AMADOR: Time for change

As a longtime Coeur d’Alene resident, local businessman and family man, I care deeply about education and the long term economic and social vitality of our community. I have had serious concerns in recent years about the direction and voting record of many of our state legislators. Many of our legislators have made a habit out of voting against many important pieces of legislation that had the potential to benefit Coeur d’Alene. Examples include voting against the mental health crisis center, which has helped to divert individuals in crisis away from our local emergency rooms and jails and provides an important resource to our community and voting against enforcing our child support system, which would have made Idaho a safe-haven for so called “dead-beat” parents. Fortunately we have an honest alternative this election cycle, Paul Amador is an excellent candidate for House Seat! 4B. Amador is very well educated and a true Coeur d’Alene conservative, who will represent us well in Boise. Paul is focused on earning the endorsement of our community rather than the Washington, D.C., establishment. If you care about our community and are tired of political insiders constantly seeking reelection, please make sure to vote for Paul Amador on May 17th.

BGH Foundation celebrates 'Champions of Care'

Many of us have a story of a healthcare provider who went the extra mile for us or who made our hospital stay a little bit easier. At Bonner General Hospital, we often receive cards and letters from patients or their families telling us how a particular individual made a positive difference in their hospital stay. This is one of the reasons the BGH Foundation established the Champions of Care program, which publicly recognizes those on our staff who go the extra mile for our patients or their families.
