SAYLER: Positively right for council

Having had the pleasure of serving on a number of Tubbs Hill related projects with him, I've come to appreciate George Sayler. This calm and competent man consistently goes the extra mile, photographing the annual clean-up activities for the group's newsletter and serving on an interim committee to explore options for improved accessibility for the park that stands sentinel over our city.

It is such civic-minded willingness that will make George a positive, thoughtful member of Coeur d'Alene's City Council. He is a man who listens respectfully, thinks seriously and responds tactfully. In light of the divisiveness of recent political discussion, those traits can serve all the citizens of Coeur d'Alene well.

I'm reminded of Dr. Seuss's observation voiced by the Lorax, "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." I hope that you too care a whole awful lot and will join me in voting for George Sayler.

GEORGE IVES
