Editor s Note
Editor s note: Newspapers across southern Idaho collaborated this month to tell the stories of some of those lost to the COVID-19 pandemic.
BOISE â When Diana Logan and her husband, David Logan, first got sick with COVID-19 in late August, the couple expected theyâd be able to recover with time.
However, only Diana did.
David died Oct. 4 at 65 years old from the novel coronavirus â a disease that has killed more than a thousand Idahoans since the start of the pandemic in March. Prior to his death, he had spent more than a month in the hospital and about half of that time on a ventilator.
TWIN FALLS â One of the areaâs largest fundraisers, Magic Valley Festival of Giving, had to cancel this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but event organizers encourage people to support the charities directly this holiday season.
Festival organizer Mark Hansen said the event raised more than $250,000 last year for 30 non-profit charities along with thousands of pounds of food for food pantries and shelters and barrels of toys for Santaâs Cause Inc.
The event also supports organizations like the American Legion and the Boys & Girls Club, among others.
Porch pirates and other thieves are already busy trying steal peopleâs holiday cheer along with their presents and seasonal yard decorations.
