EDITORIAL: Back your favorite Idaho business gems
These small businesses enrich us all.
DEFAMATION: Thornbrugh’s coverage was excellent
The Coeur d’Alene Press has a gem among it’s many talented and professional journalists. I’m referring to Kaye Thornbrugh and the excellent job she did during the defamation lawsuit trial against Summer Bushnell that was so justly brought by Eric Posey.
OUR GEM: Youth Water Summit winners
On May 21, students from eight area high schools gathered for the 13th annual Youth Water Summit, a research fair where students present their water-related research as the culmination of a year-long program known as The Confluence Project. This initiative focuses on teaching students about the quantity and quality of water in the Idaho Panhandle.
OUR GEM: Harmful algal blooms pose risk
Freshwater algae are a natural and important part of lake, river and stream ecosystems. They produce oxygen by photosynthesis, take up nutrients such as phosphorus from water and are the foundation of aquatic food webs. As with many things in life, there can be too much of a good thing.

Senior Meals: June 24-28
OPINION: Conventional wisdom
The Idaho Republican Convention happened last weekend and it was a success in multiple ways. The three-day event began with committee meetings held at The Coeur d’Alene Resort and ended with a General Session at NIC’s Schuler Auditorium. The NIC catering staff supplied a delicious lunch for 750 people on both Friday and Saturday. Friday night was the Idaho Republican Gala Dinner at The Resort Convention Center with speeches by Dorothy Moon, Raul Labrador, Bill Whittle and a keynote address by Kari Lake.
OPINION: A serious case of mistaken identity among Idaho’s three political parties
It was a pleasant surprise to find a letter from Governor Brad Little when I opened my mailbox on June 10. But it was unsettling to read his warning against voting for Idaho Democratic candidates who might endanger his “record of success.” Thinking back over the years, Democratic legislators have played a significant role in that success. For instance, the Governor’s letter touted the Idaho Launch program, which provides kids with workforce training grants. That program would not have seen the light of day in 2023 without the essential support of House and Senate Democrats. They gave it strong support again this year. In fact, the Democrats in the Legislature have given the Governor support on numerous issues since he took office in January 2019.
LEGION BASEBALL: DeBoer shines as Lums win Ellensburg tourney
"He was awesome today," Coeur d'Alene coach Darren Taylor said. "He threw a gem in that first game; that was the real championship game. They're a real good team; that was a fun game to watch. They had a good pitcher going, and went blow for blow."
Ray Earl Hansen, 79
Ray Earl Hansen, age 79, peacefully passed away on the afternoon of June 17, 2024, at his home in Wallace, Idaho.
CIVIL WAR: Rhetoric is dangerous
Memorial Day; a time to honor and remember our fallen veterans. They were our fathers, sons, husbands, brothers and in many cases, mothers, daughters sisters and wives. Families were broken, hundreds of thousands were wounded and live a life of pain and disability. Not something you would wish on a loved one.
Chamber: The gathering place
I want to express my deep sadness and total outrage over the recent incident in McEuen Park.
E Pluribus Unum: Out of many, one
In recent years, Coeur d'Alene has experienced several disturbing incidents of hate and harassment targeting underrepresented minorities. These incidents have included verbal attacks, and other forms of discrimination. A recent event occurred in McEuen Park, where youths from the Coeur d'Alene Tribe were verbally harassed. This incident underscores the ongoing presence of intolerance and bigotry in our community. Tragically, this vitriol seems to be the norm on social media, but our beloved community must consider holding itself to a higher standard.
MY TURN: Standing against hate in our community
The recent incident at McEuen Park, where students from the Coeur d’Alene Tribe were racially harassed, is a stark reminder of the work we must continue to do to foster a community of respect and understanding. Hate, in any form, cannot be tolerated. It is not just an attack on individuals but an assault on the very fabric of our community.
OPINION: Kootenai County's Call to Action: Fostering local unity through preparedness
It’s more than obvious we are living in historic times. Unfortunately, historic times are usually not tranquil times. Here in our beloved Kootenai County, we have recently experienced a spate of tumultuous events, including the racial incident involving the Utah Women’s basketball team, the arrest of an 18-year-old man on terrorist suspicions, a politicized defamation trial, and most recently, another racial incident, concerning the Coeur d’Alene Tribe.

MEMORIAL DAY: Of honor and unity
As the warmth of summer beckons, Americans gather to honor a solemn tradition: Memorial Day. Beyond its status as a long weekend, or the unofficial start of summer, Memorial Day carries profound significance rooted in remembrance, gratitude and national unity.
Vandals extend Eck through 2028 football season
"We are very pleased with the progress our program has made in our first two years," Eck said. "We are not content. Our sights are set on bringing a championship to Moscow. My family and I love the University of Idaho and this community. We are grateful to President Scott Green and Terry Gawlik for this contract extension to remain here."
