Drive safely; have patience with road crews
The past three months have been a most interesting time in the life of the Bonner County Road Department. Mid-Ma...
A few thoughts on parades, protests and patriotism
Seeing the picture of all those upstanding citizens with assault rifles and assorted firearms, especially the one with the sunglasses, protecting all those poor vulnerable misguided young demonstrators just warms...
Fault-filled coronavirus models needs to be discarded

“Fourth festivities locked, loaded” read the headline in Sunday’s paper. Our nation is in crisis and the Daily Bee promulgates derisive language on the front page. I would think a better headline would have read ...
