SD 271: Very happy with board
To all of the residents of SD 271, PLEASE read. In the Nov. 17 issue of The Press, there was an article by Maureen Dolan “Coeur d’Alene Education Partnership goes public.” I hope that you read it. This partnership sounds to me like a liberal progressive group of citizens that are fed up with the current school board and want to take it back to the progressive era. I am very happy with the current board. Isn’t SD 271 lucky to have five fiscal conservatives that watch over for our money and the American principles? I would like to ask the partnership a few questions: 1) Is it CDAEP’s position that the judge should not have ruled that Wanda Quinn’s appointment was illegal? 2) Is it the position of CDAEP that IB and/or PYP be brought back into our schools? 3) Will CDAEP support those candidates for the school board that promise to bring back these IB programs? 4) Will CDAEP support candidates that are AGAINST these IB programs?

Are online pharmacies legitimate?
If you think that you'll get a bargain from an online pharmacy, think again. According to a 2012 analysis of nearly 1,000 online pharmacies by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP), which accredits online pharmacies and represents state pharmacy boards all over the United States, only around 3 percent appear to be legitimate. The NABP found that 85 percent of the online drugstores it looked into do not require a valid prescription from the consumer's physician, and nearly half provided foreign drugs or medications not approved by the FDA. While there are Canadian online pharmacies that are legitimately regulated, many websites that purport to be Canadian are not. Worse yet, you may not even get the drug you ordered.

Balance
During this time of year, we face slippery sidewalks, steps with snow on them and lots of responsibilities that take our mind off where we are walking. This can cause us all kinds of trouble when it comes to falling. We often think that because we are getting older it's natural to lose our balance more often. But it is not! We lose our balance because we don't keep training our bodies to have good balance, especially after injuries, total joints, or any painful back or leg trouble.

Physical therapists are important members of your medical team. For many shoulder conditions, they can help you recover strength and function as well as speed the healing process.

Physical therapists also work with patients whose shoulder conditions do not require surgery.

Thanksgiving 2012 exposed the greed of corporate America. By using a holiday that originated from Abraham Lincoln’s attempt to unite the American family giving thanks for the year’s prosperity, corporate greed has diminished the meaning of this treasured holiday.
The real world changes liberals to conservatives
Our nation is in political gridlock, and the Conservatives in the Republican Party are to blame. The nation is near perfectly divided; cleaved into two schools: Progressive and Conservative. The Progressives advocate the supremacy of the state as the protector and regulator of prosperity, ensuring the equality of outcome. The Conservatives advocate the sovereignty of the individual, limiting the power of the state and ensuring the equality of opportunity.
GOD: He's clearly on GOP's side
Don’t ever forget, our God is still on His throne. The Bible says that God lifts up kings (presidents) and He takes them down. We don’t always understand His ways, but President Obama and all the rich people who are seemingly in control of our dear country CAN’T do anything that God in His wisdom doesn’t allow. We may be in for severe discipline for our ungodly ways, abortion, same sex marriage, immorality, etc. that we surely deserve, but never fear, God is still in control, and always will be.

'Clean Me Up' with Biofeedback
Quantum Biofeedback is a process of voltermetric comparison of the body's reaction to more than 11,000 known components. In these reactions we can determine areas of stress in the body. Stress can be caused by being out of balance. Our bodies have an amazing capacity for adaptation, but stress left unresolved may cause the body to create a "bypass" of energy to function "normally." With a new injury it can produce increased pain but over time that pain may dull and become constant. Our bodies adapt, but with consequences.

I have a new lawnmower that I bought this spring, which is now having the same problem; also, I have a chain saw and rototiller which have the same problem in starting due to carburetors ruined by ethanol. And ethanol is also good if you want to lose power in your automobile.

Well, not just your stomach, but your whole gut - esophagus, stomach, and large and small intestines.

It divided into the nervous system as we commonly understand it, then also into the "enteric nervous system," the gut. Most of the same cells and same hormones are found in both brains.

Cinnamon may be an answer for controlling blood glucose levels
Cinnamon is a favorite spice to add to a variety of dishes and drinks around the holidays, including coffee.

And on top of that, cinnamon is an excellent source of manganese and fiber, which both have many health benefits by themselves.

Let’s not forget her illegal maneuver to install her successor, with the complicity of the board and legal council and the endorsement of the Coeur d’Alene Press, to ensure the continuation of the established monopoly of thought.

VOTE: Respect everyone's choices
I write this letter with sadness over the anger people showed if you didn’t agree with whom they thought should be president. My husband just became a U.S. citizen and for six years since we have been back from overseas he struggled with giving up the country he loved but he also learned to love our country through its ups and downs. This was his first year he was able to vote and he read everything the candidates believed in and was more informed than I was.
CHARGES: The ol' Calif. rip off
Since many states are operating with a deficit, they are creating and thinking of ways to charge more fees and get more money from the residents. We own property in California and just received our property tax bills. Each property got an increase in value and not appropriate to location, size or condition. The L.A. County Assessor apparently just picks a figure and increases your property taxes by that amount. We should bring back Prop. 13 and stop this wholesale robbery. You can contest your increase, but by the time you fill out all the paperwork, appear before the panel, you almost know that you’re not going to get a re-evaluation or any type of decrease.

My Turn: A post-election love story
I read that in the wake of the recent presidential election, 70,000 Texans signed a petition for secession from the Union. For a man descended from generations of Republicans the re-appearance of secessionist sentiment seems like a confirmed report of the beginning of a zombie apocalypse; still, I feel the Texans' pain.

Giving thanks to American farmers
"Improving agricultural productivity has been the world's primary safeguard against a recurring Malthusian crisis - where the needs of a growing population outstrip the ability of man and resources to supply food. Over the past 50 years, global gross agricultural output has more than tripled in volume, and productivity growth in agriculture has enabled food to become more abundant and cheaper...If productivity growth slows, then more resources - land, labor, energy, fertilizers, and other inputs - would be needed to meet rising demand, raising the cost of food." This observation was included in a recent report by U.S. Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service researchers about the expected productivity growth in global agriculture.

Bitter or better?
Thanksgiving is here and it is one of my favorite holidays. I love this time of year because I get to focus on what's really important to me, my family and friends and this year is special because my oldest son will come home from college (and I miss him like crazy). It doesn't matter if the turkey is perfect or the mashed potatoes are fluffy or if the gravy is too thick. It just matters that we are all together hanging around our big old table with everyone laughing, talking and teasing each other. It's a time to let things of the past year roll under the table and be forgotten. I ask myself this same question every year right around Thanksgiving, will you become a bitter lady or a better lady this year?

Holidays and the blues
Many of us look to the upcoming holiday season with excitement. We look forward to getting together with loved ones and friends, contemplating what will be on the holiday menus, decorating our homes, deciding on presents to purchase and all kinds of other joyous thoughts that come with the season.
The gut: A second brain
Over the last decade, there have been waves of excitement regarding the "Brain Gut." Scientists have found that the gut is truly a brain in of itself, referred to as the "Enteric Nervous System." It turns out that the notion of "gut instinct" or "gut feelings" have actual merit. However, it goes much deeper than that.
Having back and neck pain? There is HELP!
For many people, the most frustrating aspect of having back pain or neck pain is getting understandable answers and learning which specific treatment option would be best for the problem. Why do I have back pain? Whom should I see for this problem? Do I need X-rays or an MRI? Do I need physical therapy, or injections, or surgery? What can I do to help myself?
What is a Biofeedback session like?
Our Certified Biofeedback Specialists at INTEGRATIVE WELLNESS CENTER have been sharing valuable information about the effects of stress on your overall health and well-being and how through Quantum Biofeedback we can help identify your stressors and support stress reduction to allow health restoration.
CONGRESS: No time for politics
I find myself stunned by the current behavior of Republican leaders and most Republican members of Congress. At a time when the people of the United States need them to take care of serious issues, they have opted again to bluster, and to stand against the president of the United States, rather than with him.
THANKS: Honor those now serving
It was a time of war. In the words of our 16th President Abraham Lincoln “… a civil war of unequaled magnitude and severity…” in his proclamation speech on Oct. 3, 1863, that established Thanksgiving as an annual event held on the last Thursday of November. However, the holiday was not officially observed by the United States military in that year since it was beyond the capabilities of the Commissary. It was war after all, and the food needs of the military were enormous. A diet of hardtack, salt meat and no vegetables was typical, and quickly lead to scurvy.
Potential Z-Pak concern
Azithromycin, which is often sold in a five-day dose known as a Z-Pak, is an antibiotic commonly used to kill bacteria that cause middle-ear infections, strep throat, sinusitis and pneumonia. It is therefore newsworthy that a recent study linked azithromycin with an increased risk of irregular heart rhythms in some patients. Azithromycin is part of the macrolide class of antibiotics, which includes erythromycin and other antibiotics that pose similar risks for those with heart disease risk factors. At the same time, the study found no similar risks associated with other antibiotics that treat many conditions as well as azithromycin, most notably, amoxicillin and ciprofloxacin. It may make sense to discuss these alternatives to azithromycin if you have a heart condition.
Post Falls chamber gives thanks
POST FALLS - The Post Falls Chamber of Commerce has a lot to be thankful for in 2012.
LETTER: Own up to owning crayons
On Friday, Nov. 16 the Coeur d’Alene Press printed a letter to the editor from Dennis Edelbrock, entitled “ELECTION: Now Who Owns What.” In his letter he listed a multitude of items he obviously disagreed with, followed by “… you own it.”
KENNEDY: Those days are long gone
The loss of the election for the conservatives has been attributed to various groups voting for Obama instead of Romney, including single women, Latinos, and so forth, but there are consistent voters for any Democrat candidate that also need to be considered. It seems to me that there are three main Democrat Party supporters: First: the “progressives” who want to bring down America as we have known it, and change it fundamentally. Second: The “takers” who vote for what they can get given to them. But there is an unrecognized third group: They are the well-intentioned, but misinformed or uninformed older voters who will vote for anyone under the label of “Democrat,” because that is what they have always been and what they always will be!
THANKS: To one but not the other
I would like to thank the kind person from Jo-Ann Fabrics who sent my wallet, Nov. 14, which I lost on Sept. 6 just before an important trip. I NEVER carry cash but that time I did. My wallet was returned in perfect shape with all of my cards (I have since replaced), including my driver’s license. Also the photo of my deceased son was still there! I hope you are reading this so I can personally thank you!
SOUP: Not all words taste good
Congratulations to Tom Hasslinger, staff writer for The Press. I think you have been successful in making every soup vendor from last year’s Soup Off and maybe this year mad at you as a result of your interview with me last week. You used the word “substandard” on your own and when I called you about it you said you did not mean to offend anyone, but rather wanted to keep the article light and somewhat humorous. You stated that you liked what you did and would not print a retraction.
Are you at risk?
Leg problems are widespread throughout the world, but what most people don't know is that approximately 90 percent of leg disorders originate within the veins. If you have tired, aching, swollen legs, or if you see the beginning of varicose veins, Dr. Stafford can help you learn how to improve the health of your venous circulation. Vein problems can progressively worsen over time and can affect your health for the rest of your life. A good starting point to conservatively manage vein symptoms is to wear compression stockings.
Slow and steady wins the race with preventing holiday weight gain
Increasing your pant size may seem inevitable this winter season as so many of us seem to munch our way through the holidays. At parties and days of celebration, we often find ourselves grazing throughout the day or eating plates and plates full of mouthwatering classics. By the end of the day, pants are tight, stomachs are uncomfortable and pounds are added. Believe it or not, there is one small strategy that we dietitians recommend that does not involve changing or avoiding your favorite treats: PACING. The old saying is right, "slow and steady wins the race."

Even more alarming is that the disease is anticipated to move from the fourth to the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States by 2020, and possibly as early as 2015.

It is the second most widely used system of medicine in the world. Its' growth in popularity in the U.S. has been around 25 to 50 percent a year throughout the last decade.

MUSICAL: One word review: Wow
Friday evening I was able to attend Spokane’s University High School’s production of “Les Miserables.” I was amazed that this was a high school production.

The costuming and set construction were likewise amazing, with a circular rotating section in the center of the stage.

Read your body
My husband and I have three boys and the activity level in our house never slows down. When they were little they would play and run, and go and go, until they were literally so tired they would fall down ready for bed. Sometimes however they got so exhausted that they would just break down into a full-blown temper tantrum. So because there were three of them and often only one of us, we quickly realized that this high energy little men needed to learn a few things about listening to their body.
At your disposal
If you have expired or unwanted medications lingering inside the medicine cabinet, do not automatically throw them down the toilet. Instead, get in touch with a local drug disposal program to keep drugs safely out of the environment. If there is no disposal program, you are urged to throw unwanted drugs in the trash after mixing them with coffee grounds and sealing them in a plastic bag. Doing so will render the medications unpalatable to anyone who may later somehow come into their possession. The FDA does recommend that powerful painkillers, controlled substances and other potentially dangerous drugs be flushed because they can be harmful to children, pets and others for whom they are not intended.
POLICE: Ask tough questions
A gun is not the most dangerous weapon our local sheriffs carry. The U.S. Supreme Court has made a law that allows an officer to lie to you in order to get information from you. This happened to me Sunday night. My child was taken from me due to a threat made by an officer that I would be charged with kidnapping if I did not allow her to go. This officer went as far as to write me a citation for this crime, which upon releasing her under duress, but for her own emotional well-being, was dismissed and my copy of the citation taken from me. It was not until this officer refused to answer the questions every cop must answer by law; am I under arrest, do you have a warrant, and will you identify yourself, that I started video recording.

NIC: Trustee decries campaigns
Listening to political campaign rhetoric, reading The Press (including letters to the editor), and campaign fliers I have concluded that numerous people with political aspirations should be ashamed. It is a sad day in America when candidates for local and federal offices all the way to the presidency use deception to get a few extra votes. They convince themselves that the end justifies the means. They believe that being elected is more important than their honesty. Something is wrong in the judgment of those candidates who knowingly deceive the electorate and call it strategy or “just a campaign tactic.” I am sorry, but it is purposely misleading the people. There are those who just assume that candidates for office are honest. They willingly accept the deceit as truth.

Thumb arthritis pain: You can be helped!
Thumb arthritis can be painful and debilitating. If you think there is little that can be done - think again! Osteoarthritis (OA) of the thumb is caused by injury or wear and tear on the joint. The most common joint affected is the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint. This is the joint at the base of the thumb where it meets the wrist. This joint is especially prone to injury as it needs to be stable and take a lot of force to allow you to pinch, hold and twist. Pain when pinching, lifting or pushing on the joint is usually the reason people seek help.

Who would go to your funeral?
When you pass away you know that someone in your family is going to plan a funeral for you, they will call everyone else in the family and maybe even some of your friends. It will probably end up in the newspaper, maybe even on the news if it made a big enough impact on someone or you died doing something amazing. That being said, Who would go to your funeral? Who out of all of your family would show up? Would everyone in your family come or are some of them angry with you? Did you somehow disappoint some of them by not making the family name famous? Are they embarrassed because your criminal record isn't clean?

Helping you avoid injuries this winter
Another winter is setting in. With freezing temperatures already occurring, that only means one thing, we will be walking on ice for the next four months! How can you avoid a serious injury by way of a slip and fall, or what should you if an unfortunate accident does occur?
First-line diabetes medications
Those diagnosed with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes are likely to be prescribed at least one medication to get their blood glucose levels under control. Classes of drugs such as meglitinides and sulfonylureas stimulate the pancreas to produce more insulin (the hormone that moves glucose from the blood into the cells). Another class of drugs, biguanides, works to inhibit the production and release of glucose by the liver, thereby reducing the amount of glucose that enters the blood. Metformin (Glucophage, Riomet) is in this latter category and also works to make cells more sensitive to the effects of insulin, which encourages more glucose to leave the blood and enter the cells. Metformin is effective and inexpensive, and it poses few side effects.

The forbidden fruit
The apple has been a huge symbol in our life for centuries.

Stocking up for the holidays
It is that time of year again when big gatherings of friends and family are a great idea, and along with these events comes the opportunity to try new wines to pair with our favorite holiday fare.

Chiropractic goes beyond pain
Our bodies are amazing. Think about that statement. As you do, also think about the fact that you probably took a breath, blinked your eyes, moved a limb, moved your head, focused your eyes, digested food, healed a cut, wiggled a toe, salivated and a million other internal operations. Although you were not readily thinking about all of these processes, they were going on without the need for your input. Your brain, while also supplying you with conscious thought, is simultaneously orchestrating a laundry list of functions to keep you alive and well.
PF: New businesses lead to more jobs
The city of Post Falls has been opening up new places like a new Burger King. There hasn’t been a Burger King in Post Falls for over six years. So after the new Burger King first opened people just started to flood in. There is also a new Walmart right by Cabela’s and another Walmart in Hayden Lake. There was a Dollar store right by the Bank, now it’s an antique shop and there is still a thrift store right by the antique shop. Also right across the Bank there was a pet supply shop, then it was a small foods market but then they closed it down. I think all those stores changed to different and better stores to make more money for the city of Post Falls, such as the new Burger King and the new Wal-mart by Cabela’s and in Hayden Lake. Because these stores opened, it has created better jobs for the city in Post Falls.

LEADERS: Who fills the real bill?
As this will be the most important election in the history of our republic, I would like to ask my fellow Americans to consider four kinds of leaders.
SCHOOLS: Merit pay slap in face
have taught at Lake City High School for 13 years. On Tuesday, I attended one of the saddest staff meetings of my career. We learned that the “MERIT PAY” under LUNA’S PROP 2, calculated based on last year’s test scores, has been announced to districts. Some schools in our district will receive their “full share,” nearly $4,000 per teacher. Some schools receive half that, others a quarter, and most notably, are the schools that will receive “0.”
PROPS: Both sides miss point
It is unfortunate that neither side of the debate on Props 1, 2, 3 ever really discuss a fundamental part of K-12 education.

Employers want reform
When the court-mandated curtain went up on Idaho businesses that put their money where their future is, there was no call for shame or explanations.
Bonus plan angers teachers
Educators learn of 'unfair' distribution
COEUR d'ALENE - Teachers in the Coeur d'Alene School District found out Tuesday just how much, or how little, they will be receiving as bonuses under the state's pay-for-performance plan, and many of them aren't happy about it.
Spears, Odom face test of live TV on 'X Factor'
LOS ANGELES - Britney Spears was coolly composed on the first live episode of "The X Factor." The same can't be said for new host Khloe Kardashian Odom and her microphone.
UNION: Not the monster you think
Question: If the Idaho teachers’ unions are so incredibly powerful, how come Idaho teachers are the second lowest paid public school teachers in the country? It’s a fact. We’re 49th out of all 50 states in teacher pay. Even Mississippi treats its teachers better.

Greek society showing the effects of ongoing economic crisis

OBAMA: Reminds reader of Zippy
In 1968, I was an infantryman in Vietnam. During this time we got a new commanding officer, Zippy, yes that’s what we called him. To be honest, I have no idea what his name was.
Luna laws built on myths, lies
I understand you must promote the anti-union mantra of your boss - although it is getting a bit repetitious, as well as boring, to read your weekly "unions are the root of all badness" routine. Your recent editorial promoting Luna's laws shows you are fairly in the dark about how things really happen. Please use caution, as your column has a Luna-like problem with accuracy, which could be taken as a problem with truth.
PROPS: Defining the status quo
A lot has been said this election cycle implying that those against Propositions 1, 2 and 3 are merely defending the status quo, and that those defenders are primarily teachers. It is important to remember that the current status quo is called No Child Left Behind. It is also interesting that after more than a decade of this far reaching federal mandate, crafted and approved by Congress with virtually zero input from teachers, that teachers are now being blamed for the results.
Reform bolsters tech workforce
Having a steady supply of tech professionals is essential to growing Idaho technology companies. The Idaho Technology Council (ITC) understands the urgent need to grow a strong future workforce - and that starts by bolstering Idaho's education system. Students Come First is the series of education reform initiatives on the ballot for voters, and the ITC Board of Trustees recommend a vote of "yes" on all three initiatives.

Romney and Obama: I'm the candidate for change
DOSWELL, Va. - Five days before the election, Republican challenger Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama vied forcefully for the mantle of change Thursday in a country thirsting for it after a painful recession and uneven recovery, pressing intense closing arguments in their unpredictably close race for the White House. Early voting topped 22 million ballots.
OBAMA: Assaulted by a pack of lies
Two letters printed in The Press on Oct. 24, at first glance might seem like just more of the same. But it was more of the same that finally broke the camel’s back. Lies continue to be piled on lies concerning our president. One of these two letter writers believes, apparently, that the president is against not only guns, but anything and anyone connected to them. Owners of guns, ammunition, you name it. He trots out 10 points to make his case, none of them credible.
LEVY: It's the best fire option
I live in the Northern Lakes Fire District and will be voting “Yes” on the permanent override levy. During the past 10 years, there has been a significant increase in fire and medical calls due to a large increase in population.
