Medicare prescription programs available to all

For most Americans, particularly those of Medicare age, prescription drug coverage is one of the most important issues in their lives. The reasons are obvious, the medications we need more and more to remain healthy as we age are taking ever increasing bites out of what we may have believed to be adequate funds for our "golden years." In short, the gold we saved and planned for just isn't enough to provide for our needs.

Terrorism at the pump

What better way to destroy America's economy than for the Arabs to raise the gas prices. No other nation uses their highways as we Americans. We drive an average of 15,000 miles per year. Gas consumption on jammed-packed (parking lot) freeways in our major cities consumes even more gas. The best way to bring us to our knees is to bring consumer commerce to a halt. The only reason for the terrorist to use guns, and bombs in our cities is to bring fear and panic. Keep a sharp eye on your grocery bills,they're rising already.

Buildings are great part of community's heritage

In the Aug. 11 letters section John Howard's spiteful reply to Linda Ousley's letter about not tearing down our old landmarks badly distorts the meaning of her letter.

As a friend of Linda's, and as a "genuine native" of this area — having been born and raised just outside of Sandpoint, I have some knowledge on both of these things.

ITD official shouldn't shoot messenger over bad plan

The ITD's rumored threat to sue NICAN is a classic example of 'shooting the messenger.'

The project should, at least, comply with all State and Federal laws designed to protect our environment.

What's wrong with Bonner General?

All three of my grandchildren were born at Bonner General Hospital. Patty Omodt and Maria Walden were the delivery and aftercare nurses and as my daughter's coach, I witnessed first-hand their exceptional nursing skills. We even requested Maria to be the delivery nurse for the last baby who was born this January. Maria came in even though she was not scheduled to work. I found both nurses to be extremely competent and very caring and attentive.

Looks like the legislators did it again, scheduling a meeting during the day at 1 p.m. when most people work. It's my understanding they had a meeting scheduled for Coeur d'Alene that evening so they couldn't have Sandpoint's meeting at the same time.

Crime scene cleanup governed by regulations

In this week's article, I thought I would discuss one of the hardest jobs I've ever had to do — and that is as a crime scene cleaner. This job taps every sense of the cleaner's being. It pulls on their emotions because of the intense sadness the family feels and the compassion that tugs on their own emotions. Every scene is different regardless of whether it's a homicide, suicide or decomposition (natural or accidental death).

Evolution's critics dismissed too glibly

Jack DeBaun (July 28) dismisses his critics too glibly. Labeling the letters of others as "misstatements" doesn't make it so. And not everyone who opposes evolution is a creationist. Any intelligent person who examines macroevolution carefully can see its defects. It has not been proven by the scientific method, because it is not observable nor replicable. Right from the beginning, macroevolutionists fabricated conclusions and tried to massage the data (and in some cases just made it up) to fit those conclusions. They are the ones practicing "pseudoscience."
