Idaho Century Farm Awarded in Camas
from Idaho State Historical Society
On October 26th, 2024, the Frostenson Family, rooted in the Camas Prairie for over a century, proudly received Century Farm recognition and status during a special family event held at the farm. This honor celebrates the family's enduring commitment to agriculture and land stewardship, continuing a legacy that began with Martin Frithiof "Fritz" Frostenson, who emigrated from Sweden in 1898 at the age of 21, and established the original homestead in 1905.
Located near Fairfield, Idaho, the Frostenson Family Farm encompasses approximately 157.22 acres of the original homestead. Fritz Frostenson proved up on 320 acres, with the family continuously farming the land since his time. Fritz managed the homestead until his passing in 1968, after which his son, A.R. (Bob) Frostenson, and later his grandson, John (Jack) Frostenson, took up the farming mantle.
"I feel honored to receive this recognition, highlighting our family's dedication to farming and the land that has supported us for generations. It is important to us to care for and improve the soil that sustains us." said Jack Frostenson, 81, a lifelong resident of the Camas Prairie. "The legacy of my grandfather and the commitment of our family to this land are something we hold dear."
The Frostenson family has expanded their agricultural footprint over the years, with Fritz’s children acquiring adjacent farmland and establishing their homes within a mile of the original homestead. Today, Jack farms alongside his youngest son, Jamon, emphasizing organic practices on their Camas Prairie land, ensuring the family's agricultural heritage continues to thrive. The current owners of the original homestead acreage, Jill FrostensonKester and Brett Frostenson—great-grandchildren of Martin Frithiof Frostenson—remain dedicated to upholding the values instilled by their ancestors.
The Century Farm Award recognizes families that have continuously owned and actively farmed the same land for 100 years or more. The Idaho Century Farm and Ranch program was established as part of the state's Centennial Celebration in 1990. Since its inception, over 450 farms and ranches across Idaho have been designated as Century Farms or Ranches. This designation serves as a testament to the enduring agricultural heritage and the dedication of families in preserving their land and way of life for future generations.

Bill Passes to Delay Lava Ridge
On Tuesday, four bills authored by U.S. Senator Jim Risch (R-Idaho) to support Idaho communities passed the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources by voice vote. Idaho is at the center of all four bills, which would delay the Lava Ridge Wind Energy Project, enhance cyber security, expand access to existing aging infrastructure funds, and correct existing law to enable aquifer recharge.
"I appreciate Chairman Joe Manchin, Ranking Member Barrasso, and my colleagues for passing these important bills benefiting the State of Idaho," said Risch. "Lava Ridge has near-unanimous opposition in Idaho and among the broader Japanese American Community. My bill will stop Lava Ridge from moving forward until a full assessment of its impacts on the Minidoka National Historic Site and other natural and cultural resources can be conducted. While I will continue to fight for a full, point-blank cancellation of Lava Ridge, this is an important step forward."
S. 4936 was introduced by Senator Risch. This bill would prevent the Secretary of the Interior from authorizing the Lava Ridge Wind Energy Project until a GAO study is conducted to analyze the project's impact on the Minidoka National Historic Site, a concentration camp where Alaska Natives and Japanese Americans were unjustly incarcerated during World War II. S. 4936 has been endorsed by a number of groups and individuals representing survivors, descendants, and allies of Minidoka.
"The Gem State has tremendous natural resources," Risch continued. "These additional pieces of legislation will continue our leadership in cybersecurity... November 27,

Idaho Youth in Philanthropy Grant Opportunity for Rural High Schools
The Idaho Community Foundation (ICF) is thrilled to announce the Idaho Youth in Philanthropy Project (YIPP), an empowering new initiative designed to foster a passion for community service and philanthropy among rural high school students across Idaho.
This hands-on leadership program prepares students in smaller communities to become future leaders in philanthropy by engaging them in the grantmaking process and supporting nonprofits that address critical local needs.
High schools in rural Idaho are invited to apply, with priority given to communities with populations under 30,000 to ensure support reaches areas with limited access to nonprofit resources.
Six high school groups will be selected to participate, with each group given the opportunity to distribute $5,000 to local nonprofits. Through YIPP, students will learn about nonprofit operations, the role of philanthropy in their community, and how to evaluate grant applications—all while experiencing the power of giving back firsthand.
“This project aims to equip Idaho’s rural youth with skills in leadership, critical thinking, and collaboration,” said ICF Vice President for Impact and Nonprofit Center, Kevin Bailey. “By engaging in real-world philanthropy, these students will gain valuable experience in decision-making and foster a lifelong commitment to their communities.”
Interested schools can apply by December 6, 2024, through the application linked at IdahoCF. org. Selected schools will be announced in early 2025, with student groups engaging in the grantmaking process during the spring semester.
For more information on the Idaho Youth in Philanthropy Project or to apply, please visit IdahoCF.org or contact us at info@idahononprofits.org.
OVERVIEW:
• The Idaho Community Foundation has launched the Idaho Youth in Philanthropy Project (YIPP), a program empowering rural high school students to become future leaders in philanthropy.

Cup of Tee by Tee Hurd
I walked into a locally owned restaurant in Emmett, Idaho. The first half of the eatery was nearly full, so I walked into the second section. I was seated and the waitress asked, "Tee, what are you interested in today?" I replied, "What kind of soup do you have today?" Without missing a beat the answer was "Dill Pickle Soup."
I looked around, since I was basically in the center of the room. Was I going to be the whipping boy for a joke? I was close to that once in Big Timber, Montana, when the soup of the day was "Lettuce Soup."
I asked with great concern, "Did you say, Dill Pickle Soup?" She replied, "Yes." I was kind of at a loss for words. I recognized two guys sitting right there in the next room having it. I knew they wouldn't be part of a trick. "Tee, would you like to try a sample?" I said, "I'll guarantee you I'm not going to buy a bowl of soup to eat if I don't like it. I'll try a sample."
The soup tasted different from any soup I had eaten, including the lettuce soup. I decided to go ahead and have a bowl. As I was eating the soup, a lady in the corner witnessed my soup ordeal. She decided to try it herself and asked me what I thought. I told her "It wasn't bad..." She had eaten her soup and another guy witnessed both of us eating the soup. He asked her, Well, how was the soup?" She responded by saying, "I guess the best way I can explain the soup taste is like the guy there (referring to me), it's not bad. If I had to rate it on a scale of
my 100 favorite soups, it wouldn't be 100, but I would give it a 70." The guy took a bowl but the others in a party of five weren't so brave. The sound of it couldn't quite get any more takers.
I had wrapped up my soup eating and started to leave to pay. Another person was just walking in and asked, "What is the soup of the day?" The guy who was eating his started to talk. Was it going to be another Taste and Ripple Effect?
At the cash register the waitress said, "Tee, I hope you enjoyed you soup today?" I asked, "Do you guys serve this soup regularly?" I figured this might be a one time soup. She said, "We have it whenever the cook takes a notion." I told her I would try it again just to take to some friends, because they wouldn't believe me about having "Dill Pickle Soup."
About ten days later I got a text. "Tee, we are having Dill Pickle Soup today. Do you want me to save you some?" I responded, "Yes" and went in after work to pick it up. I took some to friends in New Plymouth, Idaho. They tasted soup with slowness. I told them I'd take "Dill Pickle Soup" any day of the week over clam chowder, and that said something about the pickle soup. They said, that didn't say much about me
Happy Thanksgiving, and don't forget the pickles... soup!
This is my “Cup of Tee” real dill.

...repair critical water infrastructure, and enable aquifer recharge."
S. 914 was introduced by Senator Risch and Senator Manchin (I-W.Va.). The Energy Threat Analysis Center Establishment Act would improve information sharing regarding cyber security prevention across America's energy sector in both industry and government.
S. 2160 was introduced by Senator Risch. The Urban Canal Modernization Act would allow the Bureau of Reclamation aging infrastructure funding to help address repairs for urban canals with extraordinary maintenance issues. Many western canals, like the New York Canal in Idaho's Treasure Valley, have gone from being rural to surrounded by urban infrastructure over time.
S. 4999 was introduced by Senator Risch. This bill would correct the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) interpretation of existing law to enable aquifer recharge.
S. 254 was cosponsored by Senator Risch. This bill would empower local economic development by ensuring the majority of annual fees from ski area permitting are retained locally and used to support recreation in nearby national forests.
