I have deep North Idaho roots and graduated from Eastern Washington University with an English degree with a creative writing emphasis with a minor in film. I worked at at the Bonner County Daily Bee before coming to work at the Bonners Ferry Herald in August 2021. I enjoy writing for the paper that my great-grandfather read and covering the same small town community that is still alive today. I cover all things Badger sports, local politics and government, community news, business, outdoors and appear on the 7Bee podcast for the Herald's update. When I'm not working I can be found reading a good book and sipping tea, knitting or attempting to sign opera. | August 25, 2022 1:00 AM
BONNERS FERRY —- Jim Chase is the lucky winner of the Disabled American Veterans Chapter 28 gun raffle.
Chase posed with Commander Mike Spurgeon at Far North Outfitters with the 65 Grendel rifle after the gun was transferred to Chase. Upon asking how many raffle tickets he purchased, Chase admitted with a smile “only one.”
Spurgeon told the Bonners Ferry Herald that the DAV planned to announce the winner on Veteran’s Day, but since they had reached their goal of selling 1,000 raffle tickets the drawing was held earlier.
Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3622 Commander Ben Apo thanked Chase for his support.
There are other ongoing gun raffles with the DAV, American Legion and the VFW.
