Congratulations to Coeur d’Alene High School senior Joanna Hover, winner of United Way of North Idaho’s annual Spring Dash T-Shirt Design Contest.
Joanna won a $150 award check and bragging rights as her design, which features several tulips and race courses, will be featured on this year’s race shirts. This is the 38th year for the Spring Dash.
“It’s really cool,” Joanna said. “I want to study graphic design and hopefully keep making things for clients, so it’s cool, especially once I get the shirts, to see it physically.”

Lake City High Principal Deanne Clifford reflects on 30 years in education
In a 30-year career filled with profound joy, sadness, challenges and successes, Deanne Clifford pinpointed one moment that outshined the rest: 2011 graduation. She was sitting on the stage before the begowned graduates preparing for her next emcee task when the valedictorian, Mark Smyly, asked her up to the lectern to present her with gift. “This plaque right here is the epitome of just what a first-year principal would want,” Clifford said May 9 during an interview in her office, taking down a gleaming plaque from her wall. The plaque is engraved with the appreciation the Class of 2011 felt for their principal for her leadership, expertise and dedication in making their school so successful. "I was in awe of the room, in awe of the students," she said. "We had prepared so much for graduation, and I was just overwhelmed with emotion. And then to be celebrated, it was the epitome of my career. And I’ve had some incredible moments. This was something that I’ll never, never forget."

Athol Elementary, Timberlake High time capsule unearthed after 25 years
The suspense was palpable as people excitedly peered into the small pit Mikie Cutler was excavating on the Timberlake High School front lawn Monday afternoon. Through soil, rocks and thick tree roots, Cutler dug for two barrels that were buried 25 years ago, filled with items placed by Athol Elementary and Timberlake High students to celebrate the outgoing century while welcoming a new one. “I cannot stand it,” said an eager Patricia Wilson, a retired Athol Elementary teacher whose former students were among those involved in the time capsule project she also helped facilitate. “I want so badly for him to hit something that we know what it is," she said. "We have all been just on pins and needles the last couple weeks waiting for this day to come."
