This notice was sent from the CdA Police Dept:
Crime Stoppers of the Inland Northwest is offering a cash reward for information leading to the arrest of suspect(s) responsible for the rash of auto burglaries in the City of Coeur d’Alene within the last month. The majority of the burglaries have been “Crimes of Opportunity” in which victims have left their car doors unlocked, windows down, and valuables in their cars.
Anyone with information on these burglaries is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 667-2111, toll free at 866-667-2111. Callers are asked to use a code name or number and do not have to use their own name to be eligible for a reward.
I remember when I lived in the county. Visitors would be shocked that we didn’t lock or house or cars. It’s nice to live in an area where people are so trusting. Then again, it’s better to be safe than sorry, especially if you keep valuables in your car or are silly enough to leave the keys in the ignition.
Good job for the PD to get this information out there.

Can we switch the subject and talk about KTEC. We have a great opportunity to vote in “technical education” for our area high school students. There is going to be an election on August 24th and no one is talking about it. This is a joint project between CdA, Post Falls and Lakeland Schools to build a center for juniors and seniors to develop work place skills. The land is donated, business & industry is contributing to it, and building costs have never been lower. I am generally not for higher taxes, but this one I will go for!!! We all pay for students dropping out. The school is based on a model here in Idaho that has a 98% graduation rate and has placed 96% of the students in jobs after graduation.
Time is short to get informed about this issue. Please get yourself to MICA FLATS GRANGE on August 2nd at 6:30 to learn more. TOM LUNA, our superintendent of Idaho schools will be there! RON NILSON will put on a presentation and TOM LUNA will be there to answer questions about the role of the state in developing tech opportunities to high schoolers. Check out Facebook under Mica Flats Grange…also directions are posted there.

“KTEC a win-win situation” is the title of a My Turn column written by Hazel Bauman, Jerry Keane and Mary Ann Ranells in today’s Press, Section C, front page.
