OPINION: Party on — Gem State heist

Last week I wrote about the need for political parties because they bring stability to our Republican form of government and how that stability is under threat from the Uniparty.

MY TURN: Our local jewel within our gem of a state

As I returned to Coeur d’Alene in August 2018 to retire, I realized that my life was taking a new turn. One year later a friend asked me, “How do you like retirement?” I pondered briefly, responding, “it is weird…good weird, yet a little weird.”

Ice, de-ice, baby!

One of the many perks of North Idaho is the four defined seasons we get to experience every year. Spring brings us flowers and sunshine, summer brings us long days full of adventure, in fall we watch the leaves change, and in winter we enjoy a multitude of snow sports. The challenges of winter, though, include walking and driving conditions.

COLUMN: The bully strikes again

In his latest column (https://cdapress.com/news/2024/mar/22/opinion-party-on-gem-state-heist/) Brent Regan chooses to do what most bullies do. When they are outsmarted or can’t admit to facts, they lash out with lies and name calling.

ADVERTISING: Advertorial — World class

We just held a tasting here at the shop with DuMol Winery from the Russian River Valley of Sonoma County. For regular readers of this column, you know our fondness for wines from “The Russian” after our time living in Sonoma County and more specifically my time at Balletto Vineyards. To us it is one of the most magical appellations of any wine region in the world, perfectly suited for the varietals that are planted there. Mary and I always get the question of what our favorite wine is, which of course is unanswerable, but digging a bit deeper on the wines we truly love we would place DuMol in our top 3 favorites from anywhere, to us the wines are that good.

OPINION: The extremist branch of Idaho’s GOP is producing a moving experience

Many people have literally been moved by the ugly performance of Idaho’s Republican extremists in recent years. That is, significant numbers of teachers, librarians, doctors and others have moved out of the Gem State to escape the false claims and oppressive legislation conjured by the dysfunctional branch of Idaho’s GOP, now presided over by Dorothy Moon. On the other hand, that same wretched conduct has caused like-minded folk from across the country to move to our state, attracted by headlines that portray Idaho as a sanctuary for political zealots of every stripe.

OPINION: Idaho’s County Clerks are not mere clerks; let’s give them our respect

We sometimes hear Idaho’s County Clerks spoken of dismissively as mere clerks– low-level functionaries just there to carry out the orders of county commissioners. Those dismissive individuals might be surprised to learn that elected clerks are the heart and soul of most counties in the Gem State. Idaho law says they serve as clerk of the courts in their county, as well as ex officio auditor, recorder and county commission clerk.
