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 …
TRUMP: Presidential rejection
I do not accept Donald Trump and will never call him president. Even though Comey and the Russians helped him get elected by our country’s 18th century rules (come on, people, Hillary won by more than 2.5 million p…
BERMS: Unbeatable foes
As winter comes I was thinking of previous letters about plowing and berms left at the end of our driveways. Mr. Koch should feel fortunate that he lives where he does. I also live in Coeur d’Alene, in the Fernan S…
ELECTION: Our next step
Dear Fellow Citizens:
PARK: Nightmare awaits
We are writing in regard to a proposal that we heard about last week. It is being proposed that a 500-acre motor event park be built on public land off Tweet and Good Hope in Athol. We live just a short distance fr…
STORIES: Tales of courage
I suppose the election coverage might have had people’s minds on other things or I missed seeing responses to the women who shared their breast cancer stories in The Press throughout November.

KINDNESS: Just plumb nice
With all the trash talking and politics I would like to share a story of the kindness from a certain man. A few months ago my son was going to be able to come home for a few days after being stationed in South Kore…
HILLARY: It's her fault
Is there any wonder as to why Hillary didn’t win the election?
SCHOOLS: Too many districts
We see local public schools are wanting to increase taxes again with more school levies. Idaho has 44 counties and 115 public school districts for 1.6 million state population; what a total rip-off to Idaho taxpaye…
DEMS: Some voted Republican
A one-time, hard and fast Democrat had this to say about the election:
TRUMP: Why we voted
I hope I speak for others of the silent, working majority who took time out of our busy days to go vote for Trump, perhaps after years of not voting. It had been 20 years for me and my husband.
ELECTION: All together, now
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to The REPUBLIC for which it stands, one nation, Under God, Indivisible With liberty and justice for all.
POEM: Help wanted
Yes they’re tattered and raggy with a month’s show of dirt
DAMS: Breaching bad idea
Thanks so much for the article by Chris Carlson about the dams. I can’t believe we are still talking about this.
