DERUYTER: Candidate a caring neighbor
Bill Deruyter is my neighbor. He is a highly qualified candidate for the Sub District 3 Fire Commissioner for the Northern Lakes Fire Protection District. But more than that, he is a man with integrity, ingrained with service. His life reflects this.
When I moved here in 2013, a friend invited me to pick plums in Rathdrum. I jumped on the opportunity and left a chicken boiling on my stove. When I came home three hours later, my neighbor Bill was at my house with all the doors and windows open and fans in every room. Two houses away, he heard my smoke alarm through an open window, checked it out and took action! He saved our 120-year-old, newly remodeled, and historical home as the first Strahorn family farmhouse. I felt so grateful to this man who cared enough to check it out. Multiple times, Bill has also saved my chickens from raccoons, being in tune to activity in the neighborhood.
