GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ The Idaho State Police has extended its trooper training academy application deadline to Oct. 17 amid a statewide shortage of troopers—training will begin in January in Meridian with recruits paid during the 22-week course.

- ➤ Kellogg officials submitted a Letter of Map Revision to FEMA to update flood maps based on new data that shows the 100-year flood flow is roughly 60 percent lower than previously estimated; they have asked Senators Jim Risch and Mike Crapo for support. The revision would reduce the mapped floodplain from 1,118 parcels over 2,500 acres to 523 parcels over 760 acres — a change that may lower flood insurance costs and free up land for redevelopment.
