Open Letter to Ron Smith, County Commissioner:
You wrote a rumor-spreading letter to the Herald, Oct. 21, 2010 stating: "I would like to lay to rest the rumors perpetuated by Lisa Robbe suggesting that Boundary County Commissioners are considering the privatization of the Community Restorium." Later that same day you publicly announced that I intended to speak to residents of the Restorium attempting to sway them politically. You were told by numerous people that you were wrong, but you ignored them.

Badgers Place Second at State
The Bonners Ferry Boy’s Soccer team dropped the Idaho State 3A State Championship game Saturday to the Wendell Trojans, 3 – 1 at the Sunway Soccer Complex in Twin Falls. Wendell took the lead in the 31st minute off a 35-yard shot by Jose Ruelas, which eluded the outstretched arms of Badger keeper Mat Evans by mere inches. The Badgers responded with their only goal in the 34th minute when Aaron Moe finished off a nice one-two combination from Aaron Borne, who had received a nifty pass from Alex Mendez to start the play. The Trojans responded with two quick goals right before halftime by Eder Macias and Carlos Sarabia following some Badger defensive lapses. Still with 40 minutes remaining, Bonners tried in vain to get the equalizing goals, only to be thwarted each time by the resilient Wendell defense. Both teams produced nine shots on goal, and Evans recorded five saves. With the loss, the Badgers finished the season 17 – 4, and had an eleven game winning streak snapped in the final, while Wendell completed their season 18 – 1.
