Of these, all 936 motions passed, and 926 (99 percent) of them passed unanimously. There were 2,326 “aye” votes, and only 10 “nay” votes. I have never known even two people to agree that consistently on anything. It appears the issues may actually have been decided behind closed doors before the public meetings were held.

CARTOON: Don't chase materialism

Regarding the editorial cartoon in Friday’s paper about science education: I am a Christian homeschooler who excels at math and science. Being a Christian does not affect my understanding of how acids and bases react, or biological processes — such as how plants make sugar. I just know that God made it all. In my home, education is valued and the children are taught to appreciate the opportunity of an education. Also, a moral framework is part of my schooling. I am being prepared to be a good citizen of my country, not just to get a good paying job.

ST. VINNIE: Great place to support

As a retired principal, I recall the numerous parents coming into the office asking for help with finances and resources ... from veterans with a difficult time finding work, parents who lost their jobs, to those with illnesses making a devastating impact on family finances.

KILLINGS: Column was enlightening

Thanks to Sholeh Patrick for her in-depth article on the juvenile justice system and the irrationality of trying juveniles as adults. The recent murders are a horrifying act, but the public should consider that the child who perpetrated the acts is the third victim of his actions. His home life was obviously not one that most of us would want for our own children. This kid needs intensive counseling, guidance, and love for a chance to live a normal, productive life.

As a result, we can carry our grudges for many, many years.

STORY: Too grim for young readers

I would like to express my displeasure with Keith Cousins’ article on the front page of the Cd’A Press Wednesday morning (to which my family subscribes). As a parent of a 12-year-old who attends Canfield MS and an uncle to a 15-year-old girl who attends Cd’A HS I would have strongly preferred that the specific details on the methods and means by which Jonathan Samuel died were omitted while we, as parents, work with the school to let the kids digest and process the fact that a fellow student was murdered this week.

It appears that the point I was trying to make in my letter of 3-9-14 went right over some people’s heads. I hate child porn as much as the next person. I think that anyone who rapes a child should be boiled in oil and hung from a tree.

STORY: Missed a key ingredient

I had such hope seeing Jeff Selle at the central committee meeting this week, listening to Gubernatorial Candidate Senator Russ Fulcher address the committeemen. Last month, you and I discussed how Mr. Selle completely ignored Lt. Governor candidate Jim Chmelik’s excellent presentation on the Idaho Lands issue at the last Central Committee meeting. You wrote that you would “talk to Jeff about this.” I thought surely, this time and after your talk, Mr. Selle would at least mention in his March 26th article that one of the Idaho gubernatorial candidates was in town. But no.

The other side of 'switching sides'

I'd like to respond to the front page article, "Switching Sides," in The Press recently. The article documents the "tough decision" that Dan English felt he was forced to make, switching his political party affiliation from Democrat to Republican, enabling him to vote for the "most qualified Republican" in the May primary. While I applaud Mr. English's desire to elect the most qualified individuals, I think it's a safe bet that not everyone shares his high degree of integrity.

'Tough on crime' is tough on kids

For centuries humanity has recognized that all minds are not alike. What each is capable of understanding, and thus, acting upon with reasoned judgment, varies by wide margins. We don't hold someone with developmental disabilities, brain injuries, strokes, or senility to the same standard as those without. Nor do we expect children to think as adults, as their brains are quite literally still developing, with the judgment areas last and still forming through the early 20s.

Sholeh: 'Tough on crime' is tough on kids

  For centuries humanity has recognized that all minds are not alike. What each is capable of understanding, and thus, acting upon with reasoned judgment, varies by wide margins. We don’t hold someone with developmental disabilities, brain injuries, strokes, or senility to the same standard as those without. Nor do we expect children to think as adults, as their brains are quite literally still developing, with the judgment areas last and still forming through the early 20s.

The Clark House is a very large and truly magnificent home from elegant days gone by, and it was a real treat to go there again after many years and spend a couple of hours marveling at the detail and the craftsmanship.

Vacation confirmation and indications

We traveled to Hilton Head, South Carolina last week, a chance to stay with and see friends and family who have relocated to the area. Like most trips, though, we also took the chance to check out wine shops and restaurant wine lists to see not only confirmation of the trends we see in our home market of North Idaho, but indications of what might happen next.

IRONWOOD: Look what it is now

Little did I imagine that I would be “back for parts” when we platted the Ironwood area for Idaho Forest Industries several decades ago. The entire area south of the freeway between Lincoln Way and Northwest Boulevard was almost nothing but open fields, scrub pine and gravel pits. Today it is one of the most important areas in North Idaho, providing services that help us continue to enjoy our little piece of paradise.

Are supplements necessary for good health?

When you reach for that bottle of vitamin C or fish oil pills, you might wonder how well they'll work and if they're safe. Before that, the first thing you should be asking yourself is whether you actually need them in the first place.

A move to get better for NIC

It might seem like a step back, and it is in some ways, but with North Idaho College athletics soon to be moving from the NJCAA Scenic West Athletic Conference to the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges, they could be right where they need to be.

Using words to separate

Leaving my home town, I enlisted in the United States Air Force. I worked on B1-B (Bomber 1, Model B) airplanes. On these planes I also worked on SRAM's (short range attack missiles) and ALCM's (air launch cruise missiles) in the IMF (integrated maintenance facility) of the WSA (weapons storage area). I enlisted as an A1C (airman, first class) and quickly rose to the rank of SSGT (staff sergeant).

WARMING: Globally, it's hot out there

Regarding Cliff Harris’s recent column on the cold U.S. weather. Yes, it was cold here, but does it disprove global warming? Sorry, deniers, it doesn’t. Take a look at the January 2014 global temperature chart. Worldwide, January 2014 was either the third or fourth warmest on record, depending on the source. That little speck of blue over the U.S. showing colder than normal temperatures is overwhelmed on a global scale by huge patches of yellow, orange and red, where temperatures were warmer than normal.

Is your immune system ready for allergy season?

March is the beginning of allergy season, when many people start to notice itchy, watery eyes and nose, sneezing, and coughing. At least one out of every five Americans suffers from allergies. Common causes of allergy symptoms include food allergies such as peanuts or milk, and seasonal resulting from grass, weed, tree pollen, or various molds. Cat or dog allergies can also cause symptoms.

The heart matters

Sometimes you have one of those weeks where it just seems you hear such similar stories from so many people, you wonder what it all means. This last week was one of those weeks. It seemed that every time I turned around, I was talking to someone about issues of the heart - and I mean their actual heart. Some have hearts that have electrophysiology issues, others have hearts that have problems with the heart muscle, and still others have issues with blockage of the important arteries to the heart.

He could never get people to stop and listen to what he had to say, and this saddened and confused him, as after all, he only wanted to share the truth he carried with him.

We are writing to share our concerns about unmarked traps on public lands in Idaho. We are avid trail runners, who also hike with our respective families year-round in the northern panhandle. Recently, while running on a forest service road, one of our dogs was caught in a steel leg hold trap which was set right on the side of the road and was unmarked or tagged. We were able to quickly seek advice, and then restrain and release the dog with a few unfortunate painful bites to our own arms and legs. Had either one of us been alone, this task would have been nearly impossible.

GAY: What they are - and aren't

Lately I’ve been reading a lot of disparaging comments in the paper directed toward our decent gay and lesbian citizens, and would like to add my own thoughts. It’s not a question of “what,” but “who” are gays and lesbians? They are not monsters, abusers or murderers to be avoided, but rather they are someone’s son, daughter, grandchild, aunt or uncle. They are doctors, dentists, nurses, baby sitters, best friends, counselors, teachers, lawyers and military personnel protecting all of us and our nation. They’ve fought for you, our and their (yes, it is “their” country too) country.

Thanks, GOP, for galvanizing Democrats

As chair of the Kootenai County Central Committee, I am compelled to respond.

It appears now that the expressed interest of the radical right to take over every board with taxing authority has now extended to the Kootenai County Democratic Central Committee.

What is carpal tunnel?

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the hand, becomes compressed between the displaced bones of the wrist. Nerve signals originate in the brain and follow tracts down the spinal cord through openings between the cervical vertebrae in your neck. The nerves then travel down the arm and into the hand. At the wrist, a semicircular tunnel allows the nerves to travel through the highly mobile wrist area. The tunnel is a narrow and rigid passageway of ligaments and bones at the wrist, and contains the median nerve and tendons. The tunnel deforms when there is sprain or damage to the ligaments, allowing the bones to move away from their normal positions.

I would like to express my opinion on the firefighters raising money during their performances. I like that they are going through all that work to prepare for the event. I think it is very thoughtful of them to raise money for their own supplies so that we citizens do not have to pay for it through taxes. I think they should hold more events like this because it also brings performances to schools and other such places.

Hearing it firsthand

Tasting wine - whether it is at the winery, a wine tasting, or a winemaker dinner held locally - is always the best way to buy wine. You try it, you like it and you buy it - or you try it, think "not so much" and decide not to buy it. The important thing is that you actually have the chance to evaluate the wine for yourself to guide your buying decisions.

TROOPS: Answer the call for liberty

Why do we have troops around the world, most notably in Europe, Japan and Korea? What’s the point? Isn’t it to protect freedom loving people from those who would enslave them if they have the chance?

Don't sell yourself short when it comes to sleep

We have so many demands on our time - jobs, family, errands - not to mention finding some time to relax. To fit everything in, we often sacrifice sleep. But sleep affects both mental and physical health, and it's extremely vital to your wellbeing. Of course, sleep helps you feel rested each day, but while you're sleeping, your brain and body don't just shut down. Internal organs and processes are still hard at work throughout the night as sleep continues to service all aspects of our body, like energy balance and intellectual function while we're in slumber.

Every now and then, I have patients come into my office who haven't received any dental care for a long period of time - sometimes even decades. It is always fascinating to me the amount of variety that I see in these exams. Many times, of course, the patient has several cavities, and may even need more extensive dental work like extractions, root canals, or crowns. This is what we would expect from years of neglect, and it usually comes as no surprise to us or the patient. In these cases, we simply do our best to start where we are and fix what we can.

Emma C. Miller, 96

Emma C. Miller passed away March 18, 2014, in Spokane Valley, Wash. Emma was born December 18, 1917, in Carlin Bay, ID. Her parents, Gus and Hattie Higgelke, came over from Germany and became farmers of alfalfa, wheat and various livestock. She was the middle child, having an older brother and a younger sister. Emma attended a one room school house with 40 students. She had fond memories of her mother teaching her sewing, needlecrafts, and cooking. Her mother had her own spinning wheel and everything was handmade. All of their stockings, hats and gloves were made with love by her mother. That was the main reason Emma always enjoyed knitting, sewing and crocheting in her spare time. One specialty that Emma loved was cooking delicious meals. After graduating from Coeur d’Alene High School in 1936, she left her family and went to New York City where she attended Culinary School. After graduating, Emma returned to Idaho and attended a community college for more cooking instruction.

EMPIRE: U.S. is going down

Presidents always make good scapegoats, regardless of which party is in office. Like I said before, the U.S. is going down, just like other empires before it. An empire needs an emperor; and our emperor is the corporation. Just like Mitt Romney said, “Corporations are people.” They were given that status by the 14th Amendment to the Constitution (corporate personhood), and like some people, they are psychopaths. Their bottom line is always profit, regardless of who gets hurt.

Putting treasurer's spat into historical perspective

Recent news articles surrounding the Kootenai County Treasurer's and the Idaho State Treasurer's investment strategies read like an old Theodore Dreiser novel. No, not his most famous novel, "An American Tragedy," published in 1925 and made into two movies; most notably "A Place in the Sun" starring Elizabeth Taylor, Montgomery Clift, and Shelley Winters in 1951. Most of Dreiser's tales contain similar themes: have-nots who yearn for much more than the world gives them. It is his novel, "The Financier" published in 1912, that departs from the longing for money and social standing theme and delves into the world of public finance and the marketplace. Writing in the Wall Street Journal in 2012, Leonard Cassuto calls it "the greatest of all American business novels."

Good vs. evil

I am a hopeful optimist. I believe people are intrinsically good and truly care about the well-being of each other. I know people hope for a good life, good friends, to smile more than they frown and to share love as much as they receive love. I also believe children are born innocent and maintain their innocence throughout their childhood unless their innocence is taken from them by a psychological disorder, drug or alcohol affected caregiver or poor parenting.

ANIMALS: They need some help

Animal lovers, please don’t forget those being held at the fairgrounds at the cost of the county.

SCHOOLS: First, get all the facts

I really appreciated Mike Ruskovich’s February 14 My Turn column, “Look Closer at ‘Don't Fail Idaho.’”

SCHOOLS: Big issues to confront

I am writing in response to the My Turn column by Ronald Deady on 3-1-14. I will concede that there are always improvements that can be done to improve the delivery of education. I do not think it is in total meltdown. It is much more complex than just the schools. Usually it is always a ploy for more money. All they ever say is Idaho is number 48 in support of schools, i.e. money spent. This is only one measure, and not a good one at that.

DRIVERS: Bad weather, good job

Just wanted to give a big blessing to all the truckers, newspaper people, and the people who deliver our mail.

SCHOOLS: 'Add words' timeline

At the January and February School Board meetings, Tim Scott and John Padula asked the Board "How much do you know about the transgender policies that are coming to the District?" Chair Hearn said, "There has not been any request made to the board regarding any transgender issues." This seemed very, very unlikely to me, so I did a public records request for all emails from Superintendent Matt Handelman, Tom Hearn and Christa Hazel, from September 2013 through February 2014.

There is a major discrepancy in this state between the “north” and the “south.” I returned last week from the Idaho State Girls High School Basketball Tournament in Nampa at the Ford United Dairyman’s Association Arena. Happily, the Coeur d’Alene girls won state!

HUMANE: Losing an unlucky friend

I am sad. I have volunteered at the Kootenai Humane Society animal shelter for three years. I can only go once a week because I work full time at another job. I am not an authority on animal behavior and do not have a business sense of things. I spoke with another long-time volunteer last evening. Since we no longer volunteer on the same days she deeps me informed on the dogs who get their well deserved “forever home.” She told me about a dog, named Lotto, who is going to be killed this coming week at the shelter. Apparently an adult woman put her fingers between the chain links of his small kennel and he bit her. Now her partner is demanding that the dog be euthanized. So, Lotto is kenneled in the back room awaiting the 10 days holding time that is “required” to make sure he does not have rabies.

As age goes up, so does happiness

With each passing year, each related study or survey, the mind-body connection becomes clearer. Addressing one without at least acknowledging the other is foolhardy. Extra stress or anxiety? No wonder you caught that cold. Stretch that long term and risks of heart disease, cancer, and a whole lot more increase. Conversely, reduce anxiety or change perception, and risks decrease, along with aches, pains, and interrupted sleep.

Five states alone account for nearly 37 percent of the negative equity in the U.S. CoreLogic reports that the following five states have the highest percentage of mortgaged properties in negative equity:

GUNS: For students to defend themselves

I have heard a lot of different opinions about students possessing firearms on college campuses. Some are concerned about more shootings on school grounds, but it seems that every time a maniacal killer attacks somewhere, it is a “gun free zone.” How should we look at this? Well, what if several responsible students had firearms of their own to defend themselves? During a shooting, there are students in the event who would never consider leading an armed assault on their fellow students. What if these people had firearms for self-defense? There are responsible students out there who, if given the choice to be armed, could stop a shooting more quickly.

Is technology killing your posture?

Your mom told you to always stand up straight - and she was right. Poor posture can lead to many problems including head, face, neck, shoulder, upper back, and arm pain. Studies have demonstrated that a forward head, increased thoracic kyphosis (rounded upper back), and rounded shoulders raise the incidence of cervical (neck), interscapular (between the shoulder blades) and headache pain. Another study demonstrated that an increased angle between the head and neck (forward head) raises the incidence of TMJ (jaw) pain and chronic tension headaches.

How healthy are you?

Years ago I trained with an internal medicine physician in Seattle. He had a practice where he cared for a lot of patients with complicated musculoskeletal issues and autoimmune diseases. One of the things he taught me as a physical therapist was to pay close attention to what patients were eating and drinking in order to obtain optimal healing. He was convinced that when normal healing was not happening in a timely fashion, it ultimately had something to do with their food and drink intake. He was so convinced of it that he would have special time frames that he would meet his patients at Whole Foods and teach them how to shop for good foods and then how to combine the foods for optimal healing and overall health. His patients then experienced amazing results when they began to eat for their health.

A carwash looks different from a C-store; and an office looks different than a retail building.

GAY: Criticism isn't bigotry

I, too, believe that discrimination when based on one’s beliefs or lifestyle is wrong. But is changing our laws to sanction a minority’s lifestyle a good idea? Our founding fathers recognized that laws are needed in order to advance and protect our society. Laws that were passed were based on the three fundamentals that are the foundation of our society: Faith, family and community.
