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.
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

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.

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.

PRIDE: You ARE loved!
While reading the newspaper, I see opinions stating that pride doesn’t represent them. I felt the need to share my view of pride from an ally and mother of a queer kid.
