC (the owners) tried to develop a 5 lot subdivision earlier this year with Camas County, but because the property is located within the Fairfield Area of City Impact and adjacent to the city limits, issues regarding water and sewer caused the county to reject their proposal. The City of Fairfield has been cautious about annexation because of the same concern - water and sewer. The main issue is whether the city has the wastewater capacity to provide service to a new subdivision. After several meetings, the City Council agreed to make a maximum of 29 hookups available, provided Suncreek agrees to the limitation as part of annexation. Annexation has two components: First, the City must decide what zoning the property should be and make changes on the city's Land Use and Zoning maps; Second, the City considers the annexation. Both of these steps require public hearings, and if approved, the City will pass two ordinances to make the decision final. This Thursday is an opportunity for the public to make comment on the proposals, either for or against. It is unlikely that the council will make any decisions regarding this property until January, but public input is important. The council meeting will begin at 7:00 p.m. and the hearings will start at about 7:05. The proposed zoning for this property is R1, single-family dwellings, with a minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet. The documents regarding this property are on file at the city office (407 Soldier Road) and may be viewed during regular office hours.

"Shhhh..." says the uncle, "Blackie is blind and won't pull if he is doing the pulling all by himself. If he thinks the others are pulling their share, he'll step up to the plate and pull with a full heart, and will be guided by the reins." As I hear bells in the distance, I can only relate to the sleighs being pulled by horses at Christmas time. The bells jingling gave a rhythm that kept the horses in time without the distraction of noises made by children, horns and the like. The ringing bells produced a sound to others as a sound of merriment arriving. In the early days of the West, the jingling of the bells during a snow storm would direct cattle towards the hay being fed off a wagon or sled. Christmas has given too much attention to reindeer pulling Santa's sled in the in the early West. I think many have forgotten how the horse aided in Christmas. First of all, the Reindeer all had Scandinavian names. That may have been okay over there where people spoke that language. In the West, many people could not give you the name of eight reindeer but could give the name of every horse from farms miles around. Horses were like family members whom everyone depended on, with names one could remember. Families didn't have the luxury of going shopping for Christmas. The events of Christmas had to be planned well in advance. Things had to be sold or traded to get a little Christmas. Perhaps mom and dad had to make the gifts received. At the last moment, dad may of had to hitch

the horses and take the wagon to town. Many times it was the single saddle horse in the blizzarding snow. Christmas may have only been a piece of hard candy, some fruit, or a pair of new socks at best. Dad would come back completely covered in snow. If he had a beard, it would be four time larger than his real beard due to the snow. Santa had nothing on him. If visitors came to your house for Christmas, it was a few days ordeal. Horses would pull the wagon with everyone covered by a blanket and the blanket covered with snow. Some may of had the luxury of being delivered in a covered wagon called a stagecoach. The leather covered wagon was still cold. Perhaps, if you were nearby a mine operation or somewhat of a town, the stage would bring payroll. Christmas could go totally wrong if the stage was taken advantage of by thieves. Again, horses of lawmen would be out all hours of the day and night trying to salvage some of the Christmas hope. Tracks in the snow for Christmas weren't left by reindeer but horses. Reindeer have soft floating type hooves whereas horses wore metal shoes and broke through the snow. Even as the West was tamed and more towns sprang up, the Model T vehicles would be stuck in the mud during Christmas. The horses would be hitched up to pull out the horseless vehicles to keep Christmas on schedule. Walmart uses a yellow star as their logo to lead you there. The early Westerners used real stars for guidance to Christmas. Today, Christmas is delivered by Amazon, or should I say, lots of horsepower. Each vehicle has engines rated by horsespower. Even our individual rigs have horsepower ratings. Without horsing around, I wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

Ask the average person what Christmas is about, and the answers they give will be mostly cartoonish - Santa Claus, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, or Frosty the Snowman. Even classic stories like White Christmas and A Christmas Story fail to say much about the historical events of Christmas. An internet search of the top 100 Christmas films will only include one or two movies about the birth of Christ. We hear endless salutations of "Christmas Cheer" "Seasons Greetings" and "Happy Holidays", words which no one really understands these days, especially with our world full of conflicts of every kind. How can we celebrate anything while corrupt politician pervert justice, while nations war against each other, or while religious terrorist are killing women and children? Two thousand years ago, when Christ was born, the world was no different than it is today. Tyrannical rulers could wipe out entire towns or force people into slavery for no reason other than they wanted to. Women had no rights, children were not real people, and religious freedom was laughable. It was into this dark world that the creator of the universe sent a multitude of angels with a message to all man kind,
"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."

The religious leaders in Israel had been waiting for more than 750 years to hear this message, Gooding, Twin Falls and Fairfield but their view of "peace" was tainted by the desire to be free of Rome.

Steven Thomas Knott
Steven Thomas Knott of Hagerman, Idaho passed away December 5, 2023 in Twin Falls, Idaho surrounded by his family. Steve was born in Elsinore, California on March 12, 1941 to Eldon and Vera Knott. He was raised in Fallbrook, California. In the summer of 1962, Steve decided to make a life-altering trip to Hagerman, Idaho with a friend. This trip is where he would meet a cute, young girl, Nancy Mavencamp. Steve returned to California for a short amount of time, until he realized he left the love of his life in Idaho. After a short courtship they wed in the fall of 1963. After their marriage, Steve and Nancy went to live in California for a brief period. They returned to Idaho where he received his draft card. Steve chose to enlist in the Signal Corp to repair mortar tracking radars instead of having the Army choose his training for the Vietnam War. Following basic training, Nancy joined Steve at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. Steve graduated first in his class and was given the choice to be stationed in Hawaii or Germany. Steve chose Germany, so of course the Army sent him to Hawaii in 1966. In February of 1968, Steve and Nancy were blessed with their first son, John. After finishing his four years of duty in the service, they returned to Hagerman, Idaho to be closer to family. Steve went to work at Cain’s as a small appliance and television repairman. Steve and Nancy remained in the Magic Valley before purchasing their forever home in Hagerman, in the fall of 1983. During this time, they were blessed with two more sons, Thomas in December of 1970 and Steven in June of 1979. This rounded out their happy family. Unfortunately, during this time Steve started to develop health issues that would later be diagnosed as Multiple Sclerosis. This would change the trajectory of their family life. Steve would soon be unable to work due to the severity of his illness. Steve was also diagnosed with several other health issues including Leukemia, but this never discouraged his optimistic attitude toward life. Steve was known for always having a smile on his face. His response to “How are you doing?” was “I can’t complain”. Steve always put other people’s happiness before his, no matter how much pain he was in. Steve is survived by his wife of 60 years, Nancy Knott; his three sons, John (Shawnna) of Hagerman; Thomas (Stephanie) of Jerome; and Steven (Sue) of North Carolina; nine grandchildren: Jared, Nicole (Nick Wallace), Monica (Brandon Moore), Jessica (Paul), Faith (Aaron), Aspen (Trinity), Sunny, Sophie, and Sadie; six great grandchildren: Jeremy, Paul, Lincoln, Raiden, Aliyya, and Finn; two sisters, Mary and Carol; and one brother, John. Steve was preceded in death by his parents, Eldon and Vera Knott; and one sister, Laurel. Funeral service will be held at 11:00 am, Tuesday, December 12, 2023, at the American Legion Hall, 281 N. State Street, Hagerman, ID 83332. Interment will be at a later date. Following the service there will be a luncheon. For family and friends unable to attend Steve’s service, Farnsworth Mortuary will live stream his service on their Facebook page. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Hagerman Alumni Association.

Lindsey Jo Calcagni
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Lindsey Jo Calcagni, a loving mother, a remarkable woman, a caring friend, and a dedicated registered nurse. Lindsey passed away on November 29, 2023. She died unexpectedly and the family is shocked and deeply saddened. Lindsey’s nurturing spirit, unwavering support, and boundless love will forever live on. In addition to Lindsey’s professional accomplishments, she was known for her warm and caring personality. She had a generous heart, and always lent a helping hand to those in need. Her compassion touched the lives of many. Lindsey was born on April 13, 1982. She was a bundle of joy from the very beginning and was doted on by two older brothers, Kirby Clyde Gough and Tyler Richard Fernalld. She attended school in Bliss. After high school, Lindsey went on to pursue a degree in nursing at Walla Walla Community College where she obtained her Registered Nurse Degree. Being a mom was one of the most important parts of Lindsey’s life and a role that gave her much pride and joy. Richard Kross Calcagni was born December 21, 2002 and Antonio Joseph Calcagni on November 7, 2004 and she gained a bonus son, Garrett Butch Williams a bit later. Her love for cooking, canning, and taking care of her boys brought her inner peace and blissfulness. She passed on her delight and skills in the kitchen cooking to her Joey and her love for the great outdoors to Kross. One of her favorite times of the year was the annual family reunion at Pine, Idaho. Lindsey and her boys would travel packed to the gills, only leaving enough space for them and a dog or two.
