Two people accused of robbing Lewiston Rite-Aid

A woman is in jail on suspicion of robbing the pharmacy department at the Lewiston Rite-Aid.

According to Lewiston police, just before 9 p.m. Tuesday, Jamie Aubrey, 31, passed a threatening note to the pharmacy clerk and demanded prescription narcotics.

Rite-Aid workers followed the woman outside, where she jumped into a waiting vehicle.

Police said they found that car at 17th Street and 23rd Avenue shortly after it was reported. Inside the car, police said they found clothes that were used as a disguise in the robbery, and the stolen narcotics.

When she was interviewed by police, Aubrey admitted to passing the note and robbing the store.

David Evans, 26, was also arrested. Both were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy and robbery.

Police said no weapon was found on Aubrey or Evans.

Hudson Hornets Roll Into Sandpoint

Hudson Hornets Roll Into Sandpoint

 

Each fall Sandpoint and the surrounding hillsides burn with the beauty of the changing fall colors. People breathe in the fresh mountain air and enjoy the fleeting scenery.

On Saturday, October 20th, some of the temporary beauty was provided by the Gem State Chapter of the Hudson, Essex & Terraplane car club.

“My dad brought me home from the hospital in one and I’ve had one ever since,” said Charlie Nau, sitting in the front seat of his 1957 Hudson Hornet.

He drove from Missoula, Montana along with his club-mates Greg Maroney and Kathy Burrington of Kalispel, Montana, to Sandpoint for the seventh and final meeting of the year for the club.

Eight of the historic cars made the trip this year. A forecast of rain and possibly snow kept many of the 128 members away.

“Can you imagine driving a 1937 Terraplane all the way from Kalispell in a snow storm?” asked Kathy Burrington while sitting comfortably in the passenger’s seat of Nau’s Hudson.

Maroney would have been happy to drive the Terraplane from Kalispel, but, sometimes, it’s just best to sit back and enjoy the ride of a friend’s car.

Hobbyist miner backs off Salmon River dredge plans

A Grangeville miner who has angered environmentalists with plans to dredge for gold along a stretch of the Salmon River says he's no longer interested in the idea.

Mike Conklin says he is abandoning an exclusive lease granted to him by the state last month to dredge the riverbed downstream of Riggins.

Conklin told the Lewiston Tribune he backing off because there is not enough gold in the riverbed to make the effort worth his time.

The Idaho Land Board approved a lease for Conklin despite objections from conservationists and anglers who argued the mining operation would harm fish habitat and water quality.

That decision prompted the Idaho Conservation League to sue the state for failing require Conklin to file a formal plan to reclaim the riverbed.
