COMPANIONS: Abandoned dog met with compassion
The story of Loomie in Saturday’s Press moved me to tears. And I’m not even a dog person — I’m a cat lover. But, my heart went out to that little fur baby that someone would so heartlessly abandon and such a cruel way.

Coeur d'Alene School District balances operating budget
Surplus of $1.65 million projected for next year
Much belt-tightening and reduction of expenditures have been put into place to balance what would have been a $6 million 2025 fiscal year budget shortfall in the Coeur d'Alene School District. Director of Finance Shannon Johnston provided a comprehensive overview of the district's finances Monday evening during a budget hearing, held at Midtown Meeting Center in Coeur d'Alene. “Next year, we are projecting a $1.65 million surplus," Johnston said. "Negotiations have not occurred yet, and that’s why you’re going to see a surplus. We have not settled on anything."
MY TURN: Don't let ego, pride and control interfere with the mission
What are three things that hinder or destroy an organization or relationship? Answer: ego, pride and control. Nothing distorts a group’s mission more than a member placing their ego above the mission. A person’s identity can get tangled up in the purpose and it’s hard to separate the two.

PRIDE: We choose love
We were extremely distressed to read the many Letters to the Editor protesting Coeur d’Alene’s recent Pride celebration. Many of the writers stated that this event did not represent Coeur d’Alene. We disagree!

Katie Blank served library district for over 30 years
Katie Blank, a longtime Community Library Network trustee, has resigned from the board. Blank served on the library board for more than 30 years and as chair for more than 10 of those years. She submitted her resignation Sunday. "Recently some very challenging health concerns have been brought to my attention," Blank said in the resignation letter. "This has caused me to look carefully at the priorities in my life. I am realizing that it is no longer sustainable for me to serve on this board. It is negatively affecting my health. It is negatively affecting our livelihood. It is negatively affecting my relationships with my family and friends."

The progression of meteorology
The advancement of meteorology has taken huge strides, especially in recent years. Meteorology is the study of the atmosphere and its phenomena, plus its interaction with the earth’s surface oceans and life in general.
PRIDE: Event doesn’t represent Coeur d’Alene
The recent Coeur d’Alene Press headline “Coeur d’Alene Celebrates Pride in the Park” misrepresents many of us in Coeur d’Alene, both as free American citizens and residents.

PHARMACIES: PBMs are killing independent owners
As a local pharmacist, it was refreshing for me to see an article in The Press about the challenges facing pharmacies today. Low insurance reimbursement does not affect only rural pharmacies, however, but is leading to the demise of all independently owned pharmacies. Contrary to what Greg Lopes would want you to believe, PBMs are definitely and primarily responsible for the closure of many pharmacies. Not only, as the article pointed out, are 25% of claims paid below cost, but many more pay mere pennies above the cost of the drug. After adding the direct cost of the vial, lid and label, easily 50% of claims are paid at or below cost.

PRIDE: Truth isn’t relative
It’s that time of year again when Pride events come into full bloom. Such displays are fundamentally about promoting a worldview — relativism. What’s marketed as: “Love,” “Tolerance,” “Inclusiveness,” etc., masks an underlying force to accept relativistic philosophical ideas. For those of an opposing absolute truth worldview, such exhibitions, couched behind emotionally charged words, are an affront to what is held dear — Truth.
