Plant a Row for the Hungry
Apparently there is a national campaign for folks to plant extra garden rows of fresh produce and donate the extra food to the local food banks and homeless shelters. Fresh produce is a premium item, difficult to afford on a fixed budget, and donations of such are very welcome. It’s not something that […]

Forty one teachers were honored and received cash rewards from $500.00 to $4,000.00 for going above and beyond and […]
Three Steps to End Our War on Drugs
I am surprised nobody has yet written an article at IdahoFallz.com about America’s decades-old War on Drugs. I read many comments where site users express their desire to read and discuss the Drug War. I personally waited to write about it because people who bring up the topic tend to be quickly smeared as “another […]
How you can help solve the 1996 Angie Dodge murder
We are going to solve Idaho Falls’ 1996 Angie Raye Dodge murder. This is an extremely ambitious goal, but solving this murder is vital for a local family to get closure, for our community to finally know what happened, and possibly to expose official misdeeds at that time. The stakes are high to solve the […]

Eisenhower, boxer Rocky Marciano, Judy Garland, Jack Kerouac, and Boris Karloff all died, the US population hit 200 million, the Saturday Evening Post published for the last time, the Boeing 747 made its first commercial flight, at least 28 […]
Will Concealed Weapons or Media Reform Make College Campuses Safer?
Yesterday our nation experienced yet another tragic school shooting. We can now add Northern Illinois University to the roster with Virginia Tech, Shepherd University, University of Arizona, Appalachian School of Law, University of Arkansas, San Diego State, University of Iowa, and the University of Texas. How can America or Idaho protect ourselves against future school […]
Is Sergeant Evan Vela Guilty or Innocent?
Most folks have probably heard of the St. Anthony/Rigby soldier Sergeant Evan Vela, who is being held in Kuwait on premeditated murder charges. He has been held since last June, and is scheduled for trial in Baghdad on February 8. He is also accused of premeditated murder, planting evidence on the bodies, obstruction of justice, […]
Handicapped Parking Permit Reforms Needed
Is everything kosher with the handicapped parking system?
I never park in the handicapped-marked spaces, even if I have to park in the north forty. I’ve had disabled friends and could not imagine taking their close spot so my healthy legs could save a mere minute of walking.
However, we see people all the time who do […]
The Idaho Falls Grinch Who Stole Christmas Power
Kudos to the Post Register’s Marty Trillhaase who wrote an opinion piece yesterday pointing out how Idaho Falls city power is shutting off peoples’ power for being late on their bills, despite this being the coldest winter months and despite children, disabled, and elderly folks being in some of those homes.
How do they get away […]
The Flap Over The Flag
Here is a story that makes your blood boil on Veterans Day!!!
Recently, the Department of Veterans Affairs opted out of the tradition of reciting the significance of each fold in the flag-folding ceremony at military funerals.
The recitations accompanying each fold pay tribute to the service and sacrifice of our veterans and their families, and the […]
Idaho Falls Technology Users Group Proposed
I was recently listening to Leo Laporte’s podcast of his weekly radio show “The Tech Guy”. One caller was a lady dipping her toes into computers. She enrolled in a Microsoft Office class, and wanted advice buying her first computer. Leo immediately observed her “newby-ness”, and suggested she should first spend some time with a […]
