Camas P&Z to Continue Working on Airport Language

Last Tuesday, the Camas County Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously decided to continue working on the draft of the Public Airport Facilities addition to the county’s comprehensive plan. The primary reason they did not move forward with the existing draft was because it lacked clear definition and/or delineation between public and private airports. While the proposed Section XVII is titled “Public Airport Facilities,” it mentions private airports several times without stating how they would be treated differently. The public in attendance at this meeting was overwhelming opposed to any language (or lack of language) that would allow the continued construction of a private airport near Willow Creek (i.e. Soldier Field Airport owned by IxNay Investment Trust). Several individuals went so far as to claim there is county wide opposition to this particular airport. This raises the question, “Can counties prohibit private airports?” According to Idaho State Statues, cities and counties are required to address public airport facilities in their comprehensive plans. More importantly, however, they are required to address aviation hazards that might impact airports within their jurisdiction. This includes identifying and prohibiting development that might render an airport unusable. Cities and counties can establish zoning that affects where airports might be located, but this is to mitigate hazards, not to prohibit them from existing. P&Z Commissioner, Jeff Kreyssig, supports the idea of putting restrictive language in the comprehensive plan. There are two problem with doing this. First, the comp plan can not be used to legislate. The Idaho Supreme Court has

repeatedly stated that comprehensive plans are not legally binding law. Additionally, while cities and county can not ignore their comp plans, state statues do not require strict conformity to this document. The other problem with restrictive language in the comp plan is how it might affect other private airports in Camas County. There are a dozen or so airports in the area, including the public airports at Fairfield and West Magic. Of the other airports (a broad legal term referring to any location where an aircraft might land), only three are recognized by the FFA. Going through the FFA approval process establishes clear airspace for an airport, but does not guarantee the absences of aviation hazards. Presumably, a distinction could be made between airports that exceed a certain size, but would that be based on actual size or permitted size? In the case of Soldier Field Airport the permitted size (according to FAA) is 8500 feet, but the actual size is only about 5000 feet (a couple thousand feet longer than Fairfield’s airport). Of course, this sort of regulation can not be done in the comprehensive plan. It must be done in the Zoning Ordinance. Several individuals who testified at the hearing stated that they had no problem with someone building a dirt (gravel) landing strip for their own private use, without restrictions. At the current time, that is all that is going on at Soldier Field Airport. So again, should zoning restrictions only apply to actual construction, or to future possibilities as well? The P&Z Commission ended the meeting by voting to explore the possibility of forming a citizens advisory committee to help form the language of this section.

Hydroelectric Plant

Last Friday, USDA Rural Development joined North Gooding Main Hydro, LLC to celebrate the open house and ribbon cutting ceremony for a newly constructed Renewable Energy System, located on Milner Gooding Canal. “To foster rural economic development and growth, Congress reauthorized and expanded the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) as part of the 2014 Farm Bill. REAP provides financial assistance, through grants or loan guarantees, to agricultural producers and rural small businesses to purchase renewable energy systems or make energy efficiency improvements,” said USDA Rural Development Rural Energy Coordinator Dale Lish. “Renewable energy systems provide a significant opportunity for rural economic development and growth. These opportunities include increasing local revenue, bolstering the local job market, and increasing the economic yield of our important rural land resources.” USDA Rural Development provides loans and grants to help expand economic opportunities and create jobs in rural areas. This assistance supports infrastructure improvements; business development; homeownership; community services, and high-speed intemet access in rural areas.

Cup of Tee

Yesterday I was sitting in a cafe in Meridian, Idaho. I ordered spaghetti and meatballs for lunch since they used to be really good at that restaurant. The menu used to be all-you-could-eat served with some french bread. To my surprise the order was made with some type of pre-made meatballs, not the homemade one I had eaten so many times before. I guess some things do change as time goes on, if not only in appearance. The good spaghetti would keep me coming back, and to my memory, it did. The bread wasn’t french bread and I don’t even know if the meal was all I could eat. Whether it was or not, I don’t know that wanted a second helping. As I was finishing, an older fellow that had been sitting a few stools down from me said, “Excuse me, sir. What is your name?” He looked puzzled as I told him. He had slightly longer hair and a beard. He then told me that he used to be a barber down the street. My memory kicked in and I told him I used to work at the lumber yard across the street from him, and I had sat in his chair many times. Then he remembered me. Both of us had changed a little since he retired ten years ago. I

am a little grayer (or even white) since I last saw him and he wasn’t with the clean-cut barber look he always had. Our memories were still there. Last week at the bank an older gentleman and I were waiting in line because all the tellers were busy. I told the older fellow that it was sure hot today. He agreed and said, “Yes, it is hot today, but not as bad as yesterday. I was baling hay for the last two days and yesterday was exceptionally warm.” He then said, “I have been baling with a baler with a self contained motor on it.” I replied, “Was the baler equipped with an old Wisconsin motor and were you pulling it with a Farmall H tractor?” He told me, “Yes, but I was pulling the baler with a Farmall C. I have had to do a few repairs, but the baler is still going. I bought it from Scarlett Implement when they went out of business at their auction. The baler didn’t sell but I went up the next day and bought it. Tee Hurd had that old baler and it sure has been a good one.” Since I worked at Scarlett Implement, I knew they had been out of business nearly 30 years. I then asked the older fellow, “Is that baler a New Holland brand?” He told me it was. I replied, “I know the exact baler... continued on page 6

Caregiving In Idaho – A Lifespan Respite Summit

Cloyce Ormen Edwards passed away June 8, 2017 at his home in West Magic, ID. He was born to Clarence Oliver and Eva Josephine Edwards on December 11, 1931 in Jewel, Kansas. The family migrated to Filer, Idaho where Cloyce grew up. In 1952, he married his sweetheart, Betty Jean George and together they had five children. Cloyce joined the Idaho Army National Guard in the fall of 1949 and was drafted into the Korean War in March of 1953. He shot one of the highest scores on the rifle range at Ft. Ord; later he attended sniper school at Ft. Lewis. He received two Distinction Service Awards for outstanding performance. In 1955, he started a gunstock business, making gunstocks for shooters around the world. For 11 years he held the Idaho Pistol Shooting Champion title as well as several National shooting titles. In 1960, he opened the Blue Lakes Sporting Goods in Twin Falls where he specialized in gun repair as well as selling guns. In addition to running the store, he joined the Twin Falls Police Department and worked in the uniform and detective divisions. Twelve years later, he started the first private ambulance company in Twin Falls, taking it over from the mortuaries. This private service became one of the largest ambulance services per square mile in the U.S. Cloyce flew many helicopter rescue missions, including picking up Evil Knieval when he attempted his jump of the Snake River. He successfully operated this service for 19 years. He was appointed by Governor John Evans, to head up a task force to begin an Emergency Medical Service for the State of Idaho. Cloyce graduated from the first EMT class. Later, he was appointed as the Civil Defense Director of Twin Falls County. Cloyce also served as the Twin Falls County Coroner for 16 years. When he sold his business, he moved to West Magic Reservoir to continue his fishing interests. Cloyce loved driving his tractor, flying his helicopter, playing the piano and harmonica. Cloyce is survived by his children; Cal (Karla) Edwards, Cerese (Chuck) Davison, Candace (Vance) Whitaker, Carmen Edwards, his close friend and companion Billie Spencer-Grubb, two brothers’ and a sister. 11 Grandchildren, and 27 Great Grandchildren.

Funeral services were held Tuesday, June 13, 2017, at Parke’s Magic Valley Funeral Home in Twin Falls. Interment followed at Sunset Memorial Park in Twin Falls.

On July 7, Boise State University’s Center for the Study of Aging, in concert with the Idaho Caregiver Alliance, will host a full-day summit in Twin Falls for unpaid family caregivers who provide full-time care for family members and loved ones – often with little to no respite or support. Representatives from nonprofit organizations and community leaders who are invested in creating more supportive systems for caregivers and their loved ones also are invited to attend. The Caregiving in Idaho – Lifespan Respite Summit is free and will run from 8:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. at the College of Southern Idaho’s Taylor Building. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided. To register, please visit: https://arch.wildapricot.org/event-2558979 Family caregivers are an essential part of Idaho’s health care system.

Cup of Tee half done...

© ...you are talking about. I know what baler Tee Hurd had because I’m Tee Hurd.” The fellow had never met me but still remembered who he bought the baler from, how much he paid, and where he bought it. I can’t even remember the lady I bought my last baler from. Some of our seniors have some of the best stories and experiences we often take for granted, including memory. Some members of a family are able to repeat or pass on memories to the younger generation, but so much is being lost. There aren’t pictures to look at because they are locked in a cell phone. Experiences aren’t told at the dinner table anymore. The older gentleman was up to be served after me. As I started to leave the teller said, “See you later, Tee.” The older man looked around at me and smiled, for we both were able to share a parallel memory. This is my “Cup of Tee” remembered.

from the Editor If I were Bruce (Willis)

If you look at property ownership of land on the east end of Camas County, you will not see the name “Bruce Willis” on anything. The owner of the so called “Bruce Willis Airport” is actually Ix-Nay Investment Trust. It is not uncommon for people and/or families to create such entities for their businesses. In fact, many of our farming families operate this way. That said, if I were Bruce, I would just go ahead and build my gravel landing strip - Build, Bruce, Build! Why? There are two main reasons. First, Camas County doesn’t have any legal basis to stop him from building a gravel landing strip. It is a matter of public record that the County Commissioners have already said he could build it. More over, Camas County has set precedent by allowing other individuals in various locations of the county to do this very same thing. Denying Bruce Willis this opportunity is a violation of his private property rights (and by extension, ours as well). Of course, Camas County attempted to change their Zoning Ordinance (after threat of a lawsuit) to make it necessary for individuals to obtain some sort of permit before building a new airport, landing strip, etc. Unfortunately, they failed to follow certain procedures and now (due to a lawsuit) those changes are void, putting the county right back where they were before. So... Build, Bruce, Build! The second reason that, if I were Bruce, I would just build it, is this: If I were building this landing strip, no one would say a word about it. In fact, if it were anyone else were doing this project, no one would have objected. No lawsuits would have been filed, no rumors about 747’s would have floated through the community, no articles would have been written in the Idaho Mountain Express, and the world of entertainment news would have been deprived of a juicy bit of tittle-tattle. In America today, there is a deep seated distrust of successful people. While there are certainly individuals with lots of money who are despicable, most rich people obtained their wealth through steadfast perseverance. Some of them undoubtedly had a bit of help, but it was hard work that made them successful. It is the height of ignorance to automatically assume that wealthy people are out to screw the little guy. There is no denying the “possibility” of a large commercial airport on the east end of the Camas Prairie. It has been talked about for twenty-plus years, and while Mr. Willis may have that sort of facility in mind for the future, that is NOT what is currently being built. Building a commercial airport (even without changes to the comp plan) would require zoning changes, numerous building permits, millions of dollars, and none of that would guarantee federal approval. So... Build, Bruce, Build!

Temporary Fencing This Week’s Sudoku Puzzle Answers Puzzle #2 - Hard For Sage Grouse Puzzle #1 - Easy

By Doug Megargle Regional Fisheries Manager

Crews are constructing temporary electric fences in Southern Idaho as part of a long-term research project to find out if spring grazing affects nesting sage-grouse. The electric fences help to manage livestock so the ranchers can still graze portions of pastures while other portions are not grazed. Thank you for your help keeping the gates closed as you drive along the two-track roads intersected by the electric fences. Fences are on Browns Bench (west of Salmon Falls Creek Reservoir) and southwest of Malta on the southeast side of Jim Sage Mountain. We also have fences southeast of Grasmere in Owyhee County and west of Atomic City, south of Big Southern Butte in Butte County. The fences will be removed once grazing finishes this fall.

Idaho’s Rivers Remain Above Average

June 7, 2017 – The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has just released the sixth water supply outlook report for the 2016 water year. Data shows that a solid snowpack still exists above 8,000 feet in the central mountains, and in most basins, the remaining high elevation snowpack is more than twice normal. In addition, residual streamflow forecasts call for average or greater June to July volumes across the state. While May brought lower than normal precipitation to Idaho, the water year-to-date precipitation is above normal across the state ranging from a low of 127% of average in the Spokane and Salmon Falls basins to 170% in Little Wood and Big Lost basins. It is worth noting that with the exception of the Mud Lake area, Idaho as a whole has already received its annual precipitation for the water year that runs from October to September. Currently, it’s the reservoirs that are on Idaho’s “must watch” list. Spillways that have not been used in years have opened up, while others have been releasing water since mid-February to make room for this winter’s snowmelt. In the June Water Supply Outlook report, NRCS Snow Survey staff note that the multiple streamflow peaks resulting from May’s yo-yo-like temperatures are good, but are also keeping reservoir operators on their toes. The June 1 streamflow forecasts call for two general categories. In the Clearwater basin and Panhandle region, streamflows are projected at 100 to 125% of average. For the rest of the state, numerous streams have and may continue to set new daily high flow levels this year and are projected at 150 to 250% if average for the June to July period. “Water users, managers, river runners, and concerned public will want to keep watching the weather, snowmelt rates and river levels until we are assured the high water season is behind us and the dry summer season is here,” said Ron Abramovich, Water Supply Specialist for NRCS Idaho.
