My mom is supposed to take several different medications at different times of the day but frequently forgets.

This is especially true for people who take medications at varying times of the day. Here are some different product and service solutions that...

This verse (Matt. 7:1) is undoubtedly one of the most misunderstood and misinterpreted verses in the entire Bible. It’s certainly a favorite text used by a fallen world to excuse sin. But unfortunately it’s no longer limited to a fallen world. That world has had such an impact on the professing church that its mindset toward sin (and its twisted interpretation of Matt. 7:1) has been incorporated into the church’s ranks…even into many of its constitutions and doctrinal statements. For example, recently the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) voted t...

8 years ago The Commoner April 18, 1890 In Sprague, the saloon of R. Winter was burglarized and $100 was taken from the safe. The amount of goods taken is not known. The burglar entered the saloon by forcing the back door. A pink tea party was given last night and was largely attended. Someone turned off the electric lights and stole numerous overcoats and hats, making it necessary for several of the young men to go home bareheaded. 100 years ago The Colfax Commoner April 16, 1915 The decided and popular innovation of directories is...

Residents of Colfax for 27 years, Peg Moore and her husband, the Rev. Don Moore, have lived in their home for 13 years. Like most homeowners, they still have projects, but they love what they have created. Their 1938 home was built by banker H.A. Michaelson, and they credit him with building a quality, solid structure. After they bought it, Peg tackled the wallpaper removal and painting inside. Don, who loves working outdoors, painted, removed old shrubs and redid the backyard. Both were... Full story

Editor’s Note: The following column was originally published in 2010. In order to write a book about teenage girls (“8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter,” Workman, 2001), I had to get inside their minds, which was a bit like Queen Latifah trying to squeeze into a size 4. My basic approach was to imagine what it would be like to be angry at everything, unwilling to listen to anybody, fascinated by boys my father didn’t approve of and wearing so much mascara my eyelids stuck together. My daughters loudly and vehemently hated the ide...
Ask the Commissioner, “Why?” Imagine you have a product that customers love. It’s top quality, affordable and meets or exceeds all state and federal benefit standards. Better yet, your product fills a void in the marketplace that left people vulnerable and unprotected. Now, half a million people in Washington use your product and your customers gladly buy it year after year. Nevertheless, a government regulator steps in and tries to put you out of business. Why? That’s a good question. The product we’re talking about is health insurance...
Response Last week the Gazette published a letter from Rosalia Mayor Nan Konishi to State Rep. Susan Fagan listing concerns of local officials about lack of state funding for local entities. Rep. Fagan’s response is published below. Nan; Thank you for your thoughtful letter. You and other locally-elected officials have the biggest challenge because, as you point out, you don’t have enough tools available to address the challenges that come before you. The Legislature has developed some ways for cities and counties to secure funding for spe...
We live in the era of the anti-Christian pogrom. The slaughter earlier this month at Garissa University College in Kenya that killed nearly 150 people was the latest example of the bloodlust. Usually, such mass-casualty attacks are indiscriminate, but the killers of the Somali-based al-Shabab terror group sought to be exacting during their all-day assault on the largely Christian university. A student told The Associated Press, “If you were a Christian, you were shot on the spot.” One witness described his best friend begging for his life, pre...
I’m endlessly amazed by the continued success of Orwellian doublespeak, where propagandists — uh, excuse me, advocates — are able to shamelessly turn language upside down. Employing their rhetorical sleight-of-hand, the victimizer becomes the victim. The most egregious example these days is from those who try to impose their dogma on the rest of society. Remember that religion already gets favored treatment in this country. Churches and other houses of worship are not taxed; billions of dollars are lost to the economy as a result. At the same...
Hillary Clinton has formally announced her candidacy for President of the United States. According to her camp, this time around she will be more natural and show how connected she is to common Americans. This plan will show the real Hillary, they say, as opposed to the last plan which apparently didn’t. So, she kicked off her campaign with a slick video presentation with images of herself and common Americans interspersed with her message. She is also taking a road trip in a van to Iowa. Along the way, she is meeting with common Americans a...
