Morman Reservoir Potential Heath Risk
On Monday, August 8th, the Camas County Commissioner issued a warning regarding Morman Reservoir located five miles south of Fairfield. “It appears a harmful blume of Blue-Green algae is present in Morman Reservoir. The DEQ has not confirmed this with official results from their test, but precautions should be taken.” Blue-green algae is common in freshwater lakes and ponds. Problems occur when specific types of photosynthetic bacteria (cyanobacteria, aka blue-green algae) form blooms (visible, dense build-ups). Under certain conditions, this may produce harmful toxins (not all blooms are toxic). Generally, large populations of blue-green algae are required to produce toxins at a high enough level to affect those using the water for drinking or recreational use. These toxins affect nerves, liver and skin, and can sicken continued on page 4

Creating Success Momentum
by Jeff Rast, Camas Schools
As I look ahead to the return of staff and students I no longer marvel at how short the summer was. On the contrary, I’m challenged and excited by all the opportunities on the road ahead . . . for all of us. It’s an excitement that calls to mind the famous admonition, Carpe Diem (Seize the day!) from a poem written by the Roman poet, Horace in 23 BC. His point was that tomorrow is not guaranteed to us. Therefore, grab the opportunities present today and build on them. John Maxwell, famous motivational speaker and writer on leadership and management describes a phenomenon he calls, “success momentum.” He defines it as “the ability to see an opportunity, seize it, capitalize on success and then jump at the next chance.” This applies to all students, staff and parents. But the ability to see an opportunity requires that a person has an idea of what he or she wants to accomplish in life. Toward that end, we need think of the possibilities, become excited by the possibilities and grab the opportunities. However, Thomas Edison said that “Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.” That’s because harnessing opportunity does take work and a good amount of self-discipline. But it is there and each one of us can put in the work required to build success momentum. In the days and weeks and months ahead, I’m excited about the opportunities awaiting each student, each staff member and the school community as a whole. Together, let’s build a momentum of success, day by day. Carpe diem!

people, pets and/or livestock if consumed or ingested in large quantities. Other symptoms include rashes or other allergic reactions. Blue-green algae blooms can also threaten fish and other aquatic life. Thick mats of blue-green algae on the lake surface block light needed for the growth of beneficial algae. As the bloom dies and decomposes, the amount of oxygen in the water decreases which is detremental to fish. Blooms may be triggered by a combination of water and environmental conditions, including: excess nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen), sunlight, low-water or low-flow conditions, calm water, and warmer temperatures. Harmful blumes can be short-lived (appearing and disappearing in hours) or long-lived, persisting for several weeks.
Avoid Contact with Bats
South Central Public Health District wants to remind the public to avoid contact with bats. Bats are a natural reservoir for rabies and without timely medical intervention; rabies is virtually 100% fatal in humans and animals. Since June 9th, 2016, the Idaho Bureau of Laboratories has reported that five (5) bats from across the state have tested positive for rabies. Tanis Maxwell with South Central Public Health District reports that, “the number of phone calls we have received about dead bats has increased recently”, however Maxwell noted “that no bats in south central Idaho have tested positive for rabies and the continued on page 9.....

obituaries
Richard Owen Reeves
Although born in Colorado, Richard Owen Reeves spent most of his life in Idaho. And it was here that he passed away on July 7, 2016, from an extended illness. Richard was born on October 3, 1939, in Fairplay, Colorado, to Ruth and Paul Reeves. He entered a world where World War II had commenced in Europe and a country still struggling with the Great Depression. He joined a family of five with siblings, Roland, Patricia and Gordon. One more sibling, Virgil, came along later to complete the brood. In the early fifties, the family moved to Howe and the Lost River Valley. Richard then attended schools in Howe and Arco, graduating from Butte County High School in 1956. After attending Idaho State University for a year, he took a job with Vangas and married Evelyn Yvonne Fallert in June 1958. They settled in Arco and doubled the family in the next couple years with James Bret in April 1959 and Brenda Lee in October 1960. During the next decade or so, the family moved to Blackfoot, Rockford, Salmon, and then back to Rockford, with Richard moving wherever Vangas needed him. During this time, the family grew again with Susan K in November 1966 and Troy J in September 1971. The second move to Rockford was more permanent; they stayed there nearly two decades. By the mid-1970’s, Richard decided to leave Vangas and start a small business. He owned and operated Time Rental for the next decade or so. He expanded the business, which led to a new building, and diversified beyond renting tools, equipment, and party needs, including selling used cars and dealing in precious metals. By the late 1980’s, Richard returned to working in the propane field. He was hired by V1 Propane in 1987, and after a year in Rawlins, Wyoming, they relocated him to Salmon for his and Yvonne’s second stint in that town. He retired in 2001, although he really just moved into a new business; buying and selling collectibles on Ebay. Looking to find more central location, Richard and Yvonne moved to Gooding in 2004, which is where he lived and where he died, at home with many of his family at his side during those final days. Richard worked hard and a lot, but he did make time for other activities. He traveled albeit in later years primarily to Jackpot, Nevada. He tinkered with machines and cars -
including a Ford Mustang - and collected family and other memorabilia. First and foremost, however, he spent as much free time as possible with friends and family. This was particularly true when his kids started having kids. He LOVED his grandkids and gave them two of the most valued things a person can give another: undivided attention and unconditional love. And later in his life, when the grandkids started families of their own, those great-grandkids became the beautiful icing on top of a lovely cake. Upon his passing he leaves Yvonne, his wife of 58 years; his four siblings and children; ten grandchildren and 11 greatgrandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ruth and Paul. The family wants to thank Visions Hospice for making the last weeks of our father’s life as comfortable as possible. We cannot recommend their work enough. A Celebration of Life gathering and light lunch will be held on Saturday, August 13, 2016 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the Gooding Senior Center. If you attend, please come with a story or two about Richard, then find one of the family members and tell it. Our dad loved a good time, and we want this event to be filled with far, far more laughter than tears. Cremation arrangements were handled under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel. Condolences, memories and photos may be shared with the family by following the obituary link at www.demarayfuneralservice.com.

The key to safe and efficient delivery of an irrigation water delivery system is that it is carefully maintained to prevent bank failures or water flow blockages that could potentially cause very serious damage to adjacent landowners or interfere with water being delivered to your property under your water right. This maintenance includes removing sediment and debris and controlling weeds by mowing, spraying or burning and removing trees on the banks. We also have to refurbish or repair banks, install bank lining or even replace the open canal with covered pipe. That requires we have unrestricted access to the canal or ditch banks for our employees, vehicles and maintenance equipment. This unrestricted access is provided to us under Idaho law through easements - the legal right to cross or otherwise use someone else's land for a specified purpose. We may also have fee title ownership or rights-ofway. Those easements may not be reflected on the plot map for your land. We have the legal right to unrestricted access but find it far better to jointly work with property owners to maintain our canals and ditches. The key is knowledge. If you have a project in mind that could impact or involve canal and ditch banks, please call your irrigation company first so it can work with you to resolve in advance any potential access issues. Also, be sure to let them know about any issue involving the banks that might impact water delivery or bank safety. Most importantly, if you have any questions about why our equipment is on a canal or ditch bank, what our employees are doing, or what form our easement takes when your land abuts or is crossed by a canal, we strongly encourage you to contact us so we can provide you with the factual answers you need.
EASEMENTS KEY POINTS
• We have the right to deposit material on the ditch banks (right) that has been removed during cleaning and maintenance. This material belongs to us and it is not to be removed from the banks. • We have the legal right to remove anything that blocks our access to the easement area. We also can prohibit activities which will unreasonably interfere with maintenance of the canal of ditch banks. This includes buildings, parking areas, fences, landscaping and other structures or activities. • We may need to cut trees or remove shrubs from an easement area such as those along the ditch pictured on the right. Tree branches can droop or fall into the canal and obstruct water flows. Tree roots can actually rob the system of water. Tree roots in the banks can also cause seepage and result in eventual canal breaks. • The owners or operators of ditches used for irrigation purposes are responsible for maintenance and repair of ditches to prevent damage or injury to property owners, whether on lands of the owners or operators of ditchesor upon other lands.
This important information is brought to you as a public service by members of the Surface Water Coalition, a group of Magic Valley irrigation entities whose employees are dedicated to the efficient and safe delivery of vital irrigation water to rural and urban area water users.

How many of you dream of owning a classic pickup truck? If you have ever priced one in good condition, it can make your heart sink. But... never fear, the Post Office is here to save the day. Just last month, the U.S. Postal Service celebrated the rugged and reliable work vehicles that Americans have driven for nearly a century with the dedication of the Pickup Trucks Forever stamps that highlight four iconic models: the 1938 International Harvester D-2; the 1948 Ford F-1; the 1953 Chevrolet; and the 1965 Ford F-100. “The pickup truck embodies America’s strong work ethic — the work it takes to transport the country’s building blocks, to operate our nation’s agricultural centers and to grow our businesses and communities,” said U.S. Postal Service Chief Human Resources Officer and Executive Vice President Jeff Williamson. “They symbolize the strength, ruggedness and grit of the millions of hard working men and women that have and continue to build our great nation. For the significant contributions pickup trucks have made in molding this country’s landscape and revolutionizing how we transport ourselves and our goods, we proudly honor these four iconic trucks.” Pickup Trivia: The first fully factory assembled pickup truck was the 1925 Ford Model T Runabout with Pick-Up Body.

Automaker Studebaker used the word “pickup” in an advertisement in 1913, but the exact root of the term “pickup” is unclear. By the Great Depression, it had become part of the American lexicon.
1938 Internatinal Harvester D-2
With its six-cylinder engine and half-ton payload capacity, the 1938 International Harvester D-2 was a strong, sturdy pickup.
1948 Ford F-1
Ford launched the new line with the 1948 Ford F-1. It included features like the roomy “Million Dollar Cab,” a sharp horizontal five-bar grille, and a six- or eight-cylinder engine. Ford sold more than 300,000 trucks in the first model year of the F-Series.
1953 Chevrolet
Advance-Design pickups, such as the 1953 Chevrolet, featured large windshields that provided drivers with excellent visibility, a distinctive curvy grille that bulged in the middle, and a six-cylinder engine. Advance-Design trucks were America’s top-selling pickups for nearly a decade.
1965 Ford F-100
The 1965 Ford F-100 had a new grille that featured 18 small rectangular openings. It also featured what Ford dubbed “Twin-I-Beam” independent front suspension, which improved the quality of the ride, and a powerful six- or eight-cylinder engine. If trucks don’t rev your engine, the Post Office also has “Medal of Honor”, rock n’roll icons, historical, classic reprints, planets, and “Soda Fountain Favorites”.

...Bats continued
statewide numbers do not indicate an increase in the number of infected bats”. Rabies can only be confirmed in a laboratory, however any bat that is active by day or is found in a place where bats are not usually seen (for example, in a room in your home or on the lawn), or is unable to fly is far more likely than others to be rabid. Such bats are often the most easily approached. Therefore, it is best never to handle any bat. If you are bitten by a bat – or if infectious material (such as saliva) from a bat gets into your eyes, nose, mouth, or a wound – wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water and get medical advice immediately. Rabies can easily be passed to other animals. According to the Centers for Disease Control, cats, cattle, and dogs are the most frequently reported rabid domestic animals. Residents should ensure that pets are properly vaccinated. If you have come into direct contact with a bat or find one in your house, and you are able to safely collect the bat, place the bat into a container. Then contact a South Central Public Health District.

The Courier News ~ 888-934-1862 West Nile Virus in the Magic Valley
Serving with all Gentleness & Compassion...
YARD SALE
Mosquitos in around the Magic Valley have recently tested positive for West Nile Virus. While treatment of mosquito breeding areas are already under way, detection of the virus should serve as a reminder to take precautions to avoid mosquitoes and eliminate habitat. Symptoms of West Nile infection include fever, headaches, body aches, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and sometimes swollen lymph glands or a skin rash. More severe infections are marked by a rapid onset of a high fever, including headache, body aches, disorientation, neck stiffness, and tremors. Symptoms typically occur 2 to 14 days after the bite of an infected mosquito. For more information on West Nile, visit SCPHD’s website: www.phd5.idaho.gov or visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at www.cdc.gov/westnile.

Public Release for Free and Reduced Price Meals
Camas County School District today announced its policy for free and reduced price meals for children unable to pay the full price for meals served under the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. Each school and the office of the Local School District has a copy of the policy, which may be reviewed by any interested party. Application forms are available to all homes along with a letter to parents or guardians. To apply for free or reduced price meals, households should fill out the application and return it to the school. Additional copies are available at each school. The information provided on the application will be used for the purpose of determining eligibility and may be verified at any time during the school year by school or other program officials. Households with any member who is receiving Food Stamps, Temporary Assistance for Families in Idaho (TAFI) or Food Distribution on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) are only required to provide the recipient’s name, their food stamp, TAFI or FDPIR case number, the student/s name and an adult signature. For other applicants, the household must list the names of all household members, all household income with the amount, source and frequency of the income received by each household member. If a household member does not have income, the no income box must be checked. An adult signature is required along with the last 4 digits of the adult’s social security number. The signature of the adult household member certifies that the information provided is correct. You may include all foster children’s names on a household application with other non-foster children. Foster children are eligible for school meal benefits. Foster children must be the legal responsibility of the welfare agency or the court. Students who are homeless, runaway or migrant are also eligible for benefits. Household members do not have to be US citizens for students to qualify for benefits.
Applications may be submitted at any time during the year. Under the provisions of free and reduced price policy the Determining Official will review the applications and determine eligibility. Parents or guardians dissatisfied with the ruling of the official(s) may wish to discuss the decision with the Determining Official(s) on an informal basis. Parents wishing to make a formal appeal may make a request either orally or in writing to the Hearing Official for a hearing on the decision. Wendy Strickler - Determining Official, 208-764-2625 Camas County School District 610 Soldier Road, Fairfield, Idaho 83327 The school MAY share your eligibility information with education, health, and nutrition programs to help them evaluate, fund, or determine benefits for their programs, auditors for program reviews, and law enforcement officials to help them look into violations of program rules.
