The Liberty Lake Satanists – which would be a great name for a Hoopfest team or a best-ball foursome – are still waiting for their chance to pray. Same with the Wiccans and Jains. Not to mention Hindus and Muslims. And all the other scary folks who might hope to share their non-Christian prayers in the land of golf and prosperity. The Liberty Lake City Council there has drawn a line in the sand trap: Only Christian prayers before council meetings. That’s not the letter of the law, but it is very much the spirit. The letter says only that members of the council and the mayor may give the invocation before the meetings. In practice, this means a Christian prayer – if not an explicitly Mormon one – every single time/Shawn Vestal, SR. More here.

Question: Should City Council meetings permit only Christian invocations?

Any world record you’d like to attempt?

Extra patrols are underway at a popular dog park at the state line because police say it’s being used by men looking to have sexual encounters. Patricia Simonet Laughing Dog Park was the first dog park in the Spokane area but now Liberty Lake police say that men show up, meet and have sex in the park. They say the men are becoming more brazen and the problem is getting worse as people are trolling the park’s parking lot at all hours of the day. Jill Regalado and her dogs come to the dog park a lot but she didn’t realize what else goes on here/McKay Allen, KXLY. More here.

Question: Should Coeur d’Alene be worried that its soon to open dog park, Central Bark adjacent to the Northshire subdivison off Atlas, will attract the same problem?
