It’s in addition to a legislative task force studying ways to fund parks and state police once the two departments lose their gas tax revenue next year. According to a press release from Otter’s office, the task force doesn’t have to come up with anything until December 2010 — which means the task force,and the 2010 Legislature, can probably escape election-year politics. “I appreciate the Legislature’s willingness to join me in this much-needed work to plan wisely for a safer Idaho with roads and bridges that are up to the people’s needs and expectations,” Otter said in a statement. “We all agree that jobs and prosperity depend on reliable and efficient roads.” Shoshone Falls just short of prediction Though as much as 20,000 cubic feet per second of water was expected to go over Shoshone Falls on Tuesday, the waterfall fell short, said Gary Kraus with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.

Who cares about a little June rain? After months of eating under artificial lighting, it’s delightful to take a plate outdoors. Move a chair into the shade and stretch out your legs. Breathe deeply. Smile at pedestrians. Order a glass of something icy. Alfresco dining options aren’t particularly abundant among south-central Idaho restaurants, however. And locals might be out of the habit of looking for them. So our reviewers sampled just a few of the places offering tables under the sky. Let our mini-tour get you started on your own alfresco exploration. Portobello veggie panino $6.55 The Upper Crust Bakery and Grill, 1200 Seventh St., Heyburn The Upper Crust sits on the second floor of Gossner’s Magic Valley Chalet, home of some of the best ice cream I have ever tasted. (Pralines and cream, how I dream of you!) So I had high expectations for the restaurant on the second floor. Walking past the aromatic ice cream bar proved to be a test of my willpower, but I made it up the stairs and into the chic, laid-back upstairs restaurant. Most sandwiches and burgers fall com- fortably under the $8 mark. I quickly decided on the veggie panino for $6.55. The sandwich comes standard with sauteed onions and peppers, tomatoes, portobello mushroom and Monterey Jack cheese. And the options! Diners can choose VIRGINIA HUTCHINS/Times-News between white, sourdough, wheat, cia- batta or dark wheat bread; salad, chips or fries; and tons of different cookies for dessert.
