    Last spring, Idaho Matters told you about a teacher shortage in Idaho, one that had educators worried about the upcoming fall semester when kids of all ages would head back to school.

    The school year for the Boise School District has started and we wanted to check back in with Idaho Education News, which first reported on this story.

    Kevin Richert, Senior Reporter and Blogger at Idaho Education News joined Idaho Matters to tell us more.

    Has your child ever had their soccer game canceled because it was too smoky outside to play?

    Well, that's exactly what happened to Dr. Ethan Sims' family. Dr. Sims, an ER doctor at St. Luke’s and the head of Idaho Clinicians for Climate and Health, is partnering with the Health System to host a new lecture series looking at climate and health. The second installment, Wildfire Smoke and Human Health is set for Wednesday.

    Our Morning Edition host George Prentice sat down with Dr. Sims and Stephanie Wicks, the Manager for Sustainability and Environment Compliance for St Luke's Health System to talk more about the upcoming event.

    On a cold morning, a fish biologist puts on a helmet, steps into a helicopter and starts flying along the middle fork of the Salmon River. She looks out the window and starts counting the spots where Chinook salmon are spawning.

    That biologist is Carli Baum and she works for Idaho Fish and Game. She wrote the story of how she counts fish nests from the air in a recent article that helps people better understand how the folks at the department do their job every day.

    Carli joined Idaho Matters to tell us more.

    Idaho Supreme Court won’t stop abortion laws while lawsuits continue Aug 15, 2022

    (AP)

    Late Friday afternoon, the Idaho Supreme Court said it would not stop Idaho’s abortion trigger law from going into effect on August 25.

    The Idaho Supreme Court also said that it was lifting a stay on another Idaho law that allows relatives to sue a doctor after an abortion.

    That means the laws can be enforced while justices hear three lawsuits brought by Planned Parenthood.

    The latest move played out on Friday while a fourth lawsuit, this one brought by the Biden Administration against Idaho’s abortion restrictions, continues.

    Idaho Matters asked Boise State Public Radio News reporter James Dawson back to break down the latest news on all four lawsuits.

    Hate is making a comeback in Idaho, this time with political support. That’s the latest word from Heath Druzin, the host and creator of the Extremely American podcast.

    He covers far-right movements and he’s been looking at a series of recent events that have some people worried that Idaho’s history of hate may be repeating itself.

    Druzin joined Idaho Matters to talk about some of those events, including arrests in north Idaho and swastikas at Boise’s Anne Frank memorial, and what the intersection of hate and politics could mean for the Gem State.

    Last week, Idaho Matters took a look at a program that's helping to reduce pesticides in Boise city parks. We talked a little about dandelions and how they're not as evil as people might think, especially since they're native to the area ... or so we thought.

    Not so long after the interview Idaho's Plant Doctor, Sierra Laverty put together a video that shared some very important facts about the plant.

    She, along with Daniel Murphy, the founder of Awkward Botany joined Idaho Matters to tell us more.
