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. | July 20, 2023 1:00 AM
SPOKANE — Bonners Ferry fifth grader Gabriella Curreri finished second at the local Drive, Chip and Putt, a PGA event for kids.
By taking second at the local qualifier at The Creek at Qualchan in Spokane, she qualified for a sub-regional contest scheduled for Aug. 18 at Circling Raven Resort in Coeur d’Alene.
If she qualifies in August, Curreri will advance to the regional qualifier at Chambers Bay in University Place, Wash., on Sept. 23.
Drive, Chip and Putt is open to boys and girls ages 7-15. Boys and girls compete in separate divisions in four age categories, the competition’s site said. The overall champion in each category is determined by the participant with the most points accumulated between all three skills.
