GUEST OPINION: DAVE KRAMER - Reducing the chance of becoming a victim

Boundary County is considered a safe place to live overall but looking at the crimes committed by people in custody show that we are not immune to any type of criminal activity. You do not have to be paranoid, but it is wise to use common sense and realize that not everyone that lives, or visits Boundary County has your best interests at stake. What I mean by that: there are things that you can do to reduce the chance of being a victim, especially to thefts. The first part is the realization that “yes, I could be a victim” instead of the mindset that, “This is Boundary County and I don’t need to lock my doors or take the keys out of my vehicle, or think that no one would steal my stuff.”

Thatching ant hills only a portion of the nest

Anyone who’s walked through the pine forests of Boundary County has seen them, the large, often knee high mounds of pine needles and other forest debris, which, on a sunny day, are swarming with ants. These are the homes of thatching ants. In bad weather these appear to be lifeless piles of debris, but on sunny days they can be boiling with activity. Thatching ant colonies are abundant, especially in Jack Pine forests wherever there is a site that receives good sunshine. The edges of roads and snowmobile trails are great spots to find them. Warmth from the sun is an important resource for the developing eggs and larvae.

Developing a water source for our future

Supplying healthy, great tasting water is one of the most important things the city does for our residents. The city has relied on Myrtle Creek as its primary water source for nearly 100 years, but as the fire in the Myrtle Creek drainage in 2003 demonstrated, backup water sources are very important. The city has used water from the Kootenai River as a backup for decades, but it is more challenging to treat, and the taste of the water just isn’t as good as the Myrtle Creek water.
