News 2018 Camas County Fair
Traveling entertainment such as the circus, vaudeville, and magic lantern shows, have been around for hundreds of years. In 1893, the Chicago World’s Fair sparked something new - the traveling carnival. Between 1900 and 1940, traveling carnivals grew in number from about a dozen to over 300. Today, there are less than 200, with most of them owned by a handful of companies. This year the Camas County Fair Board (thanks to generous donations) has brought in new carnival rides that will appeal to all ages. This Thursday night, the carnival is free. Right after the Bike Parade at 5:45, head on over to the city park. After the rides shut down at 9 p.m., stick around for an extra special FAMILY MOVIE UNDER THE STARS! Movie starts Bring your ‘movie’ chairs and a little spare change to buy popcorn. Friday morning at 9 a.m. the 4-H Dog Show will take place at the city park, and at 10 a.m. the Legion Baseball field will host the 4-H Archery Contest. At 6 p.m. bring your appetite to the city park for the Community Potluck Picnic (bring a main dish, salad, or dessert... and your own utensils, lawn chairs, etc.). After the picnic, sit back and enjoy entertainment including the Cow Chip Toss! This Saturday, August 4th, the city park will be the temporary home for this year’s 4-H Livestock projects. Animal shows start at 8:00 and the Livestock Sale will be at 2:00 p.m. At 12:30, bring your organization, class reunion, businesses, and antique vehicles to the parade line-up at the football field (west side of Fairfield), and join this year’s Grand Marshals - Ron and Doloris Chapman (photo with their new great-grand child - Hunter) The Chapmans came to Fairfield in 1997 and took over Valley Service (east Garnet Street). Since then, they have become an indispensable part of the community, serving with the American Legion Post 19, the Museum board, and Ron was a County Commissioner for 14 years. On Saturday evening be downtown for the Main Street Bull Riding (6:00 p.m.) followed by the Street Dance starting at 9:00. Sunday at 10:30 is Church in the Park with Pastor Nick Tracy and special music. After church, enjoy western music with the Rocky Mountain Riders from Bliss.

Health Advisory For
Mormon Reservoir & Salmon Falls Creek Reservoir
The South Central Public Health District (SCPHD) and the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) are issuing a public health advisory today for both Mormon Reservoir and Salmon Falls Creek Reservoir. The DEQ said results from water testing on July 23rd show levels of a micro-toxin, Microcystin, are now at unhealthy levels because of a recent harmful algal bloom (HAB) in both reservoirs. The public is advised to take the following precautions: *Avoid exposure to water in reservoirs experiencing a HAB. *Take extra care that children, pets, and livestock are not exposed to the water. *Do not consume water with a blue-green algae bloom. Neither boiling nor disinfecting removes blue-green algae toxins from water. *If fish have been exposed to a blue-green algae bloom only consume the fillet portion (remove the fat, organs, and skin). Wash hands after handling. The risk associated with consuming fish caught in waters with a blue-green algae bloom is unknown. SCPHD Public Health Program Manager Josh Jensen said, “Children and pets are particularly susceptible. Exposure to the toxins produced by cyanobacterial HABs may result in lifethreatening liver damage, neurological problems such as muscle spasms, decreased movement, labored breathing, convulsions, and possible death.” DEQ will continue to monitor water quality until the bloom dissipates and will advise the public when the concern no longer exists. “We rely heavily on the public to report suspicious looking water bodies to us and we respond by investigating the water body,” said Kiley Mulholland, DEQ Regional Water Quality Manager. “The BloomWatch app (available for IOS and Android) is a great tool that anyone can use to report the location of a potential bloom, take photos that we can use as a screening tool, and upload the data and photos to a citizen science database that emails DEQ with an alert.” More information is available at phd5.idaho.gov/AlgalBlooms and www.deq.idaho.gov

Houndstongue:
Not man’s best friend, but it will ‘stick’ with you.
by the Camas Bug Crew
One day Kylie went on a hike with her dog Fluffy. It was a beautiful day and Kylie got distracted by a butterfly, Fluffy ran up the trail. When Kylie finally caught up to him, Fluffy was covered in velcro like burs. Houndstongue is a biennial or short-lived perennial which reproduces by barbed seeds that easily adhere to fur, hair, and wool. The first year, the plant develops a rosette with hairy, linear leaves that range from 10-30 cm in length. Plants typically grow to form 35-140 cm tall the second year. The reddish-purple, 5lobed flowers bloom June through August. Each plant produces an average of 500 seeds which are composed of four prickly nutlets, each approximately 1 cm in length. Houndstongue ability to spread has created serious problems on rangeland and pastures where the plant quickly colonizes disturbed sies and heavily grazed areas in riparian zones. Houndstongue contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids, making it poisonous to livestock and horses. The mogulones borraginis, a seed-feeding weevil is one of the newer bugs that the Bug Crew will be working with to kill houndstongue. Kylee spent a half an hour picking the houndstongue burs out of her dog to make sure no seeds followed her home. Afterwards she contacted the Bug Crew about the situation. A few years after the Bug Crew released the Mogulones borraginis the Houndstongue disappeared and Kylee and Fluffy could hike without having to worry about getting seeds caught in their clothes or fur. If you think you have a houndstongue problem or have had a similar experience contact Terry Lee at 208-764-3512.

Joyce Charlene Scanlon
Joyce Charlene (Herrick) Scanlon, 88, of Nampa, Idaho and formerly of Gooding, died July 18, 2018 at her residence. Joyce was born Sept. 14, 1929, in Ogden, Weber County, Utah to George Wright Herrick and Eliza Ann Stone. Her childhood was spent mainly in the Ogden area and she often told stories of visiting family in Star Valley, Wyoming, and Thayne, Idaho. As she completed high school, she worked for a time in Sun Valley Idaho and then followed her parents who had moved to Gooding, Idaho. It was here, while she was working night shifts as a telephone operator, that she had a blind date with a young man from the area, Claude Scanlon. The two enjoyed mixed dating with their friends in town, and as each paired up and were married, it only seemed natural that these two also would wed. They married on August 11, 1949 in her parent’s house on Colorado Street. The new family lived for a time in Jerome and Ketchum until finally settling back in Gooding, where Claude ran his own petroleum delivery company for the next 25 years. Joyce was active in the PTA, a local bridge group, her LDS Ward and spent much of her time embroidering and producing many hand-made items for friends and family. Her work often won ribbons in the Gooding County Fair. She also worked for a time in the Gooding County Treasurer’s Office, was Planning and Zoning Administrator and served on the hospital board for years. Joyce was preceded in death by her husband; her parents; two sisters, Norma Georgene Gray and Sybil Barton Clays; as well as a brother, Gerald Dee Herrick; a grandson, Matthew Lynn Scanlon; and a granddaughter, Janae Scanlon. She is survived by three sons, Owen Wright Scanlon (Hailey, Idaho), Rory Rahn Scanlon (American Fork, Utah) and James Claude Scanlon (Boise, Idaho); and one daughter, Cheryl Anne Case (Nampa, Idaho); also surviving are 16 grandchildren; and 33 great-grandchildren. Funeral services were held on Monday, July 23, 2018, at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Gooding. Burial followed at Elmwood Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions to a favorite charity or the North Canyon Medical Center in Gooding (ncm-c.org).
Ada Carlene Hansen Hollibaugh
Ada Carlene Hansen Hollibaugh, 79, passed away peacefully on June 30, 2018. She was a dearly loved and loving wife, mother, grandmother, auntie, sister, and cousin. We know she was welcomed with open arms, hugs, and laughter by those who were waiting for her. Carlene was born on January 12, 1939, in Jerome to Darrell Reed and Myrtle Mulliner Hansen, the youngest of five (older siblings Darrell Jr., Clifford, Irene, and Vivian). She grew up in Shoshone. She met Ladd Charles Hollibaugh, the love of her life, in the fall of 1954. They were married in Shoshone on June 14, 1955, and recently celebrated 63 years of love and life together. They began their married life in Shoshone. After the birth of their first child, Cindy, they moved to Seattle, WA, where Ladd worked at Boeing on military aircraft wings. They moved back to Shoshone in early 1958, and had Ladd Jr. that March. They then moved to Dietrich, where they lived for many years and had three more children, Nellie, Mike, and Shellie. In 1969, they moved to Twin Falls, where they finished raising their family and lived for many years. They returned to Shoshone to Carlene’s childhood home in 2000, where they have lived since. She was a Cub Scout and 4H leader, and a Primary teacher. She had a beautiful singing voice, and taught her kids every nursery rhyme and silly song there was. She enjoyed hunting, fishing, and camping with family. Carlene was very artistic and loved to create items for her family. She was a master at crochet, and all of her children and grandchildren have afghans she made for them. She was a talented seamstress who made clothing for her family and Barbie wardrobes for her grandchildren. She made leather work look easy. In the 1970s, Carlene sold and designed with TriChem. She made artistic jewelry boxes and containers, both tole painted and shell-covered. She was a talented woodcarver, ceramic painter, and copper worker. She was a rock hound and liked to make jewelry. She enjoyed the games of Double Solitaire and Scrabble, and was a fierce competitor. Carlene is survived by her loving, adoring husband, Ladd, of Shoshone; five children: Cynthia “Cindy” (Gene) Eller, Shoshone; Ladd Hollibaugh, Jr., Jerome; Nellie Laley, Shoshone; Mike (Bobbie) Hollibaugh, Jerome; and Shellie (Royden) Eaton, Jerome; 13 grandchildren: Amanda Eller, Shoshone; Jami Eller Jones, Shoshone; Joshua Eller, Shoshone; Miranda (Russ) Weston, Ely, NV; Allysan (Rob) Baker, Twin Falls; Ladd Charles “Chase” Hollibaugh III, Jerome; Sarah (Mike) Kretchman, Shoshone; Bailey (Boede) Evans, Bruneau; Jennifer (Ben) Koch, Pocatello; Jered (Julie) Hollibaugh, Wendover, NV; JT Kidd, Boise; Shara (Shane) Roberts, Idaho Falls; and Liz (JW) Kirkham, Cleveland, TX; 23 great-grandchildren; her oldest brother, Dorrell Reed (Clara) Hansen, Jr., Boise; and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins. Carlene was preceded in death by her parents; her brother Clifford (Dixie) Hansen; sisters Irene (Max) Moore and Vivian (Alvis) Pennington; son-in-law Jed Laley; as well as dearly loved brothers- and sisters-in-law, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. A graveside service was held at the Shoshone Cemetery on Saturday, July 7, 2018. In lieu of flowers, please share your memories.

Robert P. Gaskill
Mary Kay Braga
10/31/1923 ~ 07/27/2017
Robert Gaskill passed away at the “Ancient Age” of 94 years young. He was born on October 31, 1923 in Fairfield, Idaho, on the family farm to Perry and Florence Gaskill. One of seven children, he was raised on the Camas Prairie. He graduated from Camas County High School and then he served in the Civilian Conservation Core until enlisting in the United States Army where “Sergeant Smiley” served in the European, North African, Italian and Pacific Theaters during World War II. As Robert said while entering the Pacific Theater, the Japanese surrendered because they heard he was coming. After returning from the war he met Darlene Dains and they were married in September of 1950. They had four children; Bob (Sheryl), Lytle (etc.), Jay (Lori) and Shirley (William Bingham). He farmed on the Camas Prairie and then held various jobs in Gooding, Idaho until joining the Idaho Transportation Department where he retired after thirty years. After retiring he and Darlene purchased the Eagle’s Nest Bar & Grill. Darlene passed away in 2011 and Robert continued to be an important part of the Eagle’s Nest until his death. He was the patriarch of not only his family, but also the early morning coffee crowd at the Nest. He was preceded in death by his wife Darlene, his son Bob and his six siblings. He is survived by his children, who as he said “Weren’t raised, they just grew up,” a slew of grandchildren, great grandchildren and one great, great grandchild. He will forever have his place at the Nest and in the hearts of everyone he touched. There will be a graveside service at the Shoshone Cemetery on Saturday, August 4th at 11 a.m. with a wake at the Eagle’s Nest in Dietrich to follow. Please bring your memories, stories to share and we will toast to Robert.

Mary Kay Braga was born September 16, 1954 in Oregon City, Oregon and passed away at her home on Saturday, July 21, 2018 at the age of 63. She is survived by her husband, John Braga, her mother, Ellen Trader (Leroy), her brother Dan Burnum (Rowena) and many nieces, nephews and grandchildren. She spent most of her life in Idaho and did spend a few years working in Antarctica at McMurdo Station. She was a giving and generous person and was very good about remembering birthdays. She always included her critters and would sign her cards “Mary Kay, John and Critters”. She had an amazing love of and connection with animals. She has been quoted as saying, “If I won the lottery, I would purchase a huge area to take in all the orphaned or abused animals in the world, keep them happy, safe and healthy-and share them with folk who would be happy to have them as well.” In her younger years she enjoyed playing cards, hiking, camping and just spending time with family and friends. She was a free spirit and loved the outdoors and her “critters”. She was a great person and the world is a better place because of her. She was loved by so many and will be sorely missed. In lieu of flowers, please make a contribution to the Humane Society. A celebration of Mary Kay’s life was held on Saturday, July 28th under the shelter at the East Park (by the swimming pool) in Gooding.

Cup of Tee
A few questions have come to my mind. For instance, where does bread come from? or maybe, where does hamburger, eggs, tomatoes, corn or even pizza come from? I think most all these items come from the store. I can’t be sure where they come from before the store gets them. Maybe they come from boxes or cans or laboratories. Yesterday, a crew and myself were hauling manure onto a straw field. The grain (probably wheat) had dried and was combined off its stem (straw). The ground would be worked up after the manure had been spread. With our trucks rolling in and out of the field, the dirt in the field exhibited a lot of dust. We had already covered the field once and the owner wanted us to cover it again. The ground needed more manure to help the ground and for future crops. As we pulled out of the field on each run, the wind would carry some of the dust southward. It wasn’t long before our boss had a

phone call and said the owners didn’t want us to go out the bottom of the field because it was causing dust for some neighbors who called about it. We now had to go all the way back to the top of the field and across it. This started our top to get dusty. To cure the dust issue on the bottom we spread manure over the bottom. As we drove through the manure each round, the dirt became less dusty. But, for some reason, that did not satisfy the neighbors. We were sent to another field east of the complaining neighbor. Like clockwork, Mother Nature turned the direction of the wind around and this time it was blowing West from the East. The same people got the dust, but only from a different direction. I am a little lost about the original complaint. Did someone move here from some non-agricultural area to ag-land? Did they expect subdivision rules for the country? What did they expect for their view? Did they expect all the aspects of farming around them going to push off on their neighbors only?

This state is an agricultural state! That is how we make a living for ourselves and thousands of other like the complainers. I don’t actually know if the farmer will get the nutrient action he needs to do a better crop or to be a good steward of his property right now. Maybe everything should be done with pesticides and chemicals to try and grow something. Maybe when coming to Idaho one should realize what we do here. If it is a problem, maybe a subdivision in another state is the answer or pulling shutters closed across their windows. Maybe Idaho people should realize what we used to do here and not sell our state and ourselves short. My life isn’t ruined because I think bread comes in a bag and milk in a can. But wait... the wind has changed directions; this is my “Cup of Tee” dust sifted.
