Survivors Rescue

A woman’s journey to save horses from slaughter. By Patty Hutchens.

Photos courtesy Jayme Rogers and Bobette Hobbs.

FOR DAWN DEMPSEY, growing up adjacent to McGhee Livestock was torture.

For years the property that sits on Highway 200 just outside Sandpoint was used as a feedlot for horses. “They would fatten up the horses before slaughter,” said Dawn.

the former McGhee property and just over two years ago turned it into a horse rescue operation, Survivors Rescue, Inc.

She would lie in her bed; listening as horses were loaded onto trailers in the middle of the night. Ready to take their final ride before being slaughtered.

To help make her vision a reality, Dawn raised money, sought out volunteers and started Survivors Rescue. She has realistic expectations and is methodical on how she operates her non-profit organization.

“There were thousands of them over the years. I can still hear the sound of their hooves as they loaded the trailers,” recalls Dawn. “It broke my heart.”

But things are different now thanks to Dawn’s vision and the help of many volunteers who she refers to as her posse. While she still lives on the property she grew up on, Dawn leases

“I’ve been rescuing (animals) all my life,” said Dawn of her passion for animals.

“We cannot save every horse, but we have to focus on what we can do,” said Dawn of how she rescues the horses that are at the brink of being slaughtered. “We are absolutely the horse’s last hope.”

Not only does Survivors Rescue, Inc. rescue horses, but they rehabilitate them as well.

“Sometimes I am the first person to ever touch the horse,” explains Dawn of how she gently introduces the horses to human contact.

She focuses on education in the hope that one day there will not be any horses that are brought to slaughter. “We have done such a good job with spaying and neutering, why can’t we do that with gelding?”

For the nearly 30 volunteers and those who have been fortunate enough to adopt a horse from Survivors Rescue, the place is a dream come true.

The 60 horses that inhabit the 80 acres are loved, fed and nurtured until they hopefully find a new home. “But we make sure we have a good match,” said Dawn of the adoption process.

One person who has benefited greatly from her experience at Survivors Rescue is 19-year-old Bailey Scrimsher.

This summer Bailey learned about Survivors Rescue and, as an avid horse lover, wanted to volunteer.

“I saw him at that first meeting and was instantly drawn to him,” said Bailey of a young horse named Bravery, who she calls Brave.

Brave was rescued from the Yakima Reservation where he was at the Moses Lake Kill Pen. According to Dawn, Bailey and Brave instantly bonded.

But Bailey was devastated when she heard that someone had adopted the young horse she had grown to love. Her boyfriend, Alex Hon, offered to go out to Survivors Rescue to be with her when she had to say goodbye. But what she got when she and Alex arrived was the surprise of a lifetime.

It was her boyfriend who had purchased the horse for her.

“I was shocked. I just started bawling,” said Bailey of the unique and thoughtful gift.

Hers is just one of many happy endings.

Dawn’s mission when she started Survivors Rescue was to focus only on the horses. But what she found out surprised her. “Once I got going I was amazed at what happened,” said Dawn.

Volunteers have been transformed by their work with the horses. She said there have been people who are shy and lacked confidence that have blossomed and have found a home helping with the horses.

There was the woman who, still weak from breast cancer treatments, came to help and gained strength as she worked to do what she could to assist Dawn and the others. “I then realized it is about the people,” said Dawn. “We are saving people one horse at a time.”

Each horse has a story even though they had been put aside and left to die.

But like many good things, it takes money to achieve Survivors Rescue’s mission.

First, the horses they rescue must be purchased at auction. “The auctions cater to their kill buyers so it’s important to know who the meat buyers are,” explained Dawn about the process.

Their biggest need is for monetary donations and those who can adopt the horses. “We would also love to have another horse trailer so we can rescue more horses,” said Dawn who adds that she is also in great need of feed for the horses, especially during the winter months.

Bailey encourages others to adopt if possible. “Each horse has a story even though they had been put aside and left to die,” said Bailey.

As for Dawn, don’t expect her to slow down anytime soon.

“It’s in my heart. It’s my calling. It’s what I do.”

WHEN I FIRST HEARD of straw bale homes several years ago, I will admit that I balked. Now, straw bale homes, which date back to the late 1800’s in Nebraska, are on the radar again. Though these homes were touted as the ultimate upcycled abode with a carbon neutral footprint, I was skeptical.

Still, many enthusiastic and eco-conscious people are again discussing the possibilities of straw bale as a viable building material.

Three Little Pigs Before investigating straw bale homes more thoroughly, I was unconvinced. After all, doesn’t straw get damp and generate mold?

Wasn’t the straw house the first house that got blown down in a wolf-generated windstorm? That does not sound like a home that could be habitable. Then, when I found out a straw bale home could be built for as low as $70/square foot, I very cautiously wanted to learn more.

Fireproof One of the most compelling facts about straw bale structures is that if they are built correctly, they are almost fireproof. This becomes possible because of the way the straw bales that form the inside of walls of the home are packed. If done correctly, the bales are packed so tightly that there is little room for oxygen and subsequent flames.

Reducing Carbon Footprint In addition to being almost fireproof, these homes have the potential to greatly reduce the need for heating and cooling.

This is possible because the walls of these homes are often three feet thick. Straw bale homes are easy to keep cool in the summer and warm in the winter since straw is a wonderful insulator.

Ultimate Upcycling According to Dwell magazine, “About 200 million tons of straw goes to waste in the U.S. every year. If all the wasted straw were burned, it would add up to nearly 6 percent of the total CO2 emitted annually by passenger cars” (1/1/09). Repurposing discarded straw for homes would be the ultimate way to upcycle while providing carbon-reducing structures for families.

Pest-Free Because straw has no nutritional value for common household pests and insects, walls generally remain untouched by unwanted critters. This alone saves homeowners from being exposed to toxic chemicals and the bills that come with ongoing pest-control services.

Architectural Masterpieces The final unique characteristic about straw bale homes is that they are generally very easy-on-the-eyes. Because the walls are so wide, a common feature found in straw bale homes are window seats and bayed windows. The walls are also generally covered with smooth stucco and the stucco is combined with natural wood and stone accents.

Home Sweet Home After researching straw bale homes and finding many photos of them online, my husband and I have begun to consider the possibility of a straw bale home in our future. Because they are eco-friendly, affordable, and nearly fireproof, I believe they might just be the home sweet homes of the future.

Tips for a successful experience.

By Annie Nye, Interior Designer, Selkirk Glass & Cabinets.

IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR again when we start thinking about who is coming to our house for the Holidays. And in that same thought, we begin to think about what projects we need to complete for those events. Entertaining for Thanksgiving or Christmas? Is the kitchen updated and ready to receive its guests?

A couple things to consider when preparing for holiday entertainment. First, give yourself plenty of time. If you want new cabinets, countertops, or backsplash, you are already too late to have it done in time for Thanksgiving. Most cabinet manufacturers are about four to five weeks out, two more weeks for countertops and then another week for backsplash. In all, you should plan on a minimum of eight to ten weeks to complete a project like this.

You’ll be pushing it to get it done in time for Christmas.

Planning ahead is one of the key factors to making a remodel project successful.

Pushing to try to make things happen faster only leads to disappointment.

The second thing to consider is how many choices are out there. There’s a ton of options to consider when looking for cabinets, countertops, and backsplash.

First, try to provide contrast in the room.

Whether it’s a bathroom, kitchen, or laundry room, the cabinets should contrast the countertops and the flooring. If you have dark cabinetry and trim throughout your house, going with a lighter countertop will provide the contrast needed. If you have light wood flooring, you should go with a shade darker cabinets. This prevents the room from falling into the blah zone and still allows your tones to be neutral, yet looks purposeful.

Also, keeping things neutral allows you to add pop of color through towels, vases,

18 Coeur d’Alene Living Local | www.CDALiving.com

artwork, dishes, and more. And these are things that if you decide you want to change out in a few years, you won’t feel bad putting them in a yard sale and starting over. I think your checking account will appreciate that approach as well.

Speaking of checking accounts, starting out with a budget in mind is crucial. Having a budget allows us to get you where you want to be faster. We can eliminate the tail chasing by narrowing down manufacturer, construction options, and color options that fit your budget.

So, what do you need to bring in when you begin this process? If it’s a remodel, sketch your space with a few dimensions. Indicate where the windows and doorways are in the room. This allows us to start the process of drawing your layout, implementing the items you select in our showrooms, and assigning pricing to that to see if your selections meet your budget.

If it’s new construction, bring in your set of plans and we can do layouts from those blueprints. With either a remodel or new construction, make a list of items that you can’t live without and would need in the space.

Prior to ordering, we provide you peace of mind that what your want will work in your space.

WINTER IS COMING! Tips to prepare your house for the winter.

By Jan Leaf, Coldwell Banker Schneidmiller Realty.

AUTUMN IS ONE of my favorite times of year, everyone feels happy and invigorated during the fall season.

As much as I would love to spend every afternoon basking in the last of the year’s sunny warmth, getting in one more golf game, I have plenty to do to get the house ready for the cold winter season.

1. Clean Rain Gutters. Having clean gutters not only makes your home look nicer, but it can also help prevent the buildup of ice on your roof. The faster that water can drain away, the less likely it is to melt and then refreeze on your roof or under your shingles. Clean gutters reduces the risk of infestation and decreases the risk of mold in your home.

2. Trim Trees. Look around your yard and examine your trees closely. Eliminate any limbs that could possibly knock out power to your home. Take time now to trim any weak branches that look as if they could cause problems during winter storms.

3. Check Your Snow Blower and Stock Up. Fill it up with gas, and start it up to make sure it works. Also make sure that your shovel is still in good condition; if not, pick up another one, along with salt or sand for your driveway.

4. Check for Leaks. Now that the nights have cooled down, you may find drafts coming into your home. Find those leaks and seal them up before winter. Check around your doors, windows, lights, and switch plates for cold air. It all adds up: shave as much as 20% off your heating and cooling costs.

5. Check Your Furnace Filter. Check the filter – it may need to be replaced. If your furnace filter looks dirty, then definitely replace it. During the winter months, I change my furnace filter every four to six weeks. Clean filters help your furnace run more efficiently. You can save 5% to 15% on your heating bill.

6. Insulate Pipes and Hot Water Heater.

Have you insulated your water pipes and hot water heater? This can help trim your water heating costs this winter, especially if your water pipes run through a chilly or unheated basement. Insulating your hot water pipes can help raise the temperature two to four degrees and trim four percent to nine percent off your water heating costs.

7. Add Insulation. The DOE states that adding insulation is one of the best ways to save energy all year round. Adding insulation to your attic is quite simple. Use the DOE’s Insulation Fact Sheet; it tells you how much insulation you need (the R-value) based on your zip code. Most homes require 12 to 15 inches of insulation in their attic.

Out buildings for tack and storage. 1,500 sq. ft. $339,900

8. Get Your Chimney Cleaned. Before you build a cozy fire on the first chilly night, you need to have your chimney cleaned by a professional. In addition to increasing the heating efficiency of your fireplace, an annual cleaning also helps to ensure your family’s safety during the winter months.

Chimney fires, a build-up of deposits, and animals nesting in your chimney make it unsafe to use.

PROVIDING PTSD RELIEF

Hope, renewal and transformation for body, mind and spirit.

By Annmarie Huppert.

WE ALL SUFFER from occasional, unexpected amounts of stress considering our everyday hustle and information overload. However, if that sense of overload never goes away and becomes a part of daily living, the line between run-of-the-mill stress and Post Traumatic Stress (PTS) can become blurred.

The difference between a hard time and getting stuck in PTS can be subtle. After an overly stressful event, most people re-live it, have difficulty sleeping, and feel overwhelmed for weeks. When weeks stretch into months, or a person is repeatedly exposed to stressful incidents, PTS can become very real.

It takes a team of caring, compassionate, PTS informed people to support the survivor’s healing journey.

If it’s been more than three months since a stressful event and symptoms are still present, consider learning more about what is causing them. There are seven criteria that a mental health professional uses to diagnose PTS, but you might be surprised to know: • PTS is a normal response to an abnormal amount of stress • PTS is not a lifetime sentence • PTS doesn’t have to be something you live with or learn how to manage Here are a few other things you might not know about PTS: “Aren’t people with PTSD dangerous?”

People struggling with PTS, called ‘survivors,’ are typically only dangerous to themselves. Herein lies a paradox - survivors driven into isolation by society’s views about mental health issues cannot achieve healing in isolation. It takes a team of caring, compassionate, PTS informed people to support the survivor’s healing journey. People are only pushed to the brink of violence when they believe there are no alternatives.

“PTSD is a veteran thing, isn’t it?”

Yes and no. Actually, women have been unrecognized survivors fighting on the front lines of PTS for centuries. Active duty military personnel certainly have opportunity for exposure to the kinds of trauma that causes PTS, but it also affects children and first-responders, such as police and fire personnel.

It’s not necessary to relive painful traumatic events to move forward in healing PTS. Rather, practicing how to focus on the present, understanding how the brain uses the past to keep us safe and learning better coping skills are keys to handling PTS. Think you might be struggling with PTS? Reach out! Is someone you care about having a hard time ‘getting over’ a painful experience? These simple things can help: Be generous. A simple smile, text message sent at just the right time or listening ear can be the one thing that helps someone get through a difficult day.

Become clear about how involved you’re willing to become; then let your friend or loved one know you’re available to help within certain limits.

Consider how you think and speak about mental health. People are the most important part of healing from PTS; however, ignorance and insensitivity about how mental health issues show up in a person’s life can cause unintentional emotional damage.

TAKE A HIKE! It could lead to a better future for cats and dogs.

By Chris Shafer. Photos by Dog About Town NW. SO MANY IN OUR INLAND NORTHWEST communities work tirelessly to help unwanted pets find homes. This is true throughout the country, yet it is estimated that each year three to four million cats and dogs are euthanized in animal shelters. Incidences of animal abuse and neglect aren’t limited to distant cities or regions, but exist right here in our neighborhoods. You may have wondered if there is something that can be done to diminish the plight of unwanted, neglected, and abused animals in our local communities. Yes, there is! Humane education.

Did you know that humane education can serve a community as a long-term strategy for large scale change and improvement in the quality of animals’ lives? One such humane education program is the RedRover Readers. The curriculum is designed for elementary school classrooms and is aligned with academic content standards in the United States and Canada. Educators trained in the RedRover Readers’ curriculum read stories to students and lead discussions.

It is an innovative approach to social and emotional learning and is designed to promote empathy and compassion.

In the program, children share information about animals, reflect on the roles of animals in their communities, and determine their responsibilities toward them. They are encouraged to put themselves in the place of animals and are asked questions that promote critical thinking. This helps to develop critical thinking skills, as well as increase the level of empathy for people and animals.

Dog About Town NW’s trail dog, Miss Riley (rescued from a kill shelter in the Tri-Cities), will be hiking throughout the fall and winter to raise funds to bring RedRovers Readers’ professional development training to the Inland NW. This training will be free to thirty elementary school teachers from the region. A conference room has been reserved at the Molstead Library at North Idaho College for Saturday, May 2nd, 2015.

If you’d like to support Riley’s Hiking for Humane Education, you can find the link to the campaign’s fund raising site at www.dogabouttownnw.com; look under the heading of “Hiking for Humane Education.” Like Coeur d’Alene’s primo pet-supply store GoodDog has done, individuals, organizations, and businesses can show their support by becoming team leaders and sponsors.

Contact Dog About Town NW directly for more information: Chris@dogabouttownnw.com. In addition, off-line donations can be accepted as well, and all of the donations are targeted for use in our region.

Happy Tails & Trails!

Chris Shafer is the writer and creator of Dog About Town NW, a regional blog that celebrates dog ownership in the great Northwest where outdoor adventures with one’s canine companions are typically more than a walk in the park.

Together enhancing the lives of pets and their people.

A LEGACY FOR

CHILDREN

North Idaho woman has offered sanctuary for over 100 foster children. Article and photos

by Jocelyn Stott.

SHE DOESN’T KNOW THE NUMBER exactly – it’s well over 100 - and she can’t tell you why, but when you ask Joanne Nielson what drives her passion for fostering children, one thing is clear: it’s what she’s made to do.

Throughout her lifetime, Nielson has welcomed children into her home without asking why. “When you come here, it doesn’t matter what you’ve done or where you’ve been – this is a place of acceptance,” she says.

Some of the children Nielson has fostered have been babies abandoned by their parents at birth; others had parents experiencing a rough patch. Still others were victims of drugs and alcohol abuse – often born with serious health issues and parents unfit to care for them. Many were adopted through agencies like Lutheran Family Services or Idaho Youth Ranch.

Joanne accepted them without judgment.

Now 78, Nielson has photos and a scrapbook of every child whose life she’s touched adorning her home. The faces of foster children are mingled in among her own five children and eleven grandchildren. Throughout her Hayden Lake home filled with art, antiques and quilts, you’ll spy a children’s

toy, activity center or coloring project neatly put away.

“We have rules,” says Nielson. “Any child in the neighborhood is welcome to play here, but they have to put the toys away.” From the looks of things, children are happy to comply.

Nielson said her passion for children is something she’s always had – even while growing up in Spokane and summering in Hayden Lake and after she graduated from Washington State University. When she married her first husband she said, “I wanted a dozen (children)!”

Nielson spent her early years as a mother in Cody, Wyoming where she multiplied her own brood with nearly 20 Sunday school students at any given time. She took the kids on camping trips and activities on her family’s ranch.

In the 80s, Nielson moved back to Spokane and became a foster parent. Her first foster children were four siblings whose mother was experiencing some personal struggles.

Joanne also remembers fostering exceptionally fussy twin newborns. Nielson was their first and only source of comfort for several weeks. “They required round-theclock care,” she remembers.

While the experiences were not without headaches, Joanne said she loved every minute of it.

Eventually Joanne made her permanent home in Hayden Lake. “My heart’s always here anyway,” she said.

Children from Spokane and Northern Idaho have experienced the grace of Joanne’s lake hideaway, a family retreat owned for generations and for whom Henry Point was named. Cabins tucked behind a stretch of beach on the far east side of the lake are owned by a large network of brothers, sisters and cousins: descendants of Joanne’s father, Randall Henry, a Spokane eye doctor who, along with his brothers, purchased the land in 1946.

“It’s always been a very special place in my family from the beginning. They were coming home from a war to a place of tranquility,” says Joanne.

The comfort of Henry Point is what Timothy Canty cherishes. Tim was born in 1996, two months premature with severe conditions related to his birth mother’s substance abuse. When Idaho Youth Ranch approached Joanne to help Timothy, she didn’t hesitate. But she was concerned and rightfully so – Tim was born with

Plus half a brain and suffered a condition called Hydrocephalus. Doctors said Tim would likely never walk, talk or live independently.

“He just looked straight into space, nonresponsive,” she remembers. Nonetheless, Joanne strapped little Tim into a baby carrier and took him along with her own family to museums and parks - anything to give him stimulation.

Joanne’s friend and fellow foster mom, Jolyn Canty felt she and her family could take on Tim’s care, as they had adopted other orphans. The Cantys took in Tim at six months, ultimately adopting him.

“The Canty’s nurtured and loved Tim to the point that you’d have no idea where he started,” says Joanne.

Tim is now a senior at Gonzaga Preparatory School in Spokane – defying the dire predictions – thanks to Joanne’s love for children.

In a public speech recently, Tim summed up the experience many have about Joanne, saying simply, “Nana Joanne saved my life.”

Get that Furnace Serviced!

Comfort Heating & Air will keep you warm this winter.

By Colin Anderson. Photos by Jamie Sedlmayer.

WE ENJOYED A VERY WARM SUMMER and month of September, and it’s hard to think it’s all coming to an end, but rest assured it is. It’s also hard to think about your furnace as it’s probably not the top priority on your list, but perhaps it should be. Comfort Heating & Air owner Gary Friebe sees the same thing happen every year. “People forget to service their furnace, and it typically breaks down on the first cold morning,” said Friebe. “No fun to be without heat when your house is cold.”

For 22 years Gary has kept North Idaho warm in the winter and cool in the summer. He moved his family to the area in 1992 when his brother-in-law needed help with his new business.

The pair worked together until 2004 when an unfortunate cancer diagnosis sidelined Gary’s brother-in-law, Jim Morrison. “Jim was given six months to live so when he got sick I was basically forced into running the show by myself,” recalls Friebe. Despite the overwhelming odds, Jim survived his diagnosis and today is an outspoken community cancer advocate. Jim decided to step away and sell the business to Gary and his wife Julie.

Flash forward ten years and Comfort Heating & Air is a team of 11 who are highly skilled and dedicated to integrity, customer service, and honesty. They continue to service hundreds of homes and local businesses including Fu Ki, The White House Grill, Music Center, River City Plaza, and Heart of the City Church to name a few. Comfort Heating & Air’s technicians run thorough inspections of your system, looking for cracks and leaks using remote cameras. They also help teach their customers how to properly maintain their equipment for longer life.

“It’s a lot like maintaining your vehicle. If you don’t do the maintenance, you’re going to break down,” said Friebe.

In a business that’s all about trust and honesty, Comfort Heating & Air is especially proud of their designation as an ‘American Standard Customer Care Dealer.’ Through third party

YOUR APPROVAL Through third party customer service satisfaction surveys, they’ve received a 98% approval rating and a 100% referral rate.

customer service satisfaction surveys, they’ve received a 98% approval rating and a 100% referral rate, meaning every customer has said they would recommend them to family or friends.

“This shows that our entire staff is treating our customers right and that’s what we strive for,” said Friebe.

With winter coming, now is the time to schedule your yearly tune up. A Comfort Heating & Air technician will clean and analyze your system, search for problems that could lead to carbon monoxide or fire danger, and keep you up to date on the latest efficient models and rebates through your utility company. Comfort Heating & Air’s service area is from Hayden and Rathdrum to Plummer and St. Maries and from Spokane Valley to the Silver Valley. Like their name, Comfort for your family is top priority and 100% satisfaction is the number one mission.

Be proactive and have your system checked soon so you’re not stuck in a frozen home this winter.

in Focus

HAYDEN LAKE MARATHON. Full, half, and 10k fun for runners of all abilities. By Colin Anderson. Photos courtesy of the Hayden Lake Chamber of Commerce WHILE LAKE COEUR D’ALENE receives the majority of the attention from outside the area, locals know that slightly to the north, Hayden Lake is equally as beautiful and serene. It’s a great summer spot for boating, skiing, and fishing or just cruising around to look at some of the more impressive homes in the area. With the water now a bit too chilly for a dip, why not take a look around this beautiful body of water on foot? The second annual Hayden Lake Marathon is October 18th and features one of the more beautiful courses in the area.

Put on by the Hayden Chamber of Commerce, the event drew 240 racers last year and organizers are hoping to double that for year two.

The race was the idea of co-directors and avid runners Nancy Lowery and Jason Ball.

“They got together and actually first drew the race course on a napkin,” said Hayden Chamber President Erna Rhinehart. “Surprisingly the route around the lake was almost exactly 26.2 miles.”

EVENT

Mt. Spokane Ski Swap

50th Anniversary bigger and better.

By Colin Anderson.

IF YOU’RE IN NEED of some ski or snowboard gear, mark your calendars for the Mount Spokane Ski Swap, October 24th, 25th, & 26th at the Spokane County Fair & Expo Center. An expected 23,000 items will be up for grabs with a share of the proceeds going to help fund the Mount Spokane Volunteer Ski Patrol.

New this year is a party Friday evening that includes a beer garden and extreme skiing and snowboarding movie. Reps from local mountains will be on hand offering preseason pass discounts. There will also be dozens of additional vendors giving away great prizes.

The marathon itself is very challenging with plenty of hills to climb and descend as you make your way completely around the lake. The half marathon proved to be the most popular the first time around. The 13.1 mile course takes you on the western edge of the lake past Seven Bay, Cramps Bay, and back around on Lancaster Road. There is also a 10k option that takes runners along the southern portion of the lake and Coopers Bay. All distances start and finish at Honeysuckle Beach. 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.

Tickets are $5 at the door or can be purchased online at www.ticketswest.com. Kids 12 and under are free. More than 6,000 people are expected to attend so get there early to score the best deals and the best gear. You can find more information on selling your gear or what to expect at the event by checking out www.skipatrolskiswap.com.

While the race promises to be both challenging and beautiful, runners will know that their entry fee is going to several great community organizations. “Proceeds from this year’s race will go to non-profits including the Hayden Senior Center, Hayden Chamber of Commerce, and Coeur d’Alene High School boys and girls cross country teams,” said Rhinehart. Runners from Coeur d’Alene High will be manning the fueling stations, providing food and water for runners.

There are also restrooms and aid stations throughout the course helping runners stay safe and hydrated.

Registration forms and additional information can be found by visiting www.haydenlakemarathon.org. You can register up until race day, however you will save money by pre-registering. Each registration also includes a race shirt. Marathon begins at 7am, half marathon is at 8am and the 10k starts at 9am. Winners in each age category will take home trophies, and additional prizes will be given out to the fastest times. With cool fall weather and beautiful scenery all around you, make this the race to really challenge yourself and see what you’re made of.

Memory Lane Gems a vintage store 208.777.5999

Memory Lane Opens Second Location Downtown store specializing in unique jewelry. By Colin Anderson. Photos by Jamie Sedlmayer.

LYNN RINKER LIKES TO STAY BUSY, and the mother of six is not the stay at home kind.

Lynn was a nurse with Kootenai Health for fifteen years and during that time also opened her first store inside the Silver Lake Mall. Though recently retired from nursing, Lynn isn’t slowing down and is excited about opening her second Memory Lane location inside the resort plaza shops.

“I’m born and raised here in North Idaho and have always enjoyed promoting the area to visitors. I’m also excited to give local downtown shoppers a fun unique new place to shop,” said Lynn.

At both Memory Lane locations you will find an ever rotating selection of vintage goods, gifts, jewelry, photos, paintings, and so much more. Lynn started making her own jewelry and after increased demand from family and friends, she started selling her crafts to a retail audience.

Lynn still designs jewelry and works with local jewelers on custom rings and other specialties.

“I travel to shows around the world, the Las Vegas gem show, Guatemala, Africa, and everywhere I go I look for unique things that no one else carries around here,” said Lynn. “I like everything from turquoise to diamonds and rubies; I also have a large selection of rhinestone prom and wedding jewelry.”

One of the fun things in visiting Memory Lane is the selection is always changing. Lynn buys from locals who are taking care of an estate or others who might find collectibles cleaning out the garage. There are beautiful photos of Coeur d’Alene dating back to the early 20th century.

You’ll find books from the 19th century, collector knives, newsprints, broaches, and antique handmade furniture.

TREASURES Some of the most rewarding days on the job for Lynn are when someone uncovers a treasure that takes them down Memory Lane.

Memory Lane

2 Locations: Inside the Silver Lake Mall and inside the Coeur d’Alene Resort Plaza Shops in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho 208.635.5962 f/memorylanecda

“I have regular collectors that come and see me two or three times a week to check out what’s new, because I’m always getting new treasures,” said Lynn.

Some of the most rewarding days on the job for Lynn are when someone uncovers a treasure that takes them down Memory Lane. “I had an older woman spot a piece of jewelry that was almost identical to a piece she lost as a child. It’s fun to see people’s reaction when that happens,” said Lynn.

Prices are very reasonable and although the Memory Lane staff are not certified appraisers, they can help you value an item and offer you a fair purchase price if you’re looking to sell.

With locations in the Silver Lake Mall and Plaza shops, you’re now only a short drive from checking out one of the more unique selections of antiques and gifts in our area.

A diamond ring, Swarovski crystal, original painting, or John Wayne poster are just a few of the things you might encounter on your stroll through Memory Lane, just make sure you get there soon because what you’ve been searching for might be gone tomorrow.

North Idaho College Student puts best face forward. Article and photo

by Tom Greene.

Medical esthetician Jami Hornby works with a patient at Advanced Aesthetics in Coeur d’Alene.

JAMI HORNBY DIDN’T EXPECT it to be this fast.

in North Idaho is projected to grow by 50 percent between 2010 and 2020.

In May 2014, the recent graduate of North Idaho College’s Esthetician program decided to put her resume out there – only one – and apply at Advanced Aesthetics in Coeur d’Alene. She scored an interview and, after an in-depth hiring process, landed her dream job.

An integral part of the esthetician course is hands on experience. The Cardinal Spa at the NIC Workforce Training Center in Post Falls provides a comprehensive line of skin care services performed by supervised esthetician students. Students have the opportunity to practice techniques such as facials, waxing, microdermabrasion, microcurrent, chemical peels, makeup and spray tanning. Services are open to the public at attractive prices.

“I wanted to do this a long time ago,” Hornby said. “I was drawn to this field because I like helping people feel better about themselves.

People come here for fun – for something special – and it’s nice to be able to facilitate that.”

Like most U.S. workers, Hornby has had several careers in her lifetime, including motherhood. After having children, she decided to take the leap and enroll in the 600-hour Esthetician program at the NIC Workforce Training Center. She said she was pleasantly surprised at the small classes, which allowed her more oneon-one time with an instructor with vast experience. “Having Janette as an instructor was amazing,” Hornby said. “She’s been an esthetician for a long time and genuinely cares about her students.”

Esthetics is a broad field. NIC’s Esthetician program prepares students for licensure and careers such as skin care specialist, spa professional, salon owner, makeup artist, body treatment technician, product representative, retail specialist and more.

According to Idaho Department of Labor statistics, job demand for skin care specialists

“Our students come from a variety of backgrounds, age and experience,” said Janette Watson, NIC’s Esthetician instructor.

“Watching them grow and build their skills, confidence and enthusiasm for the career is very rewarding.”

In her current job, Hornby taps into all the skills she picked up in the Esthetician program. She obtained her esthetician license in both Idaho and Washington and works with Dr. Kevin Johnson whose practice, with offices in both states, uses the latest technologies available for facial and skin rejuvenation treatments, body contouring and cosmetic surgery.

Hornby has now set her sights on earning a master’s esthetician license.

“This is it,” she said of her new career. “I feel like it’s just a good fit.”

THE PROGRAMS North Idaho College Workforce Training Center offers Esthetician (skin care specialist) and Nail Technician programs. The fall Esthetician program is in session; the Nail Technician program begins March 9th.

An information session on the Nail Technician program will be held from 5-6pm.

Wednesdays, October 15th or November 12th at the Workforce Training Center in Post Falls. An Esthetician information session will be held from 5-6pm. Tuesdays, October 14th or November 11th, for students interested in the spring 2015 course.

The Cardinal Spa student skin care clinic opens February 2nd. More information on these programs can be found at www.nic.edu/skincare or by calling 208.769.3333.

She Hunts You’re not imagining it - the woods are getting prettier. Article and photos by Jocelyn Stott.

Hours of practice go into creating the perfect shot: Shannon Guisti (brunette) and Hannah Robb (blonde) are two women with a passion for archery and hunting.

HUNTING IS LARGELY a male-dominated pastime, but that has been changing more each year as women increasingly take to the woods to hunt and kill large game.

According to Doug Bohn, Lead Bow Technician at Black Sheep Sporting Goods in Coeur d’Alene, archery in particular has increased dramatically across the board especially with women and girls.

“The young girls have been influenced a bit by Hollywood with the popularity of movies like Brave and Hunger Games, but ladies are more inclined to hunt for other reasons,” he says.

Female hunters like Shannon Guisti, 22 and Hannah Robb, 21 say a sense of empowerment, reverence for nature, and healthy eating are just a few of the reasons they enjoy the hunt. They both enjoy the intensity of getting close to their game and the fitness that is required for a good hunt.

Guisti has had a few successes, killing deer and elk with both a rifle and a bow over the past few years. Her latest accomplishment this season is a large buck in velvet. Her next goal – a bull elk. Guisti’s passion for fitness and hunting has resulted in her sponsorships with Kryptec camouflage and Matthews Archery among others.

Robb has yet to get her first kill with her bow, but she’s enjoying the experience and is working hard to get there.

Robb also hopes to get sponsors as well as be a role model for young women looking to enter the sport.

According to Bohn, a lot of women aren’t really into the loudness and force of a gun, so archery is a natural choice.

However, women are still getting into hunting with a gun more so than ever, in large part, to spend time with their father, husband and/or boyfriend Bohn says.

Jessica Herbig, 28, of Clark Fort has hunted with a rifle most of her life and has killed a few Whitetail does. She loves the leanness of the meat and spending time with her family.

“My favorite part of hunting is not the early mornings or the cold, or dressing out an animal. It’s more about feeling capable and knowing I can do something so immensely useful and immediately gratifying,” says Herbig. “You can take a lot of walks in the woods before you actually get a chance at shooting an animal.”

Costume Party!

Auction proceeds help local children battling cancer.

By Colin Anderson.

BRIAN “KIWI” KIRK grew up about as far away from North Idaho as possible. The New Zealand native can tell you plenty about cultural differences between our nations including the celebration of Halloween. “It was strange to see adults dressed up in a costume, that’s not something that goes on in New Zealand,” said Kiwi.

Kiwi is now a big fan of Halloween. He helps out at the Lion’s Club haunted house in Post Falls, and this year he’s also looking to help out kids in our community that are battling cancer. Kiwi was introduced to Sophie, a 5-year-old girl in his neighborhood who was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of 2. Her story and perseverance inspired him to hold the first annual Halloween Extravaganza party on October 25th at the Greyhound Park & Event Center. All proceeds from this event will go to Sophie’s Slugger’s foundation which helps other local families whose children are battling cancer.

OCTOBER 25TH

Her story and perseverance inspired him to hold the first annual Halloween Extravaganza party on October 25th at the Greyhound Park & Event Center.

“I got the idea about a week before last Halloween and started collecting donations right then,” recalled Kiwi.

Over the past year dozens of businesses have donated items for both a live and silent auction. You can bid on golf, spa, and overnight trips

www.lcsc.edu/cda

from all around Idaho, Montana, British Columbia, and Lake Tahoe.

Sports fans will find an autographed Mark Rypien jersey and Seahawks super bowl memorabilia. There are baskets filled with food and wine, gift cards, handmade quilts, tools and chainsaws and much more. Guests will be entertained by Spokane magician Kenneth K and can dance to live music by Coldshot. Your ticket also gets you a fully catered barbeque dinner and access to the cash bar.

“Everything will be done up in Halloween décor, and the auction items are really amazing,” said Kiwi.

Only 400 tickets will be sold for the event.

Individuals are $35 or you can purchase a table of 8 for $250. Costumes are strongly encouraged as there will be prizes given out for dressing your best. To purchase tickets, learn more about the event or about Sophie’s Sluggers, visit www.halloweenextravaganza.com.

“Everything we receive this night goes directly to these families so come out and have a great time, and know that you’re supporting the fight against childhood cancer,” said Kiwi.

Jack Barrett

NEVER QUIT

LAKE CITY HIGH SCHOOL. BY JOCELYN STOTT. LAKE CITY HIGH SCHOOL junior Jack Barrett has a GPA of 3.75 and excels as a left midfielder for the Timberwolves’ varsity soccer team.

It’s hard to believe that Barrett has ever considered quitting the game he’s so good at, but at one point he did – when his older brother Luke was hurt. Barrett explains

Barrett has played soccer since he was six years old and hopes to someday play at the Division 1 level. When he’s not wearing soccer cleats, Jack’s got hiking boots on - going after the fish and game in the Northern Idaho outdoors.

Barrett hopes to turn his love of hunting and fishing into a career by studying agriculture or wildlife biology. In fact, environmental science, taught by Jamie Esler, is his favorite class because the teacher is very interactive and, as Barrett puts it, ”We get to go outside a lot.”

Luke broke his leg in his junior season and tore an ACL in his senior year, eliminating the chance for the brothers to ever play together as Timberwolves.

Despite the disappointment, Jack says his dad and Luke convinced him that he should keep playing. “I learned to never quit and that sometimes you don’t get what you want, but you still get something great.”

The best thing about soccer for Barrett is “Everything! It is so great having all these guys and this athletic ability, out there, working hard as a team. I just love that,” he says.

Barrett says his dad has been a huge inspiration to him by encouraging him to work hard in school and be the best person he can be.

He also cites Lake City High School soccer coach Chad Beadle and Coeur d’Alene Sting coach Mike Thompson as “two of the best role models for me in my soccer career.” Barrett says that both coaches have played at the Division 1 level and are walking him through the process of making it there as well. “They’re making my goal their goal, which is just really cool,” says Barrett.

“I learned to never quit and that sometimes you don’t get what you want, but you still get something great.”

Barrett says one thing people might not know about him is that he absolutely hates mushrooms and guacamole. “It’s the texture! I can’t even look at it!”

that he always wanted to play with Luke, who is two years older, “because we both have an aggressive style, and he’s the reason I wanted to go to Lake City.”

NO “I” IN TEAM

“It’s not always about you.

It’s about being part of something bigger.”

Gibson Green

COEUR D’ALENE HIGH SCHOOL. BY JOCELYN STOTT. COEUR D’ALENE HIGH SCHOOL senior Gibson Green loves to compete.

Whether it’s pickle ball, horseshoes, bowling or badminton, Green says he (and his mom) are always ready to throw down.

Apparently, he got some competitiveness from his mom.

Green says that a few years ago when he struggled with some personal family issues, football became an escape. He was able to take the focus off of himself and onto his team. “Football was a place where I felt accepted and also a part of something greater than myself,” says Green. “I was able to pull myself out of a downward spiral by plugging myself into the program.”

Gibson says winning the Idaho State Football Championship as a junior last year was probably the highlight of his sports career thus far. “It was a big year for everyone. I mean we really faced some adversity as a team. Every week was a different battle. But some of us, we grew up together – some of us have played together for ten years - so it was a really satisfying accomplishment as a team and for the community.”

Being part of a team is something Gibson credits as his biggest life lesson learned

from sports. “It’s not always about you. It’s about being part of something bigger.”

with a nice bellybutton, then I can stand them,” says Gibson.

Green plays third base and shortstop in baseball for the Vikings, and he’s a twoway player in football, at both running back and linebacker. Green says he loves football and cherishes the memories he’s had but everytime baseball season rolls around, he surprises himself with how well he does. “I have a better chance at playing baseball long term, so I’ll pursue that.”

In his spare time, Gibson prepares for the next contest – whether it’s a state football playoff game or a heated round of racquetball - by doing Crossfit.

The 3.0 GPA student plans to play baseball in college and study health and fitness. He also hopes to travel and create a career that helps others. Gibson says his favorite subject in school was English 11, his junior year with teacher Kelly Diamond. “I got more out of that class than any other because Ms. Diamond was so real as a teacher. She was more of a mentor than a teacher to me,” says Gibson.

One thing about Gibson that most people don’t know is that he has an abnormal fear of belly buttons. “Unless it’s a cute girl October 2014 | Coeur d’Alene Living Local 41

Keys to Success Ability vs. disability.

By Landon Johnston, Director, Premier Sports Center.

“The only disability in life is a bad attitude.”

—Scott Hamilton, 1984 Olympic Gold Medalist.

I KNOW A YOUNG MAN who inspires just about everyone who meets him. Be it through his ever-present smile, contagious laughter or genuine kindness, it’s nearly impossible not to be happy around this individual. His love and passion for local sports teams is unmatched, and I challenge anyone to beat him in a game of basketball. You’ll probably lose.

Why is that a big deal? Because this person has been diagnosed with various “disabilities” and would be considered, in the common terms of our time, to have “special needs.”

Don’t tell him that, however. He’s too busy focusing on making his life and the lives of those around him better. He’s too busy focusing on his abilities to worry about being disabled.

It’s people like my friend who inspire my colleagues and I to do the work we do. It’s people like him who helped change my perception of just what being disabled really meant. Not that long ago, I didn’t even truly understand the meaning of that word. Now, as the director of a non-profit youth organization, I have the privilege of working with groups such as Specialized Needs Recreation and Coeur d’Alene Special Olympics on a regular basis.

The camps and events we’ve hosted with these groups have been some of the best experiences of my life, and I’m not the only one. We routinely have local community members and players on our travel baseball teams ask to volunteer to help work these camps. Obviously, they get as much out of volunteering as the special needs children who attend.

That’s one of the main things I learned working as both a K-12 school counselor and a child development trainer at a group home for disabled boys; that special needs children could teach me as much or more than I could ever teach them. If you don’t believe me, I invite you to attend a Special Olympics event sometime and see if you don’t have a smile plastered to your face from start to finish.

If you’re looking to volunteer locally, this November we’ll be hosting a new camp for children and adolescents with an oftenmisunderstood disability, diabetes. Diabetes affects almost 400 million people worldwide and the message of our camp is simple: if you don’t let diabetes be a disability, it won’t be. Athletes like former Gonzaga basketball star Adam Morrison and beauty pageant winner Miss Idaho Sierra Sandison are perfect examples of this, as both have excelled in their fields while living with insulin-dependent diabetes (Type I). The 1st Ever Premier Diabetes Camp is scheduled for Nov. 15th and I’m already looking forward to it.

THE CHILDREN Special needs children could teach me as much or more than I could ever teach them.

We should all look forward to helping people with disabilities and allowing them to help us. Not only are they needed for teaching us that ability is more important than disability, they’re also needed for reminding us what love and passion truly are. I’m sure my “disabled” friend would agree, but he’s probably too busy changing people’s bad attitudes to comment.

Landon Johnston is the Director of Premier Sports Center, a non-profit indoor sports facility in Post Falls. He also coaches baseball at Gonzaga Prep High School in Spokane. He can be reached at landon@premiersportscenter.org.

Triumph Over Tragedy

Overcoming grief by making a difference in the lives of others.

By Patty Hutchens.

“Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.”

—Dalai Lama IT CAN BE OVERWHELMING, debilitating, and exhausting. Grief. We experience a devastating loss, and our life’s path is suddenly derailed. We question. We get angry. We try to move forward.

For three young North Idaho adults, the grief they experienced became transforming. Although the tragedies they endured differed from one another, the three were united in how they transformed their grief into something positive. They triumphed over their tragedies. That is not to say there are not heart wrenching, sad days. There are. But knowing they have made a difference in the world has helped these young people move on and carry on the memory of their loved ones. Their stories are inspiring.

Brooke Williams first went on a ten day mission trip to Nicaragua with her father Gary in 2010; she had no idea how the adventure would change her life. While there, her father bonded and played baseball with the children in an orphanage. When he learned that the children couldn’t compete in baseball unless they have uniforms, Gary made it his goal to provide the young children with them.

Before Gary could realize his dream of returning to Nicaragua, he passed away. In a tribute to her father, Brooke and her mother Karen returned to Nicaragua in 2012 with uniforms for the young orphaned children, honored

to fulfill Gary’s vision. But that was not the end of mission trips for Brooke.

In May she traveled to Kenya on a student led mission trip. There, she worked in a clinic administering to the less fortunate.

She learned to blood type, take pulses, respirations and blood pressure. She also worked in the pharmacy filling prescriptions as well as helping with physicals at the local schools. “This trip was definitely life confirming,” sad Brooke who plans to work in the medical field. “I say this because God definitely confirmed that I am on the right path and that His will for my life is to do medical missions.”

While all these trips are special in some way, it is that first trip she made with her father that she holds close to her heart. “I would not have had it any other way,” reflects Brooke.

“Having him with me and teaching me how to be independent and experiencing all those things with him was very special.”

As she moves forward and plans her next trip later this year, Brooke knows her father would be very proud of the work she is doing. “He and my mom always encouraged me, even if it meant going out of my comfort zone,” she said. “I’ve learned to be comfortable about being uncomfortable.”

Jacob Porter also suffered a horrific loss. Last November his sister Kayle was struck and killed by a train. Just 19 years old, Kayle had a full wonderful life ahead of her. Kayle had gone to Honduras on a mission trip a couple of years before, and at the time of her death was saving money to return this past summer with her boyfriend, Brandon, and Jacob. Her love of the people of Honduras, especially the young children, was something she spoke of

often. Unable to go with Kayle on her first mission trip due to work obligations, Jacob was determined to join her on this one.

“For the first few months we were having meetings at the church after services with our mission team,” recalls Jacob. “We would talk about fundraisers and how we were going to raise the money to go.” When Kayle died, a memorial was set up in Kayle’s name that helped Jacob and Brandon and the group cover expenses.

The ten day trip involved building a pastor training center and also teaching Bible School. “I worked on the training center and in the evening helped with vacation Bible school. It was tons of fun working with the little kids and teaching them about the Lord,” said Jacob who knows his sister would be very proud of the work he and Brandon accomplished in her memory.

“I plan to go on more mission trips,” said Jacob adding that he was humbled by the experience and encourages others to take the opportunity to serve. “You will see stuff that will break your heart, and you will want to do everything you can to help out. You will also realize when you see how people live in other countries that we do not need all the things we have.”

For Natasha Wilkerson, her belief in God is what has sustained her through this past year.

Adopted from Russia at the age of 10, Natasha lived in Bonners Ferry. An avid soccer player, she met the love of her life while playing in an adult soccer league. “Josh’s family taught me to play soccer,” recalls Natasha of Josh Wilkerson, the man she fell in love with.

It was a whirlwind romance and the two married in July 2013, when Natasha was just

19 years old. “We knew we were perfect for each other.”

“Happiness was taken away from me in a blink of an eye, but thanks to God’s grace and love, it was given back to me through the joy and happiness of others.”

But her world was shattered less than a month after their wedding. She had just returned from soccer practice at North Idaho College to the couple’s Coeur d’Alene apartment when she received a message from her father-in-law. Josh had been killed in a car accident.

“My mind was automatically covered in a cloud of disbelief that could not be lifted for several months. It was like walking in a haze with no clear path in sight,” recalls Natasha.

When planning her husband’s memorial, it was decided as a tribute to one of Josh’s greatest passions, the family would request donations of soccer balls in lieu of flowers.

“Word got out quickly and soon everyone who attended the service donated at least one soccer ball. Our idea was that we would donate these soccer balls to Parks and Recreation in memory of Josh,” said Natasha.

“But the donated soccer balls ended up going

farther than just Parks and Recreation.”

Natasha had been on a mission trip in 2011 in Nicaragua, something she called life changing. “The first thought that came into my mind when I was looking at the donated soccer balls was that the children in Nicaragua, who have next to nothing, would be thrilled to have some of these,” said Natasha. So she approached her in-laws who agreed it was a fantastic idea and one that would make Josh happy. “Before we knew it we were flying to Central America to distribute the balls.”

It was another life changing trip for Natasha. “During the week that I was in Nicaragua with my team and in-laws, I figured out a lot about myself,” said Natasha who says she was angry with God. “But seeing the joy on the faces of the children and the adults, as we gave a giant pile of soccer ball to the village leaders, filled my soul with the memory of Josh, grace, and love.”

As she vows to live her life the way Josh did, with a full heart and grateful for each day, Natasha is thankful for the chance she has to bring joy to others.

“Happiness was taken away from me in a blink of an eye, but thanks to God’s grace and love, it was given back to me through the joy and happiness of others.”

Brooke Williams is currently fundraising for her next trip. If you would like to donate, please email her at williamsbellen@gmail.com.

ShopinStyle Reaping the Fall Harvest GRAB A LITTLE EXTRA FOR A FRIEND YOU HAVEN’T MET. BY JOCELYN STOTT. IT’S THE TIME OF YEAR when people start thinking about chili and cornbread, homemade apple pie, turkey and all the trimmings, caramel apples, popcorn balls and of course pumpkin spice flavored EVERYTHING. As you stock your cupboards and even your freezer this fall, consider getting extra food for those less fortunate. When every day food acquisition and consumption is a challenge – both in quantity and quality – it’s hard to even consider preparing the seasonal treats that so many of us enjoy this time of year.

According to Cindy de Paulis of the Community Action Partnership in Coeur d’Alene, those who need food really need something nourishing, which can be more expensive. When considering what to donate, consider things that are filling, healthy and easy to prepare.

“We love to get things like macaroni, Ramen noodles and pasta, but we really find that people need some protein like they can get from tuna, peanut butter or even a protein bar,” said de Paulis.

One thing that some folks overlook is the donation of deer, elk, or moose venison from local hunters.

“As long as the meat has been professionally butchered and packaged from a business that specializes in such things, like say, Tim’s Custom Meats, we can accept it,” says de Paulis. “And people love it.”

According to The Idaho Foodbank (a state network), about 16 percent, or one in six of Idaho’s residents, are food insecure – a large number of these include children. About 30 percent of that population has too high of an income to qualify for food assistance (food stamps), and they rely on charities like local food banks.

In addition to donating food that is nutritious, consider some of the challenges faced by low- income people when it comes to preparing the food. Packaged meals can be nice, but is there water, a pan and utensils to cook?

While canned food comes already prepared, many food banks say they give out a lot of can openers. Maybe throw a few inexpensive manual can openers into your shopping bag as well.

Sometimes it can be hard to imagine what life would look like if you didn’t know where your next meal would come from. It can be easy to take little things like can openers and a saucepan for granted. So, when you consider your local food bank this fall, don’t just clean the cupboards of your leftover canned beets - count your blessings and be a blessing this fall and beyond!

Sugar

The revelations of stopping. By Teresa Pesce.

This column is dedicated to the Middle-Aged among us, lost in society’s Bermuda Triangle between being young and being “older”, acknowledged only by ads selling them cosmetics to make them look young again and comfort bras to ease the inevitable triumph of gravity.

I STOPPED EATING sugar awhile back and discovered some wonderful things and some horrible but true things. I stopped being hungry all the time. When I became hungry, it was sharp and specific, and eating was a greater pleasure than ever before. I also ate less, as well as less frequently, because I wasn’t counteracting steep sugar drops. Thirteen pounds slipped away. Energy rose.

With all that wonderfulness going on, why in the WORLD would I start eating sugar again? Well, they say to find out why you’re doing something, stop doing it and you’ll find out. I found out that it was frustrating to live without sugar! It was my “blankie” of comfort at my desk job – my side along friend adding some interest and distraction to the long day. It was my weekend reward after errands. It was my after-dinner indulgence. Sugar had woven its sweet way throughout

the tapestry of my life, and I found that my life lost some joy without it.

Did I embark on a career in painting, writing or mastering dead languages to discover my true bliss and replace sugar? Don’t be ridiculous. I forced myself back into eating enough sugar to constitute a decent work break! Awful, I know. But by evicting sugar, I found out where it lived in my life. Then I knew what I REALLY needed to do when I was ready. And I did. I totally kicked sugar, and I weighed the least and looked the best and was the healthiest I have even been in my life.

After School Hunger?

Try this healthy recipe to fill up your kids.

A new study from the University of Toronto suggests that not all snacks are created equal when it comes to filling up kids’ rumbling tummies. The new research found that California raisins, when compared with other snacks such as grapes and potato chips, helped kids feel more full off of fewer calories.

“We found eating raisins as a snack prevented excessive calorie intake, increased the feeling of fullness and thereby may help contribute to the maintenance of a healthy weight in school-age children,” said lead researcher G. Harvey Anderson, a professor of nutritional sciences and physiology at the University of Toronto.

• 2 cups California raisins

I totally kicked sugar, and I weighed the least and looked the best and was the healthiest I have even been in my life.

This small but mighty snack does more than just satisfy hunger. Raisins are an allnatural, no-sugar-added snack that is fat and cholesterol free. They are also a good source of potassium and fiber. In fact, a quarter cup of raisins is a whole serving of fruit.

Aging and the Diet Equation How should we really be eating as we age? By Bruce Weaver, MPA, PA-C, President & CEO AAging Better In-Home Care.

FROM THE TIME that Americans began leaving their farms to move into urban areas in search of jobs or a better lifestyle, diets began to change—unfortunately, not always for the better. Highly processed foods purchased from large grocery stores began replacing the simple foods and products that had traditionally been grown or made on the family farms. Freshly laid eggs, meats from animals allowed to roam, whole milk from family cows, homemade breads from whole wheat flour, fruits and vegetables grown on the farm and access to locally grown foods became a thing of the past for many inner-city residents.

Convenience became the by-word of the American eating experience, with instant potatoes, sugary sodas, frozen meals, white-flour breads and pastries laden with sugar, maltodextrin and corn syrup, easy drive-through fast-food restaurants and cheap high-calorie snacks in convenience stores and on grocery shelves. Along with all this convenience and fast food, however, came the national epidemic of ever-increasing cases of heart disease, diabetes, obesity and cancer.

Research into the American diet and the effects of these changes on health has been ongoing for decades and, unfortunately, depending on who has funded the research projects, continues to present conflicting results about how we should eat. Perhaps the most controversial information is over the use of shortening, margarines and vegetable oils in our diets versus switching back to real butter or increasing the use of olive oil and coconut oil for cooking purposes. It seems that “vegetable oils”

are not truly derived from vegetables.

Corn is a grain, soybeans are legumes (beans), and canola oil is derived from the rapeseed, another grain. These highly processed and unnatural sources of fat may be doing more harm to our bodies than previously thought. And we don’t know for sure exactly which additives or preservatives in our foods might be doing long-term harm to our bodies. Decades ago, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved many additives because they were determined to cause no shortterm harmful effects. But what about 30 to 40 years down the road? Have we been eating substances for many years now that could have been contributing to the huge increases we’re seeing today in rates of cancer, diabetes and obesity?

Probably one of the most interesting findings in a recent study appears to be the role of protein in the senior population.

This study looked at the health and nutrition habits of 6,381 individuals over an 18 year period and discovered that very high protein diets in middle-aged Americans left them more than four times as likely to die of cancer or diabetes. However, it had the opposite effect on Americans 65 and older. These older individuals were 60 percent less likely to die of cancer and 28 percent less likely to die of any cause.

The take away message here may be that diet has and always will have a significant effect on health, although in what direction it’s not always easy to know. However, our safest assumption may be that eating simply, with less processed foods, along with locally grown products is the truest recipe for a long and healthy life.

Is it Arthritis?

How you can reduce the symptoms.

Written by Virginia Taft, Owner, Coeur d’Alene Hand Therapy & Healing Center. Photos courtesy of Silver Ring Splint Company.

WITH A CHANGE IN THE WEATHER a lot of us start to feel aching joints and stiffness. So, yes, it could be arthritis. Most people develop some type of arthritis during their lifetimes. However, there are more than 100 conditions that fall under the umbrella of “arthritis,” affecting one in three adults - an estimated 70 million Americans. Arthritic diseases affect the joints and connective tissue, causing swelling, pain, stiffness or joint instability. The most common are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Osteoarthritis is caused in part by wear and tear of the joints. Joints that have been injured also have a tendency to develop osteoarthritis. Bones rub against each after cartilage that cushions the joints breaks down.

Sometimes the joints look knobby or gnarled. Osteoarthritis tends to isolate in specific joints (finger, knee, hip, back, neck etc.)

Rheumatoid arthritis, however, is considered an autoimmune disease that is systemic and affects the whole body. It is characterized by bouts of inflammation with fever, pain in joints and muscles, then periods where no inflammation occurs. Rheumatoid arthritis can destroy joints and is generally more deforming. Early intervention and drug treatments can help control RA, but it still can be a debilitating disease.

How can you feel better? Reducing inflammation is the key. Diet and exercise play an important part in decreasing symptoms. There are many different “cures” out there, so it pays to be cautious. Recent studies show that use of glucosamine (with chondritin) can improve joint health.

Eliminating nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, peppers) from the diet is effective in reducing inflammation for some people. It is important to continue to do your research and consult with your doctor, especially if you take medications that can interact with each other or certain foods and supplements.

Therapy can help by evaluating your activity level, home activities, as well as assessing the need for splints and specialized equipment. A program tailored for you should include things you can do at home. Support of

joints with splints may correct or delay deformity and can decrease pain. Also, learning how to perform daily activities, sometimes by using special equipment, can minimize damage to the joints.

Hands on treatment using myofascial release can help improve flexibility, blood flow and release holding patterns to correct posture.

This helps break the cycle of pain-tensionpain that we get into when we are hurting and try to guard ourselves against the pain.

A regular exercise program including weight bearing, aerobics and stretching can help you to maintain flexibility as well as reduce stiffness and pain. However, you should not force into pain, especially when your joints are flared up. Strengthening of muscle groups can help you to stabilize joints.

Movement in water can reduce pain, improve flexibility, relieve stress on joints and reduce swelling.

Arthritis can be depressing, but your outlook on life is the most important factor in your health. It is important to listen to your body and take care of those aches and pains so they do not become chronic or debilitating – so you are the best you can be and live an active, productive life!

I want to be flexible, out of pain and active!

The Fork @ Lakeside Date night done right.

WILL AND MONICA SCOTT have seen and experienced just about every aspect of the restaurant industry. The co-owners of The Fork @ Lakeside have bussed and waited tables, cleaned, managed staff, cooked, and everything else in between. Monica helped her mother open the first sushi bar in Post Falls, and growing up in Detroit Will learned the finer points of cooking from his grandmother, mother and aunt.

“My family is from Florida so we spent a lot of time cooking up southern style dishes and desserts,” said Will. Will started in the industry at the age of 15, became a chef at 22 and is now the proud owner of his first restaurant.

When you walk into The Fork @ Lakeside, you’ll immediately feel the comfortable and intimate atmosphere. There are 15 tables and another 15 seats at the bar. Casual fine dining is the name of the game with steak, veal, snapper, sea bass, salmon, and other unique offerings. “We’ve only made one small menu change in the six months we’ve been open, people really appreciate the variety,” said Monica. You can pair your meal with domestic and local craft beer or choose from 29 different wines by the glass or the bottle. For the downtown lunch crowd, there is also a wide array of sandwiches, salads, and gourmet burgers. “Ninety percent of our ingredients come from local farmers and bakers,” said Will. “Our meats are from some of the best ranches and are mostly grass fed and grain finished.”

It took more than seven months for Will and Monica to remodel the space on Lakeside Avenue to create the atmosphere they wanted. Friends and family chipped in and that togetherness and hard work is reflected in the staff as well. “We love our crew and

hope they all stick around for the next ten years. Without them we wouldn’t have the service and quality that we are really all about,” said Monica.

Having spent their lives in restaurants, Will and Monica are thrilled to finally have a place of their own. “This is a dream we never thought would actually become a reality. We want to be more than just a place to eat, but somewhere you’ll feel at home, taken care of and leave with an experience, not just a meal,” said Will.

Priest Lake

Weekend getaway at Idaho’s Crown Jewel. By Jessica Herbig.

PRIEST LAKE IS OFTEN referred to as “Idaho’s Crown Jewel.” National Geographic calls it both “stunning” and “remote.” Both descriptions are accurate, and for the fall camper, Priest Lake has a variety of activities to keep you busy, keep you going, and keep you outdoors as long as possible!

in the Selkirk Mountains, named the Lion Tamer by Alaskan Ace climbing guide Charlie Sassara. Only a few climbers have ventured this route.

Camping

Hiking

Priest Lake is a state park managed by Idaho Parks and Recreation. As such, there are amenities such as designated camping spots, water and some shower units available. There are also a limited number of cabins situated around Priest Lake that require a reservation. Most of the campsites are situated in such a way that you feel like you are the only people in the forest at any given time, until you venture down to one of the beaches where everyone gathers in late summer to catch the last of the hot summer rays. When the sun dips down, it starts to get chilly in the fall, so a campfire helps ward off the chill. Who doesn’t love a cast iron dinner and s’mores over the fire?

The Priest Lake Ranger District maintains a trail system on federal lands along Priest and Upper Priest Lake. They’re mostly well marked, but a trails booklet can be picked up for free at the Priest Lake Ranger District office.

Rock Climbing Chimney Rock at Priest Lake is a feat unto itself. You can see Chimney Rock from the lake, and it’s the most talked about climb in the Priest Lake area. You can access the climb via the Mount Roothaan trailhead. Plan on a full day to hike in, make the climb, and hike back out. It’s not a good idea to get stuck out there after dark unless you’re prepared. From the trailhead it’s about a two-hour hike to the base of Chimney Rock and approximately a three to four hour climb.

Another good area to climb that is a little more accessible is Granite Pass. It’s about 20 minutes from Priest Lake on Hwy 57 north of Nordman. You can climb right out of the car and have your choice of 50-foot cliffs. This climb has some chain anchors in place, but plan on bringing set gear if you want to climb off route. This climbing location has the longest climbing route

The Beach Trail, which follows the west shoreline, is an easy hike that is great for families. It meanders for approximately six miles, starting at the Outlet Bay Campground and ending at the Kalispell Bay Boat Launch.

This trail is open to foot traffic only.

For a slightly more strenuous climb, check out the Mount Roothaan/Chimney Rock Trail on the east side of the lake. It caps out at 7,300 ft. with amazing panoramic views of Priest Lake. It takes a little under four hours and starts at the Horton Ridge trailhead at 5,100 ft. Bring your good hiking boots for this one. The last part is a one-half mile you’ll

Priest Lake has a variety of activities to keep you busy, keep you going, and keep you outdoors as long as possible! share with the mountain goats. It’s rocky and steep.

Fishing Fall fishing ranges from trophy size Mackinaw out of Priest Lake, to brookies out of the streams surrounding the Priest basin.

It’s catch-and-release fishing for westslope cutthroat out of Upper Priest Lake to protect the bull trout population, so check fishing guidelines before you settle your line in.

Fishing during the fall months is great, as the fish rise closer to the surface as the air temperature cools the water. The Idaho state record Mackinaw was caught out of Priest Lake in 1971.

Priest Lake embodies what fall in our area is all about. We embrace an outdoor lifestyle, making the most of the outdoors while its pleasant to be outside. Check out Priest Lake.

It’s a great place to squeeze in some more memories before winter sets in!
