Activities and Fun

A woman was chatting with her next-door neighbor. “I feel really good today. I started out this morning with an act of unselfish generosity. I gave a twenty dollar bill to a bum.”

“You gave a bum twenty whole dollars? That’s a lot of money to just give away. What did your husband say about it?”

“Oh, he thought it was the proper thing to do. He took it and said, ‘Thanks.’”

New Bonners Ferry Badgers Head Football Coach: CLINT ARTHUR! Clint Arthur, from Bonners Ferry, has been an assistant coach for ten years. Clint is also the badger basketball head coach and this will be his eleventh year coaching. In the beginning of the school year, Clint Arthur decided to quit assisting football and focus on being the head coach for basketball.

After coach Fisher resigned, Clint was asked to step in and take on the badger football team as the head coach. “We are trying to get everything put back together after the other coach resigned. After a couple of weeks we will be looking better then we have. Once everyone is on the same page”, says Clint.

The “Buzz” on Brewmaster Joe Bonners Ferry would like to welcome the Kootenai River Brewing Company Brewmaster, Joe De Vita. He is the man behind all their great beer. Joe is from Sandpoint and has six years experience in brewing beer-five at home and one year of internships from Yakima Valley to Sandpoint. He has also been a licensed nurse for 20 years. Joe was selected to bring the “Kootenai River brewing IPA to compete with some pretty big breweries like Sierra Nevada and Full Sail Ale at the Fresh Hop Festival in Yakima on October 1st. If you’re not going to the Yakima Valley, you can try this IPA at the new brewery at 6424 Riverside Street.

Grand ThefT auTo

A large van hits a lady and the husband calls 911.

Q: How many psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb?

An elderly lady did her shopping and, upon returning to her car, found four males in the act of leaving with her car. She dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun, proceeding to scream at them at the top of her voice, “I have a gun and I know how to use it! Get out of the car you dirty rotten scoundrels!”

The operator asks, “Where are you at”?

The husband replies, “I’m on Eucolipstic Road.”

The operator asks, “Can you spell that for me?”

A: Only one, but the light bulb has to WANT to change.

“I’ll just drag her over to Oak and you can you pick her up there?”

The four men didn’t wait for a second invitation, but got out and ran like mad, whereupon the lady, somewhat shaken, proceeded to load her shopping bags into the back of the car and got into the driver’s seat.

She was so shaken that she could not get her key into the ignition. She tried and tried, then it dawned on her why. A few minutes later, she found her own car parked four or five spaces farther down.
