District 26 Legislators Host Local Townhall Meetings
Sand bags are available from several municipalities. Call if you are in need.
Last Saturday, as people met with District 26 Legislators, weather was on the minds of everyone. Warm temperatures have cause rapid melting of snow and flood damage is widespread across the area. Cooler temperatures over the weekend have slowed things down a bit, but more rain is on its way beginning on Thursday. On Monday, Gooding County Commissioners made a Declaration of Emergency. This action is the first step in getting help from the state to cover the unexpected expenses of dealing with flooding. So far, the Governor
has made disaster declarations for nine Idaho counties. While our legislators are not directly involved in disaster declarations, the conversation was applicable to the need for increased transportation funding in Idaho. Over the last few years, more money has been put into roadway maintenance, but a year like this can wipe out local highway budgets in a hurry. Also, state funding for transportation is due to sunset and the legislature will have to renew that funding. A regular topic of discussion for our legislators is education. Currently, about 60% of school fund-
Potential Health Problems Related to Flooding South Central Public Health District wants the public to be aware of potential problems associated with localized flooding.
TWIN FALLS, ID – According to Jeff Pierson, The South Central Public Health District Administrative Response Team met last Thursday morning to discuss health threats related to flooding associated with the rain and snowmelt that is occurring. “We are starting to receive calls from the public related to flooded wells and failed septic systems. Excessive water can seep into residential wells leading to contamination. Similarly, septic systems are failing because of surface water infiltrating septic systems and drain fields. While the obvious solution is to prevent wells and drain fields from becoming water collection points, that
isn’t always possible,” Pierson said. Pierson continued, “crawl spaces and basements can also be a problem. Often these areas lack good ventilation and once moisture has collected in these low points, it doesn’t take long for mold to grow.” To assist the public, the health district has setup a webpage with resources including a list of local, licensed contractors. phd5. idaho.gov/Environment/Flood.htm. If the public has questions or needs assistance, please call 866-710-9775 or visit phd5.idaho.gov/Environment/Flood.htm. For more information, contact Jeff Pierson, 208-737-5945
ing comes from the state. This year’s budget looks to increase that number to 63% to take the pressure off of local school levies. While the legislature is mostly in agreement about education, one area of political divide is with the new science standards. Last week the House Education Committee voted to remove references to climate change and human impact on the environment from those standards. The committee’s three Democrats and one Republican from Northern Idaho voted against the removal. Our legislators all agree that Healthcare continued on page 3 .....

Legislative Townhall Meeting continued funding is important, but the uncertainty of what might happen at the federal level has made it difficult to move forward with any legislation.
During their last stop of the day in Hagerman, our legislators heard from a 60 plus crowd regarding concerns over the Shaw Shooting range located about a mile west of Hagerman. The shooting range was established in 2013 with few complaints until plans to expand were recently approved by the Gooding County P&Z. Being so close to the city and to several recreational areas, many are concerned that someone could be harmed, either unintentionally or through carelessness by shooters. Several members of Citizens-4-Hagerman recounted possible near misses from ricochet and/or direct fire, though there is no hard evidence that those bullets came from the shooting range. According to the owner of the shooting range, Houston Shaw, all of his ranges are pointed away from town. From the very beginning, the Shaw Shooting range has been about teaching gun safety to those who care about hunting, law enforcement, and personal safety. Also, it is a world class facility used on a regular basis by law enforcement officers throughout the region. The issue brought up to our legislators was Idaho Code 18-3302J, which seems to take all local control away from counties and cities regarding Sport Shooting Ranges. The legislation
was intended to prevent anti-gun groups from harassing hunters and other gun enthusiasts, however, it doesn’t seem to clearly define how individuals and communities can address safety issues regarding shooting ranges. Representative Miller said he understood people’s concerns, but added that the issue was really a legal issue rather than a legislative one. Senator Stennett offered to ask the Attorney General to look at the issue if the group’s legal adviser provided more information. ~Late Breaking News ~ On Thursday, February 16th, the Gooding County Commissioners will hold an emergency meeting with the Highway Districts at the Oxbow Café in Bliss at 7:00 a.m. They will also be meeting at Wendell City Hall at 8:30 a.m.

Thirty-three years after the Declaration of Independence and seventeen years after Kentucky became a state, a young boy was born in Kentucky in 1809. He was named Abraham as his first and middle name - Lincoln was his last name. The frontier of Kentucky was a place where hard work was required. If you have ever been to the hills of Kentucky, you’ll know that to keep a sane life with the environment, you would have to drink or have a sense of humor. With the frontier life of hard work, limited social life, sparse schooling, and brutal fights, Abraham Lincoln’s character, disposition, and outlook on life was formed from and around frontier farms. One of the best assets he cultivated from this was his sense of humor. Lincoln told stories to clinch an argument, clarify a point, or for the sheer fun of it. He didn’t invent the stories but adopted them to his own needs from tales he read or heard, thus making him a re-tell dealer. Young Abe Lincoln took a sack of grain to a mill whose proprietor was known as the laziest soul in Illinois. After watching the miller at work for a while, Abe commented drily, “I can eat that grain as fast as you’re grinding it.” “Indeed,” grunted the miller. “And how long do you think you can keep that up?” “Until I starve to death,” said Lincoln. When asked how he like being President, he said he felt like the man ridden out of town on a rail, tared and feathered, who replied, “If it weren’t for the honor of the thing, I’d as soon walk.” President Lincoln was continually harassed by office seekers. After he contracted Varioloid, a mild form of smallpox, he said,

“Now I’ve got something to give to everyone who comes for a job.” One day in the summer of 1857 Abraham Lincoln was sitting in his office when he was visited by one of his neighbors, an excellent farmer but one inclined to increase the size of his crops after harvesting. He had given on this particular morning a skillfully padded account of the hay he had put in. “I’ve been cutting hay too,” remarked Lincoln. “Why, Abe, are you farming?” “Yes.” “What did you raise?” “Just Hay.” “Good crop this year?” “Excellent.” “How many tons?” “Well, I don’t know just how many tons, Simpson, but my men stacked all they could outdoors and then stored the rest in the barn.” Humor made life bearable on the frontier and during the racking intense years in the White House during our Civil War, Lincoln said, “I laugh that I may not cry. That’s all. That’s all.” Humor helped Abe Lincoln for the fun it expressed, and the pain and sadness it hid. Two Quaker ladies were traveling on the railroad and were heard discussing the probable termination of the war. “I think,” said the first, “that Jefferson will succeed.” “Why does thee think so?” asked the other. “Because Jefferson is a praying man.” “And so is Abraham a praying man,” objected the second. “Yes, but the Lord will think Abraham is joking,” replied the first. So with that, it be my “Cup of Tee.”
