Hansen, David Alton
BURLEY, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) —David Alton Hansen, a 71-year-old resident of Burley, Idaho, passed away Friday, January 12, 2024, at St. Luke’s Magic Valley Medical Center in Twin Falls, Idaho.
He was born October 25, 1952, in Rupert, Idaho, the seventh of eight children born to Rodney Alton and Zira Jean (Belnap) Hansen. He grew up working with his family on their potato farm in Paul, Idaho. He enjoyed playing basketball and church softball. He served in the Germany North Mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Upon completion of his mission, he married Alice Anne Carey, December 18, 1976, in the Idaho Falls Idaho Temple. He then earned a bachelor’s degree from Utah State University, and an MBA from University of Utah. After graduating he went home to farm with his father, Rodney Hansen, brother, Bruce Hansen, and brother-in-law, Duane Hunt in the Paul area for Rodney Hansen Farms. David and Alice made Burley their permanent home to raise their six children and were happily married for 48 years.
He loved being out on the farm, but his real enjoyment was being involved in the business management aspects. He later began to split his time between the farm and the financial department for Mart Produce.
He was a kind, constant father and devoted husband. In addition to his family, he committed his heart and life to serving Jesus Christ. He served the Church in many positions at the stake and ward level. He was exemplary in his consistent scripture study each morning before he headed out to work at 6 a.m. He was known and loved for his sincere, loving, patient, and good-natured manner by all who knew him.
He is survived by his wife, Alice; six children and their spouses, Kaisa (Chad) Crossley, Esther (Elliot) Seibold, Rodney (Jenni Brdecka) Hansen, Ingrid (Rob) Smallman, Helen (Avery) Neilson, and Greta Hansen; three sisters, Karen (Kenneth) Hutto, Laureen (Jay) Anderson and Margaret (Duane) Hunt; two brothers, Bruce (Elaine) Hansen and Thayne (Laurie) Hansen; a sister-in-law, Pam Hansen; 11 grandsons; and four granddaughters.
He was preceded in death by his parents; and two brothers, Howard Hansen and Lowell Hansen.
He left behind a legacy of faith, kindness, and sincerity that will be remembered. His example will continue to bless his family and friends.
The funeral will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, January 20, at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints – Burley 3rd Ward, located at 2200 Oakley Avenue, in Burley.
Burial will follow at Pleasant View Cemetery in Burley. Family and friends will be received from 5 until 7 p.m. Friday, January 19, at Rasmussen-Wilson Funeral Home, 1350 E. 16th St., in Burley, and from noon until 12:45 p.m. Saturday, preceding the funeral, at the church.

BOISE, Idaho (Idaho Capital Sun) — Day use access fees at all Idaho state parks will be waived for Idaho residents on July 4 as part of a celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, Gov. Brad Little announced Friday, as reported by the Idaho Capital Sun.
“As we prepare to mark 250 years of American independence, there is no better way to celebrate than by getting outside with our loved ones and enjoying the freedoms and natural treasures that define our great nation,” Little said Friday. “Idaho’s state parks showcase the very best of our state, and we are proud to welcome families, friends and visitors to explore them free of charge during this special occasion.”
While day use fees for Idaho residents will be waived, normal camping and reservation fees will apply, officials said.
Idaho has 28 state parks, which offer a variety of recreational and outdoor activities including hiking, horseback riding, skiing, bird watching, rock climbing, fishing, boating, swimming, bicycling and more.
State officials with the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation are in the process of unveiling improvements and enhancements at several state parks, including Lucky Peak State Park outside of Boise, which recently opened a new dog beach and accessible kayak launch on the Boise River.
Other state parks include Bruneau Dunes State Park and Observatory, Harriman State Park, Bear Lake State Park and City of Rocks National Reserve, which is a national reserve and state park that attracts climbers from all over the world to its dramatic granite rock spires.
Little said the July 4 fee waiver is a part of a larger effort to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence being signed in 1776.

We’re lucky to live in a place as safe as the Treasure Valley. Despite our growth, one of the things that makes our area so special is the way that we look out for one another–for our neighbors! That’s a principle that seems to have held on as Boise has boomed.
Despite low crime rates, there seems to always be one incident or so that makes us scratch our heads.
A recent string of fraud incidents in the Treasure Valley area is one of those.
Nampa Police initially warned the public of this because cases of fraud began to ‘mushroom’. Then, it took an interesting turn–people that HAD their credit cards were being ‘taken to the bank’, so to speak.
In a statement originally released on April 30th by the Nampa Police Department, officials advised the following:
We are not sure how the suspects are gaining access to the victim’s credit cards. There is a growing fraud scheme, “ghost tapping”, that scammers are using to access victims’ credit cards. This is possibly occurring in these instances. “Ghost tapping” uses stolen credit card details in Apple Pay or Google Pay, then remotely relays the tap signal over the internet to a ‘mule’ at a store, allowing them to make high-value purchases that appear completely legitimate. (We’ll share more information on ghost tapping in a later public service announcement that will also suggest ways to protect yourself.) The app used by these criminals obscures the actual credit card number, making it harder for investigators to link a victim to a particular crime. Keep in mind that victims still have their physical credit cards while suspects use the stolen card information to make purchases, which also affects how victims are alerted. So far, local investigators have not been able to identify a common theme among the victims (e.g., a specific bank, a website they visited, a gas pump they used, etc.) in the fraud cases we are investigating.
The investigation spans far and wide.
Authorities say that some suspects are in custody, others are being contacted, and others are still at large.
Now, a week later, the police are back to reaching out to the public–this time, urging people to check their bank accounts.
Nampa Police say that they have caught onto a pattern– there are fraudulent charges at Albertson’s to purchase gift cards, at Costco to purchase Apple products, and at Best Buy, also for Apple products.
