We must close door on destructive crop diseases
Idaho leads the nation in potato production, producing far more potatoes than are consumed in the state.
A better race would be Trump, Clinton
President Joe Biden’s health is clearly failing. There’s no way he can serve another four years. That’s why we have the 25th Amendment, but if it were invoked Kamala Harris would become the POTUS. God help us. Mean…
Shame on person who took Little Free Library books
I have a Little Free Library packed with kids' books for my neighborhood friends. I cannot believe that someone came and stole at least 30 books leaving the entire bottom shelf empty.
Public libraries are for the public
To those who wish to censor books at the library: You have the right to raise your children however you choose, even if it's misguided. You can bring them up in the religion you choose, monitor their consumption…
Camp Bay lake access must be timely
Thank you for continuing to report on the important ongoing Camp Bay issue. Though we don’t often acknowledge it, we are all very fortunate to still have a local press in our community.
Climate crisis lies only fool the gullible
A recent letter writer said, “A person can think ‘rationally and logically’ and still be completely wrong.” This is a false statement because if one uses correct reason and correct logic it is impossible to be wron…
Voters have a right to choose their party
I am writing in response to a letter (Daily Bee, June 9). Some seem to believe that in order to know something, one must have been there. A quick search of the Roosevelt campaign theme of 1932 on the internet has m…

In the recent county assessment notice the assessor said that from 2020 to 2024 the county’s private property value went up by, times two
RINO, RIP: It's time to end the name-calling
I first registered Republican to support former state senator Shawn Keough. I liked more (not all) of her values better than her Tea Party challenger's. Some called me a hypocrite – a RINO (Republican in Name Only.)
Voters exercised their legal right to select party
I saw a letter about a list of 278 Democrats-turned-Republicans, and I wanted to set the record straight. Let’s look at the race between Jim Woodward and Scott Herndon.
Why is library board ignoring public's concerns?
In the months following the passing of Idaho House Bill 710 — which requires Idaho public and school libraries to move materials deemed harmful to children or face lawsuits — our own East Bonner Library board conti…
Bonner County's new waste system stinks
I have lived in Bonner County for 28 years. I have visited the transfer garbage station off Colburn Culver Road for all of those years. My last trips to the dump have gotten increasingly worse. Before the “new chan…
Before calling names, look in the mirror
If you read the letter you know what she said, and she has the right I suppose to her opinion. But the final comments are that Democrats are liars and cheats? First, where does she get her figures about exactly 278…
'Party changers' deserve congratulations, not castigation
The searing letter from Ms. Fahrig (Daily Bee, June 9) put a smile on my face. Our own family of four voters changed our party affiliation after meeting and hearing a Democratic candidate, Paulette Jordan, and real…
The construction of the travesty at Travers Park
I am appalled by the monstrosity allowed to be constructed at Travers Park! The people responsible for the ugly warehouse that has taken away the playground for the kiddos, a safe field to watch baseball games and …
