I was impressed by the long list of accomplishments attributed to Mayor Ray Miller in his campaign ad of Oct. 19. Many of these so-called accomplishments resulted from City Council decisions, some of which passed despite the mayor's opposition. Notably absent from the list was the mayor's successful opposition to the establishment of a dog park on Sandpoint public land. During the Parks and Recreation Commission consideration of a dog park, Miller made it clear that he opposed the idea. Naturally, the motion failed to go to the City Council.

Events must appeal to wide variety of interests
I just heard that we may be losing a couple of events at the fairgrounds. My family and I do not go to the horse events. We attend the fair, but we really enjoy going to the mud drags and the demo derby. I just can't understand how the fairgrounds, having sell-outs for both of these events can stop them because the horse people are crying about how the arena was built for them and not for motor sports.

County needs to let museum stay open
I am writing to express my sentiments regarding the Bird museum. It is not often that a gift is so generously given to a community of the caliber of the Bird Museum. Not only has Dr. Forrest Bird saved countless lives with the invention of his various respirators, but he has also, through his museum, paid tribute to many, many people, of all walks of life, who have affected nearly everyone's daily lives through their various inventions. Wealthy individuals often are ridiculed for their lifestyles, no matter how they spend their money, and it is very sad that the small-minded petty jealousies of a few interfere with the ability to appreciate a gift given from the heart and the big picture of true charity demonstrated by the Birds.
