Gooding Community Chorale Invited to Sing at Lincoln Center
The Gooding Community Chorale (GCC) has been invited to participate in a performance of a premier work by composer, Pepper Choplin, on the Distinguished Concerts International New York (DCINY) concert series. The concert is to take place on May 29, 2017, in David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. Gooding Community Chorale’s participants include singers and musicians from throughout the Magic Valley that have performed annual non-denominational Christmas and Easter Cantatas in Gooding for over ten years at no cost to audiences. A recent Easter cantata performed by GCC was “Come Walk With Me,” with words and music by Pepper Choplin. Rick Strickland, Director, was later contacted by DCINY, a concert production company which brings together singers and musicians for New York performances of renowned composers’ work. Ten members of the GCC will travel to New York City on May 26, to participate in rehearsals prior to the May 29th performance at Lincoln Center, joining a 250-voice choir comprised of choral groups from across the country that have performed Pepper Choplin’s work in their commuGCC Director nities. The singers will be accompanied by a New York Rick Strickland orchestra. GCC members will be paying their own travel and expenses. If you would like to learn more information, or make a tax-deductible contribution to GCC, please contact Director, Rick Strickland, at 208-539-5210 or email him at rick@rickstricklandrealestate.com
Idaho’s Water Supply Outlook Looking Strong
The Natural Resources Conservation Service just released the third water supply outlook report for the 2016 water year. Precipitation since the water year started on October 1, 2016, is above average across the state, ranging from 110% of average in the Clearwater basins to 200% in the Little Wood and Big Lost basins. “During February, the mountains of Idaho received 150% to 500% of normal monthly precipitation,” said Daniel Tappa, hydrologist with the Idaho Natural Resources Conservation Service. The highest snowpack in Idaho can currently be found in the Big Lost, Fish Creek and Little Wood basins which are nearly 200% of median. The lowest snowpacks are between 90 and 110% of median in the
Panhandle Region basins. In heavy snow years, the snowpack is often more efficient in producing streamflow, so water users should look closely at conditions in their specific basin. Based on Idaho’s Surface Water Supply Index, water supply shortages are not expected. In addition, plenty of soil moisture already in the ground may reduce the initial irrigation demand, which means additional water may be available to use or release. “There will be abundant water supplies across Idaho this year,” Tappa noted. “Early March storms are expected to bring several feet of snow into the western and northern parts of the state, which is a reminder that winter isn’t over yet.” www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs

Serving with all Gentleness & Compassion...
This is a position normally reserved for the Lt Governor, but work required his presence elsewhere. It was great to be on the other side of the gavel for a day routing bills through the legislative process! Victim’s Rights Senator Todd Lakey (R-12) sponsored a resolution SJR 103 expanding the scope of rights to victims of crimes. The resolution aims to amend the constitution to allow for a reasonable and timely notification of victims about criminal justice proceedings for the accused including but not limited to release from prison, moving to another facility, or coming up for a parole hearing. Current standards often leave victims with little to no time to react to these proceedings, which in some cases have actually resulted in death of a victim. The resolution also expands the definition of victim to include other individuals like surviving family members of murdered persons. If this resolution passes both the Senate and the House, it will be on the next election ballot for voter approval. AHCA - Replacing the ACA Speaker Paul Ryan’s American Health Care Act (AHCA), which repeals and replaces the Affordable Care Act (ACA), was unveiled this week and bring difficult implications for Idaho. If Idaho decides to expand Medicaid and begin accepting federal matching funds before 2020, we will receive a 70% matching rate. There will be no new applicants accepted to Medicaid after 2020, and if a person lets their enrollment lapse they will be permanently kicked off assistance and will not be allowed back on. If Idaho chooses not to expand Medicaid, in 2020 we will begin to receive some portion of a $10 billion block grant over 5 years ($2 billion per year) which will be proportionately distributed by population to non-expansion states. It is important to note that at this time, the $10 billion will be distributed amongst
19 states including large population bases like Texas, North Carolina, and Florida which likely leaves Idaho with a small fraction of the funds to cover the gap. Failing to expand Medicaid and accept matching funds is a waste of money and it hangs 78,000 Idahoans out to dry. School Board Trustee Elections The move to push school board trustee elections to the general election in November, SB 1103, is damaging to school board elections. This bill limits school district employees like superintendents and public affairs personnel from educating the public on ballot issues including bonds and levees. Board members elected in November are ill prepared to make district budget decisions that are due early in the following year. Additionally, trustee candidates are nonpartisan and tend to have minimal resources to compete with attention when compared with well-funded statewide races with which they would be sharing the ballot. Senator WardEngelking (D-18) proposed an amendment to move the election to odd years, so that it would share a ballot with nonpartisan races. The amendment failed on a close vote. ABLE Act This week, Senator Grant Burgoyne’s (D16) legislation calling for the creation of savings accounts for disabled Idahoans, passed in the Senate 29-6. It allows those with disabilities to open an ABLE Account and save up to $100,000 or $14,000 a year. Currently, if someone with a disability saves more than $2,000 a year they will lose eligibility for programs such as Social Security or Medicaid. This means people on disability cannot save for critical quality of life measures like a wheelchair ramp, vital equipment maintenance, and dental care. HB41 is now on its way to the Governor’s desk to be signed into law. As always, please feel free to contact me with any comments or questions.

...but never Compromising the Truth.
Letter to the Editor alliance
Dear Parents and Patrons of Camas County School District 121: I never get tired of bragging about Camas County School District. Recently I became aware of something to really brag about. In January a “Niche” publication ranked our school district as the 6th best in Idaho. Niche is a company that guides people in relocation to find the best places to live in each and every state. Obviously quality of education is a priority and a consideration for many if not most parents. I urge you to do a Google search for “2017 Best School Districts in Idaho”. I guarantee you that you will be overwhelmed with pride as I was. This ranking is based on rigorous analysis of key statistics and reviews from students and parents using data from the U.S. Department of Education. Ranking factors include: State test scores SAT/ACT scores
College readiness Teacher quality
Graduation rates Public school district ratings
This ranking also was based upon parent and student survey responses regarding: Academics Teacher quality
Culture and diversity Resources and facilities
Health and safety Student participation in clubs and extracurricular activities
None of this could happen without your continued support of our school system. In Fairfield we get it! CHILDREN ARE IMPORTANT! Speaking of that, on March 14th a supplemental levy election was held at the County Library and the spring music concert in the gymnasium at 7:00 p.m. that same day. If approved the March 14, 2017 supplemental levy will not increase your property taxes. It will be for the same amount we levied last year. Jim Cobble, Thank you for your continued support, Superintendent of Schools

from the Editor
There is a lot of speculation going on regarding the cause of the ground water contamination north of Shoshone, and right now that is all it is... speculation. Accusations have been leveled at one or more dairies in the area alleging illegal disposal of dairy waste into an irrigation canal. However improper that activity might be, it is highly unlikely that is the source of ground water contamination. The number one cause of water-quality problems in domestic wells is bacterial contamination from septic systems. The second most common cause is barnyard waste. Other things that impact water quality include pesticides, fertilizers, and petroleum products. Almost without exception, all of these contaminates are introduced into ground water through unprotected well heads. In general, wells must be located at least 100 feet away from septic systems, barnyards, etc. Other requirements to prevent runoff water from entering wells include casing that extends above the ground, concrete and/or bentonite seal around pipe, and grading the ground away from wells. Unfortunately, in flood situations those precautions may not be enough, and in severe flooding, ground water contamination may come from multiple wells. Additionally, flooding can impact septic systems. To operate correctly, leach fields must remain relatively dry. If the ground become overly saturated, the natural filtering properties of the earth are lost as effluent move rapidly through the ground along with the water. According to South Central Public Health District Director Rene LeBlanc, the source of the ground water issue north of Shoshone is not known, neither do they know if it is one source or ten. Currently, retesting is being done to determine whether the issue is improving or remaining the same. Test results should be available later this week.
