My 2 Cents — A Return To Prime Time

After 25 years, print Huckleberries finally has made it to Sunday, including front page in a news stand near you. Beginning next Sunday, Huckleberries and Betsy Russell will share the front page of the now-combined Handle Extra. The old Handle Extra (Saturday) and Prairie Voice (Thursday) will be folded into the one Sunday edition and be circulated throughout North Idaho. For those keeping score at home, Huckleberries appeared for almost 20 years in the Monday edition of the SR’s Idaho regional newspaper. Under former Editor Steve Smith, it was first broken into daily columnets of 6 to 8 inches and then migrated to the Prairie Voice and Handle Extra two years ago. Additionally, the new Handle Extra will include some of your Huckleberries Online favorites: OrangeTV (restaurant reviews), Bayview Herb & CindyH. You’ll also get Nils Rosdahl, weather woman Michelle Boss, and columns from Rathdrum & Sandpoint. On news stands, Handle Extra will wrap around the newspaper & become the front page. In other words, don’t be surprised to see my mug smiliing back at you from the news stand in your favorite restaurant Sunday. I consider this the best thing to happen to my print column since it lost its regular Monday perch.

Question: Do any of you remember the name of my original three-dot print column?
