  • A majority of Bonner County commissioners voted to approve a proclamation May 28 opposing Idaho Gov. Brad Little’s phased reopening of the economy amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, Little ushered the state into Stage 3 of the reopening, effective Saturday, May 30, “despite a recent uptick in confirmed cases,” Boise State Public Radio reported. ” Little moved both bars and movie theaters from Stage 4 to Stage 3, hastening the reopening of those categories of businesses because, he said, “I would much rather start something a little earlier than have to delay things to a later point in time.” See the BSPR report here.
  • With the return of summer-like weather comes the 12th annual Sand Creek Paddlers Challenge, this year slated for Saturday, June 6. Pre-registration for the four-mile paddle up and back on Sand Creek is now open. To get more info or to enter, click here.
  • Enforcement of 2020 recreational vehicle registrations will be suspended until July 1, according to the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation. The agency had been transitioning to a new registration system, but the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic complicated the process. The extension will give IDPR time to work through the backlog of registrations and answer questions before presenting a range of options for buying registrations online, at county motor vehicle offices or retailers.
