| Dinosaurs at Dust: The Origins of Flight |
The Faulkner Planetarium announces the opening of a brand new show just in time for the holiday school break. Dinosaurs at Dusk: the origins of flight is a fantasy trip back to the Mesozoic Era. Mysteriously journey roughly 250 million years into the past with Lucy, where she meets her father and together they explore the rise of feathered dinosaurs and pterosaurs, the largest creatures ever to take wing. Traveling from continent to continent and through the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods, the pair race across 165 million years of prehistoric time to discover the origins of flight before the dinosaurs meet their demise through the impact of a giant asteroid, 65 million years ago. Will they succeed? Can they themselves survive the asteroid impact that devastated the Earth and finished off the dinosaurs? Will Lucy find her way back to the present time? The adventure awaits!
Dinosaurs at Dusk opens Tuesday, December 26 in Idaho's largest planetarium, the Faulkner. The planetarium has an expanded slate of public show times on tap for the weeks after Christmas and New Year's, when most area school districts are closed for the holiday break. In addition to the regular public show times on Tuesday and Friday evenings and Saturdays, the planetarium will have three shows each afternoon Tuesday through Friday at 1:30, 2:30 and 3:30 PM during the period. Dinosaurs at Dusk will show at 1:30 and 3:30 PM Tuesday through Saturday and at 7:00 PM Tuesday, Friday and Saturday. Beginning January 9, the program will show at 7:00 PM Tuesdays and Fridays and at 1:30, 3:30, and 7:00 PM on Saturdays.
Planetarium Manager Rick Greenawald says of Dinosaurs at Dusk, "We are very pleased to be able to bring this program to the residents of south central Idaho. This fast-paced romp will appeal to a broad range of ages, everyone from young, dinosaur crazy, kids to their parents and those with a general interest in dinosaurs should find this an enjoyable show. It is a family friendly program."
Located in the Herrett Center for Arts and Science on the College of Southern Idaho campus in Twin Falls, ID, the Faulkner Planetarium has been bringing quality programs to the public for over 22 years. Admission prices to planetarium shows are $6.00 adults, $5.00 seniors, $4.00 student, including CSI students with a valid student ID; children under age 2 admitted free.
For more information, including a movie trailer, visit the Herrett Center's web page at http://herrett.csi.edu.
Please note: Due to the holiday closure at the College of Southern Idaho, media requests need to be directed to Rick Greenawald before 12:00 PM, Friday, December 22 in order to ensure a response before the opening of this program.

The City of Twin Falls is encouraging residents to prepare for winter weather conditions that may include significant snowfall, sustained freezing temperatures, and the potential for isolated flooding. Preparing homes now can greatly reduce the
likelihood
of costly property damage, as well as health and safety concerns, when winter weather conditions arrive.
Homeowners are strongly encouraged to do the following:
- Leave a small trickle of water running from one faucet on each floor your home. Water movement - even a small amount - significantly reduces the potential for frozen or broken waterlines.
- Ensure that lids to water meters (typically located between the street and residence) are closed and exterior access to crawl spaces are covered. Aside from frozen water meters, the second largest cause of blocked or broken waterlines in homes are in crawl spaces where cold air can pass through.
- Insulate and cover any exposed or exterior pipes and faucets. Pipes and faucets on the exterior of homes are especially susceptible to freezing. Exterior pipes and faucets can be easily - and affordably - insulated with heat tape and faucet covers that are available at most hardware stores.
In the event of significant snowfall, residents are asked to do the following:
- Locate the storm water drain nearest your residence. (typically located along the curbing or gutters on city streets) Storm drains can freeze during significant snowfall and freezing temperatures, which can create isolated flooding in streets. When clearing snow, please DO NOT put snow or ice on the storm water drains. If drains become clogged or frozen, you can help by clearing snow or ice from the drain.
- During significant snowfall and freezing temperatures, wet snow and ice can accumulate on flat or low-pitched roofs. Ensure that there is not significant snow or ice accumulation on roofs that can increase the risk of roof collapse.
- When clearing snow from driveways, sidewalks, and walkways, please move snow to grassy or other permeable landscaped areas. This will help the snow melt into the ground and help avoid overwhelming the city storm water drains.
Indication of a Frozen or Broken Water Line:
- Ice forming on or around exterior faucets and pipes may indicate a leak or burst pipe
- Reduced water pressure or sporadic 'burst' of air coming from faucets or showers, which is often an indicator of air entering a broken or unsealed pipe
- Sudden and unexpected spikes in water usage can be caused by a broken waterline under the home or at the water meter. Please check your water bill monthly for usage
Homeowners who have concerns or issues with water delivery, are encouraged to call City of Twin Falls Utility Services at 208-735-7249 or 208-735-7249. If customers experiencing issues with water deliver after business hours or on weekends, they are encouraged to call the City of Twin Falls non-emergency line at 208-735-4357.
