But minors eager to whet their whistle across the border will most likely have to wait until they tum 21, Idaho legislators say. In fact, most Idahoans were not even aware of the rumor. "That rumor is unfounded," said Sen. Don Mackin, D-Moscow. He also said it was the first time he had heard of such an idea. Several years ago, the federal government threat- ened to withhold highway funding to all states who did not convert to a legal drinking age of 21. The government gave states like Idaho three years to change their alcohol policies. Mackin said highway funding is collected from gas taxes as well as taxes on other automobile parts such as batteries. The money is then returned to individual states to provide maintenance and repairs on local roads. He said ail Idahoans would lose money if the drinking age was lowered again. "We'd still be paying the taxes, we just wouldn't get any money back. Idaho would lose millions of dollars a year," he said. But border cities in Idaho that boomed because of alcohol sales are now seeing a decline in busi- nesS. Three bars in Moscow have closed within the last year. Michael Cowan, daytime manager of Murdoc's bar in Moscow, said all types of businesses have dropped in sales. "Because of the drinking age change and I thmk just a general attitude around town, business has DailyEvergreen/ Jodi Elkins declined," he said. After three weeks in captivity, this eagle is ready to soar again. Dr. Erik Stauber (pictured) has Cowan said he believes the federal government nursed the eagle back to health after it was found near Walla Walla, unable to fly. The eagle was blackmailed states into changing the drinking age. Cowan would like to see the drinking age moved released outside of Colton, overlooking the Snake River, on the property of Tony Rogstad, who assisted Dr. Stauber in the eagle's recovery.

    2020 ANNUAL REPORT BUILDING BRIGHTER FUTURES CHIcaGO LIGHTS builds brighter futures for Chicago’s youth and adults through supportive relationships and life-changing programs. We believe every person deserves access to the resources they need to overcome systemic barriers and achieve their ambitions. Chicago Lights provides creative youth development and social services that help people build the skills they need to lead fulfilling lives. We partner with Chicago’s youth and adults in mentoring, supportive services, academic enrichment, career development, and arts education. 2020 WAS A Year LIKE NO otHER. All of us were challenged with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, social unrest, and economic stress. Many families in Chicago were already facing systemic barriers to employment, education, health, and housing. Add the effects of COVID-19—increased unemployment, remote learning, and lack of access to quality healthcare—and many people were left far behind. But people were resilient. The Chicago Lights family came together to support each other, quickly shifting to a new virtual space. Chicago Lights Tutoring, Summer Day, Dance Academy, and Urban Farm programming for students all pivoted online to stay connected and offer mentorship, job training, academic support, and arts enrichment. The Social Service Center provided curbside services, making sure guests’ basic needs were met with clothing, food, and hygiene items. Case management for guests’ long-term goals related to housing, employment, and health took place over the phone. Volunteers and donors continued to generously offer their time and financial gifts, allowing Chicago Lights to continue to be a source of hope for so many.
