Homecoming FROMThe desk by LAUREL HOGUE

For those unable to afford the luxuries that make the Annual Fall Festival of Homes’ houses so awe-inspiring, or even afford a house at all, the festival can still be an inspiration and a reminder that creativity breeds pleasure. It doesn’t take much. Sometimes just changing one’s curtains and a few light fixtures or repainting the color of a wall and acquiring a new piece of secondhand furniture can be the difference between a place you merely rest your head and the place you call home.

12 BOZZIMEDIA.com SEPTEMBER 2022 With the arrival of September comes the 18th Annual Fall Festival of Homes, a showcase of 14 new-construction Spokane homes chosen for their beautiful and innovative architecture and interior design. Appreciation for the aesthetic and functionality of a home is one of the most natural of human desires. We began as tribes that slept in huddled groups for warmth atop beds of grass, with only the sun by day and a fire by night to illuminate our world. We longed for a safe place to rest our heads and break from daily tasks in a sanctuary suited to enhance the quality of our lives and those of our family members. As humanity answered our innate call to settle, we used tools—distinguishing ourselves from most other animals—to build walls, gardens, rooms, windows, furniture, plumbing, and electricity, of which continually evolves in complexity and purpose. We humans have designed our homes to be an extension of ourselves; in essence, we design our homes to reflect and encourage the achievement of our pursuits andThedreams.veined stone of a kitchen island counter mirrors the pulse of life and literally reflects the faces of a family that convenes in the heart of their home as they regale the happenings of their day and plans for many tomorrows. Both easy and tough meals and conversations can be had here.

The fireplace can shelter flames as bright as the campfires that illuminated the faces of our ancestors as they told stories, but in a home, such flames can be housed by a mantel that cradles memories and mementos of the stories made by its inhabitants. Even a bathroom makes for sanctuary to the selfcare necessary to face each day with comfort and confidence. No longer does man rush into rivers for a hurried bath and a distorted, ripple laden reflection in which to garner his countenance. Leisure abounds and calm prevails in the temples and of glass, stone, and light that allow us to regard and care for ourselves, so we may face the outside world as our best selves and retire from it with the promise of tranquility.

Sweet Dreams by P. R. BURGESS

It was a long to-do list, and it keeps growing. Together, Lili and Njal mapped out their mission and vision for the company, filed for a business license, and then designed their logo and built the website.

It seems a natural extension of having been in that co-op to gether.“We became workout buddies and fast friends. We love that working together means we get to hang out, and often our kids play together while we get things checked off our to-do list.”

“We borrowed a shop and power tools, and through trial and er ror, we designed and built our A-frame tents. We learned how to sew.

Take long, socially distanced walks and make some plans for “what’s next.”

“Giddy faces of arriving guests, giggles long after lights out, beginning as friends and leaving as BFFs—those are the traditions of the slumber party. We like to say we are modernizing the standard slumber party and making sleepover dreams come true.”

While some might perceive the shindig sleepover as a tad too precious, there’s a philosophy behind what these moms-turnedentrepreneurs do.

“We see slumber parties as a way to foster confidence and build community, and we hope the special memories created at our par ties will last for years to come, and kids might look back and say, ‘Remember that time when I turned 10 and had my best friends over for that amazing party with those cool tents?’”

“We’ve had requests for parties as far away as Florida, and we are determined to find a way for Modern Dreamers to reach far and wide!”Based on their success to date, including the news coverage and star-powered Instagram shares they’ve received, they are likely to make that happen.

The number one thing to do before treat ment is to avoid the sun! If the patient has any tan at all, treatment is not possible. That is why October through March are optimal treatment months. Recovery Although the procedure is fast, typically one hour, there is some required recovery time. It is important to keep in mind any social events when scheduling your appoint ment. Patients can expect to be red, raw, and oozy for seven to ten days after the proce dure. They will be fully healed but slightly pink by day ten. Your dermatology provider will suggest multiple skin care products to be used after your treatment – these will help with healing and achieve that stunning youthfulBoard-Certifiedglow.

Here’s a bruise to the ego: the most active people are found in the Midwest, not the Northwest. Idaho and Washington can brag all they want about their incredible love of hiking, skiing, yoga, and ‘mindfulness’ (whatever that is), but Minnesota wins the title of Most Active State in America. Wait,TurnsMinnesota?outtheLand of 10,000 Lakes is as equally plentiful in gyms—ten gyms per 100,000 people, the highest of any state. Additionally, Minnesota has the second lowest prevalence of physical inactivity, with only one-fifth of residents not getting off the couch on a regular basis. And where did Washington land? Fourth. Idaho? Don’t ask. Considering how much the “Upper Left” of the country brags about its ‘active lifestyle,’ we apparently aren’t all that active. West Virginia, Mississippi, and Arkansas ranked as the least active states. So, there’s that. Go to FitnessVolt.com to play around with more data. And meanwhile, get moving!

Calculating the cost of a vote in Spokane

Current statistics show the overall average assessed value in Spokane County increased about 30 percent, and the anticipated tax increase in taxes collected is around 10 percent. These new assessed values are set to collide with several proposed levies on the November ballot in Spokane County. If you want to imagine the cost of both on your tax bill, visit the new tool the county created for property owners. By entering your address or parcel number, you will be shown the estimate of the next years ad valorem taxes.

Those Midwest flyover states don’t have anything on Washington when it comes to productivity. We’re busy bees. According to a ten-year analysis of data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Washington’s 30 percent increase in productivity from 2012 to the present was the highest of any other state. This is due to increased output per worker. The Evergreen corner of the country currently shows a 29.7 percent increase over the last decade, the largest output per worker improvement. We probably work so hard because we get paid so well. Hourly compensation rose by 9.2 percent in one year, up from $55.71 dollars per hour worked in 2020 to $60.82 in 2021. Workers in Washington received the third highest increases in labor compensation in the U.S., growing from a total of $171.28 billion in 2012 to $307.47 billion in 2021, a 79.5 percent increase in ten years.

For a quick hit, Psychedelic Water’s makers suggest their newest product, Functional Microdose, which is “a daily dose of functional mushrooms and nootropic ingredients.”Functional mushrooms, as opposed to mushrooms that sit in church basement meetings discussing their crappy childhoods, seems a curious ingredient.

It used to be that only Hollywood stars, monarchy, and career politicians had access to personal care providers. Not anymore. Plebians too can have a private nurse.Concierge Care is a direct care model where one pays the provider directly for primary care services as opposed to paying an insurance company or other healthcare entity. And such providers make house calls, as in, they drive over to your home. How is this even possible? Ask Druthers Healthcare of northern Idaho (DruthersHealthcare.com). They say it’s possible.

Not only is insurance not necessary; it isn’t accepted. This is old school, Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman territory, and it sounds so incredibly backward as to be downright progressive. What exactly makes having to pay out of pocket ‘concierge?’ The providers limit themselves to a total of 200 patients instead of the typical 2,000. This allows for a 24/7 on-call personal, ongoing relationship. The past has arrived.

Watch for heatstroke. The risk of heatstroke is higher for animals that are very young, very old or overweight. Signs to look for include excessive panting, lethargy, vomiting and excessive thirst. If your animal is experiencing any of these signs, get them to a veterinarian right away. You can cool them off enroute to the doctor’s office by placing ice packs and cold towels around their head, neck, and chest. Concierge medicine comes to the Inland Northwest

The TurfMutt Foundation offers these hints for our best friends on hot days: • Limit exercise. Only exercise your pet early in the morning or later in the evening. Do a surface test by placing your hand on the sidewalk to make sure it’s not too hot for your pet’s sensitive paws. Carry water with you to keep your pet from dehydrating.

• Stay indoors. Your pet is always safest and most comfortable inside with you. Limit outdoor time to brief “business” breaks.

Late last month, Spo kane’s MultiCare hosted a community candlelight vigil to remember the 1400 individuals who died from COVID in Spokane County. The ceremony was held at MultiCare Valley Hospital on Mission Avenue, where 700 flags were placed in the ground. The remaining 700—one flag for each lost life—were divided between MultiCare Deaconess Hospital and Mul tiCare Rockwood Main Clinic on east 5th Ave. It’s easy to forget the toll these last two years have taken. We are by our nature forward-looking. We make our plans, live our lives, and give our atten tion to newer pressing concerns. Run away inflation, monkeypox, and midterm elections are only a few of the latest head line grabbers, and understandably so. However, COVID is still here and nearly 6.5 million people have died from the virus. Each day brings new heartbreak for families and friends. In fact, here in the U.S., 767 people have died from COVID in the last 48 Healthcarehours.providers such as MultiCare never closed shop or cut back hours of service. For the last two and a half years, their doctors, nurses, respira tory therapists, and other team members didn’t work from home or go on vacation. They were there for us. They are still there for us.

“It’s important to not only get your children their COVID vaccines, but also the recommended age-appropriate vacci nations. From hepatitis to the flu vaccine, all of them are important to protect your loved ones and vulnerable individuals in our community.”Wehavethe tools to beat these diseases. Let’s use them.

Lemons: Hesitancy kills. By midAugust of this year, 75 percent of those eligible in the states were fully vaccinated against the corona virus. That sounds great until one flips the numbers and realizes that one out of every four people who could be fully vac cinated is not.

hesitancy is simply a nonjudgmental way of saying vaccine ignorance. Lemonade: The healthcare providers that have shown up through all of this, who still show up and stand face to face with a killer virus as they work to save failing lungs, provide hope, and administer medications are heroic for risking their own safety and wellbeing to care for our loved ones. Heroic is too easy an adjective. Do we really understand the bravery such hero ism entails? And how can we repay their service?“As we enter the school year, we want to encourage parents to get their kids vaccinated,” says Dr. Jessica McHugh, MultiCare Rockwood Client Chief Medical Officer. “During the sum mer we saw a dip in vaccinations, and that is a concern. COVID is still circulat ing, and we have measures that can re duce that burden, including vaccinations and staying home when sick.”

Has our world forgotten the sum mertime nightmares of friends coming down with polio and disappearing into hospitals for months on end, lying in iron lungs only to return home paralyzed? Yesterday’s headline was of a young, otherwise healthy, New York City man partially paralyzed from Polio, a disease whose transmission had been eliminated in this country since 1979. And yet, there it was in his neighborhood’s wastewater: the polio virus. He lives in an interna tional metropolis where, in some zip codes, upwards of 40 percent of kids are not vaccinated. A perfect storm is brew ing; there is absolutely no reason Polio won’t soon be in the Inland Northwest, if it isn’tVaccinealready.

Through these films, she fell in love with the vintage aesthetic. The clothes, the hair, and the interior provided endless inspiration. There was so much romance in the level of attention to detail and the styling that she saw, and the excitement she felt for it all never left her.

Many years later, she had a job at a nonprofit where she worked 16-hour days for many months, and after a particularly big event, she chose to leave and start a shop of her own. Although she had never imagined becoming an entrepreneur before, she suddenly felt prepared to take the leap and secured the lease at her first location, where Elliott’s an Urban Kitchen is now located.

She sums up her mission perfectly when she says, “I made a pact with myself in the very beginning. I was going to use the business for good and to find joy in it, and to give joy away. That, to me, is what gets me up in the morning.”

We have Victorian, we have 40’s, 90’s, books… we have everything.” For those who are sustainably minded with what they wear, the selection of vintage clothing at 1889 Salvage Co. is truly exceptional. Follow Your Art and Horde curates the picks with a high level of discernment, and they always follow what is trending both locally and globally. It feels more like a high-end boutique in these corners of the shop. “I don’t do clothes, I’m more into home goods. But my superpower is that I don’t have to be the best one or the most talented. I find really interesting people who want to collaborate, and we put together something that’s really creative,” Gina explains. What does she personally collect? It might surprise you: Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls. “I don’t have any particular ones; sometimes I buy the ones that look sad. I bought one with my own money when I was 10, and I still have it. If we had a fire, that’s what I would grab. They mean the world to me.” She loves what she does so much that she lives right across the alley from her shop. “Literally, this neighborhood is my whole world. I drive very little. I love the whole vibe here. There are breweries, lots of places to shop, and it’s known for cool cars and hot rods… stuff like that. It’s just a cool, urban neighborhood.”

Moving forward, Minuteman Press –Spokane Valley will be operating out of the Lancer facility at 10020 E. Montgomery Drive in Spokane Valley, which includes a 15,000 square foot warehouse. The additional space gives Minuteman Press – Spokane Valley the ability to “warehouse” forms for customers. “In other words, we can print higher quantities and give clients the benefit of lower pricing. Then we store the forms in our loca tion until they need them,” Bise says. “That’s a unique solution that most print shops don't offer.”

Dedication, commitment, and cus tomer satisfaction. That's the company culture that has earned Minuteman Press – Spokane Valley over 100 five-star reviews on Google, not to mention three Gold Awards (Best Printing, Best Trade Show Display, and Best Promotional Products Supplier) in Spokane CDA Living magazine's 2022 B2B Awards.

Minuteman Press – Spokane Valley hung out their open for business sign (which they no doubt printed themselves) in 2019. “We are one of the few places that can handle all printing needs for a client,” Bise says. “We have full-time graphic artists to help a client bring their concept to life.

In today's digital world, it's common to hear the question, "Isn't print dead?" The answer is a resounding "No." Despite the digital revolution, printed marketing and promotional materials have not gone the way of the dinosaur. In fact, according to Troy Bise, owner and president of Minuteman Press – Spokane Valley, the medium of print is not only alive and well, but has become more creative, capable, and cost effective.

n Finally, follow SRDVC and STS social media pages, and don’t miss the fun events planned in October.

Over 2,000 children are victims or witnesses of violence each year. Children who witness domestic violence are 1,000 times more likely to be abused or become abusive as adults (Spokane Regional Health District, 2017). SRDVC works with local agencies and schools to develop prevention tools, estab lish relationships, and work with at-risk youth, including those involved with gangs. The Handle With Care initiative further supports youth identified at the scene of a traumatic event. Police officers, as part of their routine reporting and documentation process, electronically notify designated school administrators that a child needs to be “handled with care” without divulging the nature of the police call. School administrators then provide necessary services the child might require when they arrive at school.Finally, SRDVC is working with other local agencies to address domestic violence cases within the court system. It seeks to reduce recidivism among individuals charged with domestic violence offenses by providing funding for treatment services focused on a therapeutic, whole family approach.

This is a fun and engaging way to support local businesses while raising domestic violence awareness in our community.

Purple for a Purpose 2022 will kick off with a Pancake feed on Oct 1 and the exciting addition of a Food Truck Feast on Oct 2 at 2202 E Sprague from 1-5 pm.

Each year STS touches many lives in different ways. During the pandemic, they provided books and essentials (such as sham poo, deodorant, soap, and even meals) to shelters. Bunny Grams is an STS Easter tradition providing baskets and egg hunts for shelters, giving children a sense of joy and normalcy. They offer family photo shoots through partnerships with local photogra phers, hair and makeup artists, and have developed a “Go Bag” Program to deliver essentials to those who need them. In 2022, STS is exploring how to serve victims by fostering their pets until they obtain Spokanehousing.Regional Domestic Violence Coalition, led by Ex ecutive Director Annie Murphey, is a collaboration among mul tiple organizations, including victim advocacy, law enforcement, government officials, nonprofits, and community members. A coordinated community response model, SRDVC’s vision is to have all people live in safe and secure homes. Through collab orative leadership and networking, SRDVC focuses intentional effort on connecting organizations and resources to move the Spokane region in the direction of ending family violence and trauma.Alongside in-person domestic violence training and sup port groups, SRDVC is involved in services and campaigns focused on awareness, education, and prevention. Thousands in the region recognize the End the Violence and the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women campaigns through radio and TV PSA’s, billboards, flier distribution, and busboards. With financial sponsorship from Providence Healthcare, SRDVC is developing a new website portal designed to assist businesses in recognizing and responding to domestic violence in the workplace.

n Continuing the fun throughout October with social media posts, awareness challenges, and survivor spotlights, SRDVC and STS hope to drive business to local establishments while raising awareness and funds for domestic violence prevention programs.

Reports and data show Spokane’s domestic violence rates are higher than anywhere else in Washington. The emotional, mental, and physical costs upon our community are profound as it impacts rates of homelessness, medical needs, and mental health. As violence increases in our community, it becomes es sential that we focus on prevention and education. This work is what brings the Spokane Regional Domestic Violence Coalition (SRDVC) and Stop the Silence together to help Spokane move toward prevention and work to End the Violence with their Purple for a Purpose campaign.

by TAFFY HUNTER

Stop the Silence (STS) was created in the aftermath of a tragic loss. In 2017, Jesseka Frazer-Musson was murdered by her fiancé in Bonners Ferry, Idaho. As her family began healing from their grief and trauma, Jesseka’s sister, Shauna Kennedy-Carr, formed STS. STS actively raises funds for local non-profit orga nizations providing support and working directly with people impacted by domestic violence. Successfully raising thousands of dollars to help victims, STS also raises awareness through its many annual events.

In Oct 2021, STS and SRDVC partnered to launch the first Purple for a Purpose promotion. With the help of the Spokane Hospitality Coalition, over 40 restaurants, coffee shops, and bakeries participated, each establishment offering a purple menu item, including lavender lattes, Purple frosted donuts, and Mixed Berry Semifreddo. It will be exciting to discover the Purple for a Purpose 2022 menu creations this October.

The second annual Purple for a Purpose promotion runs throughout October, National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This promotion highlights purple drinks, foods, and desserts at local establishments, raising awareness and funds for domestic violence prevention programs in Spokane.

n Participants are also invited to participate in Purple Thursday by wearing purple every Thursday in October.

n When you eat out, choose a restaurant, bar, bakery, or coffee shop participating in Purple for a Purpose.

Most of the people who died in the 2021 heatwave were elderly—many in poverty or without air conditioning. The Fire Department could provide support here, as could neighborhood groups and community organizations. The city could also take a leaf from the federal infrastructure package and provide grants for electric heat pumps, prioritizing these vulnerable populations.

And it violates the law. Spokane’s municipal ordinance is a legal mandate. The city is required by law to have a working strategy in place for bringing people indoors during extreme weather events.

Finally, community groups could do more to prepare for the inevitable. Deadly heat events are becoming more common, and it’s clear that the current administration will not prioritize vulnerable populations in its response. That leaves the work to nonprofits, community organizations, advocates, and you. Do you have a plan for the next heat wave or smoke event? Do you have water bottles in your car for the houseless individual you drive past every day? Do you have a list of neighbors to check on?

In late June of 2021, the Pacific Northwest experienced the worst heatwave on record. Temperatures in Spokane reached 109 degrees Fahrenheit and remained above 100º F for almost two weeks straight. Such temperatures are deadly for those without adequate shelter. In fact, excessive heat causes more weather-related deaths in the United States than hurricanes, flooding, and tornadoes combinedSo,it’sno surprise Spokane’s administration was roundly criticized for its response to the 2021 heatwave, which relied on a small cooling shelter space in the Looff Carousel building and (mostly) the generosity of nonprofit homeless shelter operators. More than 20 people died from the heat, according to the Spokane County Medical Examiner. The City Council subsequently passed an ordinance requiring the city administration to open cooling, warming, and clean air shelters at set standards—95º F in the case of heat. The ordinance also called for an annual publication of a plan for shelter operations. Presumably, such a plan would include the identification of spaces, services, and nonprofit partners in advance of extreme weather so as to simplify and implement a swiftUnfortunately,response. this July and August, it happened again. The heat arrived and, despite a week of extreme temperatures exceeding 95º F, administration officials only managed to extend hours at select libraries. That was it. With no help from the city or county, which are both flush with federal relief funds that can be used for this purpose, nonprofit organizations and mutual aid groups stepped up with cooling stations downtown, small indoor spaces, and lots of ice water. At “Camp Hope” in East Central, which currently houses more than 600 people in makeshift tents and RVs, the Empire Health Foundation helped fund a cooling tent equipped with swamp coolers. Spokane County does not currently have a low-barrier homeless shelter, so for many people, Camp Hope remains the only place to get some respite from the heat.

Second, the city must establish a stronger outreach and support program for elderly and disabled residents living in neighborhoods.

These are small steps, sure, and they won’t directly accomplish our goal of eliminating homelessness or the adverse public health outcomes associated with heat waves. But these small acts of solidarity can help humanize the most vulnerable in our community—and build support for the types of systemic change we need.

Heat and Humanity

Allowing this situation to continue is not only untenable; it’s morally reprehensible.

Ultimately, this leads to the elephant in the room: the city must establish a low-barrier shelter. And it should do so with input from the unhoused as well as community organizations like Jewels Helping Hands and Compassionate Addiction Treatment, which have provided critical mutual aid. The proposed shelter for the former warehouse at 4320 E. Trent Avenue is a good first step, but questions remain about whether Camp Hope residents and advocates have been adequately engaged in the process.

By the time Franklin D. Roosevelt defeated Hoover in 1932, there were foreclosed farms and shanty towns (dubbed Hoovervilles due to the then-President’s failed economic policies) across America; unemployment was at a record 24 percent. The 1934 and 1935 fairs barely managed to be fairs at all.

In fact, the Spokane County Interstate Fair that we’ve all come to know as a major, heavily attended event didn’t really exist untilAnd1950.now?

ides, games, exhibition halls, animals (lots of animals), clowns, musicians, and of course funnel cakes! It’s all happening at the Spokane County Interstate Fair. Don’t miss out on this annual tradition of celebrating the change of seasons. In fact, it’s so much of a tradition that the interstate fair is actually older than the state itself. The year was 1886, and the Washington and Idaho Fair Association held the very first gathering at what is now Corbin Park. It was only four days, beginning on September 21, but organizers envisioned an annual event that would grow year after year. Indeed, right as the Fair had started building momentum, the Great Fire of 1889 halted the harvest celebration. The fire may have canceled the festivities, but it didn’t stop Washington from entering statehood two months later, on November 11. Another pause occurred at the start of the Great Depression. No fairs were held in 1932 or 1933. No banners waived, no queens crowned, and a livestock auction would have been unthinkable for local families who certainly would have had to feed their families any meat they’d managed to raise.

It’s all happening at the Fair!

Youth Market Stock Auction

The Spokane County Interstate Fair’s Youth Market Stock Auction is the culmination of months of hard work by youth from around the region. The exhibitors carefully selected an animal early on, fed, watered, and worked with them daily to become the prize-win ning animal you see today. This year's Youth Market Stock Auction is scheduled for Sunday, September 11 at 2:00pm. Please support our area's youth by attending this year's sale and purchasing quality livestock to fill your freezer.

The Spokane County Interstate Fair is still a celebration of regional agricultural and industrial excellence, but it’s become so much more. Carnival games, rides, livestock shows, exhibition halls, food vendors, and live music featuring nationally recognized performers compete with what may arguably be its ultimate highlight: people watching. Folks come from towns both tiny and large across both states to meet up at the fairgrounds and ‘have a looksee’ at all the excitement and especially at the predicted 57,000 other attendees. We encourage our readers to attend the fair because, ultimately, it is about community and place. One of the highlights we hope you take in is Mutton Bustin’. Held daily, this is all about the kids, their safety, and education while they participate in this unique event. Mutton Bustin’ is a training ground for future Rodeo Champions. It is fun for everyone, and all skill levels are welcome. This event is located at the east end of the fairgrounds, next to the Grandstands. Show times are MondaySaturday at 12:30 pm, 4:30 pm, and 8 pm, and on Sundays at 11:30 am, 3:30 pm, and 7 pm.

And the benefit of a road trip is we can use the car to haul the things that didn’t make it into the moving van during the initial move. The drive down this past July was great. The kids readily accepted offerings of gummy fruit snacks, paintwith-water coloring books, and their favorite episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants in exchange for their silence. I was able to make the near 20hour trek without car trouble or much traffic, which in and of itself is a small miracle.

Another benefit of travel ing by car is the chance to sightsee. A plane gets you there faster, but you’ll miss the scenery and historical place markers along the way. Scenic vistas, waterfalls, cattle and horses, main streets in small towns, the detritus of their pasts, none of it can be appreciated by plane. On one of our many stops, the kids spotted a burned-out and abandoned truck. Believ ing this far more fascinating than the mighty Columbia’s waters, beaches, and dra matic basalt cliffs that divide Washington from Oregon, they insisted on checking it out. To each his own. Many prefer to go down Interstate 5 for its speed and ease, and again, to each his own. However, I prefer the cliff-hugging roads of the Idaho/Nevada route. The scenery is stellar. In the weeks following our arrival, we filled our days with as many excur sions as possible, prioritizing activities that we couldn’t do in Spokane, like taking the kids to the Natural History Museum, Will Rogers Beach in Santa Monica, church camp in the Angeles Crest Mountains, and the L.A. Zoo. (Could someone please explain why the second larg est city in Washington state doesn’t have a zoo?) As is the case with small children, there was plenty of chasing and yelling “Don’t touch that” moments. But the frustra tion and exhaustion were interwoven with memories of family and friends and of joy, discovery, love, and reflec tion.The long drive back is usually anticlimactic. Usu ally.

My dad helped me to tie them onto the roof rack of the Outback with rope and a tarp. After repeated hugs and one last safety check, the kids and I were off. And for a state going through a historic drought, Cali fornia had one of the worst storms in my memory. Rain, thunder, and heavy winds shredded the tarp and broke the ropes tying my precious belongings to the car.

From the might Columbia to the grand Pacific ship under canon fire. The items would soon be soaked if not brought in from the rain. That rug wasn’t cheap. I pulled over to the side of the road and, amid driving rain and lightning strikes in the distance, somehow jammed everything into the car. The final 14 hours of our drive were shared with a blue pedal truck in the front passenger seat, a CD cabinet serving as the Great Wall of China separating my kids, and a rug blocking all visibility to the back window.

I wasn’t specifically thinking a lot about gender when writing this, but I definitely agree that just publishing books, I get a lot of assump tions that I’m writing about myself, and I know that hap pens to most female writers. I don’t think that assumption is made about male writers, even when they’re writing something that could very much be their life. I think about that a lot because go ing into promoting a book, there’s a sense of people thinking the book is about me because I went to art school or because I grew up in California.

Rebecca is a Spokane-based fiction writer, essayist, and playwright. She has an MFA in creative nonfiction from Eastern Washington University. Her work has been published in Prairie Schooner, The Account: A Journal of Poetry, Prose, and Thought, The Swamp, and Alien Magazine. Her one-minute play, "First Trip," was performed during Stage Left’s Fast and Furious Festival 2020. Her flash fiction piece “Hypnosis” was selected for the Wigleaf Top 50 Very Short Fictions 2021.

Chelsea: I mean, honestly, it’s getting harder and harder. I have a kid now, so it’s especially like, I need to start saving mon ey for him or actually deal with my retirement or whatever. It definitely doesn’t get easier, but I feel like I worked through a lot of that writ lit lilac lit

Rebecca: Joey struggles with self-doubt about whether she’s really an artist and what art even is, and whether it matters, and yet art seems like this thing with the potential to save her from being stuck in a small town with her mother and sister, who are struggling with paying bills and raising a baby and—in her sister’s case—with drug addiction. Could you talk about this love/hate relationship to art? Is that something you feel personally? Why is it that artists seem to hate art a lot of the time?

Rebecca: Self-portraits are a big part of this novel. Joey’s assignment in her experimental film class is to create a self-portrait in film— and her interpretation of that assignment is to try to remake the movie Rushmore, which she hasn’t seen. And she creates other selfportraits in the novel. Also, Joey thinks a lot about how others perceive her. As I was read ing this, I thought about how as women, we’re socialized to be hyper-conscious of how other people perceive us. And how art by women is seen as personal to them, whereas art by men is seen as universal. What are your thoughts about self-portraits and how they relate to gender? Chelsea: Self-portraits are interesting to me personally, and I feel like for Joey, there’s a sense of all eyes being on her and her trying to fit into these different roles while just being one person. And I think self-portraits are a cool reflection of how you’re seeing yourself in the moment you’re making one or what you want to convey about yourself. So yeah, the self-portrait film, which she agonizes over the whole book, is like, “What am I saying about myself? Why did I think this was important?”

Rebecca: So, how do you con tinue to make your art when it seems like it’s not the most important thing in the world?

Portrait of an author as a young woman

Chelsea: I think being in col lege is a time for that anyway. You’re figuring out where you fit in and finding new friend groups, and going off into a direction that you think is cool. I feel like art school is like four years of therapy because every single assign ment is about you, about what you think is good or worth conveying or worth existing. I feel like there’s a ton of per sonal reflection happening in art school, specifically because of having to mine your life or your interests for material.

Rebecca: I related to Joey’s self-consciousness a lot. It made me think of when I was in col lege, wanting to build this identity and have people see me in a certain way, and how Art making when you’re starting out, is a way to build your identity. Do you have any thoughts on using art as a means of building an iden tity, specifically in college?

Spokane-based author Chelsea Mar tin has been a darling of the indie lit scene ever since she published her first collection of short stories, Everything Was Fine Until Whatever, from Future Tense Books, in 2009. Since then, she has published several books of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction, most notably her hilarious memoir, Caca Dolce: Essays from a Lowbrow Life, which was published by Soft Skull Press in 2017. Lena Dunham, creator of HBO’s Girls, wrote, “Chelsea Martin continues to prove herself the preeminent chronicler of Internet age malaise, and I f-ing love it.” Martin’s new novel, Tell Me I’m an Artist, is the coming-of-age story of a self-conscious and despon dent (but often hilarious) art student named Joey, which local novelist Sharma Shields describes as a “portrait of the artist as a work in progress.” Reading this novel, I thought of my own college-age self, making bad art, envying my peers, and desperately wanting someone else to tell me that what I was doing mattered.

Chelsea: I think part of it is it just feels so worthless when big important things are hap pening. I think that’s what Joey’s responding to. Her family is in crisis. Her sister is maybe not going to be okay. Her mom is similar. They all have problems. There’s this baby. It feels like really important life stuff is going on, and she’s just doing little art projects. I feel like that’s where the tension is. How do I justify spending my life doing stuff that I don’t even think is important? But then it also feels cool to do it, and she sees a life there, however vague, that seems like something she could be successful at. She made it to art school, so a big obstacle has already been broached. I think that’s a pretty universal experience with artists, the guilt. Artmaking and writing feel like such a leisurely activity sometimes. It requires so much time, and you never know if it’s going to be fruitful or anyone’s going to care. Especially when you don’t have money. I think that’s why a lot of rich people are artists and writers, because [for people who aren’t rich] there’s always this nagging sense of, I should be doing something more worthwhile or making money or being helpful in some way.

SEPTEMBER 2022 BOZZIMEDIA.com 43 ing this book. Those feelings of inadequacy and “This it isn’t going where I want it to,” or “I’m not making enough money from it.” But I still feel pulled and obligated almost to continue because it’s just who I am.

Rebecca: Class is this invisible force within the world of the book. It’s not acknowledged by Joey’s professors or by Joey’s best friend, Suz, but it plays a huge role in Joey’s life. At one point, she’s unsure if she’ll be able to stay in San Francisco and keep going to art school because she can’t afford to pay her rent. So, I was interested in how you were thinking about institutions like this art school and how they reinforce existing hierarchies, including class, even though the artists within the school supposedly want to subvert these hierarchies. Chelsea: It’s interesting. I think it’s hard to talk about because no one really wants to. I was really interested in those kinds of questions going into writing the book. And I thought art school was an interest ing place to dissect that stuff because, yeah, people want to subvert [class hierarchies].

Rebecca: Definitely. I feel like even in my MFA program, there wasn’t much talk of how to get published or how to get an agent.

Rebecca: I was curious about Rushmore, the movie that Joey is remaking even though she hasn’t seen it. I liked how there are different versions of the Rushmore remake throughout the book and how different characters have different ideas of what it means. I was curi ous how you picked that movie and whether you’ve seen Rushmore

Chelsea: I have not seen Rushmore. I feel like it was very important to pick a movie I had not seen. I wanted it to be something I could freely make up things about. Why Rushmore? I have no idea. I think for me, it feels like one of those movies that I should have seen or everyone’s seen and assumes everyone else has seen, and I just don’t really care. I don’t really like Wes Anderson. I feel like I could freely do whatever I want with the movie because I didn’t really care about how other people saw it. Rebecca: It’s interesting you still haven’t seen it even after writing the book.

Chelsea: I know. I’m wondering if I should watch it or just forever be like… Rebecca: I actually haven’t seen Rushmore Chelsea: Oh, cool.

In art school, there was an “even-ing” of class stuff because rich people didn’t want to appear rich. It wasn’t cool to be using a ton of resources or flaunting wealth when you are in art school, at least the one I went to in Oakland. So, it was just a lot of punk types who didn’t bathe, and it would slowly come out that they had a ton of money, or I’d find out who their parents were, and I was like, “Why don’t they wash their clothes?” So, I feel like it was hard to know where you stood at art school in a way that I found interest ing. Like with Suz, slowly over time you’re like, “Oh, she’s incredibly privileged and has so much support and resources and people willing to help her, and it just comes to her because of the privilege and her parents be ing connected to artists.”

Chelsea: And when that conversation does happen, they’re talking about the New Yorker or something that’s totally unrealis tic. Not little literary magazines and how to take baby steps. So yeah, it feels very useless. Or like there’s no success outside of being published by a major publisher and getting a huge advance.

Chelsea: I mean, there’s a hierarchy of needs. You need food and shelter, and once you have that, you can start thinking about less important things. Suz has her basic needs covered, so she’s privileged to think about these other problems while Joey isn’t even there yet. Like [Joey] doesn’t worry about being perceived as a “female artist” because she doesn’t even really recognize herself as an artist.

The other thing about art school is it feels a little like a pyramid scheme. You don’t get a lot of practical money-making skills. The projects I wrote about in the book are repre sentative of the projects I did in college. It’s very gallery-focused art. I mean, we didn’t even do a website-building class or portfoliobuilding, anything. The emphasis was on being able to sound good talking through ideas about your work, less on supporting yourself or navigating the art world or mak ing connections because it’s just assumed that you’ll be able to do that, which I think is a huge class thing because the people who are successful after art school are usually people who have connections and learn that stuff elsewhere.

Rebecca: I have a related question about privilege more generally. I found it interest ing how in the book, art tends to be viewed through the lens of people’s marginalized identities, whereas the privileged identi ties are invisible. Like when Suz and Herta complain about how their art is always viewed through the lens of gender, whereas when critiquing the male artists’ work, the students don’t talk about gender. The art is seen as universal. On the other hand, Suz doesn’t seem aware of how her class privilege influences her work. So, I was interested in how privilege is either invisible or ignored. Is that something you’ve seen?

One year ago, artist Shelli Walters left her ad agency career of 24 years to take a leap of faith. She chose to instead pursue the mys terious and creative path that is creating art, surrendering to her craving for freedom and autonomy. For a security junkie like Shelli, a leap like this was terrifying. The year leading up to her departure was full of struggle and soul searching, but it was also a time of profound personal and spiritual growth. Her connection to Nature and her guidance became an undeniable and power ful force. Birds appeared as messengers. Again and again, she heard a ceaseless call she felt compelled to answer by facing her fears and realigning her life.

Shelli Walters at Marmot Art Space

Oh, but my darling, What if you fly? Shelli says the birds which called her to be a painter reappear in her work. “Each take their per fect, harmonious place within the earth and sky. Trusting their grand wings to live as Nature intended.” Shelli spent the earliest years of her childhood living in a beach town on the Oregon coast. “The sand, sea, and salt are part of my soul,” she says. “I may live by the ocean again someday. I retreat there once or twice a year to re plenish my salt levels.”

Because Shelli brings the sunshine everywhere she goes, it’s been a joy to feature her this month at Marmot Art Space. I came across her work years ago in Bend, Oregon. While her gal lery showcases many stellar art ists, Shelli’s work stood out like a moonbeam eclipsing a star laden blanket of night. In her artist state ment, which was just as inspiring, she explained her decision to dedi cate her life full-time to painting. Her artist statement began with this quote by Erin Hanson: There is freedom waiting for you, On the breezes of the sky, And you ask, “What if I fall?”

Feels like love

She has loved to draw, paint, and be creative for as long as she can remember; she even used to try to convince her mom she was sick so she could stay home from school to draw or paint. Even though she wasn’t taken to art galleries and there was not much offered in art class, she did receive a lot of encourage ment in her artistic endeavors from parents, friends, and teachers.

FIRST FRIDAY spotlight

“I was the youngest of five girls, too young to join in on their adventures, so I created my own through my art and in the outdoors,” she explains. “It was the 70’s so kids were free to roam, learn to be independent, and to self-entertain. We had to engage our imagina tions and creativity to invent our own fun and adventure. I remember getting my friends to join me in staging plays for the neighborhood or loading up my Western Flyer wagon with our drawings, and painting rocks to exhibit in front of the corner market.” To achieve a natural looking symbiosis between a variety of artistic mediums, Shelli primarily mixes acrylic paint and collage, and sometimes incorporates oil pastel, crayon, pencil. Occasionally, even rice papers and threads find their way into her work. She also keeps on hand her favorite black and white collage copies of items like handwriting, maps, dots, and patterns that she will smother with paint. “They are fun to make,” Shelli says. “I like acrylic because its water based—no fumes or chemicals that give me a headache—and it dries fast, which allows me to stay engaged and in the moment. Robert Burridge got me into acrylic-collage. I got addicted to it. I love the surprises that occur with the layering and the shapes and textures that emerge.” She admires artists who toggle thinking and playing while they are creating, allowing each to engage without getting in the way of the other. She calls it “the alchemy of control and chaos.” They are those who create work that has irresistible energy and freedom while still being cohesive in their final presentation. While visiting the Georgia O’Keefe museum, she found herself crying. “Not because of her art, but for her,” Shelli said. “The bravery it took for her to live her life as a female artist during that time. I had just quit my safe, se cure ad agency job to pursue art and freelance design work, which was terrifying. I could relate on a smaller scale to what it meant for her to take such a leap of faith. [She] made me once again appreciate all the trailblazing women who came before me who had the spunk to live their own lives on their own terms during a time when women generally didn’t have that luxury.”

Because Shelli always lived where nature was abundant, it’s the place where she feels most alive, grounded, and connected to herself and the universe. All the superficial, unimportant trappings of the human world disappear when she convenes with nature, an irresistible wilderness rich in texture, color, and shape. She loves exploring this in her work and tries to express some of that energy and magic. “I want to feel a story emerge,” Shelli says. Through painting, she hears the voices of nature. Engaging in this way makes her feel alive and connected to all living things.For this reason, she also finds animals fascinating and beautiful since their pres ence encourages her to live in the present moment, thus instantly clearing her head of chatter and instilling a sense of wonder, peace, and gratitude. “Animals have no concept of getting to work on time or being something they are not,” Shelli says. “They simply live their lives as they are made to without all the human baggage, we heap on ourselves and eachSadly,other.”Shelli recently lost her mom, which has been a heartbreaking and challenging experience. “It has had an impact on the art I’m creating now,” she says. “There were weeks and weeks that I was not able to paint. There has been an overwhelming amount to deal with, and its incredibly fragmenting. When I got back into the studio, I started seeing a shift in composition and color. There is a simplification taking place that is bringing more clarity to my work. Its less fragmented, less tiny bits and more broad strokes. More emphasis on the juxtaposition of quiet and busy. More play in the colors I choose to put next to each other.” Even in the wake of loss and heartbreak, Shelli brings the sunshine, and (like her paint ings) her words shine on in my thoughts even in times of sadness: “Time to brave up. Time to fly. Time to trust my wings and synchronicity” Shelli’s artwork will be on display all this month at Marmot Art Space in Kendall Yards, and she will be present at the First Friday, on October 7. Doors open at 5 pm. Marshall Peterson owns and operates Marmot Art Space, which was voted Best of the City 2021 for art galleries by the readers of this magazine.

GLP Attorneys Partner Sara Maleki is devoted to caring for the diverse needs of her clients and values the uniqueness of each person. She honors diversity in all she does and prioritizes cultural principals stemming

GLP Attorneys Shareholder Janelle Carney was born to be a personal injury lawyer. An advocate for her classmates in grade school, the teacher told her parents, “Your daughter should be a lawyer.” Later, she was inspired by John Grisham novels, wanting to stand up for people who couldn’t stand up for themselves. When she graduated from high school, she wrote herself a note that she keeps today, “I hope you become a lawyer and are helping people.”Itis no surprise that Janelle Carney has been consistently recognized as one of Spokane and Coeur d’Alene’s Top Lawyers from 2014 to present. In addition to this local acknowledgment, she has been honored as a Super Lawyers Rising Star for the past ten years, which is awarded to the top 2.5 percent of attorneys in the state of Washington. On a national level, she is recognized as a Top 100 Registry for Lawyers, Top 100 Trial Lawyers and is a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, and the MultiMillion Dollar Advocates Forum. Praise from her clients echo her list of accolades, “…I always felt like my wellness and healing was the most important issue because it was important to her...She went above my expectations…with a settlement that was just and fair for all of the parties involved. She is a wonderful person and has her clients’ best interests above her own…She gets to know the person and his/her family personally and gives everything she can to make sure that person is well represented and that the end resolution is one that is best for the individual, putting them above herself…. If there are any awards to be given for a hard-working, dedicated, humble, compassionate, honest attorney, Janelle deserves them all...” In 2010, Janelle wanted to move back home to Spokane, a place she has always loved and cherished. Janelle opened the Spokane office for GLP Attorneys, a big undertaking for a Seattle firm who at the time only had a handful of clients in the Spokane area. Since then, the office has grown to four attorneys and a staff of 20 professionals under her leadership. Janelle loves what she does, and it shows every day in her work and representation of her clients across Eastern Washington.

compassion and commitment has contributed to her selection by Spokane Coeur d’Alene Living magazine as a Top Lawyer in Spokane from 2016 to present. She is recognized by her clients as, “An amazing, caring individual…I felt like Sara heard me, I mean really heard me. Sara’s care and hard work on my behalf was amazing. It was a small (case), but her attention, respect, and guidance was impeccable…Not once did I question (her) ability, honesty, or professionalism. Sara always kept me informed, updated, but most of all showed me respect and honest care…no matter how big or small (the) case…” Sara has also been honored as a Super Lawyer and a Rising Star since 2017, both awarded to only the top five percent and the top 2.5 percent of Washington State lawyers, respectively. Sara proudly serves the Spokane community on the Spokane Symphony Board of Trustees where she cochairs their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee. In addition, for over twenty years Sara has been the Associate Director for the Satori Camp, a summer camp for gifted teens in Cheney, WA where she oversees administration and mentors junior high and high school kids. With compassion and commitment, Janelle Carney and Sara Maleki are grateful for the opportunity to pursue justice for their clients and serve the Eastern Washington communities. They handle all types of personal injury law for Washington and Idaho including wrongful death claims, nursing home abuse and neglect, premises liability, insurance bad faith claims, and automobile collisions.

Gold Seal (509)goldsealplumbing.comPlumbing535-5946

Plumbing is something you don’t notice how much of a role it plays in your life until it stops working or something goes wrong. The fact that we can simply turn the handle on a faucet and expect water to come out is all thanks to professional plumbers like those at Spokane’s Gold Seal Plumbing. Gold Seal Plumbing has been serving residential and commercial customers in the Inland Northwest since 1967. As a family-owned and operated business, Gold Seal also understands the importance of taking care of their own people, from the front office staff to the plumbers in the field --- it shows by being named one of the Best Places to Work Inland Northwest.

“We have a 4.8 Google rating with over 2300 reviews, and many are calling out our plumbers by name,” Oliver says.

SEPTEMBER 2022 BOZZIMEDIA.com 79Promotional

Great Service, Great Family, Great Opportunities

And don’t think Gold Seal doesn’t appreciate that kind of commitment. “The neat thing about working for a family business is they treat everyone like family,” Oliver says. “We have chili cook offs, BBQs, and company outings --- this past summer, everyone had a paid day off with free tickets to Silverwood amusement park!”“Learning a trade is an excellent choice for a career that is meaningful and also provides a great living,” Oliver recaps. “Not to mention that Gold Seal is just a really cool place to work.”

Founded by Robert E. Dixon, Sr. and Richard L. Dixon, the company now includes four generations among its 135 employees. It’s one big happy, thriving family --- and there’s always room for more.With many plumbers reaching retirement age, there is industry-wide shortage of skilled applicants. Gold Seal is encouraging new high school graduates or anyone looking for a new career to consider choosing a life in the trades. “Right now, we are an industry that is in high demand but limited on the number of plumbers available to work,” says Kevin Oliver, Marketing Manager at Gold Seal Plumbing. “Working in the trades is fulfilling because you are helping people day in and day out.” Going to a four-year college isn’t for everyone. If you like working with your hands, are good at solving problems, and enjoy helping people, becoming a plumber might be a perfect fit. A journeyman level plumber’s license in Washington requires 8,000 hours and four years of working as a plumber trainee. Gold Seal offers a unique opportunity where candidates learn the ropes and complete assigned tasks using the latest tools and technology under the supervision of a licensed journeyman plumber. Instead of paying tuition as you would to attend a trade school, Gold Seal pays YOU while you learn! Trainees start at $19 an hour with an impressive benefits package that includes paid holidays, paid time off, sick pay, employer-paid medical, dental, vision, and life insurance, even 401K, so you’re already saving for retirement.Following training and successful completion of the state certification exam, you’ll be an officially licensed journeyman plumber making around $80,0000 a year as a member of the Gold Seal team. “It is a very lucrativeweandbetweenplumbinglargest2009.readersd’AlenebyPlumbingbeenGoldalsoOlivercareer,”says.“It’ssteadywork.SealhasvotedBestCompanySpokane/CoeurLivingsinceAndastheservicecontractorSeattleMinneapolis,havejobsgoing

Being a plumber does not always entail making house calls and repairing toilets. Gold Seal operates in a wide range of sectors. For example, you might work on new home construction, install and maintain infrastructure of commercial buildings, or come to the rescue on emergency leak repairs.

THE NEST kitchen and baths

BY TONYA MADDEN

PracticallyPerfect

Plan ahead When it comes to renovating a kitchen or bathroom, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with the entire pro cess. To make the upgrade go more smoothly, you’ll be less stressed and more productive by doing your research. Collect pictures from the internet and magazines that rep resent your vision for your dream kitchen or bath. If you have a basic idea of what you want, your contrac tor can better help you reach the goal of developing the perfect design. Even though it is very important that you have a budget in mind from the beginning, don’t worry so much about cost that you don’t follow your dream. It comes down to deciding how much you want to invest in your home, which is different from how much you want to spend. Update the outdated Redoing your kitchen or bath doesn’t mean abandoning the original character of the house. The challenge is to redo a space in such a way that it doesn’t stand apart from the rest of the house. You can ac complish this by weaving authentic

Today’s homeowners want more value for their remodeling dollars, and that means turning to improvements that make both func tional and financial sense.

materials into the design. Marble and tile will always be a classy element to add to a kitchen or bath, but you also need to look at the functionality of the space. If you’ve got kids, you might not want to go with marble as it requires maintenance, and easily scratches and stains. A more versatile product is Silestone quartz, which is four times the strength of granite, yet delivers distinctive depth, glimmer ing radiance, and a cool, solid feel that is unique to natural stone. You can create modern flair by going with a waterfall edge that flows down vertically all the way to the floor instead of stopping at the edge of a cabinet island, or vanity. Get to work Above all else, kitchens and baths are work areas. Whether you’re pre paring dinner for the family or get ting ready in the morning for work, it is important to make sure there is adequate surface space and conve nient storage.

Rather than porous surfaces like marble, hard surfaces like Corian (which is made from an acrylic and mineral composite) allow you to just wipe and go. Light the way One of the top complaints about kitchens and baths is that there isn’t enough lighting. Well-designed windows and skylights can lighten the feel of a room and save on energy bills as well. Of course, the sun doesn’t shine all the time. Lowvoltage LED under-cabinet lighting, recessed fixtures, and pendant lights are an efficient and attractive solu tion. One final recommendation is to have each light source on a separate control and dimmer. This gives you infinite options for creating the per fect ambiance for any situation.

Metabolic Syndrome and Type 2 Diabetes

Remission should be the goal Know your risk level

More Americans experience poor health consequences related to metabolic syndrome and its associated diseases, including type 2 diabetes, than any other health condition. However, with tailored medications and lifestyle changes, remission is possible. According to the National Institute of Health, approximately one in three American adults have metabolic syndrome. Many people with metabolic syndrome will develop diabetes within five to ten years, and most don’t even know they have it. According to the CDC’s most recent National Diabetes Statistics Report, in 2019, 38 percent of US adults had prediabetes, 11 percent of the US population had diabetes, and one-third of people with diabetes were undiagnosed. One thing leads to another Metabolic syndrome is typically caused by genes turned on under certain conditions. If not reversed, it leads to type 2 diabetes.

Most commonly, the genes causing insulin resistance are turned on when an individual exceeds their personal fat threshold in their abdominal fat. At that point, the fat starts accumulating in the liver, causing insulin resistance. If not reversed, insulin resistance results in metabolic syndrome, which often progresses to type 2 diabetes. And type 2 diabetes has its own seemingly inevitable trajectory. The pancreas, which secretes insulin to control blood sugars, atrophies. Other consequences include the development of kidney disease, polycystic ovary syndrome, gout, a fatty liver disease that can progress to cirrhosis, elevated risk for certain cancers, and the increased risk of heart attacks—and as a result, ultimately, the risk of premature death. So, think of insulin resistance as the stalk of a noxious weed and each disease it causes as the individual leaves coming off the stalk. Cut down the stalk, and you reverse all the diseases. But if you treat each diseased leaf with medications alone, you never get to the root of the problem. Instead, address the insulin resistance. Otherwise, one is engaged in a constant losing battle of Whack a’ Mole with various drugs. Define the goal first, and the solutions will follow While working in oncology for 15 years, our priority was to define the primary goal of treatment, and that goal was often to cure or achieve remission of cancer. Most people go to great lengths to fight their cancer. For many with insulin resistance, their associated

First, I adjust the patient’s medication regimen by tapering medications that cause further weight gain and diabetes progression. This is done by prescribing medications that protect the heart and

It’s not unusual to see patients in my private practice on 100 or more units of insulin a day plus three or four diabetic medications with poorly controlled diabetes and multiple complications. They understandably feel hopeless. My approach remains the same today as it was at the VA, with medication adjustments and a strong focus on lifestyle modifications.

People with insulin resistance have trouble removing those sugars from theYet,blood.the CDC recommends people with diabetes aim to get about half of their calories from carbohydrates. For type 2 diabetics eating 1800 calories per day, this would mean 900 calories would come from carbs, equating to 225 grams of carbohydrates a day! These numbers are far too high. A single teaspoon of sugar has about 4 grams of carbs, so CDC guidelines equate to approximately 56 teaspoons of sugar per day. For years, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommendations totaled the same number of carbs per day. The ADA’s recently improved recommendations for diabetics now call for one-half of a diabetic’s plate to consist of non-starchy vegetables and about one-fourth to be highcarb foods, which is still far too many carbohydrates.

Sugar isn't the only culprit diseases are just as serious. So, my question is, why aren’t we approaching them with the same vigor? Why isn’t our goal to achieve cure or remission? And why is this goal so elusive?

The goal is remission Type 2 diabetes has been considered inexorably progressive, but that doesn’t have to be the case. Dr. Roy Taylor’s clinical trials based out of Newcastle University in the United Kingdom proved years ago that remission should be our goal with type 2 diabetes. The Counterpoint Study, published in 2011, demonstrated that with calorie restriction that led to an average weight loss of 33 pounds, insulin resistance in the liver reversed, and the pancreas cells that create insulin regenerated, returning the pancreas to normal size. It proved that diabetics have a 50 percent chance of reversing their disease if they have had diabetes for over ten years. Most diabetics who have had the disease for a few years have a reversible condition. The Diabetes Remission Clinical Trial (DiRECT) demonstrated continued remission at two years if more than 22 pounds were kept off. Sustained remission was directly linked to the extent of sustained weight loss. Therefore, the goal for those with metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes should be weight loss. But for someone with insulin resistance, losing weight isn’t just a matter of calories in versus calories out. They often feel like they look at carbs and gain weight. This is because the more insulin resistant you are, the more likely you are to turn a carbohydrate into fat. When an insulin-resistant person eats a meal, one-fourth of that meal’s carbohydrates turn into fat. Metabolic syndrome changes the way people respond to carbohydrates. Thus, it’s weight loss and a low-carb diet. Medication alone will only address the symptoms temporarily because these conditions are progressive if the stalk isn’t cut down.

Twenty years ago, I managed high-risk diabetics at our local Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Veterans had to have an A1C greater than 12 percent to qualify for the program. This equates to an average blood sugar of 300 mg/dl. For perspective, a normal A1C is below 5.7 percent, equating to an average blood sugar under 117 mg/dl.Typically, their medications were already maximized when they came to the clinic. Still, most of them had never focused on lifestyle changes with the goal of getting off the insulin and other diabetic medications that worsen diabetes over time. We sought to shift their focus to not just managing diabetes but reversing it. The motivated patients were often able to gain control of their diabetes and taper or discontinue the use of insulin.

A roadmap to wellness

For starters, the current dietary guidelines for diabetics are woefully lacking. Even complex carbohydrates are broken down into simple sugar in the body. One cup of brown rice is equivalent to nine teaspoons of sugar, or 45 grams of carbs; the sugar load on the body is the same.

Tips safeguarding your child’s mental health directorKnecht,Robyn of School,IndianJoseph’singcounselforSt. play helps alleviate stress

Even pre-pandemic, mental health challenges were the leading cause of disability and poor life outcomes in young people, with up to one in six children ages three to 17 in the U.S. having a mental, emotional, developmental, or behavioral disorder, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “The pandemic has been incredibly disruptive for youth since it has affected routines, access to social activities, and virtually every aspect of their lives,” said Robyn Knecht, director of counseling for St. Joseph’s Indian School, a Native American residential school that helps students move beyond the cycle of poverty, addiction and mental illness with an education and opportunities for a brighter future. “Offsetting those impacts requires an active response from trusted adults that promote healthy development and well-being.”

If you’re concerned about your children, or another child close to you, consider these tips from Knecht and St. Joseph’s.

Today’s kids are experiencing unprecedented levels of stress and anxiety at home, at school, and in their communities. The COVID-19 pandemic, which affected kids in all those places, only exacerbated the problem.

The people surrounding youth influence their behavior directly and indirectly. Each child needs a team of actively involved adults at home, school, and within the community leading by example and encouraging success. Similarly, encouraging friendships with peers who demonstrate positive habits and good decisionmaking skills can provide a sense of connectivity and beneficial peer pressure.

The surgeon general issued an Advisory on Youth Mental Health Crisis to highlight the urgent need to address the growing concern.

While this can be exciting and joyful for many children, some may find the transition from carefree days at the park or public pool to structured schedules, classroom time, and peer expectations overwhelming.

As noted below, nearly 20 percent of young people will experience a mental health condition at any given time. And according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, 50 percent of all lifetime mental health conditions begin before the age of 14, and 75 percent start before the age of 24. September is a good month to refocus on the well-being of our children.

Encourage Academic Achievement and Aspirations Not every student is destined to be valedictorian, but every student can give his or

Teach Coping and ProblemSolving Skills

How your child responds to and navigates challenges is as important as the outcome. Teaching your child how to accept disappointment, navigate conflict and be solution-oriented in the face of adversity can serve him or her throughout life.

A sense of connectivity is vital for humans at any age. Encouraging participation in group activities can help create opportunities to form bonds with other children whose families share similar values and interests. Examples include sports teams and religious groups, as well as age-appropriate jobs where teens can interact with other kids learning the value of hard work.

Although it’s natural to test limits, kids need clear boundaries. Consistently communicating your expectations for behavior and values sets a bar for your child and demonstrates your care and commitment to his or her success. Backing up your expectations with reasonable consequences when your child falls short can help teach responsibility and accountability.

If you notice changes in your child’s behavior or routine, be inquisitive and partner with him or her to work through them. If your child doesn’t open up, it’s OK to find another trusted adult he or she can connect with. Ask your child if there is someone he or she would feel comfortable talking to and look into counseling services in your community. Additionally, mentor and social service programs can help support your child’s journey and foster a supportive network. Find more ways to address the challenges facing today’s youth at stjo.org.

How to Stay Healthy When Air Quality Isn’t

By Tonya Madden

As is always true with health-related matters, prevention is the best cure, and that starts with paying attention to air quality before venturing outside. The En vironmental Protection Agency monitors air quality, including levels of particulate matter, on its website, AirNow.gov. There’s also an app you can download from the site to your mobile device to keep track of air quality in your specific location.

94 BOZZIMEDIA.com SEPTEMBER 2022 HEALTH BEAT air quality

Heat waves and wildfires have become all too common elements of summer in the Inland Northwest. The stagnant air that comes along with high temperatures, and the smoke and other particulates that fires emit, are the perfect recipe for high levels of air pollution and unhealthy air quality.

August and September have tradition ally seen the worst Air Quality Index (AQI) with wind blowing smoke into the Inland Northwest from wildfires in Oregon and Northern California. Last year, in late August, the local Air Quality Index (AQI) passed 200 and veered into “very un healthy” territory. For most people, a mild amount of smoke in the air is simply ir ritating, but when the AQI passes 150 even those in excellent health can experience reactions such as watering eyes, sneezing, coughing, and shortness of breath, particu larly if they’re outdoors for an extended period.The biggest health threat from smoke comes from the complex mixture of harm ful gases like carbon monoxide and fine particles produced when wood and other organic materials burn. These microscopic particles can penetrate deep into the lungs and bloodstream, potentially worsening existing conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).“Anykind of irritant to which you get exposed is going to cause some degree of stress in the body,” says Benjamin Arthurs, MD, a pulmonologist with MultiCare Rockwood Clinic in Spokane. “Resulting inflammation, predominantly in the respi ratory tract, can translate to downstream effects in the nervous and cardiovascular system.”“The people at highest risk already have sensitivity,” Arthurs adds. “They’re the ones who won’t have the reserve to tolerate it.”

If leaving the house is unavoidable when air quality is dangerous, Arthurs ad vises people to wear N95 respirator masks, which are designed to filter small particles.

According to Arthurs, compelling data links particulate intake to heart attacks and strokes. “When you look at it from the perspective of epidemiology, where we ex amine the rate of heart related issues in the month when we don’t have wildfire smoke compared to when we do, there’s a clear signal that more people die when wildfire smoke is present.”

For those with asthma or COPD, Arthurs stresses the need to formulate an action plan, including making sure you always have working inhalers, including rescue inhalers, on hand—and that you know how to use them. This is particularly important for people living in rural areas and outlying communities who are at the added risk of being directly impacted by wildfires themselves. Oftentimes, residents can’t return to their homes for days, so hav ing an emergency kit ready to travel can be a lifesaver.“Common sense trumps everything,” Arthurs says. “If you’re feeling the effects of smoke, and it’s making you cough, have tightness in the chest or trouble breathing, you need to take it seriously and limit your exposure.”

ummer is a season ripe with opportunities to learn lessons that can only come from boating. Whether we are fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, water skiing, or canoeing, my family has always said, “If it floats, it boats.” My first boat was a 17-foot Boston Whaler Striper that my ichthyologist father purchased as both a fishing and skiing boat for our family. The “Bobber Alonger” was towed to and sailed upon every lake in Eastern Washington and most of the lakes in Northern Idaho and Western Montana. Our well-loved boat took us fishing as far away as the Puget Sound and Campbell River, Canada. Because of our boat, I developed a love of fishing and became a decent kneeboarder and weather watcher. A surprising bonus was learning curse words and examples of how adults use them when one’s boating venture goes awry.

Expensive gas-guzzling toys that we tell ourselves are a necessity for summer adventures are great on the day you buy them and better on the day you sell them, or so we have been told. My husband and I purchased our 1998 “vintage ski boat” three years ago from a cousin who is notorious for his “Midas touch” – whatever he touches will break and require a king’s sum of gold to fix. We, unfortunately, did not heed this historical warning and have since used our fickle boat as an opportunity to make friends with the many generous people who have towed us back to shore. This boat visited almost every marine mechanic shop in the Sandpoint, Sagle, and Spokane areas. The greatest of all the shops to service “the Midas” was the Hagadone Marine Group. They are the only locally certified Malibu shop who finally fixed the overheating problem so that this summer we could travel more than 100 feet. Fun fact: Malibu boats have not one but two thermostats that can becomeEvenstuck.when our boat is fixed and waterready, opportunities abound for chaos and catastrophe to ensue. For example, the odious endeavor that is parallel parking one’s car becomes abundantly preferable when compared to dealing with boats tied up at the dock. Last week I was backing out of a busy and tight space while a cantankerous fisherman was preoccupied with untying his many mangled lines. My boat only reverses to the right, and because the water creates a strong current on busy days from all the waves, he did not notice that his ropes had loosened, Pier in Sagle, Idaho

The greatest lesson is that while boats are supposed to be fun, they are also something that comes with risk and responsibility. Our excellent Bonner County Sheriff Department provides help and a balanced approach to law enforcement and boater safety education. Visit Bonnerso.org/marine for courses and training resources.Andhere’s a hack: utilize the Sandpoint Osprey Cam at Ospreys.SandpointOnline. com to get a bird’s eye view on how busy the Memorial Field Launch is. I use it to determine if I have a decent window or if I should have another cup of coffee prior to dragging the boat to the launch. Happy boating my friends!

Tonya Sherman and her husband, Scott, have been chasing their dream of living ski-townlifestyles. In 2006 they built a house on acreage outside Priest River before moving in 2019 to downtown Sandpoint. They have a love of “Place” and the wild outdoors. You can find Scott on Strava at strava.com/athletes/90224223 and Tonya wherever the possibility takes her. nor did he see my struggle until I revved the motor to ensure my boat spun the last three inches without a collision. I managed to avoid crashing, navigate the funnel, and get out of the chaos to drift in the lake and get situated. He later gunned his aluminum utility boat directly at me and swerved at the last minute in a single’s game of chicken to make his aggravated point about “slowing down.” I pretended he was joking with me, apologized, and hoped for a better outcome next week when I could see my neighbor without fish and he could see me at the helm of the boat. Although living near the lake seems to require a boat, or better still, friends with boats, you do not need a boat to enjoy the boating scene. There are limitless options for entertainment both on and off the water. Just head down to the Memorial or City Beach docks on a Saturday evening to take part in the comedy. I recommend bringing your favorite beverage and a comfortable lawn chair so you can spectate people trying to launch boats while keeping their vehicle from sinking, trailer from jackknifing, or boat falling off the trailer. I laugh with deep hypocrisy because I personally refuse to launch our boat without a sign that says “patience please, just learning” or a T-shirt apologizing for my language. Watching people “get situated” can be entertaining, but only if you are not actively trying to get onto (excited to play) or off (hot and tired) of the lake. Please try to get your gear in the boat while out of the way or waiting in the parking lot. Your miscellaneous gear should be safely stowed in the boat and not in the vehicle launching the boat to avoid chaos and one’s belongings ending up in the water.

My friends Charley Gurche and Jack Nisbet take hockey skates to Queen Lucas Lake. The roundtrip to that lake is 18 miles. The asphalt is heaved up in spots from pine roots growing underneath. The outbound FLT gains 416 feet, making the path back a relative breeze. Several years ago, a biker passed me towing a small rowboat he had managed to hitch to wheels. The name Fish Lake Trail is a bit of misnomer. You can’t get to Fish Lake from there. You need to stray from the trail at seven miles, take a right on Scribner Road and cross two sets of railroad tracks. Then make a hairpin left and follow the busy Cheney Spokane Road for three more miles. Funds are soon to be discovered, the forth

September is a fine time to be outdoors in the great northwest, and biking is a fine way to explore the outdoors. Come September, mosquitoes are gone, the days are cooling, the leaves starting to turn. The offroad paved routes around our region make easy outings for two-wheel tourist types. East of the border, you have the Coeur d’Alene Parkway that ends at scenic Higgins Point. The Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes twists up from the chain lakes through the Silver Valley. The Hiawatha Trail with its 1.7-mile tunnel and dizzying trestles lifts riders from Lookout Pass into Montana. Off the main roads, you shake free of those raucous pickups flyingTheflags.most convenient route from downtown Spokane is the Fish Lake Trail, or FLT. Located a block south of the junction of Government Way and Sunset Highway, behind the Restoration Church, the FLT is a perfect paved escape for casual bikers.

The trail vaults above two busy highways before the traffic clatter diminishes, and you can transcend the hurriedRidersworld.who stay the course for all nine miles will pass a swampy lake below the Fish Lake Trail. For language lovers, that lake lays claim to the strangest name around: Queen Lucas Lake. Who thinks these things up? The word queen is obviously female. Lucas is a masculine-given moniker. My friend Ed Byrnes and I bike there and watch birds in the spring, summer, and fall – eagles, goldeneye and bufflehead ducks, pelicans, and herons. Turtles sun on rocky knobs along the shore. Graffitied train cars cast reflections as they rumble past on rails. The image of a train above and its mirrored twin in the water below can almost hypnotize.

Riding

Many garages harbor aging cycles. Search yours for a vintage hulk forgotten in some corner. Lube the chain and pump up the tires. Better yet, hire a bike shop to inject a sealant in the tubes. That way you can buy some frugal peace of mind against a flat tire while pedaling in the BigRememberOutside. how good it feels to reclaim those biking legs, the synovial fluid lubricating the knees, the wind freshening your face.

Folks who have a Discover Pass can drive the Cheney Spokane Road and park at Fish Lake Regional Park, then take the paved part of the Columbia Plateau Trail toward Cheney for a 7.5-mile roundtrip. Parts of that trail resemble a tunnel with high sides. Before rails were converted to trails, we know, hired laborers chopped through rock to flatten the grade. The leavings of those immigrant laborers remind me they were more than mere machines. A century after Italian workmen did their sweaty work swinging sledgehammers and picks, vestiges of their rock ovens crumble. I stumbled on the ruins of one of them while watching birds. Waterfowl forgotten for the nonce, I regarded the collapsing dome beneath my feet. It was thick with lichens, the mud mortar between the stones all washed away. Nature had taken over. It resembled a heap of facial features, reminding me how people’s faces cave and wither with old age. It reminded me how, when gums begin to shrink, elders tend to grow “long of tooth.”

One charm of outdoor presence is the focus on minutiae, the twinkling of small things. The serenity can be profound, even on the electric bike my colleague Larry Cebula rides. In July of 2022, he rode from Taft, Montana, to LaPush, Washington. Like EVs of all kinds, e-bikes are proliferating around the nation. Lands managers now are squirming to determine the legality of electric bikes, which can exceed speed limits and tear up hiking trails. Bicycling is a sport for every age. As the old saying goes, once you learn how to do it, you never forget. I learned how in an empty department store parking lot on a Sunday in Seattle. I straddled the saddle, rested a foot on a pedal, and felt my beloved father give me a shove. I was a fledgling on the first plunge from the downy nest, a newborn fawn on wobbly legs. During the pandemic people took to bicycles. They ventured outdoors to duck potentially viral indoor environs. They explored our public lands in record numbers. Secondhand bicycles became hard to find. Supply-chain delays for new bikes and replacement parts worsened the shortfall.

Using local basalt, the laborers made shift to bake dense loaves of bread. Think wood-fired pizza today. A slate slab toted from camp to camp functioned as the oven floor. Wood burnt in the oven heated the whole dome. Then the baker spread meal on the slate slab, inserted the dough, and sealed the door. To bake a loaf from start to finish took a quarter-hour.Inthatheap of oven which I discovered, the fallen door resembled a tooth-shaken laborer’s mumbling mouth. For the émigré workers who baked bread and leveled railbeds, Europe might have seemed like a stained and tainted underworld, America a wondrous promised land. At a kiosk near the end of the Columbia Plateau Trail’s paved part, a slight gravel rise leads to an unnamed pond, a bench, and shade from sun or rain. Bring binoculars. Scan for otters in the water and yellowheaded blackbirds whose songs like rusty hinges skreich. See clouds luff by and smell the alkali that saturates our region’s pothole lakes.
