Country Pride, County Wide
Next Tuesday, August 1st, is the deadline to have your Pole & Window displays ready for judging. Local businesses are encouraged to decorate their windows or put up a display to reflect this year’s Fair Theme: Country Pride, County Wide. If you have driven through downtown Fairfield recently, you may wonder how that might work given the construction. While the powerpoles are gone, there is (or will be) plenty of brand new sidewalk to set up displays and to park your chairs for the parade which will take place on Saturday, August 5th. If you have locally grown produce, crafts, painting, photography, etc. bring it in to the American Legion Hall on Wednesday, August 2nd, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. It’s okay to show off... a little. August 3rd (Thursday) is Family Night & Bingo in the City Park preceded by the Bike Parade at 5:45 p.m. Kids are invited to the school playground at 5:15 to decorate their bikes for the ride. The 4H Dog Show will be held on Friday, August 4th, at 9 a.m. That evening is the Community Potluck Picnic at 6 p.m. Bring a main dish, salad, or dessert, as well as your own plates and utensils. Lawn chairs and/or blankets are good too. The Camas County 4H Livestock events will take place on Saturday, August 5th, beginning at 8 a.m.

Gooding Historical Society at the County Fair
It is coming on to Fair Time for the year. The Gooding County Fair is scheduled for August 14th-19th. We have some Premium Books at the Museum, and I am sure that they are also available at the Fair Office. This year’s fair theme is “Sew It, Grow It, Show It”. Speaking for the antiques, there are seven hundred ninety three different categories that you can enter into. So as a challenge to everyone out there, bring in at least one item and we will have a huge display this year. As a reminder, bring in the mailing labels for use on the tickets and save yourself some time and/or hand cramps when filling out the tickets. After our board meeting on August 12th (10 am at the Museum), we will head out to the fair grounds to clean the antiques building, in preparation for the fair. We will be changing out some of the display cases between the museum and the fair building. If you have some time and want to help set up, give us a call for times or just come to the board meeting and we’ll all go out together. Gooding County History Book Volume III I am still harping on everyone here and everyone else that we want to get our history book updated. We need any and all family histories, new or old, for the book. If you have a family history in the book and would like to update it, please bring in a copy or e-mail a copy to the museum. If you would like for us to write it up for you, give us a call, we will record your history, then type it up. When we are done with that, we will have you critique the copy, then submit it. If you have any questions, please contact us at the museum or give any of the board members a call. Membership Our membership is dwindling. We need new people to join the Historical Society. We are also in need of volunteers for our projects. With our membership getting older, nor as active as before, we need an infusion of people. Our memberships are relatively cheap. A single membership is only $15 per year. A couples membership is $25 per year. If you would like a lifetime membership it is $500 a person or $600 for a couple. Come support and be a member of your Gooding County Historical Society and help carry on and preserve our past. After all, this is your museum. Come join us while we are open - 10 to 4 on Fridays and Saturdays (or by appointment). We still have our coffee pot going, so come sit, visit, and have a cup on us. We also have hot chocolate. email: goodingcountymuseum@yahoo.com Phone #: (208) 934-5318

Dealing with Diffuse Knapweed
by the Camas Bug Crew
Diffuse knapweed, you may pass by this plant every day and think about how lovely the flowers look when they bloom, but stop this sort of thinking. This weed is pretty high on the noxious list. This aggressive weed is fast at reproducing and will take over our beautiful natural prairie. The bug crew is here to save the day once again! With one of our best biological control bugs yet, Cyphcleonus achates. Diffuse knapweed is a biennial or short lived, perennial reproducing entirely by seed and producing up to 18,000 seeds per plant. Flowers occur singly or in clusters, bloom from July to September and may be white, pink or lavender. The bracts of the Flower heads are tipped with a long, slender spine fringed with smaller spines. Seeds are blackishbrown with vertical brown and gray stripes and about 0.1 inches long. Stems are typically 6 inches to 2 feet tall with deeply divided leaves. Diffuse knapweed prefers welldrained, light textured soils and is intolerant of shade. This plant is

common along roadsides, at disturbed sites, biological control agents have been approved for release for the knapweed complex, which includes diffuse knapweed. Cyphocleonus achates is a robust biological control agent that can attack spotted (preferred host) and diffuse knapweeds. Cyphocleoenus achates overwinter as larvae in roots, where they mine the vascular tissue and reproduce knapweed density. Cyphocleoenus achates adults emerge from June to mid-September and feed on knapweed leaves. The adults are 0.5 to 0.6 inches long and generally live 8 to 15 weeks. Each female deposits more than 100 eggs during her lifetime. Eggs hatch in 10 to 12 days and larvae begin feeding on roots. If you spot this dangerous, yet beautiful noxious weed, the Bug Crew will be there with their secret weapon, Cyphocleonus Achates. Stop Diffused Knapweed before it takes over the Prairie. In order for us to release Cyphocleonus achates, the area must not be grazed, cultivated, sprayed, mowed, and not have any other major disturbances. Call the Bug Crew at 316-0355.

Wolf Trapper Certification Courses Offered
By Mike Demick, Conservation Information Supervisor Trappers are reminded that Idaho rules require trappers to successfully complete a Wolf Trapper Certification course before they can purchase wolf trapping tags. Courses are offered periodically throughout the year, but few are taught during trapping seasons as the instructors are trappers who are out in the field running their own trap lines. The course includes 6.5 hours of instruction including both classroom and field experience followed by a written exam. Upcoming courses will be held at: Salmon - Aug. 12, IDFG Office Lewiston - Sept. 8 & 9 (two courses) IDFG Office Nampa - Sept. 9, IDFG Fisheries Research Building Coeur d’ Alene - Sept. 22 & 23 (two courses) IDFG Office Course costs are $8 per student, and advanced registration is required. Individuals interested in completing the class can register online. Registrants must be at least 9 years of age to take the course. Students who successfully complete the wolf trapping course receive an Idaho Wolf Trapper Certification Card that enables them to purchase wolf trapping tags. Certified wolf trappers may purchase up to five gray wolf trapping tags per trapping season. Anyone with questions about the Wolf Trapper Certification course are encouraged to contact the nearest Fish and Game office, or consult Fish and Game’s website by going to Education/Hunter Education and view the trapper education question and answer section.

Next Monday, July 31st, the Camas County Commissioners will hold a public hearing at 2 p.m. to address private airports. The main purpose of the proposed change is to bring existing private airports and/or landing fields into compliance with the county’s zoning ordinance (see page 7). This simple issue, however, has become a referendum (at least for some) on stopping the vague possibility that all of this is a secret conspiracy to relocated the Hailey airport to Camas County. Let’s be absolutely clear... THAT IS NOT HAPPENING! Yes, there are legitimate reasons why the Hailey airport should be relocated (somewhere), but that is really up to the politicians in Blaine County. Certainly, there is a large percentage of people in Blaine County that support moving the airport, but there is a political divide between North Blaine and South Blaine. Until the political pendulum swings in favor of the pro-move camp, nothing is going to happen. So, how do you move the pendulum? One way to do so is for news media to publish/broadcast multiple articles about the subject, which has been happening in the Idaho Mountain Express. While the quality of the information in those articles is questionable and has almost no relationship to what is going on in Camas County, it does feed the “move the airport” crowd in Blaine County. It also increases the possibility that someone might “speculate” in Camas County land. Over the last decade, land and home prices in Camas County and Idaho have been depressed (relative to the previous decade). Wouldn’t it be great if you could convince someone that a large commercial airport was going to be built at a particular location, and then have that someone buy your adjacent property for three or four times its current value. If you live in Camas County and you are an airport supporter (private or otherwise), the County Commissioners need to hear from you... at a public hearing. So far, these hearings have been dominated by anti-airport voices. While these individuals have every right to voice their opinions, the public hearing process has not been balanced. If can’t be there, write a short letter. It’s your county, make your voice heard.

Cleanup on aisle eight. You probably have heard something similar while shopping in a grocery store if you have kids. As the kids are riding in the shopping cart, sometimes they grab things off the counters. Being only a “short” arm’s reach away, they may not be able to get a good grip. Grocery stores are stocked for maximum saleability. The kids favorite cereal, toys and other products are stationed at the kid’s eye level. These become impulse buys or reminder purchases. (Mom, we need this at home!) Those end caps in the store usually have a larger profit margin for the store, or they make products so noticeable that a large volume of said product is sold. Did you ever notice upon entering a store that the bread or bakery is usually near the front of the store? The smell of fresh baked products causes things to be triggered in your brain to make you a slight bit hungry, or they relax you a little making more sells. No one usually want their bread to be on the bottom of the shopping cart. Therefore, the shopper comes back to the bread of the second glance and purchase. Flowers are usually at the front of the store as well. They kind of have an aroma effect similar to bread. Milk, on the other hand, is usually in the rear of the store causing you to pass by more items to get fresh milk. Even smaller floor tiles have an effect on how you shop. The clippity clop of the wheels of the shopping cart causes the buyer to slow down to reduce the noise, thus spending more time shopping. Some-

times the notorious bad wheel will do the same thing! The shopping cart designed in 1937 not only holds a lot, but it causes consumers to fill empty holes. That idea was capitalized by our ancestral need to gather food. Featured items may merely have attention brought to them. They may be selling a regular price, but stocked out of their normal shelf space to look featured. Per customer limits create increase sells because customer are afraid they might not get the product advertised. The same goes for goods being sold at a certain percentage off. Generally, these percentages are off the manufacturers suggested retail price, not necessarily the store’s shelf price. Coupons are great money savers, but often they cause consumers to buy products they don’t really need. Reward programs keep you so focused on receiving the rewards that sometimes one forgets to do competitive or comparison shopping. 80% of shoppers are right-handed. The counters are set up so the higher margin items are on the right side of the shopping path. Most are a little more eye level based. If you are wanting to conserve a little, shop in the opposite direction of the main flow. If you hear cleanup on aisle eight, you may have me going in the wrong direction. This is my “Cup of Tee” on a different cart.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING FOR CAMAS COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN: on Monday, the 31th day of July, 2017 at 2:00PM or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, the Board of Commissioners of Camas County will hold a public hearing at the Camas County Senior Center, 125 Willow Ave West, Fairfield, Idaho, to receive a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission in accordance with Section 67-6509 and 67-6511, Idaho Code. The purpose of this hearing is for the public as well as the Board of Commissioners to hear the recommendation to adopt and move private aircraft landing field or airports from 2-4A-3, Conditional Uses to 2-4A-4 Principal Designated Uses and add “and registered with the FAA”. A copy of the draft document is available at the Camas County Planning and Zoning Office. A general summary of this provision of the Zoning Ordinance, Title 2, is as follows: The commission recommends the Board of Commissioners adopt and move private aircraft landing field or airports from 2-4A-4, Conditional Uses to 2-4A-3 Principal Designated Uses and add “and registered with the FAA”. This would allow private airports to be built in the Ag-80 zone. This allows the existing airports and landing fields to be in compliance with the zoning ordinance and no longer makes them non-conforming uses. Therefore under section 2-4A-3, Principal Designated Uses shall read “Airports, private, and registered with the FAA”. Written comments will be received by the Planning & Zoning Administrator until 5:00 p.m. on July 25, 2016. Testimony at the hearing may be limited to five (5) minutes. Services for persons with disabilities may be made available by calling the Planning & Zoning Administrator at 764-2046 three days in advance of the hearing. Dwight H. Butlin
