OPINION: Let’s celebrate Juneteenth
Over and over again, we hear community leaders say, “North Idaho is not racist.”

MY TURN: Tribe exemplifies 'kindness, generosity and stewardship'
I realize that people are different and that they have different views and beliefs. I respect the fact that they are entitled to their opinion. That being said, I can not remain silent. When is the insanity going to stop? Reading the account of the racial harassment that took place at McEuen Park against students from the Tribal School both saddened and angered me. Adults ridiculing and harassing eighth graders because of their heritage is truly an act of bullying, and the perpetrators are at best, cowards.

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.
DEFAMATION: Thornbrugh’s trial coverage was exceptional
I am writing to celebrate and commend reporter Kaye Thornbrugh for her exceptional coverage of the Posey v. Bushnell trial. Kaye was the sole journalist present during this landmark case, which concluded with a $1.176 million defamation award to drag performer Eric Posey against Summer Bushnell.
PRIDE: God created the joyous complexity of life
I was happy I could have a booth at the Pride in the Park event last Saturday. It was a fun and festive event. I am disappointed, but not surprised, at the number of negative letters to the editor this event engendered.
North Idaho receives funding to combat impaired driving
The North Idaho DUI Task Force is a coalition of 15 regional law enforcement agencies.
COUNTY: Study group voted for no change
The Optional Forms of Government Study Commission was not discontinued due to persuasive testimony by any one group. The study group worked for a year and heard many public comments. No commenters were ever asked to identify their affiliation.
MY TURN: The good old days
I was shopping in a local store a couple of weeks ago when I overheard two women talking about how they wish we could go back to “the good old days” when things were so much better. I have heard that same mantra expressed many times over recent years. And I have always had the same internal reaction…good old days? For whom?
MARGASON FAMILY: Thank you for support during difficult time
The family of Rich Margason would like to thank everyone who called, stopped by and sent cards during our difficult time.
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.
Souza to run for Idaho GOP chair
Mary Souza will run for the Idaho Republican Party chairmanship at the state convention next weekend in Coeur d’Alene.
FRONT PLATES: Do we really need them?
This is a reply to former Trooper Walterscheidt’s recent complaint on Idahoans’ lack of seeing the need of running a front plate.
MY TURN: Regan’s his name; divide and conquer is his game
Kootenai County has become a microcosm of growing delusion, deep community division and a rapid dissolving of ties that once bound us together. Unchecked, this status promises an era of political instability and civic anarchy.
Fair foundation awards scholarships
This year's scholarships, awarded to 18 students from local schools, totaled over $20,000.
Housing: Why regional approach matters
Avoiding duplicative efforts and costs is part of the equation
Blackfeet Nation resumes enforcement of Chief Mountain closure
The closure affects the one-mile radius from the base of Chief Mountain and is in effect for everyone except Blackfeet people who use the area for cultural and spiritual practices.
TRUMP: Trial was rigged
Stalin would be pleased! Andrey Vyshinsky, Stalin’s favorite Show Trial Prosecutor, would be proud of the proceedings in N.Y. vs. Trump. Every technique employed by Vyshinsky except depriving the accused of his belt was used by Judge Juan Merchan to ensure that this People’s Court arrived at the predestined verdict.
