Ramp Closures at I-84 Exit 141 for US-30 Pavement Repair
The Idaho Transportation Department is having ramp closures at Exit 141, both on and off ramps, for up to two weeks during work to rehabilitate the pavement on US-30. Closure of the ramps will ensure the work is completed more efficiently and for the safety of the work crews.
During the daytime ramp closures at Exit 141, all drivers will be detoured to Exit 137 about four miles west of Bliss. Ramps at Exit 141 will be opened as work concludes each day; impacts are expected to be complete by July 29.
The ramp closures are part of a project to extend the life of US-30 through Bliss by recycling the existing asphalt, adding cement to better stabilize the roadway base, and repaving the roadway. Construction on US-30 through Bliss is expected to be completed in early fall.

Stage 1 Fire Restrictions Sawtooth National Forest
The Sawtooth National Forest and Idaho Department of Lands Has initiated Stage 1 fire restrictions within the National Forest System lands boundaries on the Sawtooth and Cassia zones effective Wednesday, July 17th.
The purpose of the restrictions is to reduce the potential for human-caused ignitions.
“Our fire danger rating right now is Very High, and, with the abnormally dry, hot conditions and record low fuel moisture levels we’re seeing, we project it will soon be Extreme,” said Sawtooth National Forest Fire Management Officer Andrew Addey. “Nationally, demand for firefighting resources, equipment, and aviation assets is higher than normal, which also limits our ability to order resources for any new fires that may start.”
The Bureau of Land Management will not be implementing Stage 1 fire restrictions at this time. Conditions on lands managed by the BLM have not met the criteria laid out in the Idaho Fire Restrictions Plan.
The Sawtooth Zone encompasses lands north of Highway 20 to the northern most Sawtooth National Forest boundary situated in Blaine, Camas, and portions of Custer, Elmore, and Boise counties. The Cassia Zone encompasses lands south of interstate highways 84 and 86 to the Idaho/Utah/ Nevada border, east of Highway 93 to the Cassia County/ Onieda County line. A map detailing where restrictions will be implemented is posted to the Sawtooth National Forest’s Alerts & Closures page.
Stage 1 fire restrictions will apply to all National Forest System lands administered by all districts on the Sawtooth National Forest as well as all state, state endowment, and private land in the North Sawtooth Restrictions Zone that lie within the boundary of the Sawtooth National Forest.
Under these restrictions, campfires are allowed only in recreation sites within metal or concrete fire pits. Fires of any kind are not allowed in any dispersed camping areas.
The restrictions will remain in effect until there is a significant change in fire danger. If conditions moderate, the Forest will consider lifting restrictions earlier.

Wrangling Russian Knapweed
by Camas Bug Crew
Many people joke about the dark soul of Russian knapweed. Actually, Russian knapweed is the only knapweed with a black root. This makes it very easy to identify. Interestingly, Russian knapweed is probably the least prickly of all the knapweeds. The thorns on its flower head are not nearly as aggressive as other species of other knapweed. This article will highlight the characteristics of Russian knapweed and its two predator insects a gall midge and a gall wasp.
Russian knapweed is a perennial plant that reproduces mainly by creeping roots. In addition, a single plant is capable of producing more than 1,200 seeds. These seeds vary in color from gray to ivory and are produced from August through September. The erect stems are openly branched and typically 45 to 90 cm tall. The leaves are oblong on the upper part of the plant and become deeply lobed the closer they are to the root crown. Russian knapweed produces many flowers which range in color from pink to blue. Flowering typically begins in June and continues through September. Russian knapweed forms dense infestations acoss habitat types in the arid West. It is a significant pest of rangelands, roadsides, waste areas, and can invade grain and other crops. Recently, JAIV and AUAC were approved for release by the Animal plant health Inspection Service (APHIS). Establishing SIMP sites for baseline monitoring data prior to agent release will be necessary to document biological control agent impacts.
There are two biological control agents Jaapiella ivannikovi, a gall midge and Aulacidea acroptilonica, a gall wasp,used to target weed, Russian Knapweed. This monitoring protocol was designed to be implemented by land managers in a timely manner while providing release monitoring data which will enable researchers and land managers to accurately quantify the impact of JAIV and AUAC since they were released.
This knapweed species is moving forward rapidly in southern Idaho. Although it is sparse in Camas county at this time, we all need to be vigilant in repelling this invader from taking root here and getting established. If you are aware of new Russian knapweed infestations, please give Terry Lee a call at the Camas County Weed Department 208-764-351.

Cameron Stacey Duggan
One of Jehovah's Witnesses; A husband, son, brother and friend; An old soul, a cowboy and a truck driver.
This was how Cameron described himself but to those of us who loved him he was all of those things and so much more. He had a lifetime of health problems but he never let it stop him. Due to those health problems his body was tired. He fell asleep in death at St. Luke's hospital in Twin Falls, Idaho on Friday, July 12th. He had strong faith in Jehovah, the Creator, the One who made all things and in His son Jesus Christ. Cameron also had faith the resurrection hope and looked forward to the time when the words of Isaiah 35:6 will be fulfilled here on the earth. "At that time the lame will leap like the deer..." We can look forward to seeing him again in Paradise.
Cameron was born March 19th, 1977 to Jim and Terry Duggan. He was married in 2016 to Joedi. His sister-in-law Genevive, and two nieces, Malaree and Maliah, lost his brother Destry to death last year. We will miss all of the "Duggan Brothers".

Barbara Ann Grover
April 25, 1938 – March 2, 2024
Our Mother, Barbara Ann Grover (Selander), age 85, passed away in the grace of peace, on March 2nd, 2024, in Wellington, Utah. Born on April 25, 1938, in Salt Lake City, Utah, she lived a life marked by love and was the most loving and generous person that we ever knew. She always had a smile on her face and a kind word for everyone. She was the heart and soul of our family, and she touched the lives of many people with her warmth and compassion.
She leaves behind a legacy of life and love in her children Dean (Yvonne), Paul, Lynn (Paula), Shauna (Mark), Jodie (Rick), and so many others whom she considered her children. As the matriarch of a large family, her guidance was the compass for her 14 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren, providing a source of endless comfort and joy. Her sister Diana remains, to honor Barbara's memory and the shared bond of sisterhood.
Barbara has been reunited with those who journeyed ahead: her parents Ken and Grace (McIntyre) Selander, her brothers David and Ken, her sister Maureen, her deeply missed husband Lynn, and the two grandchildren who left too soon.
Barbara held many jobs in her lifetime, some of which were a florist, a department store clothing buyer, a park manager, a bartender, and a bouncer but her true passion was teaching. She taught in Hagerman, Idaho for 9 years and Wendell, Idaho for over 15 years. She was passionate about her work as a teacher, and she dedicated her life to helping others. She was respected and admired by her colleagues and the children she taught. She was always eager to learn new things and improve her skills.
She never stopped growing as a person, a teacher, and a giver. She was also a wonderful mother, wife, sister, and truly a special friend to all she encountered. She loved everyone unconditionally and supported all of us in everything that we did. She was our biggest cheerleader and our best confidant. She taught us how to be strong, brave, and honest, and how to appreciate the beauty and the joy of life. She was always there for us, no matter what.
She was an amazing woman, and we are so proud and grateful to have had her in our lives. She will never be forgotten. She will always live in our hearts and memories, and we will honor her legacy by following her example and spreading her love.
In her passing, Barbara leaves behind the rich legacy of her love and the cherished memories woven into the fabric of her family's history. She will be deeply missed and eternally revered, a testament to a life well-lived and a soul that enriched all whom it touched.
We miss her terribly, but we know she is in a better place, watching over us and smiling. She is truly an Angel now, as she was always in life. We end with a quote Mom always said and believed: “What you think about, you bring about.” We Love You Deeply, Mom.
A celebration of Life for Barbara Ann Grover will be held Saturday, July 27th, 2024, at 1:00 P.M. at 1,000 Springs Resort, 18734 HWY 30, Hagerman, Idaho.
Please come help us honor this remarkable woman. There will be an open mic, so make sure to bring your wonderful memories and stories to share with everyone. There will also be music, food, laughter, and “snorts”, and in honor of Barb’s vibrant spirit, we encourage you to wear red, as this was her favorite color.
In order to ensure we can accommodate everyone, kindly RSVP by text to Lynn @ (208) 539-4869, or Paula (801) 995-1152.
