COEUR d’ALENE — A 2-year-old grizzly bear is roaming the North Fork of the Coeur d’Alene River drainage, and wildlife managers warn hunters and campers to be more cautious this fall. “This bear has had no conflicts with people,” said Idaho Department of Fish and Game spokesman Phil Cooper, adding

there have been several sightings near Kingston. “This is not a problem bear.” The grizzly is one of 18 grizzlies that have been trapped in the Flathead River drainage in Montana and relocated to the Cabinet Mountain grizzly augmentation project. “Unfortunately they don’t all stay there or survive long enough to reproduce,” said Wayne Kasworm, who is part of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Grizzly Recovery team.

Remembering Sept. 11

Local flight attendant, pilot regularly worked Flight 11 from Boston By JAMIE SEDLMAYER jsedlmayer@cdapress.com COEUR d’ALENE — Sept. 11, 2001, was remembered across the nation Friday, but for a pilot and flight attendant at Coeur d’Alene’s memorial ser vice, their

memories go deeper. The events that unfolded 14 years ago were watched on television and read in newspapers around the world. Many strangers mourned alongside the families of the lost and the survivors of the terrorist attack. Lisa Davey, of Coeur d’Alene, is an American Airlines flight attendant who was based in Boston during the attacks. She regularly worked Flight 11 and knew the

crew that was lost that day like family. Her husband, Whit Davey, is an American Airlines pilot who also worked out of Boston during 9/11. Whit, who flew the Boston to Los Angeles route regularly, was on vacation that fateful day. “I flew those flights,” Whit said. “That was a plane I flew.” see SEPT. 11, A6
