  • The Village Bakery at Hayden Super 1 Shopping Center has been operating for four years and offers hands-on training and meaningful employment for a mostly special needs workforce — a program that has helped many find a sense of belonging.

  • General Manager Jeff Messinger led a weekend fund drive at Black Rock Marina and Shooters Bar and Grill to support families of firefighters hurt on June 29 at Canfield Mountain—raising $27,000 through a fill the boot campaign with help from Worley Fire District Chief Scott Campos. A makeshift auction at the event added another $150,000—donations that will go to the Red and Blue and JW Memorial Foundations.  Coeur d'Alene Press

CRIME NEWS

GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • Rep. Jordan Redman from Coeur d'Alene, who owns Medicine Man Prairie Pharmacy in Hayden, told lawmakers he had a conflict of interest when he sponsored a bill to let pharmacies sell ivermectin over the counter—he received many emails from people in rural areas needing easier access.
