Howard Martinson: Captain Wayne Longo is a fabulous choice for chief. Superb background in both practical police work and academically. I consider Wayne a great community leader and a friend. How many of you know he was the driver for the CdA Pirate Ship Float in the July 4 parade? I'll continue to feel much safer here than in my hometown 30 miles to the West. Congrats, Wayne!

DFO: Speaking of Wayne Longo, Dick Haugen, the "Voice of North Idaho," has lined up the new police chief for his first "Dick Haugen on the Road" interview Monday.
