Upriver, ID

The University of Idaho students came to the UpRiver Community to develop conceptual designs for both community centers: Fernwood (CAF) and Emida. The final drawings and proposed plans were presented on campus and at the Horizons Summit event. All the display materials were given to the communities.

The Community Identified Illegal Drugs As A Major Concern And Contributor To Poverty. A Meth Awareness Night Was Held In Fernwood as a joint sponshorship with St Maries Horizons on July 17, 2008. Ice Cream Was Served, And 45 People Attended, Mostly Youth. The event was attended by 45 people who were mostly youth.

The Fernwood Church stepped up to save the Fernwood Senior meal site from closing by taking over management and fiscal responsibilities from the previous provider out of St. Maries. There is also a meals on wheels available in UpRiver. The church also acquired a school bus which they are willing to make available for public transportation, particularly for special events related to the UpRiver Community and organizations.

The Medley Cedar Mill in Santa has donated fencing to repair the fence around the Fernwood community building (CAF). Many thanks for this generous donation to help update our community building.
