Here's your local news at a glance for Monday, the 11th of August.
Good morning, Nampa.
At Roaring Springs' Endless River, the 25th annual Great Dolphin Dunk raised over $62K for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Ada County by letting donors adopt 10,000 toy dolphins over the past six weeks+ the event continues a 25-year legacy of supporting youth programs that help over 5,000 children.
A truck and trailer rolled over along Highway I-84 near Stage Stop on August 10, blocking one eastbound lane and causing traffic delays—officials say the cause remains under investigation.
Idaho Power and local fire agencies are urging residents to create defensible space around their homes by clearing flammable vegetation due to rising wildfire risk as more houses are built near wildland areas.
Officials expect that increased awareness will help reduce fire spread in these developing zones.
Starting tonight, the Idaho Transportation Department will repair a broken barrier on the Flying Wye, which will cause nightly lane closures on westbound I-84 and a one-lane closure on the flyover for about 2 weeks—drivers should follow reduced speed limits near the repair zone.
Motorists are advised to check for updates on road conditions as the work continues.
