Gooding Commissioners To Hold Public Hearings
Summerfest at Soldier Mountain June 29th Starting at Noon
Next Monday, June 24, 2013, beginning at 4:30 p.m., the Gooding County Commissioners will be hold several public hearings dealing with land use within Gooding County. First on the list is the Amended Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map. Most of the proposed changes to the zoning ordinance are to clairify the language. For example: in Chapter 5, designations on the land use schedule of regulations have been changed. “Permitted (P)” use has been changed to “Allowed (A)” use to avoid confusion with uses that require a permit. One specific change in this section is an increase in the set back from natural waterways. The old requirement was 35 feet and the new requirement will be 50 feet. Another specific change is the Animal Equivalency table. In the old ordinance this was addressed under definitions. In the new ordinance the table has been moved to Appendix A. Changes in the new table include making animal units of dairy cattle based on weight rather than age. Another change is with non-specified animals where the old animal unit was 350 pounds and the new animal unit will be 1000 pounds. (Anything over 70 animal equivalency units is considered a CAFO and must meet those regulations.) The commissioners will also consider ordinances affecting the Wendell Area of City Impact. Under the new ordinances, the county specifically retains jurisdiction over land within the impact area, but the
Soldier Mountain is hosting a concert on the 29th of June to help promote their educational programs. Last fall a Magic Carpet was installed to make it easier for beginners to take their first steps towards a lifetime sport.

As a fundraiser for future projects to improve educational programs, you invited come and enjoy a full day of music and family friendly entertainment on June 29th.

Doors will open at 11 a.m. Advance tickets (until June 22) are $20. Tickets at the door will be $25. Kids under 12 FREE!

UPDATE: Shoshone Junction Reconstruction Moved to July 8th One project down and one more to go for the U.S. 93/U.S. 26 junction. But road work that was to immediately follow improvements to the railroad crossing will be delayed until after the Fourth of July holiday weekend, the Idaho Transportation Department announced. Traffic was detoured for a week as the Union Pacific Railroad rebuilt the crossing of its tracks in the center of Shoshone. Work to improve the adjoining roadway and surrounding sidewalks was to immediately follow, beginning Monday. To better accommodate the increased traffic expected throughout the week surrounding the Fourth of July, the contractor chose to wait to begin work until July 8. The project will involve a reconstruction of the roadway throughout the junction on both the north and south sides of the railroad crossing. Traffic will still be impacted with lane restrictions, but there will be no detour. Work is expected to be completed by the end of August. ------------------------------------
Lane & Speed Restrictions on I-84 near Wendell Drivers should expect speed reductions and loose gravel along Interstate 84 west of Wendell for about a week during a seal coat beginning Monday (June 17), the Idaho Transportation Department announced. Work is expected to be complete by June 22. The seal-coat project will limit traffic to one lane in each direction from milepost 149 (about six miles west of Wendell) through the South Wendell/Idaho 46 Interchange (Exit 157). The contractor will reduce traffic to one lane in each direction, completing the inside lanes followed by the outside lanes in each direction. Crews will finish by seal coating the on- and off-ramps at both Wendell interchanges (Exits 155 and 157).

Cup of Tee
Last week my letter was about a “Cup of Identi-Tee”. This week is a continuation from last week, so I guess it is double identi-tee. On of the Camas Courier readers wanted to know if Tee was a pen name I used for the paper. I stated that it was a “pinned” name - that I am. I have been writing a letter to the Courier since 2006. Everyone has a story to tell and the column, in as much, is my story, whether it has some seriousness, humor, or if I’m still trying to adjust to the price of gasoline. I started out as a liason to give the people of Camas County a link with the Super Outfitter’s wagon train. During one particular wagon train I intoduced myself as Tee Hurd, Jim Super’s assistant. One lady suggested that I change my name because she couldn’t remember Tee. I was caught of guard and told her I started as Tee and I would finish as Tee. If I changed my name to Joe, a “Cup of Joe” would work. If I changed my name to Bill, a “Cup of Bill” doesn’t fit. I have too many reasons to list for writing a “Cup of Tee” each week. For those who know me in Fairfield, Idaho, I sometimes eat my dessert first. I also like ketchup on one side of my hamburger and mustard on the other. Thanks, Gals at the Wrangler Drive-in, for making my hamburger my way. Sometimes something as small as being personal goes a long ways. (Oh yes, Linda, love those homemade cookies.) I don’t swim, skate, or dance. It seems like two right handed shoes and one of those on the left foot doesn’t help any of those endeavors. I spell “potatoe” with an “e” on the end because that is how I learned it as a kid. (Don’t worry, past Vice-President, Dan Quayle, all is not lost.) Through my years of employment I have worked in agriculture, retail, and the lumbering business. In fact, I have hauled the lumber to many of your home here in Fairfield, Idaho. The only way I learned my first aid years ago was to become an instructor in the class. If the same is said about learning stewardship of the land, I am an instructor for the Living on the Land class sponsored by the Extention Office of the Univerisity of Idaho. What do I want to do when I grow up? Good question. I still don’t have the exact answer, like everyone else. Maybe I could hope to grow up to be what one of my friends want to do. He wants to be a lottery winner. I am happy to be a winner by having friends, readers, and some health. What do I expect to do for the rest of my life? Hopefully, I will continue to learn. Learning is vital proccess of life. I’m not the greatest one for change (in fact, this letter was originally written with a pencil). I guess the rest is the have some health, humor, and maybe a purpose to be driven. This is a little more or less to “who is Tee Hurd” reflecting my “Cup of Tee” not sugar coated.

D EATH & S ERVICE N OTICES “Sweet Tooth” by Ian McEvan This is supposed to be a spy novel, code name Sweet Tooth written in the first person by a beautiful young woman. As I read along (using a dictionary for words like porphyry, solipsism and such that abound throughout), struggling through her dull childhood, through her college life, I kept flipping to the jacket photo of the author thinking that knucklehead should not try to write from a woman’s viewpoint because it just did not ring true even though the book was beginning to smack of a schmaltzy romance. Then it developed a manly porn twist that I just wasn’t buying. Women don’t think like that. And then there’s the spy element which was so secret that it seemed to be missing entirely. Sweet Tooth is a secret British government program that funds writers who are free to write and publish as they wish. Here in America we call that program Public Libraries. Now comes the double cross, and the last part of the book explains in great detail how not just the characters have been duped, but the reader has been duped as well. Which proves what I’ve always known – those sneaky Brits are not to be trusted.

Survivors Are The Reason We Walk! A cancer survivor is anyone who has ever heard the words “you have cancer.” All Gooding County cancer survivors are guests of honor at the 1st Annual Gooding Relay For Life the evening of July 26, 2013 at the Gooding County Fairgrounds. The evening will begin with a registration process at 4 p.m. followed by a free dinner reception for cancer survivors and their individual caregiver. Each survivor will receive a special T-shirt at the dinner. There will be a brief ceremony with State Representative Steve Miller as guest speaker. Cancer survivors are living proof that cancer can be defeated. The Gooding Relay for Life will then begin with a Survivors Lap, where survivors lead the way around the track while being honored and applauded by all participants. Being a part of the Survivors Lap allows survivors to celebrate what they’ve overcome, while at the same time inspiring and motivating their community to fight. This is a great way for people to meet other cancer survivors in their own community. If you would like to participate in this year’s Survivors Lap or other activities, PLEASE SIGN UP TODAY. We will need all cancer survivors to fill out a brief Survivor Card which includes the T-shirt size you will receive. We will be ordering the T-shirts around July 1, 2013 so that we have them in time for the Relay event on July 26th. Please contact either Susan Bolton at sbolton@landtitleandescrow.com or 934-8477 or Survivor Chairperson Cody Varin at 934-5963.

Noxious Weed Alert: Hoary Cress If you have what appears to be an outgrowth of pretty white flowers that look like attractive ground cover vegetation growing on your property, you might want to think again. State noxious weed officials say chances are way better than average that what you are actually seeing is an infestation of a particularly bad invasive, noxious weed known as Hoary Cress, which goes by its common name of Whitetop. “Whitetop is generally the first noxious weed that we attack in the spring. The plant has spreading roots that get into lawns, pastures, roadways, and garden areas. Because it develops very thick canopies and absorbs a lot of water and nutrients, it does a great job of choking out native vegetation,” said Roger Batt, Idaho Weed Awareness Campaign coordinator. Hoary Cress, one of 66 noxious weeds listed in Idaho, typically grows up to 2 feet tall. Multiple branches grow off of the root system with white flowers at the end of each branch. The weed not only can produce by seed, but has an integrated root system that allows it to creep vertically and laterally into unwanted places. The leaves of this invasive plant are light green with a distinctive white midvein. “Depending upon which control method is used, controlling and eradicating Whitetop can be very simple or very discouraging. Mechanical control such as disking or plowing is not very effective. Most folks find that the weed simply comes back with a vengeance in a few weeks. Hand pulling small patches of this weed can be effective, but a majority of the roots need to be pulled with the plant and placed into a garbage bag. The best control method for Whitetop is to employ certain herbicides. These herbicide recommendations can be found on our website at http://www.idahoweedawareness.com/ under “Weed Control.” It is important to note than when using an herbicide, always follow the label and safety instructions on that herbicide label,” Batt added. Invasive weeds have already infested 8 million acres of Idaho’s lands and pose a serious threat to Idaho’s economy, ecology and agriculture, causing an estimated $300 million annually in direct damages. State and private landowners annually spend upwards of $30 million to combat noxious weeds. But even with that level of effort, thousands of acres of land are compromised every day by one or more of the 66 varieties of noxious weeds known to have infested the state. A vast collection about how to identify Idaho’s 66 noxious weeds plus details about the best strategies to get rid of them is available on the Idaho Weed Awareness Campaign’s website at: http:// www.idahoweedawareness.com/. Idahoans can also contact their County Weed Superintendent or a private applicator for technical assistance in dealing with noxious weeds.
