Show MOUNTAIN TOWN NEWS Two blessings for new resort in Donnelly, Idaho By ALLEN BEST Record guest writer DONNELLY. Idaho - Tamarack Resort, the new ski area and real estate development project about 100 miles north of Boise, got two major boosts last week. First, President George W. Bush spent two days at the resort, mountain biking and cruising the waters of Cascade Lake while talking about such things as access to public lands, potential revisions to the Endangered Species Act and. of course, the war in Iraq. He was reported to be in excellent condition. But then, just the week before, he was pedaling with Lance Armstrong. The other "bright" for Tamarack was an announcement by a development group that includes former tennis stars Andre Agassi and Stefanie Graf of plans to build 175room hotel. The brand of the hotel has not yet been identified, but a consultant from San Francisco told the Idaho Statements that the quality of the hotel would put it in the same league as Aspen, Vail-Beaver Creek, and Deer Valley as we!l as Whistler, Jackson Hole, and Sun Valley. To keep pace with these resorts, the hotel had better be a RitzCarlton or a Four-Seasons, said Bill Drake, president of a Boise, Jdaho, based advertising and marketing company called es/drake Inc. a private ceremony the next day with local Buddhists, bless a new prayer wheel. The 800-pound bronze prayer wheel was made in India during the last several months and shipped to Ketchum, where it is being located in a new "Garden of Compassion" in the Sawtooth Botanical Garden. Flowing water is to power the turning of the temple-sized prayer wheel. In the theology of Tibetan Buddhism, prayer wheels - most of them little larger than a kitchen utensil - arc turned in a constant appeal for healing light to energize the planet. CNN. the cable television company, plans to broadcast the Dalai Lama's address. •Hemingway house to be closed to public KETCHUM, Idaho - Ernest Hemingway did some sports writing along the way, so it may be fair to summarize the story from Ketchum as this: Neighbors 1. Hemingway fans 0. Hemingway spent portions of his later years in Ketchum, where he committed suicide in 1961. In 1986, his fourth and last wife, Mary, willed their house there and the 13-acre property to the Nature Conservancy of Idaho. The plan was to renovate the house, turn it over to another non-profit group called the Idaho Hemingway House Foundation, and open it for public •The Dalai Lama to bless 800- tours. pound prayer wheel However, neighbors raised a ruckus, arguing the public house KETCHUM.

Furthermore, the controversial case threatened to draw resources from the groups conservation projects around the state. Without public access, generating funds to restore the house to its conditions of the early 1960s will be difficult, say officials. Restoration costs are estimated at $500,000. BANFF, Alberta - For an animal known by a number. Bear 66 seemed to be awfully close to a community pet. A 10-year-old sow, she spent a much time near the town of Banff, particularly the golf course, and was often seen using the highway crossing structures. She even strolled down Banff's main street three summers ago. sending tourists and locals alike scurrying for safety. And while this summer she did nip the butt of a youngster while he was sleeping in an area offlimits to campers, that was the extent of her threat to people. But Bear 66 is no more. She was killed recently by a train on the Canadian-Pacific tracks as she grazed in an area thick with berry bushes. It was the fourth bear to be killed by trains in Banff-Canmore area during the last five years. Newspapers there report that the bear's death, at a time when biologists think the grizzly population is endangered, caused local shock and provoked questions about responsibility. Bruce Pissot. the executive director of Defenders of Wildlife Canada, proposed that Canadian Pacific Rail trains slow down or that advance cars be dispatched to fire rubber bullet to scare bears.
