SOUP: Hats off to charity winners
Once again I participated in the Soup Off for St. Vincent de Paul as a member of the Carlin Bay Yogatinis. We are a group of yoga practicing friends on the east side of the lake who participate in many community fu…
DIVERSITY: Employing the wrong tactics
With all due respect to Mr. Tony Stewart, his efforts in using illegal (“unauthorized”) immigrants as a stride toward diversity are preposterous! How can the trend of increasing illegal (“unauthorized”) immigration…
AIRPORT: Awaiting actual answers
Thank you to Larry Spencer for his informative “My Turn” piece entitled “Does Hayden want to close the airport.” If you didn’t notice it, that is probably because it was buried in the bowels of the paper with “Lega…

CHOICE: Location, and attitude
I can’t help but wonder why Millie Hayes doesn’t move back to her beloved California. She must miss the sky high taxes, crowded everything, no water, rude people (especially those behind the wheel) and only one sea…
CALIFORNIA: Rip at own peril
Ah yes, more California bashing by the ex-Californians, as all exes do. But know this: California grew by two times Idaho’s population between 2000 and 2010. California doesn’t miss you.
RECALL: Past, present & future
During the past two weeks, articles by Mr. Green and Mr. Shelton have unfairly maligned local citizens within the Mica Kidd Island Fire District (MKIFD). While our veterans paid the ultimate price to enable free sp…
