In 1993, Hermine Sittel of Hermine’s Old World Confections had the inspiration to create a tribute to the state of Idaho, and the result was the birth of the Marzipan Candy Potato. Her very own Marzipan formula brings this product to the high level it is, and the customers tell the story.

Thousands of souvenir Marzipan “spuds” later, it remains one of the most popular products we sell and ship. It is still produced by hand from our own premium Marzipan and rolled in pure cocoa powder. Hermine also incorporates this premium Marzipan into her pastry as it is customary in Europe where she learned her craft.

NOTE

Publisher’s Another Amazing Summer

Relax with us!

IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE, but summer is quickly coming to an end. The kids are headed back to school, and the nights have cooled down significantly.

It seems each September I sit back and wonder where did the summer go? It may be a short season in our part of the country, but it is definitely one of the most beautiful places to be.

I have found that setting goals of what I want to accomplish during the summer months helps me make the most of my time. And I’m not talking about cleaning out the garage and power washing the house. The list of things I set out to accomplish involved spending time with family and friends and enjoying the beauty of North Idaho. I am happy to say I was successful!

It is such a privilege to call this area home. Surrounded by not only beautiful mountains and water, but also to be part of an amazing community that takes care of one another. The people are among the most friendly I have ever met. The small businesses are ones that have not lost the work ethic of generations before.

As we head into the fall and winter, I encourage you to sit back and set some goals of your own. Take in one of the great ski resorts in North Idaho. Plan a weekend to an indoor water park. Whatever it is, make time to spend with those you love doing things that create great memories. We live in a great community and are blessed with many adventures to explore, not just during the summer but throughout the entire year!

Fracture Clinic

Shriners Hospitals for Children - Spokane helps area kids take injuries in stride. By Jocelyn Stott and Kristin Monasmith, Spokane Shriners Hospitals for Children - Spokane.

WITH THE START of a new school year, kids are returning to study, group activity and sports. With the increase in physical activity that comes with sports, comes the inherent risk of injury.

Fractures are common in children. However, because a child’s bones are subject to a unique injury called a growth plate fracture, it is important that broken bones in kids are treated properly. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, approximately 15% to 30% of all childhood fractures are growth plate fractures.

Growth plates help determine the eventual length and shape of the adult bone and are the last portion of bones to harden, making them vulnerable to fracture. In fact, because muscles and bones develop at different

speeds, a child’s bones may actually be weaker than the ligament tissues that connect the bones to other bones.

well known for its specialization in pediatric orthopaedic care, recently launching its Urgent Pediatric Fracture Clinic.

“Remember, children are not just small adults. Children’s bones heal faster than adult’s bones. This means that a child with an injury should see an experienced pediatric orthopaedic specialist as quickly as possible. The child needs proper treatment before the bone begins to heal, because the long-term consequences may include limbs that are crooked or of unequal length,” says Bryan Tompkins, M.D., one of four pediatric orthopaedic surgeons at the Shriners Hospitals for Children - Spokane.

The clinic treats stable fractures and sports injuries requiring surgery for kids, with priority scheduling Monday through Friday from 7:30 - 9 a.m. This allows patients to have the best chance of getting needed surgery the same day. Normal clinic hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Shriners Hospitals for Children has been providing Inland Northwest families for almost a century. The health care center is

Luckily, access to care at Shriners has never been easier: the clinic is open to all families regardless of insurance or ability to pay for children aged 0 to 18. (Most insurance plans are also accepted.)

Kristin Monasmith, hospital spokesperson, offers the story of a young local athlete named

Sampson as an example of a situation where Shriners stepped in to help: Sampson has been an athlete all his life; he is an expert wrestler and a great football player. Sampson was participating in a regular football practice for the Lewis and Clark Tigers in Spokane. He was a starter on the freshman team and was asked to step into a position on the line for the Junior Varsity. The play was called and as Sampson blocked his opponent, he felt a sharp pain in his hip and immediately went down.

After the hit, he found he was in such pain it was difficult to get up. The pain was not subsiding; his parents took him to see his doctor who referred him to the pediatric orthopaedic surgeons at Shriners Hospitals for Children – Spokane. A surprise to his parents, Sampson was diagnosed with hip dysplasia. Even more of a surprise, Sampson was informed he actually had the condition in BOTH hips. Sampson was not sure he would be able to return to the mat or the field, “Sports are my life, the doctors told us if I didn’t take care of it, at age 30 I could be in a wheelchair, “ Sampson told us.

“Shriners Hospital has helped me get back into sports and up on my feet again – I can still do what I love.”

“It’s MY Shriners!”

Nobody knows bones... and kids...

Like Shriners.

on my feet again – I can still do what I love.”

In 2013, the hospital saw nearly 9000 kids in the Outpatient Clinic and performed over 800 surgeries. Some examples of orthopaedic conditions in children can include: spinal deformities like Scoliosis; foot and hand injuries/deformities; knee and hip disorders/injuries; hand and toe disorders; Prosthetics/orthotics and osteogenesis imperfect (brittle bone disease).

Sampson has had surgery on both hips and is stronger than ever. “Shriners Hospital has helped me get back into sports and up

Home&Essentials GETTING HOT IN HERE How large-scale geothermal projects could eliminate reliance on fossil fuels. By Sarah Polyakov.

38.36.56.4 PMS 7503

fied)

15.10.35.0 PMS 5875

MOST OF US ARE FAMILIAR with the fact that countries like Iceland that contain active volcanism just beneath the surface have harnessed the clean energy of steam to power their countries. While in the United States we have relied on some solar power and wind systems to create a few and scattered clean power systems, we have not considered the potential for geothermal energy. However, in some areas of the country, such as on the East Coast, our power grid is outdated. Whether we like it or not, we will soon be asked to think creatively to find new sources of energy.

Back to the Future In the past, steam was widely used to power locomotive engines. In terms of geothermal energy, the same principle applies. Geothermal heat is used to boil water and this process produces enough energy to power large turbines, which in turn produce large amounts of electricity.

Unlike the past, we will not require coal to heat steam, so the steam power of the future will be 100% clean and clean energy benefits us all.

The Temperature Is Rising The good news is countries like Switzerland and now Spain are experimenting with geothermal power systems that have the potential to literally end the dependence on fossil fuels overnight. Spain has begun to create an Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) that has the potential to produce 700 gigawatts of power per day. To put this in perspective, power plants within the United States generate about 1,000 gigawatts of power per day to meet the

needs of customers during the summer when usage peaks.

A Groundbreaking Idea The earth’s core is just about as hot as our sun, and the heat produced from the earth’s core can be harnessed at relatively shallow depths. For example, on average, enough geothermal energy to power all of Spain could be reached by drilling three miles beneath the surface of the earth. While it may not seem possible to drill to this depth, the technology already exists and is currently in use by petrol companies.

In fact, since the minimum temperature required to provide energy for EGS is 300 degrees, such heat could be found at more shallow depths, less than one mile beneath the surface of the earth in some areas.

Too Hot to Handle For some countries though, drilling to such depths may not be possible. In this case, other measures of harnessing heat from the surface of the earth are also being developed. While they may not be effective enough to power an entire country, it is probable they could power entire cities. In fact, the energy that could be collected from the earth’s surface without drilling would produce enough power to be equivalent to three nuclear power plants.

Finding alternative energy sources and especially clean alternative energy sources, benefit all of us. With a lot of creativity, innovation, and possibly a little luck, clean geothermal energy could be the very thing that both heats your home and keeps it cool.

FEAR COLOR? Introduce color to your home through paint, pillows and more!

DO YOU FEAR COLOR? Are you too chicken to splash some paint on your wall because it may be too “bold” or “trendy”.

The good news is that paint is one of the least expensive things to change AND it’s one of the easiest things to test out before you commit. Most paint stores will sell quart-size containers of any color you can paint on the wall so you are able to look at the color in different light throughout the day. That way, you can live with it before you commit (just don’t tell grandma).

Other ways to introduce color would be to use patterns and bold colors in accent pieces. Often times, adding that splash of color or texture is all a room needs to really pull everything together. There are lots of ways to introduce that color accent.

Throw pillows, furniture, backsplashes, tile accents, island cabinetry, glass, and more.

Just remember, not everything has to match. In fact, when you match everything, it becomes too monochromatic and you lose a lot of the color simply because there’s no contrast. If you have dark cabinets, you should contrast that with lighter countertops. If you have dark flooring, you can contrast that with painted or a lighter stain color on the cabinets. Lots of folks are going with an island in their kitchen that is a painted cabinet whereas the perimeter cabinets are a stained wood.

Adding stain glass or a pattern glass in your entry door, cabinets, or table tops would be another way to introduce color and textures.

Besides paint and furniture, window coverings are another great way to add colors and textures. It’s amazing how much a pattern or color will pop with natural light illuminating it. Most have features that allow you to still see out and won’t encroach on your views.

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

There are just a few things to remember when it comes to adding color and increasing the “boldness factor” at your home because there are things you definitely want to avoid.

• Using too many accent pillows. I’m talking so many you can’t sit on the sofa or it takes you half an hour to unload your bed. It’s simple - select a few pillows of varying sizes, shapes and patterns and display them together.

• Too many trinkets. If you have to move things out of the way on a side table so you can set your drink down, you may have too much “display”. Select a few and store the rest. During seasonal changes, swap them out.

• Too many patterns and textures.

You don’t wear stripes with plaid right? Same goes for your house, you shouldn’t have competing patterns or textures. If the sofa has a pattern, select solid color pillows. If the wall has patterned wallpaper, go with simple solid or complementary window covering.

In short, don’t be afraid to add color or textures, and if you question whether or not it’s a good choice, ask someone for our professional opinion. We do this every day and are full of suggestions.

MOVING EXPERIENCE ,500 sqft A$339,900 checklist to reduce your stress. By Jan Leaf, Coldwell Banker Schneidmiller Realty.

MOVING IS OFTEN a stressful experience even when all goes as planned. There is no magic formula for making moving fun, but there are things to do to make the process as smooth as possible.

Here are a few tips from styleathome.com that can help save time and reduce stress when moving: Picking the right transportation: You will want to make sure that whatever transportation you choose has enough room for all of your things, especially if the move is far enough that you only want to

Communicate: Once you have a plan, make sure your movers are aware of your requirements.

make one trip. Generally, the contents of a one-bedroom apartment will fit in a 16- foot truck, while two or three bedrooms usually fit in a 24 or 26-foot truck. Research and hire a mover 6 weeks before the big day.

Get the little stuff out of the way: • Fill out a “change of address” form at your post office 2 to 3 weeks before you move.

• Notify utility services two weeks prior to you move.

• Schedule them to turn off at your old home the day after you leave and turn on the power at your new home a couple of days before you get there.

• Call a locksmith and arrange to have the locks changed on moving day.

• Schedule a cleaning company to clean the new home and steam clean the carpets a day or two before move in.

• Change addresses with creditors and financial services.

• Research cable, Internet and phone providers in new area and set up appointments for service installation.

• Preorder new checks with your change of address.

• Fill and transfer prescriptions a week before.

• Withdraw cash for unexpected expenses during the move.

• Properly dispose of flammable items that can’t be transported.

• Set up account with new bank, if necessary.

• Unplug and defrost refrigerator 1-2 days before move.

• Empty gas out of lawn mower and weed eater.

• Back up all computers.

CARDBOARD CAMPOUT

Event raises money for local homeless organization. By Colin Anderson.

Photos courtesy North Idaho Family Promise.

RAISING FUNDS FOR LOCAL CAUSES usually involves a dinner, golf outing, monetary pledge or auction. You are told and shown images of how your donations are helping our community, but rarely are you able to step into the shoes of those you are helping. Family Promise of North Idaho is looking to do just that with their 6th Annual Cardboard Box City. “People choose to come out and sleep in a cardboard box for the night, and they are back to their own bed the next night. Our clients don’t have that choice,” said Executive Director Cindy Wood.

That situation really impacted me to think there are young children out sleeping in cars afraid of the dark but without a safety net.

Family Promise takes in homeless families in the area and provides them with basic necessities like meals, beds, bathrooms, and security for their family. During the up to 90 day stay clients are provided these basic necessities so they can focus on emotional stability, job training, and other important family dynamics.

When we think of the homeless, we typically think of individuals. But according to James Curb, Homeless Liaison for District 271, at last count there were 299 homeless children in the Coeur d’Alene School District alone. “People don’t want to be seen during the lowest time in their life, and those people do a very good job of blending in,” said Wood. These children are some of the more than 1.6 million in America that will experience homelessness this year, and Family Promise is committed to bringing that number down.

Cardboard Box City is a fun, yet eye-opening event that raises awareness and funds to help end homelessness in our community. Participants reach out to their friends, neighbors and community businesses and ask for pledges in exchange for sleeping outside in a cardboard box on a cold October night. The family friendly event brings people from all walks of life together for a common goal. Dinner and breakfast are provided soup kitchen style, and groups build up their own miniature cardboard

Wood remembers a specific instance at the event a couple of years ago that really hit home with her. A pre-school aged child got scared of the dark and could not be calmed down. The family ended up calling her grandmother to pick her up and take her to her bed. “That situation really impacted me to think there are young children out sleeping in cars afraid of the dark but without a safety net,” said Wood.

TREATING YOUR DOG WELL Good food for healthy dogs.

Article Courtesy of Animal Alliance Chamber of Commerce.

CONFUSED ABOUT HOW to choose a dog food for your pooch?

There are a lot of brands that claim to be good for your dog, but are they really?

Here are some tips to assist you in finding the healthiest food for your beloved dog.

Ensure protein sources are high in the ingredient list and that the meal is the pre-cooked meat, which ensures that it will not reduce anymore during the cooking process.

Grains can be a long-term source of energy and energy storage for dogs, but they can also be used as cheap filler. Any grain you feed your dog should be used in whole form so that it supplies more fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The best grains for dogs (when used in the proper percentages) are rolled oats, barley, quinoa, millet, and brown rice.

Often, low quality dog foods will list a meat ingredient first, which will be followed by several by-products and fillers. In this case, although meat is listed first, there are more fillers, which changes the ratio noted above.

Be aware that while preservatives may be necessary to keep the food edible, preservatives do not have to be artificial chemicals that might be cancer-causing agents. Avoid pet foods that use chemical preservatives BHA, BHT and Ethoxyquin. Vitamin E and vitamin C

are great preservatives that are much better for your dog.

GoodDog pet supply store of Coeur d’Alene carries dog foods with the highest quality ingredients. Their knowledgeable staff can answer your questions and are competent to recommend products that make sense for your dog.

Here is another tip: once you’ve got your four-legged best friend eating a healthy dog food, don’t give him unhealthy treats. When choosing treats, avoid those that are filled with sugars (such as corn syrup, molasses, fructose, etc.), salt, artificial colorings, flavorings or preservatives. Also, don’t forget the 10% rule to avoid too many calories, not to mention an unbalanced diet. Treats and snacks should only make up 10% of a dog’s daily calories.

GoodDog sells 95% pure “meat” treats - lamb, chicken, or beef, and they have fresh treats from Faith’s Food, a local company.

So if you treat your dog like family, go to GoodDog where their mission is “to provide safe and beneficial products to enhance the lives of your pets!”

Heart of a

WARRIOR

A fight worth undertaking.

By Jim Morrison. Photos courtesy of Jim Morrison.

FEAR FLOODED MY THOUGHTS and being; I was just handed my death sentence.

After many tests and agonizing days of pain and suffering, my oncologist informed my family of the very bad results. Stage 4 lung cancer which had metastasized to the sack around my heart. According to other cases, this is almost always fatal.

Chemotherapy was the only treatment option. Radiation was not possible.

Stunned and speechless, I wished this bad dream was over. Actually, it was just beginning. My entire life and family changed that cold January day in 2004.

Cancer is not something I had on my bucket list when I turned 50 years old.

Nevertheless, being a cancer survivor now was!

I had never smoked, which made lung cancer even crazier.

AN EVENING OF HOPE

Jim at Lungevity National Hope Summit.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing so that by the power of the holy spirit you may abound in hope.

- Romans 15:13 ESV

So a long, painful and very fatiguing journey began. During my battle with cancer, I have learned so many great things. Things I believe only God and cancer can teach you.

Yes, I am blessed to have a family that battled cancer and won.

I am now 10 years out from my “six months to live” death sentence. I have seven and one half years of remission. I still fight each and every day starting at 3am with my daily dose of Tarceva.

I have lots of collateral damage from three years of intense chemotherapy, three surgeries, and two relapses, but when I hear the bell for the next round, I walk to center ring to fight another day. That’s the heart of a warrior!

From day one of my cancer, the support my family and I received was so very humbling, but oh so very much needed and appreciated.

Cancer is very hard work, and you need help.

I also had a great mentor who took my cancer on top of his own battle with cancer.

He walked me through the very bad days of hopelessness and doubt. We spent hours together praying that we both would live long enough to see our daughters get married.

And we did!

On a very early morning visit to my mentor’s hospice room, I was fainthearted and weakened, holding his hand and kissing his

forehead, fearful that I could not win my battle without his support. He had taught me well and equipped me with the tools I needed to become the survivor he always told me I would be.

Before my mentor died, he wanted this promise from me. “Jim,” he said, “I want you to promise that you will help and mentor others like I have done for you.” He called me his angel and said because of my support to him, he lived as long as he did.

I made that promise to my beloved fellow warrior that dreary morning.

Over many years now I have done my best to help and mentor fellow cancer warriors. I wrote a book, a tool about my experience with God and cancer. I am the spokesperson for our Post Falls Cancer Center. My wife and I get invited all around the country to share our battle and victory with others, to offer hope and assure others that faith is real.

My promise to my mentor will now become a Community Cancer Support Group right here in beautiful Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho.

Local churches such as Heart of the City, The Altar and Real Life Ministries are already offering their support. Others, including Kootenai Health, Northwest Oncology and the local chapter of the American Cancer Society, are helping spread the word.

Our world today feeds on a celebrity culture of entertainment and gossip. That’s not what I’m offering you. This is a true story - I am living it every day. I want to be a part of your battle with cancer. I would like to think of myself as a mentor.

If you’ll allow me, I’d like to go with you step by step on your own journey.I want to encourage you with the hope that extended my life. Yes, cancer kills, but it has not killed me yet, nor has it you!

Yes, cancer can affect every person differently. But I also know this fact: that true faith and courage is the same yesterday, today and forever.

Jim sharing stories with Tindy at Relay for Life.

We can reach out to fellow warriors, their caregivers and families. We can offer mentoring, hope, fellowship and swap tools that each warrior is more than willing to share. I have asked a number of my fellow warriors, men and women, to help me help others and not one said no.

Jim and his wife Sandi at the beach.

I have said for years now, I live by faith, but I deal with the reality of cancer. It devastates and kills. Warrior, you need support and so does your family. You are in denial of a killer disease if you think you can do it alone.

This group will be a safe place to seek God, ask for help, and speak “cancer” with other warriors who have been to hell and came back to help you. They really care and understand. Express your fears and expect to receive the truth, love, faith and hope, to see another sunrise.

Mark your calendars the first Sunday of every month beginning October 5th for an evening of hope community cancer support group, 5 to 7pm at the Heart of the City Church, located at 521 West Emma Avenue, Coeur d’ Alene.

A Thin Line Barbershop Making you look and feel good, one cut at a time.

By Colin Anderson. Photos by Jamie Sedlmayer.

HERCULES GAINES, JR. has worked all his life, but always for someone else. Evening shifts, high stress, and late nights were part of a daily routine, but now that’s all in the past. “I decided to invest in my life, and learn a trade,” said Gaines. That trade is cutting hair, and Gaines is now working for himself running A Thin Line barber shop in the Harbor Plaza off Northwest Boulevard in Coeur d’Alene. A South Carolina native, Hercules moved to Coeur d’Alene in 2000. After bouncing around service industry jobs, he decided it was time for a change.

“I said to myself, I’m 40, I’m always at the bottom of the totem pole, and it’s time to do something for myself,” said Gaines.

Hercules enrolled at Total Cosmetology in Spokane, and while becoming a certified barber learned the ins and outs of the latest trends, straight razor certification, sanitation, and operating a business. He opened A Thin Line in January, and nine months later is amazed at how his business has grown. “I had no idea I’d be this far along in such a short time,” said Gaines.

A Thin Line wants to be known as a place where everyone is welcomed and respected. When you walk in the door, you’re greeted with a smile and a handshake. There are places to relax, watch TV, and many regulars come in just to hang out and talk about whatever. The shop is family oriented offering kids’ haircuts and a place for the little ones to be entertained while mom or dad is in the chair.

There is a service here for everyone from ladies’ and gentlemen’s haircuts, trims, or a straight razor shave, to intricate designs or mohawks and frohawks for the more bold among us. “I give our customers the haircut they want, not what anyone else wants for them,” said Gaines.

Hercules is also a go to source of information for parents of multi-racial children who are having difficulty figuring out the right products and haircuts for their kids.

THE SHOP “No matter who comes in here, you’re going to be respected, you’re going to be comfortable, and you’re going to feel like you’re part of the shop.”

“No matter who comes in here, you’re going to be respected, you’re going to be comfortable, and you’re going to feel like you’re part of the shop,” said Hercules.

Pay a little

A Thin Line recently helped out with Convoy of Hope and has also become a place to hang out for athletes at North Idaho College.

While they’re only nine months in, Hercules is already thinking of opening another location in the area. Starting a new career and becoming your own boss is a risk many are unwilling to take, but to this barber shop owner the reward is now well worth the risk.

“With owning my own business, I’m allowed to be me, which is the best part,” said Gaines.

“I like coming to work every day because the people I need to please are my clients who are also my friends.”

STORYCATCHER PROJECT. Recording the past through storytelling.

By Jani Gonzalez.

Coeur d’Alene

in Focus

BEFORE CONSTRUCTION CREWS broke ground for the new Coeur d’Alene Library, Clifford Sijohn, who was cultural director of the Coeur d’Alene Tribe at the time, christened the future building as the “Lodge of the Storyteller.” That blessing sparked an idea for Ruth Pratt, Executive Director of the Library Foundation.

“We started building a theme around that from the décor to the murals,” she said. “When Portrait of a Town was done, we thought it was perfect for capturing people’s stories and the history of our town.”

Thus came about the StoryCatcher Project as a continuation of Barb Mueller’s Portrait of a Town mural in which she interviewed 210 people nominated by the community. Ms. Pratt approached her to continue interviewing citizens on various subjects for the library. The first subject to capture was of those who served in World War II and the Korean War.

EVENT

Coeur d’Fondo

How many miles can you go?

By Melody Knaggs.

ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, Coeur d’Fondo will highlight some of the most amazing parts of northern Idaho as it travels around Lake Coeur d’Alene. The race gives cyclists a chance to participate in several unique routes that cater to both the competitive and noncompetitive rider: The Gran, the Medio, and the Piccolo. This year’s event will also feature a fifteen mile family fun ride that heads along the Centennial Trail to Higgins Point and back.

“World War II is so historic, and we’re losing the people with those stories,” Ms. Pratt said. “It’s important for all of us to recognize how our culture came to be. We hope that the stories will be another way to experience the local activities going on at the time.”

WWII left a lasting impression on Mark Weadick who was a child then. After reading an article calling for volunteers, he signed up to help interview the veterans.

“Pearl Harbor was attacked when I was four years old,” he said. “I experienced the effects of war – the ration books my parents had to use. There was limited gasoline, and my dad rode a bike to his job in town.”

Mr. Weadick’s most memorable interview was that of Milt Stafford, a nonagenarian who served as an artillery man during the Italian Campaign.

“When I first telephoned Milt, he didn’t want to be interviewed because he had been behind the lines. He had been in the thick of the allied campaign to take Italy back from the German and Italian forces, starting with the invasion of Sicily.”

The classic Gran Fondo is a whopping 108 mile route that goes around Lake Coeur d’Alene and into St.Maries before returning back to Coeur d’Alene. The Medio is an 84 mile route across the lake and over part of The Trail of The Coeur d’Alenes before merging back into the main course route. The Piccolo will be a 37 mile ride into Harrison where riders will board the Lake Coeur d’Alene Mish-an-Nock for a cruise back to Coeur d’Alene. All riders will be rewarded for their efforts at the Fall Oktoberfest celebration in Downtown Coeur d’Alene.

For more information or to register for the ride visit cdagranfondo.com.

For Barb Mueller, program coordinator, interviewing a veteran who had kept a journal during his navy tour impressed her most. He was not supposed to have kept the journal, but the act helped preserve his memories of the war. The journal also had been included in a book along with a kamikaze pilot’s journal of the same events.

“The journals were published in tandem. These two men had similar backgrounds except one was destined to die,” she said. “His memory was so vivid because he had recorded those feelings in a detailed way.”

Volunteers are editing the veteran interviews. They should be available online and at the library’s Lodge of the Storyteller room before the end of the year. The most recent subject was interviewing at the Art on the Green in celebration of its 46th year. Upcoming subjects this fall include stories of the lake, holiday traditions and recollecting the mining and logging industries of Coeur d’Alene.

Thousands of options to quench your thirst. By Colin Anderson. Photos by Jamie Sedlmayer.

WITH THE VAST EXPANSION of new breweries and wineries throughout the northwest, consumers have more choices than ever before. The industry has changed dramatically and Smokes & Suds owner Chris Meacham has seen that dramatic change first hand in his fifteen years in the industry. Meacham opened the original Smokes & Suds location in Lewiston in 1995. “I was working for a similar company when they lost their lease,” recalled Meacham. “I put a plan together, took over a lease, kept the employees and myself employed and launched the first store.” Meacham recalls only a few craft brands during his early years in the business.

When he decided to start carrying micro and craft beers, many doubted it would take off - but has it ever.

Flash forward to today and Smokes & Suds is already coming up on its first anniversary at the Government Way location just north of the Silver Lake Mall. Step through the door and you’ll find more than a thousand labels of wines as well as hundreds of beers and about every style you can imagine. A walk down one aisle and you’ll find a watermelon hefeweizen, Serrano chili beer, traditional German and Belgian beers and of course a great selection of bottles from local brewers.

“We really try and support the growing local market. One of the best parts of my job is meeting the brewers and distributors, they’re all great people to work with and always helpful and knowledgeable,” said Meacham.

With so many options it can be tough to choose, which is why Smokes & Suds offers a couple affordable ways to try several. There is a mix and match 6-pack station with a rotating selection of at least 50 different bottles from which to choose. The flat rate of $8.49 makes it easy to pick a variety of styles and find out what you like. Even better is a free beer and wine tasting every Tuesday from 4pm-7pm.

GIVING BACK “We really try and support the growing local market.

One of the best parts of my job is meeting the brewers and distributors, they’re all great people to work with and always helpful and knowledgeable.”

Smokes & Suds

Smokes & Suds’ wine section covers nearly half the store and includes everything from simple table wines to high-end rare varietals for serious wine connoisseurs.The staff will help you pair a great bottle with a meal and can help you with the pronunciation of ‘Gewurztraminer.’ Another great feature here is the bottle chiller. If you’re on your way to the lake or a picnic and want your beer or wine cold, just drop it in the chiller, and in three minutes it’s cool, five minutes it’s cold and seven minutes it’s ice cold.

The store’s humidor is well stocked with cigars from Central America and high quality pipe tobacco as well. There is also a well stocked room for home brewers with everything from equipment to ingredients.

“It’s been a great first year. There are a lot of good people in this area so it’s been great working with our customers,” said Meacham.

Next time you stop by be on the lookout for Pumpkin and Oktoberfest beers and those tasty winter beers are right around the corner as well.

North Idaho College New career paths open with NIC’s adult education.

By Kaye Thornbrugh. Photo by Tom Greene.

MEGAN PAHL DIDN’T FINISH high school. Her family moved a lot while she was growing up, and she was unable to attend school regularly. As soon as she was old enough to work, she got a job to help her family. Ultimately, she left school with a ninth-grade education.

“Teachers just kind of passed me along,” she said.

Pahl is the mother of five children. Because her husband is disabled and cannot work, her family relies solely on her income from her job as a certified nursing assistant. She’s been a CNA for 17 years, but now she hopes to become a nurse practitioner.

“Nursing is my calling,” Pahl said. “I’d like to take it further, but I need my GED to get into college classes.”

She’s making it happen, with the help of the Adult Basic Education program at North Idaho College.

Adult Basic Education (ABE) is a program that provides basic skills instruction to adults who fall below a 12th-grade level in reading, writing or math. The ABE program is available in Bonners Ferry, Coeur d’Alene, Sandpoint, Silver Valley and St. Maries. GED testing is currently available in Coeur d’Alene and is expected to begin in the NIC Bonner’s Ferry Center for Boundary County and Bonner County residents in October.

The classes are completely free to students and most instructional materials, such as textbooks, are provided. Instruction is offered Monday through Thursday,

mornings, afternoons and evenings.

“They can come into our program and not have to put out any money,” said Marty Bruner, ABE advisor. “Everything is no-cost, except for the GED test.”

ABE is more than just instruction; it’s also mentoring, advising and support. All students meet with Bruner or Outreach instructional staff members, who place them in classes based on an assessment and the students’ goals. Every eight weeks, staff members meet with students to discuss their progress.

Volunteer tutors are also available to help, and students are welcome to retake any class if they feel they need more preparation.

“We get students of all ranges,” said instructor Ramona Osborn, who primarily teaches math and science. “I’ve had basically thirdgrade level to high school-level students, and my goal is to get them all the way to college and career readiness.”

It’s not only GED seekers who come through ABE, Bruner said. More and more current college students who are struggling in math and English classes are seeking help from the ABE program. Other students take ABE classes in preparation for retaking the COMPASS exam, shooting for a higher score.

“It’s been proven that our students do better not only on the GED test, but also future college courses once they come through our program,” Bruner said.

With the support of her husband and the ABE instructors, Pahl has completed three of the four sections of the GED test so far,

all while balancing classes with her job and caring for her family, which includes homeschooling her five children. The choice to stay committed to earning her GED and taking her career to the next level has been a simple one. Pahl’s not just doing this for herself. She’s doing it for her family -- for her children.

“I’m going to get my future going for my babies,” Pahl said. “You can’t put your future on hold.”

Are You Ready for Some Football?!

A preview to our CHS & LCHS football seasons.

By Jocelyn Stott. Photos by Jason Duchow Photography.

COEUR D’ALENE HIGH SCHOOL has consistently held its position as a football powerhouse over the years, coming off their 2013 season with a 5A State Championship title and only three early season losses. While some coaches and fans may express concern that the loss of a talented group of graduating seniors will have the Vikings scrambling to hold on to their title – remember 2010 and 2011 were also state championship years for these athletes, this team is accustomed to winning despite all odds.

challenge us.” Highland beat the Vikings during regular-season play last year, but lost to Coeur d’Alene in the championship game.

Coach Jeff Vesser says this year’s group of Vikings is fast, citing speed

And remember 2013 was also the year that Head Coach Shawn Amos battled and beat Hodgkin’s Lymphoma while his son and starting quarterback, Gunnar, suffered a concussion during the season and broke his ankle at the start of playoffs. To say that some of these players and coaches have been tested is an understatement.

Wide Receiver Coach Tony Carrico says much of what they do is a matter of tradition, “There is an expectation that we put on these guys. We intentionally bring the younger ones up and show them what it takes to win games.”

Carrico uses the word phrase “confident not cocky,” carefully in his position – acknowledging that each season is challenging and the schedule is tough. The always-looming threat of injury is something they don’t take for granted.

“We’ll play one game at a time. We’ve got a tough league in the Inland Empire League (IEL) with some big rivalries within our own community like Post Falls and Lake City High School,” he notes. “Then there are schools like Highland (Pocatello) that always

Vesser says, “After losing much of our O- and D-lineman, we will need new faces to emerge and seize their opportunity.”

Coaches are excited to see what they get out of Captains: Drew Berger (LB-RB); Ryan Walde (DB-WR); Jonny Plum (DB-WR); Cole Williams (FS-WR); Myles Flanagan (LB-OL) and Gibson Green (LB-RB).

Carrico also noted that the coaching staff has a team dynamic that has helped in leading the team, “We genuinely like hanging out together as coaches. We’re a team too.”

Coaching staff: Head Coach: Shawn Amos Offensive Coord: Ron Nelson Defensive Coord: Jeff Vesser LB’s: Derek Edwards DL: Brian Holgate OL: Dustin Shafer and Corey Brown WR: Tony Carrico Lake City High School Lake City High School is home of the Timberwolves and a consistently good football team led by Head Coach Van Troxel. Troxel’s team finished their 2013 season 6 and 3, putting them among Idaho’s top 10 teams. Lake City has seen success at the state level as well, winning championships in 2002 at the 4A level and 5A in 2006.

Coach Van Troxel says his wolf pack is looking “big, physical and fast” and ready to give chase to a challenging schedule of teams - many of which are in his own back yard. “There’s nothing easy in this schedule,” he notes.

Troxel says the reigning state champ on the other side of town is certainly one to beat this season, but he notes powerhouses like Post Falls and Shadle Park High School in north Spokane are going to be teams to keep an eye on.

“North Idaho is playing as good or better football than the big schools in the southern part of the state.” Troxel also mentions that with the new playoff system – three 5A teams from North Idaho could potentially make the Idaho High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) state playoffs.

The Timberwolves’ 15-man leadership team consists of seniors: Drew Shipley (QB); Sam Slusser (CB-WR); Jerry McGee (HB-CB); Kirk McKenzie (LB-RB); Michael Goggin (QB-WR); Conner Newby (RB-S); Dylan Torres (LB-TE); Blake Brunetti (LB-OL); Jacob Pierard (OL); Jacob Ramey (OL-DL); Zion Dixon (OL-DL) and juniors: Colin Hunter (QB-WR); Scott Helsper (HB-DB); Kyle Swenson (OL-DL) and Connor Melius (OL-DL).

Troxel says McGee is his obvious superstar, the 5’9”, 175-pound senior holds the Idaho State 400 meter record in track and has been a threeyear starter for the Timberwolves. The team was also fortunate to pick up transfer student Sam Slusser, who moved to the area from Centennial High School in Boise. Another player to watch according to Troxel: the 6-foot, 210 Dylan Torres. “ He’s going to be very exciting,” says Troxel. “I’m looking forward to seeing what he (Torres) does this year.”

Jason Duchow

JASON DUCHOW, known throughout North Idaho for his excellent photography and as a frequent contributor to Living Local Magazines, has been recognized twice in the past few months by the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP). Earlier this summer his photo of a Sandpoint High School soccer player was chosen as one of the NAPP’s Photos of the Week. In late August, Duchow was again recognized for the lighting he chose in a photo he shot for a young man’s senior pictures. “The balance of ambient light of the sunset with his off camera lighting gives the image a richness…” stated the NAPP on its website. The NAPP is a trade association and the leading resource for Adobe Photoshop and Photoshop Lightroom training, news and education.

With more than 75,000 members in 106 countries, NAPP is the largest digital imaging and graphics association worldwide and receives thousands of submissions per day. To have a photo chosen for recognition in their weekly highlights is truly an honor. People work for years to be thought of as a ‘Master’ of Photoshop because there’s so much to know about it.

Jason Duchow’s extraordinary photography skills capture in a very special way those memories that will last a lifetime. Congratulations Jason on an honor that is well deserved.

EXPERIENCES All humans must learn to handle failure at a young age so that we can rely on those experiences as we get older.

Keys to Success Overcoming adversity and failure.

By Landon Johnston, Director Premier Sports Center.

“SHOW ME SOMEONE who has done something worthwhile, and I’ll show you someone who has overcome adversity.” – Lou Holtz, Hall of Fame Football Coach I use quotes often when working with young athletes and this one, uttered by former University of Notre Dame football coach Lou Holtz, is one of my all-time favorites. Coach Holtz knew a thing or two about doing things worthwhile, overcoming adversity, and finding success. It’s what he used to build one of the most acclaimed football programs in the history of the NCAA: The belief that learning how to handle failure and adversity are the keys to ultimately becoming successful.

Yet, as I work with more and more players, parents and youth coaches, I find that failure

is considered almost a dirty word; one that no one wants to use. And I’m no expert but after several years spent working as a K-12 school counselor, certified child development trainer and high school baseball coach, I’ve seen more kids grow and develop from facing adversity than I have from watching them continually win. Simply put, all humans must learn to handle failure at a young age so that we can rely on those experiences as we get older.

The fact is that none of us succeed at everything we do. Be it in athletics, in our professions, or in our everyday lives, we are constantly faced with challenges that we must adapt to and overcome. It’s the nature of being an adult. But where do we learn these life skills? Where does the single mother who recently lost her job learn to do whatever

she has to in order to put food on the table?

Where does the military father who’s being deployed overseas learn to say goodbye to his family for the next 12-15 months? These skills are not inherent; they can be learned and, like anything else, the best time to learn them is as a child when the stakes aren’t quite so high.

As someone who’s dedicated my life to helping children, I’ve learned to let them experience equal amounts of success and failure. I was taught to handle both early on by my father, who loved to throw challenges my way as a young boy. For example, he’d put me through a drill that was specifically designed to make me fail then say, “Winning and success are fun, sure. It makes everyone feel good. But it’s how you act when you aren’t successful that really matters.”

The message was, if we never fail as children, we will never develop the skills to become successful adults. And if the goal of youth sports is to develop a child’s skills for the future, then encourage your child to learn to handle whatever comes their way with class and integrity. As a parent, teaching them to handle failure and adversity might be the most important thing you ever do.

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. Join the discussion about youth sports by attending PSC’s 3rd Annual Open House and Free BBQ on Sunday, September 28th from 6-8pm. Email landon@premiersportscenter.org for more information.

Chris “Boomer” Wilson

Smithsonian Museum Honors Former North Idaho resident; the inspiration for Top Gun’s character, Viper.

By Patty Hutchens. Photos courtesy of Wilson Family.

HE WAS A LIVING LEGEND. Christopher “Boomer” Wilson, a resident of Hope, ID at the time of his 2010 death, was a 28 year veteran of Naval aviation, having accumulated more than 5400 hours in the air for the US Navy and taking the controls of 30 different types of aircraft.

People throughout the world caught a glimpse of Wilson’s distinguished career as we flocked to movie theaters to see the 1986 hit Top Gun, which portrayed Tom Cruise as a fighter pilot who attended the famous Naval Fighter Weapons School. It was Wilson who was the inspiration for “Viper,” the commander of Top Gun played by Tom Skerritt.

In addition to leading the Navy Fighter Weapons School, Top Gun, Wilson logged over 150 missions over Vietnam and Laos, was a lead force in the ACEVAL/AIMVAL joint missile and tactics test at Nellis AFB in Nevada, earned six Air Medals for heroism, and served as the Commander for Fighter Squadron TWO. But to Wilson’s family, his career, although remarkable, was nothing in comparison to the man he was. To them he was simply known as dad, Chris and Pop Pop. A man who enjoyed nothing more than being with friends and family and playing and joking with his grandchildren. “He was such a humble man,” said Kim Russo, Wilson’s daughter and a resident of

Sandpoint. “In fact I did not even know of many of his accomplishments until his funeral.”

Growing up, Kim said they were primarily stationed in San Diego with the exception of one year when the family lived in Las Vegas.

Following her parents’ divorce when she was 12 years old, Wilson was stationed in Hawaii and finished out his career working at the Pentagon.

“I remember he would fly in before the ship arrived,” said Kim of the memories of greeting her dad as he returned from a mission. “We would run to give him a big hug when he got off the plane.”

Kim said she and her siblings did not really know what their dad did on a daily basis.

“We just knew he was dad and that he had a cool job,” said Kim. Wilson’s wife Tere said she too knew little about his career. But since his untimely death from cancer, she has been privileged to learn more of Wilson’s career from many of Boomer’s comrades.

“His early F-8 days and flying missions in Vietnam were most likely some of his fondest and most challenging times,” said Tere. “He always felt badly and personally challenged about his long cruises away from his family.”

She adds, however, that Wilson felt honored to be able to contribute to something that was bigger than his own life and personal goals - the Navy and the United States of America.

When she was about 13 years old, Kim recalls learning a bit more about the important work her dad did when his career was depicted in Top Gun. “I got to go to the set and meet Tom Cruise during the volleyball scene,” said Kim, who was likely the envy of all her teenage friends.

“Jack Epps wrote the script and spent two months with Boomer and the instructors at the Top Gun school,” explains Tere. “He used many of Boomer’s stories along with the other guys’ stories while writing the script.”

In fact the famous coffee cup spilling fly-by was Boomer’s story, however significantly toned down from the actual incident. During his young days as a pilot, Boomer broke the sound barrier at the Cubi Point Officers Club in the late sixties, and while doing so he broke a huge plate glass window and many light bulbs throughout the base. “Hence the call sign ‘Boomer’ was born. Luckily he never was blamed for the incident!”

In June, Kim and many members of her family traveled to Washington, D.C. to attend the dedication of an exhibit at the Smithsonian Museum honoring her father and his service to the United States Navy.

It is an honor that gives the family great pride. Kim credits her aunt and uncle, Dr. Richard and Sue Sugden, with spearheading the effort to have her father recognized in such a monumental way. “Our family is very appreciative of what they have done to get the ball rolling,” said Kim. Credited with over 1000 carrier landings and holding the honor as one of the first to

The June ceremony included a formal presentation of his helmet from the family to the Smithsonian. In attendance were many friends and family members, including Wilson’s son Todd who has followed in his father’s footsteps and is a Navy Captain currently stationed in England. The day included a luncheon, a discussion of Wilson’s stellar career and a tour of the museum.

When asked what Boomer would have thought of this honor, Tere did not hesitate.

“I know exactly what he would have said. He said it several times over the years when he was recognized or honored,” recalls Tere. “(He would have said) Oh no I don’t deserve this! There are a lot of other guys who are as qualified if not more qualified that I am!”

Tere explained that her husband shied away

from the attention he received from his notable career, but the family could not be more proud of the man they loved dearly and miss every single day.

“Our family is truly humbled, honored and extremely proud of Boomer, his accomplishments as a Navy Officer and a loving father, husband and friend. He was one in a million,” said Tere.

During the last 14 years of his life, Boomer and Tere called Hope, Idaho home for much of the year. “We fell in love with Sandpoint and Hope after researching the area for a retirement home,” said Tere. “The multi-seasonal recreation and the unpretentiousness of the community drew us here as well”

Wilson was very active in the community, specifically at the Bird Aviation Museum where he enthusiastically served as a volunteer.

“When Drs. Pam and Forrest Bird opened the museum, Boomer started the docent program for them,” said Tere.

“His favorite part of serving as a docent was giving tours to the young students who came through the museum.”

With all of his accomplishments, awards and honors, Kim said to her and the family what means the most is the type of man her father was. “So many people looked up to him because of his career, but that’s nothing compared to the person he was. A loving and dedicated father, grandfather and husband,” said Kim. “His was a life cut too short.”

ShopinStyle Packing Plight PAPER VERSUS PLASTIC VERSUS OTHER

BY JOCELYN STOTT. “I WAS SO EXCITED that I remembered my reusable grocery bags! I almost expected balloons and confetti to be released from the ceiling tiles over the cashier’s stand,” I heard a friend say. “Shouldn’t I get a discount or something?”

Isn’t that what it feels like sometimes when you actually remember to make a step toward habit change?

Years ago we started to hear the question, “Paper or plastic?” at the checkout stand. It was suggested that we avoid the overuse of paper products because trees died to provide such a thing. So we “evolved” to cheap, flimsy plastic that seemed so modern. So noisy. So breakable. How long again does it take to replace the raw materials that comprise plastic?

“But I can carry like 10 at a time. I can see through them too,” says the teenager.

Now plastic is the default choice. It’s cheap and easy. Many people say they use the bags for other things after they’ve carried home the groceries.

That scuzzy plastic bag that mars a beautiful landscape takes flight far too easily with a well-placed gust of wind after the pack of gum has been removed.

But the paper bag involved the death of a beloved, oxygen-producing tree.

The simple task of choosing paper or plastic has become so fraught with implications.

Sandpoint Super 1 Foods’ Manager Steve Furin says his store does use plastic, but offers customers the option of paper bags too. In an effort to help with the environment, Furin said his store also sells the fabric reusable bags, something which more and more customers are utilizing. “The percentage of customers using fabric bags is getting higher and higher,” said Furin.

There are those who switch up their bag preference – sometimes utilizing a paper bag, and other times reusing the plastic ones for small garbage can liners or to clean up after their pets while out walking.

So how about those reusable bags?

Some stores, such as Natural Grocer in Coeur d’Alene, don’t supply either option but will offer a box for your items if you didn’t bring reusable.

If you’re looking to make a personalized statement, as well as be conscious of overusing bags, talk to Bobbie Nearny. Bobbie sells her machine-embroidered bags at many of the local farmers’ markets.

Bobbie says her bags are 100 percent organic cotton and soy dyed to create a “rustic look.” Nearny buys them in large quantities in two sizes to create personalized shopping bags that last for years.

Look for Bobbie’s creations most weekends at the Kootenai County Farmer’s Market or email her RandBNearny@yahoo.com for more information.

Middle-Aged Musings They don’t get it. 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.

“THERE IS ALWAYS A HEALTHFUL CHOICE,” chirped the diet diva. She was telling weight-loss hopefuls how to cope with a social world filled with tempting food. Her idea was that you could always go to the party and have a great time! Just pass by all the delicious hors d’oeuvres and go straight to the raw broccoli. Or attend the art center event catered by local restaurants with a dizzying array of delights, and go straight to the raw broccoli.

“If your hostess serves dessert, give it a pass!” Give it a pass? Why does one go out to socialize if not to share great food, drink and conversation? If it’s cut back to conversation, one can stay home and visit chat rooms. I’m saying, where is the FUN if all the fun food is deleted from your life?

One doctor, when he learned I was going to a special steakhouse for dinner and was concerned over not being able to partake of the famous menu, frowned and said irritably, “You can eat as much as you want! Just ask for fresh fruit, and eat watermelon until you’re full!”

This man was built like a stork and would not recognize a food craving if it held him up by gunpoint and demanded satisfaction.

Watermelon? In a steakhouse? With grilled steaks seared to perfection, spicy Texas beans and crisp, deep-fried potato strips plunged into fresh-chopped salsa? Oh sure. That’ll do it. What planet do these people come from? They are the Spocks of the eating world. They eat by nutritional factors and calorie counts, from sustenance needs and not from responding to seductive fragrances and delicious flavors.

September 2014 | Coeur d’Alene Living Local 53

Of course there is always a healthful choice!

But sometimes, who cares?! If there isn’t a social life beyond broccoli, I am going to become a recluse. It isn’t that these wellmeaning Spockians are wrong, it’s just that they dispense this advice a bit too glibly. It is HUGE to ignore delicious food.

So if you are strong enough to munch carrots and sip water at social events, allow me to bestow a wreath of highest praise upon your noble brow and rise to begin the standing ovation. If you add some brie and crackers and a small assortment of hor d’oeuvres, allow me to say that the world will not end.

If you collapse completely and add chocolate truffles beside a slice of raspberry-drizzled cheesecake, allow me to say I understand. You be understanding, too. There will be a next time when you navigate the calorie-laden waters of your social life more skillfully. But

This man was built like a stork and would not recognize a food craving if it held him up by gunpoint and demanded satisfaction.

never let the Spockians make you feel bad by making it all seem easy. It isn’t. And Yoda was wrong. There IS a try, for every success is a completion of a try.

Our Lives After September “9-11”

Bringing a sense of gratitude to all we serve. By Bruce & Charlene Weaver, Owners, Aaging Better In-Home Care.

THE DAY THAT THE TWIN TOWERS in New York fell from a terrorist attack, we were living and working in the Washington D.C. area. Bruce was stationed at the Air Force Surgeon General’s office at Bolling AFB, and Charlene was working as the Executive Chief Nurse at Georgetown University’s medical complex in Ballston.

Charlene didn’t do her usual commute into D.C. that morning from where we lived in Fairfax, Virginia, because she had to have blood drawn at Bolling AFB, which is located just southeast of the D.C. area. In order to go back west to Ballston and her office after leaving the base, she had to take the southern section of the Beltway across the Potomoc River and then drive north on an intersecting freeway that took her directly around the Pentagon and on to Ballston shortly thereafter.

Ten minutes after driving by the Pentagon, the third plane involved in the terrorist attacks flew low over the section of freeway she had just driven by, causing cars to swerve into one another which resulted in a massive pile-up at that busy time of morning. The aircraft went on to strike the outer “E-ring” of the Pentagon, killing 184 active duty and civilian individuals working in that section. The plane came in at such a low angle in order to hit the building that it skimmed just above the freeway, knocking four or five light posts into the oncoming lanes of traffic. These obstacles resulted in a number of additional deaths on the freeway that morning, deaths that were never included in the statistics of attack victims. Perhaps they should have been.

Charlene counts herself fortunate that she drove by the Pentagon minutes before the plane flew into it and is here today to share her “9-11” story. Bruce is just as fortunate.

Over his three years at the Air Force Surgeon General’s office, he had to walk through that section of the E-ring many, many times in order to attend meetings at

the Pentagon. He could just as easily have been walking by again when the plane hit and been listed as one of the active duty officers lost in the line of duty to a terrorist attack.

Being there during the panic and hysteria that gripped the D.C. area immediately following the attacks, we both decided we would never again take for granted the time we have together and to bring that sense of gratitude to our family, friends and all those we now serve in our in-home care business.

Providing home care to veterans, their spouses and north Idaho residents has been one of the most important privileges we’ve ever had. Our clients have ranged from disabled infants needing around-theclock nursing care at home to a 102-yearold lady that our caregivers helped bath and dress and feed in the comfort of her own home during the ten years we provided her care. The number of wonderful clients and caregivers we’ve had over the years has been a blessing and as we reflect back to that September 11th in Washington D.C., we both give thanks for being unharmed and for the wonderful communities in north Idaho we’ve been able to serve over the past 11 years.

Bruce Weaver is a retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel and practiced in Emergency Departments and Family Practice Clinics across the country as a certified Physician Assistant (PA-C) for 20 years. During his last nine years on active duty, he was asked to implement and manage the Air Force’s Health Promotion program for all active duty and dependents, finishing his career at the Air Force Surgeon General’s office in Washington D.C. as Chief, Health Promotion and Population Health. He currently owns and manages one of the largest in-home care agencies in north Idaho with his wife, Charlene, who is an advanced practice RN.

Pain Free Living

Myofascial Release. Brought to you by Coeur d’Alene Hand Therapy and Healing Center.

TO UNDERSTAND THIS TECHNIQUE, it is important to understand the fascial system. Myo means muscle, and fascia (pronounced “fasha”) is the connective tissue. The fascia is a specialized system of the body that has an appearance similar to a spider’s web or a sweater. Fascia is very densely woven, covering and interpenetrating every muscle, bone, nerve, artery and vein as well as all of our internal organs including heart, lungs, brain and spinal cord. The most interesting aspect of the fascial system is that it is not just a system of separate coverings. It is actually one structure that exists from head to foot without interruption. In this way, you can begin to see that each part of the entire body is connected to every other part by the fascia, like the yarn in a sweater.

Fascia also plays an important role in the support of our bodies, since it surrounds and attaches to all structures. These structures would not be able to provide stability without the constant pull of the fascial system. In fact, our bones can be thought of as tent poles which cannot support the structure without the constant support of the guide wires (or fascia) to keep an adequate amount of tension to allow the tent (or body) to remain upright with proper equilibrium.

Trauma, such as a fall, whiplash or surgery can cause tight areas in the fascia. This system is also affected by repetitive motions or just habitual poor posture which over time have a cumulative effect. The changes caused in the fascial system influence the skeletal framework for our posture. The fascia can exert excessive pressure, producing pain, restriction of motion, decreased flexibility and is a determining factor in our ability to withstand stress and strain.

Myofascial Release is a gentle, safe and highly effective, whole body, “hands on” approach. It allows therapists to look at each patient as unique

The most interesting aspect of the fascial system is that it is not just a system of separate coverings. It is actually one structure that exists from head to foot without interruption.

Yes!

with focus on the whole body rather than just the injured part. Often where people feel the pain, is not where the problem really is located. MFR utilizes varying pressure from heavy to light to eliminate pain and restore motion as well as deepen the relaxation response.

Myofascial Release is used to treat acute pain due to accident or injury as well as chronic neck, back, and sciatic pain. It is also used to treat arthritis, Fibromyalgia, sciatica, TMJ, post-surgical scar and lymphedema, just to name a few. Myofascial Release, or “MFR”, is a very effective hands-on technique that provides sustained pressure into myofascial restrictions eliminating pain and restoring motion. It also allows the body to move to release holding patterns.

Patients may be seen one-on-one with a therapist or may opt for co-treatments with two therapists. During these handson treatments therapists may use other manual techniques and movement therapy.

The patient is an active participant in the treatment program. Each patient should be given a home program to maximize benefit from therapy. This promotes independence through education in proper body mechanics, enhancement of strength, flexibility, as well as postural and movement awareness.

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

Through our "Pain Free Living" program we make a donation to local charities as our way of giving back to the community.

The

Well•ness

Bar

Fresh and fabulous.

By Colin Anderson.

ON JULY 16TH, Monica Engebretsen received a very unique birthday gift; a grand opening for her new business. Monica and husband Tait not only celebrated her birthday, but the birth of their brand new juice bar that they hope inspires the community to make good eating choices. The Coeur d’Alene local and mother of two said it was during her most recent pregnancy that a push to make the bar a reality really kicked in.

“I was pregnant and was craving juices all the time,” recalled Monica. “I wanted a place to get fresh squeezed juice and healthy options, and now I’m standing in the middle of it!”

The Wellness Bar is about as fresh as it comes. Once you’ve placed your order, fruits and vegetables are hand chopped in front of you before going into the juicer. The bar works with locals like Charlie’s Produce and Peace Natural Farms and also picks up as many weekly ingredients as they can from the Kootenai Farmers’ Market.

a loyalty card and after you buy four drinks, your fifth one is free.

“We want to keep North Idaho moving and healthy which is why we give the discounts for riding your bike in to see us,” said Monica.

The space is open, bright and comfortable, and there is a room to kick back or have an out of office meeting. While the 4th Street location has only been open a couple months, Monica and Tait are already looking to expand to Hayden and Post Falls and are working on a delivery system as well. As far as fresh goes, it doesn’t get much fresher than Wellness Bar. Monday –Friday 7am – 7pm Saturday 8am-3pm | Sunday 8am – 1pm 312 4th Street, Coeur d’Alene 208.665.9098

“Everything here is made to order, fresh ingredients made right in front of you,” said Monica.

On top of fresh juices, Wellness Bar also offers smoothies and protein shakes, baked goods, salads, and caters to the dietary needs of gluten free and paleo. They also have a full espresso bar which is organic and kosher and offers milk alternatives such as almond, soy, rice, and hemp. You can order an organic drip coffee for just $1.

All smoothies and juices are just $5.99, but you can also save some money each time you come in. Ride your bike and you’ll get 50 cents off, or purchase a reusable glass and its 50 cents off each time you fill it up. Pick up 62 Coeur d’Alene Living Local | www.CDALiving.com

Local sisters Courtney and Mary and their friend Kelsey from Kansas City are loving their juices!

Pflaumenkuchen (Plum Cake) GatherIngredients: • • • • •

3-1/2 C flour 1-1/4 C milk 1/3 C sugar 1/2 t salt 1/4 C butter

• 2 pkgs. active dry yeast (1/4 oz. ea.)

• 5 lbs. Italian plums • Powdered sugar for topping

PutItTogether: Preheat oven to 150 degrees.

Mix the butter, sugar and milk in a saucepan over low heat until warm but not hot. Add the two packages of yeast and stir to completely dissolve sugar and yeast.

Sift the salt and a portion of the flour into a large bowl. Push flour toward the sides of the bowl to form a hole in the middle; pour in the liquid mixture. Starting from the inside edge of the hole, gradually stir the flour into the liquid, forming a soupy consistency like thin cake batter.

Turn off the oven. Cover the bowl with a towel; set in the oven with the door open for about 20 minutes until the mixture starts to bubble and rise—it should about double in size and consistency. Take the mixture out of the oven and turn oven back on at 200 degrees.

Mix the doubled batter with the rest of the flour, first with a spoon and then with your hands, until it forms a ball and no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl. Knead for five minutes.

Turn the oven off again. Put the dough ball back into the bowl, cover with a towel, and place in the oven with the door open until dough almost doubles again.

Take out of the oven; turn the oven back on at 200 degrees. Knead the dough for five more minutes. Roll out into an oiled 11x16 inch pan and push the edges up the sides, like making a deep-dish pizza.

Cut the Italian plums in half, leaving one side connected. Remove the pit and slit each half part way down (see diagram). Stand the plums in the dough with the points up, filling the sheet.

Turn the oven off and put in the cake, this time with the door closed. Let rise one more time till the edges are puffy (about 20 minutes). Now turn the oven back on at 350 degrees, and bake for about 30 minutes until the crust starts turning brown.

Remove cake from the oven and cool to room temperature. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

One of the hidden gems you can see around Sandpoint, Idaho.

The Selkirk Loop

Weekend getaway road trip. By Colin Anderson.

SUMMER IS WINDING DOWN, kids are back in school, and if you’re lucky you used up most of your vacation time on another beautiful, albeit hot, north Idaho summer. A weeklong vacation probably won’t come around again until the holidays, but that doesn’t mean your travel time should come to an end. There is so much to explore in this area, and if you’ve got an extra day off in the coming weeks, why not hop in the car for a good old fashioned road trip and let the Selkirk Loop be your guide.

Rated as one of the best scenic drives in the west by a myriad of publications and online reviews, the Selkirk Loop takes you across North Idaho, Southern British Columbia, and Northeastern Washington. If you complete the full 280 mile loop, you’ll travel through 75 unique communities none of which have a population of more than 10,000. In between the small town charm, you’ll see some of the most dynamic forests, mountain ranges and bodies of water in the northwest. As Sandpoint is at the southern most portion of the loop, it’s a logical place to start your journey.

From Sandpoint head west to Priest River and then cross into Washington. The route takes you along the scenic Pend Oreille River and into the communities of Usk and Cusick. Both lie along the Kalispel Indian reservation, which operates a buffalo ranch and fish hatchery. This is also a great start for bird watchers as osprey and eagles are spotted here along the river.

As you continue heading north through Washington, you pass through Ione, Tiger, and Metaline Falls. These communities showcase the rich logging history of the area which has slowly diminished over the decades. Still there are plenty of stops for history junkies to learn about old mills and logging outfits. While hotels and bed and breakfasts are few and far between, there are plenty of areas to camp, or you can head north towards the Canadian border.

Once you’ve crossed the border, you’re heading toward Nelson, BC, a favorite of many weekend travelers in the area. Nestled along Kootenay Lake and surrounded by mountains, this is a

place people keep coming back to again and again. The historic downtown features structures still standing from the early 1900’s, and self guided walking tours provide you with all kinds of fun history. Recreation abounds here with golf courses, nearby ski hills, hiking and biking and plenty of water sports as well. There is great theatre, many wonderful restaurants, and a festival just about every weekend.

Back on the road you head east with the town of Balfour as your next destination. If you’d like to tack on a few more miles to the trip, a drive into Ainsworth hot springs for a relaxing soak or a tour of Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park are great side trips. Once you hit Balfour, and in order to complete the loop, you’ll have to travel by boat. Ferries depart for Kootenai 15 times per day, but on busy travel weekends you might have to wait for the next one. Once across, you’ll continue your drive along beautiful Kootenay Lake. If you are not interested in camping, you will most likely stop in Creston, BC for another night on the town. Creston is lined with fruit trees, and the agricultural celebrations go on throughout the year. You’ll find all sorts of

delicious food and wines here, or if beer is more your thing, you can tour the Kokanee Brewery located just outside town.

As you cross back into Idaho and familiar territory, you’re probably already planning your next trip. With so many opportunities for entertainment, adventure, culture, and dozens of side excursions, your first trip on the loop likely won’t be your last. Probably the best part of this trip is that it’s on your pace and your budget, with only a single tank of gas as your primary expense. You can camp, hike, picnic, and enjoy nature, or find a beautiful lodge and play championship golf or go heli-skiing. The Selkirk Loop is another great example of the reason we choose to call this part of the country home, so go and be reminded why you live here.
