It’s a Seller’s Market

BY DWAYNE K. PARSONS, REALTOR®.

A ZILLOW PREMIER AGENT

Thanks to the efforts of an enthusiastic, dedicated group of real estate agents and a strong local MLS system, the greater Coeur d’Alene area has enjoyed a long-awaited comeback of property sales. More data will come in shortly after Living Local goes to press, but year to date at the end of June yielded 1,326 homes sold. That’s up 17 percent over last year according to the Coeur d’Alene Association of Realtors® from which I’m drawing these figures.

Another important statistic is that which shows the number of active residential listings. This one moves in the opposite direction, down 6.5 percent from June of 2014.

This clearly points to a seller’s market and explains yet a third important statistic: Median Home prices are up 9 percdent over the prior year, hovering

breath-takingly close to $200,000 at $199,950 (to be exact). Average days on the market is down 10 percent at a median of 81.

If you have been thinking about selling, now is a good time to enter the market. Inventory is not as plentiful as some would like. It means a greater comp value for your property is likely and that a buyer or buyers may be looking for just what you have to offer.

Kootenai County has an excellent round of qualified brokerages all populated with competent agents ready and willing to serve your needs. This kind of market creates a can-do attitude among these professionals; so whether you are a buyer or seller, now is prime time for the marketplace.

“This brightly garnished sky over a Panhandle forest near Priest Lake reflects the optimism currently enjoyed in North Idaho’s real estate market.”

PUBLISHER Make Memories That Last

Join us at McEuen Park for an

outdoor microbrew festival featuring 12 local breweries, music, & more!

While it is still summer, for many this month signifies preparing our kids for the upcoming school year that is right around the corner. And for some, it will be a time when we take our child to college for the first time. There is a cartoon that has circulated around social media a great deal over the past couple of years — it shows a child leaving for kindergarten gripping onto his mother, obviously not wanting to leave her. The next frame shows a young adult enthusiastically leaving for college; but in this photo, it is the parents holding tightly onto the child.

If you are a parent, you know all too well how fast time goes by. It slips through our fingers like a tiny grain of sand. Unable to stop it, we often long for those days when our children were younger. Giving our children roots and also the courage to move forward confidently in life is one of the best gifts we can offer our kids. In addition, there is the gift of memories.

So whether you are a parent of toddlers, young teens or college-age students, I encourage you to get out and make the best memories you can. It is a gift that will last a lifetime.

Creating. Connecting. Living Local.

Helping Those At Risk Program gives hope to individuals who are ex-felons or in drug recovery.

By Jani Gonzalez. Photos courtesy of HARC.

The Helping the At Risk Community (HARC) program helps people reentering the workforce after drug addiction or jail by providing the emotional and educational support they need to change their lives around.

HARC is a unique faith-based program in that it provides a bridge for people struggling with the demands of life after being in jail or recovering from an addiction. The idea was sparked over lunch with Pastor Tim Remington, of The Altar Church in Coeur d’Alene; Ron Nilson, president and CEO of Ground Force Worldwide; and Frank Genetti, a businessman and long-time leader of groups assisting the at-risk community.

“We thought there was a piece missing with young people who may have gotten in trouble with the law or drugs. They may have a hard time finding employment and lose their selfrespect and dignity,” Genetti said. “We thought a certificate program would help.”

Genetti is no stranger to hard times. For years as a child, he struggled with school until he was diagnosed with a hearing condition. He went on to college and become a successful business man. However, later, he was challenged with alcoholism and has been in recovery for 45

14

years. He also has a son in prison and can relate to the struggles ex-felons must face.

“I’m open about my recovery. When I bring it up, people feel comfortable talking about it,” he said. “I have a passion for this. The kids respect that because I’ve ‘been there, done that.’”

To create HARC, Remington, Nilson and Genetti partnered with Kootenai Technical Education Campus (KTEC) and the Manufacturer’s Consortium, which includes more than 45 member manufacturers in Northern Idaho.

Students are referred to HARC via word-ofmouth and through the Department of Labor, the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation and the Department of Parole and Probation.

“We take them where they’re at – someone who’s struggling and has no direction in life – if they want to turn their life around, that’s enough for me. We want to give them hope and an opportunity,” he said.

It’s not easy work for anyone. Students come with a lot of emotional baggage. “They’re complex individuals,” he said.

People who have made poor choices that led

LIVINGLOCAL

to addiction or incarceration often lack the basic values of manners, respect, honesty and having a good work ethic. HARC’s main focus is a series of character-building classes that students must take. The classes, held at Real Life Ministries, Lake City Community Church or The Altar Church, teach character traits written by Dan Pinkerton. He is the president and CEO of Pinkerton Retirement Specialists and identified 49 successful character traits by which to live.

“We go through that book every day. We identify a different trait in a hands-on style versus in a classroom style,” Genetti said.

At HARC, students receive drug or alcohol counseling, life skills, anger management, financial counseling, nutrition classes, one-onone counseling and mentoring. Students also participate in the Celebrate Recovery program at Lake City Community Church.

“They don’t have to be Christian, they just have to be open to it,” Genetti said. He noted that faith-based 12-Step programs have a higher success rate than secular ones.

In addition to the classes at HARC, students must take evening vocational classes in a

Classes include auto repair, computer repair and networking, health professions, construction, welding, metal fabrication and manufacturing.

“We’re blessed to have KTEC in our community. The instructors are not teaching something they learned from a book. They have experience and on-the-job training,” he said.

classes to build tiny houses, hydroponics and aquaponics and culinary arts.

When students complete the HARC program, they receive a certificate plus a KTEC vocational certificate. Toward the end of both programs, HARC prepares students for jobs with resume writing and interviewing skills.

Lastly, HARC has an open house where companies meet the students.

The cost of the program varies and there is funding from the Department of Labor in addition to scholarships from HARC. However, they will not turn anyone away because of cost.

“We don’t want to leave anyone out. We’ll find a way to work with them,” he said.

“We’re always there for them,” Genetti said.

“We always say that we try to give them a hand up not a hand out. We want them to be committed to the program and be accountable and work for it.”

HOME & ESSENTIALS Tips & the Latest Trends

Family Law: Living Together WHEN UNMARRIED COUPLES SEPARATE.

BY ATTORNEY RICHARD PATRICK.

Sometimes things don’t work out as planned in our personal relationships.

When it is necessary to part from someone we have been in a serious relationship with and live separate lives, we usually are talking about divorce. However, these days, it is often the case that the parties were never married.

When unmarried parties separate, dividing personal items and belongings is usually a simple matter. One party takes his or her things, and the other takes theirs. Sometimes the parties have acquired items during the relationship that belong to each other. In those cases, the parties will need to agree to divide the items they own together, or in some instances, sell the items and divide the cash. If the parties have purchased real estate together, they can continue to own it together or have one party buy the other out of their interest.

In cases where parties have entered contracts or agreements as a pair, special care needs to be taken in how those contracts and agreements will be honored; for example, lease agreements with a property owner. If both parties are on the lease, the property owner still wants the rent and wants it from both parties. In those cases, you need to speak to your property owner and rewrite the lease for the person staying, or the parties need to enter into an additional written agreement between themselves that details who is responsible for the rent. In a perfect world, that additional agreement would be something

LIVINGLOCAL

the parties entered into prior to signing a lease agreement together. You also see this situation with vehicle purchases.

If parties have children together, it is necessary to have what is called a Residential Schedule drawn up and approved by the court. This document details who the children live with and who has residential time (also called visitation). It will also be necessary to establish child support.

It has become common in our society for folks to live together and not be married. If the relationship ends, there are many of the same issues concerning children and the division of property that folks getting divorces face.

If you live in a relationship with someone and are not married, take time to have open and frank discussions with your partner about what might happen if you split up. Put your ideas into a written document so if the relationship does end, you can minimize the surprises and difficulties of separation.

Managing Your Household OUTSOURCE YOUR WAY TO PEACE AND PRODUCTIVITY.

BY SARAH FRIESEN.

Like many people, Annie and Sam work busy full-time jobs, leaving the house early in the morning to drop off young kids at daycare before heading to work. Struggling to solidify their career paths while also trying to fully enjoy parenthood, they often feel guilty, overwhelmed and simply tired. “I feel like time is literally slipping through my fingers; like I’m trying to hold a cup of sand in my hands,” confesses Annie.

tasks. Something had to give.

This year, they vowed to take a few simple steps in order to gain some sanity around the house. They took our advice on some easy steps:

Enter the home management outsourcing solution that is sweeping the nation.

• Wake up earlier than the kids in order to have a peaceful, smooth start to your day.

• Make your bed every morning so that your room feels manageable and presentable.

• Plan ahead for meals using simple, quick ingredients and plan for only one shopping trip.

Outsourcing

• Do a 10-minute tidy every night so you can keep ahead of the clutter.

For household outsourcing to make sense, it must provide value that is higher than the cost of the service.

But Annie and Sam knew they had to take it even further. Sam’s career was at a critical turning point, and working extra hours could result in a rewarding promotion down the road.

Annie wasn’t sure she could handle her own job responsibilities and still care for the kids in the evenings, on top of keeping up with household

Susan Athey, an economist at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business, says “You have to start from a point where you say: What is necessary for me to be happy with my decision to be a working mother?”

Athey believes, “A lot of working mothers end up throwing up their hands in exasperation saying, ‘I can’t live this way!’ and quit their jobs.”

“If parents who want to work abandon their careers before trying outsourcing, quitting may be shortsighted,” writes NY Times author Catherine Kampell.

Even if you’re faster and more effective than everyone else at a given task you still might be better off paying someone else to do it for you.

Why? Ask the experts and they’ll point out there is a huge opportunity cost for every hour spent on tedious household tasks. In most cases, there is a higher-value activity waiting for you instead.

For some, outsourcing their home organization projects at a rate of $50/hour makes financial sense when they can use that time to earn $100/ hour by going to work. In other situations, the organizing service might be more of a financial sacrifice, however in the long

For some families, the added value is simply time with their kids. Those items are the intangibles, and often what a family needs most in the middle of chaotic schedules.

For people who have a hard time putting together their home interiors, I can see why they shop online.

I can understand that it’s easiest to see furniture arrangements and know what works together. I had a client recently tell me that she purchased all of her furniture online.

Sure enough, when I walked into her house, I could have picked out the catalog page number that matched her living room down to the candle holders on the sofa table. She was missing a couple of key components to finish out her house –her locally purchased mattress was on the floor, so at least she had a place to sleep, but the headboard was lost in transit somewhere and a replacement one would arrive in four to six weeks.

Ordering furnishings and interior items is difficult — after all you are paying additional for the shipping and waiting the transit time for their “white glove delivery.” And if you don’t like it, good luck sending it back to the vendor.

I’m not knocking magazine or online shopping. I think this is great to look in magazines, look online, tag things on Houzz or Pinterest. They are all great resources to get ideas of what is out there. Use these resources to help you be a smarter shopper. A smart shopper who gets the best customer service, support from a company that stands behind their warranties, and best of all, the items you buy are guaranteed to make it to you in one piece and on time. Use your resources and shop locally.

Based on what you like, tear those pictures

out of your magazines, pin them to your board on Pinterest, take your own pictures, or jot down notes on what looks good to you.

Start a file of those items. That way, you have an idea of what you want and can use that to convey to whomever you are purchasing from. Shopping local has its advantages when it comes to furniture and interior finishes.

I have people come in all the time with a simple photo of a vanity or more complex folder of photos illustrating their dream kitchen. They may like the layout of a particular island in one picture, but also want the style of the base kitchen cabinets in another magazine photo.

We will use those different styles together to create their own unique kitchen. The same rings true for furniture, tile layouts, rugs and most all interior finishes.

Don’t be afraid to pull out your iPad, phone, or old-school folder with magazine tear-outs to give us an idea of what you like.

Also shoot a few photos of the room where you want to put the furniture, the cabinets you are replacing, or the windows for which you need blinds. Take a few dimensions of the kitchen or bathroom you need cabinets in, the windows you want blinds for, and the area you’ll be buying furniture for.

The more informative you can be, the more it helps us provide accurate renderings, information and pricing. You really do get the better end of the deal by shopping local because you will have the customer service and local support you deserve. (oh, and you are supporting your local economy!)

Epic Fall Experiences JOIN THE HAYDEN LAKE MARATHON, HALF MARATHON AND 10K.

BY ERNA RHINEHART. It’s just around the corner. Cool mornings, crisp fall days and trees bursting with beautiful fall colors. Those are just some of the things that make the Hayden Lake Marathon, Half Marathon and 10K races such epic experiences. We all love summer, but there’s something incredibly special about fall. Running a race in the middle of October that takes you into the heart of North Idaho’s magnificent scenery is simply amazing.

Mark your calendar for Saturday, October 17 for the 3rd Annual Hayden Lake Marathon, Half Marathon and 10K races. This year’s races include timing chips and a new course for the 10K. All three races begin at Honeysuckle Beach with the Marathon starting at 7am, the Half Marathon at 8am and the 10K at 9am. Whether you’re a racer, a volunteer or a spectator, we invite you to come enjoy a fall Saturday overlooking gorgeous Hayden Lake. It’s truly an incredible day. Proceeds benefit the Hayden Chamber, the Coeur d’Alene High School cross country teams and the Hayden Senior Center.

Early bird prices through October 3 are $85 for the marathon, $65 for the half marathon and $30 for the 10K. More information is available at www.haydenlakemarathon.org The 26.2-mile marathon takes runners around Hayden Lake for stunning views of

Avondale and Hayden lakes. Runners will experience challenging hills with gorgeous mountains in the distance and thick forests by their side. The race travels counterclockwise around the lake in odd years and the opposite direction in even years.

The half marathon traverses north on Strahorn Road along Hayden Lake Country Club, then onto Lakeview Drive, English Point Road, Lancaster Road, Avondale Loop Road, and then to the finish line at Honeysuckle Beach.

This year the 10K will sport a new route so that spectators can gather at Avondale Dental Center or The Porch on Miles Avenue and cheer for runners competing in all three distances. After leaving Honeysuckle Beach, racers will travel north on Strahorn, east on Miles, and up Lakeview Drive, and then return along Avondale Lake on North Eastshore Drive and North Friar Drive.

Participants in the marathon must be at least 18-years-old, half marathoners must be at least 14-years-old,and the 10K is open to anyone 10 years of age or older.

Hyperthermia KEEPING YOUR FURRY FRIENDS SAFE FROM THE HEAT.

BY DR. DAWN MEHRA, NORTH IDAHO ANIMAL HOSPITAL.

This summer has been in full swing for several months. In fact, North Idahoans have suffered through tremendous temperature spikes; we have felt triple digit numbers on many afternoons. And we have already witnessed a handful of furry patients suffering from heat exhaustion.

Everyone understands the stress of direct sunlight on a dog or cat.

And most pet owners are very careful not to over exercise their pet (or themselves) in the middle of a summer day. But we cannot emphasize enough the threat of a closed space, even with ventilation, on a warm day.

Hyperthermia may be life threatening and requires immediate treatment.

A dog’s normal temperature ranges between 100 to 102 degrees; we consider anything higher than 104.5 degrees a true emergency. Here’s a fact that blew my mind: On a relatively cool (70 degree) day, a recent study from Stanford University Medical Center found the temperature within a vehicle may increase by an average of 40 degrees Fahrenheit within one hour, regardless of outside temperature. Bottom line: We can’t be too careful with our animal (and human) companions.

Bulldogs and other short-faced canines have very different breathing anatomy — their tracheas (wind pipes) and airways are often reduced in diameter and become stressed easily by the heat. Panting alone can cause elevated body temperature. Obesity and diseases may predispose a pet to hyperthermia — prolonged seizures, poisoning and mild fever come to mind; these are not necessarily caused by the external temperature.

Hyperthermia signs Symptoms include panting, restlessness, salivating and staggering. As hyperthermia progresses, the gums may look purple or blue tinged. Pets are often very distressed. Severe hyperthermia affects nearly every cell in the body. Organs that are too hot (like over 105 degrees) can actually become jello-like and literally melt down. Blood in the urine is a life threatening sign.

There are other conditions that can affect your pet’s sensitivity to heat.

22

LIVINGLOCAL

WWW.CDALIVING.COM AUGUST 2015

What to do Place your hot dog in a cool area, grab a fan and place it directly on him. Place moist wet towels around the groin, armpits and neck.

You may also apply cool water to his earflaps and paws. This will help immediately drop the temperature at least one degree. Time permitting, try to obtain a rectal temperature.

Then get your pet to the vet! As stated above, the inner organs are very susceptible to break down in this state, the pet may need more intensive care.

Recycled Metal Art SELF-TAUGHT ARTIST REMAKES HIMSELF AFTER THE RECESSION.

When the recession hit in 2008, Tim Clark, a master welder and blacksmith, found himself with too much time on his hands. Then he picked up some scrap metal around his garage shop and began to make things again – this time from things that inspire him – which can be almost anything.

Clark, of Silverton, Idaho, is a welder by trade.

For years, he ran his own industrial fabrication shop and managed crews designing, creating and repairing farm equipment.

“2008 took that away,” the artist said at his home, where visitors are always welcome.

When the jobs died down after the recession, Clark kept busy making scrap metal into

LIVINGLOCAL

works of art. His creations are borne of leftover metal from industrial jobs, horseshoe files and railroad spikes.

“Almost everything is repurposed. I use what’s left over from other work,” he said.

Clark is a renaissance man of sorts. He makes everything he needs for his creations. Old washing machine parts become the basis of roses. He makes other roses from railroad spikes. Horseshoe files leftover from his horseshoeing days are made into knives. He made a car’s leaf-spring into a gurney (also called gunners) sword. To create certain colors in the metal, he might use an acid bath or heat the metal to a certain temperature to create a particular patina.

His latest and biggest endeavor yet is “Celtic Grace,” a woman in a traditional Celtic costume dancing and playing the violin.

It’s his first life-size sculpture made of handhammered steel sheet. Initially, when asked what inspires him, Clark shrugged. But there is no question what inspired “Celtic Grace.” Last winter, Clark saw a video of a Celtic dancer playing the violin, and the beautiful image stayed with him.

“It was just stunning – I thought if I could just capture a little bit of that,” Clark said. “I had a picture of what I wanted and just went to it.”

As with his other work, “Celtic Grace” is made from steel sheet leftover from an old job. Clark hand-hammered “her” from head-to-toe, and the painstaking details are noticeable. The sculpture took six months to complete. The face alone took three weeks to fashion.

With metal work, improvisation is often the name of the game. To create the dancer’s skirt, he built a fire in a steel drum and molded the metal in the shape he needed. Some of it was also molded on an anvil. He also made chisels for the different shapes he wanted to make. “Any time I need a new tool, I forged it out of grader blade, which is from a front end loader – that’s really good steel,” he said. For her long, curly hair, “I forged every single piece and welded it on. I twisted it with heat and hammered it. The braid was more difficult, but I just kept adding heat,” he explained.

Clark, who is also a history buff, modeled the dancer’s costume after the traditional dress of the 1600s. “I wanted to keep it true to the time period,” he said. Her slippers too were molded and wrapped. The 350-pound structure appears to stand effortlessly on its one foot caught in mid twirl playing the violin.

The Best Part “The best part is to see other people enjoy it – I saw something that inspired me to make this, and to see other people enjoy it – I’ve captured something there.”

His interest in history has also led him to create a series of fire strikers, several of which are created in the Viking and American colonial styles made from horseshoe files.

His next endeavor is to make a life-size sculpture of a little girl that will be poised about to touch the thorn on one of his steel roses.

Clark doesn’t exhibit in art galleries, but most people visit the workshop at his home in Silverton. He recently took “Celtic Grace” to a street fair in Wallace, where the sculpture was a popular photo destination.

BELOW A side view of “Celtic Grace.”

“The best part is to see other people enjoy it – I saw something that inspired me to make this, and to see other people enjoy it – I’ve captured something there,” he said.

COEUR D’ALENE

IN FOCUS A GROWING BIKE COMMUNITY

Weekly group rides gaining members.

By Colin Anderson. Photos courtesy of CDA Bike Company.

This summer you’ve probably noticed a few less parking spaces in front of some of your favorite local shops and businesses. Spots that would once hold a car or two are now holding a dozen or more bicycles. There are several grassroots bike organizations working to make Coeur d’Alene a more bike friendly community. So far, they’ve added numerous bike racks and improved the visibility of bikes lanes across the city. Many volunteer to keep the Centennial Trail in good shape, and Ales for the Trails Brewfest will again help benefit the trail and local biking community.

“Biking has grown exponentially over the past few years, and I think it comes down to the amount of education out there and showing people how much fun they can have,” explained Chris Caro. Caro is co-owner of the recently opened CDA Bike Company on 3rd street. Along with business partner Alex Castagno, Caro wants the company not just to be a place to buy and tune a bike, but make the store a focal point and hangout for the biking community. As part of getting that community together, the pair hosts two “no drop” rides each week.

ABOVE The rides are open to all ages and skill levels.

“A no drop ride means that someone from our store will finish with the last person, no matter how long it takes,” said Caro.

The rides are Tuesday and Wednesday night, and all ages and skill levels are welcome. The Tuesday ride is a road ride of less than 20 miles, and usually takes about an hour to hour and a half. Riders meet at CDA Bike Company at 5:30pm and end at Java on Sherman where they can take advantage of $2 beers and $2 tacos. The Wednesday night ride is titled “Bikes, Brews, & Burgers” and is an off-road trail ride of about five miles. This group of cyclists meets at the Canfield Nettleton Gultch parking lot at 5:45pm, and once the ride is over they regroup at Slate Creek Brewing for drinks and free burgers. “It’s been awesome and we’ve seen up to 65 people or more on some of these rides which really shows you how big the biking community is here,” said Caro.

Caro said some riders pedal hard and fast, while others take their time and socialize more — and both are alright with him. You can stop by the new shop or check them out on Facebook if you want to learn more about these weekly rides. Caro anticipates the rides will continue to grow and hopes they will one day be a staple of the community. “It’s cool that it’s caught on and went nuts.

I’m sure free burgers and cheap beer doesn’t hurt either.”

Some of the incredible attractions you will find at this year’s fair are things not one typically encounters in North Idaho. There is the live shark encounter where trained professionals will interact with the crowd and perform stunts that are sure to amaze both young and old. And the kids especially will enjoy being entertained by the sea lions that will balance balls, shoot hoops and perform acrobatic tricks. There will also be a magician, hypnotist, clowns, a petting zoo and much more!

While we all enjoy going to the fair and taking part in all it has to offer, what many people may not realize is that both the North Idaho Fair and Rodeo and Kootenai County Fairgrounds receive less than 10 percent of its annual budget from taxpayers. So just how is it that this wonderful event can be offered year after year?

The Fair Foundation, which is governed by a Board of Directors, works year round to raise funds for capital improvements to the fairgrounds and to help bring educational programs to area youth. In addition to grants from private foundations, the board’s work in fundraising goes a long way to financing new and existing programs, youth opportunities and major fairgrounds improvements.

Admission tickets to this year’s North Idaho Fair & Rodeo are available online at www.northidahofair.com or at the Fairground’s box office. Presale tickets are $8 for adults, $5 for youth and seniors and children five and under are free. These discounted tickets will be available until Tuesday, August 25th.

Summer Golf Tune Up PROPER EQUIPMENT KEY TO HAVING MORE FUN.

BY COLIN ANDERSON. Forty-One South: Open 7 Nights a Week 41southsandpoint.com / 208.265.2000

It’s been an unseasonably warm and dry summer across the northwest, and getting in 18 holes of golf is a difficult affair. Morning tee times are swooped up fast as everyone tries to avoid getting stuck on the course as the temperatures soar into the 90s.

If you haven’t had the opportunity to play as much this year, there are still a few things you can do to improve your game and have more fun on the golf course.

“Seek out a pro that really cares about making you better, and take advantage of all our pros’ local knowledge.”

“We’re really spoiled here as there are a ton of great pros in the area that can educate you on your swing and take a look at your equipment,” said Randall Henry, General Manager of

LIVINGLOCAL

Henry-Griffits Custom Clubs in Coeur d’Alene.

The less frequent we play, the more we tend to develop bad habits. Local golf pros are able to identify those bad habits and get them corrected to help you play better. It also might be time to really have your equipment analyzed. “People tend to wait to get custom fit clubs, and really it’s the opposite,” said Henry.

“If your clubs don’t fit you right from the start, you develop poor habits and swing mechanics.”

Henry-Griffits is a pioneer in the custom clubfitting industry and has been fitting weekend warriors and professionals for more than 30 years. Many custom clubs on the market are only customized to someone’s height; whereas Henry-Griffits analyzes many factors including height, swing speed, flexibility in the shaft, loft angle and more. With properly fit clubs, golfers tend to hit the ball further and, more importantly, straighter.

Custom fit clubs are an investment and will typically cost more than a set off the sporting goods floor. “I always tell people they are probably better off with a few clubs that fit you right than a full set that isn’t fit right for you,” said Henry. “Golf is about having fun and unfortunately bad equipment can have a major negative impact on your game.”

WWW.CDALIVING.COM AUGUST 2015

Even if you’re not in the market for a set of custom clubs, Henry-Griffits can handle repairs, re-gripping, replacement shafts and more on just about every brand out there.

The company has recently relocated to a new Sherman Avenue location right next to Moontime restaurant east of downtown Coeur d’Alene. Improving your game might be as simple as analyzing or repairing your current clubs.

Golf is a game that no one will ever conquer, but with a little instruction and the proper equipment you will see an improvement in your game at any level. “Seek out a pro that really cares about making you better, and take advantage of all our pros’ local knowledge,” said Henry.

NIC Awarded Grant MONEY WILL GO THE HEALTH CARE FIELD.

BY TOM GREENE, COMMUNICATIONS COORDINATOR FOR NORTH IDAHO COLLEGE

North Idaho College has been awarded a $202,500 Idaho Department of Labor grant to fund three new courses in the health care field: Mental Health Assistant, Restorative Aide and Patient Care Coordinator.

NIC Workforce Training Center has partnered with three health care providers in North Idaho, Kootenai Health, Valley Vista Care and Northwest Hospital Alliance, to help develop and implement the Health Career Pathway Project. The three industry partners are contributing a $50,625 match for the grant.

The Northwest Hospital Alliance includes five independent hospitals: Benewah Community Hospital (St. Maries), Bonner General Health (Sandpoint), Boundary Community Hospital (Bonners Ferry), Kootenai Health (Coeur d’Alene) and Shoshone Medical Center (Kellogg).

“The Health Career Pathway Project will address skill gaps in high-demand occupations within the health care sector,” said Marie Price, NIC director of Workforce Training and Community Education. “Health care is one of the fastest growing industries in North Idaho and this grant will help us make sure training is available for these jobs throughout the region.

The grant further develops a degree-seeking pathway in health care to increase employment and wages of Idaho workers in our region.”

According to grant requirements, 135 certified nursing assistants (CNAs) will complete training and national certification in the next two years.

“It is exciting to advance the skill set of CNAs and work with the industry to meet the needs

LIVINGLOCAL

WWW.CDALIVING.COM AUGUST 2015

of their patients,” said Dotty Heberer, NIC CNA and Health Professions coordinator and project manager for the grant. “When CNAs earn additional credentials, it leads to greater job satisfaction and quality care.”

Through research and industry advisors, both training and awareness in mental health were identified as the strongest needs in the region. Working with mental health experts, NIC Workforce Training launched the Mental Health Assistant and Mental Health First Aid courses in 2015.

“I learned so much (taking the Mental Health Assistant course) and using all the knowledge at the hospital has made my job much easier,” said Kootenai Health CNA Tess Garcia. “It taught me how to communicate effectively and positively.”

Restorative Aides work in rehabilitation settings in long-term care and hospitals. NIC’s course prepares students for the national certification exam — the first college in the state to do so.

Patient Care Coordinator is a redesign of the Health Unit Coordinator course in response to changes in health care technology and practices. The Patient Care Coordinator training will enhance the skill set of the current HUC role in providing added support for case management and discharge planners with a strong emphasis in customer service.

To learn more about these grant-related programs, contact Dotty Heberer, NIC CNA and Health Professions coordinator, at 208.665.5448.

COVER STORY A FESTIVAL

OF FUN

Music and magic on the shores of Lake Pend Oreille.

By Teresa Pesce. Photos by Jamie Sedlmayer.

By the vast cool waters of Lake Pend Oreille beneath starry evening skies, musical magic comes to Sandpoint every August and has done so since 1983. It’s the Festival at Sandpoint — a family tradition, a famous annual occasion, a musical pilgrimage for annual attendees and an honor welcomed by musicians of phenomenal fame.

As big as the heart of the town that hosts it, the Festival began as a vision of local volunteers to introduce symphonic music to the area and provide the community with an economic boost. Accordingly, the premiere season featured three concerts with the Spokane Symphony Orchestra.

Since then, the Festival has flourished beyond all imagined horizons and is now a two-week sold-out series of concerts in an eclectic range of jazz, blues, country, folk, world, rock and pop. And yet, true to the root of its original intention, the Festival always culminates with a grand finale by the Spokane Symphony Orchestra.

Sandpoint resident and musician Dave Gunter thoroughly enjoys all that the Festival has to offer. And he has been on both sides of the event as performer and spectator.

“The Festival at Sandpoint is like your cool uncle who used to come to town for a couple weeks in the summer — full of surprises and fun to be around. I have watched it grow from the first year to present day. Watched as it hit hard times and then came back stronger and better than ever,” said Gunter. “I’ve been lucky to have been on the stage, in the audience and on the board of the Festival. Each aspect was a reminder of what a rare gem we have in this

sublime little summer concert series.”

With people traveling great distances to see the performances, the Festival is a huge economic boost to not only the businesses in Sandpoint but the non-profits as well. “I’ve worked in the Panida Theater ice cream booth for six Festivals – it’s the main Panida fundraiser. And sometimes even when it’s hectic and lots of people are lined up to order, a certain song will come on and suddenly everyone just stands still and listens. It’s magic,” local Ron Ragone said.

Kate McAlister said she is fortunate to enjoy each and every night of the Festival and looks forward to it each year. “I’m one of the lucky ones who live near the Festival! I not only get to go to it, I get to enjoy it on the other nights too. We love sitting outside on our deck and listening to the music drifting toward us.

It’s wonderful!” McAlister said.

“to make exceptional musicians and great performances accessible to the community and the surrounding region.”

This 33rd annual summer concert series, August 6 through 16, showcases eight nights of classic favorites and progressive artists with headliners Arlo Guthrie, Ziggy Marley, Vince Gill, Lake Street Dive, Trampled By Turtles, The Devil Makes Three and Wilco, as well as supporting stars and local favorites, including Jonatha Brooke, Maw Band, The Barefoot Movement, Troy Bullock, The Ballroom Thieves, Vetiver and Owen & McCoy.

The Festival line policy is designed to reward attendees for being early while leaving them free to enjoy a summer day in town. Seating is “festival style” meaning, blankets and lawn chairs. This means the earlier you arrive, the more choices you’ll have to get your preferred viewing spot. Some concert-goers arrive as early as 5am to get in line for the front of the stage! Festival organizers begin handing out numbers around 8am and at intervals throughout the day to about 300 people. With each number, a person is allowed to receive a place in line for a party of four.

Festival lovers, we’ll see you there! And if you’ve never been to this yearly musical celebration of community and camaraderie? You know what to do!

Spaces are limited by an 8- by 8-foot blanket or chair set up. Only low chairs are permitted in the blanket area.

Other lawn chairs are permitted behind the blanket area. After the people with numbers are admitted, general admission begins. In other words – prepare for a line. Smoking is not permitted in the field. Concessions are available for purchase, and patrons are permitted to bring food and drink as well. Memorial Field is accessible for individuals with disabilities.

Each season’s talent line-up is enough to widen the eyes of any music-lover, and the tickets begin to take wing far in advance of the event. Held in the open air and covered only by stars, the intimate setting is the emotional cornerstone of the Festival’s success. Although there is abundant seating, listeners gathered on blankets beneath a darkening sky are a hallmark of the event. Enthusiastic crowds are a vibrant fulfillment of the Festival’s original mission:

Picnicking in Style NEW TRENDS TO TRY WHILE HIKING AND PICNICKING THIS SUMMER.

BY SARAH POLYAKOV.

DID YOU KNOW? Cosmetics have been used for as long as there have been people to use them. Face painting is mentioned in the Old Testament (Ezekiel 23:40) and eye shadow was used in Egyptian burials dating back to 10,000 BC.

46

Each summer we have so many opportunities to get outdoors and enjoy hikes and picnics with friends and loved ones. But the question is, how do we do it in style? Fortunately, the fabrics used for today’s outdoor clothing provide the best of both worlds. Today’s athletic retailers offer skirts, skorts and shorts made to reflect the most current styles. However, unlike their department store counterparts, these pieces wash and dry easily while wicking away rain and resisting humidity.

Today’s outdoor pants are shaped for hiking, comfortable enough to wear all day, and usually contain cleverly hidden zippered pockets for cellphones and other small items. Many hiking pants also offer the option to zip the pant legs off below the knee so that you have impromptu walking shorts when hot weather hits. But the best part about many outdoor pants is that some of them can double as your favorite pair of khakis and be worn to the office, all the while remaining comfortable and on-trend.

Getting outdoors is important for the body and soul, but being mindful of the sun and its effect on health is even more important.

While it’s great to cover ourselves in sunscreen, we often need more. The best feature of this year’s outdoor wear includes something very important — built in sun protection. Many active wear companies have taken note of the recent uptick in melanoma and have responded accordingly. It’s easy to find swimsuits, rash

LIVINGLOCAL

guards, T-shirts, long-sleeved shirts, and even pants that include built-in sun protection equivalent to SPF 50.

While you’re out, don’t forget to pack a picnic lunch. Dutch designer Jeriel Bobbe recently designed my favorite picnic basket of all time since it does more than carry lunch. Bobbe often lamented the fact that there were very few comfortable benches in the parks near his home, so he rose to the challenge. When folded, Bobbe’s basket looks like any other since it offers compartments to keep food, plates and cutlery. But if you take a few seconds to fold it out, this picnic basket transforms into an elegant table for two with two cushioned seats attached. It has even been designed to hook easily on the back of a bicycle.

Embrace the outdoors and do it in style. But while you are out and about, don’t forget accessories such as a BPA-free water bottle, sunscreen, a geo-caching device and a selfie stick to show your friends that you actually did reach a mountain’s summit.

Tips to Keep You Healthy

Enjoy the Sun Without the Damage PROTECT YOUR EYES AND SKIN AGAINST UV RAYS.

Most people associate UV rays with summers at the beach, but UV rays are ubiquitous. Any exposure to natural light, whether from playing beach volleyball, walking to a parked car, sitting near an office window or staging a snowball fight, can damage skin. For example, after a tan fades, people might notice dark spots, uneven skin tone, blotchiness or wrinkles. And that’s all just surface damage — UV rays penetrate deep into the skin, creating damage that won’t be visible for years.

“Under the surface there is invisible damage that can and will manifest into what is seen on the upper layer of the dermis,” says Dr. Adam Geyer, Kiehl’s Since 1851 consulting dermatologist and instructor in clinical dermatology at Columbia University in New

York City.

Even if women diligently use sunscreen all year long, their skin will still suffer some photo damage. Luckily, women can repair, as well as prevent, damage. Some women resort to expensive procedures, like chemical peels and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments, which use lasers, to lessen visible skin damage.

But women can also repair visible and invisible UV damage at home. Kiehl’s Since 1851 (www. kiehls.com), a company that has specialized in skin care since 1851, has introduced its PhotoAge Corrector High-Potency Spot Treatment.

The treatment targets the melanin that causes discoloration by decreasing melanin production and helping to prevent

existing melanin from rising to the surface. This decreases the appearance of blotches and dark spots for brighter, more translucent skin. At the same time, antioxidants help prevent damage from free radicals.

When used with its supporting cleanser, toner and moisturizer, the High-Potency Spot Treatment provides immediate luminosity, reduces dark spots and evens skin tone in as little as four weeks while also inhibiting invisible damage from rising to the surface.

The clinically proven treatment is appropriate for all skin types and ethnicities.

Like Skin, Your Eyes Need Year-Round Protection From UV Rays Most of us have gotten the message that exposing our skin to UV rays without any protection is about as smart as handing a signed blank check to a stranger. But it’s only recently that health experts have seriously begun warning about an equally dangerous threat those rays pose to another part of our bodies: our eyes.

Think about it: The eyes are the only internal body tissues directly exposed to UV. Three hundred and sixty five days a year — no matter how “cloudy” it appears outside — radiation (mainly) from the sun is beaming down on our vulnerable windows to the world.

“The rods and cones of the eye are rich in light-absorbing pigmented molecules called chromophores, making it particularly susceptible to photochemical reactions,” says Dr. Howard Purcell, O.D., F.A.A.O., former chairman of the Cornea and Contact Lenses Department at Nova Southeastern University’s College of Optometry, noting that even the light produced by indoor fluorescent light bulbs relies on the release of UV radiation.

“Over time, damage from UV radiation is cumulative and often irreversible.”

Among the potential effects of long-term exposure: • Cataracts. This progressive clouding of the eye’s lens is the primary cause of blindness worldwide, and studies have shown that UV accelerates the deterioration that leads to this age-related condition. Cataract affects more than 22 million people age 40 and older in the U.S. alone.

Think About It

• Eyelid Cancer. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, 5 to 10 percent of all skin cancers are found on the eyelids.

• Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

Damage to the blood vessels and corresponding nerves in the retina blurs fine detail and dulls colors.

Alarmed that 94 percent of the population remains unaware of the adverse effect UV radiation has on their eyes, an expert panel recommended the adoption of the eye-care equivalent of the successful systems used to rate skincare and sunscreen products. That’s now being done — in the form of the firstever “Eye-Sun Protection Factor” (E-SPF) by Essilor, the nation’s leading manufacturer of optical lenses (www.ESPF.com).

“This means consumers will be able to better evaluate the complete level of eye protection provided by their eyewear,” says Purcell.

E-SPF values vary from a low of two to a maximum of 25 for everyday lenses, with Essilor’s own Crizal No-Glare lenses being the first to attain the most complete daily protection level. For tinted and polarized sun lenses, the same company’s Crizal SunShield UV No-Glare lenses provide the maximum protection level with an E-SPF of 50+.

And, yes, that does translate into 50 times more protection than without wearing any lens.

UV rays penetrate deep into the skin, creating damage that won’t be visible for years.

The eyes are the only internal body tissues directly exposed to UV. Three hundred and sixty five days a year.

Win the Craving Battle KNOWING WHY AND SAYING GOOD-BYE.

BY DARCI BARMAN, MSN, RDN, LD, REGISTERED DIETITIAN NUTRITIONIST. Cravings are a natural phenomena of life. Without these primal signals for nutrient needs, our species may cease to exist! There are a few predominant reasons for why we experience food cravings and many ways to combat them. The cravings that plague us today can still be deeply rooted in our physiological needs but can also be a result of the constant bombardment of food advertising. When was the last time you shopped in a non-grocery store (say, an office supply or home goods store) and weren’t tempted with chocolate, chips, sweetened beverages and candy at the checkout? We make over 1,000 food decisions a day, mostly subconsciously, so here’s how to tune in and help you win that three o’clock battle.

Why We Crave It’s just as important to know why we crave as it is to know what we crave. The top four reasons for food cravings are: 1. Dehydration – Dehydration is most often experienced as hunger.

2. Nutritional Deficiencies - Long distance runners may crave red meat due to their higher iron needs. People with inadequate mineral intake may crave salt. Dieters who are in a caloric deficit crave high-calorie foods because their bodies believe to be in starvation.

3. Hormonal Imbalances – Most women report specific cravings related to their menstrual cycles. In reality, they are in need of specific nutrients to support each phase.

4. Feelings & Emotions – If you’re angry, tired, bored or lonely, your body may try to distract you with cravings.

It’s called soul food for a reason!

Bye-Bye Cravings Resisting food cravings is not always the way to go. If our bodies are trying to tell us we need a specific nutrient, listen. Or, if the craving is believed to be purely psychological, you deserve that piece of chocolate, then go for it (but only if you know when to stop).

Attempting to “trick” your body by feeding it something similar to what it wants, think non-fat frozen yogurt for that ice cream craving, you may wind up even more unsatisfied and with a craving even stronger than before.

Here are some strategies to work through common food cravings, the result of fluctuations in blood sugar, hormones and stress.

• Start your day with a balanced breakfast that contains at least 20 grams of protein to reduce the likelihood of a mid-day sugar craving.

• Cravings are often hunger in disguise.

Reach for balanced snacks that contain fat, protein and carbohydrates like an apple and peanut butter, to balance blood sugar.

• They can also be thirst in disguise so drink a full glass of water and see if that helps.

• Decrease stress in your life. Sometimes cravings may be induced by an anxietyprovoking task like talking to your boss or giving a presentation. Identify stresstriggers and adapt a different coping skill in those situations (deep breaths, relaxing tea, etc).

• Avoid added sugars –they just make you want more!

• Decrease caffeine consumption – caffeine can influence dramatic peaks and valleys in our blood sugar management. Drink caffeine only in the mornings and pair it with protein or fat.

• Stop and assess WHY you may be having this craving using HALT- B; ask yourself are you Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired or Bored?

• Work with your health care provider to figure out if cravings are a result of poor glucose control, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, an infection, poor stress adaptation or a hormonal imbalance.

Whiplash

It is alarming to realize that two out of every five driving-aged people will experience a car accident each year. Out of six million injuries due to car accidents, three million are whiplash related injuries. Whiplash is a nonmedical term first used in 1928, and was called “railway spine” before then to describe injuries that occurred in train accidents. A whiplash describes a range of injuries to the neck caused by or related to a sudden distortion of the neck.

“Cervical acceleration-deceleration describes the mechanism of the injury while the term whiplash associated disorder describes the injury sequelae and symptoms.” — medicine.net.com

AN INJURY THAT CAN HAPPEN EVEN AT FIVE MILES PER HOUR.

BY SUSAN HOFFMAN.

Fortunately, the experience of a whiplash is not usually life threatening, but it should not be ignored. Seeking medical evaluation is important, and the chiropractic approach using specific adjustments will restore proper motion and normal spinal function. Too many people ignore the symptoms and suffer from constant headaches and depend on addictive pain medications, or even submit to needless surgery.

When the head is suddenly jerked either forward or back, back and forward, or side to side, the muscles, ligaments and other soft tissue supporting the spine and head can be overstretched, irritated or torn. According to Dr. Joshua Gale, “The resulting instability of the spine and soft tissues can result in headaches, dizziness,

blurred vision, pain in the shoulder, arms, and hands, reduced ability to turn and bend, and even low back problems.” Other symptoms include neck pain, numbness in arms and fingers, pain in jaw or face, nausea, ringing in the ears, difficulty concentrating, irritability, fatigue and difficulty in swallowing. Whiplash most commonly happens while riding in a car, but it can also occur with contact sports and shaken baby syndrome.

Like with most medical issues, the sooner treatment is pursued the quicker the recovery in order to avoid a chronic condition that can lead to a disability. The type of car you drive may put you at greater risk. When purchasing a car, it is important to consider the size and weight of the vehicle as well as the restraint systems including seatbelts, airbags and head restraints. Surprisingly, research has shown that no head restraint is safer than one in the low position.

Usually one does not have time to foresee the impact in a car crash, but there are a few things you can do to help protect yourself.

Put your head and neck all the way back so that you are in contact with the head restraint or seat back.

Wear a seatbelt at all times while in a car.

Have a good grip on the steering wheel, with arms straight.

If you do experience an injury, contact your chiropractor for an evaluation.

It is important to begin treatment immediately, and in addition to contacting your chiropractor, you can begin at home with RICE therapy: rest, ice, compression, and elevation.

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

DINNER YOU CAN DO Culinary Stone fast becoming local foodie center.

By Colin Anderson. Photos by Jamie Sedlmayer.

When the Culinary Stone opened its door nearly two years ago in the Riverstone shopping center, people found a wide variety of cooking utensils, books, seasonings, pots, pans, accessories and wine.

While this continues to be the store’s bread and butter, it’s also become one of the unofficial culinary education centers for Coeur d’Alene.

Jonathan Siegler is the new manager of the deli and especially enjoys this part of the job. “I get to interact with everyone, and it’s almost like people are coming into my kitchen. I learn a lot about people just from chatting in a casual setting.”

“It’s all about education,” said co-owner Brad Gunn. “Once people learn about quality ingredients and how to prepare a great meal for far less than going out, they’re hooked.”

The deli features only choice or prime grade meats cut in store, along with house made sausages and a variety of cheeses. “Once people taste the difference in a quality meat, it’s hard for them to go back to what they’re used to,” said Siegler.

The Culinary Stone offers a wide range of experiences to its visitors. The store has a gourmet kitchen set up inside where chefs from local restaurants as well as other cooking pros gather to teach eager students the finer points of different regional cuisine. Classes have included learning to roll sushi, Italian at home, Thai, Mexican and seemingly everything in between. The classes are exceptionally popular with just about every one selling out well in advance. There is also free wine tasting on Wednesday evenings from 4:30 to 6:30pm.

Each Wednesday the store picks several wine varietals and pairs them with their deli meats and cheeses. This is a great opportunity for guests to learn what style of wines go best with particular dishes and meats.

With summer being all about the barbecue, Brad is all about sharing his knowledge of the grill. He uses a pellet grill from Ironstone Mountain Comfort so he can really control the heat and add extra flavor to the grill. “The advantage to a pellet grill is I can get it up to 750 degrees, which allows me to sear the meat and lock in the juices and flavor,” said Gunn.

Anyone who has dropped by Riverstone on a Thursday evening this summer has probably smelled Gunn’s cooking. He’s out on the patio offering something new each week, from gourmet burgers and chicken to unique offerings from their multiple tap beers and ciders. As always he’s eager to share his grilling advice with anyone looking to fine tune their skills.

As we get closer to fall, the Culinary Stone plans to continue their free weekly wine tasting and ramp up on some additional cooking classes.

They also plan to add new soups and gourmet deli platters for football tailgating or having friends over for the game. “People are amazed how great a meal they can make at home for far less than dining out, and we love giving them that knowledge,” said Gunn. Cooking can be intimidating, but with a little knowledge you’ll soon be a more confident at home chef. The Culinary Stone focuses on locally sourced and unique ingredients you won’t find too many other places. Try a wine pairing, cooking class, or grab a bite from the deli and see how easy gourmet can really be!

SWEET SPUDS An award winning North Idaho treat. By Colin Anderson.

Since the early 90’s, Hermine Sittel Kubista has been crafting delicious treats the old fashioned way. From her kitchen at Hermine’s Old World Confections on Government Way, Hermine turns out traditional German goodies featuring her family marzipan recipe.

For those unfamiliar with Marzipan it is a delicious sweet made from ground almonds and sugar. In the store, you’ll find truffles, candies, tortes, cakes and more. But what grabs just about everyone’s attention is Hermine’s signature Idaho Candy Spuds.

“I wanted to do something everyone could identify with, and everyone knows about Idaho’s potatoes so that’s how I got the idea,” recalled Hermine.

The candy potato looks just like the real Idaho spud shrunk down. Hermine uses her traditional marzipan recipe, rolls the paste in pure cocoa powder and shapes them into mini potatoes. She’s been making them since 1993 and they’ve been a crowd favorite since.

“We took them to the North Idaho Fair, and I

won a Blue Ribbon,” said Hermine.

The perfect take-home souvenir, the candy potatoes come six in a plastic box or in a real wood container — your choice — and are packaged with a label that Hermine created herself. Proud of her German heritage and introducing her culture to locals and visitors, Hermine keeps her recipes very traditional.

“The potatoes are the same recipe as day one, and I will never deviate from that,” said Hermine.

The Idaho Candy Potatoes are all natural, and they keep for at least six months. So even if you pick up a box new, you can still put them in a Christmas stocking down the road. The potatoes are available at Hermine’s Old World Confections, her website www.marzipanlove.com and have recently been added to the shelves at Pilgrim’s Market.

Hermine welcomes you to stop by and learn more about her unique treats, and who knows, maybe you’ll find a new favorite candy!

DESTINATIONNORTHWEST

Running the Pacific Northwest For the expert and the novice.

By Megan Olson.

Since 1990, the United States has experienced a steady growth in road race participation with over 19 million annual finishers. Whether a seasoned veteran or a novice runner, the Pacific Northwest (PNW) extends more unparalleled running opportunity than any other demographic in the United States. No other region possesses such variety, challenge and beauty in its running courses than the majestic PNW.

of its dreaded “Doomsday Hill.” The 12K race is the third largest in the nation, only after the Atlanta Peachtree Road Race and the New York City Marathon. Its popularity came early as it was drafted by Don Kardong, a local runner and Olympic marathon athlete. It started in 1976 with a little more than 1,000 runners and grew to 61,298 by 1996. This race has become a favorite and draws in the top athletes in the world.

Oregon holds one of the most unique and essential 5K experiences. Each summer, Nike World Headquarters opens their esteemed facility for the Bowerman 5K in Beaverton.

The distinctness of this race truly exemplifies the heart of running in Oregon as it is named after the legendary coach and Nike co-founder, Bill Bowerman. Runners are provided internal access to the facility as well as opportunity to meet elite and professional athletes. Since its inception, the generated profit has been utilized to support the Achon Uganda Children’s Fund.

The premise of the mission is to provide opportunity, education and a better quality of life for children living in Uganda.

There is an anonymous quote that the human spirit needs places that have not been re-arranged by the hands of man.

We can find ourselves enamored in these majestically beautiful moments that can only be experienced on foot. Life becomes serene, simple and fulfilling when running in a place of beauty. It’s just you, the view and the breeze generated by the acceleration of your own two feet. When it comes to the offering of nature’s picturesque landscape, Idaho and Washington will take your breath away.

If seeking the road race with the most competitors, the Lilac Bloomsday Run in Spokane is certainly exemplary. This high energy Goliath of a race is held the first Sunday in May and is notoriously esteemed for its average size of 50,000 runners and the intensity

by its volunteers. Many runners return each year so that they may partake in the scenic splendor only provided by this course.
