Another fiscal cliff

Once again we see the infighting in Congress delaying decisions on the budget that could lead to a shut down. This is increasingly becoming a non-event to many since no one is convinced that our dysfunctional lawmakers will actually take us to bankruptcy. One of the many threats of inaction though is the loss of federally backed flood insurance.

MAIL: Delivering wrong message

I work as a landscaper-groundskeeper in a 55-plus retirement community in Coeur d’Alene. I was pruning some bushes behind a postal collection box and had put a plastic garbage can full of limbs on the street within 5 feet of the collection box. A postal delivery truck approached and I moved toward the garbage can to move it so it would not impede the delivery of mail. The female carrier in the truck appeared perturbed, slowed the truck, then accelerated and pulled away with no mail delivery. Ten homes did not get their mail on Thursday, Sept. 26.

Paul Valadez, 53

PAUL VALADEZ, October 30, 1959-September 20, 2013. Paul Valadez ended his battle with diabetes on September 20, 2013 at his home in Post Falls and went to join his Lord and Savior. Paul was born in Jacksonville, FL to his parents, Paul Valadez and Mary (Scott) Valadez, who reside in Victorville, CA. One of Paul's proudest accomplishments in serving the Lord was his participation in a very popular Christian rock band called Adam Again from 1982-2000. If you go to the band's website you will see all of the people sad to lose a very talented bass player for the band and also a great disciple of the Lord. Paul will be missed for his wonderful sense of humor that came out of nowhere sometimes; his unique laugh; and his kindness; but most of all for his love of the Lord. Paul was a talented musician whose large beautiful voice belied his quiet humble manner. He was a worship leader for several years at various churches in California and Idaho. Paul also spent service for his Lord in many nursing homes in both states sharing his love of God, his beautiful voice, and exceptional guitar skills. Until the last year when his health was giving out on him, he also filled in for worship services at Real Life Ministries in Post Falls, Pinehurst, and Newport, Washington as well as helping out with meals for benevolence at the Post Falls campus. Paul worked for many years in the Los Angeles area for Jet Delivery, and sometimes had to be reminded by his wife not to drive like he was still in California. He also worked for 10 years for Center Partners in Post Falls and made many friends there. Paul is survived by his wife, Roxann (Brockway) Valadez of Post Falls; his sister, Cynthia (Richard) Holland of Rancho Cucamonga, CA; brother, Robert (Deena) Valadez of Palm Springs, CA; sister-in-laws, Gayle (Ralph) Noyes of Post Falls, Vicki (Bob) Harris of Pine Bluff, AR; Barbara (Matt Padula) Brockway of Atlanta, GA, and Tricia Brockway of Cummings, GA; brother-in-law, Dale (Theresa) Brockway of Kalkaska, MI; son, William Boltze of Fort Collins, CO; daughters Katy(Bennett) McKinley of Wheeling, WV, and Sierra (Nick) Balsara of Fort Wayne, IN; 2 very special grandchildren, Louis Brock McKinley and Delilah Balsara; niece, Sara Valadez; nephews, Robbie and David Valadez. Paul also had a very special relationship with his niece, Christina Mendez, who he thought of as a daughter. Paul also had a wonderful support with his home group from Real Life ministries who helped us thru this difficult time from providing meals, to sitting and praying with us at the hospital. Please come and celebrate Paul's life with us at Real Life Ministries at 18866 N. Cecil Rd., Post Falls, ID at 1:00 P.M. on Monday, September 30, 2013.

Chuck was born Oct. 14, 1963 in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho to Dean and Mabel Walker. Chuck was a true woodsman and was exceptionally talented at wood cutting and logging practices. He was also an expert concrete finisher, experienced commercial truck driver, and great general repair person. Chuck was highly involved in his church, Heart of the City, and participated in local and international outreach activities. Chuck was a member of several mission outreach trips to Haiti. Chuck is survived by his wife Donna, his mother Mabel, his sister Wanda Jean (Walker), stepson Larry Castro, and stepson Christopher Castro. Chuck was cremated and his remains dispersed in the hills around Coeur d’Alene: the hills he loved, worked in, and recreated in. A memorial luncheon commemorating his life was held at Hunter’s restaurant in Post Falls, ID on Sept. 21 and was well attended by family and close friends. Chuck’s physical strength was only matched by the strength of his Christian witness. Chuck’s presence among us is dearly missed.

Direct democracy in doubt

Eva Pearl Rex, 86

Eva Pearl Rex quietly slipped away from us on June 5, 2013. She was 86 years young and a feisty little devil right to the end. Her life was a colorful bouquet of many friends and family that will dearly miss her warm smile and laughter. Mama never met a stranger and was always helping those who were down on their luck. It didn't matter if they were hungry, broke or both, she was a friend to all who needed her. Mama was born at home near Steptoe, WA on March 6, 1927 to Bill and Pearl Jackson. She was the oldest child of four, and the only girl. She was followed by brothers Wayne, Frank, and Richard. She was a mother hen to the boys and they were very close to their sister. They looked out for Mama in later years and included her in many trips across country including Hawaii. She would talk about these excursions for months. On April 24, 1944, Mama and Daddy ran off to Anaconda, Mt and got married. They told the story of having 27 flat tires on that trip. In 1946, they began raising a family of their own. They had four children, Linda, Kitty, Terry, and Debbie. These four children presented their parents with many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Mama worked as a bartender for over 45 years. She worked at the Log Cabin, Phil's Club, King's, Mac's Bar, State Line Tavern, Longhorn Barbecue and the Eagles to name a few. It was said she poured a damn good drink. In 1972, Daddy passed away and Mama moved to Portland, OR and managed an apartment complex. She later moved to Pasco, WA and managed apartments for several years. She then returned to the Newport and Sandpoint areas. Mama was then reunited with a childhood sweetheart, Clarence "Bob" Robeson through his sister Mabel. They got married and spent a few short years together before Bob passed away. Shortly thereafter Mama moved to Post Falls. For the past several years, Mama worked as a senior companion, taking care of "old" people. Of course, most of these old folks were many years younger than she was. She was doing this until a couple weeks before she passed away. Mama was preceded in death by her parents, siblings, husbands Clair Rex and Bob Robeson and her daughter Kitty last September. She is survived by her children Linda, Terry, and Debbie. Grandchildren Rhonda, Fred, Randy, Angela, Stacey, Dave, Krista, Christy, Denice, Jamie and Kelly and way too many grandchildren and great-grandchildren to try to remember! Thanks to Hospice of North Idaho and a special thanks to Joi whom Mama thought was so very special. Huge thanks to Dr. Covelli for being so kind and caring all these years. At Mama's request there were no funeral services, but her family wishes to honor her with a potluck to celebrate the life of our awesome Mama, Grandma, and Great-Grandma. Friends and family are asked to join us at the Eagles Lodge in Newport on Saturday, September 28th from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. Please wear bright colors, purple and red are good, and bring lots of good stories to tell. Sherman-Knapp Funeral Home in Newport is in charge of arrangements.

The really big collectors

Wine is a thing of passion for many of us and a thing of a whole lot of passion for a few of us, and many times those who are most passionate about wine spend a fair amount of time and capital putting together really big wine collections. Most collectors will focus their efforts, and wisely so, on a varietal or appellation or handful of producers they are very fond of. They may have a few outliers in their collection, but the best constructed "cellars" are very focused.

LABRADOR: Put the citizens first

If Americans are disturbed by the effect of Obamacare on employment, wait until they understand what House Republicans have waiting in their legislative wings.

MARRIAGE: Idaho's time for same-sex

I am irritated with the way our country is headed marriage-wise. The Judicial branch has gratefully protected state rights to protect gay marriage as they choose, but I don’t see why Idaho cannot have same-sex marriage. Anyone who is gay has made a decision in their own life, they are even labeled as a community. Just because they/we have made choices to find a relationship in someone other than the opposite sex does not make a gay person inhuman.

RIGHTS: Babies versus 'weirdos'

Doctor of Oriental Medicine

The quality of what is put into our bodies is in direct correlation with what we get out of it. Our bodies are like machines. They are capable of incredible feats that we can barely duplicate outside of the body. Like all machines, there are requirements to keep them running effectively. But akin to that, they have to be made (or repeatedly re-made) properly.

Breast cancer survivors are brave, strong and resilient in a world that often thinks beauty is only skin deep.

They throw aside the world's view and learn that their choices are theirs alone and then they stand tall on their decisions.

What to look for in an assisted living community

For many families, choosing an assisted living community for a loved one can be an overwhelming process, with decisions often made on a tight timeline, and without the experience to know what to look for and the right questions to ask. But it's important to remember that community-based living can be a truly enriching time and there are many resources to help you find an assisted living community that's the right fit. Here are some guidelines to consider.

Dynamic verses static stretching techniques

What are you looking to gain out of your stretching? Are you hoping to warm up your body and decrease the likelihood of injury before partaking in physical activity? Or are you striving to promote flexibility, and improve muscle length and motion? Determining your purpose before choosing a stretching method is important in order to receive your desired outcome.

Creating a permanent memory

Food for Thought

Trips to Silverwood, camping in the Idaho wilderness and conquering Legos Angry Birds Star Wars, tops the list of, "Things I did on my summer vacation," stapled to the bulletin board on the walls of my school. Reading each paper I wonder, will these students remember in 20 years what happened during their summer of 2013?

Make the tough call

Civic leaders can hire experts to do scientific polling. They can pull on their walking shoes and go door to door, if they want, to find out what residents think about any controversial issue. They can read tea leaves or consult astrological charts, if they so choose.

PRAYER: There is no downside

Public prayer does two things. First, realizations are renewed that we are on Earth only a short time. What we do for good needs guidance and wisdom which, in our finite selves, we may not have. Secondly, in prayer we are reminded that our forefathers prayed for understanding in establishing our nation and they verbalized awareness of answered prayers.

NEGATIVE: Look at the bright side

I moved to Hayden in 1997 and one of the things that has impressed me since is the generous and helpful nature of a majority of the citizens. Sure, there are some who do not measure up to that standard as might be expected in any group exceeding 50,000 folks.

Bill Stamps, 74

William Edward “Bill” Stamps took his last breath at noon on Tuesday, September 17, 2013 surrounded by his wife Muriel, children Kurt and Amy, best friends Mike and Ed Hatter, and his pastor Craig Sumey. He said he was ready to meet the Lord, and had, in fact, reassured everyone of his love, including his son-in-law Curtis Hayes, and his grandchildren Kailie Stamps, Alex True, Mason Frew as well as Kurt’s fiancé, Tina and their baby to be. He left confident that he too was loved by his family, friends, and by the Lord. It had been 3 ½ years since Bill’s heart had been augmented by an LVAD, which is essentially an external pump controlled by batteries. They were difficult years of poor health but he was not the type to complain. He was known instead for his consistent good wit, well told stories, and laughter. He was a man of integrity and kindness, one who was always forthright. But, in these last years he became even more thoughtful, patient, understanding, appreciative and loving. We are thankful for the support and loving prayers of his friends and family, excellent medical care and to God for those last precious years. Born to Ruby and Henry Stamps on August 25, 1939 in Bates, Arkansas, Bill grew up in Martinez, California. He and Muriel went to Jr. High and High School together. Muriel already had a crush on him at age 13, just before he was completely buried by a massive shale rock slide while fishing in the mountains. Severe injuries kept him out of school for a year. Doctors at that time wanted to remove his crushed leg, which Bill refused to allow. Courage, hard work and determination helped him heal without even a limp. When he showed interest in Muriel in Junior College, Muriel was already in love with him because he so loved life (as well as for his good looks). In 1961, when she finished college, they were married. Bill finished college two years later in 1966, graduating from California Polytechnic College in San Luis Obispo with a major in Agricultural Business. From the time he was young, Bill had always had a job. He began by being his father’s helper on their little farm and his mother’s helper in the kitchen. He swept floors in a doughnut shop in the wee hours, sold men’s clothing at a local haberdashery, worked at a cannery, a refinery, and the peach orchards in the California Valley. But his first professional job was, to his mind, “heaven sent”. He was hired by Del Monte Corporation as a field representative and sent to Idaho Falls. There he could hunt all manner of game and fowl, and fly fish practically by stepping out the door (at that time). Their little family, which now included Kurt, who was one, moved to snow country without a second thought. Two years later Amy joined the family. In 1970 Bill accepted a position as a regional agricultural chemicals sales representative with Ciba Geigy and the family moved to Post Falls, still a sportsman’s heaven. Thirteen years later they became residents of Hayden Lake and Bill became an investment counselor with Morgan Stanley, in order to be home more with his family. It was 2003 that he began having heart problems and he retired. Bill was an avid reader, interested mostly in the development of the West. Not much of a joiner, Bill found his greatest pleasure being part of the great outdoors, although he did enjoy his time of congeniality with the “Lunch Bunch” on Tuesdays, Sunday morning at church, and time spent in discussion with his Christ Care Group. He volunteered as a hunter safety instructor and on the Idaho Wildlife Federation Board when his work no longer involved travel. He loved best time spent with his family and friends. If that could be a fishing trip with them, then that was even better. Those trips (most often thinly veiled as a family vacation), were always full of adventure and fun. Bill loved life, the beauty of his world and the people in it. He was content and said many times that he had had a great life. The memorial service will be 10:30 a.m. Monday, September 30, 2013 at the First Presbyterian Church in Coeur d’Alene with Yates Funeral Home in care of the arrangements. The family prefers memorials to the Idaho Fish & Wildlife Foundation, P.O. Box 2254, Boise, ID 83701 or the First Presbyterian Church, 521 Lakeside Ave., Coeur d’Alene, ID 83814.

One of their moves took them to Auburn, Calif. where Wayne drove truck for Laura ScudderPotato chips for a while before working at DeWittState Hospital.

Mom and Dad traveled until moving to Post Falls, Idaho in 1977. Once in Post Falls they had a passion for doing temple work and genealogy that kept them busy and smiling.

Dad raised three children with the creed, "pay your tithing, pay your bills, and you can live on the rest." He has 9 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren, and 9 great-great grandchildren who will miss him dearly. His family is easy to list, but the people he helped and friends he made are countless.

Joseph Ginter, 63

We write this in Loving Memory of Joseph Michael Ginter. Joe was born to Harold Lee Ginter and Annie Ginter on February 11, 1950 in Moscow, Idaho. Joe was a hard working logger from the start of his early career! He fell his first tree at ten and hauled his first load to the mill at fourteen. He saw the big trees come off out of the mountains and built roads with his feet! When someone asked him in 1971 if he wanted to buy a Diamond Rio, his destiny than was set in motion! Joe is survived by his three children: Brian Lee Ginter, Cynthia Ann Marcella (Nick), and Neil Michael Ginter. They were his life’s pride. His brother Daniel Ginter (Vicki), and his sister Linda McGill (Murry), and his precious grandchildren: Kassandra Elizabeth Marcella, Grace Kelly Marcella, Coral Ginter, and Lucas James Marcella. Joe was a man of pride built on strong work ethics, love for his family, honesty, and dedication to his friends. God welcomed Joe back to Heaven on September 9, 2013 at 9:00 pm. To be our Guardian Angel to watch over all of us and to rejoin his parents, Harold and Annie , and his wife Cathy once again. Daddy you will forever be in our hearts and we will remember you always. A Memorial Service for Joe will be held at New Life Church ( 6068 W. Hayden Ave.) Rathdrum, Idaho on Sept. 28, 2013 at 2:00 pm. Immediately following his service there will be a potluck dinner at Rathdrum City Park. Bell Tower Funeral Home is in care of arrangements.

Pastor: Stewart revives national stigma

Dear Mr. Stewart,

HYDROS: A pain in the ears

Fun for everyone! Not entirely. This was our experience — Coeur d’Alene Lake Drive is a small, narrow, limited access road that many of us must use to get to and from our homes. Getting through from either end meant delays of up to 45 minutes. This caused considerable stress for all of us but especially our neighbors who must get to work. Having the races in this area makes no sense.

WEATHER: Alert on TV nauseating

Anyone else out there as thoroughly bugged as I was by the National Weather Alert hijacking our Seahawks game Sunday evening (or any other TV show you happened to be watching?) The constant and lengthy interruptions only served the opposite of what they are intended to do, as I was so sick of them and that horrible noise that I muted the TV until the message alert was through!

GOD: He's in our Constitution

BENGHAZI: Sign of bad times

You really hit a nerve in your Sept. 13 Editorial, Rathdrum 1, Benghazi 0. I not only salute the man who held the signs “Benghazi” and “Impeach Obama,” but would be honored to stand next to him holding the same signs.

THANKS: Vet gets and gives them

While having my birthday dinner recently at Red Lobster in Coeur d’Alene, two lovely ladies, noticing my World War II hat that was given to me while on the Honor Flight in June, and resting on the table, stopped to thank me for the service of my country. We then had a nice conversation of my experiences in Germany where I served for two years.

SCHOOLS: Basics absolutely needed

It was astounding to hear from an ex teacher, Mr. Dave Eubanks, who explains that kids are passed on from year to year without learning how to read a clock, learn times tables, how to add and subtract and make change, how to read and write in cursive, and know how to spell. In recent years, it has been made abundantly clear that “the teacher” is “the” ingredient in our schools that creates success for students.

GAS: Kudos for superior service

Regarding Sunday’s editorial about seniors seeking help pumping gas in winter weather: Now this is what a hometown newspaper is all about. YOU are serving your subscribers, when coming to their needs.

UNIONS: Key to the middle class

RATHDRUM: Tribute from happy resident

What a great community Rathdrum is to live in! I want to address how supportive everyone is for our events. First, Rathdrum Days. What a great weekend! With only five weeks to put it together it was one of the best ever! Everyone, Chamber, City, Park and Rec, Lakeland School District, Lions Club and volunteers came together once again. We had a record amount of vendors and had GREAT entertainment!

HEADLINE: Sex doesn't sell

I was sickened by your headline “Sex and the City (Government)” as I realized the article was about human rights and discrimination. The City Council is to be commended for their passage of the anti-discrimination law. They did what was morally right. The protesters do not earn merit for their concerns simply because they are a loud voice. Many hide behind “religion.” The God I understand is accepting and loving, even of these protesters.

Furthermore, we live in a world of "more is better" - mega dosing of vitamins-to our detriment. More is not necessarily better, and especially synthetic is not good.

Hayden's "Wolfpack" Army Reserve 455th Engineer Bravo Company is part of the Army Reserve's 321st Engineer Battalion. Originally constituted in the National Army in 1918, the battalion saw action in the Pacific Theater from 1942 to 1946, earning a Presidential Unit Citation for Okinawa, the Philippine Presidential Unit Citation, and Meritorious Unit Citations in 1944 and 1945. In 1948 its headquarters were moved to Boise, and the battalion later saw action in Iraq in 2006 to 2007. In keeping with its military tradition, the 321st is one of the most decorated units in the Iraqi theater of war. Equivalent to an individual earning a Silver Star, the 321st was awarded the army's Valorous Unit Award. The citation reads "...[the unit] displayed extraordinary heroism in action against an armed enemy... The Battalion significantly reduced casualties resulting from improvised explosive devices for both friendly forces and the Iraqi civilian population." It also earned the Navy Unit Commendation for service with the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward). The citation reads "The personnel of 1st Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward) transformed the future of the Anbar Province of Iraq while combating a brutally persistent insurgent threat across a battle space spanning more than 50,000 square miles... redefined the concept of valor to meet the unique demands of counterinsurgency operations..."

WARMING: A tale of two extremes

The “man-made” global warming nuts don’t like people like me. I have a memory.

WARMING: It's just a swindle

In his letter of Sept. 1, Mr. Rittenbach states Cliff Harris and Anthony Watts’ main claim to fame is to discredit global climate change. Dr. Thomas Sowell, senior fellow of the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, has a few comments on “The Great Global Warming Swindle.”

DEMOCRACY: Don't miss this meeting

Last week, President Obama proclaimed in a speech that we are “the oldest Constitutional Democracy.” He went on to use the term “Constitutional Democracy” again in the speech. This speech was prepared and read by the president, not ad-libbed.

SHOOTING: Don't judge just yet

I’m commenting on the shooting that took place a few weeks ago that resulted in the death of Eric Johnston. I’ve read letters to The Press from the residents in Coeur d’Alene and how they support the decision that the officer made that day, how what the officer did was right and justified. All short of celebration of officer appreciation month. Not so fast!

WIDMYER: Will unify community

COUNCIL: Different strokes - and counts

After reading the article on the front page of The Press on the 12th, I find myself wondering where staff writer Tom Hasslinger learned his math. His claim, made in his article “Sex and the City (Government)” that the number of people present at the City Council meeting speaking against the equal rights resolution were an “overwhelming majority,” is completely inaccurate.

GAS: Plea for help at pump

Hopefully you will print this plea for a real live attendant to pump gas for senior drivers during this forthcoming winter.

The state of sales

I will go to the ends of the earth to find ways to improve communication and salesmanship, so I was delighted to be invited to Israel in July to be briefed by the creme-de-la-creme of Israel's intelligence community. Wall-to-wall meetings introduced me to 25 top strategists, military commanders and technology entrepreneurs. Why is the Israeli intelligence gathering so widely envied and emulated? Its discipline, attention to detail and passion are breathtaking. These same traits that distinguish Israel's national intelligence program are easy to spot in the country's economy, which is increasingly dominated by entrepreneurial, high-tech innovators in breakthrough industries like 3D printing.

HYDROS: Tips for next year

This year’s hydro races for Coeur d’Alene in my opinion were a success, since not having them for 45 years. If I may make one suggestion for future races: There was a lot of downtime between heats. Perhaps an airshow would be good. I think having the “Snowbirds” from Canada, or another air show provider would be nice, or perhaps having some of the smaller class boats race between the heats.

JERRY HOOKER, 78

Jerry Allen Hooker, 78, of Coeur d’Alene died September 11, 2013 at Hospice House of North Idaho. He was born February 13, 1935 in Boise, ID to Robert and Ella (Daly) Hooker. When he was quite young the family moved to Bellevue, WA where they lived in a tent and his father worked at the Bremerton shipyards. The family then moved to Cle Elum, WA where Jerry began school. He was raised on a dairy farm where he and his dad milked a herd of cows daily. Jerry was in the 9th grade when the family moved to San Bernardino, CA. He graduated from San Bernardino High School in 1953 and joined the U.S. Marine Corps. He served 3 years in Korea as a telegraph operator and was discharged in 1956.

ULUC: Leaders, please step forward

It seems to me that the unpopularity of the proposed land use code among the citizens of Kootenai County would be a red flag to the commissioners and that they would drop the idea altogether. If they were to force it upon the county in any form, could the people just ignore it like the county commissioners ignored the people? Or maybe the county should find leaders willing to listen to its citizens?

I felt compelled to write concerning Bill Johnson’s column in The Press Aug. 31.

SHOOTING: A sign of the times

WOLVES: Here we go again

Special interest groups are refusing to share their hunting grounds and grazing allotments with natural predators; even in publicly owned National Forests. Days ago, the Idaho Wolf Hunt spread from private land in the Panhandle to include the entire state again. Wolves will be shot with rifles and bows, and will be suffering in barbaric, painful traps for up to three days at a time this winter. Of 379 wolves killed in the 2011/2012 Idaho hunt, 40 of them were puppies, 56 suffered in leghold traps before being killed, and 67 choked to death in snares.

NIC: Wrestling with a tribute

I would like to shed some light on the North Idaho College Wrestling program for the outstanding work done in our community. Head Coach Pat Whitcomb and Assistant Coach Keri Stanley make this a priority. I read about the We Care Program which involves the distribution of free school supplies to the youth of our community. This is the most recent of many community service projects that the 14-time National Championship Wrestling Program has supported.

POST FALLS: Home of high taxes

It is well-known that the Post Falls property taxes are the highest in the area. Higher even than those in Coeur d’Alene and more than double those in Hayden on an equal comparison basis. However, it is not well appreciated that these high taxes have an effect of lowering the property values in these towns. Understandably, people prefer living in a location like Hayden with their low taxes and are willing to pay a premium for these houses. On the other hand, the high taxes in Post Falls cause the people to have to lower their selling prices in order to sell their houses. Therefore, the homeowners in Post Falls receive a double whammy, first when they have to pay their exorbitant taxes and secondly when selling their house having to accept a discounted price.

OBAMA: Needs some coaching

Do you think it would help if our president watched a little more football and studied the strategy? I don’t know much at all about football, but I do know that the team’s coach tries to NOT give away their game plans. The coach covers his mouth so that no one can read his lips.

The difference between knowledge and information spans every subject, but when it comes to certain subjects like wine, the gap between the two is even more important.

Knowledge, information with understanding and explanation, is a bit harder to come by.

POLICE: Being in their shoes

I read the My Turn column by Mr. Miller, and I couldn’t agree more. As a former police officer (1970-’80s) I can tell you that however nice, quiet, and decent a person is, once alcohol or drugs are involved, it is like a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde effect. I have had many people threaten me, call me every name in the book and resist arrest for DUIs. When they appear in court with their suit and tie and act meek with their “yes sirs” and “no sirs,” it’s like a different person. If you haven’t been in law enforcement, then you just don’t understand.

SHOOTING: Another side of the story

Scene, Coeur d’Alene police officer returns home after his shift. He enters through the kitchen door and greets his wife. She asks how his day was , and he answers her that it was terrific. She asks, “What did you do to make your day so terrific?” and he tells her that he prevented a man from committing suicide. She then asks, “Did you talk him out of it?” and he answers, “No, I shot him.”

SHOOTING: Cd'A unsafe? Bah!

HYDROS: Tips for next year

I hope the Diamond Cup Races return next year but I have a few suggestions to the organizers. First, if they publish rules for log boom pass holders to follow they should ENFORCE them. I paid $450 to be there. Next to me eight boats rafted together with the last one B L A S T I N G their “home music” at a volume I’m sure was heard in Sandpoint. We could not hear the hydro boats, the race announcer on our radio or each other’s conversation. There were many very upset pass holders around us. Not one “patrol boat” crew checked for passes or wrist bands on the rafted boats but checked us over a dozen times.

REMODEL: School looks tremendous

I would like to give a heartfelt thank you to all of the amazing people who worked so hard on the remodel of Sorensen Elementary School this past year. To the community who supported funding the remodel, the team who designed it, the amazing crew who did all the work, and whoever I am forgetting — Thank you! The excitement was contagious when all of our kids headed back to school. They are going to have an amazing year!

SENTENCE: No fan of KC justice

How is that people of the legal system can give the newspapers a “story” to tell, if in fact they don’t give all the details? Or the newspaper put out a story without inquiring about ALL the details? The Kootenai County prosecutor that gave the information about the supposed “32-year-old ‘sex offender’ that was sentenced to 35 years” neglected to give you all a whole lot of other information. Especially the information about the evidence that points to the innocence of Mr. Coulston; or the fact that the girl has made the same false allegations before on another man who is still currently doing time in prison; or the fact that Mr. Coulston completely passed all the testing “required” by the courts and the results stated that Mr. Coulston “is NOT a threat to society”; or the mere fact that Mr. Coulston’s attorney completely railroaded him and proved to be inadequate counsel; or the fact that he got the sentence he did because he wasn’t showing any sorrow; would you have if you were innocent?

EASTWOOD: High praise over parks

Coeur d’Alene has been made a better place by the parks, trails, and additions that Doug Eastwood has overseen. We noticed a definite difference when Doug took over and began to manage and grow our recreation areas throughout our city.

SYRIA: We need to stay out

Regarding more military involvement in the Middle East, I find it discouraging and frustrating that our government is wanting to get involved in yet another war, now in Syria. We have been at war in the Middle East for a very long time. We have lost thousands of our finest young people, both men and women. We have spent billions upon billions of dollars and we have nothing to show for it except a huge debt, and a great loss of lives.

HYMNS: Gone but not forgotten

Old Time Hymn Sing at the KROC will not be starting up again this fall. I was very disappointed to learn about this. It has been a wonderful place to worship and praise the Lord as we would sing the good old hymns. Majors Ernie and Juanita have spent a great deal of time and talent as they would lead the service of praise.

FORESTS: Leave them to states

Why should the state of Idaho (and others) claim ownership to the national forests? Because that was supposed to have been the action of Congress with the admittance of territories as states; excepting only forts and associated defense type properties necessary for the federal government to protect the citizens (see Article 1, Section 8, last two paragraphs, U. S. Constitution). Regardless of any agreements made under pressure to become states (or the withholding of same), the federal government should not have retained ownership of the lands within the states.

Medicaid Expansion or Medicaid Re-Design - What will it be?

Personal accountability is written all over the Affordable Health Care Act. When it comes to Medicaid Expansion, how is personal responsibility factored in? Being responsible for one's own health is part of the health care cost equation, but not always easy to create. Accountability is normally viewed as being responsible - giving an explanation of your actions - to somebody for something; ideally this is to yourself. Personal responsibility and accountability is a complex notion when it comes to health. Unhealthy habits are one of multiple factors in disease. But health also follows wealth: on average, the higher on the socioeconomic ladder you are, the lower your risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, infant death and preterm deliveries.
