Greetings from the Payette County
Sheriffs Office
By Sheriff Chad Huff
It’s that time of year again when the leaves start turning
brown, the weather begins to cool and kids are returning
to school. For the parents, it can be a time mixed with
different emotions. I know for me, it’s my favorite time
of the year. I usually come home to a house that is less
cluttered, football and hunting season begins and the
weather is cool enough to work around the house.
As for the Sheriffs Office, certainly one of our main
concerns is the safety of the children returning to
school. I would ask the motoring public to slow down
around the school areas and be extra cautious during
times when children may be out of school. These times
are generally between 7:30 to 8:30 in the morning and
from 11:30 to 12:30 during the lunch hour and 2:45 to
3:30 in the afternoon.
In other news, we have just installed new dispatching
consoles in the Payette County 911 Center. Our old
consoles have been around since the mid 1980’s and we
were at the point we could not purchase replacement
parts for the old consoles. The new consoles are
completely computerized and utilize a 19” monitor
which displays all the radio frequencies the Payette

County 911 Center utilizes. It is as simple as using the
mouse to select a frequency, pushing either a foot pedal
or a button near the microphone and transmit your
information. The new consoles also have the capability
to “patch” which is transferring a telephone call to a
radio frequency. The consoles also have the capability
of paging the fire departments, and paramedics. They
can patch between UHF and VHF channels, just to
name a few of the new features. This system is set
up for Computerized Assisted Dispatching (CAD).
This system will allow dispatchers to keep track of
all radio traffic, calls, etc. by typing the data directly
into the system. The need for daily logs, currently
used by officers on patrol, will be removed allowing
officers to spend less time collecting this information.
This new system also has the capability for Mobile
Data Terminals. Eventually, each patrol car will have
a lap-top computer installed and officers can check
driver’s licenses, warrants, and other criminal history
information directly from their patrol car computer.
Dispatchers can patch calls directly to the MDT’s
without having to transmit over the radio.
We are in the very basic stages of the new dispatching
consoles. Many of the functions I mentioned have to be
purchased separately and when funds are available, we
will begin to make these additions.
Speaking of funding, I would like to share with you
some information about where the funding comes from
to purchase equipment for the 911 Center. In 1988,
the Idaho State Legislature recognized that providing
consolidated emergency communication systems was
vital in enhancing the public health, safety and welfare
of the residents of the state. Therefore, the legislature
enacted the Emergency Communications Act which
allows for funding, separate from property taxes we all
have to pay. This budget is funded by a fee imposed
on both telephone lines and wireless communication
systems. Payette County also supplements this budget
by renting tower space to cell phone companies and
other emergency service agencies, etc. This budget
grows annually and eventually, there are enough funds
to purchase some of the very expensive equipment we
must have to operate.
We are excited about the upgrades to our 911 Center
and our commitment to providing the best service we
can to the citizens of our county. As always, if you have
any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact my
office. We are here for you!

Idaho 55 Labor Day travelers
encouraged to avoid traffic
congestion
BOISE - Recreationists who use Idaho 55 during the
Labor Day weekend can avoid heavy traffic by traveling
outside peak travel times or using an alternate route, the
Idaho Transportation Department announced.
The transportation department’s holiday traffic control
project will assist motorists at the intersection of Idaho
55 and Banks to Lowman Road on Monday, Sept.
4, starting at about 11 a.m. Flaggers have assisted
motorists at this intersection on summer holidays since
1995.
Congestion is heaviest in this area, as recreationists
traveling from the Garden Valley area access Idaho 55.
Motorists also should be aware of construction work on
Idaho 55 at Rainbow Bridge near Smiths Ferry. Work to
rehabilitate the historic and often-photographed bridge
started May 15.
During the Labor Day weekend, both lanes will be open
to traffic from Friday at noon through Tuesday at noon.
Motorists traveling outside these times should expect
delays of up to 15 minutes.
Construction crews will take precautions to avoid
impacts to rafters and kayakers on the North Fork of the
Payette River.
The transportation department offers the following tips
for holiday weekend travelers:
* Congestion is heaviest on the last evening of the
holiday weekend, from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Consider
returning from your trip before or after this time to
avoid the rush.
* Consider using an alternate route. To use U.S. 95,
travel north on Idaho 55 from McCall, take U.S. 95
south and use Interstate 84 to return to the Treasure
Valley. This route may take less time than using Idaho
55 on a congested day. Recreationists leaving the
Garden Valley area may want to use Idaho 21 to return
to the Treasure Valley.
* If you choose to use Idaho 55 when congestion is
heaviest, be patient and plan an extra hour or two for
your return trip.

Along with the Payette Valley Sentinel
office, there were many other fascinating
places in New Plymouth back in the ‘30s
and ‘40s when I was growing up. One
of the other places which I first became
aware of was the shoe store/post office
which was located down Plymouth Ave
by Conrad’s Drug Store. It was run by
a Mr. Hamilton. (In those days we were
not allowed to refer to older people by
anything but their last names and to this

His store was wonderful. Not only did
we buy our yearly shoes there, but it was
a joy to do so. Mr. H. had a ladder that
hooked onto the top rail over a wall of
shoes. He’d climb up to the proper level
and push off so that the ladder moved
swiftly around the walls until he came
to the desired she box, stopped the
ladder with his toe, grabbed the box and
descended. Every kid in town yearned to
ride that ladder. I don’t know of one that
ever did!
Besides the shoe store, the post office on
the other side of the store was also run by
Mr. Hamilton. It was equally fascinating
because there was a waste basket near
the desk where people opened their
letters and threw the envelopes in the
trash. While waiting for our folks to get
other kids shod or buy stamps at the PO
window across from the shoe side, we
would raid the waste basket. However,
there was seldom anything but a 3-cent
cancelled stamp or a 1-cent postcard to
find in those days. You were in great luck
if someone had received a letter with a
foreign stamp on it.
Imagine, a 3-cent stamp. Those were the
days!

Fall is here! School is starting!
It may be premature to say fall is here. A few days break from the extreme heat sure
make it feel that way though. With school starting, please slow down as you drive
down Plymouth Avenue, the Boulevards, and the other streets within the City. In
many places we don’t have adequate sidewalks to handle all the students so they
are often walking on the sides of the roads. The City Council is working on getting
more sidewalks available to the students and is exploring the opportunity of putting
a walking path through the Boulevards.

wells. Send one of the kids over to fish them out.” I knew those window wells were at
least two feet deep. Grandpa couldn’t possibly reach down that far. I’d have to put one
of the children down there to lift them out. Sispy was obviously done with the mothering bit.
I guess you know by now that my marriage was disintegrating and the pieces were
falling around my feet. Before I go into any more of that period of my life I’m reminded of a couple of special dogs we had at the farm. Yes, I’ve always been partial to
dogs and, although I think cats are often downright elegant looking, I just never took
a shine to one.
We lived on a lonely stretch of county highway and various dogs and cats were
dropped off regularly near our long driveway by inconsiderate owners. The cats gravitated to the other barn where Grandpa Trevor would give them all a panful of Holstein
milk before he put the Angus calves to nurse. We ignored the dogs and they sort of
wandered off and found other homes.
One dog in particular was not a stray. It was one the farm sort of got stuck with.
Her name was Sispy. She arrived one lovely day, accompanied by Dr. Fisher, an East
Liverpool pediatrician. She was a beautiful purebred Airedale. Perfect lines. Lovely to
look at - snappy and irritable. Just wanted to be left alone to go her regal way. I didn’t
want her around my children. Some money changed hands and Short’s Dad agreed to
keep her in the barn on the other farm since she was already snapping at little Fide
who was old Tommy’s pride and joy. “Let’s see her throw her weight around with one
of the Aberdeen Angus bulls.” Fide was Grandpa Trevor’s lap dog.
It wasn’t long until I spotted that dog one day strolling up one of the back roads on
the farm - followed by a motley looking pack of mutts. Not a pedigree in the bunch.
Oh, well, she wasn’t our dog so I really didn’t care what happened to her. I should
have cared. That nose-in-the-air female birthed 12 puppies in one litter. I was designated to dispose of the pups.
Easier said than done! A newspaper ad did nothing to relieve me of even one. An
Airedale mix wasn’t even nibbled at when I had no idea who the sire was. Each of my
nearest neighbors already had a farm dog. Even tried to pawn them off on a lady who
kept strays until they were either adopted or the pound took them to euthanize. She
did take six of them. In the meantime, Sispy, lousy mother than she was, had completed her weaning of them and would saunter up the highway with a couple of them
following behind.
A neighbor would call to say, “Mrs. Trevor, I already told you I don’t want a pup. That
Airedale led two of them up to my back porch and then ran off and left them. Come
and get them!”
Grandpa Trevor promised me he would get rid of the mother dog. He was livid that
day, “She just dropped two of those little fellows down one of the basement window
Sispy disappeared and I didn’t ask and nobody offered any explanation.
Another morning Short returned for breakfast. He’d fed the cows in our barn and
cautioned the children to stay away from the hay stack in the drive-in loft. A blue tick
hound was up there and had obviously been run over. He didn’t want either of the kids
messing around and maybe getting bit. Thought the hound would probably die of his
terrible wounds.
Later that morning I realized Tommy wasn’t in the house. Ardy admitted he’d taken
some water up to the poor dog. I hurried to the barn and found him, sitting on a
pile of hay, holding the head of that beat up hound. The entire hip area was raw and
looked incredibly painful. Tommy was talking softly to it and pouring love in his voice
and touch. The dog looked at him with grateful eyes. What could I say? He had a
compassionate friend in Tommy, one who loved dogs from day one.
That dog turned into a first-rate animal. In the early mornings we would hear him
baying up on the hillside as he chased rabbits. His bed was a bushel basket on the
back porch suitably padded with an old cushion. He would come back sopping wet
from dew he’d picked up running in the tall grass. A few weeks later a skinny, wearylooking black female appeared on our doorstep one morning. We fed her and she took
up residence under our lilac bush.
It wasn’t long before we knew she was going to produce pups. The morning of the
event she came up on the porch, stared the blue tick in the eye and he, obviously the
father, hopped out of the basket and took up his bed under the lilac bush. She entered
the bushel basket and before breakfast was over had begun birthing her babies. He allowed her to remain there as long as she was nursing; the minute she began to wean
them, he came onto the porch, stared her right in the eye and she, dutiful wife that
she was, left her comfy bed and returned to the hay bed we’d made for her under the
lilac bush.
Incidentally, for those in New Plymouth who know of our 11 year old Dachshund, he went
to “doggie heaven” a couple of weeks ago. We’re now hoping to get another soon. Paul is
lost without “Junior.” Will this one be a “Junior2” or a “Junioretta?”
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...

NEW PLYMOUTH NEWS Southwest Idaho Highway Construction Report for Aug. 27-Sept. 4
BOISE - Highway construction will be suspended
during the Labor Day holiday on most projects that
impact traffic. Flaggers will assist motorists at the
intersection of Idaho 55 and the Banks to Lowman
Road on Labor Day.
ADA COUNTY
U.S. 20/26 (Chinden Boulevard), Hewlett-Packard main
entrance to Joplin
Idaho Sand & Gravel is building this $6.9 million
project to widen Chinden from two to four lanes
between Hewlett-Packard and Joplin Road. During
construction, the center turn lane is eliminated and
traffic limited to one lane in each direction. Left turns
from westbound Chinden Boulevard onto Five Mile
Road are not permitted at the intersection’s traffic
signal. The east end of Joplin is closed until late fall,
but access will be maintained to all area businesses
and residences. Work on this project is expected to
be complete this winter. This is the second phase of
a project to widen Chinden Boulevard to five lanes
from Eagle Road through Garden City. The final
section, between Hewlett-Packard’s main entrance and
Cloverdale Road, is scheduled for construction in 2007.
I-184, Curtis Road overpass
During this four-month project to rehabilitate the Curtis
Road overpass bridge, Curtis Road is reduced to one
lane in each direction in the interchange area. Left turns
from the Curtis bridge onto the connector (I-184) are
not allowed. Connector off-ramps to Curtis Road are
closed to trucks. Other vehicles may use the ramps,
but motorists should expect delays. The connector will
have intermittent lane restrictions during non-peak
travel times. All inbound lanes will remain open during
the morning commute. All outbound lanes will remain
open during the afternoon commute. Record Steel and
Construction Inc. of Meridian is the contractor on this
$862,000 project.
Blacks Creek Rest Area
is reduced to one lane in each direction near the
intersection with Karcher Road. Karcher Road is
closed east of Nampa-Caldwell Boulevard to Midland
Boulevard, and Midland Boulevard is closed from
Karcher Road to the Karcher Connector. The Karcher
Connector opened on Tuesday.
Idaho 55, Marsing to Sunnyslope Curve
The road will be widened to five lanes with guardrail,
irrigation, drainage facilites and a new canal bridge
added in this three-mile section of Idaho 55. Motorists
will be assisted through the work zone by traffic control
devices and flaggers. The speed limit is reduced to
45 mph in the work zone. Idaho Sand & Gravel is the
contractor for this $6.1 million project that will be
finished in spring 2007.
ELMORE COUNTY
8th Street North widening, Mountain Home
This project will reconstruct and widen a .42-mile
section of 8th Street North in Mountain Home. Between
the canal and American Legion, 8th Street North is
closed except for local traffic. To avoid the construction
area, motorists should enter North 18th East Street from
American Legion Boulevard to access the west side of
the project. The work is expected to be completed in the
fall.
VALLEY COUNTY
Idaho 55, Rainbow Bridge
One lane will be closed during rehabilitation of the
historic and often-photographed Rainbow Bridge
over the Payette River north of Smiths Ferry. Mowat
Construction Co. will make improvements to the arch
piers, floor beams, deck joints and columns of the
bridge in this $2.9 million project this fall. The bridge
rail replacement will proceed next spring. Lane closures
on the bridge will not occur on weekends, holidays
or when scheduled community events will result in a
considerable increase in traffic.
Western Construction is the contractor on a $10.2
million project to rebuild this Interstate 84 rest area,
located about 10 miles east of Boise. When finished,
the site will include new bathrooms, a picnic area with
tables and seating and new landscaping. Traffic will be
reduced to one lane in either direction on I-84 in the
work zone as needed. The rest area will remain closed
until the project is finished in winter 2006/2007.

Central Paving Inc. is building this new I-84
Interchange in Nampa that is expected to open for
traffic this winter. Nampa-Caldwell Boulevard
About five miles of pavement are being rehabilitated
south of Cascade. The speed limit is reduced to 35
mph through the construction zone with traffic reduced
to one lane and managed by flaggers and a pilot car
as needed. Motorists should expect delays of 15-30
minutes. The project is expected to be completed by
October.

Ten Mile Interchange public meeting Aug.
31; joint meeting with City of Meridian on
their Ten Mile Specific Area Plan
BOISE - The first public meeting for the Ten Mile
Interchange Project is Thursday (Aug. 31), and will be
a joint meeting with the City of Meridian, the Idaho
Transportation Department announced.
The meeting is from 4 p.m. - 8 p.m. at the Central
Valley Baptist Church, 600 N. Ten Mile Road (between
Cherry Lane and Franklin Road), in Meridian.
Short overview presentations will be given on the
hour and displays showing typical interchange designs
and improvements to surrounding roadways will be
available for review and comment. City of Meridian
staff will explain their Ten Mile Specific Area Plan.
The Ten Mile Interchange Project, part of Connecting
Idaho, will provide a new access to Interstate 84 in
western Ada County. Construction could begin in late
2008 or early 2009. When constructed, the interchange
will relieve congestion at the existing I-84 interchanges
at Eagle and Meridian roads.
Connecting Idaho provides funding to make Idahos
highways safer and more efficient for people and
commerce. Passed by the Idaho Legislature in April
2006, the legislation authorizes the sale of $200 million
in Grant Anticipation Revenue Vehicle (GARVEE)
bonds for the first year of Connecting Idaho.
Funds have been approved to complete the
environmental analysis and design of the Ten Mile
Interchange. Funding for land purchase and construction
will have to be approved by future legislatures.

Bisphosphonates and Jaw
Bone Damage
Jim Callis, MPAS, PA-C
In the last year I wrote an article about
osteoporosis. As a quick reminder, osteoporosis
is the condition which can result in brittle bones
and fractures. This can be a very dangerous
condition. Individuals with hip fractures usually
have a higher mortality rate within 6 months of
the fracture compared to other healthy adults.
Because of this and decreased motility, pain and
loss of lifestyle, it is very important for us to treat
this condition.
Risks for developing Osteoporosis include: age,
steroid use, estrogen deficiency, smoking history,
low calcium intake, low body weight, low
physical activity, family history and race.
One of the more common treatments for
osteoporosis, and one that I use almost
exclusively, is with a drug called Fosamax. It is
one of the 6 oral treatments for Osteoporosis.
There are also four IV treatments and one nasal
spray. These medications belong to a drug class
that we call bisphosphonates. Bisphosphonates
work by making bones stronger and less likely to
break. People who are on the IV bisphosphonates
are generally to prevent bone complications in
cancer treatments.
Bisphosphonates have been getting a lot of press
time lately as there are some lawyers advertising
to get potential plaintiffs to file a class action law
suits against Merck, the maker of Fosamax. Due
to the heightened awareness, I thought residents
of New Plymouth might like to know what the
big hub-bub concerning bisphosphonates was
about.
Bisphosphonates are a very safe drug class and
have been used by millions of people. The overall
advantage to taking a bisphosphonate is HUGE in
comparison to the risks. Like all medication, food
or supplement, there are potential side affects
and risks that we need to compare against risk. I
cannot make the decision for anyone; one must
weigh the risk verses benefit themselves.
The risk that has been getting a lot of press

Al Capone Does My Shirts by Gennifer Choldenko
A Book Review for Young Adults and Everyone Else
by Whitney Moses
You may be as surprised as I was to learn that many children lived on
Alcatraz Island during the twenty-nine years that it served as a penitentiary. Al
Capone Does My Shirts is one boy’s account of moving to
the island so his father can work as a prison guard and his
sister can attend a special school in San Francisco. Although
the story is fictional, many of the details about life on
Alcatraz were carefully researched by the author, Gennifer
Choldenko.
Choldenko includes some intriguing historical information
in the back of the book, so don’t skip the author’s notes. It
is fascinating to read about the real families that lived on
the island. She writes, “Between fifty and sixty families
resided on Alcatraz at any given time. Nine babies were born to mothers who lived
on the island and some children lived their entire childhood on Alcatraz…Today it
seems surprising that so many children lived on Alcatraz, but at the time Alcatraz
was thought to be a better place for the kids than the city…’All of our bad guys
are locked up’ is a refrain sounded again and again in the handwritten accounts of
island life.”
Choldenko uses this unusual location in 1935 as the setting for the coming-ofage story of Moose Flanagan. Moose’s problems begin to multiply quickly after

arriving on Alcatraz. Moose is twelve. His sister, Natalie, is ten. Her age has been ten
for the last six years. His mother started counting Natalie’s age this way, because it was
easier to have her younger than Moose. As Moose explains, “Then my mother could be
happy for each new thing I did, without it being another thing Natalie couldn’t do.”
Moose’s mother insists on pretending Natalie is still a child because of her
condition. In today’s terms, Natalie had autism. The family desperately hopes Natalie
will be accepted at the Esther P. Marinoff School, which had made great strides in
treating the disorder. But for the time being, much of the responsibility for her care falls
to Moose.
Complicating Moose’s life even more is Piper, the cute, manipulative daughter of the
warden. Piper is very clever at involving the other children in risky schemes and then
charming her way out of any negative consequences.
Moose is a character that inspires both admiration and pity. He is a good, caring,
responsible boy, but still just a boy. He should be a carefree kid, playing baseball with
his buddies. But Moose has had to learn quicker than most that life isn’t fair. And it
seems to be even less fair on Alcatraz.
Al Capone Does My Shirts is an unusual book, not only for its peculiar setting, but also
for its unsentimental but sympathetic approach to autism and the challenges of growing
up. Choldenko’s style is refreshing and her story is wonderfully compelling. I urge you
to check it out from the New Plymouth Library soon.
Biophosphonates, cont from p. 7
lately is something we medical geeks call Osteonecrosis of the Jaw bone, or ONJ. ONJ
is a rare condition that is the result of injury to the jaw bone that then dies. It can also
happen when bones do not heal properly after having dental procedures like having
teeth pulled. A patient with ONJ will experience considerable pain, swelling and loss of
teeth from the portion of dead bone.
As I stated earlier, ONJ is a rare condition. As of May 2006, of the millions of
individuals taking bisphosphonates, 368 cases of ONJ have occurred. Of these cases,
191 of them were associated with the oral medications. 94% of the ONJ is related to IV
treatment for cancer patients. Makes one wonder if the attorneys chasing after Merck
aren’t chewing on the wrong bone. If 94% of ONJ is caused by IV medications, why
are they chasing after Fosamax, an oral medication? Because Fosamax is the most used
of the oral medications, this one also had the most cases in oral ONJ. The risk of ONJ
with Fosamax use is calculated as being 0.7 in 100,000. That’s pretty low: here are some
other risks for you to compare to:
•
One in ten moderate smokers and one in five heavy smokers will die of lung
cancer. 90 percent of non-smokers have little to no breathing disorders at time of death.
•
4,000 of 100,000 car crashes a year are caused by drowsy drivers.
•
Americans have a 10% risk of losing hearing because we are an industrialized
country. It is not as associated with age as it is cumulative exposure to sound; the
biggest culprit is freeway noise.
•
One in 15 homes in America has a high level of Radon accumulation. This
exposure can increase the health risk to that of a person to one who smokes 135 packs of
cigarettes a day.
•
Despite the huge differential in risk, the fact is, there is still a risk. If you
happen to be one of the 369 individuals who develope ONJ, that “0.7 risk in 100,000”
wouldn’t mean much. But the risk of breaking a hip bone, for instance makes that pale
in comparison.
Most of the problems with bisphosphonates occurred after a dental extraction; yet
some occurred spontaneously. If you are concerned and are on a bisphosphonate, or
if your medical provider suggests that you start Fosamax or similar, here are some
suggested preventative measures that you can do: Start with a routine dental exam with
a panoramic x-ray. Avoid any elective oral surgeries once the bisphosphonate is started.
Get root canals rather than extraction. If you have poor teeth or are in the middle of
invasive oral procedures you may want to delay starting the medication. Keep your oral
dental hygiene as recommended by the American Dental Association and keep routine
examinations. Get your teeth routinely cleaned, paying closed attention to minimizing
soft tissue damage in the mouth. If you need an invasive dental procedure after starting
the medication, holding your medication off for a while will not make any difference.
The medication stays in bone for a very long time, over decades.
If one has risk factors for Osteoporosis, one should consider treatment. If you would
like to discuss this issue or any others, feel free to contact either Dr. Farrell or my self at
the Valley Family Health Care clinic across the street from the library in New Plymouth!

Idaho Fish & Game
Steelhead Season Set to Open
The steelhead fishing season opens September 1 in
Idaho, but this year, like the salmon runs earlier this
year, the steelhead may be running behind schedule.
Run timing data suggest that the 2006 run is slightly
later than in 2005. But it still is too early to accurately
assess the run size relative to the pre-season forecast or
the actual run observed in 2005.
As of August 20, about 156,000 summer steelhead
had been counted at Bonneville Dam on their way
upriver. The pre-season run forecast of 312,600 summer
steelhead at Bonneville Dam is nearly identical to the
actual run in 2005. The current count at Bonneville
Dam is about 15,000 fish less than was observed for the
same period in 2005.
This delay is likely to result in smaller than anticipated
early season counts over Lower Granite Dam and fewer
than anticipate steelhead caught in the early portion of
the fall fishing season. Idaho Department of Fish and
Game will continue to assess the size of the 2006 run
relative to the pre-season forecast. Current run timing
and run size suggest that changes in the season structure
or creel limits are unlikely.
The steelhead season opens September 1 on the Salmon
River, the Little Salmon River, and the Snake River
downstream from Hells Canyon Dam. Anglers may fish
for steelhead on the Clearwater River, but they may
not keep any fish upstream from the U.S. Highway 12
Memorial Bridge until October 15.
All anglers fishing for steelhead, even catch-andrelease, must have a valid 2006 fishing license and
steelhead permit. Statewide limits for steelhead are
three per day, nine in possession, and 20 for the season.
Limits on the Clearwater River system are two per day,
six in possession, and 20 for the fall season.
Anglers must use barbless hooks, and can keep only
hatchery steelhead marked with a clipped adipose
fin. All other steelhead must be released unharmed
immediately.
Open waters open for steelhead are:
•
Salmon River from its mouth upstream to
the posted boundary 100 yards downstream from the
Sawtooth Fish Hatchery weir, near the town of Stanley.
•
Little Salmon River from its mouth upstream
to the U.S. Highway 95 bridge near Smokey Boulder
Road.
•
Snake River from the Washington state line
at the confluence of the Snake and Clearwater rivers
upstream to Hells Canyon Dam.
Oregon or Washington: Anglers with a valid 2006 Idaho
fishing license and steelhead permit may fish where the
river forms the boundary between Idaho and Oregon
or Washington, but may not fish from the shoreline,
including wading, and may not fish in sloughs or
tributaries on the Oregon or Washington side. An
angler may have only the limit allowed by one license
regardless of the number of licenses the angler holds.
Consult 2006-2007 fishing rules brochure for
exceptions and special restrictions.

check the Fish and Game Website http://fishandgame.
idaho.gov.
Doe Seasons Closed in Some Units
With the archery season set to open August 30, the
Idaho Department of Fish and Game reminds hunters
that some units are closed to antlerless hunts.
In May, the Idaho Fish and Game commissioners closed
antlerless hunts, including youth and archery hunts,
in Units 33, 34 and 35. They also closed the youth
controlled hunt in unit 78 in southeast Idaho.
The hunting season changes could not be noted in the
hunting brochure, which already had been published,
but they are detailed on the department’s web site:
http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/.
The move was in response to lower than average fawn
survival over the winter.
An ongoing mule deer fawn mortality study, a part of
the Idaho Department of Fish and Game’s Mule Deer
Initiative, included 238 fawns in 10 southern Idaho
game management units. Two thirds of them had died
by May 15.
The worst hit was Unit 33 with 96 percent mortality.
Fawns fared the best in Unit 76 with 38 percent
mortality. The mortality rate for all 10 units was 68
percent. A total of 163 fawns died, most of them from
malnutrition. The second highest cause of death was
coyote predation.
The fawns entered the winter generally in good shape.
But the late spring gave little relief, and the lack of
available forage took its toll. These fawns are the
yearling bucks that make up a substantial part of annual
fall hunts.
The Commission cut or eliminated antlerless deer
hunting in these units:
•
Units 33, 34, and 35, including youth hunts
and archery hunt seasons.
•
Unit 78 was closed to antlerless harvest in
Controlled Hunt # 1067, which includes Units 56, 70,
73, 73A and 78. This will cut a youth hunt. No leftover
permits will be sold following the first drawing in this
hunt.
•
Controlled Hunt # 1058, Unit 67, will be cut
from 200 permits to 50. This is an antlerless hunt.
•
Controlled hunt permits will go from 200 to
100 in Hunt # 1061, Units 64 and 67. This is an eithersex hunt.
Antlered mule deer permits were reduced, from 149
permits to 74 permits, in Hunt # 1068 which includes
Units 33, 34 and 35.
Invasive Aquatic Species—Why Should We
Care?
By Jeff Dillon, Idaho Department of Fish and Game–
Southwest Region
Most Idahoans who spend time outdoors are familiar
with invasive, non-native and noxious weeds and how
they affect wildlife habitat.
But what about non-native aquatic invaders? Mostly
they are out of sight, out of mind. Undesirable aquatic
plants and animals, however, can have a dramatic effect
on your fishing and boating opportunities.
Most people have heard of cheatgrass, star thistle,
spotted knapweed, and rush skeletonweed and other
non-native and invasive plants in southern Idaho. These
invaders out–compete native plants, and can affect food
resources for deer, elk and other wildlife.
Idaho waters are no different. Think about these
examples:
•
Whirling disease is caused by a European
organism unintentionally imported to the U.S., and
in some cases it has affected western wild trout
populations.
Increased monitoring allows the department to follow
populations more closely and provides information
the Commission can use to take quick action when
conditions warrant.
•
New Zealand mudsnails are well established in
much of the Snake River, and a few years ago showed
up in Silver Creek. They are so prolific they can replace
native snails and crowd out aquatic insects, though
we don’t yet know what effect they’ll have on fish
populations.
Antlerless harvest of mule deer is regulated in Idaho
and occurs only when population levels will allow for
it. Though deer populations generally recover quickly,
partly because does commonly produce twin fawns,
biologists recommended eliminating some hunting.
•
Eurasian water milfoil, now common in
northern and southwest Idaho, is a non-native aquatic
plant that can quickly cover the entire surface of
smaller lakes and ponds, making fishing and boating
impossible.
•
Clearwater River: Mainstem and Middle Fork
Clearwater River from its mouth upstream to Clear
Creek.
•
North Fork Clearwater River from its mouth
upstream to Dworshak Dam.
•
South Fork Clearwater River from its mouth
upstream to the confluence of American and Red
Rivers.
Boundary Waters on the Snake River between Idaho and
Invasive aquatic species might also include undesirable
fish, crayfish, bullfrogs, nuisance plants, and even
other disease organisms. Illegal or unintentional fish
introductions commonly affect established fisheries and
are very expensive to control.
Illegal perch introductions in Lost Valley and Horsethief
reservoirs, for example, provide poor fishing for small
fish, and overabundant perch also compete with trout
and slow their growth. In this case the only real fix is
to treat the reservoirs with chemicals to kill all the fish,
and then start over. Such treatments can cost tens of
thousands of dollars or more.
Eurasian water milfoil is becoming more common,
especially in northern Idaho lakes and southwest Idaho
ponds. In the Southwest Region, the Caldwell Rotary,
Duff Lane, Horseshoe Bend, Sawyers, and Airport
Ponds were infested with milfoil and became pretty
much useless to fishermen.
Milfoil can spread easily, and new infestations can
come from one small stem transported on a duck’s foot,
boat trailer, or float tube. Within a few years, milfoil
can crowd out other aquatic plants and cover the entire
surface of smaller ponds.
Fish and Game has worked with local counties and
other entities to chemically control this nuisance weed.
The treatments seem to be effective, and fishing has
improved in these ponds. But it’s like mowing the
lawn. Officials expect milfoil to come back and require
treatment every two or three years. It’s a commitment
of time and money that wasn’t needed before milfoil
showed up.
So, what can you do to fight these aquatic invaders?
First and foremost, you can educate yourself and the
folks you fish and boat with. Learn to identify milfoil
and other invasive aquatic weeds. Make a practice of
thoroughly cleaning vegetation from your fishing gear,
boat, and trailer before moving from one body of water
to another.
Take extra precautions with waders and felt-soled boots
that can harbor whirling disease spores and mudsnails.
And never practice armchair fish management. While
it may seem a good idea to transport and stock fish into
your favorite pond or lake, it’s illegal to do so, and it
might do more harm than good.

can prevent their spread at www.protectyourwaters.net.

Southwest Region.
Super Hunt Second Drawing Winners
Announced
The second 2006 drawing for winners of Super Hunt
tags was held at Idaho Fish and Game headquarters in
Boise August 15.
Revenue from Super Hunt tickets goes to fund Access
Yes!, the Fish and Game program aimed at improving
hunter and angler access to and across private lands
in Idaho. For 2006, the program involves more than
600,000 acres of private land and nearly 700,000
acres of public lands where access would otherwise be
blocked by private property.
Below is the list of super hunt winners in the second
drawing:
Deer:
Rick Ruth–Idaho
Ross Roylance–Montana
Elk:
Lynn Seibold–Idaho
Charles Haerter–Arizona
Antelope:
Richard Cochran –Utah
Kent Womack–Idaho
Moose:
William McKinney–Alabama
Super Hunt Combo:
Dennis Draper–Idaho
Super Hunt Raises Money for Sportsman
Access
After the second round on August 15, the annual Super
Hunt drawings have raised more than $120,000 for the
Department of Fish and Game’s Access Yes! program
this year, updated figures show.
But the revenue has declined since the inception of the
program in 2004 when it brought in $162,391. In 2005
that dropped to $141,391, but mostly because the price
per ticket dropped.
The first round of Super Hunt drawings brought in
$90,223 with the sale of 16,746 tickets, and the second
round garnered $29,846 with 6,152 tickets. The 22,898
tickets sold this year is down from 30,298 tickets sold in
2005 and 29,983 in 2004.
The winners get tags for deer, elk, pronghorn and moose
in the hunt of their choice, but they must abide by
the rules of that hunt. The winners of the Super Hunt
Combo get tags for all four species.
Money from the ticket sales goes to help 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. For information contact local Fish and Game
offices, or visit the department Website at: http://
fishandgame.idaho.gov. Donations are accepted at all
license vendors.
Wolf Control in Idaho Continues
During August, wolves have injured one and killed
four calves, one adult cow and several sheep, and
in response three wolves have been killed, and the
Idaho Department of Fish and Game has authorized
the capture and removal of one pack and four other
additional wolves.
When gray wolves were reintroduced in Idaho in 1995,
federal officials pledged to control wolves that preyed
on livestock. Control methods include monitoring
to track locations, trapping and relocating or killing
wolves that chronically prey on domestic livestock.
Ranchers can also be compensated for livestock lost to
confirmed wolf depredation.
Under federal rules changed in 2005 and an agreement
between Idaho and the federal government signed
in January, Idaho took over day-to-day management
of wolves protected under the Endangered Species
Act. That includes authorizing the lethal control to
protect domestic livestock. The U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s Wildlife Services carries out the control
action at the request of and in consultation with Idaho
Fish and Game.
During August, two calves were killed and another
injured by a newly established wolf pack in the Danskin
Ridge area near Mountain Home. Fish and Game and
Wildlife Services decided to remove the entire pack in
response to the depredations.
Wildlife Services also confirmed on August 7 and
August 10 that wolves killed several sheep on Lava
Ridge, northeast of McCall. The incident occurred on
a Payette National Forest grazing allotment within the
Hazard Lake Pack’s territory, but officials don’t know
which wolves are responsible. Traps have been set, and
after consulting with Fish and Game, Wildlife Services
intends to collar and release the first wolf captured and
kill one wolf.
On August 8, Wildlife Services confirmed that wolves
killed a calf on private land in Panther Creek, near
Salmon. Traps have been set to catch and kill one
un-collared wolf. Any pack members captured with
functioning radio collars will be released. If caught, the
wolf with a nonfunctioning collar will be released with
a new collar.
Also on August 8, Wildlife Services confirmed that
wolves killed a calf on private land near Salmon. Traps
have been set with the intention of killing one wolf.
On August 11, Wildlife Services confirmed that wolves
killed an adult cow on private land near Donnelly. The
producer did not want trapping on his property. A shooton-sight permit was issued for one wolf.
On August 15, Wildlife Services captured and killed
two un-collared, black, sub-adult female wolves from
the Steel Mountain Pack near the Trinity Lakes area
in the Boise National Forest. The control action was
completed August 19 when Wildlife Service captured
and killed one gray, sub-adult female wolf.
Wolf control actions are in no danger of jeopardizing
wolf recovery in Idaho. To date, Wildlife Services has
killed 17 wolves and ranchers have killed an additional
nine wolves harassing or attacking their livestock as
allowed under the 10j rule. In 2005, the wolf population
ISSUE 136
IDFG, cont.
in Idaho had grown to more than 500 in at least 59
packs and 36 breeding pairs. The Fish and Wildlife
Service considers the wolf biologically recovered and is
considering delisting gray wolves in the northern Rocky
Mountains.
Land Use Summit Planned
An Idaho Land Use Summit is set for September 14 and
15 at the Nampa Civic Center.
The two-day conference will focus on Idaho’s ever
increasing growth and development and balancing
growth with fish and wildlife resources, associated
recreation, and rural lifestyles.
The summit planners hope to bring together
landowners, hunters, anglers, ranchers, farmers,
developers, politicians, county commissioners, land
trusts, and nongovernment organizations, to discuss
growth and to promote conservation of Idaho’s rural
quality of life and wildlife resources in balance with
development.
Registration is $75 and includes two lunches and a
barbecue dinner. Registration is open to all who are
interested.
For more information, to register online, or to get a
hotel go to: http://www.ictws.org/summit.html.
Fish and Game Commission to Consider
Purchase
The Idaho Fish and Game Commission will conduct a
conference call meeting at 9:30 a.m. Thursday, August
24, to discuss the purchase of Redbird Canyon, near
Craig Mountain Wildlife Management Area, by the
Idaho Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
The meeting will be at the Idaho Department of Fish
and Game headquarters at 600 S. Walnut Street, Boise.
Individuals with disabilities may request meeting
accommodations by contacting the Director’s office at
the Idaho Department of Fish and Game directly at 208334-5159 or through the Idaho Relay Service at 1-800377-2529 (TDD).
Events at the Nature Center
Snakes Alive
Do you think there are snakes hiding in the tall grass at
the Nature Center?
Join the staff at the Morrison Knudsen Nature Center at
noon and 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, August 26 and
27, to explore the basic adaptations and behavior of
snakes.
We’ll show you where snakes live at the nature center.
You will even get “up close and personal” with one of
our live gopher snakes.
Open to all ages.
Summer Chinook
And while at the Nature Center stop and check out the
new guests that arrived August 17.
Five adult summer run Chinook salmon, three females
and two males raised in a hatchery, have returned to
freshwater to spawn after spending one, two or three
years in the ocean. These salmon will most likely
attempt to spawn in mid- to late-August, when Nature
Center visitors may be able to see a female salmon
building her nest, or redd, to prepare to lay her eggs in
the gravel.
When the Chinook die after spawning, their bodies will
infuse the stream with rich ocean nutrients, maintaining
a healthy freshwater system for future fish-rearing.
Ask Fish and Game:
Q. When will the results of the second drawing be
posted deer, elk, antelope and black bear, and when will
any leftover tags be available?
A. Winners will be notified by mail and results also
will be posted on the Fish and Game Website at http://
fishandgame.idaho.gov/ later this week. There’s no
deadline to pick up tags from the second drawing. Only
those tags that no one put in for will be available for
over-the-counter sales starting at 10 a.m. mountain time
August 25.
Hunters: Give Us Your Jaws
If you’re a big game hunter, Fish and Game
would like your jaw; the jaw of your cow elk or doe
mule deer that is. The jaws are needed as part of an
effort to better estimate the age structure of certain elk
and deer populations across Idaho.
“If we can collect enough lower jaws
from female elk and deer, we can estimate the age
structure of the female segment of several elk and deer
populations,” Fish and Game wildlife research biologist
Craig White said. “That information is critical to better
determine the status of these big game populations.”
Hunters harvesting cow elk or doe mule deer
from hunt units 23, 28, 32, 32A, 33, 34, 35, 36, 36A,
36B, 39, 43, 44, 45 (deer only), 48 (elk only) and 50
are asked to leave the lower jaw from their harvested
animal at one of three locations: a Fish and Game
check station, Fish and Game regional office or a jaw
barrel. Barrels will be placed at strategic points for jaw
collection, and information cards will be available at all
collection points to record simple information such as
the unit where the animal was harvested.
Please contact the Fish and Game Nampa
office (465-8465), McCall office (634-8137), Jerome
office (324-4359), or Salmon office (756-2271) with
questions regarding the big game age structure study.
Horsethief Reservoir to be Drained/
Treated
Horsethief Reservoir’s yellow perch
population, offspring of their illegally stocked
descendants, will soon get the boot thanks to action
taken by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game.
The reservoir’s once robust trout fishery has
suffered since the illegally planted yellow perch were
first spotted in Horsethief back in 2003. “We’ve been
monitoring the perch population since then,” Fish
and Game Fisheries manager Dale Allen noted. “This
summer, fishing for trout has been severely impacted
by the stunted perch population, and the only remedy
to restore Horsethief’s trout fishery is to drain the
reservoir down slowly after Labor Day until it is dry,
and restock the reservoir with trout next spring.” Fish
and Game has taken this same control action twice
before at Horsethief, both times because of illegally
introduced perch.
Fish and Game is now requesting comments
and concerns about the proposed draining of Horsethief
Reservoir. Correspondence related to this project should

during the process) to fish salvage by anglers.
Once the reservoir is drained, biologists will
apply rotenone, a fish toxicant, to any remaining
waters behind the dam. In the spring of 2007,
the reservoir will be restocked with catchable
rainbow trout and brown trout fingerlings.
Horsethief Reservoir, a Fish and Gameowned reservoir, is managed for trout fishing,
and is as popular a destination for campers as it is
anglers. Illegal introductions of fish, including
yellow perch at Horsethief, are extremely costly
to Fish and Game, and ultimately to license
buyers both in terms of direct monetary costs as
well as lost recreational fishing opportunities.
The action is being taken because trout
and yellow perch do not co-exist well in smaller
reservoirs like Horsethief. “Competition for food
and the high reproductive ability of yellow perch
are the main problems,” Allen said. “As the perch
population increases, it slows trout growth, and
the large numbers of small yellow perch make
fishing for trout slow.”
Fortunately, the project should not
sideline Horsethief for too long. “The reservoir
will fill with next year’s spring runoff and we
will restock Horsethief with trout as soon as
possible,” Allen said. “Trout fishing should be
good in 2007, and the stocked trout will grow
very well in the months following restocking.”
For those with a passion for yellow perch, their
numbers are on the rebound in Lake Cascade,
just a few miles west of Horsethief. Allen and his
staff expect good fall perch fishing at Cascade,
and even better winter ice fishing.

HAROLD L. LAMB – NEW PLYMOUTH
WAYNE D. LANE - FRUITLAND
Wayne Dean Lane, 76,
of Fruitland, passed
away Tuesday, August
22, 2006 at Holy Rosary
Medical Center, Ontario.
Graveside services will
be held 1:00 p.m., Friday,
August 25, 2006 at Park
View Cemetery, New Plymouth with Pastor Phil
Pittman officiating. A visitation for family and
friends will be from 3-8 p.m., Thursday, August
24, 2006 at Shaffer-Jensen Memory Chapel, New
Plymouth.
Wayne was born August 31, 1929 in Gering,
Nebraska to Fred James and Bessie Marie
(Friedley) Lane. He grew up and attended
schools in Fruitland and New Plymouth. Wayne
served in the Army during WWII. After the
war he returned to New Plymouth and worked
a short time for the Highway district crew. He
then went to work in the Boise Cascade Emmett
Mill, retiring in 1989 where his co-workers
would ask him when he was going to retire, he
would tell them “If I’m here at lunch it won’t be
today.”
He was a member of the Ontario Elks Lodge
#1690, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, golfing and
many other outdoor activities.
Harold was born February 8, 1947, in Bentonville, Arkansas
to Austin and Jewell Lamb. He attended school in several
locations before graduating from New Plymouth High School
in 1965. Harold worked briefly as a tractor mechanic for Oliver
Corporation in Payette before becoming a fulltime farmer near
New Plymouth.
Harold married his high school sweetheart, Cleta Crabb, on
June 24, 1966. Together they raised two daughters, several dogs
and cats, and a lot of beans, wheat, alfalfa and corn. Harold
loved to talk about farming with anyone who would listen. For
the past 35 years, his favorite pastimes were driving tractor,
working the ground, raising crops and watching his wife, kids
and grandkids.
He was a typical parent – proud of all his daughters’
accomplishments, no matter how large or small. From their
grades in school; the sports they participated in; to both Shelly
and Peggy receiving their Master’s Degrees. He was a very
proud husband, dad and grandpa.
Harold is survived by his wife Cleta; two daughters and their
spouses, Shelly and Brad Hester of Jackpot, NV and Peggy
Lamb and Darrin Boss of Havre, MT; two grandsons, Alex and
Wayne is survived by his wife Darlene Lane
Darren Hester; father Austin; brother Bill and his wife Mary;
of Fruitland; his sisters, Katherine “Kay”
Henggeler of Fruitland, Barbara Brumet of New and two dogs, Arlo and Rusty. He was preceded in death by his
Plymouth and Viola Peutsch of Temple, TX; two mother Jewell.

his kindness, gentleness and laid back ways. He

As we continue to think about literacy and what it
means to our children’s lives, I want to share with
you some skills that will help you to give your
child a strong reading foundation.
This information was adapted as part of
the Every Child Ready to Read @ your library.® a

Early Literacy Skills
The National Research Council
recommends that children enter school with
specific early literacy skills that serve as the
foundation for learning to read and write. Children
who enter school with more of these skills are
better able to benefit from the reading instruction
they receive when they arrive at school. The
following was created by the Idaho Commission
for Libraries’ Read to Me project.
Narrative Skills—Being able to tell or retell a story
helps children understand what they read.

- Share books together and talk about the pictures.
- Read wordless stories together and let your child
tell the story.
- Tell childhood classics together. The Three Little
Pigs andThe Three Billy Goats Gruff are fun for
the whole family to participate in or act out.
- Add to what your child says. If your child says,
“big truck” then you say, “Yes, a big red fire
truck.”
- Tell stories with puppets or dolls. Encourage your
child to pretend and write down some of the stories
she tells you.
- Help your child relate what is happening in the
story to her own experience, for example, “What
happened when we went swimming?”
- Ask open-ended questions like, “What do you
think is happening in this picture?” and “What was
your favorite part of the story?”
Studies of early readers show they come from
homes where oral language is used in a variety of
ways.
