Good morning, Nampa.

Next month, a fallen Nampa police K-9 named Riddick—who served with dedication—will be honored during a national memorial run/walk that unites the community in remembering its service.

After two firefighters were killed in an ambush in Coeur d'Alene, firefighters from across Idaho— including Nampa’s own Rachel Rabatin— volunteered to cover shifts so that local teams could grieve and continue serving while emergency services ran smoothly.

The Idaho Cattle Foundation has announced a grant program to fund livestock education for schools, 4-H groups, and businesses aiming to explain the cattle industry's role in Idaho's economy.

Applications are due by Nov. 1 and will be reviewed by the Idaho State Board of Education using funds from unclaimed livestock account proceeds—supporting local efforts to boost agricultural awareness.

With the new school year approaching, many local students still lack basic supplies, meals and mental health support.

The KTVB/United Way school supply fundraiser—running from July 21 until August 11—will collect donations to help provide these essentials.

Firewood permits for Sawtooth, Boise, and Payette National Forests can now be bought online through a new e-permit system offered by the U.S. Forest Service — residents no longer need to visit an office since paper permits remain available.
