EXCEL: Came through again for music program
Thank you to the Excel committee for your continued support of our music program in our community and here at Skyway Elementary!
OPINION: Rejecting racism and the status quo
Party of Lincoln must root out racism
MY TURN: Come together against the tide
An open invitation to serve on the side of light
OPINION: Idaho Republicans reclaim roots amid division
Precinct committee challengers understand role as workers, not representatives
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.”
FRACTURED: Should be required reading
I want to thank the Coeur d’Alene Press for recommending Uyless Black’s “Fractured” Vol. 1 and 2.
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.
MY TURN: Thoughts behind hateful actions
Why did racial harassment generate so much national media attention?
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.
MASTERSON: Save our rural lifestyle
For county commissioner this time around my support goes to my good friend Bat Masterson and he should be your choice as well.
OPINION: Group condemns extremist 'culture of permission'
Mayor Hammond honored; Idaho Freedom Foundation criticized
OPINION: Democrats disagree differently
Israel-Gaza issue shows how parties handle passionate debate
NATIONALISTS: Show us some proof
In your editorial Wednesday, you specifically stated that our county has become a base for “…white Christian Nationalists.”
OPINION: Trying to see world through clearer lenses
Focus is better when not wearing political spectacles
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.
