Building America in Lincoln County
The Union Pacific Foundation recently anounced generous grants to 32 Idaho nonprofit organizations, including Saddle Up Lincoln County. This is the second grant that the Union Pacific Foundation has given Saddle Up Lincoln County in support of the Nutritional Food Values program. This program provides qualiaty perishable protein items to food pantries in Lincoln County. Saddle Up Lincoln County administers the grant which provides food for 125 to 140 families for a least six months. The railroad came through Shoshone over 130 years ago. Like thousands of little towns across the country, the arrival of the railroad changed everything. Suddenly our vast country wasn’t so big - most places were just a train ride away.
Today, people still have a hard time going anywhere Lincoln County without noticing or crossing the railroad tracks which go right through the middle of Shoshone. Union Pacific trains pass through the area many times each day, making them a big part of that community. Union Pacific has a long standing history of supporting and improving the quality of life in the communities where its employees live and work. Saddle Up Lincoln County recognizes and appreciates Union Pacific’s civic leadership, and its role as an outstanding corporate citizen. The grant from the Union Pacific Foundation’s “Building America” program will make Saddle Up’s goal of “Striving for a Healthy and Prosperous Community” a lot easier to acheive.

Bird Hunting In Idaho Most of Idaho will open for waterfowl hunting on October 17, excluding Area 1 in southeast Idaho which opened October 3rd. The statewide daily bag limit is seven ducks; but not more than two female mallard, three scaup, two redhead, two pintail, and two canvasback. The daily goose bag limit is four Canada geese; 10 white-fronted geese; and 20 for light geese (Snow and Ross’ geese). The possession limit is three times the daily bag limit. The upcoming season looks to be excellent nationally with record numbers of ducks available for hunters. Most waterfowl in Idaho are produced from breeding areas in southern Alberta and Saskatchewan, which had fair-to-good nesting conditions during spring. The regular 2015 pheasant season also gets underway October 17 in Area 2 and 3, excluding Area 1 in northern Idaho which opened October 10th. The pheasant season runs through November 30 in Area 2 and through December 31 in Area 1 and 3. continued on page 7.....
