Good morning, Nampa.

Idaho nonprofit Astegos is raffling a 2,350 square foot home in Avimor to fund a new 100,000 square foot warehouse that will support local schools and nonprofits including Toys for Tots—ticket sales at $100 each will benefit community charities in Nampa, Caldwell, Vallivue, Cascade, and Horseshoe Bend.

The Idaho Transportation Department warns residents about a scam text message that falsely demands immediate payment for a traffic ticket and threatens penalties — they advise not to click unfamiliar links, provide personal details, or delay reporting the message to the FTC.

The Idaho Transportation Department warned Idaho residents on July 18 that texts asking for payment for traffic tickets are a scam—recipients are urged not to click on suspicious links as the department never sends such updates via text.

Nearly 100 employers gathered at Gowen Field to learn about what service members do on base through equipment demos, training simulations and UH-60 Black Hawk rides—an experience that helped them understand their employees’ dual roles.

Mosquitoes collected east of Caldwell tested positive for West Nile virus, marking the third Treasure Valley County to report a positive pool, according to Jim Lunders of the Canyon County Mosquito Abatement District.

The district treated the area and will increase control measures—residents are advised to remove standing water and use insect repellent.
