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 …
USS IDAHO: Namesake’s story
For Commander Costigan and your letter of Oct. 20 — thank you for your service and for your interest in the USS IDAHO.
MAY: Integrity, leadership
A school board member needs to be a hard worker; an honest person; a good thinker; a good listener, a visionary and someone with wide knowledge of our school district!
HAMMOND: Measures up for Cd’A
As an Idaho native and a local resident of 50 years, and a person who has worked locally in the public and private sectors, I’ve had the rare opportunity to work with Jim Hammond and to call him friend.

GINORIO: Family values, my foot
Mr. Ralph Ginorio, Pray tell us all exactly what is your definition of a “Traditional American?”
LAKELAND: Recall a necessity
The current Lakeland Joint School Board concerns me.
DRIVING: Put courtesy at the wheel
Move over. I understand that we’ve had a major influx of “newcomers” here in North Idaho.
GINORIO: On ‘traditional’ tirade
Two articles, side by side. One, by an esteemed group of former School Trustees, and one by a self-appointed judge of veteran Coeur d’Alene residents as being desperately in need of the influence of “outsiders.”
SHOTS: Tough for seniors
I went to Walgreens-Apple Way to get a high dose senior flu vaccine at 8:30 a.m.
