Wendell’s Pizza Restaurant Moves to New Location
Over the last several year, the building at 379 South Idaho in Wendell has gone through a number of changes. From a repair shop, to gas station/convenience store, to restaurant, to coffee house, and now it has settled into the pizza business. During the last month, workers have been remodeling the inside of the building in preparation for a new/old business Papa Kelsey’s Pizza & Subs. The owner, Cheryl Gines, said she was happy with their old building on Main Street, but the opportunity to move to a larger building with better visibility to traffic was too good to pass up. While the location and the decor may be new, the food is still the great pizza and subs you’ve come to expect. Of course, the new location requires something new on the menu. For those of you who avoid pizza (and other things) because of gluten intolerance, Papa Kelsey’s now has a full line of sandwiches and pizzas served on Gluten-Free Flat Bread. Papa Kelsey’s has been a proud part of Wendell for 29 years, and 5 years ago Mrs. Gines purchased the business to continue that service of feeding hungry farmers, regular people, and travelers in the Wendell area.

State Tournaments Off and Running
The Dietrich Blue Devil Girls went into the 1AD2 District Tournament in third place behind Carey and Lighthouse Christian, but that didn’t stop them from taking the District Championship. They beat Richfield (48-28), Lighthouse (5346), and Carey (42-35) to win a spot at this year’s state tournament. The state tournament was not as kind, and they suffered two consecative losses to Sho-Ban and Tri-Valley. Shoshone took their District Championship as well, with a 50-18 victory over Hagerman and a 33-30 win over Oakley in the 1AD1 Snake River Tournament. At the state tournament, Shoshone’s first game was a blowout 47-9 victory over Ambrose. The second game put them up against Prairie and gave them a disapointing loss - 38 to 51. That sent them to the third place game and nailbiter with Lapwai that ended with Lapwai winning 52 to 50.
State Wrestling Championships
This Friday and Saturday, the State Wrestling Tournament will be held Pocatello at the Holt Arena. Sessions begin at 9:30 on Friday and 8:30 on Saturday.

Legislative Update from Representative Steve Miller ~ Current ~
Joint Finance - Appropriations Committee (JFAC) has completed the hearing process and began setting budgets. The K-12 education budgets began Monday. Tax Bills – A flurry of tax bills are coming out of committee including two comprehensive tax cut alternatives to the Governors tax proposal. One would keep the dependent exemption instead of the new child tax credit and lower tax rates in each bracket by 0.3%. A House version would make a number of changes, lower corporate income rates to 5% and not conform to the federal tax changes. Healthcare – There has been much discussion about the Idaho Health Care Plan. It includes two waivers from Health and Human Services. The 1115 waiver would allow Idaho to move high medical risk individuals from private market insurance to Medicaid to receive treatment for the duration of their illness. There has been concern that patients would lose their doctors if moving to Medicaid. Idaho Department of Health & Welfare (H&W) says 94% of the doctors treating these illnesses accept Medicaid patients. The 1332 waiver would allow individuals with less than 100% federal poverty level income to receive the tax credit and buy insurance on the private market. This allows US citizens the same opportunity afforded legal aliens now. It is estimated that moving the high-risk pool to Medicaid will lower insurance premiums by 20%. The Governor’s executive order allowing insurance companies to sell non-ACA compliant policies will provide additional lower cost alternatives. The thing to remember is that while this would help a lot of people get insurance, none of this addresses the cost of health care. That’s where the real battle begins. Sale of Federal Lands - I brought RS 26142 before State Affairs committee Friday for a print hearing. RS26142 states all federal lands granted to Idaho after July 1, 2018 shall be held in trust in perpetuity for Idahoans. These lands shall be managed for public access, multiple use and sustained yields. To prevent loss of access to public lands, whether managed by federal agencies or the state, any transfer of federal lands to the state shall be structured to prevent sale except where limited sales or exchanges would enhance
public access and management. The committee voted to print the bill. Prisons & County Jails – The Department of Corrections (DOC) facilities are filling up and inmates are scheduled to be moved out of state. DOC estimates a population of 8,342 inmates by the end of FY18. DOC requested funds to add 193 beds and move 188 inmates to out of state placement. In addition, the department estimates 720 state inmates in county jails this year and counties are requesting the state to remove inmates to provide room for their needs. It is clear that Idaho needs to reassess the justice and parole system.
~ House Session & Votes ~
Rep Clow brought H471 prohibiting traffic operating in the left lane of a four lane highway if it impedes following traffic. It has been dubbed the “Fast lane debate”. This simple bill unfolded into nearly an hour long debate and finally passed 41-28-0. I guess Lance is now in the fast lane. JFAC set the statewide budget decision this week. FY18 was set at $3.651 billion, a 5.9% increase and FY19 was set at $3.823 billion, a 5.3% increase. The committee also adopted the Governor’s budget of state employee 3% merit increase. JFAC voted to create a Technical Infrastructure Stabilization Fund. This will provide a mechanism where LSO can evaluate large technology funding requests.

Utilities Relocation On Idaho Highway 46 Near Buhl
On Tuesday of this week, work began on relocating utilities on Idaho Highway 46 between 4200 North Road and 4300 North Road just north of Buhl. The relocation is being done in advance of a road paving and culvert replacement project later this year. During repositioning of the utilities, a portion of the highway shoulder will be removed and rebuilt. Work is expected to be complete in the coming weeks. Traffic will be reduced to one lane during this work. Drivers should be prepared for short delays and watch for flaggers Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and temporary traffic signals after hours. The asphalt overlay of ID-46 between U.S. 30 in Buhl and the Snake River will begin as soon as June. Additional work includes replacing curb ramps within the city of Buhl and guardrail upgrades. Those with questions about the project are asked to contact ITD Project Manager, Brock Dillé at 208-544-7906 or brock.dille@itd.idaho.gov.
ITD and the Idaho State Police advise motorists to slow down and pay attention when driving in work zones, where increased speeding fines and other penalties apply. Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead and dial 5-1-1 or visit 511.idaho.gov for information on the state highway or interstate system.

Fineas Hughbanks
Fineas Hughbanks, 75, a resident of Gooding, passed away on Monday, February 12, 2018 at his home in Gooding after a long battle with cancer. Fineas Grant Hughbanks was born on March 30, 1942 in Attica, Kansas, as the 7th of 12 children to James Frank and Vivian Hughbanks. While growing up on the family farm, he excelled in school, participated in athletics, and bird hunted with his favorite dog Pepper. He received his DVM degree from Kansas State University School of Veterinary Medicine in 1967. After graduation, he worked a short time at the Attica Veterinary Clinic before deciding to go out west. He was working in Caldwell, ID when he met the love of his life, Nancy. They were married in July of 1969, in Melba, ID and had four children. Fineas purchased Blue Cross Animal Hospital in Boise, and later built Les Bois Veterinary Hospital. In order to pursue his dream of operating a cattle ranch, the family purchased Spring Creek Ranch in May, Idaho. He developed many lifelong friendships in the Pahsimeroi Valley while managing the ranch and extending his veterinary services to the community. He took a great interest in raising Salers cattle, and cross-bred them with Angus. A drop in cattle prices made it difficult to remain on the ranch, so in 1984, the family found a new opportunity in Gooding, Idaho. They quickly proclaimed it home, and remained for 34 years. He retired from Gem Veterinary Clinic in 2012. Fineas was an active member of his community. He had a heart for education, and served on the school boards in Challis and in Gooding. The family enjoyed hosting three foreign exchange students. He was an active member of Rotary and served as president of the Gooding Chamber of Commerce. For many years, he was a deacon at the First Christian Church. He was very hard working, and dedicated to providing excellent Veterinary service to the community. Despite those long hours at work, he always found the time to attend his children’s activities. He was a loving father, and he took great joy in every precious moment with his six grandchildren. Fineas enjoyed playing tennis, basketball, golf, fishing, and reading. He spent time every day reading the bible and talking to God. He had a wonderful relationship with his family in Kansas, visiting them every year. He is survived by his wife, Nancy; his four children - Andrea (Brad Grossen) of Portland, OR; Heather (Brian) Davis of McCall, ID; Jared (Adrienne Hall) of San Jose, CA; Travis (Sarah Andrews) of Austin, TX; and eight siblings: Monroe (Corrine) of McPherson, KS; Galen (Bonnie) of Anthony, KS; James (Donna) of Denton, TX; Harold (Gerry) of Attica, KS; Karen (David) Smith of Salina, KS; Sandra (Bob) Kurt of Rose Hill, KS; Tipton (Anita) of Attica, KS; Teresa (Jerry) Whitney of Enid, OK; and six grandchildren, Quentin, Olive, Fiona, Cole, Jude and Ruby. He was preceded in death by his parents; his sisters, Twila and Beverly; brother-in-law, Wayne Hurley; his brother, Roger; and sister-in-law, Betty. In lieu of flowers, please send memorials to First Christian Church (Harvest Hope fund for Haiti) or Wycliffe Bible Translators. A memorial service was held on Sunday, February 18, 2018 at the First Christian Church in Gooding with Rev. Andy Morris officiating. Services concluded at the church. Cremation and funeral arrangements are under the direction of Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel.

Cup of Tee
Wow, now I’m a pilot! Don’t get your appetite ready for a soft drink and pretzels, because I’m not flying a passenger plane - even though I was being flown in a plane a few weeks ago. A pilot is in a sense a beginning of something to see if it can appeal to people’s needs. A test pilot is one of those who gets to report on the new idea. The other day I stopped at a small cafe for something to eat (that is one of the main reasons I do stop). I asked for hashbrowns and gravy - that is one of my standards. The gal ask me what kind of gravy I wanted. I said, “What kinds do you have?” She replied, “We have cream gravy, brown gravy, and sausage gravy.” My choice would have been hamburger gravy, but since I didn’t have that choice, I said, “I think I will have the sausage gravy, if it is okay with you.” She wrote it down on the order bill and I waited for my plate of hashbrowns and sausage gravy to arrive. When it came I notice several pieces of sausage on my hashbrowns with no gravy. I was a bit puzzled. Then I figured it out. The hashbrowns were put on my plate first. Then the pieces of sausage were added next. Then on top, was the cream gravy. I guess the cream gravy serves as a multipurpose factor similar to a pair of socks. Socks serve as a factor for cowboy boots or tennis shoes. Was I being used as a test pilot? Who knows where I set in the sausage equation. Maybe I should have said, “Where’s the beef?”

A similar thing happened a few days earlier at a restaurant in Nampa who’s name I won’t say - McDonalds. I walked in to McDonalds to get a cold drink. Inside were about eight employees waiting to serve someone - I believe I was the only one in line. Off to my left rear was kiosk type machine. I stepped out of line to look this machine over. It was an order type machine where you order you meal and pay for it. There I stood, looking the machine up and down and on both sides, which were basically two ordering stations. Maybe technology is putting me out to pasture. Sure don’t say much about me being a test pilot (wrong guy - I must have “bacon” stamped on my forehead or maybe “HAM”). A young gal came up to me and asked, “Do you need some help figuring this out?” She obviously saw I was confused just a little bit. I turned around to her and said, “No, I don’t need help figuring this out, but I do need help figuring out why you need this machine. Are so busy here that you need a machine to take my order and money inside? Is it too hard to count money from a till? Who is going to put the hamburger in the bag... the machine? I came in for a cold drink, but I think I’m going next door where people still serve people.” I shook my head and walked out. I’m sure the other seven employees were studying me and their new test pilot. I guess for now, I’m still without a pilot’s license. This is my “Cup of Tee” in a plain, no frills wrapper.

Brent L Christiansen
Brent L Christiansen, who divided his time in residence between Preston, Minnesota, and Hagerman, Idaho, passed away at his home in Hagerman early in the morning February 12th, 2018, after a short but courageous battle with melanoma cancer. Born May 26th, 1950, in Pocatello, Idaho, he was the second of three children born to Park N Christiansen and Nola Agnes Johnson who lived in Blackfoot, Idaho, at the time of his birth. His formative years were spent in Blackfoot, Boise, and Pocatello, finishing his “at home” years in Salt Lake City, Utah. Brent excelled at anything, and everything, that he set his mind to. He was an avid hunter, fisherman and outdoorsman, a tournament champion trap shooter, single digit handicap golfer, pool hustler extraordinaire, and high stakes pot winning poker player. A superb salesman, manager, and mentor he helped set high standards and developed innovative ideas that led to successful campaigns which helped the companies he worked for grow their businesses. In 1982 he married the love of his life, Jeri Lynn Ascuena. Their family moved from Idaho to Arizona, California, Oregon, Minnesota, Indiana, and then back to Minnesota as they chased the American dream. With all his many accomplishments none can be greater than he being a devoted husband to Jeri, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend. Nothing was more important to him than his family, and once you were Brent’s friend, you became family. He is survived by his lovely wife, their children Joseph Paul Weeks, Jennifer Suzanne Carter, Terry Isaac Weeks, and Kasey Dawn Weeks, 12 grandchildren and nine great grandchildren, brother, Craig P Christiansen (Diane), sister, Jana L Christiansen – Lund (Michael), nieces, nephews, and Jeri’s five brothers and spouses. He was preceded in death by his parents and son Craig Michael. Our family would like to express our appreciation to the Cremer family and the crew at Harmony Enterprises for their kindness and generosity as they supported Brent and Jeri in the final days before he returned to Idaho. We would also like to thank Sandy and Alliance Hospice for the tender care they provided for Brent as well as the compassion and direction given to family during his final hours. Per Brent’s direction his remains will be cremated. Services are pending at this time.

while remaining in and contributing to their home communities.” Boise State’s program will educate students about the cause and effect components of public health, thereby preparing them to advocate for social change and address community health-related challenges. Professionals with degrees in public health often work in both traditional public health and service-focused organizations as well as new practice settings and nonprofit organizations. Students will need to meet several key academic requirements before being accepted to the program. Once enrolled, full-time students can expect to complete their degree in five semesters (including summer coursework.) “Public health is a rapidly growing field that needs well-educated, well-trained leaders who know how to serve and advance the health and welfare of their communities,” said Tim Dunnagan, dean of the College of Health Sciences. “This new degree is the perfect example of how our faculty and staff are dedicated to creating high-caliber, accessible and affordable programs. Offering this program online also presents an exciting way for us to work directly with individual students while developing leaders who will graduate and contribute to the larger social good.” To learn more about the bachelor of arts degree in public health, please visit online.boisestate.edu/publichealth.To learn more about all of Boise State University’s online offerings, visit online.boisestate.edu.
