WHOA: Stop the panic
We can’t control the current “disruption in all of our lives” but we can communicate with each other about other subjects through our local newspaper and its website. Dwelling only on the coronavirus when it is s...
TRUMP: Still waiting, bashers
I read Mr. Gressler’s letter in last Sunday’s paper. It’s mainly the same as the last letter and the letter before that.
LEADERS: Commendable courage
I would like to thank the leaders of our cities in Kootenai County who had the wisdom but most of all the courage to order the closing of restaurants and bars. It’s unfortunate that our governor chose not to do t...
ADVICE: No butts about it
I’m what the millennials call one of the older generations; I’m a baby boomer at 73 and I’m honestly curious why so many people are frantically buying toilet paper? I’m not being facetious; I really don’t underst...
CRISIS: Doing your part
Our President and our Governors are sharing one simple message: Slow the spread of this disease.
TRUMP: Who do you believe?
I’m a believer in carefully processing info regardless of its source. When I need health info I have my own microbiologist (my wife) but we often have a discussion after she provides the info. She also happens to...
Readers Speak Out: Listen to experts
Dear Mr. President,
Readers Speak Out: Shopko to the rescue
Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. As I look to the other states for their innovative thinking, such as Seattle and the use of a soccer field for a make-shift hospital, have our city leaders (an...

LEGISLATURE: Go virtual
There were a lot of grumblings at the end of the 2020 Legislative Session in Idaho. A case of COVID-19 hit on Friday, March 13 and, with only one week left, many were ready to throw in the towel and call it a day...
LIBRARY: Simply outstanding
I just wanted to give a shout out to our local library staff. Until last Friday they were doing curbside deliveries of books on hold and taking new requests. What a breath of fresh air in the current environment.
Readers Speak Out: A squirt works
In response to the shortage of toilet paper being experienced across the country, I have devised a solution: using a bidet. Hop down to your local home improvement store and install yourself or have your local pl...
READERS SPEAK OUT: Stores are guilty, too
As I read the paper about Costco opening early for seniors my blood boiled.
SENIORS: Honor shopping hours
Albertsons and Safeway advertised Tuesday and Thursday hours 7 to 9 a.m. were for seniors to shop. I went to both early one morning. Albertsons had many younger shoppers so at checkout I asked about the hours for...
DISTANCING: Do it for others
My husband and I returned from Spain just over a month ago. Everything there was totally normal, lots of tourists, full restaurants, bars, and parks. Only a month later, Spain is in total lockdown. More people ar...
