The beefy, military-inspired SUV began as a macho icon for enthusiasts like Arnold Schwarzenegger, who held photo ops in Hummers in his early days as governor.

POCATELLO — Michael McDonald came out of nowhere.

Then to in the finals,McDonald squeaked out a 6-5 decision over No. 1 seed Ben Watt of Bonners Ferry to win the state champsionship. All this after going two-and-out in each of the previous two state tournaments. “I never believed I could achieve something like this, I thought it was out of my reach,” McDonald said, “but I just got confident and decided to work harder this year than I ever Twin Falls senior Zack Slotten, left, wrestles Blackfoot’s Dakota Bitton during the Idaho State Championship wrestling finals Saturday in Pocatello. have.” McDonald’s semifinal match was even closer than his final, as he needed overtime to get a 3- 1 decision over Jacob Eck of Teton. “Honestly, I didn’t think I was going to be a state champ,”McDonald said. “I wanted to be, but it didn’t really sink in until I won my (semi- final) match this morning that I was going to the championship. This feeling is amazing. I want to feel this again, I really do.” McDonald was the only Class 3A individual champion from Magic Valley on Saturday, although there were three runners-up. Kimberly freshman Jacob Herman lost his 103-pound title match to Blaine Invernon of Bonners Ferry by pin. In the 189-pound final, Buhl senior Blake Finney was pinned by V.J. Giulio of American Falls. At 215, Filer senior Nick Fleenor lost by pin to Brian Richardson of South Fremont in the title match.

On March 2,Pete the dachshund is head- ing for the auction block. The petite pup is being sold to satisfy unpaid charges for his medical treatment at Rupert Animal Clinic after his owners did- n’t pick him up and didn’t return calls from the clinic. Although selling dogs at auction isn’t common,it’s not the first time the vet- erinary office has resorted to legal measures to take care of abandoned animals. Pete’s reputed owners, Lynne and Lloyd Gale,dropped off the dog after he was hit by a car in January. Employees at the animal clinic fixed him up, then repeatedly tried to contact the Gales to retrieve him. But no one ever returned their multiple calls, they said. So the vet clinic contacted its lawyer and set up the doggy auction. “PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on Tuesday,March 2, 2010 at the hour of 11:00 AM of said day the Rupert Animal Clinic, Inc., will sell at public auction: A Dachshund named ‘Pete,’” read a Feb. 16 legal notice in the Times-News.
