Library Grant Provides New Picnic Tables Landowners/Managers Conference Last August, the Gooding Public Library March 29-31, 2021 Foundation received a AARP Community Challenge grant from AARP Livable Communities. Gooding PLF was one of 184 awardees chosen for 2020. The plan was to use these funds to creating an outdoor common area on the shared green space of the Gooding municipal building. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for social distancing was important, and the outdoor space would provide an area for patrons to read, eat, relax, and participate in library programs when visiting the library. Due to delays in receiving the mattirials, the improvements had to wait until this spring. With the snow gone, city crew memebers chipped in to help install two uncovered picnic tables and two covered picnic tables, two of which will be handicapped accessible. There will also be two lidded trash cans. With the library’s wifi extending out to this area, it is a great new place to enjoy the upcoming summer. The Gooding PLF thanks the ARRP for the generous support that made these picnic tables possible, and for helping make the Gooding community a great place for all ages. If you have been to the library recently, you might have noticed a collection of gift items made at the library with a 3D laser Glowforge printer. This printer was made possible by a grant from Union Pacific last year. They can make craft items like cutting boards, earrings, bracelets, leather badges for clothing, and ornaments. Watch for upcoming classes.

The Gooding library is also reaching outside their building. Thanks to a grant from the Idaho Commission for Libraries, a Literacy space was created at the Laundromat on Main a table and chairs, posters, book shelves, books, and chalkboard for children to use while their parents do their laundry! Thank you to Tami Becker-Anderson for making this space available and to Frank Allbritton for installing it all.

All family forest, farm, and ranch landowners and managers are invited to the 32nd annual Family Forest Landowners & Managers Conference on March 29-31, 2021. This will be their first ever virtual conference on the Zoom platform so you can attend from the comfort of your own home. To register for the conference, go to www.uidaho.edu/fflmc. The 2021 Conference will focus on the ways in which Idaho’s forest landowners and managers can work together to meet the challenges of good forest management in the next decade. The theme of this year’s conference is... THE ROARING 20s: A CALL TO ACTION Managing Idaho’s Forests in the New Decade Bruce Vincent from Environomics will discuss forest action and activity from a management perspective; Tamara Cushing, president of the Society of American Foresters will talk about the direction of SAF in this new decade; and Jim Peterson from the Evergreen Foundation will talk about the importance of first putting out the fires. The Local Level Action session will feature advice on making forest collaboratives work by Michael Peterson of the Lands Council; communicating for action by Nadine Bailey of the Family Water Alliance; and a panel discussion of forest action across landscapes with representatives from the Idaho Department of Lands, the US Forest Service, the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), and the Idaho Department of Fish and Game. The final sessions on Monday will feature sessions on your forest as a business. This track will feature information on setting up your forest as a business, making sure you are properly insured, and understanding the essentials of good contracts. On Tuesday morning the “Industry and Me” panel forum will explore the relationship between private forest landowners and industrial landowners while the “Circle of Stewards” panel will give private forest landowners a chance to share projects they’ve implemented in their forests. These panels will be followed by several sessions on prescribed fire and its impact on forest health beginning with an update from Mark Boyle of the Department of Environmental Quality continued on page 3... on Smoke Management Practices...

Public Comment Requested on Hoodoo Meadows Airstrip

The Idaho Transportation Department’s Division of Aeronautics is seeking public comments as it considers restoring and managing a backcountry airstrip in the Salmon-Challis National Forest. The Hoodoo Meadows airstrip is the highest in the state at an elevation of 8,200 feet, and provides access to the Frank Church – Wilderness of No Return. The airstrip is located just south of Yellowjacket Lake and near the popular Bighorn Crags area. It has not been used since the 1980s. Together, the U.S. Forest Service, Idaho Department of Fish and Game, and ITD, with support from the Idaho Aviation Association and the Recreation Aviation Foundation, are working on an agreement to reopen the airstrip for air travel and provide for future maintenance. Visit itd.idaho.gov/aero to review the project, then please provide ITD your feedback on the plan. Public comments will be accepted from March 15 to March 29 through the following options: Email jillian.garrigues@itd.idaho.gov or record verbal testimony by calling (855) 785-2499, or... send your written comments by mail to: Idaho Transportation Department ATTN: Jillian Garrigues PO Box 7129 --- Boise, ID 83707

Manard Cemetery

from CCCD

Those of you who read the articles last fall regarding the Camas County Cemetery District may remember that we shared the fact that the Cemetery District did not own Manard Cemetery. While it has always been used as part of the Cemetery District, it was actually the property of the LDS Church. After doing our own work in figuring out the status of this property, we contacted attorney Will Varin, and he began the process of contacting the LDS Church. The Church came to the conclusion that they actually did own this property although it was not on their rolls. They completed paperwork on their end, and contacted us to make sure we were actually a legal cemetery district before they would transfer ownership. The deed was transferred from the LDS Church to the Camas County Cemetery District on February 3, 2021. We want to thank Will Varin for his assistance in helping the Cemetery District to finally become the deed holders for the Manard Cemetery.

...Landowners/Managers Conference continued

...and Prescribed Fire use. Paul Buckland of Inland Empire Paper will explain how the use of prescribed fire affected the Hunter 2 fire, and Heather Heward will discuss the importance of promoting the safe and effective use of prescribed fire. Tuesday morning will be rounded out by a forest health update on insect and disease challenges provided by Erika Eidson, Forest Health Specialist with the Idaho Department of Lands. Tuesday afternoon will explore wildlife issues in forest management. Presenters will discuss moose decline in Idaho, chronic wasting disease in northwestern deer, and bird watching for forest landowners. Allthough this is not an in person conference, attendees will still be able to purchase raffle tickets and bid on silent auction items. This year’s raffle items include a Dewalt battery operated chainsaw, a pair of White’s boots, and a fly-fishing lesson and lures. To purchase raffle tickets, go to www.uidaho.edu/fflmc, and to bid on silent auction items (too numerous to mention!) go to www.uidaho.edu/forestauction.

More Trout Donated to Southwest Idaho Waters

by Evin Oneale, Regional Communications Manager

Trout destined for restaurant dinner plates are instead coming to Southwest Idaho fishing waters, the result of a pandemic-induced sluggish economy and temporary restaurant closures across the country. Blind Canyon Aqua Ranch near Wendell, Idaho has donated more than 50,000 catchable-sized rainbow trout, all of which will be stocked in public waters across the breadth of southern Idaho. “We’re indebted to Blind Canyon Aqua Ranch for their thoughtful donation of these fish that can be enjoyed by Idaho’s fishing community,” Fish and Game Regional Fisheries Manager John Cassinelli noted. In the Southwest Region, some of the donated trout were stocked in Middleton’s Duff Lane Pond (100 fish), and Star Pond West in the community of Star (800 fish) on March 11. Additional stocking will occur during the week of March 14 at these locations: Location # of Trout Stocked Crane Falls Reservoir 1,500 Dick Knox Ponds (Emmett) 1,500 Rotary Pond (Caldwell) 800 Sawyers Pond (Emmett) 800 With the weather warming, it’s time to get out, enjoy those sunny days and drop a line in the water. A resident fishing license – good for the remainder of 2021 – costs a bit more than $30, while a junior license (ages 14-17) costs only $16. Children 13 and under fish for free in Idaho.

Cup of Tee

I have been looking everywhere for a hour of time I lost. My first thought was I, perhaps, left it in the closet. After all, it seems to have disappeared during the night. Then I looked under the bed. Still no luck. Maybe I left it in the living room where I took off my boots. Nothing was there either. Now I’m beginning to really wonder... have I lost some of my memory? Everywhere I have been and everything I have done seems to check out. Then the unthinkable has entered into place. Was I abducted by aliens during my sleep? That may explain why I can’t find that lost hour. Am I alone in the question at hand? Did any of you experience the loss of an hour? I can only surmise that the answer is that I, and perhaps you, are in a state of dreaming. Your mind can take you around the world or into outer space in a matter of seconds. Have you ever woke up, looked at the time, and went back to sleep only to awake after a dream noting the time was just a short while? But yet, the dream seemed like an eternity!!! The origin of Daylight Savings Time started in Germany during World War 1. Having a need to save some money during the war, Germany did a daylight savings time to convert fuel use in factories to war production. England and Russia soon followed the daylight savings time in order to save precious funds that both countries had deplet-

ed. The United States followed approximately two year afterwards in their war effort. After World War 1, most all countries that implemented daylight savings time went back to original time. Canada, the United States, Britain and Australia (under British rule) kept the daylight savings time. If the thought of abandoning daylight savings was in place, it was cancelled during the 1970s energy crisis. Today, Arizona and Hawaii don’t recognize daylight savings time. England changes time two weeks after the United States. Have you notice more use of power in the morning? (Just saying...) Daylight Savings Time seems to be war related profiting. Do we have the need? When time falls back, one has the time to share with one another because the time is there. When it springs forward, we can only speculate and dream cause it’s not there. This is my “Cup of Tee” - time.

FLOODPLAIN ~ Preliminary Notice City of Gooding, Idaho

The City of Gooding, Idaho intends to seek financial assistance from USDA, Rural Utilities Service (RUS) for construction of improvements to the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). The intent of the WWTP improvements is to replace aging or failing components of the existing treatment system with a more efficient system to meet the new permit requirements. The proposed improvements will utilize City-owned land southwest of the existing WWTP to build the new treatment plant components. It is anticipated that all construction activities, such as clearing, grading, excavation, construction, utility installations, fencing, etc., will take place within the City-owned site and will only raise a maximum of 2 acres for structures and roads above the elevation of 3,539 feet. The elevation increase will be the result of foundations for the buildings and pavement for the access roads (soil importing is anticipated to be minimal). In accordance with Executive Order 11988, Floodplain Management and USDA Departmental Regulation 9500-3, Land Use Policy, the purpose of this notice is to inform the public of this proposed conversion or effect and request comments concerning the proposal, alternative sites or actions that would avoid these impacts, and methods that could be used to minimize these impacts. The environmental documentation regarding this proposal is available for review at the USDA Rural Development Twin Falls Office at 1441 Fillmore Ave N c, Twin Falls, ID 83301. For questions regarding this proposal, contact Tony Ballestero at 208-779-3438. Any person interested in commenting on this proposal should submit comments to the address above by March 31, 2021.
