This apartment house on Bash St. caught fire early
Sunday morning, Oct. 15. Flames were reported being seen as early as 7:15
a.m. At 9:45 when this photo was taken it was fully engulfed inside and
the firefighters were mostly worried about keeping the fire from spreading
to neighboring homes. The house had been owned by Joe Didier for the past
18-20 and was insured. By Sunday night it was reduced to a heap of rubble.
The Didiers haven’t decided yet whether to rebuild.

Duane Uhlenkott puts the finishing touches on the
upgrade of Prairie Elementary School’s computer lab. In the last few months
the school has replaced all of the aging and problem-prone Pentium II computers
with new ones. Recently developed technology allows the use of just six
computer towers to feed all 24 stations in the lab, providing a savings
of many thousands of dollars.

Bryce Forsmann is holding an Auto Darkening welding
helmet that Nick Forsmann donated to the Prairie High Industrial Technology
program. The auto darkening helmet makes welding much easier for the students,
and allows them to learn first hand what the new advancements in welding
are. We thank Nick for his contribution to the program. If it wasn't for
former students and individuals helping out, the program wouldn't be what
it is today.

On Monday, October 16, Kody Duclos and Logan Dahlen
traveled with Mrs. Holthaus to Grangeville where they met with the Idaho
County Commissioners to give a short presentation about the McCall Outdoor
Science School (MOSS). Kody and Logan told the commissioners about the
things that they learned while at the camp. They discussed forest management,
watersheds, system science, and the difficult decisions that we as Americans
must make in taking care of our environment. They also explained how they
would use their new knowledge in and out of the classroom. A proposal was
presented for the use of Title III money to fund the program for sixth
grade students in the 2007-2008 school year. Commissioner Rehder made the
motion to fund the program and Commissioner Matson seconded the motion.
The motion passed unanimously. The students and the teachers feel that
they were very fortunate to be able to attend MOSS and are pleased that
next year’s sixth grade students will have the opportunity. From left are
Duclos, Commissioner Doman, Dahlen, Commissioner Matson, Mrs. Holthaus,
and Commissioner Rehder after the students made their presentation.
