    Some people love some buildings. But a lot of people are a lot more passionate about familiar buildings, particularly iconic buildings that are centerpieces of classic films.

    Author Christine Madrid French says, whether it’s the Bates mansion from Hitchcock’s Psycho or the Preston, Idaho, high school in Napoleon Dynamite, people are much more inclined to preserve the buildings of our dreams and ... nightmares.

    French is the author of "The Architecture of Suspense: The Built World in Films of Alfred Hitchcock’" and she's the special guest of Preservation Idaho Saturday for an event they’re calling “Architecture of Suspense.”

    Congress passed the "CHIPS Plus Act” last year to provide subsidies to American computer chipmakers in an effort to bring more chip manufacturing back to the United States.

    BoiseDev.com reported Micron Technology would build a $15 billion dollar manufacturing plant in Boise. The plant will make chips for everything from computers to cell phones, and Micron’s president says it will create 2,000 new jobs.

    So once the plant is complete who will fill those jobs? In May, Boise State University’s president said the university was now part of the “UPWARDS Network” that will help train new workers in the semiconductor industry.

    And this month, the College of Western Idaho announced it received a new grant to expand the school's advanced mechatronics engineering technology program, which will train technicians for Micron’s new facility.

    CWI president Gordon Jones joined Idaho Matters to tell us more.

    Educating people about dog diabetes Nov 09, 2023

    World Diabetes Day is next Tuesday, Nov. 14 which focuses on educating people about the disease.
    While more people are learning about the illness, there's still a lot they don't know, including the fact that diabetes is not a human-only disease. Other animals can be affected, including dogs.

    According to Cornell's Veterinary School, up to 1% of all dogs may get the disease, and pet owners are often devastated when they learn their pup has it.

    About seven years ago, Janet Tweedle learned that her Jack Russell, Cooper, had diabetes. Janet is a retired registered nurse and a certified diabetes educator, and so with some help from her veterinarian and other specialists, she began treating Cooper for his illness and the complications that came along the way.

    As Janet did this, she became determined to share her knowledge with others who are also working to give their dogs a chance at a longer life with the disease. She joined Idaho Matters to tell us more.

    Boise keeps its current mayor, Eagle will see a runoff election when it comes to the city’s top job, most voters said yes to expanding the Ada County Jail, but it still wasn’t enough to pass the $49 million bond.

    It was a mixed bag for the other bonds and levies on the ballot around the state, with some bonds failing and most school levies passing and incumbent school trustees did better overall.

    In short, it was a busy Election Day! Kevin Richert, senior reporter and blogger with Idaho Education News, Scott McIntosh, opinion editor with the Idaho Statesman, James Dawson, political reporter with Boise State Public Radio and McKay Cunningham, the Director of On-Campus Experiential Learning at the College of Idaho joined Idaho Matters to help break down all the results.

    Last week an Oregon man was sentenced to more than three years in a federal prison for violating the “Hate Crimes Prevention Act” and trying to run over three people with a car in Boise.

    Matthew Alan Lehigh plead guilty to trying to run over a security guard in the Boise Public Library parking lot and two women in another parking lot four days later. Officials say these and other crimes committed by Lehigh were motivated by LGBTQ hatred.

    Boise police, the FBI and the Idaho U.S. Attorney’s Office joined forces to investigate and prosecute the case. U.S. Attorney Josh Hurwit joined Idaho Matters to tell us more.

    Over 1,000 Idaho precincts opened their polling places this morning as 43 out of Idaho's 44 counties will hold elections today.

    Boundary County is the only one that won't have an election because there are no contested races there.

    Idaho Secretary of State Phil McGrane sat down with our Morning Edition host George Prentice to talk about what happens behind the scenes on election day and how you can still register to vote.

    Here in Idaho, more than 300,000 people provide at-home care to family members in need, and while performing these services can be fulfilling, it can also be challenging.

    This is why each November we celebrate National Family Caregivers Month, taking time to recognize the important work caregivers do and ways we can help support them.

    Marilyn Sword, Coordinator of the Idaho Caregiver Alliance, joined Idaho Matters to talk more.
