BONNERS FERRY
Officials propose annexation
Bonners Ferry officials have proposed annexing 144 properties where owners receive sewer and water services from the city but don’t currently have to pay city taxes.
That will change if the properties are annexed. Owners currently pay taxes to Boundary County or Boundary County School District. If annexed, residents will also face new rules, including prohibitions on firing guns within city limits, city licenses for dogs, and curfews for young people. As city residents, they would be served by city police and fire departments.

Segway rider issued DUI
A Boise bicycle officer ticketed a Segway operator downtown for suspicion of driving under the influence.
Police say 53-year-old Richard E. Kober steered his standup scooter in an erratic manner and nearly hit a pedestrian walking along Main Street on Saturday.
Police say that at first they didn’t know if a Segway fell under Idaho law for driving under the influence.
Segways are electric-powered machines that a person propels by leaning in different directions.
Police eventually decided the machine did fall under DUI laws and issued a ticket.
