In last two weeks Eastern Washington and North Idaho have seen over five ATV accidents including one death in the LC Valley last week. While ATV riding is fun, it's important to learn proper technique to remain safe.

“We think it takes special skills to ride an ATV,” says Dale Stevens, a licensed ATV safety instructor with the ATV Safety Institute. ASI is a non-profit sponsored by the all the major ATV manufacturers. Instructors like Stevens teach regular safety classes to educate riders on proper technique, safety skills and the responsibilities that come with owning and riding ATVs.

After taking his course many riders tell Stevens that they didn't know what a work out riding is and that they expected it to be easier. Stevens says that a lot of people expect ATVs to be like riding a couch on wheels but it that it takes a lot of physical effort and knowledge of how ATVs operate to remain safe while riding.

For the first time in 20 years the Plummer-Worley School District will submit a supplemental levy to voters. The district says they are requesting the levy because of decreasing state and federal funding in conjunction with increasing expenses. 

Over the last seven years the district's general funds have decreased by $1.6 million. Because of this there have been $1.3 million in staffing cuts. If the levy passes the district will use it to keep existing staff, keep full-time kindergarten, provide required courses, replace school safety equipment, and to replace obsolete text books.

Because of funding cuts, the district was unable to offer band and art classes this year. District officials say that if the levy does not pass that some athletics will have to be cut as well. The levy election will be on May 21, for more information visit the district website http://www.pwsd44.com.
