Fairfield Bond Election November 5, 2019
In 2009, following significant failures of the City’s Wastewater Collection System, the City of Fairfield embarked on a wastewater facility replacement project addressing the most critical areas. The project replaced approximately 70% of the City’s collection system. However, in December of 2017, the City received an Administrative Order from the EPA requiring the City to address the remaining problems with the Wastewater Treatment and Collection System. According to the EPA mandate, the upgrades to the system will need to be completed prior to December 2022. If the City does not comply with the directives set forth in the Order and complete the project in the designated timeline, significant financial penalties will be enforced on the City of Fairfield. In order to pay for the remaining portion of the project, City officials have determined that it is necessary to hold a bond election to secure $1.5 million in bond financing. The election has been scheduled for Tuesday, November 5, 2019. Sewer rates will see an increase in order to repay the bond. Public meetings have been scheduled in order to give residents an opportunity to learn more about the project and share their input. Wastewater System Replacement Project Bond Election Public Meeting Tuesday, October 8, 2019 and Tuesday, October 29, 2019 7:00 p.m. at the Senior Center - 129 Willow Avenue West If you are unable to attend the meeting, you may contact City Hall at 208.764.2333 with questions or to provide your input. Additional information regarding the project are available upon request at City Hall.

Sawtooth National Forest to Conduct Visitor Use Surveys
The National Visitor Use Monitoring (NVUM) survey is being conducted on the Sawtooth National Forest, beginning this October and continuing through September 30, 2020. The public will encounter University of Utah employees working on the Sawtooth National Forest in developed and dispersed recreation sites and along forest service roads. They will be out in all types of weather conditions, wearing bright orange vests and be near a sign that says “Traffic Survey Ahead”. The information gathered is useful for forest planning as well as local community tourism planning. It provides National Forest managers with an estimate of how many people actually recreate on the National Forest, what activities they engage in while there and how satisfied people were with their visit. Economic impact to the local economy is also captured in the survey. The survey gathers basic visitor information. Surveys are voluntary and all responses are confidential; names are not included. Interviews last about 10 minutes. Questions asked include: where you recreated on the Forest, how many people traveled with you, how long you were on the Forest, what other recreation sites you visited while on the Forest, and how satisfied you are continued on page 6..... with the facilities and services provided.

Kevin Lancaster at Bliss School District Named ISSA Superintendent of the Year
Kevin Lancaster has been an administrator in the small, rural Bliss School District since 1994. Over the last 25 years he has implemented several simple, yet highly effective practices that have created for Bliss a legacy of student success, high-quality education and community support. In order to facilitate student success from the outset, Lancaster and the Bliss School Board create equity by providing all start up supplies through the school. There are no class lists and no fees expected from those who are unable to pay. No one goes without -from shoes for soccer or basketball to Professional Technical Education participation, from club activity travel to driver’s education, from extra curricular activities to online classes. Lancaster’s priority is to narrow the gap and level the playing field as much as possible. “Happy teachers make happy students make happy parents make happy me,” Lancaster likes to say. He believes in the idea that administrators need to build teachers and create a place where they love to come to do their job. Rather than put on professional development with high-power motivational speakers, whose message may fade the next day, Lancaster has taken a much more long-term approach to “growing our own.” He recruits and retains high-quality educators and puts district money behind helping them earn higher education degrees. Bliss has mentored several school leaders that have gone on to serve as district and state-department level administrators around the state of Idaho. Community support is evident in the fact that Bliss has passed a Plant Facilities Levy with nearly 100% approval three times during Lancaster’s tenure. The approval rate is generated by the projects and maintenance on existing buildings. Lancaster feels that the district has managed resources very carefully and been able to complete massive maintenance projects on hundredyear-old facilities without additional taxes beyond that levy. Bliss patrons sustained their support and approved a bond levy to build an elementary school, which was completed in 2006. Highlights of Lancaster’s career include selection as a member of the Idaho Education Delegation to Ireland with Idaho Superintendent Marilyn Howard in 2005 and appointment to current Idaho Superintendent Ybarra’s cabinet earlier this year. Lancaster appreciates dearly the wisdom, mentoring and friendships he has garnered through ISSA and IASA, as well as the Idaho High School Activities Association, whose board he served from 2002-2015.
Medicare Enrollment - October 15th thru December 7th
Medicare health and prescription drug plan costs and coverage can change every year. SHIBA (Senior Health Insurance Benefits Advisors) highly recommends people with Medicare review their coverage before the enrollment period ends. Failing to compare and review coverage plan options increases the risk of spending more money on unnecessary health care costs down the road. In addition, with coverage changes, medications and services may no longer be covered by a previous year’s health plan. Beginning the first week of October, Certified Medicare Counselors from The Department of Insurance’s SHIBA Program will be available across the state. Medicare beneficiaries will have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with a trained Medicare counselor to compare and review their current Medicare Advantage plans, prescription drug plans, and new options available in 2020. In short, SHIBA counselors help people make informed decisions about their specific health insurance needs. SHIBA counselors will be available in several Idaho cities including Fairfield and Gooding. To make an appointment with a SHIBA Medicare Counselor near you, call 1-800-247-4422.

Mom was very generous with herself as so many of us passed through her life. She was overjoyed to have life experiences and shared many of them with her sister of heart – Lorraine Morrison. Thank you, Gooding for being a special part of Yvonne’s life. So.... We love you mom, Heaven has opened its gate and you are at peace with your loved ones. “Remember God will bless you if you ask him to” and “When you leave say a prayer.” A rosary service was held on Saturday, September 28, 2019 at St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church in Gooding, with a funeral mass following.

James Fredrick Bach
obit ua r ies
James Fredrick Bach, age 86, of Hagerman, Idaho passed away at his home on September 21, 2019 from congestive heart failure and COPD. James was born August 10, 1933 to Paul and Elna Bach in Oakley, Idaho and joined his sisters Barbara and Mary. He is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. James was known by many names to his family and friends – Papa, Dad, James, Jim, and Fred. Growing up, his family moved several times over the years and he attended many different schools starting in View where his father was the principal at the time. Then they moved to Burley to California to Oakley and then Hagerman where he graduated with the class of 1951. He married Donna Steele and they moved to Los Angeles, California, and lived for 13 years. Jim became a journeyman carpenter before moving his family back to Idaho in 1964. He continued his craft for the rest of his life even starting his own business - Jim Bach Construction - in the late 70’s. He and Donna were divorced and Jim moved to Clear Lake, California, to do a large custom construction project for his sister Barbara and her husband. 22 months later, he moved back to Idaho and worked on the Wayyakin project in Ketchum. Another job opportunity came open and he moved to Medford, Oregon. He married and bought a home in LaPine. He was divorced again and in just a few years, Idaho called him back home for good. During Jim’s life, he spent lots of time in the outdoors. He loved to camp, fish and hunt and shared every opportunity of doing that with his children. The family spent weekends in the summers and sometimes weeks, boating and fishing at Anderson Ranch Dam. His son Mark took him on several rafting trips including Hell’s Canyon as well as successful elk hunts over the years. James was predeceased by his parents, Paul and Elna; his sister Barbara; sister Mary; infant son, Eric; and son Paul. He is survived by his son Mark (Sandra) Bach of Buhl; daughter Melinda McKee (John Schrock) of Twin Falls; daughter Michelle Winn (Colin Junkins) of Spokane, Washington; and son Derek (Celene) Bach of Goodyear, Arizona; and 8 grandchildren, 14 great grandchildren, and 1 great-great grandchild, and many nieces and nephews that love him as Uncle Fred. Funeral services were held on Tuesday, October 1st, at the Hagerman Church of Latter Day Saints. Interment was at the Oakley Cemetery. The family would like to thank our Alliance angels, Connie and Mishell, for helping to take such good care of our dad. We suggest that, in lieu of flowers, a contribution can be made to the Shih Tzu Safe Haven in Kimberly. They accepted dad’s babies with open arms and we know he is grateful that they are in such a loving home.

Hunters: Brush Up On Trespassing Laws
by Roger Phillips, Public Information Supervisor
Hunters, anglers and other sportsmen and women should be aware of Idaho trespass laws before they head into the field. Trespass laws changed in 2018, but here are some basic things to remember: You need permission to be on private land. It’s the responsibility of the hunter/angler to know if they’re on private land. The laws affecting how landowners must post their property changed in recent years. Fines have been stiffened for trespass violations. “Trespass laws have changed, but the core philosophies have not,” said Idaho Fish and Game’s Enforcement Bureau Chief Greg Wooten. “It’s still the sportsman’s responsibility to know when they’re on private property and obtain permission to be there.” Hunters, anglers, trappers and other people should know that land is private and they are not allowed without permission if: The property is associated with a residence or business; Or cultivated; Or fenced or enclosed in a way that delineates the private property; Or unfenced and uncultivated but is posted with conspicuous “no trespassing’ signs or bright orange/ fluorescent paint at all property corners and boundaries where the property intersects navigable streams, roads, gates and rights-of-way entering the land and posted in a way that people can see the postings. Note: if private property adjoins or is contained within public lands, the fence line adjacent to public land should be posted with “no trespassing signs” or bright orange or fluorescent paint at the corners of the fence adjoining public land and at all navigable streams, roads, gates and rights-of-way entering the private land from public land and posted in a way that people can see the postings.
Steve's Quick Service
People can use a variety of tools to determine whether they’re on public or private lands, including maps, GPS, software (some of which also shows private land ownership), smart phone apps, and more. Hunters and anglers seeking permission to be on private lands should get written permission from the landowner. A permission form is available on page 2 of the 2019-20 Big Game Season and Rules booklet, at Fish and Game offices, and at any county Sheriff’s office. Other methods of permission are still legal, but written “is the most solid permission you can have,” Wooten said. Sportsmen and women should also beware of increased penalties for trespassing. Hunters and anglers have long faced a mandatory one-year revocation of hunting and fishing privileges if they are convicted of trespassing while engaging those activities. Mandatory license revocation continues under the law, but there are also steep fines for repeat offenders, and for a person convicted of trespassing three times within a 10-year period, there’s a minimum $5,000 fine, one to five year license suspension, and they could be charged with a felony.

About a third of the visitors will be asked to complete a confidential survey on recreation spending during their trip. “Although the survey is entirely voluntary, participation is extremely important so we can assess visitor experiences on the Forest and strive to make it a better place to visit,” said Bernadette Barthelenghi, Forest Recreation Staff Officer on the Sawtooth National Forest. “We would appreciate it if visitors would pull over and answer a few questions. It’s important for interviewers to talk with local people using the forest, as well as out-of-area visitors, so all types of visitors are represented in the study.” Information about the National Visitor Use Monitoring program can be found at www.fs.fed.us/recreation/programs/nvum/ For more information on the (Sawtooth) National Forest, visit www.fs.usda.gov
