MOUNTAINS: Rock stars' history
The article “Hiking Chilco Peak” (Jason Wilmoth) brought back fond memories of seeing elk, moose, white-tail deer, mule deer, wolf tracks in the snow, gray jays gliding by, grouse, and more on that mountain.
TRUMP: Patriots can abhor him
My congratulations to Mr. Michael Quinn on his well-written letter concerning attitudes toward our president. Rarely have we seen a letter supporting this man without extreme vilification of those who are no suppor…
SMOKE: Don't forget the bluegrass
The editorial on “smoke” was very good. Thanks for the websites. I only thought the last paragraph was strange. When were “the days of old when North Idaho smoke was far less frequent and nefarious?” That must have…
CARRIERS: Pay and rewards
