BBQ in Wendell Photo & Story by Ryan Foster Sammy’s Diner, a barbeque vendor, has recently opened up in Wendell. Located in front of the old Pit Stop gas station, it is hard to miss. Jason Christoffersen, the Co-owner said, “I love this location because of the good traffic that passes by and it has great visibility from the street.” Christoffersen has been working in the barbeque industry for nearly twenty years, alongside his brother and co-owner who also has thirty years of experience. Originally starting Sammy’s Diner in Las Vegas with his brother, Christoffersen wanted to venture back to Wendell and try selling his barbeque locally.
“Business has been doing quite well, especially during lunch”, said Christoffersen. “The most popular item on the menu by far is the pulled pork sandwich, I sell between sixty and seventy pounds of pulled pork a week.” Christoffersen is busy gearing up for Wendell’s Dairy Days starting this Thursday. “I’ve got some new items and flavors for people to try during Dairy Days”, said Christoffersen. For custom orders or catering, call 539-7211 or email sammiesdiner@outlook.com
Honoring our Veterans
On Memorial Day, the American Legion Post #19 placed an American Flag on each of 65 identified veterans buried in Camas County.
While this was a great way of honoring our veterans, the Legionnaires would like to do more. Plans are underway to purchase six-inch bronze markers to place on all of these graves. The bronze markers are held above the ground with a stake and the back of each one has a holder for a small flag.

The American Legion Post #19 is asking for donations to help cover the cost of about $45 per marker. Donations may be made at Valley Service or to the Memorial Fund at the U.S. Bank in Fairfield. If you have any questions please contact Ron Chapman, Commander, Post #19, at 208-764-2223.

Water Supply Update JUNE 6, 2014 – The water supply outlook for Snake River irrigators looks adequate according to the June Water Supply Outlook Report just released by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. However, there will be shortages for irrigators in central and southern Idaho. Most of May’s moisture came early and the area that needed it most – Central Idaho’s Big Wood, Little Wood and Big Lost basins – recorded a fraction of their normal May amounts. “The lack of snow and spring rains in the mid-elevations resulted in limited runoff and soil that is already drying out,” said Ron Abramovich, Water Supply Specialist with the Idaho Natural Resources Conservation Service. “Additional moisture during the spring snowmelt season would have benefited dryland farmers.” North Idaho received below average precipitation as well but with the above normal snowpack this winter, streamflow forecasts are at or above normal,” continued on page 10.....

The Courier News ~ 888-934-1862 June 11, 2014 June 14: Free Fishing Day in Idaho obit
Saturday June 14 is your chance to try fishing for the first time, or dust off your rod and put it back into use. It is Free Fishing Day in Idaho, and Fish and Game invites everyone to celebrate the day by fishing anywhere in Idaho without a license. Though fishing license requirements are suspended for this special day, all other rules, such as limits or tackle restrictions, remain in effect. Free fishing day includes salmon; anglers don’t need a license or salmon permit, but they are still subject to all bag and possession limits. Free fishing day provides a great opportunity for novices to give fishing a try. It is also a great opportunity for those who might want to pick up an old tradition. It is also a great opportunity for parents to introduce their children to the sport for the first time. For information on a location near you, contact your local Fish and Game office.

Serving with all Gentleness & Compassion...
Thanks to the Eddytor (editor) I guess I have been located within 20 miles of last week’s no-show column. Waldo is still missing and I hope they can find Rock. Signs are posted everywhere... “WATCH FOR ROCK”. I came home from work last week, kicked my shoes off, and got out pen and paper (don’t have a computer) to produce my weekly letter. The time was slightly after midnight. The radio was on and so was the lamp. They were both on at 6:00 a.m. when I was suppose to be at work. My tablet and pen were sitting on my lap in the chair. Funny thing, the paper was just as blank as it was before I fell asleep. No secret spider like Charlotte of Charlotte’s Web or the “cricket” of Archy and Mehitabel had written my story. Even a Chicken Soup for the Soul could have filled my empty “Cup of Tee.” Being already late, I missed getting my letter in for the week... my apologies. I had to race (without the oval track) to get back in the tractor for another day’s harvesting. That particular day I was pushing and rolling green chop hay. Too many trucks delivering to me to call in late for work. It is funny that I am older and I operate a tractor as part of my daily work, but as a kid, I never even had a toy tractor. Currently, I have several tractors of my own (mostly antique tractor puller types). We lived downhill from the John Deere dealership, nearby the International dealership, and I passed the Allis-Chalmer dealership on my way to school, and on my way back home. At the Allis-Chalmer dealership the toys were displayed in the front window about kid high. I thought it would be nice if I had one of those toys. The dealer’s front window display probably added sales to parents of whining kids. As an adult I have toy tractors that still never got to be played with. They are behind glass on a shelf (dusting was a pain). These tractors behind the glass look just like they did at the dealership except they are adult high. My friend’s wife blames me for giving my friend the tractor bug and collecting over 40 toy tractors. He gets me one for my birthday every year. Maybe he does this to get even with me for the continual space I need. I even gave my friend - past now - one for his 80th birthday. He was happy to have it and displayed it above his coffee maker. Regardless, if I have created a desire for toy tractors in others, I have come to the conclusion of a few things: They don’t require hundreds of dollars a day in fuel to operate; I don’t have to have a large barn to store them in; Maintenance is minimal. I don’t feel obligated to make them function properly; The climate in their room of storage is consistent, with no extreme cold, heat, or other weather; I don’t need to spend sixteen hours-a-day or more with them. I’m not asleep now because of tractors, but I had better quit dreaming and get back to work in the tractor. This is my “Cup of Tee” T for Tractor.

Highway Seal Coating in South-central Idaho
SHOSHONE – With the construction season well underway, seal coats are scheduled to begin throughout southcentral Idaho Monday (June 16). Drivers will encounter the work on Interstate 84 between Bliss and Wendell and between Twin Falls and Burley, U.S. 93 from the Nevada line to north of Rogerson and north of Idaho 25 in Jerome County, and on Idaho 75 north of Shoshone and south of Bellevue. Seal coats also will be applied to recently paved areas on U.S. 30 between Buhl and Filer, near Hansen, on Idaho 24 south of Rupert and on Interstate 86 from I-84 to the Raft River interchange. On two-lane sections of highway, the road will be reduced to one lane with a pilot car guiding motorists. Drivers should watch for flaggers throughout construction zones. In areas of four lanes or more, there will be alternating lane closures and flaggers controlling traffic in various locations. In all areas of work, a 35-mph speed limit will be in effect. Observing posted speed limits and increasing following distance will reduce the risk of windshield damage caused by loose gravel. Drivers are urged to use caution in all areas of seal coating. Most seal-coat operations will occur throughout the Magic Valley throughout the next three weeks, but the work could extend through the end of August in some areas. 2039 Main Street ~ Gooding

...Water Supply Update continued
said Abramovich. “The flows will provide excellent whitewater rafting opportunities.” Reservoir operators in southern Idaho are in the process of completing final fill while other reservoirs have peaked and are being drafted. Magic, Mackay and Salmon Falls Reservoirs are likely to run out of irrigation water in July. The natural lakes and reservoirs elsewhere in the state will fill or come close to filling and should provide adequate irrigation supplies. Carryover storage for next year will depend on summer temperatures and precipitation that affect irrigation water demand.
