REGATTA: Behold, and be proud
I am writing this letter to express my sincere gratitude for the professionalism our local Kootenai County government agencies have portrayed to the entire team working to bring the Coeur d’Alene Diamond Cup Regatt…
OUCH: Good folks help ease the pain
If you ever have an accident, Coeur d’Alene is the place to be!
IDAHO: Old days look pretty good
I was quite surprised at your editorial of Feb. 24 “Hall of Shame Keeps Growing.”
CUTS: One way to do the job
A lousy 2 percent expense cut is being presented as the end of the world as we know it. My lord, trash cans at the national parks will not be emptied as often as now. How can we live with that tragedy?

HYDROS: A chance to strut our stuff
As a businessman, I’m looking forward to millions of $$$ being spent in Coeur d’Alene during hydroplane races.
BOARD: Goal is thwarting voters
The will of Idaho voters is at risk of being overturned by legislation proposed by the Idaho School Board Association (ISBA). At no time during my 35 years in Idaho have I seen such unbridled arrogance.
COLUMN: Couldn't be more off target
I’m writing this letter in response to an article sent to me from a friend. An article dated Feb. 20, by Jimmy Pappas.
STOLEN: A part of her heritage
This is not a political letter nor a change the law letter and it may not even be printed. Recently an item from a storage unit was stolen. “Lady Godiva” was my deceased great grandma’s sculpture. She has been hand…
