Health District Press Release TheCentersforDiseaseControlandPre-vention(CDC)hasreportedwidespreadin-fluenza activity in a majority of the United States. With flu-related deaths on the rise and questions about the effectiveness of the vaccine, South Central Public Health District (SCPHD) wants to remind the public the importance of still getting vac-cinated and some facts about this year’s flu season. “Epidemic can be an alarming word, but it really means that a certain disease, in this case seasonal flu, is making a widespread occurrence. As a public health agency we work diligently to keep a close eye on flu activities within our communities and on

What You Should Know About the Current Flu Seasoneducating the public,” said Cheryle Beck-er, SCPHD Family and Children’s Health Division Administrator. “We realize that the public is questioning the effectiveness of this year’s flu vaccine. Every year the CDC studies samples of circulating flu vi-ruses and tries to match up the next year’s vaccine. Unfortunately, flu viruses change constantly; they most often change from one season to the next and they can even change within the course of the flu sea-son.” A flu virus changing is known as “drift” and according to the CDC, because of this occurrence, there is always the possibility of a less than optimal match between cir-

Can Do Additude for the Libraryelse is useless without that skill. But, if there are no books to read, how can you truly learn to read? Claire and Gary Major are working to make sure that is not a problem for the Good-ing Public Library by col-lecting aluminum cans. The funds raised by selling those cans will be used to pur-chase new books for the li-brary. Unfortunately, many people and businesses have stopped saving cans. You CAN help though, by saving your cans and donat-ing them to the library - even a small grocery bag full will help. Just bring them to the

Gooding Library (306 5th Ave. West) or call Gary at 934-4134 and he will come and pick them up. You can also take them to the local recyling center and tell them the cans are for the library. The recyling center will also take other metal things (old machinery, ap-pliences, car parts, etc.) as a donation to the library. Public service is about supporting something you love or something you be-lieve in, and that is exactly what Mr. & Mrs. Major are doing. Next time you see them, give them a big thank you (and a bag of cans).

A Good Start for Idaho’s Water Supply The Natural Resources Conservation Service just re-leased the first water supply outlook report for the 2015 water year. Precipitation since the water year started on October 1, 2014, varies across the state with the majority of the watershed basins at 90 to 105% of normal. “January 15th marks winter’s half way point which is when Mother Nature usually deposits half of the winter’s snowfall in our mountains,” said Ron Abramovich, Water Supply Specialist with the Idaho Natural Resources Con-servation Service. “So far southern Idaho snowpacks are faring well this year with most basins ranging from 90 to 120% of average, although several lower elevation basins are below that range.” Typically north Idaho receives more precipitation than southern Idaho; however, the average snowpacks for northern Idaho are below normal. The lowest snowpack percentages are in the Spokane and Northern Panhandle Region. Luckily, there are several more months of winter weather to maintain or improve the snowpacks in all ba-sins. Based on Idaho’s Surface Water Supply Index, water supplies around the state should be adequate with some exceptions for the central Idaho basins. With near normal spring and summer streamflows projected across most of the state, and half the winter still to come, expect the wa-ter supply outlook to change. For information on specific basins, streams, and reser-voirs, please view the full report online at January Water Supply Outlook Report.

Many of you have asked how much I charge for obituaries. The answer is “I don’t.” It has always seem distasteful to do so, and besides, many of those who find their way on to these pages are people I have known all my life or individuals I have come to know over the years of doing this newspaper.

Therefore, it is a privilege to give these friends of mine one last honor.

Mona and Dick were blessed with two grandchildren and three great grandchildren, all residing in Seattle, Washington. Mona worked along Dick’s side for 30 years at the Mar-low Meat Market in Wendell. She then went to work as a cook at Wendell Elementary where she was famous for her delicious Homemade rolls. After retirement from there, she became a cashier at Simerly’s where everyone knew her and loved her warm greetings. Mona helped with Jobs Daughters when Regie was a member.

I have said this before, but it is worth re-peating... I do not publish anonymous let-

ters to the editor. I understand why some people would like to do so, and some of the reasons are almost compel-ling. There is, however, the issue of credibility. In our small towns, there are people who have credibili-ty, and those who do not. While it is often unfair, the name on a letter to the editor tells readers whether the content of that letter is valid or not. Sometimes that is a good thing; sometimes that judgement is based on the wrong criteria. One letter I recently received was quite good and I agreed with much of what it said. The writer politely asked if I would leave their name off. Although the writ-er gained a great deal of my respect because of what they said, I had to say no. About the same time, another letter came regarding the same subject. This one had no signature and no indication of the writer’s identity (actually, I think I do know who wrote it, but that’s irrelevant). This letter asked a question that should be addressed, “Why hasn’t the City of Fairfield answered the questions presented in Bill Knox’s letters?” The answer is quite simple... Bill Knox had no credibility, at least in the minds of the City Council and many the residents of Fairfield. That doesn’t mean that Mr. Knox is asking ques-tions that shouldn’t be answered, it just means that the City Council doesn’t want to get into an argument with someone who isn’t willing to accept the answers that have already been given. If you must know, the truth is that the infamous “$47,000” is not lost or stolen or embezzled, it is just the result of the economic hardship that many of us have felt over the last several years. While some of you have never missed paying a bill in your entire life, many of us live month to month, paying bills as we can. Some of us have given up and walked away from financial obligations resulting in foreclosures. When that happens, not only do banks loose money, cities don’t get paid for services and taxes go in arrears. The City of Fairfield is working hard to collect the “lost” money, but the reality is that some of that debt will never be resolved. It will just have to be written off. There is another part of this issue that we should con-sider. Do we really want our city to be so hard-nosed that it can’t show a little leniency now and then? Rather than being incendiary towards our public offi-cials, as Mr. Knox has been, we should just talk to them and try to understand what the truth really is.

StoppingFederal Education Mandates

Crapo introduces bill giving more autonomyto states and local school districts

Washington, D.C. – School districts would not have to fear losing federal funding because of local curriculum decisions if legislation introduced today by Idaho Senator Mike Crapo becomes law. Crapo introduced the Local Leadership in Education Act, which amends the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) to for-bid “any officer or employee of the Federal Government from being able to mandate, direct or control a State, local education agency, or school’s academic standards, cur-riculum, program of instruction, or allocation of State or local resources.” It also removes the burdensome annual federal testing requirements implemented in the most re-cent reauthorization of ESEA, also referred to as No Child Left Behind (NCLB). The removal of these requirements would permit states to choose how and when to measure student performance and growth. Crapo’s bill would amend the Elementary and Second-ary Education Act (ESEA) to prohibit the federal govern-ment from:

· Mandating, directing, or controlling academic standards or curriculum · Incentivizing the adoption of any specific standards · Conditioning the availability of financial support on adoption of any specific instructional content, standards, curriculum etc. or administration of tests to students · Requiring states to test students annually or at all

Crapo has long sought to eliminate federal mandates on state and local districts. The federal government must not be a national school board,” Crapo said. “Too often, state and local educators spend too much time dealing with federal mandates when it is local leaders that know what’s best for their students. Decisions closer to the classroom are more focused on the spe-cific circumstances and needs of individual students rather than a one-size fits all approach promulgated by bureaucrats in Washington, D.C.” Crapo noted Congress has taken initial steps to reau-thorize the ESEA creating an opportunity to give more autonomy to states and school districts when determin-ing what policies will best suit the needs of their stu-dents. “These decisions must be made at the local lev-el. The federal government can be a willing partner in

funding education; however, it should not pressure states through funding and relief from outmoded federal poli-cies to adopt academic standards.” With the Local Leadership in Education Act, states make the decision on what testing requirements are appropriate and make the most sense for their students.

culating viruses and the viruses in the vaccine. So many people ask “can the vaccine provide protection even if the vaccine is not a good match?” “It is important to remember that the flu vaccine con-tains three or four flu viruses so even if there is a less than ideal match or lower effectiveness against one virus, the vaccine may protect against the other viruses and prevent serious complications from influenza in many people” says Becker. The CDC continues to recommend flu vaccination for everyone 6 months and older. Vaccination is particularly important for people at high risk for serious flu complica-tions (the elderly, children under the age of two, people with chronic health conditions such as those involving the lungs and heart, diabetes or cancer and pregnant wom-en). Medication is available to help shorten the duration of influenza symptoms. This medication must be started within the first 2 days of symptoms to be most effective. Persons with high risk medical conditions may check with their doctor about obtaining the medication even if they have been sick for more than 2 days. Last fall, SCPHD hosted flu clinics in several Senior Centers throughout south central Idaho and offered Flu-Mist for children at several schools and still has a limited amount of vaccine available for anyone interested in get-ting vaccinated. The flu virus is contagious and spreads quickly, particu-larly in group settings such as schools and workplaces. The flu is contagious before symptoms start, so practic-ing 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 intotheirsleeve. · Stay home when sick.

After the Civil War the nation took great strides in the medical field. Every

chemist was trying to create a cure-all elixir or salve to ease pain, cure disease, or aid in injury. The Industrial

Revolution was halted by the Civil War but back in full force in the 1880’s. In fact, France started the Panama Canal in 1881 but due to diseases and construction costs, ceased operation (the U.S. took over in 1900). So, from 1865 to the mid to late 1880’s, the United States saw patents of every kind, especially in cure-all potions, lotions, and drinks. You may recognize a few inventions listed below. In 1859 Robert Augustus Chesebrough, a Brooklyn chem-ist, was facing closure in his kerosene business. With a trip to Titusville, Pennsylvania, he was intrigued with the jelly residue that gunked up the drilling rods on oil wells. Worker has told him that the jelly aided in quick healing to wounds and burns if applied. The purification of the petroleum lard into a smooth gel lead to the production of Vaseline in 1887. In 1885 brothers William Hesketh and James Lever formed Sunlight, the world’s first packaged brand name laundry soup. In 1885 they also invented an antiseptic soap called Lifebuoy Health Soap, which was later shortened to Lifebuoy. Dr. Joseph Lawrence heard a lecture in 1879 by Sir Joseph Lister, a British surgeon who pioneered sanitary operating room procedures. Impressed by Lister’s views for antiseptic surgery, Lawrence developed an antiseptic effective in surgical proce-dures. Lawrence named the new antiseptic Listerine in honor of Sir Joseph Lister. In 1895 sales were extended to the dental profession and in 1914 made available to the general public. Dr. John Styth Pemberton, inventor of Globe of Flower Cough Syrup, Indian Queen Hair Dye, Triplex Liver Pills, and Extract of Styllinger, was trying to duplicate a wine elixir made with coca. In May of 1886 Pemberton developed a thick syrup drink from sugar water, a kola nut extract, and coca. For busi-ness purposes the “K” in Kola was changed to a “C”, and the beginning of Coca-Cola was founded. Coca-Cola outsells Pepsi-Cola worldwide 2 to 1. Only once has the recipe to Coca-Cola been changed. In 1985 Pepsi-Cola outsold Coca-Cola and Coca-Cola sweetened their drink calling it New Coke. That was a marketing fiasco of the decade with the public forcing them back to the original recipe, or Coca-Cola Classic. I remember the change of recipe and it was horrible. Through the years many things have been used as cure-alls. Most of them didn’t work. Some made progress with more work. Today, in our economy, they are still looking for cure-alls or something to fix problems. The biggest one I can see is gaso-line. Currently, we are getting a break in fuel prices, but our state needs to fix its infrastructure such as bridges and roads. For once we are lower than the U.S. average fuel price but it looks like we are going to have to raise prices. Maybe we should increase the amount of lottery winners so people will spend more instead of taxing gasoline to make us lose. This is my “Cup of Tee” Elixir doubting cure-all.

CSI Herrett Forum Brian Attebery, a well-known editor, scholar, and author of three fantasy/science fiction books, will be the guest speaker at the next Herrett Forum at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 21. In his presentation titled ‘Daydreams and Night-mares: Utopias and Dystopias from Fahrenheit 451 to The Hunger Games,’ Attebery will speak about the young adult dystopia, a form that is hugely popular at the mo-ment. The talk will address the dystopian nightmare along with its half-forgotten twin, the utopian dream. Both genres are necessary challenges to the status quo. The

utopia reminds us of hopes we have forgotten, while the dystopia spurs us to fight for justice and freedom and thought. Attebery, who teaches at Idaho State University, has edited a schol-arly journal called the Journal of the Fantastic in the Arts, and he occa-sionally writes for the Los Angeles Review of Books.
