For Something, AnywayBy Les TannerI’m a regular pickleball player at the YMCA in Caldwell, where another regular player is a guy I know fairly well. This story is about him and I suppose he could write it himself but he’d probably get facts wrong, or make something up, so I’m writing it for him. It involves a series of incidents in which this guy figured. Everyone who has played PB at the Y when he’s there would recognize him, which I guess is the point of the story.

Bruneau Canyon MishapsBy Diana HooleyThe view at the Bruneau Canyon overlook is jaw-dropping. That’s what I thought when I first saw the canyon several years ago. My family lives just an hour from the canyon, and I wondered why we hadn’t visited this scenic area earlier. Hells Canyon is deep, although you often don’t feel how deep it is, because there aren’t many steep vertical drops. The Snake River Canyon at Twin Falls is steep, but it has a golf course at the bottom.

A distress call had come in from the crew at Snowdon Wildlife Sanctuary east of Little Payette Lake along Lick Creek Road.

“Don’t Try to Change Us”Story by Bob JohnsonPhotos by Michelle JohnsonAt first sight last March, the timeshare golf resort at tiny Blanchard in northern Idaho reminded me of Lake Tahoe on the borders of California and Nevada. “Only here, there’s not a casino in sight,” I mentioned to my wife, Michelle, as we navigated the two-lane road. The Tahoe reference was to the thick stands of towering trees bordering the narrow road that led to the resort.

The Not in Wilderness CoalitionBy Steve ZettelPhotos Courtesy Idaho Wilderness CompanyAbout a decade ago, a good friend of mine joined our outfitting company on a Middle Fork of the Salmon River float trip with his wife and two young children. It’s always rewarding to assist and witness wilderness visitors who return to give the experience to their next generation. In this case, my friend was a former employee who is now a professional outfitter in Alaska.

The Trouble with Tech TalkBy Jay W. LarsenSome years back I mentioned the term “cloud technology” to an Idaho farmer who owned more than ten thousand acres. Only around the turn of the 21st Century did the cloud take hold as a delivery system of computing services over the internet that would help him to monitor the irrigation of his crops. The farmer looked at me for some time. Then he glanced up at the sky and said, “I know ag. I know irrigation.
