It can sometimes feel like the world has moved on from Ukraine. But the war is urgent for volunteers at Meridian’s Full Gospel Slavic Church. @Scutlz_1 reports, with video by @SmillerPhoto. Watch the second, provided video of the violinist too - it's moving.

I wrote about Idaho’s physicians — how many we have, how many we need and how many we’re losing because of state policy that interferes with the ‘sacrosanct’ doctor-patient relationship. https://t.co/xoPXCiZTxI

Is the government aiming at the wrong target with its Kroger-Albertsons supermarket-merger lawsuit? Here's what Albertsons says https://t.co/QB3SSUeHyz

@meridak @marialaganga It was my pleasure to be @marialaganga's editor for her brief (about 10-month) stint at the Idaho Statesman in 2018 before the @latimes lured her back. She was a superb reporter who attacked the phones, grasped complexities quickly, and wrote fast yet with grace and style.

Suddenly, eyes all over Idaho turned to the shocking news at the Boise Airport. Suddenly, the Jackson Jet Center was the center of attention. https://t.co/1G572zfxRU

[Boise Fire Dept. @BoiseFire]

Emergency responders are on scene of a reported building collapse at W. Rickenbacker St. and Luke Street. There are reports of multiple injuries.  The Boise Airport is not impacted. More information will be available here as it is confirmed.

If you're a longtime Treasure Valley resident and haven't read this @latimes story yet, you're going to want to. It's now on our site. https://t.co/fLP9QW4DMY

After months of campaigning, it's over. Brad Pike has dethroned Jason Pierce for mayor of Eagle.

With all precincts reporting, Pike brought in 5,444 votes (55.2%) to Pierce's 4,427 (44.8%).

[Nick Rosenberger @njrosenberger]

First batch of results from early voters are in and they put Pike ahead of Pierce.

Pike has received 2,418 votes, or 67.1%, so far while Pierce has gathered 1,184 votes, or 32.9%.

[Nick Rosenberger @njrosenberger]

All right it's showtime. Polls just closed for the Eagle mayor runoff election. The race pits incumbent mayor Jason Pierce against City Council President Brad Pike as the city continues to face a growing population.

Will be updating as the night wears on with @IdahoStatesman
