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 …
WOMEN: Show your strength
In response to Paul J. Underwood’s letter about health care, I’m a 38-year-old woman who is a stand tall Republican. In your letter you rant about Republicans and how we all are spoiled little rich people who throw…
Trump defenders have their say
TRUMP: Better than Hillary
After reading the three articles written by Uyless Black, I commend him on his research abilities on Donald Trump. However, to put things into perspective, I challenge him to follow up on a research article on Hill…
STRANDED: Deputies declined aid
I read the article Tuesday and wanted to say what I knew of the situation. I received a call from Tyler Hinton around 8 p.m. because his boat was floating and dead in the water near Higgins Point. He told me that h…
SECURITY: Fact-check time

If Jim Hollingsworth needs to convince Idaho’s Republican choir to vote for the Democratic mole Republican nominee, then say hello to an HRC landslide. Donald Trump is trailing in every poll in every battleground s…
LIBRARY: Beware 'the policy'
I am writing to inform any resident who uses the Hayden library. If you do not know about “the policy” you might just get stuck with fines for materials you have checked out.
FAIR: Clerk on right track
Kootenai County employees who draw their pay prior to having earned it. Certainly, Commissioners and other elected officials do not “draw” in advance, do they?
FIRES: And fire fighters
On Sunday afternoon I witnessed something incredible. Not the heroics at the Ironman competition, and I’ll never diss that. No, it was wildfires west of the state line with Washington.
TRUMP: My kind of narcissist
I found Mr. Black’s article in Tuesday’s Press “Donald Trump: A study in narcissism” most interesting. First of all, I think the writer needs to tell us which party he supports because the article sure sounds like …
STRANDED: God, not gosh
Enjoyed the “Stranded” piece on Aug. 20. We thank God and those who recently rescued the stranded family from the stalled boat on the lake.
