Taylor Crossing Unveils Largest Bronze Eagles
I enjoyed the (hopefully first annual?) Taylor Crossing Summer Days yesterday.
It was nice that they not only did an public art enveiling, they also had a full day’s free festivities for the public. My kid really enjoyed the blow-up castles and activity centers.
The girl that sang the star-spangled banner was one of the [...]
Above and beyond employee appreciation
I called our local Valley Glass a couple years ago to inquire when an order would arrive and be installed. I was surprised when the guy told me it could not be installed for two weeks because all the employees were going on a cruise the next week. I laughed and congratulated the guy for [...]
Kudos to Idaho Falls media in clearing reputation
It was nice to see two local news media, the Post Register and KIFI TV 8, prominently report that Idaho Falls airport director Mike Humberd was cleared of any wrongdoing in a sexual harrassment investigation. The investigation was widely reported when it first broke, but rarely do media follow up with findings of innocence, especially [...]
Seanelle Hanson shares lemonade
What an inspiration Seanelle Hanson is to our community! As the Post Register reported, her teen son Zakk drowned in our stretch of the Snake River last summer. Rather than lose herself in pity, she fundraised $50,000 for three county search and rescue teams. That is a lot of money! Apparently the rescuers searched for [...]
Peter Zuckerman wins national award for Scout’s Honor
Peter Zuckerman was reported to have won a prestigious $10,000 award for his Scout’s Honor story that stirred up so much angst in southeast Idaho. None other than the famous Charles Gibson (ABC News) presented the Livingston Award to Zuckerman, who is one of the youngest journalists to ever receive the award.
What are the Livingston [...]
Post Register profiles those who overcome adversity
I wanted to give kudos to our local Post Register for the local student stories they profile all year round, and especially at graduation time. Yesterday I admired how Bonneville senior Raul Carreno is graduating high school but couldn’t speak any English just two years ago. Today I admired how Idaho Falls senior Tony Jenkins [...]
Embers of local angst against Post Register still burn hot
Noticed today the Post Register vs. Boy Scouts vs. Kim Hansen vs. Frank Vandersloot is flaming up again. The full community page dominated on page A5, and Kathy Stanger tore into the Post Register on the next page Opinions. The Post Register was ripping on Kim Hansen still leading the local Scouts after questions were [...]
Why Idaho Falls needs Taylor Crossing
What separates New York City from Idaho Falls, Idaho? Besides 8 million people and a more balanced ethnic population, NYC has mixed-used urban development. This means that residential spaces are built next door to or on top of retail and office spaces.
Idaho Falls‘ downtown has failed and continues to fail due to the lack of [...]
KIDK Channel 3 Spotlights 911 Abusers
I’ve ripped on Channel 3 for some poor decisions they made before, so I thought I’d balance that with a kudos to them for their recent series on idiots who misuse our 911 system. Unfortunately, KIDK hasn’t caught up with the idea of putting your video content online yet.
I’ll make a harsh suggestion (along the [...]
Perverted-Justice.com Nabbed Idaho Falls Pervert
Here’s a heart-warming Valentine’s Day story. It involves an Idaho Falls guy who used his boss’ Internet connection to prey on underage girls for sex. Fortunately for our society, a proactive website exists that exposes these jerks. The site is perverted-justice.com, and they have even been featured on NBC’s Dateline for their effectiveness against sexual [...]
Craig Makes Post Office Experience Exceptional
There’s a guy who works the desk at the Eagle Rock Post Office named Craig who is awesome. He is always cheerful and joking around and works very quickly to help customers. Every time I have to stop in there I am impressed with his great attitude. Kudos to you, Craig.
