College of Southern Idaho students who are seeking an agriculture-related degree, including a few who may not have even been born yet, have a new friend. Bob Dickenson has donated $1.6 million to the CSI Foundation with the stipulation that it all be used for financial assistance to students pursuing agriculture degrees. It's one of the largest gifts the college has ever received.
Debra Wilson, CSI Foundation Executive Director, says Dickenson was impressed with CSI's ag program when she met him in 2012. He began making major gifts to the Foundation at that time, instructing CSI to award all of the funds to students currently enrolled in ag programs. As his partnership and friendship with the college grew over the next five years, he chose to establish a trust that would continue to benefit students at CSI after his death. What makes this gift unusual, said Wilson, is that Mr. Dickenson wants the entire amount, plus interest, to be distributed to students. Many donors choose to provide endowments, which means the Foundation is allowed to use only the interest earned and not the original gift itself.
"Bob said he didn't want a building named for him or any other honor," said Wilson. "He just wanted his money to go to students for the next 20 years. Including anticipated interest over the life of the donation, the Dickenson gift will provide a total of approximately $2.5 million, or more through scholarship disbursements of $128-thousand per year to ag degree-seeking students."
CSI's Ag Department Chair, Barry Pate, is working with the Foundation to create long-standing strategies to recruit and help ag students over the next 20 years. "We have never had an opportunity like this. We would like to set up some competitive scholarship opportunities that are tied to students' financial needs as well as to student leadership training and other activities," said Pate.
Dickenson died in 2016. He and and his wife, Ellie, were longtime ranchers from the Reno, Nevada area. In addition to the gift to CSI, the Bob and Ellie Dickenson Trust also provides a similar amount to the University of Nevada, Reno, for graduate-level agriculture degrees.
The College of Southern Idaho was founded as a comprehensive community college with a strong connection to the community's agriculture base, said CSI instructional dean and former ag department chair Terry Patterson. "It seem fitting that this very generous gift target students seeking agriculture education pathways. Mr. Dickenson obviously recognized the quality of our Agriculture Department and trusted the CSI Foundation to further help student with his gift,"
Students who are considering pursuing higher education in any of the agriculture programs offered at CSI are invited to contact Barry Pate at 208-732-6415 or at [email protected]

Welcome to fall semester. By now, you've started to figure out what your semester will look like. For some of your students college is new and exciting, for others this is their last year here and they're wondering about the options they have moving forward. The Alumni Association has started an alumni mentor program. Life is all about making connections and sharing passions. The Alumni Mentor Program is used to connect current students at CSI to an alumni with common interests. This is a great way for your students to get insight on their major, classes, and future career in their field.
If you know of a student who might be interested have them fill out
this form and email it to
[email protected], or drop it off in Taylor 119.

We have many opportunities to recycle on the College of Southern Idaho campus. By recycling we reduce our carbon footprint and the waste that goes into our landfills. You can recycle paper, cardboard, aluminum cans, tin cans, and numerous types of plastics. The CSI Welding Department recycles used steel to reduce program costs. As the chief recycling collector for the College of Southern Idaho I have had the opportunity to give second life to many products on campus. Our STEM program has used aluminum cans and 2-liter bottles
in experiments and I have used cardboard boxes for moving and storage.
If you have any questions about recycling feel free to contact me ([email protected]) or any of the Sustainability Council members.
Let's continue to work together to keep our carbon footprint low and our campus beautiful!

The CSI Foundation is preparing our Annual Report to send out to the community. We have decided to make the centerfold a photographic representation of "CSI in a day." To do that WE NEED YOUR HELP.
On
Wednesday September 13, 2017 we are asking all CSI Employees and Students to take a picture of what they are doing at some point during the day. (Action shots are the most exciting.) After you take your picture please email it to me at [email protected]. You can also upload your pictures on any social media platform using #CSIFound.
Please mark your calendars and plan on sharing a moment (or two) with us on Wednesday September 13.

We had another successful summer with the Bridge to Success Program. If you haven't heard this an intensive ten-week summer program that provides first time, degree-seeking students a head start in their transition to CSI. The program introduces students to the academic expectations of CSI, specifically for degrees that require challenging first-semester coursework in math. Moreover, the program develops 21st century skills that are essential in the classroom and in the workplace, promotes community engaged learning, familiarizes students to valuable campus resources to increase student success, and fosters social and academic relationships with peers, faculty, and staff.

Tickets are available for Chicago - the Musical, a co-production of The CSI Community Education Center, The Dilettante Group of the Magic Valley, and Magic Valley Little Theater. Performances will take place Wednesday through Saturday, October 4 - 7, in the CSI Fine Arts Auditorium. Showtimes will be 7:30 nightly with a 2:00 p.m. matinee. Tickets are $14 and can be purchased at tickets.csi.edu, at the CSI Box Office, or by calling 732-6288.
Chicago was nominated in 1975 Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, and Best Original Score and won the 1997 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical. In roaring twenties Chicago, chorine Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband Amos to take the rap...until he finds out he's been duped and turns on Roxie. Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and another "Merry Murderess" Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the "American Dream": fame, fortune and acquittal. This sharp edged satire features a dazzling score that sparked immortal staging by Bob Fosse.
This production, directed by CSI's Shane Brown, features Camille Barigar as Roxie Hart, Johanna Stagge as Velma Kelly, Dusty Blackburn as Billy Flynn, Lori Henson as Matron Mama Morton, and Blake Burton as Amos Hart. The show also features choreography by Keesha Olander, musical direction by Lori Henson, and costume design by James Haycock.

Ask someone how many planets there are in the Solar System and-depending on their age-they'll likely answer either eight or nine. While most adults grew up in a world with nine planets, since 2006 schoolchildren have learned that Pluto is too small and different to qualify for the planet club. Pluto's reclassification came on the heels of astronomer Mike Brown's 2005 discovery of Eris, a similar icy dwarf beyond Neptune that forced astronomers to carefully consider what is-and isn't-a planet. With over 1000 Kuiper Belt objects sharing Pluto's and Eris's orbital realm, their planetary status vanished in the wake of astronomical discovery. Pluto and Eris were labeled dwarf planets, and Mike Brown became known as the "Pluto Killer." Now, Brown could be ready to rewrite the textbooks again.
Planet Nine, the latest show debuting in the Faulkner Planetarium, examines the possibility that a large, yet-undiscovered planet orbits at the icy fringes of the Solar System. Brown and his collaborator, Konstantin Batygin, theorize that the gravity of an unseen, Neptune-sized world, whose orbit spans tens of millennia, may explain the puzzling motions of Pluto's most distant Kuiper Belt cousins. What is their evidence? Does it really point to the possible existence of a ninth planet? How soon might Planet Nine be found?
Planet Nine details Brown's search for a needle in a very big haystack, with only scant clues hinting at where to look, and offers a glimpse of the challenges and strategies of modern astronomical research.
Planet Nine, a production of America's first planetarium, Chicago's Adler Planetarium, features narration by Mike Brown detailing the search for a dim, dark, and distant world beyond Neptune.
Located in the Herrett Center for Arts and Science on the College of Southern Idaho campus in Twin Falls, the Faulkner Planetarium is Idaho's largest, serving the public for nearly 22 years by proudly bringing some of the world's finest planetarium shows to south central Idaho audiences.
Planetarium admission is $6.00 for adults, $5.00 for seniors, and $4.00 for students, including CSI students with a valid student ID. Children under age 2 are admitted free.
Planet Nine opens September 5
th with showings on Tuesdays and Fridays at 7:00 PM, and Saturdays at 2:30 PM and 7:00 PM throughout September. The show will remain on the public schedule when show times change October 1
st.

War victims, refugees, and orphans made an impact on the life of Jim Jones during his deployment to Vietnam in 1968-69. Those observations became the foundation for many more experiences throughout Jones's life, which recently included being Chief Justice of the Idaho Supreme Court. The Herrett Forum welcomes Jones as its first speaker of the new school year season at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 12. His topic is 'A Perspective on the World's Huddled Masses.'
Jones will explain why he believes the United States should keep its doors open to refugees and immigrants and why we have a responsibility to provide refuge to war victims and those who endanger their lives by helping U.S. troops. He argues that it's in our national interest to welcome legal immigrants and to help them become productive citizens.
Doors open at 7 p.m. and the event begins at 7:30. The Herrett Forum is a series of presentations held the second Tuesday of each month September through November and February through May. No tickets are required for this free public lecture. The Herrett Center for Arts and Science is located on the north side of the College of Southern Idaho campus at the North College Road entrance.

 Several works from one of southern Idaho's best-known artists will be on display for two months at the Herrett Center for Arts and Science.
'LaVar Steel - Highlights From the Permanent Collection' will be displayed in the Herrett Center's Jean B. King Gallery from Sept. 12 through Nov. 25. Steel was one of the first employees hired by CSI's founder, Dr. James Taylor, in 1965. At first, he taught almost all the art classes offered by the new college and eventually went on to chair the art department. Steel retired in 1997 and died in 2016.
"LaVar was a Renaissance Man," said Mike Green, one of Steel's first employees and an eventual art department chair himself. "He did it all, including construction, welding, casting, all types of art, and repairing whatever was broken. He even built CSI's first pottery kilns before we could afford to buy them. I can't think of much LaVar couldn't do."
Steel's artworks include pottery, paintings, and mixed media. He donated dozens of pieces to the Herrett Center over the years. Exhibit Manager Joey Heck says approximately 20 to 25 pieces, some of which are quite large, will be in the display.
A free public reception will be held to kick off the event between 7 and 9 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 12 in the Jean B. King Gallery. For more information, please contact the Herrett Center at 208-732-6655 or visit the website at www.csi.edu/herrett.

AARP: One-third of adults have prediabetes, but most don't know it.
Who is at risk?
The biggest risk factors are obesity and a sedentary lifestyle, says Gregg Simonson, director of professional training and consulting at the International Diabetes Center in St. Louis Park, Minn. Genetics is important as well: Even lean folks who have a strong family history of diabetes can get prediabetes. The American Diabetes Association offers a test that assesses your risk.
Why does prediabetes risk increase around age 45?
The cells of your body require insulin to absorb glucose, which they need in order to function. If you're younger and you suffer from insulin resistance (a condition in which your cells have a harder time absorbing glucose), your more vigorous pancreas can usually compensate for the problem by manufacturing more insulin. But your pancreas becomes less effective with age, explains dietitian Hillary Wright, director for nutrition counseling for the Domar Center for Mind/Body Health in Waltham, Mass. That could cause more glucose to accumulate in the bloodstream.
What are the obvious symptoms of prediabetes?
There aren't any. And even though roughly 1 in 3 American adults have prediabetes, 90 percent of those people don't know it, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). That's why you should get screened starting at age 45. If you have major risk factors, such as obesity and family history, you should get tested even sooner.
"Screen early and screen annually," Simonson says. "If there are no other risk factors, you can probably do it every three years."

AARP Bulletin, September 2017
One quote from this Q&A article with Billie Jean King caught my complete attention:
"Girls are taught to be perfect. Boys are taught to be brave-"Stop crying." That's why girls never think they are good enough; it's the message we get from the day we're born. It drives me insane the way we're socialized. The most important thing is to be your authentic self. Meritocracy is important. That's one great thing about sports-it is objective. You either win or lose."
What do you think? Are girls taught to be perfect and boys to be brave? Is sports unique in leveling the playing field between merit and gender?

According to the CDC, "An annual seasonal flu vaccine is the best way to reduce your risk of getting sick with seasonal flu and spreading it to others. When more people get vaccinated against the flu, less flu can spread through that community." It is especially important to protect children under six months who are not eligible for the flu vaccine.
There are many places in our community to get a flu shot that is covered 100% by SelectHealth, but finding the vaccination without copay or administration fee is more limited. For the most cost-saving options we recommend you visit your pharmacy or, for benefited employees and spouses age 18 and over, you may attend a flu clinic provided by St. Luke's on our Twin Falls Main Campus.
Thursday, October 5, from 3 - 4:30 in HEP 176
Tuesday, October 10, from 8:30 - 10 a.m. in TAB 247
