News New Owners for Fairfield’s Pizza Pub
This Friday, February 26th, Y’all come on in to Jim’s Dandy’s Pizza in Fairfield for a Farewell / Welcome celebration. For the last six years Cal and Elaine Web have been running the Pizza Pub, but now it is time for them to slow down a bit. Come in and say farewell to one of Fairfield’s favorite couples, and give a big howdy to the new owners - Ken & Bonnie Cox. About two years ago Ken Cox was browsing on FaceBook when he came across a post by an old friend from the San Juan Islands. Twenty-one years earlier, he and Bonnie had been close friends and they took the opportunity to become reacquainted. A year ago, Bonnie closed down a dog
grooming business she had been running for fourteen years in Utah and moved to Fairfield. On July 16th of last summer, the two of them tied the knot. Ken was looking to buy a Peterbilt Truck, but after the deal fell through a different sort of deal caught his eye. Once again they were on FaceBook when
they saw a post about Jim Dandy’s Pizza. And... the stars aligned for their new adventure. If you would like to hear more of this story, be sure to visit Jim Dandy’s Pizza this Friday from 5 to 9. They will have All-YouCan-Eat pizza by the slice for only $8.00, and kids 6 and under eat free.

Fighting Drug Abuse
Over the last 15 years there has been 300 percent increase in the sale of powerful painkillers such as Vicodin and OxyContin. These drugs help those with cronic pain, but the unused portions of those prescriptions often fall into the hands of young people who are under the mistaken opinion that these drugs are safe. The truth... more people die from legally prescribed drugs than from heroin and cocaine combined. To help curtail this epidemic, the Gooding County Sheriff’s Office is using a grant from the Idaho Meth Project to provide two prescription drug drop off bins. Anybody that has left over prescription meds that they need to get rid of, now have a place to go with them. One bin is located just inside the back door of the courthouse. It is accessable 24 hrs a day. The other bin is located at Wendell City Hall - accessable 8 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday. “We encourage the public to use these bins instead continued on page 2.....
