THE CHEAP SEATS with STEVE CAMERON: Possible sparks for M's: Robles, Chargois and, yes, Garver

Robles played 530 games in eight seasons for the Nationals, and it’s hard to keep much rhythm at the plate at that rate. There’s no doubt that Robles is a heck of a player. The Mariners need to light candles that he’d done getting hurt.

Sholeh: Pride in work is on the decline

Self-centeredness partly responsible.

Our planet's orbit may have contributed to ice ages

As the Rathdrum Prairie is developed, Scarcellos stick to tradition

Established in 1910, Scarcellos continue ranching legacy of their forefathers

Moss grows on gray, weathered wooden fenceposts held up by rusting barbed wire along the dusty drive. Black Angus cattle grazes in shady patches, avoiding the intense July heat. Laughter can be heard before people are seen beneath a blue tarp canopy, grilling brats and burgers, sipping Coors Banquets and telling tales — some tall, some true — of growing up in the country. “Hey, how you doing?” Laurin Scarcello asks, greeting cousins and friends with hugs and handshakes. “Make yourself at home.” The gathering of members of the Scarcello, Dingman, Miller, Brunner, Bonu, D'Ambrosia and Dempsey families and more happens every even year at the Scarcello ranch, where the family’s American dream first unfolded. The celebration is held to commemorate the continuation of a legacy that began when four Italian immigrant brothers sought better lives for their family and set down roots on the Rathdrum Prairie, of all places.

SNYDER LAKE: More articles like this should be published

I just read the Snyder Lake article by Bill Buley. As a lifelong outdoorsman, fellow mature runner, writer and avid reader I was truly impressed at his ability to put a reader there. Out on the trail, legs whacking underbrush, thinking about bears, a couple near falls and then taking a hefty spill. Particularly of note was hearing the dialog in his head — similar thoughts many of us have that are unremarkable until put in context like Bill did. Bravo!

NIC ATHLETICS: Focus should be on education

Athletics at a junior college level is at best of minimal value to the college or the athletes that compete. As you describe so well, it is beyond reason and comprehension to even consider supporting any junior college athletic program at the level suggested. To even suggest, let alone support, this as a good investment for our local junior college by the Board of Trustees is ludicrous at best and can’t be supported by facts or reality!

FIREWORKS: They threaten our homes

When we started reading the editorial “It’s time to snuff illegal fireworks,” dated July 31, we were at first pleased that you would be taking a stand in supporting the law and common sense regarding the use of illegal aerial fireworks. When we read further, we were very disappointed with what you propose as a solution. Do you actually think that the solution to let people break the law a little bit is the way to go?

BIDEN: Not honorable either

Reply to Dave Walker’s My Turn: I loved and respected both my mother and father, both who have been gone for decades. My mother taught me manners, courtesy, love and kindness to all no matter their religion, birth, clothes, etc. Besides these they both taught me the value of life character and respect of another one’s opinions. Both our accolades to our parents I am sure go on. At the top of your list honesty, integrity, credibility and ethics — you’re right, without those traits one should always be guarded of their encounters of a new acquaintance.

TRUMP: Lacks family values

The Press featured a guest opinion by Dave Walker. Dave spoke of the family values that he lives by. I read his article and reread it.
