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 at Blackfoot High School. 250 off First 3 Months!!!

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. “I wanted to do some- Rooms Available!!!

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 Mason Wells 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.

Local students build cities of the future By LESLIE MIELKE lmielke@am-news.com BLACKFOOT — Welcome to the TRI cities— Turquoise Cove, Royal Blue Beach and Indigo Haven— at Blackfoot Charter Community Learning Center (BCCLC) in Blackfoot. They showed off their handiwork on Wednesday. The 70 second graders have spent the last six or seven weeks designing, building and placing these cities. “This is the first year we’ve had a beach,” said second grade teacher Katrina Elliott. “Each student wrote a paper about his or her part in the city. They wrote a paper about the city council and were divided into committees for Planning & Zoning to decide what goes where. “They have strong opinions and good ideas,” she said. “Each student worked with a partner,” Elliott said. fight. —Always try our best. —Try as hard as you can. —Make sure the windows are level. Blackfoot Mayor Paul Loomis encouraged the kids to stay involved in their community. “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?” TRI cities have an airport, Morning News — Leslie Mielke hospital, fire house, courtAustyn Lack points out his part of the city project house and mayor’s mansion at Blackfoot Charter Community Learning Center on with a veranda and restauWednesday. rants, to name a few structures. “Building a city is a rite of to: passage around here.” —Work as a team.

Incumbent gardeners have until April 8 to fill out the renewal form and return it to city hall with their payment for chosen plot. “Items grown in the garden can be used at home, given away to friends or donated,” said City financial employee Elisa Oats. “Items grown cannot be sold.” See GARDEN, 2A 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 See PEST, 3A Riverbend Rentals Auto Rental Service 785-2340 Powell’s Body SHop & ToWing (208)785-4040 State-of-the-Art detail Shop!

He also wanted to reapply to the Naval Local Weather Thu 51/30 3/24 Mostly cloudy and windy with showers developing later in the day. High 51F. Winds SW at 25 to 35 mph. Chance of rain 40%. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph. Fri 43/24 3/25 Afternoon showers. Highs in the low 40s and lows in the mid 20s. Sat 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 U.” am-news.com MorningNews Merritt – Wood Hal and Connie Merritt of Blackfoot, Idaho annouce the upcoming marriage of their daughter, Jean Merritt, to Michael Lambson Wood, son of David and Sharon Wood of West Jordan,Utah, on Thursday, March 24, 2016 in the Draper, Utah LDS Temple.

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.

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. (Contact Jim Mullen at JimMullenBooks.com.) To the Editor: On February 29, 2016, SEICAA (SouthEastern Idaho Community Action Agency) held their 12th 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. Sincerely, Traci Hebdon, SEICAA Bingham Co.

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. “How did people post on Snapchat and Instagram?” kids today might ask.

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 Morning News — Greg Eichelberger 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. 6A Thursday, March 24, 2016 HEALTH am-news.com MorningNews 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 Moscow, Gritman Medical Park in west Moscow and on the University of Idaho campus. 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.

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. Name another position Morning News — Jason Enes A District 6 umpire watches while Blackfoot’s Hadlie Henderson throws a pitch during 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 Jordan Spieth off to good start in Austin return AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The top-ranked player in the world and No. 1 seed in the Dell Match Play, Jordan Spieth still needed a boost after a recent dip in form. He got a good one Wednesday with a 3-and2 victory over Jamie Donaldson in their roundrobin opener at Austin Country Club. Navigating the windy, undulating Texas Hill 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.” The Perfect Fit?

GarfieLd tHe HorriBLe for Better MorningNews 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 Personal pressure will mount if you are indecisive. Controlling your emotions will be necessary if you want to be taken seriously.

However, no one should be peeking in just to see what's going on, and you are right that an 8-year-old boy is too old to be checking out the women's locker room.

Losing control of a personal situation will make 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 Dr. Anthony Komaroff said about the showers.) 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 enforced. If they do not have any restrictions, you should find a place to swim that affords you the privacy you require.

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.
