Comfort food for the holiday season

Food for Thought

'Tis the season to be jolly, or so they say. I don't believe I have ever been jolly but I do love the holiday season. Crisp mountain air, the smell of firewood warming cold houses, college football and turkey noodle soup made from Thanksgiving leftovers warm my soul. I'll relinquish jolly for comfort. Jolly seems exuberant and unattainable but I can wrap my mind around comfort.

It is no wonder that as we approach the holiday season we find ourselves coping with much more and struggling to maintain our health. Even if we enjoy every aspect of the holidays we are still coordinating more family get-togethers, meal planning, worrying if those meals are working against you and your fitness routine, finding gifts, staying warm... the list could go on!

Ch-ch-ch-chia, watch me grow!

Let's take a walk down memory lane back to 1983. A time when MC Hammer pants were in, hair was big and the shoulder pads were even bigger. But let's not forget about the beginning of the animal-shaped terracotta figurines used to sprout "chia" to resemble the animals fur or hair. Little did we know at this time that these green "furry" little friends were packed full of beneficial nutrients, all contained in the black, brown and white speckled seeds.

Ring in the season without the rage

When we had our first sticking snow a week or two ago I was pleasantly surprised at how cautious and courteous everyone was while getting acclimated to driving in snow on slick roads. And the week of Thanksgiving, while there was much hustle and bustle and traffic to be found in our communities, the driving public was patient and polite. I didn't shop any part of Black Thursday night or Friday and was busy socializing, so no Small Business Saturday shopping either (note: I subscribe to the philosophy of shopping local all year long!) So Sunday afternoon was my first foray into stores in Post Falls and Coeur d'Alene for a few gift items and Christmas decor. All was well until I was heading home on Appleway. A car pulled wide into the turn lane and I honked as it came into my lane, slowing down so the car could get ahead of me. The driver goes into the lane beside me as we come to a stop light. He rolls down his window, trying to get my attention so he could unleash verbal and visual gestures. This middle-aged man seemed to have taken all leave of his senses while his companion, looking mortified, pretended to be elsewhere. I waved him off, locked my doors and hoped the light would change before he did something really crazy. It did but it still left me shaking my head at the level of stress some folks are feeling these days. Take a deep breath and enjoy the season.

Trickle down? Let's get real, folks

Patrick Henry said, "If this be treason, then make the most of it." This column will be treason to all the believers in trickle down economics and the idea that putting more money in the pockets of the already wealthy will create new jobs. If you have any business sense at all you already know that jobs are only created when the company or investors see a demand for a product that will bring a profit to the job creators.As an example, let me give an illustration from my family's bowling alleys. On Sunday nights we had 12 lanes booked with a league. No matter how much we took in as profit we wouldn't hire another lane runner or pin boy until we had a league on the remaining 12. If you choose to devote funds to charity, and overstaffing a business is a charity, there are easier ways to go about it and you can get a tax write off rather than paying more in taxes.

Those who have answered the call of duty, whether conscripted or not, know the value of freedom and the sacrifices that have to be made to sustain our way of life.

Giving, accepting thanks

Food for Thought

I remember waking up at five o'clock on Christmas morning as a 4-year-old excited to see if I made Santa's good list. Still wearing slipper-socks and pajamas unwrapped the night before; I quietly peek from my bedroom door to see my sister sitting under our Christmas tree. Waking earlier than I, she plugs in the tree lights and stares at the multicolored glass bulbs sparkling on the tree. I quietly sit next to her and am memorized by the twinkle of the glass bulbs that redirect their light to the shiny paper and ribbon under the evergreen. We look at each other and smile. For this memory, I am thankful.

My answer is always simple - whole foods. Real food, like naturally raised meats, vegetables grown in quality soil, without chemical pesticides and herbicides, fresh fruit. You know the kind that actually nourishes your body, not just fills your belly. Food has become a social event on one hand, and something to get done quickly and get out of your way so you can attend to "more important things" on the other hand.

The conclusion of the Southwestern University Medical School research is that the future of healing illnesses and diseases that are now considered to be incurable may very well lie in finding a way to heal cellular memory.

The name will change to Rhonda/Wanda JoAnne Miller. The reason for the change in name is: Birth Certificate is in name Wanda yet known as name is Rhonda due to parents, both names to be combined. A hearing on the petition is scheduled for 9:30 o'clock a.m. on December 5, 2011 at the Kootenai County Courthouse. Objections may be filed by any person who can show the court a good reason against the name change. Date: October 19th, 2011 CLIFFORD T. HAYES CLERK OF THE DISTRICT COURT By: Janlyn K.

PARTISAN: Election was all about park

Now the City Council and mayor are telling us why they lost their elections. Where were your Democrat supporters when you needed them? Ron Edinger campaigned as a Democrat on his record down at City Hall. Ron Edinger "took a public stand" on McEuen Field and made his opinions known. Kennedy, Woody, Bruning and Goodlander said at the City Council open public meeting in March that they were voting yes, even if they were defeated in their next election. That was their stand, it's on the record.

McEUEN: Three strikes on column

Deanna Goodlander's My Turn column regarding the McEuen Field development project leaves out three important points:

LIQUOR: Legal moderation?

The pros and cons will always be debated on state run liquor stores and portions of the article in the Sunday Coeur d'Alene Press were very amusing, especially Jeff Anderson's comments. Does logic rule at the Idaho State Liquor Division? The state constitution mandates the prevention of excessive drinking. Is the state doing anything to prevent it? I don't think so and it is even supported by Jeff Anderson. He doesn't even know if the state is doing a good job at regulating liquor consumption - since he thinks the state is doing a good job. 

McEUEN: Message not getting through

The three incumbents on the City Council were defeated by huge numbers. Thousands of votes. Congratulations are in order. Adams, Gookin and Edinger should be congratulated for their support to hold a public vote on the McEuen Park issue.

STAR: None brighter than Vaughn

Thank you for your story on Glenn Vaughn, a bright star of volunteerism in Idaho. Glenn is Coeur d'Alene's treasure and we're lucky to have such a man in our community. Who returns to college for a master's degree in counseling just for the opportunity to help his neighbors as a volunteer after his day job? I was speechless when he told me this a decade ago.

LAWSUIT: Hard to mess up more

In a recent letter about the redistricting challenge, I suggested that hitching Kootenai County's strong claim to Twin Falls' weak lawsuit led by Twin Falls prosecutor Grant Loebs would be like storming the beach at Normandy with a BB gun. Sadly, now that Kootenai County has joined their suit, I realize that it is more like storming the beach with BB guns wielded by boys who don't know what end of the gun the BBs come out of. Kootenai County, led by our prosecutor Barry McHugh, has asked the Supreme Court to replace the existing legislative district map with one that has Rep. Bob Nonini representing the hills north of Hayden Lake instead of Rathdrum, and Sen. Steve Vick and Rep. Vito Barbieri running in the Democrat stronghold of Coeur d'Alene, instead of their current north Kootenai County area.

THEFT: Justice doesn't add up

The Coeur d'Alene Press recently reported that a retired Deputy County Clerk stole $139,000 from taxpayer funds and was sentenced to 90 days in jail with restitution of only $49,000. A few days later The Press reported on Nov. 3 that a 20-year-old man was sentenced for petit theft. He had to pay $249 in restitution, which is probably the full amount of his theft, but he was also sentenced to a year in jail with 175 days of that suspended. That means he will serve 190 days in jail. Was that a misprint?

RESPECT 'NO': Same standards for all

Celebrate Idaho Nonprofit Week Guest Opinion By RUTH PRATT Special to The Press

Can you guess which sector of the Idaho economy the list below describes?

RIGHTS: They're being run over

Regarding the article on "Right of way right" in the Nov. 5 Press, I was not contacted at all by anyone except my neighbors. My understanding is that there would be no recompense to landowners for the area because Old 95 was a highway, and as such would entitle the county to access that additional area.

COUNTY: Just say no to administrator

Kootenai County don't need no dag-gone administrator!

FLAG: Doing right isn't always easy

Sunday I drove down Government Way in Hayden and saw that a flag that was posted on a light post for Veterans Day had broken and was flying upside down. My children asked if that was proper as I was recently medically retired due to combat injuries as a Staff Sergeant in the United States Army, Airborne Cavalry. I explained proper flag etiquette and assured them that it would be fixed before day's end.

VETERANS: The times are changing

To the restaurants and businesses that reached out to us veterans on Veterans Day, thank you for showing your appreciation.

VETERANS: Thanks for remembering us

A load of thanks to the restaurants and others that remembered us vets on Veterans Day. It was nice to feel remembered. I felt a sense of warm companionship I haven't felt in a long time. Thanks again fellow Americans.

McEUEN: Time for a last resort

It seems the mayor of Coeur d'Alene does not consider that the recent election was a referendum on McEuen. She intends to continue onward with plans to spend $39-plus million without consulting her constituents through a referendum.

POWER: Feeling over-regulated?

Recently a section of ObamaCare was deemed not workable by Secretary Sebelius: The Class Act. Most people don't know but Sec Sebelius has unbelievable powers to enact provisions of ObamaCare: There are more than 2,500 references to the secretary of HHS in the health-care law (in most cases she's simply mentioned as "the Secretary"). A further breakdown finds that there are more than 700 instances in which the Secretary is instructed that she "shall" do something, and more than 20 cases in which she "may" take some form of regulatory action if she chooses. On 139 occasions, the law mentions decisions that the "Secretary determines." Our health care and lives are in the hands of Secretary Sebelius!

I couldn't help but notice that Panhandle State Bank has brought suit against our beloved Mayor Bloem. Maybe she could use LCDC to fund her out of the problem. After all, isn't LCDC her personal choice for funding all of her pet projects?

Thurman D. Moore, 86

Thurman D. Moore, of Coeur d'Alene, passed away Monday, Nov. 7, 2011. He was born June 3, 1925, in Wheeler County, Texas, to Ben and Ethel Moore.

EPA: Reel in a little realism

Serena Carlson certainly hit the nail on the head in her short letter about the EPA speaking at the Magnet School. It seems that more often than not these federal organizations are given free access to young minds in which they will grow up believing that the EPA can do no wrong. I agree with her assessment. 

SPEED: It's going to kill someone here

I live in the area of Silverwood Theme Park and I am at a loss as to why the speed limit is still 65 mph considering all the Highway 95 construction up this way. Usually in the Coeur d'Alene area, the speed limit is way too slow for the amount of work being done during construction. In this case it is way too excessive.

PROGRESS: Halted in Cd'A on Tuesday

TREATS: Religion can be tasty

My letter is in response to Jackie Katz's Halloween article. When I read this last Sunday, I said to my husband, "she's talking about me." Yes, I did make up baggies filled with balloons, crayons, scratch paper, a stencil, candy and of course the pamphlet explaining how anyone can have a personal relationship with the Creator of the Universe. I apologize if I stepped on anyone's toes, I'm just trying to get the message out that the time is definitely later than we think!

DEBRIS: It's headed our way

With the upcoming presidential election, people are asking the candidates what they would do about jobs, the economy and the environment. No one is asking the question about the looming disaster floating in the Pacific.

MCEUEN: Election clarified opinion

Without question it came out loud and clear in the vote: The people who pay taxes in Coeur d'Alene and others do not want to spend their dollars, $40 to 50 million, on a remake of McEuen Field that would take away the usefulness to the public of baseball and boating.

McEUEN: A chance to rethink stance

I read in the paper that our mayor said the voting won't sway her. Well, Ms. mayor, I think if you want to be re-elected, you better think about it first. The people want the park to stay as is. Don't you understand? I really think the public should be able to vote on this.

Awakening Remarks

On a fall day in 2002, my childhood friend, Brendan Butler was left dead along a rural road in Kootenai County, strangled to death, and throat slit for good measure. It is still hard for me to envision Brendan as a drug dealer, because most of the images I have in my head of him are of snowball fights and sledding at his parents' home in Hayden, or debating the coolest cars and trucks with him. But I have no illusions: Pot killed Brendan.

Some of these are vets, brothers, sisters, mothers' children.

MEDIA: No friends of Grand Old Party

Has the news media declared war on the Republican Party? It wouldn't be the first time. Remember when the Speaker of the House made a "Contract with America" and the voters nationwide said yes! The Speaker made too much sense and the spenders in Washington, D.C., said "Get rid of him." And the news media set out to do just that and in short order they did it. Not with the way he ran the house but for something that made no difference to the way he ran the house.

DOE: Dollars vanish into the sun

Why is the Department of Energy allowed to spend our tax dollars on wasted projects? The president and DOE were warned that their investment in Solyndra ($535 million) was not a good investment before the loan was made. Then we find that more DOE loans have been made. Beacon Power was loaned $43 million and now is bankrupt, Mesquite Solar $337 million and now is bankrupt. And the most recent loan of $737 million has gone to Tonopah Solar Co. Did I forget to mention that the executive director of Tonopah Solar Co. is Ron Pelosi, the brother of Nancy Pelosi's husband?

AVISTA: A lost opportunity

A year and a half ago Avista replaced a 40-year-old pole in front of my home. After six months I started bugging them to remove the old pole. Well, Frontier phone company had a wire on it, so Avista couldn't take it out. After a year Frontier removed their wire. Three months of waiting, Avista came on Nov. 27, 2010, and removed the pole. All this time I had a sign on the pole that I wanted the pole for firewood. They took the pole. Real nice!

POLICE: Citizen has lost faith

In August, three dogs chased me down the street as I was riding my bike. I chased them off but not before the owner called the police to report I was trying to harm her dogs. I never touched them nor committed any offense. When the police arrived at my house they questioned me and finally asked me who the child was playing in my garage. I told them "That's none of your business, is it?" That's when the abuse began.

Now, you might ask why a chiropractor is writing about hunting. Although I am a strong believer of the paleo diet, I myself am no hunter. However, a great deal of my patients are avid outdoorsmen and women, and many have a hunting story or two. Hunters, you need to get your spines checked!

Last week in 'Gems,' we featured the all-time Coeur d'Alene monthly snowfall records for the past 117 years dating back to 1895. Each season ends officially on June 30.

Coeur d'Alene's award-winning snow removal program

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it's going to snow and soon! Well, relatively soon. But it won't be long before we need to find our snow shovels and service the snow blower. In a typical winter, there are 7 to 10 good snowstorms. Each one takes a couple of days to fully "mop up." That's about 20 snow days to weather. As renowned local climatologist Cliff Harris will tell us, we are in a "La Nina" dominated weather pattern (below-to-normal temperatures/above-to-normal precipitation). With large pattern mood and weather swings, we as citizens should be prepared for anything to happen on any given day.

URDs: Errors and falsehoods

The purpose of my monthly columns on urban renewal is to provide answers to misunderstandings and to provoke public comments on the issue. Based on my latest column it certainly seems to be working. 

TURKEY: Getting under my skin

I confuse easily and at times I feel ignorant. The caption for the picture of the sage roasted turkey on Food and Health section Wednesday is not helping. It reads in part "This turkey recipe uses minced sage to softened butter, which then is rubbed both UNDER and over the bird's skin" (emphasis added). Can someone tell me how to get under the bird's skin to rub on the butter?

HOSPICE: Eased family's experience

Thanks to Sholeh Patrick for her kind words about Hospice of North Idaho in her column of Nov. 1. My wife, at 87 years, was under their care during her final weeks. Words cannot express what that, and their follow-up after her death in March, meant to me and our sons and daughters. 

WORDS: Getting all facts correct

The Oct. 29 letter to the editor regarding Squaw Bay and the canyon west of Rosalia with the s-word names was not entirely true. As its writer, I must apologize for not stating the facts correctly. 

SENTENCE: I'd like one too, please

Sign me up! After reading the sentence Judge Fred Gibler imposed on Sandra Martinson for STEALING $140,000 of my tax dollars, I would like to offer my services to the county. I already have a job but I'm willing to take a leave of absence for three months if I can earn an extra $91,000. This amount is more than two years of my current pay - and no commuting expenses! And, I will be remorseful as well - after all, $91,000 is worth 90 days in county jail and the offering up of a little remorse. 

TRAGEDY: Was this an accident?

My letter is in response to Mr. Valoff (last Sunday Readers Write article) and all the other "Armchair Quarterbacks" quick to judge with little or no information of the circumstance in question.

HALLOWEEN: Keep religion out of it

I would like to thank all of the residents who stayed by their doors and gave out candy to all the trick or treaters Monday night. I appreciate them staying up late and I realize that it can be a financial burden to buy all the candy especially in our economy.

COLD CASE: For boy's sake, think

Our family will NOT give up even though it has been 27 years, and no answers! That was the day my nephew Ryan Gregory Hoeffliger died.
