LAWSUIT: Short on homework

I am disturbed by the article in the Wednesday Press that the local GOP is suing the school district, with subtitle of “Hopes to expose CDA district’s ‘left-wing activists.’”

PARKING: Spell it out, Press

OK, maybe I am somewhat naive, but when I read an article in The Press I figure the person writing it has done their homework. Case in point. Coeur d’Alene Press article posted April 20 entitled “Pardon our Mess.” This article was an update on the downtown construction. In the article it was stated that several parking areas were offering free parking during the construction.

MATHESON: No innuendo here

Steve Matheson was recently criticized in a letter to the editor for “making innuendo assertions lacking follow up substance.” I am not certain what she considers “follow up substance,” but had she done her homework, she would see Steve has provided overwhelming evidence to support his legitimate concerns involving the Treasurer’s office. The supporting evidence listed on Steve Matheson’s website, MathesonForTreasurer.com, is comprehensive if not exhaustive. In his Due Diligence section, Steve describes in detail his concerns while providing substantiating documentation. Given the Treasurer’s office (tax collector) had nearly $150,000,000 under control as of Dec. 31, 2013, I believe it’s important to decipher which candidate is making innuendo assertions with no substance. It certainly doesn’t appear to be Steve Matheson.

THAW: The truth matters

Thank you for the article on the video “The Thaw.” When I first read of the circumstances that were purportedly behind the making of the video — the homework assignment — I was astounded but as I checked into it there was no proof as to it happening. After reading the article, I see less proof that this assignment was given to these students. What I see is an environment of liberty allowing freedom to observe as each student wishes. I’m sure there are some students who may tease others but this is the way kids are and it doesn’t speak of an intolerant community but of the immaturity of youth.

If 60-year-old Steve Widmyer could talk to his 35-year-old self, the Coeur d’Alene mayor knows what he would say: “Do your own homework.”

RENT: To go or not to go

This is in response to the letter from Arcadia Nicklay (Dec. 7) regarding the Lake City Playhouse production of the musical "Rent." I feel it is only fair to offer a description of this theater piece from another perspective so that members of the community can make an informed decision as to whether to see this production.

Is stomach acid GOOD for you? Part I

Everything we hear about stomach acid is that it is bad for you. Medicines abound that help sop it up or stop the body, as much as possible, from producing it. But what if we are wrong? What if what we are doing to control it is the exact OPPOSITE of what we should be doing? What if we allow the burning to just go on?

Step Talk with Alexandra Mortensen

Any parenting book or child psychologist will tell you—consistency is key. With how many balls we seems to always have in the air in today’s fast-paced society, maintaining a consistent schedule for the kids can be a challenge, even when you aren’t a blended family. What do you do when you’re trying to keep that important day-to-day consistency, but you’re not able to find a schedule that works for both households? Or even worse, what if the other parent refuses to work with you on having cohesive homes?

Adrenals: Many roles

If you were to take a test and it asked, "what organ or gland is part of the sugar-control mechanism in the body, is responsible for the management of energy, blood pressure, eye sensitivity to light, the fight or flight response, inflammation, weight loss, sleep and sugar cravings," would you have guessed the adrenal glands?

Minerals: The foundation of function

The foundation of all life is minerals. Minerals provide a rich substance for the life of plants, which then give humans, as well as animals, insects, and most life forms, life. When the body is "returned to the dust," what remains are different forms of calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, sodium and silica. But all minerals have intrinsic value in the health of our bodies and our minds.

ORGANIC: State seal is important

Writer Michele Sheets did not do her homework in her article "A tough challenge: Buy Local, fresh food," (The Press, June 2, 2010). In her article about Cable Creek Farms and its community supported agriculture program, Ms. Sheets said repeatedly that the owners, Dave and Beth Tysdal and Kris Carey, were involved in organic gardening and selling "100 percent organic grass-fed local beef."

Are you weary or cheery?

Most people today answer weary more than cheery. Fatigue, brain fog, lack of mental clarity, depression, weight gain, and other complaints far outweigh cheeriness, happiness, confidence, and a general satisfaction with life.
