Our latest issue of Vitality is here, and with it another treasure trove of good advice. For women, these tests are all vital to preventing disease.
Did you know you CAN CONTROL BLOOD PRESSURE? Many people think it's something you just live with. Not so. Changes in lifestyle and medications (that are one of the very cheapest and most effective of the pharmaceuticals) can prevent heart disease and stroke. There are many places, such as Fred Meyers and Walmart, where you can quickly and easily monitor your blood pressure and check to see if your numbers show you are at risk. Talk to your physician if you have any concerns.
Additional considerations aging women would include Hepatitis C testing for baby boomers, osteoporosis screening, and a shingles vaccination - especially now that a new vaccine, Shingrix, that is over 90% effective is now available. Even if you had the Zostavax previously, SelectHealth will fully cover the new vaccination for those 50 and over.

April 25 - 28 and May 2, 3, and 5 7:30 p.m. in the CSI Fine Arts Theater
"Blood will have blood".... The CSI Theater Department, in collaboration with CSI Dance and Music, present a modernization and reimagining of Shakespeare's most exciting play, Macbeth. With original compositions, choreography, and design, we will explore the themes of vengeance, ambition, violence and the roles of men and women in our culture. This is not the traditional Shakespeare you experienced in English class. You will experience a fast-paced, visually exciting, spectacle as Macbeth and Lady Macbeth murder their way to the crown pushed onward by the supernatural, led into the depths of guilt and insanity by their violent and vaulting ambition. Tickets: $10/adults or $5/seniors or students. CSI students are free.

Ages: 6-8
Dates: June 5-6, June 7-8, August 7-8, or August 9-10, 2018
Times: 9-11 a.m.
Fee: $50
Location: CSI Fine Arts 164
In Little Robotitions Robotics Camp, younger students will learn new skills in science, engineering, technology, and coding using the LEGO we do 2.0 robotics kits and software. In this camp, students learn the important 21st century skill of programming the intuitive way - by bringing their adorable creations to life. What parents love and the students don't realize is they are also sharpening computational thinking skills like logical reasoning, pattern recognition, and modeling simulations. In Little Robotitions Robotics Camp, children are empowered to ask the right questions, define problems, and design their own solutions by putting scientific discovery in their own hands. They'll also learn gracious professionalism from the valley's own award-winning 5026 Tesla Coils FTC Robotics Team. Class sizes are limited to 10 kids per session.

The Political Science State and Local Government class at the College of Southern Idaho is hosting an event centered on the upcoming State and Local Elections at the college in Taylor Building upstairs from 12:00 to 1:30 p.m., on Monday, May 7, 2018. This is intended as an opportunity for faculty, staff, students, and community members to learn more about local politics and candidates. Our class believes that local politics can have an even greater impact on our lives than national issues.
The event is not going to be a standard debate or forum; it will instead allow candidates a chance to simply sit down with constituents and speak openly to them in a small group format-think candidate speed dating! The college will be providing pizza and drinks for the event, and all candidates are encouraged to bring their campaign materials with them for the attendees.
We hope to see you at the event! Please direct any questions to CSI Professor Perri Gardner.
