Museum of North Idaho seeks support

As a fairly new board member of the Museum of North Idaho, along with eight other more experienced and community minded board members who know the operation a lot better than I do, I figured I needed to get up to speed in a hurry if I was going to do this organization any good. So, I found out a few things. The museum is a nonprofit organization under the IRS Code (501-c3, to be exact) and has been an Idaho corporation since 1968. That means that contributions - some in the form of annual dues - are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law. Now, I am an engineer and not an accountant so you might check with the person who does your taxes whether that is a CPA, your husband, wife, or uncle Louis but probably any money you give to the museum will be tax deductible.

In this corridor you can trust

The Nov. 25 issue of Coeur d'Alene Press featured a "My Turn" column written by representative-elect Kathy Sims. In her article she falsely accuses the NIC Board for not following a legal process in the acquisition of the education corridor. Her allegation that the NIC Board of Trustees acted in violation of the Constitution is misleading, false, and grounded on a distortion of the facts. * First, Ms. Sims accuses Trustee Judy Meyer of a conflict of interest. She states, "The appraiser is a business partner with an NIC Board member who also sits on the Board of Mountain West Bank."

MASTER GARDENER: Bumble bee basics

How you can help protect them

Bumble bees are an important pollinator of wild flowering plants, as well as garden and agricultural crops. Bumbles will fly in low light levels, in cooler temperatures, and perform “buzz pollination” – a pollination technique where the bee grabs the flower in its mandible and vibrates its wing muscles to release pollen from the flower. Many home-garden crops, like tomatoes and peppers benefit from buzz pollination. However, the bees were a bit late in arriving this year due to the cold, wet spring. This caused a delay in the emergence of mated bees from their overwintering sites, and in turn, delayed their offspring from foraging during the spring to summer transition.
