In 21 years, the Good Samaritan Rehabilitation program based in Coeur d’Alene has helped about 4,000 men and women. But for Pastor Tim Remington of The Altar Church, who started the faith-based, nonprofit organization, it’s doing more than freeing people of drug and alcohol addictions. He said it’s giving them hope and a new direction in life.

Ashley Torgerson, a Lake City High grad, claims Idaho cornhole singles title
Ashley Torgerson has tended to get nervous at key moments in cornhole tournaments. Anxiety. Pressure. Tension. It's all there when she doesn't want it around. “I think I've seen myself as a little bit of a head case,” the Post Falls woman said. But at the Idaho State Cornhole Championships on Friday and Saturday in Nampa, Torgerson was focused and confident. She envisioned the throws she had to make, saw where the one-pound bag had to go and put it there.

Riverstone summer concerts go on without $180K shade covering
Sunshine. Blue water. Great music. Big crowd. All was perfect for the opening night of the Riverstone Summer Concert Series season opener on Thursday. But for one thing. And Ali Shute, executive director of The Coeur d’Alene Arts and Culture Alliance, wasted no time pointing it out after an introductory greeting. “What do you think of our new shade cover? It’s invisible,” she said with a smile as the crowd laughed. The much-awaited, eagerly anticipated overhead cover to protect musicians from the sun was hoped to be in place for the concert featuring Nu Jack City.

Parks director says city doesn't have extent of problem as Sandpoint
The Canada geese in Coeur d'Alene won't face being euthanized as the others in the extended gaggle were recently in Sandpoint. Bill Greenwood of the Parks Department said the birds' population in Coeur d'Alene is not as significant as it was in Sandpoint, which led USDA Wildlife Services to round up and euthanize an estimated 150 on June 23 under a statewide degradation permit in a plan approved by Mayor Shelby Rognstad.
