Camas County to Address Public Airports
Up until three years ago, the legal obligation in Idaho for zoning land around public airports was in the hands of the Idaho Transportation Department’s Division of Aeronautics. Unfortunately, the lack of resources made it nearly impossible for ITD to exercise that authority. In 2014 the Idaho Legislature passed legislation moving the obligation for airport zoning from ITD to local land use agencies, and on March 13, 2014, Governor Butch Otter signed Senate Bill 1265 into law. The new law requires planning and zoning commissions to consider the current and future needs and community impacts of public airports as part of their comprehensive plan, and to complete any needed zoning around airports in accordance with state statutes. The law also identifies public airports as essential community facilities that provide safe transportation alternatives and contribute to the economy of the state. One of the main goals of zoning land around airports is to prevent residential encroachment on airports that may lead to individuals complaining about noise, pollution, and other hazards. Poor planning often leaves airports surrounded by houses, churches, schools, and other sensitive development. With proper planning, communities can better coexist with their airport while protecting local, state, and federal airport investments. On April 4th, 2017, the Camas County P&Z commission will hold a special
workshop to consider the addition of a new section - Section XVII, Public Airports - to the Comprehensive Plan for Camas County. The meeting will be held at the Camas County Senior Center (125 West Willow Avenue) in Fairfield. Photo by Winston Ellis, Camas County Airport Manager
Thomas Kinder Earns Angus Awards
Thomas Kinder, Hagerman, Idaho, has earned the National Junior Angus Association’s (NJAA) Bronze and Silver awards, according to Jaclyn Clark, education and events director of the American Angus Association® in Saint Joseph, Mo. The 16-year-old son of Willis and Cindy Kinder attends Hagerman Senior High School and is a member of the NJAA and the Idaho Junior Angus Association. Thomas has participated in local, state and regional shows and showmanship contests and submitted weight data to the Angus Herd Improvement Records (AHIR®). The Bronze and Silver awards are the first two levels of the NJAA Recognition Program that began in 1972. Junior Angus breeders must apply for the awards, then meet point requirements in many areas of participation before receiving the honors. Applicants are evaluated in areas of junior Angus association activities and leadership, participation in showmanship, contests and shows, using performance testing to improve their herd and their progress in producing and merchandising Angus cattle. The NJAA promotes the involvement of young people in raising Angus cattle, while also providing leadership and self-development opportunities for the nearly 6,000 active members nationwide.

Camas Royalty Program
Legislative Update from Representative Sally Toone
Higher Education Budget JFAC is proposing a 2.7% increase in the higher education budget for next year. Although some regard it as a hefty increase, it should be remembered that the cost to attend a public college or university in Idaho is up by an average of 189% since 2002. The increase in next year’s budget does not guarantee there won’t be further increases in tuition and fees. ABLE Act

(D-16) 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 Rock Chuck Derby This year’s annual Rock Chuck Derby will be held April equipment maintenance, and dental care. 19th thru 23rd.

“Rolling Coal” The Idaho Senate has killed a proposal that would have banned diesel vehicle operators from intentionally releasing sootfilled black fumes. Senate members narrowly voted 16-18 to kill the so-called “coal rolling” or “rolling coal” ban on Monday. Many felt the law was needed to protect both the public’s safety and health. However, critics countered that law enforcement agencies already have the authority in state code to pull over drivers who roll coal. HEALTH CARE The Senate rejected Medicaid expansion Thursday afternoon with Senator Maryanne Jordan (D-Boise) pushing the plan. She said, “The counties are bearing a huge burden... There’s a tremendous savings to both the counties and the state to go forward.” Unfortunately, the amendment adopted will only cover about 15,000 of the gap, with a few more that might qualify for a pilot project. TAXES AND MORE CONVERSATION The Senate overturned the House tax cut with a grocery tax repeal during the amendment process. This is a great day as this cuts the tax for all Idahoans. It is applied to everyone equally as food is a basic need of us all. It was done on a bipartisan vote in the Senate and needs to go the floor of both houses to finish up. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you. I enjoy hearing your thoughts and concerns. Please feel free to contact me with questions or concerns at stoone@house. idaho.gov, or 208-332-1032. Respectfully, Sally Toone

obit ua ry Jeanetta Ree Knowles
Jeanetta Ree Knowles, 87, of Dietrich, Idaho, passed away March 3, 2017 at Lincoln County Care Center in Shoshone, Idaho. Her loving family attended her as she departed to join her loved ones on the other side. Jeanetta was born January 28, 1930 in North Shoshone to Ward A. Mills and Thelma Dille Mills. She was their third child. She grew up living the life of a farm girl working alongside her parents, five brothers and three sisters. There were many times of laughter as well as hardships in her youth. She graduated from Shoshone High School in 1947. While attending a dance in Shoshone, she met the love of her life, Don Knowles. After a whirlwind courtship, they were married August 28, 1947 in Elko, Nevada. Jeanetta and Don were later sealed in the Twin Falls Temple in July of 2010. Don was employed by the Union Pacific Railroad, so the couple made their home in Dietrich, Idaho. To this union six children were born: Connie, Ronald, Leora, Lorinda, Leo, and Sunny. Jeanetta was a dedicated, loving mother who protected and nurtured her family. There was always a hot meal, and a kind word for anyone who entered her home. She was a wonderful cook which blessed many. Jeanetta not only cared for family and friends, she served her community in many capacities. She was the Mayor of Dietrich from 1988 – 2008. She was the catalyst for a large city improvement project in the township of Dietrich to build a new well and a new water and sewer system. She was a driving force in acquiring grants to assist the community with other improvement projects as well. Jeanetta was an avid supporter of Dietrich Schools and athletic programs as well as a cook in the Dietrich Schools lunch program. She worked as a nurse’s aide for many years at the Wood River Convalescent Home (now Lincoln County Care Center). Jeanetta was active as a 4-H Leader, and a L.D.S. Ward and Stake Camp Director for many years. She served faithfully in her Church responsibilities and callings. Later in her life, she and Don were involved in the Operation Life Saver Project and spent many hours volunteering tirelessly for the education of Railroad Crossing Safety at many public venues. Many of Jeanetta’s fondest memories included trips of traveling to Alaska, fishing and sightseeing. She enjoyed camping and hunting with her family and friends. She was an expert shot with a rifle and loved the great outdoors of Idaho. Jeanetta also loved to garden, can her winter supply, and pamper her beautiful roses. Jeanetta is survived by her children, Ronald (RaNelle), Leora (Jerry) Johnson, Lorinda (Dave) Reynolds, Sunny (Tim) Shaw; daughter in law, Beth DeMott; a sister, Sandra (George) Aggeler; a brother, Arthur Mills; sister in-law, Edith Ward, as well as thirteen grandchildren, and thirty–five great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, Ward and Thelma; her loving husband, Don; her daughter, Connie; son Leo; son in law, Frank Carrie; a granddaughter, Marisah; a grandson, Jacob; four brothers, Jack, Donald, Darwin and Kip, and two sisters, Virginia and Versa. The family would like to thank Dr. Keith Davis, and Lincoln County Care Center for their love, loyalty, and service to our mother. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Jeanetta’s name to Lincoln County Care Center at 510 East 4th Street, Shoshone, Idaho, 83352. Funeral Services were held on Saturday, March 11, 2017 at the Dietrich L.D.S. Church with burial at the Shoshone Cemetery.

Cup of Tee It’s Never Too Late to Quit by Tee Hurd
Each and every one of us has watched a cartoon. We each probably had our favorite. We probably have laughed, got irritated, related to, or have been persuaded by cartoons. They give us humor, give us feelings above and beyond our daily life, and educated us. A question in my mind is... why as adults do we still enjoy cartoon? Cartoons are merely lines put together with some color added. They are the same whether they are on TV, in newsprint, or advertising some product by being placed on it. Are cartoons illusions or are they a series of dots in which our brain puts together for its strive to exist? However our brain sorts things out, we have been exposed to cartoons since we were kids, especially if we were born after 1960. Young children are so eager to learn. They are busy bodies and really focus on TV. Cartoons are a need and tendency to activeness. It seems the cartoons always have a loser who can’t win for nothing. Are our cartoons loading society with a group of children with negative impacts carried into adulthood? Cartoons give children an image that they are bulletproof (imitators of cartoons). Children can’t tell the difference between real and unreal. We get heros created out of people who commit crimes. The violence and crime in cartoons go unpunished. We have a group of kids that are desensitized because they don’t respect life because the cartoons show no value for life. In order to graduate, a person uses 13,000 hours of school. During that same time a person will view 18,000 hours of television. Maybe some of that time should include writing in cursive and reading (slowly forgotten tools). Adults watch cartoons as a sense of humor, as a catalyst to memory of times better, as monumental time line hurdles, and as a mirror to reflect daily life. Marketing and advertising people know how to get kid’s attention for lots of years of sales. They make people feel like losers if they don’t use their products. These things are done with cartoons and their space. Is shopping done by children or adults? How much pull do children really have? Think about everything that has a cartoon on it - the Pink Panther on insulation, the Cracker Jacks kids, Ready Kilowatt from Idaho Power, Charlie from Starkist Chicken of the Sea, Elsie the Cow for Carnation Milk, elves for Keebler Cookies, and all the characters for cereals are just a few. The list go on... and on. Today’s time includes emojis on the internet. As an adult I look at cartoons and wonder what attracts me to them. Do we all live in fantasy land and the cartoons control us? Do we all have a need to connect the dots and lines? Are we all brainwashed that we have no recall answers because of cartoons? This week’s letter has me confused. I think it’s the cartoons way to control me. This is my “Cup of Tee” changing channels.
Beginning April 5th, Health Education Specialist, Cody Orchard, at South Central Public Health, will begin leading tobacco cessation classes throughout south central Idaho. He is looking for participants. Quitting can be difficult, but Orchard is ready to help smokers start their “Quit Journey”. The health district is partnering with the Wellness Tree and St. Luke’s Wood River to provide Freedom From Smoking®classes. Classes will be offered in Twin Falls and Hailey.
