FAITHFUL OBSERVATIONS: Passover and Easter
The Jewish calendar year begins in late September or early October with the celebration of Rosh Hashana. Unlike our calendar, which is based on the solar year, the Jewish calendar uses 12 lunar months of 29 to 30 days in length. Every two or three years the Jewish calendar requires the adjustment of a leap year. During a Jewish leap year an additional month of 29 days is inserted before the month of Nisan. This is a Jewish leap year when Passover is pushed farther into April. Both holidays face head-on the daunting power of death — and both announce God’s greater power of life.

TRUMP: This is tax relief?
The Trump Tax Scam is still wildly unpopular, especially among women — only 30 percent of women in the U.S. approve of the law.

WALL: Tale of two sides
Central America’s recessive economy is adversely affecting our own economy. Many of the families showing up at our southern border are desperate for work. Most were displaced from small family farms located in the highlands of Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. They raised, harvested and processed coffee beans, but drought took its toll. When their farms failed, they moved to urban areas looking for work, but found that there were not enough jobs for those looking for employment.

Foggy Days: Reasons for brain fog and poor memory
In our quest for greater brain clarity, we need to understand that it is never normal to have brain fog, poor concentration, or lack of cognitive clarity, even as we age. While blamed on “you’re just getting old,” we know that isn’t true, as 20 and 30-year-olds can have the same complaints. While poor memory could be age-related, people under the age of 90 should be seeking other reasons for these issues.

Natural solutions for Raynaud's
Raynaud’s syndrome is a condition where small blood vessels narrow (vasospasm) and temporarily restrict blood flow to the extremities. The tissue turns white with lack of blood flow and then blue from lack of oxygen and then red when the blood rushes back into the tissue. It happens most commonly in the fingers. Scientists are not sure why the blood vessels of people with Raynaud’s tend to spasm and constrict in response to cold temperatures and stress. However, the condition is more common among women, as well as people who live in colder climates or have a family history of Raynaud’s.

Just eat well, get regular excercise, etc. and most importantly make sure to avoid “detrimental habits.”

Robert Smith’s “My Turn” about the utility of being able to fight back in life-threatening situations was spot on. He was offering an observation based on special training, a lifetime of experiences and study. Unlike the movies where all the good people survive with only minor and easily recoverable injuries, in real life, some good people die or are terribly hurt.
GUNS: Right - to a point
I respect the background of Robert Smith in his letter in the “My Turn” column and his logical defense of weapons in the hands of responsible citizens. But I find nowhere in the article (April 6) the other side of the gun-carrying question: How do we prevent mentally or emotionally disturbed people from getting guns to inflict harm on the community? Or even teenagers whose actions are sometimes caused by a burst of hormones and whose ability to make good decisions is not fully formed until they are about 24?

The fisherman feared the angry snake would bite him, so he grabbed his bottle of homemade whiskey from his pocket and carefully poured two drops into the snake’s mouth.

I am a gun owner, hunter and outdoorsman, have an extensive background in emergency services including 38 years as a firefighter/paramedic, and 30 years as a firearm and use of force trainer for police and civilians.

Idahoans deserve truth about 'Reclaim Idaho'
Reclaim Idaho, the group behind the Medicaid expansion initiative on the November 2018 ballot, is nothing if not skilled in the art of deceptive propaganda. For well over a year, Reclaim Idaho has portrayed itself as a grassroots movement powered by the people of Idaho. A recent expose in the LA Times reveals that efforts like Reclaim Idaho are in fact the spawn of a progressive nonprofit that was itself the creation of a California labor union president specifically with the objective of hijacking the state’s initiative process to advance progressive policies and advance union control. They have been successful in 16 out of 17 initiative campaigns.

70 Years on, NATO is a Strategic Partnership Worth Celebrating
April 4 marks the 70th anniversary of the world’s most successful political-military alliance – the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). On the heels of the Soviet blockade of Berlin and the West’s airlift, NATO’s initial 12 members founded the alliance to confront the Soviet Union’s emerging challenges to peace and prosperity. That foe was defeated, but NATO remains necessary to maintain a peaceful world order. It has defended the United States in Afghanistan after the attacks of Sept. 11, helped to end genocides in the Balkans, combatted the scourge of piracy in the Red Sea, and maintained a period of unprecedented peace among the major European powers.
