Unfurl the sails of thought

It came as quite a shock to our Press editor.

Get tough on crime, not on gun owners

I have read all the letters people have sent in making known their opinions about guns in America. Some of those letters have some merit, and some don't make any sense at all.

Reflections on an empty inaugural address

The following thoughts were prompted by remarks made by the President in his Inaugural address. His statements have given pause both for optimism and concern. My concern is that many people of liberal thought blindly embraced all the issues he presented as being good for America. We do not take time to examine thoroughly all sides of an issue. Our educational institutions put more emphasis on what to think rather than how to think. This is true of both secular institutions and many religious colleges and seminaries. The result is a high percentage of graduates are brainwashed. They turn out to be rubber stamped clones of what to think and believe by their favorite professors and institutions. They haven't learned how to come to reasonable conclusions on issues regarding philosophy, psychology, theology, and politics. Too many educators do not emphasize the importance of challenging their students how to think by the gaining of information through the free exchange of ideas for the purpose of discovering TRUTH. When we learn how to think: knowledge, wisdom, and common sense combined with experience will help us come to right conclusions.

ADHD drugs perform better than assumed

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects an average 9 percent of U.S. children between ages 5 and 17, making it one of the most common childhood disorders. Because children affected by ADHD experience problems staying focused, hyperactivity, and disruptive/aggressive behavior, they are likely to fall behind at school and display risky behavior as teenagers. While such drugs as methylphenidate (Ritalin) may help children with ADHD concentrate better and control impulsivity, some argue that the prescription stimulants transform children into "robots" or "drug them into acquiescence." However, the latest research on the matter reveals that the ADHD children themselves do not agree. Many say that they still are the same people but they "just act a little better."

It is a connective tissue/inflammatory disorder that can harm multiple systems such as the joints, muscles, digestion, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, skin, blood vessels, and nervous system. It is a condition of hyper-reactivity to something by the immune system and is typically treated by conventional medical doctors by suppressing immune function. This may cause it to go into "remission," where symptoms are not so pervasive, however, it does not address why the immune system is responding that way.

INITIATIVE: Keep it intact for Idaho

Idaho’s legislative maneuver (SB 1108) to increase the degree of difficulty in qualifying a citizen initiative runs counter to principles of democracy and fairness. The Idaho Farm Bureau, which seeks to require a minimum signature threshold in a majority of state legislative districts, simply wants to make the initiative process unusable, and to dominate the discussion of its issues at the state capitol.

PRESS: Clarify cardboard caper

Bales, bales, where are the bales? The article in Section C of Wednesday’s paper had me wondering if we had thieves stealing from thieves. The article was titled, “Cardboard bales stolen again.” Were previously stolen bales stolen again from the original thieves? Wow! The economy is bad but I guess I didn’t realize just how bad.

AGENDA: Beware march of liberals

Liberals continue to distort the facts. The only proposed plan to change Social Security was to modify the formulas and raise the early and full retirement ages for people under the age of 55. If that isn’t done, SS will not be unable to continue as it is now because retirees are living longer and the money doesn’t add up.

COLUMN: Partisan but no Pulitzer

I see my favorite Democrat is still exercising his single digit IQ on the readers of this paper. The article Jimmy Pappas wrote in the opinion column of the Feb. 20 copy roamed from watching movies to the 2nd Amendment and ill-conceived comments that were not researched i.e., 100 round magazines for AR-15s. Then he launched into his favorite subject; bashing Republicans.

TAX: Don't hurt property owners

The current debate over the elimination of the personal property tax (which I have paid for the past 20 years) has avoided discussing one element, maybe purposely. I read an article about Ground Force paying in the neighborhood of $15,000 a year and that it would be nice if it would be repealed. How many customers do you think they have in Idaho, if any? The profits they collect through the sale of their products are derived from outside this state.

PRESS: Clearly identify opinion

The Coeur d’Alene Press routinely provides opportunities for Kootenai County residents to write opinion pieces on a wide variety of topics. That is a basic tenet of community journalism, and should be applauded. They are, normally, identified as opinion pieces, another basic tenet of journalism.

GIFT: Good deed sets hearts aflame

My niece and neighbor walked up to trading company recently to buy valentine candy for their class. They barely had enough money so the gentleman behind them in line paid for them. The girls say he was a firefighter and we would like to say thank you so much. He didn’t have to do such a good deed but didn’t even blink an eye to cover their bill. Thank you whoever you are.

The distinction is so relevant that the state of Idaho requires that an informative brochure detailing "Agency Law" is presented to all parties of a real estate transaction, "at the first substantial business contact."

REFORM: Voters should feel insulted

Attention Idaho voters: Your legislators think you are stupid. After you overwhelmingly voted down the Luna Laws in the last election, they did not take your “no” as a “no.” They assumed you poor simpletons misunderstood, so they are now repackaging most of those rejected laws—omitting Luna’s name whenever possible—in hopes that your miniscule minds might get it right this time. At the very least they are confident that with some rewording you won’t recognize what you’ve seen before. They believe that by removing their poorly planned measure on technology you won’t spot the other poor plans they are re-offering, and you can also expect them to try the tricks of the D.C. politicians they supposedly despise, like attaching bills you don’t want to those you do.

CUTS: They're not for everybody

A cut, cut here and a cut, cut there and a cut, cut everywhere — EXCEPT cuts in the salaries, benefits and travel expenses of the members of Congress and the state legislators. Wonder why?

DOGS: Little effort goes a long way

Responsible dog owners, take note.

SCHOOLS: A sterling example

What if Idaho would fund all public schools so they would be like the Boise Catholic schools (Statesman 2/1/13)? Mr. Luna and the legislature have reduced education funding thus overcrowding classrooms, overloading, demoralizing and emasculating teachers, forcing them to compete against each other for monetary reward and to teach to tests, making them work in run-down buildings with minimal equipment. Does this negligence matter?

That said, the amount of the levy is still too low since it does not fully fund even the current needs of the District.

POSTAL: Keep Saturday delivery

The announcement to end Saturday delivery of mail by August 5 is an unnecessary and negative procedure in order to save money.

This loss in service would disproportionately affect the elderly, rural communities and small businesses.

We live very close to where the current poached deer have been found, and though I don’t agree at all with the fact they’re being left for dead, I completely support whoever is getting rid of these deer as they’re a complete nuisance around here just like the wolves are in other areas. We have had several years worth of meetings with Dalton City Hall about how something needs to be done about this epidemic, and they offer no solutions and not much more than an attitude of “quit your whining, we think they’re cute.” They destroy almost everything my parents and neighbors plant for livelihood. I’ve hit one and have to spend about $100 I don’t have to replace my headlight. They are as prevalent around here as rats in NYC and they need to be stopped as they just keep breeding.

No vulgarity, nudity, or violence. When they finally kissed, they walked up the steps on the Cruise Ship where you could only see their legs, but not them kissing. Those were the Golden Days of Class, respect, and strict morals.

COLLEGE: Find more ways to pay

As a senior at Post Falls high school I believe there should be more options for helping students pay for college. Scholarships and loans are a huge part of kids being able to get into a school. Some kids don’t even qualify for loans. How do people expect kids to get into a school if they can’t pay? I think there needs to be more options before applying and different ways to pay for college tuition.

TRUSTEE: Here's the bottom line

I am a third generation Coeur d’Alene native and, proudly, a fourth generation educator. My mother, Betty McLain, was a longtime servant of Coeur d’Alene, first as a district teacher, followed by a long career at North Idaho College and, in retirement, a member of multiple community boards, including the NIC board for years.

RIP: Thank you to Annie

I was saddened to hear of Robin Ann “Annie” Davis’s passing. She was ornery and full of life and love for the dogs, especially her Basenjis. She was a county 4-H dog leader back when I started my leader training in the early ‘90s, and taught my sons Jason and Markie, and my daughter Sarah to Fit and Show. I went on to start many show dogs under her, and helped her a number of years to teach Show, Handling, and Obedience classes. Many others in our area have either gotten their show careers or those of their dogs started under Annie.

TAXES: Make up your mind, Idaho

It seems the only requirement to be elected in Idaho is to be a mathematically challenged Republican. I speak of the push to get rid of the corporate personal property tax, which would blow a $141 million hole in local county budgets. This money would go right to education and local services, but it seems corporations deserve a free ride while the average citizens pick up that tab in the form of “local option” sales taxes, increased school levies, and higher property taxes.

I have listened to three presentations by Steven Ames and I have little disagreement with the end result of visioning that he is marketing.

He painted a picture of a community where mutual trust, respect and openness bring members to the same table to share their thoughts openly with an expectation of making a difference. Clearly, that does not describe where I live. I would love to live in such a place. In fact, I would enthusiastically support reasonable and responsible efforts to achieve it.

Why Europe matters

Recent press by both large and small news organizations has talked about the influx of and dropping prices on European wines. Driven by shrinking wine consumption in the "old world" and increased competition from around the globe, we are seeing producers in France, Italy and Spain increasingly target the U.S. market, and doing so with compelling pricing. We get asked from time to time: "Why does Europe matter?" The sub text of that question is understandable. We have great domestic producers including some right here in our own "neighborhood." So why do we even care about the wines from overseas?

Hitting, kicking, yes, spitting are just some of the things our teachers must endure while caring for the little darlings.

Physical therapy to treat sciatica

Sciatica is caused when the muscles in the hip place pressure on the sciatic nerve, which can cause excruciating pain. The sciatic nerve is a major nerve the travels the full length of the body, following the lumbar region of the back and down the leg all the way to the foot. Typically this nerve does not trouble people, but it is vulnerable to pressure due to its path though the hip. In many cases physical therapy will result in effective and long-lasting pain relief.

Hacking away at pneumonia

Angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitor drugs prescribed to treat hypertension are known to produce a dry, hacking cough as a side effect in some cases, which leads many to switch to another medication. As it turns out, however, this drug-induced, persistent cough may provide a benefit that may have some patients thinking twice about switching to other medications that lower blood pressure. According to an analysis of 37 studies, researchers found that patients taking ACE inhibitors were 34 percent less likely to develop pneumonia, which is a significant cause of hospitalization and death among seniors who typically take ACE inhibitors. Older patients who take ACE inhibitors should consult with their physicians before deciding to switch to an alternative.

EXCHANGE: One size doesn't fit all

It is critical for Idaho to support Governor Otter’s recommendation to create a state-based health insurance exchange. The new law gives us no choice. We will have an exchange, either federal or state-based. Idahoans can design a state-based exchange to fit Idaho’s unique needs, or endure a federal exchange that will be “one- size-fits-all.” As a physician, I communicate with insurance companies to make sure my patients get care. Under a federal exchange, anytime my patient is denied payment for a medication, X-ray or lab test, my only option will be to call a federal “1-800 number” and talk to a stranger (if I get to talk to a human at all).

What are your numbers?

No, I don't mean your phone number or your age either. I mean, your health care numbers, which are the markers of how healthy you really are. These are the numbers you should know every year when you get your yearly physical. Don't tell me you don't have one of those either. All of us, regardless of our age, should know our health numbers. They help us keep track of and assess how we are doing toward our health care goals each year.

The average rate for 30 year loans backed by the Federal Housing Administration rose from 3.48 percent to 3.53 percent Mortgage applications rose too, up 3.4 percent last week. It seems that buyers are seeing the light; that waiting to make a purchase means paying more in the long run for homes.

REMARK: Is there an agenda here?

When a person makes a lousy joke, that’s a momentary lapse in judgment. When that person’s momentary lapse in judgment is featured on the front page of a newspaper, that’s a well thought out agenda!

VETS: Heads up to their spouses

I recently lost my retired vet who was 100 percent disabled. Upon filling out the paperwork at the VA Outreach, they informed me it could take up to 9 months to see benefits and the same possibly with SS. I then asked how a spouse is supposed to pay the bills and he shook his head.

REMARKS: Yes, they're offensive

I am writing this letter regarding the Press article on the legislative forum held in Post Falls. I found the remarks of Rep. Frank Henderson and CDA School Board Member Brent Regan offensive and totally lacking in respect for the President of the United States.

REMARK: Stop playing race card

I have been reading with interest the letters in your paper for some time now and have wanted to send something in but have hesitated for 2 reasons. (1) Most of the stuff is so ridiculous, absurd and brainless it is not worth dignifying. (2) I figured it would not be printed anyway.

WALK: And **** all the dog ****

You dog owners who do not carry bags and refuse to take the 10 seconds it takes to pick up after your dog are Morons, with a capital M. Do you consider that people, including children, walk on these pathways and in the parks? They play and accidentally step in YOUR dog’s **** and take it, on their shoes, into their cars and home to their carpets.

COMIC: This one gets failing grade

The Funnies Page last Saturday included the “comic strip” F minus. It was not funny by any stretch of imagination. Apparently some comic strip writers, much like many stand up comedians, cannot think of anything humorous unless it involves a bodily elimination function. I think that you could find another strip that actually makes a person laugh when they read it.

EMERGENCY: But help is all around

I was enjoying an evening at a local restaurant on Feb. 1, and a woman beside me fell sick suddenly. Within five minutes she began to lose consciousness. One man jumped up and assisted by calling 911. Another man immediately moved in to assist and a doctor did not hesitate a second, delegating to have her moved to the floor to treat her while his wife ran to bring him his stethoscope from the car.

GLADYS: A great friend to students

POEM: Summit is the solution

GUNS: Ban any weapon you want

Am I missing something? I don’t understand why we as a nation aren’t having the most obvious argument about gun control. Instead, all I see in the news is either a person with a picket sign claiming it’s their right or the NRA saying we should have guns in schools. Who knows what politicians will do or say next?

PROBLEMS: Don't blame our officials

Kudos to Mr. Begovich for correctly identifying the source of man’s problems, but he had no right to take public officials to task for not acknowledging that source publicly. While the source is indeed spiritual and is immune to any solution which is not itself Spiritual, we have to recognize that framers of the constitution forbid government officials from the establishment of one religion over another in order to insure and protect individual choice. In reality, that means that folks are constitutionally free to publicly worship satan if they so choose. And many do choose, but not publicly — not yet. Jesus said in Lk. 11:23 that: “He that is not with Me is against Me...” No middle ground here.

Sunless Gloom: Seasonal Affective Disorder, Part I

Seasonal Affective Disorder, aka: "S.A.D," (not to be confused with, but related to, the Standard American Diet, which also uses the acronym "S.A.D."), is the term given to the feelings of gloominess, depression, sadness and melancholy when the sun doesn't shine enough. It's very typical for this time of year, winter, when a ceiling of clouds greets us when we arise in the morning and continues throughout the day, for days on end.

Ramen Noodle make over

Ah, Ramen Noodles. These little bags or cups of dried noodles with soup-flavored powders are cheap and easy to prepare, making them a favorite must-have for most college students. Ramen is an ideal food for the dorm room because you just add hot water and have an instant meal in three minutes. Around 94 billion servings of Ramen Noodles are consumed, worldwide, every year. Unfortunately, these little packages contain around 400 calories, 14 grams of fat (mostly the bad kind) and very little fiber. The average American should consume around 2,300-2,400mg of salt a day. Ramen clocks in at a whopping 1000 per serving, or 2000 per package. Even though there are two servings per package or cup, most people eat the whole package. There is not a lot of nutritional bang for your buck.

87 percent

Made it, 27 out of 31 days in the month of January with 60 minutes of exercise. Not an "A," but remember perfection is not the goal. Increasing our time frames for exercise and making a commitment toward our health is the goal for the year. And 87 percent is a good start. So how is your start for the New Year going? What is your goal for your kids and family? You need a plan.

Can dental implants benefit you?

Chances are that either you or someone you know has a dental implant. That is to be expected because implants are, more and more frequently, becoming the treatment of choice for a variety of dental issues. There are two main reasons that people undergo dental implant therapy: to replace single teeth, and to increase denture stability. These two treatments have, over the years, not only changed how we practice dentistry, but have also brought about an equally profound change in the lives of patients around the world.

LETTER: Good enough to retype

I would like to compliment Mr. Roger Argo, of Dalton Gardens, for his letter to the editor Jan. 23. Mr. Argo’s letter had two redeeming features: 1. It was short, and 2. It was an original thought. Even though his logic — to compare automobiles to assault weapons was a bit moronic — he should get an “attaboy” for attempting satire.

Thanks to your trustee Regan, racism is once again, alive and well in Cd’A, Idaho.

ABORTION: A squandered asset

Since 1973 about 50 million abortions have taken place. In just 40 years, roughly 50 million people don’t exist. To put this in terms of the economy, there are taxpayers who are not paying their fair share of the tax burden or contributing to social services, people who could have been doctors, engineers, scientists, teachers, people who would have helped to fill in the shortages upcoming with Obamacare. Therefore we are paying for abortion twice, whether privately or with government funds, and through the loss of uncollected taxes.

Interest rates rise again

Those who have been thinking of buying real estate take note. Last week marked the third consecutive week of rate increases for mortgage loans.

Should the market falter however, as some predict, investors are likely to seek the safety offered by mortgage and Treasury bonds which would stabilize rates once again.

After reading what Brent Regan’s WIFE said, “President Obama is black and dangerous” we cannot see that there is anything, whatsoever, wrong with the statement. It is true and wasn’t denigrating to the President or Mr. Obama. What is wrong with the truth? Why are you all in such a “tizzy” over something like this, a simple remark not even made by Mr. Regan? You should all pay much more attention to the multitudes of child molesters in our Kootenai County neighborhoods and to the numerous bullies in the classrooms. This is a ridiculous waste of the school board’s time and energy focusing on a non-issue.

REGAN: Remark wasn't racist

I am really getting sick and tired of certain individuals and groups turning almost every negative comment about Obama into something “racist.” If you don‘t agree with what he and his administration are spouting you are obviously a racist, they say. We have been hearing this crap for way too long.

REGAN: Response an over-reaction

Heavens to Betsy, the sky is falling! Someone dared to make a joke that wasn’t approved by the thought and public relations police. Maybe there should be a grand inquisition, why not criminal charges, and certainly an immediate, voluntary resignation from his school trustee position.

MOM: Don't blame the schools

Is Monique Freeman for real? How could you possibly blame the school for what you failed to do at home? If my child was in a classroom with a child that is continually “disruptive” I would insist that the administrators remove and place him somewhere more appropriate (most would probably like to lock him in a closet).
