Because of your contributions in 2017, we’ve impacted more lives, dreamed bigger dreams, fed more children and inspired more laughter and smiles. I am pleased to share the 2017 Boys & Girls Clubs of Magic Valley annual report with you. The purpose of this publication is to acknowledge the many wonderful people and organizations who make great experiences possible for our Club kids. Together we have CHANGED LIVES. As an organization, we make a promise to our kids that we’ll be there every step of the way, from kindergarten through graduation. We believe every child deserves every opportunity to succeed, despite their circumstances.

It is our commitment to you that these investments are used efficiently and effectively to meet the true needs of our community and kids in a manner that is sustainable for future generations. On behalf of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Magic Valley, thank you for your support and dedication. Sincerely, Lindsey Westburg Gregg Middlekauff Executive Director OUR MISSION: To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens. Jordyn, a senior at Twin Falls High School, started attending the Club as a shy six-year-old girl. She remembers the sounds throughout the Club, the dodge ball game in the gym, freeze dance in the games room, and so many new and unfamiliar faces. She was fearful that her shy personality would be exposed. Those feelings soon faded away when she was welcomed by staff Bri. The Club soon became her second home. Jordyn attended the Club until she was nine-years-old and then returned at fourteen. When she came back, she felt lost as a person. Her friends wanted her to be somebody she wasn't and her family wanted her to play sports. She was being pulled in a million different directions with no sense of who she was. When she applied to work as a Jr. Staff, Jordyn was quickly reminded of where she was meant to be. The Club gave her purpose and taught her she could be whoever she wanted to be. She gained confidence in who she is and learned to love others who aren’t exactly like her. Jordyn has found passion in being a member of Keystone Club, planning #WeOwnFridays and organizing her local SMART Girls conference. These opportunities have helped her engage in A special thank you to the Uhlig Foundation for their generous support of our Youth of the Year her community. Jordyn plans to attend the Program! Since 2010, the Uhlig Foundation has University of Idaho to pursue a degree in contributed over $82,000 towards Youth of The elementary education, giving her the Year Scholarships and Teen Programs. opportunity to continue making a difference in the lives of youth for many years to come. “I continue to be impressed with the organization and planning for age-appropriate activities and methods of relating to children. I believe this provides for the growth of present and future responsible citizens. The emotional and social development takes a high priority in their programming, as well as respecting individual interests and values.” —Connie Jones, Grandparent WHO WE ARE The Boys & Girls Clubs of Magic Valley served 3,000 youth in 2017 at our Twin Falls & Buhl locations.

We realize our members have individual needs based on their age. During the school year, the most dangerous time for youth is between 3 and 6pm, Monday through Friday. These are the hours when they are most likely to be a victim or instigator of a crime. It is the time when they could be experimenting with drugs or engaging in risky behavior. The reason is simple: many parents work and a lot of teens have no structured place to go during non-school hours. We provide a variety of opportunities, responsibilities, and education for our members ages 13-18. Some of the FREE activities our teens get to participate in during the school year as well as summer include: Life Skills Career Exploration Disc Golf Weekly Teen Nights Community Service Kahn Coding Free Meals Fishing Robotics College Readiness DIY Projects Swimming Leadership Training Photography Geocaching Healthy Lifestyles Swimming Athletics Financial Literacy Gardening The Arts The 3rd annual SMART Girls Conference was held in November. The conference was designed for young ladies ages 11-18 and focused on empowering them to be their best selves. All of the girls were encouraged to bring their mom, guardian, aunt, grandma, or friend! The half-day conference had over 80 ladies in attendance. Our keynote speaker, Monique Middlekauff, started off the day leaving everyone feeling confident and empowered with her incredible speech.

  • The Twin Falls Water Story: More Growth, Less Use
    The Twin Falls Water Story: More Growth, Less Use In 1746 among the pages of Poor Richard’s Almanac, Benjamin Franklin noted astutely, “When the well is dry, we know the worth of water.” Those who are intimately involved in city planning can agree it’s best to not wait until the well is dry before understanding the many ways water sustains industry, commerce and the well-being of a population. The City of Twin Falls, Idaho, has made water management a priority for decades. As a result, groundwater consumption has gone down even as their population growth continues at a steady pace. The History of Twin Falls Water When exploring the dozens of waterfalls in the Magic Valley including the sprawling, thundering Shoshone Falls, it’s difficult to imagine the area as a parched desert. “The building of Milner Dam around 1900 is really what brought the City of Twin Falls to life,” said Brian Olmstead, general manager of the Twin Falls Canal Company. “It turned what was once a desert into the rich farmland that it is now.” The implementation of the Milner Dam and the subsequent canal system were an early result of the Carey Act of 1894. Also known as the Federal Desert Land Act, the act promoted cooperative ventures with private companies to establish irrigation systems that would allow large areas of semi-arid federal land to become agriculturally productive. The Milner Dam project provided water to nearly 200,000 acres on the south side of the Snake River. “The initial setup included irrigation shares and ditches that flowed to nearly every lot in town until about the 1960s,” Olmstead said.

M. Murray, demolished c .1946 OWNER: State of Idaho SIGNIFICANCE: The bridge was built by The Union Bridge Company of Portland, Oregon. It is a cantilever deck truss that rises 550 feet above the height of the River. At the time of construction it was reportedly the "highest" bridge in the world. HISTORIAN: Idaho Department of Transportation, 1977 TRANSMITTED BY: Gary Arabak, 1983 • Twin Falls-Jerome Bridge HAER ID-3 Page 2 PERRINE BRIDGE An unusual obstacle to travel disrupts communication across an otherwise open portion of the Snake river plains of southern Idaho. Immediately below Milner, the river descends into a narrow gorge that reaches a maximum depth of about 600 feet below Shoshone falls. Here the stream bec®mes unnavigable. Worse yet, roads and trails can cross the river at very few convenient spots. Travellers in the valley can come almost to the edge of the gorge without noticing that a large river is anywhere in the area. But aside from a spot above Murtaugh, no fairly easy grade could be constructed down both sides of the canyon to a bridge site for forty miles or more below Milner.

    SOUTH CENTRAL IDAHO A PERFECT LOCATION FOR THE ADVENTURINGADVENTURING SPIRIT | OFFICIAL IDAHO STATE TRAVEL GUIDE TRAVEL | OFFICIAL STATE IDAHO 54 Snake River Early settlers found the Snake River Plain a bit too dry for their taste, so they set about building a dam and irrigation canals along the Snake River. These structures so dramatically changed the landscape—turning arid, cracked soil into fertile agricultural fields—that the area became known as the “Magic Valley.” Everywhere you look, you’ll see evidence of the earth’s forces at work: deep canyons, high bluffs, unusual rock formations, and even lava flows. Sure, this area is a geologist’s dream, but its terrain also delivers big fun for the adventurer in you. The Snake River is at the heart of the valley’s recreation, inviting you to swim, raft, speedboat, and paddle its waters, and BASE jump and zip-line into its stunning canyon. The river’s reservoirs are pristine destinations for camping, hunting, and fishing—and are home to an abundance of big game and other wildlife. Throughout the region, see springs surge from within cliff walls and thundering waterfalls crash and churn into canyons. Wander through lava tubes, discover world-famous fossil beds, and eat homemade ice cream. Take a relaxing drive through Hagerman’s peaceful country- side and make your way to City of Rocks National Reserve, where granite columns and spires stand guard over a 500-acre windswept valley.

  • All Hazard Mitigation Plan Twin Falls County, Idaho
    2008 TWIN FALLS COUNTY ALL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN OCTOBER 15, 2008 Preface The Twin Falls County All Hazard Mitigation Plan was developed in late fall of 2006 through the spring of 2008. It contains information pertaining to the hazards and hazard vulnerabilities faced by Twin Falls County. This Plan is designed to interface with the State of Idaho Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan published in November 2004 and updated in November 2007. This Plan has been developed as the Twin Falls County All Hazards Mitigation Plan (AHMP) however; the Plan was developed by an integrated effort from representatives from many of the jurisdictions in Twin Falls County. Each City will therefore be asked to endorse the AHMP and in turn participate in implementation of the Plan as it applies to the hazards in their respective jurisdictions. Further updates of this Plan will seek to increase multi-jurisdiction involvement.
