Stop the Recall, as an organization representing a large portion of this community, hopes that with a formal investigation, RecallCDA will be held accountable for any unlawful actions they have perpetrated.

The truth of the matter is that chiropractic is a tool to help your body do what it already does every day; keep your body healthy and functioning properly.

Assistance for your pet
It's not a myth, people with pets live longer and are healthier than those who don't have one. Studies have shown that petting your cat or dog can release the hormone endorphins throughout your body. This helps you to feel calm and relaxed. Pets are also very accepting. They have an unconditional love that is great for a person's self-esteem and they give you a reason to take care of yourself. When that pet falls ill, it can be very traumatic for not only the pet but also for its owner. If the owner is on a fixed income, it becomes a crisis. The fear of losing their companion can start a series of health issues in the owner as well.

Notice one thing is startlingly missing from that list: Will this provider get me better? Just because an office is close by and they take your insurance doesn't necessarily mean they provide the best quality care.

We celebrate National Bosses Day, Administrative Assistant Day, and National Raisin Day (I like raisins, but really?). There is no official Staff Appreciation Day.

Dangers of overprescribing kids' antibiotics
Parents must carefully consult with their children's pediatricians before deciding to treat their kids with antibiotics. It is important for parents to understand that prescribing antibiotics to children unnecessarily raises the risk of developing antibiotic-resistant infections in both the child and society as a whole. For this reason, health experts have been warning of the dangers of antibiotic over-prescription for years. Yet, a recent study involving nearly 65,000 outpatient visits by children under the age of 18 shows that pediatricians write more than 10 million unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions annually, mostly for respiratory conditions. About one-quarter of antibiotic prescriptions are given to children with respiratory conditions that will not respond to antibiotics, such as asthma, bronchitis, influenza and allergies.

Muscle imprint
Sometimes don't you wonder if all those years of sports in junior high, high school and college, along with all the playing at the lake and skiing at the mountain is why we are so sore and achy today when we get up in the morning? Go ahead and think back about all the activities you did when you were young. I do this often when my young junior high athletes come in to the clinic with injuries like ankle sprains, knee pain and back pain because they are growing so fast. As I care for them I am constantly amazed at how fast they heal, and then of course I wonder what about our age group. Will we be able to get back on our feet that quickly and does our mind and body have some sort of imprint from all of those activities that we did when we were younger to help us on our way?

CITY: Noise and other nuisances
Our guests, my husband and I woke up Tuesday morning to the loud sounds of “something” blasting and whining away over at the library around 6:30 a.m. It was the man pressure washing the gum off the concrete! We expect that this will be an ongoing maintenance project in the new McEuen Fields Park too. Why aren’t there city regulations in place about noise pollution before 7 a.m.? Aren’t there already regulations for the evening in downtown?

LOANS: Feds exceed authority
When it comes to all the wrangling over federal student loan rates, both the Democrats and the GOP have got it all wrong. The debate seems to be revolving around the disaster of allowing the rate for future loans to rise from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent, and if it isn’t increased, how is this lost revenue going to be funded?

HEALTH: We are all socialists
Our national security rests firmly on the individual and collective health of our citizens. Words are not reality. Using the terms socialism and socialistic like a club to beat people into submission is an act of cowardice and ignorance. Such terms are too often used to conceal irrational and negative motives. Let’s stop befogging the issue with words and look at reality. No other industrialized nation on this Earth saddles its businesses with the burden of providing a necessary service that is a right of every single citizen. America’s fragmented health insurance system costs our nation a good 40 percent more in dollars than a single payer Medicare for All system would, and it leaves at least 1/3 of our population with inadequate coverage or no coverage. This is equivalent to paying $10,000 for a car that’s only worth $6,000. Is that stupidity or simply ignorance?

Although you were not readily thinking about all of these processes, they were going on without the need for your input.

APOLOGY: Mom sorry for son's cow theft
Dear Mr. and Mrs Gagnon: My name is Barbara Hiza and the reason I am writing this letter to you is because I feel I owe you an apology for what my son Brandon has done. I never raised my son to be a thief, but unfortunately that’s what he has turned out to be and I am very embarrassed by my son’s recent actions and even more sorry that you have been the latest victims of my son’s criminal behavior. I am not asking for you drop the charges against my son; in fact I am asking you to prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law. I am a firm believer in tough love and if this is the only way to make my son understand that what he did was wrong, that he can’t be breaking the law and that he needs to grow up and act like a responsible member of society, then I feel he needs some serious jail/prison time.

Treating osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis sufferers have traditionally relied on "non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs" (NSAIDs) to reduce joint pain and swelling. However, because continued use of such NSAIDs as aspirin and ibuprofen often leads to gastrointestinal problems, drug makers turned their attention to developing a form of NSAID known as a COX-2 selective inhibitor. This drug selectively targets COX-2, which is an enzyme directly responsible for inflammation and pain. While this type of NSAID has been found to produce less stomach upset than other NSAIDs, COX-2 selective inhibitors are associated with an increased risk of blood clots that can lead to heart attack and stroke. For this reason, celecoxib (Celebrex) should be taken in the smallest possible dose for the shortest possible period.

Weather Gems
The latest sea-surface temperature data indicates that we're in a "La Nada," or in-between the warmer El Nino and cooler La Nina phenomenons. Readings near the South American coastline have warmed to "above" normal levels since the middle of April. After another long period with La Nina, the cooler than normal sea-surface temperature event, readings are starting to warm up. Over the last several weeks, sea-surface temperatures have rapidly climbed to about 3-4 degrees above normal levels near the South American coastline.

In fact, those markets showing improvement represent about half of the markets surveyed by the National Association of Realtors, yet it does indicate the market may be beginning to stabilize.

I see Larry Spencer has raised a huge political war chest, with many donors living out of state. Why would so many people send him large donations? I did some checking, and it appears that almost every single one of those out of state donors is a property owner in Kootenai County, or is associated with one. After I thought about it, I came to the realization that the real question is this. Why would landowners, especially lakefront property owners, be so upset they send thousand dollar checks to his campaign? Perhaps the answer has something to do with Todd Tondee and Dan Green’s proposed new land use codes currently being written. Perhaps the concerns of the Cd’A lake property owners association are justified. After reading their eight page position letter (it is on their website), I would also be worried if I owned land that the county planning department will have control of. Maybe, just maybe, the people who are paying attention have figured out that if the incumbents are left in office, property rights will be a fond memory for those of us in this county. And perhaps we should be thanking those same people for helping Spencer to raise the awareness of the impending loss of property rights while we can still do something about it, like change the

Why does this same rule not apply to clothes? It is equally as futile (and uncomfortable) to have the same expectation with body size.

Kootenai County residents are fortunate to have such a dedicated man in this position.

The more controversy that can be created the more “My Turn” columns and Letters to the Editor appear, filling the pages of paper with free print.

That is the lowest rate since these long-term loans were first offered in the 1950s. This is great news for homebuyers looking for the best deals. Many, still waiting for the "bottom" of the market may find they have missed it if the preliminary April figures from the Coeur d'Alene Multiple Listing Service prove accurate.

This is an appalling statement, especially when, until very recently, most nurses were ADNs. In addition, a lot of ADNs have gone back to school and gotten their BSNs. That didn’t make them a better nurse, just more educated on statistics and community nursing — not especially useful on the nursing floors.

SHERIFF: Vote for Hutcheson
Being the parent of a law enforcement officer, I have seen the importance of having a great leader, and how it affects the men and women who are out there protecting the citizens of our county. Without someone in administration they can count on they lose their voice. My choice to vote for Keith Hutcheson, is due to his background in serving the public for more than 22 years.
FORESTS: Give back to the people
One of the many great things about North Idaho was that a family could grab a National Forest map and head out with dirt bikes and ATV’s to explore some new territories, looking for wildlife, huckleberries, new prospects for hunting or just to have fun riding and getting back in to enjoy how beautiful our state is. Well, those days are over.

GEMS: Amen to Cliff's column
I loved the weekly weather almanac that Cliff Harris wrote April 30 titled, “Are geo-engineers ‘playing God’ with our weather?” I thought I was the only one who looks up! I’ve known about chemtrails for at least 30 years and I’ve tried telling friends and family etc., about the airplanes using aerosols (and it’s not coming from the engines) to spray these poisons on us and they think I don’t know what I’m talking about. I’m finally reading more and more about people reporting on them. All a person has to do is Google “Chemtrails” or “What in the World are they Spraying” and you’d be surprised at what you see and what’s going on. Like Cliff Harris quoted Mr. Combs as saying, they are hiding in plain sight!

GOP: Beware the revolution
North Idaho has a reputation for blended politics. Democrats, Republicans and Independents have always cast their votes for the person rather than for a party and they get along. That was until revolutionists within the Republican Party sued the state of Idaho last March claiming that the state’s open primary violated the Republican Party’s First Amendment rights and resulted in HB 351, allowing closed primary elections.

DAYCARE: Firmly in owner's corner
In regard to the article “Daycare investigated — again” on May 1; I have known Pat Schenck for 21 years. I worked for her in Montana in 1997. I have two sisters who attended her daycare as children, one of them eventually worked for her recently in Coeur d’Alene. I have a son who has been going to her daycares for six years. I have never suspected or witnessed any abusive actions from Pat. My son tells me he has never been hit, nor has he ever seen Pat hit anyone. I honestly believe Pat cares about ALL children and their well-being, and that is why she has been doing this as her career for so long.

Why we oppose Northern Lakes fire levy
The Northern Lakes Fire Protective District (NLFPD) has recently held several "informational" meetings regarding the upcoming tax override election on May 15.

ELECTION: Don't buy into Spencer
With the heated rhetoric increasing as the May 15 election gets closer, citizens need to be leery of falling for some of the unfounded accusations and innuendos being told by one candidate in particular. Larry Spencer has taken “dirty politics” to a whole new level for this county, and hopefully voters will see through his campaign of deception and fear mongering.

PARENTS: Give kids guidance
I just finished reading a letter by Kell Miller about how disrespectful kids are these days. I could not agree more. I myself turned 23 on April 26. I do not see how any parent thinks it’s OK to allow their child to run about showing off more skin than clothing. Girls are developing much more quickly these days so they think that it means they are grown up now. No YOU’RE NOT. Parents are failing as parents by allowing them to dress as basically $10 prostitutes. I know these young girls are doing it for the attention but, they do not realize that they are not getting the kind of attention they are going for. Most people who see them dressed in miniskirts showing off their bottoms and hoo hoos or shirts that have their stomach and breasts hanging out like they are ready to go hit the pole — most people are not looking at them because they think they look cute or hot. Most people are looking at them because they are DISGUSTED.
GEMS: Separating wheat from chaff
When the exhaust heat from an aircraft engine, particularly a jet engine, enters the atmosphere at varying altitudes, depending on temperatures and dew points, it creates a visible cloud stream. In pilot speak; this stream is called a “contrail,” short for condensation trail. The pilot speak verb for creating a contrail is “conning.” Aviators try to avoid conning when people are shooting bullets at them because contrails make them easy targets. Aviators don’t worry much about conning when no bullets are involved. Contrails do not harm people on the ground any more than clouds do.

When children are put in charge of their own garden, they gain hands-on application in learning the work that is put into making our food. This scientific process can help grow a greater appreciation of the Earth. Having them learn the basics of gardening helps in self-esteem building and responsibility, as they watch their hard work bloom.

PROSECUTOR: Why Barry is the best
Several years ago, a man ran amok in a San Francisco law office shooting several attorneys. It was tragic and yet deep down many a citizen harbored a feeling that they might never and should never admit. That feeling was that this country might do better if a few more attorneys were shot. A member of the California legislature initiated a bill to make it a crime to make jokes about attorneys after the shooting, reasoning that disrespectful jokes and comments were likely to generate dangerous behavior toward attorneys. Of course, the number of jokes and disparaging comments expanded exponentially.

Medications only work if you take them
One of the more worrisome aspects of keeping patients healthy is the fact that many do not take their medications. At the very worst, this compliance problem begins when patients with chronic conditions do not even pick up their newly prescribed drugs. This failure to comply with their prescribing physicians' recommendations places patients with high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol levels and other potentially life-threatening conditions at particular risk.
McEUEN: Just a touch-up will do
McEuen Park is a beautiful multi-purpose park with Tubbs Hill as a background that serves our community well. It is a great injustice and a waste of money to propose ripping everything down and starting over. I enjoy McEuen often and I go downtown at least once a week, winter and summer, to enjoy all of downtown’s parks, boardwalk, baseball games and boating activity even though I don’t own a boat.

When in doubt, put voters first
The McEuen Field controversy seriously offended many Cd'A citizens when several members of the Cd'A City Council and the mayor decided to approve a huge project that we really don't need at a gigantic cost to taxpayers. The stinker is that they also took it upon themselves to deny the taxpayers the respect of a vote. They simply applied the tried and true "Representative Government" concept and shoved it right down our throats.
