2026/09/01

A chillin’ black bear in a Pocatello backyard got the call from Idaho Fish and Game—no drama, just a hungry teen trying to survive a drought-stricken landscape. With berries and nuts scarce, this young bear likely followed the Portneuf River corridor, ending up too close to civilization. Officials relocated him to wilder terrain, rare for bears in city limits—last seen here was 2018, even wandered into Zoo Idaho. A reminder: wildlife’s just trying to eat, even if it means a detour through your

Main Street in Boise is fully closed between 27th Street and Whitewater Park Blvd—cutting off access to I-84, Chinden Blvd, and Fairview Ave—and this major disruption will last until the end of October.

Rural moms on Medicaid face a growing crisis: as rural hospitals shutter maternity wards, many now must drive an hour or more to give birth — a stark contrast to just 13 minutes in urban areas. A new KFF study warns that recent healthcare legislation, which cuts hospital payments and introduces work requirements for Medicaid, could accelerate this trend.
