Comp plan article was not responsible journalism
The Herald's article on Aug. 16 on the comprehensive plan is an opinion piece, presented (partially) in the first person and using judgmental language, but presented by the paper as a news article. Also, there is no byline, which is a serious disservice to readers. As well, the article was written at least partly by its subject. None of this is responsible journalism.

Resident upset Herald did not announce rodeo & parade
I found that the cover of this weeks paper was a picture of the rodeo, front page. Why wasn't there any mention of the rodeo coming to Bonners? Or the parade for the rodeo, or at least mention the person that is on the front page. I am really tired of finding out about events after they happen. If you can take the time to walk by and get a picture, but no information on the person you are taking it of, do you think that you could take the time to help promote local events.

Children of war
While watching the evening news, it is easy to be overwhelmed by the continued chaos and violence in Iraq and the mideast in general. Death, destruction and the up rooting of families escalates with each passing day. It is easy to be sickened watching the carnage and havoc perpetrated on the innocent Iraqi people, American soldiers, and anyone else caught in the cross-hairs of the violence. It is difficult to imagine that we are stemming the tide of terrorism.
