Panida news is charmingly refreshing

Imagine my surprise! After weeks of scanning grave and shocking headlines on national newspapers and web sites, notices of bombings here and massacres there, I pick up my copy of the April 7 edition of the Bonner County Daily Bee and see the headline for the lead story. It is this: “Panida to Expand Women’s Bathroom.”

If that’s the most shocking thing happening in Sandpoint, our town is utopia — and the Daily Bee is its charming voice!
