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. 

Charlene Duman, a high school aide, helps Bradley Poxleitner check out a book on the new computerized library system at Prairie Elementary School. Most of the library’s nearly 9,000 books are already in the system; the rest should be in by Christmas. PES thanks Kris Nida for her many hours of work to get this system up and running for the library.  

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.
