President Ron and Sister Becky Craven spoke at the BYU-Idaho devotional on Tuesday, June 18, 2024, about being doers of the work and being humble in covenant leadership.
Recently the word ‘curtailment’ has been in the media in connection with those in the agriculture industry, ground and surface water users, and the Idaho Department of Water Resources. Curtailments or a restriction of groundwater pumping, usually happen when there is a prediction of a water supply shortage, and simply put groundwater users with junior water rights are sometimes subject to decisions that protect the interest of those with senior water rights. Most recently a projection from IDWR suggested there could be a water shortage of 74,100 acre-feet of water to the Twin Falls Canal Company. To put that into perspective one acre-foot of water equals 325,000 gallons. Because of this, the water supply for east Idaho groundwater users with some 6,400 junior water rights, and 500,000 acres of farmland were threatened. This included those in Bingham, Bonneville, Jefferson, and Clark water districts. Those in Madison, Henry’s Fork, American Falls, and Aberdeen districts were not subject to this curtailment order.

We all have goals we want to achieve but those goals take time and patience to achieve. Working toward these goals requires us to be “all in” as we make our efforts constant, steady and frequent, said Heather Hall, the online hiring coordinator at BYU-Idaho.
“A few words listed as antonyms to casual and occasional are deliberate, premeditated, constant, steady, and frequent. So to rephrase Elder Uchtdorf’s comment would be to say our commitment to the Savior and His gospel must be deliberate, premeditated, constant, steady, and frequent. In other words, we need to be all in,” Hall said in her devotional address.
Hall spoke about a time when she learned this lesson when she failed to practice for the swimming portion of a triathlon.
“I was not deliberate, constant, or frequent in my swimming preparation for the triathlon or the outcome might have been different. To apply this to spiritual matters, there are things that—if neglected—will impact the overall results of our mortal journey. If our ultimate desire is to attain exaltation, we need to strive to be all in with the spiritual aspects of our race,” Hall said.
In an interview with BYU-Idaho Radio, Hall talked about some of her favorite examples of people who demonstrated their devotion by being all in through their actions, like many characters from the scriptures and Latter-day Saints.
“[Nephi] is a great example and Joseph Smith is another one, our Pioneers even… I just think of them being all in despite all they had to go through,” Hall said in an interview with BYU-Idaho Radio.
In the interview, Hall also talked about needing the help of the Savior at all times no matter what kind of preparations we have undertaken.
“It doesn't matter how much you prepare, you are going to need the Savior’s help for everything that you do. If at any point you think you are doing it by yourself you are wrong,” Hall said.

We are trying to find a day for Yu-Gi-Oh, and Dungeons and Dragons is on Saturdays. Boardgames is all day any day,” said Jarek Smith in an interview with BYU-Idaho Radio.
The store was a result of a need in Rigby that fit with Smith’s love for board games and blossomed into a business after he and his wife saw there were no toy stores in Rigby.
“We took our daughter and walked around all of Rigby and decided that the only store that’s not around anywhere is a toy store,” Smith said.
Smith was fond of board games as a child but was introduced to the world-building and atmospheric presentation of more niche games while in high school after a co-worker brought him to a game night with some other friends where they played games like Betrayal at House on the Hill.
Now Smith has big plans for expanding the stores including the potential to host a crepe café.
“The plan is crepes, ok? So sweet and savory crepes … so were are going to do that and soft-serve ice cream,” Smith said.

The annual Sugar City Days Celebration is this weekend. Idaho Falls residents are receiving scam calls. There was a building fire in Rexburg this morning.
Britespark Films and Discovery Channel are working on a documentary that features the Teton Dam disaster of 1976 when the newly completed dam burst.
“The plan was to fill it over the course of two years … with all that runoff the dam was full,” Tietjen said in an interview with BYU-Idaho Radio.
The dam had visible leaks and many attempts were made to repair and keep it standing, but it eventually gave into the unexpected amount of water on June 5, 1976. The disaster and resulting flood claimed 11 lives and caused millions in damages, and flood lines can still be seen today on some of the buildings that were standing at the time.
“When you come into the museum there is a plaque on the wall that shows you how high the water was in the building,” Tietjen said.
The Romance Theater on Main St. has a water line that was discovered by Rexburg’s Cultural Arts Department. It’s now framed for people to see.
Tietjen will be coordinating with Lara Morgenstern from Britespark Films for the production of the documentary.

Aspen Acres Disc Golf is a storefront and disc golf course just north of Rexburg. It’s owned and operated by Dane Bohman. He also teaches new players the fundamentals of the game.
“I have a store with about 1,000 discs … and when people come out that are asking about discs I usually take them out to the front of one of the holes and take a whole bunch of different types of discs so we can get an idea of their level of play and how strong an arm they have,” said Bohman in an interview with BYU-Idaho Radio.
Disc golf is a game similar to normal golf, but instead of using clubs to hit a ball into a hole, the objective is to throw discs, similar to frisbees, into a cage. This keeps the bar to entry and the cost of the sport much lower when starting out. The game is easier to pick up and has a high skill ceiling for those looking to improve their game and compete.
“It’s a sport that mainly takes place at local parks, so generally as far as the entrance to play goes it’s usually a free sport for a player once they have an assortment of discs,” Bohman said.
Many courses feel like nature hikes, with some courses located on serene volcanoes in Hawaii.
“My favorite course isn’t even in this area it’s 5,000 feet up the volcano in Haleakala in Maui … you’re up in the jungle and it’s quite fun,” Bohman said.

The fireside isn’t just for the members of the group, anyone can participate and enjoy the program and refreshments.

BYU-Idaho's devotional speaker on July 5, 2022, Jackquel Fluckinger, an admissions specialist at BYU-Idaho, gave an address where she spoke about life not turning out the way we imagine.
“One thing that didn’t go according to plan was getting married. It’s not always easy to be a single person in a family-focused church. I have served in several primary and young women’s callings working with the youth but having no children of my own,” Fluckiger said in her devotional address.
Despite the challenges, Fluckiger said she has found comfort in the words of President Dallin H. Oaks, first counselor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, when he speaks about having faith in God and trusting Him to fulfill His promises as we do our best to follow His commandments.
“Trust is a firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something. It is hard to trust that things will work out when we can’t see the whole picture or see into the future,” Fluckiger said.
That trust is something rooted in personal beliefs and experiences with God, and in an interview with BYU-Idaho Radio Fluckiger reminded listeners that while our insights and views on life are limited, God sees the whole picture and can provide us with divine guidance as we walk our path.
“Just know that there is a plan and Heavenly Father wants us to succeed and He will help us in any way that he can,” Flickinger said in an interview with BYU-Idaho Radio.

Idaho, the state known for its potatoes became the 43rd state of the U.S.A. on July 3, 1890, and during this time we celebrated Idaho Day just before Independence Day on July 4. While known for its agriculture, Idaho really saw its first population boom with the pioneers and mining industry.
“Idaho is unique even compared to our neighbors … Idaho was such a desolate place with some fur trappers … and then when the mining industry took off that was where a lot of the development came,” said Governor Brad Little in an interview with BYU-Idaho Radio.
For a long time, Idaho was seen as a pathway, a liminal space between states like Washington, Utah and California, especially during the gold rush in San Francisco. Now Idaho is growing fast, and was even the fastest growing state in 2021.
“In the last 8 or 10 years that we’ve had this incredible growth from outside of the state,” Little said.

Baby swag is a baby clothing store in Rexburg that provides new and lightly used clothes at thrifty prices. Babies typically grow out of their clothing fast and keeping up can be a financial burden, but Baby Swag aims to help families save some money while still buying nice clothes for their babies.
“Baby swag is a child and maternity clothing store … our prices are as competitive as possible because it is used clothing but we call it gently used because it’s really good condition, we are really picky about it and in some cases, it’s even new,” said Copper Quist, the owner of Baby Swag
The shop also offers activities for babies and their parents, especially to help young mothers who are raising children in the area socialize and be active in their communities.
“We are trying to be more than just a store; we are also trying to be a community. We just started activities in January … we want to do more things like reading time, other organizations coming in to give coaching or advice … in addition to having a play session,” Quist said.
Quist also gave some advice to BYU-Idaho students who are beginning their careers and making life-changing decisions.
“My experience is that when you trust God and give your best, He makes it all work. There is an act of faith that brings miracles in a spiritual sense, but it’s just the same in business,” Quist said.
Baby Swag is open every morning except Sunday at 10:00. You can learn more here: https://rexburgbabyswag.com/

“Robin Hood” is a classic tale of a British outlaw in Sherwood Forest who takes from the rich and gives to the poor, and a unique stage play of a group of actors resorting to telling the story of “Robin Hood” begins performances at BYU-Idaho tonight and will play until July 9.
The play is described as a play within another play as six actors scramble together to tell the story of Robin Hood to the audience. The play isn’t a usual stage play either. Instead of having audience members sit in front of a stage, they sit in a circle around the actors and become part of the play themselves.
“It’s laced with wonderful humor and quick disguises and witty dialogue. It’s not just zoning out in front of a TV or phone, it’s seeing something live and being an active part of it,” said Trevor Hill, the director of the play in an interview with BYU-Idaho Radio.
The play features six actors who will perform thrilling fight scenes and impressive character switches throughout the show.
“We have four actors and two musicians … there is a lot of jumping back and forth,” Hill said.
How the actors pull it off is up to you to see.
The first performance is tonight at 7:30 and you can buy tickets here: https://byui.evenue.net/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/SEGetEventInfo?ticketCode=GS%3ATWBYUID%3APAS22%3AT0629%3A&linkID=twbyuid&shopperContext=&pc=&caller=&appCode=&groupCode=&cgc=

Crane has spent a lot of time in the world of sports and even lettered in baseball, basketball, football and track when he was in high school. While he likes to relate sports to the gospel, he knows other interests have strong gospel connections.
“I’m a firm believer that no matter what you like or what your interests are, you can relate it to the gospel,” Crane said in an interview with BYU-Idaho Radio.
Crane said it’s important to learn from our mistakes and try our best to be disciples of Jesus Christ.

Brigham Young University is tearing down the Harris Fine Arts Center and replacing it with the construction of the new Arts Building for the College of Fine Arts and Communication. The building will host the performance spaces, media rooms, and cinema production areas for the departments of art, design, and theatre and media.
“We didn’t have an animation program then we didn't have a film program then, we didn’t have a design program then … this building wasn’t designed for those and we need a building to help our film and animation programs,” said Ed Adams, dean of the College of Fine Arts and Communications at BYU.
While the new building is under construction the departments will work out of the new Music Building which is finishing up its construction.
New buildings at BYU are forgoing the tradition of being named after people, and are now being named simply after their utility purpose.
“It’s a recognition that many of the blessings we have come from the Church and they don’t come from single individuals and we are not esteeming one person over another and so we are in a mode where we are going to build buildings and name them after their purpose,” Adams said.
Demolition is scheduled for the first quarter of 2023 and the project is predicted to be completed by 2025.

“Yoga is an ancient practice that allowed ancient gurus to meditate for longer and so a lot of Yoga is sitting and having non-judgmental attachments to your thoughts ... it is a unification of your body and mind and spirit,” said Amy Bunting, a yoga instructor at BYU-Idaho.
Yoga and mindfulness share many beliefs and principles taught by Jesus Christ. Students of BYU-Idaho who wish to become certified yoga instructors will have a chance to read “The Yoga of Jesus” by Paramahansa Yogananda during the certification classes.
“The most valuable thing [I've learned] is just appreciating that God is in everything and He talks to all of His children … a lot of principles that Jesus taught is what yogis teach as well,” Bunting said.
Yoga means to yoke or unite your body mind and spirit, which sounds similar to the New Testament scripture Matthew 11:28–30 where Christ invites all to take his yoke upon them, and learn of him, Bunting said.
Mindfulness practices and yoga have been used to clear the mind and relax for thousands of years and you can participate and see the benefits by attending a free one-hour class on campus.

Taking time to stop and enjoy the little things in life seems like a romanticized idea that many people find just out of their grasp. Between work, home or school for some, life becomes a rushed mess of due dates, large projects, family events and money management that creeps into the already stretched minutes of free-time people seem to have for themselves. If you’ve needed a relaxing retreat, a new yoga studio in Idaho Falls is opening next week to provide that.
“When we engage in these kinds of practices like self-care, and we take care of our body and we take care of our minds we actually increase our capacity and ability to do the things that we need to do,” said Nicole Packer, the founder of Yoga Wellness Connection in an interview with BYU-Idaho Radio.
The studio employs different wellness activities including traditional yoga, and even more unique ones like sound bathing where you sit and allow different tones and sounds to relax your body and clear your mind.
“Sound-bah is an experience where you sit while using pillows, props or blankets and just allow your body to rest and be as comfortable as possible … and a lot of people experience a clearing of thoughts and it can increase a sense of relaxation,” Packer said.
The Yoga Wellness Connection also has a “CommUNITY 4” program that allows them to provide discounted or free memberships at the Yoga Wellness Connection to those who may have financial needs. Businesses, organizations and community members can also donate to support fellow local residents in attending the classes. Yoga Wellness Connection stated that 100% of the proceeds assist with membership costs.
The grand opening ceremony is on Monday, June 20 at 451 River Pkwy, Idaho Falls ID 83402 in eagle Rock Station right across from the Falls and will feature free classes for the whole week from June 20 - 26. You can check out their Facebook page here:https://www.facebook.com/yogawellnessconnection/

The religious art genre contains some of the greatest art in history with artists like Michelangelo, Raphael, Salvador Dali and Leonardo da Vinci. Now multimedia artist Rose Datoc Dall is one of many artists who keeps the genre fresh by adding new perspectives, angles and styles to the well-depicted events of the Bible, The Book of Mormon and historical moments of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
“Really I think the breakthrough piece for me was when I created the painting ‘Flight.’ Basically that’s the flight into Egypt where Mary and Jesus are on the donkey and being led by Joseph,” Dall said. “And it’s interesting because in that particular piece I learned to marry contemporary sensibilities with religious subject matter.”
In an interview with BYU-Idaho Radio, Dall talked about how winning the International Art Competition for the Church of Jesus Christ in 2009 helped get her work noticed. She then went on to win the competition again in 2015 and 2019.
“Entering that competition, all of a sudden I found that I had this audience and the church started acquiring my work,” Dall said.
She also spoke about growing an audience, and what young artists should focus on when starting out.
“I tell young artists everywhere that the most important thing that you can do and that you can chase as an artist is to find and develop your own artist-voice … you’re basically infusing yourself and a bit of your soul into art bringing an authentic and honest statement,” Dall said.
Dall will speak on June 23 at 6 p.m. at the awards ceremony for Art Grows Rexburg. You can learn more about the event here: https://artgrowsrexburg.org/guest-artist/

The cost of living is becoming more expensive every day and for a lot of people, that means cutting back on spending on non-essentials. With rising prices, some hobbies and hobbyist groups begin to see problems with the games they play, as certain game pieces become unrealistic to obtain for more players.
Magic: The Gathering by Wizards of the Coast is a classic trading card game with a reputation for being an expensive and competitive hobby. Unfortunately, because players lack anything similar to organized sports with leagues and skill groupings, playing the game can be a frustrating experience for players simply looking for a balanced game. CGN Games is a new game store in Rexburg that aims to help foster an inviting and smooth play experience for veterans and new players of various card games.
“Anybody can sit down with anybody no matter how good or bad they are and make you go from having a really good night to having a really bad night really quickly and that’s not what these games are about you are supposed to always have fun. It’s a social thing,” said Gavin Rodriguez, the owner of CGN Games.
Rodriguez started the card store, not with the intention of making record profits, but as a way to create a better community around a hobby that has drawn him and his brother closer together.
“We have been playing for 15 years, and that’s how we started coming together as brothers… we were always fighting and didn’t get along … but then he started reaching out to me,” Rodriguez said.
Despite the focus on balancing ability levels, some events will still be competitive with prizes for players that come out on top. In an effort to help out players the store will also have raffles for valuable products often.
“We’re looking more for just come in, play, and if you want to buy something, buy something. Our main thing is that we are not banking on sales as much, but we actually want to give away a lot of our high-end product,” Rodriguez said.

While moving forward in life many people wonder when they will find a time to sit down and take a moment to connect with God. Leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teach that the Lord expects effort on our part and that while spiritual things may take work, that work is part of helping us become more like God and Jesus Christ.
“There is just something about that principle of work, President Nelson has mentioned several times that God loves effort and I think that we just need to roll up our sleeves and figure out how we can best do work of all different types,” said Jason Flora, the Humanities and Philosophy Department chair at BYU-Idaho, in an interview with BYU-Idaho Radio.
In Flora’s devotional talk titled “We Each Have Work To Do!” he spoke on the importance of work in shaping us into better people.
“Work has always entailed intentional effort or exertion on the part of our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, and so it must be with us in our journey to become more like Them. To bring about God’s perfect plan for each of us, as His literal spirit children, surely we must continue to undergo the mortal and ofttimes painful process of being ‘hammered,’ ‘scraped,’ ‘pressed,’ and ‘stretched’ in order that He might ‘fashion’ us into that ‘useful or desired product,’” Flora said.
Often, members of The Church of Jesus Christ hear the words of Church President Russel M. Nelson as he admonishes them to hasten the work of the Lord. Hastening the work starts with hastening ourselves in doing the work.
“Consequently, much of our current work should be focused on increasing our personal spiritual strength and speed,” Flora said.
Flora ended with some points on how we can advance our spirituality and strengthen ourselves to hasten the work of The Lord through increasing our capacity to receive revelation, letting God prevail in our lives, and choosing to repent daily as we strive to listen to the words of The Lord consciously and consistently.

If you or a loved one is struggling with addiction, Hope and Recovery Resource Center Inc. is starting a program that specializes in addiction recovery for entire families, in a way that helps everyone heal together from the addictive behaviors of loved ones.
“This is a 16-week program designed to meet the needs of the entire family because when one person in a family is struggling with addiction it affects the whole family,” said Kraig L. Boyd the board chair of Hope and Recovery Resource Center Inc.
According to the Hope and Recovery Resource Center, addicts and alcoholics participating in family-centered programs have higher chances of maintaining sobriety for longer periods of time and their children face lower risks of abuse, and better outcomes have been seen for at-risk children.
“We say that it is actually a family disease because everyone is impacted and often those impacted the most are children and there aren’t a lot of other resources to help children with parents who are struggling with addiction or who are in early recovery from an addiction,” said Boyd.
The program acknowledges that the actions of just one person in a family can affect all members in negative ways. They each need recovery and healing on different levels, especially for spouses and children who tend to view negative aspects of family life as their fault, although that may not be true, Boyd said.
“Children will often take responsibility for adult problems like addiction and think ‘if I was a better kid then mom wouldn’t drink or dad wouldn't go to the bar,’” Boyd said.
During the family recovery night, the families who participate will enjoy a healthy meal and activity together, separate into age-appropriate groups, have an age-appropriate discussion on the topic of addiction, then reunite and share what they have learned.
Their primary care center is in Pocatello with outreach facilities in American Falls and Soda Springs. You can visit their website by clicking the link below or calling 208-417-1749.

A mix of SALT professional dancers, dancers from the Rexburg community who auditioned, and BYU-Idaho dancers all practiced for the semester's final show of BYU-Idaho Center Stage. The dance will take place outside the David O. McKay Library.
“It’s a program that is really designed and built to be an outdoor program,” said Dale Hillier, a BYU-Idaho Center Stage coordinator.
Dancers worked six to seven hours every day to make sure the performance was up to their own high standards. Separated into groups of mermaids, pirates, the Lost Boys, and more, they worked these long hours on each individual part that make up the whole of the performance.
“Center Stage really has brought (in the past) such high-quality performances and we want people to know that BYU-Idaho is a place to go for top-quality entertainment,” said Amy Baldauf, another BYU-Idaho Center Stage coordinator.
PAN will only show tonight and tomorrow night at 8:00 p.m. at the McKay Library quad. Tickets are $10, they can be purchased online at the link below or at the entrance.

Flourish Point Inc. in Rexburg will be hosting a Pride event at porter park on Saturday, June 11th. The event is titled “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and will be a Luau, a style of party practiced by those in Hawaii and Greater Polynesia. The theme of this year’s event is “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” in reference to the song from Wizard of Oz. Specifically, the cover version was performed by Hawaiian musical artist IZ (Israel Kamakawiwoʻole). The cover combined “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” with another popular song “What a Wonderful World.”
“A lot of the lyrics in both of those songs have this message of hope and a happy present which is something we want to focus on. There’s a lot of like an air of doom and gloom in the LGBTQ+ community… we want to provide this message that hope, love, and happiness is available now,” said Brooks McFadden the marketing director of Flourish Point Inc.
The party will feature local musicians and entertainers like fire-knife dancers, as well as businesses and other supporting organizations.
“We have a few different local performers, Hazel Paul she is from Rexburg... we will have Blame The Deacon and Bradford Huntsmen. So most of it is going to be local groups,” McFadden said.
The event may be an event to celebrate LGBTQ+ members of the community and focus on the struggles and issues faced by LGBTQ+ people, but the event is for everybody, as a celebration of simply being yourself, McFadden said.
“Last year our theme was ‘celebrate unity’ and we wanted to keep it pretty simple and let people in Rexburg know that this is a non-threatening event. It is one to just come together and celebrate not just the unity but the fact that we can be together and that we can learn from each other's different experiences,” McFadden said.

Sometimes you need to pump the brakes and focus on finding contentment with what you have. That’s what the aesthetic of cottagecore is all about. Cottagecore is an aesthetic characterized as a romanticized version of old-fashioned rural living. Think of the village in the opening of Beauty and the Beast. It’s a comfy-cozy aesthetic that focuses on rustic handmade items and harkens back to a simpler time before industrialization took hold of the world. Back when people still lived in hand-crafted cottages.
“Cottagecore is kind of about contentment. You know the world is really fast, and the world is very much telling us, ‘You’ve got to have more, you need to be more, do more, faster, like you are not enough,’” said Beth Clark, a volunteer with NBC Historical Park. "Cottagecore is more about contentment saying, ‘You know what, I’ve got a good loaf of bread, I’ve got a cup of cocoa, I’ve got a book to read, I’ve got a candle, I have people that I love,’ and it’s more about slowing down and appreciating what you have around you.”
You could think of cottagecore as a mix of a renaissance fair with a “Little House on the Prairie” twist. Cottagecore, like renaissance fairs, also incorporates elements of fantasy through different subgenres.
“It’s super diverse as far as who is interested in it. You have dark cottagecore, you have subgenres like grandmacore, goblincore, and fairycore. It’s really all over the place,” said Liz Clark, Beth’s daughter who is also a major volunteer for the event.
The event will host short arts and crafts classes and even opportunities to get your photo taken in the cottagecore environment.
The event is this weekend, June 11. You can view the itinerary and purchase tickets for $8 here: https://nbchistoricalpark.com/booking/

The performers sent out a call for scores that matched with a theme of national parks, monuments, museums, nature preserves, or an influential event, work of literature, or person in recent history. The group received over 60 submissions and has already played 13 live, and wants to play more.
"I think we've done probably 12 or 13 of the pieces ... these will be world premieres when we play them, and these will finish up the original 13 that we chose and we looked back on what was submitted and thought, 'You know, there is real quality in what was submitted, so we are going to choose more,'” Shepherd said.
Tonight, four pieces will be played by the quartet.
"Three of them are from our call for scores so these are world premieres of new commissions," said Elizabeth Crawford clarinet specialist, and BYU-Idaho music professor.

A couple from Idaho Falls is putting together a gala dinner and variety show concert to raise money for Ukrainians in need.
The world has seen a lot of turmoil recently, and right now Ukraine has been at the center stage of conflict for the past few months. As refugees pour out of Ukraine some ask how they can help when so far removed from what’s happening in other parts of the world. That’s a question Mark Kerback asked himself when he saw how the ongoing conflict affected his wife Vera, who is from Ukraine.
“I woke up at 3 in the morning thinking what can I do to help her, her family, and friends in the homeland,” said Mark Kerback, the chairman of the Concert for Ukraine Committee.
Mark and Vera Kerback created Concert For Ukraine to host a Gala, dinner, and concert to raise money for Ukrainian people in need.
“It’s a true variety show. We have classical musicians, Natalia Lauck, who is a fabulous pianist from Pocatello and very well known in the area … we have the Idaho Falls String Trio that is going to be performing … we have a Ukrainian folk group that will be performing the folk music,” said Kerback.
The event is partnered with the charities Catholic Relief Services, Lifting Hands International, Doctors Without Borders, and The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees also known as UNHCR.
Tickets to the gala will be $100 per person with a business casual dress code. Tickets for the variety show concert will be $25 per person. If you would like to show your support and attend the variety show, but cannot make it in person, virtual tickets are available for $25 as well.

For the last three years, Idaho Falls has been without any sort of public transportation when the Targhee Regional Public Transportation Authority shut down in April 2019. With the help of $4.2 million in funding from the Federal Transit Administration, the city hired a transportation coordinator, created Greater Idaho Falls Transit or GIFT, and partnered with other contractors to create new public transportation that resembles something closer to Uber or Lyft than a typical bus or subway system.
“We will pick you up in the comfort of your home or wherever you are at in Idaho Falls and take you to your destination often in Idaho Falls,” said Kerry Hammon, a public information officer for the city of Idaho Falls.
The service is a point-to-point service, which allows for greater flexibility in where people can be picked up and dropped off. The service has been in development over the last couple of years. It utilizes an app that can be downloaded to your phone and used to call for a pickup.
“We’ve been working on this new GIFT for a couple of years now as a solution since we lost our public transportation a couple of years ago … and we finalized the contractors for this eight weeks ago,” Hammon said.
The service will begin giving rides to anywhere in the city for $3 per ride this Friday, but you can download the app right now by searching for GIFT On-Demand in the app store.
You can also learn more about the service by checking out the Greater Idaho Falls Transit website here.

During the summer months, children can lose up to a month of reading skills, and local libraries have a summer reading program designed to help, and not just for the children.
“It’s just an opportunity for us to reach out into the community and encourage everyone of all ages to read,” said Abby Reese, the outreach librarian for the Madison Library District. “Our big push is obviously kids. We really want to combat the summer slide where pretty much everything they have read throughout the school year moves its way on out and then they have to relearn that over the next school year.”
These reading programs are a tradition for libraries across Eastern Idaho and are even supported state-wide to help children retain what they have learned over the school year.
Programs often offer rewards for those who participate in an effort to keep people engaged in reading despite summer being a season where reading tends to be at the bottom of the priority list.
“You know, school gets out, and summer gets really busy, but we want to make sure that kids keep reading, and that also goes for our teens and we also don’t want the adults to feel left out of the fun so we have children’s programs, a teens program and an adults program,” said Trina Bonman, the associate director of the Marshall Public Library in Pocatello.
You or your children can sign up by visiting your local library or by checking out their websites.

The Book of Mormon can strengthen faith and improve your life, and Lane Williams shared that message in his BYU-Idaho devotional address.
"You know, when you are asked to speak in devotional, they ask you to think of something that matters and might matter to students,” Williams said in an interview with BYU-Idaho Radio. “And there are a lot of the reasons that The Book of Mormon, which is my topic, matters to me."
In his devotional address, Williams talked about his father's life and how he taught Williams the importance of The Book of Mormon. He said they would often go to the mountains and even Yellowstone to relieve stress and sometimes read from the scriptures.
“Under the gentle lights, we’d read the Book of Mormon. I don’t remember much of what we read, but I remember what I felt -- a quiet assurance of the truth of this book,” Williams said.
In the interview, Williams also mentioned how he has noticed a difference between students who read The Book of Mormon every day and those who do not.
"There is something amazing about people who read The Book of Mormon every day,” Williams said. “There is a confidence, lightness and brightness, dare I say it, there is an attractiveness about them. They are their best selves and seem happier."
Williams reflected upon President Russel M. Nelson of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' invitation to think of how The Book of Mormon has changed your life, and how different life would be without it.
"I actually kind of shudder to think where I would be without The Book of Mormon, those are the reasons why I picked my topic." Williams said.
In the devotional address, Williams gives a few ways to kickstart better reading and studying experiences with The Book of Mormon by picking a theme and taking notes on it. He shared the steps he took to better understand prayer.
First, he realized every Book of Mormon chapter has details about prayer, on average, he said, about 2 ½ times. Then he noticed that prayers are frequently described as “cries unto the Lord,” which denotes a real intent and deep emotion. After that, Williams saw that prayers to resist temptation were common, and finally described how he marveled at the realization that Jesus’ ministry in the Americas was framed by prayer more than any other action.
“I marveled because Jesus is the son of God. He can do basically anything to help these people, but he chose to pray for them – that’s how important and effectual prayer can be,” he said.

They can also be a resource to fellow park-goers through monthly educational courses that teach planting and trimming techniques and the history of the parks so volunteers can answer questions.
"We've opened up the programs for people to start adopting,” said Renee Buchan, the special event and volunteer coordinator for Idaho Falls Parks and Recreation Department.
“We have a GIS (geographic information system) mapping system that people can access from our website and that will show them different parks that are available for adoption.”
Those who volunteer as park stewards will be caretakers who work independently in an area of their favorite parks, while individuals or groups who adopt a park will be expected to help out at least one day a month by cleaning up trash and helping with specialized repairs.
