Wildfire Idaho Fires Large & Small Resources
This last month has been a smoky one with large and small fires. Lightning storms were the main cause of nearly all of the current fires in Southern Idaho. Lincoln County was hit with three fires totaling almost 10,000 acres. The Millerd Fire, southeast of Shoshone, was the smallest at 700 acres. Seven miles southeast of Richfield, the Black Ridge fire blackened 1400 acres. The Brown Butte fire (along Highway 93 between Shoshone and Richfield) was human caused and took out over 7000 acres. All of these fires are out or fully contained. Camas County also had three fires, but shared the biggest one with Blaine County. The Beaver Creek is 95% contained at 112,000 acres. Fir Grove torched 7100 acres, while the McCan fire topped out at 24,000. In Elmore County the Elk Complex fire is 95% con-

tained, while the Pony Complex fire is 100% contained. Between these two fires, 280,000 acres of forest and rangeland were burned. The real damage, however, from the Elk and Pony fires, was the loss of nearly 90 structures, half of which were homes belonging friends and neighbors. The remaining structures that burned were outbuilding and travel trailers. A number of vehicles were lost as well.
North of the Pine/Featherville area, the town of Atlanta is under mandatory evacuation from the Little Queens fire which continues to grow. Five miles of control line have been established north and west of Atlanta to protect the town from this 24,000 plus acre fire which at 15% containment.

by Allen Morris Jones
I ranched for twenty years, so nobody is going to pull the wool over my eyes. Yippee ki-yay and so on and so forth. The authenticity in this tale set in the 1920’s in Wyoming is dead on. And let’s face it, cowboys never did kiss their horses and ride off into the sunset, so no stereotypes ruin this fine story set on a ranch, but at a time when cars were popping and chugging along side horses. This slim volume of elegant writing has it all - Protagonist, antagonist – it’s hard to say who is which, but one thing’s for sure; there’s plenty of agony to go around, different generations, even different species, it’s a whole book full of agony. Any woman who ever loved a cowboy will get that old familiar feeling of wanting to kick this guy’s butt. I could forgive most of her dumb moves – after all, she’s only seventeen which is that dangerous age when girls know it all. Most of us just regret those mini-skirts or make-out sessions in the backseat, but this girl’s got some whoppers to swallow the rest of her life. See how involved I am in those fictional lives? That’s the mark of a good author and Mr. Jones is exactly that. I even forgive him for not using dialogue quotations, constantly fragmenting sentences and making his hero so flawed as to be the prototype of all of my ex-husbands. It’s a great read.

Senator Stennett Selected for 2013 Western Legislative Academy
The Council of State Governments-WEST (CSG-WEST), a non-partisan, non-profit organization serving state legislators in 13 Western states, has selected Idaho State Senator Michelle Stennett as a participant in its prestigious training institute for lawmakers in their first four years of service. The purpose of the Western Legislative Academy is to foster excellence and effectiveness in state lawmakers in the Western region. Admission to the Western Legislative Academy is very competitive and based on a commitment to public service, a desire to improve personal legislative effectiveness and an interest in improving the overall legislative process. Of the 114 applicants from throughout the West, only 39 legislators were chosen to be members of the Western Legislative Academy’s Class of 2013. The Western Legislative Academy will convene November 1316, 2013 in Colorado Springs, Colorado for three and a half days of intensive training in subjects including legislative institutions, ethics, communications, negotiations, time management and leadership. Faculty is drawn from academia, retired military and the private sector. A highlight of the training is an afternoon at the US Air Force Academy working on personal assessments and team building. Senator Stennett is serving her second term in the Idaho State Senate representing District 26 which encompasses Blaine, Camas, Gooding and Lincoln Counties. After only one term in office, Senator Stennett was elected to her current leadership position as Senate Minority Leader. She serves on the Senate’s State Affairs and Resources & Environment Committees as well as several interim committees. Funding for the Academy comes from the Colorado Springsbased El Pomar Foundation, which is dedicated to excellence in non-profit organizations, and from Western state legislatures and corporate sponsors. The El Pomar Foundation also donates their campus for the Western Legislative Academy

Last weekend I was in Kuna, Idaho, and my cellular phone was dead. I looked for a pay phone (coin operated) in which to place a phone call. To my surprise, none were to be found. Technology is advancing very fast. The once abundant pay phones are leaving the scene, similar to the old phone booths. In case you are a younger reader, a phone booth was an enclosed structure in which you could sit or stand to make a pay phone call. In the phone booth would be a ledge to hold your coins, a phone book, and a telephone. (Please deposit $2 for the next three minutes.) On April 6, 1875, Alexander Gramham Bell received a patent for the telephone. On January 20, 1876, he was extended the right to make and sell telephones. His company was the American Telegraph and Telephone Company (AT&T). Bell Systems, was the phone part of the equation with Western Electric Company supplying the power. The first public phone was in Berlin, Germany, in 1881. By 1889 public phones were in place with an attendant to collect the phone fare. In 1898 William Gray put out the first phone booths that didn’t require an attendant to collect fees. The first one was at the Hartford Bank in Hartford, Connecticut. By 1902 there were 81,000 pay phones in the United States. These were located in restaurants, grocery stores, and hotels, the hubs of public gathering. Early phone booths were made of wood. Later they were made of aluminum (recycled material). Glass doors were added in 1950. At same, time women telephone stockholders were two to one to men. This may of come about due to the large amount of women on the homefront and that WWII took great demands on communication. 1957 allowed you to drive up to a telephone in your car instead of getting out for a phone booth. In 1964 the Treasury Department and the phone system worked together as the metallic composition of coins was changed (last year of pure silver coins). In 1984 the Bell System of twenty districts nation wide was disbanded. So, what caused the disappearance of the phone booths across the country? By 1970 the United States government was pushing for more handicap accessible phones. There became more and more Kias type phones (phones on pedestals or walls). With the breakup of “Ma Bell” more phone companies placed more pay phones without the expense and maintenance of a booth. Vandalism got higher and higher. Drunks used the phone booths for restrooms, and the homeless began to use them as shelters. The biggest answer is the widespread use of cellphones that could be used anywhere under your own cover. With cellphone use, lines such as the following were not used: “Please deposit an additional dollar. You must first dial a ‘one’ before this long distance number. For information you must deposit $2. Your
August 28, 2013
number did not go through, please hang up and try again.” If you watched “Get Smart” on TV, Maxwell Smart would use a phone booth OPERATOR... to drop into the ANOTHER 75¢ secret office. SuIN THE PHONE perman and UnBOOTH FOR MY derdog of super “CUP OF TEE” ?? hero fame would use the booth for changing costumes. If you were a time traveler, you saw Dr. Who transport via the booth.

If a household member does not have income, the no income box must be checked. An adult signature is required along with the last 4 digits of the adult’s social security number.

Students who are homeless, runaway or migrant are also eligible for benefits. Household members do not have to be US citizens for students to qualify for benefits.
