Rare rabies cure drives cost - Sat, 06 Jul 2013 PST
When Nicholle Joyce learned she’d been exposed to a rabid bat at a Spirit Lake home and she was nine days into the 10-day window for a lifesaving vaccine for the fatal disease, she did what her doctor’s office suggested – she went to the emergency room. The result: A $5,000 bill for her, and a matching one for her friend who was in the same bind. Joyce had insurance, but it had a $3,000 deductible and is only paying about $830. Her friend had none; Medicaid covered the shots for the friend’s 15-month-old son but not for the single mom who works as an aesthetician.

Huckleberries: Steady stream of oddities preserves CdA’s image - Sun, 30 Jun 2013 PST
A commenter on the Huckleberries Online blog who goes by the pseudonym “Sisyphus” contends that the image problems for the Coeur d’Alene area are cumulative. Many, of course, think of million-dollar waterfront property, pine-covered foothills and the floating green when they hear the name “Coeur d’Alene.” But others, says Sisyphus, wonder: Isn’t that the place where: 1. The old man lives who hit the black kid on the plane? 2. They had a KKK snowman with a noose? 3. The school trustee repeated a tasteless Obama joke? 4. They’re building a right-wing armed fortress? 5. They protested against Mexican food carts?

We are your Independent, Third-Party Home Inspectors throughout North Idaho, and bring over 50 years of Construction, Instruction and Home Inspection experience to your doorstep. This unique blend of professional expertise is drawn upon to conduct a thorough examination of your home’s construction and equipment. Your professional home and mold inspection is informative, educational, and safety-oriented. It is conducted in accordance with Standards of Practice criteria established by the world’s largest professional Home Inspectors’ association, the InterNational Association of Certified Home Inspectors.
Our job, as your North Idaho Home Inspector, is to determine whether the areas being inspected are functional and safe. Neither buyer, seller nor agent has any reason to be apprehensive about an honest Home Inspection. Homes being inspected do not "Fail". You are invited to join us after we investigate every major component of your investment. While we inspect, photograph and report, we are your eyes to help you LEARN your new home - from foundation to roof, the home's plumbing, electrical, heating systems and more!
A Coeur d'Alene home and mold inspection is no different than a Hayden home inspection, or a home inspection in Post Falls. The difference is in the home inspector. Remember, In Idaho, anyone with a flashlight and a stepladder may call themselves a “home inspector”. Beware of self-proclaimed “certifications”! Only InterNACHI Home Inspectors must successfully pass an examination before being accepted and Certified; over 70% of the applicants fail the exam. Many other inspector "societies" simply allow applicants to send in their membership fee, with no prior experience or testing.
