Water Supply Expected to be Adequate

The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has released the sixth and final water supply outlook report for the 2018 water year. As of June 1, the snow measuring sites in the Weiser, Owyhee, Salmon Falls and Oakley basins are melted out. On the other end of the spectrum, the Clearwater and Spokane basins have above normal snowpack for this time at 115% and 109 respectively. The Big Wood basin is at 57% of normal with the other central and southern Idaho basins at less than half of normal. The remaining basins have near normal snowpacks. The majority of streams across the state have seen their snowmelt streamflow peak for the season. The May rain provided a boost in runoff for many rivers with the exceptions being in southern Idaho. The state’s reservoirs are in great shape. Some reservoirs in southern Idaho have already peaked for the season and are being drafted as irrigation demand exceeds inflows. A few are at or near full and have begun passing flows and the remaining reservoirs will complete their final fills soon. Overall, precipitation since the water year started on October 1, 2017, varies across the state with watersheds ranging from 80 to 120% of average. “The thing to remember is that overall, Idaho’s water users will have an adequate supply resulting from a combination of the 2017 snowfall that provided excellent reservoir carryover storage and streamflows that were above average all winter,” Abramovich said. For information on specific basins, streams, and reservoirs, please view the full report online at June Water Supply Outlook Report: www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/main/id/snow/

North Canyon Medical Center Receives DNV-GL Accreditation

North Canyon Medical Center (NCMC) announced last week the successful completion of its new accreditation process from DNV-GL Healthcare. The accreditation program - National Integrated Accreditation for Healthcare program (NIAHO) - involves annual hospital surveys, instead of every three years. Hospitals are encouraged to openly share information across departments to discover improvements in clinical workflows and safety protocols. By earning this accreditation, North Canyon Medical Center has demonstrated it meets or exceeds patient safety standards (Conditions of Participation) set forth by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). DNV-GL’s accreditation program is the only one to integrate the ISO 9001 Quality Management System with the Medicare Conditions of Participation. “The DNV-GL program is consistent with our long-term commitment to quality and patient safety,” said NCMC CEO, Tim Powers. “The ability to integrate ISO 9001 quality standards with our clinical and financial processes is a major step forward.” The ISO 9001 is the world’s most trusted quality management system used by performance-driven organizations around the world to advance their quality and sustainability objectives. “We appreciate the attention to detail offered by DNV with an annual survey. It ensures our facility is always on top of patient safety standards,” stated Powers. This accredidation adds to the 5-Star ranking received from CMS last year. NCMC was one of five medical centers in Idaho to receive the award, and the only facility in the Magic Valley. North Canyon also topped last year’s list of hospitals with the cleanest patient rooms. Based on patient reports, NCMC scored 96% (the national average is 74 percent). ### North Canyon Medical Center, in Gooding, is a small, rural medical center. The people they serve are families, friends and neighbors. Their goal is to ensure that their patients can stay close to home without sacrificing the quality of medical care. Size should not limit the access to the finest health care available, or the level of professionalism and advanced medical technology.

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor: I have been in Scouts for about 8 years. I have gained many friends along the way and have had many good times. We plan a camp-out every month. We have been to Bruneau Sand Dunes, Craters of the Moon, Little City of Rocks, and many more places. I have also learned many things while having a good time. At Little City of Rocks I learned new rock climbing techniques. At Bruneau I learned how to cook better and many other things. I would suggest other kids join Boy Scouts. The things I have learned from scouting will help me throughout my entire life - from tieing knots to life long lessons. I would also like to thank my Scout leaders for donating their time so we can learn and have a good time. Jacob Philips - Troop 32 - Gooding, Idaho -- -- -- -- -Thank You... Thank You... Thank You! A very sincer THANKS is extended to everyone from the Gooding Community that helped the local VFW Post 3078 member place crosses and flags on the resting sites of 600 plus Veterans in Elmwood Cemetery on May 25th for Memorial Day. We also thank David E White for his leadership in this project for this year. VFW Auxiliary and American Legion Auxiliary blue flags were placed on their resting places too. Also one cross and flag was placed at the resting site of the only know Veteran in the Pioneer Cemetery. If anyone knows the grave sites of other Veterans in the Pioneer Cemetery, please contact VFW Chaplain Don Larson 934-4887. Elmwood Cemetery has one Medal Of Honor Veteran (Army) from the Civil War.

Summer Sealcoat Projects Beginning

1-888-934-1862 • Wednesday, June 13, 2018 • The Courier NEWS

Multiple sealcoat projects are expected to be completed this summer on highways throughout the region, including a stretch of Interstate 84 near Wendell starting next week. Sealcoating is a roadway surface treatment that occurs during the summer months and helps preserve and extend the lifetime of Idaho’s roadways. It also provides a skid-resistant surface for better vehicle traction. The process requires hot temperatures and dry weather for chips to properly adhere to oil that is deposited on the highway. When sealcoats are applied, roadways will be reduced to one lane. Motorists should anticipate short delays and watch for the presence of flaggers or pilot cars. Chips placed during the sealcoating process have potential to cause windshield damage so drivers are cautioned to slow down and pay attention to reduced speeds and no passing zones throughout the work area. Sealcoating projects scheduled to occur this summer along with their anticipated start date, location, and length are as follows: June 10: Interstate 84 - approximately 10 miles near Wendell June 15: Interstate 84 - approximately 13 miles near Bliss June 19: US-20 - approximately 15 miles near Fairfield and 10 miles near Picabo June 25: US-26 - approximately 12 miles near Gooding Aug 15: Idaho Highway 46 - approximately 13 miles near Johnson Hill ITD and the Idaho State Police advise motorists to slow down and pay attention when driving in work zones, where increased speeding fines and other penalties apply. Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead and dial 5-1-1 or visit 511.idaho.gov for information on the state highway or interstate system.

Many anglers look forward to fishing for Chinook in Idaho rivers, but there are other places to fish for them. They’re not Chinook that come from the ocean, Fish and Game stocks land-locked Chinook in lakes and reservoirs, and biologists are asking anglers to help them learn more about these fish in Anderson Ranch, Lucky Peak and Deadwood reservoirs in southwest Idaho and Spirit Lake in North Idaho. “To evaluate the performance of these fish, we are asking for anglers to provide fin clips,” Research Biologist Phil Branigan said. “We’re currently stocking two types of Chinook in reservoirs, sterile and fertile, and we’re trying to learn which ones are more likely to get caught by anglers.” Researchers are also doing work to determine how the two types of Chinook differ in growth rates. The study is expected to last four to five years. Researchers are relying on anglers because they are the most cost-effective way of getting fin clips. “We can’t do this evaluation without their cooperation,” Branigan said. The process is simple: Catch a Chinook from any of the four waters that are part of the research. Chinook can be identified by black spots on their backs, black gum lines, and a clipped adipose fin. Clip a small (about the size of a hole punch) portion of any fin. A sample can be taken from any size of Chinook, and the fish can be harvested or released. Place the fin clip in an envelope provided at kiosks. Seal the envelope and keep it dry to avoid spoiling. Deposit the envelope in the drop box at the kiosks, which can be found at major access points at the four locations. Land-locked Chinook in lakes and reservoirs can have double benefits for anglers. They prevent kokanee from getting overpopulated and undersized, which means larger kokanee for anglers. At the same time, Chinook grow large and provide trophy fish for anglers to catch. Chinook are stocked at low densities so they don’t outcompete kokanee, which are also valued by anglers. “We’re hopeful that by stocking the best type of Chinook, we can ultimately make fishing better, so we’re optimistic anglers will help us with this project,” Branigan said. Kiosks are installed at Lucky Peak, Anderson Ranch, Deadwood and Spirit Lake. For more information about the study call (208) 465-8404 ext. 233.
