The conversation revolves around the process and rationale for these updates, which include replacing the speech credit with a digital literacy requirement. Greg outlines the procedure for implementing the changes, starting with a proposal from the Department of Education, approval by the State Board of Education, and final authorization from the Legislature, making this the first overhaul of graduation criteria in over a decade. The discussion touches on the four major proposals, including the addition of digital literacy, updates to the senior project, a guide for aligning electives with future goals, and ensuring students graduate with “currency” for their futures. Greg addresses questions about the quality and rigor of the new digital literacy course, concerns about the loss of essential interpersonal skills, and potential impacts on speech teachers. Throughout the episode, the balancing act between modernizing education and preserving critical soft skills takes center stage. These changes, if approved, are expected to be fully implemented for the graduating class of 2028.Find Alexis on Instagram and JOIN in the conversation: https://www.instagram.com/the_idaho_lady/Send Alexis an email with guest requests, ideas, or potential collaboration.alexis@ourkidsourschools.comFind great resources and info on school communities:https://ourkidsourschools.com/

Host Jeff Berckes speaks with water professionals from the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality and the City of Boise about their creative approach to the Lower Boise River Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for nutrients. The City of Boise found an atypical way to meet pollutant reductions identified in the TMDL 40 miles downstream from the wastewater treatment facilities. The location of the Dixie Drain Phosphorus Removal Facility provides a unique opportunity to offset phosphorus inputs to the river system from multiple sources. Instead of more expensive treatment at the wastewater plants, the downstream facility maximizes phosphorus removal from sources along the river's corridor.   About our guests:  Troy Smith is the Wastewater Compliance Bureau chief at the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality.  Lauri Monnot serves as the Idaho Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Program (IPDES) municipal permit writer with the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality.  Haley Falconer is the senior manager of Water Renewal Programs with the City of Boise, Idaho.  Kate Harris is the Water Quality Programs manager for the City of Boise, Idaho.   

Fire Bureau Chief Josh Harvey from the Idaho Department of Lands joins associate producer Logan Finney to discuss this year in wildfire and the long term trends as Idaho's population continues to grow.

Send us a textDr. Scott Leibsle graduated from the University of Wisconsin but now serves as Idaho's State Veterinarian with the Idaho Department of Agriculture. Dr. Leibsle talks about how each state deals with different issues based on their location and the animals raised in those locations.

He clarifies how the avian bird flu raised the alarm in 2024 and shares how a shortage of large animal veterinarians is a worry now and for the future.

Bryan Kohberger's defense team is actively opposing the death penalty for the 29-year-old, who is charged with the murders of four University of Idaho students in November 2022. Kohberger, a former criminology Ph.D. student, is accused of fatally stabbing Xana Kernodle, Ethan Chapin, Kaylee Goncalves, and Madison Mogen in their home near the university campus. In addition to four counts of first-degree murder, he faces burglary charges for the alleged crime. Kohberger's defense attorneys have filed multiple objections to the death penalty, citing both legal and moral grounds. They argue that Idaho's methods of execution — lethal injection and firing squad — violate Kohberger's rights under the U.S. Constitution. Specifically, they claim that these methods breach the Eighth Amendment's protection against cruel and unusual punishment and the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of due process. "Executing Kohberger by means of lethal injection or a gunshot as conceived of by the Idaho Department of Corrections would violate his right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment," his defense team wrote in a court filing. The defense further argues that death by firing squad, which is Idaho's alternative execution method when lethal injection is unavailable, "is not and was never constitutional." In addition to these arguments, Kohberger's lawyers have claimed that capital punishment in general is a violation of "the dignity and spirit of human beings," citing evolving global standards. "The vast majority of modern, civilized society has already abolished capital punishment because the execution of human beings by governments is recognized to be a violation of the dignity and spirit of human beings," the defense wrote. They also noted that the United States has faced condemnation from the international community for continuing to carry out executions. Prosecutors, on the other hand, assert that they are simply adhering to Idaho law, which allows a jury to decide both guilt and the appropriate penalty, including the death sentence. "We are simply trying to fulfill our responsibilities under the law. To characterize it as the State is trying, is wanting, is trying to kill someone, is just simply appealing to raw emotion, and it has no place in this courtroom," prosecutors previously stated. The murders took place in the early hours of November 13, 2022, when the four victims were found stabbed to death with a KA-BAR-style knife at their off-campus residence in Moscow, Idaho. Kohberger, who was arrested in December 2022 at his family's home in Pennsylvania, has maintained his innocence throughout the proceedings. Kohberger's trial is scheduled to begin no later than the summer of 2025, giving both the defense and prosecution ample time to prepare for what is expected to be a lengthy and high-profile trial. With the death penalty on the table, Kohberger's legal team is seeking to eliminate capital punishment as a possible outcome. In their filings, they argue that preparing for a capital case in such a short timeframe is unrealistic and unfair. The case has garnered national attention, particularly given Kohberger's academic background in criminology and the brutal nature of the crime. The outcome of this case will be closely watched, especially as the court navigates the debate over Idaho's capital punishment procedures and the broader implications for death penalty cases across the country. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #DeathPenaltyDebate #CapitalPunishment #UniversityOfIdaho #EighthAmendment #CriminalLaw Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Photo Credit: Fremont-Madison Irrigation District | Grassy Lake Outlet -Earlier this summer the Idaho Department of Water Resources issued a curtailment order calling for junior water rights holders to shut off their water because certain requirements weren't being met according to a 2016 water mitigation plan. Some 6,400 junior groundwater rights holders who pump from the Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer, our natural underground resource, had to shut their water off because of what's called a threat of injury for senior water rights holders in the Magic Valley area. For those who fell under the curtailment order, including farmers, many of their livelihoods were threatened. Here's what's being done about it now.

After weeks of negotiations between Idaho's surface water users and groundwater districts, a compromise has been reached that ends the potential water curtailment order from the Idaho Department of Water Resources. OMAHA (DTN) -- China's largest state-owned food processor and grain dealer has reached a deal to take full ownership of a transloading grain facility on the Mississippi River across from St. Louis, Missouri. Plus more on this episode. 

Recently the word ‘curtailment' has been in the media in connection with those in the agriculture industry, ground and surface water users, and the Idaho Department of Water Resources. Curtailments or a restriction of groundwater pumping, usually happen when there is a prediction of a water supply shortage, and simply put groundwater users with junior water rights are sometimes subject to decisions that protect the interest of those with senior water rights. Most recently a projection from IDWR suggested there could be a water shortage of 74,100 acre-feet of water to the Twin Falls Canal Company. To put that into perspective one acre-foot of water equals 325,000 gallons. Because of this, the water supply for east Idaho groundwater users with some 6,400 junior water rights, and 500,000 acres of farmland were threatened. This included those in Bingham, Bonneville, Jefferson, and Clark water districts. Those in Madison, Henry's Fork, American Falls, and Aberdeen districts were not subject to this curtailment order.

Joining the podcast this week is Alex Adams, the new director of the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare. He has served for the past five years as budget director for Gov. Brad Little, and now he takes the helm at one of the largest – and most expensive – state agencies. Associate producer Logan Finney discusses Adams's first week on the job, his actions to streamline adoption and foster care placements, and the relationship between the Legislature and IDHW moving forward.

The scheduled execution of Thomas Creech, Idaho's longest-serving death row prisoner, faced a startling delay on Wednesday morning as prison officials struggled to find a suitable vein to administer the lethal injection. Creech, 73, convicted of five murders spanning three states, was set to face his sentence at 10 am PST, but the execution was abruptly called off due to complications with the procedure. Josh Twalt, Director of the Idaho Department of Corrections, announced the delay, stating, "The medical team could not establish an IV line, rendering the execution unable to proceed." Despite attempts by a team of three medical personnel to locate a vein in Creech's arms and legs, including ten separate tries, the procedure proved unsuccessful. Creech's arms and legs were strapped to the table as the attempts were made. In a statement, the department confirmed, "The State will consider next steps," as Creech's death warrant expired due to the failed execution attempt. Witnesses reported seeing Creech interacting with family members and even waving at various points during the process. However, upon the halt of the execution, a warden approached Creech and engaged in a private conversation with him. Creech's attorneys swiftly filed a motion for a stay in the US District Court, condemning the execution attempt's botched nature. They had previously filed multiple appeals on grounds including an unfair clemency hearing and ineffective counsel, all of which were denied by the US Supreme Court just hours before the scheduled execution. The convicted serial killer's story is one of infamy, with convictions for murders in Idaho, Oregon, and California, dating back to 1974. Creech confessed to additional murders, although his attorneys dispute the number, claiming it to be "grossly exaggerated." Despite attempts by supporters to argue for a sentence reduction to life without parole, Creech's history of violence has left a legacy of fear and mourning in the communities affected by his crimes. As the delay unfolded, protesters gathered outside the Idaho Maximum Security Institution, where Creech is incarcerated, adding to the tension surrounding the case. Creech, who had been joined by his wife for a last meal the night before, faces an uncertain future as legal proceedings continue. The failed execution attempt raises questions about the efficacy and humanity of the death penalty, reigniting debates surrounding its implementation and the potential for cruel and unusual punishment in its application. For now, Thomas Creech remains on death row, awaiting further legal proceedings to determine his fate. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Stealth aka Silent Hunting. We do so chasing big game, learn why it applies to hunting upland game, especially pheasants. News headlines of a self-defense grizzly kill to recent legislation protecting our hunter education in schools. This is Rebecca Wanner aka 'BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt with the radio show The Bend Radio Show & Podcast, your news outlet for the latest in the Outdoors & Western Lifestyle! Episode 155 Details     How many of you are locked and loaded, westward bound for the long awaited elk rifle season? For example, Montana's opens Saturday October 21st and Colorado has already started kicking off it's first season with the second season soon to start while Nebraska will be wrapping up bull elk seasons on October 31st.    We want to be sure to wish everyone the best out there on a successful trip! In our news shortly, we have another grizzly story you'll want to hear and then also for those that are leaving on that long awaited hunting or fishing excursion… we share ideas that Tigger & BEC personally do so that when a spouse or loved one is left behind, they don't feel lonely, avoid the jealousy that could stem and keep everyone part of being part of a memorable trip.   Also on today's show, we have an expert in upland game hunting joining and we are talking about STEALTH pheasant hunting. With all that on deck - Let's Ride and get this show on the Road!      NEWS   HUNTER EDUCATION PROTECTED   According to Outdoor News, President Joe Biden has signed the Protecting Hunting Heritage and Education Act, which protects funding for schools that provide hunter education, archery, shooting sports and other programs. The signature comes after both chambers of the U.S. Congress solidly passed the legislation that fixes language from the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act of 2022 that potentially allowed the U.S. Department of Education to pull federal funding from schools that have hunter education, archery and other shooting sports programs.     FLORIDA ENCOURAGES RESIDENTS OUTDOORS       According to WFLA, News Channel 8: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has announced a new initiative that went into effect this week to encourage Floridians to get outside, including discounts to state parks and for obtaining hunting and fishing licenses. The Great Outdoors Initiative was created to encourage residents to explore Florida's state parks, recreation areas, and waterways. The executive order directs the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to offer 50% off annual state park passes and Gold Sportsman's hunting and fishing licenses. The following are the discounted rates that are available until Jan. 13, 2024: Florida State Parks Family Annual Pass: $60, plus tax Florida State Parks Individual Annual Pass: $30, plus tax FWC Annual Gold Sportsman licenses: $50.75, plus applicable fees FWC Five-year Gold Sportsman: $247.75, plus applicable fees FWC Lifetime Sportsman License: Age 4 or younger- $201.50, Ages 5-12- $351.50, Ages 13 and older- $501.50, plus applicable fees “Florida is home to some of the best state parks, waterways and recreational lands in the country, and I encourage all Floridians to get outdoors, experience our extraordinary natural resources and enjoy our fundamental right to hunt and fish,” DeSantis said. “And we are now making it more affordable for families to get outside and enjoy these wonders by offering state park passes and fishing and hunting licenses at sharply discounted rates.” We hope other states look into doing something similar for their residents.

When the hunter, who was not publicly identified, yelled to warn his hunting partner about the bear, the grizzly rushed toward him, according to the department. The hunter drew his sidearm and fired several times as the charging bear closed in on him, striking and killing the animal before it was able to make contact, officials said. After killing the grizzly, the department said the hunter immediately called the Citizens Against Poaching hotline to report the incident. IDFG officers responded and conducted a thorough investigation. It was determined by wildlife officials that the hunter acted in self-defense during a surprise encounter with the bear from a very close distance. Officials are reminding hunters again that grizzly bears are protected under state and federal law, and that the animals may be encountered within the Greater Yellowstone and north Idaho areas. When hunting in grizzly country, the department encouraged visitors to carry bear spray and keep it accessible, hunt with partners, look for signs of grizzly bears and retrieve meat quickly and hang it – along with other food and garbage – at least 10 feet off the ground and 200 yards from camp. Most attacks occur by inadvertently surprising a bear at close range, according to officials, who advised visitors to make noise around creeks and thick vegetation when not hunting.   According to Fox news, This comes after earlier in the month when Rep. Dan Newhouse, R-Wash., who chairs the Congressional Western Caucus, introduced legislation that would block a federal proposal to release grizzly bears in a forest area in Washington. The legislation would force the Department of Interior to withdraw a proposed rule introduced in September that would involve actively restoring populations of the Grizzly Bears in Washington. We are following this as 2023 is shaping up to be the year of Beware of Bears.   FEATURE STEALTH UPLAND BIRD HUNTING The Do, The Do Not & Did You Know About Pheasants Feature: Rick Acker, Award-Winning Taxidermist, Expert Upland Game Hunter Roughrider Game Birds https://www.facebook.com/roughridergamebirds After opening weekend, pheasant hunting can seem more of a challenge at times after the birds have been chased. That is why it is important to now quiet hunt or stealth hunt upland game birds. If hunting with youth, it is understandable to still communicate the sex of a bird, rooster vs hen. However, if with experienced hunters, to be more successful consider leaving the cheers, yells and talking for once back at the vehicle. STEALTH SILENT HUNTING Pheasants' strongest sense is sound. Quiet is key. Pheasants see color. Dress to blend into surroundings. Do Not be yelling "bird bird" to flush. Do Not be yelling “Rooster” or “Hen” Develop hand signals that all members of your group understand. Train your dog to fully understand the shock collar being worn, so that one does not need to call for your dog. Check your state's regulations for upland game hunting. Some states may require fluorescent orange vests and/or hats. Every year laws can change, so it is very important to know the laws before hitting the field regardless what species one is hoping to hunt or catch. THE BEND FIELD REPORT - HEATHER KROHE SMASHING PUMPKIN RECORD Did you know there is a Guinness World Record for longest distance paddled in a pumpkin? Well there is!

Steve Kueny grew his 1,293 pound pumpkin, carved it out, and paddled it 38.4 miles down the Missouri River from Kansas City to Napoleon. WAYS TO FLIRT FROM THE FIELD Both pack for the trip, try out the gear together. Compliment the other often, that it's fun to plan the adventure together. Leave notes in unexpected places before leaving. Flirty Text Messages Joke, tease, be playful when texting is possible. Offer to help with small chores or surprise by doing them, goes both ways. Touch affectionately. Give that BIG KISS or HUG before leaving. AND be sure to do the same upon returning, reminding the other of how much they were missed.
