Congratulations to our Little League NW Regional Champs. It was special playing a team from Montana, a state I’ve lived in for several years. The competition was neighborly, but intense.
ITD: A license for frustration
Sheriff Ben Wolfinger said it well in Wednesday’s Press. We have gone to Shoshone County for driver’s licenses and titles several times over the last few decades: 10 minutes to get the work done after a 45-minute d…
ADLER: Constitutional question
Dr. David Adler’s article of Aug. 10 uses the freedom of the press as a premise to criticize President Trump’s excoriation of the media. Most of the media has colluded and aligned with the democratic/socialist view…
NEWSIES: Stop the presses!

TRUMP: Full of gas
I guess Jim Risch forgot what 2008 was like. President Obama brought us out of the worst recession since the Great Depression. If Obama or any “real” American president did what Trump did in his first 18 months, th…
PHOTO: Captured the moment
I want to express my appreciation for the excellent photograph that accompanied your story on Coeur d’Alene’s Little League baseball team (front page of Section B, Sunday). The photographer, Patrick Record, capture…
REBUTTAL: Whine no more
Mr. Dayton, you sound like those crybaby movie people that say you’re leaving this country if the Dems don’t win. What a load of crap. You won’t go anywhere, because you know this is the best country on the planet!…
REBUTTAL: Keep your promise
