Inside Huckleberries — 6/20/07
*Taryn Brodwater reports she's received a number of calls from readers wanting to help Kendra Goodrick, the young mother who's facing a return to prison after an appeals court overturned the probation that Judge John Mitchell gave her.
*Hmm. The flyer circulated online by the anti-LCDC crowd (Goodkin, Culbreth and Sims, in this instance) here seems to indicate that Idaho Superintendent of Schools Tom Luna will be the featured speaker at the urban renewal bashfest at the Coeur d'Alene Inn Monday. But Luna's office tells us that the boss'll be there only to listen. Was the wording intentionally misleading to give the impression that Luna was on board the U.S.S. CAVE?
*Inside The SR Blogs: Editor Steve Smith plans to make News Is A Conversation into his personal blog later this week. He explains why here.
*Shawn Murphy/Coeur d'Alene Brewing Co. writes: "I have made your blog one of my daily stops and really enjoy reading it. I just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know that CDA Brewing Co is a Wi-Fi access point and invite you down to enjoy one of our award winning micro-brews while you work on Huckleberries. Thanks and keep up the great work."
*Huckleberries hears ... that Maxim mag has named former Zag Adam Morrison one of the 15 biggest "Nancies" (read: girly men) in sports for his crying 2006 crying jag at the end of the NCAA basketball tournament loss to UCLA. But I can't see that for myself b/c our office filter won't let me access Maxim. Is it that naughty of a site?
*Dan of the County e-mailed a wonderful photo that his wife took a coupla days ago of a moose in the middle channel of Twin Lakes. It'll be this evening's parting shot, if I wait that long to post it.
*An Office Wag e-mails: "At the North Idaho Democratic Party rally scheduled for this Saturday in Post Falls: Elvis impersonator Doug Spence of St. Maries and his band will entertain. Seems appropriate. ... Elvis is dead and so are the Idaho Dems."
