The Mid America CropLife Association (MACA) Board of Directors has selected nine college students to participate in the MACA Young Leader Scholarship Program (YLSP), including one local student. Charlotte Brockman, Gooding, Idaho, is attending the University of Nebraska – Lincoln. Brockman is pursuing a major in Agronomy with a minor in Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Communications. She plans to graduate in May 2025. Her internship will be at CSS Farms in Kearney, NE.

This is the eleventh year for the program, which is designed to expose future agriculturalists to the crop protection industry and potential career opportunities. Recipients receive financial compensation, additional training for finding a job plus the opportunity to network with MACA members. MACA members benefit by developing a talent pool of future industry leaders and through the heightened awareness of MACA within the participating universities.

The recipients’ educational focus is agriculture, enrolled at one of the land-grant universities in the MACA region and have secured a 2023 summer internship related to agriculture, preferably within the crop protection industry. Additionally, the selected recipients will attend the MACA Annual Meeting September 5-7, 2023, in Indianapolis, Indiana and speak about their internship experience and participate in the meeting with MACA members. After completing the summer internship, the scholarship recipients receive a $2,000 scholarship to assist with their tuition expenses.

Construction on I-84 Between Jerome and Twin Falls

As part of Governor Brad Little’s Leading Idaho Transportation initiative, the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) has begun a project to widen I-84 between the South Jerome Interchange (Exit 168) and the Twin Falls Interchange (Exit 173). Construction begins this week on this 2.5-year project.

I-84 serves as a primary interstate route, and traffic counts are expected to increase substantially over the next 20 years. The existing interstate will not be able to accommodate anticipated future traffic volumes. These improvements will increase capacity and improve safety on I-84 to serve South-central Idaho for years to come. In 2023, motorists should expect:

 I-84 will be restricted to one lane in each direction at night. Occasional daytime lane restrictions may be necessary.

 Rolling closures on I-84 will occur this spring/summer for blasting rock in the median.

 Traffic shifts will be used throughout construction.

 The speed limit on I-84 will be reduced.

Stop Lead Ammo, Tackle Ban

Press Release from Senators Crapo & Risch

Senators Mike Crapo and Jim Risch (both R-Idaho) joined Senator Steve Daines (R-Montana) to introduce legislation to prohibit the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) from banning the use of traditional lead ammunition or tackle on public lands unless such action is supported by the best available science and state wildlife and fish agencies.

“The attack on the way Idahoans live continues at the hands of the Biden Administration,” said Crapo. “Hunting and fishing are part of the cultural fabric that binds Idahoans to the land and environment they love, while maintaining the conservation and management of wildlife through sound, scientific practices. Banning traditional ammo and tackle alienates sportsmen and women who cannot access or afford lead alternatives.”

“Hunting and fishing is a way of life in Idaho, but recent attempts by the administration to ban affordable lead ammunition and tackle is getting in the way of practicing and sharing these traditions,” said Risch. “The Protecting Access for Hunters and Anglers Act will ensure Idaho’s sportsmen and women can continue to use lead ammo and tackle rather than expensive alternatives.”

In spring 2021, the USFWS entered into settlement negotiations with activist organizations over a lawsuit regarding the use of traditional lead ammunition on more than three million acres of federal land. Crapo and Risch joined their colleagues in urging USFWS Director Martha Williams not to cave in to activists’ calls to restrict the use of lead ammo and tackle on public lands.

Last year, the USFWS finalized a plan to open 40,000 acres of federal land to hunting and fishing activities. However, the agency banned the use of lead ammunition or tackle on these lands, despite a lack of scientific evidence that the use of lead ammo and tackle was causing specific harms. -- -- --

Crapo and Risch also co-sponsored this legislation in the 117th Congress.

Mary Severe McLean

Mary Agnes Severe peacefully passed away on April 13, 2023, at the age of 79 years old. She was born on January 28, 1944 in Gooding and raised there where her mother was a school teacher at Gibbons elementary school.

After graduation from Gooding High school, she attended Albion Normal School and from there lived for a short time in Reno. After which she returned to Idaho, married Phil Burley and had three daughters. In her forties she then married her second husband James McLean. Eventually she settled in the Hagerman area and lived the remainder of her years there and enjoyed her friends, painting, fishing and spending time with her granddaughters.

Mary was a painter and photographer; she was celebrated for her photography and journalism on the front page of the Gooding County Leader in the 80's. She was well known throughout the Magic Valley. Proud of her heritage of the camas prairie and the many fond memories of her grandparents’ home ranch on east Willow Creek. She enjoyed visiting about her life and family with friends and acquaintances about the many adventures she had with her parents as her father cut many new roads in the mountains above Fairfield and his mining explorations. One of her fondest memories was how her grandmother would always have a big bread bowl of pop-corn on the kitchen table that had been made on an old wood cook stove.

She reconnected with her love of camping and exploring the last few years of her life. In August of '21 her family made a trip to the City of Rocks where she insisted on "roughing it" and spent the trip in her own tent with small amenities. She was thrilled to share her knowledge of geology and memories of her father on that trip.

Mary is survived by the loving community of Hagerman; her three daughters - Shannon Burley (Jeff), Rayna Burley Neil (Steve), Ovvie Burley Bray (Jason); one grandson - Adrian Carlson; three great grandsons - Alexzander Carlson, Easton Carlson, Maverick Carlson; two granddaughters - Kyta Sellers (Terrell Wise) and Hadies Sellers; her four nephews - Larry Severe, Terry Severe, Mark Severe and Marvin Severe; great niece - Emilee Anne Severe; and four young ladies that adopted Mary whom she loved dearly - Holly, Jill, Chastity and Charity.

Mary very much was looking forward to meeting Atlis Wise who should arrive any day.

She was preceded in death by her parents, mother - Agnes Thurber Severe, father - Raymond Lawrence Severe Sr.; brother - Lawrence Raymond Severe Jr, his wife - Bernice Owings Severe; nephews - Raylyn Severe, Rick and Rod Mangum; grandson - Shane Michael Neil; and various dear friends that have left before her. The family will have a private memorial on Willow Creek when weather permits.

Thomas Blair Sorensen

Thomas Blair Sorensen, 73, of Richfield, passed away comfortably in his home on Saturday, April 8, 2023. Surrounded by his loved ones, he went on his final and greatest walkabout.

Blair was born January 25, 1950 in Gooding, Idaho, to Bruce Wyler Sorensen and Marguerite “Roxy” Roseberry Sorensen. He was the oldest of their four children – Blaine “Curly” Sorensen, Becky (Fred) Rios and Shelly (Layne) Asay.

Blair graduated from Richfield High School in 1968. He then went to work for the Ketchum Railroad for a time before leaving for Basic Training in Fort Lewis, Washington. Upon returning he married his high school sweetheart – Vickie Guenechea on April 25, 1970. She was the love of his life for 53 years. They were blessed with two children – Gregory James (Esmeralda) Sorensen and Tawnya Racquel Sorensen, and were later blessed again with four grandchildren – Julian Blair, Sydnee Ray, Drake Charles and Braxton Thomas. They farmed with Blair’s father Bruce, later buying out the farm. Blair continued to farm as well as run a dairy with his son Greg. In 2006 they sold out and Blair headed north for work once again, this time for Joe’s Backhoe Service until he “soft” retired. Even after retiring, he continued working by helping his son and grandson in their business – GJS Trucking. He worked up until January 30, 2023 when he officially retired due to his sudden cancer diagnosis. Blair always had true grit and carried his integrity in his value for hard work all the way to the end.

At an early age he fell in love with his mountains where he frequented until the end – hunting, fishing, horseback riding and later ventured into bike riding. However, his true passion (verging on obsession to his family) was cutting down trees and loading firewood.

Blair was a modest man and would minimize his accomplishments, but was highly independent and self-taught. He could take a book (way before the days of YouTube) and teach himself how to do just about anything, from rebuilding a tractor engine, staying up all night putting a 283 Chevy small block engine in his son’s ‘62 step-side for Outlaw Day, to building a beautiful sheep wagon and accompanying commissary wagon from the bottom up. Not to mention every honey-do list that was given to him. He will always be remembered for his sense of humor, his contagious laugh and his brilliant smile. His story telling was the best, his grandkids can testify to this for the many adventures with Bigfoot he took them on.

Papa, you fill our life with love, adventure and the magic of being. Because of you we see Bigfoot in the forest, find courage in the face of fear and can sing Johnny Horton songs. We love you! From a letter written by his grandchildren.

Our family would like to give a special thanks to Home Health and Hospice, especially Amber. Thank you for all the help and kindness you gave our Papa. Our deepest gratitude to Dr. Donald Levin for making himself so available and guiding us through this process.

Funeral services were held on Saturday, April 15, 2023 at Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel. Burial followed at the Richfield Cemetery.

Spring is that time of year when you walk outside and the wind blows your hair in a total mess right after you just fixed it...

Spring does have a little humor in the fact it says, "Look at those humans, they are funny in their actions and looks." With that said, let's not let Spring get the last laugh as we laugh with Spring. -- -- --
