The legislative debate goes on in Boise

All of community's athletes are as important as others

I am writing this letter in response to the April 1 letter from Gordon Allured. I should first explain that I am a supporter of athletics. I am very passionate about opportunities for our children in everything from PTO basketball to Boundary County Youth Rec Sports and on up to middle school and high school sports. I am the parent of past high school athletes. I want to be clear that I am not against athletics in Boundary County. I do, however, disagree with almost everything in Coach Allured’s letter.

GUEST OPINION: DAVE KRAMER - Reducing the chance of becoming a victim

Boundary County is considered a safe place to live overall but looking at the crimes committed by people in custody show that we are not immune to any type of criminal activity. You do not have to be paranoid, but it is wise to use common sense and realize that not everyone that lives, or visits Boundary County has your best interests at stake. What I mean by that: there are things that you can do to reduce the chance of being a victim, especially to thefts. The first part is the realization that “yes, I could be a victim” instead of the mindset that, “This is Boundary County and I don’t need to lock my doors or take the keys out of my vehicle, or think that no one would steal my stuff.”

Killer who killed UI students still at large

Police say the killer or killers who stabbed four University of Idaho students to death remains at large, and the violence has prompted many students to leave town. The Moscow Police Department said Tuesday that the attack was targeted and maintained there is no imminent risk to the community. But so many students have left campus that university officials said a candlelight vigil originally scheduled for Wednesday would instead be held after the Thanksgiving break. Police say a knife or sharp weapon was used in the attack on the students. Autopsies expected to be completed later this week could provide more information about how the victims were killed.

Spring in Yellowstone is a joy to behold

This year our spring vacation took my wife and I to the east entrance of Yellowstone, 53 miles west of Cody Wyoming to one of the most impressive national parks in the United States. After entering the east gate and traveling the 27 miles to Fishing Bridge we were impressed with the vast beauty of the park and the immenseness of Lake Yellowstone. The park has over 40 major waterfalls, approximately 300 active geysers and about 10,000 thermal features. The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is 1,500 to 4,000 feet wide and 1500 feet deep.
