Schubert Theatre Receives Idaho Heritage Trust Grant GREAT, INC. has been awarded a very generous $9,000 matching grant from the Idaho Heritage Trust for the 2nd phase of work to replace the roof of the historic Schubert Theatre in Gooding.

The replacement of the roof is critical before the inside restoration begins.

Funds received in 2016 from the Union Pacific Railroad, NW Farm Credit, GoFundMe, and community support will be used as matching fund money.

Plans for the restoration will be presented to the public by MeyersAnderson Architects, Pocatello, ID and GREAT, INC. at a “Community Vision Forum” Thursday, January 19th at the Gooding High School Multipurpose Room (1050 7th Ave West) at 7:00 p.m. All interested community members are invited to

share their input!

The historic Schubert Theatre was built in 1920 by Governor Frank R. Gooding for whom the county and city of Gooding is named as a wedding gift for his daughter and Adam Schubert, his former secretary. The interior has 6 murals painted by Hugo Clausen in the art deco style and a hand painted backdrop of Shoshone Falls signed

by Ernest Miller dated 1920. There are also many signatures on basement door frames and doors dated back to the 1920’s with the names of the plays that the actors were starred in.

More than half of IHT grants are awarded to rural communities with populations of 5,000 or fewer, said Executive Director Katherine Kirk.

This year, 33 projects received matching grants totaling $147,444; also

approved by trustees was $53,000 in architectural conservation and archaeological assistance to organizations all over the state. GREAT, INC. is very grateful to be one of the recipients chose for such a generous grant. Idaho Heritage Trust grants are awarded annually through requests coming from all over Idaho, especially small communities.

For more information and donations: GREAT, INC., P.O. Box 433, Gooding, ID or call (208) 539-0202.

IDFG Employee Helps Rescue Motorist

by Josh Royse, Regional Conservation Officer, Sr.

IDFG has a hero in their midst In the midst of a disaster it takes a lot of ingenuity and teamwork to keep the water flowing at a fish hatchery.

Tuesday, January 3 was a first for the staff at Niagara Springs Fish Hatchery. An unfortunate accident occurred where a car crashed into Niagara’s intake pool. Thankfully one of Niagara’s staff was adjusting water at the time and saw the crash happen. He was able to help and rescue the driver before the vehicle sunk. Quick thinking and bravery on his behalf likely saved the driver’s life.

The staff worked a late evening making sure the fish were safe in the event of an oil leak or obstructed water flow to the facility until the vehicle could be removed.

There were no serious injuries to the people involved or the fish.

Derrick Tuttle, the IDFG employee who assisted the driver, said “I’m just glad I was there to help the young lady out of the SUV.” IDFG would also like to thank Rick Foster and the rest of the Idaho Power crew, the local first responders, and the towing crew for their quick, careful and safe removal of the SUV out of the intake.

Niagara Springs Fish Hatchery is located in the Snake River Canyon 10 miles south of Wendell, Idaho.

Cup of Tee

Airing dirty laundry is a situation where someone is telling a story about someone else. It could be things that happened or didn’t at all. In many cases it is an unpleasant situation whereas someone has done something that doesn’t necessarily need to be told. Many cases it would be the same as gossip (but by all means, listen the first time so I don’t have to repeat it). The same story many times isn’t told the same way each time.

This week I’m airing some clean laundry. I know that sounds a little odd to do the reverse.

Before I get to the laundry, let me tell you about the rest of my week.

I drove home from Twin Falls, Idaho, last Tuesday evening only to get stuck in my driveway with a tractor trailer rig. The next day I missed my scheduled work because I was still stuck. Eight fresh inches of snow added to my delay getting out.

Thursday I got out and traded my boss for his pickup before I had to go back to Twin Falls early in the morning. He prepped the truck to go back to work, but the double digit below zero temperatures didn’t allow the boss’s truck to start. Once again, more snow to shovel. Who left me such a heavy steel shovel to use? Oops, I guess I did.

Saturday past, while the boss’s truck was still charging up, I decided to go the laundromat in Kuna, Idaho, to ready up a volume of laundry so I could be ready to go back to Twin Falls. I asked my friend to drive me there since my car was not home but at the boss’s.

I put the clothes in the washer at the laundro-

mat and decided we would eat lunch two doors down. Half an hour later I came back to put my clothes in the dryer. To my surprise, the door to the laundromat was closed up tight. There were no signs on the door or phone numbers to call.

I ended up going to the Post Office across the street to get out of the blowing wind and snow.

My friend had went down the road to change out his traction pickup-tires. The post office lobby hosted me for an hours. No one ever came back to the laundromat. Was there a family emergency?

Didn’t know. Finally, I called the Kuna Police to see if they could find an owner. After a long while, the police showed up. They couldn’t find anybody registered for business ownership. Very puzzling - yet my clothes were still wet in the laundromat.

Darkness approached and we were able to find a small number inside that was not visible during daylight window glare. We called the owner and he had to come from Boise. Another wait. Not like anyone was trying to steal my clothes. The officer told me he had a lot of odd calls, but my call was right at the top. Gee, thanks! (new power locks created a security lock-down issue.)

Once inside I found my white socks had never even started washing because the hot water had froze. The laundromat washed my socks and dried my clothes. Kind of them! The laundry was gathered and more snow came down. Oh well, airing clean laundry has me some dry socks to shovel more snow.

This is my “Cup of Tee” hold the drier sheets.

Southern Idaho Rangeland Health

The Wood River SWCD and Camas Conservation District (Camas CD) are concerned with rangeland health and how Southern Idaho range fires historically have burned at intervals at 20-50 years. Today with the invasion of Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) it has changed the cycle to 2-10 years, devastating the livestock industry, wildlife and state economic budgets.

Preservation of Sage Brush dependent species, (ex. Greater Sage Grouse) are a high priority. The Wood River SWCD and Camas CD would like to explore options to improve

rangeland health and fight back the cheatgrass invasion by reducing cheatgrass competition on private lands through the use of pseudomonas fluorescens, a common bacteria and imazapic herbicide.

If you have land that has an infestation of cheatgrass and are willing to participate in option method research for control, please contact the Camas Conservation District at 764-3223, camasscd@yahoo.com, or Wood River SWCD at 886-2258, wrswcd@gmail. com. Land must be available for three years and EQIP recognized.
