The Payette Forest
Coalition (PFC) met
near New Meadows on
Thursday.
The group reviewed
and revised their
procedure for reaching a
consensus, deciding that
a super majority would
enable the approval
of recommendations
instead of the unanimous
approval that seemed to
be necessary previously.
Payette National
Forest Supervisor.
Keith Lannom, gave
an update on the Mill
Creek/Council Mountain
Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS). The EIS
process is on schedule
for a record of decision
(ROD) in early April. A
meeting with the PFC
will be scheduled to
review and celebrate the
decision, with the EIS
and record of decision

items on the agenda.

meaning that 84.9
million in fiscal year

Commissioner Joe
Holmes now represents
the largest voting dis-
trict in terms of square
miles in .Adams County.
The Adams County
Commissioners final-
ized the district bound-
xt i tt theil--Monday
meeting in t4me for the
2012 elections. Holmes
represents District 1,
which now stretches
from Indian Valley in
the South, through Bear
and Cuprum on the west
side of the county, to
Pinehurst in the North. It
took an area that large to
include an equal amount
of citizens to balance
out the other two dis-
tricts in the county. The
northern part of Adams
County added the most
population according
to the 2010 census, so
nat
the boundaries of the
three districts had to be
redrawn.
Clerk Sherry
Ward asked the
Commissioners to add
another precinct for
counting the absentee
ballots in this vear's
to drop solid waste fees
from county properties.
There is some confusion
in the county about why
a solid waste fee is levied.
especially when a home-
owner has paid for trash
removal. Commission

The Commissioners

A Wild Time in
New Meadotr,
OF
by Dale Ftsk
Last week the New
Meadows High School
gym saw one of the
more bizarre events it
has hosted. A rollicking
round of Donkey
Basketball games rocked
the place. The first game
was the high school boys
vs. girls, with the boys
winning. The second
game was between the
school faculty and New
Meadows business
people, with the
businesses coming out
on top. The final playoff
between the businesses
and the high school
boys resulted in the
businesses becoming the
overall champions.
Where is This?
by Dale Fsk
Last week's picture
location was fairly easy
to guess since it's a
pretty popular place to
drive to...even though
the road is a trial. The
picture was of Hornet
Creek Reservoir on
Cuddy Mountain. We
had seven correct
answers, and the winner
of the drawing was Dave
Addington.
So, this week I decided
to go back to another
harder one. A lot of
people can probably
identify the general area,
but I need the name of
the creek and, for extra
credit, the name of the
unique rock butte just
right of center. I would
guess that half of our
readers have been to a
spot just out of sight in
this shot, but I doubt
more than one or two
have been close to where
the photographer, Gayle
Dixon, was standing.
Let's just say it's a climb
that would give the best
of us a workout.
This week's photo is
an example of one of
the types of pictures I'd
like to feature here: it
is a place that might
be familiar to a lot of
people if they saw if from
a different angle. An
attractive, creative photo
is always a plus. And I'm
always looking for more
pictures, so please send
them in.
This week's prize is a
jar of arnica salve (for
use on bruises and
sprains) and a tube of lip
balm from D&L Herbs in
Council. Remember the
deadline for entries is
Monday at 4:00 PM.
