Gooding County What’s Buggin in Camas County? Camas Bug Crew 2013 Fair & Rodeo fromThethepast few weeks for the Camas Like our other fairs, 4-H members are hard at work well before the big events making sure all the forms, presentations, and interviews, are finished and handed in on time. Tonight (Wednesday, August 7th) at 7 p.m. the 4-H Style Show will take place on the Commercial Building Stage. This is an opportunity for our 4Hers to show off their clothing projects by modeling in front of a panel of judges, but it is more than just the clothes. It is also about poise, confidence, and the ability to present one’s self in front of an audience. A similar event, the 4-H Oral presentation Contest, will take place on Friday, August 9th, at 1 p.m. at the Gooding County Extension office. Also this Friday, starting at 5 p.m., the 4-H Dog Show will take place at the fairgrounds. This contest will include ‘Fitting and Showing’ and ‘Obedience.’ The 4-H Horse Show will start at 8 a.m. on Saturday morning (August 9th) at the arena. Four age groups will compete in twenty different events that cover various styles of riding and showmanship, as well as fun events like pole bending, goat tying, and barrel racing. On August 12 (Monday) the animals will begin arriving at the fairgrounds (two by two no doubt) and at 7:30 p.m. the 4-H and FFA Goat Show will be held in the outside show ring. Also on Monday, be sure bring in your various works of art to display in the Art Department (see page 5).
County bug crew have been very busy with the monitoring of vegetation. One of the bugs, Cyphocleonus Acthates is in its last stage of metamorphosis. Soon this root boring weevil will emerge from the Knapweed root, and find another knapweed to bore into and kill. Spotted knapweed produce up to twenty-five thousand seeds per plant, and can remain viable in the soil up to eight years. In addition spotted knapweed prefers moist rangeland habitat, so Camas County’s marsh land is a perfect place for them to grow. This noxious weeds flowers range in color from pink, to light purple and bloom from July to October. It is in these four months that the seed head eating weevils do their handy work. Cyphocleonus Acthates The livestock shows will begin in earnest on Tuesday morning, and continue through Thursday. On Friday (August 16th), Master Showmanship contests will be held for 4-H and FFA (9 a.m.) and small animals (1 p.m.). The Market Animal Sale will take place the following Saturday morning at 10 a.m. The 2013 Gooding County Fair Parade will roll down Main Street starting at 7 p.m. next Wednesday, August 14th.
emerge from June to mid September to feed on knapweed leaves. The adults are 0.5 to 0.6 inches long, and generally live eight to fifteen weeks. Females mate several times, and deposit more than one hundred eggs during their lifetime. Cyphocleonus Acthates eggs are laid singly in a notch excavated by the female on the root crown just below the soil surface. Eggs hatch in ten to twelve days and larva begin feeding on roots. These larva will winter in the root of the knapweed and will emerge as adults the following summer after completing metamorphosis. Diffused knapweed is a biennial short lived perennial reproducing entirely by seed. It can produce up to eighteen thousand seeds per plant. Flowers can occur singularly or in clusters, and bloom from July to September. Flowers may be white, continued on page 6.....
(Register your parade entry at 14th and Main - just north of ISDB - or call Pete at Valley Co-op.) Preceding the adult parade youngsters will show off there stuff in the Kiddie Parade (about 6 p.m.) and after the main parade a Street Dance will be held in the parking lot at Zeppes.

Update: Fir Grove Fire The Fir Grove Fire, located 10 miles south of Fairfield, was fully contained last week. The fire was mapped at 7,143 acres, but no structures were damaged. A number of readers have asked whether the famed grove of fir trees was damaged. Thankfully, no. The fire crews could see the grove from where they were working, but the grove itself was in no danger.

What Do New Investors Really Need To Know? If you’re starting out as an investor, you might be feeling overwhelmed. After all, it seems like there’s just so much to know. How can you get enough of a handle on basic investment concepts so that you’re comfortable in making well-informed choices? Actually, you can get a good grip on the investment process by becoming familiar with a few basic concepts, such as these: Stocks versus Bonds: When you buy stocks, or stock-based investments, you are buying ownership shares in companies. Generally speaking, it’s a good idea to buy shares of quality companies and to hold these shares for the long term. This strategy may help you eventually overcome short-term price declines, which may affect all stocks. Keep in mind, though, that when buying stocks, there are no guarantees you won’t lose some or all of your investment. By contrast, when you purchase bonds, you aren’t becoming an “owner” - rather, you are lending money to a company or a governmental unit. Barring default, you can expect to receive regular interest payments for as long as you own your bond, and when it matures, you can expect to get your principal back. However, bond prices do rise and fall, typically moving in the opposite direction of interest rates. So if you wanted to sell a bond before it matures, and interest rates have recently risen, you may have to offer your bond at a price lower than its face value. For the most part, stocks are purchased for their growth potential (although many stocks do offer income, in the form of dividends), while bonds are bought for the income stream provided by interest payments. Ideally, though, it is important to build a diversified portfolio containing stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit (CDs), government securities and other invest-ments designed to meet your goals and risk tolerances. Diversification is a strategy designed to help reduce the effects of mar-ket volatility on your portfolio; keep in mind, however, that diversification, by itself, can’t guarantee a profit or protect against loss.

from Camas County Schools - District No. 121 Mannie’s Jamboree Dear Camas County School District #121 Patron: As usual we have a lot of challenges next year. Some of them are beginning to become easier and we will be able to build upon the gains we have worked so hard to realize. It’s an understatement when we say that education is a challenging profession in today’s world. Increased performance demands and low funding are impacting all aspects of our educational system. Speaking of funding, we passed a supplemental levy last spring for the purchase of student supplies, equipment and to continue our current programs. However, we still have the responsibility of meeting our facility needs, as well as properly educating children. On August 27thst we will be asking patrons and staff to support a Ten Year Plant Facility Levy in the amount of $20,000 per year.
Celebrate Fiddling In Idaho The 2013 Mannie’s Jamboree will be held in Fairfield, Idaho, on August 17th in the City Park. In celebration of Idaho’s Territorial Sesquicentennial, the goal is to have 150 fiddlers at this year’s event. All fiddling styles are welcome, as well as other stringed instruments. For more information, contact any of the following: Dennis Koyle: Matt Renner: Richard Fife: Jarry Young:
208-934-4269 208-720-8649 208-260-0364 208-764-3910
Watch for more information as we get closer to celebration day. See page 7 the 2013 State Championship results.....
Reasons for asking for levy approval are: · Prior to the end of FY 2009, CCSD #121 received approximately $25,500 in Lottery and School Building Maintenance money each year from the state. · In the four years after 2009 the amount of money we received outside of basic operations to address building needs has been a total of 0 dollars. · This year lottery money has been added back to the state appropriation and the amount we will receive is $2700. Obviously these numbers are far short of the amount required to address our building and grounds needs. In fact, our needs are growing each year as our buildings continue to age.

· Plant facility money can only be used for “projects” that exceed $5000 and not for salaries. In other words, this money will be used only for facility repairs and improvements. · The $20,000 requested in the Plant Facilities Levy is the amount we saved each year by refinancing our Building Bonds. In effect the bond levy refinance will offset our total taxing request and will result in NO tax increase. · This year legislators approved a personal property tax shift. Included in that statute was a provision that obligates the state to pay the personal property tax portion for any school election approved prior to November 2013. The state obligation portion of the $20,000 is $1400 each year or $14000 over the next ten years. To put it another way; local patrons would be paying $18,600 rather than the full $20,000. Thank you for your continued support. If you have any questions concerning the Plant Facility Levy or the operation of our school district feel free to drop by the district office or call me at 208-358-1053. I am more than willing to meet with any organization, individual, or group at your convenience.

Quentin “Butch” Maag Quentin “Butch” Maag, 75, a resident of Hagerman, peacefully passed at his home on Thursday evening August 1st. He was surrounded by his wife and a couple of his “adopted daughters” as he always called them. Butch was born on January 13, 1938 in Stanley, Idaho. He was the third of seven children born to Dan and Violet Maag. Butch grew up in his early years living in a small homemade trailer which went along with the road grader his father operated on the Custer County roads near Challis. He attended all 12 years of school in Challis, Idaho, graduating in 1956. Butch always had a job of some sort to help out his family and sustain himself. He worked seasonally for the Challis Forest Service doing trail work, much of it being within the Middle Fork drainage, before enlisting in U.S. Army on December 2, 1959. He finished his Army service in 1962 and enlisted in the reserves until being honorably discharged on November 30, 1965. On November 19, 1962 he married his lifetime friend Lorena ( Ziegler) from Pahsimeroi. Butch continued working for CNF doing road maintenance until he went to work for the State of Idaho Transportation Department doing highway maintenance in the early 1960’s. He was very proud of his safety awards he earned and especially the fact he could plow snow on the roads in the winter for everyone. After 30 years of dedicated service he retired in November 1996. On October 26, 1964 they welcomed their special daughter Mona. In September 1967, Butch accepted a transfer to Hagerman with the Idaho Transportation Department. On December 15, 1968 their son Dan was welcomed into the family. Butch was an active member of three Masonic Lodges Hagerman #78 A.F. & A.M.; Challis #92 A.F. & A.M., Richfield
#21 A.F. & A.M. He served as Chaplin for the Hagerman, Richfield, and Glenns Ferry Fidelity #80 A.F. & A.M lodges. Butch was awarded the “Mason of the Year” award in 2009 from the Hagerman Lodge. He served as “Associate Guardian” for the Job’s Daughters Bethel #45 in Hagerman. Butch was a very active member of the “Temple of Truth” which was the local coffee shop. Butch will be remembered for his ability to make a lasting impression in people’s lives by his funny wit and sayings. It was well known that he “never met a stranger”. He always said to people “you know you’re one of ours” and he literally meant it. He loved to hunt, fish, camp, and was always up for a road trip, card game, party, or anything to do with being around his friends and family. Butch was preceded in death by his parents, one brother (Argane), one sister (Unice Leuzinger), his beloved children Dan and Mona. He is survived by his wife of 50 1/2 years, Lorena, four sisters June (Bill) James of Challis, ID, Ila (Leon) Ziegler of May, ID (Pahsimeroi Valley), Wilma (Bob) Daniels of Salmon, ID, Glenis O’Dell of Salmon, ID, and sister-in-law Nedra Bledsoe of Idaho Falls, ID. He is also survived by 23 nieces and nephews and their extended families who were all very special to him. A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, August 7, 2013 at the Hagerman High School Gymnasium in Hagerman. Burial will follow at the Hagerman Cemetery. Following the committal service, a dinner will follow at the American Legion Hall in Hagerman. In lieu of flowers or donations, the family suggests contributions be made to any of the following - Mona Maag scholarship fund at Bliss High School United Methodist Church in Hagerman - Hagerman Masonic Lodge #78 A.F. & A.M. The world has definitely lost a “one-of-a-kind”. Fill it to the duck’s tail Butch. Arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting the obituary link at www.demarayfuneralservice.com.

Joseph Albert Baumgartner Joseph Albert Baumgartner, age 90, passed away peacefully Monday morning, July 29, 2013. Joe was the sixth of seven children born to Jacob and Lola (Sessions) Baumgartner. He was born June 8, 1923, in Albion, Idaho, where he grew up and attended school. He played football for the Albion Blue Devils.

“Little Wolves” by Thomas Maltman The opening paragraphs of this book are riveting - a strangely plausible interaction between a human baby and a mother wolf. The prose is exquisite; the writer puts you right there with the wolf, inside her wintery world and inside her head. But then I turned the page and the wolf’s world was gone, explained away as a story told to a child. The real story develops when the reader is introduced to a community of people who are less socialized than a genuine pack of wolves. The wolves of the title, as it turns out, are a litter of coyotes whose story is left on the side while human depravity takes center stage. There are many supernatural nuances between the covers of this book, but they reveal themselves to be perfectly natural, as natural as a litter of kittens, a troubled teenager, nearly domesticated coyotes that remember a certain smell or an extramarital forbidden affair. All the man-eating wolves in this book are human. pink or lavender. The bracts of the flower heads are tipped with a long slender spine, fringed with smaller spines. Seeds are blackish brown with vertical brown and gray stripes, and are about 0.1 inches long. The stems are typically six inches to two feet tall with deeply divided leaves.

The Boss is once again Eric McHan. We started out the year with Leafy Spurge and White Top. Due to their plant phrenology, they are usually the first noxious weeds to bolt in the spring. On July second we went to Shake Creek on the Boise River, to collect insects from our insectory. The two insects we gathered were Apthona Flea Beatles, and Oberea, a stem boring moth. These bugs will be sent all over the Western United States. We look forward to working with public and private land owners over the summer in helping eradicate noxious weeds in Camas County. If you have Canada thistle, Leafy Spurge, White Top, Knap Weed, or Toad Flax problems and are willing to dedicate seven years of bio control please call the Bug Crew at 208-316-0355.

PRESS RELEASE Back-to-school season is here, time for parents to gather supplies and backpacks. It’s also the perfect time to make sure your children are up-to-date on their immunizations. August is National Immunization Awareness month, and South Central Public Health District (SCPHD) strongly encourages parents to take this opportunity to keep their children better protected with up-to-date immunizations in preparation for daycare, backto-school, and college. “Today’s childhood immunizations protect against serious and potentially life threatening diseases, including polio, measles, whooping cough and chickenpox,” said Lisa Klamm, SCPHD immunization program coordinator. “When children are not immunized, they are at increased risk and can spread diseases to others in their classrooms and community. School age children are required to have immunizations.” Immunizations have eliminated smallpox, polio, and diphtheria in the United States and have nearly eliminated measles, mumps, and tetanus. However, Idaho still ranks the lowest in the nation for completed childhood immunizations. Each year, preventable diseases such as whooping cough continue to be reported in many areas of the state. Parents can make an appointment by calling the SCPHD clinic in their area. An appointment is required in order to streamline services and reduce waiting times. It is also critical to bring each child’s immunization record to identify what they’ve had or still need. Immunizations are available by appointment at SCPHD offices in:

...but never Compromising the Truth.
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 weat to its shipping destination. I was hauling the gran in a ten wheel dump hoist truck. The doors that accomodate hauling silage corn were sealed shut to prevent leakage. All I had was 12” square door to unload the wheat. The building I was delivering in 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 remander that wouldn’t go through the 12” 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 ansure 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 would deliver would be about 25,000 pounds. That is a lot of bread with my truck loads alone, not counting all the other wheat 30 feet high. In our State of Idaho, we are diverse agricultural state wiht lots of food products. Why are we not at the top of the list as far as hunger-less 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. Gasoline is double the price of bread with wheat staying 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 similiar. We the people could say, “but that is the way it is.” Maybe it won’t all be about the math, whereasa we are all shorted. Maybe we need a little English too. Pound for pound, this is my “Cup of Tee” on the short side.
