WHITE BIRD -- Scuttlebutt about town is that summer's hot days are gone for this year, with an Indian Summer a possibility. However, the real telltale sign of a potential cold and long winter is the plethora of spiders. Longtime residents of the area claim when these creepy crawlers start advancing indoors at such a fast pace as they are this year, it will be a cold winter. Now, you can try weather.com for the real story!
A community harvest potluck is scheduled for Sept. 25 from 4-7 p.m. in the City Park. Everyone is welcome to bring a food dish from your garden, freezer, oven or crock-pot. Posters about a possible gazebo in the City Park will be on display for folks to think about and discuss with each other. The White Bird Chamber will providing lemonade refreshments and setting up tables for eating.
Burgers and other daily specials are not available from Tom Cole in the red wagon parked downtown. I've heard the food is pretty tasty and priced right, and it's hard to miss the red trailer when you come to town, so give it a try!
Canyon House erected a grand flag pole outside their gazebo. Can't wait for a breezy day to see our American flag waving so freely in the beautiful Idaho sky.
The September community newsletter has been uploaded to the White Bird Web site, so check it out, as all the photos are in beautiful color, thanks to Newsletter editor Tony Carlson.

Zelda Gordon mentioned that there was more to the story about the 1904 lynching than appeared in the June issue of the White Bird community newsletter. Zelda said that in fact, third generation Mrs. Bentz witnessed the entire awful event out her front window, as the hanging took place on their property. Frightened as she was, she remained at home until her husband returned later that day. He quickly headed to town and entered the bar with a loaded shotgun, ordering the folks who had committed the deed to remove the body and the tree! Thanks for filling in with more historical details, Zelda!
Happy birthday greetings to Barbara Lowe, Bruce Dreher, Hans Breivik, Christy Galberth, Carol Gortsema, Tyler Emig, Jim Carlson, Kathy Lucchesi, Christina Duncan, Gerald Pearce, Jack E. Marek, Mille Robinett, Jacob, Kathryn VanAcker, Dale Rosenbaum, Mas Kuwana and Debbie Johnson.
