With Guileless CheerBy Steve CarrMy two year-old niece navigates life backwards. That’s right. Her parents strap her in a back seat of the car, facing backwards.

In 1865 the tiny island on the Snake River hosted the spot where explorer and entrepreneur Matt Taylor built a toll bridge across a deep-water channel, at once defining a new center of commerce that would become Idaho Falls. Originally a toll station, the island quickly added a red light district and became known as Soiled Dove Island.

One Thing Leads to AnotherBy Steve CarrMy eight-year-old grandson Ben hopes to be a professional dancer/marketer/pollster and TV game show superstar when he grows up. Frankly, I think his odds are better than average for a dream-come-true scenario. He’s got the moves. Just ask the four thousand hockey fans who cheered him on when he appeared on the Dance Cam at a recent Idaho Falls Spud Kings game.
