Movers and Shakers
Roger Stewart, owner of Allegra Marketing Print Mail, accepted the Sales Growth Award for January, which is presented to the top 10 businesses in Alliance Franchise Brands’ international network of marketing and print services providers.
2030: Are we visionary leaders?
Bill Jhung, from Idaho’s Small Business Development Center, certainly challenged us at February’s Upbeat Breakfast, both in terms of our individual engagements in our leadership roles, and as a community. Bill, thank you for a great message on Tuesday. Now what?
Mark Bengston chosen as Best Physical Therapist
I feel extremely honored to have been voted Best Physical Therapist in North Idaho for the second straight year. The quality care we provide at Pinnacle Physical Therapy has as much to do with my amazing team of physical therapists, who collectively have more than 75 years of experience. Pinnacle has made it a point to amass a top notch group that includes, among other things, a former therapist to major league baseball and a champion swimmer.
PAY: Matter of perspective
Here's what most of our politicians are paid: $174,000; $193,400 if you are a majority or minority leader; $223,500 if you are the speaker of the house. At first thought, it sounds like a lot of money, but let's consider what our money would buy us in the private sector.
MEDICAID: Cuts unfair, devastating
The Idaho Legislature is contemplating cutting Medicaid services. Not only is this a bad idea because of the harm it will do to the most vulnerable members of our society, but because it is fiscally irresponsible to turn down the federal dollars that represent 70 percent of Medicaid funding! Cutting Medicaid would amount to rejecting those federal dollars, destined for Idaho, that WE taxpayers have already paid. What other investment can the state of Idaho make, where we pony up $30 and get $70 in immediate return? (The State Children's Health Insurance Fund - SCHIP - actually IS even better at 20/80 percent). To throw away $70 in order to save $30 makes no sense for Idaho taxpayers. And who will pay those emergency room bills for the uninsured? - The Idaho taxpayer.
VOTE: For less government
As we get close to election day I wanted to urge all registered voters to go out and vote. You have no right to complain if you do not exercise your right to vote. My wife and I voted early. I would like to recommend that you consider Ron Nilson and Robert Ketchum for the college board as they will bring new ideas to North Idaho College concerning vocational and technical education. I believe Kathy Sims will help in the Idaho House to keep control of our finances and balance budgets just as she has had to as an automobile dealer.
Behavioral/learning challenges affecting your family?
Spoelstra Family Chiropractic has been serving Coeur d'Alene and the surrounding communities for more than four years and our office has now expanded to serve this area with one of the only sensory integration programs of its type in the country. The program is called Focus and our goal is to improve the lives of those living with behavioral or developmental issues such as ADD/ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, learning disorders or undiagnosed issues with impulsivity, hyperactivity or an unexplained lack of productivity.
AMERICANS: Take care of own business
I am having trouble writing this letter because of the wool that has been pulled over my eyes for the past 54 years.
COUNTY: Vote yes to Streamline
Streamline. Yes, yes, yes. So here we are again, having the identical conversation in Kootenai County we’ve had for nearly 20 years. How do we run county government in a more efficient, responsive and taxpayer friendly manner? Well, it’s finally our turn, as the people footing the bill, to weigh in.
Firefighters president: 'Please decline to sign'
The Coeur d’Alene Firefighters IAFF Local 710 stand opposed to the attempted recall of Mayor Bloem, Councilman McEvers, Councilman Kennedy, and Councilman Goodlander. Our Mayor and Council have a long history of strong, consistent support for public safety in Coeur d’Alene. Their foresight into the public safety needs of our community and management of the city budget have allowed your fire department to provide our customers with services like Advanced Life Support (Paramedics), technical rescue, and modern firefighting techniques through advanced training and equipment. This could not happen without their commitment to firefighters and the citizens we serve.
RATHDRUM: Tribute from happy resident
What a great community Rathdrum is to live in! I want to address how supportive everyone is for our events. First, Rathdrum Days. What a great weekend! With only five weeks to put it together it was one of the best ever! Everyone, Chamber, City, Park and Rec, Lakeland School District, Lions Club and volunteers came together once again. We had a record amount of vendors and had GREAT entertainment!
VETS: Heart of postal service
I would like to give my sincere thanks to all military veterans who have given so much to this great nation. They deserve our positive support for protecting our freedom.
CAUCUS: Bursting at seams
Democrats are gathering Tuesday! Perhaps you have heard that there has been so much response to our call to caucus on March 22 that we are opening another site at the fairgrounds to handle the overflow crowd! Be sure to get there as early as you can at either site, well before 6 p.m.
STUDENTS: Cheers to them
I would like to take a moment to congratulate all SIX military academy appointees from our area. I say six because, I’m told through no fault of the Coeur d’Alene Press, the sixth student’s accomplishment failed to get reported earlier this week. It is an exciting time for our community during graduation season. These six students are to be commended for their hard work and determination.
SHELTON: Show your support
This letter is to add my name to the letter that my fellow brothers signed and submitted that printed on Tuesday, October 28th and to express my support for Commissioner Chris Shelton of the Mica Kidd Island Fire District. He supports us and makes sure that we are properly trained and equipped so that we can return home to our families at the end of each call with all 10 fingers and toes. He works hard at his job and is one of the hardest working volunteers in our organization. He has done absolutely nothing wrong and it has been proven so. The group that is behind this cannot be allowed to speak for all 700 registered voters.
POLICE: Earning our gratitude
I want to thank the Coeur d’Alene police, Idaho State Police and all the other agencies involved with the stand off that took place Nov. 29 on Quincy Court with John Crispin. I watched as the night progressed and was impressed with how they handled the situation and kept us informed.
AMADOR: Committed to Idaho
I have had the pleasure of working with Paul Amador in various nonprofit and business roles over the past several years as part of his efforts to promote and develop a stronger tourism industry in North Idaho. Not only is Paul a person of impeccable character, he truly believes in making Coeur d’Alene and Idaho a better place for future generations. Paul has worked extensively with regional tourism businesses and agencies to promote economic partnerships; as well as advance our workforce development efforts.
ELECTION: Colleges not helping
Those of us blessed with even a little common sense are ecstatic with the results of the election. However, I am very worried and disturbed by the number of mentally challenged Democrats participating in the destructive demonstrations around the country. The fact that many of these demonstrators are reportedly college educated individuals only confirms my long held belief that the liberal “educators” in our schools and colleges are contributing to the demise of our country by infecting our young people with ideas that have no rational basis in fact.
SHOOTER: Let him die soon
The other day we buried a hero — one much loved by our entire community. He gave a killer a second chance and ended up with a bullet to his head. I wonder how many reviews and investigations will be made to see if he did the “right” thing? How many more cops will be questioned and actions taken against them to see if they acted properly? I, for one, am sick and tired of this, as it’s going on the national wire. Our neighbor, Spokane, is one of the worst! Where is our sanity? And, how many of you would like to be in that position?
