VETERANS CEMETERY-GAY SPOUSE
BOISE — A 74-year-old Boise woman wants to overturn a constitutional amendment that says Idaho doesn't recognize same-sex marriage after learning the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery won't allow her to be buried with her partner's ashes. Madelynn Taylor served in the U.S. Navy for six years. She says after her spouse Jean Mixner died in 2012 she went to the veteran's cemetery to make arrangements for them to be buried together, but cemetery rules require a valid marriage certificate. The state of Idaho does not recognize their 2008 marriage in California.
POT PROFILING
BOISE — The state of Idaho says its sovereign immunity from lawsuits should protect the Idaho State Police from being sued in a license-plate profiling case. The state made the argument in its response to a lawsuit filed by Darien Roseen of Colorado, the Spokesman-Review reported. SENT: 300 words.
OFF THE GRID
IDAHO FALLS — Dave Noack was shaped by catastrophe. From 1973 to 1975, Noack served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in an Ireland torn by civil unrest and chaos. The turmoil got so bad, employees from the region's nuclear power plant stopped going to work and Noack experienced his first major blackout. "It opened my eyes to things I had never even thought about before," Noack said. By Aubrey Wieber of the Post Register. SENT: 940 words.
