MILLIE: Pity her palpable reproach

The saga of Arfee, the black Lab mix killed by a Coeur d'Alene police officer, has been a source of agitation for nearly two months, partly because the public was left in the dark. A little sunlight would've gone a…
RIGHTS: A time to speak up
I think in my 57 years on this Earth this is my second letter to the editor, but there comes a time when you just have to speak up. In response to a letter from Joseph and Carla Lininger bashing the Coeur d’Alene P…
POLICE: Blessed are the body cams
The body cams that citizens have recently been demanding that police officers wear may very well turn out to be an officer’s best friend — and a suspect’s worst nightmare.

MILLIE: Yes! She answers critics
I would love to respond to all your letters but unfortunately it would take too much of my time.
MILLIE: And the beat goes on
Millie, you sure got quite a response to your letter about not liking living up here and how you miss California. You said in your letter that you were house bound because of the snow and you won’t drive in it. Lat…
