LETTERS TO THE EDITOR/what you had to say

FAREWELL Stephanie, I just found the time to read Spokane CDA Living magazine and was saddened to read your farewell letter. I want to let you know how much I enjoyed reading every single article you wrote. The very first page I turn to when I receive the magazine is your editorial and before I even made it to my front door I was always captivated by your writing. You are truly a gifted writer, and I will miss your articles a lot. Reading your articles always seemed as though I was right there next to you listening to you. My best wishes for a successful and wonderful future.

–Mariah Henry SADNESS AND JOY Stephanie, we've not had the pleasure of meeting, but I do feel like I know something of your essence from reading your essays from time to time. The sadness is in you apparently leaving and the joy is what you hopefully will find in your next step of the journey.

I've always been somewhat amazed with the intimacy and heart filled writing from you each month, while at the same time you imbued it with clarity, intelligence, balance, and selfawareness. I really have felt, and feel this more sharply now, that your monthly essays were really the heart and soul of the magazine for me. I was happy that the infusion of such an aware and spiritual perspective was projected into the community every month. I am positive it had an effect, probably more profound than we would expect, because we cannot see the influence in the subtle realms.

I will wish you the best but know that it's not necessary, because your talents have both heart and mind and will carry you into success, I'm sure of that. Thanks for all you've given and take care.

–Roger F.

BOZZIMEDIA.com / SEPTEMBER 2020

LILACS & LEMONS In one of your "lilacs" in the Aug 2020 edition of Spokane CDA Living you stated that “I sense that their (mask) efficacy is fairly minimal.”

This is a completely inaccurate statement regarding the public health utility of masking and minimizes the important impact of this simple intervention on the spread of COVID19. It is unclear whether your statement was made after review of the salient medical literature or was based on some other "sense" that is unsubstantiated by data and

science.

Furthermore, you go on to state that "when someone is not wearing a mask, I don't assume the worst." That is fine, but there is essentially no valid medical reason that adults cannot wear a mask.

While some groups have portrayed mask wearing as a "personal choice" that somehow infringes on their freedoms, we routinely accept restrictions on our personal freedom to reduce harm to society as a whole. Examples would be the restriction of drunk driving or laws preventing indoor smoking at restaurants.

Mask wearing is the same thing.

As someone who has personally cared for dozens of critically ill COVID19 patients, many of whom have died, statements like yours contribute to the ongoing difficulty our nation is having managing this pandemic which at the current pace will likely eclipse 250,000 deaths in the U.S. before the end of the year. To put the scope of this catastrophe in perspective, this is more than the entire population of Spokane.

–Stephen Malkoski, MD / PHD, Intensivist PUBLISHER’S RESPONSE If you re-read the item, I was giving a LILACS to mask wearers and I said that even if the efficacy may be fairly minimal (I've seen many studies to that effect) a small gain is a worthy gain for something so minimally inconvenient. I went on to say that when someone is wearing a mask I view them as making a deliberate choice to care. We are much closer than you may think on this subject.

Thank you for your service and sacrifice.

–Vince Bozzi

EDITOR LETTER/a note from Stephanie

To the Legacies

We Build

B

aby Paipai, my darling freshly turned one-year old grand girl, has been out of sorts this morning.

She sinks her pudgy fingers into the flesh of my upper arms and tugs up, straining every muscle in her darling face to convey the need for me to rise up with her wrapped in my arms. It’s the singing and the swaying this precious cargo craves when she’s tired or unwell or upset or in need of a reset. She singsongs with me, patting my back, and with the relief and gratification of placing the final piece in a puzzle, she eventually tucks her heavy head into the comfort of my neck and releases a big sigh as she slips off to sleep.

Here I am, now sitting beside her pink blanket wrapped baby burrito body on my big white linen covered bed as the sounds of her snoozes carry up and away within the breeze of the window fan, filling the shadows of my darkened room with peace, love, grace and mercy. My thoughts clutch my throat for a moment—having just wrapped up my encore issue of the magazine and as I pen this final-final editor letter—that she’ll never know me as a magazine editor, a me I’ve been proud of and known so deeply for so many years, and a me that is now shifting into the unchartered territory of redefining where and how I’ll show up in the world moving forward. Oh, but is the heart and soul of life really that complicated? Must I give what I do professionally so much power over my

14

BOZZIMEDIA.com / SEPTEMBER 2020

identity? Will this baby girl mind what kind of work I do as long as the puzzle piece of my nuzzle-y neck remains available to receive her tender moments?

LOOKING BACK He always answered the door with an enthusiasm that pushed us back on our heels. The record player would be spinning, but he knew we would each need a turn choosing one of our favorite songs from his meticulously organized record collection. I think I most loved how he scooped up our mother in his arms, verbally sharing how grateful he was to see her, to see us.

My grandfather passed away when I was 7 years old, but I feel as though I’m filled with a full lifetime’s worth of memories with him. Perhaps those memories are so big because his love was larger than life, so much so that his infusion and influence upon my mind and heart couldn’t be interrupted by the distance of death.

He would gently grab each hand of mine in each of his and pull me closer. I would instinctively step up on his toes and we would begin the welcome dance. My brothers always giggled and wriggled their way out of his grasp, so I was the lucky one who learned early on that dancing was how you invested the best moments of glee and love and … life.

I would work up a thirst with all of the spinning and singing and smiling, but I knew—through somewhat traumatic, personal investigations—to never sip from the ice “water” glass that sat atop the speaker. That was grandpa’s “special drink” and it would grab the attention of every fiber of your being upon passing over your lips and dragging itself down your throat. Years later, as a young adult, I would recognize the flavor of grandpa’s drink while sipping from a passed bottle behind a barn during a graduation party. They called it whiskey, and I learned the same lesson I had as a child: it was not for me. But it made me smile nonetheless, thinking of my grandfather as a young man in a similar moment behind the barn with his own friends.

Aside from two incredibly cranky canines who could strip our bones of our flesh, and a troop of rock pelting, frothy mouthed kids from across the creek that ran behind my grandfather’s home, times at his house were some of the very best of

my early years. And I have no recollection of the work he did or his professional endeavors.

Now, as a young glamma of two brilliant little mighty girls—4 ½ year old Love Nugget and her baby sister sound asleep at my side—I reflect back on those days with my grandfather, the only parent of my parents who lived long enough to meet—and enjoy—grandkids. I knew his love was different from my parents’ love, and valuable in ways only he could provide.

Even though my parents looked at me with a sparkle in their eyes, there was something deeper and sparklier about the way in which my grandfather gazed upon me (and I’m sure my pesky non-dancing brothers, too) that made me feel whole and complete and protected and strong and important.

And, little did I know, that deep and sparkly love would come back to me again in the physical world with the way my grand girls look at me that brings tears to my eyes and makes me feel the rhythm of my own heart. Through every “Do I have to go, Glamma?” and every sticky little hand—or four, because glammas are hard to share sometimes—that stretches toward me with the words “hold me,” the real and raw and true definition of love and life rises up in my heart and soul in ways that remind me no matter how rigid the world sometimes feels, there are equal parts purity and preciousness that we have the honor to contribute to, and perpetuate out into the world, for this moment, and for all the generations to come … regardless of how many professional iterations we evolve into, or what we do outside the walls of our homes—ultimately, the legacy we leave is defined in the reflection of our love seen and felt and embedded within those around us.

The baby is stirring and I feel a dance party coming on, because that’s how we do life in this house on a Friday morning when the grands grace me with their presence.

Thank you for the years—it has been an honor to be your editor. Find me on social media to stay connected, and enjoy the next chapter of this magazine.

To the legacies we build, Stephanie Regalado stephanie@spokanecda.com

EDITOR INTRODUCTION/a note from megan

Meet Megan, Your New Editor

T

his is a strange time to take on this role. When this issue makes its way to your mailbox, I can’t meet any of you in person and reveal that I’m just an awkward woman trying to figure things out, something which comes across in-person immediately. The basic rundown is that I’m a single mom with two little boys, a border collie, a black cat, and three chickens.

I grew up in the Chicago suburbs, and I’ve lived in Spokane for five years. I spent the previous three at The Spokesman-Review, and the two before that at Eastern Washington University, where I received a Master of Fine Arts in creative writing.

I love to karaoke, but I’m an awful singer. My best friend and I sing “Hakuna Matata,” but when we get to the mic, we can never remember who is supposed to be Timon and who is supposed to be Pumba.

That’s probably not enough to go on, I know that. I hate the idea that you’re going to be dealing with this new voice—my voice— when we’re already going through colossal change. We have at least that in common, but I’d like to think there might be some more pleasant commonalities than living through a pandemic.

I want to find out what else we have in common, and also what makes us different. The latter interests me more, actually.

And here’s another thing I want to tell you about me: I love

16

BOZZIMEDIA.com / SEPTEMBER 2020

mail. Not junk mail or bills, but packages, magazines, and most of all, letters. I am a proud letter-writer and letter-receiver. An email, a text, a phone call—these are all nice, but in no way compare to receiving a letter from someone I care about. I’m blessed to have people in my life who seem to get a letter to me at just the right time. I keep them in a box, and when I’m having a day where everything seems impossible, I open it up, pick a letter at random, and read. I remember that I have the most wonderful people rooting for me.

Letter-writing is powerful. In this issue, Curtis Rystadt—who restored Hotel Indigo with a passion for its history—reveals he discovered that love because of a U.S. History teacher who made the subject come alive by reading letters between politicians.

We are living history; let’s give future generations something they can hold in their hands. Let them learn that people craving connection returned to something that had been all but forgotten, that we dusted it off and wondered why we’d left it in the back of the closet in the first place. Let’s write everything down.

My mom always said, “Use your words.” The one last thing that I want you to know about me is that I lost my mom a year and a half ago to lung cancer. If my life were a line starting on April 17, 1986 and shooting off into the distance, there would be a big black dot on February 2, 2019, because my life is best defined by before I lost her and after.

But I’m going to tell you about something that happened a few days after that black dot. My siblings and I were sorting through our mom’s belongings, and we found a chockload of letters to our mom—letters from my great Grandma Cille, letters from her siblings and friends.

And we read, and we read. We saw our mom through new eyes, and I’ll tell you this: my mom had the most wonderful people rooting for her. We laughed at some of the things we read, and the laughter felt like more of a relief than the crying. Letter-writing is powerful, and you don’t have to be a senator.

So here’s my offer: write me a letter, tell me about yourself, ask me whatever you want. Tell me what song you sing in the shower or what you love about Spokane. Tell me about the person you miss, the person you can’t write a letter to anymore. I’ll write you back, and not some form letter, an actual letter with my sloppy cursive. I’ll take time with what you’ve told me and answer honestly. Add to my box, and I’ll add to yours.

And if you don’t send one to me (because who am I, really?), send one to someone who would be a big, black dot for you. Catch them before the after.

Sincerely yours,

Megan Louise MeganR@bozzimedia.com

e think our new business is exactly what the local economy needs right now: a new way to support local,” says Mariah Brooks, co-owner and CEO of Inland Northwest Trading Co., an emerging Spokane-owned subscription box service featuring products made by people in the Inland Northwest, for people in the Inland Northwest. “With small businesses shuttering after COVID-19, we wanted to provide local and regional makers with a convenient way to connect with consumers.”

Brooks and her partner Gary Bailey started Inland Northwest Trading Co. when they both lost their jobs due to COVID-19. “Our subscription boxes are a great way to support a multitude of small businesses at once, as well as a great opportunity to discover new and unique items from around our region,” she says.

“As our business grows, we are continuing to create partnerships with makers from around our region,” says Brooks. “We feel our subscription boxes are a great way for people to support the economy in a time when small businesses need it the most, without ever needing to leave their houses.”

LILACS to Spokane Artist Chris Bovey who

helped save the historic Ming Wah sign on Third Avenue in downtown Spokane. He made a cool print of the sign when he first started his historic print design business and was distraught when a windstorm toppled the sign on April 9. It would have been prohibitively expensive for the owner of the restaurant to build a new one, but Chris’ GoFundMe campaign brought in more than $15,000.

Chris, let’s get lunch there soon—on me.

LILACS to Mayor Woodward for developing a great plan for the homeless in our city. Rather than propose the usual stopgap measures, she’s proposing permanent shelters, and she’s working with other local governments for a more comprehensive plan. She even abandoned her previous stance of mandatory jail time for those who refuse treatment. Some can, and do, recover from addiction, but it needs to be on their timetable, or it won’t work. We salute her for rolling up her sleeves and doing real work on this pressing issue.

LEMONS to Kate Burke and other members of the Spokane City Council who want to discourage Sheriff Knezovich’s training of officers by Dave Grossman on “killology,” an unfortunate title, which prepares them for that moment when they must use deadly force. This is not a police brutality issue; it’s a police training issue.

Even the staunchest critics of deadly force know that when the moment comes for that decision to be made, it’s better to have received training and to be decisive. When someone holding a gun won’t drop it, do you want to ponder the situation for minutes while the person with the gun is thinking in terms of seconds?

LILACS to the three public health advocates who are imploring the Spokane City Council to add fluoride to the city’s water. The council may be able to hold a simple council vote rather than hold another public vote, which last occurred 20 years ago and was close.

Dentists say that they can tell which cities have fluoride in their water (and 75 percent do) by simply counting cavities. Spokane has notoriously poor oral health, and early oral health is a harbinger of adult oral health. Let’s join the modern world and save young families thousands in dental bills.

LEMONS to the school districts that aren’t giving parents and students a choice as to whether to attend school or do it from home. Offering onsite distance learning to students who will sit in classrooms in order to watch their teacher who is sitting at home 20

BOZZIMEDIA.com / SEPTEMBER 2020

seems ludicrous, although kudos to them for trying to help parents who struggle with daycare. At least one of our clients decided to close her business rather than coping with the demands of online learning. We do applaud the loaning of laptops to every student but wonder how they can afford it. And why not allow the distance learning to occur in the evening hours so parents, mostly who work in the daytime, could help out?

LILACS to the Kalispel Tribe for bidding to buy the Usk paper mill, which went out of business last June. The tribe maintains that they are the best owners for the land as they will be the best generational stewards of the 900-acre parcel.

It would provide jobs for the tribe and others, and they have the funds and desire to properly create cultural interpretive sites on the land that most owners would simply fence off.

LILACS to Spokane Fire Chief Brian Schaeffer, who has a great idea for reducing the wildfire fuel in Hangman Park by using goats to chomp all the vegetation and noxious weeds away. Happy goats, happy parks. Some of the steep hillsides are difficult to navigate, but goats love the challenge. If this works, they’ll bring the goats to other parks as well. This will give new meaning to the garbage eating goat in Riverfront Park. We may want to change our official city mammal from marmot to goat. We already have two businesses, at least, with “goat” in their name, and only one with “marmot,” so it seems the goats have it.

Lewis and Clark High School is

more than 100 years old and on both the National and State Historic Registers.

Passing under the skybridge on Stevens, I always watch for students crossing and new posters and messages painted on the glass, signs of the bustling activity behind its serene facade. It is an excellent

example of an historic brick building in Spokane that is still in heavy use. Though, of course, during these strange times, it is currently empty. My heart is with all the students missing normal school days with friends. Lewis and Clark will still be here when you can finally go back, ready for the next 100 years.

Urban loft condos. Suburban apartments on the fringe. Hip apartments aimed at

professionals and grad students in the University District. The largest apartment building at Coeur d’Alene’s Riverstone development in years. And of course, The Falls, a massive threetower complex on the North Bank which would include Spokane’s first new skyscrapers in decades.

In contrast with the conventional wisdom that new development projects slow in a recession, it seems that just about everywhere in the region, housing developers are diving into new projects. Given that the last recession shut down dozens of similar projects, it feels a bit eerie. I recall at least a dozen significant projects (like the Gateway Building, 153 South Wall, and the Vox Tower) which never came to fruition in downtown alone, usually due to loss of financing.

This time around, historically low interest rates and the relative fiscal stability of the banks have meant developers are able to continue borrowing. And the projects keep coming: In the University District, a Portland developer hopes to break ground late this year on a $20 million, 136-unit apartment building with retail space and structured parking.

The project will join the Avista-developed Catalyst Building near the south landing of the pedestrian bridge.

In the burgeoning West End, a flurry of activity continues as the Tampien brothers of 4 Degrees Real Estate plan another renovation of a historic building with Trek Architecture, set to be called the Lolo Lofts. The remodeled building will feature 6,500 square feet of

retail space and 10 apartment units, and it will join Brick West Brewing, Watts 1903, Hotel Indigo, Method Juice, and Union Yoga, among others which have been in the neighborhood for years.

Over in Coeur d’Alene, Baker Construction has broken ground on a 62unit complex near Riverstone’s pond. And on the South Hill, KXLY has a large, $60 million apartment project in the works near Target.

It’s unclear where The Falls—the threetower project on the North Bank—is in all of this, but City Council approved an incentive package for the project in January.

Larry Stone, the developer, said last year that the first tower, valued at $70 million and with 124 units, would break ground in the spring of this year. This project in particular has been a moving target, and dirt

Prove this is no Typical

Recession has yet to be turned.

Do each of these developers have enough financing to see these projects through?

Will there be tenants (or buyers) for these housing developments, given that 10 percent of Spokane County workers were unemployed in June, and many are at risk of displacement?

Will the pandemic deepen again and cause further unemployment?

What does the market for office space look like, given the significant changes which COVID-19 has forced on major employers?

That all remains to be seen.

But one thing looks all but certain: so far, this pandemic-induced recession looks nothing like 2008.

Feeling fortunate, humbled and truly blessed I have been able to capture the beauty of the Spokane area and beyond. I moved here with my children from Western Washington in 2003. My connection to community has always been strong—when I moved here, I worked as an EMT and volunteered for a local fire department for several years, finishing a long career in the Emergency Services here in Washington State. Taking photos of beautiful people and environment has always been a strong part of my being;- the artist in me truly enjoys capturing beauty and sharing it for the world to see.

Inland Northwest Opera’s Dawn

Wolski

Ensuring the Show Goes On

O

by Sarah Hauge

pera is beautiful. Allencompassing.

Transporting.

But to the uninitiated, it can also seem a little…daunting.

The best way to overcome those feelings? A live performance. That’s the view of Dawn Wolski, Inland

Northwest Opera’s general and creative director, which serves Eastern Washington and North Idaho.

“I think people are intimidated by the unknown,” says Wolski. Because it involves so many components—an orchestra, a chorus, sets, wigs, lighting, projectors, dancers—not every community can sustain opera. In the Inland Northwest we’re one of the lucky regions that has access to the art. “It’s something that’s a little harder to find in smaller communities than others. So I feel extremely fortunate that we have such a high-level opera company here.”

DATEBOOK

We’re looking to bring people together. We’re looking to find ways to unify across different demographics, different age groups.

Wolski moved to the region in 2007 from New York along with her husband, Mateusz Wolski, who is the concertmaster for the Spokane Symphony. A singer and vocal teacher, she performed with the Spokane Opera (which has since folded) and Opera Coeur d’Alene, which continued to become Inland Northwest Opera (INO). Wolski joined the administrative side of the staff at INO a little over three years ago and is doing whatever she can to help bring opera to the community.

A typical INO season runs from April to September and includes performances in a variety of venues including luncheons, cruise ships, the Martin Woldson Theater at the Fox, and community-reaching locations like elementary schools, where it’s fun to see children become engaged in the performances and root for the characters (“Kids just eat it up,” says Wolski). When the pandemic began, the usual slate had to be cleared.

“Opera is a really good story that’s told in a really big way. Unamplified, no microphones.

Opera singers are larger than life,” Wolski says.

“When they’re singing from the depths of their soul and their gut, it’s very raw and transformative … it’s definitely something that hits you physically in a way that very few other forms of art do. That much sound, it can make your body vibrate.”

Though many similar organizations have essentially been shuttered since March, Wolski (working from the home she shares with her husband and young son) has strived to find innovative ways to carry on. One of these, Opera Grams, operated like an old-fashioned singing telegram, sending an opera singer to perform (safely distanced) outdoors at private residences.

Wolski advocated for these types of performances with the governor’s office, and was influential in shaping the recent guidelines that allow live entertainment offerings like Opera Grams to continue in the COVID era.

BOZZIMEDIA.com / SEPTEMBER 2020

“Many organizations have just had to go dark,” she says. “I felt pretty strongly that that doesn’t jive with our mission. We still want live art if we can do it. That’s why I fought so hard with the government to be able to keep doing this.” Opera Grams (which ran through mid-August) weren’t a money-maker, but they did allow INO to continue hiring performers and continue exposing people to the art.

“We are one of the only organizations in Washington and north Idaho that is finding ways to bring live music that is both safe and sanctioned. I’m very proud of that,” she says.

The resiliency and adaptability evident in Wolski are traits she sees displayed in the artistic community as a whole. “Artists are always piecing things together,” she says. “Challenge is something that we seek out.” Inland Northwest Opera has demonstrated this as an organization over the past half year, whether that’s developing Opera Grams or planning to do outdoor performances on a flatbed truck when it’s sanctioned.

Despite her willingness to meet the challenges, Wolski acknowledges it’s been a taxing time; she finds some stress relief in favorite hobbies like cooking and gardening, as well as glamping and playing flashlight tag in the backyard with her family. As all parents know, these months have been unrelenting. “On the one hand we’re connecting better than ever before, but on the other hand it’s just chaos,” she acknowledges.

Wolski will continue to advocate for opera along the twisting road ahead. “Our job is just to keep putting one foot in front of the other,” she says. “That applies to us as individuals, to us as a community. If you know what your core mission is, you can adjust. My mission is not just opera. We’re looking to bring people together. We’re looking to find ways to unify across different demographics, different age groups.

From Near Collapse to Spokane Gem Hotel Indigo as West First Ave. Historical Stunner

by Megan Rowe photography by Shybeast, LLC

O

n June 7, 2017, Curtis Rystadt, Hotel Indigo owner, and Jim Kolva, Jim Kolva Associates, LLC owner, toured then-Otis Hotel at 110 S. Madison St. Though Kolva has been a historical adviser for countless prospective buyers, developers, and property owners, the Otis Hotel is personal. For 21 years, Kolva has lived a couple blocks away, and nearly every day walked past the property, which he described as an eyesore. Time and again, he experienced glimmers of hope that the building could be restored to its former glory, but inevitably people decided the building would be biting off more than they could chew. Rystadt uses multiple aphorisms to explain his approach to life, and while he was in the basement pointing out the original supporting pillars he managed to restore—made from old-growth wood— he says, “It’s like the old saying, ‘You know the difference between dedication and commitment? A cow giving milk is dedicated, a pig giving bacon is commitment. I’m committed.”

Kolva could tell Rystadt was different from that first walk-through. He had a gut feeling that the hotel’s time had come, a shining new chapter in its 109-year history.

“He just seemed to have the capability and the mental toughness to get it done,” Kolva says. “I don't think I ever really doubted that he would.”

SEPTEMBER 2020 / BOZZIMEDIA.com

41

When Rystadt rested his head on the pillow on opening day, July 28, there were only two other reservations in the hotel, but he felt proud of a job well done.

The guest rooms are wallpapered with larger-than-life reprints of historical photos from all over Spokane. The rooms also have moving murals: the sound-proofed windows frame the trains passing by, a fitting nod to the hotel’s original purpose as a singleroom occupancy hotel for railroad workers.

The solid wood headboards are slatted to resemble railroad ties, and a diagram of a viewfinder—the latest technology at Expo ’74—hangs proudly on the wall.

In every decision, Rystadt tried to honor the history of the building, preserving as much as he could. He points out a wooden window frame in a guest room that he could have sanded to make it appear new, “but then you wouldn't know if it was new or old.

It's historic, and we left it that way.”

But the hotel had to have modern

42

BOZZIMEDIA.com / SEPTEMBER 2020

amenities, and “we put quality in because this was built with quality,” Rystadt says. “I want to respect that.”

For Rystadt, quality meant solid wood furniture, an air conditioning system that whispers, mud-set shower tiles, and a vanity he hopped onto to demonstrate its strength.

Hotel Indigo wasn’t just three years in the making, but the culmination of the example his father set for him, the passion of his U.S. History professor at Portland State University, and the desire to model for his children determination translating to success.

Hotel Indigo’s story starts in 1911 as Hotel Willard, but Rystadt’s journey begins on a 40-acre cow-and-sheep farm in northwest Portland. His father told him from a young age that he would not have an allowance.

“I bought my own bike,” Rystadt says. “It took me two years, and I earned $60 and I can't tell you how proud one feels when

SEPTEMBER 2020 / BOZZIMEDIA.com

43

you put that effort in.”

The work ethic his father instilled carried over for Rystadt when he faced challenges, and there were plenty with the hotel. In late 2018, Rystadt was dealing with steep fines for asbestos violations, and he doesn’t deny that he called an inspector with the state Department of Ecology a bonehead at one point.

“I had to deal with three different

agencies that each had their own agenda, and they didn't recognize it,” Rystadt said. “If I actually listened to all three of them, I couldn’t do anything. That reckoning took time and frustration, but I learned from it. I could have easily said, ‘You know what? I can’t do it.’”

But Rystadt wasn’t raised that way, nor was that the example he wanted to set for his children, who are ages 17, 15, and 11.

“Am I supposed to read my kids The Little Engine That Could and say, ‘You can, you can, you can,’ and then when they see their dad face adversity, does their dad just pack up his bags and quit?”

44

BOZZIMEDIA.com / SEPTEMBER 2020

Rystadt asks. “I think the greatest benefit that will happen from this is actually the example I showed my children to overcome problems.”

Another driving force of this project was that Rystadt wanted to bring history to life, and that passion comes from a U.S. History class he took at Portland State University, taught by Professor Barney Burke.

“He would read letters from different senators and politicians during a time they would write each other letters,” Rystadt says.

“You could see the perspective and how they tried to influence each other in what they thought was the best idea.”

That class was when history came alive for Rystadt, and it was important to him to honor the history of the hotel specifically. Each floor is dedicated to a different iteration of the hotel, which was originally called The Willard, became The Atlantic in 1921, The Milner in 1941, The Earle in 1948, and finally The Otis in 1956. The wall guests see when the elevator doors open on each floor have a mural that looks like a brick facade, with lettering from that time period advertising the hotel, reminiscent of the “ghost signs” sprinkled throughout Spokane.

Though Rystadt cares about historical accuracy, he jokes that he can’t honor the $3.21/night rate promoted by The Earle.

Daniel Lopez, a muralist whose work is ubiquitous in Spokane, also contributed to the aesthetics of the hotel, but instead of using his trademark spray paint medium, he took on the task of hand-painting the murals, something he plans to do much more often in the future.

“I have a huge, newfound respect for artists who paint murals with brushes, because I've always used spray paint, and it's like the palette is in the can,” Lopez says. “With spray paint I'm able to cover so much in a short time, but these ones I've had to really take a lot of time being careful with everything. It's been a learning experience for me, but I loved every second.”

Calling upon the hotel’s heyday in the Roaring Twenties, Rystadt commissioned Lopez to paint a game of cards, a man gazing at a flapper, and a scene in a speakeasy.

“I actually love that mobster era of danger,” Lopez says. “It's very intriguing, there’s something cool about it. I was trying to bring back the spirit of that era with my murals, but also giving them a fresh, crisp look.”

Lopez says when Rystadt initially approached him, he didn’t know much about the hotel’s history.

“It's been dawning on me a little bit more,” Lopez says. “I'm like, ‘Okay, this is super awesome right here. This is really something unique.’”

Diners can view Lopez’s murals in Magnolia American Brasserie, the hotel’s 3,600 square foot American style restaurant with a French flair. The chef is Steve Jensen, who was previously at Osprey Restaurant and Bar. “If we had a small restaurant, a real tight space like that, maybe we wouldn't have opened,” Rystadt says. “But since we can accommodate social distancing, I think it was smart for us, and I think it's just a matter of people knowing that.”

Instead of quickly walking past an eyesore, Kolva has dined at Magnolia on multiple occasions. For him, Hotel Indigo “adds to the historic knowledge and experience of Spokane.”

“It's a key building in the rehabilitation of West First Avenue in downtown Spokane,” Kolva says. “I think it'll make it easier for some of the other buildings that need to be fixed up. It gives a great example of taking something from almost collapse and turning it into a gem.”

hether or not you feel steady on your own two feet, you most likely know a friend, neighbor or loved one who isn’t quite as solid on their own. As we age or face changes in our health or medicines, falls become the number one cause of serious, sometimes irrecoverable, injuries.

“As we age, we are continuously challenged to defy gravity,” says Dorothy Baker, PhD, director of the Connecticut Collaboration for Fall Prevention (CCFP) at Yale University School of Medicine. “What makes us vulnerable to gravity is the fact that certain systems of our bodies are not working at peak performance. Many people have been weakened by unhealthy lifestyles, chronic disease, illness, and injury. We have to de-emphasize the environment as the reason why we fall and instead focus on how we can better interact with the environment in order to stay on our feet.”

THERE ARE SIX FACTORS THAT RELATE TO FALLS:

1.

2.

3.

4.

Balance Problems. The best thing you can do to reduce the risk of falls is some form of regular exercise.

Mobility Issues. Use mobility devices that have been fitted for you by a certified therapist.

Medication Errors. Taking four or more medications places you at high risk.

Low Blood Pressure. Getting up too quickly can cause your blood pressure to drop making you feel lightheaded or unsteady.

University Chiropractic Serving Spokane Valley Since 1977

5.

Sensory Deficits. Eyesight and reflexes often diminish as we age.

Schedule regular appointments with your medical providers to establish a solid base line.

6.

Home Hazards. Environmental factors such as uneven surfaces, area rugs, extension cords, and the bathroom can present a hazard.

A fall is a time sensitive event. Getting help in under 20 minutes provides for the best outcomes. A Lifestage Medical Alert provides two-way communication with a respond associate to procure the appropriate assistance. Today’s Medical Alerts systems are shower safe, are GPS mobile, and offer falls detection in the event a person falls and they are unable to call for help.

Northwest Medical Rehabilitation

Innovative Therapies to Help Patients Restore Physical Function and Independence

by Darin Burt

During her residency, Dr. Karen Stanek worked in a care facility for the severely

disabled. It was not uncommon for patients suffering traumatic brain injury, back and neck injuries, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injuries to have their limbs twisted and clenched to the point of being nonfunctional. At the time, oral medications were the most common treatment, and while they relieved the severe muscle tension, they also caused sedation and weakness.

As Dr. Stanek explains, spasticity occurs when there is a breakdown in communication between the brain and the muscles, and muscles contract painfully as a result of spasm and may remain that way. A person’s hand may be clenched shut in a tight fist and the person is unable to open their hand or their fingers. In another instance, the elbow may be bent, and the person is unable to straighten it.

58

BOZZIMEDIA.com / SEPTEMBER 2020

According to the Stroke Foundation, around 30 percent of stroke survivors will experience some form of muscle spasticity. Left untreated, joints and muscles can become so stiff that it is impossible to move them. Often, family doctors will tell patients that spastic muscles are just part of their stroke, and there's nothing that can be done. Dr. Stanek says, “that’s not the case.”

At Northwest Medical Rehabilitation, which Dr. Stanek founded in 1996, she injects neurotoxin (Botox, Dysport or Xeomin) directly into the spastic muscles. This blocks the muscle’s ability to contract and spasm which allows the muscle to be stretched with less pain. These muscle-relaxing effects usually last for about three months, during which time, Dr. Stanek and her staff will engage the patient in physiotherapy or occupational therapy.

“Think of it as how your car needs gas and oil,” Dr. Stanek explains. “The neurotoxin is the gas and therapy is the oil, and you need both to make forward progress.”

As a physiatrist—a medical doctor that specializes in physical medicine, pain management and rehabilitation, Dr. Stanek’s goal is to help patients regain their strength and independence, and restore as much function as possible. This begins with taking the time to listen to and thoroughly examine patients before establishing a treatment plan.

Along with trigger point injections for treating spasticity and pain, Northwest Medical Rehabilitation provides rehabilitation management for patients requiring intrathecal pumps. These are small medical devices that deliver pain medications or baclofen directly next to the spinal cord to control spasticity and pain in stroke victims, traumatic brain injury

(TBI), back injuries, spinal cord injuries, cerebral palsy, and other musculoskeletal manifestations.

Dr. Stanek also functions as the medical director for Spokane Hyperbaric Center. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy uses high dose oxygen to speed and enhance the body’s natural ability to heal. This unique treatment is approved by the American Medical Association, FDA, and Medicare, and has been employed for decades to treat a variety of conditions, including osteoradionecrosis, some diabetic wounds and certain crush injuries.

Because HBOT addresses wound care at the cellular level—from the inside out—it can effectively treat a wide range of injuries and health conditions such as diabetic ulcers of the lower legs, ankles and feet, autism, post-radiation tissue injury, traumatic crush injuries and stubborn wounds in which tissues are starved for oxygen. In most patients, the therapy will help to reduce swelling, fight infection and build new blood vessels, ultimately producing healthy tissue for faster healing.

“At Northwest Medical Rehabilitation, we take a handson approach to healing,” Dr. Stanek says. “We offer state-ofthe-art treatments in a venue of compassion and understanding.

Our focus is on treating the person, not only the disease. Therefore, we adopt a more comprehensive approach that assesses the physical, mental and emotional well-being of our patients to help restore optimal function and quality of life.”

ndreamay Pratt’s seven-year-old son, Jeremiah, is a typical kid with fine-tuned interests and areas of strength. He loves boxers like Rocky Balboa and Muhammad Ali, but when Pratt showed him more recent Sylvester Stallone movies, he refused to believe it was the same actor.

“He called me a liar,” Pratt said, laughing. “‘That's not him,’ and I'm like, ‘Dude, he just got old.’”

Jeremiah is a math whiz. When school went online in March, Pratt tried to help him, and he told her she was doing it incorrectly. Since Pratt was taught differently, she didn’t fight him on that one.

Jeremiah wasn’t always the sweet, quippy boy he is today. In preschool, he was nonverbal and wasn’t playing with other kids. Pratt’s family had an “older generation” mentality, and told her “boys will be boys” and that Jeremiah would speak when he was ready. But his teacher, who was attending school to become an ADA therapist, saw the signs and suggested an evaluation.

Jeremiah got lucky, Pratt said. He is autistic, and has received Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) since he was three. During school, he has an aide, but he’s in the general education classroom with his peers 85 percent of the day. Line of sight—meaning a teacher or aide can’t let him out of their sight—is another component of his plan.

According to a 2012 study in The American Academy of Pediatrics, 49 percent of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder attempt to elope past the age of 4, and Jeremiah is one of those kids. Of those who wandered,

66

BOZZIMEDIA.com / SEPTEMBER 2020

24 percent were in danger of drowning and 65 percent were in danger of traffic injury.

Jeremiah’s school is in the East Valley School District, and though he had a wonderful experience in kindergarten, when he started first grade, his teacher hadn’t reviewed his IEP until two weeks into the school year. Part of the line-ofsight requirement required his teacher to walk Jeremiah to the pick-up point at the end of the school day, but she wasn’t honoring this component of the plan.

This situation came to a boiling point, and Pratt had to temporarily pull him out of school and enter into mediation. Pratt said part of the IEP process is constantly advocating for your child.

“I'm glad first grade got cut short,” Pratt said. “[The teacher] had the excuse, even when we were in mediation and throughout the entire school year, that she is a general education teacher, not a special education teacher, and she has no clue what she's doing, nor did she even care to try.”

Integration of special education students into the general education classroom whenever possible is a directive, but as in Jeremiah’s case, a breakdown in communication can put children at risk.

Leslie Blevins, psychologist and Enilda Clinic owner, commonly evaluates patients between the ages 2 and 22, many who seem to be in a gray

area. She works to give her clients more nuanced diagnoses than what appears on school evaluations.

The parents “see that there's something not quite right,” Blevins said. “They see their child struggling at home to get through homework, and so there's this sense of, ‘Is it all in my head?’”

Blevins encourages parents not to wait to see if their child will “grow out of it.”

“Go ahead and address it, because if it's nothing, it'll still be nothing after you check it out,” Blevins said. “But if it's something, almost every single disorder I know of in childhood is easier treated early on, rather than later.”

If your child seems to be struggling unnecessarily, you can request the school to screen them for learning disabilities. The IEP process starts with sending in a “Child Find” request on your school district website. The request will go to your child’s school psychologist, which will trigger a “determine to evaluate meeting” between parents, teachers, administrators, and school counselors, where the student’s records will be examined to determine how they’re performing in relation to their peers.

The school will also determine whether other assistance could be helpful before proceeding with an evaluation.

“That's really important when you're looking for a learning disability because they might not have a disability, they just might have some gaps in learning that could be remediated with more intensive instruction,” Becky Ramsey, Spokane Public Schools special education director, said.

Evaluations can still be conducted

in n io t a c u d e l ia c e p S > > s r e b m u n e h t Spokane, by safely at this time, though some aspects will be done virtually.

COVID-19 further complicates the process, however.

“There's some things you have to rule out; one is lack of access to education,” Ramsey said. “All students had a lack of education from March until now, so the student’s records would have to show prior to March that there were concerns.”

The evaluation has to show that the student has a learning disability, but in order to qualify for an IEP, it also has to show that the disability has adversely impacted the student’s academics.

IEPs are not to be confused with 504s. If a student has an IEP, this means they are receiving different coursework than their peers. On the other hand, an example of a 504 accommodation could be something as simple as extra time on tests, or going to a quiet space—like the library—to complete schoolwork. 504 accommodations can also be rooted in medical issues, such as a student with diabetes checking their blood sugar.

Ramsey said the majority of students with IEPs are in general education classrooms, but for some, a special education classroom is the best option. Stacey Higgins, a special education teacher with Madison Elementary, works in a self-contained classroom with 12 “little lovebugs”—ranging from kindergarten through third grade—and two teacher assistants.

“We do a lot of singing for our little lovebugs who are the nonverbal kiddos because it's been proven that kids gain language at a faster rate by singing, where the pressure is taken off of them,”

68

BOZZIMEDIA.com / SEPTEMBER 2020

“We need to give all of our parents some grace,” Higgins said. “They find out that their hopes and their dreams for their child have changed when they're given a diagnosis.

I feel for my parents when I get my little love bugs and the parents haven't been really formally told that this is going to be a challenge for you and your child, but I'm here to help you.”

Higgins said.

Higgins said that each child is treated as an individual, with individual goals. An example of an IEP goal might be acquiring 25 sight words. Higgins emphasized that early intervention is key to success, as well as supporting parents.

Special education is personal for Higgins. She grew up with a younger sister with special needs and watched her parents try to navigate a system with far fewer resources. Higgins’ sister, who is now 56, lives with Higgins’ mom, who is 90.

“I think my sissy has actually provided the life that my mom needed to be able to stay around here. If it wasn't for my sister, I don't know that my mom would have fought as hard as she has,” Higgins said. “It's just wonderful to see the two of them together. I think they're each other's strengths.”

Still, Higgins wonders what life would be like for her sister if there were more resources in her childhood.

“As we get better, the gap from what my sister had to where we are now just gets wider,” Higgins said. “I think that's called progress.”

“I get tremendous satisfaction from taking a case that seems impossible— or has been mishandled, and turning it around. That’s when I am at my best,” says Brewer, who opened her Spokane law firm in 1998 after earning her Juris Doctor from Gonzaga University School of Law in 1992 where she was also the founding member of the Gonzaga Public Interest Law Project and vice president of the Gonzaga Women's Law Association.

Brewer is proud to have been named Family Law Attorney of the Year by the Spokane County Bar Association and Washington State Bar. She has authored a number of publications including Immigrant Victims of Domestic Violence Handbook and Military Family Law in Washington State. Most recently, she has been contracted by the state bar association to author the Military Family Law Deskbook.

In addition to family law, Brewer has developed a focus on matters of vital importance to military families, including long distance parenting, military and FERS pension, TSP Retirement division, the SBP, and base privileges. She also serves as a pro bono attorney for military families throughout Washington. As her own husband is a member of the ARMY, serving at Fairchild, Brewer has first-hand experience navigating the red tape and confusing paperwork for active and retired personnel, spouses and family.

“I love giving a voice to those who cannot speak,” says Brewer, who brings 25 years of courtroom experience to her cases. “I select my clients carefully and spend the time to know them and develop a custom strategy for their needs.”

home can be, quite simply, a place to live. For Suzan Entwistle Marshall and her two children, Liam and Elle, it’s much, much more. Their 25acre property in the Hangman Valley, a “working farm” positioned on a serene plot of land, has been both their refuge and a place to rebuild following the tragic death of their husband and father, John Marshall, in 2016.

Suzan first discovered the place when the family was living on the South Hill. She was in the area riding one of her horses—she breeds prize-winning Cleveland Bays—and loved it immediately. “We came out of the woods and there it was, my dream house…I told John about it later that day, that it felt like I was in a fairy tale.”

When the home later came up for sale, she mentioned it John, excited by the news but also certain it

Expert Tips for Upgrading Yo u r K i t c h e n and Baths

Y H T R O W E M O H T STAY-A S N O I T A V RENO 122

BOZZIMEDIA.com / SEPTEMBER 2020

by Darin Burt

Staying home is the new norm. And the rooms in which you likely spend the most time in are the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen is not only where you cook meals and enjoy dinner with the family, it’s also becoming a convenient telecommuting and virtual classroom space. In addition to being the place where you wash your hands (again and again), the bathroom is your personal oasis—a welcomed retreat from a stressful world.

If you’re going to be in the house, now’s the time to (as the old saying goes) to make your house a home. We spoke with a few of the area’s leading kitchen and bath specialists to hear their expert tips for adding comfort, convenience and function to your most used spaces.

Pre-Finished Steel Carriage House Doors

See the Light Since no single fixture will provide all the light necessary for kitchen lighting tasks, try adding layers, advises Sara Berry, owner of Berry Built and Design. The idea is to use a main overhead light with layers of smaller lights placed to highlight various tasks, such as near a food prep area, over the stove and above the kitchen sink. Also, adding a dimmer will allow you to completely transform the ambiance of the space.

In the bath, the vanity light isn’t always enough to light the entire room, so Berry Built will often add a few 4-inch recessed ceiling fixtures in her designs. One important thing to remember—the closer your lights mimic the lights you'll be seen in when you leave your home, the more your makeup will look like it did in the mirror.

If you're most often in an office setting or Zooming from home, you might choose cooler lights (around 3500K or 4100K). If you're outdoors, the sun during the day is considered to have a cool color temperature (6500K), which appears almost cold/blue in indoor lighting.

Counter Intuitive If your eyes are strained from looking at your brightly colored kitchen countertops—think red, baby blue, turquoise and bright green, which have been trendy, Sierra Campos, general manager of Gargoyle Granite and Marble, says consider changing to soothing colors found in nature. Materials such as granite and quartz are available in naturally occurring colors. Where grey and white were once the go-to, Campos sees browns and blacks becoming more popular.

“It’s really a personal preference kind of like jewelry,” Campos says. “People really like to get invested in it and make sure that they're picking something they are passionate about and want to look at every day.”

Makeovers Made Easy If your budget is tight, and your goal is simply to update the look of your bathroom, there’s no reason for a full remodel. Some elements, like the vanity and sink, might already do the job.

On a recent project, Kevin Meyers, of Myers & Myers Construction, helped a homeowner achieve stunning results with a simple facelift—resurfacing the countertop, adding counter to ceiling tile, and hanging a stylish picture frame mirror for a polished appearance.

“You can do something similar to your kitchen and put in nicer cabinets and then do a less expensive countertop,” Meyers says. “Formica laminate is one option that mimics the look and feel of real stone until you have the time and money to replace it with higher quality material.”

Making Your House a Home “How long will you be in your home?” used to be a common question when deciding on the level of upgrades for kitchens and baths. The truth is we don’t know how long social distancing will require us to stay home. It could be a month or (hopefully not) years before life is back to normal. The focus has become more on staying as healthy as possible, and especially for seniors, being able to “age in place,” has become not so much an option as a priority.

Function and accessibility are 124

BOZZIMEDIA.com / SEPTEMBER 2020

THE FOCUS IS ON YOU paramount factors in home upgrades that also boost safety, security, and comfort. In the bathroom, one option is to replace the bathtub with a walk-in shower, which provides much easier entry and exit. Grab bars can give support to those with balance issues—but you’re not stuck with an “institutional” design.

Modern grab bars can double as safe, yet stylish, towel racks, toilet paper holders and even night lights. In the kitchen, features such as Lazy Susans and pullout cabinets allow for more storage and easier access to the things inside of them, eliminating reaching, pulling and possible falls. Simplify the use of their faucet by installing a touch-style version eliminates the need to rely on knobs or handles.

“It’s amazing what you can do to make improvements within the same footprint,” Berry says. “Being able to incorporate multi-functional elements into a space creates a really successful design.”

ummer is coming to an end, which means the small farms around us are bountiful with fresh fruits and vegetables—but what do you make with all those gorgeous fruits? One of the easiest and most delicious ways to show off summer flavors is to make a galette, a French dessert that is a flat round or freeform tart or pie. I make mine with a hybrid crust that’s part pie crust, part puff pastry so it’s the flakiest crust you’ll ever make—and easier than it sounds. You can fill your galette with whatever your heart desires, but are there any other fruits that scream summer quite like peaches and raspberries? The two fruits together are pure magic, and this galette will make your family hang on to summer as long as possible.

STEP ONE: Add the butter into the flour mixture using your

You can use a food processor or a pastry cutter, but I like to use my hands so it isn’t uniformed (if you feel like the mixture gets too warm put it back into the freezer for 10 more minutes).

STEP TWO: With one hand, mix the flour mixture while slowly adding water and lemon mixture until it comes together.

Lemon juice inhibits gluten production and gluten in a crust will make your crust gummy.

STEP THREE: Plop the dough out onto the counter and

lightly knead until the flour is incorporated. With a rolling pin, roll the dough out into an oval about ¼ of an inch thick and fold the dough into thirds (making three layers), then turn the dough so the sides you see are at the opposite of where they were, and repeat.

take the dough and roll it out evenly so the dough covers the bottom of the cookie sheet. Then place the dough onto the sheet.

Pour fruit mixture into the middle and spread out evenly, leaving about 3-4 inches of space to the edge. Place the raspberries evenly over the peaches.

Fold the remaining dough over the filling, keeping in mind it is okay to not be perfect. Make sure the filling will stay inside the pastry, and that the center isn’t covered.

Place the galette into a 350 degree preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the center is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Let cool completely. Serve alone or with ice cream or whipped cream.

Enjoy.

Amore é Incanto

Tavola Calda

by Jamie Aquino

Once you round the corner on Dartford Drive, your eyes will be drawn to the park-like setting.

A manicured lawn sits underneath old growth pine, the wooded hillside providing the perfect backdrop to the pond and fountain, and above diners’ heads, a canopy of a thousand lights. This is Commellini Estate. The moment you step out of your vehicle, you will be transported to another era, one you can feel, hear, smell, and will soon taste. Tavola Calda translates to “hot table” in English, but the words “amore é incanto,” love and enchantment, more aptly describe the setting.

As you walk toward the restaurant, listen for Sinatra serenading you through the speakers under

Menu items are served fast casual style, with disposable containers and silverware. Lauri, Robert, and Desiree Seghetti had a vision when they planned their restaurant, combining informal dining with Old World hospitality and food.

Never could they have foreseen how vital that concept would be during the timing and opening of their restaurant, less than two months ago.

Take your pick of traditional Italian dishes—because you can’t go wrong. Lauri and her team have preserved the integrity of the Seghetti family recipes while modernizing them for current palates. I recommend the Eggplant Parmesan. I have never endorsed that particular dish for any Italian restaurant I’ve dined in over the last two decades due to the necessity of perfect execution of all components before the dish is assembled and served.

Tavola Calda’s eggplant is perfectly sliced, has an al dente texture, is precisely seasoned, and is coated in a perfectly achieved crisp breading without being greasy.

The golden slices are layered with parmesan cheese and nestled in a sauce that can only be described as made with love. Named after Lauri Seghetti’s mother-in-law, Gina’s Marinara is made Old World Style, a three-day labor of love, thoughtfully seasoned with dashes and pinches until it can be tasted in every bite.

Tavola Calda is only one of many facets this almost 80 year old estate offers. Its 200 acres boasts six venue sites, providing timeless settings for weddings and special events. Lauri is hands-on, from coordinating behind the scenes, to setting up

chairs and mowing the lawn, to bride and groom consultations, menus, music, and more—her touch can be seen in everything.

You may have passed Commellini’s booth at the farmers markets over the last few years, as they offer complete dinner takeaways from Liberty Lake, Fairwood, and Kendall Yards markets. Someday soon, they hope to resume their cooking classes, featuring hands-on instruction for Italian staples like gnocchi, orrechiette, and focaccia.

Shop their online mercato—“market”—to purchase their sauces, tiramisu, Chicken Cacciatore, meatballs, lasagna, wine, and more. You can even purchase “takeaway” cooking classes, complete with meal kits, step-by-step instructions, custom aprons, and a bottle of wine. In the summer and fall, find them hosting pop-up dinners on the farm at Big Barn Brewing in Green Bluff.

I started my interview with Lauri with the intention of asking pointed restaurant and food-related questions, but her gracious and welcoming presence, coupled with the deep love and passion she has for her food left me speechless. The Seghettis are intentional in every aspect of the restaurant, not strictly the food. From growing and mentoring their staff to building relationships with each and every one of their customers, they are preserving much more than the heritage recipes that have been handed down for generations. From a young age, Lauri recognized that marrying into the Seghetti family meant she was about to walk into a legacy. Someday she hopes to leave her own: loving people through food.

If you want to experience love transformed into food, visit Tavola Calda for an unforgettable evening.

Whiskey Women Wednesdays

with Sailor Guevara

by Lily Seitz photos by Jazmine Hunt

Sailor Guevara is bringing Spokane women together for good whiskey and with good reason. In January, the whiskey educator and tasting specialist started Whiskey Women Wednesdays: a meeting held at local, rotating, women-run bars with the goal of creating spaces for women to appreciate and learn about whiskey.

Attendees taste several whiskeys from a different category each time, learn about their history, and train their palates to pick out the complex flavors. It offers women a community where they can openly discuss their opinions about a spirit whose industry has historically excluded them.

The stay-at-home order pushed Whiskey Women Wednesdays into its current online space, making it even more private and accessible.

With the help of Spokane bartenders, Stephanie Goldsmith and Jordi Brooks, Sailor assembles affordable tasting packages and delivers them to attendees who pay ahead.

During the first weeks of lockdown, the Zoom meetings offered women some much-needed connection and fun to look forward to.

They often stayed on after the tasting, finishing their drinks and talking about their experience during the pandemic. “Sometimes, it was hard to show up,” Sailor says. “But you get through 15 minutes of it, and 138

BOZZIMEDIA.com / SEPTEMBER 2020

you’re not thinking about all those worries anymore. I’m so grateful for that.”

Sailor has been on a mission to smash the barriers between women and whiskey for more than 20 years. As a young bartender, she learned how unfairly and often abusively women are treated in her line of work. Beyond the harassment and safety issues though, Sailor says, “My knowledge wasn’t worth what a man’s was.”

A passionate storyteller, she created memorable experiences for customers by telling them about what’s in their glass.

Looking to broaden her horizons, Sailor saw a way to turn her expertise into a career as a whiskey educator, but she found gender inequality and sexism in the spirits industry as well.

At that time, women also weren’t represented at all in whiskey’s leadership, production, or marketing, aside from halfhearted attempts to add a girly label and some sugar. Sailor knew that plenty of women drank whiskey and that their voices belonged in the industry. The problem was they weren’t seeing themselves in it.

To empower more women to enjoy whiskey, Sailor needed a captive audience. She found one at a woman-owned whiskey distillery in Ohio, where she worked in production and opened a tasting room. Men would show up with their wives who didn’t like whiskey, and Sailor would always ask them why.

Their reasons ranged from the ingrained belief that whiskey was a man’s drink to their preference for vodka or gin cocktails.

She started trying to win them over by mixing up whiskey cocktails that reminded them of the drinks they liked, converting one after another into whiskey women as she shared her love for the spirit.

Besides male-centric, the whiskey industry is also overwhelmingly white. So, when Sailor discovered an independent whiskey brand owned by an African American woman, she jumped at the opportunity to work for her. A few years ago, Sailor read an article about how the world’s bestselling spirit, Jack Daniels, had originally been crafted by a Black man. As the Jack Daniels tale went, Jack started the company after working in a preacher’s distillery.

What they left out, though, was that the preacher had an enslaved man named Nearest Green teach Jack everything he knew about distilling. When Sailor learned that the author, Fawn Weaver, had begun producing whiskey blended by Nearest’s great-great-granddaughter, she found Fawn on Facebook and said, “You have to hire me!” That’s when she became Uncle Nearest’s Pacific Northwest brand ambassador.

Sailor is honored to work with a diverse group of women, people of color, and the LGBTQ community, but there is still much work to be done. “We desperately need the whiskey community to look like the world looks,” she says. Ever since George Floyd’s murder, her mission as an educator is just as much about whiskey as it is about racial justice.

She uses her platform to educate the many white people in her whiskey community and the broader industry about racism and inequality. “If you can see it, you can change it,” she says, urging them to engage and push back in their own communities.

Looking away, deleting, or blocking people only broadens the divide. “White people created this system of injustice, so it is up to white people to dismantle it.”

CLARKSVILLE/priceless

clarksville

by Doug Clark

Doug Clark is a Spokane native and lead singer/ songwriter for his band, Trailer Park Girls. He recently retired from The Spokesman-Review after writing three columns a week for more than 30 years.

I was a skeptic long before I ever stumbled into

the muckraking trades.

Cosmic forces? Psychic hocus pocus? Healing crystals? Naw, I never bought into any of that Ouija Board weirdness.

Then again. Once in awhile the stars do seem to align. Just enough, at least, to make even a diehard believe that some things truly are meant to be.

“That’s quite a story,” said Donna Conklin.

“Definitely fate, I would say.”

Donna is the daughter of…

Oops. I’m getting ahead of myself.

Our tale actually begins several days earlier when my longtime friends, Joanne Shiosaki and her daughter, Sydney, embarked on a thrift shop safari.

They were on a quest for vintage dress patterns that Sydney could repurpose. That’s become a sort of thing these days, I’m told.

Their travels eventually led them into a cramped East Sprague store where Joanne soon spied a jumble of framed artwork piled on the floor.

Joanne’s husband, Charlie Schmidt, is a wellknown Spokane artist. She knows he’s always needing frames to reuse for his own inspirations.

She dug through the pile, eventually selecting a tan frame that corralled a watercolor done in pleasing pastels. The musical subject matter caught Joanne’s eye. There was something very familiar about the trio performing in front of a small red tip bucket.

“Hey, that looks like Doug,” exclaimed Joanne, noting the ball cap-wearing guitarist on the right.

Sydney wandered over from her investigation of a selection of laughably large men’s trousers.

“That’s cuz it is Doug,” she told her mom, pointing out the faint letters on the red T-shirt that was worn by the middle figure, a percussionist perched on a wooden box known as a cajone.

“TPG,” she added, “Trailer Park Girls.”

Most of the planet’s population would fail to make this obscure connection. The Schmidts, however, are intimately aquainted with the band I formed in 1999 to perform my original satirical rock music.

(Confession Time: All I ever wanted to be when I grew up was a singer/songwriter, but that’s a yarn for another time.)

Charlie, after all, is not only an original band member, but the designer of our groovy trailer logo and creator of the art on all of our CD covers.

The final proof, however, was found on the watercolor’s flipside. A card bearing the letterhead of

Clark’s humor and general-interest commentaries have won scores of local, state and regional honors along with three awards from the National Society of Newspaper Columnists.

He can be reached at dougclarksville@gmail.com.

the River Ridge Association of Fine Arts read…

Title: “Trailer Park Girls.”

Medium: “Watercolor.”

Artist: “Barbara Hoisington.”

Price: “$85.00.”

Let’s get real. Palsy-walsy relationships notwithstanding, Joanne wasn’t about to drop 85 bucks on a painting of yours truly any more than I’ll be hosting next season’s installment of The Masked Singer.

Fortunately, this potentially awkward situation was avoided thanks to a small green sticker affixed to the front glass. A significant reconsideration of value had occurred during the watercolor’s journey from River Ridge to used goods emporium.

The price had plummeted to… $4.89.

“That’s humbling,” I told Joanne when she gifted the art to me a day or two later.

Hmm. Interesting price point, $4.89.

I keep imagining a couple of fleamarket tycoons wrangling like buzzards over roadkill.

PICKER ONE – “Five bucks too much?”

PICKER TWO (holding it up to the light) – “Seems a tad rich to me.”

PICKER ONE – “We can always go the ol’ $4.99 route.”

PICKER TWO – “True. But why fall prey to clichés? PICKER ONE – $4.89?”

PICKER TWO – “That passes the sniff test!”

The value of art is subjective, of course.

No disrespect to Moanin’ Lisa and all those other ballyhooed wall hangers, but this watercolor is priceless to me.

The idea that someone I never met would invest her time and talent into creating such a lasting tribute to my lowly band is, well, beyond flattering.

After showering the Schmidts with love and appreciation, I left their home focused on questions: Who is this Barbara Hoisington? And why Trailer Park Girls?

I don’t like to brag, but as a career journalist I am highly trained in following even the slimmest of clues.

So, I called the artist’s phone number that

was on the back along with all the other info.

“Your call has been forwarded to an automated voice messaging system,” a robot informed me a split-second before the voice of a nice-sounding real lady said: “Mrs. Barbara Hoisington.”

Then back to robot voice who added that Barbara was “not available,” and that her mailbox was full and “unable to receive any more messages.”

A minor setback. Undaunted, I reached into my bag of investigative reporter tricks and Googled her name.

And hit a depressing snag.

Barbara’s lovely smiling face appeared on a photograph that, alas, was attached to her obituary. The Liberty Lake resident passed away barely a year ago, on July 7, at age 93.

I felt so sad knowing I’d missed out forever on meeting the artist. The spark of humor in her eyes made me think we would’ve enjoyed each other’s company.

“Mom had been in love with painting as long as I remember and studied art and design in college,” said Donna Conklin, one of Barbara’s three children.

Remember the aforementioned Donna?

I connected with her via Facebook, messaging family members who were listed in the obituary.

Donna was incredibly helpful. She told me how her mom filled her home with sketches and paintings, how she sold her artwork at shows and craft fairs and sometimes through what she called “her gallery,” Spokane’s River Ridge Association of Fine Arts.

Donna continued, “She was also one of the healthiest Norwegians you would ever meet. She ate healthy, took exercise classes and Pilates and swam in the pool at her Liberty Lake condo.

“She was very proud that she was never on any medication all the way through to 93.”

When it comes to leaving the world, I’ve always liked the Kenny Rogers plan as he sung in The Gambler. You know, “And the best that you can hope for is to die in your

sleep.”

But Donna is right. Her mother’s passing was enviable also.

Barbara died suddenly while preparing to take one of her foster cats to the groomer.

“I believe her heart just stopped,” said Donna. “As sad as it is, she led a great and very healthy life and I think that’s the way I want to go out.”

A lot of what Donna told me hit a raw nerve. I lost my own sweet mom in 2014.

She was 92.

I know all too well about that concept known as aftermath. We buried my mom in a nearby cemetery. Barbara’s loved ones scattered her ashes at Lake Quinalt, Wash., where she grew up.

Like Barbara’s family, we spent days going through the many belongings my mother had stored over her long life.

Deciding what to keep. Estate sales.

Resellers…

Same for Barbara’s kin. Which, in all probability, is how Trailer Park Girls the watercolor wound up where it did.

Barbara was a fan of my newspaper column, Donna said, as well as my band.

Son Dave took his music-loving mom to see us and other acts at Pigout in the Park.

She also watched us perform at Street Music Week, the annual fundraiser that has raised $265,000 for 2nd Harvest food bank since I started it in 2002.

I know this because of the watercolor.

Barbara perfectly captured Trailer Park Girls in our street music positions, instrumentation and performance location outside the downtown Starbucks at Main and Post.

Well, perhaps “perfectly” is too strong a word.

While Barbara’s likeness of me is quite recognizable, the faces of the cajonebeating Daniel Cox, and lead guitarist Joe Brasch look like no one I’ve ever played with.

Brasch laughed. “She nailed you. The rest of us were just stand-ins.”

Like I said. Priceless.
