Good morning, Coeur d'Alene. Here's your local news at a glance for Saturday, the 30th of August.

COMMUNITY NEWS

  • Chrysalis clients painted and autographed a banner to thank local firefighters and presented it Friday to three Kootenai County Fire and Rescue members—an idea sparked by the June 29 Canfield Mountain fire and shootings that claimed Battalion Chiefs John Morrison and Frank Harwood and injured Fire engineer Dave Tysdal. The gesture showed strong community support as the fire crew expressed heartfelt appreciation for the tribute.  Coeur d'Alene Press

  • New data from the Idaho Department of Education shows that students held steady on the 2025 ISAT in math — English and science compared to last year. The report notes slight gains in advanced scores and improvements among groups like economically disadvantaged students.  Coeur d'Alene Press
