In February of 1966...
The owners of the Beach property, located north of the present LDS Temple, did not want to sell their property. They probably would have sold it for a higher price, but it made the Kimes site-the present campus location-much more reasonably priced.

College of Southern Idaho Public Safety Director Jim Munn cautions students and their families following reports of several suspicious calls from someone claiming to be a collector for delinquent student loans.
Munn says the latest report came from the mother of a CSI student who said the caller threatened to fine and send her daughter to jail if the loan was not re-paid. Using the number provided by the mother, Munn called it back. He said from the reaction of the man who answered, he is certain it was not from a legitimate collection agency.
An internet search shows that the phone number is associated with a long-running series of multiple phone scams across the country with callers claiming to be IRS agents, student loan collection agencies and even law enforcement.
Munn says it's important to insist on getting the identity of any caller and the business claiming to make such claims and never to give personal or financial information to someone over the phone unless you have initiated the call to a person or business you know.

The Herrett Center at the College of Southern Idaho will hold its 18
th
annual Science Camp-In overnight event the evening of April first. This program is designed for students in third, fourth, and fifth grades who are interested in learning about science in a fun, engaging environment.
Participants are invited to the museum for an evening of science workshops, a planetarium show, an observatory sky viewing session, and other fun activities. Science Camp-In is designed to show students a variety of science applications and to demonstrate the many fields of science that they could study at CSI in the future.
Each participant will have an opportunity to select two workshops from a list of exciting options led by CSI faculty and students. Some of the possibilities include dissecting owl pellets with Biology professors Jan Simpkin and Randy Smith or going on a mock archaeological dig with CSI's Anthropology Club.
The evening will culminate with a 'camp in' in the museum's Rick Allen Room where participants will enjoy pizza from Twin Falls' Pizza Pie Café, watch a movie on the big screen, and sleep in their sleeping bags. All activities will be thoroughly supervised. The students will wake up early for more fun in the morning before being picked up by parents.
The program begins at 5:30 p.m. Friday, Apr. 1 and children will be picked up at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, Apr. 2. The cost is $50 per child. Space is limited and usually goes quickly. To sign up, please go to
herrett.csi.edu and download the registration form or stop by the front desk of the Herrett Center for Arts and Science. For more information, please contact the Herrett Center Education Coordinator, Laura Browarny at 208-732-6664 or at

The CSI North Side Center 2016 Lecture Series includes great topics such as Hooks, Harpoons, and Hunting Fish, Gooding College, and Tecumseh. Although the first lecture has passed, you still have time to make it to the other two on the current schedule.
Gooding College Description
From 1917 to 1938, Gooding, Idaho was home to an excellent college of higher education. Gooding College was started by the Methodist Episcopal Church and was considered one of the finest in Idaho. IN this presentation, learn about the fascinating history of the college including its patriotic role in the community during World War I, its tribulations during the Spanish Flu Pandemic, and perhaps most importantly, its role in shaping the City of Gooding and surrounding communities. The college folded in 1938 and the buildings were given to the state to be used as a tuberculosis hospital. What remains of the college is now privately owned. During its heyday, Gooding College had a voice respected by the community it served and the students it taught.
Kelly Kast was born and raised in Gooding County and has spent many years researching and writing about the intriguing history of south-central Idaho. Kelly was a staff writer for the Gooding County Leader for seven years and its editor for three years. She has published many history articles with Idaho Magazine. Kelly currently works for the Idaho State Police and recently published Without Compromise, the history of the Idaho State Police, in celebration of its 75th anniversary.
Tecumseh Description
Tecumseh is the Shawnee warrior described by some as the best looking and most intelligent man in America or Europe. He was possibly the most feared warrior of the Indian Wars. He was the primary reason the United States and Canada are two different countries today. He prophesied major geological and astronomical events to the minute, months and years before they occured.
Rod Howard is a retired District Forest Ranger with the U.S. Forest Service. He has circled the earth and has spoken on various topics in several lands, including Hyde Park in London. Besides being a District Ranger, he was also on State and National level Fire Fighting Overhead teams for 22 years. He has fought fire in all western states and Alaska, even north of the Arctic Circle. He was also the Incident Commander of the Utah Inter-Agency Fire Team.

This is a resource offered at last week's Wellbeing class for healthy families.
- Our Groceries is a great way to keep lists synchronized among all of the devices you have. Your husband can even add to the list and it will update on your phone. So in this case your whole family can help keep things on track.
- With Out of Milk you can organize the categories of your grocery list simply. Use the typing feature or just speak your shopping list additions into your phone. Share your list or send your list to anyone close to you and they can to it as well.
- Organize your list items by aisle and sale options through Grocery Pal and you can create as many lists as you want while also redeeming your best coupons.
- Get all of your local sales ads and best deal notifications with the Weekly Sales Ad App where it brings up the name of the store in an icon and all you have to do is search within that store for the deals you are looking for. Super easy and awesome if you are working your list on a budget.
- The Coupon Mart is a great go-to if you are a coupon gal. The app gives you access to over 15 popular coupon resources and there is no need for endless searching!
- If you are a regular coupon user then this app called Scissors is the best coupon organizer. You add your coupons and you can even set reminders o you know when they expire to get the most use. This really helps with organizing the shopping list and even meal planning.
- Trying to tighten up on your budget and spending on groceries? Then use Price Compare to calculate the price of items and their size with previous purchases to make sure you are optimizing your spending.
- If you are looking for a general way to keep track of your grocery shopping and other to-do lists then use Wunderlist. It is great for sharing among families and keeping track of grocery lists as well as other family tasks.
- If you buy a lot of produce and ever wonder if you are picking the best then use Pick Me Fruits to make sure you are. This app gives shoppers tips on buying fruits seasonally and how to check and store them for maximized freshness.
- Pepperplate is an amazing app for moms who meal plan or like to share recipes. The app allows you to store and import your favorite recipes, share your ideas with friends and family, and also set up your grocery list according to your planned meals.

The CDC tells us that flue activity often peaks in February and can last into May. Maps of recent activity show for the week of February 13, the proportion of people seeing their health care provider for influenza-like illness increased from 2.4% to 3.1%.
The good news is that this year's flu vaccinations are proving to be very effective and it's not too late to get one. It can take up to two weeks for the vaccinations to become fully effective, so you will want to see your provider soon. Remember that flu vaccinations are FREE to benefited employees and that you can drop by your pharmacy for this service.
