May the Force be with you

Steve Smith started today’s morning meeting by complimenting today’s 7, specifically Frank Sennett’s Hard 7, which he called “a hoot” and the Sexcetra column.

Smith also mentioned John Craig’s Siberian tiger story from A. “Any day you’ve got a good tiger story on A1 — you’ve got to call that a win,” Smith said.

There was a short conversation about the Spokane Police Department’s admission that they were wrong about a Valentine’s Day arrest.
“This would not have happened before (Anne) Kirkpatrick,” Smith said. “There is absolutely something different going on over there.”

Today’s All-Star’s according to editors all around the table were (in no particular order):

Parker Howell: UI to design new pavilion , Sandpoint campus passes first test

Melodie Little: Face of home ownership is changing

Rich Roesler: Richard Petty calls NASCAR track ‘win-win’ , 1777 letter a closely watched item

Chris Anderson: Students dig up group’s rich past , Siberian tiger

Steve Smith closed the loop on an earlier conversation about Chad Vader . He said that after watching all of the episodes on youtube he would encourage everyone to watch them.

Looking ahead:

We are following stories in both Boise and Olympia.

Be well.
