County's justice system is failing area residents

Our justice system is in bad shape. How is it that Sig Jensen — a devout and respected educator — can be publicly dragged through the mud on the basis of one accusation? Sig was proven innocent of all charges, yet he'll have to live with the smear on his name, and the debt accrued in defending himself, for a long time. Why did this happen? The county prosecutor's office and the police failed to do their jobs.

Roads more important than recreation center

A recreation center? For who? So another tax paid for by a lot of people who will not use it. If you people would locate this thing in Sagle so everyone could benefit I might vote yes, but I will definitely vote no for something that is set up to benefit the Sandpoint area. It's the same as the school levies, the Sandpoint voters carry the weight and the rest of us get stuck with the results. The county roads are in terrible shape due to mismanagement, and poor road maintenance, and a rec center is more important?

Our streets glow with tiny white lights and Christmas trees shine through windows like beacons on a cold winter's night.

Cleaning water bed keeps sleep sweet

In this week's article, I thought I would discuss water bed care. On conventional mattresses, body oil and skin cells that is shed from the body soaks into the fibers of the mattress. On water beds, they build up on the surface of the vinyl material. If these surfaces are not cleaned properly decay will start, and with decay, a smell will penetrate the bedding and after a while will become unbearable by one sleeping in the bed.

Take responsibility for own spiritual experience

"Merry Christmas" or "happy holidays?" Do we really lack such ability to determine the course of our own personal lives that we can't find anything better to do at Christmas time than to worry about what everyone else is up to?

December 19, 2005 8 p.m.

'Tis the season for kindness

There are many holidays in December and the term "merry Christmas" can be used generically as a pleasant greeting among people, sort of like, "Hi, how ya' doin'?" or it can be a meaningful greeting between two people who both celebrate Christmas and truly wish each other well. Since communication is interpreted by both the speaker and the listener, I believe the term "merry Christmas" should be used if the speaker knows that the person they are talking to does celebrate Christmas. However, not everyone does, and in a public setting, such as a department store, I feel "happy holidays" is more appropriate. Is it worth the fuss to make everyone conform? Hmmm … good question.
