ANTHEM: It's about respect
After serving this great nation for many years in the military, I agree fools have the right to not stand tall with their hand over their heart when the National Anthem is played before the start of sports functions. At the same time, it makes my heart ache because WE are all Americans and ALL of us should be standing tall and proud to be an American. The reason given for so many to kneel or refuse to come to the field before the Anthem is played is demeaning to all of us, not just those of us who wore the uniform of this nation. I feel we have now become a nation of the “me, me, me” generation, instead of being proud Americans.

THREE LITTLE WORDS: We all know that in real estate the three most important words are “location, location, location.” Guess what the three most important words are in consumerism — “contract, contract, contract.” As an example, this week, more than half of the calls I got would have been unnecessary IF the consumer had insisted on having a WRITTEN contract with the merchant providing the goods or service in question. Emails, telephone conversations, or text messages are all forms of communication, but they are NOT contracts. Verbal contracts are not very enforceable and often degenerate into a “he said, she said” kind of argument that doesn’t prove anything. Estimates and bids are not contracts. Contracts are clear about who is providing a good or service to whom, under what conditions, when, where and for how much money. Contracts are signed and dated by both parties. Even a poorly written contract is better than no contract. If the money involved is such a small amount that if you lost it, it wouldn’t damage you, then perhaps a contract wouldn’t be necessary. Otherwise — insist on a contract.

Mystery and backstories
Over the years of holding our monthly wine dinners and tastings, one of the things we have discovered is that our customers specifically – and wine consumers in general – love to hear the backstory. Whether it is winery history or winemaking anecdotes, we all like to know what happens behind the scenes. There has been much in the wine press over recent years, and in fact we have even written about all of the hand wringing about demystifying wine, and making it a more “democratic” product. We have come down on the side and remain on the side of this being so much “bunk.”

Are you suffering from depression or anxiety?
What is wrong with our mental health today? I find it distressing to see how many people are on psychotropic drugs, and how easily they are placed on them. Why? “Why” is my favorite word. If the person is not coping, why? If they have anxiety, why? If they are obsessive/compulsive or bi-polar, why? If they are depressed, why? The brain doesn’t normally operate in a contra-survival way, so if it is, why?

PRESS: Liberalism abounds
Having recently fled the unbridled madness of California, I’m astonished at the degree to which the CDA Press is infected by liberalism (most recently and shamelessly exhibited in the front-page, above-the-fold top story entitled “Progressive Uprising,” Sep. 23, 2017). As a proverb says, “Only the fool MUST learn through experience.” It appears that, sadly, even Idaho is plagued by suicidally xenophilic fools who won’t rest until, as the ultimate form of virtue-signaling, their own destruction is secured. Pitiful. Just pitiful.
TRUMP: A hypocrite's rant
It’s ironic that Donald Trump would demand that NFL owners fire and/or suspend players who kneel during the national anthem. “NFL fans should refuse to go to games until players stop disrespecting our flag and country.” “Coaches should get the son of a b.... players off the field if they continue to kneel.”
COUNTY: Voters have spoken
I read the CdA Press editorial by Mike Patrick on Friday, Sept. 22, 2017, with incredulity that during his defense of the county manager position and Dan Green he would feel it necessary to undermine my credibility by labeling me as the minority fringe. Mr. Patrick knows me very well and is quite aware of the fact that I was staff assistant for Idaho Sen. James McClure for 24 years and delegate to the Republican National Convention over 10 times. He knows that I am well versed in politics at the county, state, and national level. For him to impugn my reputation in an editorial entitled “...Please Don’t Attack,” I find ironic.
TRUMP: Boycott will matter
I agree with President Trump that we should boycott NFL games where players choose to disrespect our nation’s flag during the national anthem. The owners should not tolerate this. Fire them! If we stop attending their games, and the revenue continues to decline, they might get the message. Same for Major League Baseball, our U.S. Olympic team, high school sports, Little League, etc.

LIMITS: Term them out
Regarding Chuck Malloy’s guest opinion on term limits, I wholeheartedly agree. I would like to see an article 5 convention of states to force a constitutional amendment imposing term limits on ALL federal House and Senate members IF it could be limited to that issue ONLY. Part of this would also be no federal retirement. They get Social Security and whatever they put into a 401k like the rest of us.
CDA: It's ward time
According to the last article I read in the Press, the only ones running for the city offices (council members) are the incumbents! Are you aware of this?

ANNIVERSARIES
Do sellers expect too much?
Along with the weather, the real estate market appears to be cooling a bit. After a brisk spring and summer market, sellers set and achieved high expectations from their properties. It may be time to re-evaluate those expectations if your property has been on the market a while. Before the market crash we used to anticipate a 4-6 percent average annual appreciation. Given the high prices paid by may in 2007 that expectation is unrealistic even in today’s market. Although a majority of the buyers from that time have recovered they may not be able to sell at a profit even today.
ACA: Why the rush?
The renewed effort to “repeal and replace” the current health care system shows again how politics “trumps” the national good. The option of simply repealing the ACA ended in 2012. In the last election, more people voted Clinton than for Trump, so there is no mandate from the people, just political power which is a far different animal.

CAMERON: No clue about South
Yes, Steve, it IS about southern heritage and also about U.S. History. We don’t get a redo on what happened in the past except to hopefully learn from it and make sure not to repeat the same mistakes again. Tearing down statues that have been in place for over 100 years in the South destroys a part of our history as a country regardless of how deplorable most of us view the Civil War and how it almost tore our young country apart. If the statues offend you, don’t look at them but don’t deny the history they represent.
FLU: Nothing to sneeze at
Flu season is quickly approaching in North Idaho. The term “flu” is commonly used to describe the common cold, but Influenza virus can be severe and leave you suffering with fever, headaches, respiratory issues and fatigue for days — or even weeks. Children and elderly adults can be especially vulnerable to complications caused by flu. In fact, the flu is linked to hundreds of hospitalizations and 20 or so deaths in Idaho, each year.
FRIENDS: Keep us afloat
I just wanted to take a moment and point out the good in some people. On July 3rd my wife and I found ourselves broke down on our boat on Lake Coeur d’Alene. A nice group of youths agreed to tow us to the nearest boat launch.
MANAGER: Still wrong idea
I read very carefully former County Commissioner Dan Green’s articles in the Press defending his previously rejected idea for a county manager position. His assertion that the manager would be more responsive to the voting public is absolutely untrue. To remove a county manager whom the citizenry disagrees with would most likely require the replacement of three of the proposed five-part time county commissioners, which would take years to accomplish if at all.

However, a serious concern is that we are moving away from this balance toward a government of the majority and away from a government of laws as was the original intent of the Framers.

Mother Nature leaves a pile of bills
This extreme weather for 2017 is going to be the costliest in history. The two huge hurricanes, Harvey and Irma, could have a price tag of nearly $300 billion. That's about 25 percent of all the combined natural disasters in the United States from 1980 until 2017. And this doesn’t include the major wildfires in the West plus all the droughts and floods across the country for this year.

(See Amendments 14 and 15.) If citizenship is negated by each, then they should return to their country of origin so U.S. citizens do not have to support their lifestyle. Why would each not want to become a citizen, especially since they do not want to be deported?

Areas in the central U.S. were also seeing the effects of the wildfires from Canada and the West as the upper-level winds were directing the bad air over that part of the country last week.

We explained that, unlike some other states, home inspections in Idaho are elective and conducted at the request and expense of the buyer. Other states require the inspection to be done by the seller and reported to the buyer.

CAROUSEL: Sorry about that
Here I am to offer a heartfelt apology to the community of those who privately brought the carousel back to life. I agreed too quickly with the previous letter and from my own shallow viewpoint. I could pander to your hearts to understand my reasoning. Someone would and should hand me a violin (I play the cello).
CRITICISM: 'Nuff said
OK! Enough!
LABRADOR: Andrus he ain't
It was interesting to read those politically correct “tributes” to Cecil Andrus from our governor, senators, etc.
LEFT: Self-inflicted wounds
PBS recently televised the results of a study it performed to document confrontations between various marching groups and how violence escalates. They chose Portland, where liberal voters outnumber conservatives by a very high margin.
Advanced Custom Cabinets is moving
High-end cabinetry and architectural millwork for commercial projects and custom homes are the specialties of Advanced Custom Cabinets, which is moving from 9896 Chelsea Court in Hayden to 250 W. Anton in Coeur d’Alene.
TAXES: Spend less - period
I don’t think any of the Republicans in precinct 48 will support an increase on their property tax. As their elected spokesman on the County Republican Central Committee, I can say without equivocation that not one of these elected Republican office holders would have been elected if they told us they would raise taxes.

Machining makes the world go round
Your car. Your phone. The spare change in your pocket. They have one thing in common: A machinist helped to make all of them.
SUICIDE: Its a heavy burden
During the first seven months of 2017, Kootenai County lost 22 people to suicide. I know this because as a member of North Idaho’s Suicide Prevention Action Network (commonly known as SPAN), I receive monthly data from the County Coroner’s office.
Making a first impression last
There are many things in life that you can do multiple times. Making a first impression on someone isn’t one of them.
Do you want to do something important?
I won’t beat around the bush. Have you thought about volunteering but aren’t sure what you want to do? The Volunteer Ombudsman Program needs caring and concerned volunteers, both men and women, to advocate for residents living in long-term care. How about you?
RIFFRAFF: Who are you referring to?
I read about how tough it will be for Northwest Village, a gated community, to sustain the influx of “Riffraff” to their area if a bus stop were placed at their street corner. I wonder if that term includes the man mowing their lawn while the husband goes to play golf, or the cleaning lady in their house while the wife plays bridge with her neighbors? Maybe the riffraff is the family who comes to attend church with the member of this community.
Where did our summer go?
Where did our summer go, indeed? It certainly flew by as it started late and quickly turned hot. We had a record number of 90+ days. Something I hope is not repeated. With a little luck we’ll enjoy a nice long warm fall.
Any way you count it, Idaho economy soaring
There is a formula to figure out almost anything.

OSPREY: A bird's-eye view
We’ve been watching the Coeur d’Alene osprey camera for some time. Mom and occasionally Dad sat on the nest for weeks and in early June we had three tiny chicks! The parents were non-stop feeding them 24/7 and they grew and grew.
FAIR: A standing ovation
My wife and I had a booth at the fair. She dropped one of our glass products, and it shattered. She received two very nasty cuts on her leg as a result. The first aid people responded very quickly, stopping the flow of blood and bandaging her leg so we could go to the emergency room at Kootenai Health and get seven stitches in her leg. Not only were the fair staff attentive, but several vendors were very helpful.

RACISM: Here's the cure
This country needs to take a deep breath and calm down for five seconds. Watching national news over the last year, there’s no shortage of self-proclaimed experts rushing to a microphone or keyboard to tell us what another person is thinking or intends; usually without even knowing their target. We’re all being categorized and labeled by race, job, religion, location, sex, etc. I’m never surprised at how quickly those who claim to hate stereotyping immediately stereotype those they disagree with.

If Pete Carroll had any guts, he would tell Bennett that every time he sits out the anthem, he can count on keeping his ass planted on the bench for the entire game. Of course we all know that will never happen.
