The gift giving season has arrived, and with it comes lots of shopping. In October, the National Retail Federation forecasted that shoppers will spend a record $902 per person on average for gifts, food and decorations during the winter holidays this year. This is about $25 per person more than last year and $16 higher than the previous record from 2019. The Associated Press reported that while more sales are expected, the presidential election and inflation could lead to slower growth of sales. Several local businesses in downtown Idaho Falls currently report more business or expect more soon. “I’m just hoping people want to come in — whether it be our shop or any of the shops here downtown,” said Tyler Cannon, who works at Cannon Skate Shop in Idaho Falls. “It’s just an awesome shopping experience because there’s good food. There’s good people. There’s Christmas decorations outside. The vibe is awesome. ... It’s a good place to be right now.” Cannon Skate Shop Cannon said Christmas shopping has had somewhat of a slow start. “I think it was a little bit of a slow start because of elections, but after Thanksgiving everything really ramped up,” Cannon said. “And people are out and about. It’s great to see them downtown.” The shop opened in August, so Cannon said the business doesn’t have previous years to compare to. But, Cannon said, business has been good since the shop opened. He said many people don’t expect a skate shop downtown but have been excited when they find it. Cannon said the shop sells skateboards to everyone from the parents of 6-year-olds to 65-year-olds. “Everyone just enjoys rolling around,” Cannon said. “There’s a very therapeutic analog version of skateboarding. There’s no electronics. There is just you pushing on a piece of wood with some wheels. It’s as simple as you can get.” Cannon said many customers also come in for Stance clothing. Stance is a socks, underwear and apparel brand that has been the official sock of Major League Baseball. “Traffic keeps ramping up until Christmas,” Cannon said. “It seems like there’s a lot of people in the same boat as myself. I still like shopping in-store ... a lot of items that we sell, you want to physically touch it, hold it, see how it feels.” Holiday House Boutique Melissa Ball, an owner of Holiday House Boutique, said holiday shopping is on par with previous years. She said the shop gets good summer crowds, but Christmas is a popular time. “It is a good season for us. ... Christmas is where we love to see people come in. We really go all out for Christmas,” Ball said. She said currently popular items are glitter Christmas houses, glass trees and other decor, as well as jewelry, Mason Cash bowls, books, dinnerware and candy. She said many customers are from out of town, but the shop loves the local community’s support. “I’m expecting a rush,” Ball said. “We’re always busy even right up to Christmas Eve.” Caramel Tree Samantha Bell, manager of the Caramel Tree stores in Idaho Falls, said December is always the busiest month for the business. Bell said gift boxes sell the most this time of year. She said customers also often buy caramel apples and bags of caramel. “I feel like we’ve kind of had a slower start than normal,” Bell said. “I expected it, based on past years, to be a little bit busier so far into December, but it’s been kind of a slow beginning of our busy season.” Bell said business usually picks up in the first week of December. Last year the shop received lots of large orders from businesses in town, but this year those orders are now starting to trickle in, Bell said. “Our expectation for the next couple weeks is that we will be a lot busier than we are right now,” Bell said. “We do have a lot of very large orders coming up that we will be fulfilling, but we also expect to see a lot more customers coming through the front door.” Bell said the shops will be preparing gift items that customers can just come and grab. Bell said everything sold at the shops is made from scratch locally. Handmade Idaho Hannah Trost, the owner of Handmade Idaho, said December shopping has been slower than previous years. November was almost the same as last year, but December sales are down about 20%. “It’s hard to predict,” Trost said. “There’s nothing about this year has been the same. We usually have dips and slowdowns. There hasn’t been that. Where we normally have a little higher sales in the spring, it was just a slow climb all year. The whole year has been different.” Trost said the shop runs much like a co-op, where 65 local artisans sell various items. Trost said currently popular items include ornaments, food, toys, jewelry, candles and soaps shaped like potatoes. “It’s getting a little close now, when people want custom orders it’s a good place to get things customized and locally made,” Trost said. Winnie & Mo’s Bookshop Whitney Holmes, an owner of Winnie & Mo’s Bookshop, said Christmas shopping has gone well, and the numbers are comparable to last year’s sales. “I think things kind of started off strong right after Thanksgiving, because last year Thanksgiving was earlier, so there was a little bit more of a buildup,” Holmes said. “This year, we had Thanksgiving and saw business Saturday, and then it was off to the races.” Holmes said special editions and signed copies of books are particularly popular around the holidays. Other items such as bookmarks, pencils and stationery are also popular stocking stuffers. “If you have a reader in your life, it might be hard to pick them out a book,” Holmes said. “You can’t go wrong if you pick them out a nice journal, book pouch or something like that.” Holmes said Saturdays are the busiest days for the shop. On Saturday, Dec. 21, there will be story time with Santa in the morning, which she expects to bring in quite a few customers. “Surprisingly to us, the week after Christmas our business is also really high because there’s a lot of people visiting from out of town and people off school and work looking for things to do,” Holmes said. Idaho Mountain Trading Richard Napier, owner of Idaho Mountain Trading, said holiday shopping has been decent. “I wouldn’t say it’s been stellar, because we are a ski shop and we’re somewhat snow dependent, but it’s been decent sales,” Napier said. “... The ski resorts are open, but all the ski resorts need more snow right now. So, we need a great big snow dump.” Napier said Grand Targhee Resort is expecting more snow soon, so that is helping. Napier said people are currently buying larger items like skis, snowboards and bicycles. He said gloves, goggles and socks are popular stocking stuffers and parkas and sweaters are also sought after as the weather gets colder. “We’re in downtown Idaho Falls and here to serve you, take care of you and size you up properly in your skis, snowboards, parkas, socks (or whatever else),” Napier said.GitLab CFO Brian Robins sells $675,895 in stock

A..As party postpones national convention The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Governors Forum has called for greater unity within the party’s ranks, urgent economic reforms and a reform of the electoral system. The PDP governors made the call in a communique read by Bala Mohammed, Bauchi State governor and chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum at the end of the party’s 7th meeting held on Saturday in Jos, the Plateau State capital. The meeting, which was attended by influential leaders within the PDP, including the National Working Committee (NWC), the Board of Trustees (BOT), and other major party figures, addressed various issues affecting the party and the nation. The forum expressed its commitment to addressing divisions within the party, emphasising the importance of unity ahead of the next general elections. “The Forum notes the concerns of Nigerians, PDP founding fathers, elders and members of our great Party of seeming divisions within the ranks and files. The Forum wishes to state categorically that it remains resolute in its determination to ensure unity and cohesion of this great Party that Nigerians have come to trust as the best platform for democratic governance.” A major development from the meeting was the acceptance of the postponement of the party’s National Executive Council (NEC) meeting, which was originally set for next week Thursday. The delay was made out of respect for the loss of the wife of Governor Eno Bassey of Akwa Ibom State. The party expressed its condolences, urging prayers for the governor and his family. The forum also urged the NWC to schedule the rescheduled NEC meeting by the first week of February 2025. “The Forum is constrained to accept the latest postponement of the National Executive Council (NEC) of the Party in empathy with our colleague, H.E. Governor Eno Bassey, whose late dear wife will be buried on the same day earlier scheduled for NEC. Once again, the Forum wishes to commiserate with our colleague and pray that God will grant him and the family the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss. “The Forum is strongly advising the NWC to call NEC latest by the first week of February 2025 to allow for elaborate consultations with critical stakeholders of the Party. The period between November and February is to address the existential problems confronting the Party, with a deliberate timeline of activities within the period under review to address issues of leadership and litigations confronting the Party.” In response to the severe economic challenges facing Nigeria, the PDP governors called on the president to urgently review the country’s economic policies. They condemned the ongoing hardships inflicted on Nigerians under the policies of the APC-led federal government, with the PDP Governors’ Forum pledging continued efforts to alleviate these issues at the state level. They also took aim at recent electoral irregularities, specifically in Edo and Ondo States, accusing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of manipulating results to favour the ruling APC. The PDP called for a thorough examination of these electoral malpractices and urged the judiciary and National Assembly to intervene in order to safeguard the integrity of Nigeria’s democratic process. “The Forum empathizes with Nigerians who are groaning under the oppressive economic hardship foisted on the nation by the policies and decisions of the APC-led Federal Government. The Forum calls on the President to urgently review both macroeconomic and fiscal policies that will address the welfare and well-being of Nigerians. The Forum wishes to pledge that all PDP Governors will continue to aggressively pursue policies and programs that will reduce the hardship and ensure progress and development. “The Forum notes with concern the rape of democracy in Edo Governorship elections. It is clear to everyone with conscience that INEC manipulated results in favour of the APC candidate when in fact majority of lawful votes were won by the PDP candidate, Mr. Asue Ighodalo. Meanwhile, we are still examining the documents in Ondo Elections where the APC manipulated results after openly buying votes. The Forum calls on the judiciary to save Nigerian democracy and the National Assembly to look into our electoral laws to make it difficult for institutional sabotage of the will of the people,” the communique read in part. In addition, the forum expressed condolences over the recent disasters in Plateau and Jigawa states, including the devastating fire at Katako Market in Jos and the tragic tanker explosion in Jigawa. They pledged their support for the affected communities, while also acknowledging the progress made in Plateau State under its current government. The governors thanked Plateau State government for hosting the event and showcasing the state’s progress, particularly in areas such as social services, tourism, and transportation. Looking ahead, the PDP affirmed its commitment to reclaiming political power in Nigeria, with the party’s leaders expressing optimism about regaining their rightful place in the country’s political landscape by 2027.

Iowa State transfer portal tracker: Kenard Snyder second Cyclone defensive lineman transferringCOLUMBUS, Ohio — Garnet Hathaway went out for morning skate on Tuesday and looked skyward to the rafters of Nationwide Arena. The Philadelphia Flyers forward found the white banner with the blue trim and the name Johnny Gaudreau in the heavens of the building. It is a permanent tribute to the South Jersey native who should have been squaring up against his former Calgary Flames teammate on the ice below when the Flyers played the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night. But on Aug. 29, on the eve of what was scheduled to be his younger sister’s wedding, while on an evening bike ride in Oldmans Township in Salem County, Johnny, 31, and his brother Matthew, 29, were struck and killed by an alleged drunk driver. Johnny left behind two young children; his wife Meredith, and Matthew’s wife Madeline, are each pregnant. “Yeah, there’s a lot of emotions. And I think even more so for his family, for guys that I know that knew him really well, really personally, were really close with him, and my heart just goes out to them,” Hathaway said. “You watch the tributes in Calgary and here, and the banner night, and John and Matthew’s family being there, and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to wrap my head around it, especially what they’re going through and have been through. So you can just try and continue to support them, and those that were really close with him.” Hathaway and Gaudreau first played together for the Flames in September 2014 at the Young Stars Classic in Penticton, British Columbia. Each had made their pro debuts the previous spring — Gaudreau played one NHL game and Hathaway played a handful with Abbotsford of the American Hockey League — after they turned pro. Hathaway had wrapped up a four-year career at Brown University and Gaudreau suited up for three season at Boston College. Gaudreau, a native of Salem County who starred for the Little Flyers as a youth, wore No. 13 at Boston College and the banner above the ice he should be skating on today features the number too. Walking around the arena he called home for two seasons, his college jersey, and the one worn by his brother Matthew — the two were teammates at BC — are part of a memorial on the arena’s main concourse. Gaudreau wore No. 13 in Calgary too, when in his second full season the Flames called up Hathaway for his NHL debut in February of 2016. Sean Monahan, who signed with Columbus in the offseason to play with his friend Gaudreau, was in his third season in Alberta at the time. “I played with Sean for a few years as well and I know how close those two were together, and their families too,” Hathaway said. “I think that being more removed from it and seeing the relationships that they had, I think it just highlights how important those relationships can be in your life and in hockey, but even more so outside of the rink.” But it is on the rink where he became a star. Gaudreau, a seven-time All-Star who racked up 743 points in 763 NHL games, first plied his trade at Hollydell Ice Arena in Sewell and later played for Gloucester Catholic High School. He was taught how to skate and play the game he’d later dominate — in spite of his diminutive. 5-foot-9, 163-pound frame — by his father Guy. The ice is where, in late September, Guy Gaudreau found some solace. Guy, sporting a Flyers tracksuit, a maroon Frozen Four shirt — the color of Boston College, — and the same blue and red Warrior gloves with the name “Gaudreau” stitched on the cuff that Johnny wore with the Blue Jackets, helped coach the Flyers on the invitation of coach John Tortorella. Guy, who has an open invite from Tortorella, has appeared at multiple practices in Voorhees this season. “It was amazing to have him out on the ice with us and it’s a testament to Torts, our coaching staff, our organization to reach out,” said Hathway who knew Guy from the Flames’ Fathers Trips. “Being in this area, now coming back and playing around Philly you begin to more realize how big of an involvement the Gaudreau family has in that area. It’s all of New Jersey, that whole Philly area, it’s really special. Hockey’s a special sport but those relationships, those bonds, that community outreach, I think, is really just amazing.” It was in the community that Joel Farabee first got to know Gaudreau. He went to dinner with the Flames star and Kevin Hayes, when Hayes was with the Flyers, and met him playing at the hockey tournament, Checking for Charity, in South Jersey. The corporation has hosted hockey tournaments across multiple skill levels including pro since 2009 and has raised over $400,000 for charity since its inception. Farabee then skated with Gaudreau for USA Hockey this past May at the World Championships in Czechia. “I didn’t see the banner, but I saw the picture when we walked into the rink,” Farabee said. “I think Columbus and Calgary have done a great job of just keeping his name around and the things they’ve done for his family and things like that are awesome.” Later Tuesday, fans will walk into Nationwide Arena under a large mural showcasing captain Boone Jenner, Damon Severson, Zach Werenski, and Gaudreau, who is memorialized with his name and the years 1993-2024 under it. In August and September, the entrance was filled with countless sticks, jerseys, bags of Skittles, and bottles of purple Gatorade as fans mourned Gaudreau and his brother Matthew. Gaudreau’s name is still on his stall between Monahan and Sean Kuraly in the Blue Jackets locker room. As you look around the brightly lit room, each stall has a picture above it with the player. Gaudreau’s is after he scored a goal, surrounded by four teammates and Jenner patting him on the head. There is still a spot for his sticks among his teammates. “Just being able to be his teammate for a month during the summer was something I’ll remember forever,” Farabee said. “His family’s great people, and we miss him every day, for sure. But I think the legacy he’s left is a really good one. And I hope that the NHL, and all the teams involved will continue to keep his name and his legacy around.” ©2024 The Philadelphia Inquirer, LLC.
