In 1862, President Lincoln signed the Pacific Railway Act which brought to life the Transcontinental Railroad. The Pacific Railway Act also chartered a new railroad company - the Union Pacific. Union Pacific broke ground in Omaha in December 1863, but due to many delays, it was July 1865 before the first rails were laid, three months after President Lincoln's death. In celebration of their 150th anniversary, Union Pacific established the Train Town USA Registry to honor cities and towns across the West that represent their ongoing and historic connection with nearly 7300 communities. On Thursday, September 6, 2012, a very special passenger train arrived in Shoshone, Idaho, to promote the railroad safety program - Idaho Operation Lifesaver UPCARES. It was a great opportunity to present the City of Shoshone an official Train Town USA resolution signed by Union Pacific Chairman Jim Young. “We are proud to recognize Shoshone as we commemorate our railroad’s ses-

Train Town USA resolution to the Mayor of Shoshone. quicentennial celebration and growing up together,” said Dan Harbeke, Union Pacific director - Public Affairs for Idaho. “Our shared heritage with Shoshone is a source of pride as we remember our past while serving and connecting our nation for years to come.” The mayor of Shoshone, Dave Wendell, said most of the credit for bringing this honor to Shoshone belongs to Payson Reese and the Lincoln County Chamber of Commerce. After the ceremony, several dozen people of all ages boarded the train for short ride to Gooding and back.

Bob Bolton Memorial Car Show
Some of you have been waiting for the YouTube video of the Car Show that took place on August 25th. Two videos were just posted this week, and at least one more is coming. Goto “samacva” on YouTube, or google, Bob Barton Car Show.
from the Editor
I recently received an e-mail from a good friend of mine, Marshall Ralph, who was stuck in Madrid where he lost all his cash, credit cards, identification, and his cell phone. According to the e-mail, he was able to get an airplane ticket to come home, but the hotel wasn’t going to let him leave unless the bill was paid. Obviously, he needed my help. Now, for those of you who know Mr. Ralph, his presences in Madrid may come as a surprise to you, as it did to me. Especially since I had just seen him driving his car down main street the morning before. I would like to say that my generous heart responded by immediately wiring off money to rescue him from his distress, but... I didn’t, and what a fortunate thing for me. You see, much to my amazement, the e-mail was all a lie! To be truthful, the reason I was so hard-hearted, was because I have received e-mails like this before, and some of them have been very plausible. E-mail is a wonderful thing (generally speaking), but there are those who will take advantage our trusting nature if we give them a chance. I hate to say it, but some of our elderly are particularly vulnerable. Not because they are addlepated, but because they grew up in a time when trusting a person was the norm rather than the exception. I am happy to report that Mr. Ralph is now safely at home, though he apparently lost his camera in the whole affair and has no photos of his short time in Madrid.

Ann Bowler
Noreen Shipley High
Ann Bowler died peacefully at home on August 6th. Ann Marion Childs was born April 12, 1925 in Salisbury England where she lived and played on the River Avon. In 1941 she joined the Women’s Royal English Navy and was stationed at Bletchley Park where she took part in the top-secret effort to crack the German Enigma code. She was awarded a medal for her service. In 1942 she met Holden Bowler, a Captain in the American Army stationed near Salisbury. They were married and had their first child, Tim, before moving to the United States where they had 3 more children, Sarah, Tony and Belinda. Tim died in 1959. In 1973 Ann and Holden moved from Denver to Idaho where Holden and Tony built their home in the Hagerman Valley. During the construction, Ann fed a steady stream of helpers and guests delicious meals prepared on a camp stove. Over the next few years she created a spectacular flower garden. She was an artist, her flowers her palette in every season. Ann was a gracious hostess who made many an elaborate dinner party look effortless. She was a truly remarkable woman... except for that one thing. She had a lively sense of humor and was interested in finding out what people were thinking, often inviting controversy to spice things up. After Holden died in 2001, she was able to live in her home on the Snake River for nearly ten years. In 2010 she moved to Boise to live with Belinda and son-in-law, Andy Lawless. Ann's creed was kindness, and everyone she met was blessed by it. We can honor her life and create her legacy by finding daily opportunities to spread that ethos in our own lives and communities. Her family, Sarah and Paul Hansen and grandson Dane, Tony and Jane Howell and her grandchildren Tim and Marion, Belinda and Andy and friends will have a celebration of her long life in late September. The family would like to thank Dr. Michael Iseman, Dr. James Souza, St. Lukes Hospice, and the caregivers and friends who enhanced the quality of Ann’s life in her final days. “So long as we live, she too shall live, for she is now a part of us, as we remember her.”

Noreen Shipley High went to be with “Chuck” on Friday, September 7, 2012. She was born on April 5, 1937 in Shelley, Idaho, the second child of Charles A. Shipley and Leona M. (Betty) Shipley. She was raised in several southern Idaho communities, Shoshone, Glenns Ferry, Hagerman and Gooding. She was a 1955 graduate of Gooding High School. Noreen married Charles E. High on January 12, 1957 in South Gate, California. They lived a short period in Bell, California where Noreen was working as an Information Operator for the telephone company. Chuck was a truck driver by trade. They came back to Idaho and moved to Fairfield where their first two children arrived in 1958 and 1960. The family moved to Gooding and the births of two boys increased the family in 1964 and 1965. Noreen worked at most of the restaurants in Gooding through the late 1960’s in to the 1980’s. She then worked for the State of Idaho for 20 plus years in the food service department at I.S.D.B. In Gooding, retiring in 1999. Noreen and Chuck spent their next year doing some camping with family members when they could. They traveled with truck and camp trailer to Zions National Park and a memorable trip to see their friends, Jim and Ella Mae in Lone Pine, California. She was preceded in death by: her parents, Charles and Leona Shipley; sisters, Eleanor (John) Woods, Dawn (Jake) Jacobsen and Carol (Doug) Stanger; brother, Neil Shipley; sons, Jason Harvey High and Craig Eugene High; her husband, Charles “Chuck” High; daughter, Sandra Marie DeWitt; and grandson-in-law, Russell Graf.

309-1581 or 764-3432 While there may not always be a silver lining to every cloud, our long subjection to clouds of smoke did bring a perk to Camas County 2nd through 12th grade students. We were invited by the US Forest Service to tour the heli-base at the Pine turn off from Highway 20 and the Incident Command camp near Pine for the Trinity Ridge fire. This was an exceptionally rare opportunity to see the extent of resources and logistical wizardry required to safely wage a successful war on a large forest fire. We came away very impressed. Thank you so much to the US Forest Service for taking the time to enlighten us about your very important work. We appreciate what you do far more than we did before. Stay safe!

SCOTCH THISTLE

Part 2 or is it Part 3?
211 South Rail West ~ 886-2843
Part 2 or 3, I could talk about this plant all day. None of the conversation would be good however, so I better stick with the article. In my earlier articles about Scotch Thistle I recommended taking care of them early in the season. Now let’s talk about controlling them in the fall season. This time of year, the old stalks, hopefully treated, are poking up annoying you. Well you can simply cut those down or controlled burn them later in the season. But my point is, while doing that task, look down. There will be many rosettes of this plant all over the ground, near where those stalks were standing. A good treatment on these is the same as the plants that have bolted or grown a stalk. If there is less than 100 or so, just dig them up. If there is more than 100, treat them with a broadleaf herbicide. If you are not sure what the rosette of a Scotch Thistle looks like, “google” it or ask your Noxious Weed Control Superintendent for a positive identification. Till next time, Happy Trails

SCPHD Issues Crypto Warning
Board of the Camas County Commissioner Meetings Minutes of May 2012 Brief Synopsis
TWIN FALLS - Within the last ten days, the South Central Public Health District (SCPHD) has seen an increase in cases of cryptosporidiosis (crypto). Crypto is a parasite that can cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting, and fever. It can spread through swimming pools and other recreational water. Crypto cases have been reported in Gooding, Lincoln, and Twin Falls counties, but the disease appears to be widespread in the Magic Valley. Cryptosporidiosis, commonly known as ‘crypto,’ is usually spread by accidentally swallowing water that has been contaminated with human stool or animal waste. The most frequent symptom is watery diarrhea with abdominal cramping which can be accompanied by dehydration, weight loss, abdominal pain, fever, nausea, and vomiting. Once a person is infected, the parasites live in the intestines and are passed in the stool. In most instances, infected persons recover without medication. However, a healthcare provider may choose to use medication in cases that do not improve or when other medical issues exist. Infected persons can continue to spread the disease up to two weeks after diarrhea subsides, so they should avoid activities involving recreational waters. Because crypto can survive for days even in properly chlorinated pools, SCPHD is urging everyone to follow these seven steps to help reduce the spread of recreational water illnesses:

1.PLEASE don’t swim when you have diarrhea. This is especially important for kids in diapers. If you have been diagnosed with crypto, please stay out of swimming pools and recreational waters for at least two weeks after symptoms are gone. 2.PLEASE don’t swallow the pool water. In fact, avoid getting water in your mouth. 3.PLEASE practice good hygiene. Take a shower before swimming and wash your hands after using the toilet or changing diapers. Germs on your body end up in the water. 4.PLEASE take your kids on regular bathroom breaks or change diapers often (use swim diapers). Waiting to hear “I have to go” may mean that it’s too late. 5.PLEASE change diapers in a bathroom, not at the poolside. Germs can spread to surfaces around the pool and spread illness. 6.PLEASE wash your child thoroughly (especially the rear end) with soap and water before swimming. Everyone has invisible amounts of fecal matter on their bottoms that end up in the pool. 7. PLEASE don’t drink untreated water from streams, lakes, ponds, etc. For additional information about cryptosporidiosis, please visit the SCPHD website at: www.phd5.idaho.gov.
