REALTY: Pitching plenty of positives

GIRLS: Cd'A can be proud of theirs

Your community has a role model that every girl athlete needs to copy. Formerly a Coeur d'Alene H.S. basketball player, Kama Griffitts, she plays now for NIC. Does she have a god-given athletic body? Yep! But what separates her is her work ethic and competitive drive. After the game, when most other players are going out to have fun, where's Kama? In the gym shooting for an hour or so. She was a highly sought after two-time Idaho Player of the Year who attended NIC and will attend the University of Arizona this fall. Everyone would love to have her for their daughter, in all ways !

THANKS: Purse lost, trust found

My daughter and her young family came up from Lewiston to visit us last weekend. Saturday morning, around 11, they went to Cabela's to purchase a few items. Upon leaving, they accidentally left her purse in the bottom of their shopping cart when they parked it in one of the outside return locations. They hadn't made it out of the parking lot when they realized they didn't have the purse, and immediately went back. There was one other new cart in the return location besides the one they had left, and the purse was nowhere to be seen.
