News Cloud Seeding In Idaho
Wood River Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) will be at the Fairfield City Council this Thursday, June 11th, to make a presentation regarding South Central Idaho’s Precipitation Enhancement Strategy (SCIPES). The last several years of below average snowfall have created difficulties for our area, particularly in agriculture. So much so, that a water call was filed earlier this year with the Idaho Department of Water Resources affecting water users in the Wood River Valley and on the Camas Prairie. While SCIPES may not directly affect the ongoing water call process, it could help reduce future water problems by increasing the snowpack in the areas that provide water for the Camas Creek and Big Wood River drainage areas. The main method of enhancing precipitation involves “cloud seeding” using ground based equipment and aircraft to deliver par-

ticulates to storm clouds to encourage the formation of ice crystals which then fall to the ground as snow. Cloud seeding can increase precipitation by as much as 10%, but it is not without controversy. The most common substances used for cloud seeding include silver iodide, potassium iodide and dry ice (solid carbon dioxide). The environmental and health impacts of putting chemicals into the air is a concern to many people. The toxicity of silver iodide is considered low by most studies, but some argue that sensitive individuals and environments could be affected. The presentation by RC&D is mainly a request for funding from the City of Fairfield to support the project, but they will also be providing information and they encourage businesses and individuals to attend. The City Council meeting begins at 7:00 p.m. The RC&D presentation will follow a few preliminary procedures.

ArtWorks
in Hagerman
by Ruth Simerly Paintings, pottery, photographs, and cards created by local artists fill the Art Works River Gallery at the corner of Main and State Street (Highway 30) in Hagerman. The owners, Joe and Judy Greif, have spent the past year reaching out to the Hagerman community, visitors from around Magic Valley, and tourists, offering a place for local artists to display and sell their work. In addition, the couple teaches classes in pottery, painting, drawing and music, and hosts monthly musical programs by local musicians. The gallery’s first featured local artist, LeRoy Holloway, displayed an extensive collection of western-themed paintings and Idaho landscapes. More than 10 other artists have shown their art in the gallery, including Mary Butler, Jerry Kencke, Rosie Eckert, and Teddy Keaton. Father and son, Ron and Jason Hicks, are scheduled to be the next featured artists in June. Joe and Judy share a passion for enhancing the quality of life through increasing awareness and appreciation of the visual and performing arts; creating a welcoming environment for local artists; providing a venue for people to meet for fellowship and entertainment; and providing a place where children can see original art and have hands-on activities. The couple has spent a combined total of more than 40 years in art, photography and music education and consider themselves fortunate to have been able to continue with the gallery. Art Works River Gallery is open Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday through Saturday, and at other times by appointment. You are invited to stop in, browse through the gallery, ask questions, and enjoy a cup of tea or glass of water with Joe and Judy. They can be reached at (208)751-4508. Classes are forming for the fall. Judy and Joe can provide information about these, as well as discuss any interest you may have in bringing your art to the gallery.

Summer Fluoride Varnish Clinics South Central Public Health District (SCPHD) is offering fluoride varnish applications to children twelve and younger. Fluoride varnish, which is a gel-like substance that is “painted” on the child’s teeth with a small brush, strengthens tooth enamel to reduce and/or prevent tooth decay. The varnish is very safe since it’s applied directly to the teeth, and children can receive a fluoride varnish application as soon as they get their first teeth. Fluoride varnish clinics will be held from 11 to 2 on the following dates and locations: · In Jerome at South Central Public Health (951 East Avenue H) on July 17. Call 324-8838 to schedule an appointment. · In Gooding at South Central Public Health District (255 North Canyon Drive) on June 26. Call 934-4477 to schedule an appointment. · In Bellevue at South Central Public Health District (117 East Ash Street) on August 21. Call 788-4335 to schedule an appointment. SCPHD will bill Medicaid, Blue Cross, Regence, and Delta Dental (typically varnish is covered every six months). Children who are uninsured can still be seen at these clinics. If you have any questions about fluoride varnish, please call Susie Beem at 737-5946.

Gooding Fire Department Fund Raiser 2015 The Gooding Community is Awesome!
Sometimes we take things for granted. For instance, being from or living in a small town. You are still a person and not a number or a statistic to make numbers work. I don’t know how I would get along in a city such as New York City or Los Angeles. If you said hello to a person in one of those cities, they might think you are trying to rob them. Last weekend I was in Portland, Oregon, to attend a funeral. To some, Portland is a big town. To me it doesn’t seem that big. The only big thing to me is to mix a multitude of traffic and pouring rain. Those are a combo that makes for situations sometimes beyond one’s control. Fortunately for me, the weather in Portland was beautiful this last weekend. The people who attended and who were in the Rose Parade probably loved the great day as well. A good share of the hotels were full due to the parade. Vacancy signs became signs - NO VACANCY. I shuffled around and found a hotel to stay in. Once in the lobby filling out the paperwork, I was charged double my room rate for a deposit. I asked the clerk if I was being punished for using cash. I told them if they thought I was going to steal all the towels, I would use my own personal towel. If they were desperate enough, I told them I would even leave my towel for them. They assured me it was just policy. For all of you credit card holders, you should probably check your final bill when you leave a hotel. You may have charges you are unaware of. (Foot Note: the hotel said they’d inspect my room upon leaving. They did not.) Around Midnight a maintenance crew was disassembling a door a couple down from mine. Did someone lose the magnetic code? For a large chain I was a little disheartened that their problem was not cured after the 11 a.m. check-out instead of during the 1 a.m. sleep-time. Since I was awake I decided to take a walk about. Once in the parking lot waiting for more lights to come on due to noise, I was approached twice by people asking me for a cigarette. I don’t smoke!! I remember my dad saying, “I don’t care if you smoke, but don’t ever let me catch you bumming cigarettes.” Perhaps these people didn’t have a dad that cared or scared you from smoking. Maybe they weren’t from a small town whereas everyone shares and everyone know everyone (in this, sharing a smoke would be different). I walked a few blocks away to a local Walmart. “Sorry, we close at midnight.” That was cool with me, so I walked a few blocks more to a Jack-In-The-Box restaurant. Their lobby closed at midnight as well. I figured I would walk through the drivethrough. People behind me gave me thumbs-up for a guy without a car. At the window the server the server refused to wait on me because I didn’t have a car. I have heard of, “No shirts, No shoes, No service,” but “No car, No service!?” Sorry to say my money went somewhere else. Sometimes small town is THE BEST. Tee This is my “Cup of Tee” from the HOME front. Hurd
Gooding businesses participated in the Fire Pup Program once again this year, enabling the fire department to distribute fire prevention materials throughout the Gooding schools. They were able to educate grades K-5 with the materials. Also hats off to the community for participating in the “Fill the Boot for Vision” this year. They were able to raise $3000.00 for the Gooding Lions Club. This money will be spent locally on eye glasses and doctor visits. The Annual Fire Department BBQ will be held on Saturday, June 27th, from 11 to 3 at the West Park in Gooding. During the day long event will include static displays from the Gooding Fire Department, Forest Service, BLM, and the National Guard. A general raffle along with a rifle raffle will take place around 2 p.m. As always, BBQ shirts will be for sale along with their pink shirts. Proceeds from the pink shirts sells go directly to local families here in Gooding who are dealing with cancer. Over the last few years, the Gooding Fire Department has donated thousands of dollars to families in our community. This year they are raising money to replenish the Bumout Fund, and to raise funds for the training facility located at 2ll 2lst Ave East. The property donated by Joe and Kay Hults and office trailers donated by Glanbia Foods has created an opportunity to build a county wide training site. Currently they would like to add a forceful entry prop to the training facility. The prop costs over $5000, but helps them remain proficient in opening locked and barricaded doors. It will be mobile and shared with the other fire departments in the area. On June 27th come help them celebrate l07 years of service to the community. If you are unable to attend you can mail a donation to the Gooding Fire Department at: 422 Idaho Street - Gooding, Idaho 83330. Please make checks payable to Gooding Fireman’s Benefit Fund (GFBF).
The Camas Athletic Booster Club is selling raffle tickets for TWO 3-Day passes to the Mountain Home Music Festival to be held July 31st thru August 2nd. Tickets are $10 each and only 500 raffle tickets will be sold. The winner will be drawn on July 11th at the Camas County Rodeo.

This year’s theme is in American Sign Language, and is roughly translated into “Language Sharing, Community, Unity” which is a reflection of the National Association of the Deaf’s theme during their conference last summer. The premise is that decisions made in Deaf Education, accessibility for the Deaf, and services for the Deaf, should be made with our input and that all aspects of our community should work together. Local businesses and individuals are being asked to help by donating to the local organization to help make the Gooding Youth Conference the best it can be. Any contribution is appreciated, and it is a great opportunity to showcase your business to the community and people all over Idaho. An added bonus is that your contribution is tax deductible. For more information, email iadconference2015@ gmaiI.com or call 208-5389210. You can also mail donations to: 913 Colorado Street - Gooding, Idaho 83330. Please make checks payable to Idaho Association of the Deaf.
