FENTANYL: Write to your members of Congress

Has anyone, especially our elected officials in the federal government, paid any serious attention at all to the magnitude of the number of American deaths recently attributed to fentanyl laced products being illegally brought into the USA through our southern border?

PRIDE: Event doesn’t represent Coeur d’Alene

Five years ago, we decided to move from our beautiful home overlooking the Oregon coast to the Coeur d’Alene area. One reason was political as North Idaho had the reputation of supporting conservative values, our values. After a couple of visits, we purchased a home in Rathdrum. When entering the state on I-90, the sign seemed not only to say Welcome to Idaho but welcome to the USA.

HOTEL: What it is — and what it isn't

I appreciate Joan Woodard's concerns that "Urban anywhere USA" Marriott has arrived in the form of a Branded Marriott product. It would be a bonus to see integrated use of materials to fit our brick and stone facades nearby on Sherman Avenue.

OPINION: Their hearts belong in the sky. Idahoans can help them soar

When Afghanistan fell to the Taliban in August 2021, Afghan aviators were ordered to fly their aircraft out of the country to keep them from falling into enemy hands. Over 300 pilots flew to surrounding countries, most of them having to leave their families behind. Many of those pilots have been resettled in the U.S., including 14 who now live in Idaho. They have been working multiple jobs in order to support themselves and their families back home. They would do much better if they could put their aviation skills to work.

MY TURN: Winning the race, losing the gold

A couple of friends asked if I would join them to watch the movie “Boys in the Boat.” Having spent most of my life on the East Coast, this movie was not particularly significant to me. Now, residing in the Pacific Northwest its importance in this region became obvious. In 1936 in this part of the country rowing as an Olympic sport lacked substantial backing at the college activities level. The University of Washington Huskies refused to be accept that lack of support.
