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 …
SCHOOLS: Deserve our support
I am a longtime resident of Coeur d’Alene and my daughter is currently attending the third grade at Dalton Elementary. I would like to show my support for the proposed levy and bond that, without raising our taxes,…
SCHOOLS: Yes, and yes again
As a working mom of students in the district, I am investing in my kids’ education by getting involved.
LIFEGUARDS: A missed priority
I really missed the sanity of having lifeguards at Coeur d’Alene waterfront last year. Independence Point was overrun with punks trying to impress the girls and I even smelled marijuana. The beach is not an ashtray…
SCHOOLS: Itemize or perish
I recently attended a presentation on the proposed levy and bond for the Coeur d’Alene School District. I left that presentation with more concerns than comfort.
CARRIERS: One great family
THANK YOU Ron, Jill and Johann!

RED LIGHTS: Simple suggestions
This is in response to the red light runner problem here in our city and elsewhere. Start with the lights and get them synchronized. Do not let traffic get backed up; keep it moving, not backed up, burning good fue…
SCIENCE: Truth or politics?
It was gratifying that an Idaho House panel has approved new K-12 science standards that strike key references to climate change caused by human behavior.
TRUMP: Plays blame game
Trump is blaming any future terrorist attacks on our courts and the press. Perhaps he can blame future earthquakes on the Jews (as Romans did). Blame snow storms on lizard people’s cloud seeding. Potholes on Mormon…
TRUMP: Sounds like Otter
President Trump’s vigorous defense of Flynn and his criticism of the media for reporting illegal Flynn activities remind me of something that happened in Idaho a few years ago.
COLUMN: Well done, Paul
To columnist Paul Newberry: I read your great article on Jeffrey Loria printed in the Monday, Feb. 13, Coeur d’Alene Press.
SCHOOLS: Dad says no
I am a single father of two daughters at Borah Elementary. An acquaintance of mine told me she was going to speak to the school board meeting about the horrific parking conditions at Borah. I was unable to go to th…
