CALDWELL — Voters will be given the choice of whether to recall two Caldwell School District Board of Trustees members in November. On Friday afternoon, the Caldwell School District held a special meeting to order the election. The last-minute meeting was called after the district was contacted by the Canyon County Clerk’s Office stating an Idaho statute required the Caldwell School District to order the Nov. 3 vote.

WASHINGTON — A Seattle man was arrested in January during a demonstration to protest police violence.

BOISE — Turning off 200 machines Friday morning had already caused John Sheldon to lose 80 employees by the afternoon. The president of Idaho’s largest historical horse racing operation was still reeling from a state Supreme Court decision the day before that found Idaho must enforce legislation banning instant horse racing machines. Two years ago, Les Bois Park invested $4 million to buy the machines and renovate the facility to help bring in more business to a faltering industry. After years of declining revenue, the slot-like machines were seen as a much-needed shot in the arm. Next year was the first time Sheldon expected the park to break even.
