 Idaho
Apprenticeship Week just ahead: November 14-20 is
National Apprenticeship Week and marks the celebration of a proven
and time-honored career pathway. Right now, 236 Idaho businesses

Idahoans getting paid on the job. Like many Americans, Idahoans
have seen sharp increases in housing costs while the consumer

circumstances, Idaho’s workforce needs competitive job
opportunities now more than ever, and the state’s employers need
the labor. |

 An
Elmira landmark enters an eclectic new phase: Once
renowned for the best burgers in North Idaho, the grill at the

closed, but that unprepossessing old building is open once again,
now as Mountain Traders, and with a vibrancy that is sure to grow
both the legacy and the legend of the way station between Bonners
Ferry and Sandpoint. |
