๐ TWIN FALLS SHOOTING
TWIN FALLS MAN ARRESTED AFTER SHOOTING LEAVES ONE INJURED
A Twin Falls man is facing multiple felony charges following a shooting Sunday morning that sent one person to the hospital.
Twin Falls Police say officers responded to reports of shots fired in the 400 block of Third Avenue East just before 8 o’clock Sunday morning.
When officers arrived, they found an adult man suffering from a gunshot wound. Police provided emergency medical aid until Magic Valley Paramedics arrived and transported him to a local hospital.
Officers detained 36-year-old Eddie Gomez at the residence. He was later arrested on 10 felony counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm, along with a misdemeanor charge involving the careless discharge of a firearm that injured another person.
Police say the investigation is ongoing, and additional charges are possible.
The victim’s condition has not been released.
โ๏ธ BOISE SHOOTING CASE
BOISE MAN HELD ON $1 MILLION BOND AFTER TEEN SHOT DURING DOORBELL PRANK
A Boise man accused of shooting a 15-year-old boy during a doorbell prank is now being held on a million-dollar bond.
45-year-old Darin Young appeared in Ada County court Monday, facing an aggravated battery charge stemming from Saturday’s shooting.
Prosecutors say a group of teenagers had been playing ding-dong-ditch at Young’s home when he armed himself with a handgun, went outside and hid in some bushes.
Investigators say Young then chased one of the teenagers toward a vehicle and fired his weapon, striking the 15-year-old.
The boy suffered a shattered pelvis and underwent surgery. He’s now recovering at home.
Prosecutors say Young initially failed to mention the gun to police, but later admitted firing it, calling the shooting unintentional.
The defense argued Young has no criminal history and requested a 50-thousand-dollar bond.
The judge instead set bond at one million dollars and issued a no-contact order protecting all three teenagers involved.
Young’s next court appearance is scheduled for November 23rd.
๐ช PERRINE BRIDGE RESCUE
BASE JUMPER INJURED NEAR PERRINE BRIDGE AFTER PARACHUTE TROUBLE
A BASE jumping accident at the Perrine Bridge yesterday afternoon sent emergency crews scrambling into the Snake River Canyon to rescue an injured jumper.
The call came in around 2:15 after a BASE jumper reportedly lost control of his parachute and crashed along the Jerome County side of the canyon.
A witness told the Times-News the jumper appeared to struggle with wind currents, twisting and turning before heading toward the cliffside.
Twin Falls Fire Battalion Chief Joe Miller says a second BASE jumper jumped into the canyon to help the injured man.
Crews from the Twin Falls Fire Department, Magic Valley Paramedics and the Special Operations Rescue Team responded to the scene.
Miller confirmed the injured jumper was conscious and breathing when rescuers reached him.
The extent of his injuries has not been released, and the second jumper was not injured.
A witness says the group had been practicing a Base-jumping scenario drill when the accident happened.
๐ฎ JEROME GIRL IDENTIFIED
JEROME COMMUNITY HELPS POLICE IDENTIFY YOUNG GIRL IN JUST SIX MINUTES
It took just six minutes for the Jerome community to come together and help police identify a little girl found alone early yesterday morning!
According to a Facebook post from the Jerome Police Department, officers responded around 5:37 yesterday morning after a young girl was spotted trying to cross Main Street near North Fillmore.
When officers arrived, the little girl was cold, crying and frightened. She was unable to tell police where she lived or how to contact her parents.
That’s when the department turned to Facebook, posting her picture and asking the community for help.
And within just SIX MINUTES, the girl had been identified, and her parents had been notified!
Police quickly removed the picture and thanked residents for stepping up to help.
The department says it’s another example of why they value their relationship with the Jerome community.
Police also indicated that appropriate follow-up would be conducted to determine how the situation happened.

๐ง I-84 TRAFFIC SHIFTS
TRAFFIC SHIFTS COMING TO I-84 AT TWIN FALLS INTERCHANGE THIS WEEKEND
Drivers heading through the Twin Falls Interchange on Interstate 84 will notice some big changes this weekend as crews prepare to open new lanes!
The Idaho Transportation Department says eastbound traffic near Exit 173 will shift Friday night between 8 p.m. and 6 Saturday morning.
Westbound traffic will shift Saturday night during those same hours.
The westbound loop on-ramp will also be closed Saturday night, but drivers can use the interchange’s other westbound on-ramp.
Once the work is complete, I-84 will have three lanes in each direction west of the interchange and two lanes in each direction to the east.
The project began in 2023 to improve safety and traffic flow.
Drivers can expect occasional lane closures through late November as crews wrap things up.
The work is weather-dependent, and motorists are encouraged to allow extra travel time and check Idaho 511 for updates.
๐ I-15 CRASH
SIX-VEHICLE CRASH ON I-15 IN BANNOCK COUNTY SENDS TWO TO HOSPITAL
A chain-reaction crash involving six vehicles on Interstate 15 in Bannock County sent two people to the hospital Monday evening.
Idaho State Police say the crash happened around 5:20 near mile marker 78 in the northbound lanes.
Investigators say a GMC Acadia driven by a 46-year-old woman from Blackfoot collided with a Jeep Grand Cherokee, triggering a chain reaction involving four other vehicles.
The crash also involved a Volkswagen Passat, Ford Expedition, Nissan Rogue and Subaru Outback.
The driver of the Nissan Rogue and a juvenile passenger in the Ford Expedition were transported by ambulance to a local hospital.
Their conditions have not been released.
Most of the drivers involved were from Blackfoot, with one from Idaho Falls.
Idaho State Police are continuing their investigation into the crash.
โฝ IDAHO GAS PRICES
IDAHO GAS PRICES DROP 20 CENTS IN ONE WEEK AS THANKSGIVING TRAVEL APPROACHES
Some welcome relief for Idaho drivers, as gas prices continue to fall across the Gem State!
According to AAA, Idaho’s average price for regular gasoline dropped another 20 cents over the past week, bringing the statewide average down to $4.32 a gallon.
That’s 59 cents cheaper than a month ago, although prices are still about a dollar higher than this time last year.
Here in Twin Falls, drivers are paying an average of $4.32 a gallon, while Boise is averaging $4.46.
AAA Idaho spokesman Matthew Conde says prices have now fallen for three straight weeks, with the savings finally starting to add up for Idaho families.
Nationally, gas prices have dropped to around four dollars a gallon, although Idaho still ranks tenth in the country for the most expensive fuel.
And with Thanksgiving just around the corner, AAA says falling crude oil prices could bring even more relief for families planning holiday road trips.
๐ณ๏ธ Elections and Government
๐ณ๏ธ LATAH COUNTY RECOUNT
LATAH COUNTY ORDERS FULL ELECTION RECOUNT AFTER MORE THAN 2,300 BALLOTS GO UNREPORTED
A major election reporting error in North Idaho has prompted a full recount of ballots from last week’s general election.
State election officials say more than 2,300 ballots in Latah County were counted by voting machines but never included in the publicly reported election results.
The mistake involved 2,342 early-voting ballots and was discovered during a routine review by the county clerk’s office.
Idaho Secretary of State Phil McGrane calls the discrepancy significant and says every voter deserves confidence that their ballot was properly counted.
The missing votes could affect several closely contested races, including legislative and county commission seats, although an initial review suggests the outcomes won’t change.
A full recount gets underway this morning at 10:30 Mountain Time at the Latah County Courthouse in Moscow. The process is open to the public.
State officials say the problem appears to be a reporting error, rather than an issue with the actual counting of ballots.
Election results remain unofficial until they’re certified later this month.
๐๏ธ IDAHO ELECTION RESULTS
IDAHO DEMOCRATS GAIN GROUND, BUT REPUBLICANS MAINTAIN STRONG CONTROL AFTER ELECTION
Democrats made gains across the country in last week’s election, but here in Idaho, Republicans maintained their firm grip on state government.
According to an analysis by the Idaho Capital Sun, Democrats picked up six seats in the Idaho Legislature, increasing their representation from 15 to 21 members. But Republicans still hold a supermajority in both chambers.
Democratic candidates also improved their vote totals in statewide and congressional races, gaining an average of six percentage points compared to previous elections.
The closest congressional contest involved Republican Congressman Mike Simpson, who defeated Democrat Ellie Gilbreath by roughly 11 percentage points.
Idaho Democratic Party Chair Lauren Necochea says the results show growing support for Democrats, while Republican Party Chairwoman Dorothy Moon says voters rejected the national Democratic wave.
Republicans retained every statewide office and congressional seat.
And while Democrats made some progress, Idaho hasn’t elected a Democrat to statewide office since 2002.
Election results remain unofficial until certification November 24th.
๐๏ธ TWIN FALLS COUNCIL PICKS
TWIN FALLS MAYOR NAMES TWO PICKS FOR VACANT CITY COUNCIL SEATS
Twin Falls could soon have two new City Council members, as Mayor Jason Brown has announced his choices to fill two vacant seats.
During last night’s council meeting, Brown recommended Lucy Wills and Kelly Hergesell to replace Grayson Stone and Cherie Vollmer, who are leaving the council to serve in the Idaho Legislature.
Brown called the selection process extremely difficult, saying there were several qualified candidates.
Wills is a longtime school district employee with extensive involvement in local boards and community organizations.
Hergesell is a lifelong Magic Valley resident with a background in human resources. She says her experience working with people will be valuable on the council.
Both women say they’re excited about the opportunity and plan to run for election in November of 2027.
But the appointments aren’t official just yet.
The City Council must first vote to confirm the mayor’s recommendations, with that decision expected at next Monday’s meeting, November 16th.
๐ IDAHO BUDGET COMMITTEE
IDAHO BUDGET COMMITTEE MEETS AHEAD OF 2027 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Idaho lawmakers are getting an early start on the state’s next budget, with three days of meetings underway in North Idaho.
The Legislature’s Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee, known as JFAC, is meeting in Moscow and Lewiston this week to prepare for the 2027 legislative session.
The 20-member committee is responsible for writing the budgets for Idaho’s state agencies and departments.
This week’s agenda includes discussions on health and welfare spending, wildfire suppression costs and new correctional facilities, along with tours of state institutions.
The meetings come after lawmakers approved budget reductions for most state agencies, including five-percent cuts in the current fiscal year’s budget.
There will also be some new faces on the committee next year. Five members are leaving, including Twin Falls Republican Senator Glenneda Zuiderveld.
Legislative leaders will appoint their replacements in December.
The Idaho Legislature returns to Boise January 11th, when lawmakers will begin work on the state’s next budget.

๐ซ KIMBERLY SCHOOL FUNDING
KIMBERLY SCHOOL DISTRICT SEEKS COMMUNITY INPUT AFTER FAILED BOND AND LEVY
The Kimberly School District is going back to the drawing board after voters rejected two school funding measures earlier this year.
District leaders are now holding a series of community meetings to hear directly from residents about the district’s needs and what taxpayers are willing to support.
Superintendent Luke Schroeder says both a school bond and a plant facilities levy failed in May, prompting the district to take a different approach.
The smaller focus-group meetings give residents a chance to ask questions about school funding, facility needs and how district money is spent.
Schroeder says the discussions have been open and honest, with communication and transparency emerging as major priorities.
The district plans to present community feedback to the school board in January.
Trustees are expected to decide in February whether to pursue another levy proposal for the May election.
More community meetings are planned, with details available on the Kimberly School District’s website.
๐ฅ RURAL HEALTHCARE FUNDING
IDAHO AWARDED NEARLY $183 MILLION FOR RURAL HEALTHCARE, BUT FUNDING DROPS FROM LAST YEAR
Idaho is getting another major investment in rural healthcare, but the latest round of federal funding is slightly smaller than last year’s.
Federal officials announced Monday that Idaho will receive nearly 183 million dollars in the second year of the Rural Health Transformation Program.
That’s down about 3.3 million dollars from the nearly 186 million awarded during the first year.
The money is intended to improve healthcare access in rural communities, including hospital upgrades, emergency medical equipment, mobile clinics and efforts to recruit and retain healthcare workers.
Governor Brad Little says families in rural Idaho often face challenges getting medical care because of distance and limited resources.
State officials say they haven’t received an explanation for the reduction in funding.
The five-year federal program provides 50 billion dollars nationwide, although it comes as separate federal Medicaid spending cuts are also scheduled to begin taking effect next year.
Idaho’s second-year award ranks 40th among the 50 states.
๐ฐ GLENNS FERRY WATER BILL
GLENNS FERRY WOMAN SHOCKED BY $21,000 WATER BILL AFTER CITY SOFTWARE ERROR
Imagine opening your monthly water bill and finding out you owe more than 21-thousand dollars!
That’s exactly what happened to a Glenns Ferry woman who normally pays less than a hundred dollars a month.
Chelsea Inmon says her October bill showed she owed $21,703, claiming her household had used more than nine MILLION gallons of water in less than a month!
After checking for leaks and finding nothing, Inmon contacted the city, which eventually determined the bill was wrong.
Her corrected balance? Just 88 dollars and 47 cents.
Glenns Ferry Mayor Susan Case says a software problem caused the billing errors, affecting 11 customers.
The city says it’s working with the software company to resolve the issue before the next billing cycle.
But Inmon says she wants more transparency and assurances that similar mistakes won’t happen again.
Residents who believe their water bill is incorrect are encouraged to contact Glenns Ferry City Hall.
๐ป FISH AND GAME WEBSITE
IDAHO FISH AND GAME WEBSITE BACK ONLINE AFTER THREE-WEEK CYBERSECURITY SHUTDOWN
Good news for Idaho hunters and anglers! The Idaho Fish and Game website is back up and running after being offline for nearly three weeks.
The department took its website down October 22nd after identifying a potential cybersecurity vulnerability affecting government computer systems.
Officials say the shutdown was a precautionary measure and NOT the result of a data breach.
During the closure, the department replaced its regular website with a temporary page while crews worked to address security concerns.
The issue was connected to broader software vulnerabilities affecting systems around the world, prompting Idaho agencies to strengthen their online security.
Fish and Game officials say the goal was to make sure the website remained safe, stable and reliable for the public.
Hunters, anglers and outdoor enthusiasts can once again access the department’s regular online resources at I-D-F-G dot Idaho dot gov.

๐ IDAHO STATE AT MONTANA
NO. 21 IDAHO STATE PREPARES FOR TOP-25 SHOWDOWN WITH NO. 12 MONTANA
A big Top-25 matchup is coming up Saturday night in the Big Sky Conference, as 21st-ranked Idaho State hits the road to take on number 12 Montana!
The Bengals are looking to bounce back after a heartbreaking 28-26 triple-overtime loss to third-ranked Montana State last weekend.
Idaho State actually outgained the Bobcats 410 to 332, while kicker Mason Lindberg connected on four field goals, tying the school’s single-season record with 20.
Now the Bengals face a Montana team that’s won two straight and is averaging more than 40 points per game.
The Grizzlies have dominated this rivalry, winning the last 16 meetings. Idaho State hasn’t beaten Montana since 2003, and hasn’t won in Missoula since 1983.
But the Bengals bring one of the Big Sky’s best pass defenses into the matchup, allowing fewer than 192 passing yards per game.
Kickoff Saturday night is set for 8:30 Mountain Time, with national television coverage on ESPN2.

CALDWELL NIGHT RODEO EARNS SECOND MAJOR HONOR IN TWO MONTHS
The Caldwell Night Rodeo is celebrating another big win, and this time, the recognition comes directly from the cowboys and cowgirls who compete!
The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association’s Wilderness Circuit has named Caldwell Idaho’s Large Outdoor Rodeo of the Year.
The award was presented Saturday in Heber City, Utah, and is voted on by rodeo competitors who judge everything from arena conditions and livestock quality to hospitality and how athletes are treated.

Celebrating its 102nd year, this year’s Caldwell Night Rodeo attracted more than 50-thousand fans and 700 competitors over five nights.
