SR Headlines (2/2/05)


*CdA voters pass library, safety bonds: Measures total $10 million for improvements/Erica Curless, SR -- A two-thirds supermajority represents a ha-huge mountain to climb in passing a bond. The city's children, as well as the downtown, just received a terrific boost because dedicated community leaders persisted in getting their message out re. these important bonds.

*Bets on N.Y. ponies are off: CdA Casino casualty of mob indictment/Bill Morlin, SR -- Mebbe that's why they call it gambling. Sometimes, the House takes a hit, too.

*Sexual harassment cases down in Idaho: State's Human Rights Commission sees slight decline in all discrimination charges/Betsy Russell, SR -- If you're working in fast foods, however, don't let your guard down.

*A long way to go for a little snow: Some suggesting season-pass holders go to sister resorts in other states/Gene Johnson, AP -- I feel bad for skiers, our resorts and our watershed. As a non-skier, however, I don't feel too bad that we've had a mild winter.

*Suspended students get to work: Program puts teens on community service projects/Taryn Brodwater, SR -- Three cheers for the Post Falls School District who punishes bad behavior with productive work rather than a mini-vacation.
