Roadway Repairs On Highway 75
The Idaho Transportation Department will continue repairs next week on Idaho Highway 75 in Blaine County. Work will occur on two stretches of roadway between River Street and Weyyakin Drive in Ketchum. Additional work will also take place near Hailey. Weather permitting, crews are anticipated to complete work within two weeks. “Our goal is to complete repairs before temperatures drop below 30 degrees,” said ITD area foreman Brad Lynch. “The type of work completed in the coming days will be dependent on how much moisture is in the air.” Some areas will require a detour while work is being performed. Traffic control crews may also be utilized on various stretches of roadway. Motorists are advised to exercise caution and follow signs which will be in place to safely direct drivers through the area. Repairs are expected to take place between 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Avoid The Last Minute Rush: Buy Deer Tags Early
by Brian Pearson, Conservation Public Information Specialist Deer hunters have a lot to look forward to this season, but standing in a long line waiting to buy a tag should not be one of them. Fish and Game is anticipating high volumes of sales immediately before the opening day on Oct. 10. By buying tags early, hunters can avoid the last-minute rush. Hunters have numerous buying options for hunting licenses and tags, but hunters who buy online or by phone should remember to allow seven to 10 business days for their tags to arrive. The license will be immediately available as a PDF. Nonresident general deer tags sold out in late August, and fewer than 300 nonresident/second whitetail deer tags remained as of Tuesday, Sept. 10. You can see how many remain on the nonresident tag sales page, but be aware that it’s only updated once per week, so it may not reflect the actual number of tags available. Nonresident elk tags sold out in mid-August. Hunters are looking forward to a good big game hunting season in Idaho, and they can get details about the upcoming season in deer and elk hunting forecast.

It’s Quitting Time!
It is never too late to quit! On September 26th, South Central Public Health District (SCPHD) is offering a tobacco and nicotine cessation class in Gooding, Idaho, at the public library. Tobacco causes a majority of the preventable death and disease in the United States. According to the CDC, every year more than 440,000 people die from smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke. Meanwhile, around 8.6 million people are living with serious illness as a result of smoking and/or use of smokeless tobacco. Devices that only carry nicotine are also a serious concern for healthcare organizations across the country. Nicotine is a highly addictive drug, and the e-cigarettes (or vaping) devices that carry the drug without
tobacco often contain other chemicals that can wreak havoc on your lungs. “Our classes are designed to help people overcome their addiction and take control of their health,” said Cody Orchard, Health Education Specialist. “These classes are just a start, if you want to quit and can’t make it to a class call (208) 737-5968 and we will work around your schedule.” The Freedom From Smoking® program was developed 35 years ago by the American Lung Association and is offered at no cost. The program has helped hundreds of thousands of people end their addiction to nicotine. September 26th at 6:30 p.m. Gooding Public Library - 306 5th Ave W. The class instructor is also an expert in other nicotine devices, like e-cigarettes (vaping) and chewing tobacco.

Andrea Marie Arkoosh-Cockerham
Andrea Marie Arkoosh-Cockerham, age 56, a resident of Gooding, passed away on Wednesday, September 18th, 2019 at St. Luke’s Hospital in Boise, Idaho. The daughter of Bill and Karen Arkoosh, Andrea was born on September 8th, 1963 in Gooding, Idaho. She was raised on her family’s ranch on the outskirts of town. From a young age, she loved cooking and baking. She eventually began cooking at her family’s restaurant, the Lincoln Inn, and continued her passion for cooking throughout her life, becoming quite famous among family and friends for her love-filled homemade meals. After graduating Gooding High School in 1981, she attended Boise State University, where she studied business. She went on to receive her cosmetology license through Mr. Juan’s Beauty School in Twin Falls, after which she began working in Gooding as a hairdresser with her good friends, Louisa Sorenson, Fran Graves, and Linda Spence. Shortly after moving back to Gooding, she met Mickey Cockerham and four years later he proposed to her in a Pizza Hut in Jerome, Idaho. On November 6th, 1987, Andrea married Mickey at St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church in Gooding. The two of them enjoyed playing softball with their friends, swing-dancing when a good song started playing, and going on adventures in the mountains. Their marriage of 32 years gave them 3 children, Kendra, Gustie, and Clancy. She loved shopping for her kids, taking them on nature walks, pointing out sunsets, dragging them out into the garden to weed and plant, and welcoming all of their many friends into her home and making them feel like one of her own. She made her house into a home for many and it became “the gathering place” for all of her loved ones, filled with her contagious warmth and the smell of fresh baked cookies. As a life-long friend, Cathi James, said of her, “Diamonds were set into her eyes, and bells jingled when she laughed.” She was fun, and silly and incredibly kind. Those she loved, she loved fiercely. She fed them, and held them, listened and cheered. She was a woman of spirit. She pondered life and made memories. She took pictures...of trains, wildflowers, roads and skies. She liked jeeps, red convertibles, a crackling fire-and strong men, like a guy named Mickey. She prayed and gave thanks. She drank coffee and wine with her chocolate chip cookies, and savored sunshine, shade trees and sun flowers. She loved her people and wanted only the best for them, and in the end she said, she felt very loved by all of them. She is survived by her parents - Bill and Karen Arkoosh, her siblings and their spouses - John and Carrie Arkoosh, Michelle and Brent Owen, Susanne and Will Bedke, her many beloved nieces and nephews - Jake, Joe, Ben, Drew, Laney, Braden, Aubryn, and Falon, her husband - Mickey Cockerham, her daughters and their husbands - Kendra and Brandon Barnes and Gustie and Brandon Renner, and her son, her “baby bird” - Clancy Cockerham. She is preceded in death by her grandparents - George and Elsie “Abby” Byard, and her grandmother, Cleo Faulkner. A rosary will be held in her name on Thursday, September 26th at 5 PM at the St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church in Gooding with a reception to follow featuring some of Andrea’s famous chocolate chip cookies and refreshments. A funeral mass will be held on Friday, September 27th at 4 PM, also at St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church with Father E.J. of Boise officiating, with dinner to follow at the Gooding Country Club - with the family’s usual flair and abundance. Please come and gather. All are welcome. Condolences, memories and photos may be shared at www.demarayfuneralservice.com.

Idaho public health officials have confirmed two cases of serious respiratory disease among people who use electronic cigarettes or other vaping devices. State and local public health agencies, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and U.S. Food and Drug Administration are investigating severe pulmonary disease among people who use e-cigarettes or vape, with 450 possible cases reported to date in 33 states and 1 U.S. territory. Five deaths have been reported from other states. The two Idaho patients are recovering. Consumers who use vaping products and e-cigarettes are urged to avoid buying products from the street and to refrain from modifying or adding any substances to products purchased in stores. Individuals who have recently used vaping products such as e-cigarettes and are having difficulty breathing should seek medical attention immediately. Clinicians have been asked to be on alert for signs of serious respiratory illness among patients who recently used vaping products, including e-cigarettes, and report any cases to public health officials as the nationwide investigation continues. “Idaho healthcare providers are notifying us of patients with severe respiratory symptoms who report vaping in the days or weeks before they became very sick,” said Deputy State Epidemiologist Dr. Kathryn Turner. “We are investigating each report and looking for things that might be common among the patients as well as asking about the types of vaping products and devices people have used to try and pinpoint the source of these illnesses.” Patients have had symptoms that include cough, shortness of breath and/or chest pain that has grown worse over a period of days or weeks before admission to the hospital. Other symptoms may include fever, fatigue, nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhea. The reports received from Idaho providers are among teenagers and young adults. Idaho public health officials are concerned about the health risks of vaping products. Many teens have dangerous misperceptions that vaping is harmless. Most vaping products contain nicotine, the addictive drug in regular cigarettes, cigars, and other tobacco products. Nicotine exposure during adolescence can impact learning, memory, attention, and harm the developing brain. Using nicotine in adolescence can also increase risk for future addiction to other drugs. In addition to nicotine, the aerosol users inhale and exhale from vaping can potentially expose them to other harmful substances, including heavy metals, volatile organic compounds, and ultrafine particles that can be inhaled deeply into the lungs. Many vaping products come in kid-friendly flavors making vaping more appealing to young people. Some of the chemicals used to make certain flavors may also have health risks. It is very important for teens and parents to understand more about vaping. If you or someone you know is ready to quit using nicotine-containing products, including tobacco and vaping products such as e-cigarettes, free help is available from the following resources:
800-QUIT-NOW (800-784-8669) www.projectfilter.org
