It's all about the wine

As the transition to synthetic closures on wine bottles whether they be the twist cap Stelvin, or any number of synthetic and even glass "corks" continues for many the debate still rages over the implications of a bottle sealed with something other than real cork. We have long felt that the lack of a cork closure does steal some of the ambience of opening a wine bottle but as this evolution continues what we have really found is it all comes down to what is in the bottle not what seals it.

Rehabilitation for the injured worker

Worker Rehabilitation is a specialized field of rehabilitation that focuses on treating patients with work-related injuries. Rehabilitation professionals have treated injured workers for decades. In recent years, however, there has been an increase in the involvement and focus of the clinical management of injured workers. Rehabilitation professionals are now, closely involved with the clinical management of the injured worker from the acute stage in the rehabilitation process through return to work. This involvement in specialized return to work programs and the determination of the readiness of return to work has created a niche to effectively and safely assist in the return of an injured worker to gainful employment.

George Roger LeGore, 70

George Roger LeGore, age 70, passed away peacefully in Phoenix, Ariz., on Sunday, Sept. 16, 2012, surrounded by his loving family.  He was born on June 16, 1942, to George W. LeGore and Phyllis LeGore (Holland) in Coeur d'Alene, where he graduated from high school and married Leila Parker. He pursued and lived out his dreams with his long career as a radio announcer. On the radio airwaves, he was known as Charlie Dee broadcasting on stations ranging from news to an array of music formats throughout the Inland Empire, although his passion was always rock ‘n’ roll. His hobbies included being an avid collector of radio memorabilia, vinyl albums and records, and amassing an impressive collection of old-time radio shows. He was a loving husband and father who had a love for all animals and could usually be seen with a cherished pet in tow. George and his wife eventually moved from the area to retire in Phoenix.

VOTE: You'll elect a Caesar

The presidential Election Day is almost here. Looking at both candidates, I was having a hard judgment call. With Mitt Romney, I disagree with a lot of his issues and the fact that he is of the Mormon religion; of which he has a right to choose. Looking to President Obama, I am not sure if he has a religion. In our great country it is his right to not have one. I strongly oppose many of his issues, especially his vast spending of our tax dollars.

Times to beat

There is no way to get around it. The cardiovascular component of exercise is what we need to do everyday, 30 minutes a day, no matter what. It is the aerobic part of our program. It takes time to do it, because you need to keep your heart rate above a certain level for the entire 30 minutes. Many of my patients say to me that they walk back and forth to their car everyday from work, or they walk the kids to school or take the stairs instead of the elevator and think this is enough cardiovascular exercise. These are all good things, but they are not enough. They are not an aerobic exercise that benefits your heart and lungs as we need to everyday. They burn some calories, but they do not have the time frame and rate of exertion at a consistent level that is necessary.

Perhaps the most insidious and diabolical changes ever made to governments in history began with the dubious or even patently false claim that something is broken and needs to be fixed.

This is to build public acceptance that all will be lost if change is not had. The phrase "If it isn't broken, government will fix it until it is" is an observation of the tactic in use.

Bush Jr. said repeatedly they were not even looking for him, while many more hundreds or thousands lost their home due to the bank fraud and are homeless as a result of it, then after foreclosing on all those homes, the banks got the bailout, not the people who only got to pick up the tab and pay for something they never got.

Hayden Meadows is a PYP (primary years program) school. PYP is the elementary school version of the IB (International Baccalaureate) program.

IDAHO: State misses the call

The thing that was so clear to me was that the majority of these careless people were driving in the precise manner that I watched for in my former job as a policeman when looking for drunk drivers.

In regard to the letter written by Dina Fish under the headline “ATHEISTS: The light is shining,” I would like to comment that you have shed light on only one-half of the story. Yes, God did create us in His image, and He created us perfect. However He created us with the choice to be obedient or not. Since we, mankind, chose to be disobedient, sin came into the world and as a result we are separated from God because He cannot condone sin.

SCHOOLS: Support those offering choice

The Coeur d’Alene School District has implemented a cutting edge approach to education which is being recognized nationwide as preferred by parents and students. We have schools of choice.

ELECTION: So much at stake

Perhaps mine is a voice from the “wilderness,” but I feel that voice is better than no voice heard at all. Time is running out on the decision to change the political direction of our great nation. Almost three years ago I began to form an opinion on the “change” our current president introduced to the people of this nation. It is briefly outlined below in this letter.

GNOSTIC: No, it isn't right

Dina Fish (Sept. 7) seems to have settled into a designer life. “I for one am Gnostic due to the fact that it’s right for me.” Not that it’s right, you understand, but it’s right for ME; right or wrong it’s what makes me comfortable. And small wonder — Gnosticism separates people into the select few who receive special knowledge (gnosis), a lower class who must be content with mere faith and the lowest class who are preoccupied with worldly cares. Fish has selected the highest class due to the fact that it’s right for her. A little ego showing there?

OBAMA: In this together

“It’s you, the American people who give me hope!” President Obama exclaimed in his acceptance speech to run for a second term. PROGRESS has been a theme at the Democratic convention; giving respect to the hard-work and self-responsibility that characterize the American people. Also understanding that we are in this together and when the middle class advances we are all better off.

DEMS: The next civil war

An article in The Press from the Sept. 6 (World/Nation) section heading reads, “Democrats change platform to include God and Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.” The embarrassing reversal was compounded by chaos and uncertainty on the convention floor.

WANTED: One humane cat-catcher

You had a nice article about KHS. But I have a complaint. I went in a year ago to see about getting help with some pregnant cats that had been dropped off at our road three years ago. Well I’m loaded with cats: three litters this year. Anyway, when I asked if they knew of anyone who would help me live trap them the lady said they don’t do anything with farrow/barn cats. She handed me a pamphlet with the spay/neuter prices. I tried to tell her I can’t catch them and even if I could, on SS I couldn’t afford it. She basically fluffed me off.

DEMS: Some expensive wind

A couple of weeks ago we had a hurricane that cost millions of dollars in damage to the gulf coastal area. It was a strong wind and a lot of rain. Now for just a few hundred mils we had the Democratic convention that was full of hot air and B.S. and will cause trillions of dollars of damage to the U.S.A.

CHALLENGE: Be patient, people

I read “Challenged completed,” the story of Nick Maniscalco walking 365 miles in 365 days after surviving a traumatic brain injury in 2008, in Saturday’s Press and a heart-warming story it was.

VANISHED: Maybe the owl did it

A good 80 percent of what is being tossed out as “trash,” i.e. plastics, cardboard, newspaper, metal etc., can and should be recycled. I contacted the governor’s office about this situation but have yet to hear back from them. We shouldn’t need more acreage. What we need is a convenient way to recycle.
