Fairfield Gets New Cell Tower
When they first came out, cellular phones were mostly for emergency calls while traveling. Big and bulky (by modern standards) they were better than a CB radio, but not by much, and without a tower to relay your call, they were next to useless. In the last twenty years, cell towers have popped up everywhere. Some of them you hardly notice, either because they are camouflaged or they are far away. If you live in Fairfield, the closest tower is nearly ten miles away. The service isn’t bad, but some places in town are hit & miss for connecting a call, and using it for data (internet and email) it is not reliable at all. All that will be changing with the new Verizon tower right in the middle of Fairfield. Located behind the police/fire station, the tower will make lack-luster cellular phone service in Camas County a thing of the past.
While some residents are not happy with the spoiled view (the tower is quite prominent), cellular service has become an indispensable form of communication. Cell phones are more than just a way of calling someone, they are business. Mobile devices of every kind use cellular service to connect computers for emergency services, e-commerce, education, and more.

Gooding Capital For A Day
Each month since he has been in office, Governor C.L. “Butch” Otter has been bringing State government to Idahoans living outside Boise by making a different town in Idaho the state’s “Capital for a Day.” These meetings provide local residents an opportunity to have open discussions about government issues and public policy with Governor Otter, members of his Cabinet, and other senior State officials. The next “Capital for a Day” will be held in Gooding on Monday, December 18th, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Gooding Basque Center - 285 Euskadi Lane in Gooding. State officials joining Governor Otter and First Lady Lori Otter at Capital for a Day include Lieutenant Governor Brad Little, Idaho Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger Burdick, State Department of Agriculture Director Celia Gould, Department of Environmental Quality Director John Tippets, Department of Lands Director Tom Schultz, Department of Water Resources Director Gary Spackman, Idaho Lottery Director and State Liquor Division Administrator Jeff Anderson, Idaho State Police Colonel Ked Wills, Department of Commerce Chief Operations Officer Bobbi-Jo Meuleman, Division of Building Safety Administrator Chris Jensen, Office of Species Conservation Administrator Dustin Miller, and Idaho Rural Partnership Executive Director Jon Barrett. The department of Fish and Game, Health and Welfare, Labor, and Transportation also will have regional officials on hand to take questions. “Gooding has a rich historical legacy, both in agriculture and government. After all, both the city and county are named for a farmer and prominent local sheep man named Frank Gooding who went on to become a U.S. Senator and Governor of Idaho,” Governor Otter said. “Now southern Idaho’s booming dairy industry is driving growth in the Gooding area, but folks here are as interested as ever in how State government manages our resources and handles their tax dollars. Capital for a Day is a great chance for them to find out firsthand.”

Health Advisories Lifted On Area Reservoirs
South Central Public Health District (SCPHD), in conjunction with the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), has lifted the health advisories for Mormon Reservoir and Thorn Creek Reservoir. The advisories were issued in June 2017 for Mormon Reservoir and July 2017 for Thorn Creek Reservoir due to hazardous algae blooms (HABs). DEQ officials continued to monitor blue-green algae and associated toxins where HABs were present and have confirmed that blue-green algae levels for Mormon Reservoir and Thorn Creek Reservoir have returned to normal and toxin levels are below the safety threshold. SCPHD and DEQ advise users of the reservoirs to be cautious in and around areas where the algal blooms are still visible. Water users should always exercise caution around bodies of water with visible slime, surface scum, or a foul odor. High concentrations of toxin-producing bluegreen algae may cause illness to both humans and animals. Report any concerns to DEQ at 208-736-2190 or SCPHD at 208-737-5900. Need More Information? Visit DEQ’s website at: https://www.deq.idaho.gov/water-quality or visit phd5.idaho.gov, or call the Public Health Hotline 866-450-3594

A Night in Bethlehem
Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Caesar Augustus has issued a decree that a census will be taken of the Roman World and everyone must return to their hometown to register…. The Bible records that the Roman Census is what placed Joseph and Mary in Bethlehem that first Christmas! What would they have found as they entered this small village and waited for Mary’s baby to be born? Gooding First Christian Church invites you and your family to join them on Sunday, December 17th from 5-6:30pm as they journey back in time to “A Night in Bethlehem!” Come, enter the village through the City Gates before you and your family and friends wander through the bustling Bethlehem marketplace and discover what life was like when Jesus was born. You can visit the Carpenter’s shop, the Scribe’s tent, the Painter’s hut, the Metal shop and the Bethlehem Bakery as you interact with the shopkeepers and artisans and create a keepsake to remind you of the greatest gift the world has ever been given, Jesus. The Shepherds will be there to lead you to visit Mary and Joseph at the manger as they share the wonder and joy they experienced when God came to earth as a baby. Later, everyone will gather to celebrate and worship the newborn King. Gooding First Christian Church is located at 334 4th Avenue West.

New Web Services at CSI
After 15 months of intense planning and preparation, the College of Southern Idaho will launch several new web services on January 2, 2018. The new services include a redesigned public website, student portal, and employee portal. Students, faculty, and staff will also receive access to a suite of new software applications via Microsoft Office 365. These new services aim to help drive student success, simplify and protect access to online information, enhance campus collaboration, and increase operational efficiencies. According to Kevin Mark, CIO at the college, this project represents one part of a multi-year strategy to modernize CSI’s digital architecture by the year 2020. Thus far, CSI has completed several milestones of this strategy, starting with an overhaul of its operations for IT services and support. CSI also made significant improvements to critical IT infrastructure, including rebuilding the campus wireless system which now accommodates 3x the number of connections and covers 70% more geographic area than the previous system. Mark stated that this latest project will bring much-needed improvements to the online experience. He also noted that while Jan 2 represents a major milestone for CSI, it also starts a massive migration effort to convert more than 10,000 web pages and electronic documents 300 manual forms into automated web workflows from the old website to the new system. Mark went on to say that CSI’s public website and current student portal (MyCSI) will be taken offline December 29 – 31 while the new services are brought online. During this scheduled downtime, students will not be able to submit online applications or register for classes and the main csi.edu website will be inaccessible. For additional information contact Kimberlee LaPray at (208) 732-6299 or klapray@csi.edu.

Leon Eugene Goodman
John E Burgoyne
Leon Goodman passed away November 26, 2017 in Eagle, Idaho of natural causes, just shy of 98 years old. He was born in Meadows, Idaho on December 11, 1919 and raised in McCall by his parents Austin and Lula Goodman, the third of three boys. Leon’s youth was spent in McCall skiing, boating, and flying airplanes with his brother, Don. It was at this time he met his future wife in high school, Evelyn Shaw. He got his draft notice on his 18th birthday and joined the Army, 10th Mountain Division, Ski Troops. With their unique abilities with skiing and mountain climbing, this group of men made important advances in Italy. When the war ended Leon returned to marry his beloved Evelyn on June 26, 1946. After the war, Leon was on the US Ski Team and enjoyed teaching skiing in Sun Valley. He and Evelyn built their home, one of the first homes on Warm Springs Road, and their four children were born in the Lodge: Peter, Penny, Bob, and Denny. In 1960 Leon and family moved to Gooding where they opened a bowling alley, continuing to go to Sun Valley on the weekends. Leon and Evelyn retired from the bowling business when he was 75. The most important things in Leon’s life were his family, his friends, skiing, flying, and bowling. Leon always had a sparkle in his eyes and a story to tell. He was a mentor to his children and their friends. His advice was always right on and he had a knack for knowing just what to say. Truly a Good Man.

These gift certificates can be only be redeemed for hunting and fishing licenses at Fish and Game offices. Because of the need to confirm residency, a person can only buy a resident license for a spouse, a minor child, or for themselves. Non-resident licenses can be purchased for a friend or relative who lives out of state. Many of the license vendors sell store gift certificates that they will accept for license purchases. Many will also accept Visa gift cards for license purchases, so that is an additional convenient option for giving a license as a Christmas gift. Another great gift idea are entries for Super Hunt drawings for individual deer, elk, pronghorn or moose hunts, and Super Hunt Combo, which includes a tag for each of the four species. Winners can participate in any open hunt in the state for deer, elk, pronghorn or moose with a tag for that species, including general hunts and controlled hunts. Super Hunt tags are in addition to other tags, meaning if winners draw a controlled hunt tag or purchase a general season tag, they can still participate in these hunts as well as the Super Hunt. All other rules of individual hunts apply. Super Hunt entries are $6 each and Super Hunt Combo entries are $20 each. No license is needed to enter and hunters can enter as many times as the like. Entries can be purchased in the hunters name at any Fish and Game license vendor or on-line. The drawings for the Super Hunts will be in June and August 2018. Money raised by the Super Hunt drawings supports hunters and anglers access to private lands through the Access Yes! Program. To learn more about the Super Hunt drawings go to http://idfg. idaho.gov/superhunt. For more information on purchasing licenses/permits/ tags go to https://idfg.idaho. gov/licenses.

Assistance for Privately-Owned Wetlands, Agricultural Lands and Grasslands
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) encourages people and groups wanting to protect critical wetlands, agricultural lands and grasslands to consider enrolling their property into conservation easements. This year, USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) plans to invest $250 million nationally in technical and financial assistance to help private landowners, tribes, land trusts, and other groups protect these valuable lands. The Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP) focuses on restoring and protecting wetlands as well as conserving productive agricultural lands and grasslands. Landowners are compensated for enrolling their land in easements. “Protecting these lands preserves Idaho’s heritage, natural resources and open space,” said Curtis Elke, NRCS state conservationist for Idaho. “Easements are also important tools for people who are trying to improve the management of their land.” Applications for ACEP are taken on a continuous basis, and they are ranked and considered as funding permits. In Idaho, the deadline for the current is Feb. 16, 2018. The 2014 Farm Bill created ACEP, merging together several easement programs into one. In the last year, easements have protected 2,601 acres in the state and nearly 300,000 acres nationwide. Wetland Reserve Easements Through ACEP wetland reserve easements, NRCS helps landowners and tribes restore and protect wetland ecosystems. Wetlands are one of nature’s most productive ecosystems providing many ecological, societal and economic benefits. “Seventy-five percent of the nation’s wetlands are situated on private and tribal lands,” Elke said. “Wetlands provide many benefits, including critical habitat for a wide array of wildlife species. They also store floodwaters, clean and recharge groundwater, sequester carbon, trap sediment, and filter pollutants for clean water.” Wetland conservation easements are either permanent or for 30 years. Eligible lands include farmed or converted wetlands that can successfully be restored, croplands or grasslands subject to flooding, and riparian areas that link protected wetland areas. As part of the easement, NRCS and the landowner work together to develop a plan for the restoration and maintenance of the wetland.
Agricultural Land Easements Through ACEP agricultural land easements, NRCS provides funds to conservation partners to purchase conservation easements on private working lands. This program helps keep working lands working, especially in areas experiencing development pressure. Partners include state or local agencies, non-profits and tribes. Landowners continue to own their property but voluntarily enter into a legal agreement with a cooperating entity to purchase an easement. The cooperating entity applies for matching funds from NRCS for the purchase of an easement from the landowner, permanently protecting its agricultural use and conservation values. Landowners do not apply directly to NRCS for funding under this program. Easements are permanent. Eligible lands include privately owned cropland, rangeland, grassland, pastureland, and forestlands. More Information Landowners and tribes interested in wetland reserve easements and partners interested in agricultural easements should contact their local USDA service center.

Idaho Students Invited To Apply For Entrepreneur Competition
Student innovators and entrepreneurs at Idaho’s 22 colleges and universities are invited to apply for the Idaho Entrepreneur Challenge, a statewide venture competition that will offer $100,000 in total seed fund prizes.
