You may need two cups of coffee this morning in order to have enough time to read everything in today's Valley Voice. East Valley School District superintendent John Glenewinkel recently spent some time answering reporter Lisa Leinberger's questions about the proposed re-visioning plan for the district and how that relates to a possible construction bond.

The Spokane Valley City Council met this week to approve the procedure for filling the vacant council seat and to hear a report on the full-width paving program that goes with the installation of sewer lines by Spokane County. Correspondent Cindy Hval has a nice story on Healing Hearts Northwest, a group of local doctors and nurses who travel to Rwanda to perform needed heart surgeries. The group has two fundraisers coming up this month to help pay for the next trip.

The Liberty Lake City Council welcomed a new parks and open spaces superintendent during its meeting this week. Also in Liberty Lake, a resident spotted a garage burglar who's description matches that of the man police arrested for similar crimes in Liberty Lake in December.
