Improved Internet For Camas County
On Thursday, May 25th, at 7 p.m. the Camas County Board of Commissioners will host a public meeting in the Upstairs Courtroom (501 Soldier Road) to discuss efforts to secure State funding for significant broadband expansion and improvements throughout the County.
The State of Idaho will be releasing approximately $124 million in grant funds throughout the state for this purpose, specifically focusing attention on unserved or underserved areas of the state like Camas County.
Community support, awareness, and involvement are key elements to successful grant applications of this kind. This will be the main topic of discussion for this meeting.
Through a public process of an RFI (request for information), the County has entered into an agreement with Eminent Technical Solutions (ETS) and Imagine Idaho to prepare both the technology and information required for these grant applications.
This meeting will be highly informative and give clear options for community support from individuals, businesses, and public safety stakeholders. Please come and share your thoughts and add your voice to the narrative.

Attention: Lily Watch
Have the Camas lilies started blooming? Not yet, but within the next week or two there should be an excellent display. The Centenial Marsh has a lot of water this year, and some of the roads into the marsh are still covered in water - so use caution.
Forest Closures Rescinded
Emergency closure orders issued earlier this month for all districts and the Sawtooth National Recreation Area will expire or be rescinded effective 11:59 p.m. May 25. The expirations and rescissions coincide with Memorial Day weekend kickoff and the beginning of forest product permits sales.
“While areas will be open to use, many areas of the forest remain inaccessible due to the excessive snowpack at higher elevations,” said Forest Supervisor Jake Strohmeyer. “We ask visitors to exercise caution and to avoid traveling on snowy, flooded, or excessively muddy roads.”
Visitors to the Sawtooth National Forest are reminded to regularly check the Alerts & Notices webpage, located at fs.usda.gov/alerts/sawtooth, for important information that may impact their Memorial Day weekend or fuelwood gathering plans. Forest Service travel regulations are detailed on Motor Vehicle Use Maps, available online or at all Sawtooth National Forest Offices. Personal fuelwood and post and pole permits will also be available at all district and area offices and the Supervisor’s Office. Some local vendors will sell the permits, as well:
Fuelwood permits will cost $6.25 per cord, with a 4-cord minimum and a 10-cord maximum per household. Post and pole permits for fencing, agricultural use, and teepees will be available to the public at 50 cents for each pole and $1.50 for each post. Cutting of fuelwood is not permitted in areas adjacent to creeks and rivers or within closure areas.
“Permits will be valid on the Boise, Payette and Sawtooth National Forest through Nov. 30,” said Firewood Program Manager Nelson Mills. “Each permit comes with a brochure that outlines permissions and restrictions for the different types of forest products.”
For more information about forest accessibility or forest products permits, contact your local district or area office. Contact information for all districts is available the Sawtooth National Forest website at https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/sawtooth/about-forest/offices.
