I would like to acknowledge the dedication of love from a daughter to her father, Nick Psaris.

We should all be so lucky to have someone care for us during our lives and after we are gone. She put together the most meaningful funeral service I have ever attended, gave a tribute about her dad to the Gateway, tied up loose ends that he didn’t get the chance to and continues to thank everyone who touched his life.

I have watched her do these things and deal with so much more at the same time. I don’t know anyone with such emotional intelligence and big heart.

So, Rita, on behalf of your dad and those of us blessed to have you in our lives, well done and thank you.

    BELLINGHAM - Morning listeners to KGMI have been hearing a different voice on the radio this week, as morning host Patti Brooks had her last day Friday, March 29.

    Brooks, who hosted "The Morning Talk Show with Patti Brooks" from 8 to 9 a.m. on 790 AM, submitted her resignation five weeks before her last day, said Michael O'Shea, vice president and general manager of Cascade Radio Group.
