National History Day in Idaho is an exciting way to engage students in history. For 34 years, students from across Idaho have expanded their learning out of the classroom and into the world of the professional historian. Students track down information about historic people and events by exploring archives, libraries, and other resources. This research leads to new insights and original conclusions that students use to prepare exhibits, documentaries, websites, papers, and performances. These projects are entered into competitions in the spring at six locations around Idaho. The winners of those contests compete at the History Day in Idaho State Contest in April. Those winners advance to the National Contest at the University of Maryland outside of Washington DC. We are seeking volunteers to judge these projects at our contests, and having local civic leaders serve as judges provides wonderful insight for our students. Please see the attached flyer with details about volunteering. Dates and locations are listed here . If you are interested, or know anyone who is, sign up links are below!

Fred Eggers (my Great Grandpa) moved west from Cincinnati, OH in about 1917. His wife needed a drier climate for health reasons. They bought site unseen 500 acres in Murphy Flats, ID. East of Murphy. You couldn’t pay him enough to farm it. I think the reason they picked that is they were getting water out of sinker creek. They ran water, and there were fruit trees out there. I have a book that says that Fred Eggers had 100 dairy cows also. I can remember relatives coming from OH, and he put us all in a Jeep Wagoneer and I remember sitting in the back in a chair. We drove down dirt roads. About 6-7 years ago I went to the historical society in Silver City. I looked up property taxes for Fred Eggers and I plotted it. I know some farmers out there and there is a house out there. My grandfather Chester Sr. was going to Boise High when they lived in Murphy. Dad (Chet Jr.) said he used to ride his motorcycle out. About 1920 Chet Sr. graduated high school and went back to Cincinnati and he worked freight business moving horses and wagons. He met Myrtle Hudson and they came back out to Idaho and moved into this house in 1921; the house was already on the land by then, don’t know how old it is. It was 80 acres and went all the way south to the dead end of Overland road and a quarter miles to the east. Before the freeway went through, you can see a flat space and that’s where the ditch was. The road out front was Post Rd. There was no bathroom. There was a porch where the end of our where the counters were. The bedroom was where the Master is and there was a sleeping porch there. I believe they were raising Italian Prunes. The pasture was up above. There was a dehydrator in Meridian across the street Al’s Meat. They dehydrated the prunes and then sent them out East. I gotta disclaim this that these are stories I pulled together, so it may be only 85% true. ☺ I have an old sprayer that is made out of wood. The last engine that was on it was my dad’s first car engine. I got the engine in the shed. That sprayer sat up on the hill by the canal. My dad is a neat freak. My dad was going to just burn it all up. The fertilizer guy came by and said “That’s an antique!” My dad sold it to him. The Fertilizer guy lived across the street from our place on Victory. He offered it Drew and he paid for it. It was a family heirloom that he saved from getting burned up. And grandma would tell me the story of it being pulled by a team of horses. The way the axel was it got tipped over onto it’s side. She got yelled at and was stubborn and stormed off to the house. I don’t know exactly when. But Fred wanted to get closer to Meridian, so he bought a farm at Ten Mile and Overland Rd. Built in 1924. Chet Sr. decided to get into the dairy business here, and I think that’s when the dairy farm was built here to milk cows. I know in the early 30’s, Chet Sr. needed a name for the farm (Fred’s farm name is unknown) and was reading a national magazine and saw the proud cat and thought, “Black Cat”. They went up to Gate City Steel to have a big cat made and the little cat. The big one was put up on the corner of Hwy 30 with a Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda December 27, 2018 – Page 35 of 50 sign underneath that said “Chester Eggers, Black Cat Farm, ½ Mile South.” The small cat is on one of my buildings. When they got the farm, they were naming roads. This road was called Post Rd., but everyone referred to it as Black Cat Rd. because of the metal cat, so in the early 50s the county renamed it Black Cat Rd. It was probably paved in the late 50s. Before that, we had an oiler that was a trough with holes drilled. We would put They were running dairy; my grandpa would buy and sell registered cattle. My dad went to high school in Meridian. I believe he graduated in 1945 or 1946. My grandfather told everyone he would live a fast 50 years. He was a fast guy, big drinker, hunter (had a cabin out in Silver Plunge). My grandparents got divorced when my dad graduated high school and she moved back to Cincinnati with her dad, and my dad was drafted to go to Korea before the Korean war as a mess sergeant in the army because he thought it would be better than the regular service. He cooked pheasant dinners for the ranking officers on both sides when they had dinner together (Russians and Americans) before the war began. Dad got out of the army and went to college at Miami University of Oxford, Ohio. Two years before graduation met Mom and they lived in Oxford. He got a business degree with the idea of going to work for a company like Proctor and Gamble. This is emotional for me. My grandfather died about that time and they buried him at Cloverdale. Fred was still alive, and he begged Dad to come back to the farm to take over. Dad didn’t really want to be a farmer, but he came back. Mom came back with him, and there’s a house off of Black Cat by the freeway, and they had a hired man (Fred’s) who was running this farm, but when he left my parents lived there. The reason I’m emotional is I’m so thankful to be a farmer, but I appreciate the opportunity I have because Dad came back. Eventually they moved into this house, by which time the prunes were out and it was just dairy. This was perhaps because the profits of prunes and dairy were changing. Side story—look up in Meridian Historical Society about how after the war a bunch of German professionals (lawyers, doctors, etc.) were forced to come here to work on the farms, some of which were hoeing beets down the road. They moved in 1951, and they moved the furniture piled high in a truck. I now have a restoration of that truck with the stock rack sideboards. They started milking cows and farming corn for cow feed, and Myrtle came back to work as postmaster in Idaho City. My mom and grandma never really got along because my dad was an only child and his mom was so close to him. My grandma went on some of their honeymoon with them. I can remember sitting in the bottom right door, watching Dad bring cows in to milk when I was about 2.5 or 3 years old. I remember sitting at the table where your fridge is and hearing the milk truck come in to get the milk. Could have been here every day or maybe every other day, had to be fairly often. Milk would be taken to the creamery in Meridian. Probably had 30-50 cows. Cows’ names in the barn have probably been there since the 50s. Feed went in the big silo, and they fed the milk cows from cans in the long (used to be tack) barn. The rest of Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda December 27, 2018 – Page 36 of 50 the building was a calf barn. Dad sold the cows before Lance was born, and the farm just became a crop farm. Barley, corn, etc. Before brother Lance (2.5 yrs. Younger) was born, the house across the street was for sale and Dad bought the 80 (1/2 mile deep, .25 mile wide). My dad always wanted to do stuff himself, not a good boss/manager. Dad moved across the street, and he worked at his own speed. In the late 50s, maybe 1958, Grandma had met Jack Langford and they were dredging in Silver City. Jack tore apart a dredger and took it out to Cascade by way of Horseshoe Bend. After they retired, they came back to this house and built the room out to the east and remodeled the bedroom a bit. Jack started raising chickens and turkeys. If you go out past the garage and grainery, there were scrap lumber buildings with netting, and I could remember there being 1000 turkeys raised from eggs. They’d take the turkeys to butcher in Nampa, and Grandma would sell orders. When we’d come over, the turkeys would chase us. Then they were raising chickens and the buildings were the brood house and chicken house, and the barn was storage. Later my dad sharecropped land south of Lake Lowell, and we’d fill the graineries with grain, and when winter market prices were better we’d haul the grain to sell. Jack was a builder, and he put concrete in the grainery and the old garage was his shop, so he was the neighborhood blacksmith/fixer/mechanic. Lance and I once built a submarine out of a 55 gallon barrel, and we cut out a window out of the end, and Grandma got us a plexiglass piece for our window. Grandma was our parts supplier with next day delivery; if Jack didn’t have a part, she would get it for us. Jack had emphysema and slept in the toy room, the office was the rose room (because of the rose wallpaper), and the bedroom was Grandma’s room. Dad built the big barn when he lived here. Dick Eggers was Chet Sr’s cousin, and there was a house on Linder that was their property and the still have a sign that says “Egger’s Farm”. Pres. Eisenhower passed the bill to build a freeway (then 80) and it was going to go straight down the ½ mile line and wipe out this house and the one across the street. Mom and Dad were thinking of building a house up on the hill, but someone came out and told Dad that they decided to make the road a bit further south, so we didn’t have to move. The south part of the farm had the gravel farm, and county folks sometimes bought gravel, and they bought gravel out of there to build the freeway. Mom told me that the two things that made her mad was when Dad bought the worthless 40 south of our property, and when ___Wildman was a stepchild to Fred Eggers, and he went out to Orvada and Dad helped him move and fell in love with the farmland out there, and Dad wanted to buy 320 acres from the well drillers out there but Mom said no. Anyway, they started building the freeway and a county commissioner came out to tell him that there were no plans for an overpass but with property on both sides Dad and the neighbors planned an overpass. Morrison Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda December 27, 2018 – Page 37 of 50 Knutsen was building the freeway, and they used our gravel so Dad became friends with their superintendent. At nights when they weren’t running, we’d coast down the “big bugger” hill with our friends that was used for delivering gravel. The superintendent said that with the slope of the hill there never should have been an overpass, but Dad just smiled. MK built the circular drive across the road. My brother Lance and I grew up inventing things in the summertime, and we’d help Dad burn ditches; summer was the most fun. I hated to go back to school. The concrete ditch went in when they put in the freeway with water delivered from the canal under the freeway. Dad raised corn and sold it to the Nickelson Sheep Ranch in Kuna. Another business Grandma and Chet Sr. had was to collect garbage from the city of Boise and brought it back to the hog yard north of the cul-de-sac on Vacaro drive where there are now two houses, and there was an old boiler and they’d boil the garbage to feed the hogs. They started in Boise kind of where the old Ford place was, and they fed the hogs there, but eventually brought the hog out here. Dad’s job was to deliver hogs all over for sale. Probably had a couple hundred hogs at least. The hogs might have come before the dairy cattle. I went to college in 1971 and Meridian was 3500 people and they put in the first stoplight at the corner of Idaho and Meridian where the Sunrise Café is. Our family started into mint in 1968. The 80 acres north of us was own by Sam Richardson. He was a pioneer in the mint industry in Idaho. Sam must have been like 60. His son drove freight truck. His goal was to buy his son a mint farm. He’d by 80, plant it for 4 years, and then sell it for a profit. Frank and Norm had a still at McMillan & Locust Grove. They’d rent tractors and they’d pull behind a tractor. Drop off an empty tub at the farm and they’d hire high school kids to harvest it for us. I remember going by the mint still for the first time and it was strong and terrible. Frank Lutz’s blood pressure was always high. Frank said if your field is too wet, he’d go down the road. I use him as an example. Sam told Dad that maybe we ought to go to Washington and find a used still in case Frank ever decided to pass us buy. We went Spring Break of 1971, I’d gotten a Ford Maverick for Christmas. We headed up to Prosser, WA and say this two bay still and really like it. We talked to Mr. Barks there and made him an offer. He couldn’t sell it for that. We went to Sunnyside and saw another one that was junk. We decided that Barks’s was better. We stopped at the local bank in Prosser to see if they knew of anyone selling a still. Dad and Lutz came out smiling. Said there was one out of town, Barks’s was for sale. Before we got home, Barks spoke to Mom and said they could have it. “The Banker told me I had to sell the still or my cows, so I’ll sell the still.” It took us four days to take apart the still. We loaded two tubs, and then towed two tubs behind. Forty miles an hour the whole way. I’d just graduated from high school. We came into La Grande. “What the heck are we getting off the road for?” Lance yelled back, “The overpass! The overpass.” It was a slanted overpass, and we didn’t know how much space they had so Dad pulled over. We put the still all back together and harvested 225 acres of mint, about 9 acres of mint a day. We averaged about 65 lbs./day. These days it’s Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda December 27, 2018 – Page 38 of 50 well over 100 lbs./day. Fertilizer, insecticide, better roots, and more water help with our yield today. September came around and I was supposed to go to the University of Idaho to college, but we were still harvesting mint. We headed off to Moscow, and I’d never been north of McCall. Dad on the way up said, “You know, maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea if you got married a northern Idaho farmer’s daughter. My sophomore year and Deborah was a freshman we ate in the same dining hall. They had a Snow Ball and got a candidate from the dorms. Deborah was the candidate from her hall and I was kind of watching her all fall. We were all farm boys. I’d ask the guys she went out with and she’d never go out with them again after finding out they were farm boys. I met Deborah and she asked, “What’s your major?” I said, “Engineering”. I didn’t mention Agriculture Engineering. So I got the second date. I brought her home for dinner. Her grandparents were farmers and she saw how hard they worked. Deborah took a liking to my parents. Deborah graduated a semester early and I took an extra semester to graduate so we graduated in December 1975. I was working summers at the irrigation district in Homedale. I loved that job. I worked 2 summers as an intern and one summer we lived in Homedale. Deborah worked in the nursing home and picked fruit. There was nothing in Homedale. I was working with farmers over there, and I realized I’d really like to farm. I went to Boise and stopped by the farm (in 1977) and my parents were sitting on the back porch. I said to them, “I’m kind of thinking I’d like to farm.” Mom said, “What?!? You’ve got a good job and education and you want to come back to do this?!?” If my dad hadn’t have done mint, I probably wouldn’t have wanted to do it. Dad said, “You know, you could come back and start share-cropping with me.” I came home and told Deborah. Dad had this house (our house) rented out. He told me that in a few months he’d like to have it empty so we could live here. My grandmother had moved off to a condo in Boise so that’s why it had been rented out. In January 1978 we moved into this house. In the spring we were farming in Lake Hazel. I could have never gotten into farming without my dad’s help. He let me use his equipment. The board comes to me and said, “Do you want to be manager?” They hired someone else who ended up creating more problems because he didn’t know about farming. I spoke to one of the board members and told him I wanted to go back to the farm. He said, “You can take the boy out of the farm, but you can’t take the farm out of the boy.” I got an offer to manage the Boise project, but I told him I wanted to go back to the farm. We came back to the farm and the second year back planted a mint crop and started a family. We had to lock the door because Grandma Myrtle would drive back and just walk in. It was her farm! She’d just show up! She’d then go over and say hi to Mom and Dad. Sarah was born in this house in July 12, 1979. I was born here November 21, 1952, and my Dad was born June 12/13, 1927. Deborah was working for JR Simplot company as a computer programmer. She was saving money and said, “Drew, I’d like to buy a new house.” We took a second mortgage. When I started farming in 1978 I didn’t want my dad to finance me. I went into Cherry Plaza where the office was. When I came back to farm, I didn’t know how to farm. So at the office there was a budget book, and had to say our food budget. So they came out to look through the property and house. Our first angus cow we named “Hamburger” so it was clear that Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda December 27, 2018 – Page 39 of 50 this cow was for food. In 1979 I borrowed money to plant our first mint crop. It only did 25lbs/acre at the property on Lake Hazel & Black Cat. I went in to the banker and said this is all I can pay. They said, “Don’t worry about it, just come back next year.” I went into Farmer’s Home and I had a good year the next year. “I want to pay you guys off.” They went into the back room, I didn’t think they knew what I owed them. I wrote them out a check and I was out of debt that winter. I walked back into the office in the spring. “You know, you paid us off, you don’t qualify anymore.” I’d have been better off to not pay them off. “But Drew, if you go down ot the Farm Bureau office, in the back room is a rep and you make an appointment with him, and we’ll write you a recommendation letter.” I passed, they gave me a loan and I’ve been with them ever since. We were able to buy another house, and my brother Todd got married and left college, and they moved in after we left. I kind of saw that my personality and my dad and brothers were really different. (Type A vs. Type B). I bought my first combine and took care of my dad’s and mine. As soon as I finally paid off the combine I hired someone else because the grain bothered me so much. It got so I was farming 200 acres on my own. My dad had traded some land (400 acres with Todd), so between us we were farming 600 acres. In the 80s I was paying 11% interest rates. We were making it. I think it was a disappointment to my dad that my brother and I couldn’t get along. About August Todd and I had it out, and I ended up buying him out. In January 1986, I told Deborah, “I’m going to go see what Dad is doing.” It was cold in the house. I went to find him in the shop. His dog was acting really crazy. So I saw the truck backed up to the shop. My dad was a perfectionist. He’d gone to the gravel pit and gotten a load. I could see his feet and could see he was pinned. I jumped in the truck and started it and raised it up. I called 911 in the phone from the shop. The dispatcher told me to drag him out of the truck and was doing CPR on him. I knew his chest was crushed. He was unconscious. I got this feeling he wasn’t in his body, he was in the corner of the shop looking down on me. The sheriff deputy wanted me to write down the story, and Kenny kept saying, “Drew, it doesn’t look good.” Pretty soon Mark drives in, and I told him Dad’s been in an accident. I said, “We’ve got to go find Mom.” She was driving home from Bridge. I was always so thankful that she hadn’t found him. The ER guys were working on Dad and we were sitting down and Todd and Mark showed up. I said, “I gotta go tell Grandma Myrt.” I said, “Grandma, Dad’s been in a bad accident.” I call Lance and I say, “Dad’s been in a bad accident and come home.” Dad passed away from it. It’s so wonderful having the family together at the time. So many people were helping and bringing dishes. Ian Smith did the service. We were affiliated with the Methodist church. We gave all of the donations to the volunteer fire department. We had honorary pallbearers. Wendell was our boiler man. He was a pallbearer and he was kind of lost and we tell him to hop in with the family. And he starts telling a story about the first time he met us out here. And it really meant a lot to me. He remembers us three little boys running around and took a liking to us. Charlie also rode with us in the limo. He was like a brother. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda December 27, 2018 – Page 40 of 50 After my dad’s death, the lawyer offered a solution where my mom denied the property, and so each of us boys took a 1/3 of the property. That way she didn’t have it in her name and estate. The will gave the machinery to Todd and I. We were sitting at the bar (lunch counter) in the house across the street in February; a month after Dad was killed. I was so afraid that I was going to have to take on 200 acres more acres. It was growth I was afraid of. Todd says, “Well, you’re farming 200 acres. Dad and I have 400. How about you take the 100 acres.” I knew when he said that that I needed to prepare myself because I was going to take his share later. This guy, Steve Moore came to me in 1988. Steve says, “After sharing water with those egg heads at our property in Verbena, I said I don’t want to share water. I memorized this whole area. I told Beth, “One of these days a realtor is finally going to remember me and tell me about it.” Drew says, “In the selling of the estate, we had things divided. I was afraid that I wouldn’t be allowed to come onto this place. I had an attorney draw up an easement so I could come on the property any time. Todd was working for me then. He said, “Why wouldn’t you let me sell this place?” This was the only time that I thought he was going to deck me. That’s when I hired Roger so he can learn what Todd’s doing. I passed on buying the home place, and let Todd sell the place. Steve approached me and he knew that I had protected myself. I suggested a five-year easement rather than a lifetime easement and Steve had the right to renew if he wanted. But the partnership worked out. Todd gave me a tractor and truck to change the easement, and then I bought 37 acres where the mint still is now. I can remember at nights sleeping in the bedroom and cars going down the road at 80 mph and being afraid of cars running into the house.

After Ella left us, we gained Kourtney, a fellow Meridian High School student. Kourtney is on MYAC and heavily involved at school including in the newspaper. We also gained an additional seat on our commission, giving us an odd number of commissioners (although most of our votes have a full commission consensus as it is). Jody Ault is a wonderful addition to our team and we look forward to working with her and being able to reference her expertise. This year, the commission elected to send Hillary Blackstone, our staff liaison, to the PastForward Conference. We have decided to fund this conference on alternating years, or as needed, rather than planning on attending it every year as we want to recognize the expense and also take advantage of specialized trainings that are taking place closer to home. Engaging Local Students ► We expanded our student initiative this year to encompass a wider range of projects that could be accepted. We also opened the competition up beyond high school to all school-aged youth. The commission will continue to finesse this program to get local students more involved with historic preservation and find creative ways to feature their work. Meridian History Course ► This year, with the help of Jake Garro, Amy Birch and Linda Belthoff, we were able to offer our Meridian History course to the public. We had 13 people sign up for the course and it was well received by the attendees and less overall work for our instructors (as compared to teaching the professional development course). Amy and Linda led the course and had a number of guest speakers including Mayor Tammy, Jim Zamzow, and Carol Standley. Dawn Cronk was able to attend the course all day and help facilitate as well as represent HPC. After the course, Dawn presented a re-cap and the commission decided that they liked the idea of hosting the public course for at least another year. Most teachers looking for the professional development credits have taken this course by now, so we may want to wait a couple of years to offer the course in that variation again, in order to reach a new crowd of teachers who can use the course in their curriculum. Historic Walking Tour & Historic Preservation Month ► The MDBA continues to support a portion of the ongoing cost for the Walking Tour app and they now host an additional map on the app to highlight downtown businesses. Josh Evarts, Dawn Cronk, and Ella Kramer lead a large (25+ person) tour through the streets of Meridian during their Historic Preservation Month celebration. HPC reached out to businesses to see if they would keep their doors open after-hours for visitors interested in learning about the buildings that they are housed in. The tour stopped at a couple sites including the Mill and Richard Nourse’s home. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda December 27, 2018 – Page 43 of 50 Shelly Houston and her sister helped manage the crowd at Richard’s house. Shelly also helped coordinate a pop up tent for the front of Richard’s home as well, so that he could display more artifacts including his mother’s wedding dress and photos from his father’s side of the family. We also continued to host “If This Property Could Talk” by placing signs throughout downtown. Oral History ► Dawn Cronk and Than Reed coordinated the effort to record an oral history with Ruth Wilkins. We attempted to use the StoryCorps platform to make this recording, but had some difficulties in doing so. The HPC expressed a continued desire to add more oral histories through StoryCorps. These recordings are archived through the Library of Congress and are hosted through the StoryCorps website. We’d like to encourage individuals in Meridian to make their own recordings so that families can work with loved ones and better understand their family’s history in Meridian. Historical Society ► The Meridian Historical Society continues to be an asset for HPC and a number of City Departments. This year, we were able to get each of the City Council members and C.Jay Coles as City Clerk to get tours of the Historical Society’s collections, both upstairs and in the basement. Their records and time have supported staff in the Clerk’s Office, Planning Department, Public Works, and more. The Historical Society has gained two new members, Dave and Betsy Hanson, who volunteer weekly and who cover for others when they are out. With Dave and Besty’s help, the History Center is able to be open every day of the week. Later in the year, Lila invited a number of potential stakeholders to meet to discuss the future of the Historical Society Collection. These discussions will be on going, but will help everyone to plan and have a clear vision for where the Historical Society collection will be stored, maintained, accessibly, etc. Children’s Museum of Idaho ►Our HPC has continued to follow the progress of the recently opened Children’s Museum of Idaho. The museum has multiple exhibits that speak to the roots of Meridian’s history, but our contribution to their efforts was in the form of supporting the construction of a small outdoor cabin that local kids can explore and learn about how early Meridian residents may have lived. The cabin’s interior walls were finished with the wood of a Meridian barn that was torn down earlier in 2018. Third Grade Tours ► HPC continued its partnership with West Ada School District (and Compass Charter) and MDC to support third grade field trips downtown. While HPC doesn’t contribute man-power or significant funding, we have supported supplies for the volunteers who lead the tours at City Hall. Volunteers organized by Barbara Hatch (Parks) lead all of the tours; she does an outstanding job to make sure that our students get a wonderful experience here at Meridian City Hall. We have felt a lot of support from both City departments and outside organizations this year. We are grateful to all of those who work with us and share our vision to preserve our history. It is with support from the City, informal community groups and individuals, and formal organizations that help us reach a broader audience, promote our history, and advocate preserving our legacy as a community.
