    Idaho Matters discusses the importance of menopause knowledge Jan 15, 2024

    Approximately half of all Americans will go through menopause. However, it remains an under-discussed topic, leaving many scared and uninformed about the changes they are experiencing.

    It also leaves them in the dark when it comes to perimenopause symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats and hormone therapy.

    Idaho Matters spent an hour talking about this important topic with three experts in the field:

    • Jill Gustafson, a certified nurse midwife and menopause specialist with Quantum Women's Health
    • Dr. Paru David, internist and women's health specialist at the Mayo Clinic and menopause-certified practitioner by the North American Menopause Society
    • Dr. Tali Sobel, women's health internist at the Mayo Clinic and menopause-certified practitioner by the North American Menopause Society

    The experts spoke with Gemma about the difference between early perimenopause, perimenopause and menopause; symptoms and temporary treatments; misinformation around hormone replacement therapy; sexual health and how to advocate for yourself to get the help and treatment you need.

    How to remove your signature from an initiative petition Jan 11, 2024

    Last month, the chairwoman of the Idaho GOP, Dorothy Moon, sent out a newsletter taking issue with an initiative petition currently circulating in Idaho.
    If the petition gets enough signatures, it would put a choice on the ballot, allowing voters to decide if they want to require open primaries in Idaho and change to a ranked choice voting system.

    As of Wednesday, Jan. 10, the Idahoans for Open Primaries group had gathered just over 54,000 signatures from around the state; they need around 63,000, including a percentage from 18 legislative districts.

    In the newsletter, Moon tells her readers the petition is a bad idea and says if you’ve already signed it, you can recant your signature.

    We wanted to know, can you do that? Jaclyn Kettler is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Boise State, and she joined Idaho Matters to help us figure this out.

    What the constitution has to say about Trumps defense Jan 11, 2024

    Former president Donald Trump faces several court cases in the next few months and is invoking parts of the U.S. Constitution in his defense.

    Trump says he is immune to prosecution for anything that happened while he was president. He also says his criminal prosecution interferes with the presidential election.

    How does the Constitution weigh in on these points? Dr. David Adler, the President of the Alturas Institute, will tackle this question next Wednesday during one of his Constitutional Conversations at the Yanke Center in Boise. In the meantime, he joined Idaho Matters for a preview.

    In Boise's east end, a very old stone building has a unique history of helping children in need.

    The Children's Home Society of Idaho has been giving kids who have lost their parents a place of shelter and safety. It was founded in 1908, and over the course of 50 years, it gave more than 6,000 children a home.

    Now, hundreds of children each year go through the doors of the building for everything from grief counseling to music therapy, regardless of their ability to pay, but the building itself is in need of a little TLC, including a new roof and other repairs.

    The M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust is giving the society $400,000 to keep the doors open and restore this historic Warm Springs Avenue treasure.

    Anselme Sadiki, Executive Director of the Children's Home Society of Idaho, joined Idaho Matters to talk more.

    It’s been a busy week in Boise's City Council as newly elected members stood next to their colleagues to be sworn into office.

    This is the youngest council in the city’s history. They chose to make Colin Nash the new president, and council member Meredith Stead was chosen to be the new city council Pro Tem.

    Stead is no stranger to public service, and our Morning Edition host George Prentice sat down with her for an extended interview to talk about why she serves and about some of the top issues facing Idaho's capital city.

    Hundreds of Americans are still dying each week from COVID-19, according to CDC data. For the last four weeks, the average death rate in the U.S. due to COVID was 1,488.

    By comparison, there were 163 weekly deaths from the flu. And COVID-19 levels are once again on the rise as a new variant makes up more than 60% of all cases right now.

    Dr. David Pate, former CEO of St. Luke's Health System, joined Idaho Matters to talk more.

    Acting Deputy Secretary of the Interior Laura Daniel-Davis said Tuesday the Biden administration was giving $138 million to Idaho and other states to protect against wildfires.
    The money will be used for everything from wildland firefighter training to reducing the risk of fire and restoring areas that have already burned, including deer and elk habitat in southwest Idaho, which will use some of the money to plant native plants and remove invasive species that have sprouted up after a series of fires in 2022.

    In other news, we’re also learning that wildfires can leave nasty chemicals behind and in the air and wildfires are also putting insurance companies in a bind.

    Mount West News Bureau correspondent Murphy Woodhouse joined Idaho Matters to give us an update on the wildland fire news.

    Imagine skiing cross-country as fast as you can until you’re tired, then holding absolutely still and trying to hit a target more than 150 feet away. That’s what biathletes do over and over every time they compete.
    Idaho is known for producing world-class biathletes, from Boise native Sara Studebaker-Hall, who competed in two Olympics, to Lyle Nelson of McCall, who competed four times in the Olympic Biathlon.

    Now, a new generation is breaking records. 17-year-old Molly Maybach just made the USA team as its youngest youth biathlete and is heading to South Korea to compete in the Winter Youth Olympic Games on Jan. 20. She joined Idaho Matters to talk more about her sport.
