Should I Shovel the Snow Off My Roof?
With all of the snow our area has been receiving, a lot of people have been shoveling it off their roofs to prevent damage. The question is, “do they really need to?” There are many factors that go into making that decision: where you live, roofing material, pitch (steepness), and the type of snow. Where you live is important because different places have different ordinances that regulate snow load. If you live in Camas County, the standard snow load requirement is 100 pounds per square foot (psf). If you live on the north side of the Camas Prairie, the snow load is 125 psf, and in West Magic it’s 80 psf. As you go south into Gooding and Lincoln counties, the
snow load can be as low as 30 psf. If your home was built to code, the above numbers are good guideline. If you have an older home or a manufactured home, other issues come into play. A steep roof is inherently stronger than a flat one (less than 3/12 pitch). The surface (metal or shingles) does not add strength, but metal roofs will slide the snow off better. For homes with shingles (can be plastic, asphalt, fiberglass, etc.) the main issue is preventing ice dams. In under-insulated home, snow melts along the eave and then re-freezes to form a ridge of ice. As more snow melts, the water can start to move up under the shingles and leak into your home. continued on page 3 .....

Thirty Antelope Die Trying to Cross Frozen Snake River By Roger Phillips, Public Information Specialist On Sunday, Jan. 15, ice anglers at Lake Walcott (just south of Minidoka) notified Fish and Game staff that about 500 pronghorn had attempted to cross the frozen reservoir. They said about 200 made it across, then a portion of the group spooked and ran onto an extremely slick section of ice, where they were slipping and falling. The remaining antelope in the herd turned back and returned to shore. Fish and Game staff investigated that afternoon and found 47 pronghorn stranded in the middle of the frozen river. Due the remote area and fading light, staffers decided to gather equipment and mount a rescue the following morning. Idaho Fish and Game staff on Jan. 16 euthanized 20 pronghorn antelope that were injured and stranded on the ice while attempting to cross the Snake River at Lake Walcott. Fish and Game staff also rescued six pronghorns, and another 10 were killed and partially consumed by coyotes.
Fish and Game staff and state wildlife veterinarian Mark Drew were on the ice by 9 a.m. and used an airboat to reach the animals. They found 36 pronghorn remaining, but 10 of those had been killed by predators. Crews were able to get six uninjured pronghorns into the airboat and transport and release them back on shore. Drew examined all the stranded animals and determined that the other 20 had suffered significant injuries due to slipping on the ice and dislocating hips and shoulders. Those animals were euthanized, and the meat was salvaged, processed and is being donated to people in need. “At least they’re going to be used. That’s the only silver lining,” Regional Supervisor Toby Boudreau said. The Lake Walcott area is a traditional migration route for wintering pronghorns, but this was an unusual event. “I have never seen anything like it in my 26-year career,” regional wildlife manager Daryl Meints said.

Legislative Update from Representative Steve Miller Week One-January 9-13, 2017
Current Events We have now completed the 2nd week of the 64th session of the Idaho Legislature; and it’s been busy!! Election year results in reorganization of the House leadership, committee assignments, offices and House floor seating. The House leadership remained unchanged: Speaker Scott Bedke, Majority Leader Mike Moyle, Assistant Majority Leader Brent Crane and Caucus Leader John Vander Woude. My desk on the floor is next to where I was last year. My office is East Garden (EG) 43 which is the upper level on the north side of the hallway. Pretty good digs! My committee assignments are the same: Joint Appropriation Finance Committee (JFAC), Agricultural Affairs and Resources and Conservation. These committees serve our District quite well. I was ad hoc member of the Economic Outlook Committee which hears a variety of information designed to help forecast the revenue for the fiscal years 2017, 2018 and 2019. The FY17 (current fiscal year) target and FY18 were set at and later adopted by JFAC at $3,3354.5 (5% growth) and $3,507.4 million (4.6% growth) respectively. Thus, there is an anticipated increase of revenue of $152.9 million from the current fiscal year (FY17) to next fiscal year (FY18). To help put things in perspective, the education salary ladder increase is expected to be $58 million, or over 1/3 of the new money in the budget. There was a woman’s march Saturday morning in Boise. Estimates of 3,000 marched from Idaho street to the Capitol in the snow this morning. It was timed to be concurrent with the Women’s March in Washington DC today. We now have a new president, 45th president of the United States. I think the next weeks will be very interesting! State of the State Governor Otter presented the State of the State before joint session of the House and Senate. It is a deliberate process with pomp and ceremony in seating the Senate, the Supreme Court, and the State Officers in the House Chamber to hear the Governor’s presentation. His budget prioritizes education, limited growth of government and strategic investments providing core services. A summary of budget highlights is available at dfm.idaho.gov Judiciary Report Chief Justice Roger Burdick addressed the House with the Judiciary report. There are pro-
posed changes in various Judge salaries and the Odyssey implementation is coming along. House Session & Votes H1, the first bill of the session, amended the Administrative Procedures Act to reflect the language in HJR 5 defining the term “in whole or in part.” The bill passed 66-2-2. The House Session may be viewed live at: www. idahoptv.org Joint Finance & Appropriations Committee (JFAC) There are 10 new members on JFAC, 7 from the Senate and 3 from the House. We have addressed supplemental and deficiency funding and heard 25 presentations from the Department of Finance to the Commission for the Blind & Visually Handicapped. Presentations will continue to the middle of February when appropriation motions will begin. The State Controller’s office is moving toward updating the state computer system at an estimated cost of $102 million. The current system has been in place so long that there are only a few people left that can write code for it. Agricultural Affairs Committee The Ag committee has begun reviewing rules and hearing various reports. The Idaho Association of Conservation District’s Secretary Steve Becker reported on the North Central Idaho Wildfire Restoration group inventory and assessment report. They receieved an enormous amount of cooperation and information that will enable landowners and municipalities to address restoration concerns as a result of the 2015 Nez Perce-Clearwater fires. I believe this will become a template for wildfire restoration around the state. Resources & Conservation Committee Resources committee has heard 6 Fish & Game rules and approved 5 of them. The last rule sets grizzly bear hunting areas and times and the committee is reviewing the memorandum of agreement with Wyoming and Montana regarding hunting grizzly bears. It is an honor to serve as your Representative in the Idaho House of Representatives. Please forward this update to anyone you feel would be interested in receiving it. If you would like to be added to or removed from the email list, please let me know at smiller@safelink.net.

...but never Compromising the Truth.
To Shovel or Not To Shovel
If you have this problem (you’ll know because of the big icicles hanging off the eaves - pretty, but a bad sign), the best solution is more insulation. The other fix is to shovel the roof. But, you want to know “when” to shovel. Fresh snow can weigh as little as 6 to 8 pounds per square foot and heavy wet snow as much as 12 pounds. Wind packed snow or snow that has sat around for a while can weigh 20 to 25 pounds. The general rule of thumb in most areas is to calculate it at 20 psf. So, if you have 3 feet of snow on your roof, it
will weigh somewhere between 20 to 60 pounds (per square foot). If you live in Fairfield and your home is built to code, you should be fine. If you live in Gooding or Shoshone and you have that much snow, get to work... quick. Of course, there are potential dangers in shoveling a roof: falling off the roof or ladder, overexertion, or having snow slide on top of someone. One last thing to consider. We still have February ahead of us and if the winter continues as it has, it might be better to shovel earlier rather than later.

© Are you just about at your armpit’s wits as far as shoveling snow? This year, state wide, we have had above average snowfall. In fact, in the Treasure Valley (Boise, Idaho to Ontario, Oregon) they are setting snowfall records. So far, this year is the second heaviest snowfall recorded. If I’m not mistaken, we may have reached first place. The snow is causing a little havoc. Streets are unable to be cleaned and there is no place to put snow if they are. Budgets of cities are not set for so much snow. Buildings have surpassed their snow loads causing collapses. Many senior citizens are working past their abilities trying to stay ahead of the snow or to save structures. Schools have had record snow days (days off because of snowy weather and below freezing temperatures). I have shoveled my driveway so many times that with the snow and rain, I have created an ice skating rink. Someone said the hockey team is wanting to practice in my driveway. Saturday past, after shoveling the first half of my mom’s three foot high snow capped roof, I was at my house walking around the front of my box van truck. I slipped on my skating rink, and immediately my arms flew out to brace my fall. I fell into the grille of my truck. My hand went through the grille. I’m perfectly fine, not hurt. The hurt is the thought that I just broke my grille - it was plastic. What do manufactures expect one to do in an accident situation... play checkers with broken plastic pieces??? Things aren’t made like they used to be, not even the plastics. A large bug at sixty miles per hour could do the same damage.

When I arrive home today (Monday), I came home to more snow. My latch on my truck door didn’t click tight and my cab was filled with snow. On this same truck, I had a battery charger on it (the alternator is going out and I’ve not been home during business hours to replace it). In order to back the tractor/trailer from work into my driveway and not be stuck like I was a few weeks ago, I had to shovel snow. Since it was dark, I turned the headlights on in the box van. I thought I would rotate trucks around so I could use mine. I took off the battery charger and let the truck run while I shoveled. When the shoveling was done I went to move my box van. A loud crunching sound was made. “Oh no, not my snow shovel!” Under the truck was my plastic battery box cover in seven large pieces and more the size of checkers. Dark night, dark plastic, and a dark moment (the battery box lid used to fit really well). Saturday, after breaking my grille, I decided to use my tractor to help me “shovel” snow. The blade was put on after many attempts at getting back to the blade and having to push and pull the tractor out (the tread on the tractor is slim at best). Previously I had taken 600 pounds of calcium chloride (fluid used for weight) out of each of my back tires. I did it so the tractor could pull in tractor pulls and be in its proper weight class. I ended up shoveling out the tractor more than I was blading snow. It was parked and I was back to shoveling by hand. This is my “Cup of Tee” with a used snow shovel for sale.

Please... DON’T feed me!
by Wayne Wakkinen, Regional Wildlife Manager
As the snow piles up, we get reports from the public that deer and elk have come down from the mountains and are looking hungry. Some think feeding deer and elk will help the animals survive the rough winter months. They don’t understand why Fish and Game is reluctant to start a feeding program. But there are good reasons to be cautious about feeding wildlife. Wild animals are well-adapted to survive most winters around here. If animals are in good condition going into winter, they will be able to survive even with cold temperatures and deep snow. Although people have good intentions and only want to help, feeding can lead to problems that result in a higher death rate than if nothing is done. Here are some good reasons to hold off on providing food for deer and elk:
Predation: Feeding sites can attract predators, such as mountain lions, because deer or elk are concentrated and found in the same spot every day. Without feeding, animals are more spread out and it is harder for the predator to predict where potential prey may be. Feeding can also bring predators closer to your house, possibly resulting in the loss of family pets. Disease: Animals that are concentrated at a feed site can pass infectious diseases among themselves rapidly, resulting in more sick animals than if feed is not provided. Eye and respiratory infections and more common in animals gathered at feeding sites. Digestive Problems: Deer and elk digestive systems are set up to digest food differently throughout the year.

Gloria Daphne Knowles, age 87, a former resident of Shoshone and Kimberly, passed away peacefully on Sunday, January 15, 2017 with her family by her side at St. Luke’s Medical Center in Twin Falls. Gloria was born on February 7, 1929 in Flemington, Missouri, the daughter of George and Geneva Holt. She was the third of seven children. In 1934 she moved with her parents to a farm between Shoshone and Dietrich and attended the Shoshone schools. She worked on the farm alongside the hired men during the depression and war years. Her siblings always said that she could work as hard as any of the other workers planting and harvesting the crops. She graduated from Shoshone High School in 1947. Gloria married Leo Knowles on June 2, 1947 in Elko, Nevada. They were later divorced. She was a waitress and cook for the Manhattan Café in Shoshone during the 1950s and the 1960s where she made the best duck soup and almond duck in the area. She later met Robert Tucker of Twin Falls, who joined with others to become partners leasing the Redfish Lake Lodge, where she was chief cook and bottle washer during the late 1960s and early 1970s. It was here that she met The Three Stooges while they visited the Sawtooth Valley. They mentioned to her they were in dire need of haircuts. Since mom was also the resident barber for the lodge, she cut Moe, Larry and Curly Joe’s hair. In lieu of payment they presented a one-act slapstick comedy routine for her. It was a great memory that she often shared. She and Robert then settled in Kimberly where they lived. Robert passed away in 1990. Gloria spent her time in Kimberly working as a cook at the senior center and also working at Jessie’s Ceramics, where she worked for many years delicately painting thousands
