INW/PM Headlines — 11.5.10

Ed Haglund cruised around Cougar Bay on his tug boat in Coeur d’Alene on Thursday. Haglund is president of Cougar Bay Osprey Protective Association. The association wants to preserve some of the pilings and boom sticks in Cougar Bay for wildlife habitat and to enforce a no-wake zone in the shallow bay. The association’s application was turned down by the Idaho Department of Lands. A suit was filed over the denial. Becky Kramer will report on this story Saturday. (SR photo: Kathy Plonka)
