Chamber: The gathering place
I want to express my deep sadness and total outrage over the recent incident in McEuen Park.
E Pluribus Unum: Out of many, one
In recent years, Coeur d'Alene has experienced several disturbing incidents of hate and harassment targeting underrepresented minorities. These incidents have included verbal attacks, and other forms of discrimination. A recent event occurred in McEuen Park, where youths from the Coeur d'Alene Tribe were verbally harassed. This incident underscores the ongoing presence of intolerance and bigotry in our community. Tragically, this vitriol seems to be the norm on social media, but our beloved community must consider holding itself to a higher standard.
ADVERTISING: Advertorial — Dallas Market: A retailer's paradise for sourcing unique gifts and wine accessories
As the owner of The Dinner Party, I recently had the opportunity to attend the Dallas Market. This event is a gathering for retailers like myself, offering a vast array of products to source for our shops. While many may associate our store primarily with wine, we offer a vast array of home décor and gift items that pair perfectly with an array of tastes and budgets.
OPINION: Kootenai County's Call to Action: Fostering local unity through preparedness
It’s more than obvious we are living in historic times. Unfortunately, historic times are usually not tranquil times. Here in our beloved Kootenai County, we have recently experienced a spate of tumultuous events, including the racial incident involving the Utah Women’s basketball team, the arrest of an 18-year-old man on terrorist suspicions, a politicized defamation trial, and most recently, another racial incident, concerning the Coeur d’Alene Tribe.
MY TURN: Ensuring a respectful and inclusive Fourth of July Parade
This year, we introduced new guidelines regarding the display of certain symbols and imagery in the parade, a decision that has unfortunately led to misunderstandings and accusations.
MY TURN: Kootenai County Public Service Announcement special attention: Washington criminals
Reservation Confirmation: Kootenai Sheriff Bed and Breakfast
Fourth of July is upon us and it is no surprise that many of our arrestees will come from the state of Washington. I have a responsibility to advise Washington criminals that Idaho laws are much different than those in Washington. Here are the top 10 things a criminal should know before bringing unlawful behavior into Kootenai County.
Vandals extend Eck through 2028 football season
"We are very pleased with the progress our program has made in our first two years," Eck said. "We are not content. Our sights are set on bringing a championship to Moscow. My family and I love the University of Idaho and this community. We are grateful to President Scott Green and Terry Gawlik for this contract extension to remain here."
OPINION: Convictions about principled presidential leadership
The conviction of a candidate for president of the United States for felony crimes is not a moment for celebration, but a time for reflection and recommitment to principles that define our democracy. We must carefully consider the character of those we elect, and advocate for leaders who prioritize public service above all else.
MY TURN: Anti Pride = Pro hate
What a beautiful celebration for our LBGTQ community last week in the City Park. Coming together to celebrate our differences always creates so much joy and unity within our community. Our differences do not make us weak, they make us stronger. Unfortunately that is not the opinion of a few bad apples in our community who chose to go out of their way to express their disdain for people who are not carbon copies of themselves. When you go out of your way to be “anti-pride” you are actually being pro-hate.
GRADUATION: Where was the coverage?
I find it hard to understand why there was no Press coverage of the local high school graduations in our area. This is a big deal!
HISTORY: Honoring veterans, protecting the vulnerable
Recently, our family created a military “shadow box” for a grandfather who served in both world wars (1917-1947) and an uncle who served in WWII and Korea.
GOOD OL’ DAYs: Plenty of good things about them
Susan Crowe’s Good ol’ Days column, June 8, is another in a long string of grievances by those who insist on keeping the memory of American wrongs and injustices, particularly, in Ms. Crowe’s case, committed by “the white middle class,” and by “white males, towns, and families” at the forefront of our history (see Communist manifestos and treatises on how to seize control of a nation). I see a deep-seated distain by her for America since its inception, i.e., founded by white Europeans (inherently wrong), and everything has gone downhill since then.
FAST FIVE Stephenie Kimener: Life is better in the country
Meet Stephenie Kimener of Long Mountain Meadows. She is a doting wife to Brian and mother to five wonderful children: Christopher, Timothy, Josephine, Benjamin and Gabriel. She is a self-proclaimed mediocre housewife who runs two businesses and homeschools her children. She prefers to be outside with her family and animals while neglecting her household duties, which she admits her husband is way better at doing anyways. She and her husband feel as though they have found their own little slice of heaven at the base of Long Mountain where the valley opens up to several waterways and meadows. She loves her highland cows, horses, dogs and various other farm animals. She gives God all the glory for the many blessings in her life.
CHURCH: God’s love is for all
In response to the letter from James Seeley in the June 5 edition of The Press, he is certainly entitled to his opinion, as we all are.
KROC CENTER: Love your neighbor
We are deeply troubled by the racial harassment recently experienced by Tribal school children at McEuen Park. We fully support the message Chairman Allan conveyed in response, emphasizing that “respect for all people must be a foundational principle of our community.” While there may be debates about free speech and rights, it is never acceptable to show a lack of human decency and community civility.
Local tech hub misses out on funding
Backers remain hopeful proposal will still work
No region is better equipped than ours to meet the unprecedented global demand for equipping 40,000 new airplanes with lightweight aerospace parts that reduce carbon emissions. Within a few years, the Inland Northwest Tech Hub can have prototypes ready for high-rate production, enabling thousands of new domestic manufacturing jobs to lessen our growing reliance on foreign technology and foreign labor. Missing this opportunity will increase our reliance on foreign labor, threatening our national and economic security. We will be working on every possible opportunity to make new American jobs and supply chains a reality.

ADVERTISING: Advertorial — Health freedom: Your choice
It’s finally July, with all the joys of summer! This time of year, many people take at least a cursory look at our freedoms and rights, and, hopefully, they are grateful for them: freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of press, freedom of assembly, freedom of petition, freedom of movement, freedom of association, freedom from discrimination, freedom from cruel or unusual punishment.
Police, fire officials seek info on Sandpoint Army Surplus fire
The fire was reported at about 10:15 p.m. July 4 with a full response from Sandpoint and Selkirk fire departments as well as mutual aid from Northside and Sam Owen fire districts. However, despite those efforts, the iconic downtown building was completely gutted with some of the creosote-soaked old timbers inside the building still burning more than 12 hours later.
TRUMP: Your taxes will go up
Trump will not take taxes from corporations and CEOs so the burden of paying our nation’s debts will fall on us — individuals.
