AIRPORT: Awaiting actual answers
Thank you to Larry Spencer for his informative “My Turn” piece entitled “Does Hayden want to close the airport.” If you didn’t notice it, that is probably because it was buried in the bowels of the paper with “Lega…
SHADOWS: Cast pall over N. Idaho
Sunday’s headline article, “Stepping out of the Shadows,” should leave all of us holding our noses at the stench of political correctness. The narrative describes a recently aired PBS show, “Our Private Idaho,” whi…
