(The following is a transcription of the full broadcast story.)
The Big Sky Tournament continues, with the Idaho Vandals women’s basketball team going up against the Montana Grizzlies. The Grizzlies came out on top with a final score of 71 to 63 and let me tell you it was a fan-packed game.
The arena was filled with fans. Some rooting for the Vandals’ others rooting for Montana and some just here to enjoy the game of basketball.
“I’m a fan of Montana State for sure. I grew up in Vandal country though so you can say my true allegiance is with Montana State it’s not to root for the home team, but we’re in Idaho after all it tough not to see them,” says Cole Gehring.
U of I alumni, current students, and some Montana state students driving as far as eight hours.
Aidan Beard and Deaken Sullivan attend Montana State, they road together with other students just to support their men and women Grizzlies.
Beard says, “The drive was kind of flat. It was about eight hours, so it’s kind of a long drive but it was fun. We leave when we’re done here, especially with that chip.”
In the end, Montana did come out on top but that didn’t stop fans from supporting their team.
“My whole family comes we’ve been coming for the last four years, and I let my kids skip school and come watch a game of basketball and cheer on the lady Vandals and the men. But we’re just glad to spend time with the family and enjoy some basketball,” says Jessica Joyner, a fan of the Vandals.
Another fan adds, “We’re here till Thursday we also are big basketball fans in general, so we’ll be here for a lot of the games just to watch some good Big Sky basketball.
The Grizzlies came out on top with a winning score of 71 to the Vandals’ 63. they will move on to game 8 on Tuesday against the North Arizona Lumberjacks.
BOISE, Idaho (Idaho Capital Sun) — Day use access fees at all Idaho state parks will be waived for Idaho residents on July 4 as part of a celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, Gov. Brad Little announced Friday, as reported by the Idaho Capital Sun.
“As we prepare to mark 250 years of American independence, there is no better way to celebrate than by getting outside with our loved ones and enjoying the freedoms and natural treasures that define our great nation,” Little said Friday. “Idaho’s state parks showcase the very best of our state, and we are proud to welcome families, friends and visitors to explore them free of charge during this special occasion.”
While day use fees for Idaho residents will be waived, normal camping and reservation fees will apply, officials said.
Idaho has 28 state parks, which offer a variety of recreational and outdoor activities including hiking, horseback riding, skiing, bird watching, rock climbing, fishing, boating, swimming, bicycling and more.
State officials with the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation are in the process of unveiling improvements and enhancements at several state parks, including Lucky Peak State Park outside of Boise, which recently opened a new dog beach and accessible kayak launch on the Boise River.
Other state parks include Bruneau Dunes State Park and Observatory, Harriman State Park, Bear Lake State Park and City of Rocks National Reserve, which is a national reserve and state park that attracts climbers from all over the world to its dramatic granite rock spires.
Little said the July 4 fee waiver is a part of a larger effort to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence being signed in 1776.

We’re lucky to live in a place as safe as the Treasure Valley. Despite our growth, one of the things that makes our area so special is the way that we look out for one another–for our neighbors! That’s a principle that seems to have held on as Boise has boomed.
Despite low crime rates, there seems to always be one incident or so that makes us scratch our heads.
A recent string of fraud incidents in the Treasure Valley area is one of those.
Nampa Police initially warned the public of this because cases of fraud began to ‘mushroom’. Then, it took an interesting turn–people that HAD their credit cards were being ‘taken to the bank’, so to speak.
In a statement originally released on April 30th by the Nampa Police Department, officials advised the following:
We are not sure how the suspects are gaining access to the victim’s credit cards. There is a growing fraud scheme, “ghost tapping”, that scammers are using to access victims’ credit cards. This is possibly occurring in these instances. “Ghost tapping” uses stolen credit card details in Apple Pay or Google Pay, then remotely relays the tap signal over the internet to a ‘mule’ at a store, allowing them to make high-value purchases that appear completely legitimate. (We’ll share more information on ghost tapping in a later public service announcement that will also suggest ways to protect yourself.) The app used by these criminals obscures the actual credit card number, making it harder for investigators to link a victim to a particular crime. Keep in mind that victims still have their physical credit cards while suspects use the stolen card information to make purchases, which also affects how victims are alerted. So far, local investigators have not been able to identify a common theme among the victims (e.g., a specific bank, a website they visited, a gas pump they used, etc.) in the fraud cases we are investigating.
The investigation spans far and wide.
Authorities say that some suspects are in custody, others are being contacted, and others are still at large.
Now, a week later, the police are back to reaching out to the public–this time, urging people to check their bank accounts.
Nampa Police say that they have caught onto a pattern– there are fraudulent charges at Albertson’s to purchase gift cards, at Costco to purchase Apple products, and at Best Buy, also for Apple products.
