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 …
RENT: Don't like it, then don't go
I don't know if this will get posted online or not, and people are probably sick of hearing about it. But as an actor who frequents plays out at Lake City Playhouse, I must say that it is very disheartening to hear…
ACCIDENT: One good man helps
To the man in the tan jacket and short gray beard who helped us after our accident on Highway 95 and Ironwood on Dec. 8 in front of the hospital, thank you for your help and comforting words. There are still wonder…
TOLERANCE: It works both ways
I am always disappointed when I hear about someone who moves here because of the great lifestyle, then they immediately start trying to change it.
RV FEE: Online should be cheaper
Just paid my yearly bill for driving my motor home twice a year. To renew the license was $430.03 for a 2004 Allegro bus. What really made me upset was a fee for $12.03 to pay online for that service. Should it not…
THIEF: Here's what you stole
Merry X-Mas to the thief who stole my car Friday night (Dec. 9). I hope you enjoy the presents I had inside and that you get top dollar for the aluminum cans in the trunk I collect for my grandchildren.
RENT: Nothing wrong with variety
When I found out Lake City Playhouse was putting on a production of "RENT," I was pretty happy until I read the responses from the community. It ticks me off that people could say that "LGBT lifestyle isn't normal.…
CAR: PF officials not on luxury cruise
Mr. Lynn Aus was correct that the vehicle (a 1997 Lincoln, 110,000 miles) is licensed to the city of Post Falls. We would thank him for looking into the matter. A simple call to anyone here at City Hall or the poli…
RENT: Judge it after seeing it
"It was impossible to get a conversation going; everybody was talking too much." - Yogi Berra
VETS: Focus on best subjects
It seems to me that Veterans Day is designated as a time of remembrance, respect and support for our veterans, present military personnel, and those who gave their lives in that service. Unless I have missed them, …
WOLVES: View from a student
I was one of the students who saw the wolves. Those wolves were born in captivity and they had the wolves on a choke chain and leash. They made sure that those wolves knew humans and were used to human hands.
CARRIER: Thanks for job well done
We gave this note and a little something extra to our newspaper carrier this year. It reads:
WOLVES: Keep arguments germane
A recent column against wolf reintroduction compared wolf supporters to Hitler. More recently, Dean Haagenson called supporters of the caribou "bleeding heart liberals." These types of comments detract from the opi…
BLESSING: Press absence noted
Well the Coeur d'Alene Press pulled another feather from their hat (pun intended). After the well-written and informative article concerning the upcoming winter blessing, festival and fireworks extravaganza at the …
FRAUD: Were voters from Mars?
There were two letters published on Nov. 30 that had to be answered. First, Doug Strong said that there is "total lack of evidence of significant [voter] fraud." Well, perhaps he missed the debacle about the court …
COVERAGE: Grief in a new light
I'm a bereavement counselor with Hospice of North Idaho and just wanted to take a moment to express my thanks for your newspaper's coverage of our tree lighting event. I was pleasantly surprised to pick up my newsp…
