I debated getting up at 3 in the morning to participate in the Coeur d'Alene welcome for "Good Morning America." But that thought gave way to reality as I was still up at 1 a.m. reading Robert Ludlow's "The Bourne Ultimatum." After a slow start,…
It has been bad enough for the three seasons the construction has been going on. There are actually businesses on that stretch of Government Way we try to patronize. One way traffic through ruts as deep as your bumpers was bad, the drop offs into…

At last check, I've now been awake for 30 straight hours, so you'll have to forgive the grammatical and spelling errors I'm certain to make. I'm about to head to bed, but I had to write first about an absolutely amazing morning in Coeur d'Alene.…
Item: Alaska Air imposes 10% surcharge on heterosexuals/Idaho Values AllianceMore Info: When an employee complained that this was “reverse discrimination,” since there is no “micro-website” for heterosexuals (or for Blacks or Hispanics for that matter), the employee was informed essentially that moral values don’t matter…
We spent a day and a half hunting in the Benewah County woods. I was decked out in blaze orange because, as the man said, it's a war zone in the woods during hunting season. That's how it sounded. Gunshots and four wheelers firing off…
There will be no toys this Christmas! No, I haven't become the toy-hating Burgermeister Meisterburger. I have decided that we will not be buying toys for our kids this Christmas. This has nothing to do with all those recalled Chinese toys of recent months. The…

Joan Harman: Don't see your column in its usual place at the S-R any more. That is on the front page of the Northwest. Only when I go blogging am I likely to swing by for a visit. Best talk to Smith about at least…

The funniest variation had Price becoming head coach and Doba agreeing to serve again as defensive coordinator, as he did for nine years before his big break. Because, you know, orchestra conductors who get fired always want to hang around to play second violin. The…

But once the swtch was flipped, the excitement of the moment dwindled. There was a noticable delay between the switch flip and the lights turning on. The parade was just odd. Santa's horse drawn carrage, LCHS marching band, red hot mamas, antique fire truck, CHS…
