Roadwork On U.S. 93
Rehabilitating five U.S. 93 bridges between Shoshone and Carey will require short delays this week for traffic at each location. The Idaho Transportation Department’s bridge work will ensure structural surface and integrity to extend overall bridge life. Work began Monday, April 11, at two bridges crossing the Little Wood River located at mileposts 199 and 200 in Blaine County. Work on three other bridges is expected to begin in May. Those bridges span the Milner-Gooding Canal at milepost 167 near Shoshone, the Little Wood River at 177 south of Richfield and Silver Creek at milepost 198 near the Lincoln/Blaine County Line. Work is expected to be completed by mid-June. The Idaho Transportation Board advanced a group of 27 projects in 2015 using funds allocated by the Idaho Legislature for the state’s first transportation-revenue increase in nearly two decades. Doing so enabled the advancement of dozens of other critically needed road and bridge projects statewide in the future. This bridge work is one of the initial group of projects.

Patricia Ruth Herman
Patricia “Pat” Ruth (Spratt) Herman - a lifelong native Idahoan - was born on October 27, 1924, a beautiful, tough little girl, to B.D. (Jack) & Florence H. (Schwindamann) Spratt in Fairfield, Idaho. She joined 2 brothers to complete their family of 5. Her mother was a school teacher and dad was a grocery clerk, agent for the Gooding creamery, and worked as Post Master in Fairfield. Pat passed away with family by her side on March 16, 2016. She learned to be independent at a young age, and when the piano instructor came to teach her brothers to play the piano, at age 4 she decided to climb up on the piano bench and began to try to play. The instructor said, “She’s going to do it anyway, so we might as well teach her, too.” This was the beginning of a life-long love of music and the first of several instruments that she learned to play. The Spratt family had a band and played for many dances and community events in Fairfield and surrounding communities. Patty, as she was known then, was a stellar student graduating as valedictorian of her class in 1942. She kept very busy with drama, debate, and reporter/editor of the Snowshoe school paper. She was in band, played baseball, lettered in basketball, and was a member of 4-H. A family friend encouraged her to become a telegrapher after high school, and she started working for the Union Pacific Railroad in June of 1943. Besides being a telegrapher, she passed messages to the engineers. This involved standing as close as 1 foot to a speeding 60 mile-per-hour train. Messages were attached to a string at the top of forked stick, and the engineers grabbed them as the train went by. If they had to stop and back up to get the message, it did not bring many smiles! This job gave her the opportunity to see many part of the western U.S. (Nevada, Idaho, Utah, Oregon, and Wyoming) as she traveled the rails to where she was needed. As the troops began to return from World War II, she was released from her job with the railroad to let returning military personnel find employment to support their families. While working in Reverse, Idaho, Pat met Don Flock, and they were married. Of this union 2 children were born, Patricia (Patsy) in 1948 and William (Bill) in 1949. They later divorced. After a brief return to the U.P. Railroad, Pat married E.C. (Ted) Herman on November 3, 1951. They moved from New Plymouth to Emmett after the completion of their new home which had been a barracks that Ted bought and rebuilt on the present homesite. Four children were born to complete their family: Marie, Ruth,
Jim, and Jean. As her family grew, Pat was very involved with their education and events at Vanderdasson School, including playing piano for special occasions and PTA, where she was involved in starting the first “hot lunch” program (which consisted of hot dogs and chips)! During these years, she became familiar with the policies of placing “handicapped” children in the public school system. One of her children was born with a physical handicap which caused him to walk with a slight limp. He was not raised to view his limp as a handicap, and she would not allow the school system to treat him as having a handicap. To support their family, Ted and Pat operated a dairy farm while Ted worked for Boise Cascade lumber mill in Emmett and Pat raised the family. In 1963, Pat and Ted ran Emmett Meat and had a mobile butcher truck. Pat worked for the Messenger Index as a rural reporter; for the Census Bureau in 1964; and for the Election Board at the Letha voting polls. She was a bookkeeper for Rambow Logging, a tax preparer at H&R Block; and later worked for three CPA’s during tax seasons until her retirement at age 62. Pat played drums, piano, organ, clarinet, and the accordion, and enjoyed listening to the radio and the record player. She and Ted became avid rockhounds, were members of the Squaw Butte Rockhounds in Emmett, and traveled all over the northwest to find beautiful stones. Pat and Ted also enjoyed ballroom dancing for many years. Pat was a long-time member of the New Plymouth Leland E. Thomas VFW Auxilliary Post Number 9036 and held all offices, including the Idaho State VFW Auxiliary president.
Pat was preceded in death by her parents, Bruce and Florence Spratt; brother and sister-in-law, Irving and Betty Spratt; and brother, Bruce Spratt; daughter, Pat Morris; son, Bill Flock; granddaughter, Lori Morris. Pat is survived by her husband of 64 years, Edgell C. (Ted) Herman of Emmett, Idaho; her son-in-law, John Morris of Glenns Ferry, Idaho; her daughter-in-law, Nancy Flock of Spokane, Washington; her daughter, Marie Warehime (Scott Kammeyer) of St. Maries, Idaho; her daughter, Ruth Herman of Boise, Idaho; her son, Jim (Lori) Herman of Emmett, Idaho; her daughter, Jean Herman of Boise, Idaho; and her sister-in-law, Lydia Spratt of Fresno, California and Nampa, Idaho. She is also survived by her grandchildren including Beth (Neil) Kerr, Jeff Gilmore, Lisa (Kirk) Paulson, David (Chanell) Flock, James (Starla) Flock, Angela (Demontate) Lopp, Lance Warehime, Staci (Brett) Rogers, Ryan (Jessica) Herman, Jason (Ann) Herman; 20 great-grandchildren including Christopher, Ryan, Trevor, Riley, Isaiah, Bekah, Peyton, Kayla, Ja’Kolbe, Jai’dynn, Layci, Lydia, Jayce, Kali, Ty, Otis, Isabella, Eleanor, Brandon, and Bailey. Also important to her were her numerous nieces and nephews and their families.
A memorial service is being planned for May 14, 2016 in Emmett.

There was a day when Cracker Jacks had a value second to none. Everyone wanted that candy coated popcorn and peanuts, and of course the toy that came in each box Cracker Jacks. The old commercials on TV (If you are old enough to remember) would show a young boy or two coming in the store and laying all their change on the counter for a box of Cracker Jacks. They would be short and the clerk would shake his head no. Then the kid would take out his prized sized pocket knife or some keepsake hoping he could get the Cracker Jacks. Not long ago, while at the store, I thought I’d check the value of today’s Cracker Jacks. Today’s packaging comes in a bag like potatoes chips or you have to buy three at a time. Wouldn’t you know it, I was thirty cents short of the total. The gal at the counter agreed I was short thirty cents. I dug into my pockets and produced a 1/2 inch washer (for what reason I had it, who knows.) I sat it on the counter and the clerk just looked at me with a strange look. Then I laid my pocket knife on the counter and told her, “One blade is broken, but is it enough to trade for the Cracker Jacks?” She shook her head and said her husband doesn’t hunt and doesn’t need a knife. She continued her assertsion that I was thirty cents short. I guess she didn’t remember the good old commercials and didn’t think I was humorous. I added a dollar bill to the change and left with the Cracker Jacks. I couldn’t wait to see what I got for the prize. (Just a little paper thing???) In 1871 Frederick Ruscheim, a German immigrant, headed to Chicago after the Great Fire for work. Paying jobs weren’t as good as he was told. Fredrick opened a onepopper popcorn stand. Business expanded to bigger stands until finally popcorn wholesaling. Fredrick brought his brother Louis from Germany and sold him half of his business. For the Columbia Exhibition, the first World’s Fair, they produced a new product with molasses, peanuts and a new secret ingredient that didn’t make the popcorn stick together. The trademarked name was from a Victorian slang, for something very good. “That’s a cracker jack!” The Cracker Jack logo was a sailor boy and his dog Bingo, which were from two things; Fredricks grandson was always dressed as a sailor boy and a wartime salute to our soliders. At first the prizes in Cracker Jacks were coupons to save and trade. Later they became real toys (now they are paper games). Since 1912 Cracker Jacks has given out 23 billion toys - perhaps making it the biggest provider of toys in the World. This is my Carmel coated “Cup of Tee!”

Now Open for LUNCH! Prime Time for Lake & Reservoir Fishing
Many of Idaho’s low-elevation reservoirs are in peak season during April and May when warmwater fish are feeding actively as they prepare to spawn. That includes bass and panfish, such as crappie and bluegill. Most reservoirs are full in the spring, which makes prime habitat in shallow bays and coves available for anglers. Serving Camas, Lincoln & Gooding Counties Fish and Game also ramps up its trout stocking program during spring and delivers fish to most lakes and reservoirs. Fish and Game is stocking “magnum” rainbow trout in many places, and those fish are typically stocked at 12 to 14 inches long. Some lakes also have “carry over” trout from previous year’s stocking. Those can grow to trophy-sizes within a few years with good water conditions. Bass and panfish are not stocked by Fish and Game, but F&G crews occasionally move them around when needed to jumpstart a new population (like city ponds).
