Good morning, Pocatello.

Starting November 3, Marshall Public Library is hosting its annual Food for Fines drive—each donated non-perishable food item forgives $1 in overdue fines to benefit The Idaho Foodbank.

The program accepts items like canned fruits, vegetables, and boxed meals until December 13, though it does not cover replacement fees.

With winter fast approaching, Valley Mission works to replace Pocatello’s only overnight warming center after The Refuge closed at the historic church on 309 North Garfield Avenue.

The nonprofit is calling on trained volunteers—who must complete required training—to help run the center and keep people safe from the cold.

Pocatello High School will host Haunted Evenings from Oct.

27 to 29 as students—who have prepared spooky stories—invite area residents to a series of eerie presentations.

CheapInsurance.com used Gas Buddy data from October 23 to compile a list of the cheapest gas stations in Pocatello—showing Costco at $3.22 per gallon leading the list followed by Chevron and several Maverik locations with prices from $3.25 to $3.34.

This guide helps drivers find lower fuel costs in the local area.

The Idaho State Journal asked Pocatello and Chubbuck school board candidates about their backgrounds and platforms as they prepare for the Nov.

4 election. Their answers will help local voters decide in the upcoming contest.

A newly repurposed recycling facility in Pocatello is cutting overhead expenses for taxpayers while making the city greener—efforts aimed at reducing waste and saving money for local government.

Today, a Pocatello nature preserve is using about three dozen billy goats to fight invasive cheatgrass—these goats are switching from sweet grass to cheatgrass to help control its spread.

Officials removed a large female moose from a Chubbuck backyard on Whitaker Road (south of Vern Road and west of Hiline Road) Wednesday morning after tranquilizing it with help from Idaho Fish and Game and City Animal Control.

It was then released to a remote habitat to keep people and vehicles safe, marking the second such relocation from a southeast Idaho neighborhood in less than two weeks.

Next week, the Pocatello Fire Department will hold a push-in ceremony at 5:15 p.m. on October 29th at Fire Station 1 to welcome its new aerial ladder truck, Truck 1.

Fire Chief Ryan O’Hearn said the truck is a major investment in public safety — and city officials will give brief remarks as community members tour the station.

At Middleton High School on Thursday, the Pocatello Thunder beat the Twin Falls Bruins 2-0 in the girls soccer state tournament with goalie Madysen Torngren making 21 saves and the defense holding off over 20 shots on goal.

The underdog team will face six-seeded Vallivue Falcon today — it hopes to keep its title run alive.
