Coffee in Fairfield at the Family Bean
Last week, the little coffee shop on the east side of Fairfield along Highway 20 opened its doors with new proprietors - Sherena and Ellis Boyer - and a new name - the Family Bean. The Boyers found a home in Fairfield just last year, but Ellis has been wondering through the mountain north of Fairfield since he was a boy. Now days, he runs his own trucking company. Sherena has been a nurse for the last 20 years and is taking a little break to do more schooling. To fill up her extra time, bringing the coffee shop back to life felt like a great idea. Ellis is a cowboy coffee kind of guy, but Sherena loves the specialty coffee drinks. It’s odd combination, but Ellis, Sherena, and Tara are whether you lean towards the high falutin or you’re just ready to take your orders! hankering for something hot to drink in the morning, they have what you need. And Sherena isn’t afraid of your opinions. Tell her what you think. She wants you to be happy with your coffee. This past weekend, the Family Bean brought a special treat to Camas County with BULLZZ-EYE BBQ from Hagerman! This will be a regular weekend event, so have your taste buds ready for this coming weekend. For now, their normal hours of operation will be 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. seven days a week until they find the right day to take a break - let them know what you think. The Family Bean is located at the corner of 2nd Street East and You don’t have to be human Highway 20 (101 2nd Street E.) in Fairfield. If you know what you to love the Family Bean want, you can call ahead with your order to 208-971-4826.

Help Curb Illegal Carcass Disposal
by James Brower F&G Regional Communications Manager
Carcass disposal remains an issue around the state.
Wildlife Management Areas, such as Market Lake in Eastern Idaho, continue to have problems with the illegal dumping of animal carcasses along roads and in public parking areas. “Illegal dumping has been an ongoing issue,” says Brett Gullett, Market Lake Biologist. “Carcass dumping can, and often does, ruin the experience of other visitors to the Wildlife Management Area.” After a thorough job of butchering an animal, hunters should follow through by taking care of what remains: • Plan ahead to butcher the carcass a day or so prior to trash pickup. • Double-bagging can help to reduce odors before placing the carcass into a garbage can. • Most counties in Idaho have landfill sites designated for the proper disposal of animal carcasses. According to Idaho law, parts of any game animal, bird, or fish including bones, skin and entrails are considered litter when improperly disposed of. Individuals placing these substances along public roadways and private property may incur fines starting at $200. “We ask sportsmen not to dump animal carcasses on public lands,” says Conservation Officer Joe Heald. “These carcasses are unsightly and often shine a negative light on sportsmen.” Dumped carcasses are also commonly mistaken by members of the public as poached or illegally taken animals. This distracts already short-handed conservation officers from pursuing real poaching cases. -- -- - People who witness illegal dumping are asked to report it to their local Fish & Game office or the Citizens Against Poaching Hotline at (800) 632-5999 “It’s as simple as getting a license plate and giving us a call,” says Heald.

New Treasurer Needed in Camas County
The Camas County Treasurer,Gayle Bachtell, has submitted her resignation to the County Commissioners, effective March 31, 2020. State Law provides that the Camas County Republican Central Committee must present a list of three candidates to the Camas County Commissioners for them to make a choice for the new treasurer. Treasurer Gayle Bachtell, by virtue of submitting her intention to resign, has triggered a statute that allows the Commission to appoint a replacement before her resignation becomes final. This is so that the replacement can receive job orientation from Gayle in order to smooth the transition. It is the intention of the Camas Republican Central Committee to accept applications for this position until 5:00 PM Friday February 14, 2020. Thereafter the Central Committee will schedule individual interviews with prospective candidates so that we can make our recommendations to the Commission by the 2nd of March. You may apply by contacting: Lee Barron at 208-539-1071 or lee@warbarron.com or by mail: 600 West 343 South - Corral, ID 83322

What is Poaching?
Do you know what poaching is? Poaching is illegally killing animals. Here are some facts and opinions that I have on poaching .If you hunt illegally that is called poaching and if you poach you will go to jail. For example, a black rhinoceros is very illegal to kill now because in 2018, 892 black rhinos and almost 10,000 rhinos have been poached in the last 11 years. This is a problem because our ecosystem is being damaged. If too many people kill animals illegally the species will become endangered and go extinct. Did you know that some examples of illegal wildlife trade are well known? Rhino and elephants are killed for Ivory and tigers for their skin and bones. In my opinion, if you poach you should go to jail for life because every time you poach that decreases our wild life family. All wildlife trade is illegal without a licence. In Idaho fishing without a license is illegal, deer hunting without a tag and duck hunting. Again if you poach you will get a ticket of $7 million dollars to $23 million dollars it all depends on the animal you poach. In some countries they kill rhinos’ horns is a good ingredient to medicine. Animals are mostly killed in Africa because they use their body parts for food, clothing, and medicine. I get that because Africa is a poor country they need money, but poaching is just wrong.
White Owls
by Cesar Valdez
Why do some owls have different colors than others? Well, different types of owls live in different places. Where the owl lives will determine the owls coloring to blend into its surroundings. This hiding technique is called camouflage. White owls are very rare. Why is this you ask? White owls blend into the snow. Also, they are few white owls because they are running out of food. The effect of this is serious because they are going to different habitats. White owls live in the north where they blend into the white snow. When a white owl travels south it is now easier to see and can easily be killed by predators. White owls are considered a threatened species. White Owls are the symbol of wisdom. We should work to protect these majestic birds. We can do this by making owls boxes and putting out food for them if you know one lives in your area. We need to protect white owls.

obit ua r ies
Karl Anthony (Tony) Messner, a resident of Hagerman passed from this world to the next January 19, 2020, at the age of 72. He touched many lives with his kindness and generosity. He had a special gift of drawing people out and making real connections with them. A Giant among men. A master mechanic, welder, fabricator, millwright, machinist, long haul truck driver, heavy equipment operator, carpenter, rock chuck killer, brick mason, inventor, artist, sculptor, lumberjack, gourmet chef, hot-rodder, daredevil, caretaker, grandpa, father, husband, uncle, brother, mentor, friend and Champion of underdogs. He could make you laugh with a joke or poem off the top of his head. He turned junk and rust into creative and whimsical sculptures. He loved nature and spent many evenings driving the countryside watching deer and sunsets. He could charm an ornery cow and teach an old dog new tricks. He would take care of any handyman job for folks, as no job was too small. He taught many young people how to work hard and appreciate the value of a job well done. As a young man he lived in exciting places like Hawaii and Telluride, Colorado. He started a family with first wife Lynne Bottema. They moved to Hagerman with their young son Travis who was followed by a daughter named Erika. The family divorced and moved back to California where they co-raised their children. Tony returned to work in Hagerman where he met his second wife, Geri Omohundro, also of Hagerman. They enjoyed 25 years of adventure, travel and hard work. Tony is survived by his wife, Geri, his children Travis and Erika and four grandchildren, Anthony, Kobe, Lillian and Wyatt who will carry on his love of life; his beloved dog Lilli and numerous friends and family. To know him was to be up close with a force of nature. He lived well, He worked hard and He loved. He will live in our hearts forever and walk beside us on our adventures. Like one of his favorite sayings, he has become One with the Universe. A Celebration of Life will be held in June.

ebrating someone else’s birthday. Some say your birthday is an everyday celebration. I firmly believe that looking down at grass is better than looking up at grass. I say to myself, “Tee, if you did a celebration for your belated birthday, what would you do? Would you drink a drink to celebrate?” Probably not. “Would you have ice cream and cake?” Having them by yourself is no fun. You have to share it with someone else, and currently, everyone else is sick as well. So much for sharing ice cream and cake?! Although, I did stop at the Cracker Barrel restaurant recently and sat by myself for dinner. I even sang Happy Birthday to myself. I was a good thing there were only 8 other people in the restaurant. The other evening I thought I might go to the BSU basketball game for a night out. As I was half way there, the alternator went out in my car. Mission was immediately canceled and rerouted for the SIGHT of things. As I am writing this letter, I am baking myself a cake (felt too sick earlier). I may even have some ice cream. All is good! If you want to be the picture of health, you need to have a happy frame of mind. This is my “Cup of Tee” saying that health is the thing that makes you feel that NOW is the best time of year and the human body, with proper care, will last a lifetime.
