May 2021 Water Supply Outlook Report
The Natural Resources Conservation Service in Idaho has released the May Water Supply Outlook Report for the 2021 water year. This spring has continued to be exceptionally dry with well below normal precipitation across Idaho. A few storms during April brought minimal snowpack (SWE) increases to the highest elevation sites, but overall, this frozen water resource is transitioning to its liquid form. Throughout Idaho, the snowpack is melting earlier and more quickly compared to the historical average. Peak snowpack occurred up to 26 days earlier than normal at some sites. “Based on dry soil conditions and lack of spring precipitation, we expect continued water supply shortages in the Big Wood, Little Wood, Big Lost, Little Lost basins.” said Erin Whorton, Hydrologist-Water Supply Specialist for NRCS Snow Survey in Idaho. “Diminished agricultural irrigation water supply is also predicted for the Snake River above Heise, Oakley, Salmon Falls, and the Owyhee basins. Dry conditions across Idaho will continue to impact ranchers who utilize non-irrigated pastures.” Streamflow, snowpack, and precipitation data for each basin can be accessed on the NRCS Idaho Snow Survey web page. For information on specific basins, streams, and reservoirs, please view the full report online at May Water Supply Outlook Report.
State Burn Permits Required May 10 - October 20
The number of burn permits issued averages about 18,000 a year in Idaho, and that number continues to rise. Burn permits are required May 10 - October 20 each year and issued by the Idaho Department of Lands (IDL). Who needs a permit: Idaho law (38-115) requires any person planning to burn outside city limits within Idaho, including crop residue burning, to obtain a state burn permit during this period, referred to as closed fire season. A burn permit must be obtained before starting debris burning activities and you must have it with you when burning. Other laws related to open burning in Idaho also apply. Permits are free and good for 10 days. Campfires do not require a burn permit. How to get a burn permit: Visit the self-service website burnpermits.idaho.gov. Permits are available seven days a week and are immediately issued and valid. No matter where you want to burn and what you plan to burn, the system will either issue you the burn permit you need on the spot or tell you which entity to contact for alternate or additional permits. A permit may also be issued by your local IDL office. Why permits are important: Obtaining the burn permit lets fire managers know where permitted burning is occurring so they can respond more quickly to a controlled it escapes, see burn pageif5..... potentially reducing the liability of the burner. You will also help prevent false runs to fires, saving firefighting resources for instances where they are truly needed.

Indoctrination in Idaho Education Press Release from Idaho Lt. Governor's office Idaho Lt. Governor Janice McGeachin's Task Force to Examine Indoctrination in Idaho Education continues to take shape. Interviews are ongoing and the full task force member roster should be available within the next two weeks. "We are assembling a comprehensive task force that provides a broad representation of the community," Lt. Gov. McGeachin said. "We have already received an outpouring of interest in the task force regarding its mission and many people have expressed a willingness to participate." Even as the task force is being assembled, the Lt. Governor is moving forward by soliciting public feedback and experiences regarding Idaho education. A new page has been added to the Lt. Governor's website for the Education Task Force that includes a link where Idahoans can provide feedback regarding their experiences and concerns. The link for this page is:
lgo.idaho.gov/education-task-force
"One of our primary goals with this task force is to give concerned citizens a voice regarding education in Idaho," said Lt. Gov. McGeachin. "If you, your child, or someone close to you has information regarding problematic teachings on social justice, critical race theory, socialism, communism, or Marxism, please provide us with as much information as you are comfortable sharing." The form allows those providing feedback to include their names and contact information, but feedback can also be submitted anonymously. "We want to make sure all Idahoans — especially those employed in education — can provide us with unbiased feedback without fear of blowback or retaliation," Lt. Gov. McGeachin said. The initial schedule for the task force includes four meetings taking place in May, June, July, and August. Meetings will be held at the Idaho State Capitol in the Lincoln Auditorium. "We intend for these meetings to be physically open to the public and livestreamed," said Lt. Gov. McGeachin. "This format worked very well for the Capitol Clarity events we held throughout the first three months of the Legislative Session, and I look forward to providing similar access to the people when our task force meets." More information regarding the task force will be made available in the coming weeks.

Cup of Tee
© Sunday, after going to Council Idaho, I decided to stop at Lakeys Restaurant on Highway 15 near Indian Valley to treat myself to some lunch. When I got there the restaurant was closed. That was kind of odd, it is usually open. Without loosing any sleep, I went down the road to the grocery store/deli. I picked up a fine sandwich and was on my way. As I neared Cambridge, I reviewed the Mundo Hot Springs sign on the road. Hummm... I thought I could have a hot spring as my treat for the day. After all, my knee was bothering any ways. Usually on the weekends you have to have reservations. Okay, let's drive up and check for an impromptu soak. I arrived and there were very few people. I was allowed to go. Generally, I have my swimming trunks in my truck and luck had it, they were there. I was enjoying the soak for quite awhile when I noticed dark clouds brewing to the west. The thought had never occurred to me about being struck by lightning in a pool until that very second. I see some of the other people getting a little concerned. Is it human mature to watch the weather while being peaceful and relaxed? I started to question my own thoughts. Myself and the others continued to watch

the brewing storm. We all must have had the same idea because we all stayed. The storm broke up a little and headed south of us at the pool. So... what are your chances of being hit by lightning in a pool? The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention say the odds are 1 in 500,000. How do they come up with that ratio? Do they know exactly how many people swim or soak? Water is a good conductor of electricity. Salt water even more so! As a general rule lightning hits objects a little higher off the ground, but water is not excluded. Typically, an indoor pool is a little safer by statistics. That is because of all the grounding rods on the outside of the building. A safe measure is to get out of a pool during a lightning storm. If you can hear thunder, lightning is about 25 miles away. When in a crowd laughing and making noise, one may not hear the thunder. When lightning hits, smaller parts of the actual strike could spread towards you. If you see lightning at night, it may be a hundred miles away. Try to have plan with a group in a pool during lightning for everyone's safety. If you are in the mountains enjoying a hot spring, you are more likely to get hit by a lightning struck tree. A “Cup of Tee” under Light...ning.

Patricia Elaine Johnson Cope (August 7, 1942 ~ April 13, 2021)
Patricia Elaine Johnson Cope passed peacefully of natural causes with her family by her side on April 13, 2021. Tricia was born on August 7, 1942, to Kenneth and Thelma Johnson in Richfield, Idaho. She grew up on a small farm near Richfield, exploring with her sisters, doing chores, and learning to love animals - especially horses - and the outdoors. She and her sisters have been a close-knit gang throughout their lives. She married her lifelong love, Cecil Cope, in the Idaho Falls Temple on December 3, 1962. They started their family in Jerome, Idaho, moved to Boise, and after a few years, moved to Idaho Falls, then a few years later moved back to Boise. As a result, Tricia had plenty of opportunities to make friends all over southern Idaho. Cecil and Tricia raised 6 boys, teaching them a love of family and the outdoors. She was very proud of her boys and their families and loved to go visit them at every opportunity. Tricia loved music. She sang, played the piano and organ, and even composed songs and poems. She was a member of several choirs throughout her life, both community-based and in the church. Tricia was a very giving person and was quick to volunteer and willing to lend a helping hand wherever needed. She loved to read and travel. She visited Europe, New Zealand, Australia, and traveled all around the US. Tricia especially loved puzzles of all sorts; word, number, jigsaw. Her jigsaw puzzle opus was a 3,000+ piece puzzle she worked on with friends and family for months, then “hodge podged” it together and framed it. Tricia had a quirky sense of humor and would give an appreciative eye roll and a groan at any good pun or silly “dad” joke. A good prank on her would get you an “Oh, you rat fink!”, a laugh, and a big kiss! Tricia had a strong faith and was dedicated to her work in the temple, often taking the unpopular 5:30am position, performing those duties nearly full time, through any kind of weather, from January 2013 through January 2019. She wrote several books detailing her family history which are kept in the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. Tricia was preceded in death by her husband Cecil; her brothers Kenneth and Jean; sisters Jeannette, Beverly, and Gladys; and her Mother and Father. She leaves her sister Doris; sons, Layne (Penny), Christopher (Stacia), Jeffrey (Genevieve), Gregory (Chrisann), Tracy (Jenel), and Thomas; grandchildren, Joshua (Emily), Daniel (Rainy), Talon, Joel, Violette, Julia, Collin, Logan, and Bailey; and great-grandson Connor. My brothers and I would like to give thanks to the staff at Overland Court that cared for and loved mom over the last couple years, especially during COVID, and a special thanks to Keystone Hospice staff that also showed caring and love for mom, comforting her and providing a dignified end to mom’s physical journey. Funeral services were Held on Saturday, April 17, 2021, at the Cherry Lane LDS Chapel in Boise. Interment followed at Morris Hill Cemetery.

Jay Cisco
News@Highway46.org
obit ua r ies
Jay Cisco, 48, of Wendell, Idaho died at his home on May 9, 2021. He had spent the night celebrating his birthday and 12th wedding anniversary. Jay was born May 8, 1973 to Toni (Thacker) and Lonnie Cisco. He was raised and educated in Wendell. He married Lisa Korb on May 9, 2009 in Featherville, Idaho. Their marriage was a perfect match, full of fun and love. Jay loved the company of his good friends and spent many nights at the Silver Spur. His Spur Nation friends were his family. He loved the Juke box and the louder the better. He was proud of his sound system in his truck and spent many evenings sitting in his pick-up with the music at full tilt. When he wasn't at the Spur he could be found socializing in his "garage bar." It may sound as though he did a lot of drinking and, rightly so, it was a hobby of his. But for those of you who had the pleasure to know him, you knew a kind soul. He had a huge heart. He freely hugged anyone who came near him and had no issue telling people he loved them. He lit up a room just by walking in. If the measure of a man was by the number of true friends, he had then Jay was a step above the rest. Jay is survived by his wife, Lisa; mother, Toni (Harold) Simerly of Wendell and father, Lonnie (Sue) Cisco of John Day, Oregon. He had two sons; Austin Blackwell and Bryce (Jesse Macias) Stromire, both of Twin Falls; one daughter, Breckannii (Tyler) Byers of Boise. Jay is also survived by his sisters, Lorie Cisco of Featherville and Paula Simerly of Twin Falls. He had one grand-daughter, Emersyn. A celebration of life will be at the New Life Community Church in Wendell, Idaho on Friday May, 14, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. A potluck will follow at the Silver Spur and all are invited. Memorial contributions can be made to the Jay Cisco Memorial Fund at Farmer's National Bank in Wendell. Funeral and cremation arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service – Wendell Chapel.

Helen Arlene Bluemer Maestas
Helen Arlene Bluemer Maestas, 90, passed away Friday, April 2, 2021 in Springerville, Arizona. She was born March 14, 1931, the third child of Clarence Raymond Bluemer and Elva Mae Johnson in the home of her mother’s parents in Marley, Idaho. Helen went to school and grew up in the Richfield, Idaho area and married Lloyd Maestas on May 16, 1948. They lived in various places around the western United States as Lloyd followed work in the construction trades. They eventually settled in Arco, Idaho where Lloyd worked as a plumber, pipefitter and draftsman at the Nuclear Engineering Laboratory in the desert 30 miles from town. They raised their family of three children there. Helen worked various retail and clerical jobs as well as serving as Girl Scout leader and 4-H Club leader. They raised Shetland ponies and horses for a time on their ranchette a mile out of town. Her daughter, Linda, and son, Lloyd (nicknamed “Bo”) were frequent competitors in horsemanship competitions during their youth. At one point Helen became friends with a local professional artist and started going out with her on painting excursions. She gave oil and water color painting a try and found she had a passion for it. She was soon traveling to various places, like Jackson Hole, Wyoming and Twin Falls, Idaho to art shows to sell her work. Still life watercolors of flowers and outdoor scenes were among her favorites. Once Lloyd retired and with their family all raised, they found travelling around the west in a motor home to their liking. They became snow birds visiting the likes of Quartzsite, Arizona and Demming, New Mexico during the winter months to do rock hounding and exploring. Summers would be spent back home in Idaho and visiting friends and relatives. They even became the proud owners of a sailboat for a time and enjoyed being sailors on Lake Pend Oreille near Coeur d’Alene, Idaho and American Falls Reservoir near Pocatello, Idaho. After being nomads for a time they decided to settle down. They sold their place in Arco and bought a home in Quartzsite, Arizona where they enjoyed the sunshine and open spaces of the desert southwest. Helen continued to live in Quartzsite after Lloyd died in 2007. She travelled to visit kids and grandkids in Idaho, Arizona and New Mexico from time to time and continued to enjoy the peace and solitude of her desert home. Vision problems gradually reduced her ability to drive and eventually made it advisable for her to dispose of her car and her home in Quartzsite and live with family. She spent a couple of summers with Bo and Rawna in Idaho Falls and otherwise with Linda and Doug in Springerville where she passed away during a short hospital stay. Helen is survived by her daughter, Linda (Douglas) Beal, Springerville; sons, Lloyd (Rawna) Maestas, Idaho Falls, Idaho; Lew (Diane) Maestas, Albuquerque, New Mexico; two widowed sisters, Betty Jones, Brigham City, Utah; and Alice Keller, Boise, Idaho; sister, Sharon (Mark) Hall, St. George, Utah; brother, Warren (Francis) Bluemer, Twin Falls, Idaho; 11 grandchildren, 29 great grandchildren, and 1 great, great grandchild. She was preceded in death by her parents and husband, a 16-year old daughter, Cynthia, and her brother, Wayne. A family memorial service will be held in Idaho at a future date.

...Signing up for Medicare continued
Visit www.shiphelp.org for more details, to see the agenda, and to register. There is no cost to attend. You can attend part or all of this event. There will be general sessions with expert presenters on Medicare eligibility, enrollment, costs, and coverage options. In the general sessions, we will offer subtitles in English and a live transcript in Spanish. You can visit state-specific virtual exhibits at any time during this event. Join us from your computer or mobile device anytime between 1:00p.m. and 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time. SHIBA is part of the national SHIP network, funded in part by the U.S. Administration for Community Living, Office of Healthcare Information and Counseling. In Idaho, SHIP goes by SHIBA. In other states, SHIP services may be provided under other names, such as CHOICES, HICAP, SHINE, or an Area Agency on Aging. Regardless of the name, the State Health Insurance Assistance Programs share a national mission: to empower, educate, and assist Medicareeligible individuals, their families, and caregivers through objective outreach, counseling, and training to make informed health insurance decisions that optimize access to care and benefits. SHIP experts will explain who is eligible for Medicare and when, how to sign up for Medicare, and what to do if you are still working when you are eligible for Medicare. They will also discuss Medicare costs, especially the importance of avoiding late enrollment penalties. You will learn how to navigate your Medicare coverage options and how Medicare works with other insurances, such as employer insurance, Medigap supplemental insurance, and retiree insurance. At any time, you can visit our Idaho SHIBA exhibit where we can help you think about what to consider when making your individual Medicare enrollment decisions or when helping a friend or loved one make their Medicare enrollment decisions. You can also watch short, pre-recorded videos on aspects of Medicare or download educational materials. The event will conclude with national presenters discussing the federal government’s role in Medicare, avoiding Medicare fraud, and the available Medicare assistance programs that help with Medicare costs. ~ Legal Notices ~ Legal Notices ~ Legal Notices ~ Legal Notices ~

This is a 2 year temporary levy. These funds would be used to improve, develop, maintain, and operate the district’s four cemeteries, as well as organize and computerize all records. ANSWER:

NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDING IDAHO DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES
Notice is hereby given that, the Director of the Idaho Department of Water Resources (“Department”) has initiated an administrative proceeding concerning water rights in Basin 37 (Wood River Basin). A drought is predicted for the 2021 irrigation season and the water supply in Silver Creek and its tributaries may be inadequate to meet the needs of surface water users. Curtailment model runs of the Wood River Valley Groundwater Flow Model v.1.1 (“Model”) show that curtailment of ground water rights during the 2021 irrigation season would result in increased surface water flows for the holders of senior surface water rights during the 2021 irrigation season. Pursuant to Idaho Code § 42-237a.g., “water in a well shall not be deemed available to fill a water right therein if withdrawal therefrom of the amount called for by such right would affect…the present or future use of any prior surface or ground water right.” Based on the information from the Model, the Director believes that the withdrawal of water from ground water wells in the Wood River Valley south of Bellevue (commonly referred to as the Bellevue Triangle) would affect the use of senior surface water rights on Silver Creek and its tributaries during the 2021 irrigation season. Therefore, the Director is initiating an administrative proceeding to determine whether water is available to fill the ground water rights, excluding water rights for domestic uses as defined in Idaho Code § 42-111 and stock watering uses as defined in Idaho Code § 42-1401A(11), within the Wood River Valley south of Bellevue. If the Director concludes that water is not available to fill the ground water rights, the Director may order the ground water rights curtailed for the 2021 irrigation season. The proceeding is Docket # AA-WRA-2021-001. Further information and a map of the above described area may be viewed online at the following link: https://idwr.idaho.gov/legal-actions/ administrative-actions/basin-37.html The Director of the Department will hold a pre-hearing conference regarding Docket # AA-WRA-2021-001 on May 24, 2021, at 9:30 a.m. In addition, a hearing is scheduled June 7-11, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. Information on how you can participate in the pre-hearing conference and hearing can be found at the above-described link. Gary Spackman, Director published in the Idaho Mountain Express & Courier News on May 5th & 12; and the Times News on May 6th & 13th, 2021
