Do you want to know what is sad? We have a boat accident involving two boats where one sinks, one explodes and 7 of 8 people are injured in a relatively small community and this is all the coverage it gets.
Im retyping it because it didnt make it to the Internet. It was a 6 X 2 column in the B section page 2.

TWO BOATS COLLIDE NEAR BLACK LAKE
Coeur dAlene-
County emergency response units were dispatched Saturday evening to the Coeur dAlene River for a boat accident near Black Lake.
Two vessels hit one another and a fire broke out. Occupants were forced to jump into the water and two people received burns. None of the passengers sustained life-threatening injuries. The most injured person was transported to Deaconess while six were transported to Kootenai Medical Center for minor injuries. One person was not injured.
It is still unclear what caused the boating accident and whether alcohol was a factor. The Kootenai County Sheriffs Department is investigating.

Thats it. Right next to the Community Calendar and above a North Idaho College 6 X 6 add and an ad that is 10 X 12 for a car dealership. Both those ads are in color so you dont even see the accident.
I passed it twice before Wobbles pointed it out to me.
How do you get the publics attention if stuff like this is no big deal?
Stupid people! Everything is relative. (People get stupid) PGS. (Mix booze and water) MBW. (Get into boats) GIB. OK here goes. PGS + MBW + GIB = LOOTFM
(Lots of overtime for me!).
