But is the lowly stink bug all smell, or is there more to this critter than what meets the eye … or nose, in this case?

PRESS: Photo raises questions
A question FOR the editor. Re: Craig Northrup’s June 23 “Tuesday protest to call for Cd’A PD.” How in the world do we interpret the fact the photo of Kyle Fencher marching in all his glory is COURTESY of Kyle Fencher? The Press can’t afford its own photographer? It looks obviously cozy. Is the Press virtue signaling?
PROTEST: A glance back
I was pleased to see young folks demonstrating for, or against, whatever they believe in (Press, “Tuesday protest to call for Cd’A PD defunding, demilitarization” June 23). I would have done the same thing back in the late ’60s and early ’70s, but I was otherwise occupied by working and going to college.
HERO: And good judge material
I want to praise and thank the two men who saved the lives of the helicopter crash victims; Kinzo Mihara and Matthew Suhr. I know Kinzo as a fellow attorney and as a former U.S. Marine. Kinzo has applied for magistrate judge in Kootenai County along with other candidates. He is an excellent attorney and has litigated on request for the Tribe, as well as many residents here in Kootenai County. I consider Kinzo an excellent attorney and hope he gets that appointment. He will be a very fair magistrate.
LEFT: Pointing out hypocrisy
When liberals decided the Pledge of Allegiance in school was offensive to certain parties it was banned.

To Kinzo Mihara and Matthew Suhr. I know you two do not want accolades, but reading the story in the paper Thursday of you two rescuing the helicopter crash victims brought tears to my eyes.
POLICE: Remember where we live

When is Coeur d’Alene going to stop the lip service on the downtown noise and start enforcing our Noise Ordinance? If it is not enforceable, FIX IT!
ANTIFA: Breaking it down
I have read numerous articles and letters about busloads of Antifa coming to town. Anti means against, doesn’t it? And the “fa” means Facism, doesn’t it? Therefore, “Antifa” is supposedly against Facism, am I not again right? Facism is defined as “an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization.” One synonym is Nazism. So, if Antifa is really fighting against a form of Nazism, why are they the “bad guys?” Doesn’t that mean that all these gun-packing Republicans parading around town are “pro-fa”?
DALTON: Good move, city
I wish to offer my endorsement and thanks regarding the city of Dalton Gardens’ decision to close 4th Street to through traffic, in the section where Avista gas lines are being replaced. This decision provides much improved safety for those workers in the street, for residents, and for those who would otherwise be traveling on 4th. As a bonus I understand that this closure permits work to be completed much faster.
VETERAN: A moving experience
I was at the local Winco last week, wearing a U.S. Air Force hat. A young black man approached me. He was wearing dreadlocks and a look that is unusual to see in this area. Honestly, I am a little apprehensive. I have no reason to talk to him. He walks up to me and, in the middle of the racially fueled hatred and chaos our country is experiencing, he says, “Thank you for your service, sir!”

SHERIFF: Earning his way
I am a new resident of North Idaho, and thus new to North Idaho politics. I have a question: Why do four Republican candidates have to wage an expensive and grueling primary campaign to run for sheriff in the general election, while one Independent candidate automatically gets to run in the general election as the opponent? It seems to me that Bob Norris earned his spot on the ballot, while Mike Bauer arrived through the back door.

The dangers of cross-collateral agreements
Many banks and credit unions utilize a tool known as cross-collateral agreements or CCAs. Most borrowers aren’t even aware of these terms they’ve actually agreed to except in the rare case where they have read and understood their lending agreements in full. It is important to know if this term is in your agreement because a CCA allows the bank or credit union to use an asset that’s collateral for an initial loan as collateral for a second loan.

TIMES ARE TOUGH, YOU JUST HAVE TO SMILE
There’s a couple of surefire ways to divide family and fracture friendships, one being discussion of anything political and the other being the topic of face masks. If you don’t wear a face mask whenever you leave the house you’re shamed for being selfish and responsible for spreading coronavirus and potential death to everyone else. If you do wear a mask at all times when you leave your house you’re mocked as a sheeple, blindly following the somewhat contridictory advice of the CDC and WHO. Well, this column will not contribute to the debate.

Monica Theriault, 81
Monica Theriault of Coeur d’Alene passed away peacefully, Tuesday morning, June 9, 2020, with her family by her side due to complications of glioblastoma. Monica was born in Dublin, Ireland, on Feb. 8, 1939. She moved to Toronto, Canada, with her family as a teenager in 1957. It was in Toronto that she met and married her husband, Theo Theriault, in 1959. The couple moved to Southern California in 1960 and raised three sons in Oxnard. She moved to Coeur d’Alene in 2015.

ADVERTISING: Advertorial — HOLLY CARLING: WWeighing on our mind: Healthy weight
It seems that the majority of people in the United States, and perhaps the world, to more or less degrees, have the same thing weighing on their minds — their weight. I rarely find anyone happy with their weight. Most want to lose weight, while others need to gain it.
OUR TOWN: A place of tolerance
We are proud to be part of the Coeur d’Alene community, especially at this moment. When our nation was rocked by the appalling event in Minneapolis, every citizen was horrified and many decided to protest. Unfortunately, rioters, looters and thugs infiltrated peaceful demonstrations in every part of the country — every part, that is, EXCEPT North Idaho.

HREI: Keep your change
In my opinion, a former president of eight years campaigned to “fundamentally change America.” He and his cohorts worked tirelessly to do just that — divide and destroy the United States of America. They were working hard on their plan. However, after eight years, a large number of Americans realized where this group was trying to take America and they said “NO!”

LABELS: They don’t apply
I admire and support the young people who ventured out to protest for BLM in Sandpoint. As a mother of three sons, it breaks my heart to imagine one of them being treated like Floyd. Fortunately, they are all white. Two open carry and one was protecting local businesses. That puts me in an awkward position!

I can’t thank you enough for the Friday cartoon that showed a black man and cop agreeing that people shouldn’t stereotype or blame a group for the actions of a few. I suspect everyone who is or has been in law enforcement and black citizens too, feel the same way. What a great way to start the healing process.
ADVERTISING: ADVERTORIAL — DR. WAYNE M. FICHTER: Pain in the hands may be radiculopathy
“Cervical radiculopathy is the clinical description of when a nerve root in the cervical spine becomes inflamed or damaged, resulting in a change in neurological function.” Damage to the nerve root could be caused by traumatic injury, bulging disc, degenerative disc disease or stenosis. You may have symptoms that include neck pain, stiffness and decreased range of motion. “Neurological deficits, such as numbness, altered reflexes, or weakness, may radiate anywhere from the neck into the shoulder, arm, hand or fingers.”
MEDIA: Dial down the hate
We need to take a reality check. This Black Lives Matter affair has gone WAY too far. The political left of this country, which includes the national news media, is so consumed with hatred for the president they have lost any perspective they may have had, and are so completely devoid of objectivity I honestly believe they should have to register as a political party or at the very least a Political Action Committee. They are not journalists.
ANTIFA: Peaceful protesters?
I have to respectfully disagree on some points with Geri Hagler’s letter about the Antifa Organization. They are anything but an organization that are involved in “peaceful protests.” While they purport to be against fascism, they engage in protest tactics like digital activism, militancy involving property damage, physical violence and harassment. If you study the tactics of fascists during World War II, Antifa’s tactics come right out of their playbook.
Tom (Thorwald) Boie, 86
Tom passed on June 9, 2020. Born in Hamburg, Germany, Tom lived in Germany until he was 19, at which time he moved to Switzerland. After learning clockwork and the optical trade, Tom left Switzerland and moved to Pennsylvania in 1959. It was there that he met his wife, Shirley. Shortly after they married in 1961, Tom and Shirley moved to Los Angeles.
TRUMP: Check his priorities
With three years of White House tweets and blatant GOP voter suppression, we need to remember history. We need to go back only 79 years. What was the United States fighting to destroy in World War II (and also World War I)? For those who don’t know because of lack of education or are in support of fascists (Nazis), it was to destroy an ideology of the “pure (white) race” who felt they were given permission by their god to kill and suppress people because they weren’t white or didn’t agree with their evil.

BLAME: Face real issues
Coming from a family of police officers, it is difficult but necessary to address the issues plaguing our nation. The horrifying footage of George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis rightfully added fuel to a fire that’s been burning for decades. However, members of the media and countless leaders continue to discredit the legitimate issues we face by participating in victim-blaming.

PROTESTS: Tale of two cities
Seeing the front-page article about “Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America” caused me to consider what action they are demanding. The local leader said it was a coincidence of this campaign (orange ribbons on downtown trees) being immediately after the threats of violence Coeur d’Alene faced from protests. For those who thought the armed citizens downtown was an over-reaction, check “YouTube” about violence in downtown Spokane, since there was no news of it in the local paper. For those who felt protesters being bussed into our area were rumors, ask the Apple store in Spokane if it was rumors who vandalized and looted their store. Spokane is less than one hour away from us.

Bringing back the black robed regiment

Dan and his wife, Pam, have been in North Idaho the past week giving their presentation on pastors during the early 18th century in America and were nick-named “the black-robed regiment.” My wife, Jane, and I were fortunate to hear Dan’s presentation at church on Sunday and then meet up with he and Pam for a couple hours over coffee. Here is a summary of the questions we asked Dan about what he has learned from his studies of the revolutionary period.

Honor your flag and its history
Flag Day is celebrated in the United States on June 14 every year. At the seasonal Middlebrook (New Jersey) encampment of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, on June 14, our new flag was hoisted in 1777, which became the tradition of flag day. By resolution passed on that date in 1777, the Second Continental Congress commemorated the adoption of the flag of the United States. President Woodrow Wilson (1856-1924), our 28th president in case you missed it in history class, issued a proclamation in 1916 that officially established June 14 as Flag Day. Though not an official holiday, National Flag Day was established by Act of Congress in 1949.

ADVERTISING: Advertorial — GEORGE BALLING: Want to get better at wine? Taste with a group
We feel and always have that the most important thing to know about wine is what you like and what you don’t. Your own palate, after all, is the most important factor in selecting wine. Many wine consumers not only enjoy the notion of identifying wine aromatic and flavor components, but also desire to be able to express what they smell and taste. Even though most of us don’t use the flowery and at times over the top language of sommeliers, it is still nice to express your sense of what a wine, any wine, has to offer.
ADVERTISING: Advertorial — DR. WAYNE M. FICHTER: What is cupping and does it work?
Cupping is a traditional Chinese healing art dating at least as far back as 1550 BC. Some people suggest that cupping may only have a placebo effect, but this hasn’t deterred those suffering from chronic pain from seeking its healing ability. Let’s take a look at the art of cupping and its health benefits to see if cupping is right for you.
ADVERTISING: Advertorial — DR. WENDY CUNNINGHAM: Tips for sticking to your exercise routine
Does this sound familiar? Your health care provider recommends an exercise or rehab program for you. You start the program full of enthusiasm and discipline, only to drop out after a few weeks or months. If this happens to you, you are not alone. Statistics show that 50% of participants quit exercise programs within the first six months. Here are three scientifically proven approaches to making an exercise routine a healthy habit for life.
BIBLE: Read the four Gospels
Murder and civil disobedience are not new. Neither are selfishness, violence or the pursuit of power for power’s sake. These traits (and others similar) describe us. They know no national boundaries, no racial or gender preference, and aren’t impressed with financial status. Their remedy is not found in a “national conversation,” a voting booth, well-intentioned civil rights movements or among the loudest voices on cable news.
GUNS: Could cause mayhem
Dear Editor, with the protests to show that we are tired of fatal encounters on black men by police, and marches to show that Black Lives Matter, here in Idaho, there is one disturbing occurrence on Idaho streets; the hoard of armed citizens waiting for the disrupters to show up. In particular the anti-fascist or antifa groups.
GUNS: Violence not tolerated
After reading some of the opinion pieces in Friday’s Press condemning the presence of armed citizens protecting businesses in downtown Coeur d’Alene, I am reminded once again of how complacent we have become as a society when it comes to maintaining law and order. The “bad apples” like Officer Chauvin in Minneapolis notwithstanding, I believe most police officers are good people, and they make tremendous sacrifices to keep our communities safe every day.
GUNS: Thank you armed patriots
Thank you to all the armed patriots who kept our North Idaho streets safe from rioters. Those of us who have actually worked and lived through riots are grateful.
PROTEST: Take a different tack
No one can help being repulsed by the stupid behavior which set fire to this tragic problem.
PROTEST: No social distancing
Apparently, if you carry a sign that says Black Lives Matter and assemble with an unlimited number of other persons, you do not have to obey the governor’s orders limiting assembling in specified numbers or with any space between persons.
TRUMP: Memo to his base
The Atlantic Magazine recently wrote about the “malignant cruelty” of Donald Trump, labeling him “wicked” and “corrupted,” corrupting his own party and the country as a whole.
MILITIA: Taking care of our own
The recent appearance in downtown Coeur d’Alene of our “local militia” brought yeas and nays, for sure. But I think there is another message. And that is that local citizens will show up when needed, that they will cooperate with our local law enforcement, and if a group bent on destruction heads our way, they might ought to think twice because we take care of our own in North Idaho. Deterrence is also a tool for good. Not the same as but kind of like prayer, which is always good.
WHEN LIFE IS NOT ALL PUPPIES AND UNICORNS
When Idaho went under stay-at-home orders in March, like many others I found ways to amuse myself and communicate with friends, choosing to create a weekly video. Since those who were not going to work were spending their days and nights at home in pajamas or casual wear I would get glammed up on Friday mornings and record a short, upbeat Facebook video about staying positive during those uncertain six weeks. “Formal Friday” videos ended on Friday, May 1, the day the stay-at-home order was lifted.

Cd’A Police, thanks for keeping everybody safe
In the days when sailing ships ruled the seas during times of war, massive amounts of gunpowder were stored in a hold below the water line. These gunpowder magazines were dry because wet powder is the surest way to lose a battle, and being below the water line, the hold could be flooded in an emergency.
OPINION: BRYAN SMITH — The Idaho Freedom Foundation measures promises made
During the recent election cycle, some were critical of the Idaho Freedom Foundation Index (IFFI) which scores how legislators vote. Some voices proclaimed the IFFI is an extreme hard right ideology out of step with “common sense” Idaho conservative values. These and similar statements often are made by liberals masquerading as Republicans hoping that Republican voters will discount the IFFI. The 12 IFFI principles used to score how legislators vote are closely aligned with the Idaho Republican Party Platform (IRPP). Let’s look at the first four of these principles.
