The Road to Greece

On Monday and Tues-day of this week, Sena-tor Mike Crapo traveledthrough District 26 as part ofhisgoaltovisitall200incorporated cities within thestateofIdaho. Senator Crapo open each visitwithapresentationonour nation’s economy, spe-cifically debt and deficits. In 2009 our national deficit took a huge jump. While some politicians blamed this on the Iraq War, it was exacerbated by the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act passed by congress and sign into law by President Obama. Since then, our national deficits (the amount we over-spend revenue each year) have been slowly declining, however, our national debt has not. In fact, over the last ten years the national debt has grown from $7.3 trillion to over $18 trillion. SenatorCraposaidheisglad that deficits have been declining. But, if the debt continues to grow, the U.S. will soon spend more ondebt interest than all other budget items except entitle-ments.Whenthathappens

the U.S. will be in the same situation as Greece. Howdoweavoidthat?SenatorCraposaidthemainproblem is spending - the Federal government spends too much, and it is not just one party or the other - it is both. The Senator also added that it is not just our government. Everyone has a favorite government program (farm sub-sidies, mortgage deductions, tax credits, etc.) that puts a little extra money in our pockets, and most of us are not willingtogivethatup. The bipartisan Bowles-Simpson Plan was developed in 2010 to address these issues, but a super majority vote is needed to bring it to reality. Senator Crapo is optimistic that this plan (which includes a drastic overhaul of the tax code) will soon have enough votes. If so, he is confident that the U.S. can avoid what is happening in Greece.

Wendell School Election The Wendell School District has scheduled a Plant Facili-ties Levy and General Obligation Bond election for Wendell voters.

He was born May 22, 1955, in Crossville, Tennessee, the son of Bonnie Copeland Allen and Nick Allen. Jem’s life was a deep reflection of his faith in Jesus Christ and his belief that “Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” - John 15:13. In 1973, he joined the United States Army and served as a helicopter door gunner in the Viet Nam War, where he earned the Purple Heart after being wounded protecting his fellow soldiers.

Steve's Quick ServiceDear Editor:As most of us know, Wendell School

District is planning on trying to get a bond passed this month. Although little has been heard about it. Makes me wonder if they aren’t going to try to hide the bond election so that only certain people will know to go vote, like they did with the elementary school. Anyway, the bond election is on August 25, 2015 and we are asking that people please go vote NO on this bond. Show the school that enough is enough.Wearen’tgoingtokeeppayingforthingsoverand over again. Do repairs need to be made, sure, but why should we keep giving money to a school board and su-perintendent that just uses the money for what they want instead of what it’s being marked to be spent for? Please help us stand up to the school board and the powers that be in Wendell School and vote NO on this upcoming bond election. Kali Lasater

Is Biological Weed Control Right For You?

by Terry D. RubyChairman Southern Idaho Bio Control

In light of some recently published articles, regarding biological control of noxious weeds, I have witnessed an increased interest in this tool. This increased interest has sprouted a few questions. As chairman of the Southern Idaho Bio Control Project (SIBC), that operates “Bug Crews” in Blaine, Camas, Gooding, Jerome, Lincoln and Twin Falls Counties, I would like clear up some confusion. Biological control of Idaho’s Noxious Weeds is but one “tool” in the toolbox of weed control. However, the tool-box includes a wide range of control methods, which may involve herbicide treatment, cultivation, grazing manage-ment practices as well as biological control. The criteria for obtaining biological control agents on an individual’s property, through SIBC, includes a property inspection by an SIBC representative and notification to the County Noxious Weed Control Authority for a success-ful plan of attack. The inspection will verify the presence ofaNoxiousWeed,andyourSIBCrepresentativeandCountyWeedSuperintendentwillworkoutaplanthatcan effectively reduce the infestation. Depending on the size and scope of the infestation, the landowner may need to implement several methods of integrated weed control, to get ahead of the problem The landowner is then tasked with the decision to “set-aside” a plot of Noxious Weeds for the introduction of biological agents. In order to support the insects, this plot needs to be protected from grazing, cultivation, and herbicide until the insect population increases to a sus-tainable size. Protecting the plot may be accomplished by fencing, which will allow grazing or plant cultivation on the unaffected area. In addition a herbicide treatment around the perimeter of the infestation may be needed to prevent the spread of the Noxious Weed onto neighboring properties. The ultimate goal is to eradicate or reduce the popula-tion of the Noxious Weed to a manageable level. All the “tools” in the toolbox must be utilized to be successful. These goals can be achieved by cooperation and the utilization of integrated management techniques. Contact your local Noxious Weed Control Superintendent or the Southern Idaho Biological Control Project @ 208-539-4274 or 208-316-2369 for further information.
