    Exploring the plants of Craters of the Moon Mar 18, 2024
    Show notes
    ( Dr. Lynn Kinter)

    What do you think of when you hear "Craters of the Moon National Monument?"

    Maybe a hot, rocky landscape. A gray, empty, volcanic area where nothing grows and plants can't survive.

    Well, it turns out a lot of plants can survive in this desert in Eastern Idaho, and Dr. Lynn Kinter knows firsthand. She's been studying plants for more than 35 years.

    Dr. Kinter is an adjunct graduate faculty member in the department of Biological Sciences at Boise State University, and she'll be talking about the Flora of the Craters of the Moon next Monday, March 25, at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. She joined Idaho Matters for a preview.

    For thousands of years, people have been catching rainwater and recycling it for a variety of different uses.

    Some supermarkets in England use it for flushing their toilets and others use it to recharge aquifers. Backyard gardeners use it water their plants, save money and the planet one drop at a time!

    This practice is called rainwater catchment and is often done from the roof of buildings.

    Nike Dryden, the owner and operator of Splitpea Edible Landscaping, will be covering this topic on March 26 at 6:00 pm at the Library! at Hillcrest and March 27 at the Library! at Brown Crossing, as part of the Ada Soil & Water Conservation District’s gardening workshops.

    She joined Idaho Matters along with Jessica Harold, the Districts Program Coordinator, to talk more.

Authorities say they've arrested Ryan Gaston, a man in a Cleveland suburb after seizing more than 900 fentanyl pills marked liked tablets of the less-potent opiate oxycodone. The Cuyahoga County medical examiner said that lookalike pills were likely to blame for some of the county's 19 fentanyl-related overdose deaths in January 2016.

    In just one year, more than 110,000 people died from drug poisoning, and fentanyl was a huge part of that number.

    Around the country, states like Idaho are holding Family Summits on Fentanyl. They bring together families who have lost someone due to either drug poisoning or drug overdose with first responders, law enforcement and grief counselors.

    Idaho's summit is set for Friday and will help family members who are trying to turn their loss into actions against drugs.

    Josh Hurwit, U.S. Attorney, joined Idaho Matters to tell us more.

    The Boise Downtown YMCA has been well loved, and now it's showing its age. Which is why it's been raising funds for the last two years so that a new state-of-the art multi-faceted community hub can be built to replace it.

    And just last week, the dream of bringing this new building to life took a giant leap forward with a $5 million donation, thanks to CapEd Credit Union.
