ISSUES: The ox will reveal all
Del Cameron’s letter regarding the “He’s on his knees tracking the president (sic), turning over every leaf, rock and clump of dirt that he may have touched” reminded me of the “hoards” of private investigators sea…
SCHOOLS: Time to pull together
I have been out of town and am just catching up on the “news.” In the paper of May 23, Mr. Tom Hamilton, Board of Trustees Chair for the Coeur d’Alene School District, when commenting on the election of new members…
BIBLE: What is an abomination?
Seems with all the hullabaloo around the Biblical “abomination,” it would be a fun and educational exercise to print the “Why Can’t I Own a Canadian?” response to Dr. Laura Schlessinger’s broadcast rationale for de…
Dirne might be right for you

MUSIC: Deserves more attention
Kudos to Mr. Jim Phillips and the Coeur d’Alene High School String & Chamber Orchestras, the Symphonic Band, and the Wind Ensemble for a delightful and well presented concert on May 22. As a former oboe player, I k…
SHERIFF: Looking out for children

Now you’ve done it! You know it was wrong but to please every voter you thought it was only politically correct so you joined the crowd. Now Coeur d’Alene can join the Washington group and be the home of the “Gays”…
NRA: Mark missed the mark
It seems Mr. Mark Komar’s tirade against the NRA (Sunday, June 2) is just another foolish attempt by the leftists to discredit the NRA (National Rifle Association). I am totally disgusted by his implication that th…
IRS: Wrong idea about tea party
I was gratified to learn that the Tea Party, Patriot and Constitution organizations are applying for nonprofit status through the IRS as “social-welfare” organizations. It’s nice to know that these groups don’t jus…
LAYOFFS: Tell it like it is
