Over-Snow Vehicles Closure Fairfield Ranger District
by the Editor Effective immediately, the area from Couch Summit to Fleck Summit and within the Little Smoky Creek drainage will be closed to over-snow vehicle use, including trail grooming activities. Landowners with property within this area or north of Fleck Summit will be required to obtain a permit/ waver to access their property. This action is the result of a U.S. District Court order (February 10, 2021) which reversed the 2018 Forest Service decision regarding over-snow vehicle travel management in the northern portion of the Fairfield Ranger District. In following with Judge David Nye’s ruling, the Forest Service will revert to pre-2018 management. In May of 2019, the Idaho State Snowmobile Association (ISSA) filed a lawsuit challenging the 2018 Forest Service decision, contending that the Forest Service did not follow proper procedure in making that decision. There were three counts in ISSA’s complaint, but only one was found to be valid. In making their decision, the Forest Service did an Enviromental Assessment (EA) but decided to forgo an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). While the EIS was not absolutely necessary, the conclusions made in the EA (according to the judge) lacked sufficent credability based on the research. At issue was the decision to closed off the headwaters of the upper South Fork Boise River and Big Smoky Creek to over-snow vehicles. The main reason for the original closure was to protect wintering elk in the area. Changes in how the elk used this area prompted the Forest Service to open the Couch Summit to Fleck Summit corridore. However, this effectively opened up a large trac of land that was previously inaccessable to most people - the headwaters of the forementioned dranages. These areas are used by wolverines, Canada lynx, and mountian goats, and need protection from wintertime disturbance. The closure of those areas was an effort to balance the wellbeing of wildlife continued on page 4... with demands of winter recreation.

ing and agreement with the College of Southern Idaho (CSI) for a co-admission and co-enrollment partnership as well as a financial aid consortium agreement, all of which will help students who want to attend both institutions. The agreement is designed to help students make a smooth transition from CSI to LC State and to assure that student success is optimized through early identification and support. This includes a more seamless transfer of credits and expanded class options at both institutions. The agreement begins with the summer semester. CSI is a two-year community college created in 1964 and located in Twin Falls. It reported an enrollment of 7,585 students for fall 2020. LC State saw a 3 percent increase in enrollment this fall. This past fall saw eight direct transfer students from CSI enroll at LC State and four others who attended CSI in the past. “We are excited to be working with CSI on co-admission/co-enrollment,” LC State President Cynthia Pemberton said. “This partnership education model will increase student awareness, interest and access, making next level degree pursuit virtually seamless.” “I appreciate the collaboration with the administration and faculty at Lewis-Clark State College to make this partnership a reality,” said CSI President Dean Fisher. “Like the leadership of LCSC, the CSI leadership team is interested in assuring a seamless and cooperative enrollment experience for Idahoans.” The admission and enrollment agreement will help CSI students who have completed an associate degree transfer those credits towards a bachelor’s degree at LC State. The agreement helps improve access to comprehensive support services and information as well as expand class options for students. Students may take classes from CSI and LC State simultaneously under this agreement and combine those classes into a full-time schedule. For the institutions, the partnership offers opportunities for more effective and efficient use of faculty, facilities and support services. The management of the partnership and agreements will be coordinated through the enrollment services offices at the institutions. Each institution will have an advisor to work with students participating in the partnership on degree requirements and course planning. CSI also will provide LC State advising space on its campus for ongoing advisement and recruiting for the program. In November, LC State announced a similar partnership with the College of Eastern Idaho.

How I Help My Mom Do Chores
My mom needs me to help her because sometimes she gets tired. One day, she told me, “Can you please help me because you never help. It's time to help me right now, stop being in your phone.” I said, “Ok mom, because you love me, I will help.” “Thank you,” said mother. I made my bed and did the dishes. After that I started helping her every day. Also, I help her do the laundry because it's really fun. I also make my mom's bed because my mom is cleaning my brothers and my room. I want to help her a little bit, so I clean her room. I help my mom do chores because I know it makes her day better and it makes her life easier. This is why I help out at home with chores.

How much My Mom Means to Me
I love my mom so much because she is always there for me. She cooks us food to eat. She helps me with my homework and she explains my homework when I don't understand. She makes me laugh because she is silly. When I am bored, she plays with me. When I am watching tv all alone she watches tv with me. When I am doing dishes all alone, she helps me put them away. When I am eating alone, she eats with me. When I am watering the grass she helps me water the grass, flowers, and vegetables. When I am home with my mom, "I say I love you so much Mom with all my heart." I know my mom does all these things for me because she is trying to take care of me and loves me very much. Thank you mom! By Aliana Carranza Covarrubias

Notable Fish Stockings Around the State
By Bryan Grant, Fish Hatchery Complex Manager
Fish stocking is starting to ramp back up in most of the state for March as the weather gets warmer and spring gets closer, and many waters are being stocked for the first time since fall. About 70,000 catchable-sized rainbow trout will be stocked throughout Idaho during the month. With so many fish stocked in so many places, it can be hard for anglers to sift through the stocking forecasts and records to identify noteworthy stocking events. To make it easier, we asked Fish and Game hatchery staff to highlight some stocking events for the month of March: MAGIC VALLEY REGION Blair Trail Fishing Pond – 1,200 Rainbow Trout. Located on Little Canyon Creek, this remote desert water is surrounded by sagebrush solitude. Cedar Creek Reservoir (Roseworth Reservoir) – 2,000 Rainbow Trout. If you are looking to get out of town for the day, this reservoir is a remote trout fishery in the high desert. It has great shoreline access as well as high water and low water boat ramps. Freedom Park Pond – 1,000 Rainbow Trout. Located in Burley, this trout pond was built with young anglers in mind. Go cast a line with the kiddos! SOUTHEAST REGION American Falls Reservoir – 18,000 Rainbow Trout. This large waterbody on the Snake River provides abundant boating opportunity. Additionally, there is good shoreline fishing near the west side boat ramp located by the dam. These fish will be stocked once ice is off. Bannock Reservoir – 1,000 Rainbow Trout. Located within the Portneuf Wellness Complex Park near the County Fairgrounds in Pocatello, this community park offers trout fishing with many recreational amenities nearby. The five-acre pond is surrounded by playgrounds, soccer fields, basketball courts, running and biking trails, and an amphitheater for community events. Multiple docks provide fishing access around the pond.

...Over-Snow Vehicles Closure continued
ISSA challenged both the idea that these animals would be adversely affected by over-snow vehicles, and whether these animals are in fact in this area. Mountain goats are in the area, but Most of our Senior Centers are only open take-out, BUT... live in areas far too rugged for snowmobiles. Wolverine are also in this area, but the EA stated Shoshone & Richfield are NOW open for IN HOUSE meals. that they tolerate winter recreation. This includes denning females which the Forest Service failed Please continue to call ahead by 10 a.m. to the other centers. to prove exist in the area. While the habitat of this area could support Canada lynx, only one set of tracks have been documented and that was five miles outside the area 20 years ago. In short, ISSA contends that the Forest Service relied on old, uncertain scientific data. However reasonable it might be to assume that lynx and wolverine dens do exist in this area, the judge 886–2369 (218 N Rail St. W) 487–2722 130 S Main Street agreed that the Forest Service did not provide a rational connection between the facts found and Lunch: $2 (2-9) $5.50 (10-59) $4 over 60 (suggested) the choices made regarding closure. ---------------------- For additional information or to obtain a landowner permit, please contact the Fairfield Ranger Thursday, Mar 4 (Rich) Submarine Sandwiches District at 208-764-3202.

Dorrell Reed Hansen
Dorrell Reed Hansen, Jr., 91, died on February 23, 2021 at St. Alphonsus Hospital in Boise, Idaho. He was holding hands with his wife of 73 years when he died. Dorrell fought a short battle with the disease Myasthenia Gravis. Dorrell was born in Bingham, Utah to Dorrell Reed Hansen, Sr. and Myrtle Mulliner. He was the first of their five children. Shortly after his birth the family moved to Shoshone, ID where Dorrell attended school through high school, lettering in sports. He married his high school sweetheart, Clara Boesiger, and they started moving around and having a family. Dorrell started with United Airlines in Twin Falls, ID in 1951. He transferred with United to Bakersfield, CA, then to Dayton, OH and finally to Modesto, CA. Dorrell served part time as a reserve Deputy Sheriff in Ohio and in Modesto, and then became a full time Deputy Sheriff in Stanislaus County California in 1965. His career at the Sheriff’s Department included Detective Sargent and an instructor at the police academy. After he retired in 1980, Dorrell and Clara moved back to Idaho on to a small acreage outside of Gooding that only had a shed and a travel trailer. It was here that they built their own home and converted 20 acres of sagebrush into a desert oasis that had animals, flower gardens and endless adventures for their grandchildren and great grandchildren. During that time Dorrell substitute taught in Gooding Schools and worked as a part time Deputy Sheriff in Lincoln County. In 2003 they moved off the farm into Gooding. There Dorrell started attending St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church and became a 4th degree member of the Knights of Columbus. They moved to Boise in 2016 to be closer to their children.

After Bill’s divorce, he married Julie Pough in July of 1993 and gained a daughter – Jill. Bill and Julie lived in Gooding until his death. There was never a dull moment with Bill. He was always full of fun and laughter and never met a stranger. He loved the outdoors, hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, camping, four wheeling, as well as bowling and golfing. He was especially proud of his garden and his canning abilities. His kids and grandkids, still request his famous canned sauerkraut. Bill lived life on his terms and up until the end, his positive outlook and sense of humor remained with him. He had a strong work ethic and led by example. He taught his family the value of hard work, good judgement and integrity. They learned to accept life’s challenges because he taught them that challenges help them grow stronger.

Donna Morton
5
“Spread the joy” was Donna Morton’s favorite saying, and she tried to do so, whether she felt like it or not. Donna Kay Morton was born on February 26, 1941 in Gooding, Idaho. She transitioned from this life on February 18, 2021 at her daughter Misty’s home in Eugene, OR, though Gooding was her home. Donna was a generous woman who looked for ways to sprinkle others with a little bit of extra goodness. Whether that be through the Nickle Toys program she ran for a decade, to ensure all children received presents for Christmas, to serving on the board of the Idaho School for the Deaf and Blind, paying for strangers’ coffees at Chimney Creek drive-thru in Gooding, to mothering community kids and stray animals alike. She was a giver. In her younger days she loved ceramics, sewing clothes, playing piano and dancing. While in Oregon, she spent time as a secretary at the Oregon Tax Commission and the Department of Human Resources, and a homemaker. Once she returned to Gooding she worked as a bookkeeper and for the Chamber of Commerce, in addition to many volunteer positions. She loved her hometown and raised money to plant flower boxes all along main street. Donna loved doves and hummingbirds; she could be found conversing with them daily from her own patio perch, the old, blue smoking chair. She was compassionate, non-judgmental and offered a listening ear to those in need. Morton’s Oasis was known, not only as a place to gather with friends, but a place of immense beauty. Her flower gardens were magazine worthy, and she cared for them like children. Mom loved her treats - daily mochas, cookies, cakes, and she was known for her infamous candy drawer – a favorite among adults, and her grandchildren alike. When her beloved Duke passed away in 2013, a piece of her went with him. We celebrate not only her life, but her reunion with Dad. She is survived by her beloved pug, Lilly, sons Duke and Lute, daughters Misty, Mira and Satya, and seven grandchildren: Connor, Hana, Dylan, Nile, Marina, Jacob, and Kai. We look forward to a celebration of her life this summer in Gooding, Idaho. Condolences, memories and photos can be shared with the family at www.demarayfuneralservice.com

© This time of year, everyone is wanting to go into the chicken raising business. I don’t know if it is because it is closer to Easter or a glimmer of sunshine. And for Easter, I am still confused. I didn’t know rabbits laid eggs, which produce chickens, which raises more chickens... I need not ponder. I remember in my youth, I wanted to raise some chickens of my very own. Raydeen, a lady who used to watch us after school, had a flock of chickens. She had a Bantam rooster who was beautifully colored - red, white and black (black and white combo colors were my favorite back then). I was fascinated by the Banty. It seemed like he took a liking to me as well. He followed me like a dog every time I was over to his place. Raydeen gave me the rooster whom I named Chipper. One chicken, namely of the male species, wasn’t enough to start my own chicken flock. Where was I going to get more chickens? I looked around and they seemed to cost more money than a kid like me had. I was already buying feed for the rooster. I let a couple of fiends know that I was looking for chickens. They told me they knew where I could get some and they wouldn’t cost me anything. I wanted to know where. They told me there were chickens in the feedlot across the river near my house, all I had to do was catch them. I told them I wouldn’t steal someone’s chickens. They convinced me they were owned by no one. As I remember,there really were no owners. The chickens hung out around the feed. I believe they were abandoned by the people down the road who had moved away. After all, the chickens didn’t walk across the bridge to live at the feedlot! I told my friends there was no way I catch those chickens. “Tee,” they told me, “You catch them when they roost in the trees at night.” I
by Tee Hurd
said, “Won’t they fly?” Their reply was, “Not if you grab them by the legs. They’ll stay still.” I was in for the chicken catching business. The time was set and the three of us set out in the dark for me to catch me some chickens. They were roosting about 15 feet above the ground in the midst of a lot of limbs. I climbed the tree, slowly slid out on a limb, and grabbed a large chicken by the legs. That chicken flew out of there with a speed that I thought was 100 MPH. Needless to say, that chicken drug me off the limb. Through the layers of limbs I plummeted to the ground, with the chicken escaping as well as the rest flying off. My friends laughed with a health demeanor as I picked myself up scratched and scraped. I didn’t get off the “off” the ground in the chicken business. I, in a few days, got a few hens from Raydeen, the lady I got the rooster from. Soon I was in the chicken business. One of my hens set a batch of eggs and I had chicks. Soon, the chicks were exploring their world like chick do. The second wave of chicken raising came along when my younger brother joined the team. He baptized some in the river of no return. Others fell to uncertain death when a plank fell on them held by my brother’s hands. A few more got wallered to death in the pig pen. I believe my brother left me a couple. At this time I think I was torn between being in the chicken business and being in the brother business. I think my brother, when I got done with him, wished I was in the chicken business. That was my short lived chicken raising business. I don’t believe the Easter bunny brought any either. I ended up keeping my brother and not chickens. This is my “Cup of Tee” brooding!

Clayton William Jones
obit ua r ies
Clayton “Clay” William Jones, 63, of Wendell, Idaho, passed away at his home on Monday, February 22, 2021. Clay was born in Danbury, Connecticut on July 16, 1957 to Calvitte and Catherine (Dempsey) Jones. His childhood years were spent growing up on the ocean with siblings in Connecticut and the Watchung Hills of New Jersey. Clay had a love for education and his pursuit of knowledge led him to Paul Smith’s College in Lake Placid, New York where he studied Water Chemistry. His drive to learn more directed him to the Western United States to finish his studies at Utah State University, where he majored in Wildlife Science and Fish Biology. As he continued to pursue his passion for wildlife and the great outdoors, Clay began his career as a fish biologist with Rainbow Trout Fish Hatchery, in Buhl, Idaho. Over the next 15 years, he continued his love of fish biology, working at several different fish hatcheries in Southern Idaho and Utah. Clay married Connie Waynetska on October 4, 1981. Throughout their 13 years of marriage, they were blessed with two children and enjoyed attending rock and roll concerts, watching drag races and camping. After their divorce, Clay switched careers, obtained his CDL, and began driving truck which allowed him to travel all over the United States. His love for wildlife however, never dulled. He was an avid fisherman and hunter throughout his entire life. His pride trophy was his bull moose he killed in the Selway in Northern Idaho. Clay also found great passion in restoring classical cars, especially his pride and joy, his 1955 Chevy. That passion transitioned into rebuilding waterfowl boats, later in his life. Clay was preceded in death by his parents; two brothers, Stephen and Paul; and his sister, Catherine “Cathy” Jones. Clay is survived by his children, Melissa (Chase) Goeckner of Jerome and Michael Jones of Wendell; as well as his grandchildren, Alyson and Bristol Goeckner; his sister, Peggy Flynn of Westfield, New Jersey; and many cousins, nieces and nephews. There was never a dull moment with Clay. He lived life on his owns terms up until his last day. The memories of him will live in us forever. He will be missed and never forgotten. A Celebration of Life for friends and family will take place in July of 2021, where his life will be honored BBQing and fishing, what he loved most. Further details to follow at a later date. Condolences, memories and photos may be shared with the family on Clay’s memorial webpage at www.farnsworthmortuary.com
Erick Standlee
Erick Standlee, 42, passed away February 17, 2021 at St. Luke’s Twin Falls with his parents by his side. Erick was born November 14, 1978 at St. Benedict’s in Jerome to Mark and Chris Standlee. A little sister, Jamie, was born into the family in 1981. Erick attended school in Wendell. He had many jobs, but his favorite was driving truck. His last job was at Hub City Building where he also delivered loads for them until, for health reasons, he could no longer maintain his CDL. He continued to work for them part-time where he was treated well. Erick loved the outdoors, going on countless camping trips with his family. He was an excellent dirt bike rider and snowmobiler. Erick was a tender-hearted person. You would never hear Erick speak an unkind word about anyone. He never wanted to hear others speaking hurtful words about others either. Erick loved the Lord and spent all his reading time studying his Bible. The world lost a kind soul when it lost Erick. He is survived by his parents, Mark and Chris Standlee of Wendell; sister, Jamie of Filer; nephew, Chase Miller of Filer; Gwen Standlee of Filer; grandmothers, Viola Standlee of Jerome and Judy Orsland of Twin Falls; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. Erick was preceded in death by his grandfathers, Don Standlee and Larry Orsland; and cousin, Coco Michelle Orsland. Erick will be missed very much! His family takes great comfort knowing that Erick is wrapped in the arms of the Lord. A Celebration of Erick’s Life will be held at 11:00 am, Saturday, March 6, 2021 at the New Life Church, 800 W Main St, Wendell, Idaho. Memories and condolences may be shared with the family on Erick’s memorial webpage at www.farnsworthmortuary.com

SURPLUS INVENTORY AUCTION The City of Gooding will be selling surplus inventory with Magic Valley Auction, LLC, 604 S Idaho St, Wendell, Idaho. Bidding opens on February 17, 2021 and closes March 17, 2021. Visit – www.mvaidaho.hibid.com to view the surplus items.
REASON FOR RECALL: We, the undersigned citizens and registered electors of the city of Hagerman, respectfully demand that Alan Jay, holding office of Mayor of the city of Hagerman, be recalled by the registered electors of the city of Hagerman for the following reasons: *Refuses to enforce Hagerman City codes. *Misuse and abuse of power. *Puts own agenda before the interest of the City. *Will not communicate, answer phone, never available. * Misappropriation of funds. *Lack of leadership skills. *Consistently puts city at risk for lawsuits - including: ADA laws, workplace harassment, Animal Control officer conduct and unaddressed complaints by the public. *Allows contracts to lapse and expire putting citizens at risk and leaving them without protected twenty-four hour a day law enforcement coverage. *Illegally overrides council members request to amend the agenda to converse about such contracts. *Does not follow the city rules and regulations. *Makes decisions without the backing of the council first. *Cost the City funds by not following through. *Creates a hostile work environment. *Uses City Hall & secretary for personal business. *Entered into contract for a building with School District without council approval, and then did not get proper permits until several months later. OFFICER'S JUSTIFICATION: The special interest group leading this recall is clearly mounting a solely personal attack on Mayor Alan Jay. These allegations are purely speculative, are mere opinion, misleading, and easily proven false as they are not based on facts. Alan Jay has served most of his life in service to our Country and is always looking out for the best interest of the community and the citizens of Hagerman. Mayor Jay has served 2 terms as Councilman, and is 1 of 2 City Council members with any prior experience in city government. Although the Covid-19 pandemic presented many obstacles, the City has solved many issues during difficult times. Mayor Jay has spearheaded many updates and improvements such as the revision of the animal codes to include changes asked for by the community, updating City manuals and improving City procedures that haven't been addressed for many years. Alan Jay has always been a productive part of the community and is always willing to give of himself in service to others. He is an effective leader who unites city staff to work together for the best interest of the community we serve. Alan Jay is a knowledgeable, motivated leader who gets things done. ○ FOR RECALLING Alan Jay who holds office of Hagerman City Mayor ○ AGAINST RECALLING Alan Jay who holds office of Hagerman City Mayor
