Prodigal praying
The convergence of a “Fulfilling Family” series we are presently in and Memorial Day have inspired me to encourage us all to “Prodigal Praying.” How so? My next “subject” in the family series is my oldest brother “Chiz” (Charles), who was my hero growing up, the best older-brother-protector and example of Christ that a younger brother could ever have. And then, following graduation from high school, Chiz enlisted in the Marine Corps and served two years in Vietnam, returning with an honorable discharge and Purple Heart for a shrapnel wound he suffered from a grenade.

Questions of why children attacked infant need to be answered
While it’s clear that adult lack of supervision provided an opportunity for a baby to be assaulted, an equally pressing concern is why the other children brutally attacked the baby. Even if it was a case of “mob mentality,” the children’s behavior was extremely appalling, yet the focus seems to be only on the day care owner’s culpability. The infant is likely traumatized for life; shouldn’t we also be considering the mental health status of the perpetrators and questioning how children in our community could display such behavior?

Today we wrap up our series on small trees and ornamental shrubs to mix and match in the landscape. Choices have varied from tall to short, bushy to open-branched and leafy, needled and/or flowering/fruiting, for planting in “layers” for a lush look. The thrust has been to point up multi-tasking choices that not only enhance the surroundings with beauty but provide sustenance through fruit or pollen to birds and insect pollinators and often, safe harbor for nesting birds. While some choices offer edibles to the grower, the general overview is for a combination of attractive practicality.

If they chose to stop these efforts due to a lack profitability then I think that they are showing a good stewardship of a non-profit’s funding. They receive a very small amount of funding from the Pend Oreille Hospital District to help provide for services in our community. I don’t see how we can blame BGH for operating at their discretion unless someone can show that the Pend Oreille Hospital District funds were not pent in our community. I would personally much rather see a private entity managing our tax funded mandates than create another bureaucracy to operate public clinics in the usual inefficient government manner.

We need Burgstahler's experience on POHD board
When you receive your Bonner County property tax statement each year, you see a pie with slices representing the percent going to various entities, such as the library. The hospital district is a very thin slice of that pie, but a critical one for our hospital and its associated clinics.
We need a change on the hospital district board
Are you aware that the property taxes you pay for the Pend Oreille Hospital District end up in the coffers of Bonner General Health in their entirety? The hospital then uses them for funding not only its own operations but has provided some support for clinics in Boundary County and even Montana?

Why doesn't no mean no for school district?
I have been taught that when someone says no, that is the end of it. You don’t keep trying to proceed but, the West Bonner County School District doesn’t believe in that philosophy. They try to browbeat you over and over until you give in. They love trying to push things down your throat, and the levy is case in point. Several months ago they initiated an election on a levy for schools similar, if not the same as the levy they are pushing for this month. A short while ago the people of the WBCSD voted no on the school levy. For some reason the message did not get across to the school board. Even though the people have voted no, the school board continues to try and push the raising of taxes and this levy on the people of the district. No, no, no on the levy.

Expires March 25, 2025 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 6731 AD# 288279 APRIL 30, MAY 7, 14, 21, 2019

Climate change predictions proven reasonably accurate
Monte Heil (Letter, May 2, 2019) cites “Atmospheric Escape – Wikipedia,” in an effort to substantiate his claim that CO2 cannot accumulate in the Earth’s atmosphere and contribute to warming. Following the link “carbon dioxide” in his citation, it states in part, “carbon dioxide is the most significant long-lived greenhouse gas in Earth’s atmosphere. Since the Industrial Revolution anthropogenic emissions — primarily from use of fossil fuels and deforestation — have rapidly increased its concentration in the atmosphere, leading to global warming.” He appears to be blissfully unaware that the information he provides clearly refutes his key talking point. Mr. Heil’s failure to recognize that the citation he offers in support of his argument actually disproves it and casts serious doubt on the reliability of anything he has to say about global warming.

Expires March 25, 2025 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 6731 AD# 288279 APRIL 30, MAY 7, 14, 21, 2019
