Looking Your Best for Christmas
Almost twenty years ago, Crystal McClain was planning to become a physical therapist, and to pay her way through college, she took a job at J.C. Penny’s hair salon in Twin Falls.

Seasonal Closure on Fairfield Ranger District
Effective December 1, 2017 the area along the South Fork of the Boise River drainage east of Featherville to Couch Summit and up Little Smoky Creek to Red Rock Creek will be closed to snowmobiles and other motorized traffic for the protection of wintering elk. According to David Skinner, Wildlife Biologist for the Fairfield Ranger District, these roads are normally closed by snow. “Previous to 2000, the motorized closure went into effect when the snow was deep enough to physically block wheeled vehicles and cover elk forage,” Skinner stated. “December 1st is now the closure date reflected in the Sawtooth National Forest Travel Plan.” According to Mark Fleming, Regional Wildlife Habitat Manager for the Idaho Department of Fish and Game in Jerome, motorized travel near winter-stressed elk could be detrimental to their survival, as it forces elk to expend energy reserves to seek security. This energy is desperately needed for survival. Repeated disturbance can result in death of the animals if these reserves are exhausted. Young animals and those in poor condition are most likely to be affected by these disturbances. Vehicle closure signs will be posted east of Featherville where the snowplows turn around on the Ketchum-Featherville Road (Forest Road #227); at Couch Summit; on Little Smoky Road near the mouth of Red Rock Creek; and on the Buttercup Road in the Willow Creek drainage. Violators of these closures are subject to fines. The Forest Service has made provisions to provide access to people owning property within the closed area. Permits are available for property owners who need to access their property in the closed area. “There are many excellent snowmobiling opportunities on the Sawtooth National Forest outside the winter range closure,” Skinner added. “We greatly appreciate everyone’s cooperation in respecting this closure. The closure is in effect until May 1.” For additional information about the Sawtooth National Forest call 208-737-3200 or visit the Sawtooth National Forest website at www.fs.usda.gov/sawtooth and like us on Facebook.

The law men ushered everyone further off the street in hopes they themselves could get closer. The exits out of town were still clear. What lay up the road was anyone’s guess. What you have witnessed was a construction crew tearing down a bank. One thinks of a bank as being a solid financial place that would endure the times. Apparently, the times may not be so good. Maybe free checking and all the other free benefits shut the doors. Maybe they speculated and too many loans were made. Maybe the economy has no futures in it. How many times have you seen banks change hands and become another bank? I myself have seen this many times. It was odd for me to see the construction company tearing down the bank, but it is not the first I’ve seen. In fact, it is the second one I have seen torn down within a month. Maybe the use of plastic creates a no-need policy for banks. They don’t need tellers to make transactions. The ATMs can be open all night and holidays with no sleep involved. On a funny note, I also just saw a two-story church that covered half a city block be torn down and replaced with a credit union. To do that process takes a lot of change or a belief that doesn’t involve religion. The hand shake deals of yesteryear in banking are slipping out to be stories told only by a few. This is my “Cup of Tee” served on plastic.

The Courier NEWS • Wednesday, December 6, 2017 • News@Highway46.org Risch, Crapo, Simpson Applaud DOI’s Final Decision on Craters of the Moon National Monument
Serving with all Gentleness & Compassion...
Following the recommendation of Idaho’s representatives, DOI will make no modifications to Craters of the Moon National Monument
After a nearly eight-month review of National Monument designations under the Antiquities Act, U.S. Senators Jim Risch and Mike Crapo and U.S. Representative Mike Simpson today applauded the Department of Interior’s (DOI) decision to follow the delegation’s recommendation to make no modifications to Craters of the Moon National Monument. “The monument review was about hearing local voices and the people of Idaho, along with Senator Risch, Senator Crapo and Congressman Simpson
made it clear where they stand,” said Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke. “I’m grateful for their continued participation in the review and look forward to visiting Idaho again sometime soon.” “I have long held that state Governors and Legislators should have substantial input in the monument review process - not bureaucrats who live on the banks of the Potomac,” said Senator Risch. “I was pleased that DOI followed the delegation’s unanimous recommendation to make no modifications to Craters of the Moon.” “Effective federal land management decisions require meaningful input from the local stakeholders that live, work and depend on those lands in order to

foster both acceptable natural resource protections as well as resilient, self-sustaining economies in our rural communities,” said Senator Crapo. “ The Department of the Interior has made the right decision to honor the input and feedback from Idaho’s communities in not modifying Craters of the Moon.” “I applaud the Department of the Interior for honoring the local consensus Idahoans have created with Craters of the Moon,” said Congressman Simpson. “I worked with a diverse group of stakeholders over ten years ago to ensure Craters reflects Idaho values and can be enjoyed by outdoor enthusiasts. I am grateful Idahoans voices were heard and that this review reflects our local solution.”
