TRAFFIC: Left turn off highway is dangerous
This letter is in response to a letter I received after my presentation regarding left-hand turns into the shopping center near Kohl’s off of Prairie Avenue. As they stated in their letter, the turn into a private …
CIVIL WAR: Rhetoric is dangerous
Memorial Day; a time to honor and remember our fallen veterans. They were our fathers, sons, husbands, brothers and in many cases, mothers, daughters sisters and wives. Families were broken, hundreds of thousands w…
LIBRARY: CleanBooks4Kids is grassroots
I must correct assertions from Theresa Birkett’s May 29 My Turn. Perhaps Ms. Birkett needs a dictionary because “dictates” are from dictators. CleanBooks4Kids is a grassroots group of concerned Kootenai County citi…
DEJA VU: Another Strong Man rising to power
It seems like we’ve been here before… During the 1930s, there was a Strong Man who came to Power in Germany. He promised to “Make Germany Great Again.” (He would restore Prosperity, rebuild the Military, and gather…
TERM LIMITS: Would help our country
I have a suggestion for improving our United States government that should be popular with most Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians and independent voters.
PRIDE: You ARE loved!

PRIDE: No rights were infringed upon
One of the main reasons that I subscribe to the Coeur d’Alene Press is that it has the liveliest letters section of any of the five newspapers I subscribe to. Wednesday, June 5 did not disappoint. In particular, Th…
PRIDE: Flag was disrespected
I was surprised and flabbergasted during PRIDE in the Park when I witnessed the religious zealots standing by the Flood Wall who conspicuously started yelling at the participants of PRIDE while those participants s…
PRIDE: Those who don’t celebrate should just ignore it
I, being apart of the Coeur d’Alene community, born and raised here, proudly celebrated pride. Those that didn’t celebrate or chose not to support those that do, can quietly stay silent just as those who don’t cele…
PRIDE: Judge yourself first
All the hate letters I read don’t represent me. Seems the Candlelight people got a lot of hate. Is that what the topic on Sundays are or everyday? Lot of things I disagree with and seems some religious, or so-calle…
PHARMACIES: PBMs are killing independent owners
As a local pharmacist, it was refreshing for me to see an article in The Press about the challenges facing pharmacies today. Low insurance reimbursement does not affect only rural pharmacies, however, but is leadin…
PRIDE: God created the joyous complexity of life
I was happy I could have a booth at the Pride in the Park event last Saturday. It was a fun and festive event. I am disappointed, but not surprised, at the number of negative letters to the editor this event engend…
PRIDE: Thanks for the article
Thank you for the kind and accurate article about the pride in the park event! It was a loving and fair article!
PRIDE: We choose love
We were extremely distressed to read the many Letters to the Editor protesting Coeur d’Alene’s recent Pride celebration. Many of the writers stated that this event did not represent Coeur d’Alene. We disagree!
PRIDE: $5K raised in less than 24 hours
Dear Pastor Van Noy, I wanted to personally reach out and extend my sincerest gratitude, and congratulate you for earning yourself the prestigious title of Premier Sponsor for the 2024 CDA4Pride season!
