I'm an Idaho OB/GYN. I oppose Proposition 1, and I'm not alone
For 35 years, I have had the privilege of caring for women and their pregnancies in Pocatello, Idaho. I am a Christian, a political conservative, and an obstetrician-gynecologist who believes deeply in the value of both a mother and her unborn child. I have dedicated my professional life to caring for both, often during the most difficult and vulnerable moments of their lives.

New community walking opportunity at the MEC begins Monday
As the cold and winter months approach, the Pocatello community needed a new place to walk. After Pine Ridge Mall closed to the public for renovations, many residents lost their usual walking spot, and the Mountain View Event Center, or MEC, wants to change that. Starting Monday, Nov. 2, the MEC, located at 1567 Way to Grace Ave., will host Walk in the ICCU Fieldhouse from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. Monday through Friday. There is no daily fee. The only cost is a $25 annual fee. “Now that we’ve got the expanded ICCU Fieldhouse, we thought the morning time would work great,” MEC executive director Shelton Robinson said. “We’ll be able to have a dedicated space for the walking. It’s something we’ve thought about for a long time, and now we have that extra space to provide that for our community.” The program is intended primarily for the colder months, though MEC may continue it into warmer weather if demand remains. Walking may be unavailable on some Fridays because of larger events at the facility, and MEC said it will publicize any schedule changes.
