Volume 38 ~ Number 29 News from the Heart of Idaho Camas • Lincoln • Gooding

Naturopathic Healthcare In 2005, Idaho became the 15th state to create a licensure program for naturopathic physicians. The law, which provides for qualifications, fees and penalties, and a Board of Naturopathic Medical Examiners, has faced many difficulties. Aside from the opposition from “sciencebased” medical providers, there has been an internal conflict between those who are happy with the law as it is and those who want more stringent requirements. Naturopathic Medicine includes diagnoses, treatment, and care of patients using a system of physiological, psychological, mechanical methods (air, water, light, heat), as well as food and natural medicines to treat various medical conditions. Naturopathic Medicine is generally less expensive and pre-emptive (tries to prevent a problem before it becomes a problem). Because of this, there is a push to have naturopathic physicians recognized as “primary care providers” under the Affordable Care Act. Those who want more continued on page 6.....

...Naturopathic Healthcare continued
stringent regulations in the Idaho law want to add a higher level of authenticitiy to this occupation with doctorate level education and other requirements. Those in the “science-based” medical fields would rather not add any validity to Naturopathic Medicine. Instead, they support regulations that limit what naturopaths can and can not do (no pharmaceuticals or surgery). While many view naturopathic medicine as quackery, the current trend in many health fields is the acceptance of alternative medicine to augment traditional medical treatments. The basis for this is that medical treatments do not heal a person, they mearly assist the body’s own healing process, a process we still don’t fully understand. Consequently, who’s to say that some “quack” treatment might not turn into tomorrow’s greatest medical discovery. If you would like to know more about Naturopathic Medicine, visit Linda Harms, N.D. at 176 East Main in Wendell. Besides being a board certified naturopath, she is also a licensed Optician and Master Barber. You can call ahead to 536-2530 or 539-9563, or visit her website at http://www.colonhydrotherapysunvalley.com ~~~~~ Disclaimer: The Courier NEWS does not encourage or discourage individuals to use naturopathic medicine. While most of proceedures provided by naturopaths are perfectly harmless to the average person, you should be well informed about the advantages and disadvantages. Also, remember that all legitamate healthcare providers follow a code of ethics that include: Respect for Autonomy - the patient has the right to refuse or choose their treatment; Beneficence – a practitioner should act in the best interest of the patient; and Non-maleficence – “first, do no harm.”

Doris Mae Oakley Doris Mae Oakley went peacefully to God on July 7, 2014 surrounded by her husband and family in her own home. Doris was born May 13, 1927 in a farm house in Wendell, Idaho to Foy Clarence (Doc) Osborne and Lena Osborne. She completed the family, joining her two brothers, George (Dude) Carrico and Donald Carrico. She spent a significant part of her first few years as the little red-haired attraction on a depression era sheep ranch in Shoshone, Idaho where her father worked and her mother was a cook. She attended the Gooding schools, graduating from Gooding High School in 1945. Following that she attended Colorado Women’s College in Denver for one year. Doris returned to Gooding and married William C. (Bill) Oakley, who had been her high school sweetheart, in August 1946. The two moved to Salt Lake City, Utah where they attended business school for over a year. Upon their return to Gooding, where they remained the entirety of their lives, she was deputy assessor for the county until their son, Chris, was born in 1951. From that time forward she was a wife, homemaker and mother, supporting the efforts of her husband, Bill, in growing his accounting practice and was an inspiration and partner in his pursuit and completion of the CPA exam. She was a loving resource and guiding light for her son, Chris, in sessions after school while she baked cookies. A second son, David, joined the family in 1961 from which time onward Doris was the hub of this family wheel. Her emotional and physical commitment to this family was Herculean. Her judgment tended to be impeccable as was her taste and sense of style. First and foremost, however, was her embrace of education, character, substance and the pursuit of a spiritual life. Her family well remembers the pride she had in being invited to join P.E.O. When still a young women in her community. The fact that this was a “charitable organization” was very important to her. She was a driving force in the Episcopal Church and head of the Alter Guild for many years. She served a term on the Foundation Board of the College of Southern Idaho and was a many year member of the Gooding Country Club. She was an avid Bridge player, hostess and excellent cook. Doris developed a reputation in the Magic Valley for her development of a ladies clothing business starting with a small store in Gooding which over a period of years became

known as Doris O’s. This became a very important part of her life during those years and she valued the respect and patronage of ladies from many parts. Related to this and other activities she was given a “lifetime achievement award for community service” from the Gooding Chamber of Commerce. She is survived by: her husband of almost 68 years, William C. Oakley; her son, W. Christian Oakley, M.D. And her daughter-law, Judy, of Boise. She is also survived by her grandson, Nathan Christian (Shellie) Oakley of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; granddaughters, Erin Phomia (Noah) Bryan of Boise and Gretchen Mae Oakley, M.D. Of Salt Lake City, Utah. She was the beloved “Grammy” to six great grandchildren. One of her favorite stories to tell on herself was the time one of her grandchildren yelled at the top of their lungs “Grandma!” while searching for her in a ski lift line! She was very proud that this “Grandma” still skied with them. She was preceded in death by her son, David LaFoy Oakley, and her two brothers. Doris had many friends because she gave so much of herself to them. She travelled extensively over the years but loved Gooding best of all. She was the anchor of a great and lasting marriage. Her heart and soul went out to her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, and they knew it. She will be missed. Funeral services were held on Monday, July 14, 2014, at St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church. Burial followed at the Elmwood Cemetery in Gooding.

Back in high school things were pretty lax. We drove our pickups (if we had one) to school. We left our windows open with the keys in the ignition, and our shotguns were in the gun rack in the back window. No one judged you be what kind of car you drove or didn’t. Our cars were muscle care (hot rods), beaters, or pickups. For someone to really stick out you had to have a bright yellow or orange rig... sometimes pink. The Cadillacs and Lincolns were not as common as most because we couldn’t afford them. One of my friends, Ed, was given a car by his grandpa. All of us in school were fine with a grandparent care because in a sense, it was like money (car) for our budget. The car Ed was given was black with a white top. It looked gray sitting in the barn with years of dust on it. Once we washed and waxed the car, it was pretty nice. In fact, Ed’s car became eye candy at school. The car was a 1958 Lincoln. Not only was it a classic, it was a Lincoln to boot (instant status). How many kids in school had a Lincoln? Ed wanted me to set him up with a date with Karen who lived in Brownlee, Idaho, across the hill from where I lived (Sweet, Idaho). I told him he could set up his own date. He did. Then he came to me again, “Tee, can you at least take me up to where Karen lives? I don’t know that I could find her house.” I agreed to ride up with him to show him Karen’s house. Karen lived on a place that was full of rolling hills and gates to open. By living in Sweet on a hill I had plenty of practice opening gates. Maybe I should have asked Karen for a date myself and have Ed open the gates for me. The grade from Brownlee running into Sweet was a pretty good incline. We started down the grade three abreast in the Lincoln. Then the Lincoln decided to see how close of friends we were. One of the wheel cylinders broke and we had no brakes. Ed turned whiter than a towel with the Tide detergent clean thing. “TEE, what do I do?” “First off,” I said calmly, “shift this baby down into first gear.” With the automatic, the car was still rolling at 35 to 40 mph. Then I added, “Second thing, keep this thing on the road.” We rolled down the hill unable to stop at the stop sign in Sweet. We actually were in town before we could stop. Ed looked at Karen and asked her if she was alright. I told Ed, “If you are going to scare Karen, you’ll have to do a better job than that. Karen drives a three wheel tractor with no brakes in these hills.” (three wheel tractors have a safety issue in hills). I surprised Ed by cutting his brake line and repairing it with a piece of pop can so he and Karen could finish their date. I don’t know if Ed even got to relax that night knowing that he could still have the same problem with another old dry wheel cylinder. The excitement of the night had me back to lax mode as I walked four miles back home. This is my “Cup of Tee” saying sometimes it is beneficial to be the gate opener.

by... the Camas Bug Crew In last week’s installment of Joe Sabin, Joe along with his sidekick Urophora cardui defeated the ferocious Canada Thistle. Joe Sabin’s adventures started this week with a flourish. The call came in at eleven a.m. Joe had just finished his routine of 400 burpies. Knapweed had been spotted in the northwest quadrant of Camas County. Joe Sabin knew he had a challenge in front of him. This type of weed is a biennial short lived plant that produces a whopping 18,000 seeds per plant. This meant that in one moment one could be in a luscious green field, and in one short season this aggressive noxious weed could take over the native grasses and begin a reign of terror. Do not be fooled by its white, pink or lavender flowers that bloom between July and September. The bracts of the flowers are tipped with a long slender spine that buries itself in anything that happens to pass by. In this manner this opportunist hitches a ride across the country to find new homes to invade. It’s imperative that Joe reach this infestation before the damage is done. The best way to counter-attack the proliferation of these seed heads is with Larinus minutus. Joe had been stock-piling these weed eating weevils for just such a situation. Stealth and precision were the keys to winning this scrimmage. With the knapweed seed heads full and blooming, the Larinus would begin their assault. These bugs over- winter as adults which emerge in the spring when they begin to feed on knapweed foliage. Females produce between 28-130 eggs which they lay in clusters over the flowers. Eggs hatch in the larvae which feed on seeds and receptacle tissue for about a month. Larvae construct cocoons within the seed heads using pappus hairs and pupate. Emerging adults chew a characteristic round hole in the top of the cocoon that is visible when viewed from above. With the help of the valiant Camas Bug Crew, Joe strategically distributed the teams of Larinus minutus directly in the path of the advancing army of Knapweed. Before the summer’s end the knapweed was surrounded by the chomping mandibles of the mighty Larinus. In the end, because of Joe’s superhero efforts the knapweed was stopped in its tracks. Joe kept an ever vigilant eye on these retreating noxious weeds wreaking havoc on any resistance.

Sage Grouse Initiative
The Natural Resources Conservation Service’s Sage Grouse Initiative helps fund work to improve sage grouse habitat in Idaho. Interested landowners must apply for this year’s funding by July 18, 2014. The initiative focuses on improving rangeland to support both healthy sage grouse populations and sustainable ranching. “Putting specific conservation practices in place can improve sage grouse habitat or reduce threats to bird survival,” said Jeff Burwell, Idaho NRCS State Conservationist. “The Sage Grouse Initiative gives landowners funding to apply those conservation practices on their property.” Typical habitat improvement practices include seeding rangeland to increase availability of sagegrouse food plants; removing juniper trees in key breeding, brood-rearing and wintering sites to restore sage-grouse habitat; and, including a rest period in grazing systems to improve sage-grouse cover during the nesting season. “The practices that benefit sage grouse habitat also create or maintain healthy grazing land for livestock.” said Burwell. “Through voluntary conservation, we hope to keep the sage grouse off the endangered species list.” For more information on the initiative, contact your local NRCS office.
