Charlie Nipp received a standing ovation from 200 fellow citizens this morning at the Upbeat Breakfast. Why? Leadership Coeur d'Alene honored Charlie for his lifetime of community service. Mebbe Leadership Coeur d'Alene should send copies of the achievement award to the Coeur d'Alene Press, OpenCDA.com and state Sen. Mike Jorgenson, R-Hayden Lake -- in case they're looking for material for an editorial, blog post, or legislative speech that does something other than attack Coeur d'Alene's native son.
