    This week marks the first debate of candidates running for president in 2024. We know that Mike Pence, Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley and Chris Christie will likely be there, but it looks like Donald Trump won't be.

    Our Morning Edition host George Prentice sat down with Dr. Sam Martin, the Frank and Bethine Church Chair of Public Service at Boise State, to find out what this means.

    Federal officials want to expand the protected range for sage grouse, but some in our region are skeptical about that plan. In Wyoming, for example, state officials want more say in the new protections – which could mean less land will be affected.

    Wyoming Public Radio’s Caitlin Tan reports for the Mountain West News Bureau.

    Every three years, Idaho hospitals conduct an assessment to help determine the states most urgent health needs.

    In the past, issues like obesity, mental health, affordable housing and job availability have been the biggest concerns. This year some of those concerns have changed, while others have stayed the same.

    Alexis Pickering, Program Manager of the Western Idaho Community Health Collaborative, Rebecca Lemmons, Regional Director of Community Health and Well-Being for St. Alphonsus and Amy Stahl, Regional Marketing Director for Select Health with Intermountain Health joined Idaho Matters for an update on the latest results of the assessment.

    As we get hit by the storms leftovers we had to ask the question, is Idaho seeing the effects of a hurricane? We asked Jay Breidenbach to join Idaho Matters to help us answer this question.

    Getting a flat tire on your bike from a goathead is a summer time rite of passage in Idaho.

    These spikey plants are public enemy number one for many outdoor enthusiasts, which is why Jimmy Hallyburton, founder of the Boise Bicycle Project, came up with the idea of the Boise Goathead Festival. He sat down with Morning Edition host George Prentice to talk about this event, as well as the increase of bicycle versus vehicle crashes.

    Across the nation, kids are suffering from a mental health crisis, experiencing increasing levels of anxiety and depression. And when it comes to looking at groups that are most at risk, reports found that students attending high performing schools fell into this category.

    This is an issue that Jennifer Wallace looks at in her debut book, "Never Enough: When Achievement Culture Becomes Toxic-and What We Can Do About It." She sat down with Idaho Matters to talk more.
