Wendell Completes Flag Plaza

Just south of the old Ace Theater in Wendell was a vacant lot, but no longer.

Flag Plaza, which has been a collaborative effort between the City of Wendell and the Wendell School District, is complete... mostly. The trees need to grow larger to help this space beautify Idaho Street and provide a space for Wendellites to gather or sit for a moment (and yes, benches are coming). "We are also hopeful that it will help knit the community together and build pride in our city and the flag that it surrounds."

Learn How to Save a Life!

SCPHD Press Release

Now, more than ever, is the time to prevent opioid drug overdoses. We can all help! South Central Public Health District (SCPHD) is offering training to anyone in the public that would like to learn more about the opioid epidemic and how to use naloxone.

Overdose remains the leading cause of accidental death in the United States. According to the CDC, every year more than 100,000 people are lost to this epidemic. As this epidemic continues, Idaho set another overdose record for 2022, at 381 deaths. Opioids can include prescription painkillers, heroin, and fentanyl. One of the best ways we can bring this number down is by understanding what an overdose looks like and how to administer naloxone. Naloxone has the ability to effectively reverse an opioid overdose, and it is offered in an easy-to-use nasal spray. Nearly all overdoses are accidental and understanding what they look like can save someone’s life.

“There are many situations an overdose can happen in” said Eli Thompson, Health Education Specialist. “Someone could forget they took a prescription and take it again, or take a different substance, like alcohol that intensifies its effects.”

“Naloxone is a life-saving medicine that can reverse an accidental overdose” adds Taylor Bybee, Health Education Specialist. “By having naloxone, the likelihood of the person surviving an overdose increases.”

SCPHD also offers training for groups and organizations, if you are not able to make this training and would like to schedule one.

Thompson and Bybee are offering free naloxone training classes for the public in honor of Overdose Awareness Day, which is August 31st. The first ten participants that are 18 or older to register for the training will receive a free overdose response kit including two doses of naloxone.

Training sessions will be held at the SCPHD Jerome Office (951 E Ave H) and Gooding Office (255 N Canyon Dr.) on August 31st from 6 to 7 p.m.

Register online at https://phd5.idaho.gov/health-education or call (208) 737-5906 to register.

Cup of Tee

©The good ol' storage unit... when you need one, they sure are great to have available. The garage sometimes gets more credit as a storage unit than a garage. Many times the storage unit is overlooked and we spend a lot more than we planned just to store our stuff. Economic convenience, solution solving, subdivision covenants, estate situations, and personal space many times creates the storage unit partnership.

Sometimes, one is overdone. The following are some thoughts why your storage unit and you are not on the same page...

When you open a small box from UPS and you find a cut open lock from your storage facility.

You arrive at your storage unit and find a truck sized dumpster in front of your unit.

You see a television crew going through your town and find they are filming "Storage Wars" and your unit is hosting the show.

Someone asks you if you can tell them where a storage unit is and it happens to be yours.

Things may not be good if you are reading the garage sale section in the paper and you find the stuff for sale is exactly what you have.

You find the legal column of the newspaper has your name spelled wrong, but your storage unit is

described correctly.

You pay more rent to the storage facility than do for your house.

McDonalds has pictures of your furniture on game pieces for their next game.

There still may be a problem when a telemarketer calls to tell you that your extended warranty has run out, and when you tell them about your storage situation, they hang up on you.

The stuff you put in storage was brand new at the time but are now antiques.

Your method of storage payment went from cash to check to credit card to automatic bank withdrawal.

To find out the sheriff has your number and address saved to their speed dial to serve you papers is not a good thing.

The storage company has gone through three owners, three colors of paint, and you still have the same lock. Moving companies refuse your request for service.

It is not good when you finally go to check on your stored goods and a subdivision is where your storage unit was.

This is my "Cup of Tee" without a key.

...more Fish & Game in September

Salmon Falls Creek Reservoir – 13,550 rainbow trout. This reservoir in Idaho's high desert provides tons of fishing options with boat ramps and long shorelines. Facilities available depend on access location. Road conditions may deteriorate when saturated. You can help maintain the natural beauty of this unique area by driving on existing roads when they are dry.

Thorn Creek Reservoir – 2,000 rainbow trout. This high desert reservoir is quiet and remote. There is ample bank fishing and rocky outcrops along the perimeter offer scenic fishing access points; sturdy footwear is recommended. Please note, a high-clearance vehicle is recommended, access may require 4WD at times and roads may become impassable when wet.

All you need to get started is a fishing license and some basic tackle. Annual adult fishing licenses cost around $30, junior licenses (ages 14-17) cost $16, and youth (under 14) fish for free. Go to Fish and Game's online vendor to buy a license.

USDA Makes More Grants Available for Meat and Poultry Processors

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development Acting Under Secretary Roger Glendenning has announced that USDA is making more funding available for meat and poultry processors to expand operations, transform the food supply chain and create new and better markets for producers.

“The USDA is committed to transforming our food system to one that creates new markets for our small and mid-sized farming and ranching operations while protecting opportunity in our rural communities for generations to come,” Glendenning said. “The funding we’re making available today to meat and poultry processors will not only give producers more options, but also create good paying jobs and build greater resilience in our overall food system.”

USDA is partnering with the New Hampshire Community Loan Fund to make available $123 million in grants through the Meat and Poultry Processing Expansion Program. The grants will help independent businesses build and modernize processing facilities and equipment, adopt new technologies and train workers, among other activities.

Eligible projects may receive grants from $250,000 up to $10 million. Successful applicants must be able to cover 70% of their total project cost.

Applications must be submitted through Grants.gov by 11:59 p.m. ET on Nov. 22, 2023. Details on eligibility and requirements are available on Grants.gov.

Background: Meat and Poultry Processing Expansion Program

The Meat and Poultry Processing Expansion Program provides grants to help eligible independent processors to expand their capacity. USDA Rural Development designed the program to encourage competition and sustainable growth in the U.S. meat processing sector and to help improve supply chain resiliency.

USDA already has awarded more than $200 million to independent businesses under the program. These projects have created thousands of jobs across the country. Learn more about USDA’s investments to strengthen the meat and poultry supply chain at usda.gov/meat.

USDA Rural Development provides loans, loan guarantees and grants to help expand economic opportunities, create jobs and improve the quality of life for millions of Americans in rural areas. This assistance supports infrastructure improvements; business development; housing; community facilities such as schools, public safety and health care; and high-speed internet access in rural, tribal and high-poverty areas. For more information, visit www.rd.usda.gov.

USDA touches the lives of all Americans each day in so many positive ways. USDA is transforming America’s food system with a greater focus on more resilient local and regional food production, fairer markets for all producers, ensuring access to safe, healthy and nutritious food in all communities, building new markets and streams of income for farmers and producers using climate-smart food and forestry practices, making historic investments in infrastructure and clean energy capabilities in rural America, and committing to equity across the Department by removing systemic barriers and building a workforce more representative of America.
