Bought my son a sled at Hardings this afternoon. He was so happy, carried it around while we were running errands. Unfortunately as we were loading into the car, the sled got left behind on Main Street. The sled was left outside near Hardings and where Bloomers used to be. I already called Hardings, but the sled was already gone. If anyone picked up the long blue plastic sled, not knowing the story, please take it back to Hardings and let them know it belongs to a little boy named Deco. Thank you!

Silver Mountain Resort in Kellogg will open Saturday. Schweitzer Mountain Resort near Sandpoint opened Saturday and will resume operations Friday.

   After a tumultuous season of last-second losses and big-game disappointments, Southern California took the Coliseum field playing only for respect and history against Notre Dame.

That's more than enough motivation in this famed rivalry, and Cody Kessler put his name into Irish football lore while he led the Trojans' romp.

Kessler passed for 372 yards and threw two of his six touchdown passes to George Farmer, propelling USC to a 49-14 victory over Notre Dame on Saturday in the 85th edition of the intersectional matchup.

A Coast Guard crew has towed in a fishing vessel taking on water near the mouth of the Columbia River.

The agency said Friday the Hornet was about three miles west of the river entrance when the crew radioed for help, saying the vessel was disabled.
A motor boat crew delivered it to a marina in Ilwaco, Washington, where the craft was to be checked out and repaired if necessary. It's based in Newport, Oregon.
