EDUCATION NEWS
- ➤ Actor and stuntwoman Lisa Skvarla led a four-day action day camp at Follow My Lead dance studio in Post Falls where kids learned acting and taekwondo—skills like board breaking and on-camera auditioning were part of the program.

GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ The Old Military ID Card is limited to current service members, retirees and certain veterans with 100% disabilities — any honorably discharged veteran can apply for the new Veteran’s Identification Card by going to the 7th floor of the Veterans Administration Medical Center Mann-Granstaff with valid ID and a copy of their DD214. There is no cost for the card and the wait time is 30—60 days. Coeur d'Alene Press
HEALTH NEWS
- ➤ A retired RN described how physical and occupational therapists at the Spokane VA and Coeur d’Alene clinic helped him improve his mobility by providing a new rolling walker, exercise plans, and ongoing rehabilitation—services that are also available to veterans with chronic health conditions. Veterans who meet eligibility can ask their primary provider for a referral to these therapies. Coeur d'Alene Press
- ➤ VA Health Care is one option for veterans along with TRICARE, Medicare, and private insurance—but family members usually do not qualify and enrolled veterans cannot get insurance subsidies.
