TRUMP: Morbid sense of humor?
If Donald Trump was just kidding about buying Greenland, taking back the Panama Canal, renaming the Gulf of Mexico, making Canada another state, then he has a morbid sense of humor.
FIREWORKS: Respect and Compassion for others — Bottom Line!
In regard to both Mr. Bell’s and Mr. Sanner’s letters re: Fireworks, I am one of those individuals affected by PTSD. I abhor the noise and craziness the ‘sub humans’ partake in throughout the year in Kootenai Count…
FIREWORKS: Legal ones are not the problem
In response to reading of councilor Wood’s solution to the out-of-control fireworks problem, I can only say...you have got to be kidding me. Setting up zones for people to use “safe and sane” (legal) fireworks has …
FIREWORKS: Worse than before
Concerning Chris Willoughby Sr.’s letter published Jan. 15. I grew up in the Spokane Valley and we had SOME fireworks going off in the ’60s and ’70s but nothing like you see today.
TURKEYS: Population has skyrocketed
Christy Wood was totally correct in bringing up before the city council the issue of wild turkeys in the Fairway Forest area. I have lived in that area for 45 years, the first 40 turkey free.
SAME SEX MARRIAGE: Repeal would upend people’s lives

FIREWORKS: Ban them or leave it alone
I have lived in Coeur d’Alene my entire 65 years, living downtown until third grade and Dalton, Seventh Street junior high, mid high 15th Street, Coeur d’Alene High School…

Michelle Thompson, Ramona Grissom, and David Quimby just committed Lakeland School District to another year of chaos, indecision, and financial distress by re-electing Thompson as board chair. Thompson’s statement …
PRESS CARRIER: Thank you, Sandy Crump
I want to give a big shout out to my Coeur d’Alene Press Carrier. I have never seen her, nor do I know what kind of car she drives.
FIREWORKS: Brazenly breaking the law
Christie Wood’s proposed solution to our illegal fireworks dilemma completely misses the mark. She suggests the city designate areas where legal, ‘safe and sane’ fireworks could be used by families. While that’s a …
COEUR d’ALENE: Little San Diego
Welcome to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Visit on Vacation and leave on probation. Many call it, “little San Diego;” with Texxxass style government.
ROSDAHL: He is missed
Bring him back. Nils Rosdahl was the pulse of the business community, and his Sunday column, Business Bits, was a treasure chest of information that was so helpful for all of his readers.
FIREWORKS: Show common courtesy
Our congratulations to JoANN LOKKEN on the great My Turn piece in the CDA PRESS Jan. 14.
RHETORIC FROM THE LEFT: Just hyperbole?
Since Kamala just certified the election, installing Trump as president, doesn’t that make her and the left complicit for not protecting us from enemies foreign or domestic?
FIREWORKS: Why aren’t laws enforced?
I want to give a shout out to everyone who has written letters regarding the lack of enforcement for illegal fireworks. I have also written several letters about the war zone on July 4.
