The CSI Board of Trustees met in an open work session on Wednesday, April 6, to decide which of two trustee districting maps to approve. The Idaho Legislature passed a law directing all Idaho community colleges to divide their college taxing districts into five zones of approximately equal population. The objective of the bill is to ensure that future college boards consist of trustees from all areas of the taxing district. (full screen - CSI map) In CSI's case, this will guarantee representation from Twin Falls and Jerome Counties. CSI board members approved the proposal you see here. All of Jerome County except for the extreme southwest corner near the Jerome Country Club is one zone. The other four zones - in very general terms - are east of Blue Lakes, west of Blue Lakes, downtown Twin Falls core, and north of Addison Avenue. An interactive version of the map can be found at csi.edu/trusteezones. CSI will submit this map to the Idaho State Board of Education for its approval and will begin working immediately with Twin Falls and Jerome county officials in preparation for November's elections.

Janitzio Family Mexican Restaurant
J. Mercedes & Gloria Guzman
Twin Falls, ID
Mercedes and Gloria Guzman have over 30 years of combined experience in restaurant ownership and management. In 2007, they opened Janitzio Family Mexican Restaurant in Twin Falls, offering a menu with recipes originating from their hometown in Michoacán, Mexico. The business soon outgrew the leased property and Mercedes and Gloria began to investigate the steps needed to purchase a building. On the recommendation of her banker, Gloria visited the Twin Falls office of the Idaho Small Business Development Center (SBDC). With the help of SBDC consultant Sherry Blass, Gloria created a business plan and worked with the local Certified Development Company, Region IV Development Corporation. With these collaborative efforts, Janitzio was able to secure financing to purchase a new building, doubling the available restaurant space and seating capacity. Janitzio Family Mexican Restaurant opened in their new building in 2012. Janitzio currently has seven employees with yearly profits surpassing projections.
"...the SBDC took the time to explain the process of applying for a loan." 2013

Science author Sam Kean, who has written three books that were named Amazon Top Science Books of the Year, will speak at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Apr. 13 in the College of Southern Idaho's Fine Arts Auditorium.
'The Disappearing Spoon, 'Tale of the Dueling Neurosurgeons,' and 'The Violinist's Thumb' have received excellent reviews and several prestigious awards. Kean has been featured on NPR's Radiolab, All Things Considered, and Fresh Air. A whimsical page on his website, www.samkean.com, says he studied physics and English when he went to college in Minnesota, he earned a master's degree in library science that he'll probably never use, and that open-faced sandwiches are better than other kinds.
Kean's appearance is sponsored by the CSI Honors and STEM Programs, the NASA Idaho Space Grant Consortium, and Discover Science Workshops. It is free and open to everyone.

Two organizations at the College of Southern Idaho have teamed up to create a community event that they hope will promote better public engagement and involvement. 'Creating Healthy Communities Through Engagement' will be an inclusive conversation about working together productively to reach common ground in business, education, and community.
"We hope to promote well-being in the lives of those who live in the Magic Valley," said Samra Culum of the CSI Student Affairs office, one of the hosting organizations.
John Brannen heads the CSI Civility Project, which is the other event sponsor. "If you want to touch people's smartness and bring out their brilliance, then you need to create a space where people feel safe enough to speak, to listen to one another, to be heard, to offer support, and to coach one another," said Brannen about what to expect at the event.
At 6:30 p.m., panel members who have volunteered to be a part of the event will introduce themselves, followed by a 15-minute presentation from Brannen. After brief remarks from the panel, questions and comments will be taken from the audience.
Panel members include: Twin Falls Mayor and Twin Falls Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director, Shawn Barigar; Twin Falls School District Director of Policy, Grants, and Federal Programs, Bill Brulotte; Managing Director of Miss Africa Idaho, Winnie Christensen; Chapter President of the Society for Human Resource Management, Rebekah Yancey; CSI Communication Professor Tiffany Seeley-Case; and a representative from St. Luke's Magic Valley.
Organizers hope attendees will be motivated by what they hear to become more actively and positively engaged in their communities. Audience members will be encouraged to gather names and contacts for community resources in their communities and to take a civility pledge.

The College of Southern Idaho Kindergarten Lab is now enrolling for the 2016/2017 school year.
The curriculum includes: Literacy, Science, Math, Engineering, Technology, Critical Thinking, Creative Arts, and Social and Physical Development.
The curriculum meets the Common Core Standards for kindergarten.
There is a focus on inquiry and project-based learning. Students take on units of study based on their interests, and complete projects to show what they have learned.
There is a low student to teacher ratio, which means children receive daily individualized instruction.
We believe in fostering a love for learning and assist children in developing their natural curiosity and desire to learn.
The CSI Kindergarten Lab is a half day program. It works as a stand-alone program or as enrichment with other kindergarten programs.
Open House: Come visit the teacher and classroom
Date: Thursday, April 14
, 2016
Time: 5:00-7:00 pm
Location: Boys and Girls Club (999 Frontier Road)

Tickets are now available for the final performance of the CSI Theater Department's 2015-2016 Season, Romeo and Juliet. The show will run Wednesday through Saturday, April 27 - 30 at 7:30 p.m. in the CSI Globe Theater, a special outdoor stage space built especially for this performance behind the CSI Fine Arts Center.
In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare weaves the tragic tale of two young, star-crossed lovers. At the heart, it is the world's most famous story of romantic love...but it's so much more. It is also a play about a younger generation stretching to break the bonds forged by their elders. It is a search to define the boundary between unfettered romantic love and the mores demanded by society. It is a story of coming of age, of growing up, and of youth struggling to redefine the world in which they live, guided by passion and love. Whether you are experiencing the work for the first time or rediscovering its beauty and poetry, join us as the College of Southern Idaho presents this beautiful and moving piece of theater under the stars in the beauty of an Idaho spring. Audience members are welcome to bring low back chairs and blankets to sit on and food/drinks, but alcohol is prohibited on the CSI campus. Tickets are $8 each for adults and $6 each for students/seniors.
What pairs better with Shakespeare than an evening of jazz, wine, food, and conversation with friends? At 5:30 p.m. on Friday, April 29, CSI and the Magic Valley Arts Council will be offering The Romeo and Juliet Director's Circle, a special program prior to that evening's performance at CSI. Join fellow lovers of Shakespeare for a pre-show presentation and discussion with Romeo and Juliet director Shane Brown, including jazz from Brent Jensen and Michael Frew, wine, and hors d'ouevres. The discussion will include the direction of Romeo and Juliet as a dramatized sonnet, the themes emphasized in the play, and design concepts used to highlight those themes. After mingling, eating, drinking, and discussing, attend the performance of Romeo and Juliet in special reserved seating on the lawn in front of the CSI Globe Stage. Ticket price includes admission to the pre-show discussion, hors d'oeuvres and wine at the Magic Valley Center for the Arts, and reserved seating at the show. Tickets are $20.
Tickets can be purchased at the CSI Fine Arts Box Office, by calling 732-6288, or by going online to
http://tickets.csi.edu

Do you struggle with aches, pains or tingling and numbness while at your work station? We encourage you to take action before those symptoms become an injury or illness.
Two documents offered by St. Luke's can help you set up and access how your office and tools are working with and for you.
If small interventions don't seem to resolve your issues the Employee Wellbeing Program can offer you a FREE ergonomic assessment. After you make your problems known to your supervisor:
- Contact Judy Heatwole in the HR Office to schedule a worksite/ergonomic evaluation. Submit request to jheatwole@csi.edu with the following information: Name, Department, Extension, Position, Supervisor, Reason for request (i.e. issues you are having, etc.), any pertinent history (i.e. back injury/surgery, etc.), Location of worksite.
- An order for a worksite evaluation will be placed with the Center for Physical Rehab (CPR) and they will contact you for an appointment to review your worksite, body mechanics, etc.
When the evaluation is complete please share the outcomes with your supervisor. Some of the recommendations may have already been put in place by the physical therapist, others may require ordering supplies. Your supervisor and the Employee Wellbeing Coordinator will assist you with following-through with any further suggested changes.
