Tax policy that will fuel a healthier Idaho economy

I am honored to continue to serve Idahoans as Ranking Member of the U.S. Senate Finance Committee in the 118th Congress. The Finance Committee has the largest jurisdiction of any congressional committee, overseeing all tax policy and giving Idaho a pivotal role in affecting policy shaping our nation’s economy. As this Congress gets underway, the following are my tax policy priorities to fuel a healthy economy.

Productive first quarter for the Wolverines and Wildcats

First quarter came to an official end on Nov. 3, and what a productive first quarter it was. Mt Hall Elementary and Naples Elementary started the school year running, and it doesn’t seem like we have slowed down since. Just this week, Mt Hall and Naples will wrap up their second year of Operation Gratitude.

Mt. Hall Elementary Newsletter

Great things are happening at Mt. Hall Elementary! Looking back over the past month, I’m surprised at all we have managed to accomplish. The Mt. Hall Auction took place Saturday, Oct. 20, and it was tremendous success. The auction raised over $12,000. A huge thank you to our amazing PTO for putting it all together. Another thank you to everyone who donated and came out to support our school. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for next year.

Fair needs to review procedures to prevent kids' hurt feelings

We were at family night Saturday night out at the fairgrounds and we participate as a family each year.

Let’s sit down over a cup of coffee and talk things over

Years ago, as a young man, I joined in family discussions with my parents, aunts and uncles, and my grandparents, often on Sunday after church. These coffee clutches were spiced with many different points of view, and argued back and forth. Opinions, topics or ideas, local politics to national problems, to world events, were discussed. These imbued memories have followed me throughout my adult life.

4-Hers shine at county fair

4-H kids from around the county brought their very best to the 2010 Boundary County Fair, and as usual, their best was excellent, in multiple disciplines. As is the goal in 4-H mastery of a field isn't all that matters.

Yoga, loosening body and soul

BONNERS FERRY — During the cold weather months, people’s bodies tend to tense up. Having an indoor place to practice yoga gives local residents the opportunity to stretch, loosen up, and get rid of the winter stresses.

THE FRONT ROW with MARK NELKE: Journey to a title in Bonners — with a brief stop in Cd’A

“The whole process has been completely amazing,” said Nathan Williams, now in his fourth season as the Badgers boys basketball coach. “And the parents … it’s an hour and a half to Spokane, Coeur d’Alene, when we’d play an AAU game, and an hour and a half back, and there were so many times there was 6, 8 inches of snow. And we’ve got a game at 8 a.m. They’d always schedule us at 8 a.m., coming from Bonners. So we’re waking up at 5 … it was crazy. But the commitment from the parents and the kids has been amazing.”

Student's comments lead to graduation suspension

A student at Kellogg High School isn’t being allowed to participate in his graduation ceremony as a result of comments that were made during a recent assembly. The assembly was a way for senior students to impart words of wisdom to the underclassmen of KHS – the statement that was made by 18-year-old Travis Lohr was one that raised a few eyebrows.

Boundary County Middle School prepares to wrap up another year

BCMS is gearing up for the end of the year already. The final quarter of school will begin as we return from Spring Break. This time is frantic for many as activities become more immediate, grades become more important, and hopefully the weather becomes nice making it hard for many to focus.

A chance for women to advance

Many women and housewives go through a period where they have spent all of their time making a home and caring for their families, that they put their career on the backburner until their children grow up and are no longer as dependent on their parents.
