Relay for Life of Rathdrum
If you live anywhere within the city of
Rathdrum, you heard this last weekend we
had the 4th Annual Relay for Life of
Rathdrum at the Lakeland High School
track. The weather was good, albeit it was
a bit cold in the wee hours of the morning.
There were 8 teams of people on the field
that raised $18,263! They are accepting
donations through the end of the month.
different games ranging from a scavenger
hunt, a water balloon toss, a goldfish
cracker toss, a cupcake eating contest,
Midnight Glo-Stick Bowling, and a PJ fashion
show. There was also a Mr Wicked Witch
Dress Up and a Karaoke & Cheer Off
competition. To help keep us motivated we
had music by Clint Darnell, The Wizard of Oz
played on the back of the stage, and music
by Uptown.
The event started about 6pm with the
posting of the colors by the Rathdrum Police
Color Guard. The cancer survivors took
their victory lap and were treated to a
dinner provided by Stein's Market. As soon
as the survivors made their lap, everyone
else started walking. As you made a lap
around the track, the first booth you came
to was the Relay for Life booth. At this
booth, they handed out beads so you could

the track was lined with lit up decorated

bags set out to spell HOPE, and there was a

the master of ceremonies of the event, this
was the most moving part because I lost my
grandmother to cancer many years ago.

Season Finale Crawl-a-Mania
Story by Pat Coffee
August 9th was a whole day of exciting four
wheel action on Spirit Lake’s Rock Crawl
Track at Volunteer Field. The event was
sponsored by the North Idaho Trailblazers; a
family oriented club for four wheel
enthusiast. All of their events are family
friendly and good clean fun for all ages.
An example of the family orientation is Pine
Creek Racing in the Unlimited Class. Steve
Nichols is the driver and his seventeen year
old daughter, Rikki, is his spotter. While

vehicle over rocks and barriers, in and out
of holes sometimes deeper than the
vehicle, daughter Rikki is out front climbing
over rocks and barriers guiding her father. A
spotter is very important. They see what
the driver can’t. Pine Creek Racing won the
points race in the Unlimited Class.
North Idaho Trailblazers not only sponsor
Crawl-a-Mania events; they also
participated in Wheelin’ Warriors. Earlier
this year the Trailblazers took several
Veterans on a day long back country
adventure over snow and ice covered trails.
(Devin Heilman, staff writer for the CDA
Press, went along and posted complete
coverage of the event on March 2, 2014).
They also work with the Forrest Service on
conservation issues. On some of their trail
rides they camp out and maybe do some
hunting or fishing when the season is right.
They are outdoorsman and snow and ice
covered trails don’t stop them. They plan
and conduct their events with preserving
the wilderness in mind.
Paul Barcimioli, a driver from Spirit Lake
finished first in the Stock Modified Class for
the day and the year. Paul is a tough
competitor who never disappoints the
crowd.

Every vehicle is unique; no two are exactly
alike. An example is Al Rhodes’ propane
powered Toyota. Al and his Toyota have the
crowd’s attention at these events because
they know they can count on a great
performance. Al finished second for the
year in the Super Modified Class. He was
just one point behind winner John Swink.
second in the Modified Stock Class for the
day and second for the year. He had an
extra drive shaft but there were issues with
the u-joint.
Most people leave these events having
made new friends. The crowd was friendly.
The drivers were approachable; more than
willing to answer questions.
Erik Bledsoe organized and over saw the
day’s events. Erik was a big help in
providing information.

Avoid Expensive Errors When Paying for College
It’s just about Back-to-School time again. If
you have young children, you might be
hustling them to the store for backpacks
and binders. But if you fast-forward a few
years, you can envision driving your kids a
little farther — to their college dorms. And
when that day comes, you’ll want to be
financially prepared. So you’ll want to avoid
making costly mistakes when preparing for,
and paying, those big bills. Here are some
of the most common of these errors:
• Not saving enough — Only half of all
families with children under 18 save any
money for college, according to a recent
study by Sallie Mae, the country’s largest
originator of federally insured student
loans. You might find it easier to save for
college if you automatically move a set
amount each month from your checking or
savings account to a college savings
vehicle.
• Not considering vehicles with growth
potential — The same Sallie Mae study
found that more parents use a general
savings account than any other method of
saving for college. But since most savings
accounts these days pay only a minimal
rate of return, you will have trouble getting
the growth potential you need to achieve
your college savings goals. Consider
working toward your college savings goals
by investing in a vehicle specifically
designed for college, such as a 529 plan or
a Coverdell plan. There are differences
between these plans, such as contribution
limits and tax treatments, but both allow
you to invest for growth potential. As with
any investment account, there are risks
involved, including market risk.
• Stopping your savings once your children
are in college — Unless your children plan
to take an awful lot of credits, they’re not
going to finish college in just one year.
Consequently, you’ll want to keep investing
in your plan or other college savings vehicle
while your children are in school.
• Taking out 401(k) loans — Your employer
may allow you to take out a loan against
your 401(k) to help pay for college. But this
may not be a good idea for two reasons:
First, when you remove money from your
401(k) — even if you plan on eventually
paying it back — you will slow the potential
accumulation in your account, thereby
depriving yourself of resources you will
eventually need for retirement. Second,
should you leave the company, you might
have to repay the loan within a limited
number of days.
• Not using available tax credits —
Depending on your income, you might
qualify for the American Opportunity tax
credit, which is worth up to $2,500,
provided you spend at least $4,000 on
college expenses. Check with your tax
professional to see if you qualify for this
credit and how to most effectively
incorporate it. And be careful you don’t
waste the credit, because you may not be
able to use it and your plan distributions at
the same time.
Paying for college can be challenging — but
if you can avoid making the above
mistakes, you’ve got a better chance of
getting your kids through school without
derailing the progress you’d like to make
toward your other financial goals.

A Note from your editor:
I was recently contacted by Chief Fuhr from the Rathdrum Police Department. As soon as
the details are hammered out, we will be inserting a police incident report!
We are still looking for some assistance in covering the stories of Rathdrum. My day job
has literally exploded so I am finding myself putting this newsletter together later and
later in the evening in the hours before publication.
If you have an event coming up, that is open to the public, or even open to an RSVP, the
sooner you can get it into us, the sooner it will hit our community calendar. To have your
event listed on our calendar is free. From the time I started my master calendar on
Saturday May 24th, it has grown to 13 pages of just events around Rathdrum. It would
not surprise me if it hit 20 pages by the end of the year. If you care to submit an article
to run the week before your event, we would be happy to run it, space permitting.
If you want to help us offset some of our costs, and promote your business at the same
time, we have a variety of advertising spots available at (what I hope is) a reasonable
price.
If you see something in error, please let us know so we can set the record straight!
