(Updated 8:07 p.m.) - Spokane City Council voted unanimously to share the same voice as dozens of other Washington state lawmakers urging the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration to reschedule medical marijuana as a Schedule II drug so it can be prescribed by doctors and filled by pharmacists.

City council members Jon Snyder and Mike Fagan are co-sponsoring the resolution. Fagan says they’re piggy-backing on Governor Chris Gregoire’s recent petition to the federal government, asking to reclassify marijuana so Washington can safely distribute the drug without the risk of federal prosecution.

“We’re basically sending the same message,” Fagan said in support of the Governor’s letter. “Federal government, you have to get off your butt. We have patients who are in limbo... They’re subjecting themselves to arrest and prosecution.”

Fagan says his position is carried over from his successful campaign from last year, but also personal experience from the death of his step-mother.

“When you have a parent or someone special who is about ready to leave this world, you don’t have the opportunity to reconcile with them,” Fagan said.

Doyle Wheeler approaches life just like he does pens; everything is possible. Throw anything his way and he will make it work for him.

The first lathe Wheeler ever received was from his father. He tinkered with it off and on, not really committing to the craft but enjoying the rhythm of turning a pen. The first ones he ever made became Christmas gifts for family and friends but he insists they weren't any good.

It's what every budding artist – excuse me, craftsman – would say of their early work.

Craftsmanship is in Wheeler's blood. His grandparents built their home in Spokane from the ground up.

Some things money just can't buy. That definitley holds true when it comes to handmade greeting cards from kids. Who doesn't love seeing those creative minds and carrying thought displayed through adorable pieces of art?

And now, South HIll Pediatric Dentistry is sharing the love with servicemen and women overseas. It's teaming up with the Red Cross from its "Holiday Mail for Heroes" program. Children make special greeting cards for the troops and they're sent to men and women serving overseas.

South Hill Pediatric Dentistry is encouraging kids to create one of those cards while they wait for their appointments. You can also have your kids make those cards at home and drop them off at the office.
