A Burley resident sched- uled to appear in court Tuesday to enter a plea on felony charges of robbery, aggravated battery and bat- tery with intent to commit a serious felony, died Saturday in an automobile collision in Paul. Steven Damron, 26, died at about 9 p.m. after his 1984 Toyota SR5 was struck by a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado driven by Braun Catmull, 18, of Paul. The collision occurred at the intersection of 200 South and 500 West in Paul. According to the Minidoka County Sheriff’s report, Catmull was traveling east on 200 South and drove through a stop sign, colliding with the passenger side of Damron’s vehicle. Both vehicles left the road and rolled several times. Damron, according to the report, was ejected from his vehicle “sometime during the second and third roll” and died at the scene. Emergency personnel attended to Catmull, who was severely injured. He was later transported to Minidoka Memorial Hospital. “As far as I know, he’s in sta- ble but critical condition,” Minidoka County Sheriff Kevin Halverson said Tuesday afternoon. Alcohol was not involved in the incident, according to Halverson, but he confirmed at the Burley Inn on January 10th at 7 pm that Catmull still faces legal consequences. “He’s not even out of the hospital yet — charges are Bring your receipts from Nov. 27 - Dec. 24 pending,” Halverson said. Referring to Damron, he said, “It was a tragic accident.

“Yolele! Recipes From the Heart of Senegal,’’ the recent- ly published debut cookbook from Brooklyn chef and restaurateur Pierre Thiam, is a vibrant and compelling col- lection, and a terrific intro- duction to a less familiar cui- sine. Beautifully shot by Adam Bartos, Thiam’s book reads like a tour guide, with recipes for popular African street food, hearty traditional stews and dishes showcasing the country’s Portuguese and Vietnamese influences, as well as the significant imprint of French colonialism (Senegal was a French colony until 1960). The food is fascinating, adventurous and deeply fla- vorful.
