Record Distribution to Idaho's Public Schools Ned Burns Appointed To

The Governor presented a Christmas gift to our public schools with a record-setting, giant check to the Superintendent of Public Instruction and Capital High School students of the Capital Singers, representing the money distributed to Idaho's public schools this school year. The distribution for fiscal year 2022 for public schools is $54,798,000, which is more than $2 million than the previous year. Total distributions to all beneficiaries in FY22 total $88,076,500, with 62% going to the public school beneficiaries. The distributions are the result of increased endowment land revenue combined with revenue from investments. "Through timber harvest and excellent endowment land management practices, along with prudent investing, we are proud to be able to give Idaho public schools this record amount of funding," said Idaho Governor Brad Little. "This speaks to the commitment of the Idaho Department of Lands staff and the Endowment Fund Investment Board who are committed and work hard on behalf of our children and the other beneficiaries. It also shows the Land Board's commitment to education and the school children of Idaho." "These endowment distribution funds are critical to Idaho schools to support and improve our state education system," said Superintendent of Public Instruction Sherri Ybarra. "We want to thank our educators for their hard work and dedication this year and hope they recognize the Land Board's commitment to continue these distributions to schools with our ongoing prudent management of endowment land assets and investments." The Land Board has approved an increase in distributions for FY23, with a 12% increase for public schools and an overall increase of 14%. There are nine endowment beneficiary funds that include Idaho's public schools, universities, state hospitals for the mentally ill and charitable institutions such as the state veterans homes, the Idaho School for the Deaf and Blind and Idaho's juvenile corrections system. The Land Board is comprised of the Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, Controller, and Superintendent of Public Schools.

Idaho's First Influenza Related Death in Gooding

A Gooding County man older than 65 years of age has been reported as the first influenza-related death of the 2021-22 season. "The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare is reminding residents that flu is here, and it can be very serious" said Dr. Leslie Tengelsen, Idaho influenza surveillance coordinator. "Influenza activity had been detected in Idaho and across the country ahead of the holiday season. With both influenza and the virus that causes COVID-19 circulating this season, we are concerned that the risk to Idahoans for both infections will increase as families and friends gather for the holidays. One important prevention measure to reduce serious respiratory illness for Idahoans is to get an annual influenza vaccine." Everyone over six months of age should get an annual influenza vaccine. Getting the vaccine every year is especially important for people at higher risk for serious flu-related complications including people with chronic health conditions, pregnant women, young children, and anyone 65 years of age or older. continued on page 3...

changes in about every aspect of our lives. I say, maybe I don't want to change! Everyone says things must change! With that I kind of believe... the more things change, the more they stay the same. Of course, this is a hard way to believe when you have CORE values that you have stuck to and used all your life. Then you get people who don't respect themselves or you either. By the end of the day it is about who has the most marbles; not the value of each, how you got them, or even why you need them. Every year people make resolutions at the last week or the last hour of the year, to do something for the next year. In about two to four weeks, most all those resolutions are gone or broken. Resolutions or goals should be done throughout the whole year instead of just a few weeks. A little more success in the resolutions will happen. Small resolutions can help master the larger ones. This helps to keep and not break resolutions. I don't make resolutions because I don't like to break things. Do you know how hard it is to replace all your dishes every year??? I have found that doing resolutions more often, it is easier than waiting all year to

make all the New Year Resolutions in just a few hours. Besides, it's depressing two weeks later when they didn't work. There is enough to be depressed about in winter other than one's short comings. One doesn't need to be depressed in they are prepared to deal with things we can not change. I decided to start my new year around the first day of winter. I have got to enjoy Christmas and nature's beauty given to me during December and early January. Instead of dread, I am looking forward. Even as I passed through Mackay, Idaho, on Christmas Eve, I enjoyed a moment at the gas pumps whereas everyone dreads that stop. At Sammys, they gave a customer appreciation day with 30 cents off a gallon of gasoline, and 3 cents more for cash. That was a nice gesture to kick off a new year of even to finish of an old one. Resolutions are basic actions we take to resolve, or I should say, re solve our situations. It may mean change. It may mean staying the same. It may mean the more it changes the more it stays the same. Whatever the case, I hope, if you have made a New Year's Resolution, you are able to keep them, share them, or give them more thought to do more throughout the year and not less. Happy New Year! This is my cup of fresh brewed "Tee".

"If you steal property, you must report its fair market value in your income in the year you steal it unless you return it to its rightful owner in the same year," according to the IRS. Also, "Income from illegal activities, such as money from dealing illegal drugs, must be included in your income on Schedule 1 (Form 1040), line 8z, or on Schedule C (Form 1040) if from your self-employment activity." For politicians, "If you receive a bribe, include it in your income," says the IRS. Regarding the question of whether "you can keep your stolen stuff, if you report it," your local sheriff's office is the best place to get that information. For everyone, regardless of how you generated your income, it's always better to file early instead of waiting till the last minute.

"It can take up to two weeks for vaccines to take full effect, so it's important you get your vaccine as soon as possible." Talk to your healthcare provider or pharmacist to determine which flu vaccine is best for you. Influenza is a contagious virus that causes respiratory illness typically between October and May and impacts 5 to 20 percent of the population every season. Symptoms of the flu include fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, body aches, headache, chills, or fatigue. Although most people who get the flu recover after a few days, some people may develop serious complications and even die. During recent influenza seasons, an average of 34 influenza-related deaths occurred in Idaho residents each season, with most deaths among people over 65 years of age. Vaccinating yourself and your loved ones against influenza, as well as taking additional precautions to prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, such as COVID-19, will help protect yourself and others.
