Berry Picker: More Gozzer Ranch Attitude

"Apparently on Saturday night, Aug. 19, Gozzer Ranch was having a party for THEIR people, and decided fireworks would be in order. So a barge was brought in, fireworks begin to be set off (big ones, not your neighborhood bottle rockets and sparkers), and local folk, realizing the danger in this extremely dry time of year, seeing the cinders from the fireworks falling on the land and into our precious Lake, loud booms scarring local pets into basements and dark places, called authorities. One of East Side Fire District officials immediately called the Gozzer Ranch, and was told, after asking if they had a permit to do such a thing in this fire danger time of year...."We intend to do our fireworks display' just tell us the fine and we will pay it." Apparently no permits nor permission were granted to these arrogant folk. Get used to it people; this type of attitude is here to stay as long as we keep allowing multimillion dollar private gated communities to be invading our beautiful North Idaho rural lands. When will we learn?????????????????????"
