TREASURE VALLEY, Idaho — These are a few of the things going on today in your neighborhood:
ISP WATER SURVIVAL TRAINING
- Idaho State Police conducting an important water survival training for recruits today in Meridian.
- Most water in Idaho is cold year round and ISP says recruits must understand their limits and abilities if a vehicle ever becomes submerged, like that unfortunate recent incident on Hwy 55.
- It also brings the next generation of state troopers one step closer to graduation and they're also accepting recruits for the next class which begins in January.
HWY 21 CLOSURE
- Hwy 21 north of Grandjean is closed starting today.
- Mudslides continue to plague the roadway, especially in that area burned by last year's massive Wapiti Fire.
- The highway had reopened after a slide Tuesday morning, but with more rain in the forecast, ITD has decided to shut the roadway.
- It's expected to reopen by next Wednesday.
BOISE FILM FESTIVAL
- And the Boise Film Festival kicks off today for its highly anticipated return running through the weekend.
- Today's schedule includes a lineup of several short films screening at the historic Egyptian Theatre.
- Tickets are on sale now, and showtime starts at 7 p.m.
