NAPA Auto Parts Comes to Wendell Idaho Rodeo
This Saturday, August 1st, NAPA Auto Parts of Wendell is set to open its doors at 460 North Idaho in Wendell. This store is the latest in a group of regional NAPA stores owned by Bob Dyson, headquartered in Twin Falls. Under the leadership of Wendell
resident Sheena Raidiger, this store will strive to provide an experienced team of parts professionals that has been part of NAPA for over 50 years. NAPA carries parts for automotive, agriculture, heavy duty and lawn and garden. They also make hydraulic hoses to order. In addition to regular parts service out of the NAPA Distribution Center, NAPA Wendell will also get daily parts shuttle service out of the Dyson NAPA Warehouse in Twin Falls. Store hours will be Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. until 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 until 5. You can call ahead for parts at 208-536-6118.
The Myth of Food Expiration Dates If you had three bags of groceries and dropped one of them on the way to your car, would you turn around and pick it up before going home? While that might seem like a silly question, Americans waste that much food (or more) every year by either throwing it away or by refusing to buy food that is less than perfect. Our landfills are literally filled with mountains of perfectly eatable food. That wasted food (which costs $100 billion annually to produce) could completely eliminate hunger in America, but we are a na-
tion full of misconceptions regarding what is safe to eat and what is not. A large amount of the food we waste is due to the myth of “expiration dates.” With the exception of infant formula and baby food, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) DOES NOT require food dates - this information is entirely at the discretion of manufacturers. Additionally, stores are not legally required to remove food from the shelf once the expiration date has passed. Meat is the one product you should pay attention to the package date, unless you freeze it. Freezing will pre-
serve meat for 6 months or longer. With the advent of ultra-pasteurization, most dairy products can last well beyond the date printed on the package. If stored at or below 40°F, unopened milk will still be good 7-10 days after the date. Eggs are good for at least a month if refrigerated. Canned foods may lose a bit of aesthetic appeal over time, but an undamaged can will last practically forever. As you can see, the safety of food is all about how you store it once you get it home. So, don’t waste your food, eat it. For more information, goto www.eatbydate.com

Car camping isn’t anything new. Henry Ford liked to enjoy the outdoors in his motor cars. Many of his rides were overnight stays. As more people were able to get cars, they were able to move from one place to another if only to camp. In the 1960’s freeways were connecting the United States in such a way that there was always something new to see. The national, state, and local areas, as well as parks were destination stays. The sixties and seventies saw the perfect car camping rig... the station wagon. Many tent companies even made tents to hook on the car making a mini-house. The larger vans in essence were like small motor homes. In the eighties, the minivan became the station wagon and van combined. The nine passenger van gave you the sleeping room and storage to haul stuff as well. The nineties gave us small cars that were cheaper on fuel. Car camping was a little more compact. Today we have SUVs with DVDs and all kinds of plug-ins for those extra gadgets to camp with. Car camping is fun. Limited stay time, cash flow, or camping spaces, make car camping do-able. Following is a check-list for the car camping adventure. First of all, you need a car. Without the car you are basically bicycling, hiking, backpacking, running, or motorhoming. A spare tire that isn’t flat sure helps situations. It helps you from being stranded or forced to go back home. Generally you will be off the road a little ways. Road hazards are everywhere! A plan or schedule given to others is very beneficial. Having water or obtaining good water is a must. Be sure to have enough for drinking, cooking, cleaning, and a sponge bath. Water should be hauled in strong containers with good lids. Clothes for temperature changes are advised. Whether you fold down the seat, lay on an air mattress, or sleep outside, blankets and sleeping bags fill the bill. Good time to use your favorite quilt. Meals should be planned in such a way that they overlap in use. In other words, some of one meal is part of the next. This saves extra space needed in your cooler. It also saves from spoiling. Combining containers of items can save space. Some items can be double containered to stop spilling. On such item is cooking oil. Your car camping can sure be ruined if grease is all over clothes and food. A flashlight, or I should say multiple flashlights, sure help find things in the dark or in stacked supplies. They also help to check the time at 3:15 a.m. You still have more time to enjoy sleep. There are great adventures in car camping. Tee This is my “Cup of Tee” overnight. Hurd
the Courier News ~ 888-934-1862 The Cold War on Russian Knapweed ...but never Compromising the Truth.
by The Camas Bug Crew Just when we thought the cold war was over, mother Russia decided to try one last invasion. This invasion is of the weed variety, known as the Russian Knapweed. With so many Knapweeds to keep track of, it’s important to know the phenology and characteristics of this plant. 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 became 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. It is interesting that Russian Knapweed is the only knapweed with black roots. Russian knapweed forms dense infestations across 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 foe baseline monitoring data prior to agent release will be necessary to document biological control agent impacts. Now you know what to look for it is important to keep this noxious weed at bay in Camas County. Russian knapweed is well established in Lincoln, Jerome, and Gooding Counties. This invader in poised to infect Camas County if care isn’t taken to stop its transport by animals, feed crops, or vehicles. Unfortunately it also transports itself by natural means such as wind, or birds eating the seeds and then leaving the seeds in a new location through their droppings. The Bug Crews in Southern Idaho are excited to be using a new bio control agent known as Jaapiella ivannikovi (JAIV). The Idaho State Department of Agriculture, in with the Universiry of Idaho, Nez Pierce Biological Center, and federal land management agencies, has developed the Standard Impact Monitoring Protocol (SIMP )to enable land managers to take a more active role in pre-release monitoring in preparation for the new biological control agents JAIV, a gall midge and Aulacidea acroptilonica (AUAC), a gall wasp, and its proposed target weed, Russian knapweed (Acroptilon repens). This monitoring protocol was designed to be implemented by land managers in a timely manner while providing pre-release monitoring data which will enable researchers and land managers to accurately quantify the impact of JAIV and AUAC once they are released. Between the combined efforts of the Camas Bug Crew, the BLM, the Forest Service, the US Department of Agriculture, and county weed agencies, hopeful ly we can put the final nail in the coffin of the cold war this time.

...Fish Salvage continued
River below Magic Reservoir Dam and in the Richfield Canal System will be killed as the water level drops and conditions become unsuitable. A public fish salvage has been declared for the Big Wood River below Magic Reservoir from the old railroad trestle located about 1.25 miles downstream from Magic Dam to the Gooding County line. General fishing rules still apply in the Big Wood River between the Magic Dam and the railroad trestle. Several springs in this river section will allow fish to survive until the water is restored. Also open to fish salvage include the Richfield Canal from the canal diversion downstream to the Gooding County line and the Richfield and Lincoln Canal systems. In these waters, bag, possession and size limits are removed effective Saturday, July 25 through November 1, 2015. Fish may be taken by any method except firearms, explosives, chemicals or electric current. A valid fishing license is required to harvest fish under a public salvage operation. For more information, contact Fish and Game’s Magic Valley Region Office at 208-324-4359.
