News Stop the Presses
For the last 15 years we have been printing this newspaper ourselves with a small digital press. While this has not been without challenges, it has allowed us to save a considerable amount of time and money. Prior to our purchasing The Snowshoe from the Camas County School District in 1995, the newspaper was printed at 303 Printing in Gooding. 303 closed their doors about that same time and for our first six years of owning this publication, we drove to Burley to have the newspaper printed The folks at the Burley Reminder were friendly and helpful in making sure we published every week. However, the trip to Burley (from Fairfield) is 208 miles (round trip) and right at the beginning of the 21 century gas prices were very high. The cost of that weekly trip was making it hard to make ends meet. Then, in 2001, we purchased our current equipment from Peak Media and started printing in Fairfield. It saved a great deal of time and gave us more flexibility in covering news. It also provide a job for my son Lemuel who has been my pressman for the
last four years. Last week we sent Lemuel off to Boise State University, and oddly enough, our digital press decided it could not live without him. I have been able fix most of its breakdowns, but this time may be the last straw. Parts are on their way from various location across America, but they won’t be here until next week. So for now, this sheet of paper will have to suffice. If we are unable to publish next week, you now understand why.

charge called “Let’s Talk About It.” This program was made possible because of a grant Marypat Fields wrote and submitted with help from Marilyn Ballard and Sara Donkersloot. The theme of this reader’s group is Living in the Modern Rural West and there are five books (15 copies each) that can be read and discussed starting now and going into spring. One really great thing about this program is a scholar will come to lead a discussion group about each book. The first book is Hole in the Sky by William Kittredge and is available for check out at the library now. Also the library has a great display set up with information available for anyone that would like it. This program is sponsored by The Camas County Library partnering with The Camas Senior and Community Center and Camas Library Foundation. All are invited to be part of this group.
Two-thirds of fires fought by the Idaho Department of Lands (IDL) so far this year have been caused by people. With fire season still in full swing and windy conditions presenting challenges for fighting wildfires across the state, IDL fire managers are asking the public to be extra cautious when working or playing in the outdoors so they do not accidentally start a wildfire. IDL fire managers also urge the public to promptly report any smoke or suspected wildfires to 9-1-1 immediately so that fires can be put out quickly.
