Entire story was not told regarding MS St. Louis

Regarding Mr. Drinkard’s column in the Daily Bee (Dec. 6, 2015), I have two points to discuss. The first is the fabrication of the reason the MS St. Louis ship was not allowed to dock in the U.S. in 1939. The U.S. visa quota for refugees had already been filled and a wait list of up to 10 years existed.

Simple Ways to Give Back

(Family Features) The true spirit of the holiday season is giving back to those in need, and there are many ways to get involved in your local community to make a difference. Best of all, the holidays serve as a great time to teach children about the importance of giving back and how far small acts of kindness can go. To get started, here are some ideas that are easy to put into action this year:

Protecting High-Value Gifts

(Family Features) Receiving an expensive gift can be quite a thrill, but that delight may be short-lived if you worry about the responsibility that comes with protecting a high-value gift from damage. With proper care and preventive measures, you can ensure extravagant gifts stay in good condition and maintain their worth for years to come.

Deck the Halls

(

Give Your Family the Gift of Good Health

(Family Features) As colder months approach, many families enjoy spending time together on the couch watching football, indulging in delicious family recipes and preparing for the holiday season. Many of us look forward to this time of year when we can spend quality time with loved ones, relax, reflect on the year and look forward to the new year ahead. This can also be a challenging time to stay healthy, as people tend to stay bundled up indoors and the food seems to pile up on the dinner table.

Conservatory celebrates 'Songs of the Season'

SANDPOINT — In business, doubling the size of your operation in a couple of years is seen as a win. It’s much the same in the arts, at least where things such as choirs and orchestras are concerned.

House gutted in Sagle blaze

SAGLE — A fireplace is the suspected cause of a fire which destroyed a Sagle home Saturday, Selkirk Fire, Rescue & EMS Chief Ron Stocking said.

Food bank is there for community, council not

As regular readers of the Daily Bee will know, the Sandpoint City Council recently voted not to waive a disputed sewer bill for the Bonner Community Food Bank. Granted, generous donors have stepped in to help pay the bill, but as a practical matter, this means the food bank will have fewer resources to help those in need in Sandpoint.

Corridor brings 4 cities together

SANDPOINT — Infrastructure and pedestrian safety were concerns raised by residents from the four eastern Bonner County cities during a Highway 2/200 corridor project open house Wednesday evening, discussing the future of the state highway.

Sewer policy legalities should be looked at

Sandpoint city officials offered not a shred of evidence that the food bank’s greater landscape water use caused an increase in sewer use.

Rognstad should look at halving city sewer bills

I cannot believe the city is still billing for the sewer each month. At $72 per month, they have to have millions of dollars already.

Evolution hinges on hope

An attempt to fathom violent acts is as complex as any human endeavor including understanding love. Disagreements abound for any given situation. What draws my attention primarily is the focus to overindulge on the fear factor, a spark in a tinderbox if you will, that may cause one to cower instead of participate toward a resolve.

Pet owners must take responsibility for dogs

I love dogs and have had one as my friend and companion for most of my adult life. I do take the responsibility very seriously. Besides being a dog lover I’m an avid bicyclist, too.

Bulldogs strong at Inland Empire meet

SPOKANE — Jake Williams pinned his Richland opponent in 2:25 and his Lakeland opponent in 1:22 in the 195 pound bracket, leading the Sandpoint wrestling team on the opening day of the Inland Empire Wrestling Tournament on Friday at Central Valley High School.

Basin board has busy agenda

DOVER — The Idaho Lakes Commission intends to cover a lot of ground when it convenes for its winter board meeting on Tuesday.

SWAC aids 'Tots' drive

SANDPOINT — Exercise really does, it seems, pay off.

Bulldog boys fall to 5A Timberwolves in overtime

Bokowy titles, football and XC teams highlight fall sports season

SANDPOINT — Another fall sports season is in the books, and what great action it was for the local sports teams, with the Bulldog football team extending the season into November with a memorable run to the state championship game.

Downtown streets going two-way

Commissioners need to reexamine decision

I am concerned with the recent Bonner County Board of Commissioners’ decision on the issue of fire-based EMS versus Bonner County EMS. I vote for commissioners with the understanding that it is their duty to listen to and represent their constituents. Recent decisions regarding the EMS issue make me question whether this is the case. I have sat in on several commission meetings where knowledgeable professionals intended to discuss the issue. They were not allowed to deliberate their positions.

Even Jesus was once a refugee

I read with great sadness the report on the resolution to prohibit entrance of any Syrian refugees. Some of our schools have leaky roofs; many of our citizens cannot afford healthcare because Idaho has refused expansion of Medicaid; many county residents struggle to afford basic food and shelter; many roads and bridges are in disrepair, and our residents with mental illness are often lacking even the most basic of services. With all of these pressing issues, I cannot even conceive that the refugee issue is the one that citizens and our elected county officials are spending their precious time on.
