CDA: A quiet cheer for noise abatement

Kudos to the city of Coeur d’Alene for addressing the downtown noise problem. The new city ordinance will increase fines to $300 and give city police more grounds for policing noisy vehicles. Enforcement of the new noise (and speeding!) ordinance is critical, and it’s having immediate success! Having a greater police presence downtown is key.

TECH HUB: Getting liftoff from senators

Idaho is fortunate to have Senators Risch and Crapo representing us in the U.S. Senate. As our country faces unprecedented challenges, meeting market demands with local manufacturing growth is the best way to support Idaho jobs.

Seniors 'sell' Coeur d'Alene Charter Academy as clever class prank

Coeur d'Alene Charter Academy was for sale for $1 million this morning, much to the surprise of the faculty and staff. Principal Dan Nicklay didn't even see the "for sale" sign when he first pulled up to the school. "My first thought was, 'What the heck's that doing here?'" Nicklay said. Then he realized it was the 2024 senior prank, and all gasps of astonishment were replaced with chuckles and sighs of relief.

THE CHEAP SEATS with STEVE CAMERON: Maybe M's could learn from Padres acting quickly

Your offense struggles with a painful lack of rallies, and THAT happens because it’s tough to go through three hitters without reaching a strikeout. You need more guys who can put the ball in play. Arraez would have been the ideal candidate because he’s better at making contact than anyone in the game (batting average of .354 last season), but there are other decent hitters you can find who aren’t whiff machines.

Cannon blasts from the past as Civil War reenactors visit Lakes Middle School

You may have heard some explosions throughout the day if you live near Lakes Middle School Thursday, but rather than being a cause for alarm, they were cannon blasts from the past. For two days this week, Civil War reenactors from the Washington Civil War Association taught students about the technological advances to guns in the 1800s, field medicine practices and games and recreation of the time period. For two days, the group demonstrated different muskets, swords and sabers as well as the items used for relation in the 19th century. Lakes Middle School students grabbed toys at a Civil War station, including wooden guns, hoops and sticks and a pull of war knotted rope. “Those are loaded up with 100 percent lethal imagination,” reenactor Logan Creighton said of the wooden dueling pistols.
