SCARY: A future with Mayor Mary

It’s Halloween week, and as I sit contemplating all things scary, I can think of nothing more frightful than the prospect of having Mary Souza as the “leader” of our community for the next four years! Her negativity, divisiveness, and “don’t confuse me with the facts” attitude are terrifying, to say the least. While she masquerades as a “person of the people,” time and again she has proven herself incapable of working with others in any constructive way. Her “victim” mentality leads her to constantly imply that there are conspiracies everywhere.

SOUZA: Will be a great mayor

Mad Mary! Huh? Well, a lot of us are MAD as hell and are trying not to take it anymore. I know Mary Souza personally and think she will make a great

ADAM: He puts people first

Putting the people of Coeur d’Alene first, this is a strong and true statement. Noel Adam has been recognized both in the field of real estate and his military experience (22 years) for his ability to work with his real estate customers and peers and all levels of military personnel. I have worked with Noel for 30 years in the real estate field, I know that his is hard working and honest. These are traits that we need to have us represented on the city council. I encouraged Noel to run for the city council position because I know of his credentials, and his ability to work with people. I am asking you to vote for Noel Adam. He has great leadership and communication skills and will provide the necessary leadership to include all the citizens’ concerns of City Coeur d’Alene.

WIDMYER: Will champion the arts

I have been involved with the arts my whole life. One of the things which attracted my husband Jack and I to Coeur d’Alene was the theatre and other avenues of artistic expression. Any community is a far more vibrant place with a strong arts and culture component. We have seen many young actors, musicians, and other artists progress on to national renown.

WAGNER: Proven as commissioner

I am writing in support of Paul Wagner in his bid to be re-elected Fire Commissioner in Post Falls. Paul has been a long time friend and neighbor, and his integrity and care for the community have always been strong. Three years ago he was elected to the Commission, and he has been diligent in making sure the people of Post Falls have the best fire protection possible.

EVANS: For a bright future

Over the past years, I’ve had the honor of working side by side with Amy Evans, supporting causes and planning events for Sorensen Elementary. In my opinion, Amy is a true leader. She has the vision, wisdom, and abundant creative energy to accomplish any task with remarkable success. More importantly, however, she openly listens to and effectively collaborates with others so that the goal best suits the group involved. As a leader, Amy is respectful and professional. I’m confident Amy will continue to strengthen our extraordinary community for today and the future. Please join me in voting for her on November 5th.

FILLIOS: Will help boost economy

I had an opportunity to watch the Coeur Forum. What impressed me about Chris Fillios is that he answered the questions and confronted the issues facing our City. Because of his education and work experience, including his participation on the Public Policy Committee of the CDA Chamber, Chris will bring a fresh perspective to the City Council and truly help move our City forward with greater economic growth. We’ve heard much talk of economic growth, but few candidates over the years have demonstrated a real desire in focusing our resources to attract higher wage employment. Chris knows where to focus and I believe he’ll form the necessary coalition to achieve greater prosperity for ALL residents of CDA.

ELECTION: Just do your part

Local election voting is about to take place in Coeur d’Alene. After careful consideration and an analytical assessment of all the information made available on each candidate it appears likely that the four best people for the city council and mayoral positions would be:

RUBIN: Friend of the taxpayer

For this election, it’s time to fish or cut bait. Barry Rubin has the intellect and desire to change the direction of Post Falls government.

MILLER: History of civic activism

Kiki Miller and I go way back to the Cd’A Chamber of Commerce days in the 1980s. She was then the young spark that made things happen for many community programs and projects. Her enduring enthusiasm, creativity, and good will got things done and done well. She remains involved in the community as one of those folks who use positive energy to persevere and bring about positive results.

SOUZA: She's earned trust

I’ve been a lifelong resident of beautiful Coeur d’Alene and have been privileged to know Mary Souza. Mary was on the city’s planning and zoning commission when I first met her. I attended one of their meetings, as my oldest daughter was speaking on an issue important to her neighborhood. It was my first introduction to LCDC Urban Renewal. They discussed the ornamental fencing and other projects they would be funding for developers with property tax monies collected from taxpayers.

We wanted to raise our children in the same great community that we had grown up in, so we packed up and moved back to Coeur d’Alene.

A 'dust-up' in the wine world

Recently, iconic importer Kermit Lynch out of California was profiled in the New York Times Magazine. Kermit has been importing great European wines since the 1970s - his palate is extraordinary and beyond challenge, as are his wine knowledge and the caliber of wine he traffics in. A contemporary of culinary giants like Alice Waters, Wolfgang Puck and Jeremiah Tower, Kermit was doing wine long before it enjoyed the status it does today here in the States. This depth of experience only gives him more credibility when it comes to wine. Kermit Lynch-imported wines are available here in North Idaho, and many of you have probably had them either from the dinner party or local restaurants. They are some of our best sellers!

There is no question that small town politics can be a blood sport.

However, I simply do not believe that as a group, our city council members and the mayor have actively conspired to deprive us of our rights while simultaneously lining their own pockets.

Closed for the season ... reason: freezin'

My Garden Path

I hate to say it, but we've come to the end of another garden season here in North Idaho. The good news was that we had a nice spring ... unlike the previous two which stretched cold and wet all through June. The bad news was that we didn't get quite as much nice fall weather this time. Instead, it turned cold and wet for much of it, then frosted here and there before getting nice again. Just like farmers, we always hope next year will be better.

He served in the Vietnam conflict as a member of the 4th infantry. He moved to Coeur d'Alene 10 years ago to enjoy a life of retirement and easy prospecting in the Coeur d'Alene National Forest. He worked as a maintenance and handy man for several elderly locals. His hobbies included gold panning, gold dredging, camping, auto restoration, and mechanical repair. Lee is survived by his sons Shaun, Kent and Daniel, and his grandchildren Tonya, Alexandra, Morgan, Parker, Catherine and Adelaide. He will be sorely missed by his friends, his family, and his community. There is a memorial service taking place at Davis Donuts, his favorite local haunt, on Saturday, October 26th from 2-4pm, all who knew Lee are welcome and encouraged to attend.

Urban renewal: repeal it

The fallacious notion, that Urban Renewal offers any good, needs to be addressed. In a free market capitalist system using the term economic tool and government in the same sentence is oxymoronic. Promoting economic development with tax-increment financing is outside the proper role of government in America. In fact, tax-increment financing allows cities to steal funds that taxpayers think they have dedicated to services, in order to subsidize favored developers, increase municipal budgets, and socially engineer the way we live. This would be the equivalent of the economic component of fascism. This is not good, and has no place in our society.

MEDIA: Room to share blame

Nice of you to include yourself in assigning blame for only the most recent debacle in D.C. to “we the voters.” I agree there’s plenty of blame to go around. How about the non-voters? But really, how could you have overlooked your far greater culpability as a member of the mainstream media that’s been guiding society for years, telling us what values are “correct,” and even who to vote for? “The media is the massage.”

SCHOOLS: Drop in and look around

My children are grown and I have no grandchildren but if I did I would be scared to death to have my children going to public school these days. I would pull them out and try and find an alternative source for them to get an education. These teachings will change history as we know it. I’ve already heard one thing that they’re pushing, they’re saying the Pilgrims were terrorists. Its also getting information on your family that is really no ones business under the constitution, making your children robots.

AMERICANS: Don't hyphenate people

Theodore Roosevelt once said: “There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities … The men who do not become Americans and nothing else are hyphenated Americans; and there ought to be no room for them in this country.”

OBAMA: Criticism doesn't equal racism

OK people, let’s try to get this straight once and for all. A black president was inevitable, just as a female president is inevitable. Sooner or later both were going to happen. I am sick and tired of those mindless hacks who want to accuse anyone and everyone who disagrees with Obama of being racist. There ARE other reasons for disagreeing with a president besides the color of his skin.

I enjoy speaking with the fishermen returning or just enjoying the beauty. But to my surprise the gate was closed with a sign saying the government shutdown as the reason.

Being bullied, teased, harassed or intimidated by a friend is hurtful and often has lifelong effects. Everyone has a story of being teased for having red hair, blonde hair, green hair or no hair.

Spinal Decompression Treatment

Spinal Decompression Treatment is non-invasive and provides gentle decompression of the disc through the use of a decompression table. You are strapped to the table so that as it moves, it applies a distraction force to the targeted area of the spine (the compressed disc). This gently pulls the spine apart, elongating it and creating a small vacuum between the vertebrae that pulls the disc back into shape.

ELECTION: Two distinct choices

A group of individuals in this city have helped to create an atmosphere of anger, distrust, and negativity. They have spread false information, repeating it even after being shown they are wrong. They have made unfounded accusations of corrupt and criminal activity about local elected officials, city employees, and hardworking local business owners. They have approached potential projects within the city with negativity, looking for reasons not to move ahead rather than how to get them done. If this group had been successful there would be no new library, no Kroc Center, and no upgraded park.

GOP: Doomed by the tea party

Wait a minute! I thought Idaho didn’t want anything from the federal government, including their money. Now that it’s cut off because of some wacko in Texas, his cohorts, and their puppet Boehner, they’re starting to worry. I have an idea, let’s take the money we’re not getting and “don’t want” from the government and replace it with the sports budget in all the schools. That’s right, cancel all sporting events until the “boo-hoo we lost” Congress decides that they can’t win (again).

We are on the streets serving you proudly everyday with an eye toward making our community safer through training, education and job proficiency. That’s our focus. Unfortunately, we don’t feel that focus is shared by all of the candidates. That’s why we feel the Nov. 5 election is so vital to our community.

LCDC: Agency grade is C-

The “My Turn” commentary on Oct. 11 by Tony Berns (LCDC) is self-serving and almost solicitous at best. Tony takes great pride in scoring his management and the success of LCDC as an “A,” but the track record and overall results only rate a score of a C-. Yes, LCDC is needed, but what could have transpired since 1997, and what actually has transpired, leaves a great deal to be desired.

Doris O. Hagan, 91

Doris O. Hagan was born October 2nd, 1922 to Oliver and Phoebe Vierkandt in Hope, North Dakota and passed away on October 15th in St. Maries, Idaho. She was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother and friend to anyone who knew her. She lived a remarkably selfless life and left a special imprint on all of those whom she came in contact with. Doris was raised on the family farm and was the eldest sibling to her two sisters, Olive and Shirley. She attended and graduated from Hope High School in 1940. Following high school, she began what would be her lifelong devotion of caring for others as a nursing student at Mercy Hospital in Valley City, North Dakota. She completed her certification with the Class of 1944 and worked at Mercy Hospital as a registered nurse. Soon thereafter, she moved to Port Angeles, Washington and worked as a surgical nurse at Olympic Memorial Hospital. There, she met GordonHagan and the two were married April 26th, 1946. The couple moved to Moscow, Idaho where she worked as a registered nurse and supported her husband while he attended The University of Idaho and completed his Accounting Degree. The two started building a family and made the States of Washington and Alaska their home for short periods before settling down for good in St. Maries, Idaho. Doris was a stay at home mother, taking pride in raising her children and later a grandchild and worked part time for Potlatch Coporation before officially retiring. She was generous with love and her kindness was effortless. Those traits were on display as a member of St. Paul's Luthern Church and The Eagles. She enjoyed reading, gardering, attending her children's and grandchildren's activities and was an avid sports fan who would feverishly root for her beloved Chicago Cubs, Minnesota Vikings and Boston Celtics year round. She is survived by son Greg Hagan of St. Maries, Idaho, daughter Kristi Hagan of Athol, Idaho, son Ed Hagan of St. Maries, Idaho and grandson Jimmy McAndrew of Hayden Lake, Idaho whom she raised after her daughter's passing. Her other family include four grandchildren, a grandaughter-in-law and one great grand child. She was preceded in death by her husband, Gordon Hagan, her daughter, Susie, her parents and both sisters.

A treasured memory is of Eve baking large batches of Christmas cookies for the holidays and sharing them with everyone. She loves Jesus Christ and working in His ministry, encouraging others in The Word and praying with powerful faith for others. She also loved the business of photography taking photos alongside her husband Mike and being involved in many peoples’ special events. Eve and Mike worked hand-in-hand together in all things.

BASEBALL: Struck out on criticism

I like sports. I like baseball. It’s a game I would love to have tried playing in high school except our cows needed to be milked.

SHUTDOWN: Money not well spent

Yeah! The Republicans let the government begin operating again. And, according to Standard and Poors, the shutdown only cost our country $24 billion. That would have fed a lot of hungry people. And yippee! We’ll get to go through this same Tea Party tantrum in about two months.

SHUTDOWN: Bad news for veterans

Just a thought. This administration is spending more on keeping the World War II and the Normandy memorial closed to veterans and those honoring the men and women who gave their lives for this country than it did in securing the safety for those in Benghazi. Instead, we should open up these memorials and save money by canceling the security required at the president’s golf courses.

COLUMN: Offer biblical clarification

Chad, if you are going to denigrate people, and speak with authority, you really should know what it is you are talking about. You said, “He (Jesus) did not say, ‘Who will not work shall not eat.’” Paul, writing directly from the direction of the Spirit of God, said, “If anyone is not willing to work, neither should he eat.” 2 Thess. 3:10. But also check out 2 Thess. 3:8, 2 Thess. 3:2, and many other passages.

SHUTDOWN: Let's take U.S. back

Our federal government was trying to make the federal problems our own personal problems re: Closing federal parks, our heritage and our recreation, etc. Some of the states stepped up to the plate and paid to keep these inherited rights open to us, the taxpaying public. Maybe now is the time for all the states to take full responsibility.

Journey

It was the day before senior pictures at my high school. I was the pitcher for my fast-pitch softball team, and I was on the mound when a ball was hit and took a funny bounce, hitting me right in the lip. Within minutes, my lip had swelled to huge proportions. My first thought was, "There goes my senior pictures." They did senior pictures different then. The photographer came to the school and took pictures of everyone all afternoon.

PF: Elect Thoreson, Rubin, Fleishman

We have two very well qualified persons running for mayor of Post Falls, Kerri Thoreson and Ron Jacobson. Both have a wealth of relevant experience. There are however fundamental differences which point to Thoreson as the superior candidate. First of all, she voted not to increase taxes while Jacobson has always voted for increasing our taxes. We need someone who will find ways to hold the line on taxes especially in our high tax city of Post Falls. Also, Thoreson will be a full-time mayor just as Clay Larkin was while Ron Jacobson will be a full-time vice president of Inland Northwest Bank and only a part-time mayor.

Pumpkin harvesting time

One of the visible signs that autumn is approaching is the arrival of those bright orange orbs we all know as pumpkins. Pumpkins have been in our food supply for thousands of years. The word "pumpkin" comes from the Greek pepon, which means "large melon." While most of us associate pumpkins with the seasonal carving of jack-o'-lanterns, you may not realize the many health benefits of consuming this tasty vegetable.

SENIORS: Plenty of help on hand

I read Sholeh Patrick’s column of Oct. 8 in the Press. It was very informative but there was one thing I do not agree with, about seniors being unseen in society today. I am a senior and I find that people are very considerate and helpful. Young men and older men always hold the door open for me. When I ask them in a grocery store to reach something for me on the top shelf they are more than happy to do it. Maybe there is a difference in the East but here I find it comforting to see men and women helping seniors any way they can.

MILLER: A positive voice for community

As a current owner of several properties and a small business in the city of Coeur d’Alene, I am keenly aware of how lucky we have been to have honest, knowledgeable and concerned people running our city government. As a former director of Downtown CDA, I know the challenges involved in helping businesses succeed. Some very forward-thinking individuals have spearheaded projects, beginning 24 years ago with the physical revitalization of downtown.

EVANS: Time for her youthful energy

When I saw that Amy Evans is running for Coeur d’Alene’s City Council this year, I was relieved. She’s the face of a new generation and of our city’s bright future. I’m ready for a young, energetic force with fresh ideas to help guide our beautiful city’s development and forward progress. Amy has proved her passion for Coeur d’Alene and demonstrated the skills essential to our City Council by leading the charge to save Sorensen Elementary and by serving on the city’s Planning Commission for six years. Neighborhood schools are the foundation of a healthy community. She proved her ability to unite people for the common good by recruiting the Kroc Center’s first 22,000 members and leading Ironman Coeur d’Alene volunteers for 10 years. She was so effective that Ironman named her Volunteer Captain of the Year. She proved her incredible energy by competing in Ironman twice.

Gary Fuller, 76

Fuller, COL (Ret) Gary L., entered eternal life on September 22, 2013. Gary was born August 23, 1937 in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. He retired from the Army as Chief of Staff at Tripler Army Medical Center in 1987.

Caroline Rice Hern, 90

Caroline Rice Hern, a woman of immense grace and dignity, left us on October 1, 2013. Lucid until the end, Caroline never lost her curiosity, humor, graciousness & perspective on life even though she knew she was facing her last hours. Caroline was born on March 22, 1923, beginning her 90+ years of life in Spokane, Washington. Her parents, Stuart Archibald Rice and Hildegarde Schurmeier Rice, raised Caroline on Spokane’s South Hill where she attended Hutton Elementary School. Summers were spent on Coeur d’Alene lake. After her father died when she was 12, Caroline and her mother lived part of the year in California. Caroline graduated from the prestigious Bishop’s School in La Jolla, which was under the auspices of the Episcopal Church and, at that time, only for young women. After high school, Caroline spent two years attending Wellesley College in Wellesley Massachusetts. Her college days were cut short when, in 1942, she married Jack Hern. Caroline met Jack at the wedding of her cousin in St. Paul, Minnesota when she was 16. Caroline was a bride’s maid and it just so happened that Jack, who was attending the University of Minnesota, was the best man. Jack later said that he knew when he first saw Caroline that he wanted to marry her. Caroline and Jack made their homes in Spokane and on Coeur d’ Alene lake. They raised three children, John who predeceased them, Alan and Katherine. From these roots, Caroline had four grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. Jack died in 1996. Caroline was an uncommon person, a throwback to the days when politeness and manners were of paramount importance. She never lost those traits. She was a person of strong beliefs, spiritual and political, but was not one who sought to impose those beliefs on others. One always knew where she stood on issues which she expressed at all times in the nicest of ways, particularly if she thought you might not share her views. For many years, like her mother, Caroline was a member of the Jr. League of Spokane. Showing the breadth of her many interests, she was a knowledgeable and passionate equestrian who rode and raised Morgan horses on her 5 acre farm on Hangman Creek. Caroline was at once intelligent, articulate, humorous, caring, gracious, inquisitive, positive and optimistic. She was extremely creative with a lovely sense of style which encapsulated everything she did from correspondence to interior design to landscaping. Caroline will be missed. The world has lost one of its gems. A memorial service held on Saturday, October 19th, 2013 at 1:00p.m. at the Lincoln Heights Community Church, 3527 E. 29th Avenue, Spokane, Washington 99205.

Betty Hanson, 92

We lost our beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, friend and Child of God October 13, 2013. Betty Hanson was born to Amos and Ruth Leaton December 3, 1920. She had an idyllic childhood in Challis, and went out in the big world to the University of Idaho, where she said the best thing she did there was to meet her future husband, Ivan. They spent their married life, sixty years in Coeur d’Alene. Betty and Ivan had a wonderful circle of cherished friends with whom they celebrated, danced, dined, laughed and played cards. Betty started teaching in 1962, and had to return to school to finish her degree. She traveled to Whitworth, worked hard on her classes; all the while teaching and raising a family. Ivan and Betty attended numerous lumber conferences in San Francisco, Atlanta, Orlando and Betty regaled us with her Lucy-like escapades on the trips. She tackled teaching much like all of the other aspects of her life – with force and personality. She retired with distinction after twenty two years. Betty took care of Ivan in his dementia for four years until she wasn’t able to. Betty was one who never knew a stranger. She made friends with everyone that she came in contact with. She would always tell everyone about her family. She couldn’t have loved us more, and we couldn’t have loved her more. She was intensely proud of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was a faithful member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Coeur d’Alene for sixty years. Betty has many, many lifelong dear friends to whom we know she would send them her love. She moved to Boise in 2009 and lived at the Cottages, near two of her daughters. She loved attending King of Glory Lutheran church, and made fast friends with many of the members there. Betty had a love of all nature, animals, and vistas. She had a wonderful sense of humor and a quick wit. One of her granddaughters said she had the best sense of humor of us all. She had keen powers of perception and a razor sharp memory until the very end. She will be missed, but leaves us a legacy that encourages us to live positively, love our family and especially God, and to love nice clothes. We are most certain that she will be raise up on eagle’s wings to regale others with stories of her family, her life, and her love of God. Betty, during her last days, pointed with her finger to direct us or to show us her love. She often used that finger during her life, as well, to indicate love, to encourage or to direct us. She composed the following a few years before her death:

Berton Van Brunt, 71

July 1, 1942 - September 30, 2013. To the family and friends of Berton Van Brunt (Bert): My husband and dearest friend of 43 years was a humble, genuine man...what you saw and heard is what you got. He loved people from the heart, loved the earth with his soul, and loved Jehovah with both... thus, our love was united. I'm writing this message to help each of us reflect on those we've lost... I know Bert would want us to be fortified and encouraged to rely on every promise from our heavenly father, Jehovah, to be fulfilled. Revelation 21: 1-5 was one of the scriptures he regularly shared with others to give both hope and comfort. He served his community in many ways. As one of Jehovah's Witnesses, he supported the congregation as an elder and servant. He was known for his generosity, compassion and scriptural support. For 28 years, his business, Ferndale Nursery, provided a much needed service. His knowledge and advice in landscape planning and design, plant selection and care coupled with his personal guarantee of satisfaction was his legacy. Please accept our love and great appreciation for all the help, prayers and support we've been given...and a special thank you to Hospice House for the dignified and professional care given to Bert and all their residents. The family of Bert will greatly miss his smile, laughter and love; Rebecca Van Brunt, Mike and Linda Hudson, Justin and Karla Hudson, Eddie Van Brunt (nephew), Jay Hudson (great nephew), and Ashley Hudson (great niece). In lieu of sending flowers to my home or the Kingdom Hall, please donate to Hospice House or an organization of your choice. Memorial service: October 19th at 3 pm at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, 8500 N Ramsey Road, Coeur d’ Alene.

Clarice Vanderbusse, 74

Clarice Ardelle Vanderbusse, age 74 passed away in her sleep on October 11, 2013. Ardelle was born in Crosby, North Dakota on August 9,1939, to Art and Clara Gunderson Listoe. She married “The Love of Her Life”, Aime L. Vanderbusse on December 28, 1958.

Mom had the best sense of humor and could tell a story like no other and she never met a stranger. Many years were spent living in Europe, and many different states while Aime was in the Air Force. After moving to Coeur d’ Alene, Mom began oil and watercolor painting. She also enjoyed playing cards, camping, luncheon dates with her friends and being with her family.

How will the shutdown affect the market

At the time of this writing we are still uncertain of the status of the federal government shutdown but we assume nothing has been resolved to increase the debt limit. Many are asking if their home loans will still go through. The last we were told is that FHA and Veteran's Loans are still being funded. That means that, if you were already approved for financing, your loan will continue to be processed and you will likely meet your closing date. Not so for USDA Rural Development loans. Those loans are reportedly at a standstill until funding is approved by Congress.

Lynnette Ruth DeAbreu, passed peacefully at Life Center in Post Falls, ID on October 6th, 2013. She was born July 15, 1935 in Ridgefield, Washington to Lindley and Roberta Hull and was one of three children. She married Frank X. DeAbreu on March 7th, 1954 and enjoyed 59 years of marriage. Lynne grew up in southwestern Washington State with her brother Jerry and adopted brother Jim. She met Frank in Tucson, AZ in 1953 and built their marriage through time spent together in Omaha NE, Medical Lake WA, Dayton, WA and Onalaska, WA. In addition to being a loving mother of three children, Lynne enjoyed sewing outfits to model in mother/daughter fashion shows and playing the organ at church. While in Dayton, she worked in the school system, teaching English to migrant children and also regularly volunteered at St. Vincent DePaul. Lynne was a kind, generous and intelligent person who loved being with people and sharing stories and conversation. She was an accomplished artist who spent countless hours with a paintbrush in her hand, creating wonderful images of her family members. She had a genuine love for the ocean which was a continual inspiration for her artistic work that was often found in her home and the homes of her family members. Lynne and Frank shared many wonderful memories traveling the world, enjoying cruises to the Caribbean and summers camping near the beach. They also touched the lives of many while acting as annual camp-site hosts at Fort Stevens, OR and Long Beach, WA. Simply being near the ocean seemed to fill Lynne with happiness and joy.

She also shared many memories in the company of her six grandchildren – Brandon, Samantha, Frank Jr., Allan, Ashley and Taylor.

That time of year

A widely agreed upon axiom of the wine industry is that the most expensive "bubbles" you will buy are in the fourth and first quarters of each year. With the Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and other holidays in the fourth and Valentine's Day in the first quarter, the theory is well grounded in fact. Champagne and other sparkling wines are more in demand, and therefore consumers are a bit less price-conscious. After all, at these special times of year, we all want to treat our guests and ourselves to the best possible "bubbly" experience.

Metabolic syndrome is a combination of issues that occur together and increase your risk of heart disease, cancer and early death.

Men, this is around the waistline, not under the belly, as we know many of us say we are still fit in 34-inch waisted pants. Many people, men and women, fit into this category, or are well on their way to having this condition.

Desiring to practice law in a small town in the West, he and Annette moved to Coeur d’Alene in the first week of January, 1955 to set up his general law practice in the fall of 1955 after passing the Idaho State Bar examinations, then retiring in the fall of 2005 to write his memoirs. During his life in Coeur d’Alene, Bliss was very active in civic affairs, spending over 50 years as a member of Toastmasters International, as well as a good many years as a member of the Idaho Panhandle Kiwanis Club, where he spearheaded two ambitious projects sponsored by the Panhandle Kiwanis Club: A Sea Scout Ship (Troop), which project won the Idaho Panhandle Kiwanis Club the coveted Ruby Award from Kiwanis International – one of only fifteen awarded world-wide. The second was as Chairman of the fund-raising committee for the building of the Fort Sherman Play Park constructed in 1997, which idea he’d seen in Sandy, Oregon, his brother, Olin’s, home town. Bliss is survived by his wife, Annette; a son, Bliss O.

Quinn Joseph McKasty, 16

McKasty, Quinn Joseph, 16, Of Post Falls, Idaho passed away on Friday, August 30th, 2013 from an acute head injury that he sustained in a car crash on Tuesday August 27, 2013. The damage to his brain was so extensive that we believe he died instantly, upon impact. Quinn is in heaven now, where no pain, no fear, and no sorrow can ever touch him. We are eternally grateful for the time we shared with him and will carry those special memoriesin our hearts forever. Quinn will be missed by his loving parents Jason and Julia White, sisters Coralynn, Reidynn and Jocelynn, younger brother Layton, half brother Kyle, Great Grandparents Grandmothers, Grandfathers, lots of aunts and uncles, and too manycousins to list! He was surrounded by those closest to him during his last three days in the hospital. Graciously many of us were given the chance to say our long goodbye to a young man whose life was just beginning. In addition to being an excellent guitar player, extremely hard worker, and talented artist Quinn had far too many wonderful, funny, heartwarming, talented things that he did in his short life to list. Quinn had spent six weeks in Alaska with his Nana and Papa working, fishing, Flying around in Papa's helicopter, swimming in the Bering Sea, and having the adventure of his life. He returned home to us on August 26th late in the evening. We had precious few hours with him before the crash that took his life less than 24 hours later. At 4:21 in the afternoon of August 27, 2013, our beautiful son and daughter were stopped at a red light when they were rear ended by a car with such force that it pushed them through the intersection and into another car. Quinn was the front seat passenger and his side of the car sustained the majority of the impact. Quinn's sister Coralynn, who was driving, walked away from the accident with only minor physical aches and pains, and we believe Quinn died instantly. These two simple facts we believe are miracles. Special thanks goes to all who witnessed this tragic accident and gave assistance to our beautiful children at the scene,to all of the friends and family that put their lives on hold to come support us, in our time of need, in the days following the crash at the hospital. And finally to the staff at the Kootenai Medical Center, especially Quinn's nurse Brenda, all of which were so kind and compassionate to us in our darkest days. May God bless all of you. A memorial and celebration of Quinn's life will be held at the Red Lion Templin's in Post Falls, Idaho, on Friday,October 11th at 6 PM. All are welcome to attend. Donations to help the family can be made to a donation account set up at Global Credit Union under the names Jason and Julia White. In honor of our beloved son Quinn's memory we ask that you drive safely, pay attention on the road and most importantly never drive impaired. Quinn, Joseph McKasty 11-1-1996 to 8-30-2013

OBAMA: Many promises, all lies

In 2009 President Obama said, “No matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period.

CLIMATE: Cliff has it pegged

Just a quick note to Cliff Harris. Loved his article on “global cooling.” I think he is spot on. September is my favorite month of the year here in the Coeur d’Alene area, all the way through to mid-October. This year has been nothing but rain and cold and wind. Thank you for writing an article that makes sense about the weather and what’s happening globally.

SOUZA: The one for all of us

Mary Souza is the only mayoral candidate to have taken positions for the benefit of ALL the people and not just a select few. Exposing what is actually happening within our city government, so all the voters know what is really taking place, has been the goal of Mary in her newsletters. The voters of Coeur d’Alene need a City Council that is transparent in its dealings, and that represents all the voters. This has clearly not been the case for a long time.

LETTER: Of love, hate and marriage

Does J. Johnson hate God? He proposes to legalize same-sex marriage in Idaho against God’s Word. The Bible is very clear on what God says about marriage. In the very beginning (Genesis 2:24) God’s Word says, “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” This is later quoted in Matthew 19:5, Mark 10:7 and Ephesians 5:31. It does not say that a man can leave his father and mother and cleave unto his husband; or a woman can leave her father and mother and cleave unto her wife.

WARMING: Look at Germany's plight

I agree with Jeff Bourget; knowledge wins in the climate debate. In his “My Turn” column Tuesday, he states that solar, wind and tidal can replace our dependency on fossil fuels. Let’s see where we are, and where we would need to go.

WARMING: Cool off the hot words

Regardless of your feelings on “Global Warming” (aka Global Climate Change), I found it objectionable, in poor taste and just plain rude for Mr. Ritterbach to begin his letter to the editor with name calling. If you have a counter argument, present it, don’t stoop to gutter sniping. His entire argument was overshadowed by his politically charged verbal broadside. I would expect more from a supposedly stable, educated member of this community. Sir, it was just plain ugly.

PRAYER: When does God listen?

I appreciate Mary Smith’s attempt to encourage people to pray about things, and I too would like that, but I believe that we need a little more information about that subject before we attempt to communicate with the God of the Bible. The Holy Spirit tells us through Isaiah, the prophet (Isaiah 59:1,2), that the hand of the Lord is not so short that He cannot save (people). Nor is the Lord so hard of hearing that He cannot hear (people’s prayers). In fact, the problem here is not with the Lord at all! It’s that your iniquities have caused a separation between you and God, and your sins have caused Him to hide His face from you, so that He will not hear you (your prayers).

Loyce G. DeVore, 90

Loyce G. DeVore, 90, passed peacefully at Kootenai Health on September 29, 2013. She was born June 16, 1923 in Dickens, Texas to Dena and Charles Lasseter. She was one of five children. She married William P. "Bill" DeVore on December 1, 1945 and enjoyed 67 years of marriage until his passing on February 27, 2013. Loyce lived the majority of her life in central and southern California until 1991 when she and Bill moved to Coeur d'Alene. They became members of the Coeur d'Alene Bible Church and they enjoyed their new life in north Idaho. Loyce was a kind, generous and intelligent lady who always put her family and friends first and who was talented in so many ways. She was a wonderful cook, sewed clothes for herself and her family, braided room-size wool rugs, reupholstered furniture, and canned jams and jellies, and even once canned a batch of gooseberry jelly over a Coleman stove while camping. And one certainly can't forget all of the lovely hand-stitched quilts she made that adorn so many bedrooms and, in the last few years, the hand-tied baby quilts she made that were taken by a missionary couple to Swaziland to hand out to new mothers. We lost count but without a doubt she made hundreds. She always said "I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have my quilts to work on." When Loyce was a young wife and mother, something very special happened to her one night while she was sleeping. She awoke and sat up and was enveloped in the most incredible feeling of love and she heard a voice reciting John 3:16..."For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." This scripture became a prayer for her, reciting it often, and she now rests for eternity in His loving arms. Loyce was preceded in death by her parents, her brothers Granville and C.L., her sister Wanda, and her husband Bill. She is survived by her son Charles DeVore and wife Karen, daughter Teresa Jamerson and husband Jim, sister Joetta Holsinger and husband Ralph, and step-daughter Dorothy Breese and husband Lloyd. The family would like to express their sincere and heartfelt appreciation to North Star Retirement Community, Kootenai Health, and North Idaho Home Health for the loving care and kindness they so freely gave to Loyce. There is a visitation planned for Monday, October 7, at 11 AM at Yates Funeral Home, Coeur d’ Alene Chapel, 744 N. 4th St., with a graveside service following at 1 PM at Forest Cemetery, 1001 Gov’t Way, Coeur d’ Alene.

James D. 'Jim' Wilson, 98

Virginia Walton, 83

Virginia Teataphi Walton, 83, departed from her loved ones in her home at 8:15 AM, Monday, September 30, 2013. Memorial Services will be held at a later date. She is succeeded by two children Candi Landers and Monty Belknap, eight grandchildren, and 18 great grandchildren preceded in death by one child Ernest Bristow. Virginia was born in Port Angeles Washington to Ernest Wellington Constans and Dorothy Tipton. The oldest of eight siblings, Jim Jacobson and Skip Snyder survive. She spent the last years before her passing as a freelance crafter and avid baker. To her family she was a beaming reminder that at any age you can still retain a zest for life and a strong admiration for family. Being deaf gave Virginia an opportunity to express maternal warmth outside the realm of commonplace insincerity; however, she was never at a loss for words. Her insurmountable positivity and vigor made her welcome in all surroundings especially around Holidays and gatherings. Her eccentric character was something to be admired; a myriad of interests and wealth of unique expression made her charm inescapably loving and tender, combined with her passion for family there was never a moment wasted and never a plate absent of homemade goods made from scratch. Always giving, and grateful in return, she had a gift to make inhibitions vanish. Overwhelming everyone with lasting compassion, any reflection on individual exchange is nothing more than buoyant and carefree. As woman with many titles it’s hard to focus on a singular aspect that made her great but through exhibiting an enormous sense of wonder she remains at the bottom of our hearts as an inspiration to everyone. As she earns her wings it’s an unfortunate reminder that we have to learn to spread ours without her. She was the current that kept our lives effervescent and the wind that raised us. Our fridges will be vacant of marvels, our faces absent of glow, and our hearts empty of laughter. She will be dearly missed.

Allison I. Caldwell, known to all as “Al”, born January 6, 1935 to Eric Allison Caldwell and Violet Irving Caldwell, passed into peace on September 28, 2013 after bravely fighting Alzheimer’s for 7 years. Born in Kentville, Nova Scotia, his mother riding to the provincial hospital in a horse-drawn sleigh, Al became anaturalized US citizen in 1961. He moved with his parents and sister, Una, to Lexington, Massachusetts in 1949. He graduated from Lexington High School, home of the Minutemen, in 1953. He had a successful and exciting career in the lumber business beginning at ABC Lumber in Massachusetts and, including time with Masonite, Preston Lumber, Louisiana Pacific, and, finally, his own brokerage for sawdust and shavings, AC Wood Products, all in the Santa Rosa, California area. He loved the redwood lumber business for the majesty of the trees, the many lifetime friends he made, and because he found his wife, Barbara, through this business. After retirement, he and his wife moved to the Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho area where they learned once again why they left the northeast. Never having pets as a child, later in his adult life, Al became a devoted caretaker and friend to his series of cats: Spunky, ET, Babykins, Pookie, and is survived by his two best friends, Lash La Rue and Red Rider, named for his favorite 1940’s matinee cowboy stars.

MLP: Reflexive pronoun, spare thyself

Please, oh please Dear Reader, practice pretention prevention. You know the type: The snooty-tootys (please pardon Mrs. Language Person; she did not mean to be crass) and hoity-toitys who like to emphasize value via pronoun. "I myself would like..." or "As for himself, he went..."

EXCHANGE: New world for Idahoans

This week, Idaho citizens stand to benefit greatly from the launch of the state-run health insurance exchange, officially named, “Your Health Idaho.” The health exchange will offer 161 health insurance plans that we can choose from to buy coverage if we don’t currently have insurance or are dissatisfied with what we have. The exchange has individual health and dental plans, as well as plans for small business.

ABORTION: Syria has nothing on us

Recently the news emphasized the scorn of the leaders of the USA about the “murder” (the president’s word) and “slaughter” (Sec. of State Kerry’s word) to describe what happened to 400 innocent children from the gas attack in Syria. I agree that this is a very sad situation.

OFFICER: A little compassion, please

Recently, the partner of our son was pulled over while traveling south on I-95. She was in the slow lane and was merging into the right turn lane when a Coeur d’Alene police officer pulled her over for not signaling the lane change. She understood the reason quite clearly and indicated that she was sure that she had put her turn signal on.

The benefits of community-based living

There's no question, moving is tough. And making the move from your home to an assisted living community can be a stressful experience for family members and seniors alike. But community-based living offers a multitude of benefits that celebrate independence and can even improve your quality of life. Here are just a few:

Canning tomatoes

Food for Thought

Stepping out the backdoor of my house I notice a change in the landscape. The dark green leaves on my cherry tree are beginning to yellow, my zucchini plants wilting and my tomato vines heavy with fruit. A steady rain and brisk wind from the west slaps me in the faces and announces, "Autumn is here."

I would be willing to chip in for his move to one of those more challenging places to see what he’s really made of.

Why is an entire month dedicated to one health profession, you may ask? This is because physical therapy is known to have improved the life for people of all ages. It's a treatment provided by trained professionals that can be used to improve or prevent a variety of injuries and ailments.

SOUZA: Will listen to her constituents

I’m writing this in response to Sholeh Patrick’s recent article casting doubt on the viability of local referendums giving guidance to elected officials. These votes would be advisory in nature and would not hold any legal ramifications. No one is advocating that the public should vote on every expenditure or decision that the government makes, such as purchasing a new police car. A project that spends millions of dollars and affects large portions of the city should have an advisory vote, especially if it’s as controversial as the McEuen Park or the new land development code the county is writing. Ms. Patrick recommends hiring professionals with experience to guide local government but I question how effective that is when you consider the professionals hired to guide the land use codes.

Airing marathon safety concerns

No regrets

During the first year of having cancer, you are so busy just trying to survive. From the moment of diagnosis to surgery, follow-up visits with multiple MD's, chemotherapy, radiation, PET scans, CAT scans, blood draws, ports, physical therapy and no hair, you don't think much about what's next. This is really a good thing because you need all your energy and strength to do what needs to be done.

Touting the tongue

Doctor of Oriental Medicine

The room burst into laughter. Here we were, a bunch of doctors, sticking our tongues out towards the little mirrors that the speaker had handed out to each of us, and then she said "Now, are you going to let that little piece of meat ruin your health?" We laughed, but became more serious as she continued. The tongue, as it turns out, is quite the deciding factor in our health.
