FBI: Came through for North Idaho

For all the negative sentiment our government engenders, especially around these parts and including by myself at times, I’m sure glad they had our backs on this one.

HAYDEN: Urban renewal worries

As a longtime resident of Hayden, I’m surprised that more people are not concerned about the accountability and transparency of the Urban Renewal District. It seems that our Hayden City Council representative, Sandy White, is right in asking for a contract stating what Urban Renewal plans to do with our tax dollars.

OPINION: Condemn racism and build a better future for Kootenai County

As Chair of the Kootenai County Democratic Central Committee, I am deeply troubled by recent events surrounding the NCAA Women's Basketball tournament held in Spokane. The fact that teams competing in the tournament felt compelled to change hotels from Coeur d'Alene to Spokane due to racism directed at them is not just a stain on our community, but a reminder of the work we still have ahead of us in combating bigotry and intolerance.

HOTEL: What it is — and what it isn't

I appreciate Joan Woodard's concerns that "Urban anywhere USA" Marriott has arrived in the form of a Branded Marriott product. It would be a bonus to see integrated use of materials to fit our brick and stone facades nearby on Sherman Avenue.

MIRROR: Suggestion for column writer

Here is the first line of Brent Regan’s column last Friday. “It seems like our governments are populated with sociopaths that would rather blow up our institutions and economy than give power back to the people.”

MY TURN: Investing in Idaho’s forestry workforce

It’s no secret that forestry is an important part of Idaho’s economy. A 2023 University of Idaho study found that the forest products business sector contributed $2.5 billion to Idaho’s gross state product in 2022. The vast majority of the $61 million in state endowment lands money that went to public schools in 2023 came from timber harvesting proceeds. That means close to 30,000 of our friends, families and neighbors work in Idaho forests. They’re the loggers, truck drivers, mill workers, foresters, sales and accounting professionals who sustainably manage our forests to produce lumber, paper products, furniture and other wood products.

RACISM: Not hard to connect dots

What a horrible face a few radical dimwits put on Coeur d’Alene and North Idaho. The almost unbelievable treatment given to our honored guests, the University of Utah basketball team competing in the prestigious NCAA Basketball Tournament in Spokane.

VIGIL: Invitation to all residents

We are writing to invite the community to a vigil in response to the racial incident involving the University of Utah women’s basketball team. As a group of concerned citizens, we feel a larger response from our community is needed to let the team, as well as people in our community, come together in support and love to combat the hate that was directed toward them.

LEARNING: Critic writes an obituary

Imitating Post Falls, our Coeur d’Alene School District is teasing the idea of reducing the school week from five days to four. The excuse is a spurious claim that money will be saved, but the reason is much simpler. Administrators and teachers union bosses are trying to curry favor with those whom they have disappointed.
