Branding Day: A Webb family annual event by Terrell Williams For three generations, the Webb family has been raising cattle on ranges north of Wendell. This year, they had their annual branding day, as usual, in mid-May, with family and friends helping with the roping, clipping, vaccinating and other routine work on the calves. Last year on October 1, Kirk Webb was injured in a horse riding accident. In recent months, his recovery has been steady, and he said he was glad to be able to be at the branding, even as just a spectator. “He’s getting better daily,” says his wife, Stevia. Out on the desert in a fenced pen, their eldest son, Dan, was on the ground, keeping track of numbers and working on the calves, while younger brother Rob was heading and heeling from his palomino. Kirk’s brother, Monty, kept the branding irons going, while Stevia gave vaccine injections. Other friends helping were Trevor Scott, Coy Surrett, Brett Sheehan and Rusty Gill. In past decades, Kirk’s father Tom Webb, who passed away last year, ran the operation, with help from his wife, Ruby, and his three sons. When Tom retired, Kirk – along with Stevia and his brothers Todd and Monty – continued the work. This year, Dan and Rob stepped in to help keep things going. After about two weeks of rest and recovery, the cows and calves on June 1 were loaded on trucks and hauled to the Webb’s ranges north of Fairfield for summer grazing. Until recent years, the herd was pushed the distance on foot in a two day cattle drive. But now they roll up the highway, which is easier on everyone.

Since February, members of the Wendell Area Chamber of Commerce have been planning and preparing for the annual Magic Valley Dairy Days. This year, the event is highlighted with three days of professional entertainment on stage at the city park, starting Thursday with Gary and Cindy Braun from 6 to 9 p.m.. The husband and wife team sing in harmony and play a variety of old favorites and orginal tunes. Thursday also is family night, with reduced price carnival rides and hot dogs from 5 to 7 p.m, courtesy of the City of Wendell. Vendors will be filling up the park on Thursday and Friday afternoons, offering a variety of food and products. Entertainment from 6 to 9 p.m. on Friday evening is by Sweet County Air, a popular Magic Valley band of seasoned musicians who play country that might include some downhome rock-and-roll. The main day of this three-day event is Saturday, which begins with a hot breakfast served by Wendell senior citizens in the city park from 7 to 10 a.m. The group is working to raise funds for a much-needed senior citizen center in Wendell. The annual parade begins at 10:30 a.m. Registration for entries is at the parking lot of the high school at the north end of Main Street. The parade lines up on 6th Avenue East and proceeds through town from North Idaho Street. After the parade, there is a free giveaway of dairy products at the park, sponsored by the United Dairymen of Idaho and Chobani. Entertainment begins at noon at the bandshell at city park with groups of young performers from Trina Ciocca’s Uptown Dance Studio, followed by the Mini-Cheerleaders. At about 1 p.m., The Barking Owls take the stage, playing their unique styles of bluegrass music until 4 p.m. The carnival continues all three nights until 10 p.m. Chamber of Commerce president Terrell Williams said quite a few new vendors have been signing up this year, so there will be new foods to try and different booths with all sorts of novelty things for sale. “Our entertainment is especially great this year,” she said. “Our seating should fill up, so people might want to bring their lawn chairs.”

May was a busy month for us. I spent the better part of a week visitng my son and his wife in Moscow, Idaho over Mother’s Day. We loaded my little truck to the gills with compost and chickens. My ‘mini-vacation’ was filled with planting vegetable starts and strawberry plants, hiking in the woods looking for mushrooms and one afternoon I snuck away to browse downtown thrift stores and coffee shops. That trip was soon followed by a few days spent in Salt Lake City, with my cousins from Germany. Then my husband Joe spent almost a week at a beautiful ranch in Mackay, Idaho for a large farm equipment auction. Now we’re both back at home, planting our own small vegetable garden, selling goats and goat meat, giving wagon rides with our team of Norwegian Fjords, and irrigating pastures. Some of Joe’s children, grandchildren and even great-grandchildren visited for a day or two over Memorial Day weekend, learning how to ride horses, mowing the lawns and the biggest and strongest of them installed the window air conditioner while the little ones collected eggs from the hen house. When I feel that having a small farm is too much work, I try and see it through another’s eyes; we’re lucky to live in the country and enjoy the fresh air, the animals, and the peacefulness. The ‘billions and billions’ of moths are quiet, after all. I expect our power bill will be higher this month; not just because the AC unit is running, not just because the irrigation system is running, but mainly because the vacuum cleaner is running - sucking up all the moths that have wiggled their way into the house. We’re looking forward to Dairy Days in Wendell mid-month, and the dessert and book sale at the Hagerman library June 27, and the Hagerman fireworks on June 27. This issue, we welcome contributing writers Michael Blomgren, Jan Gooding, Marguerite Janes, Mary Keating and Terrell Williams.

City of Hagerman Calendar: Meetings below are held at City Hall, 191 State St. North. The public is welcome to attend all of these meetings.

Two public hearings were held in May at Hagerman City Hall to discuss five alternatives for the new Wastewater Faciities Plan. Existing sewage treatment facilities for the city’s current 450 hookups are 30 years old and not keeping up with demand. Hagerman’s current lagoon system treats the town’s wastewater, and then it is discharged into the Snake River. This is done under an EPA authorized permit. Hagerman’s lift stations, according to Mark Holtzen, J-U-B Engineers, “are old, dilapidated and past their useful service life.” Holtzen showed the council and visitors a presentation and explained the alternative systems. Several alternatives were viewed, detailing various types of systems commonly used. Mark Bolduc noted advances in technology may change what type of system is needed in the future. No decisions were made, as meetings were primarily informational. Violations are piling up, with thousands of dollars in fines added every month. EPA fines now total $24 million, with possible civil penalties of $50 million. The hefty fines have the potential of helping the City to obtain a grant. The city of Buhl had similar violations, for example, but was ultimately fined only $38,000. Alternatives were rated and ranked using categories such as capital cost, ease of operational maintenance, and technical feasibility. Referring to technical feasibility, Councilman Steve Bland commented, “We’ve got groundwater that will float a post.” Many questions remain; will percolation / groundwater be an issue for infiltration systems and will the ever present melon gravel pose problems for lagoon construction?

Grand Marshals Fred and Lorraine McCloud
Page 3
(208) 837-6116
By Terrell Williams Each year the Wendell Area Chamber of Commerce selects a parade Grand Marshal to honor citizens who have served the community. This year, the Chamber chose Fred and Lorraine McCloud, who have been giving to Wendell for nearly 60 years. Fred served eight years on the Wendell City Council, where he was Council President and did additional volunteer work with city crews. He assisted in the renovation of the Wendell high school new football field and track, and still serves on the city sewer committee. He also has been active in the American Legion. In his professional work in construction, Fred estimates he built about 90 percent of roads in the Wendell area, and he voluntarily seal coated parking lots for the American Legion and the Living Waters Presbyterian Church. Lorraine is known for driving school buses and for her 30 years on the county election committee, as well as flower gardening and volunteer church work. She has been active in the Rebekah Lodge since 1955, going through most of the local offices, plus being State President of the Rebekah Assembly of Idaho, and Chaplin for the International Association of Rebecca Assemblies. The McClouds also donate trees, help needy families, take treats to the elderly and plant flowers at the cemetery. Fred was born and raised on the family farm at Cedar Draw between West Point and Orchard Valley west of Wendell, where his grandparents settled in 1911. “I went to school there from fifth to second grade,” Fred kidded, recalling his early education in a one-room school. But, actually, he said, “I had the same teacher (Iris Kaufman) for six of the seven years there.” Fred later went to school in town, graduating from Wendell High School in 1949. He then went into the Army, he says, “... for a nice tour of Korea,” until returning home in 1952. Lorraine was born and raised in Gooding, where she graduated with the class of 1953. She is one of a group of 19 lifelong friends who went from first grade through high school together. For many years she has been co-
Fred and Lorraine McCloud - photo courtesy of the McClouds chairman of organizing their class reunions, including the 60th reunion last year. “Our class thinks we do a good job, so we are committed for the next reunion,” she said. Lorraine and Fred met at a dance after a rodeo in Fairfield and were married in 1954. They made their home in Wendell, where they raised their three children, Donald, Cynthia (Lang) and Cheryl (Gunter). Today they have six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Wendell has been an excellent place to raise a family, with good neighbors and friends, they agreed. “Where else can you go down the street and be known or know somebody,” Fred said. “I enjoy the people,” Lorraine said. “We always go (to Dairy Days at the park). We're within walking distance. We stay till evening... We never miss it.”

Memorial Day,Wendell Style By Jan Gooding Cornett, reporter & photographer Wendell residents celebrate Memorial Day with great tradition and style. The annual event is a weekend experience for those who choose to visit the Wendell Cemetery. The Wendell Cemetery District sets up what they call the Hospitality Booth for the many visitors that come to pay their respects to those who have passed. It is not a sad weekend; it is a three day celebration of life amongst old family and friends gathering to remember. Visitors stop by the hospitality Booth and enjoy refreshments with Paul Isaacson, the Sexton, Karen Isaacson, the Cemetery District Clerk and the members of the Wendell Cemetery Board, Jeannie Prince, Harry Surplus, Chairman and Gary Cox . For those who are not familiar with the cemetery, maps are available and directions are given to the burial site of loved ones. Sign in to the guest registry and be among the several thousand that gather to honor and celebrate the importance of Memorial Day. All of the veterans dating back to the Civil War are marked with an American Flag. On Monday, May 26, 2014, the American Legion of Wendell had a beautiful ceremony marking the day with the placement of two wreaths, a twenty-one gun salute and a salute to all who have sacrificed so much. The event does not end with this ceremony, it is only the beginning as a parade of Christian motorcyclists lead the procession down to the Veterans Park to place another wreath at the park, offer a few words of compassion and thanks to those who have served. Following the ceremony everyone was invited for lunch at the American Legion hall for a barbecue.

Snake Thoughts The foothills in May were filled with acres upon acres of arrowleaf balsamroot, desert parsley, locoweed and lupine, and I made sure to get out amongst them as often as possible. On our latest hike, two friends and I set off again after stopping to watch a lazuli bunting singing from the top of a bitterbrush on the slope below us. Then, much to my surprise, I found myself up in the air, back-pedaling furiously. Only after hitting the ground a couple of feet back from where I had launched did I register the yard-long snake in the middle of the trail. Calling behind me “it’s just a gopher snake”, I wondered why my unconscious reaction had been so extreme, and as the snake slipped off the path I took a second look. “Oops, it’s a rattler! Look at that triangular head! And there – look quick before it gets into the bushes – six or seven rattles!” The snake by this time was well on its way into the rosebushes that lined the trail, but we all got a good look, and a couple of photos, before it vanished. As an appreciator of snakes of all stripes, I have no fear of rattlesnakes, although I treat them with respect and keep my distance. I have a tendency to catch non-venomous snakes that cross my path (though I make sure to positively ID them before I grab), and admire them before releasing them again. So this leap-back-before- you-look was very abnormal. It had happened only once before, down in the Sonoran desert in southern Arizona several years ago. Jogging out to check a grasshopper research site at dusk, I found myself in the midst of an unexpected high-jump, realizing only at the apex that a Mojave rattler was directly under me. In both cases, my conscious mind was way behind my unconscious mind. I don’t even remember seeing either snake until in the midst of evasive tactics. On the other hand, I’ve seen other rattlesnakes with nary a hop, skip or heart-flutter. Could these two close encounters be examples of a reflex arc, in which the stimulus travels from the receptor directly to the spinal column and out to the appropriate motor neurons before the brain collects its wits? This explains why your hand pulls away from a hot stove – the receptors in your fingertips send an emergency message, the spinal nerves act, and the hand jerks back before the sensation of heat percolates all the way to your brain. I assumed this was the explanation, until I thought about it more. In this case, the receptor is the eye, and doesn’t the eye report directly back to the brain? Or are there other visual pathways in addition, shooting warnings directly to the spinal column and out the motor neurons? Hmmm – more investigation needed. In the meantime, in June I’ll be assisting at a Snake Avoidance Clinic for dogs. Through the use of a shock collar, the dog learns that investigating any snake (gopher snakes in this case) up close causes a Bad Thing to happen. Though I’m not a big fan of shock collars, the consequences of a rattler bite are grave enough that I’d consider this training for my dogs if we didn’t just keep them out of the hills (and the cheatgrass) during snake season. I was glad they weren’t with us on this particular wildflower walk – but glad I was. Chris is practicing Showing Up from her micro-farm in Boise, and is enjoying showing up in her old Hagerman stomping grounds more often these days.
Hagerman Star Party By Evelyn Simon
The Hagerman Star Party at the end of May, was celebrated as part of 25th Anniversary events at Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument. Free activities at the visitor center before dark included solar scope viewing, creating a sundial, and building a star wheel. These activities are also now a part of the Jr. Ranger program. A night sky orientation talk, presented by Chris Anderson from the College of Southern Idaho’s Centennial Observatory, was followed by night sky viewing at the Oregon Trail Overlook on the Monument. The star gazing way up on Bell Rapids Road is where my husband and I joined in for the evening. At first the darkness prevented us from discovering who we were talking to, but soon our eyes adjusted and we sauntered toward groups huddled around telescopes. High winds earlier in the day had pushed in some clouds, but by 10:30 pm the clouds thinned and everyone was treated a sky full of celestial bodies. The clearing of the skies caused a few more huge telescopes to be hauled out of pickup trucks. These were hastily assembled with the aid of red light flashlights (to preserve night vision). Nifty green laser pointers shone high overhead, delineating constellations and pointing out planets. Over and over, we heard, “I’m getting one of those lasers!” We said it too. A bonanza of stars awaited our eager eyes. We were treated to star clus-

ters, dozens of constellations, our own solar system’s Jupiter and four of its 67 moons, and the jelly doughnut-shaped Ring Nebula, discovered in 1779 by French astronomer Antoine Darquier de Pellepoix. What is the Ring Nebula, you ask? Here’s the Wikipedia description; Such objects are formed when a shell of ionized gas is expelled into the surrounding interstellar medium by a red giant star, which was passing through the last stage in its evolution before becoming a white dwarf. We were told that our own sun would one day likely morph into this type of object. Interested singles and families popped in throughout the evening for camaraderie and to take turns at all available telescopes. Our spotting scope, puny in comparison, allowed an uninterrupted view of our moon’s craters. Besides the spectacular Ring Nebula, the telescopes made visible bright star clusters and even a couple of galaxies. Galaxies! As in our very own Milky Way. There’s nothing quite like looking through a powerful telescope on a warm almost-summer evening to make one realize how incredible this world is. Continued on next page

Gooding County Relay for Life June events
GOODING, IDAHO – Gooding County’s Relay for Life will sponsor a colossal yard sale on Saturday, June 7, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. in front of Land Title and Escrow, 706 Main Street. The proceeds will go toward the 2nd Annual Gooding County Relay for Life scheduled for June 13–14 at the Gooding County fairgrounds. Many of the Relay teams will have booths to raise money for their teams. Along with yard sale items, there will be baked goods and souvenirs matching this year’s Relay theme, “Cruisin’ 4 a Cure.” The Cruisin’ 4 a Cure Poker Run held on May 31 hosted 55 classic cars and motorcycles that covered approximately 75 miles through Gooding County and ended at the county fairgrounds, where participants enjoyed the movie American Graffiti. Please contact Susan Bolton at 934-8477 if you have items to donate for the yard sale. Relay for Life is a team event where team members walk laps to celebrate our local cancer survivors and caretakers. The Relay teams walk to remember those family members and friends who have been lost to cancer. The 2nd Annual Relay for Life has 21 teams, each with 10-12 people, who have set a monetary goal to help with cancer awareness and research. Many events are planned for the evening of Friday, June 13, beginning at 6 p.m. when the Celebration Ceremony starts; the first lap will be dedicated to our survivors and caretakers. A live auction of the handprint quilts made from the survivors’ handprints from last year’s event will follow. At 10 p.m., candles in luminaire bags will be lit, and the fairground lights turned off. Team members and others will then walk in silence by the light of the luminaries in remembrance of those lost to cancer. Each luminaire will contain a canned food item to hold the bags in place; the cans then will be given to Helping Hearts and Hands for their food bank. Everyone—including families who have been affected by cancer— is invited to bring lawn chairs and watch the activities. For more information, call Susan Bolton, 934-8477.
RELAY FOR LIFE CELEBRATION DINNER JUNE 13 GOODING, IDAHO—A reception and celebration dinner for Gooding County’s Relay for Life participants—including cancer survivors and personal caregivers—will be held on Friday, June 13,. Last year seventy-five people attended the reception dinner at the Gooding County Fairgrounds. This year, the Relay committee expects to have over one-hundred people attend the event. During the day of the relay, all relay teams are welcome to have food or items for sale at the fairgrounds. To sign up for a relay team for the Relay for Life, go to www.relayforlife.org/goodingid or contact Cody Varin (934-5963) or Susan Bolton at 934-8477 or sbolton@landtitleandescrow.com.

The court house, with the help of Sheriff Gough’s painting crew came up with a masked bandit design complete with stripes and ball and chain reminding us that crime doesn’t pay! Terry Behunin with Franklin Building Supply is starting over following the theft of his famous Blue Long Horn Steer which could possibly have been this year’s winner. We still don’t know who the true perpetrators are that has the blue steer painted by Terry Behunin’s daughter. The Idaho Rodeo Hall of Fame is still offering a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the true perpetrators who still have the steer and instigated the theft. Zeppes’ steer causes one to drool thinking about the pizza they’ve painted on it. Wells Fargo bank is showing a great stage coach and team while the Body Balance has a steer‘s rider being assisted by a clown. Wolkersein’s Canyonside Realty steer has a sign language theme painted by the Idaho State School for the Deaf and Blind, while Rocking R Real Estate displays a steer landscaped with a tile mural just down the street.

June is Idaho’s Wine Month By Marguerite Janes, Thousand Springs Winery
Haven’t tried an Idaho wine lately? Please seek out Idaho’s wines this month and find a new favorite. Many award winning wines are to be found including Idaho’s first three wines scoring Wine Spectator rating of 90 and above by Koenig Vineyards. Owner/winemaker Greg Koenig received the high scores for his 2010 Ice Wine, Syrah, and CabernetSyrah Blend. Other medal winners from last fall’s independent judging at Idaho’s wine competition include: Double gold/Best in show/Best white: Coiled Wines 2012 Dry Riesling, Snake River Valley, $17 Gold/Best red: Cold Springs Winery 2009 Merlot, Snake River Valley, $15 Gold/Best rosé: Sawtooth Estate Winery 2012 Classic Fly Series Cinsault Rosé, Snake River Valley, $13 More gold medals were obtained by local winemaker Jamie Martin of Cold Springs Winery for his 2011 Chardonnay, $10 and 2010 L’attraction: White Table Wine, $10. Idaho’s wine production is first documented in 1864, long before vines were planted in Washington & Oregon. Why has it taken so long for Idaho’s wines to “emerge”? Prohibition started in Idaho prior to the national prohibition in 1919, and lasted until 1933. This devastated the wine industry and it did not begin to grow again until 1970 when vines were along the Snake River. The Snake River AVA (American Vitacultural Area) encompasses 12 Idaho and 2 eastern Oregon counties. “The Idaho wine industry has been a steadily growing community for the last 30 years with remarkable growth in the past decade. With 11 wineries in 2002, Idaho is now home to 50, with 1,600 acres of grapes planted. In order to see the impact Idaho wine industry is having, the Idaho Wine Commission worked with Boise State University to create an economic impact story. The results were startling. It was concluded that the Idaho wine industry had a $73 million dollar impact in 2008 and created nearly 625 jobs. This growth led to an increase in visibility, more tourism, an enhanced reputation, and has created tremendous opportunity for expansion. The industry will continue to grow as national wine consumption increases, as well as Idaho’s grape growing potential. Idaho wines have been discovered across the country ranking 22nd in the nation. The Idaho wine industry is just in its infancy and is expected to see remarkable growth in the next 15 years. It is just coming into its own, receiving a great deal of recognition, and winemakers and growers are learning as they go while making great wine along the way.” Source: IdahoWines.org. Look to your favorite restaurant or bar this month for featured Idaho wines along with food pairings. It is time to celebrate the emerging wine industry in Idaho. Enjoy!

Thousand Springs Winery Bed & Breakfast By Mary Keating It is not the miles you travel, but the memories you make along the way.
Idaho features miles of scenic byways, unexplored trails and boundless vacation opportunities. As prices at the pump rise, many local travelers plan to vacation a little closer to home this summer. According to the Sun Valley Magazine, “You could drive across the country a couple of times over, from Freeport, Maine, to Carlsbad, California, from Miami all the way up to Seattle, and you’d be hard pressed to roll through a more unique place than Idaho’s Hagerman Valley.” The Thousand Springs Byway, a section of US Hwy 30 in southern Idaho, is a picturesque route that winds travelers through the Hagerman Valley. It passes through quaint towns, fish hatcheries, wildlife habitats, the Thousand Spring State Park and past a newly reopened vineyard. The Thousand Springs Winery Bed & Breakfast is a fully operational vineyard with a tasting room featuring a selection of local wines, regional wines, specialty wines and locally brewed beer on tap. In addition, the vineyard is also home to a hand-crafted, Tuscan inspired Bed and Breakfast. “Owning a vineyard is a new and exciting adventure,” said Marguerite Janes, co-owner. “We feel like we live on the pages of National Geographic complete with eagles, osprey and wildlife. At night, the stars are so close you can almost touch them and we wake each day to spectacular views of the canyon.” Originally founded in the mid-90s, the vineyard is under the care and ownership of Bernard and Marguerite Janes. Prior to relocating to Idaho, the Janes traveled back and forth between their home in Henderson, NV and Seattle, WA. During their travels, they overnighted in the Hagerman Valley. After a few overnight stays, the Janes fell in the love with the area and began to look for a small vacation home. “We were living in Henderson, active in a wine club and traveling between Nevada and Washington when we first started thinking of owning a small vacation home in Idaho. I was pursuing my sommelier certification,” said Marguerite. “As we searched for a vacation home, nothing quite fit until we stumbled upon this piece of property. What began as a small dream is now a lifestyle, a love of wines and vines.” The Janes took ownership of the Thousand Springs Winery in late December 2012 and the Bed and Breakfast is quickly becoming a home away from home for many.

Wine appreciation class By Evelyn Simon
Thousand Springs Winery
Last month, several Hagerman-ites and a few Select Wines from Idaho & Western States, folks from Twin Falls spent and the World’s Best Wine Regions a beautiful early summer evening south of Hagerman at Thousand Springs WinHagerman Valley’s Only ery. We gathered for a wine Fine Wine Shop! appreciation class taught by winery owner Marguerite Janes. Janes and her Why travel to Boise or Twin Falls to husband Bernard own and purchase your wine? operate Thousand Springs Winery and Bed and BreakOPEN Tue-Sun, 2-6 pm or By Appointment fast. I’ve always appreciated a lip-smacking glass of wine in the evening, but 18852 Hwy 30 never knew what wine aficionados were talking about Hagerman when they said a wine had ‘legs’, or how to determine what was considered a good quality wine. “Legs,” said Marguerite, “is a factor of viscosity and alcohol content. The greater the ‘legs’, the more alcohol content in the wine.” I also learned that a dry wine, for example, does not taste sweet at the tip of the tongue. Tables were covered with wineglasses; some for champagne, some for reds, and some for whites. Differently shaped glasses have an effect on how that type of wine enters the mouth, which affects the perception of taste. Bernard started the tasting by pouring a wonderful French champagne, moved through a Riesling, a white burgundy, and to red wines such as a cabernet from Chile and a Bordeaux from France. We rated 11 samples for these categories; appearance, aroma/bouquet, taste/texture, aftertaste, and overall impression. My favorites were the NV Sandeman Port from Portugal, the 2011 Cold Springs Riesling from Idaho, and the 2009 Chateau Suau Cru Bordeaux from France. A Bordeaux is always a blend of three grapes. The best champagne of the evening, in my opinion, was the Lady of Spain Cava from Spain. Cava means sparkling wine – even though you would swear it is champagne. The word champagne can only be used by winemakers from the Champagne region in France. Marguerite explained how to look at a glass of wine to see if it is a newer wine or an aged one, or even if it’s likely to taste like vinegar. She showed us how to taste wine so all the taste buds on our tongue are given a chance to participate.

Wine Facts: • • • • • • • •
Wines from Chile are a bargain this year, with good quality and good prices. Argentinean wines, from the Mendoza region, are especially good. Marguerite said, “We’re seeing wines we’ve never seen before; prices are good now too.” Try a Malbec, she adds. A good German Riesling can last 30 to 80 years, aging extremely well. Champagne is meant to be consumed within the year it was produced; it is a fresh product. Aerating a wine ages it rapidly; it can age six months in five minutes. Taste the wine before letting it breathe, Marguerite suggests, because it may not need aging. Keep wines cool – strive for 55 degrees. Champagne can be kept a little cooler, at 40 degrees. Chardonnay should have a buttery fragrance and it is excellent with Jarlberg cheeses. The four ‘Noble Grapes’ are wine grapes that are recognized in many regions of the world for making good wines: Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Sauvignon.
“Visitors come to celebrate special occasions, find inspiration or to escape from the busy, connected world,” Marguerite said. “We have hosted honeymooners, artisans, painters and writers. In fact, Robert Fulghum, author of All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, has stayed here.” Guests come from as close as Twin Falls and as far away as Amsterdam. This summer, the Janes are expecting returning guests from Boise who, in turn, are bringing friends with them from Oregon. A couple from Belgium is coming the first part of June and they have several bookings from Europe. Visitors say that the B&B is a wonderful place to relax, unplug and delight in the views. They fall asleep to the sounds of the river and awake to a homemade breakfast of steak and eggs or trout and eggs, locally made granola and homemade baked goods that may include a selection of sourdough pancakes, muffins and other locally procured products. The Bed and Breakfast, located 6 miles south of Hagerman, is tastefully decorated with Persian rugs and stylish artwork. It can accommodate up to six guests and all rooms are reserved for those over the age of 16. Guests stay on the main floor in one of three bedrooms - the Sunshine Room, the River Room or the King Suite - and have access to a welldesigned and spacious living room, dining room and kitchen area. Marguerite suggests that those traveling to the area also consider exploring some the area attractions such as the Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument, Miracle Hot Springs, Hagerman Fish Hatchery, Thousand Springs State Park, Perrine Bridge, Canyon Rim Trail and Shoshone Falls.

The Gooding Bug Crew The Beauty is the Beast
June 2014 Page 7 bers work about two hours a week. Considered a part of a community outreach program, bug team members attend fairs, public venues, and speak around the community about bio-control. “We follow all the labor laws,” Freiberg continues, “and the kids are actually paid for their efforts.”
Contributed by Michael Blomgren GOODING, IDAHO—The Gooding Bug Crew is at it again. Becky Freiberg, director of the Southern Idaho Bio-Control Program, is working with her Gooding County crew to help eradicate an invasive perennial plant that disguises itself as beautiful, while it’s actually a real beast. After moving to Bell Rapids Road two years ago, I saw Lythrum salicaria for the first time and was impressed by this plant obviously thriving in the swampy area next to our home on the Snake River. The plants grow to a height of 3–7 feet, with downy, smoothedged leaves and flowers with pink-purple petals. Purple loosestrife, however, is a beastly invasive plant that is spreading rapidly in North American wetlands, shorelines, and roadside ditches. The plant is quickly crowding out native plants and reducing food, shelter, and nesting sites for wildlife, birds, turtles, and frogs ABOUT THE SOUTHERN IDAHO BIO-CONTROL PROGRAM. As explained on the SIBC’s website (www.bugcrew.org) the Southern Idaho Bio-Control Program is a group of bug crews in six southern Idaho counties that complete a link in the long chain of noxious weed control by land management agencies such as BLM and the Forest Service. A bug crew is comprised of one supervisor and four kids 12–18 years of age who work during the summer to help eradicate identified noxious weeds. Noxious weeds are a complicated problem because these foreign plants were unknowingly transported, usually in seed form, to the United States. Natural enemies such as insects and diseases that keep these plants in balance in their native habitats are not brought along with the seed. Without these enemies, the plants reproduce prodigiously, often forming huge infestations. Examples in southern Idaho are spotted and diffuse knapweed (once a 20,000 acre problem in Camas County alone but still widespread in southern Idaho), Canada thistle, Dalmatian toadflax, leafy spurge, and—our hero—purple loosestrife. After multiple introductions in the 19th Century for beekeeping, as an ornamental plant, and in discarded soil used as ballast on ships, purple loosestrife has invaded nearly every U.S. state and at least six Canadian provinces. For decades now, entomologists for the US Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management scoured the native habitats of noxious weeds looking for their natural enemies. For example, diffuse knapweed is native to Turkey but it doesn›t dominate the plant landscape in that country. The researchers examine these plants to determine what is naturally controlling their growth and spread. When those controls are identified, they can then bring back to the United States the insects and diseases that are the specific plant’s enemies. Of course, not all are suitable for use in biological control because of the danger that they may affect native plants or agricultural crops. The approval process is rigorous and tightly regulated by the agencies. So where do the Bug Crews come into play? Once the insects, or host of insects, are approved for use, the Bug Crews provide two vital links. First, the crews can get the insects onto the weeds with little or no insect loss. Second, and equally important, is the monitoring. Bug crews do not simply toss insects out of a moving vehicle in the area of a noxious weed infestation. Each release site is carefully chosen, baseline data on plant vigor and size of infestation are collected, then monitoring of plant vigor is done annually until the infestation is gone and the site is considered «retired.” Three years after the initial insect release, the site is re-examined for insect establishment. Proving that bio-control is effective is a long-term commitment. Gooding County is part of a statewide effort to remove the purple loosestrife through bio-control, in cooperation with the BLM and the Idaho State Department of Agriculture. Becky Freiberg, director of the Southern Idaho Bio-Control Program at University of Idaho extension service, says that the purple loosestrife was studied in Europe, its place of origin, by students from University of Idaho. The bugs were observed in the labs to be sure they wouldn’t eat other crop species and would focus just on their target. Several years after Camas County’s Bug Crew (the first of its kind) was up and running, the Gooding Soil Conservation District supervisors felt it was such a worthy project—both in harmonious weed control and as an educational tool for students— they elected to start a bug crew in Gooding County. Nan Reedy, the Camas crew supervisor, went to the science classes at Gooding Junior High and soon a new crew was selected. Since 2012, Roman Scott has served as the Gooding Bug Crew supervisor. Under his direction and with the cooperation of Tri-County Weed Management Area director, Terry Ruby, sites on purple loosestrife, along with Canada thistle and knapweed, have been set up and baseline data has been collected. “The problem of purple loosestrife is fairly widespread, including Montana, Washington, and Idaho,” said Freiberg. “This method is far more cost effective in the long run because we don’t use chemicals. The process is slow, but once the bugs are introduced to the specific area, they keep the invasive species in check.” The Bug Crew mem-
Training for members of the 2014 Gooding Bug Crew will be held on June 5 at the Gooding extension office. Joe Milan, interagency coordinator for biological control, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISDA), will provide students and supervisors up-to-date information about purple loosestrife and other noxious weeds. The Gooding Bug Crew is always eager to find new sites where purple loosestrife is flourishing. For more information, leave a message with SBIC Director, Becky Freiberg, at 208-934-4417.

Magic Valley Dairy Days – What it’s all about! By Jan Gooding Cornett, reporter/photographer There is always something to be learned as we remember what we are celebrating and why. The dairy industry is a vital part of the everyday lives of the residents of the Magic Valley. Many non-profits use this event as their fundraiser for projects and scholarship funds. This year the Wendell Chamber of Commerce awarded 15 scholarships in the amount of $500 each to Idaho students attending Idaho schools to further their education. Adelaide Collings Taylor was chosen as the first Grand Marshall because she and her husband had one of the first Grade A quality dairies in this area. The Taylors had been in the dairy business for 3 generations at the time. Adelaide Collings Taylor was educated in the Wendell public schools and was an honor student. On June 26, 1928 she married Reed Taylor. They homesteaded northwest of Wendell and had one of the first dairies in the area producing Grade A milk. To this union there were five children born; Wallace, Ronald, Glen, Lois and Mary Lou. Her husband Reed passed away on January 19, 1961; leaving her a widow at the young age of 50. Her sons Ronald and Glen continued on with the dairy, building it into one of the highest quality registered Holstein herds in the state. This year’s Grand Marshalls are Fred and Lorraine McCloud, lifetime residents of Wendell who have served the community in many capacities through volunteerism and community involvement. The dairy industry continues to be a vital part of the economy in Wendell and throughout the Magic Valley. The event has grown from a one day gathering to three days of carnival, live entertainment, cow pattie bingo, car show, community breakfast, and free dairy products given away on Saturday after the parade.

Building Childhood Memories By Joe Chapman ©2014 Occasionally, I’ve been asked if I like to read books. After containing my inside laughter, I usually mumble some excuse such as “No, not much”, or “Only if I want to re-live painful memories of my Organic Chemistry class”. Not that there’s anything wrong with reading books. It’s just that for me books seem to take so long to read in my hectic lifestyle. The last one I attempted to read about was ten years ago. I managed to get about half way through and am still waiting to finish it…..maybe one of these days after the kids are gone. However, I do enjoy the shorter outdoor magazine articles. One I still remember vividly while growing up in the flatlands of Nebraska was about some guy that took a salmon fishing trip to the wild and scenic Salmon River in the rugged mountains of Idaho. The author vividly explained the incredible excitement he felt as he fought a giant four-foot long wild salmon that was just one of thousands migrating back from the ocean to complete their life journey and spawn in a crystal clear stream that you could almost jump across. He described fishermen lining the banks of the raging river, rods bent and whooping and hollering as they scrambled across slippery rocks and tried to land their fish. As a boy growing up fishing for catfish in mud-choked rivers surrounded by humid cornfields, I dreamed I would one day cast a line in Idaho for these magnificent fish that were bigger me. Although it took about forty Only then did I notice my than years, hooked my first salmon legs shaking like an aspen severalI finally years ago, but I remember it leaf in the breeze - and as if it was yesterday. first fish I was hooked on salmon kicked my butt. I hookedThat it almost by fishing. accident, and originally thought I had yet another snag. But a couple quick shakes of his head and I knew I had a monster on. I reared back on the heavy rod and tried to fight him in the fast current. Up and down the bank we went, as the fish tore line off my reel and jumped several times. I could not believe the incredible power of this beast on steroids. Thinking I was close to winning the battle, I somehow let some slack in the line and “Poof” the fish was gone, leaving me on my butt in the rocks. Only then did I notice my legs shaking like an aspen leaf in the breeze, and I was hooked on salmon fishing. Once my heart stopped pounding and the “rush” subsided, I regained my composure and vowed to renew my effort to land one of these king salmon. I remembered the story I had read as a boy, and now I was reliving the article, only I was the one fishing. I was “living the dream”, and felt incredibly lucky and fortunate to be able to live and work in such an incredible state that offered such a fishing opportunity. That’s what many of us want I think…..just the opportunity to fish for the great fish, or hunt or see the great animals that roam the vast mountains while we inhale the majesty of this wonderful state. I pity the reclusive city-dweller that never takes the opportunity to participate in the magnificent outdoors. Perhaps they should’ve put down the book and picked up a magazine article when they were young so it could’ve blessed their life like it has mine. This is going to be a great year for salmon fishing. Don’t let the opportunity to get out and breathe the fresh mountain air and get a huge tug on your line pass you by. Maybe I’ll see you on your butt on the rocks, legs shaking like an aspen leaf in the breeze, with a huge smile on your face. I’ll be the one next to you, on my butt also, grinning from ear to ear!

Father Knows Fresh My favorite lesson Dad taught me occurred when I was about seven years old. We walked into a Jack-in-the-Box one morning and he said, “Let’s get a burger for breakfast.” I looked around behind us, searching for someone who might arrest us for ordering such a thing before eleven in the morning. Mom always offered two options for breakfast; cereal or scrambled eggs. A hamburger wasn’t a legal choice, was it? No one came out of the darkness to arrest Dad and me and we enjoyed burgers for breakfast that day. The concept of a non-egg, non-cereal involving breakfast was mind blowing. Dad has always and continues to teach me to live life outside the lines. Dad lived in Massachusetts and Tennessee with my step-mother, Sandy, when I was young. During my visits, the two of them would take me to restaurants, diners and gourmet food stores, always introducing me to the new food trends and flavors. In the summer, Dad and Sandy grew their own vegetables in community gardens and we would take trips to the local produce stands. Once again I thought we were breaking a major rule when Dad pulled the husks off of fresh “butter and sugar” corn and offered it to me as a snack. The thought of eating corn before it was cooked had never occurred to me. I can still picture his long side-burns as we drove back to the house in his red pick-up truck, eating this raw corn which tasted as sweet as candy. We were covered in corn silk when we returned home. I still eat raw sweet corn to this day, right after I purchase it from the produce stand of course. Others were able to share their “oddball” father-food lessons when polled on Facebook. Elaine’s dad taught her to create a delicious delicacy by smearing peanut butter on powdered sugar doughnuts. John’s father taught him the very valuable lesson of chewing carefully while eating game killed with buck-shot. My personal favorite came from my friend, Bevann, whose father taught her that substituting dessert for dinner on occasion can be enjoyed by the whole family. He would bring home a box of See’s chocolates and serve the kids chocolates and milk for dinner. Bevann’s mother passed away while the kids were still very young. It’s touching to hear how this father created fun memories for his kids during some difficult times. Our moms do such a good job teaching us the basics in the kitchen, the core classes of cooking if you will. Dads seem to teach us the electives, the lessons we remember long after the years of schooling have ended. As silly as these lessons may seem at the time, later on they often become priceless information. Happy Father’s Day to my special Dad and all the dads, grandpas and uncles this month. I hope you enjoy burgers for breakfast, raw corn in the truck, peanut butter dough-nuts, wild game dinners and a box of chocolates paired with a glass of milk for dinner! Here’s a new recipe I recently came up with for baked beans cooked with beer: Beer-y Good Baked Beans 2 1/2 cups dried pinto or white beans 2/3 cup ketchup 1/3 cup stone-ground mustard 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce 3 tablespoons brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon pepper 2 medium onions, chopped 1 cup raw sliced bacon, chopped 1 cup sliced bacon, fried until crisp and chopped 1 can Sockeye Porter beer The night before baking the beans, sort through the beans for any pebbles or dirt and discard. Rinse the beans thoroughly. Place the beans in a large pot and fill the pot to the top with cold water. Allow beans to soak overnight. Drain the beans in the morning and discard the water. Cover the beans with fresh water in the pot and place on the burner. Bring the water to a boil and then allow to simmer for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees while the beans are simmering on the stove. Drain the beans again, reserving one cup of the cooking liquid and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, mustard, worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, seasoned salt and salt and pepper. On the bottom of the bean pot, place one third of the chopped onions. Follow with one third of the raw and cooked bacon and spoon one third of the beans into the pot. Pour one third of the ketchup mixture over the top. Repeat with the next two layers of onions, bacon, beans and sauce. Pour the reserved one cup of cooking liquid and can of beer over the top of the beans. Place the lid over the top of the bean pot and put the pot in the pre-heated oven. Bake for 6-8 hours or until the beans are tender. Note: This recipe can also be done in a slow-cooker. However, more liquid may need to be added during the cooking process. Jane Deal co-owned the Ein Tisch Inn and Wild Rice’s Catering in Hagerman from 2003-2009. She is the author of the cookbook for Ballard’s Idaho Golden Greek Cheese. In 2013, Jane co-authored a cookbook featuring Idaho Preferred products titled, “Live. Eat. Local.” When it comes to cooking, she adheres to two core philosophies: Always use fresh and local ingredients, and refuse to be afraid! She believes the cooking experience should always be filled with joy, not fear.

Gooding Remembers Its Veterans GOODING, IDAHO — In Gooding’s Elmwood Cemetery are the graves of 600 veterans who faithfully served their country in every war dating back to the Civil War. Every Memorial Day, the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and the American Legion of Gooding—along with many community members—place crosses and American flags on each grave to commemorate these veterans’ service and sacrifice. Old and young from every walk-of-life unite briefly to honor our universal American heritage. During this time of reflection, the citizens of this small Idaho town share memories and shed tears for those men and women gave their all to ensure we now can live under the flag of freedom. The hundreds of waving flags stand as a symbol that even though these veterans are no longer with us, their service will always be remembered. —Contributed by Jason Neil

The countdown continues;
Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument
Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument has celebrated eleven events on its way to celebrating 25 events during 2014. The monument is 25 years old and we invite you to join us for the June events. Saturday, June 7: Snake River Overlook Re-opening and National Trails Day The Snake River Overlook has a brand new look. Join a park ranger on Saturday morning from 10:00 to noon to see the changes. New signage alerts visitors to the upcoming overlook and an entrance sign greets you as you pull into the parking area. New features include: picnic shelter, vault toilet, revamped walkway and deck; a redesigned parking lot, and four new interpretive panels highlighting the story of the Hagerman Fossil Beds. Coffee and donuts will be provided. June 7 is National Trails Day. We encourage you to come out and hike the monument’s trails. Across from the Snake River Overlook is the trailhead for the 3 mile emigrant trail that parallels the original Oregon Trail and ends up at the Oregon Trail Overlook. Starting the trail at the Oregon Trail Overlook provides an easier downhill hike. Unless you wish to hike 6 miles a second vehicle at each overlook is a must. Shorter hikes start at the Oregon Trail Overlook and take visitors alongside original ruts of the Oregon Trail and out to several overlooks and interpretive panels that describe the Hagerman Valley, the cliffs where the fossils were found, and the early pioneers. The Rim to River Trail provides three opportunities for hiking based on ability level, interest, and time. The rim portion of the trail provides lovely views of the valley and river with little change in elevation. The portion of the trail leading down to the river is more challenging while the shorter river portion provides a different landscape of trees. The round-trip hike back to the trailhead is challenging and rewarding. Stop in at the Visitor Center in Hagerman for more information and trail guides. June 25-29/July 2-6: Folklife Festival – Washington, D.C. Hagerman Fossil Beds NM will be represented at this year’s Folklife Festival in Washington D.D. from June 25-29 and July 2-6. The Monument will be entering into a sister park agreement with Sibiloi National Park in Kenya. Kenya is one of the featured countries at this year’s festival. Hagerman Fossil Beds NM has been invited to share information about the fossil beds with festival participants at the Kenyan tent.

Museum Announces 2014 Theme
GOODING, IDAHO—This year’s theme for the Gooding County Historical Museum is Everything Military. The museum is open every Friday and Saturday throughout the summer from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The museum is looking for volunteers to continue to enhance the focus on the military and home front for the 2014 season by helping with displays, recording artifacts, and other projects. Call the museum at 934-5318 or go to their webpage at www.goodingcountyhisotricalsociety.shutterfly.com. The museum celebrated National Military Appreciation Month (NMAM) last month with several events, including the presentation on May 21 at the museum, Building for War: The Saga of Wake Island, sponsored by Magic Valley Bank and the Idaho Humanities Council. Bonnie Gilbert, author of Building for War: The Epic Saga of the Civilian Contractors and Marines of Wake Island in World War II, began the presentation with an overview of the story of civilian contractors, many from the inland northwest, who came to Wake Island to build a navy base in 1941. Gilbert’s book covers Wake’s location, the Pan American role, Wake Island’s strategic importance, the shocking descent into war, and the fate of the men on Wake Island. She presented a slide show that included photos from her 2011 Wake Island Trip as well as a reading from the book and the information on the JPAC mission before opening discussion. Bonnie Gilbert teaches history at North Idaho College in Coeur d’Alene. She is actively aiding the Joint POW-MIA Accounting Command in its Wake mission and was invited to Wake Island in fall 2011, where she provided a historical tour for visiting USAF generals of the Pacific Command.

New library building HAGERMAN — Charlotte Rosen, director of the Hagerman Public Library, recently met with David Moe, estimator and partner with Boisebased CM Company, Inc. “We went over the needs of our community, and we will be able to adapt blueprints from another library they recently built in Idaho,” says Rosen. Such a move will save the project thousands of dollars in primary costs. Ms. Rosen met with the librarian and staff of the recently constructed library and learned what worked and what didn’t work in the new construction. “We can learn from them and not make the same mistakes,” says Rosen. She plans to meet with other librarians around the state to learn more about their building experiences. The CM Company, experienced in building schools and libraries about the state, will help the library board develop the different levels of costs required in order to start seeking funding grants to support the project. The fact that the land for the library has already been donated will be a major factor in the success of obtaining grants. Most grants, however, require matching funds. Rosen indicated the help of the community would be pivotal in increasing the existing funds to ensure adequate matching funds will be available. Fundraisers and several book sales events are on the planning stages. Flowers in the planters at the front of the present library building were donated by the Hagerman FAA and third-graders Jarred Douville, Enrique Booth, Ashton Ruffing, Branden Goodman, Lupe Gomez, Rosi Marez, Maria Savl, Lauren Tiffany, and Jonah Knapp. Missing Books: The following books are missing from the Hagerman Public Library. Should they be hiding in your home please bring them back no questions asked and fine free. “Sing you Home”; “Pirated”; “7th Heaven”; “The Bible” by Isaac Asimov; “Hot Stuff”; “Christmas in a Barn”; “Frosty the Snowman” “lost City” and “The Last Girls”.

Wastewater Facilities- Continued from page Holtzen emphasized, “We continue to see permit limits become more and more stringent,” referring to EPA and DEQ requirements. Unfortunately, the best choice picked by council members may not be the one that will work with Hagerman’s soils or system location. Alan Jay wanted the group to know, “I think cost is very important.” Mayor Weir has been in contact with the EPA, and one goal is to implement a consent agreement with the EPA, which outlines a schedule for bringing the city’s sewage treatment system up to par. When asked if this was an urgent matter, Holtzen said, “I think it is very urgent. The EPA is expecting the City of Hagerman to do something.” Councilman Jay Hauser agreed, saying he felt the EPA would be patient, “As long as we’re moving forward to show we’re trying to fix the problem.” Mayor Pete Weir encourages continued citizen input; “If anyone needs more information, come into the office. We’re going to be as open as we can.” Once a decision has been made on which alternative is best, it is possible a bond election could be on the November ballot. Another meeting will be held soon.
