Founder's Day a success for Medical Lake
To our new friends in Medical Lake, thank you for a wonderful weekend. What a wonderful parade, very well organized, with so many great neighbors turning out in celebration. Your town could not have been more inviting and hospitable!
More importantly, it was so heart warming to see that traditional small town values are alive and well in Medical Lake.
A Founder's Day weekend is more then just a great car show, fun athletic competition, or a dynamite barbeque; it's a chance for people to pull back together to remind themselves where they came from, and where they're going.
Thank you for proving that deep down, it's the spirit of the people that make a town great.
Keep up the good work!

July 4 rally in Veteran's Park scheduled
I talked to Ninth District legislative candidate Art Swannack on the phone the other day and he said, “The Fourth of July is much more than a birthday party.” He said he would explain that statement at the Independence Day rally in (Cheney's) Veteran's Memorial Park on July 4 at 10 a.m.
Remember, the park is Fourth Street across from the Cheney Fire Department. I can remember that: the Fourth on the Fourth. See you there.

Save the old train depot for future travel
I have been reading the articles in the paper regarding the train station, and I must agree with you that the train station is too special to be torn down.
It would make a terrific coffee stand…well, we have some of those. How about a nice little sandwich place, sort of on the scale of Sweet Savoy, which I really enjoyed! Too many of those places? Well, let's think out of the box. What about a train station for a light rail system like they have in Portland? Now that makes sense. Something that would be such a boon to the community and to the students and town folk who could use it back and forth to Spokane instead of all the cars.
I don't see a light rail system in the works soon, so wouldn't it be smart to place the little station somewhere safe, maybe even use it as a museum of the early era of train service in Cheney, and when the time is right, we make it back into what it always has been.
I bet it can be moved. Those guys can move anything. Let's not destroy it, let's preserve it.
