...Sage-grouse & Sandhill Crane Tags continued

SAGE-GROUSE For the second consecutive year, Sage-grouse hunters in 2022 will have to buy a tag (or tags) designated for 12 hunting zones, and a total of 2,510 tags will be offered. Sage-grouse firearm season runs Sept. 17 through Oct. 31. Hunters can buy up to two tags and may buy a tag for more than one zone. The Sage-grouse tag system is designed to limit harvest to less than 10 percent of the estimated fall population in each of the 12 hunting zones. The number of Sage-grouse tags was increased for 2022.

Statewide Sage-grouse populations increased 26 percent in 2022 compared to 2021, but are still down 28 percent from 2016. Trends were up statewide in 2022, with modest increases across southern Idaho. Fish and Game officials expect to adjust tag numbers annually to maintain sustainable Sage-grouse hunting opportunities in Idaho. An updated Sage-grouse seasons and rules brochure, including number of tags available for each hunting zone, is available online.

SANDHILL CRANES There will be 610 Sandhill crane tags available for six hunting areas in Eastern Idaho.

Season runs September 1–15 or September 16–30 depending on tag type, which is determined by hunt area and season dates. Sandhill crane hunters are also required to purchase a Migratory Bird (HIP) Permit.

For seasons and rules for Sandhill cranes see the Migratory Game Bird Seasons and Rules webpage.

Cup of Tee

I missed last week of having a “Cup of Tee” in the paper. I didn’t miss the 100o middle of it. More so, I missed some "Ice" tea.

I was absent because I was hauling wheat to its shipping destination. I was hauling the grain in a ten wheel dump hoist truck. The doors that accommodate hauling silage corn were sealed shut to prevent leakage, and all I had was 12 inch square door to unload the wheat. The building I was delivering to was about three stories tall, tin roofed, and full of grain. With the existing 100o weather and the wheat putting off its own heat, things were warm. To add extra heat, I had to hand unload the remainder that wouldn’t go through the 12 inch opening.

As I looked at the wheat in the barn type shed, I wondered how much wheat it took to make a loaf of bread. The answer... I was told... was 60 loaves of bread to the bushel.

A bushel weighs 60 pounds. So, if my math serves me right, about a pound of grain per loaf of bread (which is a pound).

Somehow, the mathematics doesn’t seem to jive to me. You start with pound of material, process it, and still end up with a pound?

The loads of grain I deliver are about 25,000 pounds. That is a lot of bread with my truck loads alone, not counting the rest of the wheat in a 30 foot high building.

In our State of Idaho, we have diverse agricultural with lots of food products. Why are we not at the top of the list as far as hungerless families? Our state should lead with fewer hungry families. Once again, the math doesn’t work very well.

Maybe I’m not very good with math, but I think some basics were obtained during my school years.

Back to the bread, to get a pound from a pound, perhaps the fillers are the basis in which bread is weighed. Long years ago, bread and gasoline stayed close to the same price. Today, with the price of gasoline going up (and down) the ratio changes from day to day. Still bread and wheat stays the same ol’ purchase price year after year.

Maybe our government is giving us the “filler” and not the real scoop. At the Boston Tea Party the British were not invited to throw the tea overboard into the harbor to protest unfair tax “fillers.” Maybe we need to have a bread party... Yeah, a Bread Party! This time we should invite our leaders to join us. Instead of bread we could serve the “filler” on mussel shells or something similar. We the people could say, “but that is the way it is.” Maybe it won’t all be about the math, whereas we are all shorted. Maybe we need a little English too.

Pound for pound, this is my “Cup of Tee” on the short side.

Senators Risch & Crapo Praise Passage of Water Bill

U.S. Senators Jim Risch and Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) praised Senate passage of the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA). The legislation, which passed 93-1, will reinforce western water resilience and ensure the Army Corps of Engineers carries out water projects responsibly.

"It is critical we maintain the water facilities we already have, and I was proud to fight for language that protected the important energy, flood control, navigation, and irrigation benefits these Army Corps projects provide Idaho," said Risch. "More broadly, WRDA will ensure the West is equipped to meet water resource challenges through improvements in flood control, ports, and inland waterways."

"Good Neighbor Authority (GNA) plays a key part in preventing forest fires and is a prime example of what can be achieved when agencies work together to implement a shared vision of healthy, productive lands," Crapo said. "Collaboration between Senator Risch, Governor Brad Little, and me ensured this legislation will extend GNA to the Army Corps to protect more of Idaho's precious land."

Of particular importance to the Gem State, Risch and Crapo ensured the inclusion of an Idaho Good Neighbor Authority pilot project to reduce fire risk around projects in Idaho.

Risch also secured several other Idaho priorities in WRDA, including:  A study to improve domestic flood control capability in the Northwest and reduce reliance on Canada.  Channel maintenance to improve navigation capability at the Port of Lewiston.  Language to prevent a Columbia Basin ecosystem study from being used as a back door to advocate for dam breaching.

Carolyn Joan Carpenter

obit ua r ies

Carolyn Joan (Boyer) Carpenter, 77, of Gooding, Idaho, passed away peacefully at her home, July 24, 2022.

She was born on November 3, 1944, in Gooding, Idaho.

She was raised by her parents just outside of Gooding, Idaho on her father’s homestead. She attended Gooding Schools; she was in drill team, pep club, choir and in her freshman year she was a twirler graduating in 1964.

She married Larry Carpenter in 1973, and from this marriage they had three children - Larry Jr, Roy Alan, and Carrie. When she married Larry, she gained three step-daughters - Angie, Andrea and Lauri. Larry and her later divorced.

She was an avid bowler, bowling for Dean’s Repair for 20 years. She enjoyed going to tournaments and spending time with her friends (causing havoc and chaos with shenanigans). She did various things for work as an adult but the last place she worked was in the school cafeteria until she retired in 2005.

She had quite a few battles with cancer and won every time, even during the cancer she still found a way to make it fun. She dyed her hair all sorts of funny colors until it eventually fell out, she then resorted to fun wigs and even these quirky hats, one her grandchildren dubbed the ‘chicken hat’ because it resembled a chicken. She had a black teacup chihuahua - M&M whom she loved very much.

Later in her life she became a part of the Red Hat Ladies, and thoroughly enjoyed outings with them, even bringing her grandchildren to their events. She also enjoyed having lunch with The Class of ‘64 Ladies and was always so excited to be able to go spend that time with her friends.

She was preceded in death by: her sons - Larry Jr. and Roy Alan; her parents - Maudie and Roy; her brother – Darrell; grandson - Cody Allen-Stiffler; aunts, uncles, cousins and some very dear friends.

She is survived by: her daughter – Carrie; her stepdaughters - Angie (Josh), Andrea (Bill), and Lauri; her son-in-law - Todd Stiffler and numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren.

The grandchildren she was the closest to and got to spend the most time with were Daniel (Karen), Clifton (Nicole), Brian, Enola (James), Alexia, Ace, William and Jaxon. Also, some very close friends - Debbrah Pauls, Sherry Boone, Nancy Retherford, Kathy Shea, Brant and Zoe Kelley. There are numerous others that she cherished and loved. There are also many other kids that adopted Carolyn as one of their “moms” and she held them close to her heart.

Funeral services were held on Friday, July 29, 2022 at Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel. Burial followed at the Elmwood Cemetery in Gooding.

Kerri Ray Parks

Kerri Rey Stroud Parks, 37, a resident of Gooding, passed away unexpectantly on Monday, July 25, 2022.

Making her presence on January 11th as the first baby born in the Gooding Hospital in 1985, Kerri was also celebrated as the last scheduled delivery prior to the closure of the hospital’s delivery ward.

Kerri’s childhood was spent in Gooding where she attended school and graduated in 2003. From a very young age Kerri was a passionate animal lover, rescuing every stray animal she came across. Occasionally without her parents’ knowledge, a stray dog or cat would be living in her room for a day or two until either she confessed or was able to find the perfect home. Kerri’s love of animals continued into her adulthood and she dedicated much of her free time to volunteering to transport or foster an animal in need.

Kerri was the loving mother of Destry, Savannah, Peyton and Kaden and was fiercely proud and protective. Each of them held a very special place in her heart and she will forever be watching over them.

As a friend to many, Kerri had a special gift of caring for those in need and assisted many in the community. She was always willing to lend a hand, volunteer or fundraise whenever the opportunity arose.

Kerri will forever be remembered by her parents – Steve and Leata Stroud; grandmother – Patricia Lierman; her husband – Michael Parks; her children; sisters – Stephanie (Rob) Martensen and Mandy (Russell) Clark; nieces, a nephew and many aunts, uncles, cousins and lifelong friends.

May she rest in peace alongside her maternal grandfather – Lloyd Lierman and paternal grandparents – Herb and Margery Stroud.

A service to celebrate her life will be held at Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel on Thursday, August 4, 2022, at 11:00 a.m. A viewing will be held on Wednesday from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Chapel.

In Kerri’s memory, donations can be made to her children’s college funds (Columbia Bank in Gooding or given to Leata Stroud for deposit) or to an animal rescue of choice.
