Barrett said.
Wayne Wareing was
presented with the saddle
Wednesday morning at
Barrett’s home. The main
body of the saddle is
carved out of cottonwood
and the stirrups are carved
from pine. Barrertt carved
a relief of flowers into the
sides of the saddle along
with all of the intricate
details in the saddle.
“It’s hard to tell it isn’t
really leather,” Wareing
said. “This means so much
to us. We hope to raise
$15,000 this year. We will
discuss it as a team and
decide if we will auction
or raffle the saddle.”
Barrett has been carving
out of wood for 15 years
and the saddles generally
go for $1500. Barrett has
carved horses, saddles and
a variety of relief’s over the
last 15 years.
This year the Relay for
Life event will take place at
12 p.m. Saturday, May 21

Local artist donates handmade
saddle to Relay For Life cause
BLACKFOOT — After
battling esophageal cancer
longtime Blackfoot resident Ron Barrett donated a
wood carved saddle, hand
carved by Barrett, to the
Relay For Life team “Jayna’s
Hope.” Ron knew Jayna
from working with her at
Idaho Supreme in Firth.
“When I first found out
I had cancer I had nobody
to talk to,” Barrett said.
“I remembered that Jayna
had breast cancer and
survived it at that time. I
went to speak with Jayna
to find out what comes
next. Jayna gave me all the
information she could and
I would go visit with her
on my breaks.”
After coming back to
work from a visit to Utah
Ron learned that Jayna
had left the job and he
never had the opportunity
to thank her before she
passed away three years
ago.

bombing as well
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SALT LAKE CITY (AP)
— Surviving a major
bombing is the extraordinary — and repeated
— situation that one Utah
teen can live to tell about.
Mason
Wells,
a
19-year-old from Sandy,
Utah, is expected to
make a full recovery from
the bombing attack at the
Brussels airport Tuesday,
which left him with a surgery scar, severed Achilles
tendon, head gash, shrapnel injuries and severe
burns.
Wells had once again
found himself at the center of a major attack —
standing within feet of a

bomb that exploded at
the Belgian airport. The
blasts in the Belgian capital killed 34 people and
wounded scores at the
airport and a subway station.

Blackfoot Mayor Paul Loomis encouraged the kids to

“If you stay involved, you
will make a difference in
your community,” he said.
Loomis asked the students
where the mayor’s mansion
was. The students knew exactly where it is located. It
has a veranda this year.
The mayor took questions
from the students.
“With whom do you work?
How big is your mansion?
How much does it cost? Can
you do anything about swimmer’s itch?”

Relatively new pest is harming Idaho fruit plants
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOISE (AP) – Orchard
owners and backyard fruit
growers are facing a formidable enemy this season in
the form of a tiny fly, spotted wing drosophila (SWD)
or drosophila suzukii. It’s
tiny but mighty, able to
lay eggs through unbroken
skins of fruit such as cherries, blueberries, etc. There
are about 1,500 species
496 W
Hwy 39
of drosophila, and this is
the only one that attacks
whole living fruit. We
know the other species as
fruit or vinegar flies, those
that further the decay process of rotting fruit as they
feed.
This fly is new to the
U.S., having appeared
first in California in 2008,
and in Idaho in 2012.
It’s native to Japan and
Korea. Entomologists on
the West Coast are scram-
bling to learn all they can
about these insects’ lives,
because when one knows
all crucial information
about an insect, one can
use that information to
help control it.
When fly eggs hatch, the
larvae are white maggots,
and fruit containing those
are not salable in commerce. Some California
fruit growers have suffered
20 percent losses due to
this mite of a fly. Home
NoW oFFeriNg
gardeners too are at risk
from this fly, losing even
bramble fruits to their egg
laying. We already have
problems controlling cherry fruit fly maggots, and
certainly don’t need maggots in raspberries and
blackberries.
What can we do?
Apparently they’re attracted to yellow or red, so
we could make traps using
lidded paper cups with at
least some of either color
on them. Holes in or near
the top of the cup should
be 3/16 of an inch in diameter. If holes are larger, you
may trap beneficial insects
unintentionally. Even so,
you may trap some of the
tiny beneficial wasps such
as Encarsia species. To
attract insects, use apple
cider vinegar with a bit
of dishwashing liquid to
break surface tension. If
you don’t break it, flies
drink and fly away. If
you’ve added a bit of dishwashing liquid, they land,
sink and die.
I’d suggest using raw
unpasteurized apple cider
vinegar from the health
food section of the supermarket rather than the pasteurized Heinz brand. Or
use a mixture of dry baker’s
yeast (two tablespoons),
sugar (4 teaspoons) to one
and a half cups of warm

MISSIONARY, continued from 1A
Three years ago, Wells
and his father felt the
ground shake and narrowly escaped death from
an April 2013 attack in
the U.S., when a pressurecooker bomb exploded a
block away from where
they were watching his
mother run the Boston
Marathon.
“Hopefully he’s run his
lifelong odds and we’re
done,” said Chad Wells
about the oldest of their
five children. “I think it
will make him a stronger
person...Maybe the Boston
experience was there to
help him get through this
experience.”
The former high school
football and lacrosse player had four months left
on his two-year Mormon
mission, and was planning
to major in engineering
at the University of Utah
next fall. He also wanted

Academy after barely
missing the cut after high
school, his father said.
His father said he woke
up to the latest news on
the TV before calling his
son’s mission president in
France and found out his
son was injured but alive.
More than eight hours
later, they finally spoke to
their son, who was groggy
and exhausted after surgery. The teen is in good
spirits but his family is still
figuring out when they’ll
get to see him, and if he’ll
finish his mission.
“I’m
completely
shocked by the news. It’s
the kind of thing as a parent you never, ever want to
wake up to,” Chad Wells
said. “We’re just grateful
that’s he lived through this
experience.”
Other Mormon missionaries at the Brussels airport
were also hospitalized.
Richard Norby, 66, of Lehi,
and Joseph Empey, 20, of
Santa Clara, were with
Wells and also hospitalized with serious injuries
from the blast.
Empey is doing well
after being treated for second-degree burns to his
hands, face and head, his
parents, Court and Amber
Empey said in a statement.
He also had surgery for
shrapnel injuries to his
legs.
“We have been in touch
with him and he is grateful
and in good spirits,” the
family said.
Utah Gov. Gary Herbert
praised the Utah natives
as “people of faith who
have forsaken everything
— family, friends, school
and careers — in order
to share a message of
hope and love with the
world.” Thousands of Utah
Mormons have served
proselytizing
missions
around the world. Church
members account for as
many as two-thirds of the
state’s population.
The Utahns were at the
airport with Fanny Rachel
Clain, 20, of Montelimar,
France, who was on
her way to a missionary
assignment in Cleveland.
The woman had passed
through security to a different part of the airport at the
time of the explosion. The
Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints said she
didn’t make her flight out
and was hospitalized with
minor injuries.
It instructed others in
the France Paris Mission to
stay in their homes, though
mission President Frederic
J. Babin said the missionaries will still continuing
working in their mission to
preach the gospel.
“We, since what happened in Paris last year,
we have been working
with all the missionaries
on safety rules for them to
be safe, wherever they are,
in Belgium or in France,”
Babin said in an official
church video.
As for Wells, family
friend Chris Lambson said
he thinks divine interventions have helped the
young man survive in the
face of such extraordinary,
if not repeated, circumstances. In fact, Wells was
also in France about two
hours away from Paris during a series of attacks in
the city last November.
“He’s doing extremely
well,” Lambson said. “His
biggest concern right now
is about housing at U of

It's Time to Schedule for Fruit Tree Trimming!
PEST continued from 1A
water. Hang these
homemade traps in or near
fruit trees or shrubs, and
monitor them. You’d probably need a microscope
to identify a female (and
know the shape of the ovipositor you’re looking for),
but the males have a black
spot near the far edge of
each wing. If and when
there’s a buildup of bodies, wash it out and refresh
the apple cider vinegar.
Can you trap enough
to make a difference? I
think we can. The numbers of this fly apparently
fluctuate by season, large
numbers in spring, fewer
in midsummer, and a very
large increase in numbers in late summer to
early autumn, according
to experiments conducted
in California. Idaho entomologists are still trapping
them, trying to figure out
what they’re feeding on
in winter here. They’ll
broach and lay eggs in
any fruit.
Insects are drawn
to colors and can also
be trapped by painting
colored plates or cups
with a product called
“Tanglefoot.” Note the
intensity of the yellow on
insect-trapping cards sold
by garden stores. The same
hue of color is available
in some paper (or foam)
plates. You can make your
own traps by painting
Tanglefoot on those plates
if you fix a way to stake
them or hang them near
vulnerable crops. These
are irksome to humans
who accidentally touch
or bump one of these
traps, but we’ll learn. They
unfortunately may trap
beneficial insects, too.
You could also trap
thrips using this technique. Thrips are attracted
to a shade of blue I haven’t
noticed on other items,
but haven’t searched for
those items. The blue
cards available in garden
stores trap thrips drawn
to that color instead of
yellow.

The Village Idiot - Selfied to death
I just read another story
of somebody who fell off a
cliff trying to take a selfie.
Actually, they should call
it a “cellfie” because most
of these accidents happen
only with cellphones. Not
long ago, a person trying to
squeeze his handgun into
the picture shot himself
in the head. That’s called
updating your Facebook
profile the hard way.
It seems that when we’re
not taking pictures of ourselves falling off cliffs or
shooting ourselves, we are
taking pictures of ourselves
getting hit by cars, trains or
buses while trying to take
that perfect shot that says,
“I was here and aaawwwhhhhhh! ...”
It makes you wonder
who had the bright idea to
put a camera in a phone
in the first place. Now it
seems normal, but the first
time someone suggested
it years ago, it must have
come across as a pretty
wacky idea -- like telling
your friends, “Hey, I just
had a brainstorm; let’s put
a camera in a vacuum
cleaner!” Or, “Let’s put a
camera in a coffeemaker.”
don’t want them to think
you rode a dinosaur to
school every day, just say,
“We had to text.”
Although I’ve never
taken pictures of myself on
top of cliffs or while riding
a Harley using no hands,
when I go on vacation I
take lots of photos with
my phone. Photos I rarely
look at ever again. So many
of those magnificent vistas look small and unimpressive in 2D. I’ll come
back with 300 photos on
my phone -- Sue buying a
purse, me eating something
that didn’t agree with the
chef and a couple of pictures of a monument or a
picture of a guy balancing
on a cliff trying to take the
perfect shot of himself -stuff that I don’t even want
to see again, so why would
my friends? I end up deleting all but the best five, so
that when people ask we
can get it over with pretty
quickly.
Why do we take so
many pictures of ourselves?
To prove we were there?
Proving you went somewhere on vacation is a big
deal. I saw a piece in the
paper last week about a
cathedral in Italy that had
a graffiti problem. Tourists
cannot seem to stop themselves from writing things
like “Tom and Denise,
2014” in magic marker on
the walls of a 600-yearold Gothic masterpiece.
And it’s hard to get magic
marker out of white marble. Whoops, did I say
hard? I meant impossible.
Thanks, Tom and Denise. I
can’t wait to come to your
house and write something
on your living room wall
to prove that I was there.
It reminds me of that old
Noel Coward song lyric,
“Why do the wrong people
travel/When the right people stay back home?”
To solve the problem,
the cathedral has put up
a touch-screen computer
that tourists can sign. Their
messages will be digitally
stored forever, proving that
they were actually there
and, despite the urge, they
didn’t deface anything.
I hope Tom and Denise
install one before I get to
their house.

annual
Stone
Soup
Fundraiser at the MVM
School. The event brings
our community together to
help raise funds to assist
individuals and families
through hard times due to
illness, job loss, or other
uncontrollable situations.
Last year, funds from this
event supported the efforts
of our agency to help
numerous households in
Bingham County in emergency situations.
The fundraiser was a
success and we would like
to say a heart-felt “Thank
You” to the 10 businesses who participated in
our Best Soup contest.
Joe’s Restaurant took 1st
place, Shoshone Bannock
Hotel took 2nd place, and
Martha’s Café came in 3rd.
There was plenty of
good food and entertainment from our emcee
Kelly Martinez from KORR
104 and 2 members of
the band: Gas, Food, and
Lodging. We would also
like to Thank all the many
businesses and individuals
who donated items to the
Silent Auction and Raffle
portion of the night, or
who donated funds. The
Idaho National Guard
brought their massive
obstacle course which was
part of the free kids’ carnival.
This activity was definitely the crowd favorite
among the younger guests.
We also want to Thank
all the volunteers from
our community who selflessly gave of their time
and energy to help us put
this together. We could
not have done it without
you. We have such a great
community of people in
Bingham County, who are
always so responsive to
supporting SEICAA. Hope
to see you next year at
Stone Soup.

Why would you ever want
a camera in your phone?
Kids won’t believe this,
but for most of its history,
your phone wouldn’t take
a picture of you -- no matter how many buttons you
pushed. And if it did, it
would show you in your
kitchen with five other people hanging around eavesdropping on your conversation. This idea that every
member of the family could
have their own personal
phone would have seemed
just as wacky.
When the “Princess”
telephone first came out
in 1959, it was designed
to be used in the bedroom.
But many parents were
appalled at the idea of giving teenagers a phone that
couldn’t be monitored. The
world was surely coming
to an end the day that happened.

Nampa police department sending 90 rape kits for testing
NAMPA, Idaho (AP) —
About 90 sexual assault
evidence kits will be sent
to an FBI lab for testing, the Nampa Police
Department in southwest
Idaho says.
Nampa Police Capt.
Brad Daniels tells the
Idaho Press-Tribune (http://
bit.ly/1S5YrIG) in a story
on Wednesday that the
department will send 30
kits at a time to the lab in
Virginia.
The newspaper through
a public records request
reported last year that the
department had 105 sexual assault evidence kits it
never sent for the testing
that could link DNA evi-
dence to suspects.
Daniels said not all the
kits are being sent for testing because police determined no crime had been
committed or because the
possible victim requested
the kit not be tested.
An investigation by the
newspaper that looked at
22 law enforcement agen-
cies found that the Nampa
Police Department had the
lowest rate of submitting
rape kits for testing.
Rates varied, with the
police in Meridian submitting about 80 percent of
collected rape kits while
police in Pocatello submitted about 26 percent.
The Idaho Legislature
this year approved legislation mandating law
enforcement track the
number of collected rape
kits and the number that
go untested.
The law would also
require a county prosecutor to approve a decision
not to send a rape kit for
testing. The bill has been
sent to Gov. C.L. “Butch”
Otter to be signed into
law.
In anticipation of the
legislation
becoming
law, the Canyon County
Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday
released a statement saying that it had created a
tracking system for sexual
assault kits.
Idaho potato growers’ lawsuit against feds can move forward Around the state
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A
federal judge has denied
a request by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture
to dismiss a lawsuit by
eastern Idaho potato growers seeking to end a quarantine after the discovery
of a microscopic pest that
caused some countries to
initially ban Idaho spuds.
The
Agriculture
Department argued that
the Idaho farmers didn’t
have standing under federal laws to bring the lawsuit and that the lawsuit
wasn’t specific enough.
But U.S. District Court
Judge Edward J. Lodge in
a 22-page ruling earlier
this month rejected both
of those arguments.
William Myers, an attorney with Holland & Hart
representing about a dozen
potato growers, said his
clients are pleased to move
ahead to argue “where we
think there are flaws in the
agency decision making.”
The
Agriculture
Department didn’t respond
to an inquiry from The
Associated Press on Tuesday.
Lodge in his ruling
dismissed Idaho officials
from the lawsuit, noting
state court was the proper
venue concerning potential violations of state law.
Myers said they were still
analyzing whether to file
a lawsuit in state court
against Idaho officials.
The Idaho attorney general’s office declined to
comment Tuesday on the
federal court ruling.
The next step in the process, Myers said, is for the
Agriculture Department to
an Environmental Impact
Statement.
The discovery of the
pale cyst nematode in
Bingham and Bonneville
counties in 2006 was the
first detection of the pest
in the United States, and
respond by early April to
the initial lawsuit.
The
lawsuit
filed
last year cited the 10th
Amendment concerning
state’s rights in arguing that
the federal government is
illegally imposing regulations in Idaho through the
Agriculture Department’s
Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Services.
The group also said
authorities failed to follow
federal environmental laws
in imposing actions without proper study, such as
authorities have been trying to eradicate it ever
since. The plan includes
quarantine and treatment
of infected fields as well
as special regulations for
some associated fields.
The worms feed at
the roots of potato plants
and can reduce crop production by 80 percent.
Officials say the pest is not
harmful to humans.
Federal and state officials say the pale cyst nematode has infested some
10,000 acres in Idaho.
Another 7,500 acres are
being regulated because
they might also be infested.
That’s a tiny fraction of
the land growing potatoes
in Idaho — about 324,000
acres in 2015, according
to the USDA’s National
Agricultural
Statistics
Service. The agency says
Idaho led the nation in
2015 by producing 13 billion pounds of potatoes,
about 30 percent of the
nation’s potato crop, with
an estimated value of $900
million.
But fields infected with
the pale cyst nematode are
out of the potato growing
business.
“Anytime there’s a quarantine on a crop it has an
adverse economic impact
on the farmer that owns
the quarantined field,”
Myers said.
Specifically, the lawsuit
deals with the process of
how the quarantine was
put in place in Idaho. If
it’s successful in lifting the
quarantine, the pale cyst
nematode would still be
classified by in the U.S.
and some 30 countries as a
pest requiring quarantine.
It’s not clear how other
states or countries would
react if the lawsuit succeeds. Japan, for example,
still refuses to import Idaho
potatoes after the initial
discovery.
Bernie Sanders easily wins Idaho Democratic presidential caucus
BOISE, Idaho (AP) —
Bernie Sanders has won
Idaho’s Democratic presidential caucus — which
once again saw record
breaking voter turnout
even with its deep conservative stronghold.
Sanders and Democratic
front-runner
Hillary
Clinton were vying for the
state’s 27 delegates to the
party’s national convention
in Philadelphia this summer.
And while Idaho is one
of the most conservative
states in the nation, having
not voted for a Democratic
presidential
candidate
since Lyndon Johnson in
1964, Sanders actively
courted voters in the Gem
State in the days leading
up to the caucus. He had
campaign rallies in eastern
Idaho as well as Boise.
President
Barack
Obama handily won
the Democratic contest
in Idaho over Clinton in
2008.
Clinton had campaign
workers actively reaching
out to news media and
organizing grassroots support efforts; and Clinton
has tweeted about current
issues in Idaho including
legislation to prevent local
municipalities from raising the minimum wage.
Clinton also had several
state Democratic leaders
assisting with her campaign in Idaho, signaling
that much of the state’s
Democratic establishment
were ready to stand with
Clinton on Tuesday.
Sanders, meanwhile,
appeared Friday in Idaho
Falls, in eastern Idaho, a
particularly
conservative corner of the state
where most residents are
Mormon. On Monday,
Sanders appeared in Boise.
Sanders hoped to recreate the decisive win over
Clinton that Obama saw in
Idaho’s 2008 caucus.
That year the state’s
Democrats held the caucus on Super Tuesday, and
Obama spoke at a rally on
the Boise State University
campus the Saturday
before. Roughly 14,000
people turned out.
Morning News — Leslie Mielke
A crowd gathers at the Bingham County Democrat Caucus on Tuesday evening.
State Democratic Party
leaders said they saw a
repeat of record number of
caucus-goers this year.
Four of Idaho’s most
populated counties had to
make last-minute changes to expand or add new
caucus venues to accommodate the expected large
crowds.
Organizers in Kootenai
County, which includes
the city of Coeur d’Alene,
added a second caucusing site to ensure there’s
enough room for attendees. Bannock County officials moved their caucus
from Idaho State University
to a bigger venue.
Canyon County party
officials used more of their
venue — a local school
— than originally planned.
Ada County officials initially reserved a downtown
event center but ended up
reserving a sports arena next
door and the outdoor space
between the buildings.
“Interest in Idaho in
recent weeks has really
ramped up,” party spokesman Dean Ferguson said.
The Idaho Democratic
Party delayed the scheduled start time by nearly
two hours for its busiest
caucus site in Ada County
after overwhelming lines
of people in downtown
Boise waited to get in.
Once inside the caucus

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders was all
smiles on Friday, March 18 while speaking at Skyline High
School in Idaho Falls. He was no doubt happier last night
when he won the Idaho Caucus, defeating Hillary Clinton
handily.
location, dozens of Sanders
supporters sat cross-legged
on the floor, while chanting “We want Bernie.”
They faced multiple empty
seats for Clinton.
However, Frances West,
84, said she voted for
Clinton because it wasn’t
that long ago she was making less compared to the
men in her workplace.
“What she has done for
women is incredible,” she
said. “I am so proud of
her, I love Hillary. She is a
fighter.”
Boise Mayor Dave
Bieter threw his support
behind Clinton, but his
speech in front of Boise
voters was peppered with
Sanders supporters’ enthusiastic interruptions.
“The only thing I like
more than Democrats
cheering is Republicans
crying,” Bieter said.
Full
crowds
were
not expected in eastern
Idaho, which has a robust
Republican stronghold and
a high Mormon population. Ten counties east of
more liberal-leaning Ada
County had split into five
pairs to share caucus locations Tuesday.
Candidates must get at
least 15 percent of the participants to qualify for any
delegates.
Idaho bill to ban Palcohol
headed to Otter’s desk
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A bill prohibiting powdered alcohol in Idaho is headed to Gov. C. L.
“Butch” Otter’s desk after narrowly passing its final
legislative hurdle.
The ban prohibits the use, sale and possession of
powdered alcohol, marketed as Palcohol.
It cleared the Senate floor in a 17-16 vote
Tuesday.
The U.S. Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau approved
Palcohol’s product label in early 2015. However,
it’s not available on the market yet.
Dozens of other states have banned the substance preemptively because of its perceived dangers.
Director of the Idaho State Liquor Division Jeff
Anderson supported the ban, saying the substance
is dangerous because it’s small and can be easily
hidden. He says the product could be easily abused
by teenagers.
However, opponents say they are concerned
about over-regulation.
Idaho man sentenced to
life in child porn case
SHOSHONE, Idaho (AP) — A south-central
Idaho man convicted of sexually exploiting an
8-year-old girl by using her to produce sexually
explicit images has been sentenced to 130 years in
federal prison.
The U.S. attorney’s office in Boise also in an
announcement Tuesday says that 54-William Roger
Wilkinson must forfeit his former Shoshone home
and electronic equipment worth about $155,000
for restitution to the victim.
A jury convicted Wilkinson in October after a
five-day trial.
Authorities say evidence included images on a
desktop and laptop computer depicting Wilkinson
and the child engaging in sexually explicit conduct.
Public education budget
headed to governor’s desk
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Idaho’s public schools
funding proposal for fiscal year 2017 — the largest
share of the state’s budget — is headed to Gov. C.L.
“Butch” Otter’s desk.
Lawmakers have agreed to boost public school
funding by 6.8 percent, or $100.3 million. However,
other components of the K-12 budget plan have
also made their way through the House and Senate.
This means the total public education budget will
be 7.4 percent higher than the previous year.
The Senate unanimously approved the budget
proposal on Wednesday after it cleared the House
earlier this session with minimal opposition.
Otter has already expressed disappointment in
the proposed budget, but has not given indication
that he would consider a veto.
The public schools budget includes funding for
the second year of the teacher career ladder program, which is designed to steadily boost teacher
pay to retain and attract experienced teachers in
Idaho.
Medicaid expansion fails,
smaller efforts proposed
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Idaho lawmakers have
failed to finalize a proposal to expand Medicaid
eligibility that would appease the Republican
supermajority in the waning days of the legislative
session.
Instead, two minor proposals emerged
Wednesday to devote more resources to studying
the so-called Medicaid gap population. An estimated 78,000 Idaho residents are caught in a gap
where they neither qualify for health insurance
subsidies or Medicaid.
The first measure would create a legislative
working group to study the gap population. Gov.
C.L. “Butch” Otter has convened two similar
groups over the years that both endorsed Medicaid
expansion.
Meanwhile, the second proposal would approve
$5 million for a grant program to collect demographic and health data — as well as expand services — on Idaho’s gap population that use community health clinics.
Idaho woman killed in
Montana rollover crash
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Authorities have
released the name of a woman who was killed when
the SUV she was riding in crashed on Interstate 90
near Columbus in south-central Montana.
Stillwater County Sheriff and Coroner Cliff
Brophy identified the woman Tuesday as 53-yearold Kathleen Striffler, of Rexburg, Idaho.
According to the Montana Highway Patrol, a
68-year-old man from Rexburg fell asleep at the
wheel early Monday morning. He overcorrected,
causing the SUV to roll several times.
Striffler and a 23-year-old man were not wearing
their seat belts and were thrown from the SUV.

Quad Cities health care businesses will merge operations
MOSCOW,Idaho (AP) –
Moscow Family Medicine,
Lewiston Orthopaedics
and Lewiston’s Valley
Medical Center will begin
operating as one entity
later this year.
The owners of the three
physician-owned, for-profit health care businesses
have signed an agreement
to combine as a new forprofit company, Catalyst
Medical Group.
The
employees
of
all three companies are
expected to be retained,
along with their existing salaries and benefits,
Valley Medical Center
CEO David Schlactus said.
“No one can make a
promise five years out, but
that (reducing staff) is not
our intention,” Schlactus
said. “Our vision is to
grow the company, not
shrink it.”
Catalyst is owned by
the 28 physician-owners
of the three businesses
and led by a six-person
board of directors made
up of two physicians from
each partner business. Tim
Dykstra, a physician at
Valley Medical Center, has
been elected president of
the newly formed board.
Day-to-day operations
will be coordinated by the
three existing CEOs, Jeff
Geier of Moscow Family
Medicine; Cindy Keene of
Lewiston Orthopaedics;
and Schlactus.
The company will consist of 68 medical professionals - including physicians, nurse practitioners,
physician assistants and
certified nurse midwives and will employ more than
260 staff members across
six locations.
Other locations could
be added over time if other
clinics or doctors’ offices
choose to become part of
Catalyst, Schlactus said.
“We built Catalyst in a
way that other independent physician groups that
want to remain independent could decide whether joining Catalyst makes
sense for them,” he said.
The merger is intended
to make its partner companies more competitive
in the health care market,
Keene said. Operating as
one company will increase
collaboration among the
three entities’ health care
providers, she said, who
will share responsibilities
companywide.
“It was all three of us
wanting to come together
to make a stronger orga-
nization and improve the
health care system,” Keene
said. “At the foremost is
taking care of our patients.”
Schlactus said some
cooperation
between
Catalysts’ clinics has
already begun, though it
will likely be six to nine
months before the new
company is fully up and
running.
In an early example of
shared services, he said,
arrangements have been
made for Moscow Family
Medicine’s lab director to also oversee Valley
Medical Center’s lab when
Valley’s director retires in
the coming months.
“That’s a good way of
improving the collaboration and decreasing costs,”
Schlactus said.
Sharing providers and
services is expected to help
keep costs down, Schlactus
said, citing fewer duplications in services and better
access to resources such
as Lewiston Orthopaedics’
outpatient surgery center.
Initially, patients probably won’t notice a difference, he said. But eventually, he hopes patients will
see a more streamlined
system from one clinic to
another.
“We’re looking at consolidating some of our
computer systems and
sharing data much more
freely across our systems,”
he said.
The three businesses
that make up the new
company will continue to
operate with their current
brands, under the Catalyst
umbrella, Keene said.
“For right now, each
will retain their name,”
she said. “For example,
Moscow Family Medicine,
a division of Catalyst.”
Founded in 1972,
Lewiston Orthopaedics
specializes in bone, joint,
and muscle injuries and
conditions. In addition
to its main location in
Lewiston, it provides services at Moscow Family
Medicine and at St. Mary’s
Hospital and Clinic in
Cottonwood.
Valley Medical Center,
which opened in 1980,
offers services in 14 medical specialties with a main
location in Lewiston and
clinic in Clarkston.
Moscow
Family
Medicine, formed in 1983,
has clinics in downtown

Idaho Republicans retreat from Medicaid
expansion plan this legislative session
Homegrown harvest makes Stage
Stop truck stop a destination
BOISE (AP) – Idaho
House Republicans fell
back Wednesday from taking a significant step toward
addressing the health care
needs of 78,000 poor
Idahoans, instead pushing
forward two incremental
measures that critics labeled
“woefully inadequate” and
a needless delay.
The move came as the
Legislature rushes to complete its work for the year
and adjourn, and days after
the House appeared ready
to embrace much more
decisive action on health
care for the poor, support
for which collapsed over
the weekend.
The House Health &
Welfare committee on
Wednesday sent to the
House floor one bill to create a legislative committee
to study the needs of the socalled “gap” population —
those whose incomes are
too high to make them eligible for current Medicaid
and too low to allow them
to apply for subsidized
health insurance on the
state exchange.
A second bill provides
$5.4 million to help the
current health care system
collect more data on that
population and provide
nominal additional support for health services.
The move for more study
comes after two governorappointed task forces, in
2012 and 2014, recommended the state opt to
expand Medicaid as provided under the 2010
Affordable Care Act, but via
a federally-approved waiver
that lets the state modify
how the funding is applied.
Rep.
Lynn
Luker,
R-Boise, presenting the
measures on behalf of the
Republican house leadership, said the legislature “has not had its own
opportunity to sit down
and review all of that.”
Supporters on the committee acknowledged that
the action was less than
they wanted but the most
BOISE (AP) – On the
barren stretch of desert between Boise and
Mountain Home lies a
bounty of produce meticulously gridded across
2½ acres. Planter boxes
house melons, nearby
netted trellises protect
raspberries and strawberries from scavenging
birds, and the adjacent
field will soon be filled
with stalks of corn.
From Interstate 84, the
Stage Stop appears to offer
your average truck stop
amenities, but behind the
scenes it’s becoming a
fresh fruit and vegetable
haven, thanks to Adam
Villalobos, the Stop’s
general manager, and his
gardening partner, Laurie
Graham.
Years ago, Villalobos
got the idea to use some
of the land surrounding
the Stage Stop to add
some fresh options to the
restaurant’s menu. When
he first launched the garden in 2011, he took
direction from his daughter’s mother, whose work
at a local nursery offered
the basis of knowledge
that Villalobos needed to
raise tomatoes, cucumbers, jalapenos and tomatillos.
“It was a small garden,”
he says, “and I thought
that I had it made.”
It quickly became
apparent that the small
garden wasn’t going to
be enough for Villalobos’
ambitions. “As soon as the
harvest was all said and
done, we ran out immediately,” he says.
The next year, he tripled the number of crops
he planted. In the four
years that he’s been running the large garden,
Villalobos has fine-tuned
his planting to best fit the
restaurant’s needs.
“I’m still minus about
four months’ worth of
product that I need to
grow for this next year,”
he says. “So this year will
probably be the first year
they could achieve this
session. Referring the matter to a legislative committee delays meaningful
action on Idaho pursuing
a federal waiver for a statedriven custom Medicaid
expansion plan.
“I was hopeful that we
would maybe make a little
bit faster track, but at least
we’re still moving toward
finding the right solution:
a waiver here in Idaho that
would allow for managed
care,” said Rep. Kelley
Packer, R-McCammon.
Committee chairman
Rep. Fred Wood, R-Burley,
noted that conventional
Medicaid expansion as set
forth under Obamacare
was “never going to go
anywhere” in Idaho.
Under
a
proposal
that surfaced last week,
Idaho would have sought
approval for a managedcare health program for the
gap group using the state’s
fledgling performancebased, community-centered health care system
that moves away from the
fee-for-service model for
patient care.
“We were only going
to get to Medicaid expansion when we had a system where we could measure outcomes, we could
control costs, etc.,” Wood
said. “The fact is, we do
what we can do, and you
can’t get done what you
can’t get done.”
The committee’s two
Democrats
denounced
what they described as
another costly delay in
addressing the needs of the
gap population.
“We’re wasting money
and
we’re
exposing
Idahoans unnecessarily to
premature death,” said Rep.
John Rusche, D-Lewiston.
“Further delay with another study will not save lives,
will not save money, and
therefore I think it’s the
wrong decision.”
Rep. Brandon Hixon,
R-Caldwell, joined the
Democrats in opposing
the measures, calling them
“not a viable solution” for
the gap group or the state to
contain health care costs.
Both bills passed the
committee on an 8-3 vote,
moving directly to the
House for consideration
without further public testimony.
Health-care
system
representatives and state
health officials were
sharply critical. Expansion
would deliver new federal dollars to fund health
care for the gap group and
eliminate state and county
expenses for medical bills
when someone can’t pay.
Instead, the state is opting
to pay a little more into
a community-based health
network that already gets
federal funding, without
eliminating other costs.
“Ideologically,
they
oppose using state dollars to attract federal dollars to this state under a
Medicaid-expansion scenario, and yet today they
subsidized federally funded health care centers with
state dollars,”said Brian
Whitlock, Idaho Hospitals
Association president and
CEO. “All they’ve done is
make themselves a little
bit pregnant on this issue,
without addressing the real
needs that exist.”
He added: “The sad
thing is there are a majority
of members in the House of
Representatives that actually wanted to do something
substantive and meaningful this session, and rather
than do that they are doing
something that won’t even
make a dent.”
Health and Welfare
Department
Director
Richard Armstrong said the
Legislature had acknowledged that people in the
health care gap “are in
desperate shape, that
they are struggling,” but
that the action before the
House “doesn’t give me
the authority to begin the
waiver process with the
federal government.
that we’ll be completely
self-sustained in all the
vegetables.” That’s thanks
to 350 tomato plants —
up from 200 plants in
previous years — and a
whole host of flash-frozen
and dried veggies.
Now the homegrown
tomatoes,
peppers,
squash, corn and more are
featured in the restaurant’s
sauces, salsas, eggplant
parmesan and everything
in between, and the kitchen’s coffee grounds, eggshells and myriad other
compost items go right
back into the dirt to enrich
the crops.
In the years since
Villalobos launched his
fresh-food effort, his garden has boomed. He now
has plans for a hydroponic pond filled with tilapia, which will provide
even more nutrients for
the crops, as well as an inhouse stock of fish to cook
from. With his handyman
skills, he was able to build
the pond and pump setup
as well as a variety of
planter boxes and other
structures.
The massive growth
of the garden itself has
sparked
even
more
healthful opportunities at
the Stage Stop: a walking
trail that leads to the nearby Indian Creek Reservoir,
a farmers market packed
with fresh fruits and veggies for sale, and an aeroponic herb garden — a
dining room collection of
several 6-foot-tall herbladen towers that customers can check out (and
sometimes pinch a plant
or two from) after they eat.
“For any business to
start a garden, you have
to have a passion for it
in order to be successful,
because to get it started takes a lot of hours,”
Villalobos says.
The project’s benefits,
though, have been farreaching for the truck
stop.
With the added income
of the farmers market, and
with most of the initial
building costs of the garden finally out of the way,
the Stage Stop is breaking even on its growing
investment.

Boise State quarterbacks
challenge each other
Morning News — Jason Enes
A District 5 umpire watches Snake River’s Wyatt Vogler field a groundball during a game at Snake River High School
last week.
Commentary: Being an umpire
these days is a thankless job
By JASON ENES
sports@am-news.com
BLACKFOOT — Being
an umpire in baseball or
softball regardless of the
level of play is a thankless
job.
No matter how good
the call is, right or wrong
someone will inevitably
complain.
Umpires get blamed for
everything from the strike
zone, to an out call, to a
team losing a six-run lead
in the seventh inning. But
no matter the reason these
volunteers at the high
school level get abused by
players, coaches and fans
alike.
Sure these ladies and
gentlemen are getting a
paycheck for their work,
and yes they do have to go
through a certification program throughout the Idaho
High School Activities
Association. Does that
mean they always make the
right call? Of course not. It
also doesn’t give them the
right to be screamed at
for making what someone
thinks in the wrong call.
Over my 10-plus years
as a sports writer and
even in my days as an
athlete I saw many parents, players and coaches
go after umpires, fast forward almost 20 years and
unfortunately not much
has changed. In fact, it
may be worse now than it
used to be.
Almost every single
game I attend it is pretty
much guaranteed that I
will hear at least one comment from a parent about
a “horrible” call directed
towards an umpire. Players
come back multiple times
a game complaining about
being called out on a close
strike three and coaches
are always complaining
about getting the sort end
of the stick on a bang-bang
play.

a game last week.
were getting yelled at is
something to be expected.
OK outside of sports writer,
there aren’t many.
But I digress.
The point of this column came from some
events that happened last
Saturday in Blackfoot’s
doubleheader with Burley.
Now umpires are human
and like most humans are
prone to make mistakes,
so with that people are not
always going to like every
call from every umpire.
Sure the rules of baseball and softball are very
black and white, but how
each individual interprets
those rules is where things
get sticky
But before we get to
that lets rewind to Saturday
afternoon.
In the Broncos 3-2 loss
to Burley in game two of
their doubleheader the
Broncos had five different
calls go against them in the
loss and with each came
more and more frustration, but the umpires were
not to blame for all the
Broncos bad luck.
A check-swing third
strike was the first call,
there was a phantom no
tag-up on a fly ball and
then there was a missed
out call on a bang-bang
play at third base. And
while one or two of the
calls that went against the
Broncos were legitimate
and the Broncos easily had
a beef, the others we pretty
clear, at least to me.
I played baseball for 15
years and umpired hundreds of the games, albeit not at the high school
level, but as an umpire
you need to stand behind
the call that was made. The
umpires Saturday did not.
In fact they spent more
time talking with the Burley
head coach in-between
innings then explaining the
rational behind the calls
with the Broncos coaches.
Blackfoot head coach
Liam Pope was furious
after the late-game calls
and with good reason his
team was behind. It was
the reactions from some
people in the crowd however that were a bit more
harsh.
And while I won’t
repeat here some of things
I heard that afternoon, if
you have been to a baseball game in your life, you
have probably heard it
before.
crowd excited to the see
the 22-year-old return to
familiar ground.
“It’s fantastic,” Spieth
said about his return to his
college town. “I’m in love
with Austin. It’s maybe my
favorite city in the world.”
Like the rest of the field,
Spieth is trying to fine-tune
his game for the Masters in
two weeks. He won there
last year with a four-stroke
victory over Phil Mickelson
and Justin Rose. And he’ll
stay another week in Texas
for the Houston Open
before heading to Augusta.
Despite his world ranking and one victory already
this season, Spieth hasn’t
finished better than a tie
for 17th in his last four
tournaments and missed
the cut last month at the
Northern Trust Open.
Spieth’s win Wednesday
was decisive, even if it
wasn’t always crisp. He
charged into the round,
winning four of the first
seven holes against his
Welsh opponent who
was one of the stars in
the Europeans’ 2014 Ryder
Cup victory.
“I played the first seven
holes or so perfectly. That’s
pretty commanding. I was
very pleased with that,”
Spieth said. “I didn’t back
down, I kept hitting driver.
I kept on going for stuff,
almost too much

Country course he frequently played during
his year and a half at the
University of Texas, Spieth
heard plenty of “Hook’em
Horns!” cheers and highfived a toddler in the home
The sad thing about the
events of Saturday was
once the umpires made
a bad call, they were all
bad, and that’s sad considering the game prior
they, I thought were pretty good.
Believe me I have seen
many, many bad performances by umpires in
my life at every level,
but as I get older and I
attend more and more
games it appears like
the calls and the reactions to the calls are
getting worse.
Is there a solution for
this? In my eyes yes there
is. Be mindful of what you
say, it will make things
better for all who attend
games.
But that’s just my two
cents.
496 W
Hwy 39
BOISE, Idaho (AP) —
Vying for the upper hand,
gunning to maintain the
No. 1 spot, it’s nothing
new for Boise State quarterbacks Brett Rypien and
Ryan Finley.
“We’re really good
friends. We do a lot together. We go golfing together,
always playing pool together, just always competing,”
said Rypien, a sophomore.
“You name it, anything,
shuffleboard, it doesn’t
matter,” added Finley, a
junior. “If it’s scored, then
we compete at it.”
On the practice field,
they’re after the same
thing: the starting job.
Coach Bryan Harsin
said before spring practices
began that Rypien remains
the starter, but Finley will
get his opportunities after
yielding the job to Rypien
when he broke his ankle in
the third game last season.
“Brett’s handling it great.
So is Finley,” quarterbacks
coach and co-offensive
coordinator Zak Hill said.
“They’re both battling, having a good time with it. ...
Everybody wants reps — I
want reps — but obviously
you’ve got to do a good
job on the sideline getting
mental reps.”
For Finley, it could be an
awkward situation, losing
the starting job to a younger player, then returning
from injury and being the
backup again. After Rypien
threw for 3,353 yards and
20 touchdowns to eight
interceptions in 11 games,
Finley said he gave no
thought to finding another
place to play.
“It’s about the unit. It’s about
making each other better,”
Finley said. “I love Boise State.
This is where I want to be.”
Rypien said once he
took over as the starter, and
while Finley was rehabbing his injury, “he was
really helpful to me” in the
film room, on the practice
field and after games.
“It wasn’t easy for me,
but it helped, I think, that
Brett and I are so close.
We’re such good friends off
the field,” Finley said. “I was
very happy for Brett and
how he was playing, and I
was focused on getting back
at the same time.”
Two weeks into spring
practices, the pecking
order hasn’t changed, with
Rypien often getting the
first snaps, working with
the No. 1 offense. But
Harsin said he’s making
it a point to mix Rypien,
Finley and junior Tommy
Stuart with different combinations on the offensive
line or at the skill positions
to give them all slightly
new things to work on.
“It’s exactly how they
described it. They’re not
worried about who is
going with the first team or
the second team that day.
They’re just out there competing, trying to get better as a player. ... They’re
doing a great job,” junior
tight end Jake Roh said.
As Rypien and Finley push
one another, both are focusing on improving different
aspects of their games.
For Rypien, he’s working on mechanical issues he
noticed while reviewing his
games from last season.
“My big focus this
spring is being more accurate with my deep ball,
getting on the same page
with all our guys, making
sure if a guy comes in he
knows what he’s doing so
we don’t have any issues
if a guy gets hurt,” he said.
For Finley, who completed 65.7 percent of
his passes for 485 yards
with one touchdown to
four interceptions, it’s
“just being more decisive.
Looking back, I think you
can always prepare better,
could’ve got more prepared
for the looks I was going
to see. Thinking about
that BYU game (where he
threw three interceptions),
some costly turnovers, just
the importance of taking
care of the ball.”
Even if the depth chart
holds with Rypien the
starter and Finley behind
him, the Broncos feel the
competition will improve
both, along with Stuart, the
most mobile of the group,
who Harsin said “had his
best offseason.”

Dear Annie: This evening, I went to the local
YMCA to swim. When I
was through, I showered,
as I always do, since I go
back to work afterward.
Near the end of the shower, I removed my swimsuit and found a boy of
about 8 looking through
the curtain at me. I yelled
at him and he stopped,
but a few seconds later, a
woman (I think it was his
grandmother) looked in,
too. I told her I'd like just a
few more minutes, and I'll
admit, my tone wasn't that
friendly. I got out of the
shower and locker room
as fast as I could.
Annie, that boy was too
old to be in the women's
locker room. My question
is, was I out of line for
showering in the nude in
a public locker room? This
particular shower had four
nozzles, so I assume other
people would feel free to
share the space, even if
the curtain was closed.
But both the boy and the
older woman were not
showering. They were just
peeking in. That strikes me

DEAR DOCTOR K: In a
recent column you said that
doctors are not trying to lower
blood sugar as much as they
used to in people with diabetes.
My husband’s doctor always
tells him that “lower is better”
when it comes to his blood
sugar. Can you explain?
Ask Doctor K
DEAR READER: When I
was in medical school, and for
many years thereafter, “lower
is better” was what doctors
believed. We knew that people
with diabetes could develop
severe, even fatal, complications if their blood sugar got
very high. Plus, we had powerful blood-sugar-lowering treatments available.
On the other hand, there
was a limit to “lower is better.” Too much of a good
thing could be a bad thing:
Overtreatment could push
blood sugars too low -- dangerously low. Sustained very
low blood sugar can produce
confusion, coma and death. So
we measured blood sugars frequently, with the goal of having
blood sugar as low as it could
go without causing bothersome
symptoms.
That was the goal because
studies many years ago had
shown that such “intensive
treatment” reduced some types
of complications of diabetes.
Doctors speak of two types of
complications of diabetes, both
involving blood vessels. The first
is disease of small blood vessels
(called microvascular complications), which affects the eyes,
kidneys and nerves. The second
is disease of the large blood
vessels (called macrovascular
complications), which causes
heart disease, strokes and
peripheral artery disease.
An analysis of the strongest
type of studies, randomized
trials, involving nearly 35,000
people with diabetes, found
that intensive treatment had a
benefit: It led to a more than
10 percent reduction in small
blood vessel complications.
I assumed, as did most doctors I know, that if intensive
treatment lowered small blood
vessel complications, then it
would also lower large blood
vessel complications. However,
over the past 40 years, the evidence on that score has been
quite mixed.
Many studies show that people with higher blood sugars are
more likely to have large blood
vessel complications, such as
heart attacks and strokes. So

You should register a
complaint with the facility. There are likely rules
regarding the age of opposite-sex children using the
locker rooms, and you
should ask that they be

have any restrictions, you
should find a place to
swim that affords you the

it difficult to regain ground.
Nurture what you have and
eliminate what isn’t working for
you.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov.
23-Dec. 21) -- You should concentrate on your home, family and what you know and
do best. Personal changes will
enhance your relationship with
loved ones and friends, and
position you for greater popularity and success.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- Don’t give in to emotional
instability. Stick close to home
and take care of matters that will
add to your personal security.
Nurture important relationships
and make home improvements.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) -- Observe how others
respond to you. Protect your
property and don’t lend or borrow money or possessions.
Look for professional opportunities that will increase your
income or reputation. Don’t
neglect your health.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- Money matters must not be
ignored. Overspending will
lead to unnecessary stress. Back
away from anyone asking for
too much and offering too little.
Moderation should be your
goal.
you might think that intensive
lowering of blood sugar would
reduce the rates of large blood
vessel complications. But that’s
not necessarily true.
The way to see if it is true is
through large, randomized trials. In these studies, some people with diabetes (chosen at
random) were given intensive
treatment that kept their blood
sugars very low. Others were
treated less intensively and had
higher blood sugars. These studies all have abbreviated names.
The best known are VADT,
ACCORD and ADVANCE.
Unfortunately, these trials
did not demonstrate a benefit
from intensive treatment compared to less intensive treatment. And more patients in the
intensive treatment group have
suffered from the complications of blood sugar that is too
low. Worst of all, in one of the
studies (ACCORD), the rates of
premature death from heart disease and from all causes were
actually higher in the intensive
treatment group. Too much of
a good thing might have been
fatal. One possible reason is
that the low blood sugar may
have triggered a dangerous
heart rhythm.
So, while lowering blood
sugar with treatment definitely
improves health, there are limits. Today I and many other doctors do not treat blood sugar as
intensively as we used to.
