Sheepherder Monument is Here Despite the high winds and swirling dust, the bronze monument was delivered in late April, much to the delight of local residents, the Hagerman Historical Society, and of course Bill Jones and his family. A crane was used to lift the pieces off the truck and locals stopped by to offer advice and be part of the historic moment. The sheep were placed individually and much discussion ensued as to which ewe went where, and how far from the sheep the horse and herder and his dog would stand. The bronze depicts a shepherd and his horse, his herding dog, and eight sheep.The artist is Idaho native Danny Edwards. The site is at the north end of Hagerman, on the west side of the road just southwest of the RV park. Monument dedication is set for 11 a. m June 29th. Mark your calendars for this exciting event. The Hagerman Historical Society can be reached at the museum: 837-6288 www.hagermanmuseum.com.

Thousand Springs Wine & Culinary Center Opening Soon in Hagerman. This Center is an opportunity for producers to retail locally grown and/or produced products to residents of our valley and visitors to the area.The purpose of the Center is to showcase the agriculture, aquaculture, and viticulture products of South Central Idaho, and to provide consistent delivery of locally produced food products and wine to residents, visitors, retailers and restaurants In early 2013, Janelle and Terry Mode of Hagerman and operators of Country Elegance in Hagerman expressed an interest in operating the Center out of the Country Elegance location. This is the ideal means to implement the objectives of the Center. The Modes are experienced retailers who have embraced the concept and goals of the Center and will work to make it a success for all involved. Contact information for Janelle and Terry: cmjanelle@yahoo.com, 208 837-9055 or 208 539-6771 The benefits to you the producer are clear; you will now have a reliable local retail outlet for your products, without incurring the costs associated with opening a retail outlet. The Thousand Spring Wine Culinary Center will provide: producers an established retail outlet with central location, consistent operating hours; experienced retailers to represent market and sell your products; proper merchandising, storage, and retailing of all products; and an opportunity for both local and online sales. A website is being established so that the Center can offer online sales to producers One of the key elements of the feasibility study was the ability to have a location for classes, tastings,and culinary events. After discussion, it was decided to utilize local venues in the area for such events. Registration and coordination for these events will be facilitated by the Center and will provide the producers that valuable link to retail sales

Life at Onsen Farm Lean & Mean Juicing Machine by Leslee Reed
Copyright 2013
My husband and I saw this movie a few months ago and I have to admit the movie had an impact on both of us. In the documentary FAT SICK & NEARLY DEAD, Joe Cross is at the end of his rope and almost without hope. 100 lbs. over weight and suffering from an autoimmune disease he realizes that he is on a path that might not end well....with one foot already in the grave, the other one isn’t far behind him. The film chronicles how Joe decides to head off on the road with his juicer and a generator in tow, determined to regain his health. Driving across the U.S. for 3000 miles Joe has one goal in mind: to get off the pills and achieve a healtbalanced lifestyle. On his trek Joe talks with more than 500 people about food and health and longevity. At “a truck stop in Arizona Joe meets a truck driver who is morbidly obese and suffers from the same rare condition. As Joe starts to recover his health, Phil decides to begin his own journey as well. What happens is nothing short of inspiring - an amazing tale of healing and human connection. This is an uplifting story about two men from different worlds who realize that the only person who can save them is themselves.
going to Snake River Acupuncture for a session with Julie. My favorite ‘Mean Green Juice’ recipe: Bunch of kale or other leafy green vegetables, 1/2 to 1 cucumber, 2 -3 Stalks celery, 1” piece of ginger, 1/2 lemon and 2 granny smith apples. Cut everything to fit the feed tube and push it through into a bowl (skin, seeds and all), drink and enjoy!
We talked about getting a juicer and juicing at least once a day. About a week after seeing the movie I ran into a friend who told me she knew of a used Champion Juicer that was for sale for $120.00. This was a good deal because new ones are almost $300.00. I took the leap of faith and bought it. Champion Juicers are the masticating type of juicer, they juice leafy greens and there are more nutrients in the juice with this type versus a centrifugal juicer.
Hold on to your hats, this is going to be a wild ride! I may be a little grumpy for the next few days so you might not want to drop in for a visit. But, I am so looking forward to feeling good and wearing clothes that I haven’t worn for several years! I’ll be back in June to let you know how it all goes. Leslee lives with her husband, James Reed, at the southern end of the Hagerman Valley on their 5 acre farm “Onsen Farm”. Onsen means “hot springs” in Japanese. The farm is going into its 7th season of winter greenhouse production producing fresh greens and vegetables in 6000 sq. ft. Leslee is passionate about sourcing and cooking with locally grown food. She also sells real estate and paints in her studio .
We dabbled in juicing over the next couple of months and liked how we felt after drinking a juice that was so jam packed full of good fresh nutrients. We really didn’t think about juicing solely as our food source for a period of time until a man came out to my house to clean my carpets. He saw my Champion Juicer and started to comment about how he and his family had seen the movie and decided to start juicing. He had lost 25lbs so far. I thought that was pretty amazing. Then, I ran into a young farmer from Bliss who randomly told me he had seen a movie about juicing and had gone on a juice fast for two weeks and had lost 25 lbs. I asked him if he had felt sick or tired while on the fast and he replied “No, I felt great and had more energy than I’ve ever had.” He explained that he planned on continuing to juice during the day but would be eating dinner. He still wanted to lose more weight.

Well....there you have it....it seemed like something was telling me that I should do this. I’m pretty healthy but like most of us I could be healthier. And, let’s face it, I could stand to lose some weight. I like to cook and I like to eat. To be honest, one of my main motives in doing this is to lose weight for my daughter’s wedding next September. I have a beautiful dress that is perfect for the wedding but it doesn’t quite fit right now and I don’t want to go out and buy a new dress.

My husband James is going to juice right along with me - at least for four days. He doesn’t need to lose any weight, in fact he needs to gain weight, but he developed a skin condition last January and it still hasn’t completely gone away. His symptoms seem strangely similar to what Joe Cross (from the movie) had. He is on a prescribed homeopathic remedy of Sulfur, and that seems to be helping. He feels a good spring cleanse would really get him back on track and feeling great instead of just okay. I did my grocery shopping yesterday and now we are about to embark on this adventure in two days. We plan on juicing up mainly fruit in the morning and then moving into the green drinks in the afternoon. Along with juicing we are also drinking herbal tea and adding an Omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acid oil to the juice - I use Udo’s Oil. I am also trying to pamper myself during this time by having a massage at Miracle and soaking in the hot water. James is planning on

Table For One You would think cooking for just yourself would be easy, wouldn’t you? No worries about who likes what, when they will be home or how many food groups will be represented. Feel like spaghetti? Make it! Don’t want to make sauce? Slather the noodles in butter. Don’t feel like eating at the table? Bring dinner to bed. Feel like eating out of the pan standing in the kitchen? Go for it! Frozen cookie dough for a main course? Awesome! The decision is yours! This should be a good thing, right? Yes, but there is also no one there to give opinions, directions, or most of all... judgements! I can’t begin to count all the times I have had dessert for dinner. Somewhere along the line, in my strange nutritional thought processes, I got the idea that frozen yogurt would be ok for an evening meal. It’s yogurt! All I had to do was add granola and I convinced myself I was eating a very nutritional meal. As time went on, I would use the excuse of a stressful day and substitute chocolate candy toppings for the granola. Then the self-serve yogurt shops came on the scene. Several black-outs later, after filling my cup with two tablespoons of yogurt and four cups of confections, I decided I had a problem and had to stop. Have you ever browsed through a cookbook with recipes for one? It’s very depressing indeed and the reality is you will still need to purchase a whole loaf of bread, a whole pound of butter or a dozen eggs to make the recipes! Yes, you will have a quiche for one, but enough ingredients left over to feed a group of hungry lumberjacks. (I am an only child, so I have had this problem happen more than once in my life.) Here’s the saddest part of this story, if the recipe doesn’t turn out there is no one to commiserate with you. It’s just you eating one serving of really bad food -alone! -STOP! I had several friends read the first part of this editorial and they all agreed with each other and told me this article was sad. Sad? I thought it was funny! I was lonely several times in my life and sometimes as a child. However, that is how I developed my cooking methods. When you are alone you have to amuse yourself and create your own entertainment, and it can actually be kind of fun. That’s how I learned to create the dishes I make today. (I’m working on a Reuben Stew with Swiss Cheese Dumplings as we speak!!) Aunt Patsy made a good point too. There will only be one set of dishes to do when the meal is done! So there is an upside to cooking for one. You can also share your creations with family and friends outside of your home. I love hearing what my friend, Rebecca, makes herself for dinner when her husband is out of town. She misses him when he is gone but is always happy to take the opportunity to make exactly what she feels like eating for a change. The best part, in my opinion, is she has extra time to make us cupcakes! I looked in one of my favorite set of cookbooks from Better Homes and Gardens, “Cooking for Two” with a copyright of 1968. Here is an updated version of their recipe for a cheese souffle. Enjoy, alone, and remember it makes two servings. On the other hand, who’s going to know if you eat both?

Showing Up
must learn that these six busy little gals are part of the family. The dogs were totally trustworthy with our old hens, but the way these bite-sized little ones race around and exercise their wings in a very enticing way sparks Habi’s predatory juices. My training goal is to teach her an alternate behavior - in this case, to look at me after glancing at the chicks, rather than locking into a fixed stare. Day One goes quite well. She’s obviously very curious about the chicks, but after a few minutes of leash work with yummy beef heart treats, and a few more minutes of off-leash treats and lots of praise, she politely keeps her distance for the rest of the afternoon. Would I trust her if there was no fence between? No, not yet, but this is a great start. Despite the day’s accomplishments, I still wish I’d made it to Hagerman. Note to self: learn to make a decision and accept it. 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.
Christina O’Brien Copyright 2013
Decisions, Decisions I’m discovering that it’s much easier to just show up if one’s options are limited. In December and January, the choice was easy. Should I stay home and clean the bathroom OR head over to Hagerman to give the dogs some car trip practice, check out some great birding habitat, and see old friends? Now - late April - tomato and basil seedlings need potting up, the garden needs to be cleaned out so it’s ready for the main push, kale and broccoli starts desperately need to get into the ground, and bindweed and thistles are overtaking what was supposed to be a large, low-maintenance, perennial bed. The chicklets badly need to get outside now that the days are warming, and that means the dogs need to be chick-proofed. Saturday is filled with family obligations, leaving one day to either go to Hagerman or catch up on garden work. Worse, my next several weekends are committed to one thing or another, so it’d be June before I could break away for another Hagerman trip. The garden won - but it was close. I did accomplish a lot on Sunday, which will pay off with produce for the freezer and many good meals this summer, and (I hope) a simplified flower bed that’s easier to fight bindweed and thistle in. The garden, though, is a bit of a conundrum. We’ve been experimenting with winter gardening: - lettuce seeds sprinkled across a raised bed in October, covered with a window pane laid across the raised bed, harvestable in March. We’ve done this for years, and look forward all winter to those first early salads - leeks and parsnips, planted last spring, mulched well in the fall, and dug whenever the ground wasn’t rock-hard - arugula and kale, which go to seed in the fall and selfsow prolifically wherever they wish - broccoli and cabbage transplants tucked into a cold frame, and more cabbage under an experimental double layer of row cover fabric Arugula proved to be the star of our winter garden, germinating in December, laughing off January’s sub-zero temperatures, and ready for harvest in February. When we peeked under the double-layer row cover after January’s bitter cold had eased, we were amazed to find the cabbage alive and well but still tiny, and lush self-seeded arugula. The commercial cold frame is a much more protected setup; we harvested its first broccoli in late Feb(!), and ate the first of its cabbages in early April. The parsnips, by the time we got around to digging them up in March, were huge and delicious, and I just dug the last of the leeks. Lettuce report: I put a thick mulch and no windowpane over the lettuce. Consequently, it’s just starting to poke through the mulch now, two months behind schedule. Not sure what I was thinking... My conundrum is this: with all these winter crops coming into their own now, how do I clear out space for the early spring crops? The chicklets, who at six weeks are sporting most of their true feathers and look like pint-sized hens, spent the afternoon in a screened-in ‘playpen’ in the back yard. Habi

Soldier Mountain News
The Gardener’s Plot
A new season has come and gone at Soldier Mountain. New life was breathed into the mountain thanks to Bruce Willis’ team and thanks to the board, management and staff at Soldier Mountain Ski Area, Inc. Soldier Mountain Ski Area is grateful for the help and support that we received from friends and communities. One of last year’s goals was to develop and improve the ski school and introduce a “Boot Camp” program. This program offered a series of three lessons and upon completions of the lessons; discounted passes were rewarded to the participants. With the help of Rachel Lewis and Kevin Dugan(co-directors of the ski school), Beth McLam and Mike Smit ( Educational coordinator and Rental Shop manager, respectively) and staff, 1100 students learned to ski and ride. Twenty-two groups and schools were involved in this program, and next season we are hoping to increase those numbers. As we approach the off-season we are beginning projects to further improve the facility for the enjoyment of skiers of all ages and abilities. Last season the Magic Carpet was installed as a conveyer belt that takes beginners up the slope with ease. For the upcoming season we are fundraising to improve our boot camp learning program. There will be a fundraiser banquet held as an Oriental night with Sushi on the evening of May 11th up at the Soldier Mountain Lodge to raise money for the Learning Center expansion. Tickets are to be reserved in advance for $32.00 by calling 208-490-0729 or 208-599-5051. The menu includes Gyoza, Yakitori Chicken, Teriyaki Trout, Teriyaki Beef, Pot stickers and Key Lime Pie. There will be a no-host bar that will open at 5:00 p.m. with dinner beginning at 6:00 p.m. Seating is limited so please call. We’ll see you there. Valerie K. Metzger

Did you know that the Hagerman Valley is a hotspot for wintering birds? Did you know that more than a hundred bald eagles winter in the Hagerman Valley? Great blue herons, trumpeter and tundra swans, snow geese, egrets, and thousands of ducks and geese are just a few of the species that depend on the open water that the Valley offers to wintering birds. A celebration of wintering birds is planned for Presidents’ Day weekend, February 14, 15th and 16th, 2014. It is a first for southern Idaho. Beginning Friday evening and concluding on Sunday morning, presentations, workshops, and intensive birding opportunities will take place over the course of the three day event. Sponsoring organizations are the Prairie Falcon Audubon Society, Southern Idaho Tourism, and the Hagerman Valley Chamber of Commerce. This celebration of birds will welcome families and birders of all levels to the banana belt of Idaho. Come join us! More information: Delores Smith, deloressmith11@ hotmail.com.
