Today's riddle: How do you know the moon is going broke? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Boise man sentenced to 30 years for two cases of sexual assault involving coworkers (ktvb.com) — A Boise man has been sentenced to a total of 30 years in prison for two violent sexual assaults against coworkers, including a 16-year-old, after guilty pleas to rape and forcible penetration. Boise and Meridian police investigations and Ada County prosecutors were credited with securing justice, and the judges ordered sex offender registration and barred contact with the victims.
2. Interfaith Sanctuary Shelter Home named National Women's Shelter Network Project of the Year (kivitv.com) — Boise's Interfaith Sanctuary Shelter Home has earned a national Project of the Year award, spotlighting its new 24-hour facility on West State Street. The shelter now offers meals, medical care, recovery programs, workforce training, family services, and housing support, backed by local donors and advocates who pushed through land-use and neighborhood challenges.
3. Below the cross: The story behind the other Table Rock landmark (boisedev.com) — Boise residents can learn the little-known story of the giant "B" carved into Table Rock by four local teens during the Great Depression, long before the cross appeared. The piece traces how Boise students have repainted it for school pride, its occasional transformations, and how to tackle the challenging hike from the Old Penitentiary trailhead today.
4. Head-on collision north of Boise kills one and injures three (idahostatesman.com) — A head-on collision on State Highway 21 east of Lowman left a Caldwell woman dead and injured a Caldwell man, a Boise man, and a juvenile, all airlifted to local hospitals. The Saturday crash, about six miles north of the Banks-Lowman Road, blocked traffic for roughly five hours and drew response from Idaho State Police, the Boise County Sheriff's Office, and local EMS crews.
5. San Antonio just earned a spot on Oxford Economics' 'Cities to Watch' list (dallasnews.com) — Boise has been named one of Oxford Economics' three U.S. "Cities to Watch" for 2026, putting it alongside San Antonio and Jacksonville in a global ranking of rising urban economies. While the article focuses on San Antonio's projects, the recognition signals growing national attention on Boise's economic momentum and future prospects.
