Marty and Max: Clagstone Ranch – The Spirit of North Idaho's Rugged Individualism

Wyatt Earp, the legendary lawman of the Wild West, arrived in Coeur d’Alene during the rush of 1884 and was appointed deputy sheriff of Kootenai County. According to the Spokane Falls Review, in one particularly heated altercation, around 50 shots were exchanged when Wyatt and his brother Jim stepped between the warring factions.

Encouraging words have more impact than we know

That's why it's important that we do better to acknowledge those around us. It doesn't have to be a grand spectacle. Just a note. A text. A phone call. A card. I'm not saying we should all be cheerleaders. I am saying that a kind, encouraging word can be the difference between a good day and a bad day; between feeling like you blew it and feeling like you won the lottery.
