Hailey to host health care forum
Representatives from the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare will present information on new childcare regulations at Hailey City Hall today at 5:30 p.m.
Parents, child care providers, health care officials, police and fire officials, and city and county officials are invited to attend.
The forum is being hosted by the cities of Hailey and Bellevue.
The Legislature this year amended the state statute for daycare licensing. Changes will go into effect in January. In addition, the Department of Health and Welfare has developed a centralized complaint system to track all daycare complaints and concerns in the state of Idaho.
The information forum will include discussion of what changes cities may want to make to assure that their ordinances align with the new statute.

Sun Valley gets Golf Digest ranking
Sun Valley Resort has been ranked No. 63 in Golf Digest magazine's annual "75 Best Golf Resorts in North America."
More than 900 panelists looked at hundreds of U.S., Canadian, Mexican and Caribbean golf resorts. Sun Valley received positive reviews for its new nine-hole White Clouds course, a 25-acre practice facility and new Sun Valley Clubhouse, all of which opened at the end of last summer.
Also in Idaho, the Coeur d'Alene Golf & Spa Resort earned the 24th spot, with judges remarking on the course's famous "floating" 14th green and use of organic fertilizers to be more environmentally conscious.
The top ranking went to Pebble Beach Resort/Inn at Spanish Bay on the California coast.
