NEWS 55 Years of Helping Others
Like many things in our world, medical services have changed dramatically. Except for a few rare circumstances, the days of doctors making house calls are gone. So too are the Candy Stripers at hospitals. Mostly young women, candy stripers were hospital volunteers who work without regular pay in a variety of health care settings under the supervision of nurses. Many of them were members of Future Nurses of America (a high school organization similar to FFA) and volunteering at a local hospital gave them the opportunity to see if nursing was what they really wanted to do. In 1965, a young Gooding woman joined the ranks of candy stripers at the old Gooding Hospital that once stood where Ridley's food market is today. Connie Jacobson wore the red and white striped uniform until 1972 when she went off to CSI to get her LPN, Licensed Practical Nurse. Connie worked at the Gooding Memorial Hospital at the end of 12th Avenue East until 2010 when the North Canyon Medical Center opened its doors. The biggest challenge of moving to the new facility was the change over from hand-written records to computerized records. The other big challenge was figuring out how to turn off the lights during their first night at NCMC. However, none of that damped Connie's enjoyment of watching people go home after helping them recover from whatever illness or injury brought them to the hospital. A week from today, Connie Jacobson will hang up her uniform and set out on a new adventure of retirement. But before she goes, friends and family are invited to the Gooding Senior Center (308 Senior Avenue) on June 5th to celebrate her life-time of service.

Camas P&Z to Review Comprehensive Plan
At their June 1st meeting, the Camas County Planning and Zoning Commission will begin a review of the county's Comprehensive Plan (Comp Plan). Idaho State Statute requires cities and counties to review their comp plans at least once every ten years and make appropriate changes if necessary. While comp plans are not law, they are required documents that provide information about a particular community and long range plans regarding about a dozen different topics including: school facilities, transportation, economic development, etc. This document also addresses potential land use. The Comp Plan Map is sometimes called a future land use map (FLUM) but regardless of the label, this map deliniates various areas within a county or city where certain types of development might take place in the future. The purpose of the comp plan is to show that your local government has "planned" for growth within the community, and has considered various ideas to deal with that growth in a way that is compatable with the needs and desires of the community. To that end, the Camas P&Z Commission is looking for information from you, both to provide an accret picture of where the county is right now, and what you see for the future. In general, county P&Z meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month at the Courthouse Annex (517 Soldier Road) at 7:00 p.m. These meetings are open to the public, but comments from the public may be limited. Check the monthly P&Z agenda to see what section of the plan is being reviewed.
Recreational Shooters: Know Your Target to Protect Nongame Birds
by Brian Pearson, Conservation Public Information Specialist Spring is a popular season for recreational shooters in southwest Idaho, but it’s also a critical time of year for a number of nongame bird species that nest in, or are commonly found in, popular shooting areas. While the majority of hunters and recreational shooters follow the law, Fish and Game officials remind shooters they are likely to encounter protected nongame birds, and to be sure of their target while
out in the field. “The illegal shooting of protected nongame wildlife such as owls, hawks, eagles, and other birds such as long-billed curlews is a persistent and prevalent problem in Idaho,” said Deniz Aygen, Fish and Game’s Watchable Wildlife Biologist. “Long-billed curlews and many species of raptors are identified by Fish and Game as see species of 5..... greatest conservation page need, and sadly, substantial poaching occurs in areas that were established to aid in their conservation, but
are also heavily used by recreational shooters.” Nearly all the nongame bird species found in Idaho are classified as protected. However, European starlings, Eurasian-collared doves, house sparrows, and rock pigeons are nonnative and can be taken outside city limits year-round with a hunting license. Recently published research shows that poaching protected nongame species — specifically raptors and long-billed curlews — is more common in areas with high use by recreational continued on page 2...

Get Outdoors and Enjoy... Part Two
With Memorial Day weekend coming soon, recreationists will be preparing for a long stay in Idaho's beautiful outdoors. But you don't have to go camping or pull the boat out of storage to enjoy Idaho scenery. The Centennial Marsh just 12 miles west of Fairfield is home to one of nature's most beautiful flowers - the Camas Lily. With the dry spring, it is uncertain just how many will bloom but they have started and the next couple of weeks will see the marsh turn blue. Of course, the flowers are not the only reason to take a drive to the Centennial Marsh. Bird watchers will find a cornucopia of different water birds and raptors.

shooters and happens more frequently than previously known. The study (which you can read here) was conducted at the Morley Nelson Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area and the Long-billed Curlew Habitat Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC). It implied that a small segment of recreational shooters appear to be poaching protected nongame species while they are target shooting or hunting unprotected nongame species like ground squirrels. The study also suggested that illegal shooting may have a role in the long-term declines observed for the local population of long-billed curlews in the ACEC, which had dwindled from more than 2,000 in the late 1970s, to fewer than 200 in 2014, and is now well under 100 curlews. People can help preserve Idaho’s hunting and fishing heritage by reporting poaching. Make the call if something doesn’t seem right. Contact Citizens Against Poaching at 1-800-632-5999.

Cup of Tee
As I unload a box of books that have been in storage because I moved, I said to myself, "Why do you have these books?" There were lots of answers that came to mind. Immediate knowledge, history, pleasure, relaxation, longevity and value were a few of the answers that popped into my head. Graduates, as you enter the world and say, "What do I need for the future?" a library is an overlooked thought. Things on the internet are always changing. Books stay the same (even after a hundred years). If something goes wrong in the electrical grid, books are always there. Stress wears many costumes, books help reduce it. When you can't physically go somewhere, books can give you a ride to another time and space. The value of books generally go up in value unlike so many other things in life. A library doesn't give you collateral at the bank because the price of knowledge doesn't have a dollar value. What do we go to school for if not for knowledge. When planning your library, you should think about things you will be investing in the future. Try to get things you buy on the longest term possible and then pay more when you can. Things happen! Don't overload yourself financially just to HAVE.
by Tee Hurd
Don't try to keep up with the neighbors. Common sense can bring you the needed goods and make you more money. Be an active part of the schooling system. It will be you that is buying the education system forward as others did before you. Schools get old but knowledge doesn't. One way or another you will be given the responsibility of the education system. Buy local as much as possible. It is the local tax dollars and the people around you who have gotten you where you are today. Someone in a foreign country didn't get you all the services you enjoy today. You don't have to be married to everything that happens around you, but do voice your opinion. That is why you have elected officials - for your vote. In my opinion, too many people are herded into a political party. Sooner or later, their party has the only right answer. There are good and bad ideas on all sides, and yet there is no compromise. You'll find that life is full of compromises! Graduates, regardless of which road you choose to make, be sure health is at the top of your list. Without it nothing else matters. Think about your future on a daily basis concerning health issues. All of us before you can truly testify to health. This is my “Cup of Tee” graduating forward.

obit ua r ies
Marian Blake Rowe, 81, of Gooding, ID, passed away on May 8, 2021, at her home, after a day surrounded by loved ones, with her loving daughter by her side. Marian Anita Blake was born on August 3, 1939 to John Luther and Minniella (Parker) Blake in Alhambra, CA. Her brother John Luther Blake II arrived in 1942. Their little family moved back to Louisiana around 1945 and started a sawmill with their Louisiana family. But economics (and probably humidity and mosquitoes) probably played a role in their return to California a couple of years later. In 1952, the family grew with the arrival of a new baby girl, Virginia Blake. As Marian tells it, she wanted to name her little baby sister after her favorite movie star at the time, Shirley Temple, so Virginia then became "Shirley" and that was that. While growing up in southern California, Marian began her lifelong love of raising animals. She was very involved with 4-H, bringing home purple ribbons for her prize sheep. She owned her first horse while a young girl as well. Her father built a number of corrals, fences, and sheds for her projects. Except for a year or so of elementary school in Bogalusa, Louisiana, Marian attended schools in California, graduating from Arcadia High School (1957) and then received her Bachelors in Zoology from the University of California Davis (1961). Her love of education and learning continued throughout her life. She also studied for her Masters in Spanish through UCD and later for her Masters in Wildlife Biology through the University of Idaho. She was also a student at the College of Southern Idaho, College of Idaho, Boise State University, and Idaho State University. Marian was always looking for opportunities for furthering her education, whether she was building her skills as a teacher or researcher, or starting a new adventure of becoming a realtor, or enhancing her own personal interests in training horses. When she discovered the Study Abroad program at BSU, she was able to incorporate her love of learning with her love of travel by learning Italian in Italy (1997), Chinese in China (1999), and Arabic in Malta (2000). Marian began her lifelong travels in 1962 when she traveled to Venezuela through the Peace Corp as a Community Developer. That was her first Peace Corps experience. Marian signed up again in 1992, when she went to Morocco, to specialize in Large Animal Husbandry, working with rural dairies to help increase their survival rate of their calves (among other things). But she wasn't done yet: She surprised us all by joining the Peace Corps for the third time in 2009, to teach English to children and adults living in isolated rural villages in Paraguay. When Marian wasn't traveling the world, she often found herself in the classroom. Her first years of teaching were in Esparto, CA where she taught high school Spanish. Over the years, she taught Spanish, English, or science classes to high school students in Hansen, Wendell, Filer, Shoshone, and Gooding. She also thoroughly enjoyed teaching ESL (English as a Second Language) to immigrants and refugees through the Vista Volunteer program in the early 90s. One year she even taught at Drake Bay, a resort in Costa Rica. (Her one and only student was the daughter of the American who managed the resort.) Marian was always looking for opportunities to combine her skills and passions and she often found them! Marian also loved the outdoors and the wilderness and the wide-open range whether she was tramping through the forest gathering bear scat for research or helping her friend Wilda bring in cattle. She enjoyed her horses, breeding and training and riding them throughout the years. In 1961, while a student at UCD, Marian was waiting tables at Baxter's Café on Donner's Summit, when she caught the eye of a shy young trucker. No words were exchanged at the time, but he recognized her immediately a few years later, when he met her officially at his brother's boarding house, where she was renting a room after she had returned

to UCD upon her return from Venezuela. James Albert Rowe and Marian Anita Blake were married on August 1, 1964 in Rio Linda, California, and started their lives together in Dixon, California. In 1967, their daughter, Diana Ruth Rowe, was born. Alan Blake Rowe was born in 1968, making their little family complete. By 1970, they moved to Twin Falls, ID where James began hauling cattle for Wagner Transportation and Marian began working toward her dream of a little ranch of their own. They flipped their little house in Twin Falls and bought a few acres in Hansen, ID where Marian got to work with repairing and remodeling. A few years after that, they flipped it again and found Marian's ideal little 40 acres in Gooding, ID near Dog Creek Reservoir. They brought their small herd of cattle and horses to Gooding and Marian began building her little dream ranch. Even though life took unexpected turns in the future, "the ranch at Dog Creek" always remained as the time where she felt her dreams had been fulfilled. While the first half of her life had been filled with education, teaching, and raising her family, Marian focused her second half of her life with more traveling. Due to her arthritis, she was unable to enjoy the cold winters in Idaho so she would save her frequent flyer miles to spend the winter months in warmer regions. She was quite happy to live in a simple little cottage (as long as it was clean) near the water so she could swim. Her ability to live life simply and frugally allowed her many opportunities that others could only dream of. She mostly wintered in Costa Rica but would switch things up occasionally with Honduras or other Spanish-speaking countries. All in all, her travels have taken her to Morocco, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Italy, France, Switzerland, Costa Rica, Panama, Guatemala, Mexico, Belize, Columbia, China, Mongolia, Tunisia, Malta, England, Kenya, Tanzania, Seychelles, Ecuador, Oman, Paraguay, and New Caledonia—and possibly other countries here and there! (We shouldn't discuss her clandestine sneak trip to Cuba back in the day when Americans would be arrested if caught!) Marian would combine her love of travel with her deep love for her grandchildren by sharing travels with them. She tried to take all of them on their own unique excursion but sadly and to her dismay, her health in her later years prevented the younger children from having the same opportunities as the older ones. She felt it was so important that the children were all exposed to and developed an appreciation for traveling and different cultures... and that truly is a life-long gift from "Grandma Camel". Marian also was passionate about her Southern roots. Even though she physically only resided in Louisiana for a few years as a child, she felt a deep and powerful connection to the area and her family. She wanted her grandchildren to feel it as well and worked hard at sharing the history of the family with them. In 2019, Marian brought all of the grandchildren to Louisiana to walk through the family timberland, swim in the same creek as their grandmother did as a child, and hear the stories while actually being in the home of family who had passed long ago. The additional bonus of that gift was the bonding and love that grew even stronger among her six grandchildren, which can be considered Marian's greatest achievement and legacy. Marian was preceded in death by her cherished son, Major Alan Blake Rowe, who was killed in Iraq in 2004. Marian is survived by her former husband but forever friend, James A. Rowe of Twin Falls, and their daughter Diana Rowe of Gooding; her precious granddaughters (Destiny Pauls and Caitlin Rowe), beloved grandsons (Zachary Pauls, Levi Pauls, Nathan Pauls, and Blake Rowe), her brother John (Ginny) Blake, and sister Shirley (John) Sell. Graveside service held at Mountain View Cemetery in Fairfield on Thursday, May 13, 2021. Arrangements under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the "Major Alan Rowe Scholarship", c/o Foundation College of Southern Idaho, PO Box 1238, Twin Falls, ID 83303-1238.
