Four people were treated for injuries after a van carrying eight volunteer cyclists on a cross-country fundraising trip crashed near Burley, Idaho, Tuesday night. A rear tire blowout caused the van towing the team's trailer to lose control.
All four of the injured were taken by ambulance to Burley's Cassia Regional Medical Center, where they were treated and released Tuesday night. The van and trailer were totaled.

Julie Hostetler Graber is going to Kenya in July to share her teaching experience with the staff of the Mathare Menno Kids Academy. The Academy is a nursery to eighth grade school located in Mathare, a poverty-stricken area of Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa. Because Julie was born while her parents, Don and Joyce Hostetler of Bluffton, were serving as volunteers in East Africa, she has developed a lasting interest in the children there. This will be her third visit to Africa as an adult.
The final honor roll of the 2010-11 season was released on June 3 for Bluffton elementary fourth and fifth graders. The students are listed in an attachment at the bottom of this story.
