ISLAND PARK A Pocatello child was severely injured Monday when a family camping trip turned into a parents worst nightmare.

Five-year-old Jack Moser was riding his bike at a campsite in Island Park when a truck hauling a trailer pulled through the campground, according to his uncle Jordan Peterson. He said Jack pulled off to the side, but when the trailer was next to him, Jack lost his balance, fell and was ran over by two tires.

There happened to be an ambulance coming from Hebgen Lake (Montana) going to Madison Memorial in Rexburg that saw the call come in, Peterson said. They had a patient in the back of the ambulance and the EMTs realized this is pretty serious. They were about two miles away and they ended up going (to the campground).

The paramedics took the other patient, Jack, and his mother, Amber, in the ambulance to Madison Memorial Hospital. Once there, he was airlifted to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center.

A firefighter was giving Amber a ride to EIRMC in a department vehicle that had lights and sirens on but on their way, Peterson said somebody failed to yield and hit the emergency vehicle.

It just so happened that another vehicle that was passing by was a nursing student who was graduating the next day, Peterson said. He and his kids were in the car and offered to give my sister a ride the rest of the way to Idaho Falls.

Jack lost over half of his blood volume by the time he arrived at EIRMC. He was intubated, sedated and flown to Primary Childrens Hospital in Salt Lake City where emergency surgery was performed to try and stop the bleeding.

Between Idaho Falls and Salt Lake, Jack received 11 units of blood products and platelets, so he has more donor blood in his body than he has his own, Peterson explained.

Doctors determined Jack has a broken pelvis, broken femur, damage to his colon and bladder and a laceration to his perineum, which is the underside between his legs. Hes already undergone several surgeries since the accident.

On top of everything, Jacks father, Jordan, isnt allowed to visit the hospital because the patient Amber and Jack rode with in the ambulance to Rexburg tested positive for COVID-19. Amber and Jack are being quarantined for 14 days.

Theres a lot of factors about this thing, Peterson said. Its not just one thing. Its everything. Theres so much going on its hard to comprehend.

Peterson said Jack, who is typically the happiest, most charming child, has a long road ahead of him.

Its not just this week or next week, this is going to be six months to a year at least of recovery time, Peterson said.

To help the Moser family, a GoFundMe acount has been set up and people can donate via Venmo.

Theres also a Jog for Jack! fundraiser Saturday from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. at Jriven Fitness, located at 669 W. Quinn No. 13. in Pocatello.

People will now be able to cast phone-in votes in the upcoming Gwich'in Tribal Council election.

This is a first for members of the council. In2016, it first introduced online voting.

Now voters who may have trouble accessinginternet and who can't vote in person due to living far from voting sites or those with health concerns will have another option.

Mary Ann Villeneuve, the chief returning officer with thecouncil, said phone voting was introduced partly because of concerns over the accessibility of online voting among elders.

"It gives people anoption, right? Maybe they don't have internet or you know, they're not familiar with voting online or anything technology," Villeneuve said.

Gwich'in voters who opt to do electronic voting will be able to go online or call a number and enter their unique pin to cast a ballot.

"Voters will receive it in the mail. Basically, it's a letter it will have all the instructions,"Villeneuve said.

She said people can also request an absentee ballot if neither electronic voting nor in-person voting is an option.

The election is on Sept. 3 between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. MT.

There are two candidates running for chief and two candidates running for deputy grand chief.Neither current Grand Chief Bobbie Jo Greenland-Morgan, nor deputy chief Jordan Peterson will be running.

There will be health safety measures in place at in-person voting stations for those who cast paper ballots.

In-person polling stations include:

Hess Jr. claims third win in a row at Eriez | News, Sports, Jobs - timesobserver.com

When the request came across a direct message on Ryan Crookhams Instagram account, he didnt hesitate to say yes.

It was a no-brainer, he said.

The request was an invitation to wrestle in FLOWrestlings annual Whos Number 1 (WNO) preseason classic.

Crookham, a junior at Notre Dame, will be joined by Northampton senior Jagger Condomitti in the eighth annual event, to be wrestled Oct. 3 in Austin, Tex.

Crookham, a two-time PIAA 2A champion, will wrestle Wyoming Seminary junior Nic Bouzakis, a National Prep champion, at 132 pounds, while Condomitti, a two-time PIAA 3A medalist and 2020 runner-up, will take on Brecksville (Ohio)s Victor Voinovich, an Ohio state champion, at 152 pounds.

For Condomitti, a Nebraska commit, his selection fulfills a longtime dream.

I have been to all of the WNOs except last year, he said. When I went to WNO at Lehigh (in Grace Hall) it just seemed like another level of high school wrestling, at the next level. I wasnt sure Id ever get the chance to wrestle in it but then it all kind of fell into place.

It surely did for Crookham as well, whose matchup with Bouzakis is a real No. 1 v. No. 2. They ended their sophomore seasons ranked No. 1 (Bouzakis) and No. 2 by Intermat at 126 pounds -- the sole difference being a 4-3 decision by Bouzakis over Crookham in the final at the Walsh Jesuit Ironman Tournament.

I have been looking forward to that matchup for almost a year now, said Crookham, who went 51-1 as a sophomore. Thats the one guy I have had on my mind.

Crookham leads the overall series with Bouzakis, a Florida native, 2-1, having won a couple of freestyle bouts. But the Ironman bout still stings.

It was 2-2 heading into the third period, Crookham said. I was riding on top and they called him for stalling so I was winning 3-2. With 15 seconds left he got to his feet, and reversed me, you could call it a buzzer-beater. I have not forgotten that at all. Hes really strong and uses his strength a lot in his wrestling.

Condomitti doesnt have a history with Voinovich, an Oklahoma State recruit who was ranked No. at 145 for a while last season by Intermat. The season ended with Voinovich ranked No. 7 and Condomitti (39-4 as a junior) ranked No. 11 by Intemat.

Victor and I were in the same bracket at the Beast of the East, but we didnt wrestle, Condomitti said. I have wrestled him a little in practice two years at a camp at Cornell, we drilled a little. We have some common opponents. He wrestled at WNO last year (where he pinned Jesse Vasquez of California).

Condomitti said he was originally set to wrestle another opponent before the organizers changed to Voinovich.

It doesnt matter to me, he said.

Training during the COVID-19 pandemic has been a challenge even for top wrestlers like these two.

I havent been working on anything specific in my training, Condomitti said. I was working out in my house with my brother (Bug, a Northampton sophomore) and sometimes working out with (coach Jeff) Buxton and guys from the Lehigh Valley Wrestling Club. It was wrestling, and (weight)lifting, wrestling and lifting. Only in the last couple of days have I been getting back to regular practices.

Crookham said he has been working on his conditioning.

I want to be able to put a pace on my opponents, not just technique them but be able to wear them down, he said. I have been training non-stop; in fact, I was overtrained. I wasnt able to wrestle any real matches.

Bouzakis will be a real good match, and maybe even a present of sorts for Crookham.

My birthday is the day before WNO, he said. I always had in my mind that I could wrestle at WNO, and I always dreamed of myself on that stage, getting my hand raised.
