News Water Supply is Off to a Good Start
NRCS News Release The Natural Resources Conservation Service just released the first water supply outlook report for the 2016 water year. Precipitation since the water year started on October 1, 2015, varies across the state with the majority of the watershed basins at 95 to 175% of normal. “January 15th marks winter’s half way point which is when Mother Nature usually deposits half of the winter’s snowfall in our mountains,” said Ron Abramovich, Water Supply Specialist with the Idaho Natural Resources Conservation Service. “So far Idaho snowpacks are off to a great start this year thanks to El Nino. Most basins are between from 110 to 190% of average, although sev-
eral basins are just below normal.” Typically north Idaho receives more precipitation than southern Idaho; however, this year the highest snowpack is in the state’s Owyhee and Bruneau basins with close to 190% of average. The lowest snowpacks are between 90 and 99% of average in the Panhandle Region, Clearwater, Upper Snake and Bear River basins. This snow accumulation pattern is the opposite from the past two years which saw better snowfall in the basins along the continental divide. Based on Idaho’s Surface Water Supply Index, water supplies around the state should be adequate with some exceptions for the central Idaho basins. With early snow accumu-
lation so high across most of the state, water supplies look promising, but due to lack of snow in the mid-elevations in recent history, drought concerns are still present. “We’re in the fourth inning of the game,” Abramovich said. “With half the winter still to come, expect the water supply outlook to change.” For information on specific basins, streams, and reservoirs, view the full report online at January Water Supply Outlook Report. ---- Snow measurements on January 2nd at Couch Summit showed 45 inches and Chimney Creek showed 39 inches. That puts the Camas Basin snowpack at 150% (1981 to 2010 median).
Don’t Miss Opening Day of Hunting Even though Idaho’s spring turkey hunting season is months away, now is a great time for beginning hunters to register for and complete a hunter education course. Hunter education is required for anyone born on or after January 1, 1975 who wants to purchase an Idaho
hunting license. The overall goal is the prevention of hunting and firearm related accidents, but emphasis is also placed on improving knowledge about the heritage of hunting and developing a sense of ethics and responsibility. continued on page 9.....

Henry Orthel
Henry Orthel, 90 of Gooding slipped peacefully from us on January 7 2016 due to a heart that could no longer keep up with his spirit. He was born on July 7, 1925 in Filer, Idaho to Henry Orthel Sr. and Alda Orthel. He was the second of three children sandwiched in by older sister Betty and younger brother John. They grew up on a farm south of Filer where he developed his love for farming which he did throughout his life. Henry farmed in Filer, Hazelton, and Twin Falls. He spent several decades before retiring doing custom farming for almost everybody in and around Twin Falls. In March of 1945 Henry joined the United States Army. He trained for 4 months at Camp Maxey in Texas then sailed to Okinawa on the USS General Bundy. He was assigned to the medical detachment, 6th Engineer Combat Battalion. He was first stationed in Seoul, Korea and was then stationed at several places in Korea for a year. He left Pusan, Korea in November of 1946 on the ship the US Marine Fox and sailed home much to the relief of his mother. Henry was honorably discharged from the Army on December 2, 1946 with a rank of Technician 4th grade. Henry was very proud of the time he served his country as was his family. Henry was a lifelong, active member of the Elks and of the American Legion. He was a member of the Twin Falls Elk lodge #1183 until he transferred to the Gooding lodge #1745 in 2004. He served on many committees in both organizations, enjoyed helping with the Elks Hoop Shoot and volunteered his time to improve his communities. He was selected as Elk of the Year twice by his fellow Elks and his presence and friendship will be greatly missed. In 1967 Henry married Carolyn Wullschleger and became a father to 5 year old Wayne. Three years later they welcomed Sarah to the family and lived in Twin Falls until he and Carolyn moved to Gooding in 2004 and officially retired. He enjoyed sitting out on the patio watching everyone else farm around him. Henry is survived by his only true love, wife Carolyn of 48 years, their daughter Sarah and their grandchildren Shelby, Hope and Joe which he treasured. He is also survived by his son David, his wife Nancy and their daughter Aubrey along with his other daughter, Diane. His brother John and many nieces, nephews and their children will deeply miss their Uncle Henry. Anyone who was lucky enough to call Henry their friend had a friend for life. He is leaving a large empty space that will never be filled but

Larry Don Bay
Larry Don Bay, 68, of Wendell Idaho, unexpectedly left our world on January 5 2016. Larry was born June 16 1947 in Yale Oklahoma to H.E. and Inez Bay. He graduated From Wendell High School in 1966. In February 1970 he married Linda Gorrell and they have been lifelong mates. Larry is survived by his wife Linda; three daughter Mindy (Mike) Starry, Sheri (Dan) Anderson, and Amy Hansen (Chris Golliher); 2 brothers Louis and Denny; sister Gayle; and his best fishing bud Doug; 8 grandchildren, one deceased, (Brady). Larry was preceded in death by numerous family members. Our father Larry Bay had a soul full of kindness and love. He was rich in generosity and helped anyone when needed. He showed us girls right from wrong and he taught us to work hard and appreciate anything and everything. He had a stubborn streak that rubbed off on us. He experienced many unfortunate things in life; financial, medical, and emotional. He was able to stay positive and be strong and move on with a smile on his face. He lived a full successful life and we know he had no regrets and left this earth content and happy. He probably would have liked to do more fishing and spend more time camping and enjoying retirement with our Mother, but he wasn’t afraid of dying. He was never afraid. His love for our Mother (Linda Bay) was one of a kind and everlasting. He will always be in our hearts, actions and memories. If you had an opportunity to know or meet him, consider yourself truly blessed. He was and will continue to be our rock
Rest in peace Daddy.
There will be a fishing trip picnic announced in June to honor Larry to let him catch the big one. Memorial contributions in Larry’s name may be made to the Brady Hansen Scholarship Fund at any Famers National Bank branch. Arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service.

With the Weather what it is; today is a perfect day to lounge around and have a hot cup of Tea or a hot cup of chocolate. I think the choice should be hot chocolate this time. I go to the cupboard and find the hot chocolate is gone. Did I use the last of it and not replace it? Maybe the kids were over and they used the last one. Maybe high-seas pirates stopped by and annexed the chocolate for trading purposes. For whatever reason, chocolate will have to be replaced by a hot cup of tea. Approximately 1500 B.C. the Olmec civilizations of Guatemala, the Chiapas, the Yucatan regions of central America cultivated the cacao tree. They made use of its product by grinding the beans and then mixing with water. Around 200 A.D. the Mayans overthrew the Olmecs. The vast cacao plantations were used as a source of currency, with the little black beans being traded for goods and services. The bean was only consumed by the ruling classes. The process of making the drink had become more sophisticated. The beans were roasted, ground with water, and then spices such as chili were added. The Mayans were supplanted by the Aztecs around 1200 A.D. Their god Quetzalcoatl was said to have pilfered a cacao tree from the heavenly realms and planted it in central America. Montezuma, the famed emperor, enjoyed the drink so much, he was said to have drunk 50 goblets a day. Christopher Columbus, on his fourth voyage to the new world in 1502, took possession of a Mayan trading vessel and took what he thought were almonds back to Spain. He never tastes or gives the cacao bean any attention. Later, Hernando Cortes leads an expedition into the heartland of Mexico in search of silver and gold. He was welcomed by the Aztecs with a bitter cold drink called “cacahuatl”. Cortes brought the strange drink back to Spain, and with a touch of sugar, the drink becomes and instant hit. The Spanish kept the drink a secret for 75 years. During that time, the English seized at least two Spanish cargo ships loaded with cacao beans. The English think the ships are full of sheep droppings and they are burned at sea. Between 1609 and 1643 the secret of chocolate made its way out to the rest of Europe. The French were so take with the flavor, they manufacture and sell the delicacy. In 1765, chocolate made its way to the United States. Dr. James Baker of Massachusetts began a chocolate manufacturing plant where the cacao beans are ground into a liquid and pressed into cakes (thus the Baker’s chocolate). At this point I can see how chocolate got here, but the question of where the hot chocolate from my cupboard went is still not answered. I’m sure the English weren’t involved this time. For now, this is my “Cup of Hot Tee”, meaning cup without cacao. Tee Hurd
“Take a course now if you can,” says Brenda Beckley, hunter recruitment and retention manager. “If you wait too long, you may miss out on opening day.” Two course options are available for prospective hunters. An instructor-led course is considered the best option for youth ages 9 to 14, and for individuals having minimal hunting experience. Another option is the online course that requires a field day where a field exercise and written exam are given. To view a list of upcoming courses or to register, visit the Fish and Game website at http://fishandgame.idaho.gov and click on Education. Registration can also be completed at any Fish and Game regional office. Idaho Fish and Game also offers a Hunting Passport, a special authorization that allows any first-time hunter, resident or nonresident, age 8 or older to try hunting for one year with a licensed adult mentor without first having to complete an Idaho hunter education course. This allows the beginning hunter to experience hunting before committing to the coursework and effort required to complete hunter education. Currently, a person can only use this special authorization once, and is not eligible for a Hunting Passport in subsequent years. Legal Notices ~ Legal Notices ~ Legal Notices
