A certified Neapolitan pizza chef is making hand-stretched pies in a tiny tavern at the end of a long Idaho backcountry road. That detail alone made me stop scrolling. The same kitchen turns out smoked brisket, towering burgers, and onion rings served with a side of fry sauce. Everything gets made from scratch.

Liberty Park to feature fencing, a first for Boise

BOISE — A 50-year-old park on the Boise Bench will be getting a much-needed facelift following a Thursday ground breaking. Liberty Park off of Emerald Street is undergoing renovations for improved accessibility, the addition of bathrooms and new playground equipment. The park is the oldest city park to have gone so long without any renovations. It was first opened in 1975. “I have heard loud and clear … how important it was to invest in this park,” Mayor McLean said Thursday. “This park, the playground, is old as I am and the city hadn’t reinvested in it yet.” The renovations will include accessible swings, slides, climbing structures and more aimed towards inclusivity. During construction, the park will remain closed to public use. The $2 million investment comes from multiple sources according to Boise Parks and Recreation Director Sara Arkle, including the Funded by Land and Water Conservation Fund and the city’s general fund. “One of the things we’ve been challenged with, and I know many people have, is just the increased cost of construction,” Arkle said. “So it does take a really creative mind and a good partnership between our city departments to make good work happen.” The final design

Idaho insurance director details $13M school trust collapse

Dozens of school trustees were granted an impromptu session with Idaho Department of Insurance Director Dean Cameron on Wednesday to discuss the collapse of an employee health insurance program. Nothing has changed — they all had to pay their share of the Idaho School Benefit Trust’s $13 million shortfall — but they had the opportunity to get some questions answered during their annual Idaho School Boards Association conference in Boise. Cameron provided some new details about what happened to the trust, as his department is conducting an investigation that is expected to wrap up this month. Those managing the trust set rates too low and were counting on a “hope, a wing and a prayer” to get through the latest benefit year. Instead, their plan didn’t work. The trust became insolvent and a district court judge has taken all authority away from the trust’s leaders and granted full power to Cameron to rehabilitate the benefit trust. “The nightmare took place really over a couple-year period of time,” Cameron said. “The trust had assumed the risk, and the risk occurred.” Sen.-elect Soñia Galaviz, D-Boise, asked Cameron to speak at the ISBA conference and said he had to rearrange his schedule to

City of Caldwell approves two commercial and industrial developments

CALDWELL — More growth is ahead of Caldwell as new industrial and commercial developments near KCID Road were approved in a landslide by Caldwell City Council earlier this week. Both applicants received unanimous approval by council members for preliminary plats that will expand the city’s efforts in creating a balanced ratio between its residential, commercial and industrial developments. Highline Industrial Park SubdivisionThe large industrial development, Highline Industrial Park Subdivision, will sit on a 123.69-acre parcel located at 11637 Linden Road, which is approximately 1,000 feet east of the intersection at KCID Road. The future industrial park is also near US Highways 20 and 26 and the Franklin Road Interchange on Interstate 84. Already in the area is the 214,000 square-foot future headquarters of CBH Homes, which was originally part of a larger 152-acre parcel, but had 21.82 acres split off at the northwest corner for the property. Of the 123.69-acre parcel, the development calls for seven industrial lots that range between 6.95 acres to 29.40 acres each, with an average lot size of 11.80 acres for a total of 83.61 acres. It also includes 3.28 acres that will be used for 27 common lots, and one 15.09-acre buildable lot located
