WWII Veteran Receives Bronze Star On June 18th, 2016, VFW Post 3001 along with members of the American Legion Post 46 gathered at the Veteran’s Memorial in Jerome’s South Park to present a Bronze Star to the family of WWII Veteran, Raymond Appell. In March of 1945, the U.S. Army finally pushed the German army back across the Siegfried Line Germany’s prewar boundary along the western front. The Siegfried Line was network of more than 18,000 bunkers, tunnels and tank traps, that ran 390 miles from the Netherlands to the border of Switzerland. During this offensive Private First Class Appell, a member of the 254th Infantry Regiment, was wounded during a battle near Hartungshof, Germany (just
southeast of Luxembourg). Dispite his injuries he held his position. During a counterattack Raymond was again wounded, and true to form, he continued to fire his rifle, even while medical aid bandaged his wounds. For his selfless bravery and devotion to duty during the battle that took place on March 3, 1945, Private First Class Raymond Ap-
pell was awarded the Bronze Star. The medal, however, was never sent to the brave soldier. Bob Morgado, a member of VFW Post 3001, spearheaded the effort to rectifiy this oversight. On June 18th past State VFW Commander George Peacock and Samantha Marshall from Senator Crapo’s office presented the award.

Historic Trails Convention
In 1834, when Boston-based entrepreneur Nathaniel Wyeth established Fort Hall in the Snake River country, his goal was to engage in trade with fur trappers and Indians on the far Western frontier. Wyeth’s fur business tanked, but the fort became a crossroads in what would become the territory, and later the state, of Idaho. On August 1st, some 300 historic trail aficionados from around the country and abroad will convene at the Shoshone-Bannock Hotel and Conference Center at modern-day Fort Hall near Pocatello for the 34th annual convention of the Oregon-California Trails Association (OCTA). Themed “Cultures and Changes,” the five-day conference will focus on the fur trappers, missionaries, and Oregon and California-bound emigrants who came into the area in the mid-1800s, and the impact they had on the native people they found there. continued on page 9.....

Don Lee Harris passed away on June 29, 2016, at his home with his family by his side. He was 66. He was born October 14, 1949 in Nampa, Idaho to Orville J. Harris and Helen Price Harris. The family moved to Shoshone, Idaho in 1959 where the OJ Harris family worked diligently to renovate and reopen the Shoshone sale yard. Don loved growing up around the sale yard and his siblings were his favorite playmates. To this day they remain his closest friends. Don graduated from Shoshone High School in 1968. He excelled in football and basketball and loved the time he spent with many friends. He was the life of the party and ready for any adventure. Don’s infectious laugh and outgoing personality will always be remembered by those who loved him. Don joined the National Guard in 1969 where he served in this capacity for 7 years. Don had three children from a previous marriage, Joseph Don, Michael Dee, and Keri Kristine. He later married Nancy Lee Bunn on January 20, 1978, in Jerome, Idaho. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Boise, Idaho Temple on June 22, 2000. Don and Nancy had four children, Christy Lee (deceased), Shawn David, Bryan Christopher, and Jennifer Ann. Don started his working career for Cenex in the fertilizer industry. In 1985, Don followed in his father OJ Harris’ footsteps in the cattle industry and opened the Harris Buying Station where he successfully operated the business until 2011. In 2010, Don and Nancy were honored for their work in the livestock and agriculture industry and were inducted into the Cattleman’s Hall of Fame. Don met many great and life-long friends through the cattle industry and is proud that his son, Bryan Harris, has continued with his legacy of operating the buying station. Don was an avid hunter and outdoorsman. He loved to hunt bear and cougars in the Idaho Mountains with his “Beloved” dogs. Don developed many close friends over the years through his affiliation with the Southern Idaho Hound Association. Don shared his love of hunting and the outdoors with his sons where many memories were created and fondly remembered. Don’s other love and passion was his family. He was proud beyond measure of each one of his six children. He loved to share their success and accomplishments with anyone he could get to listen. Don loved his children, but he “Adored” his 12 grandchildren. Grandpa Don will be fondly remembered by pulling toes and popping fingers, constant teasing, big hugs, and being the coolest cowboy around.

Elva Audine Harley
On July 1, 2016 Elva Audine Harley moved into the next phase of her life in heaven at a young age of 85. She was born Elva Audine Cox to Alfred and Mable Cox in Elk City, Oklahoma on June 27, 1931. After moving to Idaho a few years later, Audine, as she liked to be called, grew up around Cedar Draw. While riding her bicycle one day she happened to meet a gentlemen who was drilling a well at a nearby farm. His name was Rosco Harley. Dad always said that she was the prettiest thing to ever ride a bicycle and bring him ice tea. After a brief courtship they were married on December 12, 1947 in Elko Nevada. To this marriage she brought into the world 6 wonderful children; Leona Jean (John) Wood, John (Jillet) Harley, Rodney (Cindy) Harley, Sue Harley Ed.D (Don Cogger) Dave Harley (Darla) and Sarah Perkins (Vern). She was blessed with several grandchildren; Joe and Lonnie, Tyrell and Taylor, Jennifer and Loren, Catina, Jennifer and Heather, Donald and Ben, Rusty, Jamie and Jeremy and with numerous great and great, great grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her husband, Rosco Harley, a brother Richard Cox and her parents Alfred and Mable Cox. There are so many more words we could say about Mom. But, how could you choose just one word to describe her? She was Wise and Direct in her Opinions. She was Loyal. She was Strong but yet Stubborn. She was Unselfish and Devoted. She was Kind and Happy. Mom’s hospitality and generosity was far-reaching. Everyone she came in contact with or met was Welcome in her home and her table with a hug and that big smile and plenty of food to eat. She use to say, “If you go away from my table hungry that is your fault.” There was always lots to go around. Mom never met a stranger and was friendly and respectful to all. She always made an attempt to say hello to anyone she knew and greeted those she did not with a smile and a hello. Mom loved to cook and was born into an era where “country cooking” was a must. She mastered that to a tee. Many people have had a chance to taste some of my mom’s baking and many may not even know they have had it. There was not a pie should could not bake to perfection, a loaf of bread, biscuits or scones she could not turn into a culinary piece of art or a holiday dinner that would match those in the food magazines. The most remarkable thing about Mom is that through all these years she served her family as best as she could. She was incredible in her abilities to try and calm our frustrations, although she may have been frustrated with us herself. Mom would put her personal feelings behind to focus on what could

We watched in awe as a Mom sacrificed her time for the betterment of raising her children and trying to provide them with the best of care and attention. I’m sure it is was not easy on a daily basis to do the things she did to raise all of us but at the end of the day she got it done. No matter what happened in her life, she always loved her children. Mom, we could never thank you enough for all you’ve done for all of us. That’s how our Mom lived her life – always giving, always loving, and always making food for people. She never had much money, and yet she always found ways to give that went far beyond what monetary riches could have done. I thank God for the way he made you Mom, distinct, special and unique. You will always be with all of us… You touched everyone you met; and are a profound example of how life should be lived. We may live without poetry, music, and art; we may live without conscience, and live without heart; we may live without friends; we may live without books; but civilized people cannot live without Moms who were Great Cooks. A graveside service will be held at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, July 6, 2016 at the Wendell Cemetery with Pastor Roger Johnson officiating.

Clayton Vernon “Butch” Peugh
Clayton Vernon “Butch” Peugh, 77, a resident of Parma, formerly of Shoshone, passed away Monday, June 27, 2016 at Parma Living Center in Parma. He was born March 15, 1939, to Clayton and Addie Peugh in Shoshone, Idaho. He graduated from Shoshone High School in 1957.

Throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s he and his son enjoyed traveling throughout the country racing motorcycles together. During retirement, he enjoyed trap shooting and camping with his many friends. He also made time for fishing and hunting the beautiful rivers and mountains of Idaho. He never missed an opportunity to tell a joke or wear one of his many humorous t-shirts or hats. Butch loved his country, no matter where he was, if there was a person in uniform he would remove his hat and salute them, especially at the 4th of July parades.

Executive Director CED Tom Snow recently announced that producers who file accurate and timely reports for all crops and land uses, including failed acreage can prevent the potential loss of FSA program benefits. Please pay close attention to the acreage reporting date below for 2016. “In order to comply with FSA program eligibility requirements, all producers are encouraged to visit your administrative County FSA office to file an accurate crop certification report by the applicable deadline,” said CED Snow. The following acreage reporting date is applicable for all of the following counties: Twin Falls, Jerome, Gooding, Lincoln, Blaine, and Camas County, Deadline: July 15, 2016 - for all spring planted crops The following exceptions apply to the above acreage reporting date: • If the crop has not been planted by the above acreage reporting date, then the acreage must be reported no later than 15 calendar days after planting is completed. • If a producer acquires additional acreage after the above acreage reporting date, then the acreage must be reported no later than 30 calendars days after purchase or acquiring the lease. Appropriate documentation must be provided to the county office. • If a perennial forage crop is reported with the intended use of “cover only,” “green manure,” “left standing,” or “seed” then the acreage must be reported by July 15th.
According to CED Snow, Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) policy holders should note that the acreage reporting date for NAP covered crops is the earlier of the dates listed above or 15 calendar days before grazing or harvesting of the crop begins. Production reports for past yields are also due by the July deadline. Fall seeded crops, alfalfa, pasture, rangeland should have been reported last fall. Late filing fees may be assessed if that report was not made. Spring planted crops filed after 7/15/2016 may also be assessed a late fee.

Adam the Apthona Flea Beetle
by The Camas Bug Crew Adam woke in a cold sweet he dreamed that the bug crew was being attacked by a field full of Leafy Spurge! Now he was determined to help the bug crew any way that he could. But first, he had to destroy all of the plants roots. After all the larval stage is the most destructive to leafy spurge. AP ( aphthona) larvae feed on fine root hairs, impairing the roots and creating wounds which may be infected by secondary pathogens. AP larvae may be found in infested leafy spurge roots from July to early spring the next year. Finally after many long hours he was ready to emerge from the ground. He got up all the courage he could muster and pushed himself out of the soil. Everything was more amazing than he could have ever imagined. He climbed to the top of the tallest leafy spurge plant and started eating all of the seeds. Leafy spurge everywhere and it was yummy! Leafy spurge, (Euphorbia esula,) is a deep-rooted, vegetatively and by seed. Plants have an extensive root system which grows both horizontally and vertically that is capable of reaching depths up to 20 ft. Stems are thickly clustered and have narrow, alternate leaves which exude milky latex when damaged. The flowers are small, yellowish-green, and enclosed in showy yellow-green bracts. Seeds are oblong and occur in clusters of three in a capsule. When the seeds are dry, the capsules shatter and spread the seeds ad far as 15 ft from the plant. Leafy spurge is commonly found in grassland and rangeland habitats, but is also capable of invading forests and riparian areas, displacing native vegetation. Adam had done something heroic in his adventure and he settled down to start his family in the meadow. Generations of aphthona would follow, keeping this noxious weed at bay. If you have seen leafy spurge please contacted the Camas Bug Crew at 316-0355 and we will make sure Adam and his posterity are introduced to a new buffet of noxious weeds.

Tribe members, including Darrell Shay of the Business Council, together with Leah Hardy, Rosemary Devinne, and Leo Ariwite of the Tribe’s Language and Cultural Preservation Department, will explore these impacts on the native American culture. It’s the first such convention to be held on a reservation, according to convention chairman John Briggs of Boise. Jerry Eichhorst, President of the host Idaho Chapter of OCTA, has designed a number of field trips that include visits to the site of the original Fort Hall, Massacre Rocks, and Soda Springs. The public is invited and can get more information about the Convention and the Book Room - where specialist books and magazines about the Trails can be purchased - at www.idahoocta.org, from or by calling OCTA at (816) 252-2276. An impressive array of speakers and presenters will include: Renowned western authors Will Bagley and Jim Hardee on the impacts of Fort Hall on the Rocky Mountain fur trade; lecturer and re-enactor Steve Banks on the discovery of Wyoming’s South Pass, which enabled wagons to cross the Rockies; historian Clint Gilchrist on the recent discovery of rare 1859 stereoview photographs by western artist Albert Bierstadt; Idaho State University’s Paul Link on the way geography shaped the trails; CSI’s Tom Blanchard on Goodale’s Cutoff; and Clay Landry, who served as historical consultant on popular motion picture, “The Revenant.”
