OPINION: Just like everyone else, Idaho’s Attorney General must comply with the law
Three years ago, I joined five other former Idaho Attorneys General in describing that important position as “the …
FLAG: Pause was appreciated
Every day, weather permitting, we fly the American flag. Last Tuesday as I was raising the flag, a Coeur d’Alene city truck, which was going down our street, stopped until the flag was completely raised.
HUNT: Critics running on empty
Jason Ball dropped the “ball” on his My Turn column!
Candidate endorsement letters
THORESON: She will be on the job
OBAMACARE: A dire prediction
The letter from Rena Peterson is not quite on the mark regarding The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. It can’t be called Obamacare, because he doesn’t seem to know what’s in it.
ENDORSE: Not public safety's job

HORSES: Letter said it all
In Wednesday’s Press was a letter to editor from a Robin Near of Coeur d’Alene. I feel this letter, about horses, should be required reading for all new persons entering into a 4-H, FFA or any saddle club organizat…
HAIL: Here's the kind of man he is
I do not live in Post Falls and cannot vote in the Post Falls City Council elections. Still, I wanted the voters there to know what I know about one of the candidates for City Council seat No. 2.
ELECTION: Two distinct choices
A group of individuals in this city have helped to create an atmosphere of anger, distrust, and negativity. They have spread false information, repeating it even after being shown they are wrong. They have made unf…
EVANS: Make her dream of Cd'A true
Amy Evans is a candidate for Seat No. 2 on the Coeur d’Alene City Council.
WIDMYER: Unlike Souza, a uniter
I am impressed with the many stories written about how
