Rhodes just announces 32 scholars for 2012 and two of them are from right here in the Inland Northwest. University of Washington students Byron Gray and Cameron Turtle were both selected from a pool of 830 candidates nominated by their colleges.

The University of Washington is the only public university in the country to have more than one new scholar.

Gray, of Post Falls, is majoring in political science, law and Asian studies. He wrote his thesis on family law, human rights and religious sectarianism in India, according to the Rhodes Trust.

A group of Post Falls Police are being honored by the Department with the Life Saving Award. They rescued people inside the Falls Park Apartments when it caught fire in late September. No one was injured and everyone got out safely. The Post Falls Police Department got help from Rathdrum Police, the Kootenai County Sheriff's Department and Fire and Rescue.

The City of Post Falls is looking for your opinion about pedestrian and bicycle facilities.

There is a survey up on the Post Falls City website where you can give your input about improvements. 

The current pedestrian and bicycle facilities were looked over by city staff, who developed a list of improvements, including better access to the City Center area.

On the website you can see the survey, support maps and ranking tables.

According to the city, facility improvements that are currently funded, including the Highway 41 Trail beneath the I-90 Overpass and the Clark Fork Rail crossing, are not on the list.
