Fire Reveals Archaeological Resources

Youth Camp Dedicated On Saturday, September15th, the Intermountain Christian Camp (AKA - The Bundy Youth Ranch) north of Fairfield was host to a celebration of a milestone the completetion of the multi-use building. Folks from more than a dozen Idaho communities, as well as several surrounding states, gathered together for a BBQ, a chance to tour the building and the grounds, and to celebrate the Lord’s provision of a great youth camp. If you would a closer look at what goes on in the foothills of the Soldier Mountains, they will be holding their 17th
annual Christian Men’s Retreat this weekend, September 20-22. Call 764-2204 or go to iccfairfield.com. Cost is $60. Bring your son or grandson. Throughout the summer ICC offers camps for all ages of kids from 2nd grade through high school, and if you are a Paintball fan, they have an extra special camp. Offered in June of each year, the SWAT Leadership Camp takes high school students through a 10-day mini boot camp (not for the faint of heart). Only 16 young men will be accepted into the training. So, start thinking about it now (applications accepted in February). ICC is a great asset to the Fairfield community, but it would have never happened without the many volunteers. A particular honor needs to be given to Wayne and Geraldine Dake who spend many years living at the camp as managers and caretakers, and to the Gray Family of Gooding who’s generous donations have helped make this camp debt free.

TWIN FALLS, ID - Every year, wildfires clear thousands of acres of vegetation, frequently revealing artifacts of cultural and historical significance. When these relics become exposed, they often contribute to learning more about the history of the area, and the BLM very much appreciates those members of the public who report these findings to them for further research and enhancement of the agency’s own historical records. On the other hand, the exposure of these relics creates opportunity for vandalism or theft of precious resources. ”While the disturbance of relics is many times innocent in nature, it is important to remember that there are federal laws in place designed to protect these artifacts and historic symbols,” said BLM Burley Field Office Archeologist Suzann Henrikson. “As many acres have burned - close to 400,000 BLM acres on the Twin Falls District alone - we thought this would be a good time to remind our recreating public of the regulations surrounding picking up an arrowhead or other relic from public land.” Archaeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA) was passed in 1979 and prohibits activities including excavation, removal, and damaging or otherwise altering or defacing archaeological resources on public lands without a permit. The sale, purchase, exchange, transport or receipt of any illegally removed archaeological

Thousand Springs Festival September 29—30, 2012 The 20th annual Thousand Springs Festival of the Arts will be held on Sept. 29th and 30th, 2012. With over 4,000 guests having traveled off the beaten path to attend last year’s event, organizers are sure the festival is only going to grow in popularity. Many of the 60-plus artisans who have participated in the festival are nationally recognized. All of the work is quality, in addition to being affordable. So, if you missed that certain kind of pottery, glasswork or vintage-designed clothing that you always meant to buy but postponed, you’ll have another chance this year to grab that special artwork. As always, the festival will feature two full days of live music. It includes jazz, acoustical guitar, blues and more. The sound system pumps music throughout the park so that you can enjoy it while you’re sitting in front of the sound stage, sitting under the shade trees, enjoying a meal of local food specialties such as Basque cuisine, authentic Mexican, barbecued pork or locally raised trout, or sharing a glass of wine or beer with friends, or perusing the crafts and information booths. There will be kids activities and lots of demonstrations from skilled craftsmen and artisans. You can take a canoe ride or a hay ride and enjoy the beauty of Ritter Island, which many Idahoans consider simply to be the most beautiful spot in the entire state. Admission is $6 for Adults, $5 for Seniors (62 & over), and $3 for Children (5 - 12). Infants (4 & under) are Free. Located at 1205 Thousand Springs Grade, Wendell, Idaho. Free Parking & Shuttles.

...but never Compromising the Truth.
Camas County Chautauqua Chautauqua (she-taw-kwa) was an adult education movement in the United States, highly popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Chautauqua assemblies expanded and spread throughout rural America until the mid1920s. The Chautauqua brought entertainment and culture for the whole community, with speakers, teachers, musicians, entertainers, preachers, and specialists of the day. Former U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt was quoted as saying that Chautauqua is “the most American thing in America. In the ongoing tradition of education and entertainment the Camas County Library Foundation again is delighted to present a nationally known and highly acclaimed author (and local resident) Judith Freeman at the library meeting room on Friday evening the 21st of September, at 7 o:clock. Judith will talk about the art of writing fiction, and her current interest in animal stories. She will revisit, discuss, and read from some of her earlier work as a writer and how that reconnects her with the work she is doing now. There will be a question and answer period at the end of her presentation, so all of you closet writers come prepared with a question you are burning to have answered about the craft. Don’t miss it! The evening is free and light refreshments will be served.
Tonight at the Gooding County Museum What was it like to travel 2000 miles... in a Wagon Train? Why did so many people leave their homes and businesses and travel to an unknown territory? How would you pack for a five month journey? On September 19th at 7 p.m., the Gooding County Museum will host its Speaker Night with the Hagerman Fossil Bed National Monument Rangers. They will share what would have happened to people that traveled on the Oregon Trail back in the mid 1800’s. This will be good for adults and kids alike. The lecture starts at 7 p.m. in the Museum Community Room and will run approximately an hour. Refreshments to follow. This event is FREE. Refreshments to follow. For more information, call 934-5318.

Pamela K. Fleming Pamela Kay Wert Fleming has left this world to be with her Father in Heaven. We know she will be greeted by her Grandma Annie, her Mom and many other loved ones who will be waiting with open arms. The cancer she has courageously battled for the past five years became incredible peace on September 11, 2012. Pam was born to Wayne Keith Wert and Mildred Virginia Andrus Wert in Twin Falls, Idaho on January, 29, 1947. She grew up in Wendell. The oldest of two sisters and one brother, she graduated from Wendell High School in 1965. Pam met Bill Fleming at Wendell High School and they were later married on December 18, 1965. They lived for a short time in Burley where Pam attended Beauty School. Later they moved to the farm in Wendell where they operated Flemingo Dairy and worked 200 acres of farmland for nearly 29 years. Pam always worked right alongside Bill and dearly loved her farm girl life. She did everything from milking cows to baling hay. It wasn’t just about the work they did, but the time it allowed them to instill good work habits in their children and spend time together as a family. Pam moved to Boise in 2001 and spent eight years as a city girl. She met wonderful new friends through the LDS church and was able to fulfill her dream of being endowed in the Temple. While she loved being closer to grandkids, she always knew that Wendell was her home and that she would eventually move back there to be closer to her siblings, her father, and Kathy’s family. Pam created beautiful craft work. She made quilts for most of her family, BSU bells for game time, patriotic Levi jackets, little purses, etc. She took great pride in her work and loved sharing these things with family members or selling them in the little shop at the Farmhouse Restaurant in Wendell. Family pinochle parties were one of her favorite things. She liked the card game, but really enjoyed the food and the time spent laughing and joking with family members. Surely the angels will deal her a moon shooter. Mom also loved camping and traveling. She was able to visit Australia, New Zealand, Europe, the Netherlands, Hawaii, Washington DC, the Kennedy Space Center, Nebraska, Disney World and take lots of trips to Disneyland with grandkids. Pam was a true patriot and dearly loved the United States of America and those who defend our freedoms. She enjoyed traveling to local and national American Legion events with Dee Collins of Wendell. Mom always said, “The best part of any parade will always be the American flag.” Her favorite campsite was near the water at Redfish Lake and many marshmallows were burned
while teaching grandkids her favorite songs. As long as she was able, mom never missed any event her kids or grandkids were in. Always cheering them on in whatever they were doing. Mom is now our Guardian Angel. Her body was worn out, but her spirit remains. Cancer will never again prevent her from being on the sidelines cheering, keeping score, or clapping and giving the thumbs up sign from the audience. And, she will forever wave her little American flag when the National Anthem is sung. Pam is survived by all four of her children, Curtis Fleming of Wendell, Jerry and wife Tami Fleming of Meridian, Wendy and husband Scott Spiers of Boise, and Kathy and husband Brett Humphries of Wendell. Twelve grandchildren; Mitch, Jori, Savannah, Michael, Kaitlyn, Peyton, Robbie, Kelsee, Reece, Adam, Kayden and Kobe. The children and grandchildren ALL played a huge role in Grandmas life. She is also survived by her father Keith Wert, sister Melanie (Tom) Mattix, brother Phil (June) Wert and the father of her children Bill Fleming, all of Wendell. Pam was preceded in death by her mother, Mildred Wert. We thank God for our close and loving family; all gathered around Mom as she went to be with her Heavenly Father. The family would like to thank Dr. Lamm, the nurses and staff at St. Lukes Hospital in Twin Falls. Donations will be accepted by the family to create a memorial in Pam’s honor. Service were held on Monday, September 17, 2012 at the Wendell LDS Church. Burial followed at the Wendell Cemetery.

Open Monday thru Saturday
HOUNDSTONGUE A Sticky Situation I want to write a little about an Idaho Noxious Weed that has been rearing it’s ugly head in this area for a few years now. Isn’t it interesting how I always use words like “ugly” & “scurge”, when writing about Noxious Weeds? Anyway, H O U N D S T O N G U E , Cynoglossum officinale, is a biennial or short-lived perennial, is of the borage family, native of Europe and Toxic to livestock. This plant reproduces by seed that is spread by “hook-like” hairs on the seed that attach to animals, clothes and other appendages. This makes the seed very easily dispersed for long distances. We are finding them in areas that are bird hunted often and suspect they are being spread, unknowingly, by hunters and their dogs. Livestock can disseminate this pest as well, so beware of any seed pod sticking to the fur of such animals. This plant can be identified by “Googling” it. There are some very good illustrations on these sites. OR if you find a plant you suspect may be Houndstongue, call your local Noxious Weed Control Superintendent. Terry D. Ruby Tri-County Noxious Weed Control Superintendent

Cup of Tee
Seems like gas companies and futures buyers use every excuse they can to get the price of fuel up or so it don’t go down. Twice now in seven years they have used New Orleans as a 45-cent increase in fuel. (Every time a third world country discovers fuel, our prices go up as well). Excuses are cheap but sure keep gas prices up. I decided I have some excuses that each time one of these happens, the price of fuel should go down. -------------------Senior citizens just lost a few more dollars on their benefits. The price of fuel should go down 30-cent in one swing. “The dog ate my homework.” That excuse alone should get new paper work in order. New jobs would be created thus allowing a few more cents a gallon off. “It was a trick question.” This excuse should get fuel to drop daily. Aren’t we all getting tricked? “Didn’t you know it was a weed?” So many times what sees to be so pretty and nice to us is really noxious (unwanted, uncontrolled, and wide spread) answers. “I didn’t see the sign.” Good excuse for one being lost or without the proper information. This excuse should get a few cents off simply because technology changes so fast. “The alarm didn’t go off.” That excuse is pretty good when you were obviously late to work because you were counting coins to get enough money to get gas to go to work. An alarm should be sent to our Legislative leaders. “It was a typo, I didn’t really mean that.” That happens to me weekly, no one is perfect. What a perfect excuse to get fuel prices down. Be truthful fuel companies you just want to make large profits. Quit filling our head with propaganda, instead say our tanks are full, we need to sell our inventory at a lower price so we can fill again. “Because everyone does it.” Everyone doesn’t conduct business with the thought that they purposely are out to cripple the American people. As you can see any excuse you have heard from children all the way to the government could be a legit excuse to lower fuel. Come on fuel companies and future buyers quit with the excuses there is NO EXCUSE to run America down. This is my “Cup of Tee” barring fuelish excuses. Tee Hurd

America’s Most Diverse Food Basket SIEDO Celebrates 11th Anniversary TWIN FALLS, ID — September 13, 2012 — Southern Idaho today celebrated its 11th year of economic development success at Southern Idaho Economic Development Organization (SIEDO) Anniversary Summit. Over 100 attendees heard of the region’s business recruitments, expansions and potential new businesses currently considering new operations in southern Idaho. In addition, SIEDO revealed – supported by numerous significant facts – that the region can be distinguished as “America’s Most Diverse Food Basket.” With southern Idaho ag production in 19 categories ranking in the top 4 in Idaho and in 16 categories in the top 13 nationally, attendees learned that this region is not only unique in the state but in the country as well. “We don’t believe there is any other region in the country that surpasses southern Idaho in our ag diversity and depth of ag products,” said Jan Rogers, executive director of Southern Idaho Economic Development Organization (SIEDO). “In our six-county region, we contribute a whopping $14 billion of total agriculture output to the state’s $19 billion. While that’s significant, this rural region contributes to 19 different agriculture categories, from bean seeds to caviar. Southern Idaho can rightfully claim the title of ‘America’s Most Diverse Food Basket’” she said. A representative from Independent Meat, Clear Springs Foods and Idaho Dairymen’s Association spoke during the Summit, verifying how ag related businesses operate so successfully in this region. “In the past, when we have looked at production expansion and where to deploy new capital, Twin Falls has held the winning hand,” explained Patrick Florence, president of Independent Meat. “We know the terrain and have long term relationships with both suppliers and customers. Even with Southern Idaho’s significant growth, the community has retained its rural character. Our neighbors understand, appreciate and respect our efforts as farmers and food processors to feed them and, in this global economy, the world,” he said. Independent Meat has operated in Twin Falls for over 100 years. Other speakers representing the Idaho Department of Commerce and Idaho Department of Agriculture shared the impact of southern Idaho’s ag sector on the state, national and international food economy.

...but never Compromising the Truth.
The definition in Wikipedia for potlucks is; “A gathering of people where each person or group of people contributes a dish of food prepared by the person or the group of people, to be shared among the group.” Sounds correct, doesn’t it? A person cooks or prepares a dish and brings it to be shared with everyone attending the event. Well, I believe that is the definition of potlucks in the past! I have recently been to a few potlucks and might as well have picked up one of following: a prepared veggie tray with the plastic dome over it, some red plastic solo cups, bottles of pop, a box of fried chicken, or a bag of potato chips! Where is the food “PREPARED” by the person or group of people? What happened to the homemade desserts like “Dump Cake”, the potato and macaroni salads, freshly baked pies made from scratch, the homemade chili and baked beans, and the huge brown sugar and pineapple roasted hams? Was it all just a dream? These homemade items seem so few and far between these days!!! If we look back at the 50’s and 60’s, most Moms were still at home. Their main focus was taking care of the family and serving three meals a day. I guess a dish at a potluck could be equated to a presentation at a board meeting. At times, maybe there was a bit of competition between the ladies too. Is that why the food was homemade and tasted so much better? I’m just asking... Now, this generation of mothers and wives has to work a full-time job and take care of the house and the kids. The food industry and advertising agencies know that! They create products that are EASY, no hassle, just microwave it for two minutes and it’s done! Or maybe you don’t have to cook it at all, and it will be prepared and in a decorative plastic tray in the “Ready to Go” section at the market. So how far down the list is the contribution to this Saturday’s potluck? Let’s see; drop Bobbie off at the soccer game, pick up the dry cleaning, take Grannie to Bingo at the Senior Center, and.....bring something to the potluck. That’s where it is on the list, the bottom! You can stop at the store on the way there, and it will be ready and waiting. Then there are the “potluck criminals”. The crime is misrepresentation of food preparation, or “Potluck Fraud”. There’s a new breed of crooks out there. The ones who buy the prepared food and put it in a pretty dish for display, to fool you into thinking that it is homemade. Or worse yet, they put the food in an old 1970’s Corning Ware dish. (You know, the white dishes with the little blue daisies on the side?) So there’s the potato salad in it’s endearing little vessel sitting on the potluck table. You take the first bite, and there it is. You taste the dreaded evidence of a cardboard container! All display and no effort, and the end of an era. Sadly, there are also those out there that really try to make something from scratch but do not have the talent. The effort is put in, the dish is pretty, and the food is actually ghastly! They do not deserve to go to “food jail” or pay a “potluck fine”. They tried but it’s just a case of the “Flavor Insanity” defense. These people are not potluck criminals as was previously described. It’s not their fault, but the eaters need to be cautious of them and act accordingly. That’s where the strategy of the “small sample” plate on the first go-round the table comes into effect. Then if there is
The Courier NEWS - 11 a flavor assault you can easily steer clear of that dish on your second tour of the potluck offerings. I also know of some “food antagonists” who come to these events. These are the ones who do not like to cook, or simply would not choose to come to the potluck if they could get out of it. A friend of mine who shall remain anonymous, Walt, said he popped a bag of microwave popcorn as his contribution and ate half of it on the way to the party!! If that’s not a sign of “food you”, I don’t know what is. Food contributions can also be a sign of the current state of our society’s evolution. Case in point; “Snicker Bar Salad”. Yes it’s good, really good...but in a very bad way. It’s vanilla pudding, chopped Snicker bars, chopped apples, and sliced grapes. I can’t help but think that this was created by someone in the middle of a food binge, who tried to right their wrong the next day by adding fruit and bringing it to a social event. “See other people are eating it, and it’s a salad. I’m ok.” There are so many in this category; JelloPretzel Salad, Layered Bean Dip, Chocolate and Cool Whip Lasagna, etc. I can’t really come up with any crimes against these foods, because I’m always happy to see them. The effort is put in no matter what the ingredients are, and well.....they taste really good. My friend, Jessica, organizes a potluck with her co-workers once a month on their lunch break. She has a sign-up list to make sure there is a balanced menu. There is a man named, Bil (one “l”), who does not like to cook. He brings his ability to entertain instead of an actual food item. Bil brings mind-benders and other fun games to the party for the others to enjoy while they are eating. That, to me, is a sign that maybe true potlucks do still exist. Bil prepares and puts effort into something to be shared by the group, even if it isn’t actually food. So, let’s not give up on potlucks yet. Get out your old tupperware bowl, and just put something in it. Even if it involves Velveeta or Miracle Whip. As long as you try and don’t give in to the plastic-domed, ready to go food, you are attempting to keep the tradition of the potluck going... And always share the recipes so they can be passed on and served to the next group. Here is the most recent recipe I have obtained at a party. It’s a great, easy recipe for baked beans from my friend, Karen. Enjoy!
Baked Beans 1 - big can B&M or other brand baked beans 1 - 15 oz. can garbanzo beans 1 - 15 oz. can kidney beans 1 - 15 oz. can lima beans 1 lb. kielbasa sausage, sliced or hamburger 1/2 lb. bacon, cut up into small pieces 1 onion, chopped 1/2 cup vinegar 1 Tbs dry mustard 1/2 cup brown sugar Fry bacon until crisp and add the sausage or hamburger and the onions.

West Nile Virus In Mosquitoes Twin Falls County Pest Abatement district found West Nile Virus infected mosquitoes during routine mosquito surveillance activates. A trap set Wednesday August 15 in a rural area West of Buhl contained Culex mosquitoes that tested positive for WNV. This was one of 18 traps set out this week. All other traps tested negative. Mosquito trapping started in April and has been conducted every week this summer. The location where the mosquito found is not far from where positive mosquitoes were found in 2009. Expanded surveillance and treatment of this area has been conducted. This finding is a reminder for people to take the proper precautions. Avoid mosquito bites by following these important, but easy, steps: § Use insect repellents to avoid mosquito bites. DEET, Picaridin, and Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus are all EPA approved repellents. Follow label instructions carefully. § Cover up when outside. Put on long pants, long-sleeved shirts and socks from dusk to dawn when mosquitoes are most active. § Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water. Get rid of standing water on your property, even small amounts. § Overwatering and having standing water in your fields can lead to tremendous hatches of mosquitoes affecting not only you, but your neighbors. § You can protect your horse with a yearly shot available from veterinarians or from feed and tack stores. § Clean water troughs once a week to reduce mosquito larvae. Don’t over-water your pasture—this creates puddles where mosquitoes like to breed. More Information can be found at www.tfcpad.org and www.westnile.idaho.gov
