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 …
BEARS: Headless in Sleepy Hollow
The Sept. 7 letter by Diane Maass (Bear: Killing just isn't right) certainly hit a responsive note for me. Ms. Maass of Sleepy Hollow, N.Y., wrote at length about the bear shooting episode in Boundary County.
LOUD: Please, turn it down
On Friday Aug. 26, a "Rock Hard at the Park" was held at the Greyhound Park and Event Center in Post Falls. It started at 3:10 p.m. and continued until 10 p.m. However, starting Thursday night until 10 p.m., then a…
McEUEN: New isn't better at all
To the woman who bashed on Rita and Julie in the Friday paper concerning McEuen Park: How dare you say that they don't care about the public. I feel they care more than you do whoever you are lady. They want to kee…
KHS: Advocates way off base
I read with interest and quite a laugh at the "My Turn" by Shellie Miller and Maureen Wright, "KHS: An advocate for the animals." There are so many inflated points I could not begin to point them all out to you two.

Barack is determined to roll the dice thrice to create jobs in the USA. Now if you've thrown the little gambling cubes twice and produced nada, why would you ask someone who works hard to help you fund your next tu…
9/11: Fuel for new patriotism
I remember exactly what I was doing when the planes hit the towers, just as many of us probably do. It was the first time for me I actually felt "injured" as an American. I was 23 years old. Since then I have had m…
COUNTY: Raises defy all reason
It amazes me to watch what happens when good conservative people become government leaders. I'll bet not one of the commissioners would lay off a worker in their business and decide to take the money saved and just…
FARRAGUT: Here's to Martin Apelman
I wanted to reply to the woman who wrote the item on "Farragut ode to its reunion," by Terri Doughty. I thought she might like to know that Martin Apelman was stationed at Farragut in the 1940s. Perhaps her husband…
WOLVES: They were here first
Wolves are in the scope of hunters just two years after being removed from the Endangered Species List. The delisting of wolves has been premature on the part of the federal government and now their lives are in th…
KROC: Lawsuit brings out worst
I think the lawsuit filed against the Kroc Center is a Kroc (Sept. 2). If an accident occurred, seems to me that both parties were "not paying attention to their surroundings or those around them" and therefore bot…
JOBS: Take the lead anytime now
Dear Mr. Labrador:
GRIZZLY: Mind your own business
Re: "Bear: Killing just isn't right" from Diane Maass, Sleepy Hollow, N.Y., Sept. 7:
Partisan politics plays role in real world
Guest Opinion
Cd'A: No more of the same
Please DO NOT elect George Sayler to the Coeur d'Alene City Council. I personally have nothing against Mr. Sayler. What I am against is that "his platform supports many of the major decisions the current council ha…
BENCH: Who destroyed it?
The 1947 Coeur d'Alene High School Class donated a beautiful stone park bench to the city for Phippeny Park around 1999. A few years later the back for the bench was removed and broken in two. At the time the destr…
