Fish & Game News Release During their annual meeting on January 24th, the Idaho Fish and Game Commission adopted new rules for moose, bighorn sheep, and mountain goat for the 2019-2020 hunting seasons. Statewide, the new rules included a reduction in the number of moose tags available to hunters, an increase of two bighorn sheep tags, and decrease of four mountain goat tags. The new rules booklets will be out in mid March and online prior to that. The application period for moose, bighorn sheep, and mountain goat controlled hunts runs from April 1-30. The earliest controlled moose hunt seasons begin at the end of August, as do the majority of those for bighorn sheep and all of those for mountain goat. Applicants are reminded Fish and Game will not be accepting mail-in applications for the controlled hunts. Hunters may apply at any hunting and fishing license vendor or Fish and Game office; with a credit card by calling (800) 554-8685; or online. A 2019 Idaho hunting license is required to apply. New fees for application are $16.75 for residents and $41.75 for nonresidents. The 2019-20 changes can be found at: idfg.idaho.gov
Influenza Now Widespread In the United States SCPHD News Release
What You Need To Know!
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is reporting widespread influenza activity in most of the United States, including Idaho. South Central Public Health District (SCPHD) wants to remind the public, this is the time of year we tend to see influenza-like illnesses start to peak in our region as well. “The flu virus spreads quickly, particularly in group settings like schools, churches, and workplaces.” Said Christi Dawson-Skuza, Epidemiologist. “Local schools are reporting a high number of sick students with influenza-like symptoms.” The flu is contagious before symptoms start, so practicing good hygiene at all times can help prevent its spread. SCPHD recommends people: • Get a flu vaccination. • Wash hands often and particularly after sneezing and coughing. • Avoid touching their eyes, nose, and mouth. • Cover their coughs and sneezes or cough into their sleeve. • Stay home when sick. continued page 6...

CSI’s 2019 Lecture Series
The Most Notable Pioneer: African Americans in the West
The American frontier provided a sense of freedom for many people looking to begin anew. Although African Americans found discrimination in the West, a few also found safety and relative freedom from their previous lives. Three former slaves embody the frontier spirit with their connections to Idaho. American West historian Justin L. Vipperman shares the experiences of York, Green Flake, and Gobo Fango in this Black History Month lecture. The three cases provide a nuanced and complex view of race relations in the West, but more importantly in Idaho. Justin L. Vipperman was born and raised in Wendell, Idaho. He attended the College of Southern Idaho before pursuing a bachelor’s degree in history at Idaho State University. Vipperman attended Portland State University where he received a dual master’s degree in history and public history. Vipperman now teaches at the College of Southern Idaho and Idaho State University and is also working on an interdisciplinary doctorate. Wednesday, February 13th, 2019, 6:30 p.m. at the CSI Gooding Center Our lecture series is sponsored exclusively by Zions Bank. Their generous support keeps these quality presentations FREE for all to enjoy!

...but never Compromising the Truth.
Legislative Update from Senator Michelle Stennett Supreme Court on Medicaid Expansion This week, I had the opportunity to attend the Regan v. Denney Idaho Supreme Court hearing; the Idaho Freedom Foundation is challenging the Secretary of State over the voter-approved Medicaid Expansion initiative. Citing federal law, the Freedom Foundation is claiming Medicaid Expansion is unconstitutional and it delegates legislative authority to Idaho’s Department of Health and Welfare. Their lawyer argued that Idaho is put into a vicarious position by opting into expanding Medicaid without accounting for any possible federal changes that could occur without Idaho’s consent. However, Idaho can always opt out of federal programs and changes, as we did when Medicaid was originally expanded. Idaho’s Deputy Attorney General argued, citing process, “Based on the plain reading...There is simply no delegation to the Federal Government.” Currently, the legislature is awaiting the Supreme Court’s decision to proceed with funding mechanisms.
Medicaid Expansion Cost Offsets A recent budget analysis shows Medicaid Expansion will create cost offsets of about $40.3 million throughout the state. Cost offsets are defined as appropriations that can be removed from their current agency budgets and applied to the Medicaid Expansion because the program takes over some of their services. Most notably, the Department of Health and Welfare, the Department of Corrections, the State Catastrophic Health Care Program, and Idaho counties with indigent funds would see cost offsets transferred. However, if the Legislature decides to add any extra hurdles, such as work requirements, the state would be responsible for all the financial burdens associated with it and the Federal Center for Medicaid Services would need to approve it through a waiver. The money to fund a clean Medicaid Expansion is in the budget, the Legislature just needs to act.
Red Tape Reduction Act This week Governor Little signed an executive order aimed at reducing state regulatory burdens for Idaho citizens and businesses. Executive Order 2019-02, the “Red Tape Reduction Act,” requires that state agencies, which have the authority to issue administrative rules, must submit, “A business/ competitiveness impact statement that identifies the impact the proposed rule will have on individuals and small businesses; and at least two existing rules to be repealed or significantly simplified, or a statement clearly and thoroughly stating why existing rules cannot be simplified or eliminated.” We must be careful not to repeal any necessary rules in our efforts to hold our state government accountable. New Education Funding Formula This Thursday, February 7th, the Legislature will be having a joint Education Committee listening session regarding the new education funding formula. All are invited to attend and listen or voice their views for or against the new funding formula. Portions of the draft formula categories create winners and losers among the school districts and are not well defined. Rather than rushing, we must take all the necessary time with stakeholders to create a funding formula that follows the Idaho Constitution requiring the state to provide a fair and equal education system for everyone.

John Alexander Cabbage
John Alexander Cabbage passed away peacefully at home with his family by his side on January 6, 2019 in Gooding, Idaho at the age of 90. He has reunited with his family in the farm up above. John was born on a tobacco farm on April 18, 1928 in Island, KY. His family moved to a homestead farm in Stevensville, MT when he was seven. He attended the county school in Stevensville for a short period of time before attending Montana School for the Deaf and Blind in Great Falls, MT for 9 years. The Montana School for the Deaf and Blind was where he discovered his passion for sports. The family moved to another farm in Plummer, Idaho, in 1945 where he attended Idaho School for the Deaf and Blind in Gooding for 2 years before graduating. He then went to Plummer High School for a year where he got his second high school diploma. After spending short stints at Wonder Bread in Coeur d’Alene and at the Navy yards in Bremerton, WA, he returned to Gooding to work as a dorm parent, maintenance man and bus driver for 36 years at the Idaho School for the Deaf and Blind in Gooding. While attending the Montana Association of the Deaf annual convention, John met the love of his life, Nelly Petra Kristine Nerhus from Billings, MT. After corresponding by mail for a year they later married on June 22, 1963 in Billings. The couple then decided to settle in Gooding, Idaho where they have resided ever since. John continued his passion for sports beyond high school, for the rest of his life. He was involved in the Idaho Athletic Club of the Deaf (IACD) as a leader and athlete for most of his life. He played on teams representing Idaho in deaf basketball and softball tournaments all over the Pacific Northwest for 30+ years. John also loved watching sports and was a loyal regular at his sons’, grandchildren’s and great-grandchildren’s sporting events. John was an avid outdoorsman, loved to hunt, fish and camp. He also loved woodworking and gardening. He passed on his love for sports and outdoors to his sons. John was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and held various positions in the deaf branch as well as being involved in the deaf Boy Scouts troop. John is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Nelly Petra Kristine; two sons, Sonny (Michelle) of Meridian, Idaho and Roddy (Emma Lozada) of Santa Fe, New Mexico; five grandchildren, Mallory (Josh) and Riley Cabbage & Henry, Sabrina and Bailey and four great-grandchildren, Taven, Sophia, Riddick and Hayzel. John is preceded in death by his parents, Isaac and Helen Cabbage of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, three sisters, Elouise, Martha and Etta Rhea and three brothers, Dan, Gene and Dorus. A Celebration of Life is planned in the near future.
