with a response to the fair theme, "Star Spangled Memories Uniting Bonner
County" because it's obvious that we aren't united and that people with a
certain point of view want to force the other's into quiet submission. Do you
remember this poem, I'm paraphrasing..."He drew a circle that shut me out,

circle that let him in." When we put the Milky Way with the "You are here."
sign under the fair theme on the front of the booth, we were redefining
everything. That is what Fred Kirschenmann did in his speech about community.
What we are doing on our road is trying to do something positive about our
whole watershed, while the logging trucks carry their precious cargo out down
our road to a mill. Men in this rural community don't have any work. They
will extract timber and minerals as long as the law allows this.
