After installing an air base in Soda Springs, Air Idaho Rescue met us at the tarmac for a ride
IDAHO FALLS - Employees at Air Idaho Rescue know that medical emergencies usually happen at inconvenient times in remote areas.
Since 1990, Air Idaho Rescue has helped patients in remote regions of eastern Idaho, southern Montana and western Wyoming. They have three air bases total, located in Driggs, West Yellowstone and Yellowstone National Park. A new pad was just installed at the airport in Soda Springs, making it the fourth air base in Idaho.
Idaho Air Rescue Pilot Shaun Powell tells EastIdahoNews.com these air bases are strategically placed to accommodate the high number of calls they receive from people in these areas throughout the year.
By being on the outskirts of our community, it allows us to be where the patients need us and bring them to a high level of care in a timely manner, Powell says.
Powell is a rotor wing pilot who flies Air Idaho's Astar 350 helicopter directly to the scene of the accident, helps load the patient, and quickly transports them to the nearest hospital as a nurse treats them en route.
Becky Rees, a registered nurse with Air Idaho, says a flight certified RN and medic is aboard every flight. The majority of patients they treat during the summer, she says, are tourists who live at or below sea level.
A lot of the patients we see have respiratory or cardiac issues. So, we're able to intervene and get them what they need to stay alive, Rees says.
Heart attack and stroke victims are other common patients they encounter.
Air Idaho Rescue owns three helicopters and a Pilatus PC-12 Airplane to respond to emergencies. James Jarvie is a registered nurse on the airplane's medical crew. He says they can use the aircraft in many different ways.
We've had a helicopter go to an area where there's multiple patients. We'll land at the nearest airport and they'll bring us a patient. We'll then go to the hospital with that patient while they go back and get another patient.
Jarvie says the vast majority of calls have a positive outcome for the patient.
The passengers onboard these flights are not usually there by choice, but when Air Idaho offered us a ride, we were fortunate to get aboard of our own free will and choice.

Falcon wearing POV camera flying high over Jackson Hole Wyoming
This is a male Gyrfalcon x Peregrine falcon hybrid flying high over Wilson, Wyoming. He was part of the 2012 falcon-cam hack project at Teton Raptor Center. He was trained by their Program Director, Jason Jones, for hack. Hack denotes a type of training where the falcons are trained to return each day to a location, rather than a person. He could be released each morning, fly anywhere he wanted, and then return to the chambers each evening. This type of training has been used to train hunting falcons, falconry birds, for ages. The novel part of the project involved the cameras they each carried. This falcon was wearing an HD POV camera on his back as he flew each day. From the view of a falcon, we can see the amazing views of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. In this video it is interesting to note that the winds were 20+ mph at ground level, considerably more up high, and this falcon was able to rise over 3000 feet into the sky in a matter of less than 20 minutes. This falcon was placed out each day for over 8 weeks. This falcon was brought to the Teton Raptor Center for the hack project and then will be sent to a falconry home at the end of summer.

Driggs Teacher takes Under God out of Pledge of Allegiance
DRIGGS, Idaho - A teacher in Driggs started teaching her class the Pledge of Allegiance without the words Under God.
According to state law, you can't alter a single word of the pledge.
The Pledge of Allegiance is over 100 years old. In 1954, the words Under God were added, and since then the pledge hasn't been revised.
Leilani Daniels teaches kindergarten at the Kindergarten Center in Driggs. During the first week of school she taught her class the Pledge of Allegiance - but without the words Under God.
It terrifies me. Our community here? We're a conservative community. Just in the last less than 10 years, I feel like these liberals have moved into our valley and tried to change it, said Tracy Tronks.
When Tracy Tronks found out, she went to the teacher.
She told me that times were changing. She told that we shouldn't mix church and state. And she told me it was the non-denominational way to teach it. And I told her it was the wrong way to teach it, said Tronks.
Then Tronks went to the principal.
We hired a teacher from another state, great teacher, great lady. Where she was they taught them to do the non-denominational pledge, said Principal Rich Coburn.
And whether you agree with having the words 'Under God' in the Pledge of Allegiance, it's the law that you can't change any of the words.
There's really no allowance in there for changing the wording. In Idaho, it's pretty set, so we follow the law as written, said Coburn.
The principal agreed with Tracy Tronks, citing the Idaho code. The principal said the teacher is in good standing, put the words under God back in the following day, and there hasn't been an incident since.
Idaho state law requires public schools in grades 1 through 12 to recite the Pledge of Allegiance or the National Anthem every day.
Public Law 33 - 1602
4) Every public school shall offer the Pledge of Allegiance or the National Anthem in grades one (1) through twelve (12) at the beginning of each school day.
There is a bit of irony in the story, Monday is the anniversary of when Congress passed the legislation and Eisenhower signed a bill into law on Flag Day, June 14, 1954, that officially made the words Under God into the Pledge of Allegiance.
