89-Year-Old Idaho Woman Died After Falling 100 Feet into the Snake River
On Wednesday evening an 89-year-old Idaho woman, Joyce Balls, tripped and fell 100 feet into the Snake River near big Kahuna and Lunch Counter.
A drone operator with Star Valley Search and Rescue found the victim’s body downriver.
Search and Rescue reportedly told Buckrail that Balls and her family had been out for a picnic when she got up to leave, lost her footing, and fell off of the cliff.
Someone in the party ran to the road to flag down help. Search and Rescue was on scene within 20 minutes.
“This was truly a tragic accident,” Star Valley Search and Rescue wrote on Facebook, adding that it is also a reminder of “just how unforgiving the river can be.”
This news comes after the body of a missing 93 year old man was found and recovered by Star Valley Search and Rescue last week.
A Star Valley news outlet reports that the victim, Ned Eddins, was las seen on Saturday, June 7 when he road his e-bike up the canyone to take pictures.
He was reported missing on June 10. High, fast water in Swift Creek made the search difficult for rescuers who searched for three days before recovering Eddins’ body.

Idaho politicians respond to Trump authorizing U.S military force in Iran
On Saturday, the United States and Israel launched major strikes in Tehran, with President Trump calling for an Iranian regime change.

President Trump authorized the U.S military operation without congressional approval, a decision that Democrats in Congress are arguing is unconstitutional.

Idaho Democratic Party Chair Lauren Necochea says Democrats are “demanding answers and accountability on behalf of the American people, who are being dragged toward another open-ended war they do not support.”
Necochea says her greatest concern lies with American troops, contractors and civilians who she says “did not choose this conflict.”
“Idaho has thousands of active-duty servicemembers, National Guard members, and military families who live with the consequences when leaders make reckless choices,” she says.
However, not all lawmakers share Necochea’s sentiments.
Idaho Republican representative Mike Simpson commends President Trump’s “decisive action” in Iran.
Idaho News 6
“Iran was given every opportunity to resolve this peacefully through negotiations but chose not to,” Simpson said in a post to Facebook. “I commend President Trump for taking decisive action against a regime responsible for decades of terror. May God protect our men and women in uniform on this vital mission.”

Town Hall to address future of Medicaid expansion in Idaho – Local News 8
POCATELLO, Idaho (KIFI) – Nearly two-thirds of Idaho voters approved Medicaid expansion, but local leaders say that coverage is now at risk.
According to the organizers of a town hall set for Saturday, February 28, proposed changes could severely impact Idaho’s rural hospitals and leave thousands of residents without access to healthcare.
The town hall, titled “Protecting What Works: Medicaid Expansion in Idaho,” will take place at Chubbuck City Hall from 10:30 a.m. to noon.
A panel of representatives from across the healthcare sector — including home health, hospitals, and public and community health — will answer questions about how Medicaid expansion works in Idaho and how potential cuts could affect communities. Organizers say there will also be time for audience questions.
One of the event organizers told Local News 8 why the discussion is important:
“There have been conversations in the last couple of legislative sessions about either fully repealing Medicaid expansion or making significant cuts to Medicaid,” Shantay Boxham, the organizer, said. “This is an educational forum to ensure voters and community members have the information they need about what the program is, what’s at stake, and how it supports Idaho and Idahoans.”
There are limited seats available for the meeting. To reserve a spot, visit members.pocatello.com.
