CHURCH: Message is true
I’m sorry that Annika Holmes was disturbed by Pastor Paul’s message at Candlelight Christian Fellowship on Oct 23. This message did not reflect his usual Bible teaching. But trust that his message is vital in this election cycle. It needs to be delivered by other Christian ministers to their congregations and is based on the words of Jesus.
Michael Ward: Creative lessons, learning opportunities for students
IN PERSON
Michael Ward has been on the board of directors of the Excel Foundation for more than 10 years and doesn’t see himself leaving anytime soon.
TAX HIKES: Hard on seniors
As a retired old coot, I have the opportunity to ponder things. Some of those things are how our seniors on fixed incomes are supposed to keep up with property taxes that keep on rising. They are endlessly hit by the city, county and schools with property taxes. Folks that have worked hard, paid off mortgages and eventually retired are told that it’s only “x” amount of dollars per assessment and that it’s just a little here and there.
CHURCH: This one's dynamic
As a member of Candlelight Church, I would like to personally thank Annika Holmes’ review of her visit to my church. No doubt many people looking for a dynamic Bible church will read your review and choose to attend Candlelight as a result. Most Christians are tired of feel-good, milquetoast sermons which leave them without clear application to the daily issues we all face.
RIGGED: Winners take all
I have a suggestion for all you coaches and managers out there. Next time you play in an important or championship game, tell the officials that you will only accept the results if you win. But, if you make bad plays and stupid mistakes and lose, then refuse to accept the loss. You can claim it’s because the game was “RIGGED.” You could also blame the media for favoring the other team. If all else fails, then threaten them with a lawsuit.

Educated agents try harder
When looking to invest your hard earned dollars in real estate you want expert representation from your agent. For most people a real estate investment is the largest of a lifetime so getting it right is critical. Some transactions are more complicated than others and often even seasoned agents need guidance or advice. Admitting that they need advice is tantamount to being educated and responsible and is a good sign you have a caring agent.

Meshing IT with health care
While doctors and nurses may be the public face of the health care industry, many people also work behind the scenes to keep hospitals and care facilities running smoothly — such as health care computer technicians, who install, manage and troubleshoot IT systems in medical and clinical settings.

Students can earn either a certificate or an associate’s degree in the program.

Rita, along with our mayor and many volunteers, have spent many hours bringing this project to life. Come spring, we will all have a chance to enjoy the fruits of their labor.

Anyone that thinks differently (duh it’s America dude) is a bigot and how dare we accept the Republican Party (he supports the criminal Clinton and the Democrats who supported slavery)!
HJR 5: Vote 'no' again
There is a proposed Constitutional Amendment on the November ballot, but folks can vote already (Vote Early!) so it should be discussed. Voters may remember it, since it is almost identical to one rejected two years ago. But our Legislature seems to think it knows best, so we voted to put this before the voters again. (I was the only NO vote in the Senate.) There will be some lobbyists this time who will also try to convince you to change your judgment and support it. Don’t listen.

There is no way in hell the American people can be sure the 2016 presidential election is not rigged. When 16 key states use Smartmatic Voting Machines, Smartmatic Software, and Internet to tally votes for the 2016 election. These machines and software are owned by a company in the United Kingdom run by CEO Baron Mark Mailock-Brown that is affiliated with George Soros. Not only is the opportunity to cheat the count with software but also by an internet hacker. There is no way to prove the vote was rigged because there is no hard copy of the original vote. Also this raises the question of foreign influence on national elections, which is illegal. They only get away with this because they incorporated in Delaware April 11, 2000, which is the easiest state in the union to incorporate.

As Jim pointed out, Tom is well respected in judicial and legal circles for his professionalism as a mental health provider. His work has benefited children not only by treatment of abuse victims, but also in providing courts and probation officers with valuable information on sex offenders and other defendants to make their sentencing decisions more effective.

Dale Elvin Hunt, 79, of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, passed away peacefully at the Hayden Hospice House on Oct. 20, 2016, after enduring many years of pain and illness from his worn out, broken body. He will be missed by those who loved him and especially his wife and caregiver of 55 years, Patty. Dale was born to Ervin and Bertha Hunt in Eureka, Calif., on June 5, 1937. During his childhood he lived in Garberville, Calif., where some of his fondest childhood memories were spent there on his grandparent’s farm.

AMADOR: Honesty and values
We had never campaigned, or wanted to, for a political candidate until we met Paul Amador. He is definitely worth the effort. He is amazingly intelligent, down to earth with just the right touch of humor. Best of all he has a firm grasp of the needs of Idaho based on his own research rather than someone else’s political persuasiveness. We admire him for his willingness to work for those needs and immerse himself into the community well-being.

PRESIDENT: Vote for McMullin
This presidential election is a mess. We have two candidates who would rather denigrate each other than talk about the issues, and we have an American populace who is seemingly stuck having to “vote against” a candidate rather than “voting for” their preferred option, because most of them don’t prefer either option.
Bob Dylan doesn't deserve Nobel Prize
It has been a decade since I wrote several articles about Bob Dylan plagiarizing the work of a Civil War poet, Henry Timrod. In those essays, I provided examples of his borrowing verse without attribution. One of my points was that I did not take issue if anyone borrowed (even exact renditions) from others, as long as credit was given to the originator.
DRIVERS: Deer vs. jackasses
On my way into Coeur d’Alene one recent morning I saw another dead deer on the edge of West Riverview Drive, aka “the shortcut” and “let’s see how fast we can go on this narrow winding road.” As I passed her, I wondered how many does this makes this year — more than the last few years by far. Maybe if the insurance companies would treat hitting a deer as an act of God instead of an accident and deny coverage, more people would slow down and be more aware of their surroundings — just a thought.

Obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, stroke, arthritis, infertility, gallbladder and liver diseases, respiratory disorders, sleep apnea, insomnia, hyperactivity, fatigue, gout, hypoglycemia, depression, digestive difficulties and other diseases are known to be caused by, or contributed to by sugar. Immune disruption and auto-immune diseases are deepening issues complicated or caused by sugar consumption.
Big wineries versus small wineries
Which is better big or small? The answer when it comes to production sizes of wineries like most things in life is complicated. The most accurate response is it depends. And the most important determining factor in the answer is your own palate. All of you have read it enough times to know what makes a wine good or not good is how you as the wine consumer feels about it when you taste it. The discussion though is a valid one to have.
INSURANCE: Travel is risky
I agree with Dennis Spencer that the health insurance program has become a debacle. Three years ago the BC Gold plan for a 30-year-old (earning just over the amount allowed for subsidy) was $269. Under the new KCN (Kootenai Network) plan, the premium is $412. Because my 30-year-old works construction throughout the Pacific Northwest, he will consistently be out of Network ($50,000 deductible). It will be cheaper to pay the federal penalty and apply the $412 monthly premium to doctor and hospital payments.

Having a licensed nurse on staff saved my mom's life!
Independent and assisted living communities exist to promote a safe and vibrant environment for residents. Having a nurse on staff can save lives. Licensed nurses are trained professionals that know first-hand the importance of resident care and can assure the timely identification of acute clinical problems. Licensed nurses can optimally monitor, assess and intervene when physical and behavioral changes occur and quickly streamline medical emergencies. Although most states require that all assisted living communities provide sufficient staffing to meet resident’s “scheduled and unscheduled” needs on a 24-hour basis, this does not guarantee that licensed nurses are always on hand. On-site nurses may only be on duty during the day or “on-call.” In fact, the level of care a community offers is directly related to the number of licensed nursing hours they provide. This can make a medical emergency a life or death situation.
Play ball, America!
‘This field, this game: it’s a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again.’
ELECTION: It's about 'us'
We live in an “It’s all about me culture!” Unfortunately, too many voters view the upcoming presidential election in the context of “It’s all about me” and which party or candidate will give me the most freebies, or which candidate do I like or dislike the most. Too bad our self-absorbed culture can’t see beyond the candidates and look at what effect the next president will have on our nation.
Add a little spice to your life!
If meal planning starts to feel a little dull, try adding a little spice to your life! Not only will it spice up your dishes with flavor, but some herbs and spices will work simultaneously to spice up your health. Incorporating a variety of herbs and spices into your food may help reduce salt intake, can reduce risk for chronic diseases, and help regulate blood sugar.

Fight on, Mr. Labrador, for what’s right, and NO more spending.

Reading Mr. Koch’s letter last Sunday I’m going to take a wild guess and say that he is a Hillary supporter. You want The Press to endorse Hillary just like most newspapers in large populated areas have done. I hope they don’t and can stay neutral. You know that a majority of the media whatever it may be is in the bag for the Democrats and Hillary. The media has been backing Democrats for years, it’s nothing new and I think more people are waking up to the fact this election cycle. WikiLeaks is coming out with some very damaging emails exposing how corrupt the Democratic Party really is. The media is beating to death the leaked tape of Donald Trump and Billy Bush and barely saying anything about the Hillary emails.

MILAN: A new direction
If you have not yet decided on your vote for the District 4 Senate seat, I hope you will consider Kristi Milan.

Walking the neighborhoods of our district, she is listening to concerns and values important to individuals. Kristi is committed to keeping our public lands public, properly funding quality public schools, and closing the health care gap. Kristi is tireless, and she will not forget you in Boise. Have the decisions of the past two years reflected the kinds of improvements we need in this state? If not, then voting for Kristi could help right the ship.

Tom has devoted his personal and professional life to service to others. He is fiscally conservative and is reluctant to impose his religious and family values on others through the force of law. Most important, he understands that when working together for the public, no single agenda or viewpoint dominates every decision.

HJR 5: Question of balance
One of the Founding Fathers’ most precious tenets — separation of powers — will soon be tested in Idaho. On the Nov. 8 ballot is HJR 5, a second bite at an apple we rejected in 2014. The ballot question is written simply and convincingly, making “yes” sound intuitive. Why shouldn’t the Legislature “review any administrative rule to ensure it is consistent with the legislative intent of the statute that the rule was written” for? How logical that sounds.

TRUMP: Count the reasons

TRUMP: Media is unfair
The current state of our news media is sickening. The lead story is ALWAYS an attack on Trump followed by a brief mention of the latest Clinton scandal. The latest Wikileaks release revealed collusion between the Clinton campaign and the news media that is corrupt beyond belief. I doubt that is what the founding fathers had in mind when freedom of the press was guaranteed in the Bill Of Rights. I submit NOTHING Donald Trump has ever said in his life had the potential to damage our national security but Clinton setting up a private email server in her basement while Secretary of State DID.
Food banks and primary care - a natural partnership

Self-reflection and your health
Last week a couple of my amazing patients came into my office, on different days, but with the same thoughts, how do we stay well and vibrant as we are aging? Do we just accept and give in to "old age" or do we fight it, which is right? What does it look like to age well? How should you feel about it or does it matter? Why does it seem so daunting of a task? Honestly, I thought a lot about it all week, as I have my parents and my father-in-law that I am observing as they make the trek into the next part of their life.

The cost of eating 'bad' food
As I write today, I am saddened. My sweet dog is in the veterinarian hospital, struggling for life. At 6 years old, it is not expected. She ate a mushroom or something moldy and has mycotoxicosis, and her tremors and seizures are so bad that they don’t expect her to live. Why do animals eat things that are bad for them? Why do we humans eat things that are bad for us? Especially things we KNOW are bad for us? Like sugar.

TRUMP: The word is 'assault'
Whether by grown men in a private conversation on a bus, by a professor in a class on women’s studies, by a pre-teen on a playground, or by comic with an off-color joke, the words Donald Trump used in 2005 would describe sexual assault. The context of the situation and the intent of the descriptions matter in whether you feel they are reasonably or excusably used. But Trump’s words still describe him perpetrating sexual assault, real or fictitious. Despite his experience with fame and the obvious preparation for an interview, what he undoubtedly thought was a private conversation was overheard and is thus subject to people’s interpretations. But his own words still describe him perpetrating sexual assault.

MILAN: Inspirational
I write to you in support of my friend and colleague Kristi Milan. I have worked with Kristi for many years in different capacities and she has always shown the same integrity and grace wherever our missions have led us. While kayaking around Lake Coeur d’Alene in search of turtles or other wildlife, biking through the dark tunnels in Montana and Idaho, or representing Idaho teachers in national conventions, Kristi Milan presented her true self. A woman with empathy, compassion and self-worth who loves her family, loves her state and loves her friends. I can always count on her when the going gets tough, with patience, a sense of humor and relentless spirit. We have fought for the rights of teachers, of students and our beautiful Idaho lands together. She has inspired me to follow my dreams, she has held my hand when things got scary, we laughed when things got crazy and we got dirty when things needed to be cleaned up. A vote for Kristi Milan will ensure the rights of Idaho hunters, Idaho families and Idaho workers. She will work for the state of Idaho to keep the economy strong, the roads and schools safe and the waters and forests clean. Join me in supporting Kristi Milan for State Senator in District 4.

McLAIN: An ideal commissioner
Russell McLain’s name is on the ballot as an Independent running for County Commissioner. Russell communicates well! He is an informed candidate because he asks hard questions and tries to formulate answers about county issues. He is concerned about increasing our job market, bringing in new businesses, keeping county staff through adequate benefits and wages, and updating county policies which cause red tape and hinder county efficiency. In contrast to other opinions, Russell advocates public safety and neighborhood peace through continued use of building permits and inspections. Russell will work well with other commissioners and will work for YOU. To continue excellence in county administration, vote for Russell McLain.

Psychologically, a headache will steal your life. It will make you be a different person. You never get to be your real self! You really want to live free with no limits. Clinically though, a headache is pain in one’s head, face, or neck. Many times, a patient will think the pain is in their brain, but the brain itself cannot sense pain. In fact, brain surgery is many times done with the patient awake.
MEDIA: Treat candidates equally
I am totally fed up with our news media — ABC, CBS and NBC! There is no integrity! They bring up whatever they want to on Donald Trump and harp on it for days and let Hillary slide!
TRUMP: Still my guy
I would like to know Mike Crapo and Raul Labrador, Paul Ryan and all the politicians can judge Mr. Trump when I would bet they have sin in their lives that they don’t want the public to know about. The Bible in Mat 7 judge not lest you be judged. It also says that he who is without sin to cast the first stone and I’ll bet they aren’t throwing rocks. I keep forgetting that they are part of the good old establishment that try to make us think that they care about us when they are only trying to fill their own pockets just like the Clintons.
Foggy thinking in the brain
Are you finding that your brain just doesn’t seem as clear as it used to be? Poor memory, difficulty concentrating, inability to recall words, just feeling foggy? There are many things that can contribute to “foggy thinking” (as I’ll refer to all of the above collectively), and there are several things you can do to combat it. Some authorities say that foggy thinking precedes dementia, something we all want to prevent. So what are the contributing factors?
Breast cancer recovery and the gift of community
What makes America great is the people in our community. There is power in the people when they are dedicated to making the lives of other people, better. So on Saturday night at the Best Western Inn, the Casting for Recovery, North Idaho and Eastern Washington chapter, lead by Renee Bylthe, held an amazing celebration to honor the ladies in our community that are breast cancer warriors and they raised money to insure their recovery is complete through the art of fly-fishing.

KUNISHIGE: Integrity at work
Mr. John Green, as a lawyer, Catholic and former candidate for Kootenai County Sheriff, you should not tell untruths and disparaging statements about Tina Kunishige, candidate for Kootenai County Sheriff. It is oblivious that you are trying to make sure Tina Kunishige does not become our new Kootenai County Sheriff. Why? I believe you and the good ole boy system are afraid she will win and upset the apple cart. Tina Kunishige will lead with honesty and integrity. Kootenai County voters, do your homework before voting. Look at Tina Kunishige’s Facebook page “Tina Kunishige for Kootenai County Sheriff.” Thank You.

Crazy election questions answered
Is gluten-free a great idea just for the health of it?
The term “gluten-free” seems to be everywhere these days: at the grocery store, on restaurant menus, and plastered on your favorite social media site. Perhaps you even know one or two people who have eliminated gluten from their diet. What is it about gluten that makes some people want to avoid it, and actually, what is gluten anyway?
HAGADONE: Testimonial times 22

He sets examples on how to do business right and that’s why he’s been so successful these many years. Honesty and dependability: Can’t go wrong.

Making deadline, a dad worth missing
Oct. 12, 2004, was a Tuesday, a beautiful bonus summer-like blue sky sunshiny autumn day. It was a day I will never forget — not the sunshine or the sounds or the words that came out of a doctor’s mouth as I stood alone in the “quiet room” at Kootenai Medical Center waiting for my mother to arrive. “We tried to resuscitate him but he was already gone.”
SPEEDING: School zone bozos
Does anyone realize what the speed limits are in school zones? Well, on this last Friday morning around 7:30, a driver apparently couldn’t care less. As I pulled out of my real estate office heading east, the flashing yellow lights on Highway 53 were on and in full display, but this pickup driver with Washington plates drove right up behind me at a rather high rate of speed, much more than the 25 mph posted speed limit. Someone would have to be blind not to see these bright yellow lights flashing!

PRESS: Leaning wrong way
In this primarily conservative area, one would think it would support a more conservative newspaper, but instead it has a liberal paper. The Coeur d’Alene Press has continually printed negative articles or subtly negative articles about Donald Trump, while nothing negative can be found for Hillary’s irresponsible and criminal behavior. The Coeur d’Alene Press then hires a publisher from liberal California. The area needs a newspaper which reflects the political and social leanings of its citizens, not one trying to indoctrinate and change readers to the goals of globalists.

HEARN: Here for long haul
I have lived in Coeur d’Alene for four years. Is four years enough time to represent the voters of District 4? Is four years enough time to understand the consequences of decisions made by the state Legislature? Is four years enough time to understand and appreciate the shared values of family, responsibility, fairness and independence that is so representative of Idaho?

Idaho's Constitution doesn't need HJR 5
Vote NO! on HJR 5. Two years ago, Idahoans rejected HJR 2. Idaho voters properly rejected the Legislature’s attempt to permanently invade Executive discretion and prohibit Judicial oversight of the relationship between the Executive and Legislative branches of government within rulemaking. This year, voters are being presented with virtually an identical constitutional amendment, HJR 5. I hope you will join me in agreeing that this amendment should once again be rejected. HJR 5 ignores the will of the people as expressed just two years ago. More importantly, HJR 5 threatens to permanently invade the Executive and Judicial Branches of Idaho’s government, disrupting the balance and separation of powers contemplated by Idaho’s founders. HJR 5 also permanently encourages lobbyists to influence Idaho’s policymakers at virtually every level of state government.

HEARN: Experience here counts
Rumors have been circulating that Paul Amador, candidate for Legislative Seat 4A, only recently registered as a Republican. It was therefore not surprising when Amador acknowledged that until recently he was registered as an Independent. He also moved to Idaho recently and has never held elective office. How well can a newcomer to Idaho and the Republican Party represent Coeur d’Alene in the Legislature? How independent can he be to represent our interests when he is just learning about Idaho? When he tries to demonstrate he is a good Republican to skeptical party leaders at home and in Boise?

It is disgusting that you import an article in the world/nation section of your paper and do not fact check the stories before printing them in your paper. On page three of The Press of Oct. 4, an unknown writer wrote “Trump Suggests vets with PTSD are weak.” After the last quote by Donald Trump which ended with “And they are horror stories. They see events that you couldn’t see in a movie, nobody would believe it.” What the writer did not write was the continuation of the answer to the Marine Staff Sargent’s question, if Mr. Trump would get spiritual help and other help for these veterans. Mr. Trump said, “Yes I would. He continued, “No, we need a mental health help and medical. It is one of the things that is least addressed and it is one of the things that I hear most about when I go and talk to the veterans, so we are going to have a robust, very robust level of performance having to do with mental health. We are losing so many great people that can be taken care of if they have proper care.” After Mr. Trump said a few words about the suicides and mental health, the veterans and retired military people there were pleased with what he said. He received applause from the audience. The entire speech is on YouTube under Latinos Support Trump, Full Speech: Donald Trump Speaks to Veterans in Herndon, Va.

Babies' birth months mirror Main Street
In a decidedly unscientific exercise, I noticed that most of the Main Street birthdays, out of nearly 2,000, seem to be in September or October. So I did a little Google research and found that my list of local birthdays mirrors somewhat the actual birth stats in America. Of the 4 million babies born here annually, the top two birth months are August and September with July and October rounding out the top four. Most of us think that springtime is the time babies are born in masse but we’re wrong.
Fog of the brain
Have you ever watched the fog roll off a lake? It isn't clear one moment and thick the next. It comes in slowly, in little wisps. At first, vision is slightly hazy, but you can see for long distances. It gradually flows over you, just a little thicker, a little heavier, a little cooler, until you realize you can't see very far at all. "Brain Fog" isn't a lot different. Rarely is your brain — your memory, your ability to recall words, the sharpness of thought — there one day and gone the next. It starts in little wisps, becoming murkier, gradually disappearing, until the time comes that it becomes so problematic that you seek help to resolve it.

TRUMP: Enough Hitler references
Yet another letter detailing the rise of Hitler, starting with the youth, a “veiled” inference to Donald Trump’s popularity and electability. If I remember correctly, a year ago, people were clamoring for an end to Washington politics and the status quo and looking for someone “from outside politics” to step up and bring some different solutions to what’s been taking place for so long. I noticed how, almost to a “man,” the Washington elected elite sounded the alarm against Trump. Upset the apple cart? He certainly has.
AMADOR: Trust his decisions
Working 40 years as a Rehabilitation Specialist in North Idaho and serving on the Heritage Health, Union Gospel Mission, and Tesh Boards, I realize more and more families in Idaho are struggling with medical costs. Paul Amador, Republican candidate for the Idaho legislature, is the one candidate I trust to make the best decisions to address our medical care issues in Idaho. I have known Dr. Amador for many years and he is both compassionate and rational in his decision making process. He understands that although we have a strong moral obligation to support those who are in need in our community, we must also focus on providing the most effective and fiscally responsible solutions to these issues. I know that he is supportive of solutions like the recently opened mental health crisis center because it serves a very important need in our community and reduces the impact on our law enforcement and emergency medical fac! ilities, which ultimately saves taxpayer money. I encourage you to vote for our future on November 8. Vote for Republican Paul Amador for Idaho House Seat 4B. He is the best choice to represent us on healthcare issues.
MURRAY: Ideal NIC trustee
While many voters are perplexed over the choices in the ucoming presidential election, the choice is clear-cut in a race closer to home: the North Idaho College Trustee election. Brad Murray’s background and experience eminently qualify him to take a seat on the North Idaho College Board of Trustees.

Yes, it is possible to enjoy nice big iris blooms in the fall. Pictured is one of my “twice blooming” iris varieties called Immortality.

Then these irises can have their buds frozen.
