Idaho Company Saving Small Town America
6:55 pm
From the Idaho Div. of Tourism
Every good recession must come to an end. That’s the motto of an Idaho film company as they launch a campaign to turn the country around, one small town at a time.
“We’ve all been sitting around waiting for someone to fix America,” said Jericho manager Arnold Ytreeide. “We’ve had a tough decade since 9/11, and we just want someone to make the horrors of that day, and two wars, and natural and man-made disasters, and the problems with the economy go away. But that someone is us!” Tired of waiting for a solution, Ytreeide, with his wife and partner, Elsie, is trying to do something about it.

Memorial ride for Brian Williams scholarship
11:37 am
A news release from the folks at NIC.
Bike riders who wish to honor the memory of former North Idaho College student Brian Williams are invited to the NIC Edminster Student Union Building at 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 30 to take part in a ride on Canfield Mountain.
Donations will fund the Brian Williams Memorial Scholarship for students enrolled in NIC’s Resort Recreation Management Outdoor Leadership program.
No pre-registration is required. Just grab your gear and come on down — all are welcome.
NIC alum Williams was 28 years old when he was killed in a plane crash last summer. He was a passionate outdoorsman and the scholarship is intended to carry that passion on for generations to come. He attended Outdoor Pursuits trips and was involved in the outdoor programs that NIC offered. He then moved on to the University of Montana to pursue his dreams of working in the field of law to fight for changes in environmental policies. Williams spent his free time doing the things he loved, which were enjoying the scenery from the top of a mountain peak or finding peace at his cabin on the Moyie River, with his dog Charlie, his friends, family, and his guitar.
