Chips. Soda. Candy bars. We are all familiar with a vending machine. But a Light the World Giving Machine is something special. It allows everyone, no matter the age or income, to become a philanthropist. With the push of a button, lives on both sides of the glass are impacted.
“This is a way to reach out and serve individuals, one by one, just as the Savior did,” said Elder Stephen J. Larson Area Authority for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. “These giving machines are a way to bring more light to our already caring community.”
For the first time, these life-changing vending machines are coming to Idaho and bringing along a real life lesson for giving. Users will be able to donate a variety of much-needed items for local and global charities. Starting November 22nd and running through December 2nd, the Light the World Giving Machines will be in downtown Boise on the Grove Plaza. For December 3rd through the 13th, they will move to the Indian Creek Plaza in Caldwell. They then will make the trip over to Meridian where they will be at the Village from December 14th through December 31st.
“This is such a wonderful opportunity for people in the community to get this unique chance to give,” said Reverend Bill Roscoe, CEO of the Boise Rescue Mission. “To have people be able to walk up to a machine and select an item they want to give, it is just amazing.”
The Boise Rescue Mission will be one of five local charities represented...

Warrant Scam Targets Idaho Courts
Idaho's Administrative Office of the Courts has received reports of a fraudulent "warrant" being texted to members of the public. The image purports to be signed by a judge and threatens a person's arrest for failing to appear before a grand jury.
The "warrant" document is fraudulent and is not in any way connected to the Idaho courts. Courts will not text or otherwise issue letters about warrants to the public in this fashion.
Court officials in Ada County and with Idaho's federal courts recently reported an uptick in scams involving people pretending to be from the courts or related law enforcement.
If you get a message like this one:
☞Do not reply to the sender, or to any phone numbers or email addresses provided by the sender.
☞Do not provide the sender any payment or personal information. As recently noted in other scam alerts, government officials will not ask you to pay bail, fines or other court costs using gift cards or cryptocurrency.
If you get a message related to court proceedings or court service and are unsure if it is legitimate, contact the court involved using their publicly available contact information. The Idaho state courts maintain a state courthouse directory at: https://isc.idaho.gov/files
School Levies on November 5th
In our area, there are four levy requests on the ballot for November 5th: Camas, Joint School District #231, and Joint School District #261.
The Camas County School District #121, Camas County is asking for two levies. One for $225,000 to help pay salaries, and to provide supplies/materials for the school. They are also asking for a $75,000 levy to pay salaries and benefits pertaining to the continuation of the fine arts program.
The Joint School District #231 (Gooding & Lincoln Counties) is requesting $759,000 to help with: Salaries/Benefits for Teachers and Staff; School Resource Officers; Safety and Security; Classroom Supplies and Curriculum: Technology Devices & Software; and Maintenance and Transportation.
The Joint School District #261 (Jerome, Lincoln and Gooding Counties) is asking voters to approve a $1,750,000 levy to pay for: Non-Reimbursed Transportation; Purchase New and Used School Buses; Program and Software Licenses; and a portion of Salaries & Benefits for Classified Staff & Extra Curricular Staff.
Constitutional Amendment
Along with Proposition One (Open Primary/Ranked Choice Voting) there is a proposed amendment the Idaho Constitution regarding "Qualifications of Electors". If approved, language would be added to the state constitution to prohibit individuals who are not citizens of the United States from voting in any election held within the State of Idaho.
Currently, the Idaho Secretary of State requires citizenship and proof of residency for individuals to register to vote. Also, federal statute provides that it is a crime for a noncitizen to vote in any federal election.
Opponents of the change claim that election fraud involving noncitizens is insignificant, and adding this language could inadvertently create barriers to registering to vote by new citizens and state residents. Also the proposed amendment will undermine control of local elections by preventing local governments to authorize non-citizens to vote.
Proponents of the change site efforts in other states to expand voting rights to noncitizens. Also, this amendment is needed to prevent future government officials from granting non-citizens the right to vote in Idaho elections.

Hockey is the Best!
In my opinion, hockey is the best sport in history of all sports. I love it all; the big bang hits, goals, saves, at the Idaho Steelheads game the jumbo jack. Here's why you should love hockey too.
Did you know the first indoor hockey game was in 1875? That's a long time ago, 149 years wow! The top 5 NHL superstars are Bobby Orr, Gordie Howe, Wayne Gretzky, and Mario Lemioux. Wayne Gretzky had 894 goals and 1963 points (goals+assists) and 50 games with 3 goals or more so 50 hat tricks. He played 1929-1999 playing for 4 whole teams: The Rangers, Oilers, Kings, and the Blues. Did you know before games hockey pucks are frozen in the freezer before games? This is because the frozen pucks slide better. The Stanley Cup (Hockey Trophy) has been won by the Montreal Canadiens 24 times in only 149 years. Did you know that if both goalies get hurt in a game they have one emergency goalie? Miracle on Ice (hockey movie) is one of the top 10 moments in sport history. IT is based on a real event. Did you know that hockey was born in Ancient Egypt? They played a similar game, but on a field. Did you know that old hockey pucks were made out of frozen cow dung?
I love hockey. It is a great sport to watch and play. You should get into hockey this season; it starts on October 4th. written by Iker Gallegos
Dragon Fish
Dragon fish live very deep in the ocean. Dragon fish are the master of luminescence. Luminescence is that ability to glow in the dark. Dragon fish are one of the only fish that can see in the deep sea and see red. Dragon fish eat super small fish and crustaceans. The fish are attracted to luminescence, like some species of shrimp. On top of having a light, dragon fish also give a deadly sting. However, a female dragon fish is about 20 inches long a male dragon fish are about 2 to 6 inches. Dragon fish are an amazing creature in the animal kingdom! written by Marcy Burgess
The King Cobra
The king cobra is the longest of all venomous snakes in the world. Each bite has enough venom to kill three elephants in three hours. Their venom is a deadly neurotoxic. King cobras have three small teeth. Cobras cab spit up to eight feet 1.2 to 2.4 meters. What makes cobras even scarier is that cobras run 12 mph. Cobras can also swim and they can climb trees.
You can tell a cobra when you see one by its unique "hood". Cobras hoods around their necks are actually their ribs. The predator of the cobra is the mongoose, but cobras actually will eat each other. Female cobras make nests.
King cobras live for a long time. King cobras live for 20 years. I think cobras are the scariest snakes ever, thank goodness they don't live around here. written by Christopher Medel

Laura Loe Madron
Laura Lou Madron (Freeman), affectionately known as Laura Lou, Lala, Granny, and Grammy, passed away peacefully on September 29, 2024. Born on February 6, 1942, in Marley, Idaho, Laura was a cherished daughter of Junius Eugene (Gene) Freeman and Stella Freeman (Johnson). Growing up on a ranch near Burmah Road in Richfield, Idaho, she developed a deep love for horses and the simple joys of farm life.
Laura attended school in Richfield in early years and moved to Twin Falls in 1958. She graduated from Twin Falls High School in 1960 and briefly attended Idaho State College in Pocatello, pursuing a bookkeeping degree. In a fateful encounter while dragging main street in Twin Falls in 1958, Laura met her future husband, Bennett William Madron. This chance meeting blossomed into a remarkable 66-year relationship, culminating in a 63-year marriage that was rooted in love and companionship.
Laura and Ben built their life together in Twin Falls, where they welcomed their son, Brett William Madron, in 1965, and their daughter, Brooke Anne Madron, in 1968. Throughout her colorful career, Laura brought warmth, laughter, and dedication to every role she held—from her time at the Arctic Circle during high school, where her smile was unforgettable, to her roles as a legal secretary, County Clerk’s Office employee, and finally, as a valued member of the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare until her retirement in 2004.
Family was at the heart of Laura's life. She treasured the moments spent with her husband, children, grandchildren, and great grandchild always looking forward to family gatherings. Laura enjoyed bowling with friends in her early marriage and cherished outings with her "girls" for golf and lunch, her laughter echoing wherever she went. She shared a special bond with her daughter Brooke, speaking daily and finding comfort in their connection during her health challenges.
Laura’s spirit remained fierce and adventurous throughout her life. A lover of camping and dirt-biking, she and Ben enjoyed many overnight motorcycle trips through Idaho's breathtaking mountains. She supported Ben's passion for cars, accompanying him to countless races and shows. They spent many wonderful winters in Arizona, relishing retirement, and in later years, enjoyed golfing, watching car racing on television and just enjoying retired life.
Laura was preceded in death by her parents and dear friends Rena Abernathy and Colleen Fillmore. She is survived by her husband, Ben Madron; son Brett Madron (Bekki); daughter Brooke Griffith; grandchildren Brittaney O’leary (Michael), Braden Griffith, Cortni Griffith; great-grandson Liam Patrick O’Leary; sister Carol (Gene) Williams; brother Gary (Denise) Freeman.
Laura Lou Madron will be remembered for her friendships, love of life, and the joy she brought to all who knew her. Her legacy of kindness and laughter will continue to inspire those she leaves behind. Laura requested that we not have a service but simply remember the good times and the smile she had for each of us.
The family would like to send a special thank you to Avery and the team at Wilks Funeral Home for all her help through a tough time.

Roy Leslie Mason
Roy Leslie Mason, lifelong Wendell resident, passed away at the age of 91 on September 26, 2024 in Twin Falls, Idaho. Roy was born at St. Valentine’s Hospital, now Magic Valley Manor, in Wendell on August 20, 1933 to Herman and Irma (Parr) Mason. Roy was known as Buss or Bussy to family and close friends.
He graduated from Wendell High School in 1951 and shortly after was drafted into the U.S. Army, serving in Korea. Following discharge, Roy took a job at the Cobalt mine near Salmon, Idaho. It was here that he met and married Carolyn Brough. They lived in Salmon and Northern Idaho before settling back in Wendell where Roy worked as a well driller for Eaton Drilling and later for Elsing Drilling and Pump.
From an early age Roy was drawn to art, often sketching pictures in the margins of his school books. At the age of 12, he entered a drawing in a competition for the local paper and was awarded $1. As an adult, he began painting in oils, but switched to watercolors after taking his first watercolor class from LaVar Steele at the College of Southern Idaho. Buss was always deeply aware of the beauty around him. His watercolor paintings hang in many homes and businesses across the West. Roy was a distinguished merit member of the Idaho Watercolor Society and a member of the Magic Valley Arts Council.
In addition to these organizations, Roy belonged to the VFW, the American Legion, and served as a volunteer fireman for fifteen years with the Wendell Fire Department. Time spent camping, hiking, golfing, traveling, or relaxing with family and friends was special to him and will be forever treasured by his family.
Roy is survived by Carolyn, his wife of 66 years, his three children, Cindy Depew (Joe) of Las Vegas, Julie Osborn (Sam) of Twin Falls, and Bill Mason of Wendell, as well as six grandchildren, five great grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews and family friends. He was preceded in death by his parents and two brothers.
A celebration of Roy’s life will be held at a later date to be determined. Memorial contributions may be made to the Idaho Watercolor Society (IWS Treasurer, P.O. Box 9093, Boise, Idaho 83707) The Magic Valley Arts Council (195 River Vista Place, Suite 100, Twin Falls, Idaho 83301) or a favorite charity. -- -- --

Agnelo José Matos, age 71, passed away unexpectedly from his body giving up due to unknowingly having cancer on October 7, at St. Alphonsus in Boise surrounded by his four children.
Medical: Monday & Friday 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Wednesday 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Dental: Tuesday & Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Pharmacy: Monday thru Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Dr. Levin, MD • Dean Rodemack, PA-C • Bryce Bennion, Pharm.D (Sliding Scale fees available)
Agnelo was born in the village of Santo Antonio on the island of Sao Jorge, Açores on January 19, 1953, to Maria Iva Pereira de Matos and Jose Emilio de Matos. He was welcomed by an older sister and an older brother and a couple years later they all welcomed his youngest brother. His family moved to Angola, Africa when he was four years old.
Agnelo was an energetic and rambunctious child who loved working outside with cows more than he enjoyed school. When his father passed away, Agnelo, at the age of 21, alongside his oldest brother, took over the family farm where he honed his dairy skills by caring for their large herd of cows. Still, he found time to cruise the villages in his fancy truck and he met his future wife, Helen, in Africa. In the 1970's when civil war erupted in Angola, Agnelo served in the Portuguese army. As a result of the war, he and his family left their life in Angola to start-over in the United States. He landed in central California. In 1976 Agnelo married Helen Avelar. Soon after, they welcomed their daughters, Lindsey and Bethany. While in California, Agnelo worked on a dairy farm and in vineyards while raising his daughters near Helen's family. In search of new opportunities, the young family moved to Buhl, Idaho. In the early 1980's they purchased a dairy farm with two other families. It was there they welcomed their only son Philip. In late 1985, Agnelo and his family relocated to Wendell, Idaho where they purchased their very own dairy farm. One year later, they welcomed their last daughter, Stacey.
Agnelo was known to be industrious and tenacious, rarely leaving his cows. However, he did make time to leave his cows to become an American citizen, something he was very proud of. Agnelo was an avid hunter throughout his life and once he no longer went hunting, loved to live through the hunts of his children and grandchildren. After retiring from the dairy business, he became enthusiastic about his garden and raising chickens, particularly for his granddaughter, Preslie.
Agnelo loved inappropriate jokes, spicy food and helping others. He loved donating to and helping with his children's and grandchildren's sports and activities, and family and friends who needed a place to live or work. When you ask the grandkids what they remember most about their Avô, they would tell you it's his loving and giving spirit. He was always giving them something or laughing with them about something. His grandkids truly were his pride and joy.
He also loved his Portuguese heritage and celebrations. He was one of the families who helped bring over traditions to start the IDES in Buhl, ID and began the first Festa do Espirito Santo more than 40 years ago. Agnelo will truly be missed by all who knew him.
Agnelo is preceded in death by his parents and his brother José Guilherme Matos.

A celebration of life will be Saturday, November 30, 2024 at St. Anthony Catholic Church in Wendell, Idaho. Rosary at 10:30 a.m. with a funeral mass to follow at 11:00 a.m. As a family we plan to take Agnelo back to Sao Jorge as a final resting place for him.

IDAHO in the Movies
The Hailey Public Library is launching IDAHO in the Movies, a new monthly series of free screenings on the 3rd Thursday of each month. The series kicks off on Thursday, October 17, at 6:00 PM at Town Center West with a delightful 2004 cult favorite rated PG. Filmed in Preston, Idaho, the town’s most curious resident lives with his grandma and 32-year-old brother (who cruises chat rooms for ladies) and works to help his best friend snatch the Student Body President title from a mean teen.
The film debuted at the Sundance Film Festival and later won numerous awards, including three MTV Movie Awards for Breakthrough Male Performance, for Best Musical Performance, and Best Movie.
“As the golden days of autumn get colder and nights longer, now is the perfect time to catch a movie and snack on popcorn,” commented Kristin Fletcher, the library’s programs manager, “IDAHO in the Movies series will highlight many great films featuring our beautiful state. Next month we’ll celebrate Native American Heritage Month with a multi-award winning, 2018 film written by Sherman Alexie and filmed on the Coeur d’Alene Reservation.” Fletcher continued, “Future films will run the gamut - a kid-friendly animation about two wolf pups lost in the wilderness, an ex-con and a salon singer surviving along the Salmon River, a 1950s musical romance set in Sun Valley, an ex-cowboy outlaw who is now a respected judge, and even one about a bank robber hiding in a remote mountain cabin. This series has a little bit for everyone!”

If a child hasn’t had a help in the process of washing clothes, they find many alarming situations once they are on their own. Too much soap and there is over-flowing suds. Not enough soap and there is still dirt. Mixing bleaches and detergents come out with tie-die dresses and pants. Wrong temperature and clothes are miniaturized. At the laundrymat the machine will eat your last dollar, sit there, and wait for more.
Long ago our ancestors learned to do basic things to the clothes they wore (the job of clothes was to protect skin and keep out the weather). The act of washing clothes probably dates back 4500 years. The earliest washing machine was pond or stream with a collection of rocks and sticks to break away dirt. Human launderers relied on sand to break away stubborn stains.
The first major laundry innovation, the washboard, came along in the mid 1800’s. Women no longer beat clothes against rocks in the river, but now could hunch over a large wash tub and rub their laundry against a heavy wooden scrub board.
Another labor saving device, appearing a little after the washboard, was the wringer (so called in America) or the mangle (so called in Britain). It
consisted of wooden rollers that were connected to cogs, a handle, and a frame. They allowed launderers to wring out excess water and soap.
Early soaps were bars of soap, where they had to be sliced into pieces before use. Proctor and Gamble researcher developed a powdered laundry soap in 1933 call Dreft. It was OK on light stains, In 1946 they developed a heavy duty laundry soap. Tide, which became such a success that retailers had to limit quantities to keep from running out of stock.
Electric washing machines were mass produces in the United States in 1908. They really gained popularity after WWI. The Great Depression made it difficult to purchase a washer for most families.
In 1956, the Koret Company developed permanent press, but it didn’t catch on until 1964 when Levi Strauss used the material for Sta-Prest men’s pants. Wash and wear was then in.
Once again, moms, we can’t thank you enough for all the labor you have put in through the years so we could have clean clothes. It’s been no picnic with strawberries.
This is my “Cup of Tee” with a 1/2 cup of laundry soap.

Lawmakers Move to Protect Property Owners From Squatters
by Amber Gunn, Mountain States Policy Center
Legislation proposed in Wyoming would help owners remove illegal occupants (also known as squatters) from their property. The issue gained the attention of Wyoming lawmakers after constituents found it difficult to remove squatters when returning home from wintering in Arizona.
Wyoming’s bill mirrors a Florida law passed in the spring which increases penalties for squatters and gives property owners recourse against them. Under the proposed law, squatters will no longer be identified as tenants but as ‘unauthorized persons’ (trespassers), making it much easier for residents of the Cowboy State to regain control of their own property. The current language only applies to residential property, but commercial properties have been targets of squatters as well.
Wyoming is not alone. Following several high-profile squatter cases that made headlines nationwide, states like Florida, Texas, and even New York are tackling the issue.
Squatters run all kinds of scams to take advantage of laws that are designed to protect tenants from landlord abuse and improper eviction. They often pursue the path of least resistance by seeking out empty vacation homes or properties for sale—any place they can set up shop before being noticed by the property owner. They may drill out and change the locks, fabricate a lease, or just secretly occupy the property long enough to become a tenant under that state’s laws.
In most states, the law does not differentiate between a squatter and a tenant who has overstayed their lease, refused to pay rent, or potentially violated the lease terms in some other way, which is a true landlord-tenant dispute and an issue for civil court.
Squatters are cleverly navigating a legal system that incentivizes them to abuse property owners. They may eventually be evicted, but only after months of battling it out in court and living rentfree on someone else’s property. Civil financial penalties are typically ineffective to an indigent population and put the burden back on property owners to collect and enforce. Squatters are also not subject to arrest or jail time.
Though squatters aren’t blameless, it is bad policy that transforms a property crime into a civil dispute and a nightmare for law-abiding citizens. Squatters are simply responding rationally to maximize their own self-interest based on the legal incentives presented to them. Some state or local laws may turn a guest or trespasser into a legal tenant after 30 days of occupying the property, even without a lease.
In Washington state, for example, a squatter has the right to remain on a property if the owner fails to take legal action to force an eviction, even if the owner was unaware that their property was occupied. After seven years of continuous occupation, the property may legally become that of the squatter through the state’s adverse possession law.
In some cases, law enforcement may even threaten to arrest the property owner for violating the privacy rights of the squatters. In most states, squatters have tenant rights after 30 days (or less if they produce a fake lease), which means law enforcement considers the matter a landlordtenant dispute. Confrontation with a squatter may even result in the arrest of the property owner. In most states, the legal burden is on property owners, who must wade through a lengthy and expensive eviction process just to regain what is legally theirs. It may take months of battling it out in court before a squatter is removed.
Under Wyoming’s proposed bill, a property owner or its authorized agent can request that law enforcement immediately evict someone who unlawfully entered the home, refused to leave when directed to do so by the owner, and is not the subject of pending litigation related to the home. The property owner is responsible for paying a fee to the sheriff for service of process and for a “reasonable hourly rate” for any request that the sheriff “stand by to keep the peace” while the owner changes locks and removes the property of the squatter. Owners who abuse this process and wrongfully remove someone legally entitled to be there are liable for damages. A squatter who produces a fake lease or false documents is guilty of a misdemeanor.

Dated this 11th day of October, 2024. Craig D. Hobdey
The working draft would make listing a property for sale or rent without lawful authorization or ownership a felony, with the steepest penalties and fines reserved for property destruction and defacement by a squatter, punishable by up to ten years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
While the bill is a very positive move to protect property owners, from a policy standpoint, there is room for improvement. Placing the financial burden on the individual who has been the victim of trespassing and potentially significant property damage and financial loss is a missed opportunity. Keeping the peace is a core function of government. The sheriff does not bill citizens for fielding domestic violence disputes or responding to assault, criminal trespass, or other emergency calls.
Although squatting is legally distinct from trespassing or breaking and entering, lawmakers would do well to recognize it like any other crime and not punish the victim twice by making them pay for protection already purchased with their tax dollars.
