Frank Lloyd Wright in Idaho
On June 10, 2017 Preservation Idaho will offer two opportunities to tour the Archie Teater Studio, also known as Teater’s Knoll, located along the Snake River between Bliss and Hagerman. The studio is the only building in Idaho designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Henry Whiting (the current owner of the studio) has graciously offered to open his home to supporters of Preservation Idaho for a celebration of the life of it’s designer. 2017 marks the 150th year since the birth of Frank Lloyd Wright. Two small group tours will take place on June 10th - 3 to 7 p.m. and 7 to 11 p.m. Due to the nature of the site all participants must arrive and depart on
the transportation provided by Preservation Idaho. During the visit to Teater’s Knoll, participants will learn about Frank Lloyd Wright, Archie Teater and his work, and some of the background about how the studio was built. Tickets are available through Preservation Idaho’s website www.preservationidaho.org. A motorcoach will depart from Boise and stop in Bliss for other participants. Costs are $150 (afternoon) and $250 (evening). Both tours will include light snacks and/or hors d’oeuvres, as well as beverages. For more information, goto their web site or call 208-424-5111.
New Bridges Planned for Highway 20
Built in the mid 50’s, two creek crossings under Highway 20 west of Fairfield are in desperate need of repair. The large culverts at Willow Creek (12.5 miles west) and Rock Creek (20 miles west in Blaine County) are slowly rusting and eroding away. The main issue is the erosion of soil around the culverts. For nearly ten years, the Idaho Department of Transportation (ITD) has been working to find the best solution for this problem. In that process, Idaho Fish & Game, Trout Unlimited, and other organizations have asked for improved fish passage. Currently, both culverts are perched, meaning the outlets are elevated above the downstream water surface. This makes it difficult or impossible for fish to move upstream. Installing fish ladders in the culverts is one solution, but most stream fish do not like entering large dark areas. Also, the cost of replacing the culverts is nearly the same as installing a bridge. Bridge crossings would not only improve fish passage, but would also provide for big game migration, which would help reduce the amount of game on the highway. The current plan is to start construction next year or 2019. Construction will include two new bridges and the removal of approximately 41–feet of fill at Willow Creek and 20-feet of fill
at Rock Creek (distance from stream bed to top of roadway). Public meetings were held last week on these projects, but you are still encouraged to send comments to ITD. Send your comments or suggestions to Nathan Jerke, Public Information: Idaho Transportation Dept. 216 South Date Street ~ Shoshone, Idaho 83352 or... nathan.jerke@itd.idaho.gov Comments must be received by June 9, 2017, to be considered for this project.

Summary Judgement Issued in Camas County Lawsuit
On Thursday of last week, Fifth Judicial District Judge, Robert Elgee, issued a summary judgement for the lawsuit filed against Camas County over changes made to its zoning ordinance regarding private airports. In his ruling, Judge Elgee agreed with the plaintiffs that Camas County failed to follow certain procedures in making changes to its zoning ordinance. The primary issue was that Camas County did not consider its Comprehenive Plan before make the ordinance changes. In addressing the issue of standing, Judge Elgee noted that this is an ongoing process on the part of the county to address airports throughout the county, and not specific to the air strip being constructed near Willow Creek.

However, because the ordinance changes put no restrictions on how air strips (airports) can be used, it opened up the “potential” for harm to the residents of that area. Nowhere in his ruling did Judge Elgee say there was anything wrong with the actual ordinance changes (that’s a legislative process, not judicial), nor did he suggest that emanate danger relating to air traffic was real, only that the procedure was flawed. Next Tuesday, June 6th, Camas County P&Z will hold a public hearing to consider the addition of Section XVII to the Comprehensive Plan (see page 6). This hearing is NOT in response to the lawsuit, but part of an ongoing effort to address new requirements by the State of Idaho.

Cup of Tee
© Ever have one of those moments when you lay something up and you can’t find it? The funny thing is you put it up so you can find it. Lately I have been misplacing things and can’t remember where I put them so I could find them. I was talking to my friend Sandra Lynn about misplacing things, and two hours later I called her back and told her I found one of the three items I’d been looking for. In our conversation she told me she saw a clipping of a young boy who has a serious illness and all he wants to do is make an accomplishment for his upcoming birthday. He’s not asking for a rocket to take him to space or anything like that. He merely wants to receive 100,000 birthday cards for his birthday. His request has touched me a little. Normally on Memorial Day, we think of ones gone before us. There is usually family gatherings and an open invitation to summer. In this case, we have a young person wanting to celebrate a little life, perhaps with some friends. Or, to be thought of as living and not in the past tense. I have written things to graduates whom I have never met. I have done things for strangers I didn’t even know. I have had people read my newsletter who don’t know me as well. Things don’t stop because we don’t have a personal connection. I’m on board to send this youngster a happy birthday card. I hope many of the people who read this column will follow me to help this young fellow’s

wish. Fairfield and the surrounding areas are a very generous people. I’m not much into the computer scene or even FaceBook. I’m hoping everyone can help me by sending a message to everyone to send a birthday card. The card doesn’t have to be elaborate or even purchased. It could be homemade. I would like to see all of us be the leader in that 100 thousand birthday card wish. The ad on the bullet board reads as follows: “There’s a 14-year-old boy in Arizona who has a mitochondrial disease. He may not live to see his 15th birthday in August. All he wants is to receive 100,000 birthday cards before he dies. Please send him a card (2 or 3). Make one or buy your own. Let’s make this boy’s wish come true.”

obit ua r ies Sheri Sylten
Sheri Sylten, age 55, peacefully passed away at home in her sleep on May 22, 2017 after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born on April 1, 1962 in Gooding, Idaho to Gene and Verda Larsen, the youngest of five children. She attended school in Gooding until 1974 when the family moved to Twin Falls where she graduated from high school in 1980. Sheri then moved to Salt Lake City and graduated from Stevens-Hennegar School of Business. She was married and divorced to Don Hamm and LaMar Sylten. Sheri is survived by her brother, Gene Larsen (Stephanie) of Twin Falls, two sisters, Lana Simis (Larry) of Gooding, Patti Pugmire (Doyle) of Boise, nieces, Tonya Harris, Shelley Comstock and Ashlee Larsen, nephews, Terry Bruns, Lane Pugmire, Todd Simis, Michael Simis, her friend, Jeff Abramowski of Twin Falls and pets, Bandit, Koko and Barrell. She was preceded in death by her parents, Gene and Verda Larsen, a brother Larry W Larsen and a nephew Larry E Larsen. Sheri had a beautiful soul and a heart of pure gold. Her smile was perfect and her laugh contagious. She was a strong, independent woman who loved life and family. The love she shared was deep to the core, however, deeply affected by demons of addiction which she often battled until 2015. Cancer then became her battle. Although she lost that fight, she was forever thankful to have precious time with family who surrounded her with so much love and care that she would cry happy tears. A true survivor, not wanting to give up her freedom or burden others, she mostly took care of herself to the end. On her last day, sitting outside her home in the sunshine, she smiled and said, “ It’s gonna be OK”. Goodnight and sweet dreams. I love you with all my heart! In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donating to favorite cancer research or animal rescue charity. Graveside services were held on Tuesday, May 30, 2017 at the Elmwood Cemetery in Gooding.

Cody was born on February 28, 1993 in Jerome, Idaho, the son of Harold and Charmain Mays. He was raised and educated in Hagerman, where he graduated from Hagerman High School with his diploma in 2011. Upon his graduation he attended North West Lineman College in Meridian, Idaho. After receiving his certification he embarked on a journey across the country with his cousin, Steven to North Dakota to start his career. After only a few short months he realized his love for family and friends and returned back to Idaho. In 2012 he entered into the Electrical Apprentice program at the College of Southern Idaho. During his schooling he was employed at Freedom Electric in Jerome. On May 6, 2016 he received his journeyman license. He later went on to work for Magic Valley Electric in Jerome. Everyone he worked with became his extended family after just a short time. Cody’s love for sports started at birth, we’re pretty sure he was born with a ball in his hand. He was active in football and baseball his entire life. Many of his fellow players would remember him as “The Sackmaster.” He beat the 20 year record at Hagerman High School for the most sacks. He loved the Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bulls and the New York Yankees. He would argue with anyone about his teams’ stats and records. Cody accomplished more in 24 years of life than most people ever accomplish. He owned his own home which he shared with Cassie Hesse; had bought his most prized possession - a beautiful truck; and earned his journeyman’s license.
