CITIZEN OF THE YEAR: Honor for Adams

Kudos to the Greater Coeur d’Alene Chamber of Commerce for selecting my husband and partner for the last 32 years, John Adams, as 2023 Citizen of the Year. We could not be prouder. Together John and I combined our salaries to raise and help through college, all seven of our children in our merged family. It was an interesting and challenging time, but we succeeded.

OPINION: Students call for attention to environmental issues

Since 1881, the Coeur d’Alene Public School District has been providing high quality education to members of the larger Kootenai County area. The district has understood that education must be adaptable; when significant events occur, education undergoes changes. We update our curriculum to ensure that students comprehend pertinent current affairs, equipping them for their inevitable entry into the workforce and their lives at large.

For all the negative sentiment our government engenders, especially around these parts and including by myself at times, I’m sure glad they had our backs on this one.

OPEN PRIMARIES: Risks becoming a one-party system

Recently there has been much discussion regarding the open primary initiative. There are several things to consider: our country is based on the multiple party system for the exchange of ideas to provide what is best for the people and the country and the realization that no single party, religion or philosophy has the answer to all of society’s needs, rather it stifles dialogue, the exchange of ideas, growth and evolution.

HAYDEN: Urban renewal worries

As a longtime resident of Hayden, I’m surprised that more people are not concerned about the accountability and transparency of the Urban Renewal District. It seems that our Hayden City Council representative, Sandy White, is right in asking for a contract stating what Urban Renewal plans to do with our tax dollars.

CONSTITUTION: Time to stand and defend it

You either support the Constitution and our country’s laws, or you don’t. Somehow Trump and his MAGA crew have decided that following the facts and enforcing our laws is “weaponizing” the F.B.I. and the justice department. They have determined that if they don’t win in a free and fair election that it is OK to subvert the Constitution, conduct an illegal scheme to overthrow the duly elected president, and disregard the votes of millions of people.

FAST FIVE: Martha 'Marty' McCain: Growing up Art on the Green

Meet Martha "Marty" McCain, retired office manager, pre-school teacher, nurse and eternal volunteer at Art on the Green. Her parents, Jack and Liz Steve, were Co-founders of this amazing festival 55 years ago, bringing the arts to the forefront of our beautiful, diverse community. Along with art those many years ago, her mom and a couple of friends felt they needed some food options for the patrons, so they started the "Food Court" 54 years ago, cooking 250 hot dogs on the old tennis courts at McEuen. The next year the festival moved to grounds of our quaint North Idaho College where we are today.

OPINION: Welcome, but don't try to change us

This is an open letter to those of you who have arrived in Idaho since 2019. Welcome. You have arrived in a sanctuary state, not like the sanctuary cities from which you escaped that were sanctuaries for illegal immigrants, but a sanctuary for freedom loving, community-spirited people eager to live and let live and help a neighbor in need.

OPINION: Condemn racism and build a better future for Kootenai County

As Chair of the Kootenai County Democratic Central Committee, I am deeply troubled by recent events surrounding the NCAA Women's Basketball tournament held in Spokane. The fact that teams competing in the tournament felt compelled to change hotels from Coeur d'Alene to Spokane due to racism directed at them is not just a stain on our community, but a reminder of the work we still have ahead of us in combating bigotry and intolerance.
