Michael,
     You're absolutely right, there's no mystery here.
     Their board is listed at  http://www.uidaho.edu/arboretum/associates.html

Go to the website, click on "arboretum associates" and you will find 
the officers, driectors, and contact information. They are, btw, on 
an "official" U of I logo website, so i don't think there's any 
secret about membership. However, the entire membership list isn't 
on the website as best I can tell, but then neither is the membership 
of the Idaho Washington Concert Chorale (which happens to also have a 
website), so I don't think there is anything nefarious about it.

Still, I do not see WHO these "Arboretum Associates" are....what's 
with the big mystery? I find it hard to side with people that keep 
themselves masked. Is it Mr. Smithers, the amusement park owner? The 
10,00 Watt Monster? The Miner 49er? Maybe Blackbeard's ghost?

Pat,
To see the concerns of the University of Idaho
Arboretum and Botanical Garden Associates, go to

http://www.uidaho.edu/arboretum/

Scroll down a bit and you'll see the link to their
letter to Mayor Comstock and the Council on the right
hand side of the page.
It's at
http://www.uidaho.edu/arboretum/PlayfieldArbResp.pdf

As you will notice, the Arboretum Associates are not
opposed to a community park with ballfields on the
land. Their concerns center on the proposal for the
complex being used as a sort of commercial attraction
for large tournaments every weekend.

For other concerns about the proposal, go to

savethearboretum.org

One of the major problems with the current proposal is
the fact that it would require between 5.5 and 6
MILLION gallons of water at a time when the city has
declared our water situation to be a near emergency.

Best,
TL
