News Body Art comes to Wendell
They can be simple and cute, complex and sleazy, or beautiful and mesmerizing. They are tattoos. The Skin Factory recently opened up in Wendell, Idaho, at 46 North Idaho offering everything you might desire in body augmentation. The owner, James Moore, has been putting ink on living canvas for ten years in Texas, but family brought him to Idaho where he decided to open his own shop to continue his artwork. To give customers plenty of choices in styles, James convinced 29 year veteran tattoo artist, Tommy Sturgis, to come join him. Tommy’s tattoos have been in Tattoo magazines all over the world. He is also the personal artist for INEGMA, as well as a celebrated realism artist. Tattoos use to be relegated to bikers and military men. Today, you see them on celebrities and politicians. What was once found only in sleazy back alleys, is now upscale and found in shopping malls next to high-end department stores.

The other thing that has changed about the tattoo business is the attention to safety. Most places, including the Skin Factory, have gone to single use (disposable) needles to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. The ink they use is safer too, as well as being more stable - the colors are more vibrant and long lasting. Tattoos are not for everyone, and if you are drunk or otherwise influenced, don’t bother coming in. If you’re under 18, you’ll need a permission slip and a parent with you to get one. If you’d like a piece of artwork that will last a lifetime, give the Skin Factory a call at 536-9963 or stop by. They’re open 12 to 8 everyday except Wednesday.

May 16: Composting at home. University of Idaho Educator Mario E. de Haro-Marti will talk about how to comEarlier this winter, a fellow was hunting post, different methods, and benefits of composting for geese across the road from my house. A few your home and community. days prior it had rained hard. What little frost we had Workshop will be held Saturday from 10 to 12. For left the ground and the fellow’s pickup was spinning in four- RSVP and more info: call the Gooding Extension Office: wheel-drive. He wasn’t going anywhere. I figured he may 208-934-4417 or the Gooding Public Library: 208-934need some help. 4089.
I went outside and took the battery out of my car and proceeded to put it in my JD60 two cylinder tractor. The tractor had a dead battery and had not been started all winter. With a little choking the 60-year-old tractor was running. I backed down into the field and offered some help. The guy didn’t think my tractor would pull him out. I hooked onto the truck and pulled it out with ease. Once out the guy tried to give me $20. I told him I had been stuck many time before... Keep the money. The neighbor told him I was selling potatoes. He came back and wanted to buy some potatoes. I told him I was indeed selling potatoes - $9.00 for a 50 pound bag. He took two after he assured me that he was not trying to pay me for pulling him out of the mud. The next week the same guy and the same pickup were stuck again, but this time they were almost to the road. Once more I put a battery in the old John Deere and proceeded to offer him a pull. He refused this time. He told me he couldn’t have me pull him twice in two weeks due to his errors (some people from areas other than mine may not know the different soil conditions). I told him I was an antique tractor puller and we love to pull with our tractors anytime we can. To me it was like a tractor pull, only before the season. I again pulled him out. The season for the Treasure Valley Antique Power Association has started with our first pull on Saturday the 25th. This pull, at the Ten Mile Christian Church grounds in Meridian, was kind of a “test and tune” pull. Everyone has gotten their tractors out from the winter’s rest and is trying to ready them for the pulling season. It seems like the very first pull of the year has a lot of bugs to iron out. Batteries and gasoline lead the way on a priority list. Tires are right behind them. My tractor didn’t get to skip the prepared blues. I had to change a front flat tire on my single front end. I had my new tire put on an old rim and inflated to slide right on my tractor. The width of the tire, pumped up, was too wide to go on my front end (forks). I had to deflate the tire in order to get it on. Then I had to pump it up to be driving ready. It sure beats the whole purpose of fixing it at the store to be ready to use. Our pulling sled had a few issues with a broken line we use to pump water on the sled. It was a tricky process to fix it on the track and use it too. Oh well, I think everyone had their issues on their tractors, but didn’t tell me. Tee This is my “Cup of Tee” pulling for a good season. Hurd

Serving with all Gentleness & Compassion... The Courier News ~ 888-934-1862 Conserving Sage Grouse College of Southern Idaho
NEWS RELEASE
The State Board of Land Commissioners (Land Board) and Idaho Oil and Gas Conservation Commission approved a plan this week outlining additional measures to conserve sage grouse in Idaho, bolstering Idaho’s efforts to avoid a listing of the species under the Endangered Species Act. The Land Board’s plan complements and augments the Governor’s statewide plan to conserve the most important habitat for sage grouse in Idaho. A federal listing of the bird could inhibit revenue-generating activities on more than 600,000 acres of endowment rangelands, lands granted to Idaho at statehood to make money for public schools and other State institutions. It also could constrain development activities that the State regulates on privately owned land. The Land Board’s Greater Sage-Grouse Conservation Plan includes enforceable stipulations in leases, permits, and easements on endowment lands. It also spells out recommended best management practices for activities pertaining to the State’s role in supporting fire prevention, suppression, and rehabilitation, and regulating oil and gas development, some mining activities, and abandoned mine reclamation. Conservation measures recommended for federal lands were not included in the Land Board’s plan because they would impose unreasonable constraints on the State’s ability and obligation to ensure endowment lands maintain their constitutionally derived purpose of generating maximum long-term financial returns to public schools and other State institutions. Given the constitutional mandate for management of endowment lands and the small percentage of endowment lands located in core and important habitat zones, it is unnecessary and problematic that the State of Idaho manages its lands in the same way as federal land managers. Implementation of the Land Board’s plan is contingent upon the federal government’s acceptance and incorporation of the Governor’s plan in its final decisions on sage grouse in Idaho. The plan focused on three primary threats to sage grouse for Idaho - wildfire, infrastructure, and invasive species. Since February, the Idaho Department of Lands (IDL) has been collecting comments on a draft sage grouse plan. Input came from natural resource industry user groups, environmental organizations, and relevant State and federal agencies to fine-tune the plan. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is expected to release its final environmental impact statement for sage-grouse habitat on BLM lands in Idaho and southwest Montana in May or June. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is expected to make its decision on whether to list the bird as threatened or endangered under federal law by October this year. In the coming months IDL will work on additional plans that prepare the State to implement and monitor the conservation measures, to ensure certain activities on State and private lands conform to the approved plan.

Chocolate
If you’re an average American, you consume 12 pounds of it each year. It’s been traded as currency, enjoyed as a delicacy, regarded as an aphrodisiac, and even treated as medicine.

Dr. Lauren Fins, professor of Forestry at the University of Idaho, spent seven months in Costa Rica on a Fulbright Scholarship that allowed her to develop a graduate level course on chocolate.

Relay For Life participants and donors REMEMBER loved ones lost to cancer and honor those battling the disease by dedicating a luminaria. Luminaria, are paper bags containing votive candles that are illuminated after dark at every local Relay For Life event. Each luminaria is personalized with a name, photo, message or drawing in memory or honor of a friend or loved one who has been affected by cancer. Each luminaria candle represents a person. They are our mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, friends, coworkers, and so many others. Teams need to start watching the canned food sales and stock up to bring food to the Relay. As in years past, each luminaria will have a canned food item and all the food will be donated to Helping Hearts and Hands for their food bank after the Relay event. Here are some of the events happening throughout our area in May: May 4th – Relay Team Meeting at 5:30 pm at Gooding Fairgrounds – Ag Extension office May 16th – Huge Yard Sale at Columbia Bank, 746 Main St, Gooding (for ALL teams) May 30th – Huge Wendell Yard Sale at U.S. Bank in Wendell (for ALL teams) If you would like to sign up to be on a Relay Team or to make a donation go to www/relayforlife.org/goodingid or contact Susan Bolton at 934-4427 or e-mail to sbolton@gofirstam.com. We have room for a few more teams. Our goal is 30 teams with 10-12 people per team. Corporate sponsors are encouraged to contact Susan to become a part of this community event. For a $250 donation your name or business will be listed on the Relay T-shirts everyone will be wearing at Relay time. For $500 a small logo of your company name will appear on the T-shirts. The sponsor deadline is the first of May along with joining a team.

Bluegill / Bass Fishing Day For Youth
The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is hosting a youth bass and bluegill fishing clinic at Carey Lake on May 2, from 10 am to 3 pm. The event will be held about 1.5 miles northeast of Carey, at the Carey Lake Sportsman’s Access. “All you need to do is show up and we will take care of the rest,” said Clark Shackelford, organizer and Senior Conservation Officer for the Idaho Fish and Game. “We have teamed up with local sponsors to put on a fishing event that is aimed at introducing little anglers to the joy and excitement of bluegill and bass fishing.” Fish and Game will have fishing supplies on hand for anglers that need it, along with several guides in boats and on the shore to help educate anglers about the fish and how to catch them. Demonstrations on fishing techniques, recommended gear and how to clean and cook your fish will be part of the day’s events. For more information, call the Magic Valley Fish and Game Office at 208-324-4359.
