Buhl Mayor Pam McClain

Buhl has six candidates running for two council positions in November. At the time I am writing this, the Buhl Chamber of Commerce will host a candidate forum sometime in October. Buhl City Council members make important decisions on ordinances, budgetary items and land use. Every vote matters and getting to know the candidates is an important step ahead of the November 7 election. Please watch social media for the date and time. In the meantime, you can visit the Twin Falls County site for the candidate filing list: https://twinfallscounty.org/election/candidate-filing-list/.

[Ed: please review Front Cover for the list of candidates running for contested election in Buhl.] There is also a contested Buhl Joint School District Trustee race in Zone 4. You can visit the county site for the candidate filing list on this also.

I am one of several mayors participating in the Mayor’s Walking Challenge, a program of the Blue Cross of Idaho Foundation for Health that promotes the importance of physical activity. The challenge begins October 1. I have been in contact with the Buhl Joint School District Superintendent, Angie Oparnico, to arrange dates to walk with students at Popplewell Elementary during the month on our new 2.1 mile walking path. Idaho mayors can earn up to $1,000 for their efforts and have two chances to earn funds for their communities. Mayors can:

♦ Walk an average of 5,000 steps a day during October to earn $500 for their community

♦ Walk on average of 10,000 steps a day during October to earn $1,000 for their community

The Mayor’s Walking Challenge gives every mayor in Idaho the opportunity to get moving and earn funds for their community — all while setting a great example by being physically active. This is Year 10 of the Mayor’s Walking Challenge. The annual event has grown from a small event in 2014, when a small number of mayors in the Treasure Valley walked, to nearly 100 mayors across all of Idaho last year. As the challenge has grown, so has its impact. Wednesday - Saturday 10 - 4

High crossed T-bars reveal confidence, high self-esteem and a getthe-job done attitude. This is the key to success and peace of mind.

Low and short t-bars reveal the opposite: low self-esteem, insecure, afraid of failure.

But, consistently raising your Tbars and making them longer, will give you more confidence. So give it a whirl.

T-bars to the left of the stem ( t ) denotes procrastination.

WENDELL ORGANIZATIONS DIRECTORY Sponsored by Magic Valley News

Growing up in Hagerman Valley by

Lora L Lewis (copyright)

Sponsored by Magic Valley News (continued from September)

Lucas Sorrosua was born in 1897. As a Basque Immigrant he came to this country looking to work hard and find a way to help his family back in Spain. He ended up on our grandfather’s ranch south/east of Hagerman working in the sheep industry.

Later, Lucas sponsored his nephew, Javier (Jay) Sorrosua who followed him to the ranch. Jay stayed devoted, working on the family farm the rest of his life. Jay was strong, smart, happy, intuitive, unique and a good natured human being. He’s irreplaceable and missed by many in Hagerman, Gooding County and beyond!

I also remember Lucas well, back to the age of four to seven. It wasn’t so much the way he looked, as it was his kind disposition. Mom let me run out to greet him every time I saw his water truck pull up to the ranch gas pumps, which were near our farmhouse.

Speaking in broken English he asked me simple questions about my day. When I answered him, he nodded slowly and thoughtfully replied, “Ohhh, Ohhh”, like I had said something really important. His gentle smile made me feel accepted and secure in those few special moments.

Each encounter I had with Lucas Sorrosua amounted to about as much time as it took to fill the water truck with gas. He sometimes lit-up, as he stepped away from the gas pumps. I was intrigued, as no one in my immediate family smoked.

I observed Lucas rolling his own cigarettes with small thin white paper. He sprinkled a line of Bull Durham Tobacco pinched from a little square tobacco tin. I can still smell the tobacco from memory, both sweet and dusty. I was told recently by my older brother that Lucas’s pockets often became worn- out from the tins of tobacco they held. Workpants had to last, so those pockets were re-sewn or replaced often by his caring wife.

Even as a little child, I noticed that he wore his pants way too big! It always looked like they were going to fall off! They were held up around his hips by a well-worn brown

leather belt. He wore a 1950’s men’s cream colored hat, for work, tilted slightly to the side. There was no doubt that he was a traditional hardworking Basque gentleman. He and his wife lived in a home, gifted from Grandpa, located by Justice Grade, just north of Hagerman.

In the summer, Lucas worked at the Stanley camp and surrounding areas, where the sheep grazed. Of his own choice, he slept in an aged storage building at the mountain camp using a sleeping bag on an old army coat. The building had a visibly worn out roof. During the day, the sun shined through the roof and at night stars were visible from where he lay. When asked about rain, he replied, “No Problem!” as he held up an irrigation tarp that he slept under during a night’s rainstorm.

In those days, drivers didn’t have four-wheel drives. Lucas always kept chains around the rear tires of his pickup and a shovel in the back to dig himself out, if he were to ever get stuck. He was well prepared!

Lucas got along well with all the other sheepmen. He told many stories. Even though I couldn’t understand them, I noticed he could easily hold the attention of the others. He enjoyed having a good time whether he was working with the sheep, sharing a meal at the cookhouse or an after hours leisure time when men stand around, visit and hold the end of a long piece of wheat in their mouths. Being one of the originals on the ranch, from the Basque country, he was well-respected.

Lucas was dependable taking care of the sheep, devoted to Grandfather and advanced to foreman. Lucus put himself on 247 duty at the ranch. There was one of many stories from my older brother, John, who shared about a sun-visor that came loose in the truck Lucas was driving in the desert. Lucas picked it up, looked it over and said, “I never use this thing anyway!” tossing it out the window!

One day in October 1962, Lucas wasn't feeling well, his right

arm hurt badly and he had chest pains. He insisted on working anyway. There was a place at the Shoshone water storage tower where trucks loaded water for their livestock. He had just been there and hauled water to the sheep outside of Shoshone, also delivering groceries to the men and had lunch with them. Had Grandpa known Lucas felt sick he would have told him not to go to work. Papa learned about it after the fact. Even though Lucas felt unwell he drove the truck all day and back down Ritchie Road, toward the top of Vader Grade. Stan Penfold happened to be driving behind him, in his school bus. Stan observed the water truck going about twenty miles an hour in front of him, weaving back and forth across the road. His bus couldn’t pass. Next thing he witnessed was the water truck veering off to the left, rolling over into the corner field.

When Lucas didn't show up at the gas pumps that day, someone came to the house to give the sad news to Grandpa (Papa) who responded with, “Oh, my Lord!” He walked out of the house and up the dirt road to what we called ‘the corner’. He sat down by the ditch bank and stayed there for a very long time. He and Lucas had not only worked together for many years, but he was a long time trusted friend.

Mom and dad were quietly discussing matters in the other room. I was confused by

the discussions of Lucas, so I went out to the edge of the lawn gazing across the far away pasture, waiting for any sign of the water truck to round the bend by Tate’s house. Every day after that for some time, I stood at the edge of the lawn watching for his truck to come. If I waited, he’d come, I thought. “Where’s my friend?” I missed him!

However, Lucas’s life on this earth was over in an instant. I don’t suppose anyone realized I looked up to him so much! In those days everyone was busy doing chores inside or working on the farm. How would they notice?! Children were protected by ‘not talking about it’. It was no one’s fault. Everyone was dealing with their own emotions and I was young. Adults assumed children didn’t need to deal with grown-up stuff, so I really didn’t know all the details until years later.

Lucas was a special person and was missed by so many. His kindness in valuing my words, during those small moments at the gas pumps, had a life-long impact on me. Never underestimate the power of a word of interest in the life of a child. To this day the memory of his short presence in my life brings me happy thoughts, smiles and gratitude. He is not forgotten!

Both Lucas and Jay Sorrosua are remembered and appreciated!
