COMMENTARY: Elephant Metamorphosis
There are two types of people who get into politics; those that are called to serve and those that desire to rule. The natural evolution of governmental systems is for those that are called to serve are slowly displaced by those seeking power. Because politics is a process that involves status and power, in the fullness of time the goals become less about serving the needs of the people to more about concentrating power. This evolution happens nearly imperceptibly and those in power justify the concentration of power as a necessary element of their “service.”
MY TURN: Levy supports safe, operational schools
The words reasonable and responsible keep coming to mind as we think about the School Safety and Deferred Maintenance levy on the August 30 ballot. All five of us representing you on the Coeur d’Alene School Board voted to bring this proposed levy forward and ask for your support. This past spring, we trustees toured our 17 school campuses and support buildings and saw firsthand the urgent and emerging security and infrastructure needs.

Criticism of library contents continues
While some area Republicans continue to push for certain materials to be removed from area libraries, staff maintain that libraries must include books on all topics — including those that some deem controversial or objectionable. “The library can’t discriminate,” said CLN Director Amy Rodda. “We have books on all viewpoints.” At a meeting of the Kootenai County Reagan Republicans on Thursday, Marianna Cochran led a presentation about what she called “toxic” books available to children and teens through the Community Library Network.

Fort Ground Grill to stay in business
After North Idaho College trustees approved the $1 million purchase of Fort Ground Grill, the restaurant will remain open. Finalized earlier this month, the sale is for the property and the building in the form of a “clean shell,” without any fixtures or items related to the restaurant.

How to Double Check Your Own Estate Plan
We should all aim to have our legal planning in order, but how do you know if you have what you need in place? And how do you make additions or changes if you need them? Let’s take it step by step. Estate planning consist primarily in putting into place those legal documents that each of us need to deal with what happens if we become incapacitated and what happens when we die. Establishing those documents is just the first step though. You should also be keeping those documents up to date as life goes on. If you have estate planning documents in place and have any doubt about whether those documents are complete or up to date, normally the best thing you could do is to bring them to an estate planning attorney to review and discuss with you.
