As we creep into fall weather, many of our communities are holding late summer events. The Cheese Wine & Beer Fest in Gooding (Friday), the Lost N Lava Cowboy Gathering in Shoshone ( Friday & Saturday), and the Car Show in Hagerman (Saturday), all have something that will appeal to young and old. You can even visit all three events... with the right timing. For those who are interested in politics, Lt. Governor Janice McGeachin will be in Fairfield on Saturday as part of her campaign for Governor. There will be an Idaho Spud Baked Potato Bar starting a noon. By Adare Evans, Wildlife Educator

Idaho Exploring Legal Action Against Biden's COVID-19 Plan
Governor Brad Little issued the following expanded statement regarding President Joe Biden's plan to fine private employers with 100 or more employees that do not mandate the COVID-19 vaccine or routine testing.
"The State of Idaho is exploring legal action to stop President Biden's unprecedented government overreach into the private sector with his new COVID-19 plan. I am working closely with my legal counsel and Attorney General Lawrence Wasden on legal options to protect the rights of business owners and their employees. I have been consistent that government should stay out of decisions involving employers and their employees as much as possible. I've advocated for and championed fewer government regulations and mandates on business. I am also deeply concerned with the president's tone in his message to the American people with his new plan. It is wrong for President Biden to dismiss the concerns of millions of Americans and tell governors who represent Americans that he will use his powers as president to get them out of the way. This is not leadership. When President Biden took office, he promised to do his best to unify our country, and he has only driven us further apart. President Biden is out of touch, and his mandates only add to the divisiveness within our country. I still urge Idahoans to choose to receive the safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine and other ways to protect themselves and others from COVID-19 so our kids can stay in school and for the continued health and prosperity of the people of Idaho."
The Idaho Republican Party issued their own statement as well. "These sweeping mandates constitute one of the most egregious and tyrannical violations of the 10th amendment our country has ever faced. The 10th amendment clearly states that the federal government’s power is limited to those powers specifically identified in the U.S. constitution. If the constitution does not specifically grant power to the federal government then that power is left to the states and5..... individual see page citizens. Nowhere in our U.S. constitution is a power granted to the president to force companies or individuals to receive a medical procedure or vaccination," said IDGOP Chairman Tom Luna.
If you would like to try pheasant hunting, youth seasons for licensed hunters 17 years or younger run Oct. 2-8. Youth must be accompanied by an adult 18 years or older. Adult seasons vary across the state depending on area and whether the hunter is a resident or nonresident. Check the Upland Game, Turkey and Furbearer Seasons and Rules booklet for more information on pheasant seasons. Ring-necked pheasants were first introduced to Oregon from China in 1881. Since then, pheasants have been introduced across the country. These prized game birds are a treat to hunt and eat. To be a successful hunter, you need to know about your quarry’s habitat and behavior. Let’s take a look at this staple of fall hunting. In Idaho, ring-necked pheasants are widely distributed in agricultural areas intermixed with taller vegetation. Look for them along rural roadsides, overgrown and recently harvested fields, brushy areas and fence rows. Pheasants may be found along the Snake River Plain from the Oregon border to central Idaho. They are present in lower densities in agricultural habitats below 5,000 feet in eastern Idaho and below 4,000 feet in northern Idaho from Benewah County south to Whitebird. The highest pheasant harvest typically occurs in the Southwest, Magic Valley and Southeast regions. Some of the best hunting can be found off the beaten path and on private lands where much of the best habitat occurs. Hunters willing to do some walking and knock continued on page 8... on doors may find good success.

Letters to the Editor MEET AND EAT Want to Help the Seniors?
The Camas Senior Center is a great place for people of all ages to meet, visit, and enjoy great food. Lunch is served on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and it's hard to beat the price: $5 for seniors, $6 for non-seniors (11 to 59), and $2 for those 10 and under. Meals are not just for seniors... all ages are welcome! It has been a tough year for everyone, and the Senior Center can use your support. Come in for lunch - and help us keep the doors for many years to come. Margaret Brackenbury, Loyal member of the Camas County Senior and Community Center ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ To all Who Love our Forests, The Sawtooth Forest Service is asking for public opinion on control burns of 10 to 10,000 acres in size for 15-20 years. I absolutely do not trust the Sawtooth Forest Service doing control burns. The only fires that should be set are residue fires after timber sales have been completed. No fires should be allowed before November 1st. I know of 2 US Forest Service Tree Plantations that were lost as a result of "control" burns. I know of fires that started in August that they chose not to put out, but instead "control" and "guide". They all became disasters. Everyone should contact Sawtooth National Forest personnel and say No to their prescribed fire projects at: www.fs.usda.gov/project/?project=59503. OR by contacting Christine Handler at 559-920-2188 or handler@usda.gov You can also send regular mail to: Sawtooth National Forest Supervisor Office Attn: Prescribed Fire Project Comments 370 American Ave ~ Jerome, ID 83338 Comments are only allowed until October 1, 2021.

Camas Quips Gathered by Tee Hurd
A traveling evangelist in a small western city stopped a newsboy and inquired the way to the post office. He received a good answer and with thanks he said to the boy, "You are a bright lad. Do you know who I am?" The boy replied, "No sir, I don't." "Well, I'm the preacher who is holding revival meeting tonight in the church up the road. Come to the service tonight and I'll show you the way to heaven." The young boy replied, "I won't be there, sir. How can you know the way to heaven when you don't even know where the post office is?" -- -- -"Now Robbie," said his mother. "Don't be selfish. Let your little brother have the sled half the time." "I do," said Robbie. "I have it going downhill and he has it coming up." -- -- -Fathers should not be discouraged if their sons reject their advice. It will not be wasted. They will offer it to their own sons later.
Greg arrived home with two black eyes. "Have you been fighting again?" asked his mother. "Didn't I tell you when you lose your temper to count to 100 before you do anything?" Greg replied, "Yes, but Mark's mother only told him to count to 50." -- -- -Children have grown up when they ask questions that have answers. -- -- -Six phases of a project: 1-Enthusiasm, 2-Disillusionment, 3-Panic, 4-Search for the guilty, 5-Punishment of the innocent, and 6-Praise and honors for the non-participants. -- -- -The difference between a general practioner and a specialist is one treats what you have, and the other thinks you have what he treats. -- -- -He was given a $5 intro for a 15 cent talk.

William Rolland Simon
William "Bill" Rolland Simon, 60, a resident of Fairfield in Camas County Idaho, passed away Friday, September 3, 2021, while enjoying his favorite pastime of fly-fishing. Bill was born January 17, 1961, in Gooding, Idaho, to William "Bill" A., and Shirley Simon. He was raised on the family farm in Camas County with his sister Debbie and brother David. He was educated in Fairfield, Idaho home of the Camas County Mushers. Nothing would impact him more than finding purpose in Jesus. His choice to trust Jesus's teachings would influence decisions made throughout his life. After graduating from high school in 1979, Bill attended the University of Idaho where he was a member of the Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE) Greek Fraternity. During college he met the love of his life, Shari Shigeta, whom he married on August 6, 1983. Bill completed his Ag. Economics bachelor's degree in 1984, he then went to work at a bank in Palouse, Washington. He returned to the Camas Prairie in 1985 to farm with his father and brother, David, and later joined S&L Commodities, a local hay broker for several years. He served on the County Planning & Zoning Committee and the Camas County School Board. He was admired for being levelheaded, honest, and fair in his work and service. The addition of three sons completed Bill and Shari's family. Being a man of God, he was always involved in his wife and sons' life. He would walk alongside them with support, gentleness, kindness, and humility. He displayed this through his involvement in their sports, hobbies, and pursuits. Never imposing excessive high expectations, but always encouraging joy and commitment. He was a man of many interests from skiing, various high school sports, salvaging old barnwood, restoring a 1969 GTO, RC planes, photography (scenic, portraits, school memory mates), working on a 1941 dodge army truck, flying drones, target shooting, furniture crafting, home improvement, fly fishing, and taking care of his dogs throughout the years. Bill loved sharing these hobbies and spending time with his family and friends. Bill was preceded in death by his brother - David Simon. Bill is survived by his wife – Shari Simon; parents – Bill A. and Shirley Simon; his sister – Debbie (Matt) McLam; His sons – Jacob, George, and Jack Simon; and his grand puppy – Ziva, the corgi.

Wayne Leland Fattig was born September 4, 1927 and passed to our Heavenly Father on August 21, 2021. Wayne was the third son of Elmer and Ruth Heldenbrand Fattig. He attended school in Ringgold, Nebraska where he was taught by his cousin, Margaret Fowler. In 1941, the family moved to Idaho and purchased the dairy farm where he resided until his passing. In February of 1942, following the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Howard, Wayne’s oldest brother, was drafted. Clifford, the middle brother, was drafted in 1943. This left farming duties to Wayne at the age of 16. In 1946, Wayne was drafted and sent to Camp Crowder in Missouri and Fort Monmouth in New Jersey before being sent to Japan to teach soldiers how to repair telephones and switchboards. While in basic training at Camp Crowder, Wayne was one of two soldiers to receive a marksmanship award, which is displayed on his army jacket. Wayne spent a year in Japan before returning home in 1947. In 1948, Wayne and Patsy Byrd met at an Appleton School playground. They were married May 24, 1950 in Pocatello, Idaho. In July of 1951, Wayne and Patsy welcomed their first child, Susan. In January 1954, they welcomed a son, Robert. In 1962, after the passing of Wayne’s parents, they bought the farm and named it Sage Acres. Over the years, Wayne and Patsy traveled to numerous places including Europe, Hawaii, Alaska, Washington D.C., and California. Wayne also had numerous hobbies such as collecting tractors, cameras, and hats. He put his marksmanship skills to good use at clay pigeon shoots. He loved animals, auctions, and all the people who passed through his doors. There wasn’t much on the farm that he couldn’t fix. Wayne is survived by Patsy, his wife of 71 years; his children, Susan (Rod); and Robert (Teri); his three grandchildren, Jerry, Michele (Chris), and Jeff (Michelle); as well as four great grandchildren, Nolan, Abby, Andrew, and Emalee. He was preceded in death by his parents; three brothers, and an infant son. A graveside memorial service was held on Friday, October 1, 2021, at the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery, Boise. Memories and condolences may be shared with the family on Wayne’s memorial webpage at www.farnsworthmortuary.com

and formerly of Gooding, passed away on Friday, September 10, 2021 at her home with family by her side. She was a fighter and had survived cancer back in the late 70’s but unfortunately she was once again diagnosed with cancer in April and this time the cancer won. She was a fighter and always looked for the positive in every situation and in everyone. It was extremely rare to not see a smile on her face. Dollie was born on September 10, 1934 in Lenepah, Oklahoma the daughter of Florene and Charlie Adams. Her mom passed away when she was very young and her grandparents raised her while her dad relocated to the Gooding area. She attended school in Delaware, Oklahoma until her junior year when she joined her dad in Gooding. She graduated from Gooding High School. She married Floyd (Jerry) Egersdorf on July 5, 1952 in Gooding, Idaho. After Jerry passed away in 2000, she met and married Delmer Aldrich on August 14, 2002 in Featherville, Idaho, who was by her side until she passed away. Dollie spent 69 years living on the property that her and Jerry purchased until her children moved her to Twin Falls. Dollie worked for Safeway as a meat wrapper for 20 years and continued with the store when it became IGA and then Ridley’s Food and Drug as scan coordinator until she retired in 1999. She also managed the movies in six different stores, in six different towns, for many years with the help of family. There were many hours of watching movies to see if the disks were defective. She was an active member of Red-Hot Mamas (Red Hat Society), and traveled many miles to different Funventions, in and out of state, with her Red Hat Sisters over the years. She always looked forward to their monthly activities they planned. If you had visited her home, you could see she loved being a Red Hatter by all the Red Hat items in her home. Dollie was a member of the Gooding Hospital auxiliary and loved spending time volunteering in the thrift store. After she married Del, she joined the Gooding American Legion and looked forward to selling poppies each year outside the Post Office. Family meant everything to Dollie and she attended as many activities as she could for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She enjoyed camping and spent several summers with a trailer set up at Little Smokey and then later spent several summers with a trailer set up at at Featherville. She was a member of the Gooding Methodist Church where she taught Sunday School for many years when her children were young. She was also active with the scouting program the church sponsored when her boys were young. Dollie attended a Walk to Emmaus and would assist with different walks in some way until she was no longer able to. Dollie is survived by: her husband - Del (Delmer) Aldrich of Twin Falls; her sons – David W. (Karen) Egersdorf of Twin falls and Steven (Julie) Egersdorf of Heber, Utah; a daughter – Shelly (Kent) Waters of Twin Falls; seven grandchildren – Richard M. Egersdorf, Melody Egersdorf, Suzen Day, David Mathew Egersdorf, Martin King, Jonathon Temes, Karisa Anderson; 12 great-grandchildren and many others who called her mom and grandma. She was preceded in death by: her parents; her sisters – Joyce Chilton and Stella Adams; her brothers – Walter Adams and Raymond Adams; and one great grandchild - Michael Dean Temes. A celebration of life for Dollie will be held on Friday, October 8, 2021, at Demaray Funeral Chapel in Gooding, at 11:00 am with Pastor Amanda Gayle Reed officiating.

Jerry "John" Peter Archambeau
Born December 9, 1936 --- Died August 30, 2021
Today the world is a bit dimmer with the passing of this noble and humble man. John passed away peacefully at St. Luke’s Hospital in Twin Falls, surrounded by his family due to complications from the Covid Virus. John was the son of Peter Leroy Archambeau and Corrine Alice Sherman Redbear. He was born in a small community near the Rosebud Sioux Reservation. He was a member of the Rosebud and Yankton Sioux Tribes. His older brothers, Homer, Joseph and Peter and his younger brother James preceded him in death. His older sisters Charlotte and Dorothy and younger sisters Mae, Dollares and Margaret also preceded him in death. He is survived by his younger sisters Beverly, Colleen and Denise, all of Mitchell, South Dakota. Once in a while our Heavenly Fathers places a special person among us to teach us how to love unconditionally, to learn humility, to serve others with a joyful heart, to be happy with the simple pleasures of life and to keep our life uncluttered and to always find the best in all situations and other people. Even though John was mentally handicapped, possessing the understanding of a young child, he had mastered all of these qualities and was a source of happiness to all who knew him. To him happiness was his dog named Rover, whose job it was to go into his bedroom and with a lot of licking, wake John up so he could get ready for the day. This was left to Rover because John was not a “morning person” and how could he resist starting each day with his dog, by his side, or more accurately in his face. Over the years he demonstrated a remarkable memory, especially when it came to cars. When any family member came to visit, he would hurry outside to first give you one of his best bear hugs and then look your car over. He could tell you what model and color it was and then remind you that he liked Chevrolets. He could tell you the model and color of cars you had owned in the past and the one you were driving now was the best. One of his greatest dreams was to learn how to drive and with some planning and patience he was given a 2005 Chevrolet pickup. It never left the yard but he beamed when he drove the truck a little bit forward and backwards in the driveway, all on his own. Who knows how many miles he put on that truck? Next, he moved on to operating a backhoe with a bit of supervision. The true test came when he had the chance to drive the new riding lawn mower, he didn’t do as well on this venture and ran into the house and cracked the front engine cover. He was always looking for ways to do things others take for granted. John was a friend to all he met. He valued time spent with them. Everyone returned his friendship and one in particular went above and beyond to be John’s friend. While John lived in Wendell and Twin Falls, for many years, Jimmy Joe would pick up John early in the morning and they would go and spend the entire day together at the cattle sale barn. When the day was done, both came home thinking they had made some good buys. John trusted Jimmy Joe more than any person we knew. They seemed to be made for each other. We like to think they communicated soul to soul on a personal level. John led a full and long life. He enjoyed every day and took the challenges that came his way with courage. John was not someone who saw something that needed to be done without acting. He was always trying to be helpful. He loved to fish and camp or just spend time with anyone who needed his brand of comfort. Our lives won’t be the same without him and that is a tribute to him. We were tasked with taking care of him and in the end, it was he who took care of us. We have learned so much from his example and our hearts are full having spent this time with him. Our hearts seem heavy and yet they are so full and light. We know that he is back with the rest of his family. Just as we held his hand when he spent his last few seconds in mortality, we knew other hands were reaching out to guide him home. I am sure that by now he has heard the words “Well done thy good and faithful servant.” Thank you for making all of us better. Funeral services were held on Wednesday, September 8, 2021, at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints in Wendell, Idaho, with Bishop Heath Henderson of the Wendell First Ward officiating. Interment followed at the Wendell Cemetery. Funeral arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service.

...100 Years of Pheasants cont.
An important habitat need for pheasants is dense cover. Nesting cover needs to be at least 18 inches high. The nest is a shallow depression scratched out by the female. Usually 10 to 12 eggs are laid, but sometimes two hens use the same nest. This may increase the number of eggs found in one nest to 23. In about 24 days, the eggs hatch. The young are precocial, meaning they are able to walk and find food on their own just after hatching. Permanent cover that provides protection from winter weather is also important. Winter shelter may be found in bushes and trees along waterways, shelterbelts and fencerows. Pheasants need abundant water and food. They forage on the ground for grain, seeds and insects. A good place to look for pheasants are harvested fields with waste corn, wheat and barley. Pheasants usually walk or run. They fly when disturbed at close range. Strong breast muscles supply bursts of power. Pheasants are capable of a heartjumping flush. They launch almost vertically at speeds close to 40 miles-per-hour. The launch is impressive, but they can’t sustain flight for great distances. Pheasants usually don’t cover more than about 200 yards in a single flight. Hunters with a good pointing dog or those quick on the draw will have the greatest success at getting a shot. Photo by Joe Kozfkay
