POCATELLO (KPVI) – From a meditation chapel to a storage facility to an event center, the nearly 100-year-old James H. Brady Memorial Chapel in Pocatello is getting restored. The city’s historic preservation commission is working to raise money to update the chapel while still preserving its history.
As a building nearly a century old in the heart of historic Pocatello, the Brady Chapel has seen some ups and downs.
Its intended purpose has always been to be a meditation chapel, but according to Jim Anglesey, the staff liaison for the Pocatello Historic Preservation Committee, it hasn’t always served that purpose.
COVID-19 precautions still in place at Portneuf Medical Center
POCATELLO, Idaho (KIFI) - COVID-19 precautions, including masks and screening, remain in place at Portneuf Medical Center’s main campus and in all outpatient clinics.
Portneuf Medical Center continues to limit visitors, in most cases, to one visitor for the duration of a patient’s hospital stay and no visitors under the age of 18. For the most up-to-date visitor policy, click HERE.
These mask requirements mirror Pocatello City’s requirement to wear face coverings when entering any City of Pocatello building or facility or riding in public transportation buses. Although the Pocatello City Council voted to rescind the city’s face covering ordinance effective Wednesday, April 28, this did not end all mask requirements in the city.
On Monday evening, a Rexburg Police Department officer shot and killed a 50-year-old man at an apartment complex while responding to a complaint about an âunwanted subject.â
The events leading up to the shooting have not been made public, but the incident is the fourth fatal shooting by police in eastern Idaho in a week, and the fifth shooting incident overall.
Eastern Idaho typically sees two to three fatal shootings a year. The past week, however, has seen an unprecedented level of gun violence.
Law enforcement officers also have shot and killed individuals in Idaho Falls, Bingham County and Pocatello. Additionally, a suspect wanted in connection to a break in and shooting incident in Idaho Falls also shot at Chubbuck police officers while fleeing last week. In that incident officers did not return fire.
