New Fire Restrictions Finder Now Online
The public’s participation in preventing human-caused wildfires is critical during the current extreme fire conditions which are in some cases exceeding all-time maximum levels in Idaho. To help make it easy to find fire restricted areas, the Idaho Department of Lands has launched a new online resource called the Fire Restrictions Finder. “The Fire Restrictions Finder is a mapping tool that is smartphone and computer friendly so you can plan activities accordingly,” said Idaho Department of Lands Director Dustin Miller. “We are doing everything we can to support getting this information to the public because we need the people of Idaho to take extra steps to prevent accidental fires right now. Even if that means changing your recreation plans for the sake of reducing wildfire risk.” Fire restrictions are meant to prevent human-caused wildfires. Restrictions can be declared in a portion of the state, or in multiple areas. The decision to enforce fire restrictions comes as very high or extreme fire danger is predicted to persist and resources are stretched thin with multiple fires occurring in Idaho. Local state and federal agencies come together to follow established, statewide-approved guidelines for implementing fire restrictions in their geographic areas. Fire restrictions are implemented in accordance with the criteria established in the 2021 Idaho Fire Restrictions Plan.

Proverbs 3:5
James 1:5
John 3:16
Robert Hendriks, U.S. spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses calls this hisRevelation 21:4 Exidus 14:21 Isaiah 30:15 toric undertaking “a labor of love.” He further stated, “The goal is that every person in the world can have 2 Timothy 3:16 Galations 5:22 Matthew 24:14 free access to God’s word in the language of their heart. It’s like a gift, a love letter to them.” “Their reaction has been, ‘I can finally take control of my own spirituality. I am not dependent on anyone. I can finally have a relationship with my Creator,’” he said. “The Bible is now in their own language, hitting their heart, affecting them in this powerful way. All of a sudden they feel closer to God.” Joedi Duggan of Wendell Idaho has both professional and personal ties to the Deaf Community. Working for several years as a Paraprofessional and Cottage Supervisor at the Idaho School for the Deaf and Blind she expressed: “Seeing the Bible acted out in a visual language at no cost would be so huge for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Bible principles are beneficial for all of us not matter what our language or culture." Royce Porkert, Idaho Media Representative for Jehovah’s Witnesses, explained: “According to the Idaho Council for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, there are 232,310 deaf and hard of hearing citizens in the state of Idaho. It will be exciting to see how this new tool will be put to good use in our local ASL community.” The ASL translation is only one of 33 Bible language projects the Witnesses completed in 2020. Currently, the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures has been translated in whole or in part into 195 languages, with 36 additional languages to be added in 2021. Jehovah’s Witnesses provide all of their Bibles free of charge on their official website: jw.org

...but never Compromising the Truth.
Are you Bound by Bind Weed?
1-208-246-9999
by the Camas Bug Crew As you look out across the Prairie, do you see a carpet of white flowers stretching toward the horizon? You are looking at a noxious weed that extends under the ground up to 15 feet both vertically and horizontally from the plant stem. This weed is no joke! Today will we discuss this plant’s phrenology and characteristics. Hopefully, this article will help you better understand this weed and how to best combat it. Field bindweed is a creeping perennial vine native to Eurasia. It can grow from 0.3 to 2m in length and often forms dense infestations consisting of one or more clones. Leaves are round to arrow-shaped 2.5 to 5.7 cm long and alternate along a prostrate stem. Flowering occurs in the mid-summer, when white to pale pink, funnel-shaped flowers develop and continues into early fall. Flowers are typically 1.9-2.5cm in diameter and are subtended by small bracts. Seed pods are pointed and approximately 5mm long. Each pod contains four rough, pear-shaped seeds which can remain viable in the soil for up to 10 years and as long as 50 years under the right conditions. Field bindweed is thought to have been introduced into North America as a contaminant in crop seed as early as 1739. Plants tolerate a wide range of environmental conditions and elevations-from cultivated fields to waste areas. This invasive is present in all 48 contiguous states and Hawaii. ACMA is a gall-forming Eriophyid mite which stunts, reduces plant density, and reduces flowering in a field bindweed. Galls are typically found on the leaves or stem buds. The stems form compact clusters of stunted leaves when they are attacked. When the leaves are attacked they, fold or twist upward along the midrib where the mite feeding occurs. These agents are present year-round producing multiple generations per year. The two nymphal stages resemble the adults but lack external genitalia. The adults are microscope and worm-like with an annulate body with two pairs of legs on the combined head and thorax. The soft-bodied adults are increasingly available from established field sites. Galls can be handpicked and sorted several weeks if refrigerated. Wrapping infested stems around bindweed plants or transferring individual galls to the tip of the stem are the best methods to conduct new releases. Bindweed is a noxious weed that can be stopped by the Eriophyid mite which is a natural way to kill your bind weed without killing other plants. It is our job to release this great hero that stops the evil bindweed. If you have a noxious weed problem, contact Terry Lee the Camas County weed superintendent at (208)764-3512.

Richard Dee Williams
Richard Dee Williams, 80, a resident of Gooding, passed away on Friday, July 16, 2021 at his home in Gooding. Richard was born on August 28, 1940 in Twin Falls, the son of Phillip Williams and Eva Belle (Schmidt) Williams. He was raised and educated in Twin Falls where he graduated from Twin Falls High School in 1959. He worked for Olmstead’s farms and feedlots. Richard married Carol Lee Kyle on November 4, 1962 in Twin Falls. Together they started their family in 1963 having four children – Karrie, Terrie, Richard and Phillip. Richard moved his family to Gooding in 1972. He worked for Vern France feedlots, working there until the feedlot sold 29 years later. Richard and Carol moved to town and became first time home owners. Richard was an avid fisherman and hunter. He raised his family to be very independent – they raised chickens, rabbits, pigs, Labrador dogs for hunting, huge gardens and all family members were taught and raised to can and preserve for winter groceries. Richard had a big influence on many kids. He helped with 4-H, Girl Scouts and took a lot of “extras” camping, hunting and fishing. He taught us about wildflowers, birds and many other animals. We leaned a great respect for nature and value of life. Richard is survived by: his wife – Carol Williams of Gooding; two sons – Richard Dean Williams of Jerome and Phillip (Nancy) Williams of Gooding; two daughters – Karrie Giles of Gooding and Terrie (Don) Rider of Kimberly; two sisters – Phillis Jean Uptain of Buhl and Valarie (Matt) Dinkel of Twin Falls; eight grandchildren – Kyleen, Derek, Ashlee, Brandon, Bradyn, Brittney, Jeff and Becky; nine great grandchildren – Jacob, Kaitlynn, C.J., Dawson, Bentley, Brexlynn, AriBella, Paige and Zayla. He was preceded in death by his parents – Phillip and Eva Williams. At his request no public funeral services will be held. The family will have a private celebration of life in the mountains of Idaho on a later date. Cremation arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service.

Robert Murray Layne 1949 --- 2021
1-208-246-9999
obit ua r ies
Robert Murray Layne died from complications with pneumonia February 4, 2021 at Trinity Memorial Hospital in Minot, North Dakota. Bob and his twin sister, Becky, were born June 19, 1949 after a speedy ride across the Arco desert from Mackay, Idaho to Pocatello in Fred and Louise Diers' brand new Cadillac. When the news that Murray and Virginia Layne were expecting twins got around town, everyone in Mackay was excited and wanted to help. Murray accepted Fred's offer gratefully, not confident that his old Chevy would reliably get them to the hospital 150 miles away. When the twins decided to come, in the wee hours of the morning, Fred made sure they made it just in time to the Bannock Memorial Hospital. It was a wild and eventful ride! Bob's early years were spent in Mackay in the shadow of Mt McCaleb rising majestically in the clean, clear air. The town, nestled in the green valley with the Lost River restlessly running through, was a young boy's dream. The freedom to explore and imagine great adventures filled Bob's spirit with an affinity for the great outdoors that guided his life's choices right to the end. His family moved to Challis where they lived on an 80 acre ranch with small streams and lakes and pools that attracted birds, wildlife.. and Bob. He had his first swimming "lesson" when a nail he was pulling out of a wooden plank of the bridge near their house suddenly gave way and sent Bob head first into the river. He developed his own style of dog paddle much to the relief of Becky and his big sister Dianne, watching frantically from the banks. Bob had quite an adjustment from "country" life to "city" life when his family moved to Pocatello. Not one to be daunted by a challenge, Bob thrived, finding new interests and lifelong friends, but his heart never left the wide open spaces of the Lost River Valley. Over the years Bob spent his summers in Mackay, honing his horsemanship skills while working with his ranching friends and moving cattle in the Copper Basin and the Pahsimeroi Valley. When Bob graduated from Highland High School in 1968, the Vietnam War was going strong. Rather than being drafted, Bob enlisted in the US Air Force. Thankfully, he came home safely with three stripes and a beautiful set of Noritake China for his mom. The china was proudly used for every special family occasion. From bull riding in the Mackay Rodeo, to panning for gold in Alaska, to working in the oil fields of North Dakota, to running his own industrial spray business, Bob worked hard and he played hard. More importantly, he loved his family and friends with a generous, gentle and caring heart. We will forever cherish his memory and carry it closely with us… only wishing for one more story, one more playful wink, one more moment with Bob. Bob was preceded in death by his grandparents Jack and Pauline Chaney, his parents Murray and Virginia Layne, and his beloved Blue Heeler, Zeke, border collie, Millie, and his English setter, Louie. He is survived by his wife Pam Layne of Noonan,North Dakota, his loving daughters, Kimberly Ann (Paul) Edgington of Gold Camp, Arizona , Kara (Steve) Mason of Gooding,Idaho, Kori Dawn (Chuck) Rumple of Gooding, Idaho, Shauna (Evan) Arrington of Jerome,Idaho , his much-loved son, Brendan Layne of Minidoka, Idaho, his grandchildren, Perri Lynn, Korbin, Kaymin, Ryker, Waylon, Cassidy, Justin, Tayson, Karlee, Trinity, Braxton, Lexi, Brylee, and Rory, and his great grandson Jayden, his sisters, Dianne (Clark) Parker, of Mackay, Idaho, Rebecca "Becky" (Dan) Vestal of Caldwell, Idaho, Michelle Layne of Pocatello, Idaho, his brother, Mark (Angela) Layne, of Caldwell,Idaho, his nieces and nephews, Nicole (Marty), Amanda, Patrick, Katy, Christopher (Ashlyn), Mallory, and Cole and Crue. Last but not least, Kara's 8 month old calf, Bob, born on Bob's birthday last summer,and Bob's new little hunting dog, Daisy. The family thanks the doctors and nurses and staff of the Minot hospital ICU unit for their kind and compassionate care of Bob. Come Celebrate Robert Layne’s Life this weekend in Mackay, Idaho. July 23rd is a private family Dinner. Saturday, July 24th, is the celebration of life with food in the City Park in Mackay at 2 p.m. - open to friends and family - and on Sunday, July 25th, the family will have a private ceremony at the Cemetery.

Robert Eugene Luff
Robert Eugene Luff, 90, of Richfield, Idaho, died Sunday, July 18, 2021 at Serenity Transitional Care in Twin Falls, following a long battle with skin cancer. Robert was born June 10, 1931 in Glasgow, Montana, to Ervin “Ike” and Ruby (Carter) Luff. After attending school in Richfield, Robert entered the United Sates Army in 1954. He served at Ford Old, Fort Knox and then served a tour of duty in Meintz, Germany. He was part of a tank division and was honorably discharged in 1956 after assuming the Non-Commissioned Officer’s rank of SP 3. After the army, Robert returned to Idaho and began farming. He knew a Richfield girl, Mary Farnworth, from childhood, and they had a humorous incident at the bank where she worked when she accidentally shortchanged him. He joked with his aunt and uncle that he would have to marry her to get even. A courtship began, and he did! The two were married May 13, 1959 and enjoyed a 62-year marriage. The couple adopted a daughter, Jean Carmen, in 1968. Robert and the family farmed and raised Holstein heifers for the dairy industry for many years, with Robert working growing hay and grain crops on his property just north of Richfield. There wasn’t much spare time, but Robert enjoyed fishing for trout and boating when he could get out to Magic Reservoir. Robert is survived by: his wife - Mary; daughter - Carmen and her husband Reed; brothers - Richard and Fred; and sisters - Dorothy and Donna and their spouses and families. A graveside services will be held on Friday, June 23, 2021 at 11:00 am at the Richfield Cemetery in Richfield. In lieu of flowers, please donate to your favorite cancer charity. Funeral arrangements by Demaray Funeral Service.

Cup of Tee
The ol' glasses were begging for an upgrade in life. The right ear piece was taped together with Scotch tape. Then I broke the nose piece off of one side. With every movement of my glasses I felt like I was getting a shave with a dull razor. With working twenty miles north of Emmett, Idaho and the hours I was putting in, it seemed like I wasn't getting into the eyeglass store. Finally, off from work, I headed to the eyeglass store in Nampa, Idaho. Being Saturday, their hours of operation were less than normal - I arrived ten minutes before closing time. I asked the gal at the counter if she had a set of frames like mine. She said, "Sorry, those are no longer being stocked." I said, "I hope you are joking because I have left work early, and drove fifty miles to get a repair." Her reply was, "Nope, we don't stock those, but... let's see if we have anything close to a fit." With my glasses in hand, she tried to match something. Me, without my glasses, says, "How about the ones there in the corner?" "Oh," she says. "They may work." I said, "Let's try them to see." Guess what... they fit! The co-counter assistant had a tee shirt on that said "This is not Lens Cleaner Cloth." I told her that shirt must implicate plastic lens. She told me it did. "I don't need to worry, mine are glass," I said. "Besides, I didn't drive all the way here just to clean my glasses on your tee shirt." I think she wanted to punch me for being so close to closing time. I told the gal who was waiting on me that normally when I came into the store, counter

people usually punched me in the face to get my face to fit the glasses. With that, she punched me. She asked me how they fit. Really loose was my answer. She made a few more adjustments - still the same thing. Then I punched myself in the face. The glasses started to take shape. Then she set them on the countertop and was trying to get a flat look to my glasses. I said, "How can you adjust the glasses to my face when you are trying to level them on the counter? Even Christopher Columbus told them back in the old country "Everyone's face is round and not flat, contrary to belief." Those may not have been his exact words, but they are somewhere close. I may have missed something in the Spanish-Latin translation. The Corona virus must still have people at a distance. I am sitting right there and I'm doing all the adjusting. I ask the gal, "Do they look straight now?" She said, "They are level with your eyebrows." With that I lowered one eyebrow. Whoops! Another punch to the face. I didn't see that one coming. I was out and happy to have new frames. Discloser, for all you out there with, no glasses were actually hurt, bent passed their limits, or caused any undo stress. This is my “Cup of Tee” sporting two black eyes. I guess it's the new sunglass effect.
Healthcare Professionals’ Protest to Vaccine
On Monday of this week, over 1,400 people gathered at St. Luke’s Medical Center in Meridian to protest employer mandated COVID-19 vaccinations. The effort was led by healthcare professionals employed by St. Luke’s and St. Alphonsus. Both healthcare providers announced on the same day they would terminate any employee who hasn’t received the FDA-designated experimental treatment. “We are a group of healthcare professionals who don’t believe it’s appropriate for employers to mandate experimental medical treatments. Some of us have chosen to get the vaccine prior to the announced directive. However, healthcare is designed to be a collaborative process and employer-mandated treatment betrays that process. This is bad policy for the community and it’s unethical for healthcare providers who should know better.” Victoria Stump said.
