This letter is in response to the article regarding tall, multi-story buildings here in Sandpoint. If anybody wants them, I suggest them move to New York, Chicago, San Diego or Los Angeles. I'm sure at one time all those places were small, quaint wonderful places to live and raise a family.

Bill improves health, while saving money

Abortions, unwanted pregnancies, unhealthy mothers. We can change these into healthy mothers with healthy babies. This week, Idaho's Senate Health and Welfare Committee considers "Healthy Women, Healthy Babies" — legislation that allows low-income families to receive health care services resulting in healthier mothers and babies, fewer unintended and untimely pregnancies, and therefore many fewer abortions.

Taking care of business keeps community viable

I hope that the Planning Commission, Planning and Zoning, and the council will not be overly influenced by what appears to be an intense minority and, perhaps, even a majority, that thinks "views" and "character" sustain the viability of a community which we all hold dear. Our city was founded on neither, has survived on neither and will prosper on neither, and a sensibly applied ordinance raising the height limit by 15 feet will not even inflict a flesh wound on either.

City's noise ordinance doesn't make sense

It's, indeed, refreshing to read in your paper that Sandpoint continues on the cutting edge of creating an eminently livable community. How many of us have been annoyed by the senseless sound of our neighbors' excessively high-decibel behemoth lawnmowers audaciously chewing up green space at the ungodly hour of noon? Sandpoint, as reported in the Bee, may be the only community in America to confront this infamy head-on … what other community in America has legislated the banning of the noise of lawnmowers during daylight hours? Thanks, dear Bee, for reporting it, and thanks, Sandpoint City Council, for keeping my home town on the cutting edge!

Will residents spy for illegal tourists?

On Wednesday the city council finally passed the long-debated ordinance on vacation rentals, or tourist homes, for the city of Sandpoint. After 10 months of delirious debate and thousands of dollars in research, the council has sentenced an innocent form of property use to death. Over the 10 months of research, the citizens of Sandpoint have overwhelmingly stood against this ordinance through public testimony and written letters. Not one problem, incident, or police report was given as evidence in this courtroom drama to warrant such a drastic measure. The final verdict came with a 4 to 2 vote to pass the ordinance at around 6:30 p.m.

Bill filled with hatred for gays

When I was young, marriage was ritual of passage into the adult world. We were someone's children until we got married. Then, we concentrated on a career, building a home and becoming responsible citizens. Hollywood bombarded us with visions of love and romance and many fantasized marrying a Tarzan or Suzie Q but in my crowd most married the person they were dating when it came time to make the transition to the world of grown ups.

Defend women's, children's rights

Anyone who reads the Daily Bee has certainly seen the anti-abortion and Life Chain Prayer Vigil ads. I, myself, believe in the right for a woman to choose. Far too often, a female is not allowed the choice of whether or not to have intercourse. As disturbing as this is, there also is the fact that there are tens of thousands of unwanted children already struggling to survive a cruel fate. Obviously, abortion is not ideal; however, an unwanted pregnancy in an unhealth environment can end in horrible abuse, neglect, abandonment, or a brutal dealth. The numbers of unloved children is appalling. We shouldn't ignore these children any longer just to inflict our religious or political beliefs on others.

Last week, I received a call from a young lady by the name of Mandy. Mandy wanted to know how to stop the bathroom tub rubber mat from molding. She wanted to know how to clean the mat safely without a lot of harsh chemicals and she also wanted to know how to clean her bathroom walls without a lot of bending. I thought I would share with you my comments to Mandy about her bathroom dilemma.

Whether you "age like a five wine", or go kicking and screaming into the golden years, there are some fringe benefits that go along with the aging process. The high-flying antics of the "Pepsi Generation" may have mellowed with age, but there are some benefits amidst the gray hair and the varied assortment of wrinkles.

Idaho National Guard Solider

I am a soldier in the Idaho National Guard currently serving in Iraq. I do not consider it a sacrifice to serve, but an honor. From first-hand experience, I have learned that, contrary to what the media often portrays, the overwhelming majority of Iraqis are grateful for, and support, the American occupation. I have recently been a witness to a miracle in the recent success of the Iraqi elections on Jan. 30. My unit was stationed near Baghdad for added security during the elections. The success of the election exceeded our greatest expectations.

Local bicyclists don't obey the law of the road

Contrary to Mr. Fury's concerns, bicyclists in the greater Sandpoint area are a hazard to themselves and the public at large. On any given day from spring through fall, one can observe bicyclists traveling the wrong way on one-way streets, riding against traffic on two-way streets, ignoring traffic lights and stop signs, riding on sidewalks and in crosswalks and cutting in and out of moving traffic. In addition, most of the riders are in their late teens or older and seem to ignore the benefits to be derived from wearing cycling helmets.
