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 …
CENTER: Assist the seniors
The Lake City Center in Coeur d’Alene is a senior center, and more. Monday through Friday, seniors can share a meal for a nominal donation, and are offered activities and classes too numerous to list here. The Cent…
AMERICA: Our sexual recession
I read with great interest Steve Cameron’s column regarding intimacy in Friday’s Coeur d’Alene Press. Limited by space and time, his careful discussion only scratched the surface of this important issue.
HYPOCRITES: If shoe fits
For Old Faithful, D. Gressler. There are far more veterans and current military personnel who support our president and serve our country. I think that you owe all of us an apology. We are far from being hypocrites…
ALBRIGHT: Name coincidence
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Syd Albright’s interesting and informative article of Dec. 2, about Horace Albright and the National Park Service.
BUSH: A real president
Over the past several decades we’ve had… let’s say interesting people that we are guilty of electing as our presidential leaders.
CIVILITY: Let's try it
I read a letter to the editor by Dan Gressler recently about “all that Obama did not do.” I must say I completely agree with the points made by Dan.
ENTITLED: No, we're not
It appears to me that we’ve become a nation of folks who, in many cases, expect the government to take care of our every need from the cradle to the grave without much energy from us except holding out our hands (p…
AVISTA: Some good news
I was happy to hear Avista and Canada’s Hydro One was stopped. I might not be the sharpest bulb in the room, but does it make sense to give another country any control over one of our power grids?
WORKERS: Same ol' rhythm
It was interesting to learn that Circadian Rhythm and a CRYT gene somehow dictate how we perform at work. Thanks to Sholeh’s recent column, the folks in New York City have now enlightened us.
TRUMP: Familiar bashers
When I read the Readers Write column in the paper and they’re bashing Trump, I have to look and see who wrote it. And of course in most cases it’s the Gresslers from Rathdrum doing the bashing.
DID NOT: Game goes on
Mr. Gressler ran out of words to be accepted by The Press in the Nov. 30 issue, so I would like to help him out. I will address other issues I’m sure Mr. Gressler would like to have added which President Obama did …
IMMIGRATION: Common sense ideas
One of the things dividing our country is the issue of illegal immigration. Way back in 2005 senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Ted Kennedy (D-MA) worked together and came up with the following.
LEVY: Timing is everything
Levy elections ought to be held on Dec. 7, right after you receive your tax bill. Then we would be less apt to approve them.
EAGLES: A veteran's salute
As a veteran, I got the rare opportunity to go on an eagle watching tour on a Resort boat sponsored by the BLM. I just wanted to thank them for offering this cruise once a year free to some of the veterans in our a…
DALTON: Recall off base
We are longtime residents of Dalton Gardens and regular attendees of the City Council meetings. We support the Dalton City Council’s decision involving the Streeter Property and oppose any recall of the City Counci…
