This has nothing to do with me being a hot wife because .. well .. I eat cupcakes. It also could mean I’m the hot wife from hot flashes but it doesn’t.
No my wonderful outdoor readers …..

I’ve been reading about another action that Idaho’s Governor Butch Otter is taking to cut costs.  He is trying to shut down Idaho Public Television.  I think this would be a travesty.  I particularly enjoy watching Outdoor Idaho that is produced by this network and know many others who also watch it ans several of the other programs.  Can’t he find solutions other than shutting down Idaho Public Television or dismantling our State Park System?  Read more about the Idaho Public Television proposal.

The 38th annual SCI Hunters’ Convention opened Tuesday night with the 11th annual “Feed the Hungry Feast” at the Reno Events Center in downtown Reno. The Sportsmen Against Hunger (SAH) program helped to serve 1,980 meals of elk meatloaf, salad, mixed vegetables, mashed potatoes, bread and cake for dessert to the hungry of Reno. 800 pounds of Roosevelt elk and beef was provided by the SCI Northern Nevada Chapter and Multiple Use Managers.

Some 90 SCI volunteers, who arrive early each year, help to serve the food and work on the serving lines. SCI past president Merle Shepard was among those who spent the evening on the serving line providing food for the hungry.

The other 70-plus volunteers who helped to serve are from The Salvation Army Advisory Board, Wells Fargo, Kiwanis Sunrisers and Boy Scout Troop 152. The High Sierra Chefs Association helped to prepare the food for the evening’s event.

Sportsmen Against Hunger has worked with The Salvation Army since 1999 when it was held at the Reno Fairgrounds and served around 300 meals to the hungry. Over the years the event has grown tremendously and has become one of the major events to help the citizens of Reno.

Longtime sponsors who give every year are The Salvation Army, C& M Food Distributors, the Eldorado Hotel & Casino, Model Dairy, SportsServices, Truckee Sourdough, Sysco and the Reno Sheriff’s Department.

Anyone interested in helping next year, please contact Eva Wilson, SCI Foundation Humanitarian Services Manager at (520) 620-1220, Ext. 480 or e-mail ewilson@safariclub.org.
