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 …
COURAGE: These leaders have it
Big respect to the mayors and governors for taking steps to slow the spread of COVID-19, hence saving lives, even those not willing to accept the facts.
TOGETHER: Virus common enemy
I would like to thank George Miller for taking last Friday off and showing his softer side. It was a pleasure to read him not writing about communists at our door, lazy misguided socialists, evil Democrats and idio…
SAFE: And looking back
I am always thinking of ways to keep in touch with old friends and family from afar, so I am using this letter to the editor to more widely let it be known I am fine and am not affected yet by COVID-19. Because of …
CONSTITUTIONS: On governor’s side
Reminder to Rep. Scott, Pastor Tim and Sheriff Wheeler:
ESSENTIAL: The bottom line
Just an observation here. Perhaps I am biased, having grown up in a blue collar family, but I can’t help but notice who is “essential.” It appears the people who actually get dirt and grease under their fingernails…

BRINTON: Ode to a neighbor
This week you published Jim Brinton’s obituary. He and his family were our first neighbors when we moved to North Idaho in 1975. In our current unique viral bubble, the importance of being a good neighbor is magnif…
REMINGTON: Consider these rights
If Representative Remington is cited or arrested, it will not be because he is a pastor or a Christian. It will be because he has blatantly disregarded the safety of his parishioners and community.
DOUG O: He’s a giver
Every now and then, somebody runs for office and the only thing you can say is, “Now that makes sense.” Some people are takers, others are givers.
TRUMP: No, we’re not alone
Two weeks ago I wrote an unpublished letter to the editor that called on Americans and hospitals to join together to help with waves of doctors and nurses to hot spots like New York.
TRUMP: Critics will miss him
Who will the Trump-haters turn their venom on once Trump leaves office?
TP: Salvation on a roll
Many thanks to all the preppers who now have a 20-month supply of toilet paper and water in the backyard bunker. Too bad for the 80-year-old widow down the block who could have used a four-pack of tissue and a gall…
HANKS LAW: Foundation A-OK
On Jan. 8, a letter to the editor was posted regarding our foundation, Hanks Law Foundation. The letter stated basically that the foundation and its governing body, Jennifer Peacock and Dakota Goin, had engaged in …
