‘Deceived,’ Episode 1: Two children are missing and no one is talking
IDAHO FALLS — Nancy Jo Hancock, of Mesa, Ariz., could not believe what she was seeing and hearing. She had been watching an episode of “Dateline NBC” while folding laundry when she suddenly saw a picture of Charles Vallow, the man she had briefly dated six months earlier, appear on her TV screen. “And it’s the picture that he used on the dating site, so it’s a very familiar picture to me,” Hancock recalled. “I paused it, and I rewound it, and I listened, and I saw the date.” Now the show’s narrator was saying Vallow had been shot dead by his brother-in-law, Alex Cox — and it had happened the m...

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.

Kambell Richards quietly goes from cancer treatment to leading Century to best state golf finish ever
Kambell Richards couldn’t stop crying. One bad hole in the opening round of the 5A state golf tournament on Oct. 12 had opened the floodgates for the Century senior. When coach Mikel Green met up with her near the turn at The Links Golf Club in Post Falls, she walked alongside Richards and reminded her how far she had come. “She was just like, ‘But nobody else knows that,’” Green said. “And I was like, ‘No, nobody would. But you’re amazing.’” Few people did know. Just months earlier, Richards had been diagnosed with melanoma. She spent her summer in treatment, had surgery in August and missed the first month and a half of her final high school season. But none of that stopped her from finishing third and leading the Diamondbacks to a runner-up finish — the best in program history. “I didn’t know if she would be able to even come back,” said Green a cancer survivor herself. “I didn’t know if she’d be able to come back and be as strong as she was.” Richards was golfing with her family at Juniper Hills Country Club in the spring. While sizing up a shot, she rested her hand against

Idaho State researcher leads effort to solve mystery of bears on Alaska island
POCATELLO — A National Science Foundation grant is funding an Idaho State University-led project to find out how brown and polar bears reached a remote Alaskan island thousands of years ago. Katherine Reedy, interim dean of the College of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences and a professor of anthropology, is leading the archaeological project on Unalaska Island. Reedy and her team plan to solve the mystery of how the animals arrived there. “The project examines the finding of brown bear and polar bear remains in archaeological sites on Unalaska Island,” Reedy said. “This is a surprise because this is far outside (the bears’) range today and Unalaska is an ice-free island. The bears appear during two periods, about 5,500 years ago and again about 3,000 years ago, both of which were much colder than today and likely saw sea ice expanding into the islands.” The project also involves Courtney Hofman and Lilly Parker of the University of Oklahoma and Catherine West of Boston University. The researchers want to learn how past climate change affected the environment, animals and the Indigenous Unangax̂, also known as Aleut, people who lived there. The remains are the only known archaeological evidence of bears in

Every Animal Living At This Idaho Zoo Is A Species Found In The Wild Across The State
A grizzly bear named Shoni was once labeled a nuisance bear. Instead of a sad ending, she got a new home at a small zoo in eastern Idaho. That zoo has an unusual rule. Every animal living there is a species you could find in the wild somewhere across the state.
