Parting Shot — 5.22.13

In this Duane Rasmussen photo from Tuesday, Christa Hazel leaves her SUV to greet volunteers who were holding her signs near Bryan Elementary. Hazel, who was denied appointment to Zone 1 vacancies three different times, led a sweep of candidates endorsed by Balance North Idaho over appointed trustees who were endorsed by the Kootenai County Reagan Republicans. One of the three winners — Hazel, Dave Eubanks or Tom Hearn — likely will replace Tom Hamilton as the Coeur d’Alene School Board chairman after s/he takes office next month.
