Prepare for the pooch

Two among October's awareness campaigns go together: Adopt a Shelter Dog Month and Emotional Wellness Month.

Plus pooch gets more attention and space than a four-by-two cell.My son has worked at Kootenai Humane Society for almost two years. In that time he's learned a lot not only about dogs, but also people. Adopting a dog should be a wonderful thing, but too often simple and preventable mistakes lead to unhappy situations and sadly, unnecessary returns or runaways.

Typically it is accompanied by headaches, disturbed sleep, food sensitivities, joint pain and irritable bowel.

WATERSHED: Why it's a huge deal

The Hauser Lake Watershed Coalition's recent annual Poker Run Fundraiser was highly successful, due in large part, because our local merchants donated close to $3,000 worth of raffle prizes. This demonstrates that these enlightened local businesses realize it is essential to support and protect Idaho's fragile water quality status. This is a "no brainer" considering that tourism is a $3 billion industry here in Idaho and total lodging tax collections for fiscal 2010 was $6.26 million dollars. Anything that takes away from that financial source greatly affects every aspect of this state's livelihood.

PEAK: Permit problems uncovered

I am writing regarding the article entitled "Peak Adventures complains about permit process." The article failed to mention the most important point in this debate, that the BLM changed course 180 degrees with respect to the Peak Adventures permit over the course of eight months. This change in position on the permit will put Peak out of business and cost the owners their life savings.

TAXES: No time to increase them

Don't you know, this is the worst time to raise taxes? It is unconscionable and does not help the economy. What about city employees keeping their wages status quo? People out of work, plus families on limited income have suffered as well as seniors who have not had a cost of living raise in two years. City employees should be happy to have a job with benefits.

Grind your own grain

Most of us have been buying commercially milled flour for as long as we can remember. It's just not something we think about much these days. I'd venture a guess that most school kids have only a foggy idea where the powdery white stuff in the pantry originated (before the supermarket). The real shame of buying flour from the store is that freshly milled flour is rich with flavor and nutrients that get stripped away during large-scale processing. It all started during the Industrial Revolution, when mass food storage and shipping became the rage. To this day, commercial milling removes the "germ" of the grain, which contains healthy and flavorful fatty acids, in order to extend the shelf life of flour. Soon after whole grains are milled, those wondrous oils start to spoil, whereas degerminated flour can technically last for years without going rancid. The secret that many of our grandmothers understood, however, is that storage isn't a concern when you make flour at home, and the payoffs from grinding your own grain are plenty.

MUSLIMS: When knowledge is bliss

Ignorance is defined as, "Not knowing or illiterate." In the Sept. 19 "Readers Write" section, Daniel Connacher gave a heartfelt and passionate appeal to the Christian community to pick a month of international mourning "and go to every Muslim mosque and soak the steps with tears and beg forgiveness for what was done to them from 1099 to the present." Jesus would agree with much of what Mr. Connacher said and Jesus would have disagreed with the crusades. Jesus said, "You have heard that it was said, love your neighbor and hate your enemy, but I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you might be sons of your Father in heaven." (Mt. 5:43-44)

TIMBERLAKE: Time to pull together

One thing I do agree with Sue Damon is that the news of the management agreement did come out kind of suddenly. But with the large turnouts, lots of audience questions, arguments and finger-pointing that was happening at all the meetings since February, I wouldn't want to second guess why or how they came to their decision. That's why they were elected. To make their best decisions for the district. They can't make everyone happy.

Look up Title 50 Chapter 17 of the Idaho Code for more information.

MINNICK: Guilty of spinning truth

The perils of taking single comments out of context came to the forefront recently when the White House/Dept. of Agriculture fired Shirley Sherrod for a comment played on a website, only to retract after they bothered to watch a few more minutes of the speech and realized her intent was opposite of the initial accusation. Another outrageous example of misusing a comment in a disingenuous manner can be seen in the new TV commercial by Walt Minnick about his congressional opponent Raul Labrador.

In typical mea culpa fashion Connacher begins his guilt trip with the Crusades; if he were this interested in history, he might have gone back a little further and wondered what Muslim armies were doing in Austria and Spain. You probably couldn't find any group of people in the world who haven't some time in their history done very bad things - for whatever cause.

MINNICK: TV ad is simply shameful

I have had several disagreements with Raul Labrador over the past four years with respect to legislation in the Idaho Legislature. Many of my comments toward him have reflected the passion I hold for fighting the terrible scourge of illegal immigration in our nation and in the great state of Idaho. I openly supported his challenger in the primary. While I have not spoken with Rep. Labrador in many months, if he were elected to Congress I would probably still disagree with some elements of how he would fight illegal immigration. I would certainly hope he considers some of my positions on the subject.

I did not wish to see this issue move forward and I sent an e-mail to each and every representative in our state house.

Sylvia Ragsdale, 65

Ragsdale, Sylvia, 65, of Spokane, left this life on Sept. 10, 2010, in Coeur d'Alene, to be with her Savior, Jesus Christ. Sylvia was born Jan. 10, 1945, in Buckley, Wash., to Goldie (Peterson) DeChand and Edlore DeChand. She was the seventh of their eight children and is survived by her younger sister Marla Langley. Sylvia put her trust in the Lord and led an active Christian life. She was a loving wife, mother, a patient grandmother and a caring friend. The memory of Sylvia is accentuated by the many hearts she touched through her generosity and kindness. She shared her smile and her time freely with family, friends, and acquaintances alike. Even when she was battling her own illness, her concern was for others. She ministered to those caring for her in her last days because she took her relationship with Jesus Christ seriously, even to the very end. It was His name that was on her lips as she neared her transition from this world to the next. Her body was failing, but her faith in Him grew stronger. We are all blessed to have known such a woman, may we continue her legacy of faithfulness in our own lives. Sylvia was a faithful wife to James Ragsdale of Spokane for 46 years. She is survived by her three children, son Jeff (Kim) Ragsdale, of Sioux Falls, S.D., daughter Kim (Eric) Mehringer of Coeur d'Alene, and son Greg (Tami) Ragsdale of New Baltimore, MI. Her nine surviving grandchildren are Keith (Heather) Heckman, Brittany Heckman, Hayley Mehringer, Kahryn Ragsdale, Slater Heckman, Kaylynn Ragsdale, Chloe Mehringer, and Grace and Lara Ragsdale. She was also the proud great-grandmother to newborn Ezekiel (son of Brittany and William). A celebration of Sylvia's life will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 25, 2010, at ONE* Spokane, 15601 E. 24th, Spokane Valley. Donations in her memory may be made to Hospice of North Idaho, 9493 N. Government Way, Hayden, 83835. Please sign Sylvia's online guestbook at www.hennesseyfuneralhomes.com. Arrangements have been entrusted to: Hennessey Valley Funeral Home, 1315 N. Pines Road, Spokane Valley, WA, 99206.

What can be done for itchy ears?

Ask your audiologist…

The ear canal is a warm moist environment perfect for growing fungus or infections. If your ears itch it is most likely due to dry skin or otitis externa. Otitis externa is an infection of the outer ear canal usually caused from swimming (same as swimmers ear). A drop of alcohol after swimming will help dry out the ear. If you are not a swimmer and have dry ears there is nothing wrong with putting a little lotion on a cotton swab or your fingertip and applying it to the outer ear (do not push anything down into the ear canal). If the itch is deep within the ear canal I recommend using audiologist's choice anti itch cream or just regular hydrocortisone cream. You can purchase this cream from most hearing professionals for about $10 a tube and it will last a long time.

"Wake up sleepy-head," I chuckle nudging the shoulder of the sleeping 6-year-old resting on the nurse's couch, "Your mom is here." I collect the backpack; sweater and school supplies sent to the office by the first-grader's frustrated teacher and walk the tired little girl to her waiting mom. "What time did she get to bed last night," I ask. Surprised at the 11 p.m. response I invite the parent into my office. Avoiding an unwanted lecture, I ask the mom if I can help? Acknowledging the need for control of her out of control life, the mom and I sit down and create the following list we title, "Things I need to do to help my child be successful in school."

What is your 'flutrition' IQ?

As flu and cold season encroaches, it's time to check your "flutrition" IQ.

There are many nutritious foods available that just might help your child spend less time home sick, and more time hitting the books. What you need to look for when you're grocery shopping are foods loaded with vitamins and minerals, including fresh fruits and vegetables.

Preserving your assets while qualifying for Medicaid

On Elder Care

As I noted in a previous column, approximately 50 percent of seniors have their nursing home care paid for by Medicaid. Unlike Medicare (which only pays for up to 100 days of nursing home care), Medicaid is not an entitlement program, and recipients are disqualified unless they can demonstrate income below a certain level and ownership of assets below a certain amount. However, the rules that apply to Medicaid assistance enable seniors to retain significant assets through careful planning. As an example, let us take the hypothetical case of John Smith.

The great de-bait

MaryJane's Everyday Organic

We've all heard the wisdom: Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, but teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. And if I could place a fishing pole into the capable hands of each and every one of you, you know I would. But the plain and simple truth is that many of you lack a babbling brook and, sadly, there are no rubber waders in your near future. You depend on local markets and fish shops to supply you with the fish you eat. And that can be a wonderful opportunity - or a no-man's land of misinformation.

More statistics for the numerically minded

A reader correctly bemoaned the fact that many of our outlying areas were not included in last week's report. When asked, "Why?," we had to pause.

Another reason is that there is a limit to the amount of space available to us in this paper, so not every statistic can be covered at once. Out of fairness and in the spirit of openness however, here is the rest of the story as of the end of August.

This country remains perched on the edge of disaster and all the Republicans can do is stand back and yell "Burn, Baby, Burn!"

When the commentator suggested the contradiction, the Republican said he was comparing Apples and Oranges. He saw no contradiction.

Chess is ancient history

Chess has developed a circular logic.A recent Press article about a local man's invention of a new, round chess board evokes a sense of irony. For a game requiring a linear strategy - anticipating an opponent's next several moves based upon your own - it's not entirely rational. The queen is the only piece which can move omnidirectionally, as if in a circle. She is the piece with the most power; she always was. That's amazing coming from a time when women, even queens, were easily dispensable.

TIME WARNER: Not the only game in town

My husband and I were surprised to find our Time Warner bill had jumped from $135.19 in August to $155.61 in September. We have broadband, phone service and digital cable (no premium channels). After a little research, I discovered we could save $44.23 per month by switching to VoIP.com for our phone and Direct TV for cable (that's $530 a year, includes free voicemail and more TV channels). I called Time Warner and told them I would be canceling everything but broadband. The agent asked if I would reconsider and put me on hold. After waiting no less than 10 minutes for the agent to talk to her superviser, they offered to reduce my bill by $20 a month. Not good enough, so I cancelled. I would switch broadband carriers gladly if there were another option, but hopefully Time Warner will get the message that when it comes to phone and television services, they are not the only game in town and need to be more competitive.

GAYS WED: Two theories can coexist

Regarding Ron Vieselmeyer's letter (Gays Wed: Support means rejecting God). Three things:

COUNTERFEIT: Don't punish the informant

Two groups of 50 people each settled their differences by putting black or white marbles in a pouch. After counting, the majority was the winner.

TRAFFIC: Engineer sounds like a 'she'

Regarding the My Turn column by Dennis Decker: I have also noticed these traffic problems and agree with Mr. Decker with just one exception. Mr. Decker referred to the designer of this traffic flow on Ramsey as "he." After reading through the column a couple of times, I am wondering if "she" might be the appropriate word. Some of these ideas seem to be more in line with the feminine mind.

PETS: Secure them in safety

An important opportunity to educate the public was missed in the article "Cool in a Crisis" about Makayla Gorden and her unfortunate vehicle accident where the family's dog was injured and had to be euthanized. Makayla wants to be a veterinarian and tried to comfort the dog after the accident and during the ride to the vet clinic.

FAIR: Prizes not worth effort

For several years I have entered my water color paintings in the professional division winning first place and people's choice.

CHARITY: Support local supporters

I was eating dinner at Texas Roadhouse recently when I ran into Dan Davis, the proprietor of the restaurant. I went to thank him for his support of all of my charitable endeavors, as I organize lots of fundraisers for various causes.

DRIVERS: You're not alone out there

The use of personal transportation for work and family necessity is without question required within the American infrastructure. However that need seems to have advanced from necessity to an entitlement or expectation.

LABRADOR: Compare him to the incumbent

Now that our Idaho summer appears over, we can and should turn our attention to the upcoming General election; there are only 52 days until election day, Nov. 2.
