Sawtooth Avalanche Center Open for the Season

Last year’s meager winter is in the rear-view mirror, but with some wet storms forecast to hit Idaho in the coming days, they began daily Backcountry Avalanche Forecasts on Monday, December 13th. While waiting for storms to dump enough snow to ride and slide in the hills, you can view or download their Annual Report at sawtoothavalanche.com New developments this year at the Sawtooth Avalanche Center (SAC) include: 1. Expanded Forecast Area: Thanks to support from the Friends of the Sawtooth Avalanche Center, we have the required staffing to cover our expanded forecast area. This recent expansion nearly doubled our coverage area, adding additional terrain on the Sawtooth, Boise, and Salmon-Challis National Forests near Banner Summit and Stanley, Smiley Creek, Atlanta, and Carey. This increased our coverage area to over 2 million acres (1.15 million acres previously). 2. Website Improvements: Thanks to generous funding from the Ferris and Minor families and the Nicholas Martin Jr. Family Foundation in addition to support from the Friends of the SAC, we created new website products and improved the existing platform at www.sawtoothavalanche. com. We added tools to easily visualize patterns in recent avalanche activity and Observations and made it easier to navigate and search the existing Observations and Avalanche data. If you haven’t tried it, check out our “one-stop-shop” Trip Planner tool on the website home page. It provides users with the Avalanche Forecast, relevant Observations, recent avalanche activity, and a point-specific weather forecast for any location of their choosing. The ultimate result: make it easier for users to get the information they need to stay safe while playing in the mountains. 3. Additional Avalanche Rescue Training Parks: The City of Ketchum and the Friends of the SAC partnered to secure another rescue training park at Atkinsons Park in Ketchum. We’ll install the new Atkinsons Park facility and the existing Avalanche Rescue Training Park at the NW end of the Baker Creek parking lot on HWY75 when... continued on page 6...

Idaho Health Insurance Open Enrollment Extended

Your Health Idaho, the state health insurance exchange, announced a one-week extension for the 2022 health insurance open enrollment period. Idahoans who do not have benefits through their employer and are not eligible for Medicaid or Medicare now have until Dec. 22 to enroll. Those that apply by the deadline will have health insurance coverage beginning Jan. 1, 2022. Your Health Idaho executive director, Pat Kelly, said the decision to extend the deadline was made to ensure Idahoans have enough time to apply for a tax credit and select a plan for 2022. “Unfortunately, we’ve seen some delays in application processing this year, and we want to be absolutely certain that any Idahoan who wants coverage beginning Jan. 1, has all the information and resources necessary to make an informed decision about their coverage,” said Kelly. Kelly said the delays are due in large part to staffing shortages coupled with an increase in new customers seeking coverage with the recently expanded tax credits. “While we are thrilled to see so many new Idahoans applying for coverage through the exchange, we have had to balance increased demand against the same staffing challenges many Idaho businesses are currently facing,” said Kelly. “By extending the deadline, we hope to give Idahoans a few extra Saturday, December 18th from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. days to make final plan selections and ensure their 2022 tax Lincoln County Community Center credits are intact.” A by donation luncheon with hotdogs, baked potato bar, coffee, juice, and hot chocolate Tax credit eligibility is based on several factors like household will be held this Saturday at the Lincoln County Community Center (201 S Beverley Street) size and income. The process to verify that information can take in Shoshone! There will be FREE pictures with Santa and Mrs.Claus from 12 p.m. to 2 several days, contributing to the delay in processing time. p.m. as well as FREE health screenings including: blood pressure, ALC, blood glucose, continued on page 3... and oxygen saturation.

Cup of Tee

Fall is abouit ready to come to an end... officially. Winter seems to be coming in right behind it on schedule. Some people are saying that they wished they had a little summer weather right now, and of course, this last summer they wanted a little winter. We are fortunate to have definite seasons. Whatever season we have, we just need to be prepared for it... hopefully in advance. If you haven't taken a look at your vehicles, now-immediately, is sure recommended. Antifreeze should be checked to be certain the concentration is adiquate for the freezing and below temperatures. Topping off doesn't hurt. Battery cables should be cleaned and a battery inspection should include date of purchase along with voltage output. Tires need proper inflation. Tread and condition should be at top performance. Cell phone charger should be in top condition, along with battery jumper cables, ice scraper, tire iron, jack, reserve blanket, spare key, emergency snacks, spare tire, and gloves should be checked to be in place. Hopefully at home one is ready for winter as well. External pipes should be wrapped in insulation or heat tape. Foundation vents should be filled with insulation and closed. Ice melt and snow shovels should be accessable, not covered with snow in the back yard.

If windows are very drafty, a little plastic can be installed to reduce heat loss. Propane tanks should be kept accessible and wood needs to be covered to keep it dry. Furnace filters should be checked and replaced if dirty. Smoke alarms need to be checked to have fresh batteries. A supply of candles and matches should be addressed. Batteries for battery devices must be restocked. Chimneys should be clean without creosote build up. Gutters need to be clean so melting water doesn't build up. Food pantries should be inventoried and perhaps rotated. It's a good idea to have water storaged in the pantry too. For one's person, sweaters may need to be brought out of storage - of course, in Idaho they are year-round clothing. Gloves, stocking hats, scarves, bandanas, coats, these should all be located for easy access. Layers of clothing helps with body heat loss. A throw blanket can add a little extra heat. Shoes should get a good water proofing with shoe grease of bees wax. Everything is up about 20 to 30 percent or more with antisipation. It's hard to make ends meet in the middle. Maybe with some inspection and preperation things could be a little easier for the winter, especially if you are new to the area. An extra reach of help to elderly and disabled will help their ability to cope in the harder weather conditions. This is my “Cup of Tee” for thought.

Habits & Health

1-208-246-9999

It’s not yet the New Year, so perhaps not time for all the resolutions and reflections, and various changes (or attempted changes) to our lives that people typically make in that post-holiday change of the calendar. But... with the arrival of New Year’s comes the “return to routine and I’m so unsatisfied with my life need to make some changes now that the holidays are over” winter blues, or the “I should’ve been more careful instead of being a glutton for three weeks” guilt trip. December becomes the time for the “I’m not going to change things before Christmas because it’s too stressful a season” mentality, or the “I can’t do that, it’s the holidays.” Right now no one wants to think about or changing their diet (what, miss out on all the cookies?) or exercise (why add something else to an already busy schedule?) or weight loss or quitting smoking or any of that. However, I’m going to write about healthy habits anyway, because during this time of year of increased consumption and gatherings and abundant sweet things regularly in the office break room, I see a lot of folks who figure they can just put their health on hold for a month or two and no big deal. And this choice strengthens the habit of continuing as they are. According to the first definition from a simple google search, habit is defined as “a settled or regular tendency or practice, especially one that is hard to give up.” Thus this month turns into a few months, then into a year, then 10 years, and results in clogged arteries, high blood sugar (diabetes), sleep problems, and way more weight on someone’s bones than intended. Without making any additional conscious choices a person has settled into the regular tendency and practice of unhealthy living—and it’s especially hard to give up. At the significant risk of being called a killjoy, may I plant the suggestion in your mind that if it is easy for you to be inactive, eat unhealthy foods, or perhaps consume large quantities of media while sitting on the couch eating chips—then those habits will be just as hard to change on New Year’s Day as at any other time. On the other hand, if you are interested in changing habits or committing to new ones, why wait until that specific calendar day to do so? -- -- -Dr Brittni McLam is a native of south central Idaho and practices at Associates in Family Practice offices in Gooding and Hagerman. She enjoys helping people of all ages overcome challenges and work towards better, healthier habits.

...Open Enrollment Extended continued

Despite the delay, Kelly said applying for the tax credit is worth the effort. More than 80 percent of enrolled Idahoans qualify for a monthly tax credit that acts like an instant discount and can significantly lower premium payments. In 2021, one in three Idahoans who qualified for the tax credit paid $0 per month for coverage. At YourHealthIdaho.org, Idahoans who are unsure if they qualify for lower cost coverage can use the Tax Credit Estimator to get an idea of how much... they could save on health insurance. Then, they can shop and compare a record number of plans and seek out free expert help when they’re ready to enroll. Idahoans who want health insurance coverage beginning Jan. 1, 2022, must submit their application for a tax credit and enroll by Wednesday, Dec. 22, and make their first premium payment as soon as possible.

Stanley Andrews, 87, a resident of Wendell, passed away peacefully in his home, surrounded by family on Wednesday, December 1, 2021. He will be spending Christmas with the love of his life and wrapped in the arms of all those that have preceded him in death. Stanley Murphy Andrews was born May 10, 1934 to his parents, Lois and Enos Andrews. Stanley was raised with six siblings that he loved dearly.

He and Bonnie built a beautiful life together. They bought a farm where they raised their two sons. As life moved on, the family grew larger with many grandchildren. Stanley and Bonnie enjoyed camping, Sunday drives, jigsaw puzzles, dominos and pinochle. They would host parties with family and friends to play cards and laugh. Stanley always brought joy to all those who met him. Even in his final months, he always found a unique way to make everyone laugh and smile. He loved his dear wife even after she took her last breath. Stanley is survived by: Barbara Fuller, Elizabeth Chojnacky, Jerry (Sally) Andrews, Kevin (Donna) Andrews, Michael (LaDawn) Andrews; 7 grandchildren, 16 great grandchildren and 9 great-great grandchildren.

In conjunction with the Friends of the SAC, we hope to offer free Rescue Clinics later this season - visit the website and stay tuned for dates and times. The Sun Valley Ski Patrol plans to set their existing beacon training park as well as a new, 2nd installation as soon as snow depths permit. They provide an excellent opportunity to practice your skills on your skis or board. 4. Nationwide Forecast template: The USFS National Avalanche Center and several major USFS avalanche centers across the western U.S. pooled resources to develop a common Avalanche Forecast template and mechanism to insert the Forecast into any avalanche center website. The majority of USFS avalanche centers will be using the SAC-developed platform this year. This collaborative effort maximizes avalanche centers’ financial resources while improving consistency among avalanche center products, making it easier for recreationists to understand and use the products to stay safe. Forecasts will be issued each morning by 7:30 a.m. and are available on the website as well as by email subscription. On weekday mornings, you can also tune into KECH 95.3 FM or KDPI 88.5 FM to hear a quick summary of the current avalanche conditions. The Sawtooth NF Facebook page (@sawtoothnationalforest) has daily updates too. Longtime avalanche center partner The Friends of the SAC also post conditions and events information on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram (@ or # sawtoothavy). The SAC covers over 3,200 square miles and typically has one or two forecasters in the field daily. Information from other backcountry users is critical to producing accurate Avalanche Forecasts. There are several ways to submit observations: Post your observations on the SAC website, email photos and text to info@sawtoothavalanche.com, text and images to (208) 481-5921, or on our social media accounts. ~ Legal Notices ~ Legal Notices ~ Legal Notices ~ Legal Notices ~
