1. Man arrested again after domestic violence charges
A Post Falls man accused of beating and choking a woman is in jail after he reportedly failed to appear in court.
Daniel P. Winter, 43, of Post Falls is charged with attempted strangulation and domestic battery with traumatic injury, both felonies.
The charges stem from August, when police responded to reports of a domestic disturbance at Winter’s residence.
2. New treatment facility on the horizon for Kingston
Big things are coming for the Kingston-Cataldo Sewer District now that plans are in place for a new treatment facility near Kingston.
KCSD manager Jon Groth recently spoke with the Shoshone County commissioners to discuss progress being made on getting the facility funded, built and operational.
He said KCSD acquired a 130-acre property between Kelly Gulch and French Gulch that will house the planned facility. The property was purchased after the district was awarded $6.1 million to create a new land application treatment plan and lift station last year.
3. THE DIRT: Community input needed!
Effective communication can help resolve conflicts, prevent misunderstandings and is essential for building and maintaining relationships. Creating an open line of communication is a great step toward building trust within a community. With this in mind, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is seeking your input on their new Community Involvement Plan for the Bunker Hill/Coeur d’Alene Basin Superfund Site.
A CIP is a site-specific strategy to enable meaningful community involvement throughout the Superfund cleanup process. Once completed, the final plan will describe how EPA will provide information and coordinate with partners and communities on-site cleanup activities.
