Power poles get protection

June 29, 2012
"Fair warning, my friends," said this long time Bonners Ferry resident whose name is being withheld to protect her innocence.
It is, apparently, a municipal law that's been on the Bonners Ferry books forever, but one few long-time residents knew existed and one that has never before been enforced. Not anymore. Better think twice before you tack notice to a Bonners Ferry power pole.

One of those long-time local residents, who shall remain nameless to protect the innocent, found that Thursday while posting signs for an upcoming benefit.

"I found out the hard way ... after driving around hanging our signs for Blaine's fundraiser sale* for an hour or so," the unnamed lady who oozes innocence said. "An officer was going along after me and taking them all down!"

According to the innocent lady, you can have sandwich boards or signs you can drive into the ground, but you can no longer put your signs on any power poles within city limits.

"I have no problem with obeying the law," Mrs. Innocence said, "I just need to know what the law is!"


* For Blaine Invernon at the fairgrounds dining hall, which started today and continues at 8 a.m. Saturday, June 30, and lasts until everyone agrees to go home. They have an awesome array of goods for sale, several raffles and silent auctions ... including one for an amazing hooded gold bed with built-in bar and eight track stereo, an historical piece from the 1970s ... with all proceeds to help the Badger standout pursue his dream.
