It has been more than a year since proponents of the Pend d’Oreille Bay Trail began organizing workshops, holding meetings and seeking public input, and now they are ready to unveil their plan. A public trail corridor that will be built along the northwest shore of Lake Pend Oreille, the Pend d’Oreille Bay Trail conceptual plan is a response by many in the community to the continued growth of Sandpoint and its surrounding communities. The group’s goal is to preserve public access to what is one of the area’s most precious features – Lake Pend Oreille – and to provide a beautiful setting where people can hike.

The start of fall, or the autumnal equinox, occurs on the evening of Sept. 22 this year. It is around this time of the year that day and night are of nearly equal length (the exact day varies by location). In Spokane there will be 12 hours and 30 seconds of daylight on the 25th. Afterward, we head on that steady slide to shorter days and cooler temperatures.

The defining proof that summer is over are twofold. First, Labor Day weekend is over. Second, the Bayview Centennial activities have concluded.

Deer Park resident Jeana Moore left for a long walk on Oct. 19, 2009. She’s been walking ever since, covering more than 3,000 miles through eight states in a cross-country journey she hopes will save lives the way her granddaughter’s life was saved. As she walks, Moore remembers how 3-year-old Jada Bascom nearly died from acute myeloid leukemia as a newborn. Six rounds of chemotherapy and countless blood transfusions kept the baby alive while she waited for a bone marrow transplant.
