County
ordinance addresses solid waste
Idaho County has a great deal to be thankful—our way of life, low crime
rate, scenic beauty, healthy environment, strong communities, good
schools and good health care facilities. We also have challenges
with the reauthorization of the Secure Rural Schools legislation that supports
roads and schools. Additionally, we are having issues with growth,
transportation infrastructure, financing criminal trials, and solid waste.

October 20th was the first activity night for the
school year. The drug free group began their evening event with a
taco feed and then went to the activity of their choice. Some played
board games or video games and some watched movies. Before the night
was over, all the kids and adults ended up in the gym for a rousing game
of scooter races, tag, tennis and hula hoop contests. The group enjoyed
spending time with their friends and scaring Mrs. Sonnen and Mr. Nuxoll
with their fancy tricks on the scooters! Their next local event will
be a road rally and movie night. On December 2nd they will be going
to Lewiston for their annual Christmas shopping, movie and light trip.
For January and February they are planning a ski trip, ice skating trip,
a sledding party and a trip to the elk farm. A bunko party is also in the
works. The group has over 50 students from the high school. If you have
any ideas for the group or wish to chaperone an activity please contact:
Colleen Sonnen SDFS Coordinator or Bruce Nuxoll SDFS Advisor.
