The Trouble with Toadflax
1-208-246-9999
by the Camas Bug Crew
When people think of noxious weeds they usually think of plants with thorns, burs, or some other inflicting appendage. The plant we will be discussing today Dalmatian toadflax, has none of these annoying attributes. As a matter of fact this plant is so beautiful it was sold as an ornamental in local greenhouses. The trouble with Dalmatian toadflax is simply that it is noxious. It will crowd out local, native plants and become the only vegetation in the area, spreading quickly and is hard to kill. It is important to understand the characteristics of this plant. Dalmatian Toadflax is a perennial that grows up to 4 feet tall. Its waxy green leaves are heart shaped, 1 to 3 inches long, and clasp the stem. Flowers are 1 inch long (excluding the ½ inch spur), yellow, often tinged with orange or red, and similar in shape to a snapdragon. Plants flower from midsummer to fall. Seeds are produced in a ½-inch pod and are irregularly wing angled. A single plant may produce up to 500,000 seeds in a season which may remain viable in the soil for up to 10 years. This plant also reproduces vegetatively by stems that develop for adventitious buds on primary and creeping lateral roots. It is usually associated with sparsely vegetated areas, such as roadsides, abandoned or unmanaged land, gravel pits, and disturbed pastures and rangelands. It is found in most counties in Idaho. This invasive plant and other linaria species are reportedly toxic to livestock. Adult Mecinus Janiformus (MEJA) are small, somewhat elongated bluish black weevils which emerge from last year’s infested Dalmatian toadflax stems in April-May. Adult MEJA feed on toadflax stems from June to mid-July before mating and laying eggs inside new shoots. The eggs typically hatch in 6-7 days. Larvae tunnel within the toadflax stem for 23 to 34 days moving no more than 1.2 inches from where the egg was laid. Pupation occurs within the stem. Adult feeding on stems and leaves has limited impact on the plant. Larval mining impacts the plants by causing premature wilting of shoots and suppressing flower formation. MEJA overwinter as adults inside their pupation chamber. The effects of the weevil on the plant are reportedly enhanced under drought stress. The weather this summer has been perfect for Mecinus. Although this plant is beautiful, it is not something you want on your property. If you see a yellow snap dragon like infestation it would be a good idea to call Terry Lee. He can come out and best assess what you can do to eradicate this weed. He can be reached at (208)764-3512.

Timothy Charles Meyer
Timothy Charles Meyer, 65, a resident of Wendell, passed away on Friday, July 30, 2021 at his home in Wendell. Tim was born on October 9, 1955 at Offutt Air Force Base, Lincoln, Nebraska, the son of Charles F. Meyer and Marjorie J. Colberg Meyer. Tim was raised in a military family, and during his early years lived in various places until his family moved to Twin Falls. He attended the Lutheran School in Twin and graduated from Twin Falls High School; activities during that time included the Twin Falls Library Book Mobile, Ski and chess clubs. Tim married Bonnie Mink in 1978. He worked for Ed McNutt and Muncie Mink residing in Wendell, until establishing his own business Tim Meyer Carpentry, and later named his business Black and Blue Construction. He contracted new homes and remodeling projects throughout Idaho. He was active in Ski Patrol at Pomerelle Mountain south of Burley, and Magic Mountain, south of Twin Falls. Tim and Bonnie home schooled their children and helped establish the Magic Valley Home Educators. Tim was actively involved with various community programs such as the Scouting Program and Gooding Swim Team. Tim honored his father-in-law, by working with the American Legion to put up a United States Flag Memorial for Muncie J. Mink at the Wendell Grade School. Tim imparted his skills to others within the work release program for students in the Wendell High School, challenging them in carpentry and math skills. He helped with the Idaho Science Olympiad at the College of Southern Idaho with the State event, and later taking teams to National Science Olympiad. He was active with the Wendell Presbyterian Church, singing with the choir, children's messages, Sunday school, Deacon, building and grounds committee, and holding services at the Magic Valley Manor. Tim was actively involved in the Political process with the Gooding County Republican committee and ran as a write-in candidate for our District Representative and for the Mayor of Wendell twice. Tim will be missed for his love and commitment to his family, and for his commitment to work doing all with his ability to do the best job possible, in whatever he put his hand to do. Tim tried to have a work ethic that honored the Lord, and provided help for others in any situation they found themselves in. May he be remembered for his loyalty, and caring nature for those who needed his help. He liked the poem he wrote for his father-in-law for Christmas and put on ink pens. It said: "We like to see a Job well done, and we've nailed one up for you, Aren't you glad that in this poem it's a nail, and not a screw!" Surviving family members: Bonnie (wife); Children: Levi (Chelsea), Nathaniel (Kara), and Angela; grandchildren: Elisha, Emily, Matthew, Noah and Jeremy; Judy Meyer (stepmother); sisters: Lorna Stacey Pocatello, Id; Susan (Wesley) Struble Troy, Idaho; brother: Matthew (Renae) Meyer Troy, Idaho; stepsisters: Paula Swenson (Ron) Indiana and Tamara Brown Washington; and various nieces and nephews. Proceeded in death by: his father Charles F. Meyer (Burley) and his mother Marjorie J. Colberg Meyer; grandparents: Edwin and Amelia Meyer (Kimberly) Arthur J. and Ethel Palmquest Colberg; brother: Jonathan Meyer (Nassau, Bahamas –missing presumed dead); and son: Solomon Meyer. Tim requested that there was no memorial service to waste people's time; but we are having a family get together at the Living Waters Presbyterian Church on Sunday, August 15, 2021 from 1:00 to 3:00 pm. You are all welcome. Cremation arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service – Wendell Chapel.

...but never Compromising the Truth.
Carol McDougal
Carol was born on May 12th, 1939, in Santa Monica, California to James and Lula Huntsman. The second of four children, she grew into the sweet and feisty woman we all loved. On January 26, 1963, she married Harold McDougal in Redondo Beach, California. In the fall of 1972, they brought their children Lori, Gilbert, and Scott to Idaho. They settled in Gooding and continued to raise their family, giving birth to Deporter in 1974. Carol loved Jesus and her life reflected her faith. She often studied the Bible with Harold, particularly enjoying the Psalms. She devoted her life to following His Word and cared for all those around her.
obit ua ry
She and Harold both enjoyed square dancing, which they participated in with Buttons and Bows for many years. Carol was an avid crossword enthusiast and she folded them just the way she liked them. She also loved music and singing, and the musical selections for this service reflect some of the music that she was passionate about. She had a passion for cooking and baking, and she always cooked by feel rather than following a recipe. That passion turned into several years of professional foodservice for the Walker Center and the Idaho School for the Deaf and Blind. She also entered many of her culinary masterpieces into the Gooding County Fair, which earned her several blue ribbons. She even managed to turn Harold into an accomplished chef! An avid night owl, she didn't care at all for mornings and enjoyed the chance to sleep in. In everything she did, she loved people. She could always be counted on for her infectious laughter, genuine personality, and uncontrollable facial expressions. She was filled with quiet strength, and she continued to support her grandchildren and
