A soldier died today

On this Memorial Day we honor our war dead. Countless are those who heroically gave their lives so that we can live ours, knowing our freedom is because of them. Our Gold Star families cherish the memory of their loved ones lost in war. Our Blue Star families pray every day that their loved ones will come home safely. The families who live in freedom here at home while their loved ones are doing battle in foreign lands, know the sacrifice, not only of their troopers, but their own anguish. Currently it is said that one percent serve to protect the 99 percent here at home. These brave men and women on the front lines of freedom need and deserve our devotion. To the families who have loved ones who gave it all, we honor them on this 150th anniversary of Memorial Day.

Farm-to-table in your own backyard

Fresh salsa

Farm-to-table is a trend that is becoming increasingly popular among U.S. restaurants. What is farm-to-table? It can hold a different meaning depending on how one looks at it. A blanket meaning is the production process from harvest to consumption, and everything in between such as packaging and sales. However, some argue that true farm-to-table is prepared food that comes directly from a farm, or garden, without going through the distribution process. The Garnet Café on Walnut in Coeur d’Alene is one such restaurant which a lot of the food comes from the owners’ farm, McLane Farms, just minutes away.

Over 1.1 million acres burned across Washington with over 800,000 acres in Idaho. For this year, there have already been several small blazes reported in eastern Washington.

SLAVES: An urban reality

There is a growing movement, spearheaded by the politically correct agenda, suggesting that descendants of slaves should receive restitution for the actions of some of our white ancestors. Is this issue going to be added to the Democratic platform to obtain the rest of the black vote? Black Americans have been played like a fiddle. In effect, they are being held as slaves by the Democratic Party. Over the last few decades, billions of federal dollars have been poured into large cities to keep the communities afloat. The golden goose, however, is losing its ability to lay eggs. Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland and other liberal Democratic strongholds are going broke and the rest of us are expected to bail them out. Jimmy Carter is not considered to be one of our better presidents; however, he knew that pouring more money into large city coffers would compound city problems and draw more black and indigent white people to the blighted areas.

Political elections are a critical piece of our American way of life, and being so, they often engender a great deal of passion from the supporters of candidates. Although Rep. Sims and I certainly have differences of opinion on various policy issues facing our state, I think it is important to recognize and thank her for her numerous contributions and service to Coeur d’Alene and Idaho.

I find your piece on little Cooper Surplus and his parents celebrating around a dead bear extremely disturbing.

I view it, as many of your other readers, as a senseless, cruel act. To kill a defenseless bear that died in pain and fear is nothing more than psychotic behavior carried out by a dysfunctional family who are nothing more than social misfits. They take pleasure in posing with the dead animal with much glee. It’s disgusting and the Coeur d’Alene Press should not enable and encourage these heartless cowards and dress up their deed as some kind of “Feel Good” article.

Jimmy lived a wonderful life

Considered by many to be the embodiment of America’s best characteristics, actor Jimmy Stewart, whose birthday is Friday, was best known for playing affable, idealistic, yet conflicted characters who always prevailed in classic films. We remember him as George Bailey in “It’s a Wonderful Life,” a man who never managed to tour the world but found its center in home and community. Or as the reluctant senator whose famous filibuster in “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” reminded audiences what politics should be, and shouldn’t.

This is where America is today. Bathrooms will be forced into being single person use (a la Kroc swim changing area) because, well, businesses will be forced to do it. This will be a big expense for Mom & Pop and while they might be able to afford the renovation, what used to be a men’s room with one or two urinals and a stall will become one unisex bathroom and the women’s went from two or three to one unisex. All to appease .07 percent because of their “feelings.”

FOOD BANKS: Worthy of support

My favorite magazine — The Economist — is a knowledgeable and durable publication, closing in on its 200th anniversary. Not long ago it had an insightful article about charities. As we all know, many are frauds and steal billions of dollars from unsuspecting donors every year. Many more are legitimate and deserve the support they receive from donors. When asked to pick the one type of charity that gets the most bang for the bucks they receive, food banks come out on top. This is not to demean other types of charities, as the legitimate ones all provide fantastic aid and assistance to their clientele. But food banks, because of their simple business plan and stripped down overhead, really shine.

We thank all our contacts in ‘the business” for their regular updates and opinions.

The swarm of tremors, over 130 of them, had magnitudes of 0.5 or less. The tremors have been increasing since March, but, they were so small and about 1 to 4 miles deep, no one could feel those small quakes even if they were standing directly on the surface directly above them.

I don’t know what made me think of this, but I wanted to share some experiences we’ve had with the various dogs we’ve adopted over the years.

It’s a new normal all the way around, but especially for the dog, who is having to learn a whole new set of rules, what’s acceptable and what’s not, and is most likely very scared and nervous and longing to get it “right.”

In visiting with the two newest members of the BOCC after they first took office, they both described the initial learning process and assimilation of information as “drinking from a fire hose.” Bob has attended many, many of the county meetings and researched the issues involved with being a commissioner. Not only is he prepared to go to work, he is an honest, God-fearing man who has defended property owners and tax payer rights for the last four years. Bob would like to see a more honest and transparent process at all levels in county government. He has not been and will not be a paid puppet for someone else’s agenda.

Once-strong El Nino causing more extremes

Weather or Not

Since early this year, we’ve been hearing about El Nino, the warmer than normal sea-surface temperature pattern in the south-central Pacific Ocean. The latest data now shows that El Nino is weakening at a rapid rate. In fact, we’re beginning to see regions of cooler than normal readings from along the Equatorial regions and the West Coast of South America. This is one of the big indicators that El Nino is falling apart.

Imagine walking these areas with impaired vision having to rely on a guide dog to step safely, hearing barking, growling and sensing one or more unleashed dogs running toward you. Imagine the fear you would have not knowing whether or not these dogs would be attacking you or your highly trained, valuable guide dog. Imagine the frustration you would experience when the inconsiderate owner yells at you to leave the area that you have a right to be.

Retiring from the U.S. Army after 20 years in 1983, I served four combat tours in Vietnam, starting out as an infantry private in the bloody Ia Drang Valley battles of 1965. In three subsequent tours I served in various leadership positions in the infantry as well as in Special Forces operations. In the course of those tours I was wounded three times. So I guess one could say I was there from the beginning of U.S. troop involvement in Vietnam.

As a parent of two children in the Coeur d’Alene School District and an educator in the district tasked with supporting teachers, I recognize the role of education in supporting a bright and positive future for Coeur d’Alene. I want the best for my children, their friends, and for our community. This legislative session, I urge constituents to look past rhetoric from candidates who claim they are education supporters and seek true advocates of education on the ballot. Kathy Sims claims that she supports education, but has voted “NO” on numerous education bills, including the teacher career ladder (HB 571) and children’s reading programs (HB 647). We need an advocate for our children in the legislature. We need Paul Amador to represent all people of Coeur d’Alene — he is a strong supporter of a diverse educational system, has worked with and listened to educators, and is truly focused on improving the lives of citizens in Kootenai County. Paul is also fiscally responsible and will ensure that all funds are allocated appropriately to do the most good for our community.

I am writing to express my support for Paul Amador for Idaho House Representative District 4B who is challenging Representative Kathy Sims in the upcoming Republican primary on May 17. As a mother of two small children who are entering elementary school the future of education in our state is a priority to me and my family. Paul Amador is a strong advocate for investing in public education and I believe he will bring new and innovative ideas to the education discussion. I also respect that he believes that a strong education system will aid in boosting the economy in the state of Idaho by preparing smart and well trained citizens. If you value a quality public education in the state of Idaho, please join me in voting for Paul Amador on May 17.

BINGHAM: Defender of rights

It is easy for me to vote for Bob Bingham because I know he will make an excellent commissioner. How do I know, because he has been engaged in county government as an active citizen for nearly four years. Bob was one of the leaders in the fight to defend our property rights against the Unified Land Use Code (ULUC), he succeeded in getting impact fees rescinded and refunded and has brought a measure of transparency to the budgeting process. Basically, he’s already doing the job.

AMADOR: Time for change

As a longtime Coeur d’Alene resident, local businessman and family man, I care deeply about education and the long term economic and social vitality of our community. I have had serious concerns in recent years about the direction and voting record of many of our state legislators. Many of our legislators have made a habit out of voting against many important pieces of legislation that had the potential to benefit Coeur d’Alene. Examples include voting against the mental health crisis center, which has helped to divert individuals in crisis away from our local emergency rooms and jails and provides an important resource to our community and voting against enforcing our child support system, which would have made Idaho a safe-haven for so called “dead-beat” parents. Fortunately we have an honest alternative this election cycle, Paul Amador is an excellent candidate for House Seat! 4B. Amador is very well educated and a true Coeur d’Alene conservative, who will represent us well in Boise. Paul is focused on earning the endorsement of our community rather than the Washington, D.C., establishment. If you care about our community and are tired of political insiders constantly seeking reelection, please make sure to vote for Paul Amador on May 17th. Visit http://www.amadorforidaho.com/ for more information and background on Paul.

He is a well-respected jurist who is known for following the law in his decisions, rather than any ideology. For these reasons, he was rated the highest candidate by Idaho judges and lawyers for judicial temperament and demeanor, as well as for integrity and independence.

Costly fire season left some serious marks

Area snow-pack stood at 22 percent of normal in April, and warm temperatures arrived early, prompting a warning from the U.S. Forest Service that the 2015 fire season was going to be extraordinary.

Most of us are brought up to not discuss religion or politics, and mostly for good reason. These topics are historically considered impolite — except around those whom we feel most comfortable.

So at the risk of double-offending: I submit the Republican Political Party, currently courting the resolutely religious, has negatively affected our 2016 presidential race by failing to provide us a quality candidate.

What happens when you snore?

The first thing that happens is that your bed partner, if you still have one, is irritated all the time due to sleep loss — usually one to two hours each night. The noise level can reach 80-100 decibels, which is the same noise a chainsaw makes. And, of course, this has health effects for both partners.

VOTE: For these candidates

After attending numerous candidate debates and forums, I believe the choices for Legislative District 4 are clear. After the debate between Rep. Sims and challenger Mr. Amador, Mr. Amador favored “Urban Renewal.” This made up my mind. Rep Sims must be re-elected. As we all know, our Urban Renewal board must listen to the voters. As for the other legislative seat between Rep. Malek and Mr. Macomber, we all know that Rep. Malek has done many good things for our state. Just ask any fireman! Mr. Macomber keeps saying that we should get the federal money out of Idaho and replace it with growth. Mr. Macomber is an ideologue and will hit a brick wall in Boise. I do believe experience counts and Rep. Malek should be re-elected.

CDA: A city with heart

As I sit on my front porch looking at the beautiful sky over Coeur d’Alene I find it imperative to share some recent thoughts. In the last few years I have been unfortunately witnessing a lot of friends and family members go through some type of struggle, loss of a family member, accident, and health issues to name a few and I have been overwhelmed and humbled by the amount of people in our wonderful community who have helped those seeking some type of assistance. Just this past weekend I was able to help (along with some other family members) to hold a benefit to raise money for a wonderful cause to help out my sister’s mother-in-law. I was skeptical at first as to how well this would go; needless to say I was blown away. We wanted to stay local and promote the great businesses in this area. To say we were supported would be an understatement. We had so many wonderful people and businesses donate to help for medical expenses as the woman in question had a brain tumor. It truly was a great experience to be a part of, seeing how everything comes together and seeing the reaction of a woman who is obviously loved by many.

Kids eating food

“If I have to eat the whole thing I’ll barf,” I bark at my mother. “Just three bites and you can be excused,” mom prods. I shake my head in disgust, sitting at the dining room table with my sister and brother staring at two fried oysters on my plate. “At Girl Scout camp, we always have to try three bites,” offers my sister emphatically, sporting a sinister grin as she slurps the buttered spaghetti noodles she receives because she is a “picky eater.” My brother, the adventurous one, forks both oysters, closes his eyes, plugs his nose with his free hand, inserts both bivalves into his mouth at once, chews twice and swallows. He looks at me in my struggle, smiles a toothy, oyster-filled grin and asks loudly enough for mom to hear, “May I be excused?” As he speaks, oyster particles shoot out of his mouth onto my plate making a once gross meal inedible.
