Why did Sandpoint High School Athletic Director Chris Knowles fail to explain a 5-percent decrease would cut $82,241 over a two-year period rather than $411,210 per year after it already had been reported that the proposed levy amount for extracurriculars was $822,409 per year? Why did AD Knowles not explain that the proposed $67,000 per year increase in coaches’ salaries is a 15.3-percent increase, though the overall proposed increase for extracurriculars is 8.9-percent? Why did AD Knowles not provide the dollar amounts for league memberships and state associations that he implied were at risk? Sports are rewarding and all extracurriculars could benefit from a smaller increase for the few who are coaches with the remainder distributed more broadly for all extracurriculars.

Their excuse was they didn’t even start final assembly of the panels until the day before and not having any idea how long it would take. It was the first time they made that many panels. They said please come back tomorrow at 1 p.m. and it will be done and operational for sure. I didn’t believe a word of it and had no plans to go back.

PRIEST LAKE — The Idaho Department of Lands and U.S. Forest Service have entered into an agreement to do work at Hanna Flats based on the Good Neighbor Authority program, said District Ranger Timothy Knight Nov. 7. Knight is responsible for the Priest Lake Ranger District of the Kaniksu National Forest, which is part of the Idaho Panhandle National Forests. Mick Schanilec, Priest Lake supervisory area manager for IDL in Coolin, said “The goal of the GNA in Idaho is to increase the pace and scale of forest and watershed restoration activities on federal forests.” The project will affect approximately 2,000 acres, he said, and will result in “fire hazard reduction, an improved species mix of forest regeneration, forest products for local mills, and other forest contract work. There may also be opportunity at the Hannah Flats site to improve the existing trail network for winter activities such as cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling.”

1. Samuel Adams said “If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.” That time has come. The Supreme Court continues to base its opinions upon political correctness, not upon the original intent of the Constitution. Last year’s “gay marriage” decision was another watershed issue in our nation’s clear descent away from truth and right. The state has become the mother that seeks to provide cradle to grave. America was found- ed by men who believed in absolutes, they lived knowing who created them and were not only grateful to Him for life and liberty but knew someday they would an- swer for their actions or inactions.

When warming oceans flood the coasts and a resurgent Russia takes out targets on the Eastern Seaboard. Though white separatists for years have called for a racial homeland in the inland Pacific Northwest, an even bigger movement of survivalists, Christian fundamentalists and political doomsayers is fueling the idea of a defensible retreat in the high country west of the Rockies.”

Why we removed Democrat Party organizer
Bonner and Boundary County Democrats teamed with the Idaho Democratic Party to hire a young Brigham Young University student who has an active interest in how government works and the election process. He was hired for three months as a party organizer. His first task was to identify people in our area who believe in principles of the Democratic Party. Removing our party organizer was something we definitely did not want to do. He was and would have been an important part of our campaign. He was removed when campaigns were moving to persuade voters to support our candidates and to vote. North Idaho Democrats run ethical campaigns. We respect the electoral process; play fairly and by the rules. We do not resort to dirty tricks and intimidation. We will speak out if they occur.
