3D Printing at Richfield Library
The Richfield District Library is taking the lead in bringing technology and training to Idaho communities. The library director, Clay Ritter, is also the director at the Shoshone Public Library. Clay has participated in two “Make It” trainings provided by the Idaho Commission for Libraries on behalf of the libraries and is bringing the skills he learned to library patrons in Richfield and Shoshone. By appointment, Clay helps patrons of all ages learn to use the 3D printer at either library. “I printed a dirt bike,” said 10 year old Dominic Gross with wide eyes. Other patrons have printed cell phone cases, guitar picks, a camera lens hood and keychains. The 3D printer is available for patrons
to print out objects they have created or downloaded from “Thingiverse” on a first come, first serve basis. Patrons of the library also have the opportunity to participate in “Summer of Code,” a program powered by the Khan Academy and funded by the J.A. and
Kathryn Albertson Family Foundation. Each Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. students in grades 2-12 can learn an introduction to coding via Khan Academy’s “Intro to JavaScript” course at the Richfield Library District. No RSVP is required.

The Courier News ~ 888-934-1862 Leave It Better Than You Found It Make litter pick-up part of your outdoor experience
With camping and fishing season in full swing and many people enjoying Idaho’s outdoors, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game encourages all outdoor enthusiasts to make litter pick-up part of their outdoor routine. “Not only is it the right thing to do, but it demonstrates respect and commitment to outdoor ethics and conservation,” said Joe DuPont, Fish and Game fisheries manager of Lewiston. “Respectful people preserve the places they enjoy, so why not leave it better than you found it?” Picking up that soda can, cigarette butt, or discarded fishing line left by others will not only help clean up the outdoors, but traditions will be enriched as future generations learn by example to be good stewards of the land. Youth learn very quickly from their parents to either be good caretakers - a positive role model for hunting and fishing, or disrespectful slobs. While the vast majority of outdoor enthusiasts are good about taking their trash with them, unfortunately it only takes a few leaving their mess to ruin an area for the rest. Littering is the most common reason why landowners don’t allow access on or through their property. “Some very popular stretches along the little Salmon River may be closed to access next year because the landowners are just not going to put up with the litter problem anymore,” said DuPont. That means everyone may pay the price of lost access forever because of the disrespectful actions of a few. Leaving trash is not unique to fishing and hunting areas, but one that plagues all areas - along roadways, hiking trails, campgrounds, vehicle pullout areas – basically anywhere people go outdoors. The illegal dumping of trash and vandalism of facilities at Fish and Game’s access sites are also common problems. These areas are maintained for the benefit of recreating public and are paid for with funding from hunters and anglers. “Repairing and replacing damaged items and disposing of discarded trash is very time consuming and expensive,” said Dennis Hardy, recreation site foreman for Fish and Game in Nampa. “The money could be better spent providing a new boat ramp, an ADA toilet or fishing pier.” Fish and Game encourages the public to report vandalism they observe or people who litter by calling any local law enforcement agency as soon as possible. Write down a vehicle license plate number, physical description of the violator and their vehicle, and note the location, day and time of the activity. Keeping the outdoors clean comes down to people showing respect and being responsible. “I’m always happy when I see folks cleaning up at our access areas and along the roads,” said Hardy. “Their efforts show that people do care.”

Oliver James Ritchie
Oliver James Ritchie, “Rich,” 87, a resident of Hagerman, was born September 17, 1928, in Ririe, Idaho. He passed away at home with his best friend and beloved brother, wife, and children by his side on May 22, 2016. He was preceded in death by his son, Bradley James and a brother, William. He is survived by his wife, Elaine; his brother Harold, “Rich 1,” sister, Ivy; three children, Kerry Ritchie-Campbell, Gaelene Ritchie-Mueller and Robert Clint Ritchie; two sons-in-law, Mark Mueller and Don Campbell; one daughter-in-law, Christi Ritchie; eight grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren. Oliver graduated from Rigby High School. Tribute goes to the Wayne Tibbetts’ family of Lorenzo, who kept him working and fed so that he could pay his way to stay and finish high school. The skills learned from ranching, farming, hunting and lifeguarding laid the foundation for his adult life. Oliver and Elaine Krupp married in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple September 12, 1950. He once shared he first laid eyes on Elaine at a church dance when she was in the seventh grade and knew she was the one. They both loved to dance, thus “stepped together” through sixty-six years of marriage. They resided in Idaho Falls for twenty-two years raising four children. Rich drove truck for Ross McCowen and Cowboy Oil for more than ten years before he found his true calling, agriculture. After years as a partner of Foster and Associates out of the Osgood area, Rich expanded and seized the opportunity to move to the burgeoning Bell Rapids Project west of Hagerman. He eventually went solo. Ritchie Farms and Sons was established in 1974. Agriculture was a passion and it treated him well. His hard work was professionally recognized in the feature article and cover photo of Potato Growers of Idaho, December 1979. Rich served on the Directors’ Board of Potato Growers of Idaho for two terms and was awarded Grower of the Year in 1989. Most cherished of those years were the planning and working alongside his sons, plus the many employees who became friends and family throughout the years of many harvests.
Rich retired in 1993 from the Bell to “farm” the Ritchie residence and devote full time care to his wife, Elaine. Rich loved the outdoors. His cathedral was the mountains. Alongside his brother, Rich 1, a favorite escape was Copper Basin in the Pioneers. Horses were a passion starting in his early twenties. Hunting large game, photography and fishing were pleasures enjoyed with many friends and family. In these later years, 4-wheeling with his local buddies, Bob and Kenny, became a fading highlight. But, always, always, a true simple pleasure was a drive along the fields or the river with his girl, Elaine, riding shot-gun. A heartfelt note of love, admiration and gratitude to Harold, Rich 1, for a lifetime of unwavering support, love and kinship. There could never be a better brother. Deep love and gratitude to Gloria Pawson, her family and Kathy Raybourn. They are true angels. Their gentle care, unwavering devotion, good cooking and sincere friendship to Mom and Dad made it possible for them to have a quality of life together in the comfort of their home. In honor of Rich’s request, no public services will be held. Arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel. Condolences and memories may be shared with the family by visiting the obituary link at www.demarayfuneralservice.com.

The Pokey Truth about Canada Thistle By: The Camas Bug Crew
This is not the kind of plant you want growing in your back yard where your children play. This plant has pokey thorns on it that extend from its leaves. Canada thistle is an invasive plant that will take over your garden if not taken care of properly. Canada thistle is an aggressive, colony-forming perennial weed that reproduces by seed and deep, extensive horizontal roots. Flowering occurs from June through August. The flowers are urn-shaped, purple (sometimes white), and male and female flowers occur on separate plants with heads ranging from two and a half to three and a forth inch in diameter. Fruits are about one eighth inch long and brownish with a tuft of hairs at the top. Stems are typically one to four feet tall with alternate, oblong or lance-shaped leaves divided into spiny-tipped irregular lobes. Canada thistle is a native of southeastern Eurasia and was introduced to Canada as a contaminant of crop seed in the 18th century. It can commonly be found in gardens, flower beds, pastures, cultivated fields, range lands, forests, and along river banks, ditches and road sides. Canada thistle can tolerate a wide range of competitive crops and, in heavy concentrations. How do we get rid of this weed you ask? The bug crew has the answer. Hydroplontus litura, or the Canada thistle stem weevil, is a biological control agent that attacks Canada thistle by larval feeding within the stem, opening damage from other organisms such as opportunistic pathogens. The adults also feed on the plant foliage in the early spring, although their effect on the plant is limited. Adult weevils are 3-4 mm long with whitish hairs and a pronounced white T-shaped marking on their back. They overwinter as adults and can typically be found in the field from August until June. Females deposit eggs from March until mid-May, while the plants are still less than 5 cm tall. Each female lays an average of 120 eggs targeting smaller shoots for oviposition. The larvae mine the tissues of the
June 22, 2016
leaf toward the main vein. Older larvae mine the stem and root crown. Pupation occurs in the soil surrounding the plant and generally last two to three weeks. For redistribution, adults can be collected in the early spring with forceps, fingers, an aspirator, or a modified vacuum. When releasing the insects at a new location, it is best to release the adults over young plant material similar in size to the plants where the weevil was originally collected. If you have seen this plant in an area that will be free from grazing, mowing, cultivating or spraying, this just might be an area where our bugs can get established. Please call us if you know of such a place by calling 316-0355. Thank you for helping us fight noxious weeds in Camas County.

Press Release from Northwest Farm Credit Services
Spokane, Wash. (June 15, 2016) – More than 12 cents of every $1 generated and 1 job in 10 are attributed to the agriculture, forestry and fisheries industries in the fivestate region of the Northwest – Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington. This comes from a study recently commissioned by Northwest Farm Credit Services and conducted by Oregon State University Extension Service Rural Studies Program and the University of Idaho Extension Service. “Farm Credit has been supporting Northwest agriculture and forestry producers for a century, and fisheries since the ’70s,” said Phil DiPofi, Northwest FCS President and CEO. “We knew intuitively how vital these industries are to the Northwest, and wanted to quantify their contributions to the regional economy. This study affirms the significant impact producers have on the financial strength of our region.” The study concludes that the total economic impact of the ag, forestry and fisheries segments comprise more than 885,900 jobs and nearly $176.1 billion in sales. Of this impact, 68.2 percent comes from agriculture, representing 7.5 percent of all jobs in the region and 8.3 percent of total sales. Forestry follows at 23.8 percent of the impact, with 2.3 percent of all jobs and 2.9 percent of total sales in the region; and fisheries at 7.9 percent of the impact represents 0.9 percent of sales and 1 percent of jobs in the region. Exports (either to other countries or other states outside the region) from these segments are worth $67.4 billion. About Northwest Farm Credit Services Northwest FCS is a $10.3 billion financial cooperative providing financing and related services to farmers, ranchers, agribusinesses, commercial fishermen, timber producers, rural homeowners and crop insurance customers in Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington and Alaska. Northwest FCS is a member of the nationwide Farm Credit System that supports agriculture and rural communities with reliable, consistent credit and financial services.
