I am new to the area (barely a month) and don’t know much about the
VANDALS: Ex-player decries move down
1) I played at Idaho during the “Good Ol Big Sky days” and we never saw Idaho State or EWU as a rival. I remember games where we maybe had 5,000 people in the stands against both teams. Road trips up to EWU were ev…
GM: Investing heavily in China
President Obama spent 80 billion taxpayer dollars (money taken from you and me) to save General Motors and Chrysler, and, according to the president, to protect American jobs. How did GM use our money? In their pro…
LETTER: Writer should look in mirror
In Harley Duff’s letter he asked if anyone in America believes that a man can’t remember back 40 to 50 years ago what happened in his teenage years. Fortunately, Harley can give exact information that we should tak…
BANKING: Clinton deregulated, not Bush
I would like to correct Lynn Hyer’s assertion that banking deregulation occurred under President Bush. Sweeping banking deregulation occurred under President Clinton. A quick Web search confirms this.
CATS: The truth scratches back
About a year ago you ran an article about this story about a kindly lady who was feeding feral cats. How she used her own money and everything. How sweet huh. Well talk to the people who live here and see how they …
VANDALS: 'Hit piece' not appreciated
I recently read your editorial about how the Idaho Vandals should “drop down” if necessary in the ranks of college football.

Kudos to the city of Hayden for another outstanding Memorial Day ceremony. All guest speakers were very good, and in particular, I appreciated the “straight forward” comments of Dick Panabaker, city official and fo…
VALUES: Hang on for a rough ride
I read with great amusement your article Wednesday regarding property values and how everyone hopes prices have stabilized.
FAREWELL: The final salute
Tossing and turning in our cots, 4 a.m. and not a wink of sleep around the base as thoughts repeating the week’s attacks raced through our heads. Giving up on sleep, one by one we sat up and prepared for the day.
MEMORIAL: Deserved newspaper coverage
As I read The Press Tuesday, I was inspired by the many Memorial Day ceremonies conducted in our area. It struck me, however, that there was no coverage of Hayden’s ceremonies which included a flyover by two A-10 “…
CANDIDATE: A big thanks to all
I would just like to express my deepest thanks to all of the voters, constituents, citizens, businesses and organizations who supported me in my campaign for the Idaho House of Representatives, Seat B for the 2nd L…
OBAMA: Economy woes predate him
A lot of people are somehow blaming President Obama for our sluggish economy and lack of new jobs. They just refuse to look backward BEFORE he was president, in 2006 and 2007 when the real estate market was startin…
PAVING: Not OK here, either
It has become clear to me that Coeur d’Alene Paving and the Kootenai County Commissioners, Green, Tondee and Nelson, are putting business/money and PROFIT before the health of the citizens of Idaho and Washington. …
