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 …
GRADS: Honor top achievers
What a disappointment to read in the paper the announcement of graduates from Coeur d’Alene High School and not to see the names of those who were Valedictorian, Salutatorian, as well as Honor students highlighted.…
OBAMA: How did he spend D-Day?
June 6, 1944 is the date of the Allied invasion of Normandy which was the beginning of the end of World War II. It is estimated that casualities exceeded 10,000 in that battle alone.
LETTERS: Lose the self-righteousness
I saw the letters from Hans Neumann, Ed Torrence, Ray Anderson, Paul Ciruso and Leah Madison. Of Mr. Neumann in particular, I offer this particular scripture found in Luke: Luke 23 verses 27—29. (Crucifixion script…
COLLEGE: Great value in a degree
In the last year, 99 percent of the increase in the number of people employed in the U.S. was for individuals who had attended some college, according to the New America Foundation’s analysis of the May unemploymen…

NRA: Condemn, don't condone
I’m sorry Mr. Souther misread my letter about the NRA. I was NOT saying the NRA was promoting any violence against those who disagree with them.
RIGHTS: They go both ways
“No man is good enough to govern another man without that other’s consent.”
DRIVER: Tragedy narrowly averted
Every one of us at one time in our lives has done something stupid while we have been driving. Not paying attention and running a stop sign you didn’t know was there and thanking God that there was no one in the in…
EDDIE'S: Sure, we'll go away
Hooray Doug Shedler! You hit the nail on the head (My Turn column “Hospitality shut down along with Eddie’s”)! Arrow Point/Gozzer Ranch should look up the words “FRIENDLY” and “HOSPITALITY” in the dictionary.
COLLEGE: Who pays for what?
While reading the article “LCSC looks north” a question was raised at the dinner table. While it is wonderful that the colleges are becoming more available to residents of Idaho, who is funding the sites outside of…
FLAG: Floral tribute gorgeous
First it was the moose and tulips on the hospital grounds. Lots of people taking pictures. I put one on my Facebook so friends and family could see how beautiful our city can be.
ORDINANCE: Hey, enough already
The vote is in, the ordinance passed and we should be moving on, but as evidenced by the articles and letters to the editor in the CDA Press, which in themselves prove this clarification of the constitution was so …
