Hoop notes as season gets rolling
Some more thoughts on local high school basketball that didn’t make it into The Press’ winter sports special section inserted into today’s newspaper, and/or topics that may be expounded on in the near future:
McEuen contract won't be delayed
Council approves contract 4-2 despite postponement bid
COEUR d'ALENE - Coeur d'Alene City Councilman Steve Adams says his attempt to postpone the McEuen Field financial contract pending a nearly 3-year-old court case wasn't a stall tactic aimed at boondoggling the controversial project.
Osteoarthritis relief
Osteoarthritis (OA), a type of arthritis characterized by the degeneration of cartilage in a joint, is one of many conditions with a seemingly hopeless prognosis. Typically, patients diagnosed with osteoarthritis are told that cartilage simply does not regenerate, and thus they are destined for a joint replacement or other surgical intervention. However, there is significant evidence supporting our clinical experience that cartilage can, in fact, repair itself. One study supporting this claim appeared in the Journal of Rheumatology in 2006. In this study of 124 individuals, their degree of “cartilage defects” were graded and they were tracked over a two year period. The remarkable finding in this study was that, although many of the participants who began with little to no cartilage defects did see minor to moderate degradation, those who began with moderate to severe cartilage defects often saw an improvement in their cartilage health. In fact, of those who began with a grade 4 defect (the most severe), 80% saw an improvement!

Housing strategies, solutions
Solving the housing crisis in North Idaho is not an unattainable goal. It may be a "BHAG" — a "big hairy audacious goal" — but those who are working to accomplish this feat realize it will take collaboration, communication and innovative ways of doing things to arrive at outcomes desirable for the whole community.
OPINION: Don’t be a useful idiot
When any political supporters blindly follow the lead of the authoritarians in charge, and don’t question or understand the reasons, yet still carry out their orders, they could be called “useful idiots.” The term sounds like a mean slur, but is actually a longtime political concept rooted in communist history and has been powerfully applied by leaders from Carl Marx to Saul Alinsky.

PIGS: Shame on animal deserters
To whoever dumped their two guinea pigs last Sunday in the woods near the water tower on Wilber Avenue, shame on you! It saddens me that someone would do such a thing to these little animals with snow on the ground and 30-degree temperatures. Thanks to my granddaughter for helping me rescue these two and finding a home.

Thanksgiving proclamations reflect us as a nation
The tradition of Presidential Proclamations of Thanksgiving, initiated in 1789 by George Washington, in the form of a non-controversial executive order, quickly became a vessel for exaltation of blessings secured and those Americans hoped would endure, including cherished civil and religious liberties, as well as what Washington sought: enactment of “wise, just and constitutional laws.” The conclusions of war, or their diminution, often have evoked from presidents expressions of thanks that lives might be spared and peace restored. Poverty, afoot in America since the beginning, frequently has been singled out as a striking condition requiring correction.
