📰 News we're reading

1. Catholics and Guns in Twin Falls (newsradio1310.com) — St. Edward the Confessor Catholic Church in Twin Falls is hosting a trap‑shoot fundraiser at the Twin Falls Gun Club on October 3 to support seminarians and encourage local vocations. The day starts with Mass at St. Edward, then moves to the range, and you don't need to be Catholic to join—organizers will provide safety instruction, practice shots, and full competition details by phone or online.
   

2. ISDA completes 2026 quagga mussel treatment in Snake River (kmvt.com) — Copper treatments targeting invasive quagga mussels in the Snake River near Twin Falls have wrapped up, with state officials reporting a 77% drop in detections and no active river closures. Copper levels were applied below drinking-water standards and are expected to normalize quickly, but monitoring continues along a 25-mile stretch, important for local irrigation and infrastructure.
   

3. Idaho congressional candidate who pleaded guilty to child exploitation charges remains eligible for office (kmvt.com) — A congressional candidate on Idaho's 1st District ballot, in a race of interest to many Twin Falls voters, has pleaded guilty to two felony counts of possessing child sexually exploitative material but remains legally eligible for federal office. The report explains Idaho's loss and restoration of civil rights for felons and contrasts that with the U.S. Constitution's requirements for serving in Congress.
   

4. Idaho's August Unemployment Rate Remained at 3.6% (koze.com) — Idaho's unemployment rate held at 3.6% in August, but Twin Falls saw a 0.4% nonfarm job increase for the month even as its year‑over‑year job count slipped 0.8%. For local workers and employers, that means a labor market that's still relatively tight, with modest short‑term gains but some longer‑term softening compared with last year.
