Inside Huckleberries — 11/16/06

* Christie Wood , Public Information Officer for the Coeur d’Alene Police Department (and occasional HBO poster), will read her new children’s book, “The Adventure of Woodville,” at the library on Nov. 30. Wood, who began writing after returning to college as an adult, said her book is the story of a little pug dog names Oscar the Prince of Wales. He lives at Woodville – a large farm – with all of his animal friends. This is the first story in a series.

*There was some comment here yesterday re: whether Debra Heise was free to comment about the Davis (girl in the fire) case. Here’s what Idaho code sez: “A judge shall not, while a proceeding is pending or impending in any court, make any public comment that might reasonably be expected to affect its outcome or impair its fairness or make any nonpublic comment that might substantially interfere with a fair trial or hearing. The judge shall require similar abstention on the part of court personnel subject to the judge’s direction and control. This Section does not prohibit judges from making public statement in the course of their official duties or from explaining for public information the procedures of the court. This Section does not apply to proceedings in which the judge is a litigant in a personal capacity.” I put in the underlines.

* Ken Paulman: I’ve sent the comments on to the designer - thanks again to everyone for the great feedback. I only had about three people volunteer to be identified, so we’ll stick with the screen names for the sake of consistency. I’ve talked it over with Gary Graham, and we’re both fine with that. Look for the story on the back page of the Today section on Sunday.
