Coeur d'Alene, Idaho

The North Idaho panhandle is home to Fernan Lake Village, a small lakeside community directly outside of the City of Coeur d'Alene. Fernan Lake serves the village and the surrounding area as a hub for fishing as well as swimming, boating, and waterskiing. Although Fernan Lake is relatively small, it is the most fished lake per unit area in Idaho and is an important part of the local ecosystem and culture. The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality has been recording reports of nuisance blooms of algae on Fernan Lake since 2007. The algae blooms have become so detrimental to the lake and its users, the state of Idaho has listed it as an impaired body of water. Since 2011 postings have been put in place warning the public to avoid human contact with the lake water for several months out of the year.…

This led me to think that this book should be called The First Shot due to Danny firing the one shot that set the story in motion. This story portrayed its setting very well by providing examples of futuristic elements as well as real life locations such as Boise, Idaho. This book also included countless examples of surprises, both big and small, including my surprise when I saw what all Daniel’s one shot caused. Since this story was set in a futuristic time period, there were many items that…

Idaho Department of Labor’s website says that a Dietitian’s annual wage is $51,219. While the annual openings are few (about 9) the 10 year growth is much faster than average according the website (20.6%). It is considered to have a medium employment outlook of 306 in Idaho (idcis.intocareers.org). Some may say that that has its risk and disadvantages but I am passionate about nutrition and I know this is what I am supposed to do. Idaho Department of Labor has a lot of things that they advise I…

Rathdrum, Idaho Where you are from does not define who you are, but it does shape you into the person you are today. So if you were to ask me where I was from I would gladly tell you I am from Rathdrum, Idaho. A small town where only a few truly know what is like to live here and only a few know how amazing this small city truly is. Rathdrum has been the only place I have ever really known; growing up and being raised here I never have had the appreciation for where I lived. But in hindsight I…

shapes you into the person you are today. So, if you were to ask me where I was from, I would gladly tell you I am from Rathdrum, Idaho. A city where only a few truly know what it is like to live here and only a few know how amazing this small city truly is. Rathdrum has been the only place I have ever really known; growing up and being raised here I never have had the appreciation for where I lived that I should’ve. Looking back, I am slightly ashamed of how much I took this wonderful town for…

Ross Wiener suggests, in his “Teaching to the Core”, that states should not waste time and finances to develop new tools such as testing. The states have the opportunity to collaborate and share what already exists. Since the CCSS has been adopted in most states, a student is able to transition from one state to the next, with much more ease. (Rainey) For instance, math standards should be the same in Idaho as Massachusetts or Maryland. (Golod) Proponents of the CCSS argue that the standards are…

His gun accidentally fires and shots get exchanged where many protesters die. An outraged federal government demands for the names of the soldiers to be released as well as for Idaho to comply with the new law. When both demands are denied by the Governor of Idaho, tensions start growing and a civil war breaks out between the national military and the National Guard of Idaho. It shows how far a state will go to protect its constitutional rights when an oppressive national government goes too…

When John B. Rayner came to Texas, he did not know about the changes that were going to soon be taking place and the role in politics he would play. Rayner did not get into politics when they first came to Texas, because he felt like no one wanted to listen to an outsider. However, the political environment in Texas began to change in the Reconstruction. It is my opinion the at the prohibition movement and the rise, height, and fall of the Populist Party were the greatest events in Rayner’s…
