BOISE – Rep. Judy Boyle (R-Midvale) is lauding the passage of a piece of legislation she sponsored designed to curtail advertising of illegal narcotics within the Gem State.
 House Bill 271 was passed by the Senate Wednesday, March 26, on a 24-10 vote and will go to the governor to sign into law. The bill previously passed the House by a 45-25 margin. 
 Those who violate the new law could be cited for a misdemeanor and face a $500 fine. 

School district anticipating fewer students next year

Unless the Weiser School District Board sees any way around it, they will be basing the next fiscal budget on a lower total student population, which equates to a decrease in state funding.
 Prior to the district’s first “true-up” state payment in November, Deputy Clerk Barbara Choate alerted the trustees to the fact that this year’s final enrollment numbers had come in below what had been anticipated, warning them the district’s funding units would likely follow.

 Rustic Ranch was awarded a special use permit to set up its tree and plant business on a small parcel between Highway 95 and Quail Lane just north of Weiser.

New gym floor coming, bleachers discussed

Published by admin on Wed, 04/02/2025 - 7:00pm
Weiser High School’s nearly 60-year-old gymnasium floor is due to be replaced this summer, with its funding coming from this year’s receipt of state school modernization funds.
 What can’t be paid from that bucket of funds is the replacement of the almost 35- year-old bleachers that WHS Principal Drew Dickerson thinks may not hold up for a move out and back into the gym.
 During the March 10, monthly Weiser School District school trustees meeting, Dickerson described the aging bleachers.

Landslide repairs estimated to take a month to complete on Hwy. 95 north of Council

Published by admin on Tue, 04/01/2025 - 11:08am

Residents from Weiser to north of Council should expect to see a lot less thru-traffic on Highway 95 after the Idaho Transportation Department fully closed a section of US-95 between Glendale and Pine Ridge on Monday, March 31. Repairs began that day to the highway as a result of a major landslide that collapsed the highway in an area between Council and New Meadows almost two weeks earlier.

In a press release dated March 28, ITD said the contractor would be working two shifts per day to expedite the repairs and minimize the heavily used north-south artery’s closure time.

It’s hard to believe that April is already here. I walked out of the front door this morning and saw the first tulip open in the yard. I’m not complaining. I am so glad that winter is behind us. It is just that time is moving so quickly. Who knows – maybe May may be just around the corner.
