BLESSINGS: Carters and Kennedy

In the September issue of Time magazine was an article about former President Jimmy Carter and his wife that amazed me! At the age of 93 and his wife at 91, they work building and remodeling houses. They don’t sit in comfortable chairs and watch TV like I do at 82; they get up and go to work! They both are an example of what America is made of and what we should be doing as Americans. God bless them.

SOUZA: Return to Senate

I would encourage voters in November 2018 to vote for Mary Souza (R) for Idaho State Senate District 4. She received an A rating from the NRA. Her opponent, Cory Jane English (D), a progressive liberal, received an F grade from the National Rifle Association. The choice is clear. Don’t let progressive liberal Democrats destroy Idaho like they have California and other states.

SCHROEDER: For state House

Rebecca Schroeder is running for the Idaho state Legislature in district four. Rebecca’s son Brady was born 11 years ago with Cystic Fibrosis. After having doors closed to her at the state and national levels, she became a spokesperson for CF research. She understands firsthand the lack of access to health care and how it can impact any family. She has worked diligently to get the Medicaid Expansion initiative on the November ballot. She has reached out to those in the community, relentlessly knocking on doors. I hope that you will both vote for her this fall and join in her campaign at rebeccaforidaho.com.

COMICS: BCN rules!

I have been a subscriber to The Press for 10 years since we moved here and am an avid follower of certain comics. I regretted when you eliminated the comic with the policeman and the south African connection several years ago (I forget the name). It was sensitive, multiracial and sweet.

My family has lived in Coeur d’Alene since 1936. Unlike many other communities across the country, this community has shown little interest in preserving the buildings of the past. Other towns and cities have used their past and their old buildings to help stimulate their local economy and emphasize their uniqueness. Do we risk becoming a generic town with shining new tin sheds and boxy brick buildings? Such disregard for these ties to our past do have permanent harm to the unity and cohesion of the community. Many of us can remember some of those buildings that were torn down, their unique architecture and how their existence today might fit our present day needs. What is progress?

Hip pain: Solutions for relief

Hip pain is common in all ages and it can begin for a variety of reasons. Below are three of the most common conditions that contribute to hip pain. For many adults, arthritis can cause aching pain as the joint begins to wear down over time. It affects women at a higher rate than men. Hip joint arthritis doesn’t only cause pain in the hip, but causes pain into the thigh and groin area. This often leads to swelling or stiffness in the hip and upper leg, resulting in a loss of range of motion. Another common cause of hip pain is tendinitis, which usually occurs from overuse of muscles in the hip. This typically happens in younger athletic individuals who participate in running, lifting, kicking sports or dance.

TAX PLAN: Burden for the young

For decades the Republican Party has touted the need for fiscal restraint and a balanced budget. In reality, even with a Republican majority in Congress, their new tax plan has added $820 billion to our nation’s debt in a period of only 11 months. One percent of our population controls 52% of our nation’s wealth; that number is certainly not going to decrease. The President and Congress will point to the economy and the low unemployment rate; however, when you spend a trillion dollars more than you receive in revenue, in one year, the economy should be rosy. Congress should have listened to Warren Buffet’s advice.

His view of 95% of us would fall under the category of “Deplorables.” How else would you justify charging working families double the normal property tax because they didn’t sign a one-page form?

TRAFFIC: Job well done

Kudos to the Coeur d’Alene Press and Staff Writer Ralph Bartholdt for the timely article (Sept. 16) on the growing traffic problems in Coeur d’Alene. Citizen concerns about traffic have come to a head and actions are underway.

TURNOUT: First, be informed

The Coeur d’Alene Press editorial of Sept. 12 laments past voter turnout and urges folks to go to the polls in the upcoming election. While I agree that more of our electorate should get involved, I question the wisdom of just getting out to vote if the voters have not taken the time to study the issues and candidates.

Menopause: Faces on fire

“Wow, my face is on fire!” Menopause or perimenopause — hot flashes, sweats, moodiness, rapid heart beat and alternating hot and cold feelings — are no fun. If it was just feeling hot, that would be one thing. We all get too hot at various times of our lives. But hot flashes are different. Many times they are also associated with feeling sick or flu-like just before the onset. It is generally localized and intense in the face, chest or even legs, and it’s difficult to cool down.

Right now, a fleet of slimy, smooth-skinned, relentless predators are emerging from the depths of the earth to feed. All of them have spent the summer months fast asleep, waiting for the summer heat and dryness to dissipate so they may rule the earth … or at least the spray zones, seeps, rocks and vegetation alongside our local streams, rivers and lakes.

As public concern mounts over growing traffic problems in Coeur d’Alene, it’s nice to see the city of Coeur d’Alene and ignitecda hosting a Traffic Open House (today, 5-7 p.m. at the North Idaho College Student Union Building). Although the current traffic study is limited to impacts from the proposed large-scale development of the two old millsites on the Spokane River, it’s a good step toward dealing with the very real problem of our growing traffic issues.

The right wine club for you

Regardless of where you are in your wine consuming journey a wine club can offer many benefits. The biggest question for most consumers is how to pick the right wine club. In fact, the importance and impact of this question can’t be understated and takes on a very personal aspect. Wine clubs come in many “shapes and sizes.” Many differ based on their strategy, and there are big differences between winery wine clubs and those run by retailers. Here are some of the points to consider and pitfalls to avoid when choosing your wine club.

WHY am I sick?

If a tree in your yard or a flower in your garden suddenly died or was sick, would you just chop it down or pluck it out and throw it away, or would you take it somewhere (such as the University of Idaho Extension Office Master Gardener Clinic) to find out WHY it is sick or dying and try to rescue it? If your car stopped running or was making some horrible sound, would you just take it to a junkyard and dispose of it, or would you take it to a mechanic for a diagnostic workup? Would you be happy if they just duct-taped it together and said you’re good to go? If not, why do that to your body? The number one question you should always be asking is “WHY?”

COUNTY: Get creative

Every time I see the topic of the county moving over to the fairgrounds to “consolidate operations,” I can spit nails. The next time the urge comes over them, I suggest the commissioners take a look at the numerous feasibility studies conducted over that time to see that it simply is not feasible to do so. The fairgrounds cannot be replicated without an enormous price tag. Plain and simple. So drop it already!

Decompression therapy vs. traction for neck, low back pain

You may be wondering what the difference is between spinal traction and spinal decompression. The main difference is the advanced technology behind spinal decompression, which has shown to lead to better results. With traction, there is only a static pull on the spine. For example, if traction is set at 50 pounds, then it pulls at 50 pounds. Regular traction systems used by many practitioners only pull on the spine at a pre-set rate and force. This results in a stretch of the spine, joints and soft tissue. After a few minutes of traction your body says, “Hey, I’m being stretched,” and it creates a reflex in the surrounding muscles, resulting in tightening or spasms.

Want to improve your flexibility? Learn how…

As adults, we tend to lose a lot of our natural flexibility as the years pass by. Although it’s annoying, it’s a natural part of the aging process. We get a little stiff, notice a little pain and it becomes a little more difficult to move from time to time. In order to help reduce the frequency of these symptoms, it is important to maintain flexibility. Below are tips for maintaining or increasing your range of motion as you age and protecting your quality of life for years to come.

Brain fog - brain smog

Brain fog is an increasing concern for many people. Definitions for brain fog vary a bit, but for the most part it includes the following: mental cloudiness, feeling like a veil is over the brain, forgetfulness, being easily distracted or difficulty concentrating, mild confusion, sometimes you have to stop for your brain to “engage,” easily overwhelmed, getting lost easily, forgetting where you put things, difficulty following directions or following a line of thought, temporary disorientation, etc. It is common with certain illnesses, such as “fibro-fog” associated with fibromyalgia. It is also associated with several classes of medications, with insomnia or sleep deprivation for any reason, with autoimmune diseases and much more. The gist of it is that your brain feels like it is cloudy. This is different from dementia, which several of the above symptoms can also be associated with.

So let’s get you moving and add some mind body health to our lives.

Simple, do any where, relaxation techniques

Winter is often long and challenging here in the great northwest but everyone keeps their sanity by heading outside for lots of winter activities. I love it, there is no better life. Along with the fun of all of that, however;is the fact that we often over schedule ourselves and we end up needing simple ways to take care of ourselves.

Pain: Body-self neuromatrix

What happens in our body to elicit pain when we slip on the ice, take a fall while skiing or get diagnosed with a chronic disease like fibromyalgia? Pain is described as a physical discomfort or some type of suffering caused by illness or injury. We may have always thought of pain as purely subjective, meaning each of us might describe the pain differently, from a fall down the stairs or a crash on our sled. Some might describe the pain as a stiffness with a dull or achy feeling. Others might say it is sharp, shooting or incapacitating in nature.

Christmas relaxation

Relaxation is a necessary part of life in order to be well. It heals the soul, boots creativity and helps you get down to business with what needs to be taken care of in your life. What is so interesting is that I’m not talking about watching TV or cruising on Pinterest as a way of relaxing. I’m talking about true “unwinding” where you tune out the world and tune into your bodies needs. In Eastern medicine this is called meditation but most of us in the Western world are too inpatient to do this type of relaxation. In fact, we fight it because we see it as not very productive. What do you have to show for yourself when you are done?

Lake City makes strides in loss to Lewis and Clark

COEUR d’ALENE — Zane Lettau had touchdown runs of 2- and 4-yards for the Lake City Timberwolves in a 31-14 nonleague loss to the Lewis and Clark Tigers on Friday night at Lake City High.

Pelvic Health: Body balance after baby

A new baby, there is nothing better! Snuggling them, loving them and nurturing them becomes your new life. Suddenly the aches and pains of pregnancy and delivery are forgotten. But don’t kid yourself this is no little feat that your body just went through to make this precious new addition. Your body goes through an amazing transformation to make your baby and if you are nursing them, you will still have hormones in your body after the birth of the baby. No wonder your body seems a little bit different or odd in its behavior. No wonder you have stiff shoulders, a cranky back or hips that pop around when you move. Maybe your bladder is a little leaky with laughing, sneezing or coughing. Maybe you have pain with intercourse or are completely disinterested in sex at all. Maybe you are constantly constipated after baby and you are wondering why because you never were before. Well we know what it’s like and you are not alone.

Tough opener for Vandals in Fresno

Idaho’s first game since 1995 as an FCS school, naturally, is against an team from the FBS — the division the Vandals just left.

CDA PD getting $1M increase

COEUR d’ALENE — Newly minted Coeur d’Alene police officers can reach the department’s top pay scale after five years on the force. They will also receive a 2.5 percent annual cost of living increase in addition to a 1 percent general pay increase this year.

Get balanced

Do you ever feel out of balance? Do you ever wonder why so much pain and suffering happens to those we love and care for and ourselves? The body self craves balance. It will go to great lengths to signal us when it is out of balance. We will show up with migraine headaches, back pain, knee and shoulder aches and often the inability to get a good night sleep. There may be numbness and tingling in your arm or even swelling in your legs. These physical symptoms are real and it is a warning that the system lacks homeostasis. The body self is saying to you in a very loud voice, “Something needs to change, soon.” I don’t mean for you to quit your job or your commitments to your life, but you may need a serious overhaul and rethinking of your value system and your body self.

What is your inspiration?

I have had the amazing opportunity to be a medical facilitator volunteer with an incredible national organization called “Casting for Recovery.” This organization takes 14 Breast cancer survivors, from our geographical region of northern Idaho and eastern Washington, on a 3 day experiential fly fishing trip to facilitate healing of not only the body, but the mind. Participants apply online, and are randomly selected to attend. Each year it is held in a different area. Last year we were at the Flying B Ranch in Kamiah, and this year we will be on Lake Coeur d’Alene.

Still a work in progress

POST FALLS — The first few drives of Friday’s nonleague game were exactly how Post Falls wants to play its offense.

Oncology and physical therapy care

The role of rehabilitation and specifically, physical therapy rehabilitation, during cancer care is often not understood. The patient has so much they are facing each day, that the last thing they want to do is go to one more appointment. However, physical therapy, occupational therapy or speech therapy are life changing when it comes to preventing long-term physical impairments and overall well-being during oncology care.

Healthy New Year

I love this time of the year! I like the idea of closing the door to the last year and choosing to walk in the open door of the New Year. To me, there is nothing better than a chance to make “new healthy lifestyle choices,” because what else do you and I have but our health?

Happy, happy, happy!

So Pharrell Williams sings about it, and how can you not sing along with him and his catchy tune, but are you really happy? What is happiness and how do we get it?

Virginia (Filkins) Stanton, 94

I didn't know

Five times. How can that be? Just today I heard it 5 times and I wonder how many days before that I have I heard the same thing. “I Didn’t Know.” For me it would be good to never hear that again from any of my patients.

Getting by with some friendly help

It’s always good to get a little help from your friends sometimes.

Kale's turn

COEUR d’ALENE — Last year as a junior, Kale Edwards watched as Colson Yankoff did some pretty amazing things as quarterback of the Coeur d’Alene Vikings.

Ask yourself, are you tough enough?

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I wonder if I am tough enough? This time of year especially I think I get awfully contemplative about what it takes to be tough enough to tackle the new year. Tough enough to do what it takes to live my life according to my values. Tough enough to challenge myself to do the best with my God given abilities. Tough enough to weather the storms of life with my heart intact and dancing in my feet.

Oral Cancer Awareness: There's no crying in baseball

Cancer continues to touch so many lives of the people I know and love. Oral cancer in particular has touched my families life for the past 14 years, so I wanted to share some things to increase awareness, as early detection and prevention is the key. Of course that doesn’t mean the outcomes are always successful, but oral cancer needs to be talked about and understood.

Cancer warriors unite

Sometimes you are fortunate in life to meet people that come into your life in the most unexpected way. This person I met was at the Race for the Cure for Breast Cancer, a few years ago and I consider myself lucky to know him. His lovely sister-in-law and wife introduced us. This person has the innate ability to lift you up every time you think of them and especially when you see them. So this past week we had lunch, and as always my heart was full of strength and determination to care for our cancer patients in our community, so they are not isolated and afraid as they become a warrior.

Healthy kingdom: 6 habits

Oh, so you wish for a healthy, kingdom? I know the feeling, with children, parents and responsibilities that line the castle wall, sometimes I think the king and queen will never find time to make healthy choices. How will they choose wisely when they are trying to storm the castle, slay the dragons and look lovely for the kingdom?

Sharing a miracle

Through his humanitarian efforts in Guatemala over the years, Michael Oswald has seen miracles. Medical missions organized by Oswald have helped people in dire conditions restore their sight, regain their hearing and drastically improve their quality of life.

Today's ghastly groaner

What do you call a three-footed aardvark?

T'was the night before

When I was little I loved the magic of the poem “The Night Before Christmas.” My parents had a well-worn book that had beautiful illustrated pictures and they would read it to me each Christmas season. As soon as I could read it myself I would slowly read each page and get lost in my imagination. I would pretend that St. Nicholas was coming to my house in Maryland, landing on our roof with his reindeers and sneaking in my living room to deliver the “goods.” I would wait up as long as I could to try to get a peek of him. I wanted to know him. I wanted to watch him make his delivery. I wanted to see if he was really “jolly.” I wanted to believe. I wanted to believe in something bigger and better than anything I’d ever known.

Fill the Boot to fight muscular dystrophy

SPIRIT LAKE — It’s time to Fill the Boot to support the Muscular Dystrophy Association in the fight against muscle-debilitating diseases. Firefighters from Spirit Lake Fire Protection L4336 will collect funds on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Miller’s Harvest Foods and at the intersection of Main Street and Hwy. 41.

Muscle strategies

All of us have them, even our elite athletes. A muscle strategy is a way of eliciting a group of muscles to accomplish a task or athletic endeavor in order to do the activity in the most efficient, cost effective way for our body. However that being said, it doesn’t mean it’s being done in the best way for your body. Just because you have golfed, water skied, and biked for 10 years doesn’t mean you are doing it right. Know wonder sometimes your knees hurt, you back aches and your neck is stiff after the activity. These muscle strategies you have had with you for years may not be really as efficient as you thought.

Night lane closures to begin on I-90

Next week, travelers can expect nighttime lane closures on Interstate 90 near the Huetter rest area west of Coeur d’Alene, reports the Idaho Transportation Department.

After baby body

All I can remember is that feeling that came over me each time I looked into my brand new babies little faces. You can’t put it into words very well, but I felt my heart melt and my world change and I was suddenly fixated on my sweet little one and I forgot about anything that I might need for my own health. New Moms have so many hormones that are circulating in their bodies and they are often so overwhelmed with their babies needs that they forget about what their post-pregnancy body needs.

Healing: It's OK to grieve

Sometimes unusual things happen in life at such odd moments, it’s just hard to explain. I was standing in the “greet and thank-you” line with my Mom and my siblings at my Father’s funeral service in Maryland this past week, when up walked a lovely woman and her young daughter.

Fight, flight or rest and digest?

We are all athletes, even if we don’t know it. We are faced with competition, training and recovery needs for our body daily. Our body seeks to live in a state of equilibrium that allows us to work at an optimal level. We must be able to adapt to the physiological, psychological and environmental stressors that we are presented with in order to be healthy athletes.
