📰 News we're reading
1. Lapwai man arrested for allegedly trying to steal motorcycle... (lmtribune.com) — A Lewiston resident's motorcycle was reportedly taken from a carport on Idaho Street, leading police to arrest a 29-year-old Lapwai man on an attempted grand theft charge. Officers say they spotted someone pushing the bike near G and Jefferson, then used home surveillance footage to link the suspect. The case heads to Nez Perce County 2nd District Court next week. 
2. LC State Fall Frenzy and Family Weekend Returns Sept. 28-Oct. 3 (dailyfly.com) — Lewiston residents are invited to Lewis-Clark State College's Fall Frenzy and Family Weekend, running Sept. 28 through Oct. 3 with games, athletic events, a color run, and family activities on campus. Community members can attend talent shows, volleyball matches, and a baseball scrimmage, with chances for students to win scholarships and learn more about LC State programs.
3. Idaho Gasoline Prices Surge Again (koze.com) — Lewiston drivers are now paying about $4.50 per gallon for regular gas, as Idaho's statewide average climbs to $4.57, one of the highest in the nation. The report compares local prices with other Idaho cities and the national average, tying the surge to higher crude oil costs linked to Middle East instability.
4. Questions mount as schools resolve how to cover benefit trust shortfall (bonnercountydailybee.com) — Lewiston school employees' health benefits are tied to a statewide trust that suddenly needs an extra $13 million, leaving the Lewiston Independent School District on the hook for more than $1 million. District leaders say they'll tap reserves and watch spending closely to avoid cutting programs. Other Idaho districts are weighing lump-sum versus multi-year payments as they scramble to meet looming deadlines.
