Tribes of Idaho Take to the Air
Last week the Airmen of the Idaho Air National Guard’s 124th Fighter Wing held a ceremony in Boise to dedicate an A-10C Thunderbolt II aircraft to the tribes of Idaho. Historically, combat flying squadrons used nose art (creative dedications to specific people, places, or
concepts) to personalize combat aircraft and boost unit morale. Artwork was in high demand during World War II, and extravagant creations highlighted unit pride and cohesion. In this tradition, the United States Air Force allows specialized artwork for aircraft that is distinctive and symbolic to enhance unit morale. “The Idaho Air National Guard values its relationship with the tribes of Idaho,” said Maj. Gen. Gary Sayler, commanding general of the Idaho National Guard. “They’re a key part of our community and we want to acknowledge their longstanding support.” Eventually, the 124th
Fighter Wing will dedicated each of the Idaho Air National Guard fighter jets assigned to Gowen Field. This Idaho ANG community recognition program acknowledges the support and sacrifices communities and citizens make to defend freedom at home and abroad. More than 1,300 Air National Guardsmen from across Idaho support the mission of the A-10C through either full-time or part-time participation in military readiness training. They support both the federal combat mission of the 124th Fighter Wing and the state of Idaho’s military mission as directed by the governor and led by the adjutant general.

Staggered Food Stamps
Households receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, also known as Food Stamps, will see a change when their monthly benefits become available on the SNAP benefit card, also called an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card. Currently, all SNAP recipients get benefits on the 1st of the month. Under Staggered Issuance, the day that households get their benefits will be spread out over the first 10 days of the month. Starting July 1, 2016, current SNAP cardholders will receive SNAP benefits according to their assigned issuance date, which is based on the last digit of the cardholder’s birth year.

Lamont “Monty” Baker
Let me tell you a story about Monty Baker. Monty was a generous man. To his immediate family he was a devoted husband, a proud father, a warm fatherin-law, a delighted grandfather. He was beloved as a son, brother, uncle and friend. And, as many can attest, he was funny. Monty loved to laugh – and to make others laugh. He was generous with his humor, his love and his friendship, and if there were a way he could help a friend, he would do it. Monty was born January 4, 1937 in Burley, Idaho. The family moved to San Bruno, California, and he graduated from Capuchino High School in 1955. He learned to count sheep in the stockyards with his father, and though he developed an amazing skill, he often said that he could never beat his dad at counting sheep. As a young man, Monty traveled throughout eight states on the sheep circuit, buying and shipping lambs. On a circuit through Idaho as a sheep man, he met “a cattleman’s daughter,” Joyce Higley, and they were married one month later on February 9, 1963. They enjoyed a “two year honeymoon” traveling the west, and eventually settled in Gooding, Idaho. There, Monty would become manager and partner in Blincoe’s Meat Packing House. Monty was on the board of directors of Idaho Livestock Hall of fame for many years, and was proud to be inducted in 2005. When the plant closed, Monty went to work for Reed Grain, which eventually led to positions with Simplot and AgriSource. He always enjoyed his coworkers, and had many great stories about the practical jokes they played on each other. Monty and Joyce welcomed son, Tom in 1965 and daughter, Tanya in 1971. Gooding was home to Monty; he served the community through B.P.O.E., Rotary, Jaycees, the Hospital Board, the Zoning Board and the board of Gooding Methodist Church. He loved the weekday coffee/lottery crew, and he was proud to tell anyone he met that he was from Gooding, Idaho. Monty loved golf, fishing and bowling, and loved the social time those hobbies brought. As his friends and family can tell you, Monty loved jokes – telling them, playing them and relaying them! And most of all, he could not have
been prouder or more full of love for his children and their families. He liked nothing better than to spend time with Tom and Tanya, and was so happy to welcome Alissa and John into the family. His granddaughters brought him endless joy, and he went to every sports event, concert and ceremony of theirs that he could. Many people are left behind to mourn Monty’s passing, including his beloved wife, Joyce; children, Tom Baker (Alissa Rupp) and Tanya Layer (John Layer); precious granddaughters, Camryn and Sydnee; sister, Patricia (Gil) Rodriguez and brother, Willard (Rae) Baker, and uncle, Jerry Hawkins. He will be missed by sister-in-law, Judy O’Donnell, and his nieces and nephews – Tami, Tina, Brian, Gary, Cathie, Jerri, Cheryl, Renee, and Chris – and their families. He was preceded in death by his brother, John Baker; grandfather, C.C “Pop” Baker; parents, Hilla (Hawkins) and C. Flenoy Baker; in-laws, Albert and LuRayne Higley; and brother-in-law, and dear friend, Patrick O’Donnell. Monty was born on his mother’s birthday – January 4 – and died on his father’s birthday – June 12. Many thanks to the staff of Idaho Home Health and Hospice, who did so much for Monty’s family these last weeks. A viewing will be held at Demaray’s Funeral Chapel in Gooding from 1:00 to 3:00 pm on Friday, June 17, 2016. A funeral service will be held at the Gooding United Methodist Church on Saturday, June 18, 2016 at 1:00 pm. Burial will be in the Elmwood Cemetery in Gooding. A gathering for family and friends will follow at Gooding Country Club. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Monty’s name to the Scleroderma Foundation (www.scleroderma.org), raise a glass of Crown Royal in a toast, and spend one Sunday this fall rooting for the San Francisco 49’ers. Monty was a generous man. As he would say: “It was a great ride and I wouldn’t have missed it for the world.” Arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service.

It is another exciting season for the Camas Bug Crew. The weeds this year definitely got the jump on us. The majority of the weed phrenology is three weeks ahead of schedule, but the bug crew is on the case. This year’s crew members include: returning supervisor Eric McHan and returning crew members Colby Thompson, Connor Peak, and India McHan. This year’s newcomer is Ashly Botz. Her enthusiasm will help her fit right in with the crew this season. One of the earliest weeds to emerge from Camas’s succulent moist soil is Hoary cress, or more commonly known as White top. This savage beast ruins crops and takes over areas where the deer, antelope, native plants roam. White-top is perennial mustard that reproduces both vegetatively and by seed. This deep-rooted, creeping plant can grow to 90 cm tall and invade crops, riparian areas, and rangelands. After its introduction into North America from Eurasia in the late 19th century, white-top has spread aggressively and is now listed as “noxious” in at least 24 states. Leaves are grayish –green, lance shaped, clasping, and up to 10cm long. My momma don’t like you and she likes everyone. Flowers are white, 0.5 cm across and bloom in April and May. The conspicuous dense flower clusters appear flat topped early in the season, but this characteristic disappears as the stem elongates. Flowering stems contain an average of 2,300 seed pods. Seed pods are heart-shaped and contain two small, flat seeds that can remain visible for at least 3 years. A hoary cress consortium of land managers from ID, UT and WY was establish in Switzerland and the University of Idaho to investigate potential candidates for biological control of hoary cress. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is in the final stages of approving a biological control agent for white top. This agent/bug is called Lepidium draba a stem galling weevil that should be sufficient for the job. If you are aware of a infestation of white top, that may be a excellent site for biocontrol, give us a call at 316-0355. Remember this site needs to be free from grazing, mowing, spraying, and cultivation.

RiverFest
Back by popular demand, the Wood River Land Trust’s RiverFest will once again take place in Hailey on the Fourth of July. Filling the gap between the Hailey Days of the Old West Parade and the evening rodeo and fireworks, the free afternoon event is a big hit with folks of all ages. RiverFest begins after the parade ends and runs until 5 pm. It’s held at the Draper Wood River Preserve and Lions Park in Hailey. And while high flows make keep folks from playing in the river, there will be plenty to do along its banks. There will be a variety of food and craft vendors from the Wood Rivers Farmers Market, as well as free ice cream, and a free raffle for a Stand up Paddle Board, including a lesson from Sun Valley’s own SUP superstar, Danny Walton. New for this year will include the Sawtooth Brewery Beer Garden and all kinds of games and activities for kids. There will also be a self-guided nature tour through the Draper Wood River Preserve and an information booth for those wanting to learn more about how they can help save the land and water of our amazing home. The 2nd Annual Wood River Land Trust RiverFest will close out with a free hour-and-a-half long concert from rising country music star Jessica Lynn, who will also be performing the National Anthem to kick off the parade. Attendees are asked to ride a bike or walk to the event if possible. For more information about RiverFest or to volunteer or donate, please check out woodriverlandtrust. org, or call Mike at 208-788-3947.
The other morning when I woke up, the ol’ Pontiac Grand Am had a flat tire. The bead around the rim wasn’t off, so I filled up the air compressor and drug it over to the car and pumped up the tire. The tire pumped up without seeming to leak air. I took off to get to work 50 miles away. I was working ground ahead of a corn planter. Once I got that caught up I was to head back 60 miles to run some equipment and do ground work. The tire was flat when I was ready to go back the opposite direction. I scrounged up an airtank to get air out in the field to air up my tire. I hurried back the opposite direction. Late that night, when I was ready to head home, the tire was flat again. I again gathered up an air tank to load air in my tire. The next morning I was up to go to work before any tire shops were open for repairs. My compressor made the journey across the yard to the car for its second helping for my car’s leaking tire. Before I left I grabbed my personal air tank and loaded it for my reserve way home. Each day I was working before tire shop openings and later than closing time. The pump and fill situation after a few days was kind of a pain. One of my co-workers was going to sell his 2002 Grand Am Pontiac - the motor was having heat issues. He had just put new tires on the car. My car was at a point where it needed tires all around. We made a deal and I bought the car cheaper than I could buy new tires. I could perhaps use some motor parts, shocks and struts, for my car. Using my car for a pickup has definitely broke things down. I asked my co-worker to bring me a tire off of the one I bought from him. Going to work early everyday limited his time as well. So, after a week of pumping my tire every time I went somewhere, I decided to get the tire myself after work. My co-worker lived in the direction of my first day’s low tire experience (40 miles from me). When I got to his freeway exit, it was closed for repair. At eleven at night I ended up going another 15+ miles to get to his house via another exit. Once I got there I used the headlights to take off the tire. That was ok but the car was parked in puncture weeds and the tire was covered with them. Naturally, I was the victim of multiple puncture weeds in my hands. I decided not to change my tires around there. I drove back in to town and proceeded to change my tire for the one I just retrieved. I broke of the lug bolts off my car getting my low tire off. I tried to put the other tire on and it wouldn’t fit. The bolt pattern wasn’t the same. A friend had told me they were two different chassis because he researched and none of the other parts would fit. I placed my tire back on and had to find air for it. This is a case “where the more things stay the same, the more they change.” This is my “Cup of Tee” tire-red of change.

pheasant and turkey hunts to be consistent with their License or Passport requirements. Federal regulations require all youth participating in the Youth Waterfowl Hunt must be accompanied by a licensed adult 18 or older. ► Standardize the age structure for participation in the Youth Pheasant Season to include licensed hunters ten (10) years of age to seventeen (17) years of age, and hunting passport holders eight (8) years of age to seventeen (17) of age. ► Add general hunts to the list of youth-only turkey hunts the Commission may establish. In addition, standardize the age structure for participation in youth-only general and controlled turkey hunts to include licensed hunters ten (10) years of age to seventeen (17) years of age.

Mandatory Trapper Education House Bill 378, passed by the Idaho Legislature in 2016 and signed by the Governor, created mandatory trapping education to be administered by the Fish and Game Commission. The Commission previously scoped trapping education rules and has requested additional review prior to adoption. The trapping education program will focus on teaching trappers effective techniques to reduce the likelihood of non-target catch of dogs and other animals. The Fish and Game Commission will be deciding on one of the following two options to adopt for trapper education. ► Require all persons who purchased their first Idaho trapping license on or after July 1, 2011 to take mandatory trapper education. This option is designed to provide training to all the newer trappers that recently took up trapping when the fur prices peaked. ► Require all persons who purchased their first Idaho trapping license on or after July 1, 2017 to take mandatory trapper education. This option is designed to only train first time trappers who have never purchased a trapping license and “grandfather-in” all persons who have previously purchased a license in Idaho or other states. Comments will be collected through June 27. All comments will be summarized and presented to the Idaho Fish and Game Commission for their consideration. fishandgame.idaho.gov/content/public-involvement.

Transfer Controlled Hunt Tags to Children
To enhance youth hunting opportunity and experience, holders of a controlled hunt tag for big game or a turkey controlled hunt permit are reminded that they may transfer their tag or permit to their child or grandchild. The Fish and Game Commission adopted rules in 2012 that allow a person to transfer their controlled hunt tag to their child or grandchild under the age of 18 who is qualified to participate in the hunt. New rules approved in 2016 clarified the once-in-a-lifetime harvest eligibility. A form must be used to designate the tag, which can only be done at a Fish and Game office, in person or by mail.
Tag transfer requirements include:
► The child or grandchild may be designated only one
controlled hunt tag per species per calendar year. ► The transfer must be made before the opening date of the hunt. ► Resident adults can only transfer to their resident child or grandchild; and nonresident adults can only transfer to their nonresident child or grandchild. ► The once-in-a-lifetime eligibility applies to the child or grandchild if they harvest. For example, if an adult designates his or her antlered moose, antlerless moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, California bighorn, or Mountain goat tag to their child, and the child harvests using that tag, the child has fulfilled the child’s once-ina-lifetime eligibility and will no longer be eligible to apply for that species. ► Controlled hunt tags or permits cannot be sold. For more information or to receive a copy of the tag transfer form, contact a Fish and Game regional office or visit the Licensing page on Fish and Game’s website at https:// idfg.idaho.gov/license/controlled-hunt-tag-transfer.
