Survival Tips for Hunting
(or anytime you are in the woods)
Every hunting season, hunters get lost in the woods, and while most escape no worse than tired, chilled and hungry, the hazards of being lost in Idaho's woods shouldn't be underestimated. Hunters can take precautions and prepare for an unexpected situations in the woods. Know the area you're hunting Always be conscious of your surroundings, prominent points, river or creek drainages, and occasionally turn around and look behind you so you will remember what it looks like when you're coming back. If you're on a trail, don't hesitate to put a temporary marker at intersections. Things can look different on your return, especially if you return in the dark. hunter using their cellphone to check gps location Don't rely solely on electronics Devices like GPS, cell phones and two-way radios are handy, but dead batteries and other malfunctions render them useless. A map and compass are less likely to fail, but you also have to know how to use them. Tell someone your plans and set a check-in time Often hunters are out longer than expected, especially when they are pursuing big game animals far from a road. You may want to set an absolute deadline and have someone who can alert the authorities if you haven't returned, or contacted someone by that time. Ditto for your hunting partner. Hunters often get separated, so set up a rendezvous time and place and decide in advance when a third party will seek help if you or your partners do not return in time. Watch for extreme weather changes You're more likely to get lost or turned around in poor visibility when it's raining, foggy or snowing, which are also conditions when it's potentially more hazardous to be lost in the woods. Cold, wet weather can mean the difference between an uncomfortable situation and life-threatening one. Remember even on clear days temperatures can change dramatically. A warm, sunny afternoon can quickly drop to subfreezing after dark, and daily temperature swings of 30 to 40 degrees are fairly common during fall. young bull moose in snow and trees November 2011 head shot James Deitrick Dress for, or carry clothes, for the worst weather you're likely to encounter It's also common to quickly go from warm and sunny to raining or snowing. Dressing in layers is a good way to account for weather changes, and wearing a daypack means you can stash clothes when they're not in use and keep them handy when you need them. Avoid cotton clothing, which is comfortable when dry but... continued on page 6...

Fighting Hatred & Discrimination
It is hard to imagine the horror perpetrated against Israel by terrorists this past weekend. And yet... it is ironic that this crime against humanity took place on a weekend set aside to remember our own crimes against certain people. In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue, to "discover" the new world. There are many who say this was a terrible thing because Columbus started the oppression of Indigenous people in America. There are two problems with this idea: One, the original oppression was started by the Spanish, not Columbus (he was Italian); and two, the sailing trip by Columbus was mostly a footnote in European history. The primary significance of 1492 was the expulsion of Jews and Muslims from Spain. Many scholars believe Columbus was Jewish. However, what is not debatable, is that many of his sailing crew were Jewish, and they were not sailing to discover a new world... they were sailing to save their lives. Four centuries later, another group of people began coming to America. They too were sailing for their lives. Between 1880 and 1914, nearly 4 million Italians immigrated to the United States, and they were not generally welcome. Because they were the poorest of the poor, they were uneducated and easily taken advantage of by criminals. They faced extreme hatred and discrimination, so much so that by some accounts, more Italians were lynched than black Americans. To fight this discrimination, Italians lobbied for a day to recognize Columbus (an Italian) as a symbol of their patriotism and Italian loyalty to the nation. In 1934, the 12th of October became Columbus Day, but it would not be a federal holiday until 1971. Hatred and discrimination against our fellow humans seems to be a permanant part of our society. So, it is important that we remember the true significance of holidays like Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Columbus Day. If we allow ourselves to forget... what took place in Israel this weekend will soon be happening to us.

2023 Mayor’s Walking Challenge
A record 105 Idaho mayors are participating in the Mayor’s Walking Challenge, a program of the Blue Cross of Idaho Foundation for Health that promotes the importance of physical activity. The challenge takes place during October and is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. Participation in the annual event has increased each year, starting with 14 mayors in 2014 when the challenge was only available in the Treasure Valley. The program expanded regionally and became a statewide event in 2018. Mayors have earned more than $519,000 for their communities in the previous nine challenges. Idaho mayors can earn up to $1,000 for their efforts and have two options to earn funds: • Walk an average of 5,000 steps a day during October to earn $500 for their community • Walk an average of 10,000 steps a day during October to earn $1,000 for their community Those funds support a variety of projects and programs that promote a healthy lifestyle, including playgrounds, physical education equipment for schools, park amenities, scholarships for youth programs, and more. “The Mayor’s Walking Challenge continues to grow, and we appreciate the more than 100 Idaho mayors who are walking this year,” said Kendra Witt-Doyle, Executive Director, Blue Cross of Idaho Foundation for Health. “Walking is one of the best things people can do for their health. Mayors can be role models, and walking sets a good example about the importance of exercise and physical activity.” Area Mayors participating this year include: Rebecca Vipperman (Wendell), Terry Lee (Fairfield), Tom Naylor (Richfield), William Galloska (Glenns Ferry), and Sara Mecham (Carey).
Trees at Mountain View Cemetery Bundy Addition
The Camas County Cemetery District added 17 new trees to the landscape of the Bundy addition at the Mountain View Cemetery. These are larger trees that hopefully will survive for many years. A drive by might be warranted. The trees were paid for by donations given to the district for beautification. Folks from Fairfield and Camas County made the bulk of the donations, however, many people who grew up here, or have family plots in the cemetery also donated. The cemetery commissioners, a spouse and friends are helping with the watering of the trees. Free labor. The pickup being used to pull the trailer is a personal vehicle since the Cemetery District owns no vehicles. Actually the only part of this project paid for by tax payer dollars is the trailer, the water tank, the hoses and the fittings. A special thanks to all of you who donated or participated with your labor to make this project possible. We appreciate everyone’s generosity!

Terri Harbison
Terri Harbison, 70, of Hagerman, Idaho, passed away September 29, 2023 with her daughter and son-in-law holding her hands after a tough fight with illness. Terri was born to George and Eileen Atwood on August 25, 1953, in Elko, Nevada. She spent her younger years in Lamoille and Elko, NV with her older brother, younger sister, and younger brother. As a teenager, Terri moved to California with her mom. During her senior year, Terri moved back to Elko with her dad to finish her high school. During this time in her life, she gained bonus brothers and a sister whom she cherished throughout her life and a bonus mom, Cheri Atwood, with whom she developed a very special bond. It was also during these late teenage years when she met the love of her life, Thomas Harbison, in Elko. Eager for their lives together to begin, the couple eloped to Reno, NV in 1972. They were a force to be reckoned with, married happily for 48 years, before Tom’s passing in 2020. In April 1974 they welcomed the arrival of their first bundle of joy, William and in 1982 God blessed them with another miracle, Angel. Terri had a huge heart for children and dedicated many years being a para-professional at Hagerman Elementary School. In 2000, Terri decided to go to college and fulfill her dream of becoming a teacher where she graduated in 2005. She taught for many years at Bliss Elementary School and her students became “her kids”. She truly loved each and every kid that walked through the door and that continued after graduation. After Terri retired from education, she continued to teach through her church leading many women’s Bible studies. Terri leaves a legacy that shows her servant spirit. Over the years she brought family and friends into her home, she always had an open-door policy, and she loved with all her heart. She served the schools she worked for, her Church families, and so much more. Her faith in God was an example to anyone that met her. Family was everything to Terri and her life revolved around her grandkids. She was happiest when they were with her. She showed them daily that a strong foundation built around God and family is all that you need. She loved with everything she had and would always give a helping hand to someone in need. Terri is survived by: her daughter - Angel (Aaron) Beutler of Hagerman; her grandkids - Candace, Kayli, Kaden, and Karli Beutler; step-mother - Cheri Atwood, of Boise; brother - Chris Atwood of Boise; sister - Mickey Martinez of Hagerman; brother David (Jane) Cobb of Reno, NV; brother - Richard Cobb of Henderson NV; sister - Cathy Vega of Reno, NV; many adopted kids and grandkids; and many, many other close family members. She is preceded in death by her love - Tom Harbison; her son - Will Harbison; her father - George Atwood; her mother - Eileen Sokoff; her brother - Danny Atwood; and her brother - Johnny Cobb. A celebration of life will be held on Friday, October 6, 2023 at 2:00 pm at the Hagerman City Park in Hagerman. Inurnment will follow at the Hagerman Cemetery. Cremation arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel.

Extended Deadline Nears For Filing Income Tax Returns
Time's running out to file your 2022 Idaho income tax return. The Idaho State Tax Commission says taxpayers who qualified for an automatic extension to file must send in their return and full payment by October 16. "Over 950,000 individual income tax returns have been filed so far this year," Tax Commission Chairman Jeff McCray said. "We expect to receive around 50,000 more in the month of October." Idaho law allows you to avoid a penalty for filing a late return if you have an extension. But you'll still owe 5% interest on any income tax due that you didn't pay by April 18, the original due date. Your tax payment is due when you file the return, regardless of the extension. You can file your income tax return electronically, and you might qualify to prepare and file it online for free. Visit tax.idaho. gov/freefile to learn more. You also can pay taxes electronically through tax.idaho.gov/ epay. The free Quick Pay option lets you make a payment without creating a special account. If you're expecting a refund, please note that all tax returns go through fraud detection and accuracy checks before the Tax Commission issues any refunds. Please see tax.idaho.gov/refundinfo to find out more. For more information visit tax.idaho.gov. Call (208) 334-7660 in the Boise area or toll free at (800) 972-7660. or...

The American Red Cross is facing a severe blood shortage as the national blood supply is dwindling after a lack of donations this summer. Hurricane Idalia and other events have strained the supply. "As a long-time blood donor and supporter of the American Red Cross, I urge healthy citizens of Idaho to step up and help their neighbors by making an appointment to donate blood as soon as possible," Governor Little said. Due to a shortfall of about 30,000 donations late this summer, blood supply fell by 25%, so the American Red Cross is working around the clock to meet the needs of hospitals to treat patients. Donors of all blood types are urgently needed to ensure patients receive critical medical care. The American Red Cross is also calling specifically for platelet donors and type O blood donors. The blood shortage could impact patients who need surgery, victims of car accidents and other emergencies, patients suffering from cancer, and many more. Right now, eligible and healthy donors are strongly urged to make an appointment at RedCrossBlood.org to find a blood drive and schedule an appointment today, or by calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

provides no warmth when wet. Modern, synthetic fabrics will insulate even when damp or wet and will typically dry faster when they get wet. They are more comfortable in nearly all conditions than cotton. Wool is also better than cotton, and modern merino wool is itch-free and comfortable in a wide range of temperatures. Be prepared to build a fire
Whether matches, lighter or other devices, carry a fire starter that's weatherproof, and it's good to have a backup. Know how to start a fire in all weather conditions, but remember cold weather doesn't end fire season, so never leave a fire that's not completely extinguished. Bring a flash light or headlamp and extra batteries They're valuable for navigating in early mornings or after dark and keep you from getting lost, as well as just being handy for a variety of purposes. If you get lost... warmth, shelter and water should be your priorities You can go days without food, but staying warm and hydrated are critical to your survival. You're not going to starve if you're out longer than anticipated, but it's never a bad idea to carry extra food with you. Commercial survival kits provide most of the essentials, but many are overkill, so don't carry more than you will likely need. Think about exactly what you would want for an extended stay in the woods and keep those items with you at all times. If you get lost, admit it to yourself and prepare to spend the night out. Build a fire for warmth and set up shelter. Wandering around will make it harder for search and rescue personnel to find you. It also fuels your anxiety, preventing you from thinking clearly and making good decisions. Don't forget your vehicle and ATV Have your vehicle ready for the backcountry and prepared for minor breakdowns, such as flat tires or dead batteries. A separate survival kit for your vehicle is a good idea. Keep a dry set of clothes in your vehicle This isn't necessarily a survival matter, but being soggy and wet can range from uncomfortable to miserable. Changing into warm, dry clothes for the drive back to home or to camp is a big bonus for a small amount of effort. ~ Legal Notices ~ Legal Notices ~ Legal Notices ~ Legal Notices ~
