Fish Salvage on Big Wood River and Richfield Canal Sawtooth National Forest

By Terry Thompson, Regional Communications Manager

The Big Wood Canal Company closed the gates in Magic Dam on June 10th. This will lead to substantial flow reductions or cessation of flow, functionally de-watering the Big Wood River below the dam and the Richfield Canal. The gates are closing significantly earlier than normal due to ongoing regional drought conditions in the Big Wood River basin. Effective June 10, 2021 Fish and Game has ordered that bag and possession limits be removed on portions of the Big Wood River below the dam. The boundaries of the fish salvage are from a point beginning at the railroad trestle, approximately 1.25 miles downstream of the dam, extending to the State Highway 75 Bridge. The order also includes the Richfield Canal from the upstream point of diversion from the Big Wood River to its confluence with the Little Wood River near Richfield, Idaho. Anglers are reminded that some areas of the Richfield Canal may be on private property so permission must be obtained from the landowner prior to fishing in these areas. A valid 2021 fishing license is required to salvage fish. Fish may be taken by any method, except by firearms, chemicals or electric current. If you have questions contact the Magic Valley Regional Office at (208) 324-4359.

Idaho Cattle Association Offers Reward For Cattle

The Idaho Cattle Association is looking for information regarding the shooting of two cattle owned by an ICA member.

Any information regarding suspicious activity and/or observations that lead to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) involved will be greatly appreciated and potentially will receive a $1000 reward. If you have any information regarding this incident, please report it to one of the following entities: 1. The Local Sheriff Department – Gooding County Sheriff Department: (208) 934-4422 2. Idaho State Police: (208) 884-7300 see page 5..... For more information. visit ICA’s website at www.idahocattle.org, email info@idahocattle. org, or contact the ICA office at (208) 343-1615.

High Fire Danger

Due to prolonged dry weather conditions fire danger across southern Idaho has continued to increase. All of the Sawtooth National Forest is now in High Fire Danger. High fire danger means all fine dead fuels ignite readily and fires start easily. Unattended fires are likely to escape. Fires spread rapidly and short-distance spotting is common. High intensity burning may develop on slopes, or in concentrations of fine fuel. Fires may become serious and their control difficult, unless they are quickly suppressed when small. Forest officials are asking the public to be extremely careful when camping and to remember that it’s your job and responsibility to properly maintain and extinguish all campfires. If you are planning a camping, hiking, or a motorized trip please be especially cautious about actions that could cause a wildfire. • Never leave a campfire unattended. Always add water, stir it, and make sure all embers are out. If it’s too hot to touch, it’s too hot to leave! • Always use a campfire ring or fire pan when building a campfire. • Recreational shooting? Take precautions! Never shoot into dry vegetation and always make sure you’re shooting in a safe location. Be aware that shooting of exploding targets is not allowed on National Forest System lands in the Intermountain Region. • Refrain from smoking in wooded, grassy, or brushy areas. Make sure your cigarette is fully extinguished before leaving the area. • Fireworks are illegal on public lands: every forest, every campsite, every day. Never light fireworks in the woods. • Ensure you vehicle is properly maintained, with nothing dragging on the ground. A loose safety chain or dangling muffler can send a shower of sparks into dry vegetation. • Keep vehicles off dry grass. The catalytic converter may contact the vegetation and start a fire. • Always carry a shovel and fire extinguisher. • Know before you go. Always check with your local Ranger Station prior to your trip to get the... continued on page 11...

Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor:

The Camas County Republican Central Committee recently met, in response to public inquiry, to discuss whether the committee should endorse recommending that either or both Camas County and the village of Fairfield should become official "Firearms Sanctuary Communities." Members of our central committee did a lot of research into what other areas, locally and nationally, have considered and done about this problem. We had an extensive conversation and here is what we came up with. The individual right to bear arms is older than our country. The fight over it is the proximate cause of the Revolutionary War beginning when the British tried to disarm the patriots at Lexington and Concord. The right to bear arms is written into the Idaho Constitution, as in most States, and into the US Constitution. If one thinks about it, the right to bear arms includes not having that freedom mitigated by things like denoting classes of arms or withholding ammunition or reloading supplies. As was written into the 2nd Amendment, the word "infringed" means ... don't tinker with me (and don't tinker with my supplies.) The 2nd Amendment was not a grant of freedom, because we already had that freedom, but a clear statement to those administrating the new US government not to mess with our God given right to protect ourselves from our enemies, both foreign and domestic. Given what we see from the present Federal Government, do you believe that if the 2nd Amendment was not in the "Bill of Rights" we would have that right? We Republicans fully support, unlike the Democratic administration and the progressive socialists running that party, in the absolute right to the unfettered ability to keep and use arms. Make no mistake it is the Democrats that want gun control, not the Republicans. The Committee stands fast for the right to bear arms, but feels that that right is fully protected by both the State and US Constitutions. Since gun control is a Democratic initiative we feel that if the local people want an arms sanctuary, they should take up the issue with both the City and County administrations since the real problem is not with us, but with a distant Federal Administration and the totalitarian dissidents running the Democratic Party, not to mention some local politicians. If the public wants these sanctuaries, the local Democrats are going to have to step up and speak up!

June Annette McConnell Utz

June Annette McConnell Utz, 71, of Gooding, Idaho died peacefully at home June 8, 2021 with her husband of almost 52 years at her side. June was born on April 27, 1950 in Gooding, Idaho, the daughter of Alvin and Eula McConnell. She was raised in the rural farming community of Tuttle, Idaho along with two dear brothers and a close sister. She held dear many memories on the farm before her family moved to Gooding around 1963. She was also very proud of her class that graduated from Gooding High School in 1968. June attended Idaho State University in Pocatello before returning to Gooding to marry Kerry Lee Utz on August 10, 1969. She worked for a short time at Cook's grocery and then began raising her two sons Aaron (1971) and Brian (1974). Once her sons were raised, June worked for Volco building supply (later renamed Franklin) from 1990 to 2007. From that time, she kept books for Utz Electric until retiring in 2016. June was outgoing, easily made new friends, was strong-willed, and took pleasure in debating controversial topics. She also loved nothing more than annual reunions with her extended family and making new friends while spending winters in southern Arizona. One of her favorite activities was sitting in camp with family and close friends while reminiscing. She also loved a good mystery and testing her ability to figure out whodunnit. She spent weeks preparing for the Christmas season and couldn't wait to spoil her entire family. We will all miss her presence at home, at camp, and at games. June is survived by her husband, Kerry Utz; her son, Aaron Douglas (Darolyn) Utz of Bliss, Idaho; daughter-in-law Tiffany Utz; as well as grandchildren Brylea Cathleen (19), Easton Cole (16), Austyn June (12), and Savanah Lee (8). June is preceded in death by her parents Eula and Alvin McConnell; siblings Bruce, Rex, and Pam; and her son Brian.

Zions Bank Invites Public To Nominate Homes For

Paint-A-Thon Service Project

Zions Bank is inviting the public to nominate homes for its employees to spruce up with a fresh coat of exterior paint during its annual Paint-a-Thon service project. Entering its 30th year, Paint-a-Thon benefits low-income elderly, disabled, and veteran residents in communities across Utah and Idaho. Typically, homes are referred to Zions Bank by city and state housing agencies, aging services, community organizations and local churches. This year, the public is invited to nominate up to 20 of the 41 homes employees will scrape, paint and landscape. To qualify for consideration, homeowners must meet federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) income guidelines, detailed on Zions Bank’s website, Zionsbank.com/paintathon — which includes the link to the nomination form. Nominations are due by July 15, 2021. In addition to painting, Zions employees will provide yard clean-up, pruning, mowing, planting and minor repairs as needed by homeowners. The cost for all paint and supplies is contributed by Zions Bank. “We know older adults cherish the opportunity to remain in their homes as long as possible, so this is our way of helping them accomplish that goal, while at the same time beautifying our neighborhoods,” said Zions Bank President and CEO Scott Anderson. Launched in 1991, Zions Bank’s Paint-a-Thon began as a volunteer project for a dozen homes along Utah’s Wasatch Front. Over the past 30 years, Zions Bank employees have put aside summer pastimes for a week each year - volunteering in the evenings after work and on Saturday - to paint more than 1,000 homes throughout Idaho and Utah. Not counting the dollar value of volunteer hours through the years, the bank has donated more than $1 million toward beautifying homes in the two states.

to be Back

With COVID-19 hopefully in the rearview, it is time to get back to work. The Camas bug crew just finished their spring training and are ready for a whole summer of work in the field. For those of you not familiar with the bug crew, we are a student employee group dedicated to ridding Camas County of noxious weeds. Every noxious weed has an insect predator. Our goal is to introduce these insects to their target weed but first, let’s meet these weed warriors, who do this amazing work. The Camas crew is all rookies ready to show those weeds who’s boss. In the green corner Rowdy Raymond Velez-Galvin. He is excited to be working outdoors and have a well paying job. Next in the blue corner is Anna “The Goat” Botz. She loves to frump through weeds as she chops of their heads. In the purple corner is the bug releaser Elise (Higbee), when she isn’t in the field releasing bugs on noxious weeds she prefers to take super long naps. In the pink Kenley jo-knows all about bugs and likes to learn about them. In her spare time she likes to ride horses. Our supervisor Eric McHan returns to the Camas prairie for his 14th year. The Camas Bug Crew works closely with the County weed superintendent Terry Lee, The BLM, The forest service, and local CWMA’s. We will be writing weekly articles to educate the public about the weeds we work with and the activities we do.

Lois Jean Brown

Our beautiful, sweet sister – Lois Jean Brown, 78, went to be with our Lord on June 9, 2021 at St. Luke's Medical Center in Twin Falls. Lois was born March 24, 1943 in Nampa, Idaho to Mabel and Percy Brown. She was the youngest of six children – Virginia, Dale, Elaine, Earl and Harvey Lee. She was raised in Gooding, attending school when she was very young in Portland, Oregon and later continued her schooling at Idaho School for the Deaf and Blind, and always expressing her many wonderful memories there. Lois was always a big help to her Momma around the house and loved being with her Daddy when it came to milking her favorite cow or in the field picking rocks! She loved hugs! She never met a stranger, sharing her hugs with everyone, and introducing herself afterwards. Lois grew up in church and loved attending, praising the world around us as we drove there. She loved Jesus and the beautiful old hymns and would share her sweet thoughts often. She had an amazing memory of adventures and remembrances of the past with lots of details. She loved telling her stories with anyone that would listen, which was often! Every plowed field, Fall trees, or especially all flowers were so "PURDY". And every puppy, kitten and calf was "CUNNING". It was always her special way of expression! Lois always bragged on her house plants and was so proud of her Christmas Cactus which bloomed more beautiful than any other, why, because she talked to it daily. She collected stuffed animals, they were her loves, and she made a bed for them every night! Lois loved old westerns, rodeos, puzzles, her coloring books, Costco treats, hummingbirds, Chinese food and all sweets! She never complained. Lois loved life! Lois was the epitome of love and grace! She was so kindhearted to all, innocent as a newborn, she had a constant smile and her laughter was contagious! Lois was truly an earthly Angel living among us. She taught us many life lessons and we have all been blessed with her presence in our lives. Lois is survived by her brothers – Earl and Linda Brown and Dale and Kathy Brown of Gooding; and many cousins, nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents – Percy and Mable; her sisters – Virginia James, Elaine Watkins; her brother – Harvey Lee; and many other beloved family members. We'd like to give thanks to North Canyon and St. Luke's for their medical care and compassion; and to her niece – Branda Falls for her love and devotion for the last six years. A graveside celebration will be held on Wednesday, June 16, 2021 at 11:00 am at the Elmwood Cemetery in Gooding.

Ruth Baysinger Steele

obit ua r ies

Ruth Baysinger Steele, 85, beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, passed from this life into glorious eternal heavenly life, December 30, 2020. Ruth Olive Baysinger was born in Gooding, Idaho, April 30, 1935, to Harry E. and Doris Maurer Baysinger. She attended schools in Gooding, graduating from Gooding High School in 1953. Later in her life, she attended College of the Redwoods, Eureka, California, graduating with an Associate of Arts Degree. Ruth married Kenneth A. Steele in Gooding in 1953. They shared life together for over sixty-three years, until Kenneth’s passing in 2017. She moved with her husband as he served in the US Army and taught in several schools. During the first ten years of their marriage, Ken and Ruth lived in thirteen different locations. In 1964, Ken and Ruth, with their four children, moved to Fortuna, California. Ruth and Kenneth continued to live in the same home in Fortuna for the next fifty-two years. Following the death of her husband, Ruth moved to Twin Falls, Idaho, where she resided with her daughter and son-in-law. Ruth dedicated her life to her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Her faith was shown through the way she loved and served her family and those around her. Ruth was a devoted wife and mother, putting the needs of her family before her own wants and desires. She cherished her times with family, especially treasuring time with grandchildren and great grandchildren. In the course of her life, Ruth enjoyed using her artistic endeavors and gardening to enhance her residence and family life. She took pleasure in caring for an abundance of plants and flowers around and inside her home. Her small business, “Driftwood Dandies,” enabled Ruth to make floral arrangements as well as spend time with new and old friends. Other pursuits Ruth valued included substitute teaching and being a teachers’ assistant, serving as a guardian ad litem, participating in jail and prayer ministries, giving herself to worship and Bible study, and working as a product demonstrator at grocery stores in and near Fortuna, CA. Ruth is survived by her children, Elizabeth McGregor (husband Eugene) of Twin Falls, ID, David Steele of Snohomish, WA, and Russell Steele (wife Anita) of Spring Valley, WI; eight grown grandchildren Stephanie (Josh), Brandon, Daniel (Kat), Chase (Amie), Jared (Jasmine), Michael (Caroline), Matthew, and Melodee; six great grandchildren; and her sister, Carolyn (Jim) Grissom.

Her entire world revolved around him, and she couldn’t have been more proud of the person he is or the man he is growing to be. Misti was a deeply kind soul and one of the most generous people to grace the earth. Although she didn’t have much, what she did have, she graciously shared with others. Misti always had a smile and kind words ready for everyone she encountered, and never met a stranger. Even as her health began to take a toll, Misti never lost her kindness or appreciation for others. She made sure that those who were helping her through the hard times knew how thankful she was. Misti was always making everyone feel appreciated and as though they belonged. She is survived by her son, Jason King of Shoshone; her parents, Steve and Debby (Swainston) King of Shoshone; her sister, Stormi (Patrick) Shippy; four nephews; one niece; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. A graveside memorial service will be held at 11:00 am, Tuesday, June 8, 2021, at the Shoshone Cemetery, Shoshone, Idaho.

City of Gooding, Idaho

2020 Consumer Confidence Report Spanish (Espanol) Este informe contiene informacion muy importante sobre la 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 (SDWA). 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. Immuno-compromised 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 safe 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. continued on page 10...

• 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 Waste - Drains 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. ________________________________________________ Water Quality Data Table 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: Contact Name: Charles L..
