What cognitive tests can show -- and what they can't
Cognitive testing is a 10-minute series of questions to assess different brain functions. What can the brief screening tool tell about a person's brain health? And when does the average older adult need one? The tests don't diagnose health problems. A bad score is just a red flag that indicates a need for further testing. Generally, it's a good idea for seniors to get checked yearly to spot changes.

Should we keep our heads in the sand and kick the can down the street on assessed real estate values? Should current property owners, our kids, and people wanting to enjoy living in our neighborhoods pay the price if proper actions are not taken? Banks may label our areas as distressed if inflated assessed property values are not in line with what has and is happening in the real estate market.

Assessor's office staff only following the law
I'd like to say a word in support of the Bonner County Assessor's office. I asked them where I could find comp sales for my property. Within two days, they sent me a list of nine properties — addresses, parcel numbers, selling price and sale date. It proved factually that the assessor is not arbitrarily assigning values to properties, but following the Idaho law of assessing at market value. I don't agree with the law, but now I certainly understand how my property was assessed and what data were used.
