Plank, Sherri Mitchell, Jim Thorpe, John Lowell, Gary Johnson, Jeff Sorenson and Jim Kelly. (Not shown - Nick Meneses, Phil Stella and Tim Hemphill)

The Bonner County Sheriff's Marine Division just completed the Marine Academy which consists of 80 hours of P.O.S.T. certified instruction on maritime law enforcement. This training is one half of the 160 hours required for Marine Deputy Certification, in addition to passing a comprehensive examination. Certified instructors are Lt. Cary Kelly and Sgt.'s Raiha and Rasmussen. This year, in addition to having two of our own students, Deputies Jim Kelly and Tim Flock, we had two patrol deputies, Phil Stella and Tim Hemphill. These patrol deputies, and dive team members added to the classes because of their experiences and expertise. Since they are already P.O.S.T. certified, they can add the Marine Certification to their qualifications by passing the comprehensive examination. The Idaho Department of Fish and Game also had attendees on a part-time basis. This was the fifth consecutive year that the Bonner County Sheriff's Office has hosted the Marine Academy.

Do NOT Be Complacent About Leaving Items in Your Car
A True Story


Don't be complacent, take a little extra time....be smarter than the thieves.
I drove myself and two co-workers to lunch Monday, 2/15/10. I chose a parking spot in the rear of the lot and backed into a space (no pull through available at location). This positioned my Chevy Avalanche with the passenger side doors facing away from the rest of the lot and to the end of the lot. I had a Sony digital camera lying on the console of my truck. Upon
returning from lunch and entering the vehicle we noticed nothing wrong or missing from the vehicle.

Cyclists vs. Motorized Vehicles


Highways don't have to be a battleground.

Spring is here and so are the bicyclists, enjoying the fresh sunny days on Bonner county
roads. With increased use of the roads by bicyclists, clashes with motorists are inevitable.
However, the number of incidents can be limited, and the severity of them reduced if
both bicyclists and motorists take a few extra precautions.

The number one thing bicyclists have to keep in mind is that while on the road, they have
to act like a motorized vehicle. Bicyclists have every right to be in the road, but they need
to follow the rules of the road. Cyclists are expected to follow traffic laws and can be
cited for running stop signs, speeding and other violations. When traveling in groups,
lane usage should mirror that of a car, do not take up the entire roadway by riding four
and five abreast.

Tips for 2010 Census

With the U.S. Census process beginning, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) advises people to be cooperative, but cautious, so as not to become a victim of fraud or identity theft.  The first phase of the 2010 U.S. Census is under way as workers have begun verifying the addresses of households across the country.  Eventually, more than 140,000 U.S. Census workers will count every person in the United States and will gather information about every person living at each address including name, age, gender, race, and other relevant data..Read more...

UPDATE from Jim and Cari Cruse, June 3, 2010
 

"Jim's condition remains unchanged at this time (although the symptoms do seem to stay heavier more often), and we still have no diagnosis for him. We did finally receive an acceptance for Jim at the VA Hospital in Spokane this past week, and we will be receiving an appointment very soon. We are hopeful that the VA doctors may be able to find answers that have left the other doctors stymied. We have been very blessed to continue receiving help from the benefit fund the FOP is administering for us, and have had a number of bills paid through that fund.

We appreciate everyone's prayers, and ask for you to continue to remember us in your prayers. Our older son just graduated from U of I and is very much in need of a good job in the Moscow area, and our younger son is currently in a sub somewhere under the Pacific Ocean for six months, so we would be blessed to know folks are praying for them, too."

Blessings,

Jim & Cari Cruse
