Facing Medicare Part B penalty? Equitable Relief option available through June 2020
The Social Security Administration (SSA) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMA) have extended equitable relief for people enrolled in Medicare and the state marketplace. Medicare beneficiaries who became eligible for and enrolled in Medicare Part A while also enrolled in a state marketplace, such as Your Health Idaho, may be eligible for equitable relief, giving them an opportunity to enroll in Medicare Part B without a penalty. CMS is offering assistance to eligible individuals who were dually enrolled in Medicare Part A and coverage through an Exchange plan and subsequently enrolled in Part B with a penalty after their initial enrollment period. This assistance provides individuals an opportunity to request a reduction in their Part B late enrollment penalty. The Idaho Department of Insurance office of Senior Health Insurance Benefits Advisors (SHIBA) is available to help Medicare beneficiaries. “This specific equitable relief is only available until June 30, 2020,” said Shannon Hohl, SHIBA Supervisor. “SHIBA cannot determine eligibility, but we encourage Medicare beneficiaries to contact us for help in understanding this option and how to apply for it.” Anyone who believes they may be eligible for equitable relief should contact Social Security at 800-772-1213 or visit their local Social Security office and request to take advantage of equitable relief. Individuals must provide documentation reflecting their enrollment in a Your Health Idaho plan for individuals and families. Consumers with questions about this or other Medicare issues are encouraged to contact SHIBA at 800-247-4422.

Idaho FFA Students Win Top Rangeland Honors
Fifteen FFA chapters and 68 high school students from across Idaho, Nevada, Utah and Washington tested their knowledge of rangeland management in the Western National Rangeland Career Development Event, November 11 & 12 in Elko, NV. Idaho teams and individuals took top honors. Team awards recognized Hagerman FFA (1st Place), Wells FFA, Nevada (2nd Place), and Gooding FFA (3rd Place). Top individuals were Logan Ballard – Wells, Nevada (1st place and “Top Hand”), Kinley Whitmarsh – Hagerman (2nd), Jacob Flick – Gooding (3rd), and Bryce Pose and Ryan Nelson (4th and 5th) – Hagerman. “This career event is designed to mimic standards commonly used in the rangeland management profession. Students get hands-on experience with skills and scenarios they may encounter later as working professionals,” said Dr. April Hulet, rangeland extension specialist at the University of Idaho. Rangelands comprise nearly half of western North America, making their proper use and management vitally important to communities and economies in western states. “There are far more jobs than students who graduate with professional range degrees. This is a great profession and we want to identify students who want to work outside to manage these lands for wildlife, livestock, or to restore rangelands and perhaps manage fuel loads to reduce wildfire risk,” said Dr. Paul Meiman, rangeland professor at the University of Nevada-Reno. The event was coordinated by the Western National Rangeland Education Association dedicated to raising awareness of career opportunities in rangeland conservation and management. Sponsors of the event included the Idaho Rangeland Resources Commission, Idaho Section Society for Range Management, Public Lands Foundation, and rangeland degree programs from the University of University of Idaho, University of Nevada-Reno, and Montana State University. Students competed for awards by learning to identify 81 common rangeland plants, measuring vegetation attributes for livestock and wildlife habitat, calculating an appropriate stocking rate, considering grazing management options and estimating the cost of habitat improvements. “The event really prepares students with rangeland skills including real world math,” noted Emily Hale, a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) employee who assisted the team from Omak, WA. Several rangeland professionals joined students in the field to describe how the skills they have learned are put into practice. Representatives from natural resource agencies and organizations, including the BLM, Forest Service, and Elko County, described their job duties. Universities offering rangeland degrees, including the University of Idaho, University of Nevada-Reno, and Montana State University helped students explore college degrees that lead to careers on the range.

...but never Compromising the Truth.
obit ua r ies Warren H. Cawelti Jr., 77, of Hagerman, Idaho, passed away Monday, October 28, 2019 peacefully at his home after a short, valiant battle with pancreatic cancer surrounded by loved ones. He remained optimistic and lived one day at a time. He will be greatly missed by all those that knew him. Warren was born October 4, 1942, in Long Beach, California to Warren H. Cawelti and Camille B. Shutt. The family moved to Vista, California when Warren was two years old. At the age of three his mother remarried and they moved to Montana for a year before resettling in Vista, California. Warren’s first year of school was spent in a Catholic School. Later he attended the Vista School District where he attended elementary school and graduated from Vista High School in May 1961. Growing up Warren loved the outdoors, riding his bike to and from Long Beach, hiking, hunting and helping in the avocado orchard on his great grandparents’ place. After graduation, Warren tried a few odd jobs in California and Oregon before he decided to join the military because no one would hire him due to lack of military service. He joined the United States Air Force in January 1962 in Phoenix, Arizona. He was stationed at the Mt. Home AFB, Mt. Home, Idaho, Sewart AFB in Smyrna, Tennessee, and served one TDY at Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage, Alaska. Warren received an Honorable Discharge in October 1966 after four years and nine months of service. While Warren was stationed at Mt. Home AFB, a friend introduced him to Darlene Patterson of Eagle, Idaho. They dated briefly and wed in March 1964. A son Perry (1965) and daughter Monica (1970) were a blessed result of this union. After his service, Warren worked at a trailer factory in Boise, Idaho for a short time. In April 1968, he began a 39 year career with the Idaho Power Company. The family lived at several sites along the southern section of the Snake River before moving to the Hagerman Valley in 1977, where they raised their family.
Warren H. Cawelti Jr.
Warren instilled in his children to work hard in life to achieve their goals. He passed on his strong work ethic, that safety was always number one, and a firm handshake spoke volumes about a person’s character. Warren was very involved and supportive of the many activities his children participated in: Boy Scout activities, especially the white-water rafting trip on the Salmon River, hunting and fishing with Perry, watching many football games and other sports, 4-H projects, dance recitals and cheerleading with Monica. Warren loved his grandchildren and great-granddaughter. Warren and Darlene were able to attend all five grandchildren’s High School graduations and other special occasions. He relished these times and the memories made. Warren anticipated the arrival of his first great-granddaughter June, and although he didn’t meet her in person, he met her on face time. From such a young age, Warren showed an interest in birds of prey. Over the years he achieved the title of Master Falconer. He belonged to the North American Falconers Association and enjoyed reading the Hawk Chalk magazine and keeping up to date with the falconry community. Throughout the years, Warren and Darlene visited Japan, Germany, Mexico and thirty-four of the fifty States while sight seeing and visiting family. All of these trips hold great memories, adventures and stories. In retirement, Warren enjoyed the early morning coffee group at the Shell Station in Hagerman, attending the CSI over sixty and fit class at the old Hagerman School Gym, going to the Senior Center for lunch and social interaction, keeping track of the birds of prey in the area, and keeping busy with various indoor and outdoor honey-do projects. While attending church, Warren served as an usher and made coffee for fellowship hour. His presence will be dearly missed by family and friends. Warren was a private, kind, patient and frugal person and was content to stay at home watching his special programs on the PBS Channel. He was also an avid reader of the newspaper, Time, Money, Kiplinger’s and other magazines. He especially enjoyed being with his family. Warren and Darlene attended a family reunion in Boise in July 2019.

He was very reasoned in conversation and always meant what he said and was articulate with his words. He encouraged lively debates. He was an avid walker and his daily goal was to achieve 10,000 steps on his 3D Fit Bit he kept in his pocket. Warren is survived by his loving wife Darlene (of 55 years); his children Perry (Aurora) Cawelti of Knob Noster, Missouri and Monica (Tim) Leonard of Baltimore, Maryland. His grandchildren, Gerald Cawelti of Warrensburg, Missouri, Kristel Cawelti of Knob Noster, Missouri, Katherine Cawelti of Knob Noster, Missouri, Hayley (Drew) Parsley of Dallas, Texas, and Nathan Leonard of Santa Monica, California. One great-granddaughter, June Parsley of Dallas, Texas. Two sisters-in-law and their spouses, numerous nieces and nephews. Warren was preceded in death by his great grandparents, his mother, step father, sister, mother and father in law, three sisters-in-law, and one great nephew. The family wishes to thank the wonderful staff at Auburn Crest Hospice. Especially Reggie C., Rosa B., Shane C., Donnie J., Mary W., Shannon O., Maria R., Anita J., Dairian B., and Dr. Reid Lofgran for their concern, compassion and loving care through Warren’s end of life journey. There will be no services as per Warren’s request at this time. A memorial and celebration of life will be held on a later date. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Hagerman Senior Center or the Hagerman United Methodist Church. The family request that you be kind, listen, show respect and spend extra time with the ones that you love and cherish. Hug someone today. -- -- - Condolences, memories and photos may be shared with the family by following the obituary link at www. demarayfuneralservive.com

... A New Way to Be a Teacher continued
...investments in Idaho teachers. Anyone in Idaho can participate in the new program if they qualify, regardless of location. CSI will employ a hybrid approach, combining online courses and mentoring for in-the-classroom support. The project is estimated to train 830 teachers over the course of the three-year grant period. These routes allow options for individuals to become certified teachers using assessments of content knowledge and experience to meet the standards that are normally met through the traditional postsecondary educator preparation program. The collaboration between the Workforce Development Council, the State Board of Education, and CSI is an example of these partners working together for the future of Idaho’s education system. “Idaho’s employers count on a strong K-12 education to prepare the workforce,” Idaho Workforce Development Council Executive Director Wendi Secrist said. “Idaho’s tight labor market is impacting all industry sectors, including education. This investment ensures that we have pathways into the teaching profession that don’t discriminate based on where individuals live.” According to the Idaho State Board of Education’s Educator Pipeline report, there is a critical workforce gap for Idaho public education in certain areas of the state and in certain content areas. Idaho’s rural areas, including the Magic Valley, are some of those areas impacted most by the shortages. Approximately 1,500 teachers in Idaho leave the profession annually, and they need to be replaced each succeeding year. Student enrollment growth also increases the need to train additional teachers each year. “The State Board of Education created a pathway for experienced people holding a college degree to enter the teaching field. The Magic Valley region is particularly affected by teacher shortages, and CSI is leading the way as they respond to a need by providing opportunities for those who have training and qualifications but lack a teaching certificate. CSI is serving both individuals and schools, and the Board expects to see similar programs started in every region of our state,” State Board of Education President Debbie Critchfield said. The groundwork that made this approach possible happened in October of 2017, when the State Board of Education approved an alternative route to teacher certification based on mastery of the educator preparation standards. All alternative routes to certification, including non-traditional routes are required to meet the same high standards as the traditional routes in order to assure highly effective teachers in the classroom.

Cup of Tee
© Who is to say we have to stay with tradition on Thanksgiving Day?! I guess tradition is just another way to say it’s the same ol’ way without altering procedure or ingredients. This process of repetition works well if you are training kids on mannerisms. If the olives aren’t supposed to be eaten until dinner, why they opened two hours in advance to sit there by themselves. I guess they must have to air dry - probably not! I think they are used by the cooks to test who is following traditions. One year I baked some pears in the oven like baked apples. Everyone thought I was off beat a little. How could tin foil be used in that manner? The answer came in the number of requests for the recipe for Baked Pears. I guess we had never had them cooked that manner... traditionally. Years ago, when we were both younger, my sister invited me over for Thanksgiving dinner. To decide which invitation I was going to attend, I was checking the menus of the places I had been invited. All the places had the traditional fixings. My sister told me she was having peacock. Now wait a minute, peacock wasn’t anything we ever served at dinner before. I was thinking “I couldn’t do this. This isn’t any kind of tradition our family ever had.” I tried to make every excuse I could not to attend my sister’s dinner. She had blocking answers for every excuse I used. Someone left the football playbook out
by Tee Hurd
(our family wasn’t football watchers by tradition) and my sister won out. I ended up coming over for Thanksgiving dinner, and the peacock was delicious, to my surprise. In another Thanksgiving meal I personally cooked at my house, I decided to add a little art to the traditional household decorations. I took some black construction paper and cut out some silhouettes of turkey tracks and human boot prints. I taped them to the floor throughout the house in a maze type manner. The boot prints followed the turkey tracks, and once the coats were taken, everyone followed the tracks around the house. “What is Tee up to with this type of decorations that no one had used before?” I believe the family thought I was crazy with no crayons to write on the walls. The turkey tracks ended short. The human boot prints followed on a little farther only to end by the electric oven cooking the turkey. Definitely not the traditional path through the house to the oven. Who is to say what we have to do at Thanksgiving? You can bet that I will not be the whistle blower and say, “This does not follow tradition.” However you look at Thanksgiving, it is a time to enjoy fellowship and to be thankful that we are able to have religious choices and diverse opinions, and that we have the freedom to share humanity. -- -- - This is my “Cup of Tee” with blessing for each and everyone this Thanksgiving.
