News Big Wood Vapors in Gooding
For those who engage in vaping, the closest place to obtain supplies is Jerome or Twin Falls. Tired of the drive from Gooding, Tabatha Eden and her son Ethan saw this as an opportunity for a new business. Apparently, others agree. Big Wood Vapors at 345 Main Street (corner of 4th and Main) in Gooding has been open for just over a week, and already business is booming. Open Monday thru Saturday from 11:30 to 8:00 and Sunday 12 to 6, Big Wood Vapers has wide variety popular vaping devices and flavors. And, if you are just curious about vaping, you are invited to come in and ask all the questions you want. Over the last twenty years, tobacco products have become socially unacceptable in many places. In 2004, Idaho passed the Clean Indoor Air Act which banned smoking in all enclosed public places, except in bars, retail tobacco stores, private clubs, and a few designated areas where minors are not allowed. Since then, a few Idaho municipalities have also banned smoking in bars and private clubs, as well as public outdoor spaces accessible to children. Originally developed to help smokers quit the habit, a “smokeless non-tobacco cigarette” was first invented in 1963. Because tobacco was still popular during that time, it received little attention. In 2001, a Chinese pharmacist invented the modern e-cigarette which was introduced to the Chinese market. These devices started to arrive in the U.S. between 2006 and 2007. The first e-cigarette was the shape of a small cigar, but today they come in all shapes and sizes. The refill liquid or e-juice comes in as many flavors as ever popular Jelly Belly candies. The e-juice also comes in varying levels of nicotine, from 0mg up to 50mg (cigarettes average about 12mg). Vaping produces very little odor and is generally exempt from state smoking bans. However, does that mean vaping is safe? Research done at Johns Hopkins Hospital shows that e-cigarettes are safer. E-cigarettes create a flavored water vapor you inhale while regular tobacco cigarettes contain 7,000 chemicals, many of which are toxic. That said, nicotine is still addictive. Vaping helps many people quit smoking, but they often remain addicted to nicotine. Because of the preceived benifits of vaping over tobacco, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of youth vaping. According to the U.S. Surgeon General 40 percent of high school vapers have never smoked regular tobacco. Ethan at Big Wood Vapers said he knows there are underaged students that vape, but he is not going to sell to them (you have to be 18 to purchase vaping supplies). Both Ethan and Tabatha are careful to check for appropriate identification.

Mormon Reservoir: Great Trout Fishing
By Brian Pearson, Conservation Public Information Specialist Work done at the reservoir greatly improved fishing, but it still faces challenges
Mormon Reservoir near Fairfield recently returned as a destination fishery that produces big trout and lots of them. While older anglers might remember (with a tinge of nostalgia) a time when this was the norm, it hasn’t been the case until a few years back when a series of events helped revive Mormon’s trout fishing. So what changed at Mormon Reservoir that allowed it to once again produce 20-inch trout, and lots of them? There were several factors that contributed to its resurgence. “First, management efforts have been made to reduce the aquatic vegetation that has caused annual winterkills,” said Doug Megargle, Magic Valley Region’s fisheries manager. “Second, planned and opportunistic trout stocking over the past four years have resulted in major increases in trout densities in the reservoir.” Anglers had a particularly impressive year fishing Mormon Reservoir in 2018. Megargle said some anglers reported 60 to 80 fish days, with “a good chunk” of those measuring over 20 inches.
Big Fish Stocking Boost a Boon for Anglers
Megargle explained that what’s most responsible for last year’s outstanding fishing was a massive stocking of 35,000 catchablesized trout in the reservoir in the fall of 2015. “For perspective, consider that we stocked 38,000 combined from 2007 through 2012 at Mormon Reservoir, compared to the 35,000 stocked in one year,” Megargle said. “That unusually high number was the result of fish being diverted from drought-

“Prescription drug abuse is on the rise in Idaho,” said MaryAnn Doshier, South Central Public Health Education Specialist. “It isn’t uncommon for people addicted to prescription drugs to dig through medicine cabinets while visiting friends and family. Help them battle their addiction by removing any chance they have of getting a fix from your old meds.” Last fall Americans turned in nearly 460 tons (more than 900,000 pounds) of prescription drugs at more than 5,800 sites operated by the DEA and almost 4,800 of its state and local law enforcement partners. Overall, in its 16 previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners have taken in almost 11 million pounds—nearly 5,500 tons—of pills. “Getting rid of your unused prescription drugs keeps your loved ones safe, and keep you from becoming an accidental dealer,” Doshier said. On Saturday, April 27th, agencies across South Central Idaho will host a drop off box. Anyone, of any age, can drop off old medications there safely. Find a full list of locations at phd5.idaho. gov. While using prescription drugs, it is important to keep them in a locked container to prevent theft. When it is time to throw out unused medication: • Take drugs out of original containers. • Mix drugs with used wet coffee grounds or cat litter. • Remember to conceal or remove personal information, including the RX number, from empty container so no one can duplicate the prescription.

...Mormon Reservoir: Great Trout Fishing continued

impacted reservoirs without sufficient water, combined with the planned stocking at Mormon.”
Recovering from Events that Lead to a Decline in Fishing
Until recently, Mormon Reservoir had not been ideal trout habitat for a decade or more. The fishery was decimated by multiple drought years that resulted in low water levels. “The greatest challenges at Mormon Reservoir have been low water storage and lethal biological oxygen demand that prevented fish from surviving over winter, which is what produces those 20-inch trout,” Megargle said. Thanks to a large number of irrigation reservoirs in the Magic Valley, Fish and Game has the privilege of developing and managing fisheries in waters that would otherwise not have any, but some factors that contribute to good fishing are beyond the agency’s control. “The challenge for fishery management is working with the sizeable annual fluctuations in reservoir water storage related to seasonal precipitation and irrigation demand,” Megargle said. “Fish habitat quality and quantity are often directly related to water storage levels that change on a year-to-year basis, making it difficult to provide a stable fishery.” The low water levels during drought years at Mormon Reservoir also caused an outbreak of smartweed, which made fishing difficult for anglers, and also contributed to trout winterkill after the smartweed died in the fall. Winterkill occurs when sunlight is blocked for extended periods, such as when a reservoir is covered by ice and snow. Low sunlight limits photosynthesis that produces oxygen, and low oxygen levels are exacerbated by bacteria that uses remaining oxygen to decompose dead vegetation, creating conditions that can be lethal for trout. More smartweed meant more dead plants for bacteria to break down and less oxygen available for trout, which in some years caused almost complete fish die off in the reservoir. On top of all that, years ago, the bridges to Mormon Reservoir were deemed unsafe, which hampered angler access.
Fortunes have Improved for Anglers and the Reservoir
In 2015, good survival rates in Fish and Game’s hatcheries resulted in extra trout available for stocking, and most were directed either to Mormon Reservoir or Salmon Falls Creek Reservoir. Trout originally destined for drought-stricken Little Camas Reservoir and Thorn Creek Reservoir were also redirected to Mormon. More stocking also was done in Mormon that year in anticipation of public access being restored by the construction of two new bridges in 2016. After a winterkill scare in the winter of 2016-17 when Fish and Game received reports of dead trout at the boat ramp, biologists feared their efforts had been negated, but they got a pleasant surprise when anglers reported fantastic trout fishing the following spring, and better fishing continued in 2018. “That was an amazing year for trout fishing at Mormon Reservoir,” Megargle said. To address smartweed, Fish and Game helped support Camas County’s efforts to use herbicide to control the outrbreak in the reservoir. An airplane treated about 750 acres in 2017, and around 500 acres in 2018. Anglers noticed an immediate improvement in boating and fishing access, and winter trout survival also improved. Water levels in the Magic Valley Region’s reservoirs have also recently improved with ample winter snow and spring rain, which allows fisheries managers to resume stocking formerly drought-stricken lakes, reservoirs and ponds. While beneficial for Mormon Reservoir, the huge 2015 stocking of catchable-sized trout was potentially a one-year deal. The chances of repeating 35,000 catchable trout available in a single year are slim because there’s a limited number of hatchery trout that must be shared among many lakes, reservoirs, ponds and streams in the region.
The Future is Uncertain
Many anglers are probably wondering if Mormon Reservoir will produce

the same amount of gigantic trout in 2019 as it did in 2017 and 2018. Probably not given that the huge numbers of catchablesized trout stocked in 2015 haven’t been repeated, and that’s what drove the eye-popping catch rates last year. Will stocked trout continue to successfully over-winter in Mormon Reservoir, allowing them to grow to the large sizes it was once famous for, albeit with fewer fish than in 2017 and 2018? That remains to be seen — even for this year. The winter snowpack was well above average, which should keep water levels higher for longer periods and prevent another smartweed explosion. But that same snowpack may have resulted in low oxygen conditions under the ice, so some winterkill is still a possibility. More will be known when all the ice thaws, which typically occurs in late April or early May, and anglers get out on the reservoir. “Mormon isn’t out of the woods yet,” Megargle said. “Trout survival through winter months isn’t a given, but they have a much better chance thanks to county and state collaboration in vegetation control.” Many things have changed at Mormon due to efforts by Fish and Game staff and other agencies to improve fishing, water quality and access. Anglers should enjoy the good fishing and the opportunity to catch trophy-sized trout, but realize it’s unlikely to last indefinitely. “We’re in a way better place than we were 10 years ago, but there are still many challenges to providing a consistent fishery,” Megargle said.

Gilbert “Gib” E. Pierson, 87, of Shoshone, Idaho passed away at North Canyon Medical Center on April 14, 2019 with family by his side. Gib was born July 8, 1931 in Lenapah, OK to Clyde Pierson & Edna Hanson. His family later moved to Gooding where he was raised and attended school. In his teenage years, Gib worked at Kendrick Drug which inspired him to pursue a career in Pharmacy. Although his education at Idaho State University was interrupted by military service during the Korean War, he completed his degree in pharmacy after returning home. Gib was working at Hills Drug in Boise when he met and married Wanda Johnson, acquiring an instant family, and raising her daughters as his own. The family moved to Shoshone in 1965 where they owned and operated Grosse Drug Store. His son Dan joined the family shortly after followed by his daughter Julie. Although Gib and Wanda were later divorced, Gib stayed in Shoshone and remained an active member in the business community. Taking his kids and grandkids fishing was his favorite past time, and many fond and joyous memories were made at his cabin at West Magic. Gib is survived by: his son, Dan (Deb) Pierson of Shoshone; daughters, Julie (Lynn) Hebdon of Kennewick, WA. and Diane Atkinson and Donna Gabbitas of Boise; 10 grandkids, and 11 great grandkids.

Water Supply Outlook Report
The Natural Resources Conservation Service in Idaho released the 2019 April Water Supply Outlook Report earlier this month. While March turned out to be a drier than normal month, thanks to February’s prodigious storms all indicators are that there will be adequate water for users throughout Idaho. Looking at precipitation, the lowest percentages were a third of average in northern Idaho. The Clearwater basin did slightly better at 40% of normal. Moving south, amounts increased, but only to 50 to 80% of average across central and southern Idaho. Greater precipitation amounts that were closer to near normal fell in Oakley and Bear River basins because the primary March storm track was across the Great Basin. South of the Owyhee, Bruneau, Salmon Falls and Goose headwaters in Nevada and Utah, March precipitation totals reached 150 to 200% of average. “Streamflow forecasts decreased slightly from March 1 because of the below normal March precipitation but still mirror the snowpack, increasing as you move from northern Idaho to southern Idaho,” said Ron Abramovich, Water Supply Specialist with the Idaho Natural Resources Conservation Service. As the snow accumulation season winds down, reservoir operators have a good feel for how much snow is in the mountains to meet and exceed this year’s water supplies. Since enough snow has fallen in the mountains to ensure adequate irrigation supplies this season, many of the farmers’ and irrigators’ decisions have already been made. For information on specific basins, streams, and reservoirs, please view the full report online at April Water Supply Outlook Report.

Cup of Tee
World War I was over and the rebuilding of the world showed prosperity in the 1920s. All monies weren’t going to the war effort. The life expectancy of a horse was about a week during the war pulling fighting equipment. With more horses around, agriculture was getting back on pace again. Even the cattle business showed growth because they weren’t being shipped off to war. With the cattle business moving forward in big steps, so was the use of horses in this business. It seemed like another Wild West was being reborn. Promoters began to put on shows with this Wild West homeland type entertainment. The promoters were showing the everyday work of the cowboys and their livestock. In those days, if a cowboy made $60-$80 a month, he was rich. Most only received about $1.50 per day, if they were lucky. Promoters took their stock from town to town. The cowboys naturally followed. Our first rodeos came out of this moving display of horses, cattle, and cowboys. The cowboys felt they should have a little more money to perform these rodeos that took them out of town. They were barely making it on their regular wages and now they had to travel and stay where for the promoters for the same wage. Even if their entry fees could be put in the prize purse, it would help. The promoters saw the deal as their show and why should the cowboys get more for their daily job. Instead of the promoters being in charge of

everything the cowboys did, the cowboys needed more say in what they did themselves. The cowboys created an association to help with their needs. It was called the Cowboy Turtle Association. It was so named because they were a little slow about sticking their heads out but they were there to win the race no matter how long it took. Alice Greenough Orr, a genuine rodeo queen from Red Lodge, Montana, put her support in the new association. In 1936, promoter Col. W.T. Johnson was putting on his Boston Garden Rodeo. The Cowboy Turtle Association went on strike. They demanded higher wages. No pay, no show, was the association’s deal. Col. Johnson caved to the demands. This gave way to cowboy’s better wages and injury compensation. W.T. Johnson, being a good showman, also helped the cowboys earlier by making them dress for the show. There were no half sole boots, worn out hat, and ripped shirts. Intentionally or not, Mr. Johnson did a great deal for professional rodeo. In 1945, the Cowboy Turtle Association became the Rodeo Cowboy Association (RCA). Then in 1975, it became the Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association (PRCA). This is my “Cup of Tee” from the saddle.
