NOV. 6: Remember Mark Twain

Well, “they are here” like the poltergeist, POLITICIANS. It’s time to cast one of your most prized possessions, YOUR VOTE and they are after it. Many are asking for it, few have earned it and only some will be fortunate enough to secure it. I would like you to reflect on the words of the famous American humorist, Mark Twain before you cast it: “Politicians and diapers must be changed often, and for the same reason.” Now, get out there and VOTE. GOD BLESS AMERICA.

GOP: Common sense will prevail

The best Government money can buy! Does that ring a bell? Oh goodness sake, President Trump is not a politician; Drain the swamp, make American great again? Oh no, what about all the big money that the pimps have spent, Oh I’m sorry they are called Lobbyiests. Their job is to bribe our politicians, men and women and their staffs, to do their bidding. The Democratic party used to be the party for the working man. Now they are so far left we’re not sure whom they represent! Open borders, undo everything Trump has done and make America great again! Clintons, lies, lies, and more lies, selling materials to our enemies to make bobms to destroy us, lies about Bengazi etc etc. Soro and Obama Traitor you tell me. The list is a mile long! Open borders, illegal immigrants pushed ahead of the ones coming legally. Hidden all over the U.S., sanctuary cities. Giving Iran the OK to buy or build warheads to take out the US or Isreal giving millions of dollars. Releasing war criminals to kill more of our troops again etc etc.

AMADOR: A perfect fit for state rep

With election day right around the corner I write this letter to support Paul Amador’s campaign to be re-electede to Idaho House Seat 4B. First of all, Paul is a wonderful, bright young man with lots of common sense. He’s a perfect fit for Idaho and the challenges that face us. Secondly, I think his accents on Education, Economy and Family are spot on. We would do well and be well served to re-elect Paul on Nov. 6th.

GOOKIN: The right man for clerk

As an elected official, I have worked closely with the Kootenai County Clerk for 18 years. It is a complex job. I am voting Dan Gookin County Clerk.

ELECTION: Be sure to vote

Have you done your work and decided to vote for the people that have you and me in their thoughts instead of themselves? I pray that you have because this world is going down the toilet fast! Last year only 22,705 people turned out to vote and 76,980 are registered to vote! And more people people have moved into this area this year, so it’s probably 80,000 or so. Americans, do your job and take the time to vote, either in person, online or by mail, but VOTE! Too many people have given their lives to make sure we have that right, so don’t ignore it! Get out and Vote! Said in love, of course.

DUNCAN: For less regulations

My wife and I have had the privilege of knowing Leslie Duncan, Candidate for Commissioner District 3, for more than 14 years. Over those years, we know her to be a person you can count on and trust with responsibility. She is a listener, dependable and her main concern would be county affairs from one end of the county to the other.

MIRANDA: For commissioner

Regarding last week’s candidate debate, I was stunned by some of the misrepresentations in Leslie Duncan’s responses. I’d think after vying for a seat on the BOCC for nearly four years, Duncan would be better aware of how the county operates, and would be well informed about county code and policies, but she’s not. As a thoughtful individual, I’m very disappointed in her as a candidate.

PROP 2: Fairness needed

I have received several calls from people seeking advice on how to vote on Proposition 2. Some have read the arguments for and against the Medicaid expansion bill. Their confusion is the result of solid arguments on both sides of the proposition. Most agree there should be reasonable healthcare coverage for all Idahoans. However, they feel strongly that all Idahoans should be accountable in the handling of public funds.

AMADOR: For state House

During the past few years we have had the privilege of knowing Paul Amador as a neighbor, friend and as our State Representative. Paul has the character and the experience we need in Boise. Paul has the endorsement of the Idaho Education Association to be a very strong advocate for education. He has also been endorsed by the local school board chair.

ADDIS: For state House

Jim Addis has earned my vote. Jim was always honest and straightforward in our business dealings. When we worked together for many community events I was impressed with his commitment and passion for supporting local issues. We have had many discussions about local issues, especially educating our kids, and I found Jim willing to listen and respect everyone’s opinion.

BRANNON: For county clerk

I am writing to ask your readers to vote to re-elect Republican Jim Brannon for County Clerk. His opponent, Dan Gookin, is currently a CDA City Councilman, running as an Independent. Although Gookin knows better, he has intentionally incorrectly characterized the race as non-partisan. To the best of my knowledge, he has never managed anybody, let alone a complex organization.

Chiropractic can be a beneficial treatment for patients seeking non-invasive relief from this ailment that has become all too common in the modern world.

There is a reason why not one of the present Democratic legislators endorsed Paulette for governor in the Democratic Primary.

I have had the pleasure of working with Paul to meet the higher education needs of students in the five northern counties; his commitment to this community extends well beyond higher education. He has demonstrated his commitment to building a stronger Idaho not only economically and environmentally, but also to keep Idaho an outstanding place to live. My guess is he is planning for the future of his child, and potentially grandchildren.

BRANNON: For county clerk

County Clerk Jim Brannon manages his five departments in the best interest of citizens and employees. We often read how people’s personal information is hacked via large institutions and government entities. When Dena Darrow, Kootenai County’s finance director says security is a serious issue, Jim Brannon listens and finds solutions. Jim Brannon is responsible for carrying out policies and protecting the security of the financial system. He excels in his job. As county clerk, Jim Brannon is aware of the tax money paid to settle or fight lawsuits. Security breaches of employee information would be a whooper legal problem.

FUEL: Fossil is fine

One town in Oregon has committed to running everything on renewable energy by 2030. So how will airplanes fly on wind and solar? And how about boats? Right now wind and solar make up less than 5 percent of our electrical use. The rest is all fossil fuel, nuclear and hydro-electric. To even come close to meeting the needs of the country with wind and solar would require covering most of the country with solar panels and wind machines.

First vote in an election a family affair

When Sarah stepped into the voting booth at Frederick Post Elementary School with her ballot it was an especially memorable occasion. Her grandfather, my dad Ron Rankin, was on the ballot as an Independent candidate for Idaho governor. So the very first vote Sarah cast was for her Grandpa Rankin.

The diurnal temperature changes that make for perfect wine grape growing have become severe this fall, and this is the time when grape growers and winemakers alike would prefer these daytime to nighttime temperature swings to moderate a bit.

Brain and mental health benefits of low-level laser

Mental health is a growing concern and brain function disorders are on the rise. These include traumatic brain injuries (TBI), depression, anxiety, dementia and post-traumatic stress disorder. Among our college students we are seeing anxiety as a top concern in 41.6 percent, followed by depression (36.4 percent) and relationship problems (35.8 percent). Another concern on the rise is traumatic brain injuries and it is reported that mild concussions make up 75 percent of all brain injuries. It is estimated that 1.7 million people sustain a TBI each year in the U.S. Many of these individuals are young children and teenagers playing contact sports including soccer, basketball, lacrosse, hockey and football. Another group severely impacted are our military personnel deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan, who frequently experience mild to severe TBI’s while overseas. When they return home, they often struggle with depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. Many people struggling with TBI symptoms have poor blood flow and oxygenation to the brain tissue, increased inflammation and oxidative stress in the brain following head injuries. These factors contribute to further deterioration of the brain tissue and can lead to chronic symptoms.

There are walks, fun runs, and other local events which are a great way to build awareness and show moral support for patients and survivors.

TRUMP: Poisoning the people

Trump’s EPA has suggested a small amount of plutonium-induced lung cancer is good for you. Uranium-ingested stomach cancer in your kids is as healthy as ultraviolet sunshine-induced skin cancer. It is really healthy for the bottom line by reducing environmental costs of nuclear materials processors.

KAVANAUGH: Democrats' plan backfires

The Democrats are in self-destruct mode. Their lynch mob mentality was their undoing. Their rage against Judge Brett Kavanaugh was turned back upon themselves. They had the votes to deny him confirmation until they tried to destroy his reputation with unfounded, unconfirmed, slanderous accusations that backfired. They outraged the majority of the public and Congress. They demanded an FBI investigation, which was their undoing, as the FBI found no evidence at all to substantiate any of their claims.

TRUMP: Compare and contrast

What do Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have in common? They love socialism, hate President Trump and are gearing up to run for president in 2020. With every Trump success comes a deeper, more vocal hate for him (the Kavanagh hearings will attest to that) So, let’s look at Trump and Democrat differences. For starters:

DUNCAN: For county commissioner

It’s essential that we vote our values, so I’ll be voting for Leslie Duncan for Kootenai County Commissioner. Leslie understands that tax dollars come from the taxpayers and should be budgeted responsibly and county commissioners must avoid raising taxes whenever possible. She’ll make sure our land use laws are fair and protect the rights of property owners while following the U.S. and Idaho Constitutions. She’ll weigh the options, consider possible outcomes and develop the right position.

DEMOCRACY: Try this, America

Is our democracy working? Why are the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer? That must indicate that all economic classes are not represented effectively in the government. Or does it mean that we are not working together as a nation to assure that all are equally treated, have the same opportunities? Is the nation’s government in a rut which they cannot climb out of? Or can we still save ourselves? If so, how?

During indigent hearings, Jim and his staff consistently applied the law while having compassion for those in need of county services. The clerk’s office is tasked with safeguarding protected and sensitive information. Jim understands Idaho Code and has fought to maintain separation of powers and duties of the clerk’s office against extremists who would like to have access to this information.

PROP 2: An ACA encore

The Nov. 6 election is important, not only in terms of whom we elect to office, but also with regard to how we vote on the propositions before us. As you may recall, Obamacare, aka the [Un]Affordable Care Act (ACA), was written into law at the federal level by Democrats. No one was exempt from its onerous dictates, nor its ever-increasing expense. President Trump and the Republican Congress freed us from the mandate to pay for unaffordable health insurance with extremely high deductibles that don’t really cover us for anything, except in extraordinary circumstances. In other words, our insurance premiums were a tax to cover the cost of subsidized medical insurance for other people.

KAVANAUGH: One bright light

A momma's brain: The fourth trimester

So, I wish I knew what I know now about how a mother’s brain literally changes during pregnancy and afterward. We’ve known for years about all the physical changes, but it’s only been the last few years that research has uncovered powerful evidence of what occurs in a mothers brain. The level of cognitive changes is incredible and a lead researcher on pregnancy and the brain, Elseline Hoekzema, at Leiden University in the Netherlands states, “I’ve never seen anything like this in any of the data sets I’ve worked with. In a way, it’s no surprise given the extreme nature of the hormone floods that women are exposed to during this period, but still, I hadn’t expected such remarkably robust findings and this degree of differentiation,” when describing how much a women’s brain changes during this stage of her life.

FAITHFUL OBSERVATIONS: Jail ministry

The county has just expanded the jail to take care of the growth of inmates and this is an issue that affects families, taxes, resources and a concern about a revolving door of repeat offenders, along with a regular flood of new inmates.

Things to watch for…

I frequently search for wine on the internet. Not to buy of course, but to find pictures of the labels so we can include them in our weekly wine special, the “Friday Night Flights,” or for tasting notes from the producers to see if the winemaker got the same things from their wine as I did. I also search to find wine for our customers when they request we special order some of their favorites that we don’t have on our shelves. All of this and other reasons lead to a lot of internet searches.

CANS: The cleaner, the better

So Mr. Damiano doesn’t want Eco-Wash to touch his dirty trash cans with their equipment. The people at Eco-Wash saw a need in this community and are trying to fill it.

CANS: Lesson in leasing

The position of Coeur d’Alene Garbage regarding cleaning cans is ludicrous. I can lease a car and have it serviced or washed anywhere. Why not the same for a leased trash can?

Health detectives

What is a “Health Detective” and what does she do? When someone is sick there’s a reason for it. The body doesn’t just suddenly decide ‘Hey! I have nothing else to do today. Maybe I’ll make my immune system go haywire, or maybe I’ll just make the heart shut down, or just for kicks, I’m gonna give this person a migraine!’ It doesn’t happen that way. Although the easy fix is to take a drug to suppress the immune system, bring a damaged heart back to quasi functioning (with drugs), or stop the migraine with another drug, that isn’t identifying what went wrong.

Tyler just one example why Prop 2 should pass

On Nov. 6, Idahoans have the chance to cast a pivotal vote that will help our citizens in the Medicaid coverage gap, bring taxpayer money back to Idaho, and create jobs. This incredible opportunity is Proposition 2, the bipartisan ballot initiative to expand Medicaid in Idaho. Expanding Medicaid will help Idaho’s gap population — those 62,000 Idahoans who earn too much to qualify for Medicaid and too little to afford coverage through the state health insurance exchange.

Coeur d'Alene's first frost

It’s almost hard to believe that about six weeks ago we were talking about very hot weather in North Idaho and surrounding regions. For the summer of 2018, there were 24 days with high temperatures at or above 90 degrees. This includes two days with readings at or above 100 degrees. The hottest summer day was on Aug. 10 with a record 104 degrees.
