While in Bear County...

Black bears are a common animal in the Sawtooth NRA. Seeing a bear at a distance can be a wonderful experience but having one at your campsite can be a problem.

Bears that learn that campers and campground garbage containers are food sources may become nuisance animals which need to be removed for public safety. Learn the rules of camping in bear country and practice them every time you camp or picnic. Remember “A fed bear is a dead bear”.

Bear etiquette in campgrounds, dispersed camps, and picnic areas:

● Always keep a clean camp.

● Select a campsite way from animal trails, thick brush and bear food sources such as berry patches and fish spawning streams.

● Store coolers in hard sided locked vehicle and cover them. Keep food, cooking equipment, garbage and other scented items such as toothpaste, insect repellant hidden in a locked hardsided vehicle, bear resistant containers or by hanging at least 10 feet of the ground and four feet out from a tree.

● Clean fish and game away from campsites. Dispose of waste in bear secure dumpsters.

● Secure dumpsters properly after using them. Shutting the lid is not enough, make sure latch is closed properly or use the bars or chains provided.

Keep garbage stored with food or take immediately to the bear resistant dumpster at the campground. Do not leave food, beverages or coolers unattended. In the backcountry set up your sleeping area 300 feet or more from your food storage and cooking/eating areas. And... Keep sleeping bags and personal gear free of odors.

If a bear enters your campsite or nearby area, back out of the area slowly and calmly. Do not run, don’t gather your food up, or approach the bear. If the bear approaches, continue to face the bear, and slowly back away. If the bear continues to approach, try to scare it away by shouting and taking an aggressive stance.

Food Storage Requirements:

Food must be actively attended while transporting, preparing and eating it.

All attractants must be stored in a locked bear-resistant container, hard-sided residence or building, or a closed vehicle constructed of solid, non-pliable material or suspended at least 10 feet clear of the ground at all points and 4 feet horizontally from supporting tree or pole.

Animal carcasses must be acceptably stored or located at least 100 yards away from any camping or sleeping area or National Forest System Trail unless it is being eaten, being prepared for eating or being transported.

Bear Attractants include food, toiletries, cosmetics, livestock feed and animal carcasses; examples such as soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, canned foods, pet foods, processed livestock feed and grains, personal hygiene products, and empty food and beverage containers.

Physical Gold & Precious Metal???

The Idaho Department of Finance (IDOF) is warning the public against scams that involve the physical purchase and delivery of gold and other precious metals. Illicit actors trick victims into believing that either their identity, computer, or financial account(s) have been compromised. Once an illicit actor convinces the victim that they are involved in a criminal situation, the victims are then directed to purchase physical gold or precious metals to protect their assets. The victims are then told to deliver the gold/precious metals to couriers posing as either government officials, financial professionals, or tech support staff. The couriers take possession of the gold/precious metals on behalf of the illicit actors and transport them to complete the scam.

According to a recent FBI investigation...

Physical Gold & Precious Metal Scams

...victims lost over $55 million during the last eight months of 2023 to scams involving cash and precious metal couriers. Many of the victims are seniors who are told by scammers that they will safeguard their funds when in reality they are stealing their funds. Idahoans are encouraged to be vigilant and to look for the following red flags pertaining to these scams:

● A computer pop-up message appears stating you have been hacked or an unsolicited call/text message is received from an unknown government official or business professional saying you are the victim of identity theft or involved in a crime.

● You are instructed to liquidate assets into gold or precious metals to protect the assets or to act as a form of collateral to ensure you are willing to cooperate with a government investigation.

● A new connection maintains frequent contact with you via text and/ or phone calls and instructs you to purchase gold or precious metals before directing you to meet a courier.

● You are instructed to authenticate the delivery of gold/precious metals by using a passcode.

● A supposed business professional or government official tells you they will safeguard your assets in a protected account.

Cup of Tee by Tee Hurd

A few weeks ago, I was driving through Payette, Idaho. On a power pole I saw a sign that said, "Ray's Sale." It didn't say yard sale, garage sale, or estate sale but Ray's Sale. I decided to turn around and see what kind of sale this was.

Upon arriving at "Ray's" place it was like walking into a museum/indoor yard sale. There was a little bit of everything you could think of, from antiques to current items.

I wandered around for a few minutes looking at items. Then I asked Ray's wife what the deal was about Ray's Sale. She said that he was a Vietnam Vet and he spends all year buying and selling for this three-day sale. I now had a better understanding of Ray's Sale.

I was personally visiting with Ray when three younger gals started looking at a rotary phone. For those of you who don't know what a rotary phone is, you are missing a big part of American history.

The rotary phone was a large plastic phone about the size of a dinner plate that had internal bells that rang, and a round set of numbers that had a slot for your finger. You placed your finger in the number you desired and spun it around, similar to a spinning wheel game. Once you spun the dial, it would roll back around to the start position (similar to something on a spring). You repeated the process until you had all the digits of the phone number dialed.

Ray bet the girls $20 that they could operate the phone. Each girl took a turn at dialing the phone. Each girl pushed at the numbers in the finger slots without spinning the dial. Each was puzzled. Then... Ray showed them how to dial the numbers.

They asked Ray if he was serious... that was how the numbers were selected??? The process seemed to be very time consuming. They asked Ray what you did if you make a mistake. He told them you started over. It was hard for them to imagine.

One gal asked, "Where is the Siri button?" She was surprised to find there was no such function.

I told them (in addition to what Ray showed them) most every number you dialed outside your own town was a long distance call, unlike today where you can anywhere in the world.

Ray and I both explained about the "Party Line." That was unheard of... to share your own phone with six of more people???

My whole day was made by finding the Ray's Sale sign and seeing the gals trying to operate something that was second nature to my generation... as opposed to my generation trying to operate their tools.

This is my “Cup of Tee” hold the Siri please.

The telephone will be used to inform people that a telegram has been sent.

Dusty Blodgett

With heavy hearts and happy memories, we say goodbye to Dusty, whose heart was as big as his laughter.

Dusty Blodgett, 43, a resident of Boise, Idaho, passed away on April 18, 2024. Dusty Lee Blodgett was born on November 25, 1980 in Hailey Idaho, the son of Krissi Hansen and Brent Blodgett. He was raised and educated in Fairfield, Idaho.

Dusty was someone to everyone - He was a son that brought endless joy and a few grey hairs. He was a brother to look up to. He was a friend in the good times, the hard times and everything in between. Whether he was listening without judgement, offering a helping hand or cracking a joke to lift your spirits, he was there and he did what he could to help. His quick wit and playful banter could make any situation a good time, leaving us all laughing and with memories that will last forever. Most importantly though, Dusty was a father. He had three beautiful daughters that he raised with his best friend. His greatest joy was spending time with them and watching them grow.

He is survived by: his parents - Krissi and Mark Hansen and Brent Blodgett; three daughters - Aliyah Blodgett, Kaylee Blodgett and Payton Blodgett; three sisters - Kali Blodgett, Connie Hansen and Nikki Stavely; three brothers - Ben Blodgett, Mark Hansen Jr. and Brandon Hansen.

Though he may no longer walk among us, Dusty’s spirit will live on in our hearts. As we mourn his passing, let us also celebrate the incredible joy and love he shared with us all. Rest in peace, Dusty, knowing you are loved beyond measure and will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

Funeral services were held on Saturday, May 4, 2024, in Fairfield, Idaho.

Florence Mary Sandy

obituary

Florence Mary Sandy was born on May 2nd, 1923, in her childhood home in Hagerman. She went home to be with her Lord and Savior on May 10th, 2024, surrounded by family in her same home at the age of 101. Her life was filled with faith, joy and service to family and community. She would often quote the Bible Verse, Nehemiah 8:10, “The joy of the Lord is my Strength.” Her mother and father, John W. Jones and Ethel (Justice) Jones, were in the sheep business. Every spring they would trail the sheep from Hagerman all the way to the Stanley Basin in the Sawtooth Mountains.Fall and winter months were spent in Hagerman both in town and out on the family ranch on Billingsley Creek. Florence Mary always loved being on the go! In 1936, at the age of 13, her family took a trip to Wales, Great Britain, her father’s birth home. They travelled by train to New York where they boarded the passenger ship, Queen Elizabeth. She remembered as they passed through the harbor, the pride she felt seeing Ellis Island where her father had landed as an immigrant at the age of 16. It took five days to cross the Atlantic, where Florence Mary, her parents and her younger brother, Bill, spent 3 months visiting family and seeing the sights. She recounted getting a very high mark on her end of the year exams in Geography.

In 1941, Florence Mary boarded the train bound for the University of Washington in Seattle. As she was adjusting to college life, one evening while studying, her roommate came running into her room and said, “Turn on the radio!” Florence Mary heard the announcer say, “The Japanese have bombed Pearl Harbor.” Orders were given to turn out all the lights as they sat in the dark listening to President Roosevelt declare war. From that moment on, college life became quite different. As most of the college men joined the service, Florence Mary volunteered at the USO and she became efficient at the soda fountain and dancing with the servicemen to tunes on the Juke Box. She also volunteered to be a Red Cross nurse’s aide at King County Hospital. As so many women were going to work in the factories to help with the war efforts, the YWCA started a day care, and Florence was the first volunteer and the chairman of the volunteers from her university. Little did she know that her future husband was also a serviceman in the U.S. Navy Air Force.

Florence Mary returned from college to help her father as he recovered from an illness and then taught High School in Hagerman for a year. She said, “I never had any discipline problems with the students.” She formed a unique technique for those times, where she divided the students into study groups while in class and the students worked together in solving math problems and working on special history reports and papers.

A family friend of Florence Mary introduced her to Alfred Sandy, of Shoshone, after he had returned from World War II, when they showed up unannounced at her family home in Hagerman. Florence graciously called a friend in town, and they all went to dance at “HalfWay” outside of Hagerman. On the way back to Shoshone that evening, Alfred’s cousin said, “I’ll be the best man at your wedding.” Alfred proposed to Florence in her home after properly courting and asking her father’s permission. Ed was the best man at their wedding on October 19th, 1946.

As she settled into life as a farmer/rancher wife and mother of 4 children, Florence Mary made it seem easy as she cooked for farm workers, smoothly ran her home, taught Sunday School and volunteered for a myriad of school and community activities. She was always a gracious hostess and was an amazing cook! Most meals were comprised of fresh baked bread, gravy and a pot-roast of some kind along with steamed vegetables from the garden and always homemade desserts. Her calm demeanor and organized ways made meals around the table a joy for all present.

Her life of faith was at the heart of everything Florence Mary did! She followed in the footsteps of her grandmother, Willa Arizona Justice, and her mother, Ethel (Justice) Jones as a member of the Methodist Church in Hagerman, throughout her life. She sang duets in her earlier years, and then for over 70 years sang in the choir and played the handbells, always with her adorable smile. She was a Methodist Church delegate for several years to the Regional Church Conference. She actively participated in the “Walk to Emmaus” 27 times for these special spiritual weekend retreats for women. She was trained as a lay speaker in the Methodist Church and when asked to pray or speak she would never hesitate to surprise people with her resonating full voice coming from such a small frame. Her joy was ministering to and praying

for women to know and follow Christ. She and her friend, Marian Simonsen, made a great team as they visited with people in their homes around Hagerman to offer words of encouragement and prayer.

Her faith journey and love for travel took her to a World Holy Spirit conference at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where her daughter, Cheryl was living at the time. She landed on a family trip in Europe at “LaBri” in Huemoz, Switzerland where she participated in a world prayer conference and heard the renowned Christian Philosopher, Francis Schaffer speak. She loved enhancing her faith by attending conferences and reading inspirational books along with studying the Bible. She never hesitated to pray for or with someone who needed emotional or physical healing.

She always loved adventure and traveling with her husband, family and friends on cruises and trips to England, Alaska, Louisianna, Hawaii, Florida, California and Branson, Missouri. In recent years she loved to go on spontaneous adventures. She traveled to England with her grandson, Chad and daughter, Cheryl, to Washington D.C with her granddaughter, Anna, to Mount Rushmore with her son, Robert, and many road trips to Stanley and other locations with her daughter, Lora and great granddaughter, Allie. Travel and exploration with her family was always her delight.

In 2008, Florence Mary participated in the Mrs. Senior Idaho Pageant and won 3rd runner up as well as receiving the “Best Philosophy of Life” award. She recited it in poetry form and wherever she went she loved to share it with young and old alike. When visiting her daughter, Cheryl who was living in Pasadena, California, Florence Mary recited it by heart to one of the young guards at the Norten Simon Art Gallery. The young man was so moved by her words that he began to shed some tears.

Love of Country and the freedoms our wonderful United States of America had afforded, motivated Florence Mary to be active politically in the Republican Party all her life. She was president of the Gooding County Republican Women’s Club for 17 years and actively promoted conservative candidates both locally and nationally. She was an active member and Chaplin of the Magic Valley Republican Women’s Club for several years. Florence Mary was honored in 2022 by the State of Idaho Republican Party with a “Lifetime Achievement Award”.

She was active in the Hagerman Historical Society, Hagerman Beautification Committee, and always a supporter and volunteer of school activities both when her own children were in school and into her later years. She always had a special fondness for the music program at school and for the Future Farmers of America, as she attended and supported these programs. She was very proud of each of her four children and grandchildren who all attended the Hagerman School System all 12 years and all graduated from Hagerman High School. Her great granddaughter, Allie’s musical excellence and loving spirit brought so much peace and joy in Florence’s later years.

Florence Mary’s endless energy, positive attitude towards life, and love of people made her a force to be reckoned with wherever she was focused. She was a dreamer who never stopped thinking of plans and goals throughout her entire life as a centenarian. Many people have asked, “What is your secret to life?” She always told them, “I had a very happy childhood and a blessed life. I have made good choices and honored the Lord through serving Him.” “Well Done, Thy Good and Faithful servant.” Mathew 25:21.

Those who have gone home to the Lord before Florence Mary were: Her parents, John W. Jones Sr., and Ethel (Justice) Jones. Her husband of 59 years, William Alfred Sandy. Her brother, Bill Jones (Deloris). Her husband’s parents, Horace and Ada Sandy. Her beloved daughter, Lora Sandy Silver Lewis.

Her remaining family: Great Granddaughters Allie Silver and Emerie White; Grandchildren Anna Silver White (Travis White), Chad Silver, and Lee Andrew Silver; Children Robert Sandy, Cheryl Sandy-Miller (Steve Miller), and John Sandy (Robin Sandy); Son-in-law Mark Lewis; and many cousins, nieces, and nephews.

All are invited to services on May 30th. The Celebration of Life will be held at the Hagerman Methodist Church at 3:30 p.m. followed by food and visiting around 5:00 p.m. All are invited as well to a brief graveside service at the Hagerman Cemetery the same day at 2:00 p.m.

Florence Mary’s family send our love and appreciation to all who made her life so full and wonderful. We would be grateful for any donations made in her honor to Hagerman FFA or the Hagerman Alumni Association.
