They have already taken steps to increase appeal and applicability, adding a one-day “Living Lab” session at Boise State University for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) teachers with the most recent academy, held in June. “The intent is to train teachers to incorporate aviation into their classes through skills and workshops they learn in our teacher’s academy while working hand-in-hand with the students,” Schoen said. “To entice them to come, we are infusing our program with STEM-related emphasis and activities.” The Idaho Division of Aeronautics has partnered with Rich Stowell, a master in Aerobatics, pilot, author and instructor, to extend their services.

from the Editor

For over a decade, newspapers have been scrambling to incorporate web sites and social media into their businesses, and yet, this effort has been mostly about trying to pour new wine into old wineskins. Some of you may recognize this as a Biblical metaphor told by Jesus in three of the Gospels. The practical reasoning behind this metaphor is that wineskins were exactly that... skin, usually goat skin. New wineskins were flexible and stretched as the fresh wine continued to ferment. Old wineskins, however, were already stretched and often became brittle. If you put new or fresh wine into an old wineskin, the fermentation would burst the container, and both the wine and the container would be lost. Many newspapers are creating fantastic web sites that feature, not only the news stories from their print editions, but videos that tell those stories as well. Most newspaper web sites offer readers the ability to interact and comment on stories. While the comments can sometimes get out of hand, it is no different than allowing people to write “letters to the editor.” The problem is that the basic business model has not changed. Newspapers still cling to advertising as the primary source of revenue. Certainly, there are ways to generated revenue from the internet, but the profit margin is extremely small. It takes hundreds, if not thousands, of internet readers/viewers to generate the same profit as a print newspaper. To make a profit, newspapers must increase their customers exponentially. The New York Times recently announced a big increase in digital subscribers, an increase fueled mostly by a screaming deal - shop around and you can get unlimited access to NYTimes.com for up to 3 months, all for just $1. Digital or print, newspapers keep subscription rates low - generally to just cover the cost of mailing/delivery - because more circulation means more advertising. However, some newspapers are trying to create a new wineskin. continued next week...

Cup of Tee

The coffee tastes like mud! It probably should because it was fresh ground... a few days ago. To say you a cup of mud would refer to a cup of thick coffee. During the cattle drives of the west, hot coffee was a desired staple. Sometimes supplies were hard to get or they weren’t replenished often. To stretch coffee the same grounds were used over and over with a pinch of fresh coffee to keep the flavor. You didn’t want to be the person who got the last cup because most of it would be coffee grounds. To coin a phrase, thick as mud probably comes from the last cup of coffee or from the bottom of the coffee pot. But, to have mud in you eye doesn’t mean you saw who had the last cup of cof-

fee, merely the contents of early brew that weren’t filtered. Filtering was not early concept. To have mud in your eye in Fairfield could relate to the fact that you are a person who is pushing behind a stuck vehicle. As vehicles start to spin the wheels, the mud is kicked up in your face. It always happens when the driver accelerates too fast or you are wearing your best clothes. To be a stick in the mud refers to an individual who has undesirable qualities. They may be from the same person who was pushing the stuck rig. Fresh wet earth does have a smell. Editor’s Message: Transmission interrupted. Stop. Will have to continue next week. Stop.

Processing Wild Game

By Roger Phillips, Public Information Specialist

We love deer and elk steaks, but you can only get so many off an animal. That means lots of wild game meat is ground into burger, but there are other options that make tasty meals and snacks. Many hunters have their big game animals processed by professional butchers. If that’s the case, chances are good you will end up with lots of ground meat. Don’t worry, you can still use that meat for nearly everything below. If you do your own butchering, you have more options. And a quick note about processing the meat before it’s ground. Deer or elk burger has a reputation for having “gamey” flavor, which is usually not a compliment, but it can be just as tasty as steaks of you process it with a few things in mind.

Trim, then trim some more

You want as much lean, red meat as possible. Trim as much membrane as you can, which is the white or silvery tissue that connects muscle. Trim the fat, too. Without going into great detail, deer or elk fat is different that fat in beef or pork. Usually deer and elk fat tastes bad. That isn’t a universally held opinion, and some people say it tastes fine. The flavor of fat is partially dependent on what the animal was eating, but you will rarely have better tasting meat if you don’t trim the fat. The goal is to get as close as you can to pure, red meat going into the grinder or slow cooker. Meat you plan to grind can be almost any size as long as it fits into your grinder, but chunks about an inch or two in diameter, or smaller, tend to grind more easily. continued on page 6...

Non-profit groups, local and state agencies, tribes and educational institutions can apply for grants of up to $240,000 each to help protect, enhance and conserve forests in Idaho. The Landscape Scale Restoration, Western Fire Managers, and Hazard Fuels Reduction Grants fund activities that support local or state initiatives and address issues identified in county wildfire protection plans or the Idaho Forest Action Plan. The Idaho Forest Action Plan is a long-term, coordinated strategy for reducing threats to Idaho’s forests while increasing the social, economic and environmental benefits they provide. The Idaho Department of Lands (IDL) is requesting project pre-proposals for the grants. Within each grant program, a limited number of project pre-proposals will be selected for full development and competition with other applicants across the West. IDL will hold a webinar on October 30, 2017 to explain the types of projects that qualify and how to build successful project pre-proposals. To sign up for the webinar, e-mail Jennifer Russell at jrussell@idl.idaho.gov. Project pre-proposals are due January 22, 2018. More information about the grants and examples of past projects can be found at http://www.idl.idaho.gov/grants/index.html The IDL administers the grants, which are funded through the U.S. Forest Service State and Private Forestry branch.

Summer sausage, Pepperoni sticks. Some of these things require a little more work, but the result is well worth the extra effort. More Tips For Processing Game Meat Pay attention to sanitary guidelines and cooking temperatures. Use a meat thermometer to ensure meat has reached the proper temperature when smoking or drying. You know what flavors you like and dislike, but don’t be afraid to experiment. If it’s a new recipe, start with a small batch. If it doesn’t turn out how you like, you can change it for your next batch. If you’re making patty sausage, cook some as soon as it’s done and try it. Add more seasoning if needed. When freezing, don’t put too much meat into one package, one meal is enough. Take advantage of prepackaged seasoning mixes. They take a lot of the hassle out of figuring out which spices to use and how much, and many are created for wild game, not domestic meats. Get a kitchen scale that will weigh about 10 pounds of meat. It will ensure you get the right ratio of game meat to pork, pork fat, or beef fat. Use a vacuum sealer if you plan to freeze summer sausages, jerky or pepperoni for later use. It will prevent freezer burn or drying. ~ Legal Notices ~ Legal Notices ~ Legal Notices ~ Legal Notices ~
