U.S.: We go back for our wounded

Our American military practices a unique, fundamental and inviolable rule on the field of battle: We go back for our wounded. Through the hail of bullets, at extreme peril to themselves, our soldiers, our countrymen, go back for their wounded, our wounded.

LEVY: Help the trend continue

Our community has a history of strong support for our children's education. Let's continue supporting our school district. Please join me in voting yes on March 8th. It is essential for our schools...our kids...our future!

LIBRARY: Friends, step forward

I am writing to let you know about the Community Library Foundation, a 501-(-3 organization. We have seven library buildings in our District — Athol, Harrison, Hayden, Pinehurst, Post Falls, Rathdrum and Spirit Lake, plus a bookmobile. The foundation raises funds to pay for projects in the different libraries. We think the libraries are an important part of our community for our adults and children.

ADVERTISING: Advertorial — GEORGE BALLING: Our philosophy

When you venture into a wine shop pretty much anywhere, it is likely a bit daunting. Questions run through your mind. How is this place organized? Are all the white wines in one spot? What if I want something specifically from Spain? I wonder if they offer a discount for 6, or 12. Do they have a wine club?

LEVY: A burden worth bearing

I’m writing to encourage you to vote YES for our Coeur d’Alene School District Maintenance and Operations Levy on Tuesday. Our future generations’ education is vitally important to the success of our kids, our community and our country. What better reasons are there?

RIGHTS: Seniors deserve them, too

I live in a 35-unit HUD complex for seniors. We moved into this building because it is a secured, locked building supposed to protect us from outside predators. Now we have one living among us. We recently were informed that a sex offender is one of our tenants and he assaulted one of the women living here in the complex. Our lease specifically says if a criminal act occurs it is cause for an immediate eviction. However our property management has refused to have this man removed from our building. We contacted a news medium from Spokane and they, after interviewing our manager and the suspect, refused to cover our story.

LEVY: In a word, it's vital

I urge our community to support the school levy for the Coeur d’Alene and Post Falls school districts on March 10. Our future as a community and state, is based upon our educational capacities and abilities. It is vital, that our students are allowed the opportunities that these important levies can provide. Economic vibrancy and vitality is dependent upon a skilled and trained population. Please vote to endorse this vital piece of our educational budget. We can choose excellence by our involvement and support of our students and those who teach and lead them.

HELP: Locals again answer call

I am once again reminded what a loving and giving community we live in. On Jan. 17, I contacted the Coeur d’Alene Press about the increasing number of cold and hungry people we are seeing at the St. Vincent de Paul HELP Center, in our shelters and our warming center. The CDA Press ran an article asking our community to help supply food for the men, women and children who are cold and hungry coming to our facilities. As the article stated, with the cold weather and lack of affordable housing our numbers have increased dramatically this winter for those in need.

LEVY: Don't let kids down

Next Tuesday, March 12, the people of Coeur d’Alene have a major opportunity to support the schools of our area and all of the bright young minds being taught at those schools. We are voting on a levy that will have a drastic impact on the youngest, most vulnerable portion of our population. They cannot vote yes for themselves, so it is our job to do it instead.

Discover us again...

Since we just finished unpacking all the boxes and putting the finishing touches on our brand new office, I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to let you all know a little more about Spoelstra Family Chiropractic and our vision. This past weekend we moved from our first location in Hayden to our beautiful new office in Coeur d'Alene. Our new address is located at 370 E. Kathleen Ave., Suite 600. We're directly across the street from the fairgrounds between Government Way and Fourth Street.

PRAYER: Time of true inspiration

My husband and I attended the National Day of Prayer gathering on May 5 at the Coeur d'Alene City Hall and were encouraged by the leaders, the music and all those who came to pray for our nation. Fifteen pastors from our area gave prayers and scripture readings. The content included many areas of concern to all of us, not just the concerns of those who attended.

NIC: President's game plan

The treatment North Idaho College athletics has received from our conference leadership for league violations is unquestionably excessive. Anyone interested in following the process, from the initial notice of the investigation to our appeal and the issuance of sanctions, may do so — all relevant source documents are on our website for public view (www.nic.edu/nwacresults). You will find in our appeal, that NIC vigorously fought the incredibly disproportionate penalties for the violations committed. We logically and systematically made the case that our students should not become victims of rule violations in which they had no part.

Op-Ed: Would you go to war to save my children and yours?

If an armed and dangerous enemy of our great state and nation were found to be amassing at our borders, determined to harm our most vulnerable, would you join the fight to protect your neighbor?

With sincere thanks

Local wine consumers and our friends and customers will be reading this on New Year’s Day. It is hard for Mary and I to believe that we are closing the books on our 12th year in business here in Coeur d’Alene. We just passed the anniversary on Dec. 17. Since that date in 2007, we have hosted many winemaker dinners, wine tastings, wine club release parties and other events here at our shop and with our wonderful restaurant partner for our winemaker dinners at Fleur de Sel in Post Falls.

CLIMATE: Step up, America

Two of the values that we share are personal responsibility and investing in our children. We are accountable for our actions. We build better lives for our children. We don’t ask others to do our work for us, or take from our children’s future for an easier life today. Such actions are contrary to our values. Idaho does the right thing, regardless of how hard it is. We find a way.

CDA SCHOOL LEVY: Teachers asking for support

Like many of you in our community, the failure of the school district levy has my heart heavy. Being a teacher in our district, a wife of a teacher/coach in our district, and having two kids in our district, it has been a lot to process. This vote has not only affected my personal life, but that of my school family.

OPINION: A letter of thanks

As another school year winds down, we reflect on the tremendous growth and progress our students, teachers, and staff have achieved. It’s always a bittersweet time as we say goodbye to our students for the summer. Many will go off adventuring at the many camps offered around our region, spend time with family, experience first-time summer jobs, and for our seniors, the beginning of the next chapter of their young adult lives. We are proud of our students and staff and are grateful for their hard work. It won’t be long until we welcome a new group of learners to the district along with our returning students, and we look forward to that!
