Sign-Up For Hunter Ed. NOW
Every autumn as the leaves begin to change, thousands of Idahoans begin to focus on one thing: heading to the back country to hunt. If you are new to hunting, you must first complete a hunter education course. Far too often, new comers learn that they have waited too long to sign up, and finding a class is difficult. “Seating is limited and classes fill quickly,” said Hunter Education and Recruitment Manager, Brenda Beckley. “Get signed up in a course early. Don’t wait until fall.” By state law, Idahoans born on or after January 1, 1975 must attend and successfully complete a hunter education course before purchasing an Idaho hunting license or provide proof that they held a valid hunting license in another state. For aspiring young hunters, we recommend the traditional instructor-led course. These classes are taught over a two-week period by volunteer instructors. Students must pass a continued on page 6.....

“Gooding College” by Kelly Kast
From 1917 to 1938, Gooding Idaho was home to an excellent college of higher education. Gooding College, was started by the Methodist Episcopal Church and was considered one of the finest in Idaho. On March 10th, Kelly Kast will present the fascinating history of the college including its patriotic role in the community during World War I, its tribulations during the Spanish Flu Pandemic, and perhaps most importantly, its role in shaping the City of Gooding and surrounding communities. The college folded in 1938 and the buildings were given to the state to be used as a tuberculosis hospital. What remains of the college is now privately owned. Kelly Kast was born and raised in Gooding County and has spent many years researching and writing about the intriguing history of south-central Idaho. Kelly was a staff writer for the Gooding County Leader for seven years and its editor for three years. She has published many articles history articles with Idaho Magazine. Kelly currently works for the Idaho State Police and recently published Without Compromise, the history of the Idaho State Police, in celebration of its 75th anniversary.

Serving with all Gentleness & Compassion... The Courier News ~ 888-934-1862 Use Less Water In Your Landscape Hay, Cereal, & Livestock School
Tony McCammon University of Idaho Extension Area Horticulturist
Welcome Spring! Yes it will be here before you know it. That means the sweet smell of irrigation water, the glorious sound of sprinklers ‘chicketing,’ and for some the multiplication of mushrooms in their lawns. Strange to live in a desert and see mushrooms in a lawn. Yes, it is strange! Usually it is due to improper irrigation management. In Idaho, about two-thirds of residential water bills are run up on landscapes, whether they need it or not. Typically, homeowners pour on 50-80 inches each growing season—more than twice the amount that grass requires. Imperfectly designed, improperly maintained, or inefficient irrigation systems—and water running off slopes— explain some of this excess. But most commonly, Idaho homeowners waste water by simply irrigating more often than their landscapes need. Applying less water in the cooler spring and fall months than in peak summer heat can cut your water use in half. Turning your automatic sprinklers off during rainstorms or adding a water shutoff device to your system can save gallons as well. Most important, however, is matching your sprinkler applications to your plants’ needs, which means first measuring how much water your system is really applying. To do that, gather a few empty soup cans, a ruler, and a watch, and follow instructions in University of Idaho Extension publications “Watering Home Lawns: How Much and How Often” or “Watering Home Lawns and Landscapes,” available at http://www.cals.uidaho. edu/edComm/catalog.asp. If we could change just a few of our habits, we could save a lot of water. Each unnecessary irrigation is the equivalent of 104 showers, 52 baths, 52 loads of laundry, or 312 toilet flushes. Some water saving tips from my colleagues at the University of Idaho Extension include: Select water-efficient, drought-tolerant ornamentals from lists available at www.extension.uidaho.edu/idahogardens or your local Extension office. Group plants according to their needs for both water and sunlight, and set up your irrigation system to supply high- and low-water zones. Consider penstemons, native buckwheats, columbine, hyssops, daisies, blanketflower, sumac, and even roses for stunning flower beds that may need watering only four to eight times all summer.
Camas & Blaine County
On Monday, March 16th, the University of Idaho Extension office will host a hay, cereal, and livestock school at the Camas County Senior and Community Center in Fairfield. Check-in will begin at 9 a.m. with the first class starting at 9:30. The day will end at 2 p.m. Classes include: Soil Health with Amber Moore (Soils Specialist, UI Extension), Dairy Compost Study with Cindy Kinder and Lauren Hunter (Extension Educators), Grazing Crop Aftermath with Jon Hogge (Extension Educator), Barley Commission Market Updates, and Weed Management with Steve Hines (1 pesticide credit available). Early Registration ($15), which includes lunch is due by March 11. Registration after that date is $20. Contact the Blaine County Extension office to Register - 788-5585. You can pay over the phone with your credit card. Visa, American Express, Mastercard, and Discover. Don’t install narrow, impractical strips of grass that serve no landscape purpose. Know for which benefits you’re growing turf—play areas, erosion control, natural cooling, and so forth—and plant only what you need and what you can adequately maintain. Make sure your irrigation system is working efficiently and delivering water to the right places and in the right amounts. Remember that grass doesn’t waste water; people do. Water deeply—at least 12 inches for grass—and infrequently. To minimize sun, wind, and heat related water loss, irrigate between dusk and dawn. Raise mowing heights to 3 inches during the summer. It will make a big difference in root growth, and your expanded soil-water reserve will permit longer intervals between irrigations. To learn more on how to develop and care for a beautiful garden that uses much less water, attend our upcoming “Water-wise landscaping” workshop to be held at the Gooding Public Library on Saturday March 7 from 10 am to noon. For more information contact the University of Idaho Extension, Gooding County at 208-934-4417 or gooding@uidaho.edu.

USDA Extends Sign Up For Conservation Stewardship Program
BOISE, ID – February 24, 2015 – The Natural Resources Conservation Service extended the 2015 Conservation Stewardship Program sign up deadline to March 13, 2015. Farmers, ranchers, and private forest managers have an additional two weeks to apply for funding. CSP pays program participants for active management and maintenance of existing conservation activities and for carrying out new conservation activities on working agricultural land — the more conservation accomplishments, the higher the payment. The 2014 Farm Bill includes an expanded conservation activity list that offers producers more options to address natural resource challenges. New conservation activities include cover crops, intensive rotational grazing and wildlife-friendly fencing. NRCS accepts CSP applications year-round however, applications submitted by March 13, 2015, will be considered for this year’s funding. As part of the CSP application process, program applicants work with NRCS conservationists to complete a resource inventory of their land looking at existing conservation activities and potential new conservation activities. The inventory is used to determine eligibility, ranking, and payments. Stop by your local NRCS office for more information or to submit an application.
...Hunter Education continued
written test and the field exercise to certify. For teens and adults, we recommend the online hunter education course. The first part of the course is taken at home and is concluded by attending a field day where students must pass a field exercise and written exam. Students must sign up for the field day early. Fish and Game recommends people start looking for a course close to home as soon as they make the decision to take their first hunting trip in Idaho. Courses are available in all regions throughout the spring and summer, and the earlier people start thinking about signing up, the better their chances of finding courses and field days that are convenient for their schedules. Those who go online to find a course may find that scheduled field days in their region are already full, but with a simple click of the mouse, they will be able to sign up for email alerts when additional field days are scheduled. The key is to take action as soon as possible to ensure a spot. To sign up for hunter education, and to learn more about the program, go to: fishandgame.idaho.gov

Gooding County Museum Workday
Sometimes when a friend needs some help, one goes without asking any questions. One of my friends, who is a weather forecaster, was to my understanding issued a most wanted status on him. I believe there was talk of rewards being gathered to place on his capture because people weren’t prepared to handle the weather forecast. My mission, as I saw it, was to give some assistance and maybe protection to my friend. Three connecting airline flights were produced to get me there as quick as possible, knowing from the time of my departure, there could be major plane delays. The snowfall had many flights cancelled. A few phone confirmations found all of my flights in good shape. When I arrived at the airport of my final destination, I was immediately hustled off in the vehicle to beat possible blizzard conditions. Only miles from the airport, a police car flips a u-turn in the middle of the road with the lights flashing. How does anyone know my intentions? All was good, for me. My friend, who picked me up, and I were helping a gal get her stuck car out of the snowy barrow ditch. We were almost in an intersection and the lights helped us serve assistance with undo safety hazards. Close call on my identity. Four times as I was headed to my destination of stay, we hit white-out conditions. My mission looked as if I was going to get off to a slow start, maybe even delayed. If the snow got any deeper, I might be wasting a trip in which to aid my friend. The next morning I started to run about locally to see the surroundings and to formulate my plan. I was basically infiltrating myself into the local population so no one would suspect me. I already had one close call with the law. I found myself at the Jimmy Stewart Museum. I thought that would be a clever way to disguise my friend with a touch of Hollywood. After all, Hollywood has a great way of deception with props and makeup. Maybe my friend could go undetected if I could hasten my dialect lessons. With the thought of slipping out of town I began to wonder if maybe I should use the reverse instead. Maybe I should hide the weather forecaster locally, and let people think he was gone. With that thought I went into Amish Country. By seeing all the wagons up to their bellies in snow, I began to rethink my local protection process. As you might have guessed, I was going to rescue Punxsutawney Phil, the groundhog noted for his weather predictions on Ground Hog Day - February 2nd of each year. This year’s prediction was six more weeks of winter. The east was getting record weather. The predictions of 2014 were six weeks of winter which produced records also. Phil was needing help. All I can say is I’m back in Idaho from Pennsylvania and the Ground Hog Relocation Protection Program can’t be discussed in this letter. This is my “Cup of Tee” weather (whether) or not.
