In the proclamation, the President states:

Tuesday, March 28, 2023

As a mark of respect for the victims of the senseless acts of violence perpetrated on March 27, 2023, in Nashville, Tennessee, by the authority vested in me as President of the United States by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby order that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset, March 31, 2023. I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same length of time at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-seventh day of March, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-seventh.

Castle Rock Road

Tuesday, March 21, 2023
By Sawyer Crenshaw

In the hills along Idaho’s Highway 20 between Fairfield and Mountain Home there are visual treasures beyond the wildest dreams. Residents of Elmore County and those who have made the drive are likely familiar with the rolling hills, camas lilies, rock formations, and wildlife that stretch across the range.

The aptly named Sun Valley Highway is no doubt the gateway to a plethora of Elmore County’s most beautiful areas. One of these beautiful locations, forest service road 152, more commonly referred to as Castle Rock Road, boasts a beautiful display of the southern Idaho geological landscape. It is here that eroded granite spires gently pierce the skies. The beautiful granite formations that serve as the road’s namesake are portions of Idaho’s batholith, which intruded into existing rock formations in the area approximately 64-100 million years ago. Years of weathering and erosion from weather conditions have shaped the spires into the beautiful, smooth granite structures we see today. The formations have been there for longer than imaginable, and the changes they undergo take so long, that even over a century they appear identical, and just as beautiful.
