HILLARY: In a word, no
Over the last few months, I have been reading the papers and listening to the radio and television, and have come to the conclusion that there are a whole lot of mixed up folks out here. This is what I have come up…
DEFENDER: Stance is offensive
A Cd’A Police officer was assassinated last year. I am angry, shocked and quite curious as to why the Public Defender’s office wants to spare him the death penalty. The prisons are full of people with lesser crimes…

NONPROFITS: Better oversight needed
I want to express my negative feelings toward the current rules for “Nonprofit Corporations.” There is no rule or regulation by the IRS for percentage of distribution. Some nonprofits distribute mere pennies on the…

KOHLES: The smart choice
I have always known I have a smart grandson, but recently I learned he is wise beyond his years. His statement, “Everyone just needs to lighten up,” really got me thinking.

In last week’s Idaho Statesman, Rocky Barker writes of a huge land purchase of 172,000 acres by a private company listed as D.F. Development, LLC of Cisco, Texas. Rocky Barker researched the company and found Rober…
SIMS: End Press persecution
It amazes me that the Coeur d’Alene Press feels an obligation to repeatedly report on a traffic ticket concerning State Rep. Kathy Sims. She has been an extremely generous member of our community as well as a succe…
KAHN: Been there, done that
Do you remember the excitement of your first day of school? Did you have a favorite teacher or make a best friend who is still there for you? What about recognition for perfect attendance or being given an exciting…
SORRY: Apology offered
A note of apology to my window-washing neighbor. I am so sorry for my callous behavior when you came by. I am not normally like that and I hope you can forgive me. I feel absolutely rotten about the way I responded…
