New Life For Hagerman Coffee Shop
The coffee shop at 111 South State Street in Hagerman, formerly known as HeBrew Coffee, is now Bullets & Brew. They still have great coffee and other items to fuel your morning cravings. The big addition? A full line of guns for your hunting needs, as well as the amunition to load up properly. Of course, a new business is not without its challenges. A couple of weeks ago, someone drove a little too close to the drive-thru window, and an unplanned remodel took place in the kitchen area. It was all for the good, though, and now it is better than ever. Stop by and enjoy their full service espresso bar, smoothies, pastries, and breakfast to-go! Or... check out the great gift items - for men and women! Open Monday through Friday 7 to 5, and Saturdays from 8 to 3. The super nice people at Bullets & Brew can’t wait to make your day a happy one!
Many Choices for Rebuilding Forest Road
Sometimes there are no easy answers to the problems we face. Such is the case with the forest road that connects the Big Smoky Guard Station with Featherville - FR 227. In 2014 and 2015 as a result of the Kelly Creek Fire (2013), heavy rain storms caused debris flows in numerous drainages along the South Fork Boise River north of Fairfield. The Debris flows blocked the river channel and flooded the roadway in several areas. The flooding resulted in severe erosion and the road was closed. The spring runoff of 2017 caused even more damage to the roadway, especially in the area of the Bowns campground. On February 1st, the Fairfield Ranger District and the Camas County Commissioner held a joint open house to outline the various options to provide access to those wanting or needing to travel in this area. Besides being a popular recreation area for hunting and fishing, there are nearly 200 private parcels that rely on FR 227 for access. continued on page 3...

ITD Proposes US-26 Improvements
The public is invited to review and comment on the proposed reconstruction of a 4.7 mile section of US-26 west from Shoshone (Ohlinger Road to the US-26/US-93 junction) at an open house on Thursday, February 15th. Those interested are invited to attend the open house any time between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. at the ITD District 4 Office (216 South Date Street, Shoshone). Improvements to the roadway include removing and replacing asphalt, followed by regrading the roadway base before repaving with a new asphalt surface. Work in the city of Shoshone also will include repairing and replacing the storm-water system, installing new ADA-compliant sidewalk approaches, and at the Apple Street railroad crossing. In order to complete the in-town work, temporary closures of sidewalks and city streets will be necessary. Project team members will be available to discuss the roadway safety improvements and expectations during construction, which is planned for 2019. Written testimony will be accepted at the meeting and may be submitted through March 2. Comments can be mailed to the ITD District 4, Attn: Douglas Yearsley, 216 South Date, Shoshone, ID 83352 or emailed to douglas.yearsley@itd.idaho. gov. Highway construction is one of the key forces pushing Idaho toward continued economic vitality by creating jobs, improving safety and reducing traffic congestion.
New Upland Game Seasons & Rules
By Vicky Osborn, Television/Radio Specialist
The new rule booklets include several changes for hunting turkeys, rabbits and trapping.

Printed copies of the rules booklets will be available midFebruary at all regional offices and most license vendors. The new rule booklets include updated price information for 2018 licenses, tags and permits, which went into effect January 1st.

Legislative Update from Senator Michelle Stennett
Week Four: Jan. 29 - Feb. 5 Governor Slashing Away The Joint Finance and Appropriations Committee (JFAC) is looking at a surplus of hundreds of millions of dollars, based on a budget recommended by the Governor. However, his budget proposes swift cuts to nearly every college and university program across the state, and, unfortunately, the same goes for many health and human services, including mental health. Additionally, there’s no attempt to address the $300 million deficit in maintenance for our roads and bridges, and there’s a proposal to provide roughly $200 million in income tax cuts. This is surprising, considering the recent Public Policy Survey findings that 62.6% of Idahoans think they’re being taxed about right, and nearly 78% said to keep the state budget the same or increase it. While I support giving money back to hard working Idahoans through tax cuts, there are ways to do it responsibly without hamstringing our healthcare programs, postsecondary options, and infrastructure needs. Several programs remain unfunded from tightening our belts during the recession, education remains underfunded, and Idaho’s suicide rate is currently the fifthhighest in the nation. This is not the time to be slashing critical programs designed to improve your quality of life, keep you safe, and give you access to better paying jobs. Stand Your Ground This week the House State Affairs Committee voted to print HB410 which is commonly referred to as the “Stand Your Ground” bill. Many of you have expressed concern regarding the fate of this legislation. In my view, Idaho’s self-defense laws and property laws are some of the best in the nation and already allow adequate opportunity for citizens to protect their

families and property. Additionally, a study by researchers at Texas A&M University showed that states enacting stand your ground legislation experience an eight percent increase in homicides, but no measurable reduction in property crimes. Office of Inspector General I am sponsoring a bill to create an Office of the Inspector General for the state of Idaho. Given our current national climate I feel its creation and mission will be timelier than ever. The bill will create an official avenue for citizens to complain and whistleblow based on fraud, waste, abuse, and corruption violations, while also acting as a mechanism to detect and deter the same. Per the legislation, the Inspector General will serve a 6-year term appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate, can only be removed from office based on concurrent agreement between the Senate and the Governor, and will work closely with the Attorney General and law enforcement. Similar to current ethics practices in the Idaho State Legislature, filed complaints will remain confidential unless actionable findings are discovered.

The final ‘Let’s Talk About It’ book discussion for this season will be Monday, February 26th at 6 p.m. Their Eyes Were Watching God is a 1937 novel and the best known work by African-American writer Zora Neale Hurston. Set in central and southern Florida in the early 20th century, the main character, Janie Crawford, expects more out of life, but comes to realize that people must learn about life ‘fuh theyselves’ (for themselves), just as people can only go to God for themselves. The public is invited to check out the book at the Camas County Library.

...Rebuilding Forest Road continued
The first option is rebuild the road in its original location. The main problem with this is the river. It wants to move (its streambed) in a direction that will make maintenance of that roadway an ongoing and expensive endeavor. To avoid that, the preferred action is to move the road to a new location. To stay in the same general location, the road could be moved away from the river, either north or south. The South option already has roadways that serve the Big Smoky Cabin Sites, but reconnecting to FR 227 downstream (to the west) would require crossing over a large area of wetlands. This is not only problematic from an environmental standpoint, it also puts the road at risk for more flooding. Moving the road to the north avoids the wetland issue, but there is a large eroding cutbank north of the Bowns Campground area that would be difficult to stabilize. The other option is to put the road in an entirely new location. One possibility is rerouting the road up to the top of Fleck Summit and then south to reconnect at the confluence of the S.F. Boise River and Big Smoky Creek. While this would have the advantage of improving the Fleck Summit road (at least part of it), this route adds about 2.5 miles to the original travel distance. No decision has been made regarding this project. The above ideas are merely that... ideas. If you would like to comment on any of this or suggest a different idea, contact the Fairfield Ranger District at 102 1st Street in Fairfield. You can also comment by mail (PO Box 189 - Fairfield, ID 83327), call/fax 208-764-3211, or email: comments-intermtn-sawtooth-fairfield@fs.fed.us Comments are welcome anytime, but will be most usefull if received on or before Feb. 15.

Simpson Responds to SOTU
Idaho Congressman Mike Simpson issued the following statement after President Trump’s State of the Union. “In today’s divided political climate it may seem difficult to find consensus. However, it is undisputable that the American economy is strong and on the rise. President Trump signed into law the largest tax reform policy in more than three decades and the results have been overwhelming. Businesses all over the world are investing and reinvesting in America, and families are keeping more of their hard-earned money in their pockets through bonuses, increased wages, added benefits, stock options, and lower utility bills. “I was very glad to hear the President’s emphasis on addressing our massive infrastructure needs. Whether it be our water and sewer systems, our roads and bridges, public lands, or our national grid, we have long been the beneficiaries of investments that our forefathers made. It is our job to maintain this backbone of our economy for future generations. “In the past year, the President and Congress have rolled back thousands of pages of burdensome regulations that have stifled American innovation and job creation. This is a key part of our economic success, and will also be crucial in ensuring infrastructure projects can be completed in an efficient and cost effective time frame. “There is still more work to be done on many issues, including immigration, and I look forward to working with my colleagues in Congress and the Administration to address the most pressing issues our nation faces.”

Cup of Tee
They tell me the ones that live the longest have the most birthdays. Somehow I believe what I have been told. On January 26th I decided to have another birthday. For lunch I went to Marie Challender’s in Boise, Idaho. Marie’s is a pie bakery and eatery. A homemade pie is an expression of ones love and labor. Why not fill the day with a feeling of love? The sad part of the deal was that Marie Callender’s was closing their doors on January 26th. That would be the last one in Idaho. I guess they couldn’t keep up with my demand for pie. I guess they gave me a little credit by allowing one more round of pie for the road, so to speak. Once inside the restaurant door, there were five lines of people waiting to get their last pie. The place hardly even had elbow room. Normally, there would be 1/4 of one line. The restaurant side wasn’t too busy. I pushed my way through the lines to the restaurant side. Ahead of me was a blind man assisted by another fellow. The waitress didn’t even make an audio note to the customers ahead of me that they were even there. Perhaps she could have said, “I will be with you in a moment.” Her attitude was downturned, probably because of the closing of Marie Callender’s. She kind of made everyone’s last time one they wanted to forget. On the other hand, my waitress was joyous even know her time was limited. She strived

to give customers the best time she could. She even took time to check special menu requests. Neither waitress knew the day was my birthday, but a pleasant attitude gave me a better birthday. Naturally, I ate my desert first - PIE. Nothing has changed in the form of my life since I was a teenager. You can always reheat your main course. By all means one should have it their way, even if it is not your birthday (similar to deciding if you want mayonnaise on your hamburger). If your dessert is eaten first, the cooks have time to prepare your meal, no pressure. Saturday the 27th, I extended my birthday by going to Payette, Idaho, and touring their county museum. The museum was housed in an old brick church. The day was slow so I had an exclusive tour of the facilities. Our museum curator was from the same town I was of forty years ago. It is a small world even when you think of birthdays and cake to share. After leaving Payette my little group and myself jaunted down (or up) to Weiser, Idaho. There was a restaurant with homecooking where I wanted to eat. More homemade pie Before I managed to get to the cafe, the Weiser Candy Company had to be visited. “Dessert before dinner?” Yes this time, but it left me with no room for “Pie before dinner.” A good day is what you get done before lunch or dinner. This is my “Cup of Tee” without birthday cake.

INVITATION TO BID
RECEIPT OF BIDS: Sealed bids for construction of the Camas County, Idaho Soldier Road to Camas School Path Project Number A019(904) Key No. 19904 will be received by Camas County at the County by Roger Phillips, Public Information Specialist Court House, 501 Soldier Road, P.O. Box, 430, Fairfield, Idaho 83327, until February 14, 2018 at 4:00 p.m. During February and March, Fish and Game’s fisheries man- and then at said office publicly opened and read aloud.
agers will work with the public to shape three fishing proposals: 2018 Chinook salmon seasons, upcoming statewide fishing seasons and rules through 2021, and updating Idaho’s long-term fisheries management plan. Chinook salmon seasons are set annually, so fish managers are collecting public comments to help them form rules for the spring season. The statewide fishing rules are set on a three-year cycle with the current ones expiring Dec. 31. In November, the Idaho Fish and Game Commission will adopt regulations that will be in effect until 2021. Public input is also needed to update the statewide Fisheries Management Plan, which lasts from 2019 to 2024. It helps guide fisheries managers to set program priorities and also establish sport fishing and conservation goals. Fish and Game will host meetings to share information and get comments from anglers and other interested people. You can also provide comments directly to regional fish managers (contacts listed below). Comments from public feedback will help fisheries staff develop proposed changes, which will also go through another round of public review before the Fish and Game commission adopts new rules in November.
