Finding something to love about the season
I love snow. I don’t even mind the cold. I love the quiet hush that falls over the town when it’s blanketed in white. I love to see how Mother Nature coats the trees and shrubs — and even my patio wind chimes and backyard swing — in a frosty covering. I love to see children sledding, and people of all ages with noses and cheeks flushed pink with the cold. I love how “Merry Christmas” sounds even more festive when spoken as snowflakes fall. I love the sound of snow scrunching underfoot on my way to the mailbox. I love how the snow brightens even the darkest nights and how Christmas lights seem to sparkle even more on a snowy winter night. I love the sound of wood crackling in the fireplace and how the sight of the flames and the warmth of their glow makes me feel comforted. I love flannel pajamas and big fluffy slippers and hot chocolate in a mug. I love the smell of Christmas trees and the sound of sleigh bells hanging on the front door. I love Christmas music from every generation and fully intend to have myself a merry little Christmas.

Continue “best practices” and check your credit card statements carefully for odd-looking charges. If you find an odd charge, say from a nick backshop in Nairobi, call the card company and “put it in contest.”

Sadly, it is often times the males in positions of authority and power who manipulate the adoring female into a compromising situation — too many names to name of late.

Idaho tax burden well below national average
The annual Tax Burden Study, which the Idaho State Tax Commission has prepared each year since the 1970s, shows that Idaho’s total state and local tax burden per person ranks 48th among the 50 states plus the District of Columbia, and falls 29.6 percent below the U.S. average. It’s the lowest among 11 Western states.

Transit: Don't shut them out in the cold
For about 25 years, I have represented local citizens and constituents in various local elected positions with Kootenai County, the city of Coeur d’Alene and the Coeur d’Alene School District. Over those years, I’ve been a part of the design, building, remodeling and maintenance of many public facilities. The whole point of public facilities boils down to them being tools to serve the needs of our community members, on behalf of all of us. Some years ago, we built a new administration building for the county. Currently, we are deep into a major remodeling project for the Coeur d’Alene City Hall. One of the major reasons for the city hall remodel is to make the building more user-friendly for the public, including new ADA-compliant restrooms.

Regarding the article “Sex is sex” on the front page of your Sunday, Nov. 19 paper, two men appear to have been omitted from the lineup of men accused of sexual misconduct — Donald Trump (at least 16 accusers) and Roy Moore (at least nine accusers). Does the omission of these two men mean because they are Republicans, their sexual conduct against women and children excuses their behavior? Basically an accusation, is an accusation, is an accusation. Politics should have no bearing on the story.

TAX: Here's one to keep
The current Republican tax proposals call for the elimination of the Estate Tax. This federal tax (referred by its defenders as “The Death Tax”) taxes individuals on their estate at the time of their death. At the present, this tax, currently at 40 percent, excludes the first $5 million for individuals, $10 million for couples. So it only affects the richest 0.1 percent of the population.

Don't cut corners
As competitive as the real estate market has been — lower inventory and higher prices — some buyers are prone to cut corners to keep from losing a long-sought home. One trend seen nationally is skipping the inspection to avoid losing the house. Not only is this unwise it could be dreadfully expensive. True, a conventional loan does not require a home inspection. FHA or USDA loans include an inspection with the appraisal, but often these inspections are not as thorough as a specifically trained home inspector might conduct.

DIABETES: Haillie's bright light
I want to thank The Press for its excellent coverage of Diabetes Awareness Month and Halo’s One Hope. I became acquainted with Haillie and Lyndsey Neufeld a few years ago. Haillie had recently been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 8 — the same age I was when I went into a diabetic coma 52 years ago. The doctor warned my parents that I probably wouldn’t live past my 20s. In 1965, there was no home blood testing, insulin pumps or awareness that it took more than one shot a day to keep blood sugars under control. From the occasional A1C lab tests that were done, it was apparent my blood sugars were dangerously high most of the time. Even so, there were a few times when I barely made it home from school and would collapse at the front door from hypoglycemia.

Benjamin Franklin was once asked what kind of government we will have. “A Republic, ma’am, if you can keep it,” he replied. I am very concerned after last Tuesday’s election with only 8.45 percent turnout that maybe ol’ Benjamin was onto something. The Founders chose a Constitutional Republic as the best means for America to self-govern, but can we with such low turnout?

AMENDED NOTICE OF HEARING ON NAME CHANGE FOR MINOR CHILD Case No. CV 17-6928 IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE FIRST JUDICIAL DISTRICT OF THE STATE OF IDAHO, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF KOOTENAI In re: for a change of name of: JESSE TIMOTHY MANCUSO, A minor child under the age of eighteen, By the Petitioner, Teresa J. Kulac. Date: December 18, 2017 Time: 1:30 p.m. Judge: Mayli Walsh A Petition to change the name of JESSE TIMOTHY MANCUSO, a minor, now residing in the City of Post Falls, State of Idaho, has been filed in the District Court in Kootenai County, Idaho.

The reason for the change in name is that the minor child prefers to be referred to as "JESS"rather than "JESSE" and the mother wishes to have her last name added to the minor child's name as she is the custodial parent and would like her son to have her last name as well as his father's last name. A hearing on the Petition is scheduled before the Honorable Mayli Walsh, on the 18th day of December, 2017, at the hour of 1:30 p.m., at the Kootenai County Courthouse or as soon thereafter as counsel can be heard.

Show real thanks for their service
When I was getting ready in August of 1969 to return home from my tour of duty in Vietnam, I bought some civilian clothes in Saigon.

When I mustered out at the Oakland Army Base, I tossed my fatigues and boots into a trash can, put on my civvies, and caught a plane to Twin Falls. Although I don’t recall anyone being hostile because of my Vietnam service, many returning vets did experience hostility. Things have changed.

Esprit de corps an inspiring sight
“In the last days of November 1950, twelve-thousand men of the First Marine Division, along with a few thousand Army soldiers, found themselves trapped high in the mountains of North Korea, near a reservoir called Chosin. Their leaders had been caught off guard by the sudden entrance of the People’s Republic of China into the five-month old Korean War. The Americans were surrounded, outnumbered, and at risk of annihilation. The two-week battle that followed is among the most momentous in U.S. history. It helped set the course of American foreign policy in the Cold War and beyond. And it remains one of the most renowned in Marine Corps annals.” — PBS

Peace, joy and murder?
Many a holiday pageant has gone awry.
D.C.: Oh, what a mess
For the life of me, I cannot understand the miscommunication going on in the White House. Schuller, McCain and Graham have no clue what’s going on with our troops in Africa. Why don’t they know? They are working for us on the intelligence committee for the armed services and they didn’t know that we have more than 1,000 troops in Niger, Africa? It must be a sickness that is going around capitol hill that started with the Trumpster. Now we have all these folks who are on our payroll, with no clue as to what is going on.
TRASH: It can be golden
I wholeheartedly agree with Jim Hollingsworth. After spending four years of evenings and weekends building my house in Laguna Canyon (Orange County) in 1971, my wife and I moved in. At that time we did not subscribe to a trash service so I would load up my utility trailer with trash and occasionally drop it off at the county’s landfill on the way to work.
Witness: Renfro has behavioral disorder
COEUR d’ALENE — Jonathan D. Renfro suffers from a behavioral disorder that makes him aggressive, reckless and unconcerned for the safety of others, and which is unrelated to previous head trauma, upbringing or substance abuse, a psychiatrist told jurors Thursday in First District Court.

Heartfelt thanks for all you have done, for having him on your staff and I sincerely hope he is appreciated by you.

BUZZ: Acronym challenge accepted
No, I did not read Anne Helen Petersen’s BuzzFeed article giving her view of local Republican Party problems. It seemed to be enough for me to read The Press’ not-very-objective Sunday editorial on the subject. Hopefully, Ms. Petersen had more to offer than criticism of other people’s ideas and another cute acronym. But I found myself unable to ignore the apparent acronymic challenge. Could any of the following properly be applied to those steadfast pro-establishment types:
BUZZ: Act, don't complain

Before your fireplace sparks to life, do this
If you’ve ever had a chimney flu fire you probably have your chimney inspected once a year BEFORE fireplace season. Flu fires are one of the most terrifying fire events a homeowner can experience. Chimney fires account for more than 26,000 fires per year in the U.S. Be sure to contact an inspector who is certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA). Ask to see their certification, and for a copy of their liability insurance policy. Let’s have a warm holiday season — but not too warm.
Time for the church to refuse to be intimidated
In response to My Turn “Church and state: Leave politics outside the church” by Shirley Thagard, I suggest the following. Ms. Thagard is not familiar with the Constitution. The Constitution clearly prohibits the formation of a state religion. It does not prohibit the church from having a political opinion or exercising that opinion. This whole church or state nonsense as I may recall has to do with an internal revenue ruling that was enacted in the last 50 years or so withholding the tax-exempt status of a church if it expresses a political opinion. Frankly that ruling as I recall came about in a democratic administration as a means of bridling a church hostile to their more liberal views. (Does this sound a bit like the hold up on tax-exempt status of conservative organizations by the IRS under Obama to anyone?) It has been promoted as a constitutional issue for so long that many believe it to be stated in the constitution. This is nonsense!
