The best way to keep them "in line" is to let them know we are watching...very intently for actions such as: giving special "treats" to business, non-conforming unpaved parking lots, tax breaks for special interests, reductions in support for public transportation and alternative transportation, reductions in public parks funding, behind the scenes deals, allowances for untaxed based "businesses" in downtown, and encouragement for development outside the city limits. This list, I am certain, will be expanded as the Greater Moscow Alliance thinks of new ways to enrich themselves. </div><div>Roger <br></div> <div

Tribune<br><br>----------------------------------<br>New mayor readies for his entrance<br>Bill Lambert says he will take time to learn the details of Moscow's policies before he makes any recommendations<br>MOSCOW - Bill Lambert is excited to get into office, but Moscow's incoming mayor says he has a lot studying to do before making any drastic changes.<br>"I kind of want to get a feel for everything, and that's how I operate," said Lambert, who is a manager at Safeway.<br>Lambert succeeds Nancy Chaney as Moscow's mayor, and will officially be sworn into office during the city council's meeting Monday night. Newly elected or re-elected city councilors Walter Steed, John Weber and Art Bettge will also be sworn in Monday.<br>Lambert has already begun preparing for his new role, and said he will spend much of the day leading up to his swearing in at city hall meeting with staff and going over the council's agenda for the night.<br>Even with his
preparation, Lambert said he's not the type of person to just decide something needs to be changed without understanding it thoroughly beforehand - that's shooting from the hip.<br>Instead, he said he plans to spend the first few weeks in office learning the ins and outs of various policies and operations. If something needs to be changed, Lambert said he should be able to provide a list of reasons why.<br>The new mayor plans to focus on creating a clear direction for Moscow's future, something he said has been lacking in recent years.<br>"I just think that we need to get people together, moving the sled together," he said.<br>That includes working to build light industry in town, enhancing the city's relationship with the University of Idaho and building on how those two institutions can work together. Lambert said if Moscow could strengthen those efforts, the city would be unstoppable.<br>One way he intends to try to accomplish that is by having a
close relationship with the UI president, with the hopes that by working together they can find a way to get some students to stay in Moscow after graduation. Lambert said he thinks retaining young professionals can help to grow businesses in the area.<br>Lambert said he also wants continue some of the programs already in place at the city that focus on water conservation, like the regularly scheduled water summits.<br>Accomplishing that kind of work will require the community, Lambert said, and all its individual parts capitalizing on everyone's skills. But the council has to be open to different ideas, he said.<br>"We don't know what we can't do because we haven't done it yet," he said.<br>Lambert is eager to help point out hidden potential of individuals and within the community of Moscow. Lambert said he's passionate about finding the hidden potential in people because it will often lead to remarkable outcomes that sometimes people didn't know were
possible.<br>But it's a process that won't just happen overnight, he said, especially when considering there are also the city's day-to-day functions like police and fire protection that have to be carried out.<br>"Those are the first and foremost things for us all to keep in mind," Lambert said.<br>Lambert will continue working part-time at Safeway. He enjoys the job and said it gives him a good opportunity to have Moscow residents meet with him.<br>"Being mayor, I've got to be an ambassador for Moscow," Lambert said. "That's what I want to achieve."<br>----------------------------------<br><br>Not one specificity anywhere in the interview.<br><br>Just what The readers of the Lewiston Tribune need on this cold Weekend . . . hot air.<br><br>One can hardly (and painfully) imagine what the next few years will be like. We'll just have to wait, watch, and see (as I stock up with public records requests).<br><br>That said, I have one question for Mr.
Lambert that was not (and should have been) asked of him during the pre-election debates . . . <br><br>With whom do you place your primary loyalties, Mr. Lambert . . .

Phil Everly, who formed an influential harmony duo with his brother, Don, that touched the hearts and sparked the imaginations of rock ?n? roll singers for decades, including the Beatles and Bob Dylan, died Friday.<br><br>Everly, 74, died of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at a Burbank hospital, said his son Jason Everly.<br><br>Phil and Don Everly helped draw the blueprint of rock ?n? roll in the late 1950s and 1960s with a high harmony that captured the yearning and angst of a nation of teenage baby boomers looking for a way to express themselves beyond the simple platitudes of the pop music of the day.<br><br>The Beatles, early in their career, once referred to themselves as ?the English Everly Brothers.? And Bob Dylan once said, ?We owe these guys everything. They started it all.?<br><br>The Everlys? hit records included the then-titillating ?Wake Up Little Susie? and the universally identifiable ?Bye Bye Love,? each featuring their twined
voices with lyrics that mirrored the fatalism of country music and a rocking backbeat that more upbeat pop. These sounds and ideas would be warped by their devotees into a new kind of music that would ricochet around the world.<br><br>In all, their career spanned five decades, although they performed separately from 1973 to 1983. In their heyday between 1957 and 1962, they had 19 top 40 hits.<br><br>The two broke up amid quarrelling in 1973 after 16 years of hits, then reunited in 1983, ?sealing it with a hug,? Phil Everly said.<br><br>Although their number of hit records declined in the late 1980s, they made successful concert tours in this country and Europe.<br><br>They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986, the same year they had a hit pop-country record, ?Born Yesterday.?<br><br>Don Everly, who survives his brother, was born in 1937 in Brownie, Ky., to Ike and Margaret Everly, who were folk and country music singers. Phil Everly
was born to the couple on Jan. 19, 1939, in Chicago where the Everlys moved to from Brownie when Ike grew tired of working in the coal mines.<br><br>The brothers began singing country music in 1945 on their family?s radio show in Shenandoah, Iowa.<br><br>Their career breakthrough came when they moved to Nashville in the mid-1950s and signed a recording contract with Cadence Records.<br><br>Their breakup came dramatically during a concert at Knott?s Berry Farm in California. Phil Everly threw his guitar down and walked off, prompting Don Everly to tell the crowd, ?The Everly Brothers died 10 years ago.?<br><br>During their breakup, they pursued solo singing careers with little fanfare.<br><br>Don Everly said in a 1986 Associated Press interview that the two were successful because ?we never followed trends. We did what we liked and followed our instincts. Rock ?n? roll did survive, and we were right about that. Country did survive, and we were right
about that. You can mix the two but people said we couldn?t.?<br><br>----------------------------------<br><br>Just a few of the memories . . .<br><br>"All I Have to Do is Dream"<br><a href="http://www.tomandrodna.com/Songs/EverlyBrothers/All_I_Have_To_Do_Is_Dream.mp3" target="_blank">http://www.TomandRodna.com/Songs/EverlyBrothers/All_I_Have_To_Do_Is_Dream.mp3</a><br> <br>"Bye Bye Love"<br><a href="http://www.tomandrodna.com/Songs/EverlyBrothers/Bye_Bye_Love.mp3" target="_blank">http://www.TomandRodna.com/Songs/EverlyBrothers/Bye_Bye_Love.mp3</a><br> <br>"Let It Be Me"<br><a href="http://www.tomandrodna.com/Songs/EverlyBrothers/Let_It_Be_Me.mp3" target="_blank">http://www.TomandRodna.com/Songs/EverlyBrothers/Let_It_Be_Me.mp3</a><br><br>"Cathy's Clown"<br><a href="http://www.tomandrodna.com/Songs/EverlyBrothers/Cathys_Clown.mp3" target="_blank">http://www.TomandRodna.com/Songs/EverlyBrothers/Cathys_Clown.mp3</a><br><br>"Walk Right Back"<br><a
