Authorities say a worker at the University of Idaho was pinned for a time after a one-ton concrete block fell on his leg, trapping him at the school's wood-chip storage facility. The worker was able to use his cell phone or a radio to call for help after the accident Wednesday afternoon. Emergency workers were able to extricate the man using a fork lift and lift straps before transporting him to the local hospital.

Ada County was awarded a $1 million grant aimed at reforming the criminal justice system and reducing its jail population. The grant from the MacArthur Foundation's Safety and Justice Challenge will be paid out to Ada County over two years to fund eight new jobs to enable reform.

A federal judge says the U.S. Bureau of Land Management violated environmental law in its plan to sterilize a herd of wild horses in southwestern Idaho. U.S. District Judge Edward Lodge ruled last week the BLM failed to analyze consequences of the action and ordered the agency to reconsider its decision.

State wildlife authorities are trying to find out who poached a mule deer near the town of Melba.  An Idaho Fish and Game officer found the headless carcass of the large buck last weekend. Though the head was missing, no meat had been removed from the carcass.  The department asks anyone who has information to call Fish and Game or the Idaho State Police.

Police in northern Idaho say they are actively reviewing false flyers depicting racist images that target key leaders in Sandpoint.  Mailings have been distributed to businesses and residents falsely representing the views of Mayor Shelby Rognstad and his family.  "Idaho joins the rest of the nation and the world in condemning white-supremacist violence and bigotry of any kind," Governor Butch Otter said in a prepared statement.

The Interior Department says it is withdrawing protections for 10 million acres of federal lands used by the threatened sage grouse to open it up for energy development.  The plan would allow mining and other development in areas where it now is prohibited in six Western states: Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Wyoming.  The change comes as the Trump administration moves to reconsider an Obama-era plan to protect the ground-dwelling sage grouse, which has suffered dramatic population decline in recent decades.

Bottom of FormGarth Brooks: “The. Show. Must. Go. On.”

Music can be there in times with people need it most, and it has the power to heal.

Garth Brooks’ world tour continues Thursday night (Oct. 5) in Indianapolis. And so his advice to his fellow artists who are grappling with the fact that they have to take a stage so soon after the massacre in Las Vegas is to be there for the fans.

“Here’s the deal. This has been rough,” Brooks said in a new Facebook Live video. “I can’t imagine what went on out West. And I can’t imagine the artists that have gigs tonight. And I know you’re probably wondering what to do. Here’s my advice: The. Show. Must. Go. On. It just does.”  Brooks went on to explain that just like other professionals who are at their best when times are at their worst, musicians have the power to help ease the suffering.

“When things go bad, doctors go to work. When things go bad, policemen go to work. When things go bad, music and musicians go to work. They need you,” he said of collective group of millions of country fans. Fans who, he added, are always there to get away from it all, be joyous and sing.

“Things have gone bad,” Brooks said, “and they need music and the power of that healing.”

Nick Cannon has been off offending people again - and this time, it's the Catholics.  The comedian performed at New Jersey's Georgian Court University in Lakewood over their homecoming weekend, and did not give them the "NBC or MTV" version of his comedy as he promised he would in his contract.  Officials at Georgian Court say Cannon disregarded the terms of their  agreement and "crossed the line" with offensive words that do not represent the school's core values.  Nick Cannon isn't sorry.  Among other things, he Tweeted "I'm sorry your university doesn't believe in freedom of speech!!!"  I think before he tries the "Shock & aw" thing like he has a few times now, he should FIRST work on actually being funny.

 

And it's a big weekend at the box office, with a FEW highly-anticipated releases hitting the big screens.  First, 35 years after the original debuted, the Blade Runner sequel starring Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford is FINALLY opening up tonight.  This is Gosling's FIRST major Hollywood role.  Harrison Ford starred in the original Blade Runner, and this time will take the PASSENGER seat.   The family animated feature My Little Pony — based on the popular line of toys — hits theaters this weekend with an attractive voice cast featuring Emily Blunt, Uzo Aduba and Liev Schreiber.  And finally, The Mountain Between Us starring Idris Elba and Kate Winslet opens up tonight as well.  It's described as a prestige love story set against the backdrop of rural, snow-capped peaks.  To find out where you can catch what here in the Magic Valley, visit my blog at Hot100Now.com.
