“I couldn’t be prouder of my girls. We’re soooooooo young,” Coeur d'Alene coach Bobbi Darretta said. “Four freshmen, two sophomores and a junior out there (starting), and two seniors in the outfield. I’m really excited for the future. I told them hang your head high … everybody had us the No. 4 team (out of four) in the league and we won league, won districts and beat the No. 1 team in the state. We weren’t even supposed to be here, so for us, that’s a win. Next year, we’re coming back, and we’re going to be stronger.”

Guardianship court should be a last resort — not a first option

If you are an adult in Idaho and become unable to make your own decisions in life due to injury, illness, or some other form of incapacity, there are generally two ways in which another person becomes the stand-in decision maker for you. The first way is through the use of a previously written and signed Power of Attorney Document in which you will have stated who it is that should make your decisions for you if you cannot do so. That stand-in decision maker is called your “Agent” or your “Attorney in Fact.” However, if you have not previously completed valid Power of Attorney documents, a judge will need to appoint someone to become your decision maker through a court process known as Guardianship and Conservatorship. If a judge has to appoint your stand-in decision maker, that person will be called your “guardian” and/or “conservator.”
