COMMUNITY NEWS
- ➤ Local law enforcement officers from Lewiston PD, Nez Perce Tribal PD, and Nez Perce County Sheriff's Office bagged groceries at Lewiston Grocery on April 14th to raise donations for the Special Olympics.

ACCIDENTS NEWS
- ➤ At 11:17 a.m. April 15th, the Lewiston Fire Department responded to a garage fire on the 300 block of 16th avenue—fire crews extinguished the blaze that spread into the loft and caused about $15,000 in damage with no injuries reported. Big Country News
EDUCATION NEWS
- ➤ Lewis-Clark State College may soon become Lewis-Clark State University as the board will meet this week to discuss the change. The new name will not alter daily operations but requires sign updates at a cost under $50,000—reflecting its history since it began as Lewiston State Normal School in 1899. KLEW
GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ Idaho governor Brad Little — who backs the Make America Healthy Again effort — signed House Bill 109 banning SNAP purchases of candy and soda today, and the law will take effect on July 1 once a USDA waiver is secured. Some legislators expressed concerns about the impact on small grocery stores and debated what counts as candy and soda. KLEW
- ➤ The governor signed a bill that now lets drugstores sell ivermectin over the counter. Lawmakers pushed the bill without input from health experts—drugstores still cannot sell it without an FDA label. KLEW
- ➤ The City of Lewiston has contracted with Kenaston, Leone and Keeble Group, LLC (KLK) to replace the downtown water transmission main along 3rd Street and D Street starting the week of April 21 and finishing by June.
