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.
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

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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. hesitancy is simply a nonjudgmental way of saying vaccine ignorance.

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. e Handle With Care initiative further supports youth identi ed at the scene of a traumatic event. Police o cers, 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 o enses by providing funding for treatment services focused on a therapeutic, whole family approach.

Stop the Silence (STS) was created in the a ermath of a tragic loss. In 2017, Jesseka Frazer-Musson was murdered by her ancé 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-pro t 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.
Reports and data show Spokane’s domestic violence rates are higher than anywhere else in Washington. e emotional, mental, and physical costs upon our community are profound as it impacts rates of homelessness, medical needs, and mental health.

And it violates the law. Spokane’s municipal ordinance is a legal mandate. e city is required by law to have a working strategy in place for bringing people indoors during extreme weather events.
FIRST LOOK spokane rising spokanerising
In late June of 2021, the Paci c 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, ooding, 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 Loo Carousel building and (mostly) the generosity of nonpro t homeless shelter operators. More than 20 people died from the heat, according to the Spokane County Medical Examiner.
Unfortunately,response. this July and August, it happened again. e heat arrived and, despite a week of extreme temperatures exceeding 95º F, administration o cials only managed to extend hours at select libraries. at was it.
With no help from the city or county, which are both ush with federal relief funds that can be used for this purpose, nonpro t 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 makeshi 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.

ese 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.
Second, the city must establish a stronger outreach and support program for elderly and disabled residents living in neighborhoods. Most of the people who died in the 2021 heatwave were elderly—many in poverty or without air conditioning. e Fire Department could provide support here, as could neighborhood groups and community
organizations. e city could also take a leaf from the federal infrastructure package and provide grants for electric heat pumps, prioritizing these vulnerable populations. 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. at leaves the work to nonpro ts, 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?
Heat and Humanity
e 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. e ordinance also called for an annual publication of a plan for shelter operations. Presumably, such a plan would include the identi cation of spaces, services, and nonpro t partners in advance of extreme weather so as to simplify and implement a swi
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. e proposed shelter for the former warehouse at 4320 E. Trent Avenue is a good rst step, but questions remain about whether Camp Hope residents and advocates have been adequately engaged in the process.

e year was 1886, and the Washington and Idaho Fair Association held the very rst 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 a er year. Indeed, right as the Fair had started building momentum, the Great Fire of 1889 halted the harvest celebration. e re may have canceled the festivities, but it didn’t stop Washington from entering statehood two months later, on November 11.
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. e 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?
By P.R. Burgess
e 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
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

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?

Portrait of an author as a young woman
Chelsea: I think being in col lege is a time for that anyway. You’re guring out where you t in and nding new friend groups, and going o 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 re ection happening in art school, speci cally because of having to mine your life or your interests for material.
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.

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, speci cally in college?
Rebecca is a Spokane-based ction writer, essayist, and playwright. She has an MFA in creative non ction from Eastern Washington University. Her work has been published in Prairie Schooner, e Account: A Journal of Poetry, Prose, and ought, e Swamp, and Alien Magazine. Her one-minute play, "First Trip," was performed during Stage Le ’s Fast and Furious Festival 2020. Her ash ction piece “Hypnosis” was selected for the Wigleaf Top 50 Very Short Fictions 2021.
Rebecca: Self-portraits are a big part of this novel. Joey’s assignment in her experimental lm class is to create a self-portrait in lm— 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?
the moment you’re making one or what you want to convey about yourself. So yeah, the self-portrait lm, which she agonizes over the whole book, is like, “What am I saying about myself? Why did I think this was important?”
Spokane-based
author Chelsea Mar tin has been a darling of the indie lit scene ever since she published her rst collection of short stories, Everything Was Fine Until Whatever, from Future Tense Books, in 2009. Since then, she has published several books of poetry, ction, and non ction, most notably her hilarious memoir, Caca Dolce: Essays from a Lowbrow Life, which was published by So 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.”
I wasn’t speci cally thinking a lot about gender when writing this, but I de nitely 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.
Martin’s new novel, Tell Me I’m an Artist, is the coming-of-age story of a self-conscious and despon dent (but o en 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.
ey all have problems. ere’s this baby. It feels like really important life stu 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 stu 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.
Rebecca: Joey struggles with self-doubt about
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?
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 de nitely doesn’t get easier, but I feel like I worked through a lot of that writ lilac lit
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 t into these di erent roles while just being one person. And I think self-portraits are a cool re ection of how you’re seeing yourself in
Rebecca: It’s interesting you still haven’t seen it even a er writing the book.
In art school, there was an “even-ing” of class stu because rich people didn’t want to appear rich. It wasn’t cool to be using a ton of resources or aunting 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 nd 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.”
e 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. e 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. e 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 a er art school are usually people who have connections and learn that stu elsewhere.
Rebecca: I was curious about Rushmore, the movie that Joey is remaking even though she hasn’t seen it. I liked how there are di erent versions of the Rushmore remake throughout the book and how di erent characters have di erent ideas of what it means. I was curi ous how you picked that movie and whether you’ve seen Rushmore
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. e art is seen as universal. On the other hand, Suz doesn’t seem aware of how her class privilege in uences her work. So, I was interested in how privilege is either invisible or ignored. Is that something you’ve seen?
Rebecca: I actually haven’t seen Rushmore
Chelsea Martin in her studio
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 Martin and Sharma Shields discuss Martin’s new novel at the Spokane Central Library
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.
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.
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 stu because, yeah, people want to subvert [class hierarchies].
Chelsea: I know. I’m wondering if I should watch it or just forever be like…
Chelsea: Oh, cool.

Tell Me I’m an Artist Book Launch and Signing
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 a ord 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.
Rebecca: De nitely. I feel like even in my MFA program, there wasn’t much talk of
ing this book. ose feelings of inadequacy and “ is 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.

year ago, artist Shelli Walters le 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. e 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 In her studio
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:
Shelli spent the earliest years of her childhood living in a beach town on the Oregon coast. “ e 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.”
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 Walters at Marmot Art Space
Oh, but my darling, What if you y?
On the breezes of the sky,
And you ask, “What if I fall?”
ere is freedom waiting for you,
“I was the youngest of ve 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.”
like love

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 nd 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. “ ey 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.”
LavendarPicnicbuzzWithoutUnravelingasound
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.” ey are those who create work that has irresistible energy and freedom while still being cohesive in their nal presentation. While visiting the Georgia O’Keefe museum, she found herself crying. “Not because of her art, but for her,” Shelli said. “ e 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.”
Feels
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 o ered in art class, she did receive a lot of encourage ment in her artistic endeavors from parents, friends, and teachers.
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:
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.
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.
Time to y.
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 super cial, 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. rough 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 nds 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. “ ey 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. “ ere were weeks and weeks that I was not able to paint. ere has been an overwhelming amount to deal with, and its incredibly fragmenting. When I got back into the studio, I started seeing a shi in composition and color. ere is a simpli cation 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.”
Time to trust my wings and synchronicity”

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.
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,

Regardless of the case, being a bright spot in an otherwise terrible situation motivates her to balance the scales of justice when someone is hurt, and they need Sara’shelp.

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 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.”

Get to work
Undermount sinks not only look modern, but there’s no lip to get un der for cleaning. 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.
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 xtures, and pendant lights are an e cient and attractive solu tion. One nal recommendation is to have each light source on a separate control and dimmer. is gives you in nite options for creating the per fect ambiance for any situation.
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. According to Spokane remodeling expert Dave Covillo, oating shelves and vanity cabinets constructed with vertical or horizon tal grain wood, such as walnut, white oak, and Sapele, help open up spaces in a contemporary style.

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.
Remission should be the goal
So, think of insulin resistance as the stalk of a noxious weed and each disease it causes as the individual leaves coming o 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.

Metabolic Syndrome and Type 2 Diabetes
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 ve 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.
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 o en progresses to type 2 diabetes. And type 2 diabetes has its own seemingly inevitable trajectory.

e 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.
De ne the goal rst, and the solutions will follow
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.
While working in oncology for 15 years, our priority was to de ne the primary goal of treatment, and that goal was o en to cure or achieve remission of cancer. Most people go to great lengths to ght their cancer. For many with insulin resistance, their associated
A roadmap to wellness
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! ese 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. e 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.

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. e 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. e Diabetes Remission Clinical Trial (DiRECT) demonstrated continued remission at two years if more than 22 pounds were kept o . Sustained remission was directly linked to the extent of sustained weight loss.
Twenty years ago, I managed high-risk diabetics at our local Veterans A airs Medical Center. Veterans had to have an A1C greater than 12 percent to qualify for the program. is 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 o the insulin and other diabetic medications that worsen diabetes over time.

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.

A sense of connectivity is vital for humans at any age.

Talk about the future and impress upon your child that many careers require further training through college, trade school, or another form of advanced education. Talk with your child about setting academic goals and equip him or her with the tools necessary to achieve them. Find things your child is passionate about and encourage participation in activities that foster development.
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.
Don’t Be Afraid to Seek Outside Help
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 nd 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.
