Medical Center Shelterbelt Project
Trees serve many purposes: shade, beauty, food (nuts and fruit), and in our area, protection against the wind. While most of the City of Fairfield is protected from wind, out on the western edge of town the wind can be big problem, especially at the Camas Medical Services building. During the winter, drifting snow covers walkways, the driveway, and the helipad, and it is a constant battle to keep those areas clear and safe for people needing to use the facilities. Last year, Wes Fields
called the Camas Conservation District (CCD) expressing concern about this problem and offered donate trees for a shelterbelt project. The CCD coordinated meetings with Wes, Medical Services personnel, city and county officials, and NRCS representative Bob Josaitis. Mr. Josaitis has drafted a cost effective design for the area west of the clinic and the City of Fairfield has completed the installation of irrigation water main lines to the site. Donation of pipe for lateral distribution lines is pending, and
the CCD has dedicated $800 to the project. This community effort is off to a great start, but help is needed to complete the project. There are two ways you can participate: funding for distribution line equipment, landscape fabric, mulch, etc. is still needed; manual labor (irrigation equipment installation, landscape fiber and mulch placement, tree planting, etc.) is also needed. During the Camas County Fair being held this weekend, be sure to stop by the CCD booth and see what you can do to help your community. You can also contact the CCD at: 208-764-3223 or P.O. Box 156, Fairfield, ID. All monetary donations are tax deductible. (Be sure to check out the city’s other tree project at the Fairfield City Park.)

Wendell RoadWork Nears Midpoint
The full-width reconstruction of Idaho Street between Interstate 84 and the north end of Wendell is nearly halfway finished, a milestone being marked this week with a traffic switch onto the rebuilt east side. When complete in late September, the project will rebuild and pave Idaho 46 from near the railroad tracks at the south end of Wendell to the north city limit, and replace sections of sidewalk and pedestrian ramps to comply with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. Construction this week will move to the west side of the roadway, as crews repave the north portion of the project and prepare for repaving Main Street in the coming weeks. Traffic will remain a single lane in each direction, with impacts to access points and business entrances. Work includes excavating and repaving the north section of the project between Fourth Street and the north Wendell city limit. Motorists will drive on a gravel surface until paving is complete Friday. Work on the west half of the roadway includes removing the asphalt surface and some sidewalk sections. The roadway and sidewalk will be closed, with limited access at business locations and city streets. Sidewalk repairs may also impact access to corner business entrances. Drivers should be cautious when entering the roadway and drive carefully over the ramps onto adjacent curbs and roadways. A top layer of asphalt surface will be placed across the entire roadway following construction of the western half, expected in early September.

It’s a documented fact that students who read throughout the summer vacation are more likely to maintain their reading skills, rather than lose them during the months spent out of the classroom. Gooding Public Library recently completed another successful Summer Reading Program, thanks to the support of many members of and businesses in our community. The theme this year’s program was “Every Hero has a Story”. Thanks to the awesome presentations made by our guest readers and staff, we learned about all types of heroes and their contributions to our world. We learned that in addition to the “super” heroes in books and movies there are real heroes all around us: law enforcement personnel, health care professionals, parents, fire fighters, emergency medical technicians, neighbors and animals, too. Fun activities followed each of the presentations; we made cards for military personnel, created lighthouses, designed small super hero sidekicks, made rescue dog crafts, fire hats and more. We would like to thank the following “heroes”, individuals and businesses who provided contributions, activities and their time to help local students succeed in retaining their skills throughout the summer: Linda Anderson, Baker Insurance, Lisa Bolton, Colette Born, Brockman Family Chiropractic, Ann Brown, Ann Marie Caldwell, Cora Caldwell, Christine Celaya , Clover Creek Dental, Columbia Bank, Marne Curtis, Helen Edwards, Janis Faulkner, France, Basterrechea, Wagner & Bunn, Fredericksen’s Mercantile, Megan Gilbert, Gooding Elks Lodge, Gooding Fire Department, Gus’ Super Service, Nan Haner & Assistants, Neal & Jacque Hocklander, KinderArts Pre-school, Jamie Lancaster/Gooding 4-H, Lupita’s, Ashley Madera, Marcy Makay, Teresa Miller, Renee Orth, Brandee Sabala, Ann Simmons, Jessica Sparks, Robyn Stechelin, Sheri Williams, Joseba Zatica, Luis & Debbie Zatica, Zions Bank and all of the other “unlisted heroes”. The Library is Covered with Childrens’ Reading Logs! The library staff of Gooding Public Library challenged our young readers to read lots of books this summer, and they did! Each time a child completed a book, a reading log sheet was posted on the wall of the library; so far the log sheets have lapped the library twice and we predict that a third lap will be completed before school begins in August. Be sure to stop by the library and check out our colorful display, it’s amazing!
you have two hours to spare on August 20, 21 or 22, please call 934-5318, 934-5366, or 490-7466 and you will be put on the sitter’s list. The building will be open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on those three days.
...Discounted Tags continued
15,500 deer tags, and since 2008, a portion of the nonresident quota has gone unsold. But, Fish and Game has seen increased tag sales due in part to improved deer and elk hunting in Idaho and a better economy. Through July, sale of nonresident elk tags is up 25 percent over the same period last year, and up 14 percent for deer tags. Fish and Game is forecasting better deer and elk hunting this year because of mild winters and excellent survival of deer and elk. For the first time last year, Fish and Game commissioners allowed residents and nonresidents to buy at a discount the remaining nonresident tags as second tags, and it was popular. Nonresident tag quotas are factored into projected harvest rates, so Fish and Game officials don’t expect increased sales, either as nonresident tags or second tags, will lead to overharvesting of deer or elk. Last year, hunters using second tags accounted for 2.5 percent of the statewide elk harvest and 3 percent of the statewide deer harvest. While this is the second year of discounted nonresident tags sold as second tags, the program is not new. Nonresident deer and elk tags have been sold as second tags since 2000. For more information about the second tags, go to: fishandgame.idaho.gov/2tags

Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor, On August 13 the Fairfield City Council will be holding a hearing on a proposed increase to your water bill. The particulars can be obtained at the City Office, but the monthly base residential rate would be raised from 33.00 to 37.00 and would include 5,000 gallons of water cut back from 60,000. Fifty cents per one thousand gallons after that allotment is used. Based on IDWR figures a single family household of four people uses on average 5800 +/- per month. If your in town residence has an irrigation system you could be using as much as 60,000 gallons for multiple lot sized yards, or as little as 30,000 for our typical postage stamp sized single lot. So do the math, at a 25,000 gallon overage you would be on the hook for 12.50 bringing your total bill to 49.50 in the summer and drop back to 37.00 during non summer months. Larger irrigated lots are going to cost more. For some of you this may seem like an outrage but considering the Council was told by USDA at the start of the project, the combined W&S base rate could be as high as 90.00 I think it has worked out well. I have been told you will be able to average your monthly bill based on your yearly usage so those on low or fixed incomes can budget correctly. The current City staff will administer the new rate without favoritism. I want to point out that the entire reason the City had to “borrow” so much money is because past administrations never saw it prudent to raise the rates to keep up with the system’s deterioration. Will you need to be water wise? You bet, but we need to be, as today water is more valuable than oil. The good old days are a thing of the past. One question to the Council is; are you counting on a certain amount of overage to reach your desired figure? People will cut usage and you do not want to have to come back with another rate hike anytime soon. Sincerely, Jeff Kreyssig Former City Council member

Foul Flowers
Believe it or not, not all blooms are beautiful. by The Camas Bug Crew For most of us, this time of year is a favorite because everything is in full bloom. Roses, lilies, daisies, and a host of other plants beautify our communities and make our lives richer. But besides benign household ornamentals, there are also noxious weeds blooming this time of year. One of these is Spotted Knapweed. Spotted knapweed is a herbaceous, short-lived perennial that reproduces entirely by seed. A plant may produce up to 25,000 seeds. Seeds are brown to black, smooth, less than a quarter of an inch long, and can remain viable in the soil for eight years. Flowers vary widely in color, from pink to purple, blooming from July to October. The flower head bracts are black-tipped, giving the plant its characteristic “spotted” appearance. Stems are typically two to four feet tall, with deeply lobed lower leaves, and more linear upper leaves. Spotted knapweed ranges from moist rangeland habitats to abandoned areas. Thirteen biological control agents have been approved to release for the knapweed complex, which includes spotted knapweed. Cyphocleonus Achates is our most effective agent to use against spotted knapweed. Cypho overwinter as larvae in the plant roots, where they mine vascular tissue and reduce density. The adults emerge in June to mid-September and feed on knapweed leaves. The adults are .5 to .6 inches long and live 8-15 weeks. Each female deposits more than one hundred eggs during her lifetime. Eggs hatch in 10 to 12 days and larvae commence feeding on the roots, beginning the cycle again. Many landowners are interested in biocontrol methods, but there are certain criteria that have to be met. The first of these is time. Although biocontrol is sustainable, the bugs do take time to accomplish their task. Landowner’s would need to set aside their land for a minimum of five years in order for biocontrol to be effective. This includes no mowing, spraying, grazing, or cultivating. If you think you have a piece of land that might meet these qualifications, please call Eric McHan with the Camas Bug Crew at 316-0355.
