In a village long ago lived a young boy who loved nothing as much as competing in athletic contests. Because he was fit and strong, he usually triumphed, and he grew to love the adulation he received from the villagers around him.

LIFESAVER: Thank you, Dr. Lyon

Dr. Wilbur Lyon saved my life! In 1985 I was packed and ready to go to a relative’s 50th anniversary in Modesto, Calif. But in the morning when I raised my arm I felt a pain in my side. I went to Dr. Lyon, my doctor of many years, and after he looked at the X-ray, he said, “You’re not going anywhere. Unpack your suitcases and be here at the hospital in the morning for surgery, if you make it.” He removed a large tumor from my large intestine which was cancerous and ready to burst. And here I am for my 96th birthday with no sign of cancer. Hospice is my favorite charity.

The optics of presidential golf: A historical dilemma

President Obama's befuddling decision to play golf, moments after denouncing ISIS' savage beheading of an American journalist, cast into sharp relief the historical dilemma that has surrounded presidents who enjoy chasing a little white ball across green pastures.

The electorate's estimation of presidential golf has never been very high, but it is scornful of it in times of war and tragedy, as Obama has learned.

FLAG: 'Rumors' abound

The Aug. 26 article about the offending U.S. flag atop a Forest Service tree was insightful. Professional tree climbers were rushed in to assess the problem. Public displays of patriotism were applauded, but NOT allowed on public land. And it was reassuring to learn what careful drivers we have in the Forest Service. They had their eyes on the road for several months, not looking up to see the flag. We hope they will also be careful to stay out of the tree. It would take two of their professional climbers on top of the tree at the same time to properly fold the flag. That would be very dangerous. Some believe the Forest Service might have spotted the problem sooner if they occasionally put two people in one pickup.

FLAG: Leave it alone

Shame on the Panhandle National Forest for wanting to remove this beautiful flag. I have been admiring it for more than a month and it brings a smile to my face every day when I drive by, especially now when there is so much turmoil in the world and all that ever is reported is bad news. We finally have something good to talk about and enjoy. So shame on anyone that would like to remove this beautiful flag. Is the Panhandle Forest also going to remove the beautiful cross at the top of the pass too?

The power of the squat

I went on a mission trip to Nepal for a month when I was an Adjunct Professor at Loma Linda University in the School of Physical Therapy. They wanted us to establish a physical therapy clinic at a hospital in Benepi. In Nepal, everywhere you go, you see people squatting: whether talking to each other, washing their clothes at the river's edge, or relaxing at the market. Squatting is just part of their lifestyle.

Dental health and school performance

A recent study was done in Los Angeles, in which they looked at the link between oral health and school performance. In a group of roughly 1,500 students, they found that children who reported having recent tooth pain were four times more likely to have a low grade-point average - below the median GPA of 2.8 - when compared to children who had not had dental pain.

How the area teams might fare

With another lean toward optimism, here's my season predictions for the area's big four college football teams:

Personal vs. 'Real' property

It is with some frequency that buyers of a property feel entitled to a seller's personal property after the contract is signed. Things like firewood, a rusty junk pile, the vegetables in the garden and sometimes even pets become a point of contention when approaching the agreed upon date of the sale if buyer and seller are not aware of the obligations within their contract.

V stands for Volunteering

Volunteer Corner

The nonprofit agencies in Kootenai County and the surrounding areas do amazing work with very little. Living in a caring community, we often hear of the many fundraisers and campaigns taking place to provide financial support to ensure the lights stay on and the doors stay open. But what we don't often hear about is who does the work. It takes thousands of hours of volunteering at these locations to provide the greatly needed programs and services. Serving the most vulnerable in our community is a commitment that many agencies continue to make even when funding is hard to come by. We have heard of organization leaders taking pay cuts because they know how valuable the work is that is being done. Volunteers that serve the community can provide a skilled workforce and receive a return on investment even greater than a monetary contribution.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) affects millions of people on a daily basis. The symptoms of IBS may include constipation, bloating, abdominal cramping, gas or diarrhea after eating. Some medications may provide immediate relief; the results are usually temporary and do not treat the underlying causes of the digestive problem. Many of today's chronic health conditions associated with inflammation are linked to the digestive tract and changes in its microflora (bacteria).

Premature aging

Our health is under attack. We currently live in the most obese, polluted and energy-drained environment in the last 90 years. It is a fact that 92 percent of people over 50 have at least one chronic disease and 77 percent have at least two. It is time to change how we think of health care and break away from "the normal aging process."

Does the weather really affect my pain?

The next time you watch the weather forecast, notice the barometric pressure, measured in inches. Typically, when a low pressure front is coming (and they do, all the time), it signals not only a change in the weather but a drop in the barometric pressure, which is pressure against the Earth's atmosphere. As a very loose rule, a high-pressure area will be clear and a low-pressure area will be cloudy and rainy. Remember when Grandma would say, "Rain's coming, and I can feel it in my joints?" She actually knew this because of what happens to our bodies when the barometric pressure changes.

Swim for it, Morris!

Every summer from sixth to eleventh grade, I went to summer camp for a week at a beautiful lake in southern Virginia called Smith Mountain Lake. It was a special place for lots of reasons, but the best reason was that was where I learned to waterski. I thought it would be easy. I had seen my parents ski since an early age. They loved the water; many of my early memories of my family together took place around the water. I just figured I would hop right in and ski on one ski, just like they did. Little did I know, it wasn't that simple to learn to waterski.

BULLIES: Here, there, everywhere

I wanted to address the issue of bullying. Nothing new as far as I can see. Since I started school in 1959 and finished in 1971, bullies were the norm.

There are plenty to go around.

Zack spends most recesses sitting on the bench frustrated and confused. When asked why he can't control himself and follow school rules, Zack shrugs and sadly answers, "I don't know."

Finding balance

Smooth, silky, seamless, elegant and yes, balanced. In our time talking to folks about wine and learning what they like, the lion's share prefer wines that are balanced, regardless of the term they use to describe it. The important thing for wine consumers is to find wines they like the taste of, and as wine professionals our job is to find those wines that meet those needs. Part of that is embracing wines of all styles (even though they may not be our favorites), looking at them objectively to ensure they are well made - and yes, balanced - but in assessing them, not to disassemble them into all the components that lead to a balanced presentation when you taste the wine.

Other victims of the recession

The recession hit hard in America as well as here in North Idaho. Not only were families affected by job loss and the resulting foreclosures of their homes, but there were other victims as well. With an inability to make house payments came other difficulties including a decrease in revenue for Home Owners' Associations. HOAs, dependent upon periodic dues from the families in their neighborhoods found themselves strapped as they struggled to maintain the areas governed by their Conditions Covenants and Restrictions (CCRs).

SLAVERY: Time to end it in the U.S.

Last month, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Human Trafficking Prioritization Act (H.R.2283). If signed into law, this legislation would elevate the U.S. government’s Trafficking in Persons Office to a State Department Bureau, a change that would help ensure that human trafficking is upheld as a foreign policy priority for the United States. The bill doesn’t add cost or bureaucracy and would be a critical step forward in the fight against human trafficking, a crime which enslaves nearly 30 million people worldwide. Now that the House of Representatives has acted, it is time for the Senate to follow suit.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's remarks at a law school conference on the U.S. Supreme Court's relative indifference to the rights of women in recent years reflects the checkered historical record of American institutions and businesses on the matter of gender equality. Justice Ginsburg's stirring dissents from recent opinions that have inflicted harsh blows to women's rights in cases involving equal pay, medical leave and contraception, remind us of the long, winding and unfinished road that women have traveled in their march toward equality with men. The court, she said, has never quite embraced "the ability of women to decide for themselves what their destiny will be."

Obama to host Africa summit with an eye on legacy

Isabel C. Christofferson, 92

Isabel Carroll Christofferson, 92, passed peacefully away on July 19, 2014, in Seattle, Wash., surrounded by family. She was known for her intelligence, compassion, tremendous spirit, beauty, and wit, as well as her great love of friends, family and animals. Born Feb. 14, 1922, in Casper, Wyo., one of Floyd Doc and Grace Carroll's six children, she grew up in Wyoming and Hollywood, where her father was a stunt double for the great Western stars of the day, including Tom Mix. When her father became the Wyoming state veterinarian, the family returned to Wyoming and a ranch outside Cheyenne, Remount Ranch, which they owned with author Mary O'Hara and her husband. Isabel liked to tell stories of listening to O'Hara typing away on the book My Friend Flicka when Isabel was a child. Isabel attended the University of Wyoming, where she met her future husband, DuWayne Chris Christofferson, of Rock Springs, Wyo. The two moved to Chicago, where Chris worked as a civil and nuclear engineer for Chicago Bridge and Iron for over four decades, and started a family. In addition to being a loving and adored mother and grandmother, Isabel found time to model, play tennis, and indulge her passion for the arts in particular she was an eloquent writer and loved film. Isabel passed her writing genes on to her children and grandchildren, several of whom are successful authors. Isabel's other great passion was travel. Together, during a marriage that lasted over 50 years, Isabel and Chris traveled the world with their many wonderful friends but they always returned to the West, spending a great deal of time in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, at the family cabin overlooking Lake Coeur d'Alene. In 1997, Isabel's father-who, in addition to being a veterinarian, was the youngest to ever win the World Championship in bronc busting at Cheyenne Frontier Days-was inducted into the Cowboy Hall of Fame's Hall of Great Westerners, joining the likes of Teddy Roosevelt, Sacagawea and Will Rogers. In typical Isabel fashion, Doc's eldest daughter had fought tirelessly for this honor for her father. Speaking before a crowd of Western dignitaries and Hollywood stars, on that night, Isabel accepted the award for her beloved family with grace and humility. After Chris's death, Isabel moved west for the final time, first to Coeur d'Alene, to be with her children and grandchildren. In 2009, she moved to Seattle, to be near her youngest child, Lisa Lisa's partner, Leon Jackson and the light of each of Isabel's days her granddaughter Chlo Isabella. Isabel stayed abreast of the news, enjoyed the company of her family, legions of friends and caretakers, and spoke up for those without voices until the very end. She was greatly loved and will be greatly missed.

TRAPS: Certainly not dog-friendly

Is anyone out there listening? Since we are such a dog friendly community, and advertise that, as being one of our assets. Why is it our dogs are being killed and injured in traps set too close to our recreational areas. The solution is easy. Do not set, bait and hide KILL TRAPS anywhere near our hiking/biking paths. Dogs can smell the bait and are drawn to the traps. When caught, all you can do is watch them die. This has happened more often than you realize. Please put a stop to this before a child or adult fall victim to these traps. Thank you.

That’s funny considering that my column was my opinion, you know, MY TURN. If you bothered to read the whole column, instead of picking out words that suit your purpose and point of view, that would be one thing. I did not say that you didn’t have a right to speak about women and their essential rights. What I did suggest is that if you are going to speak out about what is essentially a women’s issue, until you have the reproductive system of a woman, then and only then can you say birth control, as well as abortion, is not something that should be a woman’s choice.

At that point the cop shot the dog through the window, killing the dog; saying that he thought it was a pit bull.

Sen. Crapo seeks help of North Idaho veterans

The men and women of our Armed Forces face many challenges as they protect our nation. Because of the unique challenges they face and solemn sacrifices they make, Congress must support the needs of service members both on the battlefield and upon their return. The recent exposure of the mistreatment of veterans seeking assistance through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) again underscores the need to improve the delivery of assistance to our nation's veterans. The scandals prove that the stakes are high: Congress must get VA reform right this time. As I work with my congressional colleagues to address the needs of our nation's veterans, the policies I advocate must have a meaningful impact on our veterans in Idaho. In an effort to improve my understanding of veterans' needs, I invite Idahoans to share their VA experiences with me through a brief survey.

In June 1940 I quit school at the end of my junior year and enlisted in the Navy. At that time I received my Honorable Discharge from the 41st Division, the Sunset Division. While I was on “Boot” leave from the Navy in early September the 41st was mobilized for active duty. I missed life in a foxhole by about eight weeks.

I have an 8-year-old pit bull in my household (not my dog), and he is nothing but a big overgrown baby; he loves to chase the ball, retrieve sticks, go swimming and likes people. I do have two 9-month-old kittens who would dearly love to play with Eli the pit bull, but one of my previous kittens gave him a hefty clout on the nose one day as he walked by minding his own business. It left a deep bloody gash on his nose, and he hasn’t forgotten it. Now, he does not trust cats, and evades them whenever possible.
