A National Treasure resides among us

Readers, you have a man living among you who, I believe, deserves the title of a National Treasure. He is now 93 years young, still drives (safely), exercises by using his basement stairs for what I used to endure as "bleacher laps," has survived the "Bataan Death March" early in World War II and over 3 years as a prisoner of war by the Japanese in multiple labor camps (slave labor camps) and most of the time in Japan. He was at his last camp located a little over 30 miles from Nagasaki when the second atomic bomb was dropped that ended World War II. He has been a frequent guest speaker for all veteran groups and service organizations as a first-hand reminder of what really happened in the Pacific during those times from 1941 to 1945 and he loves to speak to younger men and women so they "do not forget." I just had the pleasure of sharing a birthday lunch for him at "Jimmy's Down the Street" in June (93rd birthday) and to share a vehicle with him near the front of the Fourth of July Parade this year. Following the parade I was asked to invite him to our beloved Marine Corps Ball on Nov. 10 (annually celebrates the establishment of the United States Marine Corps established by the Continental Congress on Nov. 10, 1775).

BOND: Taxes will increase

When you vote on 8-28-2012 for the school bond, don’t be fooled by what you are hearing. The levy rate will stay the same, but your school taxes will GO UP. Meaning your total school taxes can only go up because your property value and tax exemption has gone down. Meaning the school is getting less money from property taxes. It has to be made up somewhere.

MAILBOXES: Law says don't block

I would like to remind people that now that school is starting, it is against the law to block a mailbox. Under Idaho code, no person shall park a vehicle in front of a mailbox in a manner which would prevent the distribution of mail by the United States Postal Service. Postal carriers must be able to drive in and out of the delivery area without backing up.

THE TREASURE OF OUR HOUSE

INVEST: Beware the many scams

If it sounds too good to be true, IT IS ! Just a word of advice especially to the young folks out there (the older folks should know better). We have several friends, young and old, who invested in “penny auctions” who have now suffered some fairly large losses due to some fast talking salesman and some unfounded promises of wealth. For your protection, PLEASE don’t fall for these scams. I’d always thought that if a person wanted to be successful in life, you need to work hard and invest wisely and safeguard your own assets. There is no free ride!

Catharine Agnes (Robins) Luchini passed away Aug. 10, 2012, at age 90. Born to Catharine (Dwyer) and Clarence Robins on July 25, 1922, in Coeur d’Alene, Agnes was the second of ten children. She learned early on to be a big sister to her siblings and filled that role all of her days. She attended high school in Troy, Mont., where she graduated at the top of her class. She attended North Idaho Junior College before marrying the love of her life, Primo Luchini. They lived together in Harrison and Coeur d'Alene before settling in Post Falls for nearly 60 years. Together they raised two wonderful sons. Agnes worked for the post office and then for a bank for a number of years before retiring in the early ‘80s. Never fond of cooking, Agnes was very talented with a sewing machine and had an extremely annotated crossword puzzle dictionary. She was of a generation when family members were your closest friends, and over the years she enjoyed them on fishing trips, car trips, and family gatherings. Agnes was no nonsense and practical, frugal, yet generous. She loved her husband, kids, and grandkids as much as anything and was proud of them all.

MACKAY: Lessons worth missing

I don’t read Harvey Mackay’s articles very often. It seems he is a tenured professor of the University of Duh. But I caught his article (Sunday, Aug. 12), “Clear thinking is in critical condition.” It’s ironic that as his closing example he would use a tale of how to stiff a cab driver. Now I can’t wait to read his writing on business ethics!

IB: No small potato

I, as an incoming sophomore at Lake City High School, would like to voice my opinion on the International Baccalaureate program’s abjuration. The IB program should be kept in at least one high school in Coeur d’Alene and its adjoining cities. I went to a few protests with members of the community speaking in favor of this program; however, only people in favor of the IB program showed up and spoke. People against IB need to at least be informed on how their own body politic feels about the issue before revoking the opportunity for incoming students.

FAIR TAX: Answer to many problems

Fellow Americans, there’s been a proposal before Congress for more than a decade that would put America on track to a swift and permanent economic recovery. Congress won’t pass it unless we demand it. Its adoption would drastically reduce elected politicians’ power and control over U.S. citizens. It’s called the Fair Tax.

MAIL: Change rule and save

The U.S. Postal Service has the ability to stand on its own. It doesn’t use a dime of taxpayer money. Outside interference by Congress to impose an impossible mandate in 2006 to pre-fund future retirees’ health benefits at the rate of $5.5 billion a year for 10 years is a problem started by Congress and can be solved by Congress. This fund has already been overfunded by $42 billion.

NOISE: It was a fighter jet

There have been a couple of articles in The Press concerning the recent loud noise heard in the area on Wednesday. I live on Fourth Street in Dalton Gardens and can definitely say it was a fighter jet. I heard it coming and by the time I got outside it was pulling up heading west. It practically buzzed my house. All I could see was the tail end. It was a single engine jet, my best guess an F-16 Fighting Falcon. It continued due west, then about a minute later I saw two jets far off to the south heading east. Whether the one that buzzed me was one of those two I can’t say. Maybe there were three jets in the area. Probably some fighter jock violated some flight rules, but it was a thrill to see it pulling away. It’s good to know those guys are up there.

GOD: Would He allow suffering?

Occasionally it took a sip of nectar then remained on the stand. It blinked then looked at me, but made no attempt to flee. It sat there for a very long time so I went about my morning routine trying to forget about the bird. My thoughts were of sorrow for that tiny innocent creature. Hours later I noticed the baby hummer was back. It was swaying from side to side and I was sure it was dying.

TAXES: PF needs to slow down

It is well-known that Post Falls has the highest property taxes in this area. Over twice as high as Hayden’s taxes and even higher than Coeur d’Alene on an equal comparison. It is also known that Post Falls property values are continuing to drop (more than 10-15 percent in the last year and more than 50 percent since 2008) while in the last two years Hayden property values are trending upward. It is clearly more popular to live in an area with lower taxes. So as we see; we Post Falls residents get hit in the pocket every year with our high property taxes and get completely slammed when we want to sell our house or property.

OFFENDERS: Why stigma deserved

After reading JoAnn Lokken’s psycho-babble and God-speak about forgiveness, I would ask who in her sphere of influence has been a child molester. The stigma of sex offender should last the lifetime of the low-life involved. Tin cans should be tied to their tails and the initials CM (child molester) tattooed on their foreheads. JoAnn has it right when she states that there is no cure for pedophiles. JoAnn fails to mention the ruined lives of the victims throughout our country. All one has to do is pick up a newspaper or watch the national news to find statistics to illustrate any point of view. In conclusion I would challenge JoAnn to research and put forth a column about victims of the numerous sex offenders within our state.

As parents of former and current Winton students, we are asking for a yes vote on Aug. 28 for the Coeur d’Alene School District bond. Winton is in desperate need of remodeling/rebuilding. Built in 1928, it has seen many students walk through her halls. She is tired and in need of a face lift.

You are absolutely correct, we all have the right to not believe. it is a God-given right, those who believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior will spend eternity with Him. Those who do not believe will be separated from God forever. The government or any religion cannot choose for us; it is ours alone.

CARTOON: No laughing matter

I and many of my friends find the cartoon “Useful and Wasteful Spending” next to the Editorial on page A4 on July 27 reprehensible and disgustingly offensive.

Northwest Notes August 3, 2012

Reason and religion can co-exist

Although “coming out of the closet” normally requires a calculated risk for the one courageous enough to reveal their true identity, in America, it can hardly be seen as courageous, or a risk, since the closet door of atheism in this nation has been wide open, for decades.

GOP: Watch the leftist wing

Everyone knows the Kootenai Republican Party is hotly divided on key issues, local and national. But the leftist wing of the party has for some time leveled allegations of conspiracy and subversion at, of all groups, the local Constitution Party. To hear Ward and his socialist cohorts tell it, the Constitution Party of this county is the hidden hand behind all that transpires.

STORY: The put-upon atheist

Tuesday’s article about the mistreated atheists who are not going to take it anymore was a little over the top. During the past 100 years, atheists in Communist China, the old Soviet Union, North Korea and Cambodia collectively murdered 150 million of their own citizens — men, women and children — in the name of their godless beliefs. Elitists in the film industry, mass media and education permeate everything we hear, read and see with their atheistic views. It’s virtually impossible to find a college or university where Christians are not ridiculed by a cadre of elitist intellectual atheist professors and their GPA-hungry students. These facts soundly refute the atheist claim of victimhood.

It appears, Mr. Silva, that you are a strong victims’ rights advocate, and that’s a good thing, but you are merely just one of many who have taken up that righteous cause. What I question is your motive for the personal attack on me for wanting to start a very small support group for former sex offenders? Why would that bother you so much? As far as I know, there is no other support group for former sex offenders anywhere in this area, or even in the country. Why would this not be news deserving front-page coverage? And while some might condone vigilantism as long as it targets former S.O.s, it’s obvious that The Press is NOT aligned with that group. As a former law enforcement officer yourself, I would think you would be pleased with that — not dismayed.

ATTORNEY: City should do better

The latest promise from Mr. Gridley has me puzzled as to why the city powers that be continue to employ this person. This is just another example of his poor judgment and advice that has cost the city taxpayers unnecessarily. His history of poor decisions continues to reflect his lack of understanding of Idaho Code or basic law for that matter. Now, he’s promising to appeal the Dixon case to the US Supreme Court if rejected by the 9th District!

SCHOOLS: More perfect… union

On the subject of unions, this newspaper ran an editorial a few days ago painting Tom Luna and several Republican legislators as heroes of education for their efforts to discredit and dismantle the teachers union. There are really only two unions in this country that function in any way other than to represent average Americans in the work place. Those two unions involve entertainment and sports. All the other unions are about middle class America.

A summer full of French whites

We have frequently talked about how wine tastes change with the seasons, richer more full bodied wines appeal in the fall and winter, and generally speaking as the weather warms folks prefer lighter bodied reds and crisper whites. This summer has been really warm (we are not complaining!) we love summer and the warm days when the mild temperatures stretch into the evening. To go with this warm weather we have seen huge demand for dry roses and crisp white wines, and fortunately the weather has coincided with a great influx of lovely, light bodied, crisp and zippy French white wines.

Cornbread for a huge appetite

As the school year approaches, everyone is trying to cram in as much summer fun as possible in these last few weeks. The glorious mornings filled with no alarm clocks, sleeping in and breakfast in front of the television will soon be replaced with the mad morning dash of getting your kids out of bed, threatening to ground them if they don't eat breakfast and dropping them off at school just mere minutes before the tardy bell rings.

Chronic fatigue syndrome

Doctor of Oriental Medicine

A large faction of the population suffers from fatigue. They may have felt tired for quite a long time - chronically - but that is not what Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is. It is a medical diagnosis used to describe an amalgamation of symptoms where no definitive test has been established. It is generally associated with generalized muscle pain, exhaustion after minimal effort which can take hours or even days to recover from, flu-like feeling much of the time, and not just generalized tiredness, but extreme fatigue. Typically it is accompanied by headaches, disturbed sleep, food sensitivities, joint pain and irritable bowel.

ATLANTA - It sounds like an unfolding epidemic: A decade ago, virtually no one in the U.S. seemed to have a problem eating gluten in bread and other foods. Now, millions do.

SCHOOL: No more nightmare

I am the mother of two children who attend Winton Elementary, one going into 4th grade and the other into 1st. The staff at Winton provides a fantastic atmosphere for our children to learn and thrive in, but the surroundings in which the teachers work and our students are asked to learn needs desperate repairs. The school is 80-plus years old and has not seen any major renovations in over 30 years.

RESOURCES: Get creative and prosper

I appreciated the letter recently suggesting using the high school baseball fields for the Legion teams. Maybe ideas like that, with wise use of under-utilized resources by different governments, make too much sense. In this time of belt tightening this will have to be the norm instead of the exception.

Max does it!

He amazes me. He is so dedicated. He is so driven. Rain or shine he is out there exercising everyday. He also travels all over the world and no matter where he goes, he exercises. He is a baby boomer. He is amazingly busy in his professional life, but he never stops taking care of his health. I see him swimming and biking and he never wavers in his determination, even if he feels fatigued, he never stops. I have seen it and it is incredible.

A standby meal that satisfies everyone

Food for Thought

"What do you want for dinner," my wife asks, testing the water for my willingness to cook the evening meal. "I don't know; what do you want for dinner," I repeat as we begin the daily dance of deciding what to eat. "I don't care, how about you?" "I don't really care but I'm hungry." I don't care either but I'm hungry too." "You decide." "No, you decide."

Land lines not quite extinct

Last Friday morning my cell phone was completely uncharged right before I was to do a phone-in on the radio. So I texted Joe Paisley to call me on my land line for our weekend update segment. Joe LOL'd that my text message might as well have said "I'm riding my dinosaur," a reference to someone actually still having a land line.
