Health Advisory for Mormon Reservoir
A health advisory was issued last Friday for Mormon Reservoir by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the South Central Public Health District (SCPHD). The DEQ responded to a report of a Cyanobacteria bloom on June 14th and subsequent taxonomical analysis has confirmed the presence of a species known to produce toxins. The analysis also estimated a cell count exceeding 1Million cells/mL. An additional visual inspection on June 21st confirmed that the algae are continuing to proliferate. Toxicology results are expected soon. Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, are ubiquitous in our environment but a few species are known to produce toxins that pose a threat to humans and other animals, particularly canines. Based on the taxonomic analysis and visual inspection of Mormon Reservoir, DEQ feels a posting is necessary to caution the public of the danger this Harmful Algae Bloom (HAB) poses.
The public is advised to take the following precautions: • Avoid exposure to water experiencing a harmful algal bloom. Take extra precautions to ensure children, pets, and livestock are not exposed to the water. • Pets that are inadvertently exposed should be washed immediately and thoroughly with fresh water taking care not to allow them to clean themselves after exiting the affected water. • Do not consume water with a blue-green algae bloom. Neither boiling nor disinfecting removes blue-green algae toxins from water. • If fish are known to have been exposed to a blue-green algae bloom, only consume the fillet portion (remove the fat, organs, and skin). Wash hands after handling. The risk associated with consuming fish caught in waters with a blue-green algae bloom is unknown. Toxins produced by blue-green algae can accumulate in the organs of fish. continued on page 3 .....

One Stamp - Two Images
This past week, the United States Postal Service released a first-of-its-kind forever stamp commemorating the solar eclipse coming on August 21st. The Total Eclipse of the Sun Forever stamp is black spot surrounded by sun rays which transforms into an image of the Moon with the heat of a finger. This is the first U.S. stamp to use thermochromic ink that responds to body heat and/or rubbing to reveal a second image. The image reverts back to the original once it cools. If you decide to get a few of these stamps, it is important to know that thermochromic inks are vulnerable to UV light and should be kept out of direct sunlight as much as possible to preserve the special effect. Special envelopes are available to hold and protect these stamps. Individuals have 60 days to obtain first-day-of-issue postmark by mail. Stamps can be purchased at your local Post Office or at usps.com/shop. Affix stamps to an envelope(s), address the envelope(s) to whomever, place in a larger envelope, and mail to USPS Stamp Fulfillment Services. The path of the eclipse runs across Idaho from Weiser to Rexburg. In our area, the Total Eclipse can be seen between Ketchum and Challis, with Stanley right in the middle. In Fairfield the eclipse will be about 99%, while Gooding to Shoshone will at 98%, and Hagerman at 97%.

from a smart phone - but there are still lots of service jobs (restaurants, grocery stores, etc.) that need summer help. So, where are the teenagers that have traditionally filled these jobs? According to a couple of recent articles by the Associated Press and the Wall Street Journal, many of them are taking summer classes to get through high school sooner or to get a headstart in college. Additionally, many students go to college with the intent of never returning to their hometowns, often with the blessing of their parents. This emphasis on academic education over the learning opportunities of real world employment, has resulted in a dramatic decline of teen labor force participation (U.S. Labor Department report on teen employment). And, whether the lack of employment is voluntary or involuntary, teenagers are not learning to work in the real world. Over the last several decades, young employees have earned a reputation for not showing up on time, or sometimes not at all. Some of them don’t need to work, but most simply do not want to work. Employers have taken to hiring older workers for entry-level job because they are more reliable and more likely to be polite to customers. Of course, that’s not the whole story. During the last ten years there has been a significant shift from full-time to part-time employment for adult workers due to the economic downturn. This has push many teens out of jobs. According to researchers at Drexel University, teens accounted for 12% of retail workers in 2001. Today it is just 7%. Teenagers in restaurant and hotel jobs went from 21% to 16%. This is a problem on several levels. In addition to providing on-the-job experience, summer work has proved especially valuable for poor urban youths. Paul Harrington (Drexel’s Center for Labor Markets and Policy) says city teens who participate in summer jobs programs achieve higher school attendance and academic performance, and are less likely to commit crimes. Summer jobs can also lead to bigger things. Patrick Doyle (Domino’s Pizza) earned his first real paycheck as a busboy. Marissa Mayer (Yahoo) started out as a grocery clerk. Warren Buffett (Berkshire Hathaway) started out delivering newspapers on his bicycle for the Omaha WorldHerald at the age of 13. Jeff Bezos (Amazon) created his own first job. While in high school he and a girlfriend started an educational summer camp for fourth, fifth and sixth graders. So, the next time you see a “HELP WANTED” sign, stop and consider the possibilities. It might just be the first step towards something great.

Camas Bug Crew vs. Canada Thistle
1-888-934-1862 • Wednesday, June 28, 2017 • The Courier NEWS
The weeds are coming the weeds are coming! It is officially summer and there is no time to lose. The weeds will soon take over your property and your beautiful gardens. But, today we will only be talking about one of the most ferocious weeds that Idaho has ever encountered, Canada thistle. This weed is fast growing and reproduces quickly. But, do not fear, the Camas Bug Crew is here with our trusty side kick Hydroplontus Litura. Here is some important information about Canada thistle. This weed is an aggressive, colonyforming perennial weed that reproduces by seed. 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 ½ to ¾ inch in diameter. Fruits are about 1/8 inch long and brownish with tufts of hairs at the top. Stems are typically 1 to 4 feet tall with alternate, oblong or lance-shaped leaves divided into spiny-tipped lobes. It can commonly be found in gardens, flower beds, pastures, cultivated fields, rangelands, forests, and along river banks. It is highly competitive with crops and, in heavy concentrations, effectively prevents grazing. The bug we use to destroy this weed is called hydroplontus litura. Let us teach you a little bit about hydroplontus litura. Canada thistle stem mining weevil (CELI): CELI is a biological control agent that attacks Canada thistle stems and rosettes. Adults feed on rosette leaf foliage in spring, and larvae consume issues while mining within the shoots. At low densities, larval and adult feeding does not significantly impact populations of Canada thistle directly. Feeding does not cause serious damage, however, as pathogens and other organisms enter the stems of Canada thistle via holes made by exiting larvae. At high densities, feeding CELI will reduce the vigor of both rosettes and flowering stems to the point of deterioration. Overwintering weevils emerge from soil litter and feed on leaf and stem tissue in early spring. Eggs are laid in spring within Canada thistle’s bolting shoots, with hatching larvae (up to 20) can be found in individual stems. Mature larvae tunnel out of the stems, drop to the soil surface, and pupate in the soil. Adults of the new generation emerge in August and overwinter in soil litter. There is one generation per year. The weevil does best in open but moist areas with scattered Canada thistle plants. Now that you know a little bit about Canada thistle you will be able to spot it. If the infestation area is big enough, it may be a good site for biological control. The weed site needs to have the following requirements; it must not be grazed, mowed, cultivated, sprayed, or any other major disturbances so our bugs can do their work. If you have such a spot, you can call the Bug Crew at 316-0355.
...Mormon Reservoir Health Advisory continued
According to Josh Jensen, Public Health Program Manager, with South Central Public Health District, “Children and pets are particularly susceptible. Exposure to the toxins produced by cyanobacterial HABs may result in life-threatening liver damage, neurological problems such as muscle spasms, decreased movement, labored breathing, convulsions, and possible death.” HABs develop when specific types of photosynthetic bacteria bloom, at times forming dense visible mats. These can occur in rivers, lakes, and
ponds. Warm, slow moving water with high nutrient levels, particularly phosphorous, can create conditions that allow algae to grow very quickly. Typically these conditions occur during the warmer months of summer and early fall. HABs tend to shrink dramatically as the water temperature drops in mid to late fall. DEQ will continue to monitor water quality until the bloom dissipates and will advise the public when the concern no longer exists. More information is available at www.deq. idaho.gov/water-quality

Cup of Tee
A month ago I decided I needed to get caught up on many of my personal tasks. Some had been years in the making, such as painting my house and barn. I told my employer that I was going to go part time at my job so I could get some of the things done I needed to do. Two days later my landowner called and told me that my place had sold and I would have to find another place to live. His health was getting a little worse and he was reducing down. We together had never come to an agreement on me purchasing. One day turns into another which turn into years before you know it. I have rented where I’m at for over twenty years. There is sixty acres in which someone else has rented the farm ground. My hopes were to farm it myself but couldn’t ever get it where I was leasing/buying it. The best answer is, the property I live on is still going to be farmed - my landowner was definite on that decision. With my trip to California (L.A. area) a week and a half ago, people got thinking I was going there to live. Sorry, I don’t think so! All my life I have lived in a rural or small city setting. I’m not ready for the big city lifestyle. Sometimes a person needs to sleep - big cities never stop. They are 24-hour-a-day motions and noise. For what things I have packed while looking for a new residence, I have not run across any “Twinkies” still in the package. They say the pastry lasts forever. That is an outstanding joke
by Tee Hurd
to think the “Twinkies” would be at my house longer than I did☺. One things for sure, since Hostess closed the doors, the new Twinkies aren’t the same in taste. I have a couple of hawks moved into my neighborhood. They really make a lot of chatter and watch me intensely. I’m new to their environment. Since I have been so busy elsewhere, they don’t recognize me as a tenant. Maybe they knew something I didn’t. The rental stores I see are staying open later in the day. I think they must want me to spend money for handtrucks, etc. to move with. One can accumulate a lot of stuff in twenty years time. You know you have some stuff when auctioneers leave you cards in your mailbox so they can profit from your years of gaining materials. One older lady told me once, “The way to be successful in later years is to collect stuff. Someone always wants stuff and you’ll have what they want, and you’ll always be able to sell or trade for what you need.” Whether they lady was right or not, I don’t know for sure. I know my friends and relatives are starting to extend or plan their vacations when I have to move. So many people are moving that I have to reserve my own box truck to move with☺. As time goes on I guess I will be keeping you posted on my move. But for now, I’m still sending a letter from the same old place. This is my “Cup of Tee” on the move but still stationary (or at least on stationary).

It’s All Yours! Go Play This 4th of July Holiday
As the 4th of July weekend approaches many recreationists will be out enjoying the Sawtooth National Forest. The Sawtooth National Forest encourages everyone to “Know Before You Go” and learn about important information to make your trip enjoyable and safe. Fireworks are prohibited on all national forests year-round. Even if it’s “green,” please practice good sense by using caution with fire and smoking at all times, in all places. Drown, stir and check your campfire for heat with your bare hand. ALL fires must be DEAD OUT before leaving the site. Keep it Clean to Avoid Bear Encounters! Bears often develop a strong liking for human and pet foods. Store food in hard-sided vehicles or bear-proof containers; keep sleeping areas, tents and sleeping bags free from food and food odors; and wash up, change clothes and remove all scented articles nearby before going to bed. Wild bears avoid people, but bears conditioned to human food can be aggressive and may be euthanized if problems occur. SNOW can be found on all Districts as well as the Sawtooth National Recreation Area on the Sawtooth National Forest. You will find wet roads, trails and campgrounds. We urge visitors not to enter areas that are wet to protect infrastructure as well as your personal equipment. Not all areas on the Sawtooth National Forest have cell coverage, if you get in trouble you may not be able to get help. Please stay on designated routes and obtain the appropriate travel maps before you go. Campground Information. It is very important to know the “length of stay” limit at the campground or campsite that you are using. Camping is allowed at developed campgrounds and dispersed sites. In some areas dispersed camping is limited to developed campgrounds and designated sites only. In areas where dispersed camping is allowed you may travel no more than 300 feet off of an open Forest road. Stay limits vary from 10 or 16 consecutive days. Once you have exceeded the stay limit at any dispersed site you must relocate. Stay limits and relocation requirements are posted along main road corridors or you can contact any Forest office for specific area information. All campgrounds will be open and reservations can be made at http://www.recreation.gov NOTE: Baumgartner Campground is closed to the public while repairs are being made. If you have questions this campground, contact the Fairfield Ranger District at 208-764-3202.

Winter Kill Less Than Expected For Mule Deer and Elk
By Roger Phillips, Public Information Specialist Mule deer fawns had a tough winter, but Idaho’s mule deer fawn mortality wasn’t as bad as feared, but still the second-lowest winter survival in nearly 20 years. About 30 percent of radio collared fawns and 90 percent of collared does survived the harsh conditions last winter with deep snow and frigid temperatures on low-elevation winter range. Elk survival was substantially better with 54 percent of radio collared calves and 96 percent of collared cows making it through winter. While that’s a touch of good news after a challenging winter, mule deer hunters will see fewer young bucks in the fall, and in some places, very few. The statewide average doesn’t represent the wild swings across the state. The McCall/Weiser area had the lowest survival rate with only 3 percent of collared fawns surviving winter, while the Smoky/Bennett area and South Hills in south-central Idaho had 60 and 57 percent survival, respectively. To add more perspective, Fish and Game biologists have been collaring deer in early winter and monitoring them through spring over the last 19 years. Last winter’s 30 percent fawn survival was four points above the lowest on record, which was in 2010-11, but well below the 19-year average of 57 percent. Winter fawn monitoring provides vital, real-time information for setting seasons and allows biologists to quickly react to changing herd sizes, which they did this year by reducing doe tags in many areas. It’s difficult to quantify, but Fish and Game’s massive feeding effort likely reduced winter mortality. During peak winter, Fish and Game staff and volunteers, in cooperation with many private landowners, operated 156 feeding sites that fed more than 13,000 deer, 12,000 elk and 200 pronghorn. The effort was not only to sustain them, but also to prevent big game from damaging crops and agriculture lands, and reduce safety hazards associated with wildlife in communities and along roads and highways. Fish and Game also closed many of its wildlife management areas during winter to reduce stress on big game herds. Winter was relatively normal north of the Salmon River in Idaho’s prime whitetail country. Whitetails continue to be an integral part of Idaho’s deer population and account for more than 40 percent of the annual harvest. North and north/central Idaho’s winter weather was closer to average than southern Idaho’s. Whitetails tend to have high birth rates of twins where they have good forage, and they tend to bounce back quickly after winter losses. How the winter affects deer harvests remains to be seen because there are many variables for hunting success beyond the winter survival. But for a little perspective, the deer harvest in 2011 hunting season – after the lowest winter fawn survival – was 2,555 fewer deer statewide than the previous year, a drop of 6 percent.
