Next Vote Dedicated To Nick Scherling Letter Of The Week From Nov. 19

Many may remember you, Nick Scherling. I so well remember the lively young boy at the Seltice 1996 Christmas Band and Choir Concert. You were the one in the back row to the right.

No one could miss you with your bright, brown eyes, huge smile, singing with a joyfulness and moving your body to the music. There was no doubt you were in your element, on stage, singing and performing with great enthusiasm. You brought new meaning to the term, “live performance!” You brought a smile to my face then, as you do now. Although now, I must smile through tears. I didn’t know you personally, but I saw you that night alive and with great potential.

I have always voted for the Post Falls School District bond levies because I believe in putting kids and education first. No matter what is said, the fact remains, it is unsafe to put kids out on dark streets during high traffic times of day.

In March of 1998 I’ll vote yes to a new high school in Post Falls for the third time. But this time, it will be in remembrance of you, Nick. Kristi A. Bell Post Falls xxxx
