Al Gore’s global warming has made him millions at our expense. Every day, wars throughout the planet pollute more of our atmosphere than the public element. Stop the wars if you want to preserve our world. The globalists will stop at nothing to control the people. The chem-trails dry out our forests and pollute all of our natural resource. Guns kill about 32,000 per year with 20,000 suicides. The medical profession kills 1.3 million per year and no one said boo. Look at all the cancer agents in the food chain, and cigarettes have about 1,300 toxic waste chemicals in each one and that’s fine, too. Look at what talcum powder does to women, and the list goes on.

Bonner County needs to stay the course with EMS
Many of us recall the initial meetings to form a countywide medical service many years ago. Perhaps the formation of Bonner County Emergency Medical Services by that board, was not done properly; they failed to have a vote of the public to impose the new tax. However, we all knew the issues and short-comings with the private ambulance service. Creating Bonner County EMS was the best solution. Sometimes doing the “right thing” is more important than “doing things right.” Bonner County EMS has served us countywide extremely well, and grown into a highly valuable first responder asset of Bonner County.

Toby McLaughlin, Successor Trustee STATE OF IDAHO COUNTY OF BONNER This record was acknowledged before me on December 11, 2018, by Toby McLaughlin as Successor Trustee of the Deed of Trust mentioned in this Notice of Trustee's Sale. Brenda Burnett NOTICE REQUIRED BY IDAHO LAW Mortgage foreclosure is a legal proceeding where a lender terminates a borrower's interest in property to satisfy unpaid debt secured by the property. This can mean that when a homeowner gets behind on his or her mortgage payments, the lender forces a sale of the home on which the mortgage loan is based. Some individuals or businesses may say they can "save" your home from foreclosure. You should be cautious about such claims. It is important that you understand all the terms of a plan to "rescue" you from mortgage foreclosure and how it will affect you. It may result in your losing valuable equity that you may have in your home. If possible, you should consult with an attorney or financial professional to find out what other options you may have. Do not delay seeking advice, because the longer you wait, the fewer options you may have. Under Idaho law, you have five (5) days to rescind or undo certain contracts or agreements that relate to transferring interests in property or money in a foreclosure situation. An attorney or financial professional can tell you more about this option. SNP LEGAL 6456 AD# 261546 JANUARY 18, 25, FEBRUARY 1, 8, 2019

Love roses? Pick natives for beauty, scent, hardiness
Before the Scotchman Peaks Wilderness group was formed, I had become friends with top man Phil Hough when he volunteered with our newly-formed Kinnikinnick Native Plant Society Arboretum crew in the ’90s. Too, I’d known Sandy Compton for years before that, so it was kind of a “given” that I would offer to write a monthly column for their newsletter when it began. For several years I enjoyed sharing my knowledge of native plants with member readers, and one of my favorites was the article on Idaho’s wild roses.

A look at Idaho's school funding system
EDUCATION: Prior to being accepted into statehood by the U.S. Congress on July 3, 1890, we, the citizens of Idaho, ratified our state constitution in November of 1889 through a statewide vote. Not only did we concur on our Declaration of Rights in Article I of the Constitution, but we also made an agreement amongst ourselves as to what the business of the state shall consist of. One piece of that business is our educational system. Article IX defines the obligation of the Idaho Legislature “to establish and maintain a general, uniform and thorough system of public, free common schools.”

Toby McLaughlin, Successor Trustee STATE OF IDAHO COUNTY OF BONNER This record was acknowledged before me on December 11, 2018, by Toby McLaughlin as Successor Trustee of the Deed of Trust mentioned in this Notice of Trustee's Sale. Brenda Burnett NOTICE REQUIRED BY IDAHO LAW Mortgage foreclosure is a legal proceeding where a lender terminates a borrower's interest in property to satisfy unpaid debt secured by the property. This can mean that when a homeowner gets behind on his or her mortgage payments, the lender forces a sale of the home on which the mortgage loan is based. Some individuals or businesses may say they can "save" your home from foreclosure. You should be cautious about such claims. It is important that you understand all the terms of a plan to "rescue" you from mortgage foreclosure and how it will affect you. It may result in your losing valuable equity that you may have in your home. If possible, you should consult with an attorney or financial professional to find out what other options you may have. Do not delay seeking advice, because the longer you wait, the fewer options you may have. Under Idaho law, you have five (5) days to rescind or undo certain contracts or agreements that relate to transferring interests in property or money in a foreclosure situation. An attorney or financial professional can tell you more about this option. SNP LEGAL 6456 AD# 261546 JANUARY 18, 25, FEBRUARY 1, 8, 2019

Going just bananas over delicious recipes
long-ago trip to New Orleans and Bananas Foster at Brennan’s opened my eyes to the delights of cooked bananas. Later, from recipes in Monet’s cookbook, I realized that cooking bananas was not uncommon – at least in France!

Not margarine, not fake “can’t believe…” compounds, but real organic butter from real un-vaccinated cows. With that in mind, please enjoy the following (admittedly rich) offerings featuring Hawaii’s never out of season gift to our cuisine!

Ironically, a few days later I read Bonner County was pushing for another property tax increasing school levy. As a disabled person with a retired husband living on a limited income, I’m tired of hard-working American property owners footing the bills through increased taxes and $178 million would go a long way in dealing with Idaho’s fiscal issues. Therefore, we vote no.

Loving others: opportunity or just a burden?
Some years ago our mom spent several years in an assisted living facility as we were not able to care for her as she needed. Because I lived closest to her, it only made sense for me to visit her at least a couple times a week as well as when an emergency came up. I looked forward to the many opportunities to interact with her and with those who took care of her. I heard many a life story and came to appreciate mom and all those I knew there in a deeper sense.I came to appreciate aging in a personal way. To be honest though, there were many a day I’d rather have been somewhere else. What began as an opportunity to know and interact with others soon became a burden, a hindrance to doing what I wanted to do. I have my own understanding of what is worth my time.

Let's let our judges do their jobs and judge
As Idaho faces a $500 million request to expand prisons that primarily house drug offenders, and ranks in the top three states in America for portion of the population in prison, we can no longer afford to ignore the simple truth: mass incarceration is a costly and ineffective way to deal with drug abuse. Reforming Idaho’s mandatory minimum sentencing laws for drug offenders is the most obvious place to start, as it will not only save taxpayers money but also improve the quality of justice. Republican Senator Mike Lee of Utah and Democratic Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey just made headlines for their bipartisan bill reforming harsh mandatory minimum sentences for federal drug offenders. Some of us here in Idaho have been working across party lines supporting this long-overdue reform at the state level for years, and it may finally happen in the 2019 session.

The activists curiously did not oppose using dogs to hunt birds or fish with a worm. After all, who would hug a bird or worm? That didn’t work out, so now the grizzly bear is the next convenient excuse. The article should have also included how much taxpayers’ money these groups will receive, as a result of the outrageous Equal Access For Justice Act, whether they win or lose a lawsuit.
