I Need Your Help...
Community Garage Sale: Saturday, May 3rd
Charlotte Clouthier is coordinating the Lakeland Village Community
Garage Sale on Saturday, May 3rd, from 8 AM to 2 PM. Idaho Youth
Ranch will be coming by to pick up unsold donations after the sale, if
desired. They will be providing receipts for the donations.
Charlotte is looking for volunteers to put out signs for their street the
day of the sale and distribute the sale reminder flyers to the houses on
their street. If you can volunteer, or for any questions, please contact
Charlotte at 631-2893 or [email protected].
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)
Page 2 Lakeland Village HOA Newsletter
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
Page 3 Lakeland Village HOA Newsletter
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
Page 4 Lakeland Village HOA Newsletter
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”.

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.”

Summer Lawns — Lakeland Village Landscapers
Page 6 Lakeland Village HOA Newsletter
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

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.
