News Western Heritage In Gooding
Gooding Pro Rodeo begins tomorrow night at 8 p.m. with Family Night and continues on Friday and Saturday. Be sure to get your tickets early - they’re going fast. For those of you who make it in, be sure to check out the artwork that circles the Andy James Arena. Designed several years ago by local artist and fairground manager, Don Gill, the artwork is a celebration our western heritage and history. During the last several weeks, Mr. Gill and several helpers gave the western leather belt artwork, fresh paint in preparation for this year’s rodeo. If you don’t make it into the arena, you can still enjoy the bronze sculpture erected last year in memory of Leo Rice. Last week, in preparation for tonight’s Gooding County Fair Parade (7 p.m.) the Main Street Group sponsored a clean-up project along Main Street, while city crews
gave fresh paint to the crosswalks in the downtown area. The clean-up team of fifteen people pulled weeds, picked up garbage, and helped make downtown Gooding a place to be proud of.

Lincoln County Fires
On Friday, three fires started up in Lincoln County. A fire near the Gooding/Lincoln county line on Highway 26 burned 75 acres and closed the highway for several hours. The Dietrich-Butte fire has consumed 2500 acres just north of Dietrich. Last year, a fire in that area took out just over 3000 acres. Another smaller fire north of Dietrich has burned about 10 acres. All of these fires are believed to be human caused, and are under investigation. No structures were threatened by these fires and no injuries have been reported. 2039 Main Street ~ Gooding

over FY16, or $3,966,000 more in cash for a total of $36,724,800. The highest percent change in FY17 cash distributions is for the endowment fund that supports Idaho State University, State Hospital North, State veterans homes, State Juvenile Corrections Center, and the Idaho School for the Deaf and Blind. Disbursements to these institutions will increase by more than 23 percent in FY17. Other State institutions receiving more money in FY17 include the University of Idaho, teacher education programs at Lewis-Clark State College and Idaho State University, and correctional facilities. Details of the distribution increase, which was recommended by the EFIB, are included in the memo here. Land Board policy calls for distributions to be raised only when the increase is expected to be sustainable in the future, based on expected returns of the endowment’s land and fund assets. ---- The Land Board is made up of Idaho’s governor, secretary of state, attorney general, state controller and superintendent of public instruction. It is charged by the Idaho Constitution with managing Idaho’s endowment trust lands and funds in a prudent manner to maximize long-term financial distributions to the beneficiaries.

...NRCS Funding continued
Thousand Springs conservation projects. The Board associated these methods with specific project areas within the Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer so recommended practices vary from county to county. “The Idaho Water Resource Board’s RCPP funding award will support the State of Idaho’s on-going efforts to stabilize and recover groundwater levels in the Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer” said Water Board Chairman Roger Chase. Farmers can apply for RCPP funding for activities that relate to these four strategies. Farmers can apply to and contract directly with NRCS. Applications must be received by September 25, 2015. To find out what practices are available in your county, contact one of these NRCS offices to get more information or apply for the program: Gooding: Steve Thompson 208-934-8481 x 114 820 Main St., Gooding Shoshone: Patti Hurley 208-886-2258 x 112 215 W Front St., Shoshone The Idaho Water Resources Board (IWRB) received special funding through USDA’s Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) to help stabilize the Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer (ESPA). The project is a joint effort by the Idaho Water Resources Board and the NRCS.
