Dashing through the snow ends in tragedy on Schweitzer

User Rating: / 4

I was visiting a friend in Sandpoint, Idaho, on Tuesday when a teenage boy, William C. Johnson, who was a dear friend of her family, was killed in a skiing accident at Schweitzer Mountain Resort. The 15 year old Sandpoint High School sophomore was on the south bowl while descending C Chute when he hit a tree.

I send my prayers and condolences to my friend, her husband and sons, and the Johnson family.

This tragedy underscored the importance of never taking the presence of loved ones for granted. You just don't know what day might be their last.

Tell the people you love that you love them. Give them a big hug if you can. Blame it on too much Christmas cheer if you must. Remember your blessings and appreciate what you have in this life because nothing lasts forever.

Heads of Agency International Space Station
The heads of the International Space Station (ISS) agencies from Canada, Europe, Japan, Russia and the United States met in Tokyo, Japan, on March 11, 2010, to review ISS cooperation. From the left are Dr. Keiji Tachikawa, President of the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency, Charles Bolden, NASA Administrator; Jean-Jacques Dordain, Director General of the European Space Agency; Anatoly N. Permirov, Head of the Russian Space Agency; and, Dr. Steve MacLean, President of the Canadian Space Agency. With the assembly of the ISS nearing completion and the capability to support a full-time crew of six established, they noted the outstanding opportunities now offered by the ISS for on-orbit research and for discovery including the operation and management of the world's largest international space complex. The heads of agency reaffirmed the importance of full exploitation of the station's scientific, engineering, utilization, and education potential. They noted that there are no identified technical constraints to continuing ISS operations beyond the current planning horizon, and that the partnership is currently working to certify on-orbit elements through 2028. They emphasized their common intent to undertake the necessary procedures within their respective governments to reach consensus later this year on the continuation of the ISS to the next decade.

Help Make A Difference! Donate Today.

The Inland Echo is taking donations on behalf of Lakeview Cemetery in Sprague for a field trimmer ($600 cost) to knock down the heavy overgrowth. Lakeview does not receive public funds, so volunteer donations are the only way to support the work to renovate this forgotten, historic final resting place of dozens of people, including many veterans. Please help us accomplish this important work. Thank you!
