Ingredients

1 copy of a New Zealand newspaper

(may substitute The Idaho Statesman)

1 whole trout, gilled and gutted (2-4 lbs.)

Lemon juice

2 spring onions, chopped

Bundle of fresh dill sprigs (or smaller amount of fennel fronds)

Salt and pepper

Olive oil

String

Yummy Recipe: Newsworthy Trout Contributed by honorary Lakeland Villager Jim Owens (Wolf Creek)


Instructions

Read the newspaper. Walk north out of the Garden City Library and catch a trout. Gill/gut trout.

Season the trout inside and out with salt and pepper and place the herbs and onions in the cavity.

Rub with oil. Carefully wrap the trout in 4 or 5 sheets of clean (inner pages) of newspaper, one at

a time, folding over the edges to make a neat parcel. Tie with string, then run parcel under a cold

water tap until the paper is moist but not soggy.

Cook on a BBQ hotplate, in the ashes of the fire, or bake in a medium oven (350 degrees). Allow

approximately 15 minutes per pound, turning halfway through the cooking time. Allow to cool

slightly before peeling off the paper to reveal perfectly steamed trout that just slips out of its skin.

Pairs well with NZ Chardonnay or Cinder Viognier. Continue reading the newspaper every day.

Note: Idaho and New Zealand have much in common, like beautiful scenery, trout, and

newspapers. This recipe is adapted from a fishing guide from New Zealand’s famed trout haven

in the North Island, Lake Taupo...a drive of a few hours from where my Kiwi wife grew up.

The above recipe and 249 others can be found in the

Garden City Library cookbook “A Literary Feast”. The

cookbook is available at the library right now, for the

low price of $10.00 + tax. All proceeds from cookbook

sales benefit library programs.

These would make great Mother’s Day gifts!

Put this Teen to Work: Lawn Mowing Service or Mailbox Stand Painting


Capital High School sophomore Gavin Zickefoose (North Cape Arago

Place) wants you to put him to work! Gavin, a hard-working 16-year-old,

is trying to earn extra money this summer for fun, gas, and to add to his

college savings account. He has mowed lawns for the past few summers

for a construction company and also painted the mailbox stands on his

street.

Please contact Gavin at 440-2895 to line up his services!

Coming Soon: A “Hub” linking homeowners needing help with small jobs and neighborhood teens looking for work

Jacki Liddell has come up with a great idea — putting together homeowners who need

unskilled outdoor chores done (under homeowner supervision) and teens in the neighborhood

looking to work for extra money at a reasonable rate. These would be things below the level of

professional landscapers, such as shoveling driveways, raking leaves, weeding, hauling,

cleaning up beaches, etc.

Teens interested in working should contact Jacki at 331-1133 or [email protected] with

the following information:

Name

Address

Phone

Male or female

Age

Available times

Requested rate

Homeowners needing workers should contact Jacki at 331-1133 or [email protected] with

a description of the job. She will keep a list of available workers and hopefully put together the

match.

Lawn Mowing Service

Mow lawn and trim

Brings own mower and trimmer

$20 per yard

Available also for just vacation mowing

Mailbox Stand Painting

Stands repainted black so that they look

like brand new

$10 per neighbor that shares the stand

($20 total per stand)

Garden City Trash and Recycling Guide


Since we have several new homeowners over the past year, it would be good to make sure

everybody is familiar with the trash and recycling pick-up guidelines. The below information

was pulled from Republic Services web site www.republicservicesidaho.com.


What’s going on with . . . The new Bridge across the Greenbelt??? There is a lot of great information on the “West Bridge” at the Garden City website. Go to the city

website at www.gardencityidaho.org. Click on “West Bridge Update” on the left side of the page.

The below table shows the current timeline. I heard that a major hurdle has been resolved: how to

gain access to the river with the huge crane required. Next step is to finalize all of the paperwork

and go out to bid.

What’s going on with . . . The Sidewalk to Walgreens???

Mike Thomas reports:

From Ryan Cutler, Project Manager, ACHD Capital Projects

Department: “The project has been bid out and now needs approval

from our Commission in two weeks. I anticipate construction to start

in the middle to the end of March”.

Page 5 Lakeland Village HOA Newsletter

Mike Thomas reports:

“The company that is doing the construction on the Assisted Living project has completed the tiling

(piping) of our ditch that runs to the south of their property.”

What’s going on with . . . Grace Assisted Living Project ????

Summer Lawns — Lakeland Village Landscapers


Here’s a summary of what Summer Lawns does for common areas:

Spring and fall cleanups

Spring sprinkler start-up, monthly monitoring, and winterization

Weekly mowing and edging

Hard, power-edging planter beds once each year

Lawn fertilization and weed control, including pre-emergent and billbug

Prune trees and shrubs (twice per year)

Healthcare applications for trees

Mow fescue areas four times each year

Clean culverts weekly

Specialized landscape care around ponds

Cattail removal in riparian areas

Weed treatment along Ulmer Lane canal bank

In addition, the patio homes pay an annual extra assessment for residential services that include:

Spring sprinkler activation, monthly monitoring, winterization

Spring, fall cleanup

Weekly mowing and edging

One-time hard edging

Lawn fertilization and weed control, including pre-emergent and billbug

Spray for insects

Tree fungicide treatment

The list of these services are usually posted on the website, patio homes, at the beginning of each

season.

Winter Service for all: snow shoveling/plowing the sidewalks contiguous to common areas. Only

after 2” continuous snowfall when snowmelt is not anticipated due to daytime warming. No

residential services.

N.C. Services — Pond Treatments

Lakeland Village HOA hired N.C.

Services in late 2013 and they did the

first pond treatments on November 21,

2013. The company is a Boise based

application company servicing the

Northwest. They design and implement

custom herbicide programs to meet the

individual needs of their clients. Dennis

Jensen and his Landscape Committee

are confident that N.C. Services will keep

our ponds under control and healthy.


Steps on Pond 7 The new steps went in on Pond 7 (along Heceta Head) in late February. These steps will make it

easier for children to get in and out of the pond when swimming or floating. The contractor was

also able to remove the huge rock from the pond that someone had rolled in, and put it back in place

on the grass.

The HOA Board has discussed adding steps to Pond 5 in 2015 if there is money in the budget.

Fence along Greenbelt, South of Pond 6

Anybody who walks along the

Greenbelt has noticed the new

wrought-iron fence, replacing the

unsightly barbed wire that has been

there forever. This project was jointly

funded by the City of Garden City,

Edgewater Estates, River Run

Townhomes, and Lakeland Village.

The fence is about 1100 feet in length,

with a total cost of $20,000. Lakeland

Village contributed $3,000 to the

project. The new fence is a great

improvement not only in looks, but also

from a safety point of view.
