The Associated Press called the race at 7 p.m., the minute polls closed. Bextel had earned a little less than 17% of the statewide vote.

She lives in the area that is the highest risk for a wildlife engagement,” Jorgensen said. “For her to be so flippant about that is highly concerning.” Whether the town will enforce its regulations against Bextel’s birds remains to be seen.

Idaho Foodbank sets 1 million meal goal for holiday campaign in eastern Idaho

POCATELLO — The Idaho Foodbank has started its annual Hope for the Holidays campaign, with a goal of providing food for 1 million meals in eastern Idaho over the next two months. About 1 in 7 people in eastern Idaho face food insecurity, including 1 in 6 children, the organization said. The foodbank and 150 local partner groups serve nearly 44,000 people in the region each month. Foodbank President and CEO Randy Ford said high prices for food and other basic goods continue to add stress for families during the holidays, and he urged residents to take part in the campaign. Several fundraisers run statewide. Customers at participating Albertsons stores can buy Holiday Bucks at checkout through Dec. 31 as part of the chain’s Feed Joy campaign, and Maverik is collecting round-up donations at its stores. On Giving Tuesday, Dec. 1, donations to the foodbank will be matched up to $10,000 by Rodger and Cynthia Shaver. In eastern Idaho, a Light the World Giving Machine will operate at ICCU Headquarters, 4400 Central Way in Chubbuck, sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
