With up to 1,000 high school and college students expected to use the new Idaho Falls-based STEM Institute, leaders say the effort could attract companies, expand the workforce, and grow the region's economy for years.

Idaho State Police say her minivan entered the intersection without stopping and was hit by a pickup, and the Bonneville County coroner has now publicly identified her while the investigation continues.
3. A year of record fish in the Gem State (lmtribune.com) — An Idaho Falls angler is back in the record books after Dylan Smith landed a 43.25-inch lake trout at Payette Lake, reclaiming a state catch-and-release title he briefly held in 2018.
