The loss of the young lady in the fire on Fifth Street on May 14th was a tragedy not only for the family but also for our community… My condolences go out to the family. Since that time, I have heard rumors and read comments on Facebook concerning fire department response and operations whic…

This woke rant will probably mean as much to you as it would have to the Idaho Constitution drafters back in that hot summer of 1889. I specify Article X Section 1:

It’s either a lack of grace or an abundance of gall but whatever it is it was certainly a successful piece of business.

I agree with Mark Reynolds about trash along our local highways. It’s disgusting. I used to think it was out-of-staters but over the years I have come to learn that a lot of it is from locals which just blows my mind. I assume these same locals would claim to love their state.

I have only had one occasion to file a complaint against a colleague with the Idaho State Board of Medicine. They rebuffed me with a dismissive, “This is a local standard of care issue, handle it in your community.” My community colleagues had no backbone to address the poor care. I left the…

Benewah County Residents: In the coming weeks and months there will be changes at the waste transfer station along with trying to control dumpster usage. As always, no wood, yard waste or metals should be put into the dumpsters. We hope to add cameras to help eliminate these issues. We are a…

Two separate headlines the same day says a lot about just how separated our leaders are from reality.

Two years ago I spoke at a school board meeting warning them that an encroaching agenda to propagandize our children is happening. The response was “No, not here”. I was free to search the school's books. I spent 3 days doing so, I found nothing openly offensive, but nothing that would encou…

There is no intention here to offend, but the fact is we’re getting down to the nut-cutting.

Our Attorney General is trying for a mulligan from his office in our House of The People down there in Boise. That’s what we get when we elect bullies. They shoot off their mouths, and then expect us to pay for it.

In the Board meeting on 4-10-23 it was stated that those who spoke to the Board may not speak about a specific person or persons, and that they must stay within the topic of their request to appear.

The wind out of the west was chill and biting on Dale’s face. He pulled the collar on his camo coat up. Patrol could be boring, but they’d gotten an alert about a grey van possibly heading their way.

Given that you used new money to buy this newspaper it seems unfair that we should re-hash old news.

As I sit here in my home in North Idaho, the red state that I love so much; in America, the country I fought for and worship with great reverence, I am in shock. The Marxist democrats are putting us in a state of decline that may be near impossible to recover from. Our communist leaders in W…

Isn’t it just ironic that President Trump’s greatest accomplishment in his four years of Presidency was something his followers considered folly? It’s a symptom that government has become farce. Theater performs farce. Comedians convey farce. Maybe only government can deliver farce. It shoul…

When a majority can pass a law that says broad and powerful things, then ignore those noble sentiments, everybody knows the deck is stacked. That’s how it goes. Everybody knows.

The scolds in the Democratic Party badger other people about their many faults with some frequency. You’ve heard it all: they’re bigots, they’re racists, they’re homophobes, they’re greedy, they’re stupid to own guns and it goes on and on.

It was always a question for me when the House would have the guts to actually kill the Medicaid budget. Every year it would sneak though by 5-10 votes. This year, they actually did it.

As the school bond levy vote is in process, consider these economic facts. Gov. Little just this year sent us two checks from the unprecedented budget surplus of $1.5 billion. He also called an emergency legislative session in which he, not the legislature, set aside a large dedicated fund f…

I am writing to ask St. Maries Joint School District voters to please vote YES for the Supplemental Levy that is on the ballot on March 14, 2023. The Supplemental Levy provides funds that are essential to the operation of our school district. This levy funds 22% of the entire budget for the …

I am struggling with a plumbing problem. No, it’s not my prostate, though you’d be forgiven for assuming such, given my age and decrepitude. It’s a 350# cast iron bathtub. I asked the plumbers if they could install it. They winced and asked if this summer would work. So, I cut the holes and …

I was astonished during the fire commissioner’s meeting on 2/14/23 when the fire commission chair completely disregarded our firefighters and the community. The public needs to be served better by the current committee chair. Her disregard for the community is evident in how she treated the …
