City of Shoshone Seeks Revenue Bond for Water System
On November 2nd, residents of Shoshone will have an opportunity to vote on a $4.372 million revenue bond to upgrade the city’s municipal water system. An engineering assessment of the water system was completed two years ago. The study identified multiple violations that need to be corrected, as well as vital improvements that are necessary to improve system efficiencies. The revenue bond aims to address these issues by upgrading the water system and bringing it into regulatory compliance. Many items are fundamental in ensuring the proper functioning of the city’s water system in case of an emergency such as a major power outage or fire. A list of improvements would include: • Updating three well pumps through the addition of Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) to increase pump and system efficiency. • Purchasing two new backup generators to ensure functionality of the water system during a power outage. • Installing new water meters to more accurately monitor water use and assist with conservation efforts. • Increasing water storage from the current 79,000 gallons to the necessary 400,000 gallons for fire protection. • Installing a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system to modernize the city’s water system and alert maintenance crews of issues. • Upgrading outdated and dilapidated distribution lines. “No major water system improvements have been undertaken in Shoshone since the 1970’s,” explained Shoshone City Mayor Dan Pierson. “This will be a simple majority vote where citizens will have the opportunity to either vote in favor of or against the bond.” If the bond is approved, residents of Shoshone should expect to pay an approximate increase of the current bill by $9 per month for the first year. That monthly rate would increase by $18 for the second year and then by $27 for the third year, where it would remain for the remaining life of the bond, which is anticipated to be 40 years. “If it passes, the city will also seek federal and state assistance to supplement the bond,” said Pierson. Offering a bond election allows residents to engage in a process that will have long term benefits for the city. If a majority does not vote to approve the bond on November 2, the City of Shoshone may pursue judicial approval to proceed with water improvements that are needed to bring the system into regulatory compliance. Although no timelines will be defined until the results of the election are verified, should the bond pass, residents could see improvements beginning as early as Spring 2023. To learn more about this bond election, residents are encouraged to attend a public meeting that will be hosted by the City of Shoshone on Wednesday October 27, 2021 at 7 p.m. at the Lincoln County Community Center - 201 S Beverly, Shoshone.

Open Enrollment for Health Insurance Begins November 1st
Open Enrollment for health insurance is just one week away. Beginning November 1, Idahoans who do not have coverage through their employer and don’t qualify for Medicaid or Medicare, can enroll in 2022 medical and dental coverage through Your Health Idaho, the state’s health insurance exchange. Your Health Idaho will offer a record number of plans this open enrollment period with the addition of two new insurance carriers. Molina Healthcare of Idaho and EMI Health will offer plans on-exchange for the first time, giving Idahoans more choice than ever before. “This is an exciting year for Your Health Idaho and our customers,” said Your Health Idaho executive director, Pat Kelly. “Not only do we have two new insurance carriers and a record number of plans, but Idahoans are also seeing more savings than ever before thanks to the enhanced subsidies that are only available through Your Health Idaho.” The enhanced subsidies, also known as tax credits, have been in place since March 2021. Many Idahoans who were not previously eligible may now qualify for a tax credit, which acts like an instant discount, and significantly lowers monthly premium payments. For example, a family of four in Ada County with an annual income of $85,000 could get covered with a base plan for $0 per month. Likewise, a married couple in their 50s from Bonneville County making $55,000 could get covered with a mid-level plan for less than $300 per month. “Many of our customers once believed finding affordable health insurance was simply not an option for them,” said Kelly. “Now with the enhanced subsidies, many Idahoans are finding health insurance to be more affordable than ever. If you weren’t eligible in previous years, it’s time to check again.” Idaho’s 45-day Open Enrollment period ends Dec. 15. Your Health Idaho is urging Idahoans not to wait until the last minute to apply. For Idahoans who are unsure about how to enroll or determine if they qualify for a tax credit, Your Health Idaho recommends working with an insurance agent or broker. These experts are certified by Your Health Idaho and their services are available for free. A list of certified agents and brokers is available online at YourHealthIdaho.org Idahoans can preview 2022 plans and prices at YourHealthIdaho.org to get an idea of what coverage is available and what they can expect to pay for the coming year.

Annamarie Jimenez
Annamarie Jimenez, 62, a resident of Jerome, Idaho, passed away on Wednesday October 13, 2021 at her home with her family by her side. She was such a strong independent hardworking, loving lady. There are so many families and friends that cherished her and looked up to her. She fought a long hard battle with her cancer. She never let anything get her down. She always had such high spirits. Annamarie was born on March 1, 1959 in San Jose, California, the daughter of Mary Lewis Tapia and Pascasio Jimenez. She had three brothers (Ricky, Moe, Leonard) and three sisters (Ebbie, Connie, Brenda). She had lots of nieces and nephews that she loved dearly. She lived in San Jose, California until she moved to Jerome, and that is where she laid down her roots to raise her family. Annamarie started a job working at Spears shortly after moving to Jerome with her family. She worked Swing shift making various parts at Spears as a lead for about 29 years. She took her job at spears serious, she always made sure the machines were running right and that things were getting done the right way. She made some lifelong friends working there. Annamarie was one who always had her door open for anyone when they needed a place to stay, she always had food to offer to you. She could carry on a conversation with you for hours and hours. She would make you feel a sense of security and calmness when you were in the presences of her home. When it came to her children and grandchildren, she always put them first. She loved being anywhere that they would be, whether it be fishing, swimming, BBQ, anywhere family was she wanted to be. She loved buying funny beanies she could wear. One of her favorite holidays was Halloween, she absolutely loved dressing up all scary. Annamarie was survived by: her sons - Miguel (Angelina) Cruz and Pablo (Jenna) Cruz of Jerome; her daughters – Michelle Cruz of Jerome and Stephine Quinonez of California. She has 16 grandchildren and she also has greatgrandchildren as well and many others who called her mom. Annamarie was preceded in death by: her son - Steven (Wimpy) Quinonez; her father - Pascasio Jimenez; her nephew - Pascasio (Indio) Jimenez. She is also greeted by many family members that have passed before her. They say there is a reason, they say that time will heal, but neither time nor reason, Will change the way we feel. For no-one knows the heartache, that lies behind our smile. No-one knows how many times we have broken down and cried. Gone from home that smiling face, those cheerful, happy ways, the heart that won so many friends, In bygone, happy days. We want to tell you something, so there will not be any doubt, you are so wonderful to think of, but so hard to be without. We cannot bring the old days back, when we are all together, the family chain is broken now, but memories live forever. WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND WILL MISS YOU DEARLY LADY!
Funeral services were held on Tuesday, October 19, 2021, at Demaray Funeral Service – Wendell Chapel. Funeral services will conclude at the chapel with cremation arrangements to follow.

Vandalism at Hagerman Rest Area
Due to a recent string of vandalism, the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) has closed the Hagerman Rest Area until further notice. Within the last month, three separate incidents have resulted in substantial damage to the facility located south of Hagerman on US-30. “Our toilets, sinks and mirrors have been both stolen and destroyed beyond repair in the men’s and family assistance restrooms,” said Shawn Webb, ITD’s South-Central Idaho Facility Manager. “While we don’t yet know the exact cost of this damage, we know it will be thousands of dollars to repair.” The lawn was also damaged after a vehicle drove on the grass and destroyed landscaping. “Our crews work hard to maintain the rest areas provided for convenience to the public,” stated Webb. “When we have not only one, but multiple incidents such as this, it is very disheartening.” ITD is exploring the possibility of placing portable toilets in the area to offset the negative impacts this vandalism and subsequent closure have caused the traveling public. ITD is working with the Gooding County Sheriff’s Office, which is investigating these incidents. ~ Legal Notices ~ Legal Notices ~
