News Just in Time for the Fair
As folks flock into Fairfield for this year’s fantastic fair, they will be in for a pleasant surprise, especially if they haven’t been to Fairfield in a while. The Fairfield City Council has been working for several years to get a Downtown Revitalization project on the ground to replace the deteriating sidewalks, and to complete the change over from power pole lighting to lamp posts. The new lamp posts will not be in place for this weekend, but the fresh new sidewalks will make things safer for pedestrians in the downtown area. The new sidewalks and new ramps at the post office and the old courthouse will also make it much easier for handicaped individuals to access those facilities. This project is being funded by a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), a Rural Community Block Grant (RCBG), in-kind labor by the City, and private donations. Total cost of this project will be a little over $400,000. While the curent project covers most of Soldier Road from Garnet Avenue to Ponderosa, there are plans to continue this project with additional funding to include the area south towards Highway 20, and over time, possibly to the north. This Thursday afternoon (August 3rd) 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. with 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. This year’s parade will feature Grand Marshalls, Jeff & Carol Rast, starting at 1 p.m. (entrants should line up at the football field at 12:30). Saturday evening events downtown include Main Street Bull Riding at 6 p.m. and the Street Dance at 9 p.m. On Sunday, come to Church in the Park from 10:30 to noon and listen to music and message by Ron Geer. From 1 to 4 the Rocky Mountain Riders will fill the park with music. Be sure to check out the various fundraising activities, including the Camas Library Foundation’s annual raffle (tickets can be purchased on Saturday for $5.00 each or 5 for $20). The Cancer Society Silent auction will be on Saturday from 10 to 3:30 in the park. And of course, the American Legion Breakfasat from 8 to 11 on Sunday.

Hazardous Algae Blooms at Thorn Creek Reservoir
A health advisory was issued Saturday, July 26th, by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and South Central Public Health District (SCPHD) for Thorn Creek Reservoir, which sits on the boundary of Gooding, Lincoln, and Camas Counties. DEQ reported that the reservoir has exceeded the criteria for recommending a public health advisory. Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, are ubiquitous in our environment but a few species are known to produce toxins that pose a threat to humans and other animals, particularly canines.
The public is advised to take the following precautions: • Avoid exposure to water experiencing a harmful algal bloom. Take extra precautions to ensure children, pets, and livestock are not exposed to the water. • Pets that are inadvertently exposed should be washed immediately and thoroughly with fresh water taking care not to allow them to clean themselves after exiting the affected water. • Do not consume water with a blue-green algae bloom. Neither boiling nor disinfecting removes blue-green algae toxins from water. • If fish are known to have been exposed to a blue-green algae bloom, only consume the fillet portion (remove the fat, organs, and skin). Wash hands after handling. The risk associated with consuming fish caught in waters with a blue-green algae bloom is unknown. Toxins produced by blue-green algae can accumulate in the organs of fish.
SCPHD, Public Health Program Manager, Josh Jensen stated, “Exposure to cyanobacterial HAB toxins may result in life-threatening problems such as, decreased movement, labored breathing, convulsions, muscle spasms, liver damage, neurological issues, and possible death.” HABs develop when specific types of photosynthetic bacteria bloom, at times forming dense visible mats. These can occur in rivers, lakes, and ponds. Typically these conditions occur during the warmer months of summer and early fall. More information is available at www.deq.idaho.gov

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.
Effects of Airports on Land Value
There have numerous studies on the effects of airports on land prices, and depending on the type of land use and the type of airport, the effects can be both positive and negative. In general, if you take a house in the immediate vicinity of an airport and transport it to an equivalent location without an airport, it will increase in market value by about 10%. This increase in value can be as much as 18%, but only for higher priced homes. A study in Washington state (1996) found that a proposed expansion of SeaTac Airport would cost nearly $500 million in property values and $22 million in property tax revenue. On the other hand, airports attract development. Prior to the 1990’s the Portland-Hillsboro Airport in Oregon was almost completely surrounded by open farmland. Today, that same area is mostly single-family residential homes. The transition from bare land to residential increased property values several times over. More recently (2012) in Sydney, Australia, the mere announcement of a second airport in that city started a boom in residential land values. Over the last five years home values in the area of the proposed airport have nearly doubled. The conclusion of these airport studies is that airports affect property values both positively and negatively. People want to be near airports
for jobs (directly and indirectly associated with airports), but they don’t like the noise. So, how much noise it too much? The SeaTac study mentioned above found that, “all other things remaining equal, the value of a house and lot increases by about 3.4% for every quarter of a mile the house is away from being directly underneath the flight track of departing/approaching jet aircraft.” That means that homes located at least 3/4 of a mile off the flight path suffered no decrease in property value. Of course, all of these examples are from large city airports. If the facility is a private rural airport or has other limiting factors (gravel vs. pavement), the negative effects are reduced. In the case of Soldier Field Airport, there is only one existing home in the direct flight path of the runway. All other homes in that area are more than 3/4 mile off the flight path or more than three miles from the end of the runway. That does not mean that property values on the east end of Camas County will not be adversely affected. Straight empirical data does not always paint the entire picture, especially in the area of personal aesthetic desires. However, since nearly all of the land surrounding Soldier Field Airport is open farmland, the primary effect on property values (if any) will most likely be positive.
...but never Compromising the Truth.
Hounds Tongue; One Sticky Weed
by the Camas Bug Crew Is it possible for a weed to be the inspiration for a product we use every day? Is it rumored that Hounds Tongue was the model for all the velcro products we use today. Sticking repeatedly to people’s shoes, pants, and dogs; Hounds Tongue is a thorn in everyone’s side. Hounds Tongue is a short-lived plant that reproduces by seed. These seeds stick easily to fur, hair, and wool. Each plant produces 500 seeds, which are made up of four prickly nutlets, each approximately one centimeter long. Hounds Tongue’s reddish-purple flowers bloom from June through August. Hounds Tongue spreads quickly, overtaking pastures and rangeland. It colonizes disturbed sites and heavily grazed areas. It is poisonous to livestock and horses. The savior to our problems with Hounds Tongue is Mogulones borraginis (MUBO).
MUBO is a seed-feeding weevil. It is in quarantine currently with U.S. Department of Agriculture to make sure that it will only go after Hounds Tongue. Once it is released we can begin using it on Hounds Tongue that is spreading through the area. Currently the Bug Crew is in search of monitoring sites in anticipation of when we can release MUBO. This velcro-like weed will continue to terrorize people and animals until MUBO is released from quarantine. Until then, watch out. If you find a sizable patch of Hounds Tongue, please contact the Bug Crew. Make sure that the area is not sprayed, grazed, mowed, cultivated, etc. If the area meets all the requirements; please call the Camas Bug Crew at 316-0354.
West Nile Virus In Gooding County
South Central Public Health District (SCPHD) officials and the Twin Falls County Pest Abatement District (TFCPAD) have confirmed a West Nile Virus positive mosquito pool in Gooding County. The mosquitos were caught in district traps in the Hagerman area. No human or animal cases have been reported at this time. “West Nile is a potentially serious illness that is usually spread to animals and humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. Most people infected with West Nile do not show symptoms,” says Tanis Maxwell, SCPHD Nurse Program Manager. “However, people with symptoms may experience fever, headaches, body aches, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, eye pain, and sometimes swollen lymph glands or a skin rash typically occurring 2 to 14 days after the bite of an infected mosquito. More severe infections may involve the central nervous system.” “TFCPAD traps mosquitoes throughout the
1-888-934-1862 • Wednesday, August 2, 2017 • The Courier NEWS
Magic Valley during the summer to test for the virus. Some species are more prone to carrying diseases than others and we try to focus our work on those species. We are increasing the surveillance in the area of the positive pools.” says Kirk Tubbs, TFCPAD Manager. SCPHD reminds individuals to protect themselves and their families from mosquito bites: DRAIN any standing water on your property that may produce mosquitoes. AVOID the outdoors at dawn and dusk. DRESS appropriately by wearing long sleeves and pants when outdoors. DEFEND yourself by using a mosquito repellent containing an EPA-registered active ingredient, such as DEET (follow label directions). MAKE SURE door and window screens are in good condition to prevent mosquitoes from entering your home. For more information on West Nile Virus, visit SCPHD’s website at phd5.idaho.gov.

Governor C.L. ”Butch” Otter proclaimed July 29, 2017 to be Idaho Rodeo Hall of Fame Day and with the Idaho Rodeo Hall of Fame’s new location at the Jerome Historical Society I-Farm. The 2017 IRHF Inductions had a sell-out crowd at the Canyon Crest Dining and Event Center with over 300 attendees enjoying the inductions and the annual IRHF Boots and Spurs Cowboy and Cowgirl Reunion this year. The event was sponsored by DL Evans, TEC Distributing-Coors and Canyon Crest. KMVT Channel 11 News interviewed Vice President and KBAR 1230 AM Radio Announcer Zeb Bell at the Reunion and Tough Enough To Give Cancer The Boot Pink Event and again at the Inductions. One of the participants at the LeaVell Fairfield Soldier Creek Ranch Rodeo held in 1948 was
again acknowledged at the Idaho Rodeo Hall of Fame July 29th inductions. That person was 11 times World Champion, Dean Oliver. This year’s Inductees that were posthumously inducted was Steer Wrestler and Calf Roper Harry Charters and Spur Rowell Rodeo Producers Jake and Katherine Pope and their award winning bucking horse Bingo. Fellow Inductees were John and Lisa Davis, Larry and Kay Davis, Harry Hamilton, Dean Oliver, Larry and Sue Ellen Smith, Gary and Bev Stone, Johnny Urrutia and Charmy LeaVell of Gooding. Of the 16 inductees, 10 are from Idaho and 6 are from Oregon that rodeoed extensively in Idaho. Two new board members were also introduced, IRHF Director Bob Humphrey of Jerome, ID and Karrie Ricketts of Kimberly, ID.
Dear Editor, I have read the articles and editor notes contained in the Courier and I would like to be given the opportunity to respond. First, I would like to state the opponents of allowing an Airport with an 8500’ runway, without a Conditional Use Permit, in no way, shape or form feel this is personal against Mr Willis. It is simply logical, that a project with an FAA airspace application indicating the possibility of a long paved runway, intense lighting and hundreds of flights per month be scrutinized for negative impacts. In the case of a private airport, that can only be done by requiring a CUP. By requiring such a permit, any deficiencies or negative impacts can be addressed and when possible, a mitigation plan implemented. The requiring of a CUP DOES NOT mean the project is dead. It simply allows intelligent and educated dialogue between the County and the project. Who would be against that logic? Why would someone be against that idea? Fish and Game, the EPA and other agencies want to HELP. The CUP does not infringe on property owners rights as some have suggested. If that were the case a CUP could not exist. What about the property owner rights surrounding the project? Are you aware of what an Airport Overlay does to the options of a land owner? In your latest issue, you spoke of the hearings being dominated by opponents. These op-
ponents are concerned on a number of fronts, one of which is the County’s decision to put an ordinance in place without addressing it in the Comprehensive Plan first. This is required by law and is one of the reasons a lawsuit was filed and victorious. The Idaho Land Use Planning Guide specifically states addressing it in a Comp Plan IS A REQUIREMENT and then followed by an ordinance. The P&Z did attempt to address the Comp Plan after the fact, but it was soundly rejected as being too vague. We have the cart before the horse. Can we please correct this mistake? If we do not, we may find ourselves in more legal turmoil at the citizens expense. I would suggest that all parties take a step back and try to find common ground. Please read the Idaho Airport land Use Planning Guide that was not made available to the P&Z until recently. County Commissioners should also read it and the half dozen cross-referenced documents. After passing a Comp Plan addressing this matter, write an ordinance that defines different types or categories of private airports. This is something that is legal to do and recommended by at least one expert on the subject. A small private airstrip, used primarily for agricultural purposes would not require the same scrutiny as a private commercial airport. Very logical. “I find you humans to be quite illogical,” Mr Spock. Sincerely, Jeff Kreyssig

It has definitely been summer. The temperatures have been pretty warm. It seems when we have a hard winter, the summer follows with extra hot temperatures. To me these are the seasons we use to have. Spring thaws and runoffs were heavy due to heavy snows. What does Fall have in mind for us? (Hard to think about cause I’m still dealing with our warm summer.) Many of the rivers were just now able to float because of the debris from the spring runoff. With the floating being on a late season start, I hope everyone has had an opportunity to get in some other activities. Maybe you were able to go to the Mountain Home Music Festival outside the Pine/ Featherville Idaho exit. From what I understand, it had it’s own “Summer” or should I say “Idaho Summer” weather change. With the cool and hot air exchanges accompanied by the sister force - the wind - things got ugly on the first night’s concert. In fact, with all the tents blowing and rain, the first night was cancelled. I originally had tickets to go to the festival, but as some of you remember, I’m in the process of moving. I had to put a pass on my tickets so I could be at home. It’s sad I had to go that route, but don’t worry, I’ve not been without events to keep my on my toes. First of all, I started to pull one of my Farmall H tractors out of the weeds so I could haul it off. I knew the tire was bad, but I didn’t realize the calcium in tire had rotted the whole rim. As I pulled the tractor, I pulled the whole wheel and tire completely off the tractor. There I have a tractor sitting

down on one side. Slowly I continued to pull the tractor until I had a place where I could load it on my trailer. I threw a log down where the missing wheel was and loaded the tractor. I looked like Mr. Haney from the Green Acres TV show trying to pedal some equipment. I had lots of looks as I hauled the tractor it’s next temporary home. Once I got there, I looked at the tractor and said to myself, “To move this tractor around you are going to have to drag it with no tire and wheels. You don’t have a log here. Do you really want to do this?” I talked myself into another plan. I called another tractor puller comrade and offered to sell him the tractor. With a few pictures, we made the deal with me delivering it 40 more miles. Now it has a permanent home. When I started to pull my Mazda pickup on the trailer, I found the keys were gone with a locked steering wheel. To me, that is crazy! I don’t ever take the keys out of things. My keys are in every other rig I own. With the locked steering wheel, I had to do a lot of jack shifting to get it on the trailer. With the summer heat things could get irritating. I had to tell myself, “No one is physical hurt and today is a good day. All days are good, some are better than others.” This is my Cup of Summer Tee.
