A Day to Remember

Originally known as Decoration Day, Memorial Day is a holiday set aside to honor and mourn U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the armed forces.

The first national observance of Memorial Day occurred on May 30, 1868. Decoration Day was observed on May 30th, as proclaimed by Commander in Chief John A. Logan of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) to honor the Union soldiers who had died in the American Civil War. Official recognition of the holiday spread among the states, beginning with New York in 1873, and by 1890, every Union state had adopted it. After World War 1 & 2, it turned it into a day of remembrance for all members of the U.S. military who fought and died in service.

While Memorial Day is a day to remember those who died while serving our nation, there is rare and special type of veteran we need to remember. Over the last several years, Ken Jacobsen of Lehi, Utah, has been traveling around to the cemeteries of the Northwest looking for the grave stones and markers of Civil War Veterans. Because the Civil War took place before most major settlements in Idaho, there are very few of these graves. And... these markers are often in need of attention and repair. Sometimes these grave stones are unreadable.

As part of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, Ken Jacobsen and others are putting up special markers to identify members of the G.A.R. In process, he is helping our communities to remember the incredible sacrifices that were made by young men and women over the last 160 years ( this list may not be complete and does not include Confederate veterans that might be in our cemeteries).

Catch a tagged fish?

Report it and help shape Fisheries Management in Idaho

Whether you are fishing at an urban pond, a wild river, or an alpine lake, that next fish you catch might have an orange tag, and Idaho Fish and Game needs your help reporting it.

Fisheries biologists attach orange-colored “t-bar anchor tags” to various fish species throughout the state to learn more about them. When anglers report tagged fish, biologists can learn how many fish in a specific area or population are caught by anglers.

“We’ve had some fish get caught the same day after we tagged them, while some fish might not get caught and reported until years later,” said Kevin Meyer, a fisheries research biologist for Idaho Fish and Game.

Tags can also describe fish migrations, and are used to compare survival and catch of different types of hatchery-raised fish after they are stocked. Each reported tag provides valuable information about angler catch, survival and abundance of certain species, which helps biologists manage fish populations for better fishing

“Tags are a crucial component of our research and management, aimed at making fishing better for Idaho’s anglers,” said Meyer.

How to report a tagged fish:

Each tag is labeled with a unique number that identifies the fish and how to report it online. If the tag is not a reward tag, you can decide whether to remove it from the fish or leave it and release the fish for the next angler to report another catch. If you plan to leave the tag, record the tag number or take a clear picture on your phone.

...Catch a Taged Fish? continued

If you choose to clip the tag, use scissors or clippers to avoid yanking it out of the fish.

Report online: tag.idaho.gov or Call: 1-866-258-0338

How to redeem a reward tag

Some fish have reward tags and carry a reward value of $25, $50, $100, or $200. Anglers will see REWARD printed on the tag and a dollar amount.

Reward tags must be removed from the fish by clipping the tag with scissors or clippers and sent to our research office in Nampa. Please avoid yanking tags out of the fish. Mail the tag to the following address: Fish Tag Returns 1414 E Locust Lane Nampa, ID 83686

About Idaho Fish and Game’s Tag, You’re It Program

Idaho Fish and Game’s Tag, You’re It Program was created in the mid-2000s using tags to estimate angler catch and harvest rates for fish species statewide. Research staff used varying levels of cash reward tags to figure out the reporting rate for non-reward tags. That was the missing piece of information that was necessary to use angler tag reports at a larger scale.

The program also won an American Fisheries Society National Sportfish Restoration award in 2012 and has been a mainstay in Idaho fisheries management ever since.

Cup of Tee by Tee Hurd

Graduating Seniors... you have now reached a space of time when you say to yourself, "WOW, I'm here presently, and what am I going to do?"

Many of you haven't given the idea much thought, whereas some of you have been preparing for this moment. Then, the idea of camping has been brought forth... What?

To create the camp idea, you usually start with a plan. At this time it's recommended that you indicate where you might be going. That could be a place of higher education. Do those places know that you personally want your reservation filled?

Some of you may want to camp by yourself. In order to be the best solo camper, you need to invest into yourself. Know yourself. Make yourself the most valuable. In life a person spends a lot of time within their own skin.

Others may want to camp together. Maybe marriage is your plan. Together you have to work as a team. Many times there will be difference of opinion. Communication will generally solve most issues. It takes a lot of seasonings to make the perfect skillet.

You initial plan is basically your goals. Set your goals. Once goals have been met, modify of add to your campbox. Don't be discouraged, not every trip is nice and sunny... sometimes it rains.

Don't listen to nay-sayers. They will try to change your direction. Nay-sayers always believe the bears (the world) will eat you. Instead, follow your own convictions.

Once at camp, unpack and analyze what you have. Replenish needed items or tools to help you get what you want. Use what you have with you to improvise.

Small fires make small amounts of heat. Fuel the fire. In other words, make a burning desire to get what you want.

Everyone is hungry at camp. Nothing beats camp cooking. Be hungry. In the business world, those who are hungry set the menu for others.

Prepare with health in mind. Camping without health is an empty pot - nothing!

Take out the trash. Don't focus on what others have left you, and make a clean start for the rounds to come. Sometimes this may be merely leftover attitudes.

Reach for the farthest star you can see. If you don't make it, you will have still collected a universe of other stars.

When camping, always train the next troop. Give someone a helping hand as you do your journey.

Don't forget to stop and enjoy the sunset. Do what makes you happy. Value life.

Congratulation Graduating Seniors!

This is my “Cup of Tee” from camp.

obituary

Gregory Daniel Hanks

Gregory Daniel Hanks, 78, of Hagerman, Idaho, returned home to his Heavenly Father on Sunday, May 12th, 2024. He passed away at his home after a long battle with cancer.

Greg was born on January 16, 1946, in Salt Lake City, UT to Floyd Allen Hanks and Lorraine Iola Oblad. He grew up in Utah, Illinois, Indiana, and Minnesota as a child, and then resided in Arizona and Washington prior to coming to Idaho.

As a young man, Greg loved riding his Harley Sportster motorcycle around the Salt Lake valley and especially racing around Liberty Park. His love of motorcycles continued throughout his life, taking his last Harley ride at the age of 74. Greg also realized his sense of patriotism and love of country, enlisting in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve in 1964, where he served for 6 years as an Anti-Tank Assaultman in Ogden, UT. Greg's service in the Marine Corps was instrumental to his confidence and helped him overcome the shyness of his youth.

Greg married his eternal companion, Gloria Dale Casper, (mother of Monica, Jennifer, and Benjamin) on December 1st, 1990 in the Seattle Washington Temple. They then moved to Chelan, WA in 1991 where they lived for 25 years. Greg previously married Clydene Van Deren and was blessed with Heather (stepdaughter), Donnie (stepson), David and Danny.

Greg and Gloria owned and operated Sunshine Cleaners in Chelan for 7 years, where Greg's outgoing personality and desire to serve others shined through. One of his highlights was a drycleaning delivery route that brought him to his sons' athletic games around eastern Washington. He loved rooting for his boys in their sporting events. A self-proclaimed driving expert, Greg spent most of his working life driving various types of semi-trucks until he retired in 2014. Greg and Gloria moved to Hagerman, ID in 2016 to be closer to family. Greg is a dedicated disciple of Jesus Christ and served as a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where he loved to serve in the House of the Lord.

Greg is preceded in death by his father, Floyd, and mother, Lorraine.

Greg is survived by his wife, Gloria; sons: Donnie (Cherie) Hanks - Rimrock, AZ; David Hanks - South Jordan, UT; Danny (Miesha) Hanks - Harker Heights, TX; Benjamin (Karlenn) Smith - Idaho Falls, ID; daughters: Monica (Brett) Coon - Meridian, ID; Jennifer (Don) Vivier - Virginia Beach, VA; brothers: Steve Hanks - Salt Lake City, UT; Vic Deauvono - Orem, UT; Jodi Ellefson - Brewster, WA; sisters: Heidi deVries - Pasco, WA; Julie Rees - Salt Lake City, UT, and 21 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren.

A public viewing will be held at Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel on Friday, May 31st from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

2023 CONSUMER CONFIDENCE REPORT

City of Gooding, Idaho

Spanish (Espanol)

Este informe contiene informacion muy importante sobre Ia calidad de su agua beber. Traduscalo o hable con alguien que lo entienda bien.

Is my water safe?

We are pleased to present this year's Annual Water Quality Report (Consumer Confidence Report) as required by the Safe Drinking Water Act (SOW A). This report is designed to provide details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to standards set by regulatory agencies. This report is a snapshot of last year's water quality. We are committed to providing you with information because informed customers are our best allies.

Do I need to take special precautions?

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immunocompromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Water Drinking Hotline (800-426-4791).

Where does my water come from?

The city operates 4 Ground Water Well pumping stations that draw water from a depth of around 300 feet.

Source water assessment and its availability

The city has recently completed a source water assessment, copies are available from city hall. The document addresses efforts to protect the watershed and protect our drinking water.

Why are there contaminants in my drinking water?

Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity: microbial contaminants, such as viruses and

bacteria, that may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife; inorganic contaminants such as salts and metals, which can be naturally occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff industrial, or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming; pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses; organic Chemical Contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems: and radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is sate to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.

How can I get involved?

City Council holds meetings the first and third Monday of every month and is always interested in hearing from the public.

Description of Water Treatment Process

Your water is treated by disinfection. Disinfection involves the addition of chlorine or other disinfectant to kill dangerous bacteria and microorganisms that may be in the water. Disinfection is considered to be one of the major public health advances of the 20th century.

Water Conservation Tips

Did you know that the average U.S. household uses approximately 400 gallons of water per day or 100 gallons per person per day? Luckily, there are many low-cost and no-cost ways to conserve water. Small changes can make a big difference - try one today and soon it will become second nature.

• Take short showers - a 5 minute shower uses 4 to 5 gallons of water compared to up to 50 gallons for a bath.

• Shut off water while brushing your teeth, washing your hair and shaving and save up to 500 gallons a month.

• Use a water-efficient showerhead. They're inexpensive, easy to install, and can save you up to 750 gallons a month.

• Run your clothes washer and dishwasher only when they are full. You can save up to 1,000 gallons a month.

• Water plants only when necessary.

• Fix leaky toilets and faucets. Faucet washers are inexpensive and take only a few minutes to replace. To check your toilet for a leak, place a few drops of food coloring in the tank and wait. If it seeps into the toilet bowl without flushing, you have a leak. Fixing it or replacing it with a new, more efficient model can save up to 1,000 gallons a month.

• Adjust sprinklers so only your lawn is watered. Apply water only as fast as the soil can absorb it and during the cooler parts of the day to reduce evaporation.

• Teach your kids about water conservation to ensure a future generation that uses water wisely. Make it a family effort to reduce next month's water bill!

• Visit www.epa.gov/watersense for more information.

Cross Connection Control Survey

The purpose of this survey is to determine whether a cross-connection may exist at your home or business. A cross connection is an unprotected or improper connection to a public water distribution system that may cause contamination or pollution to enter the system. We are responsible for enforcing cross-connection control regulations and insuring that no contaminants can, under any flow conditions, enter the distribution system. If you have any of the devices listed below please contact us so that we can discuss the issue, and if needed, survey your connection and assist you in isolating it if that is necessary.

• Boiler/ Radiant heater (water heaters not included)

• Underground lawn sprinkler system

• Pool or hot tub (whirlpool tubs not included)

• Additional source(s) of water on the property

• Decorative pond

• Watering trough

Source Water Protection Tips

Protection of drinking water is everyone's responsibility. You can help protect your community's drinking water source in several ways:

• Eliminate excess use of lawn and garden fertilizers and pesticides - they contain hazardous chemicals that can reach your drinking water source.

• Pick up after your pets.

• If you have your own septic system, properly maintain your system to reduce leaching to water sources or consider connecting to a public water system.

• Dispose of chemicals properly; take used motor oil to a recycling center.

• Volunteer in your community. Find a watershed or wellhead protection organization in your community and volunteer to help. If there are no active groups, consider starting one. Use EPA's Adopt Your Watershed to locate groups in your community, or visit the Watershed Information Network's How to Start a Watershed Team.

• Organize a storm drain stenciling project with your local government or water supplier. Stencil a message next to the street drain reminding people "Dump No WasteDrains to River" or "Protect Your Water." Produce and distribute a flyer for households to remind residents that storm drains dump directly into your local water body.

Additional Information for Lead

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. City of Gooding is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

Additional Information for Arsenic

While your drinking water meets EPA's standard for arsenic, it does contain low levels of arsenic. EPA's standard balances the current understanding of arsenic's possible health effects against the costs of removing arsenic from drinking water. EPA continues to research the health effects of low levels of arsenic which is a mineral known to cause cancer in humans at high concentrations and is linked to other health effects such as skin damage and circulatory problems.

Water Quality Data Tables

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations 'which limit the amount of contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The table below lists all of the drinking 'water contaminants that we detected during the calendar year of this report. Although many more contaminants were tested, only those substances listed below were found in your water. All sources of drinking water contain some naturally occurring contaminants. At low levels, these substances are generally not harmful in our drinking water. Removing all contaminants would be extremely expensive, and in most cases, would not provide increased protection of public health. A few naturally occurring minerals may actually improve the taste of drinking water and have nutritional value at low levels. Unless otherwise noted, the data presented in this table is from testing done in the calendar year of the report. The EPA or the State requires us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not vary significantly from year to year, or the system is not considered vulnerable to this type of contamination. As such, some of our data, though representative, may be more than one year old. In this table you will find terms and abbreviations that might not be familiar to you. To help you better understand these terms, we have provided the definitions below the table. For more information, please contact Charles L. Bybee
