MY TURN: 'We stand in support of you'

As a pastor and member of this community, I am saddened by the harassment of students from the Coeur d'Alene Tribe in McEuen Park this past Wednesday.

TRAFFIC: Left turn off highway is dangerous

This letter is in response to a letter I received after my presentation regarding left-hand turns into the shopping center near Kohl’s off of Prairie Avenue. As they stated in their letter, the turn into a private driveway across solid double yellow lines is not illegal. However, it is extremely dangerous! To be making left-hand turns into a private driveway so close to an intersection, where there is no dedicated left-turn lane, and crossing over three lanes of oncoming traffic, some of which can’t be seen while making a left-hand turn into the driveway.

LIBRARY: CleanBooks4Kids is grassroots

I must correct assertions from Theresa Birkett’s May 29 My Turn. Perhaps Ms. Birkett needs a dictionary because “dictates” are from dictators. CleanBooks4Kids is a grassroots group of concerned Kootenai County citizens. As such, our influence is focused on community education — as our website attests. Regarding “concrete evidence,” if we encased these sexually explicit books for minors in concrete frames, it still wouldn’t be enough “concrete” evidence for some. Nevertheless, undeniable evidence is available at CleanBooks4Kids.com. Keep in mind that these examples are only a subset of what’s available and far from a complete listing.

Identical twins have much to celebrate as they prepare to graduate from Lake City High

Identical twins have much to celebrate as they prepare to graduate from Lake City High

Having an identical twin means having a built-in best friend. “I don’t know how else to live,” Jillian Scott said Friday afternoon, sitting next to her twin sister Acaja Scott. “People ask, ‘How is it being a twin?’ Well, I’ve never experienced not being a twin. I have other siblings that aren’t my twins, but being a twin is kind of like my identity.” “I always think, ‘My friends have to be so lonely, but I always have Jillian to talk to,’" Acaja said. "We kind of do everything together. I think going separate ways will be hard, but it will be kind of fun because when we do get to see each other again it will be more special.”

THE FRONT ROW with MARK NELKE: Still a hit in Stillwater — Vanessa Shippy-Fletcher, the Lake City High product and former Oklahoma State star, now making an impact on the Cowgirls as batting coach

“I pinch myself every day," Shippy-Fletcher said earlier this season, in an interview published in “The O’Colly,” Oklahoma State’s student newspaper. "The reason I chose Oklahoma State in high school was because I wanted to choose a program that I felt like I could make a difference in. And when I made that decision, I just figured it’d be as a player. It’s really a dream come true to continue to be a part of the process this program continues to make. Especially under Coach G's leadership.”
