1. Quagga mussels persist in Snake River for fourth year as Idaho plans another treatment (boisedev.com) — Quagga mussels are still present in the Snake River near Twin Falls, and the state plans another copper-based treatment in the mid-Snake later this month. Sampling shows mussel levels are down sharply from last year, but mandatory boat inspections from Broken Bridge to Hansen Bridge remain. Officials will closely monitor copper levels to protect nearby springs and habitats. 
2. Mobile Vet Center coming to Twin Falls (kmvt.com) — Veterans in Twin Falls can meet the Mobile Vet Center today on Blue Lakes Boulevard next to Moxie Java from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Staffed by fellow veterans, the unit offers counseling, help navigating VA benefits, and connections to food pantries and other local resources. A second stop is planned Tuesday in Rupert for those nearby.
3. Exploring Idaho: A walk behind Perrine Coulee Falls tells part of Idaho's geological story (ktvb.com) — If you're looking for an easy local adventure, Perrine Coulee Falls in Twin Falls offers a short walk that lets you stand right behind a 200‑foot waterfall in the Snake River Canyon. A College of Southern Idaho geologist explains how ancient lava flows, fractures, and the Bonneville Flood shaped the canyon's dramatic cliffs and the hidden falls locals are increasingly rediscovering.
