ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) — The St. Joseph Habitat for Humanity held a ribbon-cutting and house blessing on Wednesday on the corner of 1520 Moss St. for a local family.

The ceremony kicked off with a ribbon-cutting by the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce, marking the 84th house built in St. Joseph.

Shayla Dial and her daughters were looking for a permanent home prior to reaching out to Habitat for Humanity.

Through 450 hours of work from herself and members of the community, she was able to build a dream home for her family.

“It means a lot to be able to provide a place, not just a house, a home for my family as a single mom.” Dial said, “I’m so excited. I can’t wait until everything is in place and I can sit on my couch in my new home.”

Sam Ross

POCATELLO, Idaho (KIFI)– Idaho hunters who successfully drew tags for controlled hunts in the Southeast Region have until Friday, August 1, to buy their tags before applications open for the second drawing.

The Idaho Department of Fish and Game said tags for controlled hunts of deer, elk, pronghorn, swan, fall black bear, and fall turkey left unclaimed after August 1 will be forfeited and sent to the second drawing pool, which will accept applications starting August 5.

“This is just trying to connect people to the opportunities that are out there,” said Jennifer Jackson, communications manager for Idaho Fish and Game’s Southeast Region. “We don’t want to let those tags go to waste; we want them to be in the hands of hunters that love and appreciate hunting, and love the outdoors, and want to spend time hunting in Idaho, and having these tag sales is one way to do that.”

Results of the second controlled hunt tag drawing will be available August 26. Tags for sandhill crane and sage grouse hunts will also go on sale August 1.

Former Deer Ridge prison contract worker gets 10-day jail term, 3 years probation for sexual relationship with inmate

KTVZ on July 30, 2025

(Update: Jefferson County DA’s Office recused itself from case; defendant had worked as trial assistant)

MADRAS, Ore. (KTVZ) — Jobett Christine Zamora pleaded guilty to one count of custodial misconduct and received a sentence of 10 days in jail and three years’ probation for having a sexual relationship with an inmate at Deer Ridge State Prison in Madras, while working there as a contractor for Oregon Corrections Enterprises.

Court documents reviewed by KTVZ News show the 40-year-old Madras resident engaged in an act of sexual intercourse with an inmate at least twice while working at Deer Ridge as a contractor.

The two incidents happened between December 2022 and July 2023, which led to her two felony charges of first-degree custodial sexual misconduct and a misdemeanor charge of first-degree official misconduct.

Zamora pleaded guilty to one of the felony charges. In exchange, she had her other felony and misdemeanor charges dropped.

KTVZ News also learned Zamora was a trial assistant for the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office from 2019 to 2021. In light of this, the DA’s office had to recuse itself, leaving Deschutes County District Attorney Steve Gunnels to prosecute the case.

At the time of the relationship, Zamora was a contractor worker at Deer Ridge for Oregon Corrections Enterprises (OCE).

OCE is a semi-independent stage agency funded through the products and services it provides. The revolutionary program works inside Oregon’s prisons, providing training and career opportunities for inmates. 

The inmate is not named in the charging documents. It’s not clear how the relationship surfaced, though charging documents indicate the encounters were likely caught on camera.

Luis Avila

PALM DESERT, Calif. (KESQ) – Local health leaders are bracing for the effects of a new federal law that could make it harder for people to get the care they need.

Congressman Raul Ruiz will meet with local healthcare leaders from Innercare, Desert Healthcare District, Tri-State Community Healthcare, and DAP Health. The roundtable will focus on how the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” could affect patients, hospitals, and providers in the region.

Officials say the new federal law could lead to 17 million Americans losing coverage, higher out-of-pocket costs, and widespread closures of hospitals and nursing homes.
