RATING: Look at the bottom line
I am grateful to S. Schad for describing the KCRCC “rating and vetting” process. It seems very thorough, and I commend KCRCC for going to the effort. It is a fine thing that KCRCC works hard to identify conservativ…

Bless the letter carriers who are having their annual food drive this weekend. I hope people will hang a bag of food by their mailbox to be given to our local food banks.
HOUSING: Can’t pin blame on Joe
One letter writer blamed the housing inflation on Joe Biden. It’s ridiculous to blame one man for especially our local housing costs. It’s not just that folks are moving here in droves. It’s that very rich folks ar…

KCRCC: Rating proof is in the pudding
Ms. Schad did a sincere job explaining the rating and vetting process followed by the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee to decide the candidates who will receive the group’s endorsements and blessings.
REGAN: A testament to need for change
The Press has gifted Brent Regan with a weekly column. Rather than using this privilege to benefit our community with trustworthy and valuable information, he uses it for benefiting himself, trying to bully us into…
KROC: Wouldn’t be here without these leaders
On May 11, 2009, The Kroc Center in Coeur d’Alene opened its doors to the community. However, its beginnings date back to 2004 when Sue Thilo and former Mayor Sandi Bloem joined the Idaho Kroc Initiative Task Force…
NEWS: Garbage in, garbage out
As a lifelong resident of Coeur d’Alene, I think I speak for many when I say, I wish I could flip back the calendar a decade or two. A time when people held doors for each other, visited in line at the DMV and made…
FLOTATION: Devices can save lives
I have been fishing for 67 years. I have been fly fishing for over 55 years. In those 55 years, I have learned from personal experience that wearing a Person Flotation Device is required when I go fishing…or any ot…
