The scoop on poop: Part 1
Constipation is a condition that effects one in eight individuals in the U.S. Though not a disease per se, it can lead to many health conditions, such as hemorrhoids, diverticulitis, fissures, fecal impaction rectal prolapse and others. It is also associated with a range of illnesses such as Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, IBS, MS, chronic inflammatory bowel disease, multiple chemical sensitivities and food sensitivities. There are several causes of constipation. The good news is that (except in some rare situations) it is one condition that is clearly within our control.

GUNS: Blame the Democrats
Chris Carlson’s article, “The time is here for gun law changes,” is typical of a Democrat’s mind-set. They will tell you its unfair to blame Muslims for Jihadist terrorist’s attacks, but blame the NRA, guns and gun owners for shootings. Democrats are always working toward totally disarming the public. Examples during my lifetime have been the Democrat Party efforts to ban handguns as “Saturday Night Specials,” Hunting rifles as “High Powered Sniper Rifles,” and now semi-auto rifles as “Assault Weapons and Weapons of War.” Democrats generally believe the government has the right to dictate your life from cradle to grave.
GUNS: Blame the person
In response to Chris Carlson’s “The time is here for gun law changes,” I disagree with his opinion. As most anti-gunners do, he advocates blaming the implement and not deal with the person of ill intent behind it. The problem is much larger than an inanimate object but it is easier for anti-gun people to control it rather than people. You can’t legislate safety and even if you were able to completely eliminate guns, those wishing to do harm would still find ways to hurt others.

In response to “Assault Weapons Out” by Turns East in the June 17 Press, your letter to the editor is representative of the ignorance that prevails in our society today. In “mass shootings” involving the deaths of four people or more over the last 30 years in this country, an average of 18 people per year have been killed. By comparison, an average of more than 12,000 people per year are killed by drunk drivers in this country. Yet there is no clamor to ban alcohol, maybe since Prohibition didn’t work the first time?

I appreciate the editorial left us on Sunday (June 4) by professional engineer David E. Bruderly. He says that CO2 levels were about 320 ppmv when his grandparents were born, and they are on track to soon double (in the lifetime of his grandchildren). We usually think of “soon” as being a couple of years, and the lifetime of his grandchildren could easily be 50 years. CO2 is now around 400 ppmv (parts per million by volume). Double 320 would equal 640. Let us say that his grandparents were born 100 years ago, so from 320 to 400 is 80 ppmv. At that rate it would take 256 years to double. And, it has not yet been determined exactly what effect a doubling of carbon dioxide will have on the world temperature.

Weight-loss hormones & OSA
There are two hormones that are affected by obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The hormones gherlin and leptin have been found to be elevated in patients with OSA. OSA is a sleep disorder in which sleep is accompanied with periods of time, 10 seconds or longer, when the patient stops breathing because of an airway collapse. A recent patient in my office was tested for OSA and we found that she stopped breathing over 40 times per hour and each event was for an average of nearly 30 seconds. That means that every minute and a half, the patient stopped breathing for over a half a minute! And this went on all night long; this is a huge stress on the heart.

Candida overgrowth and your health
Candida albicans is a yeast that normally exists on your skin, in your digestive tract and, for women, in your vagina. In your intestines, the good bacteria should keep the yeast under control and in a healthy balance. This complex system is largely responsible for protecting your body from outside offenders. Using antibiotics, taking birth control pills, and eating too much sugar and grains can all disrupt the balance of bacteria in your gut, which allows Candida cells to rapidly develop, and overwhelm, the good bacteria.

LCHS students give thanks, advice
Andrea Partington has many things to offer to her students. From targeted sarcasm to constructive and VERY helpful critiques. As a student that she truly adores I enjoy many of these qualities. She is always willing to point you in the right direction and advise you when making large decisions about what would be in your best academic interest. She always makes a genuine effort to catch her students up from absences and try’s her very hardest to accommodate students when they are pulled out of class from extracurricular activities. She has a hard eye for the rules and I really love that! If she believes students have dropped below their required academic achievement level for their activities she will be the first person to be in the office talking with administration about this problem. Often she catches these issues even before the coaches or activity participants notice so by the time the students are aware of the problem administration has already taken action to help the student correct this error. This is so great! It makes it literally impossible for students to fall behind! Andrea Partington has become an incredible teacher who truly gives her students the opportunity to fully understand the curriculum and really learn a lot! So even though many believe that retirement is near for Mrs. P., I think she should teach forever! She has been a wonderful teacher and I have adored having her class in the same way that she has adored teaching me.

Main Street: Archived interviews tell story of our town
On Friday, Bert and I enjoyed dinner at Sargent’s in Hayden, a place you’re bound to see familiar faces. Seated at the table next to us was a couple celebrating their 65th wedding anniversary. I was thinking the gentleman looked familiar and later figured out why. The long happily married couple were Don and Fern Johnston and Don served as Coeur d’Alene’s mayor 1977-81.

Shortly after each of us begins to drink wine many of us start to think about collecting wine. We find bottlings we are enamored with and think how nice it would be to have some around. Whether it be for a special occasion, or just a special mood, it occurs to us that rather than trying to track down that special bottle or something similar, it would be great just to snatch one from the rack and “pop the cork.”

OIL: Stop and think
Before you start squawking about the awful oil trains that haul oil from our one-area code sparsely populated states to coastal counties where more than 80 percent of Americans live just remember we didn’t want oil extracted on our coasts. We forget that pipelines leaked oil into the Yellowstone River or exploded beneath a San Bruno, Calif., neighborhood. Yet we built homes right next to pipelines in Post Falls.
How long does it take to get hearing aids?
It depends on what style of hearing aid you are purchasing. If you are purchasing one of the new mini BTE’s (Behind the Ear) your hearing health care office may have some in stock that you may take home that day. There are generally two types of mini BTE’s. One is an open fit model, which has a selection of tubes, and tips that can usually fit anyone’s ear shape. The other type is a receiver in the canal, which also has a selection of receivers, and dome tips that can usually fit anyone’s ear shape. Some offices stock these types of aids but you usually have to special order the color that matches your hair.

Bullying with technology
A fifth-grade girl is crying on the bench at the school where I work. I sit next to her and ask what is wrong? She tearfully says, “Someone is going to kill me.” I comfort her as we walk to my office in search of privacy. Once in my office I ask her to explain. She calms slightly while pulling a cellphone from her pocket. Without talking, she searches the phone for a text, finds it and hands me the phone. The text reads, “You stinky ****, everyone at school hates you, I asked them, and we all wish you were dead.” I ask, “Did you show this to your mom?” The scared little girl responds, “No; if I do my mom will take away my phone.”

Asthma and obstructive sleep apnea
The links between asthma and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) suggest that OSA alone is a risk factor for making asthma episodes worse. And many studies also show that people with asthma are more prone to develop OSA. It seems that many of the things that happen in most asthma patients promote OSA. These are obstructions in the nose, an increase in the ability of the upper airway to collapse, and a decrease in the size of the airway.

Plaudits are due to the late comedian Danny Thomas who started this hospital and his daughter, Marlo, who currently speaks and pleads for it. (Of course St. Jude had a hand in it as well.)

LEARNING: Nurture the love
An education is more than learning colors, shapes and numbers. It exceeds calculus and world history. True education nurtures a love for learning. It makes pathways to the unknown and creates something different, a passion sparked by curiosity. When we let kids be creative and get rid of our ideas of what we think things should look like, they unlock doors to the unknown world around us.

KITTENS: End abandonment
I’d like to confront the moronic, socially irresponsible jerk who dropped off in my neighborhood recently several half-starved kittens. If this coward had simply taken the mother cat and her kittens to the Kootenai Humane Society, which has a no-kill policy, for a reasonable donation they would have been adequately accommodated. Now, I’ll do my best to trap these kittens and take them to KHS. Two of the cats are calico, so I must assume they’re female and, if they survive, will reproduce more starving, disease-prone, frightened offspring.

Actors never know who they really are because that changes from one script to another. Their world is what they want it to be — reality is foreign to them and interferes with their fantasies. They can live in a world where they know everything and can do all things. They can design it without interference from those pesky commoners. In fact, they get invited onto TV programs, world tours and Washington soirées to hold forth on their subjects of interest — just as if they actually knew something. Then they go home to their gated communities, armed guards and adoring fans.

High cholesterol and sleep disorders
You must sleep to maintain your overall health. Your quality of sleep has everything to do with your energy level and ability to do the things you have to do each day. If your quality of sleep is poor, you might have a sleep disorder. This may actually be caused by obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and can be very harmful to your health. About 20 million Americans have OSA, and 90 percent are not even diagnosed, according to the National Sleep Foundation. And the amazing thing about OSA is that it is able to be treated.
