Public Information Officer
Good Afternoon,
I want to thank our CSI Team for all you do to welcome our FFA Students and Guests during the FFA State Leadership Conference. I do not believe the importance of this event to our College and the Twin Falls community can be overstated. What you and your departments do is greatly appreciated and valued! I know it is difficult to recognize the many people behind the scene but please share this
THANK YOU with your personnel!
My sincere thanks and gratitude!

A huge shout out goes to our students and their participation in the 2nd Annual
Eagles Give Back
event. Students partnered with the City of Twin Falls and the Historic Preservation Commission to help give downtown a facelift. Over 90 students representing 17 clubs helped clean up alleyways and parking lots this last rainy Saturday. Our students truly demonstrated what it means to be a golden eagle; full of tenacity, great spirit, and a willingness to help.
THANK YOU TO OUR CSI STUDENTS!

Music Fest, a music day camp for students age 12 to 18, is an opportunity for students to participate in many areas of music and interact with a faculty of professional music educators from all over the state who are chosen for their expertise in their field and work with youth. Students choose a major and spend significant time each day in classes related to their major. Available majors include band, strings, vocal, handbells, musical theater, percussion, organ, and piano. In addition to work in their major, all students participate in the camp choir and have three elective periods to choose from. There are a wide variety of elective classes to choose from, such as drumming circle, small ensembles, musical theater, girls' choir, and many more. On the last evening of the camp, all students perform in the Music Fest concert.
CSI Music Fest is exceptionally affordable. Tuition is $195 for early bird tuition prior to March 15 or $225 after March 15. This fee covers all program costs for the students, including instructional materials. Housing is available for those students wishing to homestay with Twin Falls students and their families. Other optional items such as photos, lunches, and private lessons are also available for an additional cost. All students must be registered by May 1. A limited number of needs-based scholarships are available.

 The CSI Stage Door Series will present "The Mathematics of Resonant Bodies" on April 20. The performance will take place at 7:30 p.m. in the CSI Fine Arts Auditorium.
All noise contains pure tone. In this concert, CSI faculty member Scott Farkas performs John Luther Adams' foundational work for solo percussion. This evening length piece for solo percussion and pre-recorded sounds searches to find and reveal the choirs of complex inner voices of pure tones within the complex sonorities of percussion instruments. Listeners will traverse the topographies of eight unique sonic fields derived from the inherent resonances of the instruments involved: Snare Drums, large Bass Drums, Triangles, Cymbals, large Gong, and even a Siren. This evening of music will be at once aggressive and introspective; bombastic and crystalline soft; hurdling and still. Audience members will be thoroughly engaged in an evening of dramatic musical performance that will leave them discussing and reveling in the possibilities of music and sound itself at its conclusion.
Tickets are $10 for adults or $5 for CSI or high school and under students and are available at the CSI Box Office, by calling 732-6288, at the door, or by going online to
http://tickets.csi.edu. Seating is limited to 100 people.
The CSI Stage Door Series, intimate arts experiences where both performers and audience members are on the stage itself, are designed to be thought-provoking and a little out of the ordinary in different ways - whether it's because of the intimate setting, the material performed, the way they are presented, or the collaborations involved.
For more information, contact the CSI Fine Arts Center at 732-6788.

Vinegar!
It's spelled funny... it smells funny... it'll even make your face do funny things when you taste it... but there is nothing funny about all the wonderful uses for Vinegar!! So... go look around, there's an old jug somewhere in the house! Break it out and let's get busy and have some fun!
Kill grass
Forget store-bought grass and weed killers. Pour full-strength white distilled vinegar on unwanted vegetation. Reapply as needed.
No-wax floors
For rinse-free cleaning, mop using a solution of ½ cup of white distilled vinegar to a half-gallon of warm water. Change water as it gets dirty.
Hair rinse
After every few washings, remove shampoo build-up by rinsing hair with a solution of 1-2 tablespoons of vinegar (either white distilled vinegar or apple cider vinegar) and 1 cup of water. Adjust amount of vinegar to suit your hair type. Less vinegar for dry hair; more vinegar for oily hair. A second rinse with plain water is optional. Hair will be silky and shiny.
Bathtub film
Remove bathtub film by wiping it first with white distilled vinegar then with baking soda. Rinse away grime with clean water. To prevent soap scum build-up, wipe shower doors with a sponge soaked in white distilled vinegar. No need to rinse.

RUPERT- Dozens of Minidoka County woman who don't have health insurance can receive free mammograms thanks to a $12,000 grant from the Idaho-Montana Affiliate of Susan G. Komen.
The award will be given to Minidoka Memorial Hospital's Minidoka County's 1st Defense against Breast Cancer program. The program allows the hospital to provide free mammograms to women who are culturally diverse or have limited English skills and don't have insurance to cover the services.
The grant is part of $24,000 awarded in the Magic Valley. The organization is giving $120,000 to 16 programs in Idaho and Montana.
"If women don't have insurance or don't have the money for a mammogram they tend to let those needs go unmet," said Kim Vega, director of marketing and grants for the Minidoka Memorial.

It's Distracted Driving Awareness Month. Thousands die every year form distracted driving.
According to the National Safety Council:
Many distractions exist while driving, but cell phones are a top distraction because so many drivers use them for long periods of time each day. Almost everyone has seen a driver distracted by a cell phone, but when you are the one distracted, you often don't realize that driver is you.
New technology in vehicles is causing us to become more distracted behind the wheel than ever before. Fifty-three percent of drivers believe if manufacturers put "infotainment" dashboards and hands-free technology in vehicles, they must be safe. And, with some state laws focusing on handheld bans, many drivers honestly believe they are making the safe choice by using a hands-free device. But in fact, these technologies distract our brains even long after you've used them.
