Buhl Mayor Pam McClain

People sometimes view toilets as a substitute trash can. Citizens think it is an easy way to dump all kinds of items and make them disappear. Out of sight, out of mind. Surprisingly, not everyone knows what seemingly harmless items don’t belong in the toilet. Believe me when I say this, I have seen items at the Buhl Wastewater Treatment Facility and also in pictures shared with me by personnel. Everyone but a twoyear old knows what not to flush, or do we?

It’s time to take responsibility for using toilets as they were intended.We have had a rash of clogged sewer pipes recently in the City of Buhl, so I thought this is the article would be timely. And again, I’ve seen the pictures. Something I cannot easily erase from my brain.

WHAT ITEMS YOU SHOULD NEVER FLUSH DOWN A TOILET:

• We have all heard about feminine hygiene products – ALL OF THEM = NEVER

• Food of any type

• Dental floss or any instrument to pick food out of your teeth

• Facial tissue/Kleenex

• Paper towels

• Wet wipes (makeup remover wipes), baby wipes, Clorox wipes, Lysol wipes or the like – NEVER, EVEN IF IT SAYS FLUSHABLE ON THE CONTAINER/PACKAGE

• Pills, illegal drugs and prescription medication

• Condoms

• Chewing gum

• Cat litter and cat waste

• Bleach

• Cigarettes

• Band-aids

• Cosmetics

• Anything made of cotton, including cotton balls and Q-Tips

• Hair

• Paper

• Disposable diapers (nor should you leave these on the street)

• Cooking grease/oil

• Goldfish or any type of fish or critter

• Paint and anything related

• Rags of any type (yes, they have made their way to the treatment facility)

WHAT ITEMS YOU SHOULD ALWAYS FLUSH DOWN A TOILET:

• Human waste

• Toilet paper

After I wrote this article, The Times-News printed what problems Twin Falls is having. This is not unique to any town. Using a toilet for any other purpose than the two above can not only damage your plumbing and cost you thousands of dollars, it can also damage equipment at our wastewater treatment plant. FLUSH SMART.

Growing up in Hagerman Valley

by Lora L Lewis (copyright)

(Con’t from January).

Space donated by Magic Valley News

John William Jones, known as Johnny, was born in Southern Wales in 1886. While living in Wales, at age twelve, he worked as a stable boy for a local lawyer. At around fourteen years of age, he delivered milk on the streets of London. He had an amazing singing voice and made time to sing in a Welsh Boys’ Choir at St. Paul’s Cathedral. When the time was right, at about age sixteen, Johnny crossed the Atlantic to the United States of America, to start his new life. Johnny found his Uncle Thomas Jones in a mining area in Northern Idaho. The family story is that Johnny took the job to hold spikes for miners to chisel out holes in rock for blasting dynamite.

After several months, Johnny journeyed down to Southern Idaho to Hagerman Valley where his Uncle Dan was located. Jay Farmer was lambing his sheep operation on Dan Jones’s property. There, young Johnny Jones worked as a night watchman overseeing one band of (2,000) sheep. After a while, Johnny talked his boss into being the camp tender for two bands (4,000) sheep. When the opportunity arose, he attended a one room schoolhouse to continue his education.

Being an astute businessman, he went into partnership with his boss and later bought out the entire sheep operation. It grew to several thousand more sheep. Johnny ran the business on his Uncle Dan’s ranch. He continued working alongside many great Basque sheepherders, who he employed. When his Uncle Dan passed away, Johnny and his sister Mary Ann inherited the property. Johnny bought out his sister’s part of the inheritance, taking on the entire Dan Jones Ranch in Hagerman Valley, which is on the north side of Vader Grade. One-hundred and thirty years later, it is still family owned.

In the meantime, Ethel Hulda Justice, born in 1896 and one of five siblings, was living in the Justice house below the Justice Grade, where the family had homesteaded. Her parents were William and Willa Justice. Ethel, who had long brown hair she could sit on, was in the original class in Hagerman Valley, going all the way through from first to twelfth grade. She also proudly belonged to the first Hagerman High School Graduating Class of 1914. (con’t p 26)

HAGERMAN FIRE DISTRICT

By Tim Peterson, Fire Chief

Hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday season. We saw a slight drop in total call volume for 2022 from 2021. There were 378 total calls for service that the Fire and EMS Divisions responded to for the year 2022, the only notable increase in fire responses was for Brush Fires. We did see a small decrease in calls in the EMS Division, this could be due to COVID being on the retreat.

As many of you remember we were awarded a grant in 2021 for the purchase of two new fire engines, but with the supply chain issues that have been part of the post COVID environment we still have not received either piece of apparatus nor have we been given a delivery date for either piece of apparatus. We are keeping our fingers crossed and hope to hear some positive news regarding the engines in the coming months.

We are moving ahead with offering a EMR (Emergency Medical Responder) class beginning in February of 2023, an informational meeting will be held at the fire station on January 23. We are in great need of new EMT and EMR certified personnel, many of our current staff are 30 year providers and retirement is real possibility in the near future for these responders.

We will be sending 7 or 8 firefighters to the Southern Idaho Fire Academy in the MiniCassia area on 17th thru 19 of February to

receive a wide variety of fire training, it is good to have this academy back in full swing again, there was a two year hiatus during the COVID years. This training academy has been a mainstay of firefighter training in Southern Idaho for 20 plus years.

We also will be putting on the Annual Chili Cook Off, this will be back as a live event. We had to forgo the live event for the past three years due to COVID. This event will be held at the American Legion Hall on February 25 at 6:00 pm. There is no charge to enter your Chili, if you are interested in making a Chili entry please have you Chili at the Legion Hall no later than 5:00 pm. Admission to the event will be a cash donation of your choosing. Once the judges have completed the judging of the entries everyone will be able to eat at 6:00pm. We will be having a gun raffle as we always have, this year there will be a Glock 48 handgun and a Ruger American 308 rifle. Tickets for the gun raffle will be $20 per card, there will only be 52 cards sold and you must be present to win. Along with the Chili there will be toppings, baked potatoes, corn bread, and some desert. For information you can contact Tim Peterson: 208 539 6546, or LuAnne Coates: 208 539 4740.

This is a great family friendly community event, please come out and support our volunteer firefighters and EMT’s.

Again we are always looking for volunteer firefighters and EMT’s if interested come by the station or phone: 208 837 4552.

FEBRUARY

Growing up in Hagerman Valley

That fall, Ethel attended the Albion Normal School for Teachers. After graduating she taught at Clover Creek School. Later, when Johnny and Ethel met, she became the apple of his eye and love of his life. Johnny and Ethel (our future grandparents) were married in the early 1920’s had two children. Florence Mary, born in 1923, was named after her two aunts and John W. Jones Jr., born in 1926, was named after his father. Family and friends called him Bill.

The family spent their winters in Hagerman during lambing season and summers in the Stanley Basin Area, where the sheep grazed on the high mountain meadows. Grazing fertilized the ground and also kept the wild feed short, preventing grass fires. Johnny’s sheep were part of the entire industry that utilized and trailed sheep through Wood River Valley. That legacy is kept alive today through the ‘Trailing of the Sheep’ Festival in that area.

The family spent many months camping out. Johnny told Ethel when they got married he wanted to take his family along with him. They were an original power team couple, doing everything together! Ethel had their bags packed, ready to go at a moment's notice. She kept a little cardboard box, on hand, filled with lunch supplies: a picnic tablecloth, tin plates, cups, mayonnaise, cans of tuna and chicken, a loaf of bread, sweet pickles and napkins. There were also precooked potatoes and boiled eggs in the refrigerator, to quickly make a potato salad at their picnic site.

In those days, there were many picnic spots along the way to Stanley from which to choose. One could drink cold water out of mountain rivers and springs, without a worry. The fresh clear mountain water quenched everyone’s thirst. It was fun for Florence Mary and Bill to wade in the shallow spots of the Wood River.

In Ketchum they regularly stopped to see Jack Lane, Johnny’s good friend. He owned an oldtime mercantile. The store carried everything from canned peaches to overalls, flour and sugar to medal shovels. The store had more length than width. There were two long counters, one lining each side of the store. The goods were stacked on tall shelves behind the counters. An oversized black cash register sat on the left side counter. In the middle, half way from front to back of the room there (con’t p27)

(con’t from p24)

sat a pot-belly stove which kept the area warm, depending on where you were standing.

A little ways in front of the potbelly stove stood a wooden barrel. Roundish wooden chairs with armrests sat around the barrel. Center stage on top of the flat part of the barrel sat a sturdy red and black painted checkerboard. Land and livestock owners in overalls sat around. While Johnny sat down to get caught up on the news. Ethel and the two children would go next door to the drugstore to get an ice cream cone.

Continuing on the journey over Galena Summit was much different than it is today. The winding roads were narrower than they are now and not paved. Ethel would often get out and walk down the other side, as brakes were not always reliable. Family stories passed down spoke of tree logs which were often chained to the back of Johnny and Ethel’s car to keep it from rolling too fast down the mountain, Galena Summit. Once as the family drove to Stanley, in their Buick, a lone sheep was spotted with Johnny’s livestock brand, the three dots. Johnny walked over slowly, laying his hand on the sheep as he gently guided it to the car. Everyone piled out of the vehicle and Johnny sat the sheep in the middle of the backseat. The sheep sat between the two children, Florence Mary and Bill, for the rest of the ride until Johnny and Ethel drove around and found the ‘band’ of sheep to which the lamb belonged. Johnny’s original quote has been passed down through the family generations: “The sheep paid for the car. The sheep can ride in the car.” (con’t in March)
