Alyssa

My name is Alyssa Koberstien, and I am Like Media’s Marketing and Sales Executive for Bonners Ferry, Idaho! As a Bonners Ferry native, I take pride in being able to serve our local businesses, guiding them with all their print and digital marketing needs.

After graduating from Boise State University, I had the opportunity to return closer to home, choosing Sandpoint as my new home base. Since moving back to North Idaho, I’ve had a lot of time to really get to know my community, meet its people and support our local businesses. Nothing will beat the beauty that North Idaho has to offer, or the kindness of its people.

I joined the Like Media team in October of 2020 as the company’s marketing coordinator, and in June 2021, I was promoted to Bonners Ferry’s marketing and sales executive. At Like Media, we successfully provide a platform and voice for our local companies to reach their target audiences in the most effective way, while saving time and money, and building successful businesses that strengthen communities.

If you’re ready to let your business shine for all to see, let me, and our team at Like Media, lead the way!

Tread Lightly

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT RUG FOR YOUR HOME

By Deann Hammer, Interior Designer

C

arpets are the foundation of our home. With summer in full swing, many of us are shoe-free, and not only do carpets visually impact the appearance of our home, but foot feel and durability is of great importance as well.

Carpets should be taken seriously and purchased for longevity, and many are considered fine art. With the popularity of hardwood over the last decade, area rugs have taken center stage—and are here to stay. Carpets provide an opportunity to add pops of color and create a design theme that is unique to you. If you are interested in decorating your home to the next level, a quality rug is a great first step toward a room transformation.

When selecting wall-to-wall carpet, you want to look at the fiber content.

Nylon or wool is still the best choice. There are many other options, but olefin, and other new-to-market fibers, easily crush and soil, and are not made to last. I personally prefer a cut and loop for wall to wall. Some fibers are looped like a Berber, mixed with cut fibers, giving the carpet a nice visual appeal. I like low pile wall-to-wall carpets in multicolor so that it gives the look of texture and hides foot traffic. The cut fibers in a cut and loop also prevent the carpet from “running.” If a yarn gets loose in a vacuum, it will not pull through the whole run like a Berber will.

16

BONNERS FERRY LIVING LOCAL

Large, patterned carpets are fun in an office, bonus room or master bedroom to add some character to a space. I also like to use patterns on stair runners for interest.

There are staggering differences in the quality of area rugs. One of the largest mistakes people make when purchasing an area rug is that if they have a busy household, they think a less-expensive rug will be a better choice, as it can be tossed when it wears out, or easily cleaned. This is not the case! A high-quality wool rug will be much easier to clean and will save you money in the long run, as it will last for many, many years.

The best quality wool rugs will have longer fibers that will not shed and will maintain their pile height (not flatten with foot traffic). An average cost for a “better” rug will range between $1,500 to $5,000 for an 8x10foot rug. They can top the charts at over $10,000, and if it is vintage, a rug can be $10,000 to $20,000 for estate sized (larger than 8x10 feet).

Retail rugs sold online (like Pottery Barn), that sell for around $800 or less, are typically made with short fibers and shed like crazy—steer clear from those! When purchasing, try to run your fingers across them to see if they shed. Shedding carpets are awful. They make a mess of your home and really bother those with allergies.

Carpets should be taken seriously and purchased for longevity, and many are considered fine art.

I love silk rugs. They are ultra luxurious and can last lifetimes. The colors are more vivid, but they are very expensive. I paid $7,500 for a 4x6-foot rug more than a decade ago. But I love it! It is truly a work of art and looks exactly the same as the day I purchased it.

Consider color. An area rug is a great opportunity to add life to a room. Handmade rugs are the best, as they are not stiff, have natural dyes that are rich and luxurious, and have a nice “flop,” meaning they bend and move and are not stiff. When you run your hand over a high-quality handmade wool rug, it should feel almost like silk.

Machine-made rugs are here to stay as well if your budget does not allow for a real handmade wool or silk rug. These are often made from recycled soda bottles and have a flatter feel to them. The current trend is more muted colors and traditional “burned out” or vintage-looking styles.

An average cost for a polypropylene rug is around $400 to $600 for an 8x10-foot rug. Make sure to buy a premium pad to place beneath your rug as well.

I use a felt pad with a rubber back that stops the carpet from sliding on the floor, while adding that extra cushy feel under foot. These pads cost between $150 to $300 for an 8x10 and will extend the life of your rug, as they allow the carpet to lift up off of the floor and maintain its pile height.

North Idaho business combines signature art with field-tested performance apparel to encourage people to explore and enjoy wild places

That reaction is why we do this.

And, at the skiing and other outdoors sports with the end of the day, it’s an incredible place to grab knowledge and experience gained over more some wine, sit out by the lake, and watch the than 27 years in the apparel business. sun go down.

“When I found Sandpoint, I was blown away with how vibrant and active this community is: All the outdoor sports, as well as the great brewpubs, a winery, the theater, art walks, live music … We’re an artsy, beery, foodie community surrounded by unbeatable outdoor recreation. For me, though, what really made Sandpoint home is the people. Everyone here is invested in making this beautiful community even better. All that positive energy creates an incredible vibe that’s equal to just about any major city you can think of, and with a welcoming, small-town atmosphere you won’t find in big cities.

“When I chose to make my home here, I wanted to be part of that spirit of community investment, so I started a business that reflected my passion for many of the reasons people love living in or visiting this area. In fact, I just got back from four days floating the Coeur d’Alene, fishing and hiking. Whether I’m floating the river, fly fishing, taking the boat out on the lake, or skiing down Schweitzer, I want gear that holds up, that makes the experience even better.”

Doug says, while all Cognito apparel and accessories have been rigorously field tested, what really captures the imagination is the incredible art, images that evoke the delight of exploring and playing outdoors in and around North Idaho. Doug invests a lot of time researching art and artists, looking for authentic scenes and artistic interpretations that convey the challenge, joy and wonder of being immersed in the natural beauty of wild places.

“Those moments, those feelings, is what I hope everyone experiences when they wear Cognito.

BOUNDARY COUNTY FAIR 101 YEARS OF BRINGING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER

S

By Tayor Shillam

THIS YEAR’S FAIR THEME IS BARN IN THE U.S.A., AND THE ENERGY BROUGHT BY THE FAIR’S ARRIVAL IS EXPECTED TO BE FELT ACROSS THE COMMUNITY.

ummers in Bonners Ferry are simply incomplete without the Boundary County Fair. As one of the county’s oldest events, the Boundary County Fair has been enjoyed by generations. In each year since its origin in the early 1900s, the fair has brought a different experience than the last.

This year’s fair theme is Barn in the U.S.A., and the energy brought by the fair’s arrival is expected to be felt across the community. Stoddard advises community members to keep a lookout for the local businesses who will be decorating their windows in support of the fair.

With its countless local vendors, lively parade, and the creativity of the community on display, the Boundary County Fair is a perfect chance for Bonners Ferry to come together to celebrate summertime and everything that makes the town unique.

Made-to-order T-shirts sporting the fair theme are now available at Vinyl Expressions on Main Street. “We hope to make the fair T-shirts an annual tradition,” Stoddard said. All proceeds from the store’s T-shirt sales will benefit the fair.

This year, the Boundary County Fair returns August 11 through 14, running from 8:30am to 9pm each day.

Its Opening Ceremonies will be held on Wednesday, August 11, at 6:30pm. Family Fun Night is set to follow the next evening at 6:30pm.

Highlights of this year’s fair include the Boundary County Fair Parade, set for Saturday the 14th at noon, with plenty of local entertainment lined up through the entire day. Cecil Lewis will bring his Magic & Comedy show to the fair each day, and this year’s musical entertainment will include local country-focused favorites the Christy Lee band and the Devon Wade Band. Music will begin at 5pm Saturday evening.

An entire schedule of events is lined up for 2021, with pre-events that began in July including preliminary 4-H practice, showing and judging. Then starting on August 11, a bit of everything can be found at the fair throughout its long days of operation, including live entertainment, pet shows, paper airplane contests, and a motorcycle show.

“There are games and contests throughout, vendors to visit, fair food to eat, and animals to see—and that’s only scratching the surface,” shared Fair Administrator Jodi Stoddard.

20

BONNERS FERRY LIVING LOCAL

Even with its long list of scheduled entertainment and family fun, the Boundary County Fair remains a labor of love.

“The Boundary County Fair is still free,” Stoddard emphasized. “Free entrance. Free parking. Many businesses donate time, equipment, money and other resources to the fair every year.”

Stoddard encourages any locals who are interested in becoming more involved in the community to do so by volunteering at the fair. “If you are new to the community and you want to get to meet some fantastic folks, come volunteer at the fair,” she said. A “small village” of hundreds of volunteers work to help the fair run smoothly every year. “Volunteers are literally our life blood.”

Local families can lean into anticipation and begin the festivities early by picking up a Fair Book or coloring pages. Filled with long lists of the fair’s daily entertainment and event schedule, the Fair Book is available in both the Fair Office and the Extension Office.

This year, the fair will host coloring contests, with extra coloring pages available at the Fair Office. The coloring contests are to encourage local kids to stay active and creative throughout the summer as they anticipate the fair’s arrival.

While the annual fair is a highlighted event, a lesser-known fact is that the fairground facilities are available for rent throughout the year. The fairgrounds' team encourages community members who are planning events, summer camps, family reunions, craft shows, fundraisers, and more, to check out the Boundary County Fairgrounds to host their party.

Saturday, August 21st

The Boundary County Fairgrounds are located in downtown Bonners Ferry on the south side of the Kootenai River. The fairgrounds are surrounded by plenty of parking and contain additional features to make visits enjoyable for the whole family, including a fire pit, picnic tables and a playground.

What is likely the fair’s most remarkable quality is the unique way it unites the people of Bonner’s Ferry. “The Fair has a way of pulling the community together,” Stoddard said.

She shares just one more phrase to the community before the event begins: “See you at the fair!”

More information on fair events, facility rentals and event participation can be found on the county website at BoundaryCountyID.org, or on their Facebook page at Boundary County Fair.

The locally operated nonprofit collects and disperses funds, goods and services to meet the ongoing needs of Boundary Community Hospital and Extended Care Facility. This can be anything from funding various programs at the hospital, to the purchase of state-of-the-art medical equipment, or financing remodels, expansion and other construction projects. The organization has raised well over $1 million over the past two decades, and a large portion of that comes from its two primary fundraisers throughout the year.

After the event was canceled last year, organizers are hoping for a great turnout in 2021 and are working to ensure that there will be plenty of fun to be had at the annual Fry Healthcare Foundation Golf Tournament. Mirror Lake will again play host to this tournament, which is welcome to players of all skill levels. The 12th annual event will take place on Friday,

SCHOOL YEAR APPROACHES

Teachers, students, parents anxious for ‘normal’ year

by Colin Anderson

A

s life continues to return to normal, local school kids are hoping the same will hold true for the upcoming school year. While teachers all across the country did their best to keep their students not just on track academically, but socially, it is simply not possible to replicate the in-person school experience from afar. While some students did well with the responsibility of remote learning, others struggled to stay on task.

Parents, especially those with young children, are also eager to see a return to a more normal school year. Balancing work, often from home, with staying up to date on their child’s learning and finding time to take care of the other important aspects and daily tasks of life, was overwhelming at times. The school day provides a sense of routine in which both students and their parents can appreciate, and was something that might have been taken for granted previously.

As we prepare for the 2021-2022 school year, we take a moment to reflect and say thank you to the educators and administrators who worked tirelessly to adapt to ever-changing direction and protocol from local, state and federal officials. We heard from numerous teachers about their students’ resilience in the face of such adversity, and how they are coming out of the experience not just as adaptable learners but more compassionate toward each other, and more confident having undergone such a chaotic school year.

Very soon the sound of whistles blowing, helmets smacking and soccer balls being struck will again fill the after-school air as high school sports return. The ring of the bell and the ensuing commotion as younger children scramble outside of school, looking for their bus ride home or their parent’s minivan, there to meet them at the end of a full day.

Even the sound of music, as bands and choirs reassemble in preparation of filling their school auditoriums with beautiful music in front of a packed house.

As much of life has returned to pre-pandemic normal, school districts are still subject to more restrictions than most settings. Administrators are finalizing plans as they make final preparations to welcome students back full time, and if there was ever a year to keep up to date on the latest information, it is this one. Immunization, class size, cleaning procedures, masking and social distancing vary greatly from district to district, and even from elementary to high school. Visit your district’s website frequently so both you and your child are best prepared for what is to come this school year.

As summer closes, kids can look forward to being in a classroom, instead of in front of a screen. High fives and hugs can replace fist bumps and air slaps, and an upcoming school year that will hopefully resemble something we can call normal.

calming environments to ingesting the edible oils for a high concentration of nutrients. Young Living essential oils are grown and produced locally, with farm events that connect buyers and members directly to the product. The first of such farms was established by Gary and Mary Young themselves in 1992 in St. Maries, Idaho. They began with growing lavender; two years later, Young Living Essential Oils was established.

Highland Flats in Naples, Idaho, is another such farm. They produce the Idaho Balsam Fir, Idaho Blue Spruce and the White Fir for oil distillation. Every year, Young Living hosts the Winter Harvest and Spring Restoration events to allow members to experience the Seed to Seal process firsthand—and to connect the farm directly to its community. Highland Flats has a long 20-year history of giving back to the community economically, but the farm also gives back to the Earth through sustainable farming practices. They do not take from the land, they give back to it.

our soil, air and water,” shares Michael Carter, farm manager at Highland Flats.

The land itself was bought before the destruction of a grove of “Christmas” trees could be completed: They had grown too tall.

“In 1998, Gary was exploring for potential botanicals when he found a field of Grand Fir trees being bulldozed and prepared for burning. He made an agreement with the farm's owner to take all the overgrown trees instead of paying to have them cleared," says Michael.

Those trees were bought and, years later, harvested for oil. This sparked the beginning of a longtime relationship between Young Living and the land. Land that today is known as Highland Flats Tree Farm.

For years, trees scheduled for harvest had to be transported to the Saint Maries distillery.

This was over a three-hour drive, and was necessary regardless of inclement weather. In 2013, a distillery was constructed in Naples and has been in year-round production since the beginning of 2014.

Their distillery process is unique to this area in its purity, transparency and accountability. The distillery process begins and ends with an attention to nature and sustainable farming practices; The soil is studied in their onsite laboratory for healthy nutrients and bacteria. Live soil, versus empty sanitized soil, is what makes their trees so full of its natural invigorating health properties. Young Living Highland Flats Tree Farm works with nature to do what it does best: heal. For the next part of the distillation process, the branches and leaves are collected. The organic matter is then put in large sealed stainless-steel vats. These vats are then filled with steam. In turn, the steam becomes infused with the oil. The steam travels through stainless steel tubing into a glass canister. Through the natural process of cooling, the steam turns into water and sits in the bottom of the glass. The cooled oil filters to the surface. The oil is then collected and brought to the laboratory, where it is tested and refined for purity.

“The farm at Highland Flats has a long history of providing exemplary products to the community,” says Michael. That history is felt here in Northern Idaho. Highland Flats farm is a place of life and purity. Local wildlife aids in the growth of healthy trees, and its farmers work in tandem with those efforts. Young Living believes light and life to be an important part of how they do business, and the farm in Highland Flats is no exception.

From seed to tree, from tree to oil, and from oil to people, Highland Flats illustrates what Young Living is for the community: a place of rest and respite; a lifestyle of health that permeates all its parts.

“The Highland Flats Farm fully employs 13 people in addition to seasonal workers in the summer,” states Michael. “We have a complete logging operation with economic impacts to many local businesses from auto parts to catering and nurseries. An average year will bring a few hundred international customers to stay and experience North Idaho while visiting our farm.”

Their logging operations bring significant value to local landowners and forest health, while minimizing waste and sharing unique Idaho forest products around the world, he adds.

Highland Flats Tree Farm and St. Maries Lavender Farm are not the only Young Living farms in existence. The company hosts unique sustainable farms around the world, including in places such as France, Ecuador, Oman and Croatia. The farm in Oman is especially unique in that it is the only company in the world that has received permission to distill the Sacred Frankincense oil for the Western world. Young Living doesn’t ask that you trust them simply because of the width of their brand or the size of their company. They earn that trust with farms that are held accountable by its people and local communities. Farms that you can experience firsthand and hear personal testimony as to its accuracy. Young Living is truly a company that feeds both its community and its land. In this way they set themselves up as an unarguable benefit. Transparency is a rare commodity these days, and Young Living is new in its unembarrassed approach toward business.

With high-quality products and testimonials that follow their progress, what’s there to hide?

If you’re interested in trying out the oils for yourself, Young Living oils can be bought online at YoungLiving.com or from a brand partner (members receive a discount).

From seed to tree, from tree to oil, and from oil to people, Highland Flats illustrates what Young Living is for the community: a place of rest and respite; a lifestyle of health that permeates all its parts.

Community Heart A place to gather, grow and be fed

By Joshua Nishimoto

A

cacophony of conversation swirls about the room as I walk through the front door. The smell of fresh bread wafts through the air as I move about the bakery. People are talking in normal tones, with patrons at the front of the line speaking slightly louder to order a sandwich, a delectable scone, or donut and a preferred beverage, where a quiet bustling occurs above the chatter of happy people sharing themselves over a meal.

From the back of the ordering line to the back of a large kitchen, employees in The Bread Basket bakery happily buzz about in their environment. Everyone is calm, moving in quick, decisive rhythm, without worry or any appearance of being rushed.

With wood paneling, tables and chairs, The Gathering Place feels rustic and clean, offering patrons a comfortable atmosphere, leaving me time to ruminate. I could see how one could spend a considerable amount of time working on a novel, reading a book, pondering over life's mysteries, or how one could simply take a seat, eat a meal and work out their problems.

Walking from room to room, I wandered into Sharon’s Country store, where I found: books, toys, games, textiles, cheese, fruit, meats, candy, ice cream and many other grocery items. One may also find cooking supplies and baking utensils in the back.

From specialty syrup and pancake mixes to rainbow of options for colored gelatin; it’s a baker’s dream. Everything at The Gathering Place appears intentional. The open flowing rooms give the impression that a great deal of thought and detail has gone into the layout and selection of each item offered.

Walking through the garage-sized front storefront, I’m punched in the face with the aroma of coffee beans and fresh fruit. As most caffeinated cultist coffee drinking snobs, I’m used to the smell of coffee at coffee shops, but somehow the combination of coffee and fresh fruit is intoxicating. I must admit that the coffee shop lured me in first. Once I have my Americano in hand, I fold into a large leather chair; it’s game over. I’ll be sitting here for a while. But alas … I must move on.

As I walk from store to store, I can’t help but think about The Gathering Place as a special place. I wish I could tell you that the many varieties of confectionary delights, including but not limited to vegan power bars, vegan candy, coffee and specialty dark chocolate make The Gathering Place special. It could be the fresh produce, the vintage piano in the coffee shop, or the kids’ sturdy wooden playground and babbling brook between the buildings, or the fact that around every corner there’s a comfy couch or rocking chair begging to be sat on for a while, but these are not special solely to The Gathering Place.

After talking with the owner, I realized that The Gathering Place is a success because of the people. They are the community, serving the community. They are just as happy as their customers to be here, and it shows in both their work ethic and dedication to service.

The owners and operators of The Gathering Place, Norv and Sharon Skrivseth, could not stop going on and on about how thankful they are. If The Gathering Place is their love song to the community that has embraced them, consider this article their love note.

ANSWERING THE CALL TO SAVE

OUR WATERWAYS SMALL ACTIONS EFFECT CHANGE IN OUR GREATER WORLD

BY RACHEL KELLY

T

here are some things that we can’t do alone. There are some things that we were made to face together, as a community, as a state, or as a people. Things like raising our families, or building safe neighborhoods, we face together.

There are some problems that require a whole world to come together to ensure success. Large problems usually involve a lot of people, and it takes a lot of people to solve them. Problems like global pollution and global warming are big problems.

Problems that we can’t solve on our own. But together, united by our common humanity, we can.

Here in North Idaho, we may not be able to see the ocean, but we can most certainly appreciate it, its beauty and purpose. Many of us make the time to travel west to take in the salty ocean air and sandy beaches while being reminded of how expansive, and important, our oceans are.

“It’s important to think about the way we live and its impact on the planet,” says Tara Galuska of the Washington Fish and Wildlife. And there are many such impacts. We can see those impacts on the beaches and especially in our waterways. We can see the impacts we have on rivers through the salmon and the residents they support, such as bears. Another such resident is the Southern Orca, resident of the Puget Sound and Canada, which survives off of Chinook salmon. Salmon, in turn, survives off of krill. Krill survives off phytoplankton. There is currently estimated to be only 75 Southern Orca left in the whole swath of salt water that exists from the Washington Sound up to the Strait of San Juan de Fuca. Their low numbers, coupled with their dependence on the health of the local waters, makes them an endangered species.

34

BONNERS FERRY LIVING LOCAL

The declining numbers of Southern Orca illustrates the circular pattern of the effects of our actions on the world, beginning with the global rise in temperatures. Scientists believe this is due to an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide. There is still a lot of research being done on exactly why this is happening, but it is apparent that our world is changing. This change is affecting our local residents, animals and humans alike. According to the Southern Resident Orca Task Force, the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has stayed below 300 parts per million prior to 1950. Since then, our carbon dioxide has increased to 405 parts per million. This has caused a one-degree Celsius increase in global temperatures since pre-industrial levels, suggesting that industrialization and pollution plays a part in the health of our Earth.

Twenty-five percent of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is absorbed by the ocean, causing an increase in ocean acidification. Algae, often seen in freshwater ponds, lakes and basins across Washington and Idaho, grows plentiful in order to consume the carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. The ocean’s acidification makes an inhospitable environment to most species aside from algae, which adapts to grow in the ocean. Like a fail safe for an imbalance in the atmosphere, algae grow wild, fed by an overproduction of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is often present due to various levels of pollution, from untreated sewage to various inhospitable factories. Unfortunately, large amounts of algae are toxic to all fresh and saltwater species.

The one-degree Celsius rise in global temperatures also affects our streams and lakes, as snow melt decreases every year. The re-circulated warm water makes for warmer winter lakes and

BONNERS FERRY LIVING LOCAL

35

rivers, and dryer summer river beds. Occasionally, a rise in warm winter waters causes an overabundance of rain versus snow, increasing sediment flow and mudslides.

The increased rain also runs into our drains, occasionally overwhelming our water treatment plants. Which means that sewage dumps into our ocean. More algae grows.

According to scientifically backed collected data of Washington Fish and Wildlife, major effects from climate change will be seen as soon as 2030. If conditions continue as they have been, 2030 through 2052 will see a 1.5-degree Celsius increase, which will result in the following conditions: a 67 percent increase in days over 90 degrees, 38 percent decrease in snowpack, 16 percent increase in winter streamflow, and a 23 percent decrease in summer streamflow. To lower these temperatures, and to decrease their overall effects, we must cut our carbon emissions by 45 percent by 2030.

Our changing rivers affect salmon, who spawn in rivers in the spring. They lay their eggs in the gravel, from which alevins emerge one to three months after spawning. Fry then grow from alevins, then develop into smolt. Smolt then migrate to the ocean, where they grow into adults and live for up to four years. All the combined effects of pollution and carbon dioxide disturb the breeding grounds of our salmon at all their various developmental levels. Increased flooding impacts the salmon eggs and alevins. Reduced spring flows affect the fry and smolt.

The increased algae in our oceans kill the zooplankton on which the herring and other fish feed, in turn on which the salmon feed. Salmon is considered a keystone species, meaning that they are essential for the survival of a variety of wildlife. As their rate of survival drops, the underlying food web becomes unstable. This is why the Orca are showing up less and less in Pacific Northwest waters, and why the health of our fresh water suffers.

When salmon suffer, we all suffer. And so, our actions come full circle.

Our seemingly small actions that we, as a people, do on the daily affect the greater world. Trash from our picnics on the beach, the chemicals that we use in our cleaners, the medications that we dispose of, waste

water, improper drainage and everyday food waste all play a part in pollution. Individually, our actions are small. But together, they have a big impact. Everything eventually ends up in our waterways, and in turn runs into the oceans. Our Earth is a complicated web of interconnected pieces, of which we are also a part of.

“What we do as an individual and as a society to reduce global warming and to improve water quality for these majestic creatures also supports a better ecosystem for humans,” says Tara. Which means that any movement toward change is a win-win.

The Orca are especially sensitive to any environmental changes, as are all endangered species, which is why their numbers have been in steady decline in our waterways. Individuals on land and water play a large part in our Earth’s health, but so do large companies whose ships produce a lot of emissions. Noting the sensitivity that Orca and other wildlife have toward our actions in the water, TOTE Maritime Alaska is one company that has decided to do something about it.

Alaskan fishermen have long begun their spring season in the southern part of Washington’s Puget Sound, and still leave every year to fish for the summer season. As the polar ice melts, and less and less re-freezes every winter, fishermen and shipping companies are able to go further and further north. Many ships and fishermen are advised to be whale wise as they expand their reach into the northern waters. Ships are advised to keep their distance from whales, and to steer away from fishing in their feeding waters. There are even flags that local ships hoist to alert other ships and boats as to the presence of whales. In 2010, the coastal waters of North America were deemed emission control areas. Most companies simply adhere to the bare minimum, adhering to the emission controls and occasionally following Whale Wise protocol.

TOTE Maritime Alaska is one such company that moves up and down the northern seas. The leader in the industry in environmental practices, they chose to respond to the emission controls in a way that went above the bar for the safety of our coastal species. TOTE Maritime Alaska invested in liquified natural gas.

In partnership with Puget Sound Energy, which is known for their groundbreaking and accessible environmental activism, TOTE Maritime Alaska outfitted its Orca class vessels to run on liquified natural gas. Liquified natural gas decreases particulate matter by 99 percent, vessel sulfur emissions by 98 percent, and nitrogen oxides by 91 percent. These numbers are groundbreaking.

Through decreasing the waste that ships normally dump into the waters, TOTE Maritime Alaska has made some of the most environmentally friendly ships in the world, showing the world once again just how unique the Pacific Northwest is.

It is actions such as these that greatly affect our waters and the sensitive wildlife that live in it. Large companies, such as shipping and fishing companies, play a direct part in keeping our waterways clean by the ways that they choose to conduct business. TOTE Maritime Alaska is especially inspirational in their refusal to go along with the status quo, and the hope is that other companies will 38

follow suit. In the face of such incredible effort, we must do the same. We must allow ourselves the flexibility of positive change. Maybe not all at once, but perhaps little by little. Even the smallest steps can have a big impact. Especially when they inspire others to make steps as well.

Little by little, greater change happens. There’s no better example of what a community can do when it comes together than what we see here, in the Pacific Northwest.

We can and do reduce the waste that goes in our waterways, by participating in the reduction of litter or washing our cars in professional car washes (that have proper disposal techniques).

We can also conserve the water that we use, treating it as the precious resource that it is. We can reduce our carbon footprint by reducing our car use, from riding bikes to riding public transport.

Botox® T H E M I RAC L E T R E AT M E N T FO R W R I N K L E S

By Bri Williams, RN, BSN, Refined Aesthetics Med Spa, pllc

A

ccording to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, over 2 million Botox® treatments were carried out in 2019, and that number has continued to rise. Considered the most common cosmetic intervention, and with good reason, this miracle treatment can take years off your appearance and prevent the signs of aging in a quick (we’re talking five-minute) appointment. With FDA approval to treat moderate to severe wrinkles in the frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines, and a 92 percent “worth it” rating from consumers, this treatment may be just what you are looking for to age gracefully and look as young as you feel. Below we break down your most common questions.

What is Botox®?

Botox® is a safe, purified, FDA-approved protein that relaxes and softens the muscles responsible for causing frown lines, creases between the brows, around the eyes (crow’s feet), and worry lines in the forehead. Years of muscle use in our faces—from smiling, squinting, stressing—create what begin as fine lines, and deepen over time. Botox® can heal that dermal cracking or can be used preventatively to help deter their deepening.

How much does Botox® cost?

Botox® pricing varies from clinic and region, and your total price depends on what areas you are treating and the number of units each individual needs. To treat the area in between the eyebrows (a.k.a. frown lines) is typically $240 to $300; the forehead is typically $150 to $180; and crow’s feet are typically $300 to $450. It is best to schedule a consultation with your aesthetic provider to determine the appropriate dosing and cost for your individualized treatment.

How long does Botox® last?

You can expect to notice a more youthful, relaxed appearance within two to 14 days, and results last three to four months. Some clients find that with consistent treatments they get longer-lasting results.

How long will my appointment take?

Botox® appointments are quick and easy. Your initial appointment will take approximately 30 minutes to review medical forms, discuss your goals with

subside in 15 minutes. Bruising is a possibility.

Patients are asked to avoid vigorous exercise and facial massage for 24 hours after treatment.

Does Botox® hurt?

When should I start Botox®?

Most patients describe Botox as painless. A very tiny needle is used to inject Botox® in strategic muscles on the face, and techniques are used to make the treatment comfortable. If you are concerned about pain or discomfort, talk to your provider prior to treatment to discuss pain relieving modalities such as topical numbing cream and/or ice.

There is not a set age when one should start Botox®. Once you notice static lines (the lines that appear on the face at rest), you can begin to speak to your aesthetic provider about treatment to soften the lines and prevent them from getting worse. When treatment is started early, the static lines can often be reversed.

After they have been present for years, they can be more difficult to diminish.

Is there any downtime or recovery?

Botox® is generally considered a “no social downtime” treatment. Most patients leave their appointment with small pink bumps where Botox was injected, and these generally

Botox® is an excellent treatment option for individuals wanting to prevent or reverse the signs of aging. Talk with your aesthetic provider to see if Botox® is right for you.

Taking Summer Style into Fall TOP FASHION PIECES FOR THE TRANSITION TO A NEW SEASON

By Taylor Shillam

BONNERS FERRY LIVING LOCAL

L

iving in a region with all four of the seasons inspires the need for strategic seasonal shopping. As the heat of the Pacific Northwest summer begins to fade into shorter, cooler days, key transitional pieces will become wardrobe essentials.

Light pieces that carry well into fall’s early days are a great way to extend your summer wardrobe while staying seasonally chic. This month, shop your local boutiques for summery items with staying power. Here, you’ll find shopping inspiration through a selection of items to look for as you shop the Northwest’s seasonal styles.

Sweater vests. One of the season’s easiest ways to add a layer is the sweater vest! You’ll notice sweater vests and sleeveless knits back in style as we come closer to fall. They’re perfect as easy pieces to wear on their own as a sleeveless sweater, or to layer over a crisp white button-down as the temperatures drop.

White button-down shirts. If you don’t have that crisp white button-down in your wardrobe yet, now is the time to add one, as it’s sure to be a staple in the coming months.

Light enough to wear on its own or to layer under a cardigan, jacket, sweater vest or suit jacket, the crisp white shirt is one of the most versatile pieces you’ll pick up this season.

While temperatures stay hot, mix and match the top with your favorite shorts and skirts to stay cool.

Crop tops. Don’t put away your summer crop tops just yet! These hot-weather staples can keep you stylish in the transition to autumn. Keep them to spice up a night out, as they are easily covered under a jacket in the cooler evening temperatures, or keep them peeking through light layers for a fun weekend look. Bonus style points for crop tops in fun fabrics and leathers.

Neutral maxis. Maxi dresses made their comeback this year, and they are here to stay through the autumn. Keep your neutral-toned maxi dresses for the fall—think creamcolored shirt dresses paired with knee-high boots, or military-inspired greens with ankle boots. Maxi dresses are an easy way to add a feminine touch to your autumn days.

Jumpsuits. Similar to the maxi dresses, jumpsuits are an easy way to quickly pull together a chic outfit. An excellent combination of fashionable and functional, jumpsuits carry well into fall festivities. From satin jumpsuits to dress up a night out, to military-style jumpsuits making a statement in the daytime, you can easily layer them over a long-sleeve shirt or underneath a wool coat on a cooler day.

White baby tees. That little white tee in your closet might be of bigger value than you realize. Cropped tops have been in style all year, and that doesn’t stop at T-shirts. Keep your fitted white “baby tee” as the ultimate base layer, then build an outfit around it based on your plans. White tees are easily paired with just about everything: this season’s carpenter pants, trousers, destroyed jeans and maxi skirts, with additional warmth brought by cardigans, denim, leather, or suit jackets.

Cropped sweatshirts. Those cropped sweaters you kept around for the late nights coming home from the beach, lingering around a bonfire, or the occasional rainy day, are going to be one of the best pieces to keep around for autumn. Cropped sweatshirts can range from a simple, solid color, to a retro-inspired statement piece. Get creative with your layers, and keep them in stock as a go-to piece this season.

Slouchy jeans. The comfort promised by “boyfriend” jeans and “mom” jeans alike has been deservedly embraced. These flattering, yet flexible, jeans are on the slouchier side, making them easy for the transition not only between seasons, but between day to night and work to weekend.

As they fit well with just about any selection of shoe, they’re easily taken from sandal weather into boot weather.

Floral prints. Flowers will continue to color and brighten our wardrobes well into the upcoming months. Keep your light, summery florals to add a burst of romantic energy to your fall outfits. You’ll see florals stay on boutique shelves in the form of patterned mini dresses, accessories, printed suits and more.

Extra-strappy sandals. Keep your most fun, dramatic sandals in the rotation this month, as they’re poised to become a fall evening essential.

Dressier sandals with far-reaching straps are set to take you into autumn soirees, events and dinner parties.

Where to Shop Inland Northwest shoppers have a wide selection of local boutiques to choose from, all across North Idaho.

Right here in Bonners Ferry, wonderful shopping awaits at The Dressing Room, a modern boutique with vintage charm, carrying women's brand name fashion and accessories.

Under the Sun, Boundary Consignment, Far North Outfitters and Larson’s all provide exceptional shopping experiences as well.

The transition to cooler days doesn’t have to be complicated, especially when it comes to keeping up with seasonal fashion.

With a few key pieces from the best of local boutiques, your move into autumn will be seamless and stylish.

& beautiful NATURAL HOW TO MAINTAIN THAT FRESH-FACED SANS-MAKEUP LOOK

By Jillian Chandler

W

ith the busyness of our everyday lives, and the many activities and adventures we’re enjoying during the warmer months, the last thing we want to worry about is putting on our makeup. How nice would it be to wash your face in the morning, moisturize, put on a little lip gloss and head out the door, ready to embark on your day?

There’s no better time than the present to embrace your natural beauty. Rather than covering up your face with multiple products, spending too much time contouring and enhancing, treat your skin to a health and beauty regimen to keep it glowing and looking great, without the need to cover it up.

With the help of one of our beauty experts, who has years in the aesthetics field, we have compiled some simple ways you can keep your face looking fresh and natural throughout the summer months and as you transition into the fall. It’s simple! Get ready to make your daily facial routine one that is easy and not time invasive. And you’ll be ready to head out the door glowing! Take a read to help bring your skin-care and beauty routine to the next level!

From what you put in your body to what you apply onto it greatly affects your skin, its appearance and glow. And it starts the moment you wake up. After a long night’s rest, it is important to cleanse your face in order to remove excess oil and create a clean canvas for what you put on your skin. Be sure to pat dry with a clean, dry towel.

Now that you’re fresh faced, the most important must-have product to apply is sunscreen. You can eliminate makeup—the concealer, foundation and other products—by choosing and applying a tinted sunscreen. “This provides light coverage for a flawless and effortless look,” shares Bri Williams, RN, BSN at Refined Aesthetics Med Spa in Sandpoint, Idaho.

“You can use all the best products in a 10-step skin-care regimen, but if you aren’t protecting your skin, it is all for nothing,” she shares. “The number one thing you can do for your skin is wear sunscreen. UV exposure is the number one cause of premature aging and leads to skin cancer. It is imperative that you protect your skin by applying SPF daily and reapply throughout the day.”

She recommends finding a sunscreen that does double duty; one that not only protects your skin from UV damage but also packs in antioxidants to repair and rejuvenate the skin. “My favorite is Total Defense and Repair by SkinMedica, and it is available in tinted and non-tinted.”

Apply a light coat of waterproof mascara, and a nude—or colored—lip gloss, and you’ll be on your way.

You can touch up your look as needed throughout the day by reapplying sunscreen in one step with a powdered SPF. Bri recommends Sunforgettable Broad Spectrum SPF 30 by ColorScience.

At the end of the day, no matter how exhausted you might be, it is important that you wash your face before bed. Doing this removes pollutants and dirt, and of course any products you applied throughout the day.

“Your skin cells turnover during the night to regenerate, and this process is impaired if your face is not clean,” shares Bri. She adds that there are a number of beneficial products that can be applied before bed (from antioxidants, moisturizers and growth factors, to retinol, pigment correctors and more), but at the very least be sure to use an antioxidant to protect from the environmental exposures that are heightened in the summer and a moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.

You should schedule two days per week when you plan to exfoliate your skin with a natural scrub. Exfoliating aids in a variety of areas, from minimizing pores and fine lines, to preventing wrinkles, dark spots and blemishes. Also opt to treat yourself once a week or every other week to a natural face mask to maintain your skin’s health.

Other factors that many seem to forget is one’s lifestyle. It is imperative to drink plenty of water to keep your body and skin hydrated.

Getting enough sleep (yes, eight hours is ideal) to allow your body the time to repair and heal itself is also important. Exercise is a must, aiding in releasing toxins of the body as you sweat. Eat foods high in vitamins C, E and beta-carotene, which help to nourish your skin.

When you feel good about yourself, and your body is healthy inside, it tends to manifest outward—especially through the appearance of your face and skin.

Obviously, you will not see results overnight. But, as you continue to care for your skin, following a simple daily routine that works best for you and your lifestyle, you’ll soon find yourself with radiant skin, and you’ll have no reason to want to cover it up.

Let your natural beauty shine, and embrace the face you were born with.

Treat your skin to a health and beauty regimen to keep it glowing and looking great, without the need to cover it up.

I know, I know, sounds expensive, right? No, actually. Buy yourself something cheap, just a simple tee for example. Then have it tailored. Most shirts, no matter the company or expense, are made of pretty much the same materials.

The key is how they fit you. Simple tailor jobs cost $10 to $15, but the results are one of a kind. Your tailored shirts, pants or dresses will automatically become your favorite pieces, simply because they fit perfectly. Not only will you look good, but you’ll feel comfortable. Comfort equates to confidence.

Simple tailoring is the way to go.

You know those crazy thrift stores that are piled high with what some may consider to be junk? Those places are the worst for looking for specific stuff, but the best for finding something stylish. Thrift stores are where all the vintage goodies are. Hidden under grandma’s matching tracksuits and the moo moos are some original Star Wars custom tees, lace-up heeled boots, retro skates and silk kimonos. The key is to keep your mind open. Don’t go in for something specific—go in to discover. Don’t be afraid to jump into the fray. You will come out with a pile of goodies for ten bucks.

Buying in solid colors is a well-kept style secret for the on-the-budget buyer.

Keeping it simple, in colors that amplify your natural positive features, allows for mixing and matching. Favorites in solid colors, or muted styles, allow for a do over with another outfit—no one can even tell that you are wearing it again. Get your flash of color in your accessories, whether it be those impulsebuy red boots or that Etsy jewelry piece. Key accessories dress up that simple black jumper or everyday jeans into a multi-wear fashion-affair.

ENJOY A VIBRANT DOWNTOWN, RIVERWALK AND WORLD-CLASS BEACHES Charming Wilmington, North Carolina

By Marguerite Cleveland

W

ilmington, North Carolina, is less known as a destination than its more famous Southern neighbors Charleston, South Carolina, and Savannah, Georgia, and that is its charm. You won’t find the hordes of tourists; only those in the know about this vibrant city on the banks of the Cape Fear River. Just a short drive from downtown Wilmington you will find some great beaches each with its own unique vibe.

Where to Stay Downtown has a variety of places to stay, but you can’t beat the Front Street Inn for its location. It is just a short walk to the shops, restaurants and lively nightlife that abounds downtown. This cute Inn has onsite parking—a plus when downtown. There are a variety of rooms, and some are on the smaller size, but there are public spaces you can utilize. This is an historic hotel, so you won’t have all the amenities of a large chain hotel, but its charm and location more than make up for it. Breakfast is included in the morning.

Another option is the Hampton Inn Wilmington-University Area/Smith Creek Station, which has a great location that is close to both downtown and the beaches. Rates include breakfast.

YOU WON’T FIND THE HORDES OF TOURISTS; ONLY THOSE IN THE KNOW ABOUT THIS VIBRANT CITY ON THE BANKS OF THE CAPE FEAR RIVER.

Where to Eat Wilmington has an eclectic dining scene, with a bounty of local seafood and area farms providing fresh produce to the city’s restaurants. There is also the Gullah Geechee influence from the Africans who were enslaved in the area. If you are new to Southern dining, make sure to try Pimento Cheese.

This yummy spread is now featured on many menus as a starter and is served with crisp lavash crackers. The local oysters are so good they even have their own trail. Shrimp and Grits are a staple of low-country cuisine, and just about every restaurant you go to has its own recipe.

PinPoint Restaurant is located downtown and is the epitome of farm to table with the freshest bounty from local farmers, fishermen, oystermen and shrimpers. Their names are on the menu. Speaking of menus, it changes every day to reflect what fresh ingredients are available. You will find a catch of the day, chicken, beef and pork dishes, as well as a vegetarian entrée. Each one is prepared utilizing the fresh produce and herbs. On the menu during my visit was hogfish, which must be spear caught. It eats crustaceans, so the meat has a sweet richness to it. Local Carrots was the name of a shareable plate layered with purple carrot hummus, topped with a variety of carrots, herbs and seasoning. It is a unique dish and highlights the types of food the chef makes.

The Pilot House is one of the oldest restaurants in the downtown area and has a huge local following. Located overlooking the Cape Fear River, it is a lovely venue to dine at. The menu is heavy on fresh seafood and traditional Southern dishes, but the chef ’s not afraid to be creative. For example, the Shrimp and Grits include collard greens, and to keep it from becoming a soupy mess, a fried grits cake is the base of this dish. It soaks up the jus from the greens, and with the shrimp and other ingredients is such a unique take on this traditional Southern recipe.

Out on the boardwalk at Carolina Beach, make sure to stop at Britt’s Donuts. It has been a beach staple since 1939. The donuts are simple yeast donuts with a glaze that is not too sweet. They sell so many that your order is hot from the fryer. So yummy! Also in this area is the Fat Pelican, one of the BONNERS FERRY LIVING LOCAL

diviest dive bars in the United States. This place is wild at night, but if you stop in when they first open, you will have the place to yourself. It is known for its huge walk-in cooler. You go in and choose your beverage from canned beers and other alcoholic beverages, and the bartender will ring you up.

What to Do Wilmington, with its surrounding beaches, provides a plethora of things to do. Explore the downtown area and visit the many local shops, restaurants and museums. The newly revitalized Riverwalk is a lovely place to stroll with cute little pocket gardens and views of the Cape Fear River. A one-hour river cruise on the Henrietta is a great way to learn a bit about the history of the area and some fun, local anecdotes. A must stop is Cape Fear Rum Cakes on Front Street. This family owned business is kicking out some seriously good cakes. The rum keeps them moist and helps preserve the cakes in a vacuum seal for six months. There are three sizes available, and the 5-ounce size is enough for one to two people and makes a perfect gift. Nothing on the shelves is older than a day or two because they are selling as fast as they make them.

Plan to spend a full day out at the Fort Fisher area. In the morning, do a beach hike along the Basin Trail with views of the ocean before it gets too hot. Then tour the North Carolina Aquariums with its state-ofthe-art exhibits. The otters are always popular, as well as the sharks in the big tank. Don’t miss the outside trails with some beautiful artwork.

For lunch, either pack a picnic or dine at the café at the aquarium.

After lunch, explore the Fort Fisher Museum and learn about this Civil War site. Then walk around the outside exhibits to see the remnants of the fort.

A beach day is a must while visiting this area. Kure Beach is a quieter beach popular with retirees and families. Wrightsville Beach is bustling and more of a challenge to find parking. At Carolina Beach, you will find the boardwalk with lots of shops and amusement park rides. There is really something for everyone. Each beach also has fishing piers where you can rent fishing equipment.

Insider Tip: Make sure to read the parking signs. The side street parking by shops and restaurants is usually two hours and turns over more frequently. The lots have all-day parking options. All parking is fee based.

You can download an app to make the process easier. Some parking meters have swipers for credit cards.

Airlie Gardens is a beautifully landscaped coastal south garden with 67 acres of formal gardens and walking paths. The crown jewel of the gardens is the Airlie Oak, which is a Southern Live Oak tree almost 500 years old. It sits amidst an expansive lawn surrounded by azalea bushes.

Pick up a self-guided walking tour brochure at the entrance. Explore more than a dozen gardens including the Pergola, Minnie Evans Bottle Chapel, a seasonal butterfly house and much more.

With its revitalized downtown, Riverwalk, and charming walkable historic district, as well as the spectacular beaches, Wilmington is the perfect vacation destination.

JALAPEÑO POPPERS WITH BACON Recipe Courtesy of Tina VanDenHeuvel You can follow Tina @madebetterforyou on Instagram

INGREDIENTS: 12 jalapeños 1 8-oz. package bacon, each piece cut into thirds 2 8-oz. blocks cream cheese, softened 6 oz. Mexican-blend cheese, shredded 2 jalapeños, seeded and diced 1 tbsp. cumin 2 tsp. garlic powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. pepper

METHOD: • Preheat your oven to 400˚F. Spray a broiler pan, or cover a sheet pan with aluminum foil, and place a wire rack on top with non-stick cooking spray. Set it aside for later.

• Start by prepping the jalapeños using a chef’s knife to cut off the stems, and cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise. Then, use a spoon to scrape out all the seeds and the white membrane inside the pepper. You can discard the seeds once you’re done or keep a few to add to the cream cheese mixture if you like it extra hot.

• In a medium-size mixing bowl, mix together the cream cheese, cheese, jalapeños and seasonings. Fill each jalapeño with the mix.

• Cut bacon strips into thirds and lay a piece on top of the cream cheese mix. Once you have filled and topped all the jalapeños with bacon, place them in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until bacon is done.

• Let cool before serving. Enjoy!
