  • Above, left, is a recent view of the Midvale Airport runway after the cracked and deteriorated asphalt was removed. Below, is the aircraft parking ramp, which needed to be removed for the same reasons. The original plan was to replace the asphalt and use the existing base, but when construction of the new runway began, it was discovered the base wouldn’t work, adding another $450,000 to a project already costing over $600,000. As a result, the runway will temporarily revert back to gravel. Meanwhile, administrators will search for more funds. Photo by Philip A. Janquart.

  • Pioneer School had scheduled a BBQ in conjunction with WHS Homecoming activities Thursday, Sept. 12, but administrators were forced to cancel the annual event due to rain. Instead of flipping burgers, Weiser Police Chief Carl Smith, right, and WPD Resource Officer Cody Samson, background, helped out in the school cafeteria. ‘When the weather cooperates, we have a little BBQ on the day of the Homecoming parade and typically we’ll have some help from the city police and fire department,’ said Pioneer School Principal Dave Davies, ‘But we had to go to plan ‘B’ and have our burgers in the cafeteria. But I checked the weather and things should be clearing up this afternoon and the kids will be out to watch the parade. Photo by Philip A. Janquart.
