I
went to the woods because I wished to live
deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I
could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die,
discover that I had not lived. --Henry David Thoreau

The warning is in effect from noon Friday through midnight Sunday night. High pressure aloft and a thermal trough at the surface will remain in place through most of the weekend producing very warm and dry weather conditions. These conditions, combined with unseasonably dry land, cause elevated fire danger. Citizens are asked to be extremely cautious with fireworks and any fire sources such as campfires this Independence Day weekend.
Would
I ever think of coming back to Ferry County? Of course! I think
about it all the time....then I think about the snow....and my scooter
and all of my familys combined pains and aches and debts and and
and...anything about moving back north might be much more of a
pipe dream. I do however, subscribe to the thoughts my mother past
once...those pearls of wisdom which most people use in rational
thinking..."We never know what is going to happen."
I am not a subscriber to anything which smacks of predestiny...although
I have had plenty of deja vu'...might be something close to where the
ends of a circle meet...for unless we ever solve for Pi, there is also
never a straight line, nor a perfect circle.
Having rambled on in too much Jungian philosphy...I shall say this.....if I do move back, I fully expect there to be a start to the Rail Trail and I fully expect to take my Electric Portable Mobility Device onto that trail without fear of high speed ORV macho beer gutted old home boys running 
me over...although I think there are plenty who think I am whacky
enough to be safe...there still may be some out there who know and
understand that a person (with wifes help of course in partnership) is
not whacky if he and she can raise 7 kids and have 6 of them graduate
from college with honours, then I am not a dead fish.....So to those
pol's who still carrry official briefcases and take official notes and
make executive decisions on "behalf of the people"....be
forewarned....I am not whacky...nor am I undereducated, nor "stupid". I
am however tenacious as a pitbull, innocent as a peace dove......and I
REALLY hate to lose...so always keep an eye on your back! (*Old
Army saying among officers)----Have a Happy 4th.Options are still open to put this parcel into a co-operative 60 acre deal. Stay tuned for details! Dear Chairperson Weller In February and again in May 2007 Ferry County Commissioners conducted open meetings at the Republic School to receive public comments on future use of the abandoned rail corridor. 89 attended the February meeting and 126 attended the May meeting. Most attendees appeared to be citizens living within 10 miles of the abandoned corridorAlso by the time of the May meeting more than 200 individual letters and emails had been received by the commissioner’s office expressing written comments on the future use of the corridor.The large citizen turnout for the meetings and the  record breaking number of letters to commissioners on
this single issue were caused by many in the community sensing that at
least one of our commissioners had pre-conceived plans for authorizing
off road vehicle use on the rail corridor. Many concerned citizens
participated in the democratic process and expressed their opposition
through these available forums.Rail banking negotiations caused a two year delay in the process but the public comments made at these meetings and written in these letters are still valid today and can be a valuable tool to the committee for understanding what the people of Ferry County  wantMany sincere individuals took the time and effort to participate in
these meetings and express themselves with comments and letters. It
seems appropriate that your newly formed committee should carefully
consider this material. It is suggested that a copy of these meeting
minutes, sign in sheets and letters be made available from
commissioner’s files to each committee member. As Chairperson, please open a discussion of our suggestion at your next committee meeting.In the future, the committee may possibly determine additional ways to survey the public but at this time these records are significant, available and a meaningful source of information. More than 90% of the meeting sign-in entries and more than 90% of the letters received indicated strong community preference for a non-motorized corridor. Surely the public will be critical of any committee recommendations that indicate otherwise unless supported by a thorough community survey or community vote. Roy and Wanda Lammer SAFETY
FIRST THIS FOURTH OF JULY The Idaho
State Police, the Montana Highway Patrol and the Washington State Patrol will
have every available trooper working and are asking for motorists’ cooperation
over the Fourth of July weekend. All
three agencies expect to see increased traffic volumes, and motorists should
expect to see extra Tri-State patrols on I-90 between Ritzville and Missoula over
the Fourth of July weekend. All
three agencies would like to remind motorists to drive with caution and give
yourself extra time to arrive at your destination safely. Troopers will be
aggressively locating, arresting and removing impaired drivers from the
highways. Impaired driving, aggressive
and dangerous speeds and occupant restraint violations will be strictly
enforced. So please remember to buckle up, slow down, maintain a safe following
distance and never drink and drive. The Washington State
Patrol Commercial Vehicle Division (CVD) will be conducting commercial vehicle
safety inspections during the busy 4th of July weekend. Commercial
Vehicle Officers in Spokane will be working in conjunction with Commercial
Vehicle Officers from the Cle Elum Port of Entry to assure Commercial Motor
Vehicle (CMV) drivers crossing the State of Washington have had adequate rest
periods and are within federal limits on driving hours. Officers will also be
concentrating on impaired and disqualified CMV drivers. Motorists are reminded that CMV’s are larger and heavier
than passenger cars and need more room to maneuver, and take longer distances
to stop. Motorists are reminded to allow more room when traveling near or
passing CMV’s. Our goal is to prevent serious injury and fatal collisions during this busy weekend. We will continue to be proactive in our efforts to keep these tragedies from occurring, but we need your help. Please report dangerous drivers as soon as you can safely do so by calling 911. In Idaho you can also call *477. Together we can all have a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend.  submitted by Friend of Rail Trail Partners Wesslen Construction Inc., of Spo-kane, is the apparent low bidder for
a $1.5 million city of Spokane contract to pave part of Fish Lake Trail
southwest of Spokane. The work represents one of two remaining phases of a three-phase
project to create a paved 10.5-mile link between the Centennial Trail

Lake. Fish Lake is on Cheney-Spokane Road near an old railway
right-of-way owned by the city of Spokane.

with the special mission of being the last combat troops to be present
in the country during the year-long pullout.The men and women
of the 17th Fires Brigade handle artillery and missile launchers. But
on this tour of duty, they're going to leave the heavy artillery behind
due to the changing role of the U.S. military in Operation Iraqi
Freedom.The Iraqi military and police are patrolling the
streets now while the U.S. military is standing back in support. The
troops trained in artillery are instead going to be used to help
support and train Iraqi forces. The members of the brigade will be
working to bring to an end the U.S. combat presence there.The
president set the timeline for one year from now, and the 17th Fires
Brigade is expected to play a key role in keeping on track with his
goal.
 EPHRATA, WA. -- The Grant County Coroner faces charges of unlawful imprisonment against the deputy coroner. Jerry Jasman was arrested Monday after the victim, Lynette Henson, claimed she was involved in a bizarre confrontation with him that was all caught on tape..Photos on the Grant County website show the pair happily working together, but court documents now show a history of alleged abuse. MORE  Despite what you may hear, open adoption works well for parents and kids. How many times have you heard the horror stories about open adoption? "The parents will only come back and take their child." "It's confusing to the child." "Your child will grow up and reject you, preferring their biological parents." "It's like co-parenting. You have to make decisions with the birth mom all the time." The fact is, open adoption is what you make it, and it's nothing to be afraid of. First of all, the legal process surrounding adoption is sound and, once complete, irrevocable. With open adoption, one of the many benefits is working out the details of the adoption with the birth family. Adoptive parents and birth families get to know each other, deciding how much and what type of contact they would each feel comfortable with. Working with experienced social workers and a capable attorney can help everyone navigate successfully through the process. Sure, sometimes a mom may change her mind, and that can be disappointing. But, it's an important and permanent decision for everyone involved. MORE
*From The London Times*
Outside the Bristol Zoo, in England, there is a parking lot for 150 cars and 8 coaches, or buses. It was manned by a very pleasant attendant with a ticket machine charging cars £1 (about $1.40) and coaches A£5 (about $7). This parking attendant worked there solid for all of 25 years. Then, one day, he just didn't turn up for work. "Oh well", said Bristol Zoo Management - "we'd better phone up the City Council and get them to send a new parking attendant..." "Err ... no", said the Council, "that parking lot is your responsibility." "Err ... no", said Bristol Zoo Management, "the attendant was employed by the City Council, wasn't he?" "Err ... NO!" insisted the Council. Sitting in his villa somewhere on the coast of Spain, is a bloke who had been taking the parking lot fees, estimated at A£400 (about $560) per day at Bristol Zoo for the last 25 years. Assuming 7 days a week, this amounts to just over A£3.6 million ($7 million)! And no one even knows his name. SPOKANE -- The summer before senior year in high school, most teens are playing video games, hanging out with friends or trying to earn a little extra cash. Not Greg Ridgley - he's running for Spokane City Council. The 18-year-old just finished his junior year at Gonzaga Prep and will spend his summer building a campaign against current council member Michael Allen. "If an 18-year-old is sent off to war, age is irrelevant for the discussion," Ridgley said. He says a lot of his friends were shocked and surprised and called him crazy, but that hasn't deterred his focus.

-- Just hours after firefighters got a handle on a brush
fire in north Spokane, two more fires spewed dark black smoke into the
north Spokane skies. Around 7:30 Wednesday evening, crews responded to
a report of a structure fire at 1723 E. Francis at T&R Party
Rentals. Once on scene, firefighters noticed heavy smoke and flames
coming from the two story building. 11
fire apparatus were called to the scene to help combat the flames while
emergency management officials closed area roads around the
fire.Firefighters were hampered by the "H-block" style building, which
has a
tendency to trap the heat from the fire, making conditions inside very
intense. These conditions prevented firefighters from going inside the
structure, as did the tendency for these types of structure to collapse
due to extreme heat. THE STORY HERE
