A history of Boulder City continued: Schnatterly's legacy
The story behind the Idaho Gold and Ruby Mine can be seen as a magnificent failure, or it can be seen as a groundbreaking triumph against all odds. In a sense, it is both. From a pragmatic, economical perspective, it was a complete flop. But from an idealistic viewpoint, it’s difficult not to admire the project, as well as the man who made it all happen: the enigmatic J.M. Schnatterly.

Heroes among us
For the past fourteen years, I have had the honor of recognizing some of the remarkable service of Idahoans with the Spirit of Freedom: Idaho Veterans Service Award. This award is presented in two categories: veterans and volunteers who assist veterans. Many of these Idahoans participated in formidable world events and returned home, raised families, built up our communities and continued to serve in many capacities assisting fellow Idahoans, including veterans and their families. Their examples of selfless service are beyond worthy of recognition and are a tip of the iceberg of the many outstanding Americans who make Idaho home.

Registrations for forestry class due Nov. 29
Good decisions require good information on a forest; whether determining how much to thin or what species, preparing for a timber sale, or managing for other values. Some forest owners like to make these decisions intuitively, but careful measurements can often illuminate misconceptions about a forest developed from casual observations.
In honor of this bird's least favorite holiday, let's talk about turkeys

History
History for November 24th, 2016 100 Year The body of Joe Dunn, the man who died at Kingsgate last Friday morning while trying to enter a refrigerator car was buried in the Bonners Ferry cemetery Monday afternoon. Coroner Reich held an inquest Saturday evening and an autopsy was held by Dr. E.E. Fry. The coroner’s jury brought in a verdict to the effect that Dunn’s death had been caused by pneumonia. From all present indications the project of reclaiming the Kootenai Valley of Idaho and British Columbia, which includes some 80,000 acres of rich bottom lands on both sides of the Kootenai river for a distance of some 60 miles, will soon be taken up again. While skating Sunday on the lake below town Miss Janie Rebenstroff was severely bitten by a dog belonging to George Causton. Eastport – A runaway boy from Bonners Ferry, was picked up here by the immigration officers last week. He was promptly returned to his parents. The basket ball team of the Bonners Ferry high school is rapidly getting in shape for the opening games of the season which will be played on December 7th, 8th and 9th at Libby, Eureka and Kalispell, Mont., respectively. The line-up of the team which will make the Montana trip will be as follows: Forwards, Stewart, Bond, Collins; center, Norton; guards, Luse and Thomsen. 50 Years Tuesday, Nov. 21, marked the opening of the Naples-Peterson hill section of Highway 2 and 95, and the Naples overpass. The eight-mile stretch of highway has been two years in the building with the costs listed as follows: grading, drainage and base materials, $1,400,000; paving, $425,000; and overpass, $460,000. The overpass is 730 feet long and 28 feet wide. The Boundary County TV Translator association today said the weak signal received last week was due to an icing condition on the antennas at Black mountain. Bob Myers and Clem Mostek went to the site and removed a four-inch ice coat to restore the signal. The association also stated: “We ask our cooperation. This also goes for the two non-members (free loaders) who were complaining about their poor TV reception from our translators on Black mountain.” A small but interested group of “old timers”, met at the courthouse last Thursday evening to further discuss the formation of a Boundary County historical society. Mrs. Goldie Brewer acted as chairman of the meeting and in the enthusiastic discussions which took place the groundwork was laid for the formation of an historical organization for the local community. Seen and Heard… Neil Howarth, Al Flory and LeRoy White not being recognized as they did the can can….. An ice skating rink at the fairgrounds show area will be forth-coming with the arrival of cold weather. Jaycees will flood the arena soon to establish a base and submerge existing sawdust and chips, then will sprinkle the ice with the first good freeze in hopes of providing a safe, well lighted place for residents to enjoy the almost-forgotten sport.

Recipes by Barbara: Spinach & Mushrooms Farfalle
This is a quick and easy recipe and you can make several changes to suit your taste. If you don’t want to go out and get a licorice flavored liqueur like annisette you can either eliminate it or you can use sliced fresh fennel and saute it a few minutes at the beginning before adding the mushrooms and onions. I use veggie bow-tie pasta (which is also called Farfalle), but you can vary that also. I like Parmesan cheese so I also use more than the 2 tablespoons. Dried thyme may be used, but the fresh is much better. This is best if you have a very large skillet, especially when you add the pasta.

Shook Twins: Homegrown favorites return to the Pearl for Thanksgiving concert
Most of us know the Shook Twins, Katelyn and Laurie Shook…at least, some of us seem to have known them as we watched them growing up in the 80’s and 90’s. Before they came on the music scene, they danced around the halls of Bonners Ferry High School like two little princesses, visiting the school with their teacher parents, Patty and Dan Shook. Even then, they had celebrity status. As the years pass, we continue to celebrate the amazing talent and accomplishment of these two young women: musicians with incredible harmonies and eclectic sound.

Barbequed Lamb Riblets
I just bought a lamb this past week and have a freezer full of my favorite meat. This is a cut you might not find in the store, but there are several local sheep ranchers that might have it. There is at least one grocer in town that carries U.S. lamb. I am an advocate of supporting our U.S. farmer. I hope you enjoy this recipe. It is one of my favorites, though it is a fatty one, but you can drain most of the fat away.

I am a 20-year resident of Moyie Springs. We have owned our home since 2001. In 2014, my husband passed away, leaving me a single income resident. Shortly thereafter, I lost my job. I found other work, but not at his $28 hr, nor my previous $14 hr rate. Conoco cannot afford those wages and I needed work no matter what the pay rate. I struggled through a year, cutting internet, cable, full coverage insurance, etc. I found myself sinking financially under my monthly obligations.

A blackbird that sounds like a rusty farm gate opening
Recently while on a photo field trip I came across a flock of birds by the Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge. The birds in a flock of about 50 had golden heads, a white patch on black wings, and a call that sounded like a rusty farm gate opening, the yellow-headed blackbird demands your attention. They were an impressive flock as the group seemed to roll across the wetlands and field beside the road. Each bird would glean seeds from the ground, and then leapfrog over its flock mates to the front edge of the ever-advancing troupe.

Boulder City: shadows of a mining marvel linger on
Remnants of decrepit settlements can be found throughout the dense, mountainous forests of the Northwest. Many of these settlements were established during the 19th and early 20th centuries but failed for one reason or another, and most of them gradually disappeared over the years. In many cases, these ghost towns have been reclaimed almost entirely by nature and little to no proof of their existence remains.

XC runners qualify for state
“Does it ever not rain at cross country meets? Because literally every meet I’ve ever been to it has rained,” said first year runner Brady Bateman to his coaches at the Idaho 3A District I Championshipwmeet. Indeed the rain came down hard all day long as Bonners Ferry, Coeur d’Alene Charter, Kellogg, Priest River, and Timberlake vied for the top team scores to qualify for the 3A State Championships. The meet was hosted by Priest River High School on a course the Badgers ran on in late September. Familiarity with the 5k course, however, was hindered by slick conditions and deep mud puddles. The phrase “true cross country race” was heard around the meet at various points.
Support Heather Scott
Heather Scott continues to take the high road while her opponent takes the low. Lies, innuendo and fabrication have become a part of the McAlister campaign in a vain attempt to overcome her lack of substance or morality. It is a common though divisive political practice that when you have no winning strategy, mudslinging and attacks on your opponent with conjured information becomes the norm. As a part of that strategy, it is hoped that others with little or no firsthand knowledge will pick up the lie or innuendo and either expand upon it or ride its coat tails for their own personal, political or perceived social gain.
A gentle word to voters
Remember, you don’t have to vote a straight ticket. If there is another candidate who is intelligent, capable, skilled, qualified, and endorsed by reasonable people, it is perfectly okay to cross party lines. Vote for people who will be effective leaders, and who will be able to work together with other effective leaders to solve the problems facing our nation, our state, our counties.
Dave Kramer is the best choice

Re-elect Representative Heather Scott
In the few years I’ve lived here, I’ve come to really value our State Representative, Heather Scott. She’s a breath of fresh air at a time when clarity is badly needed in the fog of politics.
In support of the hospital levy
I am writing in support of the Boundary Community Hospital levy on Nov. 8. I do this for two basic reasons that I hope will also be the motivation of the members of our county.
Vote Dixon, Scott and Tanner
Upon looking at all the mud slinging that has gone on this election both locally and nationally mostly by one party it leaves one to think, is there any hope for this country? I have to think there is hope and that only hope is to turn to our Creator and pray voters would look beyond the wild claims and smears that are out there. I have done just that and feel we must elect people like Heather Scott and Sage Dixon for State Representatives. We have in Sheriff Darrell Wheeler a man of integrity, honesty and I believe a man that stands between freedom and anarchy. All three of these candidates represent North Idaho values and will do us well. I also feel Steve Tanner Democrat is the better candidate for State Senator.
Scott, Dixon opt out of forum
We need some house cleaning up here in North Idaho. Two candidates for the Idaho House
Political bias in reporting
Betsy Russell, a onetime political “reporter”, has recently displayed her personal political bias and lack of understanding of the judicial process by her inaccurate reporting. She interchanges the words charge for criminal complaint or accusation even after clarification in a personal vendetta against a highly respected State Representative. Just because someone makes an allegation doesn’t make it so. If an allegation of criminal wrongdoing is made to a law enforcement agency, an investigation is conducted and where appropriate, a criminal complaint is sought through the prosecuting attorney and criminal charges are filed.

Dear Editor,
Dave Kramer
1. My decision to run for Sheriff is based on my commitment and desire to continue to serve the residents of Boundary County. I have been involved with law enforcement in Boundary County for over 40 years and my training and experience will be used to make a positive difference in the direction of the Sheriff’s Office. My goal is to have a proactive, community-involved, professional Sheriff’s Office that serves all of Boundary County.

North Idaho’s State Representative Heather Scott is doing the job she was sent by the voters to handle in Boise and proof of that is how her opponent in this election is attacking her by using the big guys to do her dirty work.
Scott stands up to big government
In fact, Kate faults Scott for “being focused on federal issues.” Well, veterans are pretty happy Scott looks out for us in that direction. For example, last year a veteran in Priest River got a dose of “federal issues” when the V.A. was coming to take his guns after he had had a stroke — the effects of which had never included dementia or being in need of outside help to manage his financial affairs. The V.A. claimed he wasn’t capable of handling his VA benefit paperwork and therefore also incapable of owning guns. Thankfully, a fellow veteran notified Scott and by the next day she had mobilized veterans, supporters, and Sheriff Wheeler to stand with this veteran when the V.A. sent its agent to his home to search for and sieze any firearms in his possession. Wouldn’t you know, shortly thereafter, the VA deemed him capable of handling his paperwork and guns. It was a paperwork error, someone checked the wrong box on a form, they said. (Who oversees the V.A. on their abilities to manage THEIR paperwork? Have their gun rights been reviewed?)
Scott has grassroots support
There was an interesting quote on the Idaho Democratic Party’s website by Kate McAlister, the Democrat running for state representative in our District: “My opponent in this race and others running are failing to listen and no longer understand how hard things are for working people and middle class Idahoans.”
Vote Robyn Brody
We will be voting for the important, non-partisan position of Idaho State Supreme Court Justice on this ballot. Robyn Brody has all the qualifications to best serve the people of Idaho. She is intelligent, passionate and personable. In her twenty-year legal career, she has represented Idaho businesses, dairy farmers and working people from all walks of life. It is impressive that on the Idaho State Bar Survey measuring things like integrity, knowledge of the law, legal ability, judicial temperament and experience, Robyn earned a score of 3.65 out of 4 while her opponent scored a 1.86. She alone has the added experience of arguing cases before this Supreme Court. She is highly qualified, well respected and my vote is for Robyn Brody.
Offensive political propaganda
Today I received an extremely offensive piece of political propaganda in the mail. A flyer paid for by Conservation Voters for Idaho Action Fund promoting Kate McAlister (affiliation not revealed) defaming Representative Heather Scott (R) to be “Too Extreme for Idaho”. A photo of Representative Scott holding a ‘General Lee’ Confederate battle flag implies that she is racist. I was incredulous; I watched Dukes of Hazzard as a kid, I guess that makes me racist too. I’m surprised the flyer didn’t include a photo of her holding a gun and insinuate by one of its claims that she is an “armed radical”. It is full of baseless, false accusations implying that she defends game poaching, supports radical patriot militia groups, anti-business in general and timber specifically. Perhaps if the propaganda sponsor is an actual Conservation block then they also would protest the continued clear cutting of our timber resources leaving whole mountain sides raped barren. This egregious mud-slinging and maligning of an anti-establishment public servant stinks of the same Hillary Clinton rhetoric calling half of the RNC candidate’s supporters “basket of deplorables”, “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic”, and “irredeemable”. She even refers to “their offensive, hateful mean-spirited rhetoric”(Ironic, isn’t it?). That’s exactly what this Kate McAlister promotion is, offensive, hateful, and mean-spirited. Citizens of Idaho, don’t be duped by big fancy resumes and claims of a ‘Conservation’ lobby. Stick with truth; U.S. and Idaho Constitutional conservatives!
Re-elect Heather Scott
I can’t remember the last time I wrote a letter to the editor of any newspaper, but it’s my pleasure to do so in this election to express my support for State Representative Heather Scott.
Vote Heather Scott and Daryl Wheeler
Dear Friends and Colleagues:
McAlister, not the right choice for District A1
Sandpoint’s Kate McAlister wants to be your state representative in Boise. What’s her platform? Boilerplate Chamber of Commerce language, for the most part. As a lifelong businessman, though, I honed in on her claim of being “trusted by businesses and community leaders” and “will work to keep our taxes and government working for all Idahoans by striving for collaborative consensus …” You mean, like the BID? That’s Sandpoint’s Business Improvement District, run for years now by McAlister as Chamber of Commerce CEO. This public/private partnership is financed by quarterly fees charged to certain downtown businesses for such things as seasonal beautification and downtown events. Businesses were supposed to have input into how their money is spent. But there was never transparency, and since many saw no benefit from their monies, they just stopped paying. Particularly when they realized that just since 2013 half a million dollars have been spent by McAlister, with 50-75% going to administrative costs - without much accountability, and with preferable treatment for chosen companies. The program is on its last leg. Business people are angry, distrustful of McAlister and her management style, which certainly doesn’t represent the collaborative consensus she claims. Which is probably why you won’t find any reference to the BID on her website or anywhere in her campaign. She’s running from her failure and now wants to run our District as a Representative. On November 8, re-elect Representative Heather Scott, who has a proven record as a fiscal conservative.
Heather Scott has my vote
In these last few days, I’ve seen a remarkable ratcheting up of nasty attacks against Heather Scott, our state representative in District 1. Here are some things about Heather you won’t see articles about or see full-color ads about, but they sure deserve to be brought forth. Heather truly cares for people. She has a special place in her heart for the elderly. I watched as she would go to the grocery store for an elderly neighbor every few days, take the groceries to her, and then sit and talk for a while. Even when she had a busy schedule, she would help this neighbor get her bills in order and assist her as much as she could. When a young veteran, just returned from combat duty in the Middle East, came to her yard sale looking for a bed, she gave him the one she had for sale – free. Recently, when a friend’s family was in need of firewood, she checked around and found more than a cord of wood – free – that someone was willing to donate. The God’s Provisions Thrift Shop in Priest River is a bigger and nicer-looking place because Heather and her husband made it a project to add on to it and improve it. Heather doesn’t just talk the talk of a true Christian, she walks the walk. She has a Godly heart, and she has my vote.
Support Sage Dixon
What is integrity in government? Integrity is defined as follows: the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness. Today, it seems most people go into politics for personal gain: regular politicians.

COURT RECORDS
Clerks
Mike Crapo (R), 66 Incumbent U.S. Senator
1. Our nation is facing very troublesome times on many fronts. The importance that we follow the Constitution and the right principles of governing has never been greater. I am committed more than ever to the values that first prompted me to run for the Senate: limited government, low taxes, less spending and individual freedom. Americans must speak out strongly today to preserve and defend our Constitution and the system of limited government and freedom.
Raul Labrador (R), 48 Incumbent First District Representative to Congress Attorney, small business owner
1. There have been a number of influential people that have helped me succeed. At a young age, my mother taught me that I had an obligation to give back in life. I was inspired to run for office to make sure our children had the same opportunities to succeed that I had. There is a generation of Americans that are losing hope in the American Dream. I’m fortunate to have lived this dream and I fight everyday to make sure others have the same opportunity.
Jerry Sturgill (D), 63 Candidate for U.S. Senator Businessman
1. Like most Americans, I’m angry that career politicians and special interest money have overrun our government. Big money has eclipsed the cause of government—to serve the people. Our politicians aren’t listening to every day Americans; they’re listening to big banks, pharmaceutical companies, and Super PACs, the same organizations that are profiting off the backs of American families. It’s time to get back to basics and work for Idaho families.
Donald Don Washburn

John White (IND), 72 Candidate for County Commissioner District Two Retired sawmill worker, carpenter
1. To give voters a non-party candidate that wouldn’t waste time and money campaigning, but would be more concerned with how to be truthful and perform responsibly to the people of Boundary County I will attempt to reduce misuse of power by those elected, appointed, or hired by federal, state and local government agencies.
Clarification
The Herald would like to clarify that a quote was published in the Oct. 20 story, “Mennonite Church faces new sex abuse suit”, and was made by the Mennonite Church USA: “urging congregations ‘to bring to light all that has been hidden too long in the shadows,’ and calling sexual abuse a ‘cancer within the church that we need to expose.’”

1. Civic duty, after 30 years of working on small business ventures in Boundary County.
Stephen F. Howlett (D), 65 Candidate for Idaho State District One Representative position B Self-employed building and remodeling contractor
1. The reason I want to represent Legislative District 1 Seat B is because my opponent has failed to even come close to reflecting the views of his mainstreams voters and representing the views of only a small number of the far-right TEA party Republicans.
Tim Tucker (IND), 71 Candidate for County Commissioner District Two Retired farmer
1. I want my children to be able to have the opportunity to have a job here in the County that pays a living wage. Currently most of the community’s kids have to move away after they graduate from high school in order to find a good paying job. Let’s grow good jobs here and keep our families intact.

Survival tips for big game hunters
Every fall, hunters get lost in the woods, and while most escape no worse than tired, chilled and hungry, the hazards of being lost in Idaho’s woods shouldn’t be underestimated. For that reason, Idaho Fish and Game reminds hunters of precautions they can take to prepare themselves for an unexpected stay in the woods:
James Piotrowski (D), 49 Candidate for First District Representative to Congress Constitutional lawyer
1. This year I was inspired to run for office by Congressman Labrador’s crusade to transfer large swaths of public lands here in Idaho. Those public lands are a crucial part of what makes Idaho, Idaho. From hunting, fishing, and hiking, to logging, mining, and grazing, Idaho’s approach to multiple use, and public access, has shaped our way of life. As a passionate fly fisherman and hunter, I believe that Idaho deserves leadership that understands the value of our lands, and will fight to protect our heritage. While public lands initially got me into this race, I believe that this fight highlights a broader problem with our current representation. Congressman Labrador has continually gone to Washington, D.C. to serve his own political career and to chase an extreme ideology, at the expense of Idahoans. We deserve leadership that will put people above politics, and I hope to bring that to the 1st District of Idaho.

Kate McAlister (D), 57 Candidate for Idaho State District One Representative position A CEO of Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce
1. North Idaho needs a representative focused on the job here in Idaho. Idahoans need to be the priority. I believe we need leadership based on common-sense solutions, not partisan or ideological convictions to bring balance to our political process. We deserve good government and a representative who will take all of us into consideration.
The ring-necked pheasant: a stroll down memory lane
In the fall mornings and evenings in Boundary County, moose, elk, coyotes, mule, and white-tailed deer might be seen. Osprey and shorebirds depart early in the season, while duck migration peaks in early November. Bald eagles arrive at the same time in search of sick or injured ducks that make an easy meal. However, it was a ring-necked pheasant that caught my attention last week as I was traveling the Farm to Market road in northern Boundary County.
Meet the candidates
In order to help voters make up their minds in the 2016 election, the Herald sent each candidate the following 12 questions and asked each of them to respond with 12 succint answers. The questions were:
Shawn Keough (R), 56 Incumbent State Senator for Legislative District One Executive Director of Associated Logging Contractors, Inc.
1. I’m inspired to run for elected office and for re-election because I believe in public service and stepping into the political arena in order to try to resolve issues in our state government that once resolved are helpful to our citizens and to our communities.

The Bonners Ferry volleyball team might have lost out at the 3A State Tournament that took place at Madison High School in Rexburg on Oct. 28 and 29, but they certainly did not come home empty-handed.
Steve Tanner (D), 63 Candidate for State Senator for Legislative District One Log home builder and timber products manufacturer
1. Samuel Adams said “If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.” That time has come. The Supreme Court continues to base its opinions upon political correctness, not upon the original intent of the Constitution. Last year’s “gay marriage” decision was another watershed issue in our nation’s clear descent away from truth and right. The State has become the mother that seeks to provide cradle to grave guidance and protection, while freedom and responsibly are outdated and even outlawed.

Heather Scott (R), 47 Incumbent Idaho State District One Representative postition A Scientist
1. Federal overreach, increasing government regulations and freedom restrictions became increasingly noticeable in everyday life. After reviewing the voting record of the then-District 1 legislators, I realized they were more interested in representing large lobby groups than North Idaho citizens. I decided to run for office. Both of my grandfathers and my father were veterans and I decided it was my time to serve my country and state.
