PUBLISHER Don't Lose Hope!

We Set the Standard!

WE TURN ON THE TELEVISION only to witness news reports of violence and despair at home and abroad. Politicians bickering. Divisiveness that stems from politics, beliefs and race. But does life really have to be that way? With the Lenten season and Easter now over, let’s not lose the hope and promise the season brought to us.

Hope is defined as a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen.

Some may argue that this can lead to discouragement if our expectations are not met.

But stop to think about it. Where would we be without hope?

We do not have to look far to see how we can help others find the hope they so desire.

During the Lenten season, many typically talk about sacrificing things they love. Now that the season is over, carry on the tradition with a new twist.

Sacrifice your time. Take an hour or two a week and volunteer at a local organization that may need help. There are plenty of them right here in our own community. There are many elderly people who may have lost hope in the later years of their lives. Make it a point to visit with some of them. It will give them renewed hope.

One thing that makes our community so unique is people’s willingness to help one another. So whether you lend a hand to an elderly person at the grocery store, volunteer for a few hours at a soup kitchen or just smile a little more at passers by, know that you are helping spread the good news of the Easter season all year long!

GOOD NEWS CHANGING LIVES

Local pharmacist helps bring health care to less fortunate

By Patty Hutchens • Photos by Aimee Steurmer BONNERS FERRY RESIDENT, Aimee Stuermer, was searching for something to help feed her soul. So when she heard about an opportunity to go on a mission trip last year, she just couldn’t pass it up.

“I had always been interested in doing a mission trip,” said Aimee, who owns Medicine Man Pharmacy in Bonners Ferry along with her husband Shane. “Last February, a fellow alumnus … posted on Facebook that a group she had done mission trips with in the past had several pharmacists drop out of an upcoming mission trip due to concerns about Zika virus. She put out a call to action to any pharmacists who may be interested. I decided to go on February 8, 2016, and the mission began on March 11, 2016. It was very last minute!”

Led by Faith In Practice, Aimee traveled to Retalhuleu Department in Guatemala. She spent two days in a clinic in Aldea Biloma and two additional days working in a clinic in Pueblo Nuevo, as well as in local schools.

When the opportunity to travel with the same group came about this year, Aimee knew she had to go. “This year, we went to El Progreso Department in Guatemala, spending two clinic days in Sanarate and two clinic days in Morazán,” she said.

As a pharmacist, Aimee’s role was to fill prescriptions for patients who were seen by the clinic doctors as well as those being referred to surgery and other services.

“We had a strict formulary of medications that the prescribers could write for,”

BonnersFerryLivingLocal.com

said Aimee. “We would, in general, dispense a three-month supply of long-term medications and fewer for acute medications, in hopes that the patients would try the medications, discover their benefits and purchase them in local pharmacies. Medications are available over the counter in Guatemala.”

Due to the malnutrition in the patients they saw, Aimee and her fellow pharmacists gave every patient of every age a large supply of multivitamins.

Aimee shared that the majority of the medications came prepackaged in baggies with a specific amount of medication in each. They had a label that was pre printed in Spanish and typically only required filling in the patient's name, the number of tablets/capsules per dose and how often to take the dose.

“As pharmacists, we would also check the medications for accuracy, appropriate dose and drug interactions,” said Aimee. “Generally, our bus drivers who transport us to the clinics double as our medication consultants, and they counsel each patient on how to take the medication and any applicable side effects. When they are busy, it is fun to help out— if you speak Spanish—and do the counseling yourself.”

This year, Aimee said there were 35 to 40 people who went on the trip.

Some of the roles included general, pediatric and gynecology physicians, translators, dentists, dental assistants, nurses, laboratory technicians, photojournalists, organizational bus drivers and armed security guards.

A local ophthalmologist was also on hand two of the four clinic days.

Aimee is grateful for all those she worked hand in hand with on these missions, but even more so, she will never forget the gratitude expressed by those they served.

“At the end of the two days in one village, we pack up our supplies and gather together to spread thanks. Last year, the mayor of Pueblo Nuevo made a speech thanking us for helping his city and then presented the group leader with a certificate granting us all honorary citizens of the city. This year, the mayor of Sanarate presented every single one of us with a handmade tote bag made by villagers, which really brought tears to my eyes,” said Aimee.

“The mayor of Morazán presented every single one of our team members with a personalized certificate thanking us for our hard work.”

General and Family Dentistry Hank Willis, DDS “Gentle Dental Care for the Entire Family”

Aimee knows she and her fellow missionaries are making a profound difference in the lives of those they serve, but what many do not know is the difference they are making in Aimee’s life.

And it is her story that she also wants people to know.

Aimee struggles with clinical depression and suicidal episodes. “It is one of the reasons I have always wanted to go on a mission trip—so that I could find purpose in my life and reasons why my life was better spent alive and helping others,” said Aimee. “When I was presented with the opportunity to join this mission trip last year, I was just coming out of one of my severe, bedridden episodes, and it just seemed meant to be. That is why I jumped on it so quickly.”

Aimee added that it’s important to her to take away the stigma of mental illness and to talk openly about it. “I make sure to share my story with all of my fellow volunteers on each mission trip so I can strip away that stigma,” she said. “These trips have helped me to align myself and refocus my priorities.”

A little advice from Aimee for those who have ever considered going on a mission trip: “Definitely pursue it. It will change your life, as it changed mine,” she said, adding that it is important to find a reputable organization with excellent personal security.

Enhance Your Look Today

“Every year, this trip helps to put my problems into perspective and helps me to realize how blessed I really am to have the life I do,” Aimee said. “I learn to be appreciative for what I have and to always have a generous, giving attitude in all aspects of my life.”

ESSENTIALS This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor, Kevin Callos

FINANCIAL FOCUS DON’T LET YOUR INVESTMENTS TAKE A “VACATION”

IT’S SUMMER AGAIN – time for many of us to take a break and possibly hit the open road. But even if you go on vacation, you won’t want your investments to do the same – in summertime or any other season.

How can you help make sure your portfolio continues to work hard for you all year long?

Here are a few suggestions: • Avoid owning too many “low growth” investments. As you know, different investments have different characteristics and can help you in different ways. For example, you typically own stocks because you want them to grow in value so that you can eventually sell them for a profit. Other investments, such as certificates of deposit (CDs), provide you with a regular source of income and stability of principal – two valuable contributions to your portfolio.

However, investments like CDs don’t

You’ve Spent a Lifetime Preparing for Retirement.

offer much in the way of growth.

So if you own too many of them, you might be slowing your progress toward your important financial goals, such as a comfortable retirement.

You can maximize the productivity of your portfolio by owning a variety of investments – domestic stocks, international stocks, corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury securities, CDs and more.

How much of each investment should you own? The answer depends on a variety of factors, including your age, income, risk tolerance, family situation and specific objectives. Over time, your ideal investment mix may change, but you’ll likely need at least some growth potential at every stage of your life.

• Don’t let your portfolio go “unsupervised.”

Your investment portfolio can be subject to “drift” if left alone for extended time periods. In fact, without your making any moves at all, your portfolio can move in directions that may not be favorable to you. Suppose you think your holdings should be made up of 70% stocks, but due to strong gains, your stocks now make up 80% of your portfolio. This development could lead to a risk level that feels uncomfortably high to you.

That’s why you should review your portfolio at least once a year, possibly with the help of a financial professional, to check your progress and make adjustments as needed.

• Don’t stop at the nearest “resting place.”

Some people hope that if they can get that one “winner,” they will triumph in the investment arena. But the ability to “get rich quick” is much more of a myth than a reality. True investment success typically requires patience, persistence and the resilience to continue investing even during market downturns.

In other words, investing is a long-term endeavor, and you need a portfolio that reflects this reality. The investment moves you make today may pay off for you decades from now. You need to establish your goals and keep them constantly in mind as you invest. And you will never really reach the end of your investment journey, because you’ll need to make choices and manage your portfolio throughout your retirement years.

Hopefully, you will enjoy a pleasant vacation sometime this summer. But your investment portfolio shouldn't take time off.

Now What?

If you’re recently retired or planning to retire, you’re probably concerned about making the right financial decisions. Together, we can find the answers.

We’ll sit down, face to face, to develop a strategy designed to help your finances meet your needs over the long haul.

To develop a retirement income strategy that works for you, call or visit today.

EVERYONE WANTS TO LIVE a longer, healthier life, but not everyone knows where to find answers to health questions or where to find local services and support groups.

Attendees can also buy vegetable plants and flowers for your garden from Eden Landscaping to support the Extended Care Facility, and discover more about the specialists who have clinics and surgery through Hospital Outpatient Services.

Vendors this year include the BCH emergency team featuring Idaho Time Sensitive Emergency systems of care for trauma, stroke and heart attack including a Life Flight medical transport helicopter and exhibits from Boundary Ambulance. The City of Bonners

STROKE! Think FAST

By Stu Willis, MD, Emergency Department Director

A DROOPING FACE, weakness or numbness on one side, slurred or garbled speech … this could be a stroke. Like heart attacks, a stroke is a life-and-death emergency; time is critical, and every second counts, so think FAST and dial 911 immediately.

FAST is a reminder of some of the signs of a stroke to be aware of: Face – Is there a droop on one side? Have the person smile.

Arms – Is there weakness on one side? Have them raise the arms and test the hand grip.

Speech – Is there altered speech (slurred or unable to speak)? Have them say, “The sky is blue.”

Time – Every second is crucial; certain procedures and medications must be done quickly.

Other sudden and unexpected signs of a possible stroke include—but are not limited to—confusion or difficulty understanding, numbness on one side or part of the body, trouble seeing with one or both eyes, dizziness, loss of balance or difficulty walking, and a severe migraine-like headache with no prior history.

Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the U.S., killing 133,000 persons annually nationwide; about one in 20 deaths. Someone in the U.S. has a stroke every 40 seconds. The care for a stroke patient and the consequent disability results in more than $34 billion in

Many experts feel enhanced public education to decrease the risk factors leading to stroke and the notable systems in place for early stroke identification and treatment have contributed to the lower death rates in the U.S. annual health-care costs, as well as the anguish for the patient and the family.

There are two basic types of stroke. An “ischemic” stroke is caused by a bloodflow blockage, similar to a heart attack clot. “Hemorrhagic” is a stroke caused by spontaneous bleeding in the brain (sometimes from a burst aneurysm). An emergency CT scan is needed to determine the difference.

If the stroke is ischemic (clot blockage), a clot-buster medication must be administered within three hours of the onset of symptoms (up to 4 ½ hours in certain instances).

The hospital Emergency Department staff stands ready with 24/7 CT-scan capability to determine if a stroke is ischemic or hemorrhagic, and can immediately deliver the clot-buster medicine when indicated. But it must start with the recognition of stroke signs and symptoms and dialing 911.

Worldwide, stroke is the second leading cause of death, only after heart disease. Many experts feel enhanced public education to decrease the risk factors leading to stroke and the notable systems in place for early stroke identification and treatment have contributed to the lower death rates in the U.S. A stroke can strike at any age, and in the U.S., about one-

BonnersFerryLivingLocal.com

third of strokes occur in persons under the age of 65. Even persons in their 20s and 30s can suffer strokes.

Prevention through public education and intervention is the key to lowering the stroke risk. The American Heart Association and American Stroke Association have identified seven key health risk factors and behaviors that influence the onset of heart disease and stroke in the U.S. These “Life’s Simple 7” are: smoking, physical inactivity, nutrition, obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes.

As the first Pacific Northwest hospital to receive the Critical Access Hospital designation by the federal government, Boundary Community Hospital plays an essential role in meeting the health-care needs of Bonners Ferry and the surrounding county. Under the Idaho Time Sensitive Emergency System, the hospital was recently awarded the designation as a TSE Level IV Trauma Center. The hospital is now actively engaged in meeting the stringent criteria required for designation as a Level III Stroke Center.

ATHLETE OF THE MONTH

Proud Supporter of our Local Athletes!

BY PATTY HUTCHENS am planning on wrestling in college and becoming a coach in the future.”

It is not just in school and sports that Jesse has a strong work ethic; he also works hard during the summer months.

JESSE SANDELIN: BONNERS FERRY HIGH SCHOOL junior, Jesse Sandelin, has always been passionate about sports. He has been involved in athletics since grade school and has played soccer and football for the past seven years.

But for the last four year, it is his participation in wrestling that has become his true passion.

“Wrestling is a very competitive sport and is physically and mentally demanding, with techniques that are only mastered with years of practice, hours of dedication and the inner drive to keep wrestling,” said Jesse. “You are part of the team, but on the mat it is just you.”

Realizing the importance grades play in pursuing a career, Jesse keeps busy studying and balancing his athletics and academics to best prepare for his higher education.

“My future plan is to attend North Idaho College for welding and fabrication, diesel tech and graphic design,” said Jesse. “And I

“I currently enjoy working for a local landscaping company in the summer to finance my college,” Jesse said.

“When I complete my schooling at North Idaho College, my goal is to open a welding and fabrication shop.”

Providing Boundary County with advanced reliable high speed internet service.

Jesse said his most memorable moment in his wrestling career came this year when he placed at the state high school championships.

“I also have several great memories with my team,” he said. “The Badger wrestling team has a family bond amongst wrestlers and coaches that is special to me. My wrestling coaches are some of the best.”

When asked what life lesson he has learned from sports, Jesse responded: “Sports have taught me several life lessons [including] dedication, determination and good work ethic, to name a few.” And he added, “Always try to do your best.”

Hope House Continues Mission • By Colin Anderson

Over the past six years, the Hope House has helped hundreds of families in need.

NO STRINGS ATTACHED NEIGHBORS HELPING NEIGHBORS IS AN idea lost on many in a world that seems so divided and filled with anger. Often people become self-absorbed with their own opinions and beliefs, and for anyone to challenge those beliefs is nearly unthinkable. Though it seems that the loudest on each end of an argument garner the most attention, all across the country there are those who continually put aside their personal beliefs to help those in need, including right here in Boundary County.

“Simply here to help; no strings attached,” is the motto of the Hope House, and it’s been that way since it first opened its doors in 2011 at the corner of Roosevelt and Division in Moyie Springs. The Hope House, which is run by the Bonners Ferry Church of the Nazarene, steers away from perpetuating a heavy religious overtone—though it is a religious organization. People from all walks of life, denominations and faiths are welcome at the Hope House with no strings attached.

Over the past six years, the Hope House has helped hundreds of families in need. An incredible number

DIRECTOR AIMEE CHRISTOPHERSON SAYS THAT PEOPLE IN VARIOUS LIFE CIRCUMSTANCES MAKE THEIR WAY TO THEIR DOOR. “We support a lot of families and seniors who are trying hard to make ends meet but just need a little extra help from time to time,” says Christopherson. “When you walk through Hope House’s doors, it is easy to see just how generous our Bonners Ferry community is.” of donations from the surrounding community are offered on a weekly basis, further proof of the community’s belief in the Hope House’s mission.

Families and individuals in need of a few items will find them here. There is gently used clothing for all seasons for men, women, children and infants. Toiletry items like deodorant, toothpaste and toothbrushes are always available, and mothers in need of infant items such as diapers, wipes, formula and other necessities will find help at the Hope House.

There is never a charge for these items, as the Hope House operates off the generosity of donations by the local community.

Director Aimee Christopherson says that people in various life circumstances make their way to their door. “We support a lot of families and seniors who are trying hard to make ends meet but just need a little extra help from time to time,” says Christopherson. “When you walk through Hope House’s doors, it is easy to see just how generous our Bonners Ferry community is.”

This past March, the Hope House hosted a sorting party due to the incredible amount of clothing they received during the late winter months.

The community, again, stepped up to help go through and organize the items so they could more easily distribute the right clothing to those in need.

With school out during the summer months, it can be difficult for local families to provide enough food for their children. The Hope House recognizes this need and is offering a free lunch each Tuesday as well as fun arts and crafts opportunities to help busy the kids. The last Sunday of each month, they hold a block party for the entire community, with free food and drinks, as well as a bounce castle for the kids. Often times during these events, there are special appearances by local fire and ambulance personnel.

Despite the immense generosity, there are several items that the Hope House is in constant need of, such as gently used pots and pans. Although the days are getting warmer, many of the area homes have wood stoves as their heat source, so a firewood donation or an offer to help chop wood for families is always appreciated. Men’s and boys’ jeans without too much wear are also in high demand. Anytime you can provide non-perishable food, numerous programs serviced by the Hope House ensure that these food items make it to the tables of community members in need.

The Hope House will continue its mission of helping people in their time of need. It is not designed as a full-scale support system but rather a place where community members can go for essentials to help get them through a rough patch, and as always, nothing is asked in return. If you would like to help out or donate, you can bring your items directly to the Hope House on the northwest corner of Roosevelt and Division in Duplex A. You can also follow them on Facebook to learn of upcoming events, donations from the community and what particular items the center is in need of at any given time.

Helping your neighbors in a time of need might not grab headlines of major papers or be the top story on the evening news, but those who lend a helping hand know they’ve made a difference in someone’s life, and nothing is more fulfilling than acknowledging this, even without the recognition.

NATURE’S RESPONSE TO WILDFIRE An opportunity for regeneration and growth

Most of us have seen lightning crack out of the clouds and hit the ground, but did you know only certain bolts can start a fire? There are two types of lightning: hot lightning and cold lightning. A bolt of cold lightning carries an intense electrical current but only lasts for a few thousandths of a second. Hot lightning has currents with less voltage but can last as long as a full second. One second isn’t a lot of time, but it is long enough to start a fire. Today, about 10 percent of wildfires are started by lightning strikes; the remaining 90 percent are caused by humans.

By Mary Terra-Berns

ARISTOTLE WAS AN INTELLIGENT GUY. He is often credited with being the first genuine scientist in history. Not only was he smart, he was very observant and noted that nature is either at rest or is changing.

Fire, along with other natural disturbances such as floods, landslides and earthquakes, can generate substantial change across the landscape. Fire, one of nature's oldest phenomena, has left its fingerprint in petrified wood and coal deposits that formed around 350 million years ago. Although some fires back then were probably caused by volcanic eruptions, most were likely started by lightning strikes.

Regardless of how a fire starts, the flames change the scenery. Last summer, several wildfires flared up in Northern Idaho; however, not nearly as many as the summer of 2015—one of the worst fire seasons on record in Idaho. Approximately 804,094 acres burned in Idaho in 2015, whereas in an average year about 577,700 acres are consumed by wildfires. Fires burn intensely in some areas while leaving other areas completely untouched, creating a patchwork of different habitats.

Some fires are tenacious and can burn until the rain and snow of autumn and winter finally extinguish the flames. In spring,

as the Earth's rotation slowly brings more sunlight, longer days, warmer temperatures and moisture in the form of melting snow and spring rain, we see another transformation, one not driven by infernos, but by new growth and regeneration. Nature, with patient persistence, will get to work with the business of restoring what was consumed by the flames, and doing it with grace and beauty.

Change brings opportunity, right? Fire provides the opportunity for regeneration and growth of plant species that are fire-dependent.

For example, some lodgepole pine cones are sealed with resin (serotinous cones) that traps the seeds inside until the cone is subjected to the heat from flames, which melts the resin and releases the seeds from the cone. Plant species that are shade-intolerant take advantage of increased sunlight in fire-created canopy openings that allow seedlings a place to thrive and out-compete shade-tolerant species.

Burned vegetation and trees add nutrients to the soil that enhance plant growth, starting with those leafy herbaceous plants we call wildflowers and weeds. These quick germinating forbs take advantage of the new open ground and spring to life. For example, fireweed is characteristically the first to appear after the fire has past, often in a matter of days.

This pioneer species quickly colonizes the slightly acidic soil left in the wake of a fire; thus, its name. Those long graceful stems with their burst of purplish-pink flowers are inspiring.

And, as with Yellowstone National Park after the catastrophic fires in 1988, the Northern Idaho burn scars are likely to have a riot of wildflowers in the next two to five years.

Grasses, with their extensive root systems that have survived in the soil, start sending up shoots as soon as the spring rains moisten the ground. Additionally, many plant species like willow, aspen and birch will regenerate from their roots that survived the heat and flames underground. Seeds that survived in the soil are combined with others deposited in animal droppings and those that are blown in on the wind.

Fortunately for those of us who are wild harvesters, Morchella fungus survives wildfire through its extensive underground network of spider-web threads called mycelium that take in a rush of nutrients from burned vegetation and decomposing trees. The mycelium pushes fruiting bodies up above the soil creating a fairy forest of morel mushrooms. Local foragers are well aware of these morel "hot spots," which can be successful hunting grounds for a year or two after a fire.

BonnersFerryLivingLocal.com

24

These pioneer plants gradually set the stage for insects to colonize the area and start providing food for birds and small animals, which, of course, provide food for larger animals. In a relatively short amount of time, the burn scar shows incredible beauty in the details of its reconstructed diversity. This mosaic of new and existing growth supports a wide variety of wildlife species. Deer, elk and moose will feed on new shoots of grass and shrubs. Birds of prey will hunt in the burned areas, particularly along the edge with unburned areas where they nest.

Dead and burned trees, called snags, may look lifeless, but often they are teeming with boring beetles and other insects. Woodpeckers focus on these snag forests to feed on the bugs and peck out nesting cavities. Other cavity dwellers, such as bluebirds and tree swallows, use these cavities after the woodpeckers move on. Seedeating birds take advantage of the lodgepole pine seeds that have been liberated from the cone. And, all those wildflowers attract

hummingbirds. Here again, change provides opportunity for some species.

As Mother Nature works to recover the landscape, we will witness many successional changes from one year to the next. Fires have been part of the natural scheme of things for eons, and in our corner of the world, they have historically been very common. Trees that survive a fire record the history of the burn. Trees add a new layer of cells each year (a growth ring) that increases the size of the tree. When a tree is scorched during a fire, the burn scar is eventually encircled in the next growth ring leaving a record of the fire history.

Plants that have adapted over time to fire are important players in nature’s recovery from disturbance as it progresses to a resting state again.

Nature’s ability to recover from disturbance is amazing, isn't it? Aristotle put it simply, “In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.” Looking at the different shapes,

sizes and, in some cases, the unique structures of leaves on the deciduous plants alone is impressive. It is like taking a walk through a local art gallery and viewing the latest display of various artists' work. And although it appears to us that nature is resting, change is still happening.

There is some amazing photosynthetic work going on, and as a researcher trained in the scientific method, I acknowledge all of the evolution and microscopic cellular activity, but I prefer to just enjoy the marvelous, awe-inspiring magic of it all.

Sprint Interval Training SIT to Get Fit • By Matt Thompson

HAVE YOU EVER STARTED an exercise program that focuses on your cardiovascular fitness, such as a running or walking plan, only to find that every workout feels long and arduous, causing you to lose motivation and end up quitting? What if there was a way to get all those benefits of running with only one-fifth the time commitment; would you be interested? I know it might sound too good to be true, but let me introduce you to sprint interval training.

Before we learn more about SIT, let’s go over a few of the reasons why a healthy cardiovascular system is important. Many people begin

exercise programs to lose weight, and that is something cardiovascular exercise has been proven to do, even better than strength training alone.

With little-to-no change in diet, endurance exercise can decrease your body-fat percentage. More than just looking better, improvements to cardiovascular health make you feel better. They decrease your risk for metabolic and cardiovascular diseases and lower your chance for early death. Beyond increasing your body’s health, it is also great for your mind. Studies have shown it can improve mood, decrease stress, improve quality of sleep and reduce your risk for dementia and other cognitive diseases.

H E A LT H Y T I P

Go Nuts When craving something, grab a handful of nuts.

Almonds, walnuts, pecans, and other tree nuts deliver a powerful punch of heart-healthy fats, protein and fiber. Including them in your diet can help lower your risk of cardiovascular disease.

However, you need to exercise five to six days a week for more than 30 minutes each session to obtain most of these benefits. This adds up to two to three hours of exercise per week, which can feel like too much time to take out of our busy work and family schedules. But, you can get those same benefits with just 10 minutes of exercise per day, with a total time commitment less than one hour a week, with SIT.

SIT is normally defined as four to six rounds of “all-out” exercise for 30 seconds or less followed by a rest period that is at least five times longer than the duration of the exercise, usually about three to four minutes. This protocol might sound familiar to another form of exercise that has gained popularity in the media known as highintensity interval training, also known as HIIT. In fact, SIT is considered a sub-set of HIIT workouts, but it takes even less time, and some people adhere to the program better because of the shorter length of the work intervals. HIIT can be overly demanding because they don’t allow your body to recover between exercises, which doesn’t allow you to go all-out with every rep.

The reason why so little time can be committed to exercise for a similar level of cardiovascular benefits is because there is a “dose-dependent” relationship to exercise.

This means that your body makes greater adaptations the harder you work. An hour of 50-percent effort will produce similar results to a 100-percent effort for as little as two minutes. Much of the research about SIT discusses that high-intensity training is one

BonnersFerryLivingLocal.com

28

of the best stimulators for health changes, most importantly the metabolic profile of your muscles.

This isn’t to discount the importance of traditional endurance exercise. It still gives you important health benefits, can increase your work capacity and create permanent changes that improve your muscle health.

In addition, if your goal is to run a distance race, like a half marathon, you should still focus on traditional endurance exercise. The goal of this article is to show that SIT can be a time-effective alternative to endurance exercise for those only focused on the health benefits of aerobic exercise.

Now that you are interested, how do you go about performing a sprint-interval workout?

1. Find a class with an instructor who knows how to give you the proper level of intensity.

2. Go to the track, do a dynamic warm up for about 10 to 20 minutes, sprint the length of the track as hard as you can, then walk the remainder of the track until you get back to where you started the sprint. Repeat four to six times.

3. Find a hill you can run up, run as hard as possible for 30 seconds, walk back down and don’t start again for at least three minutes.

Repeat four to six times.

CAMPING IN STYLE OR LIVING IN THE LAP OF LUXURY • BY PATTY HUTCHENS WHETHER YOU WANT TO ROUGH IT, ROUGH IT IN STYLE OR STAY IN STYLE AND LUXURY, THERE ARE MANY OPTIONS FOR ANY BUDGET AND TASTE. A SIMPLE SEARCH WILL BRING UP A VARIETY OF OPTIONS, BUT HOW WILL YOU KNOW WHICH ONE’S THE RIGHT ONE FOR YOU? WE’VE PICKED OUT A FEW OPTIONS ON THE FOLLOWING PAGES TO HELP YOU NARROW IT DOWN SO YOUR SUMMER CAN BE SPENT YOUR WAY!

Camping There is nothing better than being in the outdoors, especially when you live in the Northwest! Whether you choose to “rough it” in a tent or prefer to take a camper, there are plenty of campgrounds that provide a beautiful outdoor experience. Before choosing your campsite, decide what amenities are important to you. Are you looking for a place that has minimal resources, or do you prefer a campground that provides easy access to showers and restrooms? Also, make sure you reserve your spot ahead of time. If you are bringing multiple tents or a tent and an RV, be sure you reserve enough space.

Hotel It’s the traditional way, but it is always fun! With so many booking websites to choose from, even the most luxurious hotels can be affordable! With the increase in options when it comes to lodging, hotels are offering more deals. If you are not tied to a specific date, research the rates throughout the week as they vary greatly depending on numerous factors. If you are traveling with kids, many hotels offer breakfast included in the room rate. If you do a lot of traveling, you will want to consider different reward programs that allow you to accumulate free nights.

VRBO Renting a condo or a house can be a lot of fun and provide all the comforts of home. There are several options available in communities that also have a pool where you can relax and enjoy some sunshine while the kids burn off some energy. If you are traveling with other families or plan to go with a group of friends, this option can be very affordable. In addition, you can save money by purchasing groceries and eating in.

Some of the condos and homes for rent around the Gorge Amphitheater in Central Washington are a pickup spot for transportation to and from the venue.

Depending upon the size of both you and your vehicle, this is an option many on a tight budget choose. Be aware, however, that safety is a key issue. Choose a place that is a bit out of the way, but not so isolated that it is unsafe. Also, make sure to minimize the time you spend in your vehicle.

While old station wagons with fold down seats were perfect for creating a “bed,� newer cars do not have the ability to recline as much as older cars did. If your car has rear seats that fold down and provide trunk access, this can provide a larger space in which to stretch out. Enjoy the adventure!

On Location For many, once they reach their destination, they want to give up the car keys and just stay put. Places like the Gorge Amphitheater in Central Washington offer an on-site campground that allows people to come and enjoy the music, whether it is a night or a weekend festival, without ever having to leave. For large events such as Bumpershoot in Seattle, there are several nearby hotels that are just blocks away from the action, which enhances the festival feeling.

Traveling the World A 10-year “road” trip leads to Coeur d’Alene

By Colin Anderson Photos by Adam Schluter, Lightcast Photography TheLightcastProject.com

SIGNING A LEASE is a new experience for Adam Schluter. The now 30-year-old left his home in St. Louis, Missouri, more than 10 years ago in search of a new place to call home but ended up on a trip that took him around the world, across the country, and landed him in North Idaho.

In August 2016, Schluter made a decision that would halt his travel plans for a while; he signed a rental agreement and now calls Coeur d’Alene home. With no career path in mind when he first left Missouri, Schluter discovered a new-found passion while traveling new and beautiful lands; photography.

“I’m really close to my family, so I would go home about every four months and see them,” says Schluter. After a few-days visit, it was back on the road again and off to somewhere else he’d never been before.

“I wanted to share my experiences and the beauty of the places I was in,” he says. “I photographed for probably five or six years on the journey before I ever thought about making it my profession.”

Schluter developed his love of travel at a young age when his parents took him from Missouri to California for the first time. “As soon as we got there I told myself I would be back again,” he recalls. Subsequent trips to different parts of the U.S. and Central and South America only expanded his love for discovering new places.

Everywhere he went he would snap photos of what he saw. On his 18th birthday, Schluter’s parents gave him a more advanced point-andshoot camera, which was unknowingly the start of a career path.

Now, a decade after departing on this incredible journey, Schluter is staying put for the longest he’s been in one place; a whopping seven months so far in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. How he ended up settling on a small town in Northern Idaho was almost an accident. “I wanted to take the entire Pacific Coast Highway, which

starts in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and ends in Alaska,” he says. “By the time I hit Seattle, I decided I didn’t want to experience winter, and I met a few people who told me I should check out Glacier National Park, so I changed directions and headed east on Interstate 90.”

Schluter stopped in Coeur d’Alene to fill up with gas; he didn’t think much of the town, as he was right off the freeway, which is home to the national chain stores and fast-food restaurants. He then continued on to Kellogg.

Once there, he met several locals who talked him into exploring more of North Idaho, so he decided to alter his plans and stay a while.

“I headed north toward Ponderay and was absolutely blown away by the scenery,” recalls Schluter. One of the biggest points of emphasis on his trip was to “rough it;” passing up hotels for a tent and stay at a free campsite or in designated forest land. Utilizing the website FreeCampsites.net, Schluter was able to map out places to stay all across the country, including Bonner County, Idaho. While camped out, he met a couple from Coeur d’Alene. The three became friends, and the couple eventually invited Schluter into their home to stay with them so he could explore the outdoor places that they loved so much.

Honing his skills on the road, Schluter met up with art galleries all across the country that displayed his prints in their gallery collections.

Today, Schluter owns Lifecast Photography, giving him the opportunity to share images from his travels and North Idaho. He also books appointments for portraits, commercial and weddings, though his passion will always remain in landscape photography.

“Everything just fell into place here,” Schluter says. “I love the scenery and beauty and not having to go far to find it.”

While many in smaller towns across the U.S. dream of heading off to New York, Seattle, LA or San Francisco, Schluter decided to do the opposite.

Having lived a big part of his life with one foot out the door, he is now focused on building lasting relationships in his new community. “When you’re moving all of the time it can become isolating, and the lifestyle turned me into more of an introvert. Now I’m dedicated to making lasting relationships with people here, and honestly it’s a little out of my comfort zone, but I’m working on it.”

While road tripping across Mexico to his favorite destination, Bahia de los Angeles—an ocean community of roughly 500 you come across after traveling two hours across a desert with nothing around you—Schluter met up with a man in his 70s who had been traveling alone for more than 50 years. “He told me: ‘You’re going to see so much beauty in the world, and it’s incredible, but at the end of your life, all you will have and what you will cherish most is the people you have in your life.’ And that’s really stuck with me,” says Schluter.

Considering his lack of resources and commitment to free lodging during this journey, Schluter was definitely putting his trust in the advice of strangers. He credits those early trips with his family to foreign countries to being able to trust and understand a wide variety of people. “I have a lot of trust in people when I move places. I trust people until it’s proven otherwise, which probably isn’t how most of the world does it.”

Images from Schluter’s decade-long trip show scenes of splendor and contrast from all across the nation. Peaceful mountain streams, enormous peaks and glacial lakes coincide with crowded cities, desolate farmland and still forests. Photos like these can trigger a range of emotions from people, which is exactly what the photographer is hoping for. You don’t have to be a professional to capture memorable images of your favorite vacation destination, hiking trail, scenic road or city setting. Our phones are overloaded with mundane images of our kids, food, friends and of course ourselves, but how often do you stop what you’re doing in everyday life to capture a truly meaningful moment or image? These are the photos that you’ll want to share with your family and friends for years to come.

COEUR D’ALENE

realized I hate big cities because I was always feeling like I was having a hard time finding genuine friends in those places. When I got to Coeur d’Alene, it was almost instant that the whole community embraced me, took me in and shared with me what they love most about the area.”

Many would find it surprising that a man who has visited the majority of our country would choose to settle in a small lakeside community in North Idaho. While everyone’s idea of paradise differs, Schluter truly believes he’s found his.

“Everyone has a different story here. I want to live here. I want to keep making friends here, and it’s awesome that I can take so many short trips to such beautiful places.”

CALENDAR OF EVENTS REWARDING EXCELLENCE

Distinguished Young Women takes place April 29

By Patty Hutchens. Photo by Picturesque Photography by Sara.

FOR NEARLY SIX DECADES the Distinguished Young Women program has inspired young females at the high school level to develop their full potential, and the program has had a significant impact on young women right here in Bonners Ferry.

Founded in 1958 in Mobile, Alabama, Distinguished Young Women is the largest and oldest national scholarship program for high school girls. During its 59 years of operation, the program has provided life-changing experiences for more than 745,000 young women.

Last year, Distinguished Young Women provided more than $1.1 billion in cash and college HIGHLIGHT EVENT scholarship opportunities to program participants at the local, state and national level.

Previously known as America’s Junior Miss, the program announced its new name in June of 2010.

The mission of Distinguished Young Women is to positively impact the lives of young women by providing a transformative experience that promotes and rewards scholarship, leadership and talent. National sponsors include Mobile County, City of Mobile, Wintzell's Oyster House, Alabama Power Foundation, Master Boat Builders, Barbara Barrington Jones Family Foundation, Encore Rehabilitation, Regions Financial Corporation, Alabama Media Group, the State of Alabama Tourism Department and Alabama RC&D Council.

This year’s program will take place Saturday, April 29, at 6:30pm at the Becker Auditorium. The theme for this year is “A Night at the Oscars” and will feature 20 young women from Bonners Ferry. The program, which saw significantly fewer participants over the last few years, is once again gaining momentum in the community.

This year’s participants are: Rayan Naylor, Jennica Branson, Bailey Jenkins, Courteney Facha, Ashlyn Hittle, Victoria Smith, Haley Wenk, Hannah Sims, Alayna Youngwirth, Allie Hough, Kaylee Kramer, Kianna Higgins, Maya Roberts, Katie Onstott, Ada Bonnell, Miranda Wenk, Jaeda Schnuerle, Michaela Worley, Sierra Brown and Ashlynn Rushing.

Tickets for the event are available at Mountain Mike’s Health Food Store. Mark your calendars and plan to see firsthand the amazing young women we have right here in Bonners Ferry!
