Pilot

Diabetes Education Program

Receives $5,000 Select Health Grant

Family Health Services (FHS) has received a $5,000 grant from Select Health that will support the piloting of a Diabetes Self-Management and Education Support (DSMES) program.

This program was designed by Megan Williams at the Shoshone Family Medical Center, which transitioned into an FHS clinic in 2022. Williams brings her experience to FHS as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Licensed Dietitian, and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist.

In 2022, FHS treated 2,930 patients with diabetes. From January to July of 2023, FHS has treated 2,767 patients. Anticipating the number of patients diagnosed with diabetes to increase within one year, FHS has recognized the need for an education program that focuses on diabetes self-management practices.

Benefits of this program include lower A1C levels, less hospital admissions or readmissions, fewer ER visits, reduced stress, and improved self-care behaviors that often improve a patient’s lifelong management of the disease.

“This is a pilot program, but it provides in-depth education about the diabetes disease process in an easy to understand method, in patients' appropriate language,” said Williams. “Every patient with diabetes can benefit from evidence-based education about the disease as well as current treatments to improve and maintain the quality of their life,” said Dr. Davis.

“FHS hopes to expand the program to the organization’s largest clinic at 388 Martin St. in Twin Falls and hire two new DSMES-trained staff members. FHS will eventually offer DSMES to patients with diabetes at all medical sites,” said CEO Aaron Houston.

The FHS award is among 10 grants presented statewide by Select Health, a non-profit organization that provides health insurance to more than 1 million members in Idaho, Utah and Nevada. Select Health is a division of Intermountain Health.

The Select Health Awards support non-profits and other organizations that provide services for improving health in Idaho. The $5,000 grants are intended to address three focus areas:

All Bound Up with Field Bindweed

by Camas Bug Crew

Take a drive along Camas roads and look out in the fields. You will see a carpet of green with purple, violet, and white blossoms. Say, “Hello” to field bindweed. Today’s invader is quite the weed. Scientists have found roots from this weed as far down as 20 feet! Good luck pulling that! It would do no good anyway because this weed just sends out tubers laterally and pops back up three feet away. Here is what you need to know.

Field bindweed is a creeping perennial vine native to Eurasia. It can grow from 0.3 to 2 m in length and often forms dense infestations consisting of one or more clones. Leaves are round to arrow-shaped 2.5 to 2.7 cm long and alternate along a prostrate stem. Flowering occurs in the mid-summer, when white to pale pink, funnel-shaped flowers develop and continues into early fall. Flowers are typically 1.9-2.5 cm in diameter and are subtended by small bracts. Seed pods are pointed and approximately 5 mm long. Each pod contains four rough, pear-shaped seeds which can remain viable in the soil for up to 10 years and as long as 50 years under the right conditions. Field bindweed is thought to have been introduced into North America as a contaminant in crop seed as early as 1739. Plants tolerate a wide range of environmental conditions and elevations-from cultivated fields to waste areas. This invasive species is present in all 48 contiguous states and Hawaii. There is a biological predator to bindweed.

155 B Avenue E -- Wendell, Idaho

ACMA is a gall-forming Eriophyid mite which stunts, reduces plant density, and reduces flowering in field bindweed. Galls are typically found on the leaves or stem buds. The stems form compact clusters of stunted leaves when they are attacked. When the leaves are attacked, they fold or twist upward along the midrib where the mite feeding occurs. These agents are present year-round producing multiple generations per year. The two nymphal stages resemble the adults but lac external genitalia. The adults are microscopic and worm-like with an annulate body with two pairs of legs on the combined head and thorax the soft-bodied adults are increasingly available from establishing field sites. Galls can be handpicked and stored for several weeks if refrigerated. Wrapping infested stems around bindweed plants or transferring individual galls to the tip of the stem are the best methods to conduct new releases.

Bindweed can really be a menace. The best plan is to keep it under control. Tilling, biological control, and spaying are a few options. If you are bound up with bindweed, it might be a good idea to give Terry Lee (Camas weed superintendent) a call and see what he has to say. He can be reached at 208-764-3512.

Born on January 14, 1927 in Gooding, Idaho, to Orien Pratt and Ileta Osborne. Bonnie’s life was a beautiful journey of love and devotion. It was during her time at Gooding High School that she met her soulmate – Manuel Aspitarte whom she married on August 17, 1946. Together, they built a life filled with love and cherished the blessings of their three wonderful daughters: Diane, Jolene and Jewel. Bonnie’s unwavering commitment as a wife and mother left a profound impact on her family, spanning generations with her unconditional love, selflessness and boundless compassion.

Bonnie was an extraordinary woman who touched the hearts and souls of everyone she encountered. She loved being around her friends and family, playing Bridge and bowling. Throughout her life she exuded warmth and tenderness while embracing those around her with open arms. Bonnie’s love knew no bounds, she had a unique way of making tough moments easier and was renowned for giving the best hugs. Her wit, humor and fun-loving personality was infectious. Her life was a testament to the power of love, faith and joy. Faith was the foundation of Bonnie’s life; she lived every day with an unwavering devotion to God. Though we grieve her loss, we find solace in the words of A.A. Milne, who said, “How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.” Indeed, saying farewell to Bonnie is difficult, but let us also celebrate the remarkable legacy she leaves behind. Her life was a testament to the power of love, faith and joy, and her caring soul left an indelible impact on all who knew her. As we cherish her memory, her teachings will continue to guide and inspire us.

Bonnie is now reunited with her loved ones who have gone before her: Orien Pratt ~ father; Ileta Osborne ~ mother; Manuel Aspitarte ~ husband; Jolene Stackhouse ~ daughter; Donald Jordan ~ brother; Dick Jordan ~ brother; and Coy Davis ~ son-in-law.

She is survived by her cherished daughters – Diane Davis and Jewel Lee Turner; along with her beloved grandchildren: Tracy Brown, Jody Haines, Amy Stackhouse, Olen Turner Jr. and Amanda Turner. Additionally, she leaves behind her great grandchildren: Brian Brown, Jason Brown, Olen Turner III, Torin Turner, Charlotte Turner and Jaydyn Turner, as well as her great great grandchild ~ Cooper Brown.

As we come together to mourn her passing, let us also celebrate the beautiful life of Bonnie Jean Aspitarte, a remarkable woman who left an enduring mark on all our lives.

A private family inurnment will take place on Saturday, August 5, 2023, at the Hagerman Cemetery in Hagerman.

Harmful Algal Bloom at Salmon Falls Creek Reservoir

South Central Public Health District (SCPHD) is issuing a public health advisory for Salmon Falls Creek Reservoir after recent testing from the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) shows levels of a cyanotoxin, Microcystin, are now at unhealthy levels in the reservoir. Increased levels of this toxin are caused by toxin-producing cyanobacteria. Exposure to this toxin can be harmful to people, pets, and livestock.

When recreating at Salmon Falls Creek Reservoir the public is advised to take the following steps to protect their health:

Avoid exposure to water in reservoirs under a HAB health advisory. Make sure children, pets, and livestock are not exposed to the water. Do not drink water with a HAB advisory. Boiling and disinfecting DO NOT remove toxins from water.

Do not allow pets to eat dried algae

If you choose to eat fish from HAB water, remove all fat, skin, and organs before cooking. Toxins are more likely to collect in those tissues. Wash hands after handling. Cyanobacteria are a natural part of Idaho’s water bodies. When temperatures rise, their populations can bloom and toxic chemical compounds, or cyanotoxins, can be released into the water. Blooms don’t all look the same. They may look like mats, foam, spilled paint, or surface scum, and have a foul odor. Mats can be out of sight on the bottom of the water body.

HABs are not unusual in warm summer months and typically shrink quickly as the water temperature drops in mid to late fall. SCPHD will issue another press release when toxin levels are safe.

Hunter Certification in Camas County 5 of 12 Seats Remaining

Hunter Ed Certification is required for all hunters born on or after January 1, 1975, in order to purchase an Idaho hunting license. Hunters who show proof of a previously held hunting license or hunter education certificate from Idaho or another state are exempt. All courses are open for anyone ages 9 to adult.

Students will learn hunting laws and ethics; responsibility to landowners; hunting skills; wildlife identification; survival skills and first aid; and wildlife management and conservation. Instructor-led and hybrid courses will provide hands-on instruction on firearm handling and safety.

An Instructor Led Sesson will be held at Camas School (610 Soldier Road in Fairfield) on Saturday, August 19 (9:00am - 3:00pm) and Sunday, August 20 (9:00am - 1:00pm).
