TICKET: Motherly advice
If I were the mother of the mom whose son was ticketed for having his license plate covered by snow, here is my advice to her.
ABORTION: Pro-life preference
It’s pretty tiresome answering the same silly, self-absorbed arguments in favor of killing babies. Only once in my life have I had an open, honest discussion about abortion with a woman who would not give an inch. …
Great Scott, we've got a soap opera
Republicans nearly accomplished this week what months of campaigning by Idaho Democrats could not.
COLUMN: Let us laugh
Yes, Tom Neuhoff, people who live in North Idaho have a warm heart and spunky spirit! Miss your columns and the laughs! I hope the Coeur d’Alene Press will let you do another one this year!
RESPONSE: Give Trump time
Ms. Sherman echoes the strong reaction of most Democrats and even many Republicans regarding the election of Trump. I can feel their pain. If Clinton had been elected I too would fear for our country.
RESPONSE: Trumpets for Trump
Apparently Carol Sherman belongs to the Hollywood California club that still hasn’t realized Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party lost the election to Donald Trump and the intelligent and educated majority of t…

MLK: Very much something
Sunday in Rann Haight’s “Tomorrow Is…” illustration, it was listed (for Jan. 16) as “nothing happened.” Martin Luther King Day is nothing? I seem to remember Idaho was slow in declaring it, but this seems a grave m…
What to do with state's $130 million spare cash
The Idaho Freedom Foundation’s Wayne Hoffman has an interesting way to eliminate the state’s $130 million surplus.
SCHOOLS: Seatbelts wrong priority
The Coeur d’Alene School District has elected to spend $100,000++ on seatbelts in buses. This focus on safety is surprising, as they don’t currently provide safe transportation.

I was dismayed to read about the closing of The Cellar on Sherman. Another empty building on our main street in town that was a tax generator and job creator is disappointing. Further disappointing, the reason they…
