When Snow Arrives, 7 Idaho Areas Open Groomed Trails For Cross-Country Skiing

Near Pocatello, one Nordic center grooms its ski trails seven days a week. Seven!. I love that someone heads out with a groomer before most of us find our coffee. That kind of care shows up across Idaho once the snow sticks. One state park gives skiers a warming yurt in the middle of the trail system.

About 40 to 50 locals from Pocatello to Rexburg made a fantasy film. It premieres Friday

IDAHO FALLS — For movie director Lance Witmer, making movies has always been the dream. He began writing and telling stories as a fourth grader, and he knew he was destined to be a storyteller. Now, his dream is coming to Idaho Falls. The feature film “Tales of Ardenmore” will screen at the Paramount Triplex Theater, kicking off with a public red carpet premiere on Oct. 30. Additional showings will be held Nov. 2-4, all at 6 p.m. “This is something that we made entirely in Idaho Falls and the Southeast Idaho region,” Witmer said. “It’s a collaborative effort of close to 40 or 50 people across the board from Pocatello, Idaho Falls, Rigby, Rexburg, that whole corridor all coming together to try to make this very ambitious medieval fantasy possible.” After graduating from film school in Los Angeles, Witmer and his family moved to Idaho Falls, where he has been working to make his dream a reality. He wrote, shot, directed and edited the film, which is now just days away from its debut. The movie follows Frederick, a squire, and Annika, a peasant girl, as they try to rescue Frederick’s brother, Henry, from an undead sorcerer called the

Grease fire at Oliver’s Restaurant contained to grill after hood suppression system fails

POCATELLO — A grill fire at Oliver’s Restaurant on Monday morning was quickly put out with no injuries, but the fire suppression system in the ventilation hood above the grill failed to deploy, according to the Pocatello Fire Department. Crews responded to the restaurant at 130 S. Fifth Ave. after the fire was reported at 7:12 a.m. The fire was contained to the grill, department spokesperson Kim Stouse said. Stouse said the fire was related to a buildup of grease. Restaurant staff tried to put it out with an extinguisher after the hood’s suppression system didn’t trigger, she said. A fire crew arrived within minutes and put out the fire, using a Class K fire extinguisher designed for cooking oil and grease fires. Stouse said the tags on the hood system were up to date and the inspection records were current, but the system still failed to deploy. Hood suppression systems are typically triggered by a fusible link, a metal link made with solder that melts at a set temperature. When the link separates, it releases a cable that trips the system’s control head, which discharges a fire-suppressing agent over the cooking appliances and shuts off the fuel or gas
