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.
