Watch For Wildlife on Highways
By Mike Demick, Staff Biologist
Winter is already tough for deer, elk and other big game animals, and being near busy roads and highways can be deadly, so drivers are asked to keep a sharp eye out and avoid costly and potentially dangerous collisions. “Being extra careful and watchful is your best defense,” said Greg Painter, Idaho Fish and Game wildlife manager based in Salmon. “Motorists need to be extra cautious and slow down, especially under low light conditions continued on page 8... when visibility is limited,”
The Primary Elections will be a little different this year with Presidential Primaries for both the Republican and Democrat parties being held on March 10th. Idaho Democrats have selected their Presidential candidate through a caucus system since 1980. To increase voter participation, they will be switching back to the primary system beginning this year. The Primary Election for State and local candidates will be held on May 19th.

Cup of Tee
© In 2018, on the night of the Christmas Tree Lighting, the news crew was up from Boise, Idaho. Their mission was to see how the people of Camas County could be surviving the 27 below zero weather that had been occurring for days. Many people at the tree lighting asked me, “Tee, did you see the news team?” I told them, “No. Was I supposed to? Why would I be interested in seeing the news team?” Their reply was, “Maybe you could do a story about them being here??” I looked around, but apparently their stay was very short. In fact, they never stayed for the Christmas Tree Lighting. Maybe they couldn’t hack the weather conditions. Mayby they could not hack all the happy people of “Whoville” gathered to the tree lit. As I kept thinking about the news team that never stayed, I wondered why they missing the tree lighting. Maybe the news team couldn’t see the significance of the event. Although the tree lighting was only one day in December, it is not just a one day event. The lighting of the tree signifies light, hope, and good in the world. On a smaller personal basis, the tree lighting is a time for family to get together and share as a family. The events throughout the evening host activities for each and every one of us - how often do we do things as a family? How about friends one never sees except maybe 3 or 4 times a year. I know I travel 155 miles

for the camaraderie of friends. People meet with no superfluous ways. They are all dressed to be warm. No one cares about designer labels. Today, many small communities struggle to survive. The Christmas Tree Lighting helps bring local trade and shopping specifically to their town. You could say a community, one for all. Sometimes these bazaars associated with the tree lighting, depend on that group’s support to insure helping others later. The lighting of the tree gives a warm feeling of light at the end of the tunnel, a sense of value (not loneliness), and a beacon to keep the darkness away. Good cure for cabin fever. In many instances, a Christmas tree lighting is a walk down memory lane when we were all younger and things were simpler. In today’s techy world, it could be something as plain as one catching the moment on a cell phone to share or store for a later date. Although the Christmas Tree is lit at the start of Christmas, we don’t have to use it for only a few days use. We can use it for the whole year, and regenerate it at the next tree lighting. Instead of helping others only at Christmas, we could extend a hand throughout the coming winter months when help is really needing. We can get together as family, friends, and community. This is my candle lit “Cup of Tee” saying in 2020 we should keep the Christmas Tree principles with our LIGHTS on.

James Raymond Olsen
obit ua ry
James Raymond Olsen, 32, of Idaho’s Mammoth Cave, died on December 26, 2019, at his home in Shoshone, Idaho. He was born in Twin Falls, Idaho on June 2, 1987 to parents, Richard Arthur Olsen and Sandra Marie Olsen, and grew up in Shoshone, Idaho. Early in life, James developed a deep love for hunting, fishing, and the outdoors with his father and brothers. Whether it was crane hunting, catching sturgeon on the Columbia River, or walking the Oregon coast, he always loved a good adventure. As a 2005 graduate of the Shoshone High School, James went on to spend time in Alaska as a diver before becoming a professional tour guide at Idaho’s Mammoth Cave. As a friendly, familiar face, people from far and wide enjoyed visiting with him as they explored the cave and museums. He also loved a wide variety of sports and was a huge fan of the Oakland Raiders, the Denver Broncos, and the Boise State Broncos. James was a kind, thoughtful, and loving soul that would do anything for his family and friends and expected nothing in return. He was widely known for calling or messaging people out of the blue to check up on them and let them know he loved them. These expressions of love were never lost or wasted with those that knew him, and that love will remain forever as it recirculates from person to person. Everyone that knew him will forever be thankful and grateful to have had him in their lives. Although James had no children of his own, he was an exceptional uncle to his nieces and nephews, and they all looked up to him with love in their eyes. Whether it was hugs, words of encouragement, teasing, or paying customers to buy their rocks from their pretend “rock store” at the cave, James doted on them all as if they were his own. James was also a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Although he was not active in the church, he held a strong belief in Jesus Christ and his Father in Heaven and had a powerful testimony which he often shared with those close to him. James was preceded in death by his father, Richard Arthur Olsen, by three months. He is survived by his mother, Sandra Marie (Olsen) Davidson; grandmother, Marjorie Lucile Jones; his 11 siblings, Stephen R. Olsen, Jason C. Olsen, Debra L. Murray (Troy), Joshua D. Ghan (Claire), Rachel A. Olsen, Cheri A. Hogue (Josh), Sarah L. Olsen, Rebecca L. Olsen, Paul W. Olsen, Katie A. Olsen Furrer (Josiah), and Peter A. Olsen; 17 nieces and nephews, Hannah Evans (Walker), Justin Lovato (Victoria), Savanah Dudley, Kandice Gibson (Alex), Nichole Dudley, Kaleb Mitchell, Mikayla Olsen, Zachariah Halverson, Shaylynn Mitchell, Sadie Olsen-Wood, Jacob Ghan, William Mitchell, Emily Ghan, Gabriel Ghan, Michael Olsen, Weston Furrer, and Adonis Golianis; and four great-grand nieces and nephews, Sophia Dudley, Journey Truscott, Jaden Ghan, Chance Lehigh, and Mia Rose. Funeral services were held on Saturday, January 4, 2020, at the Shoshone Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Graveside dedication held at the Shoshone Cemetery.

Precautions to Reduce Collisions:
Big-game animals are especially active at dawn, dusk and at night. Motorists should drive extra cautious during these times. Slow down. Driving more slowly increases reaction time and reduces the chance of a collision. Always wear your seat belt. This won’t prevent a collision, but it can save your life depending upon the severity of the accident. Scan ahead and watch for movement, especially near the fog line and side of the road. When driving at night, watch for shining eyes in headlights. If you see one animal cross the road, slow down immediately and look for more to follow. Pay extra attention in areas posted with wildlife crossing signs. They are there for good reason. Using high beams can help you spot wildlife, but be considerate of other drivers when using them. Don’t Tailgate. Always keep a safe distance between you and the car in front of you to avoid any unnecessary accidents. If that driver brakes suddenly for an animal in the road, you won’t be able to react in enough time. Don’t swerve and risk losing control of your vehicle. Try to brake as much as possible and stay on the roadway. The most serious crashes occur when drivers lose control of their vehicles trying to avoid an animal. It is usually safer to strike the animal than another object such as a tree or another vehicle. -- -- - Of course, some accidents are unavoidable. Motorists should report any injury collision to the public safety dispatcher by calling 911, which will send officers to the scene. If possible, move your vehicle to a safe place and alert on-coming traffic with your emergency flashers until law enforcement authorities arrive. Drivers who come across a dead animal on the side of the road are encouraged to report the roadkill on Idaho Fish and Game’s website. The information collected on wildlife collisions helps identify high-risk areas and possible solutions to make highways safer. People may also recover and keep certain game animals killed by accidental auto collisions. You have 24 hours to notify Fish and Game if you salvage an animal, and 72 hours to obtain a salvage permit. For more information on Fish and Game’s roadkill and salvage webpage, including reporting requirements and a list of species legal to salvage, refer to or contact your nearest Fish and Game office.
