CATS: Note to dirtbags

This is an open letter to the dirtbags out there who dump cats out in the woods. I wonder if you ever thought about the pain that you are inflicting, not just on the cats that have been ripped from loving homes, but the pain that you are inflicting on the people that loved these animals?

Officials failed residents with their lack of plowing

'Twas the week of the holidays and all through the town, not a creature was stirring, not even a snowplow. The moon on the breast of the ice covered streets, showed a luster of neglect,  with mounds of new snow.  When what to my wondering eyes did appear, but a blade on a dump truck carving a single narrow path, never fear.  As I drew in my head and was turning around, down from the sky came more  snow with a bound.

'Green' approach needed to eliminate county's milfoil

At a recent meeting of the Bonner County commissioners, approval was given for the expenditure of funds to begin the process of "eradication" of milfoil in various bodies of water around our county. To proceed with the application of hundreds of thousands of pounds of chemicals is in the same category as allowing the Rock Creek Mine to dump waste into the Clark Fork River, and thus into our lake. It must not happen.

DRIVER: Assimilate into Idaho

This is to the angry man in the huge honking truck I met at the intersection of I-95 and Lancaster. It was a beautiful, cloudless, blue sky Idaho day and this gentleman was frothing at the mouth. He was screaming and shaking his fist at me. What was my indiscretion? After waiting for two huge dump trucks, I proceeded into the intersection. If it was not my turn and I was in error, please accept my apology.

Alarms

The Kalispell Fire Department had 13 calls. One was to a vehicle accident on Airport Road that resulted in an injury. A man reported lying in the street on Liberty Road couldn't be found Tuesday night. A person suffering a medical problem at the post office went to the hospital. On Wednesday morning, a car-versus-dump truck collision near the landfill on U.S. 93 resulted in five injuries. None were thought to be critical; the Whitefish ambulance was needed to transport two patients. The West Valley Fire Department and Highway Patrol were also there. Another accident on U.S. 2 near Western Building Center resulted in no injuries; the Evergreen Fire Department and highway patrol were also there.

Graveley fails to provide compact alternative

In his anti-compact column (Leader, Oct. 11, “Stockgrowers Association opposes FARM”), Matt Graveley, vice president, Rocky Mountain Stockgrowers Association, states that the “biggest whopper” told by compact supporters is that it was negotiated “with input from agriculture groups and water users.” I irrigate 220 acres and actively participated, like many others, in frequent compact negotiating sessions, open to individuals and organizations, that began in 2009 and concluded in early 2015.

Group makes headway in Iowa on old Route 20 designation

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Visitors to the small northeastern Iowa city of Dyersville can soak up all the Americana that embodies a baseball diamond built amid cornfields for the 1989 movie “Field of Dreams.” At Fort Dodge, they can experience a replica of 19th-century fort life. And in tiny Cushing, they can have a cold brew and tacos at the Old 20 Bar and Grill.
