BORAH: Not just a matter of numbers
I have four kids in the Coeur d’Alene School District. Two of them are at Borah Elementary, the school on the chopping block. We are deeply saddened that the school might close. This would be a huge loss to the stu…
SAFETY: Stop these illegal turns
I am writing this letter for the benefit of the entire community. For about 15 years now the people running the Lakes Highway District have ignored the welfare of the public by bowing to political pressure from bus…
NIR: What do they stand for?
Jack Riggs, M.D.’s opinion piece from April 26 left me wondering whether any of the North Idaho Republicans have ever criticized the policies and ideology of the Democrat Party. Also, I have read opinions from Mich…
COLUMNIST: Pot, meet kettle
Babette Banducci’s My Turn column of April 27 is another excellent example of KCRCC and Brent Regan sycophants intentionally spreading misinformation and exposing their blatant hypocrisy.
OWL CAFE: A treasure, not a travesty
This is in response to Ron Dayton’s ridiculous letter regarding the OWL CAFÉ. You obviously do not know the Owl Café was a gathering place for friends and families from the time it started until it closed. Could it…

The dysfunctional North Idaho College board is poised to provide millions of dollars for athletic scholarships for out of town and/or foreign athletes. Insane.
SHERIFF: Norris doing superb job
Sheriff Norris has done so much for our community. It saddens me that people overlook the many achievements he has done during his tenure.
OWL CAFE: Don’t erase local history
This letter is in regard to Ron Dayton’s letter to The Press about demolishing the Owl Café.
HATE: Press, others perpetuate it
You asked for thoughts … I think Coeur d’Alene Press has an unhealthy fixation on the Aryans. Give it a rest, it’s been decades now. It seems to be Coeur d’Alene’s claim to fame.
PUBLICATION: Pen leaves ink stains
Just received a copy of The People’s Pen, an interesting paper supported by the KCRCC and far right cartoonists and writers. However, it never says who writes the opinion pieces other than saying it’s backed and pu…
MASTERSON: Deep roots in community
Yes the competition for Dist. 1 commissioner is keen this year. But there is one shining star in that race and that is Bat Masterson.
DARAKJY: For GOP central committee
Vote for Damon Darakjy, Precinct 522 Committeeman! With 30 years of military experience, work under Idaho Republican governors, and as a student body vice president at the University of Idaho, Damon Darakjy is the …
ELECTION: Back the Blue
We have a primary election May 21 where four key races will have a direct effect on the immediate future of whether or not the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office and Prosecuting Attorney’s Office keep pace with the g…
NIC: Accreditors raise suspicions
NWCCU, the accrediting agency for North Idaho College, is a DEI supporting and embedded organization. Just look at their website.
PROTESTS: Something to think about, kids
After reading about the recent shutdown of various roadways and bridges around the Bay Area by domestic economic terrorists, and the attacks on innocent rental car visitors to Oakland Airport, I cannot say I’m surp…
