SIMPLE THINGS COLUMN: Close to home, cranes and Wendell Berry
My grandson is in kindergarten in Bend, Oregon. He does not attend Silver Rail Elementary School, where four children and one teacher were shot to death this week. His school is blocks away. Before I heard about the shooting, my grandson’s grandmother in Bend texted me that the shooting was not at his school, so I was saved from the anguish of wondering. But the horror of school shootings took a big step closer to my home.
THE SIMPLE THINGS: Cold swims, birding and what if ...
Swimming in cold water I like swimming in cold water.
Remembering when the Rhythm Dawgs raised the roof; aphids filling the air
The supergroup Cream, with Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce, lasted only from 1966 to 1968; Creedence Clearwater Revival, featuring John Fogerty, lasted from 1967 to 1972; and The Beatles went their separate ways at the height of their fame. Not The Rhythm Dawgs. This Coeur d’Alene band, led now and always by former middle school principal Jim Lien, has continued to perform for 40 years.
Connections on a walk, Gloria and an iPhone in the lake
On a recent morning, after watching my favorite “CBS Sunday Morning," I ventured out on a walk. Near the water treatment facility, I ran into Diane Zipperer and asked about my former fifth-grade student, Lara. “Has Lara started veterinarian school yet?” “She’s in her fourth year," replied Diane, with a tone that implied that she, also, couldn’t believe she was in her fourth year. Around the corner, I ran into Catherine McLandress and son Ben.
Simple Things column: Ales, Rod the raker, theater and visionaries
Ales for the Trail The 13th annual fundraiser for our North Idaho Centennial Trail Foundation exploded to a whole ‘nother level Aug. 15. There were 42 breweries represented, as well as food concessions, 110 volunteers made the festival possible, 1,400 tickets were sold, over $36,000 was raised and all signs indicated that the attendees had a great time. One hundred percent of the proceeds benefit The North Idaho Centennial Trail Foundation.
Simple Things column: The Loss of Glen Harsard, Wallace mine tours and swimming
I have two memorable movies that I watched in a theater without first knowing anything about them. No one said, “You’ve got to see this movie.” I had read no reviews. “Dirty Dancing” was released in 1987, starring Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze. It featured the song, “Time of My Life” and the prideful quote, “Nobody puts baby in a corner.” It was a classic story of a socially mismatched male and female who ultimately dance their lives together.
Exploring the relationship between methylation of the cortisol receptor genes and brain and cognitive outcomes in individuals with elevated amyloid-β
|
Abstract Chronic psychological stress has been implicated as a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), potentially through cortisol-mediated acceleration of disease progression. However, the molecular pathways underlying this relationship remain poorly understood. Epigenetic regulation of the glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptor genes (NR3C1 and NR3C2), which encode receptors for cortisol, may play an important role, but has not been examined in relation to AD progression.

The Simple Things: Whitewater rafting the main Salmon River
Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, on their quest to locate a pathway to the Pacific Ocean, wrestled with the Salmon River in August of 1805. I experienced the challenge and the magic of the Salmon River this past week on a whitewater rafting trip with 30 people, guided by Row Adventures, a high-quality Coeur d’Alene outfitter. Lewis and Clark wanted the Salmon River to be their water route across the Bitterroot Mountains.
The Simple Things: Swimming, summer and 'Frozen'
GLORIA WAGGONER AND HER SWIM CLUB VALUES Gloria, who lives in Coeur d’Alene, was a national champion and Olympic trials qualifier in 1964. Now, at age 78, she trains with the Kroc Masters Swim Team and enjoys competing nationally and having fun swimming around Tubbs Hill with friends. Recently, she revisited the Los Angeles Athletic Club in Southern California where she trained from ages 12-16, and shared with me the beautiful values which are still a focus at that facility.
'Beyond Blue Sky,' Omi Swim, Street Music
It is a story of passion and brilliance, of a man who follows his outrageous dreams. “Beyond Blue Sky” is available on Amazon Prime and Apple TV.
Parks, Montana, landfill and Barney Fife
I recently drove to Steamboat Springs, Colo., for three reasons: 1) to visit my nephew in Jackson, Wyo., on the way; 2) to witness my partner’s son and son-in-law run the Steamboat Springs Marathon, and 3) to rendezvous with my college friend, Glenn, who lives in Denver. We cheered the 500 starters of the marathon, on Elk River Road near lovely Hahn’s Peak, 26 miles from downtown Steamboat Springs.
It’s the Simple Things: Rachel Entrekin deserves more credit
In May of 2026, 34-year-old Racherl Entrekin became the first woman to win the Cocodona 250, finishing in 56:09:48 to set a new course record. She was not just the first female finisher; she was the overall winner. One news source said, “She deserves more credit!” So here are more accolades for this amazing accomplishment. The Cocodona 250 is a point-to-point ultramarathon across Arizona, beginning near Black Canyon City and finishing in downtown Flagstaff.
It's the Simple Things: Don't be that dad
Recently, Scott DuCoeur and I drove to Garfield, Wash., to watch a high school baseball game between Garfield and Colton. Scott is the most fanatical, and knowledgeable, sports fan I’ve ever known, and his love of small-town life is contagious. We enjoyed the bumbling play on the lumpy field in rural Garfield and chuckled as number 13 moved like a sloth between his third base position and the dugout.
It’s the Simple Things: Biking, boating and tipping
THE JOY OF RIDING A BICYCLE Spring is in the air and bicycles have reappeared! Recently, while cycling through downtown, City Park and east on the North Idaho Centennial Trail, it hit me that one of the many joys of riding a bicycle is the friendly exchanges that happen with other cyclists, walkers and those working in their yards. Can’t do that from a car! Those “Good mornings!” lift my spirits. LOWELL BOAT WORKS OF 1793 I recently visited my brother in his new home of Newburyport, Mass.
It’s the Simple Things:Monday Night Beer
It’s simple. The things we enjoy doing tend to continue. I like reading the newspaper and drinking coffee in the morning. I like hanging out with Jenny and I like riding my bicycle and swimming with the master's group at The Kroc Center. I stay connected with my son and daughter and I seldom miss CBS Sunday Morning on television. I like doing the dishes. Those less attractive activities disappear.
IT'S THE SIMPLE THINGS: Dog bite, prosecutor's office and animal control
In January, while walking alone on The North Idaho Centennial Trail near The Coeur d’Alene Resort Golf Course, I was bitten by a black Labrador. Unprovoked. No dog with me. Out of concern for the safety of others, and wanting my ripped coat repaired, I reported the incident to the Coeur d’Alene Police Department, who forwarded it to the city of Coeur d’Alene Prosecutor’s Office and to Animal Control.
SIMPLE THINGS COLUMN: Cycling, swimming, beer and school
CYCLING STREAKS “Neither rain nor snow nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.” While not the official United States Postal Service motto, it is a tribute to their dedication. Similarly dedicated are two local cyclists, Josh Raybell and Keith Jones.
Thirteen years of making music; driving 95 and hiking the Camino
There were at least a dozen members of bass player Larry Easterly’s family in attendance Friday, Feb. 6, at the weekly jam session of 20-30 local string musicians at the Church of Christ at the corner of Fourth and Hanley. They celebrated two things with music and a potluck: Larry’s birthday and 13 years of gathering to share polished songs performed by talented musicians, and to provide a safe place for new musicians to take a risk and share what they’re learning.
On music, trails, films and failures
I recently discovered this musical delight. Every second and fourth Thursday, from 7 to 9 p.m., there is live jazz at Chalice Brewery, 413 E. Sherman Ave. The force behind it is saxophonist/vocalist/songwriter Dante D’Angelo, who holds a bachelor of music in jazz studies and has extensive performance experience.
Letter to the editor: It takes a strong team to keep Buffalo Mountain area clean
Kudos to the guys who work at the Buffalo Mountain Metro District for their diligence and hard work keeping Ryan Gulch Road clear when the snow flies and free from trash and debris along the roadside all year long. Especially for their work clearing the pathway on the west side o Ryan Gulch to allow pedestrians to get to the bus stops and to walk their dogs without having to walk in the roadway during heavy snows.
The current state of AI
Artificial Intelligence, or AI, has come a long way since its inception. It's like that childhood friend who was a bit of a nerd but has now turned into a tech-savvy genius. In this journey through the current state of AI, let’s explore its remarkable progress. The Rise of the Machines Remember when AI was just a glorified calculator that could beat you at chess? Well, it's grown up now. AI has spread its virtual wings and found its way into almost every aspect of our lives.
In The Pulpit: “It is of Infinite Importance”
“Save yourselves from this crooked generation” (Acts 2:40). Peter said this to his listeners 2000 years ago. God’s Word says it to us today. But how are we to do this? We are given the strategy two verses later: “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of the bread and to prayer” (v. 42). Those early Christians knew that if they were to remain faithful, they could not go about it casually. They devoted themselves to it.

MY TURN: Heart and soul of Kootenai County?
Like thousands of us who live in Coeur d’Alene, I LOVE living here and am determined to do my part to keep it a vibrant, welcoming place in which to live and raise a family.
God gives grace to the humble
The Scriptures teach us to walk humbly with our God and with one another. Philippians 2, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves” (v. 3). It’s not that everyone else is superior or more talented, but that Christian love sees others as worthy of preferential treatment. Humility is not a choice we make every now and then; it’s a way of life. “Clothe yourselves with humility” (1 Peter 5:5).
The Henricus Citie Militia - Tidslinje
Looking forward to seeing this map of the Capt. John Smith Trail online: "Richmond-based cartography company Terrain360 is using a pontoon boat with a 10-foot ...high “mast” topped with six cameras instead of sails. They capture high-resolution, 360-degree images every 50 feet, which software will stitch together to create a digital image map. It should be ready in August." Se mere
