MY TURN: The good old days

I was shopping in a local store a couple of weeks ago when I overheard two women talking about how they wish we could go back to “the good old days” when things were so much better.

THE CHEAP SEATS with STEVE CAMERON: Take it from 'Seaside Joe' as well — Howell is the guy

MEANTIME, all the hoopla about Geno being the top dog brings up an interesting wrinkle. Might Howell have the best shot at taking the permanent QB job because he’s starting at No. 2?

OPINION: Multiplication of division

America is divided. Ask most anyone and they would likely agree. However, you may not get consensus on the reason for the division, or where the fracture actually lays. It is as if we have a general feeling of division but among your known circle of friends and acquaintances, specific boundaries of disagreement become blurred.

I want to give a big shout out to all the athletic coaches that volunteer so much of their time for the children in our community. These dedicated people generously give their time, energy and expertise to mentor and guide our youth athletes. Not only are they teaching them sports, but they are teaching them lifelong values of teamwork, discipline and resilience during challenging moments.

CIVIL WAR: Rhetoric is dangerous

Memorial Day; a time to honor and remember our fallen veterans. They were our fathers, sons, husbands, brothers and in many cases, mothers, daughters sisters and wives. Families were broken, hundreds of thousands were wounded and live a life of pain and disability. Not something you would wish on a loved one.

PRIDE: No rights were infringed upon

One of the main reasons that I subscribe to the Coeur d’Alene Press is that it has the liveliest letters section of any of the five newspapers I subscribe to. Wednesday, June 5 did not disappoint. In particular, The Press devoted an entire extra page of letters expressing dismay about an article “Coeur d’Alene Celebrates Pride Month” that appeared a few days earlier.

PRIDE: God created the joyous complexity of life

I was happy I could have a booth at the Pride in the Park event last Saturday. It was a fun and festive event. I am disappointed, but not surprised, at the number of negative letters to the editor this event engendered.

PRIDE: Biblical love is unconditional

Authors of recent LTEs expressing outrage about members of this community who support the Coeur d’Alene Pride event were apparently encouraged to do so by Paul Van Noy of Candlelight Fellowship. The Coeur d’Alene Press has done a great service to the community by publishing these LTEs because they demonstrate important tendencies in our community; ignorance and hate exist, and we need to work on this together.
