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 …
JAIL: Here's the tale behind bail
Al Underwood, in his June 14 letter to The Press, expresses his frustration at “law enforcement people” allowing suspects to be released on bond. He bases his complaint about criminal suspects in a pending case bei…
OBAMA: Check out 'dhimmitude'
Obama stated he is a Christian? He had to claim to be a Christian in order to be elected as the president of the United States. Then why would Obama put in the health care bill this word: Dhimmitude. It is placed i…
DOLEZAL: Parents second to none
I’ve just read the Rachel Dolezal story. She’s a good fictional storyteller. She might have written a book!?
WOLF: Guilty - so live with it
I can’t believe Mize and his attorney, Palmer, are upset about the illegal shooting of a wolf. You are guilty — you shot it — you did not have a tag to do so — what’s to be upset about?
THANKS: A big one is overdue
What a refreshing, wonderful article about Michael Williams and Zachary Endreson. It shows that there are really good kids out there still. This is something that may have changed the compass of their lives. Just o…

WOLF: The system is guilty
Forrest Mize (wolf shooter) was right, the judicial system is horrible, just ask any former police officer.
MOUNTAIN: Let the voters decide
The article dated June 8 regarding Rathdrum Mountain states, “For years the city heard little vocal opposition to the development of the city property on Rathdrum Mountain.” That is not true! I attended two meeting…
HEY!: Someone stole my ass
We have lived in this beautiful town for more than 55 years. More than 35 or so years we have had a donkey cart in our front yard that my 80-year-old wife plants with flowers in the cart. You probably have noticed …
WOLF: Ruling makes no sense
I see that Mr. Mize got screwed by our politically correct, and intellectually challenged legal system. I guess common sense doesn’t count anymore in the courts. It is all legal trivia and what “deals lawyers can m…
BOOK: Just who is the bully?
Poor, poor, poor, poor MaryJo Finney. She doesn’t get her way so she’s crying bully. She’s the bully, as far as I’m concerned. She wants to control everybody’s life according to her rigid religious belief system an…
FLOWERS: Theft is unconscionable
Dear Jeanne,
MOUNTAIN: Yes on public use
The GEM committee is excited and supports the opening up of the mountain property for public use. The city of Rathdrum has acreage close to the city that could be used for hiking, picnicking and other low density u…
