Gooding Fourth Graders Paint Mural
Fourth Grade students and teachers at Gooding Elementary have recently been busy designing and painting a mural here in town. Final touches to come as weather permits. The plan is for this to become a yearly project with new murals like this one being added to the south wall of the
Gooding Fitness Center for the next few years. In the future students will then look to other businesses to offer space. The school and the city of Gooding would like to thank Mayor Brekke for being willing to donate space on his business’s wall for this enriching project. The mural has already received many wonderful comments from citizens, and we can’t wait to see what our students will come up with next!
Transitional Health Insurance Plans Extended
Non-grandfathered transitional health plans, also known as “grandmothered” plans, will be extended through December 31, 2020, the Idaho Department of Insurance announced today. The announcement follows the latest guidance released March 25, 2019 by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) that allows states the option of extending such plans. Most Affordable Care Act (ACA) market reforms took effect January 1, 2014. Non-grandfathered health policies in existence prior to that date are considered “transitional policies.” Director Dean Cameron says these types of health policies continue to serve many consumers well. “Numerous individuals and families have held onto these transitional policies since before 2014,” said Cameron. “We are pleased they will have the option to retain them for another year.” Transitional policies are not fully ACA-compliant; however, they must comply with state law and only specific ACA provisions regarding annual dollar limitations, pre-existing condition exclusions, waiting periods and mental health parity rules. Carriers are to provide notice at renewal informing individuals or small employers of renewal options, including the opportunity to enroll in ACA-compliant plans. CMS is permitting states to continue the extension of transitional plans through the “substantially enforcing” provision of the ACA. For further information, visit doi.idaho.gov or call 208-334-4250.

Idaho Medicaid Expansion
Last week, Governor Little signed Senate Bill 1204aa.aaH expanding Medicaid in Idaho. While there was some political opposition to the final legislation, this law will help more Idaho residents pay for healthcare services. Currently, Medicaid is limited to: those under 19 years of age and over 65, parents with children under 19, pregnant women or women diagnosed with certain cancers, and people who are blind or disabled. The new law allows legal residents of Idaho between the ages of 19 and 65 who earn less than 138 percent of the federal poverty level to apply for Medicaid ($12,500 annually for one person or about $26,000 for a family of four). Those who are receiving Medicare are not eligible. The Department of Health and Welfare is now getting ready for open enrollment, which is scheduled to start November 1st of this year. Expanded Medicaid coverage will not begin until January 1st, 2020. The one uncertainty in all of this is the Federal waivers needed to allow people to stay on the state health insurance exchange rather than going on Medicaid, and to approve the requirement for able-bodied individuals to work, attend school or volunteer at least 20 hours-a-week (there are certain exemptions). However, the bill includes language that Medicaid expansion will continue in Idaho even if the waivers don’t happen. Certain groups have threaten to challenge this law in court, claiming it should have been a “clean” approval of Proposition 2. Unfortunately, Prop 2 (as it was written) had legal problems that needed to be addressed. The Idaho Supreme Court heard the lawsuit against Prop 2 and decided it was up to the Idaho Legislature to fix those problems, not the courts. According to Republican Caucus Chair Rep. Megan Blanksma, Senate Bill 1204aa.aaH was the fiscally-responsible way to implement Medicaid expansion in Idaho. “It took a lot of listening to our constituents, a lot of collaborating with our friends in the Senate, and a lot of amendments to the final bill, but we found a plan that puts Idahoans and their priorities first.” If there are legal challenges to this law (particularly the work requirement), the result could be delayed implementation of Medicaid expansion, and those who need help paying medical bills will have to wait even longer.

Gooding Tree Yard Now Open
The Gooding tree yard is now open. Normal hours of operation are Tuesday through Saturday 10 AM to 6 PM. This year the tree yard will not be manned Tuesday through Friday. Instead, they will use this time to maintain trees in the right of way, etc. Crews will visit the yard throughout the day to empty the trimmings and keep the pile of brush pushed up. Your help is needed to make this change successful. Cameras have been installed to help monitor for illegal dumping. As usual, chipped material is for sale with a charge of $1 per cubic yard. If you need larger volume amounts, you need to bring your own loader and truck(s). You can purchase materials on Saturday when the facility will be attended from 10 AM to 6 p.m., or if large amounts are needed, call for arrangements. The tree yard has received a tremendous amount of “firewood” aka trees/ logs, railroad ties, fence posts, old furniture etc. You are encouraged to remove and repurpose these items. This will help reduce wear and tear on equipment and reduce staff time to grind the materials. Sections are being created for different items, so that you may add to or take away from them. The “firewood” is going to require that certain rules so it can be used as intended, for folks that struggle to heat their homes. An effort is being made to make this self-service, meaning if you truly need some, take some. However, no use of chain saws in the tree yard, bring a vehicle or trailer capable of hauling the logs, and bring help if you need it. This facility is a great resource for our community so if you have suggestions or concerns please call Public Works at 208 595-4902.
Sign-Up Period for Conservation Stewardship Program
The next deadline for Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) applications to be considered for funding this year is May 10, 2019. USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) plans to invest up to $700 million for new enrollments and contract extensions in fiscal year 2019. The 2018 Farm Bill made several changes to this critical conservation program, which helps agricultural producers take the conservation activities on their farm or ranch to the next level. “CSP continues to be a very effective tool for private landowners working to achieve their conservation and management goals,” NRCS Chief Matthew Lohr said. “It is the largest conservation program in the United States with more than 70 million acres of productive agricultural and forest land enrolled.” continued on page 5.....

Frances Uriona Guinn
Frances Uriona Guinn, formerly of Gooding, passed away on Sunday, April 7, 2019 at the age of 92 in Boise, Idaho. Frances was born at her grandparents’ - Acuena Basque Boarding House in Gooding, and was the second of five children born to John and Mary (Ascuena) Uriona. She had wonderful memories of the many Basque festivities held at the boarding house, including dancing, accordion music and a coin operated organ. There was always something going on at the boarding house. They only spoke Basque at home so she had to learn English when she started school. She grew up on a farm northwest of Gooding during the depression. In April 1940, Frances was in school when a tornado struck five farms northwest of Gooding. The Uriona family home and out buildings and crops were destroyed and animals were killed and injured. The family built a new home and barn and continued farming. She graduated from Gooding High School, attended Henagar’s Business School in Salt Lake and then worked several years for the Gooding School District. She married John L. Beitia in 1947, had one son and then divorced. She spent a couple of years working at the Land Title Company in Oakland, California and then back to Gooding and worked as a receptionist for Dr. Kieffer and for First Security Bank. In 1954 she married John W. Guinn. In 1956 she went to work as the district clerk for the Gooding School District and retired 38 years later. After retirement she volunteered on the Gooding County Memorial Hospital Foundation Board for 18 years. Frances was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, her sister – Maria, her brother – John, and a special niece – Mary. She is survived by her son – John (Peggy) Beitia of Eagle; three granddaughters – Maria Beitia of Singapore, Julie Calcaterra of Las Vegas, Nevada and Amy Beitia-McLeod of Meridian; three great granddaughters, one great grandson; one great great grandson; sister – Anna Rose of Boise; brother – George (Alcie) Uriona of Deadwood, Oregon; and nieces and nephews. Rosary/Vigil was held on Monday, April 15, 2019, at St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church in Gooding, followed by a Funeral Mass. Graveside inturment followed at the Elmwood Cemetery in Gooding and a reception at the Gooding Basque Center. In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to the North Canyon Medical Center Foundation or a charity of choice.

Conservation Stewardship Program continued...
interested producers should submit applications to their local NRCS office by May 10, 2019, to ensure their applications are considered for 2019 funding. Changes to the Program The 2018 Farm Bill authorizes NRCS to accept new CSP enrollments from now until 2023, and it makes some important improvements to the program. These updates include: NRCS now enrolls eligible, high ranking applications based on dollars rather than acres. For fiscal 2019, NRCS can spend up to $700 million in the program, which covers part of the cost for producers implementing new conservation activities and maintaining their existing activities. Higher payment rates are now available for certain conservation activities, including cover crops and resource conserving crop rotations. CSP now provides specific support for organic and for transitioning to organic production activities and a special grassland conservation initiative for certain producers who have maintained cropland base acres. About the Program CSP is offered in all 50 states and the Pacific and Caribbean areas through continuous sign-ups. The program provides many benefits including increased crop yields, decreased inputs, wildlife habitat improvements and increased resilience to weather extremes. CSP is for working lands including cropland, pastureland, rangeland, nonindustrial private forest land and agricultural land under the jurisdiction of an Indian tribe. For additional information about CSP, contact your local USDA service center.

The Idaho Supreme Court has released the Idaho Civil Justice Reform Task Force Report, an examination of Idaho’s civil courts that includes proposals aimed at improving access to the courts by reducing the length and cost of civil litigation. Previously the Idaho Supreme Court identified significant civil litigation issues in Idaho, specifically the increasing costs and decline in civil filings between 2006 and 2015. As a result, it formed the task force in 2016 which has since examined Idaho’s current practices and civil justice landscape, identified concerns, considered reform plans from a number of other states, and made recommendations for change. Following its study, the task force recommended the Idaho Supreme Court adopt 13 recommendations originally developed by the Conference of Chief Justices (CCJ). The proposed changes include fundamentally altering how civil cases flow through the court system, creating three tracks a case can take depending on the resources required. The changes are meant to address rising court fees and declining filings of civil cases; signs that civil procedure costs often outpace the amounts in dispute. Rising costs also cause many meritorious cases to not be pursued. “While the trends of the Idaho court system mirror the issues seen nationwide, we need to do a better job of securing ‘the just, speedy and inexpensive determination of every action and proceeding’ for all civil cases in Idaho, as is our mandate,” said Sara Thomas, Administrative Director of Idaho Courts. “The first step is addressing the far-reaching impacts of lengthy and costly civil litigation by identifying solutions. The next step is change. Because the change recommended by the Idaho Civil Justice Reform Task Force is significant, we want to hear the feedback of Idaho citizens and businesses so we can take the right steps for everyone touched by the court system.” The task force report notes its “recommendations will not resolve all issues affecting civil justice, but should address many accessibility and cost concerns while providing a baseline from which to measure and analyze future cases.” Some of the proposed changes include: • Judges and court staff, not attorneys, to control the pace of litigation based on schedules set shortly after a civil case is filed • Introducing case management teams made of a responsible judge and a support staff who can make routine case management decisions • Making litigation easier for the public to understand and navigate The changes would affect civil cases including collections, contracts, real estate disputes, employment, personal injury and medical malpractice. It would not affect family law or small claims cases. The Idaho Supreme Court is asking for public comment on the recommendations before voting on whether or not to adopt them. The report and technical correction can be found at https://isc.idaho. gov/files/final-report.pdf. The comment period is open through June 30 and all comments should be sent to CourtComments@idcourts.net.

Cup of Tee
It was in August of 1975 when I came back from a visit in Tennessee. Our family went back for a visit in early summer and I ended up staying for the summer. Coming back with my immediate family was my grandmother, my uncle and his family. Arrangements were made for a couple of my cousins, another uncle, and myself to follow later in the summer. The group in my bunch had never been out of the Appalachian Mountains (at best, only 3 or 4 hundred miles). If you have been near the Appalachian Mountains, you know they are rolling hills covered with a blanket of deciduous trees. Visibility is not very far. The final Idaho party of my group consisted of 4 adults and two children, with only one other than myself being out West. We were in a 1972 Torino car. It was very similar to putting 6 people in a Mustang with a bench seat in the back. Not only were we tight, but the air conditioner didn’t work. Since no one had been out West except my cousin who couldn’t remember the route, I became the navigator as well as driver. Nightfall had us going through Indianapolis, Indiana. Prior, I had driven enough and one of the others was driving. We passed by the Indianapolis Speedway and I told my carload that we were passing by the famous racetrack. Shortly past the track as navigator I made an error on the lane we were supposed to be in and I had us heading north instead of west. To keep down a panic and the fact I had made a mistake, I rerouted the car back around. We ended up 100 miles out of our way. Again we go though Indianapolis. One of them in my car said, “WOW, this

town has a big racetrack like that town we were in earlier.” At that moment I knew I had to be fully aware of everything on this trip. In the morning, after gas, I got in the back seat. I had to take a nap. After 24 hours since I left I was tired. I figured they could drive straight for a few hours. We were in that other state so many confuse with Idaho - Iowa. I pointed to the mountains on the western horizon and said, “There are the Rocky Mountains.” They said, “Oh, we will be there in an hour. Correct, Tee?” I replied, “Not hardly. You won’t be there until tomorrow morning!” They had no concept of the distance being from rolling hills and thick trees. Early the next morning (about 4 a.m.) I was driving and woke everyone. “You are now in the Rocky Mountains. Sorry you can’t see them in the daylight.” Nearing home I was going by Firebird Raceway 7 miles south of Emmett, Idaho. There was no mistake this time to go out of the way. I didn’t have to pass a racetrack twice. I was exhausted with 3-4 hours of sleep across the United States - I was home bound. I pointed to Squaw Butte, a large dormant volcano near Emmett and said, “Just on the other side of that mountain we will be to our destination of Sweet, Idaho.” With the 95o weather, everyone panicked. “Oh no, another day’s drive!” I said, “No, we’ll be there in less than an hour.” This is my “Cup of Tee” from the road.
