The Courier Fire Season In Full Swing
from SW Incident Management
The Wapiti Fire caused by lightning west of Stanley is now over 120,000 acres and is 12% contained. There are nearly 1500 firefighter working on this fire which has closed Highway 21 from Lowman to Stanley. Highway 75 remains open.
About 50 miles due south, another lighning cause fire started last Monday. The Chimney Fire located 9 miles northwest of Fairfield is currently at just under 5000 acres with nearly 400 firefighters working to keep in under control.
On Saturday, the Chimney Fire actively pushed toward Iron Mountain as expected by fire managers. A small spot fire over the northwest flank was identified and the forward rate of spread was stopped. Fire activity may increase in response to changing weather conditions. Fire crews are checking and addressing hot spots while patrolling control lines to keep the fire north of the South Fork of Lime Creek and east of the Middle Fork of Lime Creek. Firefighters will continue efforts to keep the fire west of the established heavy equipment lines on the eastern edge to protect range infrastructure and high value timbered areas. A priority focus was established for contingency planning on the southeast corner in anticipation of changing wind direction later this week.
The Sawtooth National Forest has issued an emergency temporary closure of trails and trail segments for the Chimney Fire. The purpose of the closure order is for the protection of firefighters and public during wildfire suppression activities occurring in and around the trails. Full closure order and map are available on the Sawtooth National Forest website at https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/sawtooth/alerts-notices.
The health and safety of firefighters and the public are always the first priority. A temporary flight restriction (TFR) is in place over the area, which includes uncrewed aircraft or drones. Flying drones near wildfires is dangerous for pilots and firefighters and can bring wildfire suppression efforts to a halt. Know before you fly. If you fly, we can’t.

National Voter Registration Month
Governor Brad Little and Secretary of State Phil McGrane officially declared September as National Voter Registration Month in Idaho with a proclamation encouraging all eligible citizens to register to vote or update their existing registration. This proclamation emphasizes the significance of voter participation and the need for awareness regarding state voting requirements and deadlines.
“We want every Idahoan to be ready to vote on Election Day. With the November 5th General Election just around the corner, it's important that everyone has the tools and information they need to participate in decisions that impact their communities," said Idaho Secretary of State Phil McGrane. "I appreciate Governor Little for recognizing this important month, as we look forward to historic turnout for the November Election in Idaho.”
Idaho joins other states in observing National Voter Registration Month in September, established in 2002 by the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) as a nonpartisan means of encouraging voter participation and increasing awareness around state requirements and deadlines for voting. During the month, National Voter Registration Day will be observed on September 17, 2024, with a voter registration drive at Gowen Field. Idaho residents may register online or check/update their registration at www.VoteIdaho.gov.
The Governor’s proclamation states, “I encourage all interested citizens, appropriate media outlets, and civic organizations to participate in this non-partisan voter registration awareness campaign to encourage the maximum participation of qualified voters in Idaho.”
To register to vote in Idaho, you must be a U.S. citizen, a resident of Idaho, and at least 18 years old by Election Day. The deadline to register online at VoteIdaho.gov before the November 5, 2024, general election is October 11, 2024. Sameday registration is also available at the polls on Election Day.

Changes Coming for the Postal Service
Whether it’s a birthday card or the magazine you’ll read in the car while your kid’s at soccer practice, it’s always exciting to get mail that’s not a bill. However, the United States Postal Service just pitched some changes that could affect how those items get delivered.
According to CBS News, USPS still isn’t where they want to be financially. That’s why they rolled out a 10-year “Delivering for America” plan a few years ago. The strategic plan is meant to help modernize and revitalize the postal service. Its ultimate goal is to improve things like logistics, USPS facilities/equipment and fleet vehicles. Those things take a little bit of money.
One of the ways they hope to save money is by changing their delivery logistics. Under the changes proposed in late August, USPS would save nearly $3 billion. By adjusting the pick-up and drop-off times for Post Offices that are far from regional hubs, they can reduce transportation costs and the number of trips that go through neighborhoods.
According to the fact sheet, 75% of First-Class Mail won’t be affected and in many cases, mail will actually move faster. The Washington Post wanted to know about that other 25%. Their article revealed the customers that would be most impacted by the changes, should they be approved, were those in rural areas. It’s not a secret that Idaho has a lot of those.
The Postmaster General, Louis DeJoy, told them that in some rural areas mail could start showing up 12 hours later. Another USPS Spokesman told CBS that delivery from rural areas could take up to 24 hours longer but would still arrive within five days. However, it’s something that Idahoans in rural areas might not have to worry about right away. The USPS says that if approved, they wouldn’t make these changes until after the 2024 election and holiday seasons have passed.

obituary
David Lee Anderson
David Lee Anderson, 59, passed away very peacefully at home in the early morning hours Friday, Aug 30, 2024. His wings were ready, our hearts were not.
He was the third child born to Waynette and Andy Anderson. Both parents remarried and he was joined by two more sisters and another brother. David grew up in Baker City, Oregon where he fell in love with the outdoors. He loved hunting, fishing, dirt bike riding, and golf. In high school, he excelled in wrestling and football.
After graduating high school, David married and had two daughters. He served 8 years in the Navy and his favorite deployment were the years spent in Scotland. He returned to Washington State to raise his girls. Eventually, he made his way to Idaho where he met and married his life partner Kristy Plutt (courtesy of some mutual friends).
David was very successful in every career he pursued. He moved to the Magic Valley to work for Glanbia Foods in Gooding and finally as the Director of Operations for Idaho Milk Products in Jerome, Idaho.
At home and at work, David loved to mentor the next generation (especially the Irish Grads). He loved to watch those who loved to learn, grow as individuals and be successful in work and in life. He lived by the motto "Don't Try, DO!" When his oldest daughter was graduating from high school, he asked her what she wanted. She said she wanted to catch a fish bigger than her.So, off they went to Alaska to accomplish that goal..........and they did!
Some of David's favorite things to do included fishing in Alaska, Washington, and Florida with his best friend Jeff; hunting in Montana with the nieces and nephews, and bird hunting in South Dakota with his dog Josie. Nothing was better than spending time with his children and grandchildren, whether it be watching movies, riding dirt bikes, or teaching them to fish, cook, tie flies, or simply to work hard with integrity.
He also loved to host dinners for his friends and family. Over the years, the "Shop" parties were an annual event and sometimes even more often. He enjoyed hosting Thanksgiving for anyone that was not able to go home (especially the Irish), epic summer blasts, trap shoots off the back hill, random Birthday parties and spur of the moment New Year's parties. Fun was had by all!
David is survived by his wife Kristy, daughters Jessi (Jeff) Bard and Dani Anderson; grandchildren Avery and Graci Bard and Bailynn Anderson; step mother Launi Anderson; siblings Donald (Colleen) Anderson, Tammy (Scott) Lamb, Jeff (Wendy) Anderson, Becky Haertel, Stephenie Merrill; and a large extended family including many nieces and nephews. Last but not least, he leaves behind his dogs Kenzie, Sammi and Josie.
He was preceded in death by his parents, step father Steve Waggoner, in laws John and Connie Plutt and nephew M.J. Simkins.
We would like to extend a special thank you to everyone who provided love and support in this last year, specifically the doctors and nurses at the Twin Falls Cancer Center, Enhabit Home Health & Hospice, John and Bonnie Bard, Jeff Anderson, Kelly Osborne, Mark Hayden and Jeff and Jen Walling.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, September 15th, at Gooding First Christian Church, 334 4th Ave West, Gooding, Idaho. Please wear greens and blues and bring your favorite Dave story to share with all.
Cremation arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service - Gooding Chapel.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to the MJ #18 Memorial Scholarship at The University of Montana Western Foundation, 710 S Atlantic, Dillon, MT 59725 or a Cancer Organization of your choice.

James Bradford Ritter
The time for the final harvest has come. James "Jim" Bradford Ritter, age 76 of Shoshone, ID, passed away at home with his family by his side on September 6, 2024.
Jim was born March 3, 1948 in Lusk, WY, the oldest of Walt and Jessie Ritter's five children. He had a sister Sue, and brothers David, Steve and Charlie.
When he was 5 years old, Jim's family moved from Wyoming to homestead outside of Rupert, ID. There, Jim attended school and learned to work the land. In 1966, he moved to Shoshone when his parents bought a farm outside of town. Shortly thereafter, Jim's life was changed forever when he met Linda Povalawski from Buhl. They were married in 1968 and had two children; a daughter, Lisa, in 1973, and a son, Jason, in 1978.
After getting married, Jim had several agricultural jobs across southern Idaho including at B&T Farms in Mountain Home, Feed Services in the Bruneau/ Grand View area, and later for the Valley Co-Ops in Shoshone. Jim rented a farm in Richfield before buying the Shoshone farm from his mother in 1976. He would remain there the rest of his days.
Farming was Jim's passion. Through determination and sheer stubbornness, he would coax life from the desert soil. He enjoyed teaching his wife and children how to grow crops, care for a herd of Charolais cattle, and all of the other lessons necessary on a family farm, if they wanted to learn them or not.
Jim was also a skilled mechanic, equally adept at repairing farm equipment as overhauling a car engine. He was particularly good at welding, able to repair broken parts or create new pieces. Jim's mechanic skills got a lot of practice over the years!
While farming and helping family and neighbors alike left little free time, in the summer Jim enjoyed camping in the mountains. In the winter, Jim would pull his children on sleds behind his Ford pickup across the snow-covered fields, something he enjoyed as much as they did. Occasionally, he would take those he cared about into town for "a pop and candy," just because.
Jim was a man of diverse interests. He equally enjoyed the outdoors and cowboy humor of Red Green, Patrick McManus, and Baxter Black, as much as he did watching Star Trek and science programs. Jim loved animals, especially his cow

dogs, and the many cats that were always around. He like to learn about how things worked, and never missed it when the Union Pacific steam-powered train came through Shoshone. He had a secret passion for photography, and Jim would get excited taking pictures of deer and other wildlife.
Jim enjoyed the simple pleasures of having coffee with friends at the Shoshone Sale Yard or the Eagle's Nest in Dietrich, the perfect places for him to share his dry sense of humor. In the twilight of his life, Jim spent his time connecting with family and friends. He enjoyed watching Denver and Boise State Broncos football, car races, and surprisingly, cooking shows. Jim, a sweet man, had a sweet tooth.
It was not an easy life, but Jim forever remained a devoted husband, father, and friend. Jim was a quiet and kind man who showed love through his actions. Jim Ritter will be missed, but not forgotten. The family would like to offer a special thanks to Jim's extended family, friends, those that helped at the farm, and everyone else that made his life worth living. They would like to thank Connie, Layla and the rest of the staff at Hospice Visions, and all the other doctors, nurses, therapists, and caregivers for their care and kindness.
James is survived by his wife Linda (Povalawski) Ritter; children Lisa Ritter (partner Jim Vaden) of Gooding, ID and Jason Ritter (wife Alecea Standlee) of Gettysburg, PA; sister Susan Johnson (husband Roger) of Gooding, ID; brothers David Ritter of Midvale, ID, Steven Ritter of Gooding, ID, and Charles Ritter of Shoshone, ID; and several nieces, nephews, grandnieces, and grandnephews. James is preceded in death by his parents Walter Ritter and Jessie (Klint) Ritter; stepmother Gayla (Adams-Burgess) Ritter; and nephew Ken "Chuck" Ritter.
A funeral service for James Ritter will be held on Saturday, September 14, 2024 at 4:00 PM in the First Baptist Church, 205 E 5th Street in Shoshone, Idaho.
A graveside service will follow at the Shoshone Cemetery with a reception back at the First Baptist Church.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks any donations be made in Jim's name to a local charity of your choice.
Funeral arrangements are under the direction of the Demaray Funeral Service – Shoshone Chapel. Condolences, memories and photos can be shared with the family by following the obituary link at www.demarayfuneralservice.com

2024 Upland Game Bird Outlook
Idaho, with one of the most rugged landscapes in the union, offers a ton of upland game bird hunting opportunities. Whether you find yourself in the high-mountain timber or the lowland-sagebrush steppe, there’s a good chance you’re in upland bird country.
Upland game birds are sensitive to environmental factors - like temperature and precipitation - and often vary in number from year to year. Oftentimes these can be very localized, so hunters may not see the same impact in other parts of the state.
Because of this, it’s difficult to provide a forecast across the board; however, Idaho Fish and Game Upland Game and Migratory Game Bird Coordinator Jeff Knetter says temperature and precipitation during the nesting season were very similar to last year and could be beneficial for upland bird populations this fall.
"Weather during late spring and early summer were quite similar to the previous two years. However, there was more precipitation coming into the nesting season and it was a bit warmer this year,” Knetter said. “These conditions provided quality nesting and brood-rearing habitat. July was exceptionally hot and dry, but early reports suggest many species fared better than anticipated.” Due to continued hot and dry conditions, birds will likely be concentrated around water sources, particularly early in the season.
Many upland game bird populations rebounded in 2023, and there should be carryover into the fall 2024 season. Habitat conditions should be in good shape, and there should be an abundance of insects for brood-rearing.
There's ample opportunity for upland hunters to pursue a wide variety of birds across diverse landscapes in Idaho, and upland birds in some areas will have fared better than others depending on localized conditions.
To provide an idea of what's available this hunting season, Fish and Game's wildlife biologists in each region compiled an overview of upland game birds in their necks of the woods, so hunters can get a look at their favorite areas and quarry.
Magic Valley Region
To find places to hunt upland game, check out the Hunting Access webpage, which includes Fish and Game's Wildlife Management Areas and Access Yes! properties.
To learn about upland game bird hunting rules and seasons, and more information, see Fish and Game's Upland Bird Hunting webpage. Be sure to pick up a copy of the 2024-25 Upland Game, Furbearer and Turkey Seasons and Rules booklet from all Fish and Game offices and license vendors, as well as digitally on Fish and Game’s website.
Average winter precipitation and good spring weather created great habitat conditions for upland game birds throughout the region. Fish and Game field staff are reporting high numbers of quail and partridge across the region compared to recent years. Pheasants are well below the long-term average due to continued habitat loss; however, localized areas in Jerome and Gooding counties still offer decent opportunity. Surveys are not conducted for forest grouse, but these species are somewhat buffered from drought and other unfavorable conditions because forbs and insects tend to persist longer in higher-elevation habitats.
With hot and dry conditions this summer, birds will likely be concentrated around water and food sources. While the mix of both good and bad conditions for upland game birds over the past several years has made it difficult to forecast numbers in the fall, it is expected that several game bird populations have increased from 2023 and will be above the 10-year average.
