    As summer approaches and we all start to make plans for our favorite outdoor activities, there’s one more thing we should be preparing for and that's wildfires.

    Protecting your health through the smoky months can be a lifesaver and that's why each year the Northwest Air Quality Communicators Group hosts a Smoke Ready Week during June.

    This week will feature a new theme everyday, specific to smoke to help people prepare as they start to spend more time outside. Joining Idaho Matters to talk more about Smoke Ready Week is Assistant Professor Luke Montrose from the School of Public and Population Health at Boise State University.

    Idaho Fish and Game reports six bats have been found with a nasty fungus in a cave in the eastern part of the state.

    The fungus can lead to White-nose syndrome, a deadly disease that has killed millions of bats in North America over the last 16 years.

    This is the first time the fungus has been found in Idaho, though it has been found in Washington, Montana and Wyoming.

    Dr. Rita Dixon, Idaho Fish and Game Wildlife Action Plan Coordinator, says she’s concerned but not surprised that the fungus has made it to the Gem State.

    She joined Idaho Matters to talk more about the fungus and how people can help to stop the spread.

    There is one thing that everyone has in common, we’re all going to die sometime.

    The other thing that most of us have in common is that it’s not a comfortable topic to talk about.

    Death Cafes were invented to help people talk about all the aspects of death. It's a gathering of people, usually strangers, who drink a cup of tea, eat a piece of cake and bring up anything about death that they would like to talk about.

    Death Cafes have been around since 2011 and have been in Boise for nine years.

    The next Boise Death Cafe is set for tomorrow at Dry Creek Cemetery. Organizer Amy Pence-Brown joined Idaho Matters to tell us more about the upcoming event.

    Idaho welcomes Ukrainian refugees Jun 09, 2022

    Nampa's new Ukrainian Welcome Center
    ( Idaho Statesman)

    According to the Idaho Alliance for Ukrainian Immigrants and Refugees Idaho is now home to nearly 200 Ukrainians who have been displaced by the war.

    Despite this new safety many families do not have access to resources normally offered to refugees. This has significantly limited the help they are able to receive for things like transportation, housing and education.

    However, a new center recently opened with the goal to fill this gap. The ‘Ukrainian Welcome Center’ is currently working to provide assistance with documentation, food, clothing and other necessities.

    Joining Idaho Matters to talk more about the center is the Director of Outreach for Idaho Alliance for Ukrainian Immigrants and Refugees, Dr. Tina Polishchuk and Sydney Kidd, who originally reported on this story from the Idaho Press.
