News Kelsey’s Kids in Wendell
Kelsey Peterson has been running a childcare and pre-school in Jerome for the last three years, but recently noticed that Wendell was without those services. Taking a bold step, she moved her business to Wendell and opened Kelsey’s Kids at 134 East Main Street (just north of US Bank and next to Papa Kelsey’s Pizza). Even though it hasn’t taken long for people to notice, she still has room for a few more children. With over seven years of experience in providing this service, Kelsey is able to take infants and kids up to ten-years-old. She is also offering a summer program with different field trips scheduled for every day of the week - swimming, gymnastics, movies, the Boise zoo, fishing, and everything in between. All of that may seem like a lot, but Kelsey
believes that this is a critical age for children “Where Lifetime Learning Begins.” Call 536-4638 for more details, or goto her facebook page, KelseysKidsChildcare.
State Track & Field Championships
Only one athlete from our area came back from this year’s State Track Meet with Gold. Johnny Lancaster from Wendell took first place in the 100 & 200 Meter Runs and bettered his time from the District IV Meet. In the woman’s 100 & 200 Meter, Brianna Chance (Gooding) finished in third place, slightly off her best times in those events. Both Johnny and Brianna have one more year to compete. Camas County’s Issac Simon had hoped to finish out his senior year with a better performance, but rain hampered a number of the field events. Issac managed to take third place in the High Jump with a 5’10” jump - 6” off his first place finish at the district meet. See page 6 for a list of athletes who made the State Finals, along with their results.

Weed Awareness Week
Today is the start of Idaho Noxious and Invasive Weed Awareness Week. This week (the week prior to Memorial Day weekend) was placed into Idaho Statute through legislation passed and signed into law in 2014. Its purpose was to designate a specific period of time to educate Idaho’s citizens about the serious impacts of noxious and invasive weeds to Idaho’s economy, waters, lands and agriculture and to spur dahoans to take action against these unwanted invaders, state weed officials announced today. Noxious and invasive plants are a serious threat to Idaho’s economy causing an estimated $300 million annually in direct damages. This includes the costs to fight fires on rangelands and forests due to the proliferation of invasive plants such as Cheat grass that supplies fuel for rangefires resulting in the destruction of Sage Grouse habitat and productive grazing lands for livestock producers.

The Idaho 46 facelift through Gooding County continues with two more projects beginning in June, the Idaho Transportation Department announced. The highway will ultimately feature a smoother surface from Interstate 84 to the south end of Gooding. Following the Memorial Day holiday, the first project will begin by applying an asphalt overlay between Wendell and Gooding. Work will start at the north city limit of Wendell and continue north to the south end of Gooding where, in areas of curb and gutter, the work will first include milling off the top two inches of existing pavement and then applying the new surface. Paving is expected to finish by the end of June, with a chip-seal coat expected to finish before the end of August. After the Wendell Dairy Days Parade in mid-June, reconstruction of Idaho 46 (Idaho Street) through Wendell will begin. Work will close half of the roadway and the adjacent sidewalk while excavation and construction take place. West Main Street — a spur route of Idaho 46 — will be resurfaced near the end of construction. Work is expected to finish by mid-September. Other projects on Idaho 46 this year include the nearly completed roadway realignment and bridge reconstruction at the intersection of Bob Barton Road and Rex Leland Highway, the bridge maintenance and resurfacing of the Ken Curtis Bridge over the Snake River, and the replacement of two canal structures south of Wendell expected to begin this fall.

Memorial Day Holiday Weekend In the Sawtooth National Forest
The Sawtooth National Forest would like to encourage everyone to get out this Memorial Day weekend and enjoy your National Forest. People planning on recreating on the Sawtooth National Forest over the Memorial Day Holiday Weekend will find a number of facilities open and operating, however due to the lingering snowpack at the higher elevations a number of roads and trails will be closed. We would like to remind visitors to avoid driving or riding on muddy roads and trails to avoid damaging the running surface. Please check with your local Forest Service office for current road and trail conditions. We would like to encourage visitors to stop by any Forest Service office and pick up the new Motor Vehicle Use Map so they will know what roads and trails are open to motorized use. Many of our campsites are first come- first serve but there are also campsites that can be reserved in advance. These sites can be reserved at www.Recreation.gov or by
phone at 1-877-444-6777. Another important reminder for visitors this weekend is to be sure to put your campfire out when leaving your campsite for the day or for the weekend. There are many places on the forest at the lower elevations that are very dry, so ensure that your campfire is dead out before leaving the site. Visitors to the Sawtooth National Forest are encouraged to bring their own drinking water and be prepared to haul their trash back home. Even though many of the developed campgrounds will be open, there may be sites that do not have full service. Fairfield Ranger District Roads over Couch, Fleck and Wells Summits are open. The snowline is higher than normal but most higher elevation trails are still snow covered and impassable. The is a fee for some campgrounds such as Baumbartner and Chaparral. Currently the Deadwood Creek trail and the Deadwood Creek/Beaver Creek trail Connector are closed.

Clover Mites:
No they don’t look like this on your kitchen window. But if you see slow moving red dots this is what it might look like under high magnification. These tiny arachnids live and reproduce in our lawns and migrate into dwellings by mistake. The mild fall, winter, and spring are all conspiring against us. And Populations are starting to be seen on kitchen windows. Clover mites are about 1/64th of an inch long. They are rusty brown to dark red, soft, oval, and flattened from top to bottom. Under magnification the most distinct identification characteristic is the long front legs. Although they look like something from a B rated movie from the 50’s these mites are harmless. They cannot bite nor sting, carry diseases, infest food, or cause structural damage to wood or furnishings. They simply are in the wrong place when crawling on a window pane. They are considered a nuisance pest because they tend to wander inside in large numbers. Clover mites are sap suckers of plants only. They prefer a well fertilized lush lawn because it is easier to suck sap from. However they do not usually cause any damage to turfgrass. It is best to use a perimeter spray barrier around the outside of the house during the mite invasion period. Outdoors, spray the foundation, exterior walls up to the bottom of the first floor windows, and a strip 5 to 10 feet wide from the foundation out into the grass. Spray the foundation and walls to point of runoff and the vegetation until it is thoroughly wet, which usually requires two to four gallons per 1,000 square feet. Use a product containing permethrin, tralomethrin, cyfluthrin, tetramethrin, malathion or chlorpyrifos. Refer to the pesticide label for more complete locations where products can be used. If they have already wandered inside use a vacuum cleaner. Avoid crushing or smearing the mites, especially on fabrics, because they may leave a red stain. Whitney Cranshaw, Colorado State University entomologist, suggests putting a fine layer of dust around windows, in cracks and other areas where clover mites may enter. Try using talc-containing baby powder, diatomaceous earth and even baking soda. The mites coated with the fine dust will die in the barrier. As another barrier treatment you can use double-sided sticky tape. Clover mites are so small they will stick to anything.

When you spend a lot of time on a tractor, you soon find the quirks every tractor has. They are no different than people in those regards. There are many things I have learned from antique tractors. If a person pays attention, you can learn a volume of knowledge. For instance, did you know that antique tractors display the weather better than the TV does? If you look out the window and the tractor is wet, chances are it’s raining, or someone moved the sprinkler. If the tractor is white, it is obviously snowing. If the snow is deep, the tractor is not moving. When you are riding a tractor and your eyes are burning, you are diving into a wind/dust storm. If your ears hurt, a dust storm is sneaking up on you. When your tractor appears black in color, you’ll find it is night. When the tractor has color that is faded, the tractor may have been sunburnt from many hours in the sun. BUT, if your tractor is gray, you had better be checking the local roads because a volcano has erupted nearby. Antique tractors a proud of their heritage. They still go by the term “horsepower” as a means of power. A tractor will stand in line to pull the same implements as their ancestors the horse. When they are involved in tractor pulls they will gladly wait their turn to flex muscles. Antique tractors are a jealous bunch. They only prefer one rider. That is why they have one seat. If a bunch are parked in a row they will single out one of the tractors. Invariably, one of the tractors will have a flat tire in the line-up. They are very sneaky when they let the air out of another tractor’s tires because you never know which tractor or tractors did the act. On the other hand, if antique tractors in a line-up think they are going to be push aside by a pickup or car, all the batteries will go dead at the same time. Conservative is an antique tractor’s second name. They will wear the same shoes (tires) until they are literally warn so bad you can’t recycle them. The same coat (of paint) doesn’t stop the tractors from being hams at parades. They love to make the general public talk and excite the kids. Even old paint jobs steal the show if mixed with classic show cars. Given the chance, antique tractors love to dress up. They love new coats (paint) and even chrome exhaust stacks. If they only receive a new radiator cap, they display the caps like a new tie. The tractors can tell more stories about people than story books. Sometimes they even make people think. They don’t have distracting radios or cigarette lighter to charge cell phones. Speaking of thinking, I had better check to see where my tractor is... Tee This is my AGED “Cup of Tee.”

the Courier News ~ 888-934-1862 ...Weed Awareness Week continued ...but never Compromising the Truth.
the fact that landowners and land management entities spend about $25 million every year to directly control and manage noxious weeds, Idaho loses thousands of acres annually to the 66 varieties of noxious weeds that have been identified across the state. “We want to encourage all Idaho citizens to take an active role in the battle to control and manage noxious and invasive weeds in our state and to ask for their help not just during Idaho’s Noxious and Invasive Weed Awareness Week but throughout the entire weed season,” said Roger Batt, spokesperson for the Idaho Weed Awareness Campaign. There are a variety of tools Idahoans can use to do their part in trying to halt the on-going spread of noxious and invasive weeds in the state. Some of these include: • Learning to identify noxious and invasive weeds that may show up on private property or a favorite camping, hiking, fishing or hunting area so that potential invaders can be identified and reported to land and wildlife managers, County Weed Superintendents or the Idaho State Department of Agriculture. • Becoming aware of Idaho’s noxious weed law, which requires all land owners to control and manage noxious weeds on their lands. Many people mistakenly believe that it is the County’s responsibility to control noxious weeds. However, Idaho’s noxious weed law actually requires that noxious weeds are to be controlled both on public and private land by the individual, company or agency that owns the land. • Avoiding travel through weed-infested areas with ATV’s and other off-road vehicles. This will help prevent the spread of noxious weeds and weed seed into new areas. • Don’t pick and transport pretty flowers you cannot identify – you may be inadvertantly spreading the seeds of an attractive noxious weed. • Checking boats, trailers and watercraft carefully after they are pulled from the water for signs of aquatic plants such as Eurasian watermilfoil. Pumping your bilge also helps prevent spreading aquatic noxious weeds into other water bodies. “Idahoans can also acquire a free copy of Idaho’s Noxious Weed book. This useful tool identifies Idaho’s 66 listed noxious weeds,” Batt added. “It can be a lifesaver when it comes to telling the difference between noxious weeds and Idaho’s native vegetation. The book is 115 pages of color photos and in-depth information to help Idahoans identify Idaho’s 66 listed species of noxious weeds.” You can get a free copy of the book by going to the Idaho Weed Awareness Campaign’s website at www.idahoweedawareness.com or by calling the Idaho Weed Awareness hotline at 1-844-WEEDSNO.
