"One thing I like to tell parents is, if you're not talking about to your teenagers about pornography, you're missing out...pornography breeds in silence and secrecy," Utah State Senator Todd Weiler told BYU-Idaho Radio.

"This BeUtofullness event is to help you discover how you are made so that you can discover what you were meant to be," Hymas said. "A lot of us just put things on like clothes and hair and makeup and we do okay, but we don't necessarily know what's best for us. This whole event is to help discover who you are, but not only that - empower you."

"We live at a time in the history of the world where contention rages and unfortunately, has become the norm," Barton said during his devotional. "It is not accomplished so much with swords and shields or other weapons of war as in the past, but largely happens because we have the ability to communicate instantly with friends, family, strangers, and enemies...For many, contending with others seems like a game and some are not happy unless they can argue some point or belief. Whatever the situation, the contention is prevalent in our day and age."

"We really are agents," Tyler Barton, Student Honor Administrator at BYU-Idaho, told BYU-Idaho Radio. "We can certainly exercise some control over what we do and how we react. I mean, the common themes of contention are anger, taking offense to something, being defensive and so when we look at what the Savior said...and we place ourselves in that context, I think we just need to, you know, try to take a deep breath, to remove ourselves from the situation."

"I think that sometimes, myself, for example, I think that we think a lot about Halloween and there's a lot of commercialism involved there and then we hop right to Christmas," Gywn Harris, program director for the Thanksgiving Day Celebration, told BYU-Idaho Radio. "So, Thanksgiving for some people is eating and football games and that's fine for them, but it's nice to have a little program with some music."

"Skiing and snowboarding is super important for children to learn," Tony Harrison, publicist for the Idaho Ski Areas Association, told BYU-Idaho Radio. "During the winter, it can be pretty challenging for parents to find things to keep their kids active and fifth and sixth graders are at a crucial age in their development where they're choosing healthy lifestyle activities including...skiing and snowboarding."

In the midst of the hustle and bustle of recovering from Halloween, preparing for Thanksgiving and stocking up on Christmas gifts, there's one holiday the Rexburg Chamber of Commerce is working to make sure everyone remembers: Veterans Day.

"They're taking onto archery very well," Gregg Losinski, spokesman for the Idaho Department of Fish and Game told BYU-Idaho Radio. "Maybe it's because of movies or recent books or things...the thing about archery is that it's a sport that calls [for] being very precise, at the same time, being very stealthy and quiet and takes a lot of skills, so women take to that very well."

"Records allow us to do other important things like for example, develop gratitude," Shawn Johansen, Chair of the History, Geography and Political Science Department at BYU-Idaho told BYU-Idaho Radio. "They help us to see blessings the Lord has given to us...in addition to gratitude...they help us improve. Journals, if they're done correctly...help us be self-evaluative."
