The royal runt rulers
I was the “runt of the litter” in our family. Sometimes the “runt” can feel small, weak, inadequate and unimportant — kind of a “left over,” getting all the “hand-me downs.” But I never felt that way, because my parents always said that because I was an unplanned-for “accident,” that must mean that I was “God’s idea.” In addition to that, I grew up learning about other “runts” like Joseph, Gideon and David (plus many others who felt like “runts”), whom God seemed to call to do great things, just because they were “runts.” This pattern runs throughout Scripture, and throughout history ever since. Time and again we see God enabling people from small beginnings and few resources to accomplish great things for His glory.

Puzzling that a person with Barry Rosenberg’s credentials should claim that the Idaho Department of Lands is unscrupulous and poorly managed without providing facts (Daily Bee, June 22, 2017). Perhaps in the past they were so, but a few years ago Montana’s Property and Environment Research Center, especially Holly Fretwell, published several studies that proved that in Idaho, state management of timber and recreation properties was far more efficient and profitable than federal management (www.perc.org/articles/divided-lands-state-vs-federal-management). Curiouser, Barry makes a big deal out of 114 of 2,800 acres (0.04 percent). Could there be some other motive in play?

Betony: Hardy 'Cinderella' beautifies its surroundings
Many ornamentals that earn the epithet “thug” are called that with malice. Not so Betony. The two or three plants I got from Lois Wythe over 20 years ago have burgeoned into a whole yard-full of beauty — probably a hundred plants — each beginning with a rosette of softly toothed oval bright green leaves that shape attractively into a mini-bush showcasing a bouquet of pretty long-lasting bright purple-pink blooms. The creeping roots form a dense carpet when multiple plants are grouped together, especially in full sun.

Let’s look at flakes for a minute. Barack Obama has been referred to as a snowflake.

Instead of moratorium, let's have exchange

PUBLIC NOTICE FEMA 4313-DR-ID The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice to the public of its intent to reimburse eligible applicants for eligible costs to repair and/or replace facilities damaged by Severe Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides occurring on March 6-28, 2017. This notice applies to the Public Assistance (PA) and Hazard Mitigation Grant (HMGP) programs implemented under the authority of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 5121-5206. Under a major disaster declarations (FEMA-4313-DR-ID) signed by the President on May 18, 2017 the following counties have been designated adversely affected by the disaster and eligible for PA: Bonner, Boundary, Clearwater, Idaho, Kootenai, Latah, Shoshone, and Valley counties. Additional damages and/or counties and tribes may be designated at a later date. All counties and tribes in the State of Idaho are eligible for HMGP. This public notice concerns activities that may affect historic properties, activities that are located in or affect wetland areas or the 100-year floodplain, and critical actions within the 500-year floodplain. Such activities may adversely affect the historic property, floodplain or wetland, or may result in vulnerability to flood damage. Presidential Executive Orders 11988 and 11990 require that all federal actions in or affecting the floodplain or wetlands be reviewed for opportunities to relocate, and evaluated for social, economic, historical, environmental, legal and safety considerations. Where there is no opportunity to relocate, FEMA is required to undertake a detailed review to determine what measures can be taken to minimize future damages. The public is invited to participate in the process of identifying alternatives and analyzing their impacts. FEMA has determined that for certain types of facilities there are normally no alternatives to restoration in the floodplain/wetland. These are facilities that meet all of the following criteria: 1) FEMA's estimate of the cost of repairs is less than 50% of the cost to replace the entire facility, and is less than $100,000; 2) the facility is not located in a floodway; 3) the facility has not sustained major structural damage in a previous Presidentially declared flooding disaster or emergency; and 4) the facility is not critical (e.g., the facility is not a hospital, generating plant, emergency operations center, or a facility that contains dangerous materials). FEMA intends to provide assistance for the restoration of these facilities to their pre-disaster condition, except that certain measures to mitigate the effects of future flooding or other hazards may be included in the work. For example, a bridge or culvert restoration may include a larger waterway opening to decrease the risk of future washouts. For routine activities, this will be the only public notice provided. Other activities and those involving facilities that do not meet the four criteria are required to undergo more detailed review, including study of alternate locations. Subsequent public notices regarding such projects will be published if necessary, as more specific information becomes available. In many cases, an applicant may have started facility restoration before federal involvement. Even if the facility must undergo detailed review and analysis of alternate locations, FEMA will fund eligible restoration at the original location if the facility is functionally dependent on its floodplain location (e.g., bridges and flood control facilities), or the project facilitates an open space use, or the facility is an integral part of a larger network that is impractical or uneconomical to relocate, such as a road or utility. In such cases, FEMA must also examine the possible effects of not restoring the facility, minimize floodplain/wetland impacts, and determine both that an overriding public need for the facility clearly outweighs the Executive Order requirements to avoid the floodplain/wetland, and that the site is the only practicable alternative. State of Idaho and local officials will confirm to FEMA that proposed actions comply with all applicable State and local floodplain management and wetland protection requirements. FEMA also intends to provide HMGP funding to the State of Idaho to mitigate future disaster damages. These projects may include construction of new facilities, modification of existing, undamaged facilities, relocation of facilities out of floodplains, demolition of structures, or other types of projects to mitigate future disaster damages. In the course of developing project proposals, subsequent public notices will be published if necessary, as more specific information becomes available. The National Historic Preservation Act requires federal agencies to take into account the effects of their undertakings on historic properties. Those actions or activities affecting buildings, structures, districts or objects 50 years or older or that affect archeological sites or undisturbed ground will require further review to determine if the property is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). If the property is determined to be eligible for the NRHP, and FEMA's undertaking will adversely affect it, FEMA will provide additional public notices. For historic properties not adversely affected by FEMA's undertaking, this will be the only public notice. As noted, this may be the only public notice regarding the above-described actions under the PA and HMGP programs. Interested persons may obtain information about these actions or a specific project by writing to: FEMA Joint Field Office, 4040 W. Guard St., Building 600, Boise, ID 83705; or by calling Karie Roach, 312-618-8516. Comments should be sent in writing to Timothy B. Manner, Federal Coordinating Officer, at the above address within 15 days of the date of this notice. SNP LEGAL 4639 JUNE 10, 2017

Was I ever surprised to see a letter to the editor published in the paper on May 25 that I had hand submitted four to five months ago. It must have been a very slow news day as someone cleaned off their desk. The subject of the letter had been tabled and resolved long ago so the article appeared pretty silly.

Benjamin Netanyahu was a decorated Israeli commando in the premier Special Forces outfit known as the “Unit,” the equivalent of Delta Force, Navy Seals, or Russian Spetsnaz. Vladimir Putin is a martial arts master who trains with Spetsnaz, the equivalent to any Special Forces unit in the world. Barack Obama was and is an alt-left “snowflake.” (Grin.) Must have been embarrassing for Netanyahu and Putin to be in the same room with a Marxist U.S. president and “cupcake” who hated his country; how pathetic. But Obama is just sordid history now.

Property protections: backing Idaho ingenuity
U.S. Forest Ranger Edward Pulaski helped save the lives of fellow wildland firefighters in Idaho’s 1910 Big Burn. He is credited with using his experience to refine what is known as the Pulaski tool that is still widely used to assist with wildland firefighting. Ed Pulaski’s innovation is on display at the Wallace District Mining Museum & Visitor Center. This Idaho hero and innovator is a fitting representation of the grit and ingenuity that defines Idaho. Idahoans have been at the cutting edge of inventions and developments that have helped people here at home, across the U.S. and around the world. Supporting this ingenuity requires providing practical protections for intellectual property that are vital to the health of our economy and the future of our country.
