EDUCATION NEWS

- ➤ North Idaho College started a new culinary arts sous-chef apprenticeship program — it works with local restaurants to give students real kitchen experience that goes beyond classroom learning. Students who finish the program will earn an Associate of Applied Science degree — they can then take the Certified Sous Chef exam, and applicants must have a high school diploma or GED plus six months of food service experience.

ENVIRONMENT NEWS
- ➤ Idaho’s fire season is underway and is expected to be busy because a wet spring made a lot of grass grow that is now dry and ready to burn. A fire near Lewiston burned 250 acres early this month (with fire potential rising in July and August) and officials plan to add more detection cameras (and an improved lightning system) to help firefighters respond faster. Big Country News
- ➤ Firefighting crews are working on a 151-acre Post Fire in the Nez Perce and Clearwater National Forests near US-12 14 miles west of Powell Junction, with 317 personnel protecting the highway, hot springs, and recreation areas. Officials say drivers should not stop along the highway to watch the work—stopping may block emergency access and create safety hazards. Dailyfly
GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories is planning a hangar at Lewiston Airport for two corporate jets to avoid Washington State taxes and to base a new G600 aircraft—worth about $60 million—along with its already owned G550. City and county officials reported at a joint meeting on Monday that the airport faces a $660,981 budget deficit partly due to lost United Airlines service. Dailyfly
- ➤ Idaho Gov. Brad Little and the Idaho State Board of Examiners approved a $300,000 request Tuesday to reimburse state police for transporting convicted inmates who lack legal status—these individuals will be sent to ICE detention centers instead of returning to the community. The funding now clears the way for the first transports to begin and supports Idaho’s partnership with ICE for immigration enforcement. Dailyfly
