• Idaho Power utility work to affect parking Ketchum (kmvt.com) — Parking at Ketchum’s city lot at Second Street and Washington Avenue will be limited on the east side from Nov. 2–13 as Idaho Power installs underground utilities, with some planned power outages expected starting the week of Nov. 16. Businesses will stay open and pedestrian access will continue, so plan extra time, consider alternate parking, and keep supporting nearby shops and restaurants.
   

• LISTEN: The Castellows Release 'Mr. Right' And 'Closer Still' (nashville.com) — Ketchum residents can catch rising country trio The Castellows at the Argyros Performing Arts Center on December 27 and 28, with both shows benefiting local watershed nonprofit Project Big Wood. The Georgia sisters are pairing these concerts with the release of two new songs, giving fans a preview of their forthcoming debut album while supporting Big Wood River protection efforts.
   

• U of I online tool protecting communities' drinking water from wildfires (postregister.com) — Ketchum is among several Western communities using the University of Idaho’s WEPPcloud tool to weigh sediment risks from forest thinning against the dangers of a major wildfire to local drinking water. The online system lets city and federal managers quickly model erosion and runoff scenarios, helping them better protect unfiltered water sources and plan smarter wildfire mitigation projects across Idaho and beyond.
