Community Notes

Bancroft

The City of Bancroft would like residents to be aware that from Dec 9-12, the Southeast Idaho Council of Governments will be in Bancroft going door to door doing a household income survey. The purpose of the survey is to show the local needs and enhance the chances of Bancroft getting grants for improvements.  The survey takers should identify themselves as such, and of course the survey is optional but very helpful to the city.

Soda Springs

The Assembly of God church in Soda Springs—the Open Arms Church—invites everyone to a special Christmas Eve service at its building 11 South Hooper Avenue, at 7:00 p.m. on Christmas Even.  “We will celebrate the birth of the Savior Who is ‘The Perfect Light Who came and shattered the darkness,’ Jesus out Lord and Savior,” said Carol Alworth representing the church.  Fellowship will follow the service.  Carol Alworth can be reached at 208-201-0621 with

Reminder that when snow is falling, parking curbside creates problems for snow removal vehicles, and can possibly lead to damage for vehicles.  If possible, park vehicles overnight in garages, or off plowed streets in order to leave room for plows to operate safely.  Residents in many areas are also encouraged to leave a small stream of water running through any pipes that are subject to potential freezing.
