Evening grosbeaks: Magnificent but elusive

Last weekend I was scanning the ponderosa pines surrounding my bird feeders when some unfamiliar birds caught my eye. I reached for my Nikon with my 600 mm lens to take a picture of the birds. Suddenly they weren’t just birds; they were spectacular and handsomely attired in yellow, black and white. They were about the size of a robin, but more compact and thicker bodied; smaller than a Steller’s jay

We know every name, every event, every business, and every landmark in this town. But do we know everything our town has to offer? For example, most of us have heard of The Pearl Theater, but how well are we acquainted with it?

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING The Boundary County Commissioners will hold public hearing at 1:30 PM Monday, December 05, 2016 in the Commissioner's Office at the Boundary County Courthouse to accept public comment on an Amendment Application, 16-111 by the Planning & Zoning Administrator. Application 16-111 involves amending Ordinance 2015-2, Land Use Ordinance, to review proposed changes, specifically addressing updates to: Section 2 - Definitions Section 7 - Conditional Use Permits Section 8 - Special Event Permits Section 10 - Standards for Specific Uses Section 11 - Subdivisions Section 12 - Variances Section 13 - Mediation and Appeals Section 18 - Amendments Section 20 - Parcel Divisions The proposed updates are both typographical (correcting formatting and spelling/numbering errors), and substantive. (Substantive changes are changes to actual content which add or delete verbiage thus altering the potential interpretation of an ordinance. An example might be the addition to an ordinance section to state 'No dogs allowed'. Not hard to interpret, but if the words did not exist before, the addition of these words (or removal of them) would be considered a substantive change.) The deadline for written comment and material for 16-111 is 12 PM Monday November 28, 2016. Written comment may be mailed to: Boundary County Commissioners, PO Box 419, Bonners Ferry, ID 83805, faxed to (208) 267-1205 or emailed to planning@boundarycountyid.org. Written comment will be accepted at public hearing provided the material is read into the record. There may be a five (5) minute limit per person on verbal testimony. Further information is available on this application at the Planning & Zoning Office, room 16 of the Courthouse, and the application is available for public review. Information is also available by calling (208) 267-7212 or by visiting the county website at www.boundarycountyid.org/planning/. Anyone requiring special accommodation due to handicap or disability should contact the planning office at least two (2) days prior to the hearing. BFH Legal 9570 November 10, 2016
