News Hagerman Pharmacy Opens
After two years of planning and over six months of getting the building ready, the Hagerman Valley Pharmacy opened its doors on Monday at the Frog’s Landing Complex in Hagerman (south end of town). The Hagerman Chamber of Commerce welcomed the new business with a ribbon cutting and the owners provided a free BBQ lunch for those who braved the windy weather. Hagerman Valley Pharmacy is a Telepharmacy operating as a satellite of the Wendell Pharmacy. Instead of driving up to Wendell, residents of Hagerman can talk to the pharmacist, Tony Rost, on a special live/interactive video system. Once that is done, the technicians (Carrie Belem and Debbie Edwards) will fill your prescriptions. Aside from the convenience of this service to Hagerman residents, telepharmacy reduces the cost of providing pharmaceutical services in lower populated areas. While not all areas can support this sort of business, it is a great opportunity to provide healthcare products to rural communities. The owner, Dr. Thomas Wadsworth, is the Assistant Dean for Alaska programs at Idaho State University in the Department of Pharmacy Practice and Administrative Sciences. He is also a partner with Tim Brown, the pharmacist at KJ’s Pharmacy in Twin Falls. Tom’s brother, Andrew Wadsworth, is the business manager at KJ’s (above photo: Andrew, Tony & Tim). Hagerman Valley Pharmacy is open 10 to 5, Monday thru Friday.

Lincoln County
Commissioner Selection Meeting
On Thursday, May 10th, the Lincoln County Republican Party Central Committee will hold a public meeting at the Lincoln County Courthouse to deliberate and determine the names of three nominees to be sent to Governor Otter to fill a vacancy on the Board of County Commissioners. The meeting will begin at 6:00 p.m. Interviews of potential candidates will be conducted privately to provide confidentiality. After interviews and deliberations are completed, voting will take place to determine the ranking of each candidate being recommended. The list of nominees will be forwarded to the Governor’s office and he will have 15 days to appoint a person to become County Commissioner in District 1 for the remainder of the current term. Only Precinct Committeeman/Committeewomen may nominate or vote in this selection process. However, the Chairman of the Central Committee, Don Hudson, and the Precinct Committeeman for Precinct 1, Terry Zech, will not participate in these proceedings because they are both potential nominees. The Committee Vice Chair, Betty Peyman, will preside and conduct the proceedings and Cory Kneip, State Committeeman, will act as an alternate for Precinct 1 Committeeman. While the public is invited to observe the non-confidential portion of the proceedings and to hear the announcement of the results, public comments will not be allowed. If you would like more information about this process, contact the Lincoln County Republican Central Committee.
COLD WATER IS DANGEROUS
The Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation (IDPR) is urging all boaters and paddlers to wear life jackets. Air temperatures are forecasted to be in the 70s and 80s across the state later this week, however, water temperatures in rivers, reservoirs and lakes remain ice cold. In the last two months three people have died in Idaho from falling out of a boat into cold water. “One of the challenges in Idaho is that higher air temperatures in the spring can cause a false sense of security for boaters,” says David Dahms, state boating law administrator. When it is 80 continued on page 4...

Zions Bank’s “A” Grades Melody McHan rewarded for great grades through Pays for A’s program
Dietrich Middle School seventh-grader Melody McHan received a $100 scholarship savings account as a regional winner of the spring drawing through Zions Bank’s Pays for A’s program. Pays for A’s rewards students who put in the effort to make their grades count. Sharon Seifert, assistant manager of the Gooding financial center, surprised McHan with her win during a presentation at the school on April 18th. McHan was entered into the drawing by bringing her report card to Zions Bank and was paid for every “A” she received. More than 3,140 students entered the spring drawing throughout Idaho and Utah. “Zions Bank is proud to recognize the efforts and achievements of students like Melody through the Pays for A’s program,” said Seifert. “It is our goal to partner with teachers and parents to encourage students to do their very best in school.” Pays for A’s is open to all Utah and Idaho students ages 12 to 18. Students can participate by bringing their most current term-end report card into any Zions Bank location. Students do not need a Zions Bank account to participate. They’ll receive $1 per “A” deposited into their savings account, or 50 cents per “A” if they opt for cash. For each “A” on their report cards, students are entered into a drawing to win one of 150 regional scholarship prizes each worth $100 and one grand prize worth $1,000 in each state.

Š A few weeks ago my friend gave me a brand new hat from the business he was working for. It was a really nice hat. I decided that I should wear it cause I wasn’t working anywhere I was going to be in grease. Somehow, my really nice hats get caught with me at work and grease seems to jump on them. I went out to the place where I have my bus parked and thought I would pull an elm tree that had gotten started in the pasture with my John Deere 60 tractor. As I got the tree half way pulled out, my tractor ran out of fuel. I jumped in the car with my old faithful gas can without the pour spout and headed to town to get gasoline. I got some gas and was back to pour it in the tractor. The breeze was slight and I spilled some gas over the hood of my tractor. I wiped it off and cranked the engine. Apparently, I spilt some gas on the distributor because when my tractor started, it ignited and the side of my tractor was on fire. The only thing I had at arm’s reach was my new hat. With a multitude of beatings, the fire was out. My tractor was saved, but my new hat was charred and blackened. One day on my head and that hat was history. As we come out of winter, we are engaged in a number of activities. With the hurry we get in to get things going, we sometimes overlook safety issues... just as I did with the gas in my tractor. I knew I should have used a funnel. Hauling and storing gasoline should be in proper containers and storage areas. One should not fill gasoline containers in a pickup with a bedliner. The plastic causes static electricity which can cause fire. When filling the container,

it should be taken out of the vehicle. Always use clean fuel. Dirty fuel has its was of causing problems. When burning one should have plenty of help and tools (that could include a tractor and a disc). Spring winds don’t care whose fire they use to burn something nearby or the neighbors. Burn permits should be exercised. The extension cord used to plug in an engine block heater could have moisture inside it. This could cause electrical shorts or electrocution. The ground may be soft where a ladder needs to be used. A firmness check could save a ride to the hospital. In some areas, north side ice could still be present. Batteries may be a little light after the winter season. Jump starting procedures should be without fault. An inspection of batteries life span should be noted (check expiration or install dates). A battery replacement may be in order for safe operations. Tire pressure should be looked at. A low tire could cause a blow out which could cause serious injuries. An overall inspection of tire is not necessarily a seasonal change thing, although from winter to spring the temperatures rapidly changes. No matter what hat you wear or if you are new to a hat’s occupation, there is always time to be safe. Be safety conscious always. This is my “Cup of Safe-Tee.�

degrees and sunny outside it is hard to imagine the potential dangers of cold water when you are boating, fishing or paddling. However, water temperatures in rivers and reservoirs may only be in the 40s or 50s due to runoff from melting snow and ice in the mountains, which could lead to a life-threatening situation if a person accidentally falls overboard. When a person falls into cold water the shock of the cold water causes you to gasp for air. It literally takes your breath away and the ability to hold your breath is almost impossible. Without a life jacket to keep you afloat a person that accidentally falls into cold water may drown within minutes.

Craig H. Olsen
Craig H. Olsen left this earth on April 20, 2018 after a battle of what we call life in the presence of family. Craig was born on December 11th 1955 to Blaine and Mardelle Olsen. Craig was a man like no other. He spent his entire life tending to the soil and growing crops where others would have failed. He was a master of farming and found his calm in working long hours and breaking his back to make his living. Craig married the love of his life, Debra Sears, and together they had three children that would be Craig’s biggest blessing. He instilled hard work ethic into his children and taught them to give to others even if it meant having to go without. Craig was the King of nicknames and would take it upon himself to bestow an alternate title to anyone he met and cared about. From Jenny Bug, Ry Guy, and Fudd he took great pride in his naming skills and would often forget those he named actual birth given names. It would be impossible to list Craig’s surviving family member because to Craig a stranger was family. He loved unconditionally and was the embodiment of what a man should be. He never complained, he woke up with the sun every morning to tend to his farms even when his body wanted otherwise, and always put others first. We will always remember him for his three kisses on the cheek, his “you know how I mean that” phrase, and his “Daddy loves you”. No written word could ever fully describe the man that gave life and love to us, but we will continue to live a life that he would have been proud of and know that he will forever live on through his children. Craig is survived by his daughter Jennifer Olsen (Jake Norman) of Bliss, son Ryan Olsen (Tawny Olsen) of Meridian, and daughter Amanda Hanson (Isaiah Hanson) of Twin Falls. He leaves behind five beautiful grandchildren; Ty Kistler, Mason Norman, River Olsen, Sariyah Olsen, and Vincent Delaney. A celebration of life will be held on a later date that the family will announce once all plans are final. Dad, you showed us the importance of loving others and always lending a helping hand whenever there is a need. You taught us hard work is the only option no matter your circumstances. Thank you for all you did with what you had!...and you know how I mean that! With love and three kisses on the cheek!
