    This story was produced with assistance from the Public Media Journalists Association Editor Corps. It’s supported by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a private corporation funded by the American people.

    The City of Boise reports levels of the COVID-19 virus in its wastewater have risen steadily since early December. Between Dec. 1 and 27, the 14-day average of COVID levels rose about 65%.

    So, what’s this mean for the rest of cold, flu, and COVID season?

    Dr. David Pate, former CEO of St. Luke's Health System, joined Idaho Matters to give us a few tips on how to stay safe, as well as the latest information on RSV, COVID-19 and the flu.

    As the fight over Idaho's abortion ban continues in and outside of the courts, a small group of people became concerned that the use of contraceptives may have gotten pulled into the political fight.

    They believe contraceptives are essential to reducing unplanned pregnancies and want to find a way to expand access to birth control and educate Idahoans on why they’re important. So, they’ve formed the nonprofit “Idaho Contraceptive Education Network.”

    Board members Kelley Packer and Laurie Likeley, both former Idaho representatives, joined Idaho Matters to explain the rationale behind the Network.

    Treasure Valley inversions may be bad, but Utah has it worse Jan 02, 2024

    The National Weather Service in Boise says the inversion plaguing the Treasure Valley will last through Wednesday … when rain and snow and colder weather will push it out.

    It isn’t the first inversion the Valley has suffered this winter and it won’t be the last. And since misery loves company we thought you might be interested to hear that Utah has the same problem.

    The Salt Lake Valley’s West Side is home to over 350,000 people. It's also home to major highways, an international airport, warehouses and other sources of pollution. Those industries – and decisions made more than a century ago – contribute to the nasty air West Side residents breathe.

    KUNR’s Saige Miller explains the impact of that pollution for the Mountain West News Bureau.

    There’s been an increase in hydropower projects across the U.S., including on different tribal reservations. But some advocates say tribes like the Navajo nation aren’t being consulted enough about their development.

    As Chris Clements of KSJD reports, that includes a recent proposal for three new projects in northeastern Arizona.

    If you received a record player or some new LPs for the holidays, you’re not alone. The Recording Industry Association of America announced earlier this year that vinyl records outsold CDs in 2022 for the first time in 35 years (since 1987), with some reports saying vinyl sales are up more than 21 percent for the first half of 2023.

    Sofia Blenkinsop takes us through what Boise locals in the music industry think about the steady return of vinyl.
