MY TURN: Standing by Pastor Paul
I’d like to take the opportunity to respond to the Jan. 17 editorial, “Who knew reconciliation is evil?” The editors took aim at my friend and fellow pastor Paul Van Noy of Candlelight Christian Fellowship. While the editors write with disdain for Pastor Paul, it should be noted that he has labored faithfully within our community for more than 25 years as a pastor and community leader. For about 20 years he has led the Kootenai County Ministerial Association which, despite the claims of the editorial, consists of a broad range of Christian churches within our community with varying convictions — Evangelical, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Nazarene, Independent, Assembly of God, Baptist, Non-denominational, Friends, Church of Christ, Reformed, Anglican — hardly a list that “precisely mirrors” Pastor Paul’s own views.
RECALL: On wrong track
I am writing in support of our City Council for reinstating the mask mandate in our city.
EDMONDSON: Local, and qualified
I support Kim Edmondson for sheriff because I believe she brings the proper balance of local experience, education and leadership. These three attributes are needed to continue the advancement of our Sheriff’s Office.
Casino pushes large-scale events to next year
WORLEY — The Coeur d’Alene Casino announced Wednesday that upcoming large-scale events scheduled for 2020 will be rescheduled for next year due to concerns for the ability to safely host a large gathering during the continuing COVID-19 pandemic.
MASKS: Your way, our way
Compromise is an odd thing these days.
METALQUEST: Happy to be here
As we approach three months since opening MetalQuest’s Post Falls location, we would like to express our most sincere gratitude to Kootenai County for making us feel so welcome.
LEVY: This time, let’s do it
As a retired principal from Post Falls, I was saddened to hear that the supplemental levy failed in March.
POLLUTION: Speak out, clean up air
Air pollution is a matter of life and death. We must cut the mercury, soot, smog and carbon dioxide pollution that threatens our environment and causes asthma attacks, respiratory diseases and premature death.
QUESTIONS: Need to be addressed
Common sense has been missing in America for quite some time. Questions need to be addressed. Why are we supporting a two-party system of government?
PRESS: Pleased with coverage
On behalf of myself and the Inland Northwest SIDS Foundation Board of Directors, I would like to thank The Press for your amazing coverage of our debut event “Run for the Angels” on Sunday, Oct. 7. Your reporters, Maureen Dolan and Brian Walker, captured our mission to the community in the beautiful stories they wrote throughout the week. Not only were the facts about SIDS and Safe Sleep 100 percent correct, their exemplary writing touched the hearts of many people.

DEMS: A place for real balance
Democrats, take heart and come out of the closet in Kootenai County! Our nine brave candidates on the general election ballot for Idaho state legislature seats garnered from 29-43 percent of the votes in their districts. You can reasonably assume that in a randomly aggregated group, about one in every three will identify as leaning or strong Democrat. You are not alone!
HEROES: Welcome home with parade
Now that our troops have been withdrawn from Iraq, it would be appropriate for a welcome-home parade down Sherman Avenue in Coeur d'Alene to honor our brave heroes home. Thanking all of the National Guard, Army and all service members who served in Iraq and Afghanistan would be very appropriate. Marching military units, military bands and a fly over would be great followed by a concert and barbecue in the park.
NOTICE: Instructions for our gas thief
To the thief who broke out a side vent window of an old 4-Runner (to release the gas tank cover latch so you could access and steal the gas) and who also siphoned gas from our old RV. I want to thank you for not stealing or vandalizing anything else in our barn.
ILLEGALS: Block them via jobs
Here we are trying to stop illegal immigration as one of our major problems in the USA and what do our “elected representatives” do? Vote to allow them!
WEALTHY: Pitch in to help nation
When ballplayers sign a contract for $27 million a year for three years and the wealthy have so much money they don't know what to do with it, why don't the billionaires save our country? Some of our top people are doing great things for other countries but they made their money here in America.
SCHOOLS: Vote 'yes' for bond
A great decision was made by the people of Coeur d’Alene and our school board six years ago when we chose to support Sorensen Elementary, our historic downtown neighborhood school. Some thought it was time to modernize by consolidating the students to bigger and newer schools. Fortunately, we had the sense to maintain a traditional, now 55-year-old school with a unique history and a thriving culture of art, creativity and academic success.
NEMEC: Unequaled medical experience
We need Neil Nemec, M.D. for our hospital Board of Trustees.
SUGGESTED: Beach and fireworks
It was great that someone put in a shower and foot wash at City Park, but now it is time to put something down at the public parts of Sanders Beach. Our little neighborhood beach is getting busier with triathlete swimmers and locals discovering a smaller, quieter beach. It would be nice for our athletes and locals to have at least a foot shower at both entrances to the Sanders beaches. This would be a beneficial investment.
HEARN: He solves problems
Tom Hearn will bring a much-needed trait to his role as our State Representative: creative problem solver! His background as a social worker has helped hundreds, perhaps thousands, of our neighbors solve their individual problems. And his work on state and school district boards has shown an ability to find consensus in group processes that should be invaluable in working across political aisles to find solutions, rather than political posturing.
