If the only option I have is to vote for some of those tax reductions, I ll vote for it.” — House Minority Leader John Boehner saying he would vote for President Obama's plan to extend tax cuts if it OPINION UOTABLE was the only option available to House Republicans Q EDITORIAL Public hospitals, dwindling alternatives n the Idaho health care community,Rupert s Minidoka County Memorial Hospital is a very small fish in a large, large pond. A pond it must share with whales. So the 50-year-old medical center is morphing from aI county-owned hospital into a nonprofit corporation. Not that it has many acceptable options. Minidoka Memorial is the only remaining county-owned hospital between Malad City and Emmett and one of just 11 county- owned hospitals in Idaho (nine more are supported by hospital taxing districts). Collectively,those public hospitals are at a distinct compet- itive disadvantage. For starters, most of them are located in small towns. Rural hospitals are less able to constantly update expensive, increasingly specialized equipment. And it s harder for them to raise money to keep up. Because they re publicly-owned, these hospitals are subject to the same taxation rules as cities, counties and other taxing dis- tricts.

Whether inspired by Roman columns or crafted from repurposed materials, freestanding or attached to the porch, the gazebos have per- sonality. Some feature benches for a lazy afternoon of reading.

We picked six unique structures from across south-central Idaho.
