Disabled Truck? Who Ya Gonna Call?

A funny thing happened to Coeur d'Alene physical therapist Gary Bartoo en route to his son's hockey practice at Frontier Ice Rink Thursday night. His truck broke down at the busy intersection of Northwest Boulevard and Seltice Way. You may recognize the police officer who responded to the 911 dispatch SOS call -- Chief Wayne Longo -- yeah, the 2012 Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Year who was pounding the beat with his troops last night. Gary's wife, Amy, Facebooks: "Not only is Wayne Longo a phenomenal gentlemen but our esteemed CDA Citizen of The Year!!! We are lucky people tonight!"
