I am also a retired senior as she, living on a limited income so I could feel her panic and heart crushing dread when she realized she had lost her wallet. I also could relate to her joy of receiving the returned wallet completely intact with her personal information, $230 rent money and even the Super 1 breakfast drink coupon. I'll bet that was the best tasting morning drink she has enjoyed in a long time.

Most of us spend the majority of our time everyday in a forward flexed position. We hunch over our cars' steering wheel, computer or just washing the dishes. This forward flexed position leads to poor posture and a weak, inefficient core.

The core is a complex group of muscles but the core is pretty easy to train with a little bit of instruction and understanding.

Can aspirin stop cancer's spread?
If aspirin's health benefits were limited to reducing inflammation, alleviating pain, and promoting heart health, it would be quite enough. However, researchers are continuing to find new ways that this common drug improves health and combats disease. The latest findings provide an answer to how aspirin and other anti-inflammatory drugs are able to help inhibit the spread of cancer. New research shows that aspirin's cancer-inhibiting effect may be traced to its ability to shut down the chemical "highways" that feed cancer cells. It seems that aspirin is able to reduce the dilation of vessels that feed tumors throughout the body. Once these "supply lines" are restricted, cancer growth slows. Once more, aspirin proves itself to be a "miracle drug."

We all know of the Kellogg High School Wildcats. Tomcats are pretty famous for their independence and nocturnal prowling, and they are a favorite household pet. Blackbirds are a fairly common species around the world.

BLAME: No way to run country

Mike Seymour, 72
On behalf of my husband, Mike D. Seymour, I wanted to let our friends in Sandpoint and Coeur d’Alene know of his passing in Port Angeles, Wash. More importantly, I wanted to thank each of you, who made our many years living there so special, and tell you how much Mike appreciated your friendship and kindness. What was important to Mike was not just having friends, but truly getting to know them. Whether he was on a route for Budweiser, Coors, or Miller, helping out at the Lost in the 50s, working with neighbors on projects and challenges, he always found such enjoyment and satisfaction.
FEDS: A salute for independence
As a former federal worker with 35 years of service including the U.S. Air Force and the Department of Interior, the Fourth of July is an important day for me. Since the dawn of our nation, federal workers have played a significant role in America’s achievements.
Celebrating your freedom and independence
Every Fourth of July, families and friends across the country gather for cookouts, festivals and fireworks displays to celebrate our freedom and independence as a nation, as well as individuals. As you age, maintaining your independence becomes an even greater priority. Today, older people are living more active, vibrant lives than ever before due to healthy habits, positive attitudes, modern medicine and caregiving services, such as those provided by Home Helpers.

Why you should buy wine like a collector
We frequently hear two things from even our best customers about buying wine from a wine shop; first, it takes an extra stop, and second that wine from a wine shop is more expensive than from a grocery store. The first one is absolutely true, we are an extra stop. The second though is absolutely false. We regularly keep wine on the shelf from $8 and up, most times it is better quality and more unique than what you find at your typical supermarket.

Acupuncture for surgery and pain
Doctor of Oriental Medicine
Acupuncture has been proven for decades in the U.S. (for centuries in other countries!) to be effective in alleviating pain from many conditions. I've had several people over the years ask if acupuncture is effective for pain control during surgery as well. "After all, it works so great with alleviating pain, why not in surgery too?" The answer is yes, it can.
Melvin D. Westlake, 69
God called Melvin David Westlake of Rathdrum home on June 23, 2012. He was born on Oct. 1, 1942, in Pomona, Calif., to David and Mildred Westlake. He grew up in Ontario and went to high school where he met the love of his wife, Sharlene. They were married Feb. 14, 1962. He worked for the Southern California Edison Co. until 1978 when the family moved to Post Falls. He retired from the Potlatch Corp. and then went to work for the North Kootenai Water District. He loved the outdoors, hunting, fishing, camping and shooting. He was a devoted National Rifle Association benefactor member and very active in the Lake Country Friends of NRA Committee. He was active in the Hauser Lake Rod and Gun Club, conducting shooting clinics and competing himself. He loved singing in the church choir, helping people selflessly and loved his family more than anything. He is survived by his mother, Mildred (Post Falls), his wife, Sharlene, his daughter, Kristina Jackson (Three Forks, Mont.), his son, Mel and Heather Westlake, Jr. (Post Falls), sister, Carol and Ted Hiiva (Post Falls), grandchildren, Kassidy and Cole Jackson (Three Forks) and Amanda Westlake (Post Falls) and numerous nieces and nephews.

The happiness diet - high in omega-3's
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids , found in cold water fish such as salmon, have long been considered positive additives to the diet because they protect against chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer and rheumatoid arthritis. Now there may be another benefit to omega-3's which have been linked to reducing anxiety.
DESPOTS: Rodkey right on the money
Dr. Rodkey’s letter in the Wednesday, June 20, Opinion page was well written and a needed observation. If I might expand on the thought, Thomas Jefferson in speaking of limited government said 173 despots would surely be as oppressive as one — little will it avail us that they are chosen by “elective despotism.” With the compendium of federal regulations now up to 81,405 pages, “Private sector regulatory compliance” is costing $1.752 trillion or 11.9 percent of the GNP. We need a much smaller federal government.

The only issues are water pump related and a few minor equipment upgrades.

Tales too good not to share
Main Street
Alan Wolfe, 57, a first-time Ironman competitor from Post Falls, made it to the finish line on Sherman Avenue about 9:45 p.m., pausing, going down into a prone position and rolling across the line. What most people in the viewing area wouldn't have known about Alan's unique finish is that it honored the only person with ALS to ever complete an Ironman competition, Jon Blais. Blais was diagnosed in 2005 and competed that year in the Hawaii Ironman, finishing with a flourish ... log rolling over the line after 16 hours. He passed away from the degenerative muscle disease in 2007. Alan also honored his late mother, Betty, who died of ALS in 1986 at the age of 58.

He is mourned by them, by his sons and daughters-in-law, Jill, DV, Douglas, and Monica, by his numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren, but the mourning is held in the sure and certain hope of seeing him again at the Last Day.
OBAMA: Why his bid is doomed
Has President Obama opened the door for his demise? By catering to the rich and famous, supporting gay marriage, giving Planned Parenthood taxpayers’ money, supporting the Attorney General after he has demonstrated his lack of integrity (birds of a feather are flocking together in the WH) — he, in my opinion, has destroyed his chances for re-election.
Jump-start yoursummer training with this healthy salad
If you were one of the hundreds of spectators who showed up to cheer on the Ironman athletes on Sunday, then I'm sure you felt that encouraging push to get in killer shape. Unfortunately, this feeling was most likely mixed with a twinge of guilt that your New Year's resolution of losing weight hasn't quite turned out the results you had hoped.

Gordon Mattson, 76
Gordon Charles Mattson was born to Clarence Charles Mattson and Dorothy Harris Mattson Oct. 22, 1936, in Rigby, Idaho. He grew up in a farm community, and was known by friends and family as ‘Little Joe.” At an early age he worked on the farm driving tractors before he could see over the steering wheel. His family moved in 1953 to Darby, Mont., where Gordon attended and graduated from Darby High School in 1955. After high school he proudly served in the U.S. Army as a clerk typist and spent much of his service in Germany. After he returned home he spent time working for the railroad as a telegrapher and then moved to Renton, Wash., where he worked for Boeing until he retired. He then moved to Coeur d’Alene where he enjoyed a life of leisure in the Hayden Lake community. In his younger days he enjoyed fishing and hunting and throughout his life took pleasure in western novels, country music, playing golf, genealogy research, and spent hours on his computer. He was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Gordon was a generous man, incredibly kind person and was always the first to volunteer to help family and friends. He is survived by his brother Lee(Beth) Mattson, sisters Murriel (Dwayne) Williams, Joyce (Vince) Hamm, Joanne (John) Lee, Gladys (Jerry) Schaum, Susan Mattson, and Shanna (Robert) Coffman Jr., as well as many nephews and nieces, all of whom loved him dearly and will miss him greatly.

If you’ll notice in the Big Lie column (I can’t think of a better description) there are no contrasts of data sets, just the assurance — believe Burt. But Burt Rutan designs aircraft; he has no training in climatology. Would you let a surfer design an oil supertanker?

SECURITY: Feds, pay the fund back
All politicians running for all offices say we must do something about Social Security and Medicare. We have already done something about them. In 1955 when Dwight Eisenhower was president of the United States of America the Republican Party borrowed $6 billion from Social Security (a note was borrowed). This happened several times and when Lyndon B. Johnson was president he put the remaining $6 billion from the fund into the general fund. The total amount was about $23 billion. None of these funds were paid back to Social Security. If the total $23 billion was put into savings for more than 50 years, what would be in the fund now and how much of an increase would be in our monthly checks today?

Prejudice is a losing game
It's not often I see researchers asking whether prejudice might have its advantages. Yet that's exactly what a federal technology group in Switzerland, ETH Zurich, did - explore the question of whether prejudices might be rational under certain circumstances. The answer was no. In fact, they concluded the opposite, that prejudiced people are disadvantaged, lose opportunities, and learn nothing new.

Importance of early physical therapy after surgery
If you've undergone surgery, chances are you're experiencing pain, swelling, a loss of motion and bruising following the procedure. Getting moving after your surgery is one of the most important things you can do to help you return to your previous activity level. While your physical therapy is probably going to be tailored to your specific condition, the benefits are often similar.

Taking medications via microchip
If you aren't a fan of needle injections, you may be interested to learn that drugs may now be delivered by microchip. This new way of delivering medication has already been tested among osteoporosis patients. It involves the use of an implanted microchip that has a wireless receiver, which signals the microchip to release the drug. This method of drug delivery is different from most current drug-delivery systems that slowly release small amounts of the drug. Instead, the microchip releases all the medication at once, much like a needle injection. While there are still some issues to work out, the system holds great future promise for delivering medication to patients who have trouble taking their medications regularly.

Autoimmune disease finger-pointing continues
Doctor of Oriental Medicine
There is much finger-pointing going on as scientists, medical professionals and concerned individuals are trying to make sense of the significant onslaught of autoimmune disorders. According to Virginia T. Ladd, President/Executive Director of the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association (AARDA), autoimmune diseases affect more than 23.5 million Americans, with 75 percent of those being women. Autoimmune diseases are listed as one of the Top 10 leading causes of death among women age 65 and younger. As a result, in March 2009 a recommendation was made to the Office of Research on Women's Health/National Institutes of Health to put autoimmune diseases on the top of the research priority list.

Frozen Yogurt vs. Ice Cream: The two heavyweights slug it out!
When it comes to the battle of frozen yogurt vs. ice cream, the clear winner in terms of consumption is ice cream. What isn't clear is why this is the case. Fro-yo, as people who love this tasty treat affectionately call it is clearly the healthier choice of the two. It has health benefits that ice cream doesn't, and doesn't contain anywhere near the level of fat. It also is a lot easier for those who are lactose intolerant to tolerate. This may be why it's been gaining ground in recent years and has become a popular treat for those in the know.
SHOOTING: Dead but not forgotten
I am wondering why there has been no follow up articles concerning the man that was shot and killed by police officers in Hayden a few months ago. Why haven’t the police car videos been released?

Is it The Press’s stance not to print negative news about our area … or our men in blue? What is going on with this investigation?

Moroccan kismet: A gentler Arab Spring
In December 2010, 26-year-old Mohamed Bouazizi set fire to himself. This street vendor had been rousted and humiliated once again by Tunisian police for hawking apples and pears out of a wheelbarrow. Bouazizi ignited more than himself. His death triggered the Arab Spring, a Twitter-driven revolution that engulfed Muslim nations in the Mediterranean in 2011.

AMERICA: The leveraged buyout
Abraham Lincoln feared a hostile takeover. Lincoln said, “The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than a monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, and more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes. I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and the Bankers in the rear. Of the two, the one at my rear is my greatest foe...corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money powers of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in the hands of a few, and the Republic is destroyed.”
DOCTORS: Second opinion worthwhile

A reflection on Dad - and a generation
At the end of last month I spent some significant time dismantling my father's model railroad layout. It was a project he began in earnest during the winter of 1950. There was not much to do during those winters on the farm, and he had always been interested in railroads and in modeling work, so it was a perfect outlet for him during the "off-months" to be creative and active. Much of the work from even those early years, like the main freight yard, the hand built brass engines, the scratch built rolling stock and many of his early buildings, still graced the much larger operating layout which consumed two bedrooms of his now vacant house (Dad and Bettina moved into an independent living facility in downtown Spokane last November).

The son had minor injuries and the 36-year-old father was in critical condition. Are you trying to see if anyone reads this column or am I missing something?

• The Greenbriar Inn was built in 1908 by Harvey and Carrie Davey. Harvey Davey was a bricklayer who moved here from Sandpoint, and, because of his wife's longtime ambition to own and run a boarding house, he decided to build their home at commercial scale, to show his abilities as a mason. In the years that followed, he built many of the buildings in the downtown Coeur d'Alene area: most were churches, schools or government buildings. His "signature" was the way he laid the bricks at the top of the windows.

FLORIDA: Support for legal voting
I am referring to the letter from Stephen R. Bruno published Friday, June 8. It is people “thinking” (I use the word loosely) like he does that really scares me and has me worried about the future of our country. He, like Attorney General Holder, seems to want to keep systems that support illegal voting. Why is that? If that is not their desire why do they continually oppose any system changes that will tighten up controls to insure those voting are legal? Requiring a picture ID is a very simple requirement and, in my opinion, if you cannot obtain one you are probably not a legal voter or are too uninformed or stupid to vote. Sadly, this is one more reason I no longer trust most Democrats.

LUNCH: Schools did their job
This is to Lisa, the lady whose children were charging lunch at school. I have to agree that the charge should never have gotten out of hand like that, but she did say that she got email from the school. Lisa, why did you not call the lunch room and find out if you could put a block on the account? I have worked for the school lunch program (not in Coeur d’Alene) for about nine years now and if a child comes to school without a lunch by law the school had to feed them. If a staff member tells us that a child has no lunch, the school has to feed them, and that lunch has to be paid for. How upset would you have been if your child went without lunch that day? Are you not sure that your child was not tossing their lunch? You could have called the lunch room and the student’s teacher to let them know that your child should be eating a lunch from home. Do not blame the lunch room for doing their job.

When your body attacks itself
Doctor of Oriental Medicine
Strange as it seems, your body can actually attack itself. Well, your body doesn't go crazy with a knife and start attacking in that manner, however, part of your body can. That part is the immune system. When the immune system goes haywire, goes on some crazy metabolic rampage, and turns a supposedly healthy functioning immune system into a victim, so to speak, we call it an auto-immune disorder.

In any effort to understand or appreciate persons, nations or cultures there are "known" and "unknown" aspects. There are several old "wisdom sayings" that reflect this: "Still waters run, deep;" "you never can tell the depth of the well from the length of the handle of the pump;" "you can't tell a book by its cover," are some of these. As a way to form some appreciation of these deeper meanings we often use signs and symbols. And we recognize that some knowledge and "reflection time" are necessary to connect the more outwardly "known" with the more "unknown" aspects of persons and communities.

RECALL: Petition snapshot revealing
At the Coeur d’Alene City Council meeting Tuesday, June 5, Chris Copstead, former city councilman, spoke during the public comments regarding how he felt he had been “duped” into signing a recall petition and made very disparaging remarks. Mr. Copstead claimed he was approached by a woman with a petition and relayed that he specifically asked her if her petition was about Recall CdA and was informed it was not. It was a national petition (NOT local) concerning voting rights. He further stated that he read the petition and some of the accompanying documentation and it was accurate as presented. Two other incidents were brought up by him and it had been decided it was a “masked petition.” On the top of each and every page of the four petitions for Recall CdA it states very clearly who the petition is for and what it is about and to my knowledge no volunteer has ever had cause to cover up the information. What would be the purpose? They are interested in MORE transparency.

How low can they go?
Interest rates dropped again last week to a new record low of 3.67 percent reflecting seven-tenths of a percent of the previous week's record. That represents the sixth week in a row of declining interest rates. Perhaps as a result, a recent survey showed that a majority of homeowners think housing prices will appreciate in the next year. One would have to think that with interest rates so low, housing demand will rise as it has in many parts of the country.

LCDC leads to jobs
In response to Jim Jackson’s letter concerning LCDC last week, I have to correct his many misconceptions. First, LCDC is not a taxing entity. It is an independent redevelopment agency serving the city of Cd’A. It has been deemed by an independent agency (Idaho State Tax Commission) as being tax neutral, meaning it doesn’t raise anyone’s tax bill. It simply facilitates redevelopment of deteriorated properties in partnership with private development. LCDC does not use any tax money that the city would receive from a particular property but only the tax from the increased value of the property after the improvements are made, e.g. Riverstone development.

None had to fire a shot and none faced any criminal or civil actions due to their defensive threat of use of deadly force.

You can see their progress, and that of the parents who are carefully tending them, on a live webcam sponsored by the Peregrine Fund, Idaho Fish & Game and Fiberpipe. The chicks weighed about an ounce and a half when they hatched, but will be full grown by the time they leave the nest. According to the Peregrine Fund, by the time they fledge in July, the young falcons will be 18 inches tall and have a wingspan of more than 3 feet. Young falcons typically fledge five to six weeks after hatching.

Also on display is the work of students who took the summer off academically, struggling writers and students who have learning deficits in reading and writing.

Timing is everything: Part 2
In my previous article, I focused on developmental coordination disability (DCD). In this article, the focus will be on dysgraphia, a form of writing disability that falls under the DCD category. DCD may affect all aspects of movement or it can affect only fine motor skills, specifically skills needed to write well. Dysgraphia specifically impacts spelling and writing because the basic prerequisite skills, motor movement and letter formation, are inefficient. A child with dysgraphia is required to use more brainpower to simply make a letter, which causes an energy drain that interferes with the overall writing process.

Avoid food poisoning by keeping fruits, vegetables safe
Summer is a great time for eating fresh fruits and vegetables, whether they come from the local farmer's market, grocery store or your garden.

Eating any contaminated product is serious business because it can make you very sick and even cause death. Unfortunately, produce labeled as organic or locally grown are not immune to contamination.

Will Smith was once the king of the summer box office. "Men in Black 2," released in 2002, began a string of inconsistent projects that started to drain his blockbuster appeal. It was a lazy cash-grab and an empty shell of the clever 1997 original.
PAVING: Not OK here, either
It has become clear to me that Coeur d’Alene Paving and the Kootenai County Commissioners, Green, Tondee and Nelson, are putting business/money and PROFIT before the health of the citizens of Idaho and Washington. The commissioner’s passed a rezone from Agriculture to Mining on 116 acres located on the Washington/Idaho border just north of State Line Road on April 13. Their reasoning was that there are like business already established in the area. However, this business will be farther west and much closer to residents than any other business already in operation and will affect a much higher population than those already in existence due to its proximity to well established neighborhoods. Additionally, the existing businesses do not work six days per week from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. as Coeur d’Alene Paving will do.

Computers win ... and students lose
I have spent 16 years teaching in the Coeur d'Alene School District and over 20 working with kids. Three years ago I could not have imagined writing this letter. I am aware of the animosity toward teachers by some community members. It is not my intent to make a political statement, though I see much of this animosity taking a political tone. I write this because most of the negative comments I hear originate from people with no classroom affiliation, and because I see and experience the tragic effects of decisions made by those who have little or no teaching experience.
MEMORIAL: Deserved newspaper coverage
As I read The Press Tuesday, I was inspired by the many Memorial Day ceremonies conducted in our area. It struck me, however, that there was no coverage of Hayden’s ceremonies which included a flyover by two A-10 “Warthogs,” Senator John Goedde (guest speaker), and much, much more; the 11 o’clock ceremony drawing a crowd exceeding THREE HUNDRED! I’m sure it was just an “oversight.”
OBAMA: Economy woes predate him
A lot of people are somehow blaming President Obama for our sluggish economy and lack of new jobs. They just refuse to look backward BEFORE he was president, in 2006 and 2007 when the real estate market was starting to take a dive. This was due to the failed efforts of the Bush administration when it decided to deregulate the banking and mortgage industries and then did nothing to stop the carnage.
