Redemptive redundancy is re-visited
Last week’s Geezer Forum was a memorable one. (“Memorable” is an ironic but intended adjective, given the topic was “Dementia Q & A”.) Nearly 60 people came to learn more about what dementia is and isn’t. PJ Christo, from the Alzheimer’s Association office in Coeur d’Alene was very helpful leading us through the complexities of dementia. Caregiving is one of those complexities.

The Inside Edge - Rough week for U.S. ski team
n Disappointing — Not in the medal count… in the exodus of our top athletes from the Alpine Team event. The event was created to foster a sense of “team” in the Alpine World. So much for that concept… Mikaela Shiffrin dropped out of the Feb. 24 event saying it interfered with her ability to focus on the Feb. 22 Alpine Combined. No sooner did he hear that she bailed than Ted Ligety pulled from the event for no apparent reason. And when Lindsey Vonn heard that they had abandoned the team, she allowed that there was no reason to waste the time on an event with no chance for a medal. Somehow they missed the team concept.

Being prepared equals better leadership
The misrepresentations of the Natural Resource Plan are reminiscent of the machinations during the period of 1880-1920. “The Progressive Era”, by Murray Rothbard, especially chapter eight regarding Theodore Roosevelt, is useful regarding the plan and how it relates to the Scotchman’s Peak issue. As stated by Leonard Bronson, then (1911) the manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers’ Association: “… from a selfish standpoint alone the heavy timber owners of the West are heartily in favor of the (forest) reserves: for the mere establishment of these reserves has increased the value of the holdings very heavily by withdrawing from the market timber which otherwise would be competitive…”. Reduce the supply, raise the prices and the profits for established owners and raise the barriers of entry to newer competitors.
