Camas County Fair Dates Announced On Friday of last week, the Camas County Fair Board announced that the 2015 Camas County Fair will be held August 6th thru August 9th. The Camas County Fair is normally held on the first weekend in August (July 30 thru August 2), however another major event has been scheduled for those dates. Rather than compete that event, the fair board decided to postpone the fair by one week. The board is also looking for additional - energetic - people wanting to serve
on a fair committee. If you would like to help with this great community event, contact Gayle Bachtell, Connie Funkhouser, Vicki Cook, Deanna Hoskinson, Wes Walker, or Sam Stroud. The conflicting event to be held on July 31st thru August 2nd is the Mountain Home Country Music Festival. This three day music concert is expected to bring in 20,000 plus people to the concert site located about twenty miles west of Fairfield. The Mountain Home Country Music Festival is the latest addition to the Willamette Country Music Concert series which has events in Brownsville, Oregon (August 14-16) and Cape Blanco on the Oregon coast (July 31-Aug 2).

Protecting Children’s Teeth
South Central Public Health District (SCPHD) is offering fluoride varnish applications to children twelve and younger. Fluoride varnish, which is a gel-like substance that is “painted” on the child’s teeth with a small brush, strengthens tooth enamel to reduce and/or prevent tooth decay. The varnish is very safe since it’s applied directly to the teeth, and children can receive a fluoride varnish application as soon as they get their first teeth. · · · ·
The fluoride varnish clinics will take place: In Twin Falls at South Central Public Health District (1020 Washington St. N; on the CSI college campus) on Jan. 30, Feb. 27 and April 10, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Call 737-5980 to schedule an appointment. In Jerome at South Central Public Health (951 East Avenue H) on Jan. 16 and April 17, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Call 324-8838 to schedule. In Gooding at South Central Public Health District (255 North Canyon Drive) on March 13, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Call 934-4477 to schedule. In Bellevue at South Central Public Health District (11 East Ash Street) on February 20 and May 15, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Call 788-4335 to schedule.
SCPHD will bill Medicaid, Blue Cross, Regence, and Delta Dental (typically varnish is covered every six months). Children who are uninsured can still be seen at these clinics. If you have any questions about fluoride varnish, please call Susie Beem at 737-5946.

“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.

Thank You,
I would like to thank the “Snow Fairies” in this community for all their help with the Post Office. Many have plowed and sanded our parking lots including the back parking lot out of the kindness of your hearts and I would like to take a moment to tell you: “THANK YOU!” The elderly people and myself really appreciate not walking on ice and snow while at the Post Office. This is truly a family community that takes care of others. Sincerely, Beth Rioux - Postmaster, Fairfield

Wendell Roadways cont.
This $1.86 million project, under contract with Western Construction, of Boise, is expected to be complete by June. 2: Reconstruction of Idaho 46 (Idaho Street) through the City of Wendell will rebuild and pave the roadway, replace sections of sidewalk to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards, and complete base stabilization and repave West Main Street from Idaho Street to Interstate 84. The work through Wendell will last about three months, beginning in May or June. The $2 million project is under contract with Idaho Sand and Gravel, of Jerome. 3: Beginning in early to mid-summer, a project to apply an asphalt overlay and sealcoat next to the reconstruction in Wendell and extending into the city of Gooding. This $2.16 million project, under contract with Western Construction, will impact traffic for about a month and includes a mill-and-inlay of pavement in the U.S. 26/Idaho 46 junction in Gooding. 4: Repair work to the Ken Curtis Bridge over the Snake River north of Buhl is expected to begin in late spring or early summer. The $560,130 project will repair cracking in the concrete, repair eroded areas near the abutments, protect slopes, overlay the driving surface and upgrade guardrail. Cannon Builders, of Blackfoot, is the contractor for this project. 5: The final project to replace two other culvert crossings will begin after the irrigation season ends. The work includes replacing the W-9 canal bridge about a mile south of I-84 and the Cedar Draw bridge at about 1767 East on Bob Barton Road (milepost 93.4). This $1.26 million project replaces both bridges with concrete box culverts, widens the roadway and includes guardrail. The project is under contract with Cannon Builders. Three of the projects, those south of Wendell, are the first series of projects to upgrade portions of the roadway to state standards since ITD gained ownership in 2010. Additional improvements, to the 14.75-mile section between Buhl and Wendell, will continue in future years as funding and scheduling allows, but no further projects are scheduled in the current five-year plan. Additional information about each project will be made available when scheduling is finalized.

The program offers financial incentives to farmers and ranchers to manage their farms, ranches, and timber lands to conserve natural resources,” said Travis Thomason, acting Idaho NRCS State Conservationist. “The program encourages agricultural and forestry producers to address resource problems by improving and maintaining existing conservation activities as well as undertaking additional conservation ‘enhancements’,” Thomason said. The 2014 Farm Bill expanded the program’s conservation activity list. Conservation activities, called enhancements, will offer participants greater options to meet their conservation needs and protect natural resources on their land. Enhancements include practices that improve soil health, grazing rotations, or wildlife habitat; treat crowded forest stands; or facilitate tillage system changes. Another new change is using the program to broaden the impacts of NRCS’ Landscape Conservation Initiatives. In Idaho, a pilot effort will focus on conservation activities to improve sage grouse habitat on private lands. “Our Landscape Conservation Initiatives rally together landowners in a wide-ranging area to make conservation improvements to address particular resource issues; the Conservation Stewardship Program is a great tool for that,” said Thomason. “We hope with including CSP we’ll be bringing more farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners to these efforts.” Land stewardship generates significant environmental benefits including clean air, clean water, and healthy soils and helps sustain food and fiber production for the citizens of Idaho. Since the program began in 2009, NRCS has enrolled more than 766,000 acres in Idaho.
