Outlaw Lawn Dragsters race to benefit fire victims
On June 10, the 1st Annual “Roots & Vines” celebration
was held in New Plymouth, to benefit economic development in Payette County. On July 31, this check for
$4000, the proceeds of the festival, was presented to
the Payette County Commissioners. At the presentation
were, from left, Payette County Economic Development
Board members Ron Wrest, Economic Developer, and
Secretary-Treasurer Jeannette Mayer; Payette County
Commissioners Larry Church and Rudy Endikat; Chad
Hengeler, Vice Chair of the Payette County Economic
Development Board; and Marc Shigeta, Payette County
Commissioner.
The Outlaw Lawn Dragsters, the New Plymouth Fire
Department, and the Double Diamond Steakhouse
joined forces on Saturday, July 29, roaring up Ash Street
and raising money for the “Burn Out” fund at the same
time. The Burn Out fund provides victims of house fires
with money to help meet their initial expenses, such as
clothing and housing. Saturday’s event added $350 to
the fund.
The races began with time trials, after which race fans
bid generously for the chance to sponsor their favorite
dragster. Then there was some serious race action. The
sponsor of the winning car received certificates for four
prime rib dinners at the Double Diamond Steakhouse
and $100 cash.
Calling all Kiwanians: Fair Time is upon us.
The Monday, August 7, Kiwanis meeting will be at
7 p.m. at the fair booth for clean-up & set-up. (There
is no noon Kiwanis meeting on August 7.) Evening
times are still needing a few extra hands. If you have
contacted a Kiwanian through the year to volunteer
your help and that Kiwanian has not called you back,
please call Ryan Kerby at 278-5740 to sign up for
your fair booth work time. This is our biggest fundraiser for the year. Thank you to all who make this
fair booth possible. Without you, we wouldn’t have
money to give back to our area youth.

Rawhiders 4-H Club Wins Big at State Speech Contest
Eight members of the Rawhiders 4-H Club competed
at the state-level Idaho Youth Horse Contest publicspeaking competition in Filer on July 10-11. Competing
in a field of about 150 speakers, the Rawhiders won two
state championships and four other prizes.
The team and their awards included: Kaitlyn
Gray and Emma Bennett: 1st Place Senior Team
Demonstration; Chanci Gardner: 1st Place Junior
Speech Competition; Austin Stelling: 2nd Place Junior
Demonstration; Brooke Bonfiglio and Cosi Goade: 3rd
Place Junior Team Demonstration; Kristine Simonsen:
3rd Place Intermediate Demonstration; Erica Wilson: 4th
Place Intermediate Demonstration.
These 4-Hers are veterans of the Payette County 4H contest and the district Idaho Youth Horse Council
meet, but in Filer they competed against youths from all
over the state, not just 4-H members. The youngest of
the Rawhiders is 10 years old; the oldest, 14. When they
reach the age of 14, they will be eligible to compete on
the national level.
The Rawhiders 4-H Club is led by Myrn Gosse. She

Hometown Boy Does Great at Golf!
New Plymouth, Idaho, is not known for its lush greens and
fairways, onions and alfalfa aside. Here, irons and woods
have more to do with agriculture than golf, but that may
soon change.
Hometown boy, Brice Boudreaux, is rather unassuming
and humble regarding his success as a junior golfer. Brice,
a 12-year-old student at New Plymouth Middle School,
has qualified for the 25th Annual Idaho State Junior Golf
Championship. The tournament will be held in Post Falls,
Idaho, on August 7-8. Brice holds the first seed in Boys
District 1; this is quite an accomplishment when you
consider that District 1 includes golfers from Ada, Canyon,
Washington, Owyhee and Payette counties.
Although New Plymouth school district does not have a
golf team, Brice’s passion and natural talent for the game
have driven him to create golfing opportunities in his
hometown. His family’s chicken coop and Dick Fisher’s
fields bear witness to many an hour of practice. Brice holds
many an unofficial title at the Ontario Golf Course, where
his grandfather, Paul Laccoarce, is a golf instructor and
Brice’s mentor.
His father and mother, Mike and Jeanine, realized Brice’s
interest in golf at age three. A photo at that age shows a golf

stance that would rival anybody’s on the

Mayor’s Message
By Scott Moscrip
What is the smart question?
Last week I finished with a dumb question, “Should we raise taxes?” This week I
would like to focus on the “smart” question, “Why should we raise taxes?”
There are times when taxes and fees should be raised. In my opinion—all the Mayor’s
Messages are my opinion—government exists to bring groups of people together to pay
for items too large for a single person to pay for or provide. This can include everything
from defense to environmental issues. Call me a constitutionalist, but the founding fathers of our great country started a revolution against governments that wanted to control
people’s lives. Since the founding of our country, the government has slowly grown in
scope of what they pay for and what they provide, and slowly we have started to yield to
those providences until we feel obligated to have the government provide for our every
want and need. One of my old pappy’s favorite sayings is, “Governments look for taxes
the way businesses look for revenues—they are always looking for more.” With these
things in mind, I should get back to the smart question, “Why should we raise taxes?”
We should raise taxes/fees when there is a public need that must be fulfilled. In the
City, the public needs are City Government, Fire, Water, Sewer, Streets, Police, Parks,
and Libraries. These are the primary responsibilities of the City. If there is a need in
these categories, cost increases in providing these services, or projects that by law must
be done in one of these areas, and current funds are not sufficient to provide them, then
those are good reasons to look into raising taxes.
Buy now and build your summer home in the mountains at Cascade. Window
view of the lake, lots of trees! Power nearby. Call Cathy or Carla. $75,000. #74805.
As citizens of New Plymouth, you should be aware that by law we are required to
provide municipal water that has less than 10 parts per billion of Arsenic. We have gone
through the alternatives and found the best one and are in the process of having it engineered and finding out what it will cost to implement the solution. This is a fee increase
that we will have to do because the current fees do not bring in enough funds to pay for
it.
Why pay rent? Call Cathy today to see this nice 3 bedroom 2 bath manufactured
home in New Plymouth. Located on a quiet street, close to town and schools.
$74,900. #807-06.
In the City of New Plymouth, we have pipes buried in our roads that leak, are broken, and that have to be replaced. These pipes carry water, sewer, and irrigation water
throughout the City. With the cost of labor, materials, and engineering—not to mention
the cost of getting State and Federal approvals—we again find ourselves unable to repair
items in a timely fashion. We need to fix the “most broken” pieces as soon as possible
and prepare financially for long term plans on replacing older infrastructure.
4 BA, 2.5 BA Fruitland home w/ small rental home behind. Approx. 1.5 acres.
Zoned light industrial, close to schools & town. Call Cathy. $195,000. 768-05.
With potential new changes to environmental laws by the Federal Government, the City
of New Plymouth within the next decade may by law be required to put a sewer treatment plant on our lagoons—another project that only a City could afford.
SELLER MOTIVATED! 1.69 acres zoned light industrial. City services, next to
r/r tracks. Fully fenced level ground, 2 shares of Noble water. Could be re-zoned .
Call Mike. $124,900. #804-06.
There are many other projects that we, as a City, could invest time, effort, and financial
resources into, but at this point my personal focus has been on the bigger issues of Arsenic removal, city growth, and city infrastructure and their associated costs.
Move into this secluded 2 BD 1 BA older home or build dream home amongst
mature trees. Property can be sub-divided. Call Cathy. $155,000. # 726-05.
As a City, you as Citizens need to know that we have been cutting back on items we
don’t need, eliminating items that we don’t use, and have been very careful about how
we spend your money. In some instances, that may mean we haven’t provided everything
that you as Citizens want—as the CEO of the City, many of those final decisions are my
responsibility or the responsibility of the City Council—but overall as a City that means
we have had surpluses of money each year. We have taken that money and refilled the

VON CONTINUES
By Von Gail Hamilton from her Dec 2004 book ON LEAVING
Last week I mentioned my Tommy and his spontaneous singing. A lady stopped
me in the J.C. Penney store one afternoon, asking me if I wasn’t embarrassed to have
him singing so loudly. I told her NO - what would embarrass me would be if he was
screaming and fussing. He could sing all he wanted, whenever and wherever, as the
mood struck him. The acoustics in the store evidently pleased him. She just sniffed
and walked away.
What a little fixer he was! It began with the punch clown he’d received for Christmas. A child-sized toolbox had also arrived that same year. The clown died an early
death after being speared with a screwdriver. As if that wasn’t enough - his trike was
dismantled that same morning, with no regard for the hours Short had spent trying to
piece it together properly the night before.
As the years went on, his fascination with how things worked continued. One
afternoon he was just “too quiet.” I found him sitting on my bed with my alarm clock
in many pieces scattered around him. I guess he must have heard me complaining
about how it didn’t keep good time and the alarm didn’t work all the time. He was 7.
I didn’t bother giving him the dickens. He was trying to help and had saved me the
trouble of throwing it over the hill. A couple of hours later, he came in beaming and
said, “We’ll find out tomorrow if I fixed it or not.” And you know what? That clock
kept good time from that day forward.
So many fun things to remember. For a time I was obsessed with exploring old,
empty houses, buying one (with what?), restoring it to its original condition (again
– with what?). The kids and I would drive around country lanes on Saturdays, peering
into filthy windows with ragged curtains still clinging to a dangling rod, investigating
outbuildings and checking on unoccupied properties.
One particular excursion had taken us to a huge 8-room farmhouse with a hiredman’s room at the back of the main floor kitchen and a “summer kitchen” as part of
the basement. It had a magnificent stone fireplace with pot hooks and built-in oven.
The hearth stones told of many years of hard use to feed field hands and a large family. The outside door led to a grape arbor with benches under the front porch. I could
imagine the woman of the family sitting there in the shade of a hot afternoon shelling
peas for supper or peeling peaches to be canned.
Although the house was frame, front and back, both ends were thick field-stone
walls that made the house one of the most picturesque I’d ever seen. There were
remnants of what had been a lovely yard with many different bushes and flowers, plus
a flagstone walk that surrounded the house, leisurely winding through hundred-year-old
trees.
We ventured upstairs to examine the bedrooms and the other tile-trimmed fireplaces
that graced each room. No bathrooms. Just bedrooms. Since the house wasn’t creaking
or making scary noises, we weren’t too surprised to discover an attic stairway. There we
found a bolt of overall material, one of curtain material, assorted boxes sagging at the
seams, and a lot of just plain STUFF left behind by the last inhabitant. It was beginning
to get dark, so we gathered up some magazines dated 1923 and left.
The kids and I drew up plans of how we would fix up that old house. It was a fun
project, a daydream to be sure. Little Tommy would cut down all the wild bushes that
had grown randomly, and Ardy and I would scrub and clean. It was our secret place. We
couldn’t wait to get back and see what else we could find in the cluttered attic. We made
lists of what we would need to do and I made inquiries, only to discover it was part of
an estate. All the heirs were scattered into many states and there were so many that none
felt it worth their while to make a trip to see about disposing of it. None of them needed
what little money they would gain when the selling price was divided up among so
many.
A few weeks later, my son’s “Mama, Look!” stopped me cold as we rounded the bend.
OUR HOUSE, that terrific old farmhouse, had fallen to the ground. The two stone walls
still stood on either side, their chimneys forever denied the warmth of another fire. A
group of men were there. They had placed heavy ropes around the stone walls and two
tractors were tugging gingerly to pull them down. Wanted to make it safe for any of the
farm kids that may happen by and go exploring too near a dangerous situation.
I blinked back the tears. I had loved that house and so had my children. We drove
home in silence. The kids seemed to be in shock. They thought I was sad because the
house was gone. I was thanking my Heavenly Father my children and I hadn’t been in
the attic as it crashed to its death.

NEW PLYMOUTH NEWS the fact that our country is a much safer population
because of our intense focus on disease prevention and
immunization. One would think this would make a clear
message to those who object. Herd immunity does not
always work, because of international travelers, immigration and unusual outbreaks, so these individuals are
flat playing with their and their children’s lives.
Vaccination Time
By Jim Callis, MPAS,PA-C
Sad to say, but it is true, summer vacation for school
children is soon to be over. It is that time of year for
parents to review their children’s immunization status
and make sure that everyone is up to date. All children
who attend public school are required by law to be immunized.
We are all exposed to many germs every day, even
when eating food. Bacteria and viruses enter our mouth
and nose with every breath. When these foreign bodies
enter our system, these so-called germs are called antigens. Our body’s immune system, once it is exposed to
one of these antigens, usually not only makes antibodies
to kill the antigen, but also uses a portion of the antigen
to remember what antibodies to release the next time
the antigen is found in our system. Knowing how this
surveillance system works is how we are able to make
vaccinations work. A vaccination is nothing more than
taking a small piece of, or an inactivated form of, a
virus or bacteria and introducing it to our body. We get
exposed to these potentially harmful or fatal antigens
without becoming ill or suffering from possible adverse
effects of the disease. Then, if we are ever exposed to
the real infectious agent, our body is already familiar
with the disease and is more likely to be able to deal
with it effectively. Because of the heavy exposure we
all get every day to antigens, this is why it is more than
safe to receive many vaccinations at one time; especially since there is usually no way the vaccination can
actually cause the disease.
Every one has the right to have or to object to receiving the immunizations, as with every level of medical
care. Various groups of people object to becoming immunized, and these groups, because of their objections,
seek education at some other source. In America, these
people still benefit from what we call “herd immunity.”.
Non-immunized persons are somewhat protected by
There are many books concerning vaccinations and
I would like to just highlight a few of the vaccinations
here:
One of the new vaccinations is one that helps prevent
certain types of meningococcal disease. This is a very
exciting vaccination due to the very serious nature
of the disease. It is a bacterial infection that is a very
serious and painful spinal infection that can result in
death. As many as 10% of those that are treated with
antibiotics—once they have the disease—will die. That
is one out of every ten people who become infected. Of
those who live, 11 to 19 percent may become deaf, have
problems with their nervous systems, have seizures or
strokes, become mentally impaired or may lose arms or
legs. Those at most risk are infants less than one year
of age and college freshmen who live in dormitories.
The vaccination can prevent 4 types of meningococcal
disease, including 2 of the three most common in the
US. The vaccination works very well and protects 90%
of those who get it. It is recommended that children at
age 11-12 get the vaccination.
Hepatitis A causes nearly 60% of all viral hepatitis
infections in America. Hepatitis can cause liver failure and death. It can be obtained by oral transmission.
Because of this, all children should be immunized,
especially children who, as in this area, like swimming
and playing in rivers. Please check and make sure your
child has this vaccination; if not, please contact us immediately.
The Varicella vaccination is the vaccination that is
used to help prevent Chickenpox. Despite this vaccination, as many as 20% of children who received this vaccination may still get chickenpox. Because of this, the
Centers for Disease Control will soon be recommending
a booster shot between ages 4 and 6, following the initial vaccination at age 12-18 months. The big advantage
of receiving the vaccination is, in theory, that once a
person is older they may never experience Shingles,
called Herpes Zoster by the medical community, which
can be a very painful and even debilitating disease resulting from the reactivation of the chicken pox virus.
Related to this is an exiting new vaccination for adults
over 60. Zostavax is a vaccination that is just like the
chickenpox vaccination, only about 14 times the dose.
This vaccination will boost the immunity and decrease
the likelihood of developing shingles by 50%. This vaccination should be available soon.
You may have heard about the soon-to-be-available Gardisil vaccination. This is a vaccination to help
prevent genital warts and cervical cancer. The CDC will
probably recommend that females get the vaccination
around age 11 or 12. It has not been studied in males
yet, and therefore, is not indicated. This vaccination will
not eliminate the need for regular pap exams because
the vaccination only covers 70% of the viruses that can
cause cervical problems and 90% of the viruses that
cause genital warts. Nevertheless, this is a great risk
reduction for women everywhere.
There were recent outbreaks of mumps in Iowa.
Mumps is a viral infection of the salivary glands and is
highly contagious. It is spread through aerosol droplets
(coughing). Thousands of individuals in Iowa came
down with the disease. Some of these were people relying on herd immunity. This is an important reminder
that in all vaccination, not 100% of those who get it
are going to be immune. The bottom line is this: those
who choose not to be vaccinated then put those who
are, at higher risk. For the mumps vaccination, 80% are
protected after one dose and 90% after two doses. The
vaccination may wane in effectiveness over time and
adults who are over 50 are encouraged to get a dose if
they are not sure if they ever got a second dose.
Research is clearing up some parents’ concerns over
the safety of vaccinations. Vaccinations have been
blamed for everything from Autism, Diabetes and
Crohn’s to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
Despite these accusations, these conditions occur at the
same rate for those who have been vaccinated as those
who have not. Not immunizing children places them
at far greater risk. For instance, those who choose not
to receive the measles vaccination are at 35% higher
risk of getting the disease. Another good example is
when Japan cut back their Pertussis (whooping cough)
vaccination. Cases of Pertussis jumped from 393 to an
astounding 13,000 in just 5 years.
Some groups had concerns about a preservative called
Thimerosol, which until 1999 had been in some of the
vaccinations. Thimerosol is a derivative of mercury. Despite the fact there was no evidence that Thimerosol was
linked to Autism, this preservative has been removed
and is no longer part of the controversy.
Valley Family Health Care recognizes how important
it is to have all of our children healthy and “at arms”
against disease. Because of this, we are proud to boast
that 100% of our consenting patients’ children are immunized, regardless of ability to pay. Please refer to the
immunization schedule provided to review with your
records. If you have questions about this chart, your,
or your child’s immunization status, please feel free to
contact one of our Medical Assistants, Shela or Maria,
in our New Plymouth clinic across from the Library.

Boise Art Museum hosts Frank Lloyd Wright Exhibit
By Lindsey Parker
BSU Culture Writer
so they not only fit, but also blend well into the surrounding nature of an area. This is
known as organic architecture.
Frank Lloyd Wright, one of America’s most beloved architects, designed more than
300 residences in his 70-year career and, from now until October 22, the public can
experience his work at the Boise Art Museum.
Wright had a passion for architectural studies and was exposed to structural influences as a small child, playing with kindergarten educational blocks (Froebel Blocks.)
Wright attended the University of Wisconsin School for Engineering and joined a
fraternity, Phi Delta Theta. Although he did not earn a degree, Wright became an apprentice during his years at the University and eventually joined the firm of Adler and
Sullivan.
By 1890, Frank Lloyd Wright created all residential designs for the firm. He received commissary work from all over the country. States such as New York, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Michigan, and Ohio still display working models of some of Wright’s
houses.
Wright’s most famous design is called “Fallingwater,” and cost approximately
$155,000 to build, including Wright’s $8,000 architect fee. The house is constructed
of a series of balconies and terraces, with a beautiful, cascading waterfall running
underneath part of the house.
This design incorporates Wright’s passion for including natural elements into houses
Today “Fallingwater” is Wright’s most well-known design, and is also protected as a
national monument.
Wright had definitive philosophies about his work and said, “Continuously nature shows him the science of her remarkable economy of structure in mineral and
vegetable constructions to go with the unspoiled character everywhere apparent in
her forms. Form follows function – that has been misunderstood. Form and function
should be one, joined in a spiritual union.”
Frank Lloyd Wright also worked as an interior designer. Many of his creations will
be on display at the Boise Art Museum. The exhibition includes over 100 original
objects designed by Wright, including furniture, metal work, textiles, drawings, and
accessories. A fully illustrated catalogue will accompany the exhibition.
Check out the Boise Art Museum at 670 Julia Davis Drive to learn more about

Squaw” are reprinted exactly as they were written, with
the permission of the Goldsmith family.
event which is reported to have happened on its
mountain. The warriors were hunting game and left
their squaws and babies in a sheltered place on the
mountain. Some white men chanced by and killed all
of them. This event may have given the butte its name,
or the outline of the butte itself may have suggested it.
Foreword
The History and development of the New Plymouth
community in Idaho as told in records, reminiscences,
and pioneer stories. Partially written by the members
of the Junior English class of the New Plymouth High
School, 1951-52. Completed, compiled and edited by
their instructor, Claire Goldsmith. We dedicate this book
to ALL who have helped make this community truly
American.
This history of Payette Valey, especially of this
section in and around New Plymouth, is the work of
a group of students in Junior English Class of New
Plymouth High School 1951-52, and their teacher,
Claire Goldsmith. The purpose of the work was to
preserve the pioneer stories of this section before
the old-timers were all gone, and to make the youth
of the community proud of their heritage. The class
numbered forty students. Each attempted to make
some contribution. The students studied old newspapers, interviewed old-timers, and used other means of
obtaining their information. As much as possible the
work was kept their own.
Squaw Butte
It is fitting that we have a picture of Squaw Butte on
the cover of our book. It is our near, hovering, friendly
mountain.
Those of us who live in or near New Plymouth
believe we have the very best view of the butte. Seen
from any other direction, it just isn’t “The Squaw.”
From our view the squaw is reclining on her back with
hands folded across her chest. Her long hair streams off
to the north, finally to disappear behind the mountains.
Viewed from the Boise Valley, “the Squaw” becomes a
short butte, a silhouette of an Indian.
“The Squaw,” which at its summit is over 7000 feet
high, quite dominates this valley and is an ever-changing canvas for Mother Nature. Sometimes it is done
in Parish blues, sometimes it is white as a bridal veil,
often it is a restful blue-green, or at sunset on a winter’s
evening it turns to a lovely orchid color. It makes one
think, “I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from whence
does my help come?”
Legend has it that the butte was named from a sad
…A committee, consisting of a number of old-timers, examined this history and made suggestions or
corrections. These changes were made. An effort has
been made to have the history as nearly authentic as
possible. The committee consisted of Mrs. George
Barker, Mrs. Estella LaCrone, Mrs. Harry Thompson,
Miss Daisy Mason, Mrs. Delia Pence, Mrs. Nellie Ferguson, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Dotson, Mr. and Mrs. Phillip
Roney, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Tuttle, Mr. and Mrs. Chas.
Campbell, Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Pomeroy, Mr. and Mrs.
James Pinson and Milt Nesbitt. They gave invaluable
service as did those who were personally interviewed.
Our grateful thanks.
We were not able to include all of the pioneers, as
many had moved away or passed on. Consider this
then not an attempt to write a complete history; it is
rather a cross-section of the development of the valley
and the story of some of its pioneers.

NEW PLYMOUTH NEWS IDAHO FISH & GAME
Group Honors Burley Conservation Officer
Idaho Fish and Game Conservation Officer Tim Ferguson was honored as Shikar-Safari Club International
Wildlife Officer of the Year for 2005 Monday, July 17.
“I’m at a loss for words,” Ferguson said upon receiving the award. “This is both an honor and a privilege to
receive this prestigious award. There are many officers
deserving recognition in the state and the Magic Valley
Region.”
Ferguson has worked as a conservation officer in the
Burley area for the past 15 years.
“Tim is dedicated to wildlife management and wildlife
law enforcement which are demonstrated in his wellrounded approach to his duties,” department Director
Steve Huffaker wrote in his nomination letter.
Some of his accomplishments cited in the letter
include:
· Contacting more than 8,300 sportsmen and detecting
1,388 violations
· Helping to teach 65 hunter education classes
· Rehabilitating and releasing 116 injured raptors into
the wild
· Giving more than 70 wildlife and streamside presentations to school children
“All too seldom do the fine wildlife officers receive
the recognition and encouragement they so richly
deserve for protecting and preserving our wildlife,” said
James Maddox, Shikar-Safari vice president in his letter
to Ferguson. “We in Shikar-Safari Club International
hope that by presenting this award each year, we can
in this small way make a worthy contribution to this
important work.”
Firearm Industry Helps Idaho Recruit Hunters
The firearm industry’s trade association, the National
Shooting Sports Foundation, has awarded a $112,000
grant to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game.
The foundation says the grant recognizes the agency
for developing one of the nation’s most promising ideas
for recruiting and retaining hunters.
“We rewarded the strongest concepts for strengthening America’s hunting and conservation system into the
future. Recipients this year have developed proposals
that are creative and far-sighted and resolve some of the
real barriers facing hunters today,” foundation President
Doug Painter said.
Idaho’s proposal is to survey hunters, anglers and
landowners to evaluate overall success of Idaho’s ACCESS YES! program. ACCESS YES! creates public
hunting opportunities on and across private lands, with
a goal of using easements and leases to acquire access
to 700,000 acres of public land through private property
by March 2007.
tion agencies chosen from 19 proposals from 15 states.
This is the fourth year of the grant program. To date,
the program has allocated more than $1.7 million to 33
states.
“More and more, state conservation agencies nationwide are getting into marketing, youth programs, responsive management and human dimensions research,”
Painter said. “Our industry believes that’s vital, and
we’re willing to help pay for it.”
Super Hunt Applications Due
The first Super Hunt drawing of 2006 raised $103,000
from 19,272 tickets sold, down 3,000 tickets from last
year.
The second Super Hunt drawing is coming up, and the
deadline to apply is August 10. The second drawing for
the 2006 Super Hunt will be August 15, when one Super
Hunt Combo and Super Hunt tags for two elk, two deer,
two antelope, and one moose hunt will be drawn. Winners are allowed to participate in any hunt—controlled
or general--open anywhere in Idaho this fall for the
species drawn. All other rules apply for the hunt chosen;
for example, archery-only or muzzleloader-only hunts.
The money raised by the Super Hunt drawings goes to
fund the ACCESS YES! program, designed to improve
hunter and angler access to private land or through
private land to public land by compensating willing
landowners. The program goal is to provide access to at
least 1 million acres of private land.
More than 100 properties now are enrolled in the program, opening 622,000 acres of private land and access
to an additional 700,000 acres of public land for hunting
and fishing. This nearly doubles the amount of private
land from last year.
Hunters and anglers can support the program by applying for a Super Hunt drawing or by making a donation. Super Hunt applications are available at license
vendors, Fish and Game offices, by phone at 800-5548685 or 800-824-3729, by mail or online. Donations are
accepted at all license vendors.
Applications for the second Super Hunt drawing must
be received at Fish and Game no later than August 10.
Mail applications to IDFG License Section, P.O. Box
25, Boise, ID 83707.
Applications are available online at: http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/superhunt/, at license vendors and Fish

Lewiston Man Gets 90 Days for Poaching
By Mike Demick, Clearwater Regional conservation
educator
Butchering a poached deer in the back of a pickup
truck parked on a Lewiston street led to jail time, fines
and the loss of a rifle and hunting and fishing privileges
for one local man.
“The National Shooting Sports Foundation is a wonderful partner, and I know we will convert that support into significant and direct benefits for sportsmen
through long-term public land access and for landowners with our Responsive Management Survey,” said Jim
Unsworth, wildlife bureau chief with Fish and Game.
On June 2, Richard Lee Black, 27, of Lewiston, was
convicted of unlawful possession of wildlife. Nez Perce
County District Judge Carl Kerrick sentenced Black, a
convicted felon, to 90 days in jail, two years probation,
a $1,980 fine, loss of hunting and fishing privileges for
three years, and the loss of his rifle.
The grant was made through the 45-year-old foundation’s Hunting Heritage Partnership program, which this
year awarded $365,000 in grants to nine state conserva-
The case began November 3, 2005, when Idaho
Fish and Game Conservation Officer George Fischer
responded to reports of three men butchering a deer in
10 NEW PLYMOUTH NEWS the back of a grey four-wheel-drive Chevrolet pickup
parked on East Main Street in north Lewiston.
When Fischer arrived at the scene, he saw a box of
rifle cartridges on the dashboard and three individuals
butchering a mature whitetail buck in the truck bed.
When he found no deer tag attached to the carcass,
Fischer asked who had shot the deer. After a brief
silence, Black said that the deer belonged to Troy, his
brother-in-law’s friend who had just left.
Black said he did not hunt, but he had let Troy borrow
his truck to go hunting on Webb Ridge south of Lewiston. After further questioning, Black denied having
any guns in the vehicle and gave Fischer permission to
search it. Fischer found several spent .30-30 casings, a
Marlin .30-30 rifle, binoculars, and a spotlight plugged
into the cigarette lighter.
Fischer explained to Black that having a deer carcass
without a tag was unlawful. He then seized the deer
and rifle and advised Black that he would be charged
with possession of unlawfully taken deer if Troy did not
come to the Lewiston Fish and Game office and explain
why the deer was not tagged.
Black assured Fischer that Troy truly existed, and that
he would bring him to the office later that afternoon.
Back at the Clearwater Regional office at 3 p.m.,
Fischer determined by measuring the temperature along
the deer’s thigh bones that the animal had been killed
about 10 to 12 hours earlier – likely with the aid of artificial light sometime between 3 and 5 a.m. that day.
Fischer also discovered that Black’s driver’s license
was suspended. Charges of failing to tag the deer, driving on a suspended license and illegal possession of a
firearm were dismissed, and Black pleaded guilty to a
misdemeanor charge of unlawful possession of wildlife.
“This sentence sends a strong message that this sort of
illegal activity won’t be tolerated,” Fischer said. “The
Nez Perce County court system affirmed the seriousness
of this crime with the penalty given.”
Concerned individuals play a vital role in protecting Idaho’s wildlife. Anyone with information about
wildlife violations is urged to contact their nearest Fish
and Game office, any local law enforcement authority
or call the Citizens Against Poaching Hotline at 800632-5999. Callers can remain anonymous and may be
eligible for a cash reward.
Fish and Game Commissioners to Meet in
Boise
The Idaho Fish and Game Commission will meet in
Boise on August 7 and 8. Commissioners will conduct a
workshop on the Department of Fish and Game’s 2008
budget beginning at noon on August 7. They will conduct a public hearing at 7 p.m. that evening at Fish and
Game headquarters, 600 S. Walnut, Boise.
Commissioners will convene at 8 a.m. on August 8, to
discuss migratory game bird rules, seasons and limits
for firearms and falconry. Though they will not be set
until July 28, waterfowl season recommendations are
expected to be similar to those in 2005.
Tentative department recommendations for both duck
and geese include:
· A 107-day season with limits similar to last year,
including a one-bird bag limit for pintails and canvasbacks.
ISSUE 132
· A statewide two-day youth hunt on September 30 to
October 1 for hunters aged 15 and under.
· Season dates in Area 1, northern and eastern Idaho:
October 7 to January 19, 2007.
· Season dates in Area 2, southwestern Idaho: October
14 to January 26, 2007.
Open house to discuss the proposed seasons and take
comments will be announced by local Fish and Game
regional offices.
Deadline to Buy Controlled Hunt Permits
Big game hunters who were successful in controlled
hunt drawings must buy their permits and tags by August 1.
Any permits and tags not purchased by that date will
be forfeited. After a second drawing, any leftover permits and tags are sold over the counter.
In addition, the application period for the second
drawing for left-over tags runs from August 5 - 15 for
deer, elk, antelope and fall black bear.
Results of deer, elk, antelope and fall black bear
controlled hunt drawings are available on the Fish and
Game Website at: http://fishandgame.idaho.gov. Hunters can buy those permits and tags at any Department
office, license vendor, by telephone at 800-554-8685 or
800-824-3729, or online at https://65.67.43.193/internet/.

Website.
Wolf Control Actions Authorized
In response to several livestock depredation incidents
in July, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game has
authorized several wolves to be removed.
Under federal rules that changed in 2005 and an agreement between Idaho and the federal government signed
in January, Idaho took over day-to-day management
of reintroduced wolves in Idaho protected under the
Endangered Species Act. That includes authorizing the
lethal control of wolves to protect domestic livestock.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Wildlife
Services carries out the control action at the request of
Idaho Fish and Game.
On July 10, Wildlife Services confirmed that wolves
from the Blue Bunch Pack had killed five lambs and
injured another three lambs on private land southwest of
McCall. Traps were set with the intention of killing up
to two wolves, with the exception of the alpha female,
the only collared member of the pack.
On July 14, Wildlife Services confirmed that wolves
from the Copper Basin Pack killed a calf and injured another calf on public land near Mackay. An unsuccessful
aerial hunting flight was performed that morning.
Traps have been set with the intention of killing up to
two wolves. More aerial hunts were planned to remove
the target animals.
On July 20, Wildlife Services captured and killed a
sub-adult, gray, female wolf in an ongoing control action southwest of McCall. Efforts continue to remove
one more wolf from the Blue Bunch pack.
January agreement, and started making the call on
livestock depredation, nine wolves have been killed,
wildlife bureau chief Jim Unsworth told commissioners
earlier in July. In addition, ranchers killed nine wolves
preying on livestock, and 23 sheep and cattle have been
killed by wolves, he said.
The change in federal rules that allowed the state to
take over management and eased restrictions on lethal
control did a lot to help ranchers, Unsworth said.
Department officials still are working on a proposal
to capture wolves out of helicopters in the Selway-Bitteroot Wilderness during elk counts. Federal funding
also is available for on-the-ground wolf trapping and
monitoring. Biologists caught and radio-collared four
wolves this spring in three packs in the Frank ChurchRiver of No Return Wilderness.
Officials from Fish and Game and the Idaho Office of
Species Conservation met July 6, with the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service to discuss the Department’s proposal
to reduce the wolf population in the Lolo Elk Management Unit of the Clearwater Region. The discussion is
ongoing, and Fish and Wildlife Service will continue to
analyze new and existing data. No time for a decision
has been set.
On July 15, Wildlife Services confirmed a calf on
Danskin Mountain was killed by a wolf. Traps have
been set with the goal of collaring one wolf and killing
another.
Discussions also are continuing about delisting the
wolf, which would give the state complete control over
wolf management.
A lamb on Green Creek on the Boise National Forest
near Big Trinity was killed by members of the Steel
Mountain Pack on July 15. Traps were set with the
intention of killing up to 2 wolves.
Ask Fish and Game
On July 20, Wildlife Service confirmed that members
of the Steel Mountain Pack killed 10 sheep and probably another seven in Rainbow Creek on the Boise
National Forest. Traps had been set to remove up to four
wolves, as long as at least two collared animals remain
with the pack.
Since Idaho took over wolf management under the
ISSUE 132
Q. Can you hunt varmints at night with a spotlight?
A. State law allows a person to hunt raccoons with artificial light. A landowner or person with the landowner’s
written permission can hunt predatory and unprotected
wildlife with artificial light on private property to
protect property or livestock. On public land, a permit is
required to hunt predatory or unprotected wildlife with
artificial light. Predatory wildlife is defined by state law
as “coyote, jackrabbit, skunk, weasel and starling.”
You must have an Idaho hunting license.

FARM POLICY: WHERE CAN WE IMPROVE?
Guest opinion by Idaho Senator Mike Crapo
The Farm Bill is one of the most significant economic and environmental public
policy initiatives in our nation today. With the current farm bill set to expire next year,
Congress is gathering information on farm policy effectiveness and taking suggestions for improvements. This is a great opportunity for Idahoans to, once again this
year, be part of this historical process.
The 2002 Farm Bill, drafted in early 2001, was written at a time when our nation
was anticipating a significant budget surplus. Then costs of domestic terrorism and
natural disaster recovery changed the picture--both increasing government spending
and contributing to a slump in the U.S. economy.
Now, five years later, our economy is growing at a steady, stable rate with a noticeable reduction in the deficit due to increased tax revenues. Still, the federal government remains solidly “in the red.”
Also, expanding world markets introduce another dynamic into the process as we
consider the next farm bill.
It’s in this budget climate that deliberations begin on a new farm bill. Consequently,
discussions about the shape and direction of the upcoming legislation require deliberate, thorough and thoughtful feedback. These discussions are only productive with
input from farmers, ranchers, agricultural organizations and other interested individuals and communities.
As a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, I held 23 listening sessions
in Idaho in January to gather input for the next farm bill. I was impressed with the
participation and meaningful discussions at those meetings. Issues raised mirror larger
interests of many Americans: fuel costs, expanded renewable energy sources, farm
input costs, food safety and the importance of fair and equal treatment in international
markets. Other areas of interest included commodity crop programs, specialty crop
assistance, nutrition programs, agriculture research funding and conservation programs. Concerns about funding sources, outlook for the future and bigger picture risk
issues were also brought up.
Where to write local legislators:
Sen. Monty Pearce (R) Home Address: 2001 County
Line Rd., New Plymouth, 83655. Home Phone: 2785408. E-mail: [email protected].
Committees: Finance/JFAC Resources & Conservation
(Vice-Chair). Career: Rancher

Majority Leader Resources & Conservation, Revenue
& Taxation, Ways & Means. Career: Farmer
The Senate Agriculture Committee is now holding field
hearings nationwide regarding federal farm policy. These,
like the listening sessions in January, allow policy makers the opportunity to find out what is working and what
needs to be improved upon. These field hearings include
input from local stakeholders from the agriculture, conservation, forestry and nutrition communities. Thus far, the
Senate Agriculture Committee has conducted full committee field hearings in Georgia, Missouri, Pennsylvania
and Iowa. I will chair a Forestry, Conservation and Rural
Revitalization Subcommittee hearing at the University
of Idaho in Moscow on August 11; three additional full
committee field hearings are planned for Nebraska, Montana and Oregon in August.
Depending on the outcome of these hearings, the Committee may hold more this fall.
As many know, a successful farm bill will support efficient programs that work on
the ground now and years down the road. Successful also means cost-effective for the
agriculture industry and the government.
Success results from comprehensive input into the policy process. Many individuals, organizations and industry professionals have provided valuable insight and
helpful recommendations at this point, but we are still gathering data. Therefore,
I encourage input and comments as we get closer to the drafting process, which is
expected next year. Please join me on Friday, August 11, at the hearing in Moscow to
be part of this process in person.
I value Idaho stakeholders’ continued participation in this proactive legislative
