ACA: Check your sources

Regarding Dale Hedman’s letter printed Nov. 21, he needs to check his source more carefully. Jonathan Gruber, an MIT Economist, was a paid consultant on the Affordable Health Act as well as on Vermont’s and Michigan’s health marketplaces. He is presently being discredited by both Democrats and Republicans and those two states who question his veracity after referring to the “stupidity of the American voter” and other comments. That was his quote and his quote alone. To infer that that was the thinking of those working on the Affordable Health Act is simply wrong. Michigan State Rep. Tom McMillin is quoted by the Wall Street Journal (Nov. 21) as saying “He seems to have a proclivity for deception or fraud.”

When the cheering stopped

With the glut of college basketball tournaments on the tube this holiday weekend, you couldn't help but notice one thing:

WARDELL: Kudos to a good man

After reading the comments made about Wendell Wardell no longer being in his position of COO in the school district, I must say the comments were pretty cruel. I know Wendell Wardell personally and admire him very much. It’s obvious the whole thing is political and most likely based on his age. The youngins’ just don’t want to hear what the “seasoned” people have to say. We’ve been there and done that, doesn’t matter. Wendell has served his country ... not too many people can say that anymore. Thanks for your service, Wendell!

ARTICLE: Local is always better

I find it inexcuseable that the Press had to “import” an article for Thursday’s Outdoor section about Casting for Recovery in Sisters, Ore. Casting for Recovery is alive and well right here in North Idaho, and has been for over 3 years. The North Idaho Flycasters in partnership with the Kelly Creek Fly Fishers of Lewiston, have sponsored Casting for Recovery retreats for the past three summers at the Shoshone Base Camp. 14 women have participated each year in all expense paid adventures on the beautiful Coeur d’Alene River. The Press even printed pictures of our last fundraising dinner this last October, but apparently wasn’t interested enough to ask about the program or assign someone to do a little “investigative” reporting and discover that this program exists right here. The Casting for Recovery regional director for North Idaho and eastern Washington is Charlene Douglas who lives in Lewiston.

Today, the population is about 20 percent white, 70 percent black and 10 percent other, with about 70 percent of the crimes attributed to black people.

Eight ways for holiday health

I just love this time of year with all of its traditions and festivities. I love to visit with all my family and friends and celebrate another year together. I especially love all the good food, treats, and last minute invitations for fun activities. Along with all that action, my plan for a healthy life can often go right out the window. So try a few little things to help you be healthy while you are having fun.

I've been fortunate to know and interview a number of centenarians through the years and it's always fascinating to hear personal frames of reference that are like reading a history book.

Spinal decompression therapy vs. traction

The key difference between regular traction and spinal decompression therapy is the computer. It controls the variations in the traction pull, allowing for spinal decompression that eliminates muscle guarding that is typical in conventional traction devices. The preprogrammed patterns for ramping up and down the amount of axial distraction allows for higher levels of spinal decompression and disc re-hydration.

Progesterone: Is your estrogen and progesterone in balance?

Progesterone is equally as important to women as estrogen. It is made in the ovaries before menopause, and some is produced in the adrenal glands after menopause. Progesterone is the first of the hormones to start declining, typically at 30 years of age, causing many symptoms such as anxiety, depression, irritability, mood swings, insomnia, pain and inflammation, osteoporosis, decreased HDL cholesterol levels, and excessive menstruation.

My mom has diabetes, does that mean she will develop hearing loss too?

Research shows that hearing loss is more prevalent in people with diabetes and especially those with type II diabetes. Her age and how well she takes care of herself also play a part. Hearing loss is usually a combination of many factors, not just one like being diabetic, but the condition of diabetes alone can be damaging to the nerves and blood vessels of the inner ear, which may lead to sensori-neural hearing loss. At the initial identification of diabetes the person may have normal hearing, but then have their hearing deteriorate as the disease progresses.

The tradition of Presidential Proclamations of Thanksgiving, initiated in 1789 by George Washington, in the form of a non-controversial executive order, quickly became a vessel for exaltation of blessings secured and those Americans hoped would endure, including cherished civil and religious liberties, as well as what Washington sought: enactment of “wise, just and constitutional laws.” The conclusions of war, or their diminution, often have evoked from presidents expressions of thanks that lives might be spared and peace restored. Poverty, afoot in America since the beginning, frequently has been singled out as a striking condition requiring correction.

NORTH IDAHO COLLEGE ROUNDUP: NIC wrestlers win twice, compete in tourney today

AIRPORT: Time to look ahead

When I think about the changes in the area in the past 10 years, 20 years, 30 years, there has been a big increase in development. Let us look ahead 50 years. This valley will be filled with development. Spokane Valley will be all developed to the state line. Sandpoint and Bonners Ferry will have a big increase in development. Kellogg, Wallace, St. Maries and Plummer areas will have a large increase in development. The airport is an integral part of this whole region.

Low rates only part of the picture

Even though interest rates for 30-year mortgages dipped below 4 percent again last week, that is not the only good news. More on that later. Prior to the announced average of 3.99 percent interest we received reports that home loan activity has increased. The Mortgage Bankers Association reports in its weekly mortgage market survey the week ending Nov. 14 that loan demand was on the rise driven mostly by applications to purchase a home.

Opinion: This isn't a color issue

In the Saturday edition of the Press a half-page Associated Press article about Ruby Bridges, a civil rights figure, has stated that racism and segregation is on the rise, the implication being that whites are the cause of it. I take exception to that. Ms. Bridges, if racism is on the rise it's because of the likes of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Charlie Rangle, who stoke the fires of racism for personal political and financial gain. Add to that media images of blacks looting and burning down their own cities when a black person is shot by a white person, but ignoring the multitude of deaths of blacks by blacks in the inner cities. If racism and segregation is on the rise, it's not caused by whites. It's created by blacks.

Citizens, take back your country

Strategic steps need be taken to win back our democracy. At present, our elected officials, from local to national, are elected, and very often do not represent the best interests of the people.

The following concept - Tuesday Night - would refocus politicians' efforts on their constituents, where it always should have been.

EAT: It's deer vs. predators

There has been lots of discussion in our area recently regarding the overpopulation of deer. Think on this: Eliminating (or at least trying to) predators such as wolves, who used to keep the population in check, and out of our neighborhoods/yards/gardens. It seems that those who most wish to rid us of these natural controllers are the same folks who want to wipe out the predators. If there is any sense to our continued disruption of our environment, I’m sure someone will respond and let me know what that is.

LIBERALS: Source of division in U.S.

The political left uses the race card to purposely create division between blacks and whites. They don’t want harmony, as that doesn’t fit with their agenda. They make every effort to remove God from public buildings and schools wherever they can. What they want is a non-Christian nation in hopes that it will be replaced by Islam.

POST: Simply follow the law

The Knapps of the “Hitching Post” aren’t being “forced to violate their religious beliefs,” they’re being told to obey the law of our land. They opened their doors and invited the public to purchase their services. They’re in it for the money and the public is there for their services.

Does Hayden want to close the airport?

So much misinformation is swirling about the airport that I felt it would be helpful if the public knew what is really at stake. Let's start with this simple fact. The city of Hayden wants to extend Ramsey Road past (or through!) the airport, and nine of the 11 proposed routes would place Ramsey Road cutting across the airport property and inside the official Runway Protection Zone (RPZ). If this is done, the FAA guidelines require that the official "end" of the 7,400-foot runway be reduced to as short as 5,000 feet to maintain the 2,500-foot RPZ. This would result in a loss of certification to have an ILS instrument landing runway, and also give up the airport Part 139 certification.

Fall derby is Saturday

Is Idaho as corrupt as Washington, D.C.?

As a conservative state legislator from rural Idaho, member of the House Education Committee, supporter of the Idaho Education Network (IEN), and lifelong Republican, I have been carefully watching this issue since 2009 when a state contract was awarded to connect Idaho's schools, libraries, and many state agencies with high speed Internet. The federal tax on Idahoans' phones was to pay 75 percent of the cost. Correctly done, it brings the world to Idaho students and citizens, especially in rural areas. However, when it becomes illegal and corrupt, I must speak out.

The knees have it

The snow season is fast approaching and it's time to get ready. We have about four weeks before the snow should be flying, and you will need your knees to be in tip-top shape to be able to do their job for you this season. Your knees are the shock absorbers of the system. They are the ones that get caught in the middle between the ground reaction forces from your feet up to the action of your hips. When you are downhill skiing, snow shoeing, cross-country skiing, or just walking your dogs in the snow, your knees have to be ready for all the action with their joint and muscle sensors revved up and ready to go. They need the appropriate muscles firing in the right motor control patterns to keep you safe, and your training needs to start now before the slippery stuff arrives.

Yes, we do seem to have some winds, some snow in the winter. You probably don’t realize this, being a blue-blooded Californian, but you see, Millie, that is what it does here in the winter: SNOW!

The most important gift

If you were to ask someone what they value most in life, they would say family, church, pets, maybe their job, and their health. Some forget about the latter until you ask, "what about your health?" Then it's an emphatic "oh yes!" Yet when it comes to paying to stay well, many don't prioritize the cost, or pay the minimum possible. When they are stressed, the time they need support the most, that's when they stop eating well, exercising, getting their supplements or seeking health-supportive therapies. I saw a sign in a doctor's office one time that said, "You will either pay to be well, or pay when you are ill, but either way, you pay." If either way you have to pay, why not invest in the healthier option?

As far as the wind goes I don’t know what you’re talking about and of course Idaho has crappy wages compared to California. Coeur d’Alene is not too far away to come to the stores you mentioned. There must have been some reason that you moved to beautiful North Idaho. Maybe it’s time to pack up and move back and let the wind carry you there.

Leonard "Ray" Kyer, 87

Leonard "Ray" Kyer passed away November 08, 2014 at his daughter's home in Rathdrum, Idaho; he was 87 years old. He was born in Spencer, West Virginia on September 10, 1927 to Henry R. and Minnie (Hoff) Kyer. Ray was the second youngest of five children and was called "Babe" as a child. He did not know that was not his name until he started first grade. He grew up in Spencer and left home at the age of 17 when he "fibbed" about his age so he could join the Merchant Marines. He returned after 2 years, completed high school, and graduated in 1946. Joining the Air Force was next for Ray and, while stationed in Denver, Colorado, he met the love of his life, Jean, on a blind date. They were married 46 days after they met and enjoyed 53 1/2 years together before Jean's passing in 2003. Ray made the Air Force his career for 21 years and with their children, Don, Lindy and Kathy, they had many adventures in the United States and overseas.

Genevieve C. Shaver-Hibbard, 87

Genevieve C. Shaver-Hibbard was born September 18, 1927, in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, to parents Joseph Hopperstad and Clara (Nelson) Hopperstad. With her father being Norwegian and her mother Swedish, her ancestry is totally Scandinavian. This may account for her life-long gentle (if not somewhat stubborn) nature. Other than her father, she never knew any of the Hopperstad family, and sadly her father died when Genevieve was eight years old so she really never knew him and has few memories of him. She did remember her mother's family, the Nelsons, aunts and uncles and especially Grandma and Grandpa Nelson. Grandpa Nelson always had time to spend with Genevieve, and she remembers how he would peel an apple or carve a piece of wood for her. So in spite of losing her father at an early age and growing up during the Great Depression, she had many fond memories of her childhood. Some of you remember the difficult times during the 1930's, when jobs and money were almost nonexistent. Be that as it was, Genevieve's mother was able to find enough work, usually 2 or 3 part-time jobs at a time, and able to keep Genevieve and her younger sister Marjorie well dressed, fed and in a nice home. Being a widow raising two young girls by herself was indeed a challenging task but to her credit she did an admirable job.

Stress during this time of year worsens all cravings - cravings for sugar, tobacco, drugs, alcohol and others.

What are hormones and how do they affect me?

Hormones in the body were designed to rejuvenate, regenerate and restore. They serve as powerful chemical messengers (communicators) sent to specific cells throughout your body to orchestrate many of your body's internal functions, as well as how your organs behave. There are many different hormones your body produces in order to achieve a balance. Even small fluctuations in levels can cause big changes in cells, or even disrupt the balance throughout your entire body. This is another reason to be cautious when selecting hormone replacement therapy. The goal should always be hormonal balance based in science, rather than experimentation or guessing. Many therapies merely attempt to replenish estrogen and/or progesterone and testosterone, but never achieve homeostasis. Too many physicians lack the expertise or knowledge to attain the proper outcome. Many endocrinologists will tell you that hormonal balance equates to health. Research continues to indicate that hormones are key to the intricate interrelationships of the body's parts and systems. They play a pivotal role in your overall health and well-being.

AIRPORT: Need more probing

Where are the investigative reporters from the Coeur d’Alene Press?

Don’t leave it to all the people who have written letters and gone to meetings to keep this in the public eye.

RECALL: Now, pay the price

Shameful. Just absolutely shameful. That is how I feel as a citizen of the Mica-Kidd Island Fire District to see that this ridiculous recall effort succeeded. That so many of you bought into the recall efforts led by Jim King, Nancy King and Gretchen Hauser. They manipulated so many of you into believing that a good, honest and hardworking man like Chris Shelton did something wrong because they don’t want a well-equipped and trained volunteer fire department. Mr. King has even said in an open public meeting that if his house was on fire to “let my house burn and I’ll get my family out.”

TURNOUT: No vote, no whine

So Kootenai County had roughly a 23 percent voter turnout, which means around 15 percent of registered voters decided that we should stay the course. Idaho, bottom of America’s barrel when it comes to education and livable wages, and it appears we like it that way.

Brush, floss and gargle

Much of what people know about dentistry these days is reactionary. For example, a person feels pain or has a chipped tooth, and when they go to the dentist, they find out that they will need a filling or root canal with a crown. Waiting this long has put the tooth or teeth in jeopardy, requiring work to save it instead of a routine cleaning or filling. It could have been prevented or significantly reduced with knowledge about brushing frequency, technique, flossing, chemical attack with rinses and toothpastes, and awareness of the large role that the time in a person's life and the external environment play. Daily oral care basics are needed, but people do have to change or add to their daily regiment on an individual basis. For instance, a person's diet generally changes every five to seven years, this will modify care for your dentition, oral bone and gum health. This is especially true for those with health conditions that affect the immune system, glands, blood, saliva flow, gastro-intestinal tract, vitamin absorption, acid reflux, or sleep disorders. Diabetes is one of these conditions that have multiple affects on your body but also on your mouth.

Preventing colds and flu naturally

Colds are the number one reason for missed days of school and work. Adults average two to four colds each year, while children average about five. As temperatures drop, we begin to congregate indoors, and we are more likely to spread viruses. Although viruses trigger your cold or flu symptoms, it is not the real cause of illness. The real reason you get sick is because of an impaired immune system.

What is cortisol and how does it affect me?

Cortisol is the only hormone in the body that increases with age. It is made by your adrenal glands and is essential to our survival. Produced when under stress, cortisol is responsible for maintaining the ability to process sugars, sustain blood pressure, and react to stressors that trigger illness. As an antagonist to insulin, cortisol metabolizes carbohydrates and proteins, relieves inflammation, and allows the body to adapt to a broad range of circumstances. However, in today's world, a 365-24-7 lifestyle can result in high levels of cortisol for prolonged periods, leading to obesity, high blood pressure, and adrenal fatigue. In contrast, low levels of cortisol have been observed in patients with chronic fatigue and stress-related disorders.

Dehydration and its effects on your health

Dehydration occurs when your body does not have enough fluids to perform its normal functions. Your body loses more water and other fluids than it takes in, leading to a potentially serious medical condition. Excessive sweating, the use of diuretics, excessive alcohol use, serious diarrhea, fever and vomiting can cause dehydration. Failure to drink fluids during exercise or in hot weather also can cause dehydration.

Buzz about butter

There is peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, soy nut butter, and everything in between. Alternatives to peanut butter are becoming more and more popular in the everyday diet.
