West Nile Virus South Central Public Health District (SCPHD) officials and the Twin Falls County Pest Abatement District (TFC-PAD) have confirmed a West Nile Virus positive mosquito pool in Twin Falls County, caught in district traps between Twin Falls and Kimberly. No human cases have been re-ported to date, however a horse in Gooding County has tested positive for the virus. “West Nile is a potentially serious illness that is usually spread to animals and humans through the bite of an in-fected mosquito. Most people infected with West Nile do not show symptoms,” says Logan Hudson, SCPHD Nurse Program Manager. “However, people with symptoms may experience fever, headaches, body aches, fatigue, nausea, vomiting,eyepain,andsometimesswollenlymphglandsor a skin rash typically occurring 2 to 14 days after the bite of an infected mosquito. More severe infections may involve the central nervous system.” “TFCPAD traps mosquitoes throughout Twin Falls Coun-ty during the summer to test for the virus. Some species are morepronetocarryingdiseasesthanothersandwetrytofocus our work on those species. We have already increased surveillance and treatment in the area of the positive pools,” Kirk Tubbs, TFCPAD Manager. Public Health officials remind individuals to protect them-selves and their families from mosquito bites:

••The Best Food is made by a Friend!Tee Hurd

My John Deere 60 tractor has a wheel spacing that doesn’t fit on my tandem axle trail-

er. The owner previous to myself welded the axle so the wheels would not slip. I think he lost a wheel in the middle of the night during farming. A wheel falling off a tractor makes for a dangerous situation, especially on a three wheeled tractor. Since my axle is welded, I usually drive my tractor to tractor pulls So far, I have driven my tractor about 90 miles to do some tractor pulling. The Western Idaho State Fair is now in progress in Boise, Idaho. On Friday last, the Treasure Valley Antique Power As-sociation was pulling at the state fair. Of course, I was once again driving my tractor to the pull. This time I was driving from Nampa, Idaho, to Boise. The ride to Meridian, Idaho, from Nampa was pretty peaceful. People still threw up a hand and waved as an iconic workhorse passed by them. But, once in Meridian, city life ignorance has seemed to affect a few people. I was driving my tractor in the right-hand lane of the two same direction lanes. In fact, I was over in the bicycle lane. A driver comes around the left lane blowing his horn and waving his arms. He hollers out his window, “GET THAT TRACTOR OFF THE ROAD.” Still waving his arms, he drives off. Needless to say, I was very irritated! I hollered, “Stop your d**n car and we will discuss your issue.” Apparently the driver was in a big hurry and probably didn’t notice my tractor... be-cause he was probably on the phone... and couldn’t remember what his brake pedal was used for. If he was not so full of himself and did stop, I would have told him, “In the State of Idaho we are an agricultural state. Horses and tractors have legal use of our roads. Tractors are legal pro-viding you have a slow moving sign and lights at night. If you can’t see my slow moving sign, or you are not from this state, you should go somewhere where farmers aren’t putting food in your loud mouth. Asphalt doesn’t fill your stomach but it could, if someone was scraping you off the pavement.” If the driver with a license from a Cracker Jack box didn’t understand what I was telling him, I would have used other methods of communication. We could have used the Hind-licked procedureortheLoneRangermaskprocedurewhereasthenosesupports four fingers and thumb between two covered eyes. I hopethesamedrivercomeuponmytractorusingtheroadwayI pay to maintain again real soon, but this time I hope there are fifteen tractors and he has a case of diarrhea in a single lane with no side streets. Actually, I hope the distressed driver finds time to smell some roses, relax with an ice cream cone, and enjoy life as we do in Fairfield. This is my “Cup of upset Tee.”

Planned Parenthood If you don’t know about the undercover

videos that are being released regarding Planned Parent-hood, then you haven’t been watching the news. Regardless of whether you think Planned Parenthood provides a much needed service to women’s health, or whetheryoubelieveit isaracistorganizationintentonwipingoutblackpeople,theonethingyouneedtoknowisthatthisissueisnot about abortion. Here’s why. There is no question that Planned Parenthood is providing fetal tissue to research companies. There is also no question that this is legal, as long as these clinics do not profit from doing so. However, in order for fetal tissue to be of any value to the type of research these companies are doing, it must be at a certain level of development. The ideal gesta-tion is 20 weeks or more (at 22 weeks the fetus is viable outside the womb). Sarah Cliff (a writer for Vox.com) watched all 12 hours of the unedited videos put out by the Center for Medi-cal Progress. While she is clearly a supporter of Planned Parenthood, she was nevertheless disturbed that Planned Parenthood officials talked openly about manipulating the abortion process in order to obtain better tissue. In fact, one official talked about prolonging or delaying the procedure (abortion) as a way of maximizing intact fetuses. Now, lest we be confused, an intact fetus is a fetus that leaves its mother’s body without any damage. If the proce-dure takes place at ideal gestation (20 weeks or more), this also means the fetus is fully developed - it has a beating heart and a fully functional brain. According to one Planned Parenthood official, approximately 10% of fetuses come out intact. Abortion is legal in the United States. But, once a live birth takes place, the death of a child is something entirely different.

Letter to the EditorDear Editor, It is August, and it is snowing at my

house. Not flakes of snow, but fuzz balls. On each fuzzy is a Canada Thistle seed. Next to my 160 acre, Prime Organic Alfalfa field is 160 acres of Canadian Thistle, now ripe and taking to the air. This is not my problem, nor Camas County’s problem, but everyone in Southern Idaho. 160 acres can produce enough seed for bumper crop in all of Southern Idaho. Help!!! What can I do? Beulah Baldwin 25 South 300 East Fairfield, ID 83327

Fires & Hunting Seasons Hunters heading into the field need to beware of fire situations and possible area closures in their favorite hunting spots. They can get fire information and links to other websites at a designated fire page on Idaho Fish and Game’s website at https://fishandgame.idaho.gov/content/fire. Typically, fire season is waning when fall hunts begin, which could happen in parts of the state, but weather pat-terns in the Panhandle and Clearwater Basin are showing no relief from fires. Access to some areas, including fed-eral,stateandprivatetimberlands,isclosed,andhunterscan expect some access restrictions in those regions. Other parts of the state are seeing normal to below-average fire seasons, and access closures are fairly lo-calized. As we move into fall, fire activity typically de-creases as nights get longer and cooler. In limited cases, Fish and Game will offer rain checks or refunds when access to a hunting unit is blocked by fire. A person requesting a rain check must submit his orhertagtoFishandGamewithaletterdescribinghowfires blocked their ability to hunt. If the rain check is granted, a 2016 tag is offered for the same species and hunt area as the hunter held in 2015.
