Don't give up on tax fight
Today (Sept. 11) I called the Bonner County Assessor's office and asked if I would be able to protest my taxes. I was politely told that no I could not, but that I could get a form from Marie Scott and send it to Boise.
Absentee ballots are available
SANDPOINT — Absentee ballots for the Nov. 7 general election are available at the Bonner County Clerk's Office.
Editorial
City taxpayers are the big losers in the rejection of Southside Water and Sewer District's wastewater proposal by the Sandpoint City Council's Public Works Committee.
Salvage or burn
The rains are finally coming, and with cool nights, the fire season is coming to a close. Hundreds of thousands of acres were burned and many millions of board feet of timber killed. Will this timber be salvaged or left to rot?
We're Number One!
Congratulations, Idaho, at being the state with the most expensive gasoline in the U.S! Over 40 cents a gallon more than the national average. And Sandpoint certainly must rank up there as the most expensive in the state. How about if the folks that have been gouging the tourists (and the rest of us) all summer with gas prices that were on average 20 cents a gallon more than Coeur d'Alene, stop gouging your neighbors now that summer is over?
Complaints come after the fact
Why is it that people come along after a precedent and begin to complain about that precedent? A case in point: The outdoor shooting range was established before some of our newer homes. Now the homeowners complain about the noise.

Thoughts about evolution misguided
Many of the thoughts Harvey Pine offered in his article in the Bee ("Evaluation of evolution offers many thoughts," Aug. 25) were ill-conceived and based on inaccurate information. Mr. Pine included numerous misstatements about evolution in his article — so called "missing links" are a problem, it is a purely random process, it is not scientific, it is mathematically impossible, and there are problems with time constraints, to name a few.

LPOSD must learn money doesn't grow on trees
People who owned property in Bonner County as far back as 1980 can't be continually fooled by the Lake Pend Oreille School District. Back in the early 1980s, a bond levy was passed to build five new schools, of which the Kootenai School was one. Somehow, the Kootenai School wasn't built but the athletic field behind the high school mysteriously appeared. In the early 1990s, another bond issue was passed to build the Kootenai School, but now we find out that it wasn't finished. Where did this money go? And, as usual, the LPOSD is again sniveling for more money to finish this school.
