Southern Idaho Livestock Hall of Fame May Begins Firewood Season
On April 9th, five families were inducted into the Southern Idaho Livestock Hall of Fame during the organization’s 60th annual banquet in Twin Falls. Along with the Harrisons of Heyburn, the Hooglands of Buhl, and the Naerebouts of Twin Falls, two families from our area were inducted as well - Lou & Teresa Andersen of Fairfield, and Ed & Clarissa Brown of Gooding. As soon as he was old enough to be away from his mom, Lou Andersen’s grandmother took him to the famaily ranch near Malad. His parents tried to keep him at home, but those efforts only last a couple of weeks before he escaped for the summer. After getting a degree in education from Utah State University, Lou taught and coached at American Falls for a couple of years before taking a teaching job in Fairfield. Still, it was hard to get ranching out of his blood. He leased a ranch in Camas County and started doing custom work around the area. Eventually, he leased more ground and pastured cattle for ranchers, including future his father-in-law, Ray Easterday. Lou, and his wife Teresa, have been doing everything together ever since. About ten years ago, Lou partnered with Shannon Wolf to formed S&L Commodities to supply organic hay and feedstuffs to dairies in the western U.S. and China. Lou became the sole owner of S&L after Mr. Wolf’s death in a snowmobile accident in 2010. At the age of 2 or 3, Ed Brown was already riding work horses on the family ranch south of Kimberly. In fact, they did everything with horses - his dad never owned a tractor. A little later as part of 4-H, Ed showed the first Grand Champion horse at the Twin Falls County Fair. While at the University of Idaho pursuing a degree in animal husbandry, Ed met his wife to be - Clarissa. They married in 1964, and Ed went to work as an agricultural loan oficer in Washington state. He also helped his father-in-law build a roping school with a cafe that overlooked the ring. Ed and Clarissa went on to manage J.R. Simplot’s Highland Stables in Boise, then moved back to the Magic Valley to train horses for Howard Conrad in Murtaugh. All this time, Ed was earning performance points (roping, cutting, and pleasure & reining) as well as managing a 700 cow/calf operation. In 1979, Ed and Clarissa put together enough money to buy a ranch northeast of Gooding. Along with the struggles of keeping their ranch going, Ed judged horse shows and presented horsemanship and colt-starting clinics. Not surprising, he and Clarissa were directors for the Gooding High School Rodeo Club. Yet, if you ask them, their biggest success/adventure began five years ago when they started up Cowboy Church at the Gooding County Fairgrounds. Regarding his faith, Ed said, “The life you have lived on the way to the end of the journey is what is valuable.”
Personal use fuelwood permits for the Boise, Payette, and Sawtooth National Forests will be available beginning May 15th.
Firewood permits can be purchased at USDA Forest Service Ranger District offices, and private vendors. Please recall that they are no longer selling permits of only 2 cords. If you want all 10 cords, permits must be purchased in combinations of 5 cords and 5 cords, or 4 cords and 6 cords, or all 10 cords at once. Fuelwood permits were reduced in 2018 from $12.50 to $6.25 per cord with a 4-cord minimum and a 10-cord maximum per household. Two reasons drove the changes: 1) aligning the overall price of the fuelwood with other Idaho forests; 2) helping remove forest fuels since woodcutting is limited to dead trees. (PLEASE NOTE: some trees may look dead due to various reasons. If trees have any green needles, please do not cut.) Cutting fuelwood within a closure area is prohibited. Check on the Alerts & Notices pages of Forest websites for closure information. Check this year’s fuelwood brochure, fuelwood map, and the current Motor Vehicle Use Maps to make sure you are cutting in an area open to fuelwood gathering, and pay special attention to closed areas and roads with restoration activities. Regulations prohibit the cutting of dead or living Whitebark pine trees due to that species decline, and they are critically important to several wildlife species. All motorized travel related to fuelwood gathering must be in full accordance with Forest Service travel regulations. Permit holders are encouraged to cut fuelwood early in the year because fire restrictions may impact the cutting season later in the summer. Early season fuelwood cutters are asked to use caution to avoid wet muddy roads, where travel may cause resource damage. Fuelwood cutting is not allowed within riparian areas (adjacent to creeks and rivers). Regulations are available when permits are issued. For additional information, contact the local Ranger District offices, or Forest websites. Check with forest vendors for weekend hours.

Stan Bartlett, 80, a resident of Hagerman, passed away on Friday, April 19, 2019 at his home in Hagerman. Stanley Charles Bartlett was born on March 7, 1939 at home in Wendell, Idaho to Emmett Bartlett and Olive Englehaupt. He went to school in Wendell and Hagerman. At the age of 11 he started helping in the dairy for George and Irene Lemmon. He was taken under their wing and made part of the family.

In 1955 he married Beverly Lyons and they had three children: Rocky, Kelly and Letha. They separated in 1961. Stan then went to Logan, Utah and worked for C.J. Woods.

In 1980 he was injured in an automobile accident and retired from law enforcement. He then partnered in surplus and salvage, doing his favorite things – buying, selling and trading. In 2005 after a cancer diagnosis, he and Eileen retired back to Hagerman, Idaho. In Hagerman, he joined the coffee group, showed a car at the car shows, helped around the neighborhood and anywhere needed.

Prepare Firewood Now To Save Money, Burn Cleaner
Press Release Idaho DEQ
Now is the time to collect and properly store firewood so it is dry enough to burn efficiently during the colder months. Burning clean, dry, seasoned firewood to heat your home saves money, ignites easily, and lessens the impact on local air quality. When people have trouble with wood-burning systems, the problem is most often that the wood is not dry enough. Wet firewood is hard to ignite, slow to burn, and hisses and sizzles in the firebox. It also creates excessive smoke, which can lead to health and air quality issues. Whether you get your firewood on your property, on public lands, or from an independent firewood seller or retailer, it needs to be seasoned and tested. Seasoned wood has been split and air dried for at least six months (longer for hardwoods). It tends to be dark in color, cracked on the ends, and lightweight, and its bark is easily broken or peeled. The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality offers these tips to make your fire burn hotter and keep local air cleaner: • Wait at least 6 months and up to 12 months for dry firewood depending on type of wood. • Hardwoods like oak and maple dry more slowly than soft woods like pine and spruce. To test, bang two pieces together; dry wood sounds hollow, wet wood sounds dull. • Cut wood to the right length. The wood should fit easily in your woodstove or fireplace. Make sure it is about three inches shorter than the firebox width or length. • Split wood before stacking. Split the wood to the right width, no more than six inches in diameter. Splitting the wood before stacking increases exposure to air, which improves the drying process. • Stack wood in alternate directions. This improves circulation and further reduces moisture. • Store firewood off the ground. Build a woodshed to keep firewood six inches or more off the ground to protect the wood pile from moisture. • Cover the top of the wood pile, but leave the sides exposed. A structure with a roof is ideal, but you can also use a tarp. Remove the tarp to speed up drying in the warm summer months. If you plan to gather firewood on state or federal land, a firewood permit is required from the Idaho Department of Lands or U.S. Forest Service. Be sure to inquire about road conditions and recommended access routes as road closures may be in place to protect roads and water quality. Also, be aware of active timber sales and never remove wood from slash piles. For additional information about firewood preparation, visit woodheat.org.
