INTO SPRING WITH CHUKARS

The Idaho Falls Chukars are ready for another exciting season in the Pioneer League. As a beloved team in Eastern Idaho, the Chukars draw a loyal fan base to Melaleuca Field, where the atmosphere is family-friendly

With a blend of returning veterans like Trevor Rogers and Jacob Jablonski and new acquisitions like pitcher Ricky Tibbett, the team is focused on building a competitive roster. The Chukars’ management aims to develop players while keeping an eye on postseason aspirations. Fans can expect a season of exciting baseball and community

Melaleuca Field remains the heart of the Chukars’ fan experience, offering affordable tickets and a welcoming environment. Throughout the season, the team hosts various events that connect with local supporters. As the season progresses, the Chukars will be working hard to remain contenders in the Pioneer League, with hopes of securing a playoff berth. The team’s strong community presence and dedication to winning make it an exciting time for fans in Idaho Falls.

Last year Mayor Jerry Merrill said, “The 4th of July holiday is a very exciting time and most of us love shooting off fireworks, but I will also lovingly remind you that it is only legal to shoot off fireworks on the night of the 4th and 24th of July.”

Idaho Falls’ Bureau of Land Management says improper use of fireworks is responsible for multiple wild land and structure fires every summer!

LEGALITIES

use “safe and sane” fireworks in gravel or asphalt areas, away from vegetation and buildings.

Safe and sane fireworks, or “non-aerial common fireworks,” remain near the ground and do not travel outside a 20-foot diameter.

Possessing and/or using fireworks on federal public lands (Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service)

Safe and sane fireworks include cone fountains, sparklers, wheels and whistles.

Anyone misusing fireworks can be held liable for damages. Damages often include the costs of putting out the fire.

Here’s how to survive

Move

Sleep in the living room under your sad window unit.

Stand in front of the freezer

Close your blinds during the day

Open your windows at night

Put a damp towel over your window

Run cold water over your wrists and neck before bed

Buy a fan for airflow

Pray for a breeze

Refrigerate your aloe vera before applying

Drink lots of water

Embrace the awkward tan lines

As the Spring season emerges and the warm sun kisses your skin, a setting to steal your own kisses becomes available: the hammock.

In what can be an awkward entanglement, nothing brings people closer together than hammocking. The difficult part, though, is not looking like a complete idiot in front of your cute hammock date.

HOW TO SMOOTHLY SLIDE INTO THE HAMMOCK

Confidence is key. You control whether or not you’re an awkward hammocker.

Avoid the shoulder-to-shoulder position. Too stiff. Too awkward. Guys, put that arm around the girl.

THE TWO HAMMOCK POSITIONS

For more dating advice... see page 16

The Peas in a Pod: four legs dangle over the front as you lean back.
The Cocoon: side by side fully immersed in the hammock.

SEVEN MUST-HAVES FOR A

As the weather warms up, many BYUI students begin planning their spring road trips.

From scenic drives to spontaneous stops at hidden gems, a road trip offers the freedom to explore at your own pace. With so many possible destinations, it can be easy to forget the essentials.

Here’s a list of seven must-have items that will keep you ready for whatever the road throws your way.

NATIONAL PARKS & MONUMENTS

Eastern Idaho allows for incredible access to national parks and monuments in Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana. These are perfect for day trips or camping.

YOUR GUIDE TO SIGHTINGS

WHAT IS A UFO?

A UFO is an Unidentified Flying Object, so it could really be anything. We all know that these are aliens spying on us. These extra-terrestrial spacecrafts could be anywhere, but how do you spot them?

HOW TO SPOT A UFO

Head out at night when the stars are visible. Idaho has a dark sky reserve in the Sawtooth National Forest, just northeast of Boise.

WHAT TO DO AT THE YOU COULD...

Looking to feel sand between your toes or find it in your shoes for weeks to come? The St. Anthony Sand Dunes are a mere 30-minute drive from Rexburg and work as a great day trip.

It’s a bit of a drive, but aliens love to hang out away from big cities like Rexburg.

Getting away from the hustle and bustle is your best chance to see a UFO. If you’ve been out all night and have only seen stars, don’t give up. Keep your eyes peeled.

This kind of thing takes patience, but the thrill of seeing a distant light flash across the night sky is well worth it. Was that a vessel of alien origin? Who’s to say?

Find the cave of wonders that has a magical genie lamp inside.

Brood with your friends about how you hate sand (it’s coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere)

Stargaze (or UFO-gaze).

Listen to the sick tunes of a pop-up concert.

Have a fire with friends (and burn any paper assignments your classes give you).

Experience sledding without the cold (ask the ORC about sand sleds).

Camp (there are 48 campsites, 26 of which can be reserved on recreation.gov).

AMPHITHEATER

Outside the MC, plenty of steps to sit on, sometimes music is playing, peak stock photo vibes.

SMITH PARK

Lots of amenities: tennis court, basketball hoop, playground, Veterans memorial, and gazebo. More isolated than Porter Park.

SOCCER FIELDS

Since it’s just fields, there isn’t much shade, and can get really hot. Great for bigger gatherings during the day or for doing homework. while watching soccer

NATURE PARK

Lots of ducks and fun trails. Right next to the airport. Sometimes smells like the waste plant that is nearby.

RICKS GARDENS

Most popular outdoor space on campus, pretty plants and trails to walk. Creation grounds of several engagements.

PORTER PARK

One of the most popular parks, always couples in hammocks, but you can always find something going on. BONUS: great sunset! views.

SPORI SOUTH QUAD

Big enough to play games on, always has some class doing an activity on it, kinda awkward to sit on because it’s in the middle of lots of buildings.

DAVID O. MCKAY LIBRARY
REXBURG TABERNACLE

MEET YOUR WORST PLACES TO PROPOSE

Say you want to pop the question. All you need to know now is where to actually pull that off. Here are the places to avoid, the five worst places to propose.

The BYU-Idaho Center, right after devotional

WHERE ON CAMPUS WILL YOU

A. A sunset hike at “R” Mountain

B. A friend’s game night!

C. A study session paired with deep convos

A. Going to Nature Park to take pictures of the ducks

This is beyond tacky, especially since proposing in public is a great way to put her under way too much pressure. Boring.

D. A visit to Great Scott’s and a drive around town

Anywhere in the Thomas E. Ricks Gardens

Any fast-food restaurant

Do we need to explain this? You know that this is a bad idea, and you know why. Just don’t do it.

The Crossroads

This just has a lot of problems. It’s boring, uninspired, and creatively bankrupt. Also, in public. You’re setting yourself up for failure.

The temple parking lot

Proposing on temple grounds is pretty corny anyway, but it’s not all that bad. But the parking lot? Why would you do that?

Any of these five places is a great way to get her to say no. Believe us, we’ve tried.

A. I’d love to get paid to travel!

B. A counselor because I have a lot of big ideas and want to help.

C. A seminary teacher. I want to help kids strengthen their testimonies.

D. I’d love to serve animals, people, you name it!

HOW WOULD YOUR FRIENDS DESCRIBE YOU?

A. Thrill seeking & open minded

B. Outgoing and enthusiastic

C. Driven and resilient

D. Romantic and creative

The ORC is the perfect place to find someone with the same sense of adventure as you. Maybe together you can rent some equipment and have a high thrill kind of love!

B. Making cookies to deliver to your ministering partners

C. Planning out your week with all your assignments and activities

D. Walking through the I-Center to study the artwork

A. I don’t care, as long as my back is against a tree and my legs are in the grass!

B. A café-like space – I need action happening around me

C. Quiet please! I need to be alone in my room to focus

D. Somewhere with enough people to keep me focused, but not enough to distract me.

You love to be social, and so does your soulmate! You’ll probably find them in the center of the action, so don’t be afraid to talk to them. They’re waiting to meet you!

You and your soulmate share a special passion: curiosity. Together, you can learn about your goals, interests and deepest questions.

Just like your soulmate, you appreciate the little things. Being together doesn’t have to be a grand show, only a place where you both feel understood.

Whether you’re headed to class or going on that hot date you’ve been working up the courage for since winter, the right spring outfit can help you stay cool and look sharp.

The new Rexburg Soup Kitchen is open every Wednesday this semester from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Rexburg VFW Hall. They need homemade cookies and rolls to hand out to patrons. If you’re looking for a way to serve this spring, try baking these recipes!

If you are in need of a meal yourself, don’t hesitate to attend. You will be fed a warm meal and given resources, no questions asked.

Visit justserve.org to learn how to donate and/or volunteer.

Cooking Instructions

1. Whisk yeast, sugar and warm water in a small bowl and set aside for 5 minutes.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk and melted butter. After yeast has activated, add it to yeast mixture and whisk until combined.

3. Mix flour and salt in bowl of your stand mixer fitted with hook attachment. Add milk mixture and knead on medium speed for 5-6 minutes. If needed, add an extra tablespoon or so of flour until dough is soft -not sticky!

4. Cover dough in your mixing bowl with tea towel and let rise at room temperature for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

5. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces; shape into balls. Place dough balls in a greased 9×11 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise at room temperature until big and puffed up, about 20-30 minutes.

6. On last rise, heat oven to 375°F.

7. Beat the egg. Lightly egg wash the top of the rolls (you don’t have to use the entire egg). Bake for around 20 minutes or until done. As soon as you take rolls out of the oven, brush with melted butter. Best when served warm.
