The College of Southern Idaho would like to thank Arlen Blaylock, Chief Operating Officer/CNO, and Brett Hobde, Project Manager, at St. Luke's Magic Valley Regional Medical Center for a donation of 20 crash carts, or code carts, to the CSI Health Sciences and Human Services department. The carts are equipped with supplies needed when attempting to save a life during CPR and will replace toolboxes that students are currently using in the Patient Simulation Lab.
"St. Luke's Magic Valley's continued support of our Health Sciences and Human Services students is invaluable. It is donations like this that help bring to life the experiences we strive to create for our students in the Patient Simulation Lab. I am extremely grateful to have a partnership that supports CSI students and faculty in the education of future healthcare workers," said Joel Peacock, CSI Patient Simulation Lab Coordinator.
St. Luke's Magic Valley Regional Medical Center is a partner on nearly all CSI advisory boards hosted by the CSI Health Sciences and Human Services department. Partnerships and donations from the community allow students to experience lifelike training during simulations, which is something students can carry on into the workforce upon graduation. A sincere thanks goes out to St. Luke's Magic Valley Regional Medical Center for an opportunity such as this for CSI students.

January 31 at 7:30 p.m. in the CSI Fine Arts Auditorium
West Coast violinist Kimberlee Dray meets Slovakian pianist Peter Fancovic in New York City to rehearse. The duo truly represents the fusion of East and West, characterizing their program spanning Prokofiev to Gershwin. While Peter earned his Master's of Music in Piano Performance from the Manhattan School of Music, Kimberlee studied under famed Soviet violinist Nina Beilina. The merging of cultures informs their collaboration, making this recital of Soviet and American repertoire a particularly rewarding adventure as evidence of the power of music to unite cultures and people. An active recitalist, Kimberlee has performed across the United States and Peter is a much sought after soloist and collaborator, having performed in venues such as Concertgebouw, with Orquesta Sinfonica Nacional de Cuba and many others.
General Admission Tickets: Adults - $10 / Seniors $8 / Students $6. Contact Sue Miller at smiller@csi.edu for more information or tickets.

New Planetarium Show - Volcanoes: The Fires of Creation
|
Every rock tells a story. Many of the rocks across southern Idaho tell a story of a landscape sculpted by volcanic activity. Volcanoes intrigue us with their incredible power and potential to cause mass destruction. Beginning December 26, residents of southern Idaho can gain a better appreciation and understanding for volcanoes when the Faulkner Planetarium opens the giant screen film Volcanoes: The Fires of Creation.
Witness the incredible tale of the birth of our planet in which volcanoes played a crucial role. Then step into the present and follow along as National Geographic photographer Carsten Peter takes you along on a personal journey to see volcanoes from the inside, revealing their hidden mysteries. Get up close to the 2018 eruption of Hawaii's Kilauea and watch as Carsten attempts to descend to a lava lake as it roils and churns, launching fountains of lava. Carsten's passion for volcanoes will grab you, thrill you, and scare you all at the same time. You may never want to get as close to an active volcano in real life as Carsten does, but you can go there with him from the safety of your seat in the planetarium.
Moviegoers will gain a new appreciation for the forces that created the stark beauty of Craters of the Moon, with its extinct splatter cones and plains of frozen lava, and other lava flows across southern Idaho. Every rock tells a story.
Planetarium manager Rick Greenawald says: "This is a stunning movie experience. The cinematography is beautiful and gives you a real appreciation for the power of volcanoes. Carsten Peter's passion for volcanoes shines through and adds a human element to the story. I am certain that audiences of all ages will enjoy this film."
Opening week show times are 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, and again at 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. The week of December 31, showings will be at 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and again at 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Starting the week of January 5, showings will be at 7 p.m. Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays and at 2:30 p.m. on Saturdays throughout the month of January. Admission prices to the planetarium are $6 adults (18 to 59), $5 seniors (60+), $4 children (2 to 17) and CSI students with a valid student ID, children under the age of 2 are admitted free.
Located in the Herrett Center for Arts and Science on the College of Southern Idaho campus in Twin Falls, ID, the Faulkner Planetarium is the premiere planetarium in Idaho. Public shows are offered on Tuesday and Friday evenings and Saturday afternoons and evenings throughout the academic year. Expanded public show schedules are offered during the summer and holiday season.
