Stop veteran homelessness
No veteran who has served our nation should return home to face homelessness, but yet it is happening. Based on statistics from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) reports there were 49,933 homeless veterans on a single night in January 2014. While the VA finds that homelessness among veterans is declining, work remains to end the homelessness of those who have given so much for us.
Swing Street brings big band sound to Bonners Ferry
BONNERS FERRY — You don’t have to know the Charleston or the Lindy Hop to enjoy a night of big band music at the Becker Auditorium at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 22. Featuring classic artists like Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman to more modern composers like Billy Joel and Brian Setzer, area musicians of Swing Street will be in Bonners Ferry for the latest Educational Concert Series program presented by and supporting the BCSD bands. Tickets are $10 for adults, $8 for seniors and $5 for students and can be purchased from any band student, at Mountain Mike’s, Bonners Books or at the door. The Educational Concert Series program seeks to promote music education by bringing musicians from around the area, country and world to work with music students during the day, followed by an evening concert for the Bonners Ferry community. “Our students don’t have a chance to experience a lot of musical variety,” says BCSD director of bands Jessica Hanna. “This program seeks to broaden their horizons, while also providing the community with musical acts they may never get to see otherwise.” The BFHS jazz band, more than 20 members strong this year will join Swing Street for a combo number at the concert. Based in Sandpoint, Swing Street Big Band was formed in the mid-’90s by Tom Walton, band director at Sandpoint Middle School and Ed Brown, a musician and manufacturer of custom percussion instruments. According to the band’s website, www.swingstreetbigband.com, Tom and Eds' extensive knowledge of local musicians in the area helped them to form the first group of musicians that would be the Swing Street Big Band. Over the years many musicians have come and gone, they say, and today only a few people remain from that original group. Today the band is comprised of a very diverse group of people from many backgrounds. From this vast array of backgrounds one common interest links them all — a love for playing and performing music.

Ranger District, Department of Lands hosts local students
Employees from the Bonners Ferry Ranger District and an engine crew from the Idaho Department of Lands Kootenai Valley Forest Protective District hosted students on May 5 at the picturesque Kootenai Wildlife Refuge. This event was the grand finale of a comprehensive eight-week long stewardship program, in which Forest Service employees presented information on different natural resources to five 3rd grade classrooms in the Boundary County School District. The students learned about wildland firefighting, plant and wildlife print identification, and how to identify the age of a tree. They also received a tree to plant at home and, possibly the best part, a hug from Smokey Bear. “It is our hope that the program will give students an awareness and appreciation of the resources available in their own county,” says newly retired Forest Service employee and event coordinator, Sondra Steinhorst.
