Share Your Heart at Camp Rainbow Gold
For 19 years, Camp Rainbow Gold has hosted a single, extravagant fundraising event to celebrate families, doctors, nurses, volunteers and friends who stand alongside and lift up Idaho’s children diagnosed with cancer. In lieu of a traditional gala this year, Camp Rainbow Gold is creating a new way to Share Your Heart for Idaho’s children. The Share Your Heart celebration on Saturday, June 26 will be an open-house format, welcoming guests any time from 1 to 6 p.m. Be the first to tour Camp’s new property, Hidden Paradise in Fairfield, Idaho. Enjoy light food and beverages, and music – and commemorate this incredible Camp Rainbow Gold milestone. Guests can also personally add life, fun, and COLOR to a new Field of Love art installation at the property. Donations made to “Buy a Heart” will host heart-shaped artwork pieced together to create an incredible, colorful installation that will welcome campers to Hidden Paradise in July and show them how much they are loved. Help Camp Rainbow Gold reach their goal of 2,000 hearts before camp starts! The majority of the event will be hosted outdoors, guests are advised to dress accordingly and wear close-toed, comfortable walking shoes. As a medical organization, the event will still be practicing social distancing and limiting capacity on indoor portions of the tour. Masks will be required indoors. Camp Rainbow Gold CEO/Executive Director Elizabeth Lizberg shared, “Despite the circumstances of this past year, Camp Rainbow Gold is committed to its mission. We have found strength and light in our entire community and are dedicated to forging ahead to create unforgettable programs for our campers in 2021.

The Dark Side of White Top
by the Camas Bug Crew White usually denotes virtue and goodness, but in the case of noxious weeds a good share of our weeds have white blossoms. White Top is no exception; one can see the weed all over the Camas Prairie boldly rise up above the native foliage, trying desperately to out-compete the other vegetation. In our area it seems to seek out waterways and anywhere that has nearby standing water. This is probably due to its aggressive root growth tendencies. White-top is perennial mustard that reproduces both vegetatively and by seed. This deep- rooted, creeping plant can grow 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 labeled as “noxious” in at least 24 states. Leaves are grayish-green, lanceshaped, clasping, and up to 10 cm long. Flowers are white 0.5 across and bloom from April to May. The conspicuous dense flower clusters flat topped early in the season, but this characteristic disappears as the stem enlongates. cont. page 2...

Cup of Tee
© The other day while raking a couple of rows of hay together to bale, I saw four badgers running in a group along the unraked row next to me. Two would stop and growl and claw the ground next to the tractor. Then the other two would do the same. Didn't they realize I wasn't going to stop and let them jump up on the tractor with me? I don't think they were looking for a job in hay harvesting. I was on a mission to get some hay raked. A family of badgers is called a Cete (or sometimes a colony). One doesn't come up to a group of badgers and say to their faces, "So, are you guys a family? Are you related? You resemble each other." They don't like you talking smack in their face. In fact, they get on the offensive very quickly - they have quick tempers. Do you wonder why you see some many badgers this time of year? A badger usually leaves the family (cete) when they are around 6 months old. At this time they are exploring on their own and looking for mates. Many are killed by vehicles as they cross the road. They can run between 16 to 20 miles an hour, but that doesn't match the 55 to 80 mph car speed.

If you think you can outdig a badger... rethink! They can dig about 12-15 miles per hour. Their claws are long and sharp. They can actually dig through concrete if threatened. Badgers are also good swimmers and climbers. A den is usually from 4 to 6 feet wide. Sometimes several dens are connected by tunnels. Dens are usually clean as badgers have separate rooms for restroom duties and they don't usually bring food into their dens. A badger's weight is 17-25 pounds and their length is from 20 to 35 inches (one third the size of Danny DeVito). The main menu is gophers, ground squirrels, grass hoppers, and snakes. Their sense of smell is very keen, only second to members of the dog family. Badger occur primarily in grasslands, parklands, farms, and other treeless areas with a good supply of rodents. They are also found in forest glades, hot deserts and mountain meadows. They are ferocious but don't normally attack humans unless protecting young. If you see a badger, he may not be looking for a job, or like you to say bad things to his face. This is my “Cup of Tee” on the night not badgering you.

Lisa Grissom
News@Highway46.org
Serving with all Gentleness & Compassion...
obit ua r ies
Our beloved Lisa Marie Grissom was called home to our Lord on June 10, 2021, at St. Luke’s Medical Center in Twin Falls. Lisa was born October 28, 1962 in Gooding, Idaho to Virgil and Betty Jensen. She attended Gooding High School and after graduating became a student at Mr. Juan’s School of Cosmetology, where she earned her cosmetology license. After meeting Dean Grissom, they welcomed their first child, Megan, in April of 1986 and married three years later on June 24, 1989. In July of 1994 they welcomed their second daughter, Marisa. Lisa and Dean later divorced but stayed committed to each other until her passing. Lisa put her talents to work opening her own salon, Shear Excellence, in Shoshone, Idaho. She loved her clients like family and never could say no when her daughters wanted to try a crazy new hair color. She was a gifted beautician that put her heart into work. In her free time Lisa loved camping, gardening and crafting and always had the most beautiful flower beds and flourishing gardens. She spent hours at a time tending to her plants and her sunflowers could be seen growing far above the fence line. Her daughters will always remember sun brewed tea and watching for humming birds as they soaked in the summer sun. Lisa was truly loved and will never know the magnitude of her beauty. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends. Love ones that cleared the path for Lisa are her father Virgil Jensen; Brother - Doug Jensen; and Mother - Betty Lou Wheeler. She leaves to cherish her memory: Dean Grissom; Daughter - Megan (Josh) Hettenbach, Daughter - Marisa Garcia; Grandchildren - Amara Dains, Hadrea Dains, Surf Hettenbach, Isaiah Garcia, Swayzee Hettenbach and Meilani Garcia; Sister - Nancy (Phil) Williams, Sister - Barbara (Joe) Jensen; Nephew - Jeff Huber and Niece - Becky Huber. A family graveside inurnment will be held on Tuesday, June 22, 2021 at 10:00 am at the Elmwood Cemetery in Gooding. Cremation arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel.
Dean Watterson
Our dad, Dean Watterson, 79 years of age, a resident of Hagerman, Idaho passed away peacefully at his home on June 9, 2021. Dean was born on February 25, 1942 in Burley, Idaho. He was the son of Rex Wesley and Mary Virginia Watterson. He was raised on the family farm south of Burley where he first learned to work hard. Once his father passed away in 1962, he and his older brother Larry kept the family farm thriving to help support his mother and younger siblings. Dean married Gai Sue Taylor and together they raised 4 children (Deana, Nanci, Wes, and Bob). Dad was always a hard worker and instilled that in all his children. He and our mother successfully ran a land-leveling company and a family farm together. He taught us how to work hard and play hard. You could always find one of us kids riding with dad in the scraper, helping him while he surveyed, setting siphon tubes, following him from one job site to another (long before we had drivers’ licenses and could barely see over the steering wheel). Let’s just say drivers ed wasn’t really necessary for any of us kids, we had it down. Our dad was always very independent and went where his work led him. He worked in Perris, CA., Lake Havasu City, AZ., Battle Mountain, NV., Reedley, CA., Kemmerer, WY., Sidney, MT., and many more that we may not remember. Dad’s legacy as a heavy equipment operator continues to live on as Wes and Bob work in the trade today. Dad was also married to Blenda Farwell. While married to Blenda, they lived in Reedley, CA, near his daughter Deana and her family in Fresno. Dad played as hard as he worked. We grew up riding snow mobiles, motorcycles, racing cars…. anything that had a motor and went fast we had. Some of our fondest memories were riding snow mobiles from Stanley to Yellow Pine. We also spent a whole lot of time at drag strips and motocross tracks. He introduced a love of motor sports to the point that all his grandsons participate in the sports today. Dad always knew of a shortcut, which sometimes took us 3 times as long. But we got to see some beautiful backcountry on those short cuts. Another one of our memories was a yearly trip to Astoria, OR. to go deep sea salmon fishing. (Deana actually only went once because she spent all of her time feeding the fish rather than catching any fish). Our dad was a generous man and was always there for us kids. We knew that dad was ever only a phone call away and would drop anything and everything to be there to help no matter how near or far we were. We were our dad’s whole world and he made it known. We’ll greatly miss his phone calls and unexpected visits. He is survived by his siblings Lynn (Paula) Watterson, Linda (Dwaine) Baker, and Mary (Ronnie) Baker. His previous wife, Gai Sue Taylor. His children Deana (David) Clayton, Nanci Uli, Wes (Tracy) Watterson, and Bob (Chris) Watterson. His grandchildren Maia (Jess) Uli Bradshaw, Josh (Ruby) Clayton, Ann-Marie (Brian) Johnson, Colter (Daryn) Watterson, Taylor (Scott) Freund, Cameron Uli, Austin Watterson, Kolby Watterson, and Tyler Watterson. His great-grandchildren Mary Jane and Lee Johnson and one great-grandson on the way. He is preceded in death by his parents, Rex and Virginia Watterson. His siblings, Larry Watterson, Reed Watterson, and Colleen Gillette. Graveside service was held on Monday, June 14, 2021, at the Hagerman Cemetery. Services under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service.

New Federal Dollars for Idaho Cities
Press Release Governor Brad Little and State Controller Brandon Woolf announced today Idaho cities with populations below 50,000 will start receiving their share of $54 million from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). Governor Little and the Idaho Legislature unanimously accepted the federal funds, which will be used by local government in Idaho to respond to COVID-19 or invest in water, sewer, or broadband infrastructure. “From the start, I emphasized the need to direct the billions of dollars allocated for Idaho from the American Rescue Plan Act into long-range investments that will benefit our children and grandchildren. The funds going to cities starting today add to the significant investments we’ve already made in infrastructure to support the next generation of Idahoans,” Governor Little said. “I urge cities to leverage these dollars for investments that will reduce the property tax burden that Idahoans will face in the future.” The $54 million distribution is just the first tranche of funds that will be distributed to Idaho cities. Another round of $54 million will be distributed to cities next year. At the request of the Idaho Legislature and Governor Little, the State Controller's Office has delivered an easy-to-use portal for all Non-Entitlement Units of Local Government (NEU) to receive the Local Fiscal Recovery Funds. An NEU is any city in the State of Idaho with a population less than 50,000 that is not otherwise receiving direct funding from the U.S. Treasury. “The State of Idaho was better prepared to receive, distribute, and report on CARES Act funding thanks to the robust Transparent Idaho portal,” State Controller Woolf said. “I am proud to expand Transparent Idaho’s functionality to funnel ARPA funding to cities across our great state.” Unlike coronavirus relief funding utilized in CARES Act grants, the State of Idaho is not the primary recipient of this funding and will not be reviewing expenses for eligibility, but rather act as a pass-through entity for distribution purposes only. The State Controller’s Office will work with NEUs to provide an expedient distribution. If an entity is interested in receiving funding and has not previously registered to receive CARES Act funding, it will be required to register to receive ARPA funds. To complete an entity registration, visit the ARPA portal at Transparent.Idaho.Gov Once an entity has registered to receive funding, it will be required to complete a request for funding. If an entity has any issues registering or requesting funding they are encouraged to call the Idaho State Controller’s Office at 208-334-3100 for assistance over the phone.
