The moratorium has been a goal of the city’s Historic Preservation Commission, particularly since the recent demolition of the E. Lakeshore Drive 1925 home of the late Dr. E.R.W. "Ted" Fox and the historic Roosevelt Inn possibly facing the same fate with a developer offering to buy the property.

Manzardo sent back down to Triple-A

“Obviously Kyle had some huge hits for us, and contributed to a lot of wins,” Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt told Cleveland media, prior to Tuesday’s game vs. the visiting Seattle Mariners. “We had to make a roster decision, and we felt Kyle getting down to Columbus, and getting consistent playing time every day, playing first base and getting back into a rhythm, and into a groove ... and he’ll be ready whenever we need him again. But, it was more about his playing time, and we’d seen his playing time dwindle over the past couple of weeks ... just wanting him to get consistent at-bats to work on the things that he needs to.”

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.

Neither incursion was an invasion, or even a maneuver meant to test the South’s defenses, Seoul says, but more likely an accident.

If you own rental property, you need to understand how trusts and LLCs work together to avoid probate and protect against liability

One of the most important parts of having a living trust designed to avoid probate is to have those assets which would normally require probate assigned to the trust. By this I mean that the trust needs to be the owner of the probate-causing assets (more technically, the Trustee of the trust is the owner, but in his or her capacity as Trustee). In Idaho, one asset that will almost always implicate the need for a probate after death is real estate. So, when I help clients establish a living trust for estate planning, I also assist them in getting their real estate retitled into their trust. This typically means preparing, executing, and recording a new deed for the client’s personal residence which names the trust as the titled owner of the property going forward (again, technically, the deed shows the Trustee of the trust as the titled owner, but in their capacity as Trustee of said trust). If a client owns more than one residence, we will be repeating this process for each.

MY TURN: Don't let ego, pride and control interfere with the mission

What are three things that hinder or destroy an organization or relationship? Answer: ego, pride and control. Nothing distorts a group’s mission more than a member placing their ego above the mission. A person’s identity can get tangled up in the purpose and it’s hard to separate the two.

OPINION: Dorothy Moon is fueling efforts to detoxify Idaho’s Republican Party

Dorothy Moon held onto her position as boss of the extremist branch of Idaho’s Republican Party at the GOP convention in Coeur d’Alene on June 15. Mary Souza challenged Moon for the chairmanship in hopes of bringing more moderation to the party but failed on a vote of 376-228. A tremendous effort had been made by reasonable Republicans to win a majority of precinct committee positions in this year’s closed GOP primary. The objective was to vote the extremists out and change the direction of the party. Despite creditable success in some areas of the state, the reformers did not get their majority. They will in the next election, if they keep at it.
