A hillside up Ohio Gulch caught Saturday and burned 2,035 acres. Two fires in ten days, both started by people, and the county still has no fire restrictions.
A 10,000-head feedlot wants 313 acres in the south county. It would drink 124,900 gallons a day, in the same July Ketchum put residents on watering days.
The Big Wood gave up 80 cfs in a week and stayed at 65% of normal. The July median falls just as fast as the river does.
The Music Festival put a baby grand in a 16-foot truck and spent four days playing Hailey and Bellevue instead of the Pavilion. Free, 45 minutes.
The Mediterranean restaurant planned for 200 N. Main is going to be a hat store instead. Cooking smells would have drifted into the apartments upstairs.
We read every agenda and every Idaho Mountain Express story so you don’t have to. We link back every time. We’re a filter, not a thief.
Who writes it? We do. People who live here, not a national chain that found the valley on a map.
