We live in a time in which our nation is in love with perpetual immaturity and the world of make-believe. The school mass shootings illuminate the issue, not only that they happen, but in the solutions or “laws” presented to “fix it.” The schools teach that there is no God or accountability for man’s actions, that nothing matters: except the promoting the lie that there are no absolutes. These dark lies attempt to “shield” men from the consequences of their actions, while the truth is brightly illuminated in the light of the funerals of those murdered.

I thought it remarkable that a performance at the Oscars called out the NRA (“... NRA/You stand in God’s way...”) until I recalled that Hollywood is one of the largest enablers of gun violence after the NRA. When we choose to watch violent movies we are endorsing institutionalized violence. In fact, the whole idea of “violence as entertainment” — TV, movies, video games, paintball, etc. — many of which are aimed at children, is not only disturbing, it speaks poorly of us as humans.

There is a drastic increase in violence and lawlessness in America; the tragic shooting at the Parkland, Fla., school is one of the most recent occurences.

Maybe school shooters have had some of the above mentioned problems, but these are not the basic, underlying cause.

When my husband and I moved to the Sandpoint area in 2002, the future looked bright. At last, we had our home in the country. But five days after he retired he was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer. An aggressive treatment plan was scheduled. As we reeled from this news, he said it was going to be very expensive and he was so sorry. Fortunately I could assure him that the health insurance I’d continued after my retirement covered him as well, and that we’d be OK. His worry about the cost made me realize that a desperately ill person should not have the added anxiety of how to pay for medical help. And that is why I’m helping gather signatures on petitions to get Expanded Medicaid on the statewide ballot in 2018.

Analgesic facts and your kidneys
We all know what analgesics are, don’t we? You know: aspirin, acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil), and naproxen sodium (Aleve). These are the medicines we buy in the grocery or drug store to alleviate pain and fevers.
More fitness myth than fitness fact
Every so often, I write a column on fitness myths. Health and fitness seems to be swimming in fiction. There are so many wives’ tales around the various aspects of fitness that it is a great idea to dispel any nonsense that may impact your journey to better health and fitness.

Support the future, vote for Scotchmans
As a marine deputy on Lake Pend Oreille for the Bonner County Sheriff’s Office for 18 years, an avid skier with more than 1,200 days skiing at Schweitzer, and a sailboat owner for eight years, I have spent thousands and thousands of hours enjoying our lakes, rivers, and mountains. The recreational opportunities and the natural beauty of this area are the main reasons my wife and I moved here 25 years ago. While patrolling or sailing the waters of Lake Pend Oreille, I was always in awe of the natural beauty of this place. While many changes have taken place in the past 25 years, one area I would not like to see changed is the Scotchman Peaks area. I’ve come to believe that this area is special and needs wilderness protection in order to pass this natural wonder on to our kids and grandkids.
