to the editor from this week's Chronicle Cottonwood School District provided a bus to help the NICI transport team when their transport vehicle overheated on White bird Grade. Photo by Aaron Krieger. Here is one of the many reasons I feel lucky to live North Central Idaho. On July 12 the Idaho Department of Correction’s transport bus, which moves incarcerated people to and from jails and prisons in Idaho, overheated going up the White Bird Grade. The IDOC transport team needed help. As always, our local government partners were quick to respond. Idaho County Undersheriff Brian Hewson and Grangeville Police Chief Joe Newman and his officers provided security while the situation got sorted out. Cottonwood Police Chief Terry Cochran contacted the Cottonwood School District, which sent a school bus to pick up the 24 incarcerated people who were aboard. They were transported to North Idaho Correctional Institution. Officers from Idaho Correctional Institution-Orofino moved some of the men to their facility. Deputies from the Nez Perce County Sheriff’s Office moved one man to their jail. You could say the response to the IDOC transport team’s call for help is unremarkable. For years, local agencies in our area have quietly worked together to solve problems. But against the backdrop of national headlines that scream stories about divided communities and broken government, I’m reminded of how proud I am to live and work here. Aaron Krieger, Warden NICI Redneck Review! No. 377 - 7/17/22 What to say? What to include? What to add? My big problem today is I stare at this 8"x11"piece of paper before me, strictly limiting the number of words put to paper! Especially when my dearest friend critics keep telling me RNR's "Are too Long!" (Just wasted three lines!) Last week's "What is happening next?" article ended its warning of a food shortage, a stock market downfall, higher inflation, with a short statement: "Many more comments next week?" Here they come! All following are taken from the most recent MARKET UPDATE, an eight page bulletin put out two to three times a month by Jim Cook's INVESTMENT RARITIES. The best of several bulletins I read, chiefly because it contains comments from several competent officials. (Call 800 328 1860 if interested!) Rick Scott: "Leftists are at war with what has defined American excellence...For the country to thrive, we need every American who can work to do so... to have 'skin in the game,' participate in our great system, pay taxes, and not sit at home, waiting for a government check." Greg McCoach: "The undoing of bubble markets in stocks, real estate, etc., has begun. It will only get worse, as the wicked effects of inflation now ravage the economy, jobs, and investor's portfolios. That is most investor's, because a small group in precious metals, going against the grain, will perform amazingly well." Shan Nagasundaram: "...The U.S. economy is in a recession right now. The Nasdaq and S&P have been in a bear market...the Dow Jones Average is on the verge of slipping into one. The U.S. bond market had possibly the worst 6-month period in the last 40 years...The cryptos have lost more than 2/3rds of its market capitalization in the last 6 months. The U.S. housing bubble, much bigger than the 2008 one, has started correcting with six consecutive monthly declines. The masses are about to learn why it is folly to trust in the FED, as the greatest destruction of wealth in history is about to take place. This is going to shock people as the realities of the situation hit where it hurts the most." Michael Snyder: "Trillions of dollars of market wealth have been wiped out, and investors are bracing for a chaotic second half of 2022. We haven't seen anything like this since the crisis of 2008. But the FED this time is not going to be riding to the rescue...It is committed to raising interest rates in a desperate attempt to get inflation under control... Carnage in crypto markets won't let up as token prices plummet, companies lay off employees in waves, and some of the most popular names go belly up...stock investors are also getting pummeled... U.S. investment accounts have declined in value by almost three trillion dollars due to rapidly falling stock prices. House sellers are dropping their prices at a rate not seen before, in some areas, home prices have declined by as much as 20 percent." What else to include? Wise is the person who listens to silver guru Theodore Butler! "I cannot recall a time when all the stars, planets and moons have been so aligned for a sudden and very shocking revolution in the price of silver! I have to believe there has to be a great reset in the price of silver. Everything I look at appears to be wildly bullish for silver...Inflation's recent surge, the decline in stocks, bonds, cryptocurrencies and real estate, seem guaranteed to stimulate silver investments... Everything points to silver being the near perfect investment today." James Cook: "I had dinner today with a friendly competitor who had just received the largest coin order in history. Someone wired his company with $50 million to buy bags of coins, Silver Eagles, Morgan dollars, etc. He thinks another $200 million will be coming!" FINALLY! Please say a prayer for my dear wife Marianne who passed away peacefully at home recently, after almost three years battle with illness, surgeries and colon cancer. Funeral tomorrow, 7/17) Jake Wren
