Investigators have recovered $40,000 in stolen goods in Bonner County, where they're being assisted in recovering those items from several of the people suspected of stealing the property.

Bonner County Sheriff's detective Gary Johnston said that in two weeks time burglars targeted people in and around Sandpoint.

"There were four wheelers, chainsaws, an entire safe guns," Johnston said.

In one case, for the second time in six months someone broke into Cedar Hills Church, making a getaway with quite a lot of loot.

video "You feel like you are going to throw up you feel violated. They smashed in a back window and forced their way into locked offices," Alysa McLaughlin with Cedar Hills Church said.

The thieves went so far as to take a safe with over $7,000 in funds donated to the church.

"They took a lot of electronic equipment took our laptops, our backup hard drives," McLaughlin said.

But it looks like the crime spree is coming to an end with investigators eyeing five people, and three out of those five are not in custody but are helping investigators find the stolen goods, realizing the gig is up.

State fisheries biologists are rethinking the formula used to make policy for winter lake levels at Lake Pend Oreille in an effort to improve kokanee salmon recovery.

Since the 1990s, the Idaho Department of Fish and game has relied on formulas tied to egg-to-fry survival rates when making winter pools recommendations for the lake.

But the Bonner County Daily Bee reports that new data is raising questions about the formula.

Initially, survival rates ranged between 6 and 15 percent. But rates have increased recently, even in years when the lake has been drawn down to lower levels.

The accuracy of the survival rate is important because it's the scientific basis for recommending a higher winter pool of 2,055 feet above sea level and the lower pool of 2,051 feet.
