Huckleberries Online

Inside Huckleberries — 8/9/05

*For those keeping score at home, former SR CdA bureau chief Marnie Lombard has taken a job with Gonzaga, writing and editting the Spirit newsletter for the university faculty and staff.
...
*Parks Director Doug Eastwood sez the smelly honeybuckets at NIC beach operate -- or don't -- under the auspices of the college not the city. (Remember my sister-in-law's recent bad experience of opening the honeybucket door at NIC beach and seeing my 5-year-old nephew standing in human feces on the portable floor?) He's been trying to get the college to go in with the city in contracting public toilet services on the waterfront.
...
*Jim Hagengruber/SR showed his dedication to the news biz yesterday when he worked all day covering the Pomeroy fire and then drove about 30 miles into Lewiston around midnight to buy a $27 sleeping bag so he could bed down in a Grant County Fairgrounds horse stall.
...
*Another reminder: Glen Kasses/SR has a terrific blog re: the WSU Cougars' football team here.
...
*Pageviews: Summer blog numbers topped 25,000 last week for the first time in awhile, with four of the five weekdays posting over 4000. For the year, Huckleberries Online has had 646,025 PV as we continue to push toward 1 million for the year by mid-November.
