County bug crew have been very busywith the monitoring of vegetation. One ofthe bugs, Cyphocleonus Acthates is in itslast stage of metamorphosis. Soon this rootboring weevil will emerge from the Knap-weed root, and find another knapweed tobore into and kill.

What Do New Investors Really Need To Know?If you’re starting out as an investor, you might be feeling

overwhelmed. After all, it seems like there’s just so much toknow. How can you get enough of a handle on basic investmentconcepts so that you’re comfortable in making well-informedchoices?

Actually, you can get a good grip on the investment processby becoming familiar with a few basic concepts, such as these:Stocks versus Bonds: When you buy stocks, or stock-basedinvestments, you are buying ownership shares in companies.Generally speaking, it’s a good idea to buy shares of qualitycompanies and to hold these shares for the long term. This strat-egy may help you eventually overcome short-term price de-clines, which may affect all stocks. Keep in mind, though, thatwhen buying stocks, there are no guarantees you won’t losesome or all of your investment.

By contrast, when you purchase bonds, you aren’t becom-ing an “owner” - rather, you are lending money to a company ora governmental unit. Barring default, you can expect to receiveregular interest payments for as long as you own your bond, andwhen it matures, you can expect to get your principal back.However, bond prices do rise and fall, typically moving in theopposite direction of interest rates. So if you wanted to sell abond before it matures, and interest rates have recently risen,you may have to offer your bond at a price lower than its facevalue.

For the most part, stocks are purchased for their growthpotential (although many stocks do offer income, in the form ofdividends), while bonds are bought for the income stream pro-vided by interest payments. Ideally, though, it is important tobuild a diversified portfolio containing stocks, bonds, certificatesof deposit (CDs), government securities and other invest-mentsdesigned to meet your goals and risk tolerances. Diversificationis a strategy designed to help reduce the effects of mar-ketvolatility on your portfolio; keep in mind, however, that diversifi-cation, by itself, can’t guarantee a profit or protect against loss.

from Camas County Schools - District No. 121Dear Camas County School District #121 Patron:

As usual we have a lot of challenges next year. Some ofthem are beginning to become easier and we will be able tobuild upon the gains we have worked so hard to realize. It’san understatement when we say that education is a chal-lenging profession in today’s world. Increased performancedemands and low funding are impacting all aspects of oureducational system.

Speaking of funding, we passed a supplemental levy lastspring for the purchase of student supplies, equipment and tocontinue our current programs. However, we still have theresponsibility of meeting our facility needs, as well as prop-erly educating children. On August 27thst we will be askingpatrons and staff to support a Ten Year Plant Facility Levy inthe amount of $20,000 per year.

Reasons for asking for levy approval are:

· Prior to the end of FY 2009, CCSD #121 received approxi-mately $25,500 in Lottery and School Building Maintenancemoney each year from the state.

· In the four years after 2009 the amount of money wereceived outside of basic operations to address building needshas been a total of 0 dollars.

· This year lottery money has been added back to the stateappropriation and the amount we will receive is $2700.Obviously these numbers are far short of the amount requiredto address our building and grounds needs. In fact, our needsare growing each year as our buildings continue to age.

· Plant facility money can only be used for “projects” that ex-ceed $5000 and not for salaries. In other words, this moneywill be used only for facility repairs and improvements.

· The $20,000 requested in the Plant Facilities Levy is the amountwe saved each year by refinancing our Building Bonds.In effect the bond levy refinance will offset our total taxingrequest and will result in NO tax increase.

· This year legislators approved a personal property tax shift.Included in that statute was a provision that obligates the stateto pay the personal property tax portion for any school elec-tion approved prior to November 2013. The state obligationportion of the $20,000 is $1400 each year or $14000 over thenext ten years. To put it another way; local patrons would bepaying $18,600 rather than the full $20,000.

Thank you for your continued support. If you have any ques-tions concerning the Plant Facility Levy or the operation of ourschool district feel free to drop by the district office or call me at208-358-1053. I am more than willing to meet with any organi-zation, individual, or group at your convenience.

“Little Wolves” by Thomas MaltmanThe opening paragraphs of this book are riveting - a strangely

plausible interaction between a human baby and a mother wolf.The prose is exquisite; the writer puts you right there with thewolf, inside her wintery world and inside her head. But then Iturned the page and the wolf’s world was gone, explained awayas a story told to a child.

The real story develops when the reader is introduced to acommunity of people who are less socialized than a genuinepack of wolves. The wolves of the title, as it turns out, are alitter of coyotes whose story is left on the side while humandepravity takes center stage.

There are many supernatural nuances between the coversof this book, but they reveal themselves to be perfectly natural,as natural as a litter of kittens, a troubled teenager, nearly do-mesticated coyotes that remember a certain smell or an extra-marital forbidden affair. All the man-eating wolves in this bookare human.

Buggin For Noxious Weedsfrom the Camas Bug Crew

This year on bug crew we have three returning veterans,Alison Walker, Hunter Rasmussen, and Tana Sabin. New to thecrew is Taylor Rock! The Boss is once again Eric McHan.

We started out the year with Leafy Spurge and White Top.Due to their plant phrenology, they are usually the first noxiousweeds to bolt in the spring.

On July second we went to Shake Creek on the Boise River,to collect insects from our insectory. The two insects we gath-ered were Apthona Flea Beatles, and Oberea, a stem boringmoth. These bugs will be sent all over the Western United States.

We look forward to work-ing with public and private landowners over the summer inhelping eradicate noxiousweeds in Camas County.

Back to School with ImmunizationPRESS RELEASE

Back-to-school season is here, time for parents to gathersupplies and backpacks. It’s also the perfect time to make sureyour children are up-to-date on their immunizations. August isNational Immunization Awareness month, and South CentralPublic Health District (SCPHD) strongly encourages parentsto take this opportunity to keep their children better protectedwith up-to-date immunizations in preparation for daycare, back-to-school, and college.

“Today’s childhood immunizations protect against seriousand potentially life threatening diseases, including polio, measles,whooping cough and chickenpox,” said Lisa Klamm, SCPHDimmunization program coordinator. “When children are not im-munized, they are at increased risk and can spread diseases toothers in their classrooms and community. School age childrenare required to have immunizations.”

Immunizations have eliminated smallpox, polio, and diph-theria in the United States and have nearly eliminated measles,mumps, and tetanus. However, Idaho still ranks the lowest inthe nation for completed childhood immunizations. Each year,preventable diseases such as whooping cough continue to bereported in many areas of the state.

Parents can make an appointment by calling the SCPHDclinic in their area. An appointment is required in order to stream-line services and reduce waiting times. It is also critical to bringeach child’s immunization record to identify what they’ve hador still need. Immunizations are available by appointment atSCPHD offices in:

Bellevue: 788-4335 Gooding: 934-4477Jerome: 324-8838 Mini-Cassia: 678-8221Twin Falls: 737-5966

For information on SCPHD’s immunization fees and clinicschedules, visit www.phd5.idaho.gov. For more information onthe importance of childhood immunizations, please call LisaKlamm at SCPHD, 678-8221. A list of required immunizationsfor children of all ages is available at www.immunizeidaho.org.

Cup of Tee©

Tee Hurd

I missed last week of having a “Cupof Tee” in the paper. I didn’t miss the 100o

middle of it. More so, I missed some ice Tea.I was absent because I was hauling weat to its shipping

destination. I was hauling the gran in a ten wheel dump hoisttruck. The doors that accomodate hauling silage corn weresealed shut to prevent leakage. All I had was 12” square door tounload the wheat. The building I was delivering in was aboutthree stories tall, tin roofed, and full of grain. With the existing100o weather and the wheat putting off its own heat, thingswere warm. To add extra heat I had to hand unload the remanderthat wouldn’t go through the 12” opening.

As I looked at the wheat in the barn type shed, I wonderedhow much wheat it took to make a loaf of bread. The ansure Iwas told was 60 loaves of bread to the bushel. A bushel weighs60 pounds. So, if my math serves me right, about a pound ofgrain per loaf of bread (which is a pound).

Somehow the mathematics doesn’t seem to jive to me. Youstart with pound of material, process it, and still end up with apound? The loads of grain I would deliver would be about 25,000pounds. That is a lot of bread with my truck loads alone, notcounting all the other wheat 30 feet high.

In our State of Idaho, we are diverse agricultural state wihtlots of food products. Why are we not at the top of the list as faras hunger-less families? Our state should lead with fewer hun-gry families. Once again, the math doesn’t work very well.Maybe I’m not very good with math, but I think some basicswere obtained during my school years.

Back to the bread, to get a pound from a pound, perhaps thefillers are the basis in which bread is weighed. Long years ago,bread and gasoline stayed close to the same price. Gasoline isdouble the price of bread with wheat staying the same ol’ pur-chase price year after year.

Maybe our government is giving us the “filler” and not thereal scoop. At the Boston Tea Party the British were not invitedto throw the tea overboard into the harbor to protest unfair tax“fillers.” Maybe we need to have a bread party... Yeah, a BreadParty! This time we should invite our leaders to join us. Insteadof bread we could serve the “filler” on mussel shells or some-thing similiar. We the people could say, “but that is the way itis.” Maybe it won’t all be about the math, whereasa we are allshorted. Maybe we need a little English too.

Pound for pound, this is my “Cup of Tee” on the short side.
