On Monday morning during the Memorial Day remembrance at Evergreen Cemetery in Post Falls there were a dozen or more softly fluttering about. While words and the names of departed veterans were spoken aloud, the butterflies flew. While songs were sung and wreaths placed in honor of those who gave the last full measure of devotion on the battle field, butterflies flew. While the bugler played Taps, butterflies flew.

Dear people of the great state of Idaho,

SCHOOLS: Be more like airlines

Why does the department of homeland security protect social security offices but not our schools? The SSA wasn’t up to the task of dealing with denied disability applicants that showed up armed and angry and neither are our schools able to deal with boohoo boy tantrums.

Do you feel a poll coming on?

VOTERS: Democracy about to be lost

There are those who’ll continue to rationalize and explain it away, but the fact remains: In the year 2000, our politicized U.S. Supreme Court, with utter contempt for the voters and the Constitution, rolled out the carpet for George W. Bush. Ten years later, the Court conjured up Citizens United, a decision so harmful to our democracy and so hated that it would be repealed tomorrow if it were up to the people. Shortly after the Citizens United decision, the Shelby County v. Holder decision lifted constraints from 15 states that had flagrantly practiced voter suppression during the Jim Crow era. Welcome back, Jim Crow.

Hustle and grow ... in sports and business

When Pat Riley was coaching the New York Knicks in the early 1990s, he wanted to motivate his team. The team kept the usual stats on scoring, assists, rebounds and the like, but one year Riley decided to begin measuring hustle — how many rebounds players went for even if they didn’t succeed; how many times a player would make an extra effort to snatch a loose ball; how often someone would make a steal attempt. Riley posted his “Hustle Stats” in the Knicks’ locker room after every game, without any additional comment on his part. Riley’s players took notice and soon became a top-level team.

But it is biased toward the truth as opposed to the distortions and outright lies spewing from the so called major media.

It is very troubling to me that I can no longer believe anything coming from “mainstream” media. If I listened only to NBC, CNN or New York Times, I would be very uninformed about what is actually going on.

According to district documents, associated costs for the 7.2 acres of land would hike the sales tag to $1.79 million thanks to $150,000 in sewer cap fees, $60,400 in on-site sewer, $50,000 in annexation costs, $46,800 in demolition costs, up to $350,000 for a traffic light, and other expenses.

Had the VA billed me on a current basis, there would not be any issue, but the delayed billing makes it extremely difficult to come up with almost $400 in 18 days, just because the VA can’t maintain their charges on a current basis.

A hands-on rudder, wing, and fuselage experience

HAYDEN — Latitude Aviation owners Jeff and Anny Fouche brought science, fun, and flight together Monday by hosting 120 of their daughter Kyndall’s closest friends for a field trip. The Ramsey Magnet School of Science first-graders had been studying weather and air, said teacher Kathy Jones. As part of their unit, the Ramsey students had done Google expeditions aboard aircraft carriers and flight lines using virtual reality goggles, said teacher Clarissa Jackson. However, as teacher Sumer Comfort said, the field trip to see and feel real airplanes added something to the curriculum that the magnet school couldn’t offer on its own. “We offer them hands-on in the classroom, but this makes it real to them,” she said.

Critters of North Idaho: The great gray owl

You’re a small rodent, perhaps a mouse or a vole. This past winter there was a several-inch-thick layer of snow covering the ground. Usually, you’d be forced to either come out at night or hide in the underbrush to avoid being spotted by hungry predators. But by burrowing a network of tunnels under the snow, you were able to run around and find food and shelter just out of sight. You thought you were pretty safe, but all of a sudden, your snow tunnel collapsed around you and you were grasped by sharp talons before being hoisted high into the air.

As a resident of the Great State of Idaho, an Avista Utilities user and Idaho taxpayer and U.S. Service Veteran from the Korean War period, serving in the U.S. Navy, I would like to voice my grave concern with the Avista sale to Canada’s HydroOne. Along with many other Idaho residents, we are opposed to this sale of our private utilities to a foreign government and believe that a sale to any foreign government should be opposed by our government. We lose total control once this happens and what if Canada’s HydroOne decides to re-sell to another foreign government sometime down the line? Then, where do we as utility users stand?

ADLER: Wrong about police at Starbucks

Dr. Adler states in his May 2 OP/Ed that “Police officers, it must be noted, were in an untenable position because they were not aware of Starbucks’ policy. Still, they accepted the word of the manager rather than the representations of the two young black men.” Dr. Adler is wrong. The officers were advised by the manager, who had the right as the representative of Starbucks to ask people to vacate the premises, that she had asked the men to leave. They refused her request. The officers then asked the men to leave, as per the direction of the manager. They again refused. At that point, they were arrested. It had absolutely nothing to do with who the officers believed — it had everything to do with the men’s continued refusal to leave the premises. Had the men complied with either the request of the manager or the police to leave, none of us would have ever heard about the incident.

Judge Mitchell had the foresight to start a mental health court in 2004 which has proven to be a successful alternative to sending participants to prison. I have had the opportunity to hear from some of those who have successfully completed this program. It is heartwarming to hear these folks describe the difference this opportunity has made in their lives. Judge Mitchell holds these court sessions outside normal work-day hours which indicates his desire and passion for helping those who are in trouble improve their options in life. This being said, Judge Mitchell is also willing to hand out sentences that are appropriate for crimes committed.

Boys and girls like men and women, occasionally enjoy the option of camaraderie among their own kind without the social and biological pressure of constantly interacting with the opposite sex. That’s why there have been men’s and women’s clubs and organizations throughout all of history. The Gender Nazis need to leave children alone to make their own decisions.

FYI a private inspector is not independent of the person who pays them. Also the fact that developers can now build rental homes and duplexes without safety inspections. How will renters know if a home has been built without safety inspections? This action hurts ALL citizens in our county.

May birthdays, motorcycles and Kentucky Derby picks

May already? It comes as no surprise to longtime readers or people who know me that May is my favorite month. What’s not to love about turning the corner on a soggy spring, planting flowers and seeing those first buds and blossoms? Getting outside without a coat or sweater, the wonderful aroma of fresh-mowed lawns and the breeze in your face on a bike or with the convertible top down. Too early for biting bugs to be out but the birds are abundant and happy. And birthdays ... yes, birthdays. I love birthdays, even when they’re not mine — but May happens to be the month of my birth, and through the years, I’ve gathered an abundance of names of people who share this birth month.
