WNews from the Heart of Idaho: Camas, Lincoln, and Gooding County

April 10, 2013April 10, 2013April 10, 2013April 10, 2013April 10, 2013couriernews.webs.comcouriernews.webs.com

Need your com-puter repaired? Or...maybe you want a bitof skin art. Check outFrank Ochsner’s newshop at 102 5th AvenueEast in Gooding (just behind Western Cel-lular / Verizon).

Frank has been running a smalltattoo shop in Twin Falls for about fif-teen years, along with repairing com-puters. He said that while it mightseem odd to some, the two professionswork well together - when one isdown, the other is up.

Having been born and raised inGooding, it only seemed natural to movehis shop to be closer to his family. Be-sides, everyone needs their computerworked on now and then.

Frank said that many computerproblems are fairly simple to fix, butopening up a desktop or laptop computercan be an intimidating task for mostpeople. Also, too many people think thatslow running programs mean you needa new computer, something that is notnecessarily true.

His main goal in Gooding is to offercomputer repair, but he has a large cli-entele of people in the Magic Valley whoappreciate his tattoo work.

Mr. Ochsner was quick to point out

that there is no room for mistakes in thetattoo business. Misspell a name, and youlive with it for the rest of you life. In fact,names (girl/boy friends) are generally abad idea because relationships change.

For this reason and many others, heis very willing to offer his opinion as towhether you should really get a tattoo. Ifyou are under the age of eighteen, he willnot touch your skin without signed pa-rental consent (state law), and they mustbe present when it happens.

While Idaho has no requirements forinspecting tattoo parlors for clean equip-ment, Mr. Ochsner said that tattoo art-ists are always concerned about commu-nicable diseases. That concern is not somuch for the client, but for themselves.

If you have a medical condition ofany kind, you should be right up front withyour tattoo artist. He or she is at far morerisk than you are.

If you need your computer workedon or you need some portable art, stopby his shop or call 208-751-7779. Youcan also stop by to welcome Frankback to Gooding.

Dry WeatherAffects Water

Supply OutlookBoise, ID, April 5, 2013 – A dry March

added little accumulation to Idaho’s snow-pack which was measured at the end ofthe month by the Natural Resources Con-servation Service (NRCS). The most re-cent water supply outlook report releasedthis week by the NRCS shows the cur-rent conditions for each basin in Idaho.

“Snowpack percentages decreasedagain,” said Ron Abramovich, IdahoNRCS Water Supply Specialist. “Withthree straight months of below normalprecipitation, the questions to answer noware: ‘where do we stand with regards toour water supply?’ and, ‘is there hope forspring precipitation?’”

Precipitation was meager in south-west and central Idaho ranging from 35-65 % of average. Northern and easternIdaho fared better with 80-89% of av-erage. Luckily last autumn’s ample pre-cipitation recharged soil moisture defi-cits and provided a jump start for thewinter snowpack.

Like money in the bank, having res-ervoir storage water rights will help thisyear. Surface irrigation supplies will beadequate for Payette, Little Wood,Owyhee and Bear Lake water users,marginally adequate for the Boise, BigLost, Big Wood, Little Wood, and OakleyBasin and Snake River water users.Shortages are likely for the Magic andSalmon Falls irrigators. Any rain now willhelp reduce early season irrigation de-

Blame it on the Polar Vortex. “It was another factor thatcontributed to the disrupted jet stream over the western half thestates,” Abramovich said. A split jet stream flow diverted stormsto the north and south of the western U. S. leaving those statesdry this winter.

Gangster Squad by Paul LiebermanTime magazine recently reported that movies aren’t what

they used to be because they are being tailor made for the peoplewho buy the most tickets to see them – nineteen year old boys.Gangster Squad, the true story written in novel form, is tailormade for a movie for nineteen year old boys. The rat-a-tat tatof machine gunfire, fancy dressed molls, and mobsters yellingstuff like :Hey youse guys..”, I can see the line at the ticketbooth now. The sad thing is that Mickey Cohen and Jack Whalenand all their cronies were real and so were the cops who crossedthe line so many times they finally removed the line in theirattempts to get the Bad Guys. Turns out that Dragnet was real,“Just the facts ma’am”. And Mr. Lieberman gives the facts,lots of them, and he’s added some photos too just in case youdon’t believe him. Turns out anyone who thinks Hollywood turnedthe citrus groves into LaLa Land has some history to learn. Thisbook is that history lesson.

Ticks & Your PetsThe tick species that most commonly infest dogs and cats

in North America are the hard ticks and a soft tick called theear tick.

The species of hard ticks of importance to dogs and catsare ‘three-host’ ticks, which usually spend each stage (larva,nymph, and adult) on a different host. After hatching, thesixlegged larval stage waits on the ground or on low vegetationfor a host, which for many species is usually a bird or smallmammal. After feeding on the host for several days, the en-gorged larva drops to the ground and molts to an eight-leggednymph. The nymph then finds an appropriate host and feeds forseveral days to a week. Once the nymph has engorged, it dropsto the ground and molts to the eight-legged adult, which thenmust find a third host, and feed one last time before dropping tothe ground to lay eggs.

The ear tick is a ‘one-host’ tick found in the ear canal of itshosts. The ear tick larva crawls into the outer ear of a suitablehost where it engorges and molts into a nymph. Nymphs un-dergo two molts before they leave the host as adults to lay eggs.

Problems associated with ticks may include: > Anemia at all stages as they feed. Adult females grow 100-fold in size,

and ingests more than 100 times their weight in blood. > Irritation and pruritus at the site of tick attachment. > Otoacariasis is the infestation of the ear by ticks or other mites. > Localized inflammation, allergic hypersensitivity, paralysis,

and/or severe toxic reactions. (Tick paralysis is characterized by anacute, ascending, flaccid, motor paralysis.)

> Pathogen transmission: Depending on the species of ticks, ticks cantransmit diseases such as human and canine ehrlichiosis, tularemia,cytauxzoonosis, canine hepatozoonosis, Rocky Mountain spottedfever, Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and babesiosis.

Seasonal tick activity can vary widely by geographic re-gion, and tick populations can vary dramatically within a givenarea due to local vegetation and host abundance. In the Goodingarea the tick season starts in April and runs through October.

Ticks can be removed manually, but the tick should not becrushed, twisted, or jerked out of the skin because this mayresult in exposure to pathogens within the tick or cause the headto become detached and left in the skin, which may lead toinfection or granuloma formation.

Regular application of an acaracide is often necessary toprotect the dog or cat from ticks and the diseases they transmit.In North America, three topically administered acaracides ap-pear to have the greatest efficacy against ticks: amitraz, fipronil(Frontline plus), and permethrin. Only fipronil is approvedfor use on cats.

Cup of Tee©

Most every neighborhood has sometype of neighborhood watch program in

effect. Basically everyone watches out for ev-eryone else. I live on a sixty acre farm and to the south

of me is a mini sub division with about ten houses. My imme-diate south neighbor is my best watch since he is retired andhis house is straight in line with mine. Since I’m up really lateat night, I am the neighborhood watch while everyone else isasleep. This weekend past, a pickup pulled up on the roadand stopped in front of my house. The couple in the truckseemed to not notice me standing in my yard dealing with weeds.I had not seen this vehicle before. There was no need for meto alert any of the neighbors since the suspicious vehicle was infront of my house. It is broad daylight, in fact early afternoon,for the vehicle stopped in front of my house.

The driver , a younger fellow, got out and walked aroundto the passenger side of the vehicle. The vehicle was left run-ning. Maybe they were expecting a quick get away. Thedriver held the door open while a young lady got out of thetruck. Her door was left open with the radio up loud. Theyboth walked to the front of their truck.

The young driver and young passenger gave each a hug infront of the truck. My thought was I hope he is not telling thisgal goodbye and leaving her to walk. This would not set withme! After their hug, they kissed each other.

Their kisses were followed by a jitterbug type dance. Thiswhole procedure repeated itself; hug, kiss, and dance. Othervehicles slowed and starred at the couple as I myself waswatching. The young man escorted the gal back to the pickupand closed her door after this particular song was over. Hethen walked around the front of the vehicle and they both at-tached their seat belts and drove off looking at each other withsmiley faces.

As they drove down the road, I finally go the clue. Thecouple were not out to have a need for neighborhood watch.They were a young couple in love. To them, they need not beconcerned with whatever the rest of the world was doing oreven what the world thought. They were who they were at themoment. To me, that is just great.

So often, we are caught up in what everyone else thinksof us. We don’t allow ourselves that hint of individualism.I don’t recommend that a person stops their vehicle at anygiven spot and do an impromptu dance to their favoritesong. (A person should be safe.) But what I do say isdon’t let the world control you to the point where you can’texpress your inner self. In fact pretend you are at the drive-in movies with your TV on your car hood….This is my“Cup of individuali-TEE”

Legislative News from Representitive Donna PenceWeek 13 - April 9, 2013

Friday at about 11:30 the House ended the legislative sessionwith a strike of the gavel. We began this session with over 40%freshmen legislators due to retirements and redistricting. Everyeffort was made to properly orient them to ethics, duties, andhow to get things done. They were a talented and diverse groupand were a great addition to the House.

The election of a new Speaker of the House made a funda-mental difference in the interactions between Republicans and Re-publicans and between Republicans and Democrats. The atmo-sphere was more open; ideas offered, listened to, and discussed.Individuals were allowed more latitude to vote for what is best fortheir districts without fear of retribution.

In some of the first updates I had singled out establishing anIdaho developed health exchange, Medicaid expansion, sensiblerepeal of business personal property tax, and restoring educationfunding after the defeat of props 1, 2, & 3 as likely areas for newlegislation. I will briefly highlight these and some other areas weworked on this year.

An Idaho based health exchange supported by most businessleaders, the medical community, the governor, and a majority ofthe legislators emerged as law after the Gang of 16 freshmen inthe House were able exert some influence over how the bill wasconstructed in exchange for their support. These changes neces-sitated the writing of a new bill HB 248 that had to pass bothlegislative bodies. It established an independent Health InsuranceExchange Board which will oversee the implementation the insur-ance exchange. Support in the House from Republicans was 28-29, but the 13 votes cast by Democrats assured its passage. Itenjoyed even a larger margin of victory in the Senate.

The Business Personal Property Tax Bill wisely incorporatedmuch of HB599 passed in 2008 and provided relief for the first$100,000 of PPT. This eliminated the tax for about 85% of Idahobusinesses. It required the Legislature to pay $19 million per yearfrom the general fund to replace the lost revenue to our counties,cities, schools, and other taxing districts. This was a sensible pathto take considering our slowly building economy.

Medicaid Expansion although highly recommended for pas-sage by the task force studying this issue, was not dealt with thisyear. Idaho would have saved $9.8 million over the next ten yearsand additionally eliminated the catastrophic health care fund whichcost the state and counties over $55 million last year. We can stillsave some money and provide needed health care if we implementit next year.

Two of my committees the Agriculture and Education had amajority of new members and made it possible to move somelegislation that otherwise may not have been successful. In Agri-culture Chairman Andrus introduced, HB 111aa, that charged afelony on the second conviction of torture of companion animals(cats, dogs etc.). With a couple of votes from the more seniormoderate members and those of some new ones we got it out ofcommittee and then, because it was the right thing to do passedon the floor of the House. This was a sensible and practical billwhich would have headed off a referendum which will likely bemore restrictive if passed. Unfortunately, it did get held by theSenate Ag Committee Chairman.

I was pleased to be the floor sponsor of SB 1180 which calledfor a Rangeland Center, a new model of research, for the grass-lands of Idaho. It passed handily out of both bodies and wasfunded by JFAC the Appropriations Committee. I am confident itwill prove to be valuable in improved management techniques forour grasslands, especially those related to developing scientifi-cally sound means for keeping our sage grouse populations healthyand thriving.

I also was floor sponsor for SB 1156 that developed the pro-cess for allowing irrigations districts to split a concept that ben-efited a local district and would codify the process for others inthe future.

Education was an especially busy committee trying to deal withthe repeal of the Luna Laws. HB 65 allocated the funding for thisschool year to our districts which were left in limbo by the suc-cessful repeal of Props 1, 2, 3. The Governor asked that the con-cepts in props 2 & 3 be reviewed by his specially appointed com-mittee of stakeholders and to come up with legislation next session.Unfortunately he did not direct the Prop 1 issues to be studied andthat gave rise to all kinds of legislation that virtually re-instituted forone year nearly all the labor-related Luna Laws legislation. The pub-lic needs to have an opportunity to weigh in on these Prop 1 issuesbefore the next legislative session and support changes they wantto see made or the bills passed this year will be permanent.

I was successful as floor sponsor to move SB 1146 thatimproved existing language to make it easier for a school dis-trict to declare a financial emergency. This allows a district towork with teachers to make changes in existing contracts toreduce costs during bad financial times. Even though this wasavailable, SB 1040 was pushed through and allows school boardsto require teachers sign blank contracts in May, and allows theschool board to change that contract length and amount with-out any input from teachers.

I also was successful in passing HCR16 recognizing the “In-vent Idaho” program that encourages young Idaho inventors byholding local, regional, and state competitions to select the bestinventions each year. It also invited the winners to display theirinventions at the Capitol and we were able to view their work andtalk with those very engaging students. Go to their website,inventidaho.com, for additional information.

Some additional issues that need introduction next session:practical school security against gun violence; jobs bills like HB604, the Ag Value-Added Tax Credit redesigned by Senator Laceyand me; and transportation funding. I have been reassigned to anumber of on-going interim committees this year. Those are: theNatural Resources Interim, Forestry Task Force, Idaho Rural Part-nership, and the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Edu-cation. I was pleased to also be asked to be a new member of theIdaho Council on Indian Affairs. These along with developing newlegislation mentioned above should keep me sufficiently busy thissummer.

It has been an honor and a pleasure to serve as your Repre-sentative this year. I appreciate the correspondence I have hadwith many of you and encourage everyone to contact us withsuggestions for legislation.

Sincerely, Representative Donna Pence

Volunteers Needed For Habitat RestorationJEROME – Wildlife habitat in the Magic Valley is getting a

helping hand, and you can be part of that effort. The IdahoDepartment of Fish and Game and the Bureau of Land Man-agement invite volunteers to join them in planting bitterbrush,sagebrush, and willows at a recently burned sites this spring.

This year’s efforts will focus on the Big Cottonwood Wild-life Management area, which burned in last summer’s CaveCanyon fire, as well as a site near King Hill, which burned in theBlair Trail Fire of 2011. The project is part of the Volunteers forHabitat Restoration program, a cooperative effort to improveupland and riparian wildlife habitat in Southern Idaho.

According to Regional Wildlife Habitat Manager MarkFleming, bitterbrush is a preferred food source where it occurson mule deer winter range. “These fires severely impacted habi-tat for wintering mule deer and other species in our region,”said Fleming. “By planting seedlings, we’ll help to jump-startthe recovery of this area. Even with intervention, it could take ageneration before we see desert shrubs begin to thrive again.”

Sagebrush seedlings are a key component of habitat for thegreater sage-grouse, a species of concern in Idaho. Willows areimportant for a variety of game and non-game species alike.

“We feel that volunteers are a key component in their ef-forts to preserve fish and wildlife for future generations,” saidEd Papenberg, IDFG Volunteer Coordinator. “When a personworks on the landscape, they’ve made an investment in thatlandscape and people tend to protect their investment.”

“We’re planting seedlings, but we’re also building a com-munity which values its natural resources,” he continued. “Be-sides, it’s just plain fun, you get to spend time in open countryand meet people.”

Each planting effort is an all-day affair including driving time,and participants need to prepare for any weather. Planting will takeplace at these sites on the first three Saturdays in April. Anyoneinterested in signing up should call Papenberg, at 324-4359.

Thank You
