Next weeks meeting will have Payette Extension Office’s new man on board. Tony. He had a nice display of knives that he has collected over his life time. The smallest being about 1inch long, the proudest one was from Idaho Fish & Game for his many years of service teaching Hunter & Bow Safety classes, the youngest childhood memory story was the one he was given at age 5 that he proudly called his “Toad Stabber,” and the name says it all. The Brag can was busy today, Max Grodon bragged on Joel McGinley on coaches Max’s grandson’s football team. Brian Harris bragged on seeing some large game down lower then normal and is now predicting a great hunting season. Which Joel into telling one of his “Jokes”. Personally, I think it is time for Kiwanis to implement a “Joke Fee.” Scott Moscrip ended the bragging can with brags on City Crew, The Denton Family and Payette County Sheriff Department. This past Friday a horse decided to wander through the end of town and topple over dead in the Moscrip’s front yard. The Denton’s covered the horse, the sheriff’s deputy placed cones around it and the city crew worked promptly to remove the horse. Mayor Moscrip and Mrs. Moscrip would like thank all those how helped out that morning. Our very own Rod Tegethoff was the program today. Rod’s funniest memory was one year at the Idaho State Fair in Boise, they had a claw machine and for ten cents you had a chance to pick up a pocket knife. Rod said he was more than successful on this game. Girl’s Soccer News On a more positive note the girls went to Colombia and dominated, as expected. Anna Pittman was able to play down on the JV and got the opportunity to play in the offense for a change. She scored within the first 5 minutes of the match. Lawren Stokes, Jianna Lingel and Beth Jones had an outstanding game. Stokes played midfield. Lingel played many differnt positions, while Jones continues to play in the middle of the defense. The final score ended at 7-0 and Jones was asked to play with the varsity. The Varsity had a rough start, but ended with a score of: 5-0. Jones had an outstanding Varsity game too. There were even two PK’s missed during the match and the score could have easily been 9-0. They are showing an obvious amout of improvement and love the opportunity to play soccer. Hunter safety is open to children starting at age 10. Children 10 and 11 years of age parents are required to attend with their child. Children 12 and older parents are highly recommended to attend.

The drive was capped off with a 20 yard touchdown run up the middle by FB Miguel Garcia, making the score 24-18 Pilgrims. The Panthers responded by driving down the field again and scoring a touchdown and 2-pt Conversion, taking the lead 26-24. Then the Pilgrims stepped it up on Defense in the 4th Quarter, shutting down the Panther offense and forcing two turnovers, an interception by Wes Hooten and another by Kyle Harmon. The Pilgrims scored 3 touchdowns in the final quarter, winning the game 47-26.

After a Parma punt and a Pilgrim return of 40 yards by Daniel Mena, the Pilgrims got good field position. Micah McMurry, the Pilgrims starting Strong Safety and Running Back, tweaked his ankle earlier in the game and finally had to call it a day during this series.

The kick was just long enough and sneaked through the left up-right to put the score 17-0 Pilgrims. It was the second longest field goal made in New Plymouth High School Football history! The Panthers finally got something going on offense and moved the ball effectively against the Pilgrims for the first time all day, scoring a touchdown late in the 1st Half making the Half-time score 17-6 Pilgrims on top.

The hardest part of my history to relive and write about. In ON LEAVING I go into much more detail but will try to sum it up here so others in the same type of distressing situation may perhaps put their own thoughts in order. Tommy came to me quietly one day. Would I be very unhappy if he stayed with his Dad when I left. He knew I would be less than a mile away and he could come see me whenever he wanted. He’d slip over to the store after school and maybe go home with me for supper and a visit. He didn’t want his Dad to be lonely. Short had obviously coached him. I asked him to let me think about it for a couple of days. Short wasn’t a bad man. I knew he loved his son. I could leave Tommy with him on my terms. Always clean, welldressed, well-fed, not left alone. Short agreed. Short’s campaign was in full swing. We were doing more than dancing. He returned to being the incurable romantic I’d married. I looked at it differently. Be a little nicer to the maid if it looks like she might quit. He didn’t see the basic problems. Was resorting to phony-sounding sweet talk. Whether we know it or not, and usually we don’t, it is the dcitatorguardian from whom I was struggling at last to be free. We had to confront our absolute separateness and aloneness. His Higg’s Inn trips daily translated to abandonment. There was no “protective other” anymore inside the dark room of my mind. No one who would always take care of me and mine; no one who would never leave me. He’d left us every time he hauled himself off to Higgs. Now, I had withdrawn from the marriage. He still hadn’t marked the changes in me. Dance with her, smile at her, even if that smile held a falseness that was infuriating. We should have faced each other squarely at an earlier point and talked openly about the door that was slamming shut between us. I couldn’t adequately explain the barrier. My words only confounded him. I remembered a time I was upset about the way his boss was using him. I said, “The thing that upsets me the most is - YOU’RE SO VERSATILE!” I meant it. He really was. He didn’t speak to me for three days. Finally, I approached him with the query, “Tell me what I did or didn’t do so we can stop this silent treatment.” He was angry because I called him Versa-something. I had to explain that “versatile” was a compliment, not a slam. By Bill Knight to get away with it. Somebody is going to discover the imposter in me. Soon, I thought, somebody will tell the world I’m a fraud on the writing scene. Either that or somebody will decide my work is worth publishing. Maybe not raunchy enough but basically good writing. What is the point, I wondered, in wasting more years, listlessly dodging bombs in a war that was over. If I lose him as my enemy,however, on whom can I blame all my future troubles? Yet, each time I tried to talk to him about something serious, I saw the near panic in his eyes. My desire to have a conversation was like an injection of morphine. He would fall asleep, or pretend to, right in his chair as I spoke. To work my way out of this dilemma, I made the decision that most of you would find unthinkable. I left my son in the care of my husband. Nobody would call me radical or crazy anymore and no one would tell me I would be back for a third try at marriage to him. Only later did I realize I’d been an entire year in preparation for the day I left. I would be working days and after school Tommy could come over to the store where I would be getting off work in just a few minutes. To my home for a good supper, a bath, do his homework, and his father would pick him up around 9 to drive him back to the farm. I wouldn’t be able to carry his limp body up to bed after he’d fallen asleep on the couch. He wouldn’t rare up in my arms again to blurt, “Grab that elephant’s tail!’ and then snuggle down again, fast asleep. I often wondered what that dream was all about. (by Von Gail Hamilton from her Dec 2004 book ON LEAVING) Von Gail Hamilton was born in Ohio and lived in Utah and Arizona before moving to Idaho seven years ago. Her weekly contributions to the New Plymouth News began in August 2004, with a “thank-you” from her blind dachshund, Junior, who appreciated the kindness of his New Plymouth neighbors. Junior addressed the community for about 26 weeks. When he ran out of material, Von began publishing excerpts from the many books she has written. She has submitted more than 90 columns. And so Von continues... OLD FANNIE By Bill Knight As farm kids in New Plymouth we knew horses, cows, pigs and chickens, and each of us had pets. Big sister, Lois, had cats, and brother Buck and I had dogs. His was Fannie, sort of a beagle rat terrier cross. Mine was Tootsie, kind of a pretty little thing without much individuality or personality. Fannie was all personality and didn’t realize that she was supposed to belong to Buck, except when we were riding horse back. Then she would follow directly behind his horse every step of the way, and when I say directly behind, it really doesn’t describe it. She put her nose within a fraction of inches from the horses’ heels, maintaining it constantly. I never saw her dodge or get bumped. Otherwise she waited and went with me. I was a gopher trapper and always carried a shovel. She waited by the shovel for me and automatically followed when I picked it up. If we encountered a bull snake she went on the attack. The snake could face her, twisting and writhing and threatening all the way. She would feint, dodge, jab, dodge, dance in and out and you never saw such concentration, until she could get a neck hold and then the shaking that followed was what the term “fast and furious” was all about. It was “take no prisoners”. When I caught a live gopher it was pretty much the same program. These were big blue pocket gophers with brown front teeth half an inch long, and they were fierce. I had my shovel and could easily dispatch either snake or gopher, but that might appear to be depriving Fannie of her assumed duty. As Dad said, she was a dog and a half long and only half a dog high, but she kept up on long jaunts, afoot or horseback, and where possible chasing noisily after rabbits. That was a losing endeavor. No wonder I turned to an independent pursuit out of exasperation. The good feelings writing gave me and my full-time job bumped me out of the dependency pattern. An agent I’d worked with showed me my writing was basically good. A college Literature Professor in Youngstown, Ohio had read and encouraged my work. My brother-in-law, Bookie, had read and critiqued. They were my mentors. My writing couldn’t be useless if three erudite men had taken time to read it and comment. I was delighted to acknowledge my shiny new capabilities.

This will create more water availability and pressure during extreme use, such as fires. This money comes from the Idaho Department of Commerce and Labor’s rural block grant fund, the same fund that gave New Plymouth $245,000 to put in the roads, water, and sewer to get the industrial park started several years ago.

The Forest Service reports that all road closures in connection with the East Roaring Fire in the Trinity lakes area north of Mountain Home have been lifted. But forest roads 172 and 129 still are carrying fire traffic and crew shuttles, and drivers should use caution in that area. Land managers across southern Idaho have lifted fire restrictions in effect for the Boise, Payette and Salmon-Challis national forest lands, areas within the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness and the northern portion of the Sawtooth National Forest, and BLM and state and private lands in southern Idaho. That means campers, hunters and others again may build campfires on public lands. But they are urged to ensure their campfires and warming fires are totally out before leaving them unattended. Even with shorter days, cooler weather, and some recipitation, forests and grasslands are still dry and remain susceptible to new fires. Hunters and others heading into the ackcountry, are advised to check with local county sheriffs or Forest Service Ranger Districts for updates on road closures and backcountry access.

Summer population estimates showed only 23,200 mature kokanee in the lake and another 66,700 two-year-old fish that would be next year’s spawners. Normally kokanee number several hundred thousand mature fish and more than a million two-year-old fish during the July trawl estimate. Two options were considered: · An immediate closure of the kokanee fishery lake wide. · A partial closure of the lake. Because kokanee are especially vulnerable to fishing pressure in the fall, little time was available for public comment. Of 50 anglers who commented on the proposals, 74 percent supported a closure and 66 percent favored a complete closure of the kokanee THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2006 fishery lakewide. Three factors have led to the record low numbers of kokanee in Coeur d’Alene Lake. Initially, record floods in 1996-1997 flushed many fish out of the lake. Reduced numbers of kokanee resulted in a dramatic increase in size from 10 - 11 inches to 14 - 16plus inches. Increased kokanee size attracted more anglers and harvest increased. Coeur d’Alene Lake was the number one fishery in the state in 2003 largely because of the kokanee fishery. Chinook numbers have also increased in recent years. From 1998 to 2001 the average number of wild and hatchery Chinook combined was about 29,000 fish per year. From 2002 to 2006 the number of Chinook increased to 69,000 per year. Predation on young kokanee increased. If the changes are made, Coeur d’Alene kokanee is expected to bounce back quickly. Numbers of kokanee fry and one-year old fish have been near normal. Fish and Game, Governor Announce Domestic Elk Hunt The Idaho Department of Fish and Game and Idaho Gov. Jim Risch announced Friday, September 15, a series of emergency depredation hunts to remove escaped domestic elk in Fremont County on the lam for more than a month. The first hunt will start Tuesday, September 19, and run through Monday, September 25, on national forest land within big game unit 62 south of Fall River and north of Bitch Creek. Risch, in a September 7 executive order, authorized the Idaho Departments of Agriculture and Fish and Game to try to kill an estimated 75 to 160 domestic elk that escaped in early August from a commercial domestic elk operation in eastern Idaho. So far, Fish and Game and Agriculture officials have shot 15 elk, but now the agencies are asking licensed hunters and private landowners for help. A bowhunter also shot one during the archery-only season open in the area. The depredation hunt will include private landowners and randomly selected hunters with valid Teton elk management zone A tags to participate. Hunters who do not have Teton elk tags may sign up at the Idaho Falls Fish and Game office to be put on a list in case additional hunters are needed. Hunters who shoot an ear-tagged, domestic elk need not validate and attach their elk tag, Fish and Game Director Steve Huffaker said. But the department would like to get blood and tissue samples from the domestic elk to test for diseases and genetic origins. The hunt will be conducted in sequences: September 19-25; September 26-October 2; and October 3-14. Fifty hunters will be selected for each hunt. Additional hunts will be conducted if necessary. In the interest of public safety, Fish and Game will order an emergency closure of the current archeryonly hunt within the depredation hunt area. State Fish and Game and Department of Agriculture officials have suspended their efforts to shoot the escaped domestic elk. Conservation officers, however, will monitor the depredation hunts and shoot ISSUE 140 any domestic elk incidental to patrols, said Steve Schmidt, Upper Snake regional supervisor. Elk appear to be dispersing, especially since the rut is on, and a larger number of hunters can now be more effective at removing the domestic elk. The department appreciates the help of landowners and hunters who are willing to pursue and remove the domestic elk. For additional information, contact regional wildlife manager Daryl Meints in the Upper Snake regional office in Idaho Falls at 208-525-7290. Sage Grouse Season Still Closed in Owyhee County The Idaho Department of Fish and Game reminds upland bird hunters that the sage grouse season in Owyhee County west of the Bruneau River is closed. The sage grouse hunting season opened elsewhere in the state on Saturday, September 16, and remains open. The area was closed in response to mortality from West Nile virus in three parts of the county. Fish and Game biologists have found unusual numbers of radio-marked sage grouse dead this year, and there have been numerous reports of dead sage grouse from the public. As the hunting season on the Duck Valley Indian Reservation, adjacent to Owyhee County on the Idaho-Nevada border, was closed in August after a number of sage grouse died from West Nile virus within the reservation. Only two birds infected by West Nile have been found outside of Owyhee County, and there have been no reports of unusual numbers of dead sage grouse this summer. Hunter check stations, run by department personnel in many areas, will collect blood and wings from harvested birds to help monitor sage grouse health and numbers. West Nile virus is a mosquito-transmitted disease, and hunters should protect themselves from mosquitoes while hunting. As always, wild game, including sage grouse, should be cooked thoroughly before it is eaten to ensure that any bacteria or viruses are killed. Hunters are reminded that a permit to hunt sage grouse is required in addition to a valid 2006 hunting license. The permit costs $1.75 and is available at Fish and Game license vendors. Commissioners to Meet in Boise The Idaho Fish and Game Commission is set to meet in Boise Wednesday, October 4.

Hunting Private and Public Land—Know Before You Go By Mike Demick—Idaho Department of Fish and Game As the fall hunting season approaches, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game gets hundreds of calls about public land access. Many hunters want information about public land boundaries, maps, access and camping information. Except for wildlife management areas around the state, Fish and Game manages little land. But several other state and federal agencies govern Idaho’s public lands. Each of these agencies has specific rules and regulations and can furnish detailed maps showing access roads, trails and camping areas. While a lot of public land is available to hunters, some of the best hunting areas are on private land. These lands play a key role in wildlife conservation because many species of wildlife utilize private land habitat for much of the year. Idaho’s wildlife belongs to all residents, but everyone should respect the landowner’s rights and always ask first to hunt and fish on private property. In fact, it is against the law for any person to enter privately owned land to take any wildlife by hunting, fishing or trapping without first obtaining permission from the landowner. A violation of this law could result in the loss of hunting, fishing, and trapping privileges for up to three years. Trespass violations are costly, not only in terms of money and time, but also in terms of future opportunity. Many landowners, frustrated with trespassing hunters have permanently closed their property to hunting by anyone. So this fall, be responsible and respect private property owners by always asking them for permission. Responsibility, of course, is an important attribute of good hunting. But each year Fish and Game is confronted with landowner complaints related to hunters who exhibit irresponsible behavior when hunting near or within private lands. “Many times the complaint centers on littering, trespassing, making tire ruts in muddy fields, shooting from a motor vehicle or shooting too close to livestock,” landowner-sportsmen coordinator Dave Beaver said. “Whatever the complaint, most circumstances boil down to a lack of common sense and lack of respect.” With several upland game bird seasons already in progress and the general deer hunting season starting October 10, it is especially important that hunters act responsibly. Hunters can help eliminate the negative label of “slobs” that sometimes gets tacked on some hunters, by making it a priority to respect the rights of landowners. Landowner permission should be obtained each hunting season. A common mistake is to assume that because permission was given last year, the same applies this year. Hunters and landowners should both clearly understand what “permission” is being given. For example, is permission being given for a single day and only to hunt deer, or is it for the season to hunt deer, elk and upland game birds? Always know before you go. Additionally, by asking permission every time one hunts, hunters can adhere to the landowner’s wishes. Many times this involves keeping safe distances from livestock and buildings, closing gates, keeping vehicles off muddy roads and knowing where and where not to hunt. must have a federal migratory bird stamp. Nontoxic shot is required to hunt waterfowl. Events at the Nature Center CSI: Wildlife, Solving Wildlife Crimes Join the staff at the Morrison Knudsen Nature Center from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, September 23, for an opportunity to conduct a Wildlife Crime Scene Investigation. Put on your Idaho Department of Fish and Game conservation officer’s badge and pick out pieces of evidence at the crime scene. You will even be able to put on your lab coat to analyze the evidence. Learn how to solve a wildlife case. The event is open to fifth through eighth graders and costs $15 to cover the cost of supplies. Call 334-2225 to register in advance; space is limited. When the hunt is completed, make sure to thank the landowner for allowing access and report any damage to fences or gates that you find. Often times, hunters will send a thank you card later or offer to do something for the landowner, such as helping with chores. Domestic elk tested for disease, genetics Never forget that you are a guest on the owner’s property and hunting or fishing on these lands is a privilege, not a right.

An estimated 75 to 160 domestic elk escaped from Rex Rammel’s operation near Ashton. Teams of officials from Idaho departments of Fish and Game and Agriculture shot about 15 of the animals before enlisting the aid of hunters in a series of emergency depredation hunts that began September 19. Hunters participating in the depredation hunt area are encouraged to provide samples to Fish and Game officers in the field, Billy Joe’s Taxidermy in Tetonia or the Fish and Game office in Idaho Falls. Hunters will be notified directly if tests show disease in their animals. State officials will continue to sample domestic and wild elk shot in the depredation hunt area. Officials are using the same sampling protocol on the killed domestic elk that would be used for wild elk. Initial results of tests for disease and genetic red deer hybridization are expected over the next two weeks. The department of Agriculture supplied the most current inventory of Rammel’s herd with which to compare the identification of animals that were killed. The objectives of the sampling are to: Verify identification. Test for diseases. Continued on next page THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2006 Idaho Fish and Game News Test for genetic purity. Evaluate carcass quality for donation to local charities. The sample collection involved seven shooting teams and two carcass salvage teams.

ITD provides law enforcement overtime help with DUI campaign BOISE - Many Idaho law enforcement agencies took advantage of overtime help from the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) and increased patrols to arrest impaired drivers in August and over the Labor Day weekend, according to Kevin Bechen with ITD’s Office of Highway Safety. In Idaho, driving with a blood alcohol content of .08 or higher is illegal -- .02 for drivers younger than 21. Violators face jail time, substantial fines, loss of driving privileges and higher insurance rates. The discovery of six partially butchered pronghorn antelope carcasses has prompted the Idaho Department of Fish and Game to seek public assistance s asking the public for information to bring the poacher to justice. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2006 Washington, DC – Rural residents of southwestern Idaho will receive continued support in the effort to stop domestic violence. Today, Idaho Senator Mike Crapo applauded a U.S. Department of Justice grant of $707,368 “Because of federal funding through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, ITD can work with Idaho law enforcement agencies to help reduce drunk driving crashes and needless injuries and fatalities,” Bechen said. “We provide money to help with overtime and alcohol sensing equipment for DUI patrols.” Public’s Help Sought in Antelope Wasting Case Only portions of meat from each carcass had been removed, making this a game meat “wanton waste” offense. “The heads of both bucks had been removed, and black vinyl tape was discovered wrapped around the left ear of each of the remaining four antelope,” Brazie noted. Additional evidence is currently being Hope’s Door in Caldwell receives $707, 368 in federal funding With a little more than half of the 27 participating law enforcement agencies reporting in, the campaign has led to 110 DUI arrests for the five-week period, Bechen said. He added that 86 law enforcement officers worked 1,620 overtime hours as part of the effort. Any parasites found will be collected and identified as needed. A call to the Citizens against Poaching (CAP) hotline led conservation officer Rob Brazie to the antelope carcasses at the summit of Horseshoe Bend Hill on State Highway 55. The two bucks, three does and one fawn antelope were dumped in a pile a short distance from the roadway.

Crapo has spearheaded efforts to retain Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) funding for such projects, and has worked closely with Advocates Against Family Violence, Incorporated of Caldwell on programs and funding efforts. Advocates Against Family Violence, Incorporated operates the Hope’s Door shelter, which will receive the funding. “The Hope’s Door Shelter is critical because it is the sole support system for women and children seeking refuge from violence in and around Canyon County,” Crapo said. “This program strengthens the safety of those victims and enhances collaborative partnerships between criminal justice agencies, victim services providers and community organizations to respond to crimes of domestic and dating violence and child abuse.” ISSUE 140 “We are absolutely thrilled to be a recipient NEW PLYMOUTHNEWS 11 Political News Releases of this grant. We look forward to bridging gaps in services for victims of domestic violence in all counties in Region III, particularly Owyhee County where there are currently no victim services available,” said Brenda Cameron, Director of Hope’s Door. “With the funding from this grant, we will be able to collaborate with law enforcement, judicial services, and other agencies to provide much-needed victim services. We are grateful for the support of Senator Crapo and his office as we respond to crimes of domestic violence and provide victim services in Idaho.” Hope’s Door and the Advocates Against Family Violence, Inc. employees will use the funding to unify family services through early identification and intervention to stop violence, collaborate with law enforcement to enhance investigation and prosecution in abuse cases, increase safety and counseling efforts, disseminate information in English and Spanish, and seek to increase prosecution of offenders.

CRAPO JOINS CANCER ACTIVISTS ON NATIONAL MALL Pledges continued support for cancer research Washington, DC – Today Idaho Senator Mike Crapo joined with other Idaho cancer survivors on the National Mall as part of the “Celebration on the Hill,” an annual event sponsored by the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network. Crapo met with cancer activists from Blackfoot, Boise, Burley, Coeur d’Alene, Eagle, Heyburn, Homedale, Idaho Falls, Mountain Home, Pocatello, Post Falls, Shoshone, Silverton and Twin Falls to discuss federal funding for cancer research and congressional priorities. “As a two-time cancer survivor, I share a very personal connection with you,” Crapo told the group assembled in a tent near the Reflecting Pool on the National Mall. “It is important that we work together to actively defeat cancer and promote cancer awareness and education. Cancer touches so many lives in our country, killing 1,500 people every day, striking one of two men and one out of three women. But with the investments we have made in research, prevention, and early detection and care, people are living with cancer and beating this disease rather than dying from it. I will continue to actively work to educate my fellow Senators and to push for policies and funding that will allow us to continue to make progress against this disease.” Crapo has signed the Congressional Cancer svPromise, which sets out a four-pronged agenda to make health system reform a priority, elevate prevention and early detection efforts, increase research commitments and expand access to care. Crapo, who has survived two bouts with prostate cancer, is a recognized advocate for cancer prevention and hosts yearly health awareness booths at regional fairs in Idaho. AFTER THE FIRE Guest opinion submitted by Idaho Senator Mike Crapo In early August, I toured active fire sites in Idaho. Even then, before increased fire activity late in the month, it was easy to predict what September would look like: the fires multiplied and are still burning today. These disasters reinforce the fact that responsible forest management must happen before and after the fires. Idaho and the West are experiencing the worst fire season on record. Idaho’s rainfall is at a record low. As of September 19, more than 82,000 wildfires have consumed more than 8.8 million acres nationwide this year alone; Idaho ranks third this year in number of acres burned. We all know the tragic outcome of unplanned wildland fire: destroyed property, degraded air quality, fish and wildlife habitat damage and safety threats to lives and communities. Fire plays a valuable role in our ecosystem; however, in many cases we aren’t talking about normal, healthy, ecosystems. Fires resulting from unnatural fuel loads do tremendous damage to our forests. With the current state of our forests, this happens all too often. reduction is lengthy and oftenstymied by lawsuits. While the critical work of HFRA is implemented, additional storms, fires and other natural events are contributing to the backlog of more than one million acres of national forests in need of reforestation. We have a situation that applies not just to fires, but to the aftermath of other catastrophic natural disasters, such as the tornado that tore through Idaho’s Payette National Forest in June ruining nearly 5,000 acres of public and private forested land. Catastrophic destruction can happen slowly as well: insect infestation is all too evident in the tell-tale dead and dying timber peppering our forests. The forested acres affected by these events will remain in danger even after the flames are extinguished. On August 2, I held a hearing on the Forest Emergency Recovery and Research Act of 2006 (FERRA). Federal officials, local and state leaders, scientists, foresters, the environmental community and private interest groups testified at the hearing, and I’m convinced that the tools in FERRA are needed to address this crisis in our woods. FERRA looks toward restoration by providing federal land managers with tools to respond immediately following forest disaster, limiting the negative effects on neighboring communities. This forward planning means disaster recovery plans that contain pre-approved management practices. Additionally, FERRA requires forest health partnerships with colleges and universities when establishing post-catastrophe research projects and requires development of independent, third-party peerreviewed research protocols. FERRA recognizes that without responsible and responsive recovery efforts in the immediate aftermath of disaster, a forest becomes more susceptible to additional fire and pest outbreaks that threaten families and wildlife that live in and around our natural resources. As we work to rebuild after the worst forest fire season in years, we need to take stock of what is working and what isn’t. We must continue to implement the good work that HFRA directs, and we must complete the cycle of responsible forest management with effective post-disaster recovery that reduces the risk of devastation in the future. This recovery must begin when the last flame dies out, not a moment In 2004, Congress enacted the Healthy Forests Restoration Act (HFRA) to improve forest management. HFRA provides federal land managers with tools necessary to focus forest health improvements on sensitive rural-urban interface areas, near municipal water sources, in threatened and endangered species habitat, and where disease or insect nfestations threaten adjacent private lands. Progress is being made to limit risk on federal lands. Unfortunately, the process of treating forests for fuels 12 NEW PLYMOUTH NEWS ISSUE 140 later.

The numbers released by the U.S. Department of Labor show Idaho with a 4.4% increase for the year, trailing only Nevada (5.3%) and Arizona (4.6%). “The Mountain West, and Idaho in particular, remains the strongest area of job growth in the nation,” noted Idaho Senator Mike Crapo. “Our continued economic growth shows the tax relief and our nation’s monetary policy are working. Interest rates have held steady and we are working to maintain this pro-growth tax policy and to prevent any tax increases that would lead to a slowing of the economy.” The Labor Department report offers an August-to-August look at the national economy and job creation. Idaho’s unemployment rate of 3.3% continues to rank well-below the national average of 4.7%. Idaho’s rate is down nearly half a percentage point in the last year, from 3.7% to 3.3%. “We are finally seeing the expected seasonal decrease in gasoline prices and the Federal Reserve is holding the line on interest rates for consumers. In the past 12 months, 1.7 million jobs have been created nationwide. While some of our rural areas continue to experience difficulties, I am hopeful this upswing in job creation will continue to spread across Idaho and America,” Crapo concluded.

Washington, DC – The Idaho Congressional Delegation is pleased to host the Sixth Annual Service Academy Day in Idaho on October 7th. Events will be held simultaneously in Boise and Coeur d’Alene. The purpose of these gatherings is to share information with students, parents, and counselors about the Congressional nomination process for the United States Military Academy at West Point, NY; the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD; the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, NY. While a Congressional nomination is not needed to attend the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, representatives have been invited to share information about this school as well. This year forums are being held in Coeur d’Alene and Boise. Participants can meet with Academy Liaisons, Cadets, and Midshipmen and hear about each academy and learn how to apply for a Congressional Nomination.

J. Soltis Southwest Health & District Consumer Protection Programs Every refrigerator has it, whether it is the opened bottle of spaghetti sauce or the half-eaten package of deli meat. . . it’s the mystery food. Mystery food is that item you can’t remember when it was opened or when you last used it. Many of us just shut the door to worry about it later or grow lab experiments that may be harmful to our health. Here are some guidelines to take the mystery out of your cold food storage. First and Foremost--Chill! Make sure the temperature in your refrigerator is 40 °F or below and 0 °F or below in the freezer. Use a refrigerator/freezer thermometer to check if your appliance maintains the proper storing temperature. Harmful bacteria grow most rapidly in unsafe temperatures between 40 and 140 °F— so it’s important to keep food out of this temperature range. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommends the following cold food storage time frames to reduce your risk of a food-related illness. Additional refrigeration holding information can be found at www. foodsafety.gov/~fsg/f01chart.html. Product Refrigeration Fresh in shell eggs 3-5 weeks Hard-cooked 1 week Egg/Tuna/Chicken/macaroni salads 3-5 days Ground Beef, Turkey, veal, pork, lamb 1-2 days Ham, fully cooked –slices 3-5 days Hot Dogs (Unopened) 2 weeks/(opened) 1 week Luncheon Meats (Unopened Packages) 2 wks/(opened) 3-5 days Bacon 7 days Product Leftovers 3-4 days Steaks, Chops, Roasts 3-5 days Whole Chickens/Turkeys 1-2 days Fresh Fish and Shellfish 1-2 days You should also regularly clean out your refrigerator to help combat the mystery food issue. A good time to do this is before grocery shopping. Start by throwing out the perishable food items that should not be eaten. When possible try using the First In First Out, or FIFO, method of storage. When in doubt, throw it out! In addition, always review the dates that are marked on most food containers purchased from the grocery store. But what do the phrases of “use by” or “sell by” mean? • “Sell-By” is the date that informs the store how long to display the product for sale. You should purchase the product before the date expires • “Best if Used By” or “Use-By” is the date recommended for best flavor or quality and is not a purchase or safety date. This date is determined by the manufacturer, and does not tell how long the food will be good. • “Expiration Date” is the last date that food should be eaten, except for eggs; this is the last day the eggs may be sold at the store. Here are some additional tips to help keep your food safe. • Do not buy food past the “SellBy,” “Use-By,” or other expiration dates • When shopping, purchase refrigerated or frozen items after selecting non-perishables (shelf stable foods) so they are the last thing you purchase before leaving the store. • Refrigerate or freeze perishables, prepared food, and leftovers within 2 hours of purchase or preparation or within 1 hour if the temperature is above 90 °F. • Thaw food in the refrigerator. For quick thawing, submerge in cold water in airtight packaging, or thaw in the microwave, and cook the food immediately. • Do not open your refrigerator or freezer door more than necessary to 18 NEW PLYMOUTH NEWS Health Tips keep the temperatures at proper storing temperatures. Keep perishable foods on shelves in the refrigerator, rather than on the door, since the temperature on the door fluctuates more. • Do not overstuff your refrigerator. Cold air must circulate around food to keep it at proper temperatures. By following these guidelines, you can Be Cool to eliminate the mystery food in your refrigerator; reduce wasting food and money; and reduce the risk of food borne illness to you and your family. Cardiac Mortality in Women Jim Callis, MPAS, PA-C What do we think of, when it comes to women, that causes the most deaths? If you listen to a lot of medical providers and all the concern for this screening and that screening, one would gather that cancer had the highest mortality in females. This is in fact not true. The number one killer of women in the United States is from cardiac-related disease. The highest risk group is in women between the ages of 45 and 89. For women between the ages of 45-64, one in nine will experience a cardiac event. For women over 65, this ratio rises to an astounding one in three! Not only do women have a higher mortality from a heart attack than men, but they also are less likely to recover from an event. Some studies have shown that women may present to the clinic with different signs and symptoms than what are typically thought of as heart attacks. Men will show up with chest pain, shortness of breath, pain radiating up neck, down left arm, their heart will be racing and they will be nauseated, all pale and sweaty. Women can show up with these symptoms too, and it is much straighter forward. Some may only have weakness, fatigue, nausea and shortness of breath. Because of this they may wait too long because of the vagueness of symptoms or the medical provider might not consider it in their differential of potential causes. This is also confirmed by the fact that many women typically ISSUE 140 receive less screening for cardiac events previous to their first event. One study has also suggested that is due to “overreferral” of men with lower risk profile. Risk factors for Cardiac events include family history, obesity, inactivity, smoking, alcohol consumption, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, stress level, coping mechanisms and hormonal status. A heart attack–or as we call it, a myocardial infarction–is the loss of blood flow to parts of the heart. Loss of blood flow to certain parts of the heart can be less life threatening, depending on how much flow is lost. Loss of blood flow to heart muscle naturally causes tissue death. This tissue death can cause dysfunction of the heart to pump out oxygenated blood to the body. If it is a small area, or perhaps an area that does not include the most important sections of muscle, then a person may survive the heart attack. If signs and symptoms are not ignored, and are treated properly, than a person may be able to survive as well. Like usual, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of recovery. Heart attacks can be very painful and scary experiences. Some people think of diet, exercise and other forms of prevention to be just as scary, but at least those things may not kill you. One never knows when we are to go, but it certainly does not help to hurry it along by having a lifestyle that speeds it along! It is true that sometimes perfectly healthy and in shape people die young no matter how much preventative maintenance is done. I’d rather not leave it to chance and at least try to be healthier, and I hope you do too. Please call your medical provider if you have any questions concerning cardiac mortality and how you can reduce your risks.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2006 Announcement N.P. Festival of Trees Editor’s Post It More help needed We had our first Festival of Trees meeting last week vand both of us showed up. Yes, there were only two of us. Where were you?? I’m sure you just forgot! I know how much this wonderful community means to you and how important our Senior Center is to our little town. (Does this sound like a guilt trip?) I know my helpers are out there!!! Call me - Pam Topham 278-3296 Next meeting will be Monday, October 9, 2006 at 3pm at the Senior Center Look forward to seeing you there. Or call and let me know what you can help with. Recycling Reminder Because of the huge success of people re-cycling the newspaper we would like to urge everyone to bring the newspapers now strictly to VFHC, located across from the Library. The Post office is nolonger willing to support our community in this task because it is not using the facility as it is intended. I am told “we are not a re-cycling center”. We regret that they are nolonger willing to help in our community, but we will drive on in making our community a better place despite this small setback. Thank you everyone for your continued support and keep those papers comming .in! New Plymouth Children’s Choir Rehearsals begin September 6th 6:00-6:45 p.m. in the High School Choir Room.
