NRCS Water Supply Outlook Report
January 11, 2021 – The Natural Resources Conservation Service in Idaho has released the January Water Supply Outlook Report for the 2021 water year. Water year 2021started off slowly with below normal precipitation during the fall across most of Idaho and the Snake River headwaters. As of January 1, total snowpack and precipitation are below normal across all basins, with the Clearwater, Coeur d’Alene-St. Joe, and Pend Oreille-Kootenai basins faring closest to normal conditions. However, at the time of compiling the Water Supply Outlook Report this month, early January storms increased total snowpack across all basins. Streamflow, snowpack, and precipitation data for each basin can be accessed on the NRCS Idaho Snow Survey web page.
Erin Whorton, the new Hydrologist-Water Supply Specialist for NRCS Snow Survey in Idaho, noted “With nearly three more months of the normal snow accumulation season, and the continued prediction for moderate La Niña conditions, the outlook looks promising for meeting this year’s water supply demands. Historically, La Niña conditions have resulted in increased precipitation across Idaho.” January 1 streamflow forecasts are affected by the inherent uncertainty in how the snowpack will develop. Water users can expect streamflow forecasts, issued by the National Water and Climate Center team, to grow more accurate as we near peak snowpack timing. For information on specific basins, streams, and reservoirs, please view the full report online at January Water Supply Outlook Report.

USDA Seeks Guidance on Nonindustrial Private Forest Land
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is seeking public input on Nonindustrial Private Forest Land (NIPF) related to technical and financial assistance available through conservation programs of USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). “We want to ensure we continue program consistency across USDA agencies with how we are defining nonindustrial private forest lands,” said Curtis Elke, NRCS State Conservationist in Idaho. “It’s important that our conservation assistance reach all eligible lands in accordance with proper criteria to ensure we enroll eligible lands that hold meaningful opportunities.” NRCS welcomes input from stakeholders across the nation, including those in Idaho, to assist with the development of guidance about how to identify NIPF for program enrollment purposes. NRCS must ensure that such guidance is consistent with how other USDA agencies identify NIPF under identical or similar programmatic frameworks. This request for input is to improve transparency about how NRCS makes land eligibility determinations with respect to forest lands. Nonindustrial private forest land criteria will be adopted after the close of the 30-day period and after consideration of all comments. Submitting Comments NRCS invites input on this technical guidance through January 19, 2021. Electronic comments must be submitted through regulations.gov under Docket ID NRCS–2020–0009. All written comments received will be publicly available on http://www.regulations.gov.

...but never Compromising the Truth.
Letter to the Editor
This letter is to all who knew and loved Brent (Twinkle Toes) Nakano who passed away November 28, 2020. He loved this community and he loved everyone in it. If you ask, nobody ever heard him say a negative word about anyone; we believe Brent was more ill than he ever let on, but nobody ever heard him complain. Thank you to everyone who participated in helping to make his dream come true – to send his daughter Meadow to college. Two fund-raisers were held in Brent’s honor: one at the Angler’s in Hagerman and the other at Outlaws and Angels. On December 19th, a fundraiser was held at Outlaws and Angels in Bliss. We would like to thank all of those who donated raffles prizes; those individuals are as follows: Budweiser, Chappels Market, Main Street Wine, Nikki Mitchell, Riverboat, Roger (Chappels), Rose Schwarzbach, Simmerlys Market, Sweet Pea Boutique, Cathy Wilsing, Wilson’s, Ziggy’s in Bliss and Ziggy’s in Hagerman. And, to Dan Carter and Steven Hillman. There are so many people who participated behind the scenes to put both benefits together, thank you so much to everyone of you – you know who you are. But most of all, we would like to thank our community. It truly takes a village, and it took not only those that donated raffle prizes, but those we were so kind and generous with their monies and time for our beloved Twinkle Toes. The monies raised will help provide the future Brent dreamed for Meadow. What a wonderful community we live in! Adrienne Ruggles

Two little girls were playing together in the park when one said, “I wonder what time it is?” “Well, it can’t be four o’clock,” replied the other with magnificent logic. “How you know that?” asked the first girl. “Because my mother my mother said I had to be home by four o’clock, and I’m not.” -- -- -Times are getting better. I used to sleep in my two-door sedan. Now I sleep in a van. -- -- -He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. -- -- -Have you ever heard the story of the magic sandwich? Nevermind, it’s a bunch of bologna. -- -- -My five-year-old son and I were headed to McDonald’s and we saw and accident up ahead. Most often when we see a bad accident, we say a quick prayer for anyone who might be hurt. So I said to my son, “We should pray.” Immediately from the backseat I heard, “Please, God, don’t let those cars be blocking the entrance to McDonald’s.” -- -- -My lawyer made me tell the truth. He said he would do anything to win his case. -- -- -Early to bed and early to rise is a sure sign that you’re fed up with television. -- -- --
The boss called his delinguent employee into his office. “It has not escaped my attention that eveytime there is a home game at the stadium, you have to take your aunt to the doctor.” The employee replied, “You know, you are right sir. You don’t suppose she’s faking it, do you?” -- -- -After a long night of drinking at the tavern, the man was in no shape to drive. So, he wisely left his car parked and walked home. As he was stumbling down the sidewalk, an officer came up to him and asked, “Where are you going at 2:00 a.m.?” The drunk replied, “I’m going to a lecture.” The officer asked, “Who is going to give a lecture at this hour?” The man said, “My wife.” -- -- -A lady was bragging to he next door neighbor, “We are so proud of our son in college. He is very brilliant. Everytime we get a letter from him, we have to go to the dictionary.” The neighbor lady replied, “You’re lucky, everytime we get a letter from our son we have to go to the bank.” -- -- -A baby boomer is someone who has someone to mow the yard so he can play golf for exercise. -- -- -They have perfected a new aspirin tablet - half aspirin and half glue. It’s great for a splitting headache. -- -- --

Ivan C. Hopkins
Ivan C. Hopkins, 87, of Shoshone passed away peacefully at his home on Jan.
5, 2021. Ivan was born on March 29, 1933 in Huston, Idaho, the son of Guy Hopkins and Helen McKinney Hopkins. He was raised on the family farm in the Sunny Slope area near Caldwell and graduated from Notus High School in 1951. Ivan was a star football player in high school, but rather than continue with football at the College of Idaho, he instead went to the University of Idaho to pursue a degree in agriculture. While at the University, he became reacquainted with Esther Andersen whom he had previously met in 1948 on a cross country train trip to attend National 4-H Congress in Chicago. They married in 1954, and then graduated from the University of Idaho in 1955. Following graduation, Ivan and Esther lived for a short while near Caldwell where Ivan worked on the family farm. Ivan was later drafted into the army and after discharge returned to the farm. Soon after, Ivan accepted his first position with the University of Idaho Cooperative Extension Service in Burley, as assistant county agriculture agent. In 1963, the family moved to Shoshone, beginning a distinguished career as U of I County Agriculture Extension agent, serving 38 years for Cassia, Lincoln, Minidoka and Jerome counties. Ivan was proud to be a “rural farm kid”. Agriculture was a way of life for him. He was widely recognized as an expert in irrigation, weed management, and crops especially wheat, barley, and potatoes. The favorite part of his day was to be out walking fields with farmers and friends to improve efficiency while maximizing yields. His favorite motto was “Don’t let your office be too comfortable. Get out and see what’s happening in the field.” Ivan’s expertise was recognized over the years with many awards, too numerous to list. Some of the more notable awards include the Idaho Governor’s Lifetime Achievement Award for Excellence in Agriculture, Lifetime Achievement award from the Idaho Grain Producers and installation to the Idaho 4-H Hall of Fame. Ivan was pleased to be one of few “crops guys” to be inducted into the Livestock Hall of Fame. Ivan served his profession at a national level as an active member of the National Association of County Agriculture Agents, holding state and
national offices. Ivan also had the opportunity to work overseas with the organization Volunteers for Overseas Cooperative Assistance. He served tours in Armenia, after the break-up of the Soviet Union, advising farmers how to improve yields of wheat. In Egypt, he worked to improve irrigation and harvest of potatoes. Another of his favorite achievements was the establishment of the South-Central Idaho 4-H Camp north of Ketchum. Ivan was most pleased with the reward that came from helping kids through 4-H and any activity that promoted learning and growth in agriculture, gardening and natural sciences. Always involved in community activities in Shoshone and Rupert, Ivan was a member of Rotary Club and Kiwanis, served on boards for Shoshone City Planning and Zoning, Golden Years Senior Center in Shoshone and Christ Episcopal Church in Shoshone and Trinity Episcopal Church in Rupert. Ivan travelled extensively throughout the United States and Idaho. What often would start out as business meetings, usually turned into extended family vacations of adventure and exploring the country. Ivan loved camping, fishing, and hunting and enjoyed many outdoor excursions with family and friends. Ivan is survived by three children, Terry (Debbie) of Sioux Falls So. Dakota, Helen of Gooding, ID, and Guy of Shoshone ID.; two grandchildren, Angela (Sarah) of Minneapolis, Minnesota and Tom of Sioux Falls, So. Dakota; two great-grandchildren Addie and Lexi; and numerous nieces and nephews. The family also wishes to express thanks to Jane Houst and Steven Stock for their friendship and companionship given to Ivan. In consideration for safety precautions due to Covid guidelines, graveside services only were held on Tuesday, January 12, 2021 at the Shoshone Cemetery. Another celebration of life gathering will be announced later this year. Funeral arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service – Shoshone Chapel. Memorial contributions can be made to the Ivan and Esther Hopkins Horticulture Scholarship with the University of Idaho Foundation; or to Golden Year’s Senior Center in Shoshone.
