News from my hometown, sort of, Cassia County judge Monte Carlson has passed away.
From the South Idaho Press you can read of his passing or a better article about Carlson's role as founder of the drug court can be found on the Times-News website.
In my experience with Carlson I never had a single word of criticism. This was one of the most decent men I have ever met. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Judge Carlson is my grandmother's cousin. He was a good judge and a great man.
Cassia County has been lucky to have some good individuals in on the bench. Judge Carlson, Judge Granada, etc. Sadly, they always seem to be taken fairly young.
I knew Judge Carlson through the beginning years of Drug Court. He was always humane and fair to my my clients, and was a truly compassionate man.
I knew Monte Carlson as President Carlson, President of the LDS Taiwan Taichung Mission in 1984 -1985 time frame. He was a great spiritual leader, teacher, and mentor. Incredibly passionate about his role in that great country, he worked tirelessly to reach those who were seeking truth and happiness. I was with him at the dedication of the LDS Taipei Temple. An incredible man who accomplished a great deal in his lifetime, I will always miss his smile and great work ethic. He taught me so much at the time. A truly great man.
