Five days of razor clam digs begin Saturday

Five days of razor clam digs begin Saturday at Copalis and Mocrocks beaches. “Marine toxins continue to linger above the closure level for Long Beach and Twin Harbors, but thankfully the northern beaches of Copalis and Mocrocks remain low enough for harvest,” state Department of Fish and Wildlife coastal shellfish biologist Bryce Blumenthal said in a news release. “The first set of digs proved to be a challenge for those who made it out, and an increased swell forecast with less deep low tides will make digging even more difficult during this upcoming tide series.”

Idaho Falls police chief talks Flock cameras at chamber meeting

IDAHO FALLS — At the monthly Greater Idaho Falls Chamber of Commerce lunch Tuesday, Nov. 3, at the Westbank Convention Center, Idaho Falls Police Chief Bryce Johnson discussed the department’s newest tool: automated license plate readers, or ALPRs, better known as Flock cameras. An ALPR is a device that passively records the license plates of vehicles on a roadway. The Idaho Falls Police Department has placed 13 operational Flock cameras around the area. Their use has raised concerns about the cameras’ validity and legality. When asked whether the cameras are constitutional, Johnson said he has no doubts. “If I didn’t think they were constitutional, I would have never brought them to Idaho Falls,” Johnson said. “I’ve sworn an oath five times to defend the Constitution of the United States, they are absolutely constitutional.” Johnson said the cameras are used only on public roadways and intersections, where anyone with a recording device has the same opportunity to capture vehicles. “They take a picture, a snapshot of time in a place that there is no right to privacy. It’s on a public roadway,” Johnson said. “Anyone in here could go out there, take their phone, and record every car that goes through

ISU graduate and former Pebble Creek ski instructor publishes children’s book

SU graduate and former Pebble Creek ski instructor publishes children’s book POCATELLO — A former Pebble Creek ski instructor and Idaho State University graduate has published a book to inspire young children to have the confidence to learn to ski. Josh Kent, the author of the book titled “Send It Sally Goes Skiing,” said in emails to the Idaho State Journal that he graduated from ISU back in 2005. He worked as a ski instructor for Pebble Creek during his years in college. “Those days at The Rock inspired me to write ‘Send It Sally Goes Skiing,’” Kent said in the emails. “Send It Sally Goes Skiing” is a rhyming book for children ages 2 to 10. It follows its title character, Sally, and her friends as they have fun skiing on the mountain. “It’s all about courage, confidence and having fun on snow,” Kent said in the emails. “I wrote it to inspire my niece to rip after teaching her three older brothers to charge.” Since the book has been published, it has made its way to the shelves of many ski lodges, including Pebble Creek, where it is on display for parents who want to sign their children
