ocated somewhere between a rock and a hard place, you’ll find the Buhl School District. Like every other district in Idaho, it’s taken a 7.5 percent hit in state funding. And like Hagerman and HansenL and more than a few others, its attempt to pass a supplemental levy failed. And failed badly. Fifty-eight percent of patrons said no in an election in June. So the Buhl School Board is pondering whether to have another election. A second vote, if there is one, must be held by Aug. 26 in order for the levy to be added to property tax rolls and for the district to start receiving funds during the coming school year. The district must also leave enough time to advertise the vote three Our view: The weeks beforehand. Courtesy of Mike Simpson What’s a stake?

So you want to be a zookeeper ... Zookeepers are the front-line caretakers who directly interact with zoo animals. Most zookeepers have some science background, such as studying biology or zoology in college. But the only real requirement is a passion for animals — the kind that pushes someone to want to work with animals throughout life. “For most people that starts when they’re 10 years old and working with their pets,”said Bob King, curator for small animals and the Kids’ Farm at the National Zoo, which has 90 zookeepers on staff.“It usually morphs into summer jobs working with animals, walking dogs, working at a veterinary clinic, things like that.” King manages a staff of zookeepers and focuses on bigger-picture issues, such as breeding and enclo- sures. But he got his start as a zookeeper. And before that, as a teenager, he mucked out stalls at a horse barn.“I just never quite got out of it,”he said.
