    Agencies like the Forest Service often use contract airplanes to drop fire retardant on wildfires. If resources fall short, though, a specialized team of military personnel can help.

    This year is shaping up to be another extreme fire season. So having this backup may be especially helpful. For the last few years, the Modular Airborne Firefighting Systems team has been in higher demand.

    Mountain West News Bureau reporter Madelyn Beck joins Idaho Matters to talk more about the MAFF'S program and what fire seasons look like for this crew.

    In 1961 President Kennedy issued the challenge of landing “a man on the moon.” Eight short years later, the Apollo 11 mission set three men on the lunar surface.

    However, before Neil Armstrong was able to take “one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind,” more than 400,000 men and women had to figure out how to make it happen.

    On Tuesday, a new exhibition at The Discovery Center is recognizing some of the people that took part in that effort.

    The Destination Moon: The Apollo 11 Mission exhibition features larger-than-life posters of the space program and space race. Alongside those posters are eight winning student art pieces from an accompanying art competition.

    Joining Idaho Matters to talk more about the exhibition is education director of The Discovery Center, Emily Mahon, and two of the winning artists from the competition, Leathan Li and Sienna Meuser.

    A new resource for Spanish-speaking voters was recently released. Contamos Idaho is a bilingual website that wants to make the voting process more accessible for Idaho’s Hispanic community.

    As Idaho grows, so do its Hispanic residents, who according to the 2020 U.S. Census makes up 13% of Idaho's population.

    Contamos Idaho hopes to take its first steps in breaking down barriers for Spanish-speaking Idahoans who will soon be turning in their ballots.

    Antonio Hernandez, the civic engagement coordinator of Conservation Voters for Idaho, joins Idaho Matters to talk more about Contamos Idaho.

    “Buy less and share more,” is the motto of the Buy Nothing Project. Their community has more than five million members, making it one of the largest gift economies in the world.

    So how does a gift economy work? Well, nothing in the community is sold, but rather given away for free, making everything from a grill to a gallon of milk equal value.

    The project operates within simple parameters: you can gift an item, ask for an item or show gratitude.

    Joining Idaho Matters to talk more about the project is Buy Nothing Co-founder Liesl Clark and Marnie De Bois, a local member of the Buy Nothing community.

    A new program hopes to breakdown barriers in the food market May 12, 2022

    Many of us are familiar with the phrase “from farm to table” and have dined at restaurants that source their food locally.

    However, have you ever stopped to consider how hard farmers have to work to get their food to that table?

    Well if you haven't, we’ll let you in on a little secret, it's often no easy feat. As a result, this means that farmers usually have to be very good at wearing many hats, from farming to business management they take on many roles. If that wasn’t already enough there can also be additional challenges such as language barriers and limited funds.

    One program hopes to make this process easier for some farmers though, Global Gardens and Fare Idaho are partnering to help connect restaurants and farmers from the refugee community.

    Joining Idaho Matters to talk more about this program are Global Garden’s Program Manager, Rabiou Manzo and Executive Director of Fare Idaho, Katie Baker.

    With Idaho's primary only five days away, it sure would be nice if there was a place where you could find out where to vote, if you’re registered to vote, who your candidates are and maybe a bio of each person running for office.

    It turns out there is such a place! The vote411.org website from the League of Women Voters of Idaho.

    Jean Henscheid, the legislative liaison for the league, joins Idaho Matters to talk more about the league's online voter guide.
