As a proud employee of the Coeur d’Alene School District, and the mother of two current Coeur d’Alene School District students, I urge you to vote for Heather Tenbrink and Jimmy McAndrew in the upcoming school board election on Nov. 7.

OPINION: Republicans for health care

If you are a regular reader of the Coeur d’Alene Press, you are well aware of the divisive politics railing our community. As a long-standing North Idaho Republican, it was this division and subsequent damage to our community that motivated me and more than 80 other local longtime Republicans to form the North Idaho Republicans group. It’s our belief that we will do more good for our community by developing thoughtful ways to improve our local institutions and quality of life rather than inciting fear and bringing institutions like our community college, schools and libraries to the brink of destruction.

ELECTION: Vote for Griffin, Schroeder and Gibbons

Do not let our School District be held hostage to the political divisiveness we’ve seen in West Bonner County School District and the NIC board. I have lived in the Silver Valley for 50+ years. I support our public education system and the very dedicated and hardworking employees in School District 391. It’s easy to take for granted what you have until you don’t have it. Democracy, public education, and public libraries are just a few of the systems that serve all of us and are crucial to the functioning of successful communities.

SPORTS OFFICIALS: Deserve respect, gratitude

All three of the schools in our wonderful community have excellent sports programs. All of the coaches, parents and players get a lot of recognition for their support and hard work, but the real heroes of every game, match or tournament are the officials. They make each and every game possible for our sports programs, but they do not seem to get the recognition they deserve.

COUNTY PARK and REC PLAN: An urgent need

I am writing to express my concern about the lack of a comprehensive park and recreation master plan in Kootenai County, a critical issue highlighted by the recent rejection of the open space bond proposal on Nov. 7. While I voted against the bond proposal due to the absence of a publicly supported plan, I commend our Board of County Commissioners for putting the matter to a vote.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION: A national crisis

Our Panhandle, a rather unique shape, is a beautiful part of this world. One of the primary reasons is our people who call this land home. My experience living here since 2001 is that folks are glad to be right here. People here are chill. They like/want to be here. As we grow, we welcome those who want to embrace who we are and what we have to offer. Take time to listen and assimilate.
