Here's your local news at a glance for Monday, the 25th of August.
Good morning, Rexburg.
💼 Business
A new restaurant called Cozy Subs opened earlier this week in Ririe, serving breakfast and lunch from 317 Main Street and earning over $1,700 by Saturday close.
Owners Marcye Gifford and Jullie Hill plan a grand opening on Sept. 27 and will add new menu items soon—drawing on local support.
🌲 Environment
Clark County Emergency Manager Sheree Farr warned hunters that stage 1 fire restrictions on eastern Idaho public lands and burn bans in many counties have been in effect since Aug 7 until Sept 30—rules that bar campfires, fire use, and smoking outside designated sites.
She urged hunting and camping enthusiasts to follow the guidelines to help avoid wildfires during very dry conditions.
📰 Lifestyle
Residents in Rexburg can protect ripening fruit from wasps by building a homemade trap using a plastic bottle—cutting off the top, inverting it to form a funnel—and baiting it with fruit juice, water, yeast, and dish soap placed in sunny areas.
This method helps reduce wasp activity around fruit trees.
🏈 Sports
Advocates are urging the IHSAA to consider officially sanctioning boys volleyball since 36 states already support the sport and over 100 local schools have teams, a move supported by Madison coach Keanu Pukahi.
He pointed to Utah’s recent adoption—allowing the sport to play in the spring without clashing with girls volleyball—as a model for Idaho.
