A four-ton replica of a Russet potato — mounted on a truck, touring the country — is making a stop at the Irish Festival this summer. July 31 through August 2.

The Big Idaho Potato Truck has been rolling across America for 13 years now, raising money for small local charities along the way. It started as a one-year stunt to celebrate the Idaho Potato Commission's 75th anniversary. People loved it too much to let it stop.

If the potato were real, it would take 7,000 years to grow and yield a million french fries. It won't be real. But it will be in our backyard in about seven weeks, and that's enough.

A couple of weeks back we told you about the federal lawsuit against a Dublin-based immigration firm. If you missed it, both WOSU and 10TV have been covering it — the short version is that former clients are accusing the firm of filing immigration applications with abuse and trafficking claims they say clients didn't fully understand or consent to. The firm said the allegations were completely false.

This week the founder filed her own federal countersuit. Her position is direct: the attorneys who came after her aren't trying to help anyone — they're running a smear campaign to pull her clients into their own lawsuit for financial gain. "This lawsuit is the result of a monthslong smear campaign against my firm by a group of people who stand to benefit financially," she told 10TV.

Nobody's been found guilty of anything, and the original suit hasn't been certified as a class action yet. We'll keep following it.

Our school superintendent Dr. John Marschhausen sat down with ABC 6 this week and said what a lot of people needed to hear: mistakes were made, the process was mishandled, and the district needs to rebuild trust. He owned it, and that's not nothing.

It appears like most of us want to move forward. But readers who've written to us have been honest about why they think it's hard to simply take the district at its word right now. A process that was promised to be transparent hasn't always felt that way. And when trust has been worn down over months, "we've got this from here" is a hard thing to just accept.

What readers keep coming back to is straightforward. Safety — whether a child can get to school without being on a dangerous road every morning. And practicality — the longest proposed route isn't just an inconvenience. It affects how kids get to and from practices, how families plan their days, how a teenager with an after-school job gets home. These are real life things that don't always show up neatly in a redistricting criteria document.

When it’s all over it will probably take some time for the wounds to heal — and it's good to hear that the district's leadership acknowledges that. The good news is also that Dublin is a tight-knit community. These are our schools, our neighbors, and our kids. Whatever map lands on June 29, they're still getting an outstanding education.

June 29 is seventeen days away. We'll be covering it closely, and we'll keep sharing what you're telling us — because that's what this is really about. Hit reply if you want to weigh in.
