NewsBF Snow Line back in action
 
By Mike Weland
Editor

With all the heavy snow, county residents are being encouraged to shovel your walks, plow your drives and private roads, clear your roofs and decks and many of our neighbors, especially the elderly, the ill, single parents with young children and others just can't safely do the work, NewsBF is once again activating the Snow Line.

As I did last year, I will put NewsBF, both Facebook and the website, to work in an effort to connect those in need of help with those who are willing and able to help.

Message me on Facebook, email me at mikeweland@gmail.com or call (208) 295-1016. If you call and I don't answer, please leave a detailed message; I am unable to get to the phone in time if I'm away from my desk, but I will get the information to post or return your call as soon as I am able.

As with last year, there are no office hours to worry about, no deadlines. Get in touch at your convenience and I will post as soon as I can.

Those needing help should give me their name, a little on why help is needed, what you need done, your physical address and daytime contact information.

Those willing to help their neighbors for free, be it individuals, families, work parties, civic or church group, please provide what help you are able to give, what area you are able to help in and your contact information.

I will also list those offering for pay commercial snow clearing services for free, just send me what services you offer, what area you work in and your contact information.

The information will be published on our website at www.newsbf.com/snowline.com, which will go online Thursday afternoon, as well as posted to our Facebook page. I will keep the page active until calls for help stop.
