THE CHEAP SEATS with STEVE CAMERON: M's had a chance to put the hated Astros away

SOMETIME, maybe in September, the Mariners could regret letting this Thursday snooze get away. Worse than halting their modest four-game win streak, perhaps more important than keeping them from rising higher than four games over .500, what the M’s critically FAILED to do was drive a stake through Houston’s dark heart. So, the undead Astros remain alive in the AL West race.

80 years later, Coeur d'Alene veterans reflect on D-Day

Morgensen, along with fellow VFW Post 889 in Coeur d’Alene veterans Bob Martin and Paul Mahlow, shared their thoughts on D-Day over a cup of coffee with The Press.

THE CHEAP SEATS with STEVE CAMERON: The ever-changing world of uniforms, from awesome to blah

I’VE LOVED uniforms since I first cared about sports. In other words, when I got scolded by a grumpy Catholic nun in fifth grade because I was drawing a St. Louis Cardinal shirt (the birds on the bat were, and ARE, the very best), and she wanted me to pay attention to social studies.

How does “Missing Middle Housing” affect the housing crisis?

In a recent presentation by the National Home Builders Association at a summit hosted by the North Idaho Building Contractors it was predicted that as a country, we need to build two million homes in the next few years in order to address the nationwide housing crisis and shortage.

Other videos posted online showed the bull running through a concession area, knocking over a garbage can and sending people scrambling. The bull lifted one person off the ground, spun them end over end, and bounced them off its horns before the person hit the ground.

THE CHEAP SEATS with STEVE CAMERON: The M's need a bat, real soon

Let’s talk about baseball trades. Seriously. I added that one last word because there are a thousand stories, podcasts and interviews floating around — and most of them are just churning out the same names, same teams, yada, yada.

REGAN: Not rational about NIC

I would like to voice extreme exception to Brent Regan’s opinion column “Rational thinking” in the May 31 edition of the Coeur d’Alene Press. I wonder if the swamp gas floating over Coeur d’Alene also includes the systematic partial destruction of North Idaho College?

OPINION: The 2024 GOP primary results show the urgent need for election reform

The results of the Republican primary election graphically demonstrate, once again, how the closed primary, together with massive amounts of out-of-state dark money, ensures minority-controlled government in Idaho. It is no wonder that Dorothy Moon’s extremist branch of the GOP is doing everything possible to stop election reform. If Idaho voters approve the Open Primaries Initiative on November 5, the stranglehold she and her extremist allies have over the Republican Party will be forever broken. The Idaho Freedom Foundation (IFF) will lose its grip on the Legislature. Reasonable, pragmatic Republicans will oust the divisive GOP culture warriors from positions of power. Every Idahoan will have an equal voice in choosing their leaders.
