Sue Miche's sister, Mary Domerell from Denver broke her leg when she fell off her horse while helping Blessinger's work cows.  Thanks to John and Tracy for helping soothe the patient with pop, ibuprofen and toast.

Thanks to successful elk hunter, Duane Tucker, who spotted an injured Angus bull belonging to Blessinger's on Renwyck Creek where he had killed a 5 point bull with his bow.  He reported the brand.  Tom Blessinger, Roger Klingback and Lu Shelton went up Renwyck Creek, moved the bull down the trail carefully to Renwyck campground where the bull was loaded into a stock trailer.

Again thanks to Duane for his observation and care.

From the Blessinger's

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE MONDAY NIGHT MEETING!

I was unable to attend the Commissioners meeting Monday night, but my ace reporter sent me some of the highlights. You know who you are and many thanks!

Highlights :
 
The weed dept. has a cost sharing program on a first come first served basis.  You can sign up in the spring and get herbicide for a discounted price.  There were 16 new invasive weeds species brought into Gem County during the last year.
 
A grant is in the works for the overlaying of the remainder of the Sweet Ola Highway to the end of the pavement.  Next summer will begin the prep work and engineering with the paving to be done in 2013.
 
A new emergency dispatch system for the state of Idaho is being prepared.  This involves hardwire, wireless and satellite systems.  This will go on line in one or two years.
 
Walter Knox Hospital is county owned but uses no tax payer money.
 
 

WOOD HAULER RUNS OFF THE ROAD!

Late, Thursday afternoon, a wood hauler ran off the road, north of Ola, by Fennell's. The ambulance was called up but it was determined that they were not needed. He had lost control and bounced across the rocky pasture, but did not roll his vehicle. The Sheriff is now investigating the accident.

  Following is a copy of the original post that I posted!

******BIG NEWS******
The Ola Inn will be closed starting Saturday (tomorrow) at noon for 7-10 days. During this closure, we will be making repairs and "spiffing" up the place. Alan J. and myself are going to be managing the Inn for Ellen upon reopening.
