What better way to signify spring in full bloom than a fuzzy bee in a beautiful blossom? Our gorgeous cover was the work of Kathy Eisenbarth. Photography started as a passion but grew into a business with a focus in real estate. The bee was captured on her Canon G9 while it was taking a snooze in her front yard.

EDITOR LETTER Dear readers, This issue features the Top Doctors list, and we’re living through a period of time that truly demonstrates the importance of a robust and innovative medical community. For many of us, our interaction with doctors is primarily preventative medicine: having annual health visits, getting your flu shot—maintenance stuff not dissimilar from changing the oil in your car.

As someone who is chronically ill, I don’t think I had a good grasp on what it would be like to be healthy until I asked a friend to pick up one of my prescriptions and he asked me how to do it.

He’d never filled a prescription before. Absolutely inconceivable.

I’m thirty-five this month, and I take eleven pills a day. Granted, only eight of those are for my heart problems, the other three treat depression.

I’m not ashamed to say that, though there was a time I would have been.

I don’t see my depression as anything different from my heart problems, and if your brain needs extra chemicals to help you out, I hope you know that’s perfectly fine.

But I think it goes without saying that sometimes people who are sick have to take medicine that makes them feel much worse than the condition itself, and I’m one of those people. Not too long ago, my combination was putting my systolic blood pressure (the top number) between eighty and ninety (it’s supposed to hover around 120). What that looks like in practicality is complete exhaustion. I’ll tell you, sometimes I’m on combinations of heart medicines that make me so drowsy I feel like I’m walking through a fog.

I’ve had to relearn this countless times, so if you’ve lived a mostly healthy life, I hope you can benefit from my experience. I forget that it’s OK to tell my doctor that our plan isn’t working.

You don’t have to be a cool customer. You don’t need to endure bravely. You are not a bother. A good doctor wants to know if you’re struggling. They want that communication from their patients. When it comes to your health, there isn’t any honor in suffering in silence. In fact, it’s dangerous.

So, I told my team—because yes, when you’re sick enough, you have a “team”—that I wasn’t tolerating the combination of medicine I was on. And so, my health care team tinkers, as they always have. Trying one medicine, cutting back on another, upping a different one. I hear things like, “You’re maxed out on Corlanor, so we’re going to introduce Sotalol…”

And, while we’re on the subject of Corlanor, that was actually a tricky drug. A couple years ago, my health insurance had decided that it was inappropriate to treat my condition. They wouldn’t cover it, despite the fact that my previous health insurance had. My doctor had established through my various tests that this drug was doing more for my condition than anything I was on.

I seriously panicked. We had worked so hard to get me to this point in my medication, and battling an insurance company felt completely overwhelming. But I didn’t have to lift a finger. The folks at the Pulse Institute decided that wasn’t something I needed to stress about. They called my insurance provider over and over—as one of the nurses told me with what I can only describe as the best sass, “They can keep me on hold all day if they want”—and appealed over and over. It took six months to get my insurance to cover this medicine. In the meantime, they squirreled away enough Corlanor samples that I never had to go out of pocket, which would have been debilitatingly expensive. In the end, it was your basic David and Goliath situation, and the big guys got tired of 12

battling my stubborn team.

And I think it goes without saying that they never expected any of this would end up in an editor’s letter in a magazine. They’re the type of folk who do good when no one is looking.

And I just want to tell you one other story about them because I really don’t think our health care system is bragged on enough. Years ago, results had come back from my echocardiogram (which is a heart ultrasound), and they weren’t good. They showed that I had never been worse. My doctor told me we would try to get it under control using medicine (full circle, this was actually when Corlanor was introduced into the equation), but we had to look at the other options in my toolbox. Medicine was at the top, but if we went a little further down, an ICD (which is an implantable defibrillator) was something we might consider. And then, at the bottom of my toolbox, a heart transplant.

I heard the words, my brain took thirty seconds to mull it over, and I burst into tears. Because I didn’t want it in my toolbox at all.

When I calmed down enough to catch my breath, I asked him if he could call my younger brother, T.J., who is also a doctor, and explain to him what was going on with me. So, my doctor got on my cellphone and dialed my brother, and they had a lengthy conversation using the fancy words I don’t understand, and later, when I calmed down more, T.J. explained it to me again (sans fancy words) and communicated my condition to the rest of our family.

These are the type of people we have looking after us right now.

People who will explain things both accurately and gently. Who will listen to you when you say, ‘I’m not tolerating this,’ or believe you when you say something isn’t right. Who will take on terrible insurance companies so you can get your medication, and make you laugh while they’re at it. Doctors who will call your little brother so he can explain everything to you later.

Our health care system is undeniably broken, but our health care providers are working to counter that. And that’s why it’s so crucial to live an area that has a great health care system.

Of course, blanket statements like these are harmful, and our health care system has a long way to go to make sure that every patient—regardless of the color of their skin or the money in their pocket—receives excellent care. This needs to be an active conversation in the health care community.

In a broken system, it is essential to identify who is most hurt and do everything in our power to lift that group. There is a lot of work to be done, and it starts with accountability.

I wish all of you good health, but if a time comes when that’s in jeopardy, I want to assure you that you’re in the right place at the right time. And Dr. H— thank you.

Sincerely,

Like the cicada that makes up its logo,

Emerge will soon rise again

W

feature and photos by Jonathan Glover

hen Jeni Hegsted says she’s ready for what’s next, she has to wonder: what else could go wrong? Because as the executive director of Emerge—an artist cooperative in downtown Coeur d’Alene—a lot has. And it’s entirely and decidedly not her fault.

A little over a year ago in January 2020, she awoke to news that her building she shares with five other businesses was burning. Luckily, her corner of brick and mortar was mostly spared. The fire wall held up its end of the bargain, and the firefighters were able to save much of the artwork and supplies before water and smoke could take their toll.

No matter—she’d move the operation, conventional wisdom goes. Start anew. In March 2020, she began leasing a new space on Second Street neighboring a family Mexican restaurant. Of course, COVID-19—a pandemic now past its first birthday—had other plans.

But now, the new space is finally getting built out to spec after months of permit delays. A new Emerge. Rising literally from the mucky underbrush, much like the cicada that makes up its logo.

“This week, everything gets cleaned,” Jeni says as she walks downstairs to greet the mountain of art supplies, paints, sinks and a large rotating dark room door. “And organized.”

Walking into the building at 119 N. Second Street downtown—what used to be a frame store, judging by the signage that still hangs in the window—is a lot like stepping into a time capsule. You can see the intention, the ideas, the plan. Yet stare long enough, you also see the empty space—the void left behind by our decade’s first “unprecedented event” and the havoc it reeks on our best-laid plans.

Focus only on Jeni’s beaming energy and whatifs and you see only potential. Especially as she

stares up at the ornate wooden ceiling or gives a tour of what’s to be. Retail space there. Office here. Stage front and center for live music.

Down here, a kiln. That corner, a dark room for film photography. And right there, a studio for pottery—the art collective’s most popular class (Unchained Melody not included).

“I am so excited,” Jeni says. “This space really just feels like ours. It’s going to be so nice.”

For over a year, Hegsted and her only other full-time staff member Keely Brennan, the program coordinator of Emerge, have been working out of office space in the Human Rights Education Institute building near City Park.

And while the space itself has served its purpose admirably, Brennan says it’s nothing compared to the real thing. Especially a space that’s larger, with more opportunity.

“I can’t even put into words,” Keely says. “It’s

beautiful, and we just have so much more space to do all the things we used to in the past. Now we will have the proper tools to put those things into reality in a much more solid, structured way.”

As they’ve learned this year, timelines can quickly change, but the duo are planning for a May 14 grand opening, with a soft opening in the weeks prior. The two hope to be set up and ready to go by midApril, at least as far as office space goes.

From there, it’s anyone’s guess. Barring a COVID-21 surprise party or fire 2.0 (knock on locally sourced, recycled wood), Emerge is planning in-person art events again, including another Pop Up Art Show in July.

For their May opening, Hegsted is spotlighting work from artists Maya Rumsey and Reinaldo Gil Zambrano. The former specializes in ornate and striking pottery work, while the latter in printmaking that demands your full attention, if anything, to make sense of the many visual elements.

Emerge will be following Idaho’s COVID-19 guidelines, say Hegsted and Brennan, and if that means opening at a lower capacity, so be it.

But until then, daydreaming will do: about the ceiling, the dark room, the classrooms soon to be full of people. The energy. The vibrance. The art.

“We had the fire. We had this new space,” Jeni says. “It’s all crazy. But we’re here now.”

lilacslemons

created by Vince Bozzi

by Dave Black

As the CEO of NAI BLACK and 2020 Chairman of the board

of the Downtown Spokane Partnership, I have an interesting perspective on current events in our great community.

I am so honored to be asked to write ‘Lilacs and Lemons.’ Vince Bozzi’s talent was to bring up both with flair, and he is a tough act to follow. I sure miss my friends Vince and Emily. I loved seeing them at Spokane events, and life will never be quite the same without them.

All of our lives have changed from this dreadful pandemic.

“If life hands you a lemon, make lemonade…” I know Vince and Emily are laughing at me from heaven as I try and walk in their big shoes, if only for one page of their wonderful magazine.

Lilacs to the new Amazon 1.3 million square foot fulfillment facility under construction in the Spokane Valley. Having another one thousand Amazon employees will put Amazon in the top two for private employment in Spokane, when added to the four thousand employees at the 2.6 million square foot West Plains facility off the freeway at the Medical Lake interchange. The new facility will decrease shipping times for customer orders of larger items and the jobs are good paying jobs.

Lemons to the City of Spokane building department. They are super slow during Covid to approve building plans and do inspections. Then when the project finally gets ready for a certificate of occupancy, they blackmail developers with all kinds “out of the blue” requirements before they issue even a temporary certificate of occupancy. An example of this is unused water lines that we had to remove in the middle of Howard Street at the last minute capped at the trunk line rather than at the building. They use remodeling to require all kinds of offsite work like fixing curbs, sidewalks, and driveways that should not be the developers' cost. I understand construction is booming in Spokane, but the city needs some new people in key positions in this very busy time. Working from home for city employees is not working well. Amazon was going to do a north side facility but changed their mind after many months of delay from the City on a “conditional use permit,” which should never have been required in an old Lowes facility.

Lilacs to those downtown companies that have brought their people back to work. When working people are downtown, it brings back a sense of normalcy to our community.

As restaurants reopen and hotels start having meeting and conventions again, our downtown will “come back” and the drug-infused criminality element will not feel as welcome.

Lemons to those that are still catering to

their fear and not supporting businesses and restaurants. I feel like we all have a responsibility to make this community better. Part of this is taking advantage of our amazing medical community and getting vaccinated when we have the opportunity.

Lilacs to the Downtown Spokane Partnership for pushing a downtown multipurpose soccer and football stadium next to the Sports Plex (The Podium) and Arena. The Spokane School District has over thirty million from a two-yearold successful levy and has completed design for a new stadium at the Albi site. This money will be spent, but it should now be spent downtown to create another world class venue for high school football, soccer, and other events. It would also be home to a new United Soccer League team. The school district would save the equivalent of 17.5 million in operations and maintenance by not doing the Albi site, and the economic impact on downtown would be well over eleven million per year. In addition, the school district would make more money by selling the Albi Site to Spokane Parks where they could add fields to Markel field. This would add even more economic impact. The central location would be more of an “even playing field” for people of all means and would be more equitable to all the high schools in the region.

Albi is a hard to get to, out of the way location, in the middle of northwest residential neighborhoods with terrible access. This location would never be chosen if it didn’t already have an old, huge, tired stadium that will be torn down one way or another.

Lemons to people who don’t like change or progress and have no vision. Whether we like it or not, this area is growing fast and as people move here for quality of life, we need to embrace new projects for the benefit of all in the community. Real estate values

are going up fast. Great for people who own property already and I would agree, not so great (lemons) for people who can afford only a given amount for rent. However, more housing than ever is being created because the economics now work without the government.

Lilacs to restaurant and hoteliers who have “held on through Covid.”

I believe by next year this will all be over, and we will emerge stronger than ever. We will have lived through history! I am hoping Gonzaga basketball will get through March Madness without the madness that has been the last year. My fingers are crossed for these young athletes and their talent and work ethic. Let’s go!

Lemons to Covid in general. It has

made many people fearful and sick.

Covid has pulled apart family and friends and has disrupted and affected everyone in the world.

We truly miss Vince and Emily Bozzi and the Spokane “scene” will never be the same without them…I am honored to have been their friend.

FIRST LOOK/spokane rising

by Anthony Gill

Downtown stadium questions still unanswered It’s hard to believe that the downtown stadium proposal was first mooted almost three years ago. Back then, advocates proposed a five-thousand-seat stadium north of the underconstruction sportsplex to house high school athletics, a minor-league soccer team, and other events.

The proposal deserves more scrutiny in light of the coronavirus-induced downturn and a worsening local housing affordability crisis. But many of the same issues remain.

Most critically, in my view, advocates are still dodging important transportation questions.

Similar facilities across the country are embracing alternative transportation by providing bus passes with every event ticket, improving pedestrian and bicycle access, and funding circulator bus routes to encourage more people to park off-site. In Seattle, the new Kraken NHL team even plans to subsidize monorail trips starting later this year.

In Spokane, by contrast, stadium boosters are proposing tearing down another entire city block (currently home to Value Village) for additional surface parking and providing it freeof-charge for school events. Just imagine this mess of drivers trying to get in and out of these parking lots on event days. Now imagine there’s also an event at the arena, and another at the new sportsplex. It would be a disaster, and more importantly, a terrible experience for visitors.

Any downtown stadium must prioritize alternative transportation options to minimize the number of people arriving in a car.

Additionally, we should consider the opportunity cost of a downtown stadium; in other 24

words, what else could be constructed there? A new stadium would be a fifty-year investment, and the North Bank has long been eyed for housing development. Providing more housing close to downtown brings people closer to jobs, amenities, and community events. It decreases traffic, reduces carbon emissions, and makes our city more walkable.

From an economic development perspective, long-term residents can provide a sustained, long-term, and daily customer base for nearly all local businesses. Stadium visitors, meanwhile, would benefit mostly restaurants and hotels—and even then, only when an event is taking place. Whenever the stadium is empty, those businesses will do no better than they do today.

Finally, there’s the simple issue of the advisory vote held in 2018, in which almost two-thirds of Spokane residents said they preferred constructing a new stadium at Joe Albi, as opposed to the location near the Spokane Arena. To change course now—after the public weighed in resoundingly and Spokane Public Schools has already invested hundreds of thousands of dollars into the Joe Albi site—could jeopardize the credibility of local elected officials and organizations with the general public.

Of course, this isn’t the first time a public project has been resurrected— the Spokane Coliseum, the precursor to the arena, was famously voted down twice. So was a bond measure which would have funded Expo ’74.

In both cases, local leaders had to get creative, tweak their plans, and practice transparent communications to get the public on board.

The Downtown Spokane Partnership and other stadium boosters should do likewise today.

W

hat does it mean to be the face of an industry? When Spokane Coeur d’Alene Living magazine approached the following businesses, we had in mind people who were not only successful in the traditional sense, but also leaders in the way they chose to conduct business. Though the businesses span a wide range of industries, there are obvious commonalities. The emphasis on people-forward business practices ran across the board, as well as the desire to be a force for good in our community by providing jobs and creating partnerships with other businesses.

We hope these leaders can provide a blueprint of how businesses should be run: with integrity, passion, innovation, and bravery.

But reading her story, learning that the tribes of Mexico are designed to be some of the most ideal runners in the world—I thought, ‘This is in my blood, that’s why I am who I am.’ twentieth mile,” Vigil says. “But we didn’t really find that was a problem.”

It only seemed natural, then, to record their conversations out of a blanket-lined room in Mead’s Spokane home for the whole Internet to hear.

Mead, an avid podcast listener, had long kept a journal of ideas for one day starting their own show. But each bolt of inspiration was met with defeat when a quick Google search revealed the idea had been taken.

“So I suddenly had this thought—what if we tell the stories from history that we never got to hear because all our history books are written by white men?” Mead says. “It turns out I didn’t look hard enough, because other shows like that do exist, but I’d like to think we’re doing something unique—there’s more swearing and rage.”

Rita and Amanda channel the righteous rage of long-overlooked women from the past into I Don’t Know Her, a weekly podcast blending the stories of female pioneers with the natural intimacy of the hosts’ friendship (and the occasional insight about Spokane politics and cuisine).

The show’s title—which Rita admits was inspired by that Mariah Carey meme— reflects how most of their subjects, from early filmmaker Alice Guy-Blaché to warrior nun Ani Pachen Dolma, have been brushed aside by mainstream histories.

Each episode begins with Rita and Amanda discussing what’s happened in their own lives that week, from work struggles to emotional breakthroughs in therapy, and ends with both hosts in awe of the subject’s accomplishments—and, frequently, fury at the lack of recognition they received. They don’t shy away from the ugly details in the stories they tell, nor the ones in their own lived experiences. The result is an intimate, personal take on the

depths of history that gives its subjects a shot at a second life.

IDK Her’s stories often mesh with the hosts’ own, whether intentionally or serendipitously. Rita is frequently drawn to stories of physical endurance, like that of Lorena Ramirez, a member of the indigenous Rarámuri tribe who runs ultramarathons through the Mexican desert dressed in a traditional skirt and huaraches.

“I always thought I could never be a runner,” Rita says. “But reading her story, learning that the tribes of Mexico are designed to be some of the most ideal runners in the world—I thought, ‘This is in my blood, that’s why I am who I am.’”

Amanda’s stories often feature people whose early lives were marred by abuse, poverty, or voicelessness. One of their favorites is the episode on Emma “Grandma” Gatewood, who, after decades of domestic abuse, escaped her husband and at age sixty-seven became the first woman to hike the Appalachian Trail solo.

“She took on her own demons, and out of the ashes of this really terrible, crushing thing, she built something new,” Amanda says. “That’s been a theme in my own life, of doing my damnedest to not let my experiences as a young person hold me back while still honoring those parts of my identity.”

The podcast has kept strong through the COVID-19 pandemic, despite brief lulls in production when both Vigil and Mead were stricken by the virus. And as they now approach 100 episodes and twenty thousand subscribers, Rita and Amanda feel pretty proud of the stories they’ve told— but there are infinitely more to tell, and they don’t plan to slow down anytime soon.

Amanda says their “shoot-for-the-moon goal” is to one day join the Exactly Right podcast network, which produces the wildly popular true crime show My Favorite Murder.

“I want to be part of something bigger and reach a wider audience so more people can hear these stories,” Amanda says.

“Because ultimately, that’s what we set out to do, and these women and queer people and people of color all deserve so much more than they’ve got.”

Pringle weaves loss, love, and suicide together in the tale spanning the summer. The circus is down to minimal acts, as desperate and dying as the towns they are visiting. Join the circus for one last hoorah, one last chance at something bigger, one more show.

Glaciers by Alexis Smith (novella) This is a story about Isabelle, a young, curious collector of other people’s discarded items. Glaciers closely follows Isabelle’s every-day notions, from her intensive work on restoring old books, to an unrequited love, to her nostalgic reminiscence upon her life as a girl in Alaska.

The Cassandra by Sharma Shields (novel) Shields reimagines the story of the Trojan priestess Cassandra in a way that somehow simultaneously feels more magical than the original tale and more real and tangible.

Mildred is a clairvoyant, an intellectual, a caretaker, and then, a secretary at a research center responsible for death and destruction.

When Mildred finally feels she’s doing something important, something larger than life, an ethical ultimatum, falls upon her. How will she get out?

In Accelerated Silence: Poems by Brooke Matson (poetry) In Accelerated Silence captures that unexplainable, inconsolable moment of quiet amidst grief.

I’m Fine But You Appear To Be Sinking by Leyna Krow (short stories) Dive into Krow’s strange and fantastical mind in these stories about the world ending, about a pet octopus, about strange objects appearing in your backyard.

You say your disease speaks to you in low tones, spilling through palm fronds and spinning you down again. You tell me not to blame myself.

When we were small you would plead mama mama rosie holding out your hands so we could dance around the living room naked, soft, and feeling so much like ourselves we didn’t know there was any other way.

When your heart stopped I was forty-three hours away by car and the nurses were screaming at you to stay with them. I could hear you singing mama mama rosie, your little flat feet turning, touching down on the green carpet, papa papa posie, ashes ashes — You called me this morning to describe what it was like to die, like your hands were under my body, teaching me to float. Like something was lifting out of you.

This might not be the last time, we both know how fast things change. How it seems our home was lifted into the sky sometimes and flipped on its head, so we’d all fall down, tip back into nothing.

‘She just has a love for humanity’ Latina activist fights to expand resources to immigrant and undocumented community

Last summer, Lili Navarrete spent her

weekends under 100-degree weather for several hours straight in rural towns across Washington so she could provide health care assistance to farmworkers and Latinos whose needs were largely ignored as the pandemic loomed over their communities.

Navarrete, forty-three, recalls feeling drained from working over ninety hours a week on average alongside a team operating a mobile clinic during the late summer and fall months. Despite her weariness, she

42

BOZZIMEDIA.com / APRIL 2021

never hesitated to help wherever she could.

“Just seeing the appreciation of the community and hearing them say ‘mil gracias’ because they’d been put aside for so long,” she says, “that to us was all we needed to continue.”

Navarrete works as the director of public affairs for Planned Parenthood of Greater Washington and North Idaho, which based in Spokane, and the manager for Raíz, the organization’s outreach program for the Latino community. She had been working

to address health disparities among the Latino community before the pandemic hit, but once it did, it magnified the existing health disparities and inequities. This prompted her to apply for a grant that would allow Raíz to fund a mobile clinic.

Navarrete led efforts to bring Raíz to Washington in 2018 after attending a conference that outlined how the program allows organizers to work alongside the Latino community to improve sex education, reproductive health, and access

to health care.

“When I got out of that workshop, I'm like, ‘I need to bring this to Spokane, because there isn't family support and there is nowhere where [the Latino community] can turn to,’” she says.

Within the first year, the program was up and running, and Navarrete was nominated for the Invincible Award in Washington, D.C., for her work in expanding resources to the Latino community. But her biggest accomplishments, she says, are the

relationships she’s been able to cultivate with people through her activism.

Navarrete’s reputation preceded her.

Mitzi Guerin, a coworker of Navarrete’s, had heard about Navarrete’s advocacy for the Latino and Immigrant communities before they even met. Guerin says she’s amazed to see the balance Navarrete has achieved in helping the Latino community all the while being a mom to three children.

“I was excited to be working with her and I also just really wanted to learn from her

and figure out what drove her passion to do the work she does,” Guerin says.

Navarrete brings a fresh perspective to the work she does in health care and in ensuring resources are available to undocumented individuals, Guerin says, adding that Navarrete understands the discrimination undocumented people can face and the difficulty they have in accessing resources because she’s lived it herself.

When Navarrete was eleven years old, her family made the decision in 1988 to leave

Mexico City and move to Spokane, in search of a safer and more stable life. She started sixth grade speaking no English.

“I remember going home crying every day, just telling my parents, ‘I don't like this, we left friends, we left family in Mexico and this doesn't feel like home,’” she says.

Even now, Navarrete can still recall the expression of frustration from teachers when she couldn’t understand what they were telling her. She was then moved into English as a Second Language classes, where she felt comfortable surrounded by other kids who, despite coming from different backgrounds shared a commonality of not being part of the dominant culture.

“We wanted to be accepted so we just didn’t talk about the hurt we faced, and my parents at the same time were hurting too because they didn’t know how to approach the subject. There were many things that they just couldn’t have known,” she says.

BOZZIMEDIA.com / APRIL 2021

The needs that we encountered growing up make me fight and make me help to make my community feel a bit more comfortable and welcomed here.

Fernando Diaz met Navarrete in 2007 through mutual friends, which marked the beginning of their friendship.

“She is an energy ball,” Diaz says. “Back then I didn’t know that she would ever become such a brilliant activist in the Latino community. I pictured her working an office job.”

But this makes sense, he says. Diaz is constantly left in awe by Navarrete’s activism—especially her efforts to provide health care to farm working communities during the pandemic, putting her own health at risk to help the most vulnerable, he says.

“She’s always doing something to help; she’s not only dedicated but she’s enmeshed in her culture and she just has a love for humanity,” Diaz says. “She really sees people as people and not as the color of their skin, their socioeconomic status, religion, or anything.”

Navarrete says her biggest struggle has been finding acceptance within a predominantly white society and culture.

It’s been difficult to come to terms with the reality that some people are still racist and will shout degrading things during local undocumented and immigrant rights rallies, she says.

“Just because we’re undocumented doesn’t mean they get to demonize and dehumanize us,” she says. “We deserve to be treated as an equal and be respected out in the community.”

Navarrete had her residency while she was in high school, which allowed her to apply for grants that ultimately allowed her to attend college. But it wasn’t until she was twenty-two years old that she gained citizenship, having already graduated from Eastern Washington University in 1999.

She still keeps her citizenship certificate safely in a vault that is waterproof and fireproof.

At one point, Navarrete was juggling three jobs at the same time, but still found it difficult to make enough money

to pay her bills. When she was presented with an opportunity to apply to work as a call representative for Planned Parenthood in 2015, she jumped on it and was later promoted twice.

Once she established Raíz in 2018, Navarrete and her team set out to create relationships with community members and organizations in Spokane. She was involved in efforts to restrict border patrol agents from entering Greyhound buses to inquire about people’s legal status and helped organize rallies to increase awareness of the issue and call on city councilmembers to do something.

City Councilmember Kate Burke has worked with Navarrete on a variety of projects and rallies, particularly centered on educating the Spokane community on immigration.

“She really has used her life experiences to educate, and that doesn’t go unnoticed because when people are having to relive hard times in their lives or reliving their trauma, it’s not easy,” she says.

Navarrete speaks from her heart and always does what she feels is right, regardless of what people around her might think or say, Burke says.

A lot of Navarrete’s desire to help others stems from seeing her father volunteer his time to helping Airway Heights prison inmates as a young girl. Many were in for petty crimes such as stealing food or being caught with a few grams of Marijuana. All they wanted was to talk to somebody in Spanish, which her father did, offering them counseling or just an opportunity to talk. Navarrete was raised in a Catholic household and says her father taught her and her siblings to always lend a helping hand where they are able.

“To be out in the community helping out anyone who needs it— that’s my calling,” Navarrete says.

“When COVID hit, I missed the community, the microphones, the bullhorns.”

But COVID-19 didn’t stop Navarrete and activists from organizing. She cultivated partnerships with local clinics in rural areas to better provide health care assistance to farmworkers and provide testing.

Resources were limited, but they tested over five hundred workers and about thirty percent of the tests came back positive.

What Navarrete saw broke her heart. Some workers were living in FEMA-style tents, she says, and she remembers providing medical assistance to a family who had all contracted COVID-19. Eventually, the family could no longer pay the hospital bills and even considered taking a family member off a ventilator.

The team provided them with health care assistance and enough food to last them several weeks as they selfisolated.

46

BOZZIMEDIA.com / APRIL 2021

Guerin remembers Navarrete’s sunburnt face as she worked fourteen hours straight and, despite being tired and hungry, her number one priority remained on helping every patient.

“She was just like, ‘Let me check in on these patients, let me make sure they have phone numbers to call if they need to follow up with us, let me make sure they have food, let me make sure they don’t have any question before they leave,’” Guerin says.

Guerin wonders if the mobile clinic patients would have ever been tested or had enough food had Navarrete not advocated for the mobile clinic to go out and distribute resources.

During this time Navarrete and Raíz organizers—in partnership with the Hispanic Business/Professional Association—continued to provide culturally appropriate food to Latino families in Spokane and beyond.

Navarrete recalls her family going to food banks when she was younger while going through economically challenging times and not having access to foods that they ate every day.

“The needs that we encountered growing up make me fight and make me help to make my community feel a bit more comfortable and welcomed here,” she says.

Navarrete says she still feels like she’s fighting for acceptance some days but knows she will never give up on her work. It’s important to be intersectional as activist and allow people of color to speak for themselves, she says.

“We don’t need white saviors, we need allies, we need friends that will show up for us and help us open doors,” she says. “It's not about you having a bumper sticker or posting it on your social media, it's about taking action, donating or volunteering,” Navarrete says.

very year, we have the absolute privilege of honoring women who are leading the way in our business community, and we could not be more excited about the thirteen women on this list, with a special spot reserved in our hearts for our late co-founder, Emily Guevarra Bozzi.

Like Emily, the other women on this list have undeniable passion for what they do.

Christy Adams, owner and occupational therapist at Periwinkle Children’s Family, loves working with families to improve their lives.

Erin Bishop is the founder and president of Whatever Girls, an organization that provides resources for parents and teenage girls to help them thrive.

Melody Chang, in addition to being the director of marketing for Inland Northwest Opera, is also a Spokane Symphony board member representing the Spokane Symphony Chorale, where she also holds the spot of first soprano.

Dr. Mable Dunbar is the president and CEO of Women’s Healing and Empowerment Network, which provides healing and empowerment in the form of education, counseling, healing centers, resources, and other support services in the areas of domestic violence, sexual abuse, and related abuse.

Ann Louise Gittleman has published over thirty-seven books about alternative and integrative health while mentoring many.

Natasha Hill opened her own law practice while being actively involved with the Center for Human and Civil Rights and an Inland Northwest Business Alliance board member.

In addition to being a KXLY morning co-anchor, Robyn Nance is the Teen and Kid Closet co-founder.

As the director of Tribal communications, April Pierre has been instrumental in building the Kalispel Tribe of Indians’ web presence.

Barbara Wagstaff Parkes, Wagstaff president, worked tirelessly even while going through cancer treatments.

Traci Couture Richmond, the Spokane Teaching Health Center executive director, was key in securing continued funding for the center.

Sandy Williams is the founder and publisher of Black Lens News and the executive director of the Carl Maxey Center.

And long before she was a councilwoman, Betsy Wilkerson was the owner and administrator of Moore’s Assisted Living, Carl Maxey Center board member, past president of the Women Helping Women Fund, and more. With all of these women, “and more” certainly applies.

We hope you enjoy learning more about them as much as we did.

THIS IS DIRT

‘A charismatic powerhouse with a zest for life’

Emily Guevarra Bozzi The decision to posthumously award Emily Guevarra Bozzi was easy, as we had seen her in action. She lit up when she spoke about her clients and valued relationships above all.

We asked a handful of them one question: What was it like to do business with Emily?

Lisa VanMansum, Corporate Communications Manager, Rockwood Retirement Communities

Emily’s sincerity was always apparent.

She was always first interested to know how I was doing and then how she could help Rockwood Retirement Communities. Emily and I shared a challenging time in our personal lives, and I fondly remember that we held one another’s hands and prayed together for support and healing. I needed that as much as I know that she did that day.

Richard L. Dixon, President, Gold Seal Plumbing

Emily was the most respected and friendly salesperson to call on Gold Seal. No matter what was happening, there was a smile on Emily’s face. Emily would bring around new editions every month, checking to see that everything and everyone was doing well. When Emily was making a sales presentation, it was never high pressure, but rather, a low-key effort to show you the benefits of spending the money with Bozzi Media. Emily will be long remembered by everyone here who had even a casual chance to meet her.

Chantale Morgenstern, owner, California Closets

Emily was a joy to work with; she always made you feel important and noted any changes in your business— always happy to see you succeed.

She had her pint-sized way of endearing herself to all the staff with an ever-present smile and a well-placed “My dear.” She wasn’t just interested in marketing your business; she really used her connections to better the businesses around her and strengthen our community as a whole. She is dearly missed.

BOZZIMEDIA.com / APRIL 2021

Deena Treperinas, owner, Sunny Buns Tanning Salon and Spa

Emily had a rare sales pitch that won me over every time she came to see me! She just plain had compassion and deeply cared for all of us small business owners and ended up being a true friend of mine. I loved her because she was so real. I miss her so much!

Dr. Kai Morimoto

Emily Bozzi was an amazing and energetic and tireless woman who inspired me in so many ways to be a better version of myself. She was a charismatic powerhouse with a zest for life and her business. She believed in me as a person and as a businesswoman and always met me with a smile and encouraging hug. I have many acquaintances but very few I would call a ‘friend.’ Emily was a true friend of mine and one who touched my life and the lives of my children so deeply. She will remain in my heart and memories until I no longer exist.

Amanda Dewey, owner, Bridal Collections

Emily was inspiring! She believed in me and the future success of my business.

In the short time I spent with Emily, she would call to check in and offered to help and give advice. She will be missed dearly. I am truly grateful to have met Emily.

Kathy Amistoso Main, RE/MAX

I met Emily advertising with Spokane Coeur d’Alene Living magazine, but we ended up being good friends. She lived in Kendall Yards and we would meet periodically for lunch or dinner.

Emily was a shining positive light, always so happy and always ready to help with anything.

Kalispel Tribe of Indians - Director of Tribal Communications Proudest moment or biggest success: Launching our recent website has been my biggest success. I had a tilted lens of the website because I was looking at it from an inside perspective. In this last web evolution, I was like, ‘These are people who have never met us before.’ Trying to fit everything the tribe is into one site was challenging, so I put it into a multi-site platform where each department has a unique URL and presence, but we still have a global navigation to switch back and forth. Now we have a channel to tell our story to folks.

What do you think the Inland Northwest business community has to offer women?

We have a lot of resources between the organizations that exist to network, but you have to know it’s there and be active in it. That’s where I learned and grew the most. More specific to Tribal communications, I reached out to a few local tribes and their communication folks. We’ve had a few what I would call Tribal summits out at Northern Quest where we talked about challenges and successes.

April Pierre

What advice would you give young women as they consider their professional future?

Be patient and have a long-term goal. Be patient and build a network of other professionals who you trust. Share in your successes and challenges and learn from what they do and share what you do.

Proudest moment or biggest success: Anything I’ve achieved is because God designed me to complete the tasks set before me and blessed me by placing people in my life to teach and help me. The most rewarding moments have been seasons of being stretched, challenged, and humbled. When I’ve had the opportunity to come out of a difficult season to see how God has worked all things in my life together for good for His purposes. Nothing is wasted; God is the master bricklayer.

What do you think the Inland Northwest business community has to offer women?

I don’t believe there is a glass ceiling—we need to look at obstacles as opportunities. If God calls us to something, He will equip us to complete it.

There are women who have been mistreated, undervalued, underestimated, and excluded from opportunities—including me. I’m a build my own table, do what people think I can’t twice, and take pictures type of gal. I’m also a firm believer that every good thing in us comes from God. What advice would you give young women as they consider their professional future?

Don’t despise humble beginnings; if you’re fortunate enough to start at the bottom of an organization at least once and have a teachable spirit, you’ll learn skills and gain experience that will serve as building blocks for your career advancement. Being faithful in the little things will serve you in your career and life. Give every task your best effort, especially when no one is watching. Show up to serve and treat others as you’d like to be treated.

Inland Northwest Opera, Director of Marketing Proudest moment or biggest success: In the professional realm, I would have to say working on Disney’s Lion King was a huge feat. That was one of my favorite productions to work on, but also one of the most difficult. Disney is such a great brand, and they protect their brand, so it was a huge learning experience for me. It was amazing to be able to work on something like that so early in my career.

What do you think the Inland Northwest business community has to offer women?

I think Spokane offers women a lot more opportunities that they would not usually find in a bigger city. What I’ve found in Spokane is that everyone knows each other, and the business community here is tight knit, but also very welcoming. Women here can get further in their career earlier on. That’s how I felt.

Melody Chang

Where do you expect your career to be in five years?

I’m getting married this year, and while I expect my career to keep growing, I don’t expect it to skyrocket because family is a priority for us. You never what’s going to happen when you first start thinking about starting a family. I hope I’m still working in the art scene, doing anything I can. Spokane has such a vibrant art scene; a lot of people don’t realize that and there are so many places someone like me could go.

President/CEO of Women’s Healing and Empowerment Network Proudest moment or biggest success: My proudest moment was marrying my husband. I’ve been married to a pastor just over forty-seven years now and we’ve had a great relationship.

My mom became pregnant with me from being raped, and I had my own emotional issues dealing with that. When I met my husband, he helped bolster my self-esteem. He has been there 100 percent of the time, supporting me and helping me grow.

What do you think the Inland Northwest business community has to offer women?

The community offers a sensitivity toward diversity and toward women.

When I was looking for a board chair, I interviewed this gentleman who is a white, middle class man, and I looked at him and said, ‘Tom, I’m a Black, foreign female,’—because I’m originally from Bermuda, although I’ve been in this country over thirty years—’the community is predominantly run by white, middle class males. I need a white, middle class male to champion this program.’ And he looked at me and said, ‘I can do that, and I will do that.’

What advice would you give young women as they consider their professional future?

I believe that if an individual feels strongly that they are called to do something, what they should do is walk in that path, knowing that if it’s God’s will, He will open up the path and put the people there to help you succeed.

Periwinkle Children’s Therapy, Owner/Occupational Therapist Proudest moment or biggest success: Every day working with children is rewarding—it’s hard to pick one moment. If you can change someone’s life, even just a little bit, that’s success. I love what I do with families and kids, hopefully making little changes here and there that better everyone’s life.

What do you think the Inland Northwest business community has to offer women?

Most people who work in our field are women; we’ve never needed to seek out support. Unfortunately, there’s always a need for a therapist.

Honestly, there’s never a need to advertise for our business because we have a waitlist. Within the small therapy community, I feel like it’s a good community. We’re good about referring people elsewhere if we have a waitlist, and we have good relationships with the other doctors.

Christy Adams

What advice would you give young women as they consider their professional future?

Everyone should definitely job shadow. I was going to go into physical therapy, and then I got exposed to occupational therapy while I was going to college. I realized it covered that and more. I always thought about being a teacher too, so it covered that as well. I also work with birth to three a lot, so I feel like I do a little bit of everything. I love the broadness of the field.

Anyone going into a career needs to love what they do.

Owner, Natasha L. Hill, P.S. Proudest moment or biggest success: My biggest success is being able to run my own practice. Being a solo practitioner is not for the meek. It requires you to not just be an attorney and provide good legal services to your client, but also to operate a business, handle the administrative side of things— accounting, operations, an efficient system for bringing in clients, closing out cases, all of that good stuff. But having my own business has given me the opportunity to have my own platform and a lot of autonomy in terms of the cases I take, the clients I represent, and the other things that I can be involved in within the greater community.

What do you think the Inland Northwest business community has to offer women?

I’ve been back here as a professional for nearly five years. Barring the last two, there have been a lot of women professionals I’ve seen, specifically in law. It feels good to see firms that do have a significant number of women partners at the firm.

What advice would you give young women as they consider their professional future?

Your abilities are limitless in terms of what you’re willing to do in order to accomplish goals. Find something that you can be passionate about, that you would do for free if money wasn’t something that we have to rely on to survive and support ourselves.

Then it won’t feel as much like work.

Teen and Kid Closet co-founder/ KXLY morning co-anchor Proudest moment or biggest success: With Teen and Kid Closet, there were two things. The first was simply opening the doors, putting an idea into motion and getting backing from the community that this was a viable and valuable idea. In 2019, we were awarded the Congressional Award called Angels in Adoption, and we got to go to Washington, D.C., accept this award, and meet with members of Congress. It was really special to be recognized and honored that what we’re doing is directly affecting our community.

What do you think the Inland Northwest business community has to offer women?

One of the things that I think is wonderful about the business community and women’s role in it is that we see so much partnership and mentorship where it could be very back-biting and sabotaging—it’s really not; there’s a lot of support.

What advice would you give young women as they consider their professional future?

Don’t be afraid of failure because you won’t put yourself out there. I speak from personal experience, I waited so long to ask for help.

Also, be a part of your community. There are so many ways to get involved and to help. Everybody has some kind of interest or passion. It could be animals— obviously for me, it’s children. Find some way to pitch in and use your talents to help the community at large.

Robyn Nance

City Councilwoman Proudest moment or biggest success: My biggest accomplishment in this year in government was introducing the word equity into our conversations, and it has made a difference. My question has been, ‘Where’s the equity in this for all citizens of Spokane?’

Now what that translates to is race, but it’s also socioeconomic. It had never been part of the conversation, and today city council has really started training. Businesses are talking about having cultural audits, so I think I’ve had a huge impact on cultural awareness.

What do you think the Inland Northwest business community has to offer women?

What I feel it has to offer on many levels—whether it is professional or social connecting—is that it’s filling a void that, in my opinion, has not been addressed as well as it could have been: focusing on women unapologetically.

BOZZIMEDIA.com / APRIL 2021

What advice would you give young women as they consider their professional future?

My advice would be to follow your passion, and whatever it is, do it for the right reason. And the right reason is the people that it's going to affect, whatever the outcome. I don’t care if you’re building a resume, it’s about people—about yourself, the people who are going to read it, the people who are going to hire you, or the people you are going to work with—but it’s always going to be about the people.

Author, nutritionist Proudest moment or biggest success: I would say my biggest success is being so instrumental in the careers of thousands of nutritionists, health care practitioners, and health coaches. That makes me very proud, very inspired, and very motivated. Helping people is what I’m all about.

What do you think the Inland Northwest business community has to offer women?

I believe it’s one of the most vibrant health communities in the country. I think it’s very open, very alternative, very integrative—takes the best of both worlds: the clinical/medical and the alternative/integrative. I’m proud to be a member of the community, I’m proud to offer any of my expertise, and I love the people who are here. They’re very involved with outside activities, very involved with their inner health and wellbeing, and so they bring the best of both worlds.

Ann Louise Gittleman

What advice would you give young women as they consider their professional future?

I would absolutely say to follow your passion. I would say see what makes your heart sing, your spirit thrive, and just follow and do whatever it takes to make your dreams come true. I started out many, many years ago on East Coast. I knew exactly what I wanted to do—I wanted to help people get well and find the underlying causes of disease. It’s taken me right here to the Pacific Northwest. So, whatever your passion is, don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and follow your dreams.

President, Wagstaff Proudest moment or biggest success: My proudest moment was becoming the president of Wagstaff five years ago.

What do you think the Inland Northwest business community has to offer women?

I think it can offer women anything that they’re looking for.

If they get their education, and if they're qualified, they can go anywhere they want.ey want.

What advice would you give young women as they consider their professional future?

They should work hard and with integrity. Wagstaff has been in business for seventy years, and I believe that the success of Wagstaff is because of hard work, integrity, innovation, and quality. A young woman going into business has to share those principles to succeed.

Spokane Teaching Health Center, Executive Director Proudest moment or biggest success: My proudest moment was the day that I found out that our funding that we had been lobbying for through the federal government was going to be reauthorized. Our funding was part of the Affordable Care Act in 2010. The House became Republican-controlled, and it was tough to convince the Republicans to support anything that came out of the ACA. It was not only convincing Republican leadership that they should support this and why it was a good thing, but also really talking about the desperate need that a lot of rural communities were finding themselves in.

What do you think the Inland Northwest business community has to offer women?

The women who are involved in this community are incredibly supportive of one another, and want to build each other up, always looking to develop the women coming up behind them. I was influenced by watching my mom—she’s about to retire from Providence as the CEO— mentor women to take leadership positions in health care.

What advice would you give young women as they consider their professional future?

Don’t ever let anyone tell you that you can’t do something or that you’re too young. I spent a lot of time in my career worrying about what people thought of me, about how young I was, and I really feel like sometimes that held me back. I was so worried about what people older and more experienced than me were going to think.

Founder and Publisher, Black Lens News Proudest moment or biggest success: My proudest moment was when I had my fifth anniversary celebration for the Black Lens in February 2020, right before the COVID lockdown.

There were 100 and some odd people celebrating with me—my family members, and people from the community. It was a milestone that I didn’t necessarily believe I would reach when I started the paper. The celebration felt like a family that had come together to support this accomplishment.

What do you think the Inland Northwest business community has to offer women?

I think there’s a tremendous amount of opportunity here. One of the things I say frequently is that what I love about Spokane is the size. It’s the right size so that you can have an impact here in a way that you might not be able to have in places like Manhattan or Los Angeles, or some place of that size. You can make a big difference here on a large scale, and I think those opportunities are equally available to women as they are to men.

Sandy Williams

What advice would you give young women as they consider their professional future?

I would give the same advice that I give my daughter who’s in her thirties. It’s about identifying what she’s really good at, trusting that there’s a way to make that happen, and backing that up with hard work and perseverance. Sometimes you have to give up fun stuff to get to the place you want to get to, but in the end, it’s worth it.

WCW: Women celebrating women ANNA HAYES

22 Rooms, opened in 2020 I’m an interior designer by trade but consider myself more of a life creator.

I opened with the intent to get people to live better by encouraging the questioning of their choices in all the rooms of their life: health and wellness, relationships, food, career, what they buy and who they support when they do buy something.

Anna nominates Deb Di Bernado: “She is such a badass lady who believes in doing what’s right for people and business.

She’s committed to organic and paying livable wages to coffee producers, which is hard to find amongst most coffee shops, and her crew is the best in town.”

DEB DI BERNADO

1st Ave. opened May 2019 (also Roast House owner) To read more about Deb, turn to page # to read “For the Love of Coffee”

Deb nominates Bethe Bowman: “Her business acumen is fine-tuned; she’s got it down. Casually and gently, she shares really good information and I’ve used that information to fine tune how I’ve approached my business. She has mentored me in the financial aspect particularly, and I don’t even think she means to—she just does, and she’s done the same for so many of our other local businesses.”

TODAY'S WOMAN/this is dirt

The view is lovely as late afternoon sun pushes the shadows into long lines. Bright gold dances about on tiny new tree buds and bent over gray grass around the wetland. The view out my kitchen window is a large ground-fed pond. When I close my eyes and think of any season or time of year, I can picture the details of how

that window view looks.

I know the golden glow of early October when the quaking aspen makes a dramatic show before dropping its chattering leaves for a silent winter. I know how the bent and disintegrating reeds and cattails, grasses, and rushes seem to disappear overnight as

spring washes the area with vibrancy and green life.

I know when the yellow-headed blackbird goes silent in winter, and when he returns to chit chit and the screeching buzz and slamming door sound of his call. I know how the air smells when the frogs' song begins, and I remember each flower and when it will appear.

The view out my kitchen window has been a form of mindful meditation for over ten years now.

The view out my kitchen window has been a form of mindful meditation for over ten years now. And yet, as I think of the hogwash marketing of mindfulness programs—5 steps to inner peace, eCourse to a mindful life part 3, and however many flashing colors of dollar signs bombard us each day—hogwash. That’s what my dad would call it. Diluted nonsense meant to create feelings of lack and insufficiency.

I’m certain there are mindfulness practices that one can pay for and get value. And yet, I wonder if we’ve tried too hard to package everything for voracious consumer appetites.

I once read an article that stated looking out a window at nature for just fifteen minutes a day has an overall impact on measurable health markers. Where did I read that? Some scroll years ago when I was staring at my phone instead of out the window. That tidbit has stuck with me.

When did we come to the idea that looking at nature through the glass was enough, something to strive for, an OK substitute for something unquantifiable?

Look out the window. It’s that easy. Good grief.

Before the letters to the editor roll in about people not having access to the outdoors or not being physically capable of going outside, I would say, Hush now, let’s look at this through the eyes of context.

Look around you. Look at where we live. Seriously, put this magazine down and go to a window or door and look, then if you can, step out there. Look at the sky, look at the ground, look as far off in the distance as you can. Even if you’re downtown, you’ll see natural beauty. If you stand long enough outside, you’ll begin to feel a pulsing of energy. It’s slight, and it takes practice, but it’s there if you wait.

That pulsing is what I believe to be the heartbeat of the city, the forest, the prairie. It feels different everywhere you go. It’s there. And you can’t get that through a window.

If you are able, practice a bit of mindfulness each day. Sometimes that looks like gratitude, and other times it looks like standing at the sink intentionally savoring every single bite of ice cream eaten from the carton as you look out the kitchen window. And yes, no matter what you’ve read—because I’ve read it too—you can stand at the kitchen sink and stare out the window and still eat mindfully.

Basement transforms to movie night

A

by Kim Mehaffey

s Covid restrictions lift, we have decided to host a movie night with our close friends in our pre-Covid renovated basement. A private movie experience for four with popcorn, candy, and a full range of cocktails.

When we moved into our home in 2016, it was new construction and the basement reminded me of a boring, plain box. There was not one architectural element to focus on. For the first three years my hubby and I lived in the house, we discussed how we would like to live in and use the space in basement. Keep in mind we were empty nesters pre-Covid.

I had always envisioned a fireplace as the focal point and to make it warm and cozy downstairs. Since the space had odd window placement, the question was which wall should become our focal point? We decided if we were going to the expense of adding a fireplace, we wanted a beverage station and built-in cabinetry to match the upstairs fireplace wall.

We hired Strohmaier Construction to complete our dream basement. The finished product matches and appears as if it was completed at the time of construction, which was very important to me to have a seamless flow and not appear as an afterthought. It was important to my hubby that the seventy-inch TV, surround sound, and theater seating create a movie theater environment for viewing our favorite family movie tradition at holidays: Princess Bride.

I wanted to create a space that the boys would enjoy and want to come home to and enjoy with us. Thus, the fully stocked beverage station and bar. I kept our old foosball table that the boys grew up playing—always trying to challenge their dad. I made sure to include the massive chess set my husband is currently using to teach our granddaughter, and the handmade cribbage board my stepdad made for us. I think it is a perfect fit for our family and how we want to use that space.

I think our success with this project is in part because we

lived in the space for a while prior to starting construction and we hired a super contractor.

hen it comes to design, inspiration can be found anywhere: a painting, the view from a favorite lookout point, an article of clothing. For Sydni Neumann and Sam Nelson’s airy, eclectic, bohomeets-contemporary home, it was a beloved pet.

“The color scheme is based off Sydni’s cat,” Sam says. An affinity for their two calicos (Annie and Moira Rose) is reflected through the home’s consistent color palette: black, white, rust/orange, and green.

Sydni and Sam loved the layout and the vivid greens of the surrounding property, which is just under an acre. They also knew they could transform the home, which had been owned by a single family for decades, to fit their aesthetic and needs—with some “pretty radical changes,” says Sam, like moving the location of the kitchen, updating the color story, and replacing the flooring.

They hired Strohmaier Construction, impressed by the company’s organization and responsiveness. Remarkably, the remodel began in March of 2020 and finished that July, within one hour of the time Strohmaier estimated for completion—even during a pandemic.

“They absolutely killed it,” says Sam. Sam’s preferences lean more contemporary and Sydni tends toward a more bohemian style.

They brought many of their own ideas to the table, with Strohmaier acting as a key player in 92

finding the right balance, able to “refresh our ideas and mediate between us,” says Sam. They made major changes in the layout, most notably flipping the location of the kitchen—formerly a walled-off galley. In the redone space, the large-scale, familyfriendly island has a butcher block end cap with open shelving beneath. With its eye-catching geometric backsplash and rich wood cabinetry, the kitchen anchors one end of the open concept great room while

feeling like its own distinct zone.

Creating zones was especially important to Sydni. “I like separate spaces,” she says.

“I don’t like open concept.” This home marries the best of open concept with sectioned areas, like the sunken living room.

While some expected them to raise the sunken space, the couple appreciated it as it was. When it comes to unique features others might write off, Sam and Sydni ask themselves, “Would we have enjoyed this

as ten-year-olds?” For the sunken living room, that was a definite yes. To make this a more friendly space for their family, they removed the built-in bar and wood seating, painted the soaring fireplace black (Sam created the moody, muted art hanging here), and brought in a comfy sectional. It’s one of the couple’s favorite spots to relax. “We spend most of our time when our kids are asleep down in the pit,” Sydni says.

personalities. Their home combines classic elements like soaring windows and a beamed ceiling with eclectic décor and darker accents that add to the home’s depth—skull décor, a gorgeous bouquet of now-dead roses, and plenty of black to balance out the dreamy, optimistic tones. “If there’s anything weird, we love it,” Sydni says.

The flooring through much of the home was replaced, with all of the original wool carpet (which immediately 98

killed a robot vacuum) replaced with wide-planked hardwood composite flooring finished with white oak (upstairs, the floors are Brazilian cherry, put in by the original owners). For the staircase, Sydni loved the idea of covering the treads with moody, floral wallpaper. However, due to the open staircase, they purchased a black and white floral carpet instead, which Sam painstakingly cut and laid so that the pattern aligns perfectly from step to step.

The slat wall is another element Sam created, replacing a previously less than showstopping mid-height railing with vertical wood slatting.

Each space is imbued with personality through its finishes, patterns, and texture, whether it’s the geometric granite of the kitchen backsplash, the combination of bright green vanity and delicate floral wallpaper in the powder bath, or the vivid green and geometric lines of the laundry room/mud room backsplash from Daltile. A mix of woods used in the flooring and millwork— including oak, cherry, maple, and poplar—contributes to the organic feel of the home, which is of course complemented by the couple’s many beloved indoor plants. Some of their favorites are the giant Bird of Paradise, the

Monstera—presiding over things from the top of their kitchen cabinets—and their extensive collection of snake plants.

One clear goal in the home is that it works for every member of the family. “We absolutely put a priority on the kids enjoying the space,” says Sam. To that end, the kids have a functional and great-looking playroom just off the kitchen with floor-length windows looking out onto a picture-perfect crop of bamboo; there’s also a gallery wall of collected art and lots of open play space. This room “is a favorite,” says Sam, the perfect place to hang out and “make memories.”

Another functional and beautiful main floor space is the laundry and mud room— the family’s primary entrance into the home—which they made more usable and sunny with the addition of a window, built-in cabinetry, and perfectly weathered-looking tile flooring that masterfully disguises dirt.

From upstairs, the catwalk looks down on the main floor and spans the wings of the house, connecting the kids’ bedrooms and bath and the owners’ suite.

From all of the windows there are gorgeous outdoor views. Toddler Gemma’s bedroom has “the best view in the house,” her parents say, showcasing the surrounding pines and foliage. The house “is right in the middle of town, but so forest-y,” says Sydni.

The home has a fair amount of surprising treasures, like the gorgeous walk-in owner’s closet Sydni has declared her favorite space in the house, with solid wood built-ins and an island.

“This is my room. This is where I feel best at,” Sydni says. It

also came with inherent quirks, like the full kitchenette in their room’s en suite bath that’s equipped with mini fridge (which they use) and wall-inset coffee maker (which they don’t), and a waist-height loft in one bedroom (it’s perfect for changing diapers on). But it’s no surprise that Sydni and Sam know how to make things work in a way that suits them—a trait that is obvious when it comes to the beverage fridge that the pair have devoted to a higher purpose. “Our wine fridge is actually out hot sauce fridge,” says Sydni.

and other projects as they come up. The two of them love taking on the creative challenges and are forever tweaking their spaces, bringing their complementary skills and preferences to life at home. As Sam recently wrote on their home’s Instagram (@onemidmod) about Sydni’s excellent eye for design and styling, “I am lucky to have a partner like Sydni to make such a skill look so easy and cohesive. There is seldom a time with redesigns or furniture choices that I am on the critical side of the spectrum because she so consistently makes our home feel special and cozy.”

THE NEST/great floors

With half a century under its belt, Great Floors expands while sticking to its roots

by Nina Culver

Fifty years ago, Keith Chadderdon started selling carpet out of the back of his car as he drove through Idaho and Montana.

Today, his son Doug Chadderdon leads Great Floors, which boasts nineteen showrooms across the Northwest.

Chief Operating Officer Mike Nelson has been with the company for twenty-five years, working his way up from a parttime warehouse employee in Bellingham while he attended college. In that time, the company, which began as Carpet Center, has switched from selling only flooring to include countertops, window treatments, and cabinets.

“It’s changed quite a bit and morphed and grown,” he says. “When I first started, flooring was heavily carpet and that was eighty percent of our business. It became apparent Great Floors needed to be a well-rounded home improvement store.”

“The business has strong roots in Coeur d’Alene, our headquarters have always been here,” says Director of Marketing Teresa Gavin. This is a point of pride to the company’s president Doug Chadderdon. “Great Floors' Idaho roots are very important to Doug,” she says. “We take pride in being a Northern Idaho-based company.”

108

BOZZIMEDIA.com / APRIL 2021

Doug took over the company twentyseven years ago, when his father passed away. At that time the company had only a handful of stores.

“He and his partners built the company into what it is today, with showrooms in Washington, Idaho, and Montana,” Gavin says.

Part of that growth was the purchase of Carpet Exchange in 2005, which added a number of stores in the Puget Sound area.

That’s also the year the company became Great Floors. Soon after, the company built new 40,000 square foot showrooms in Coeur d’Alene, Spokane Valley, and Lacey, Washington.

“Having multiple stores in the Northwest gives Great Floors the buying power to offer a variety of in-stock quality products and an affordable price,” Gavin says. “It also makes the customer experience easier, from selection of flooring all the way to installation,” she says.

The company services commercial, builder, multi-family as well as the retail markets. The “fourlegged stool strategy” has made the company sustainable over the years, Gavin says.

Doug Chadderdon agrees that diversity is key.

“First, we consistently provide our customers with high-quality craftsmanship at a great price,” he says. “This is the foundation of our business. We’re also continually diversifying and evolving to remain relevant and stay out front across multiple markets.”

Among the flooring products available at Great Floors is luxury vinyl plank (LVP), carpet, hardwood flooring, tile, laminate flooring, vinyl flooring and area rugs. “We carry the top brands—Shaw, Karastan, and Mannington, just to name a few,” Gavin says.

Countertops and custom cabinets are also available at many of the Great Floors locations. Those who want help designing their dream kitchen and bath can take advantage of the company’s Kitchen and Bath design services. Anyone shopping for window treatments can take their pick of styles, materials and colors. Great Floors carries a variety of window treatments from Graber and Norman.

One of the hottest products at Great Floors right now is luxury vinyl plank (LVP), Teresa says. “It’s waterproof and extremely hard-wearing, especially from scratching and denting,” she says. “And it offers a variety of different looks from wood to tile.”

LVP is also extremely affordable, she says.

The price and durability make it appealing to those interested in home improvements

as well as new home builders and apartment construction.

During the initial stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Great Floor showrooms remained open. Demand was still strong, so the company enhanced its website so people could “Shop @ Home.” They were able to provide a virtual shopping experience for the retail customer. Flooring samples were shipped to customers so they could make their selections without ever setting foot in the showrooms.

“We’ve been extremely busy,” Teresa says. “Our builder business is very strong as well.”

The business that once catered almost solely to residential customers now gets seventy-five percent of its business from commercial customers, including contractors, Nelson says. Their products can be seen everywhere from Seattle high-rise buildings to local schools.

“Adding commercial was a big deal for Great Floors,” Nelson says. “We are one of the largest providers for K-12 schools in the Northwest.”

But the company is careful to still take care of its residential customers, Nelson says. “Residential is still really important to us,” he says. “They know us for our customer service and reliability.”

Flooring and other home improvement projects are key to people’s ability to enjoy their home, especially this past year as people stayed home more. Nelson says he thinks the company has built a reputation as being trustworthy. “We have a reputation as a company, that people can trust,” he says. “They know it’s going to be a great price, and that our people care.”

That includes standing by the products they sell and fixing any problems that may come up, Nelson says. He points to it as one of the reasons the business has been so successful for fifty years. “Doug has preached for years, treat every consumer like your mother,” he says.

Employees also have a key role in the success of the company, Nelson says. “Our team does flooring every single day,” he says. “We have employees who have been with us ten, fifteen, twenty plus years. There’s a lot of opportunity to promote within. I think it’s definitely the people who make a difference.”

We consistently provide our customers with high-quality craftsmanship at a great price.

This is the foundation of our business.

David Bowie was unique in many ways, including having anisocoria—the term for eyes that appear to be two different colors because of a dilated pupil not responding to light. This phenomenon occurs in about twenty percent of the population.

HEALTH BEAT/stay active

Cardio *is* Rest THE WEATHER’S getting nicer, so this month’s workout is going to encourage you to get outside and get running, walking, biking,

skipping, or otherwise moving! While straight cardio might not be your cup of tea, this schema lets you break up your movement with some stationary strength work. Use those extended cardio sections to shake out your muscles; don’t push yourself too hard. These sections should be active recovery, not a sprint. Just let your body enjoy the movement and being outdoors. Use the strength components to challenge yourself.

Depending on your chosen distances or cardio component, this workout may take a little longer than some of the other schemas, but it’s worth it. This is a great workout for a sunny weekend morning! Give yourself a challenge and high five yourself when you complete it.

by Ann Foreyt Some general considerations for at-home workouts: 1. Warm up and dynamically stretch prior to starting a workout, making sure your body is adequately prepared for exercise helps reduce injury and soreness.

2. Choose movements that make sense for your body, activity level, and available equipment and space, but aim to choose movements that work multiple musclegroups and a combination of cardio and strength.

3. Get creative—safely—with your equipment. a. Plastic milk jugs filled with water, bags of kitty litter, your toddler, or a backpack filled with books can be used as weights if you don’t own a kettlebell or dumbbells b. A park bench or sturdy chair can be used to step or hop up onto 4. Write down your planned workout before you start. Grab a piece of scratch paper and jot down each movement and your chosen workout length.

5. YouTube is a great resource for finding videos of correct form for movements that you’re unsure about or want to review.

6. Respect your body’s cues! a. Give yourself rest breaks b. If a movement doesn’t feel good today, switch it out for something that better suits what your body needs

130

BOZZIMEDIA.com / APRIL 2021

Equipment Needed • Scratch paper or white board to write out your plan • A timer or a known distance to scope your cardio • Yoga mat (optional, but nice for any floor movements) The Process 1. Choose a challenging-but-doable distance or time for your cardio.

2. Design a short-but-challenging circuit of stationary strength movements. Each circuit should be five to ten minutes of work. It should challenge you, but also give you a good break between cardio bursts.

3. Alternate cardio with your circuits, either for a prescribed number of rounds OR as you work down a distance/time ladder.

Examples Movement for distance: • One-mile run/walk • [circuit 2x] • Half-mile run/walk • [circuit 2x] • Quarter-mile run/walk OR • Half-mile run/walk • [circuit 2x] • Half-mile run/walk • [circuit 2x] • Half-mile run/walk

Circuit: • 15 push-ups • 30 v-ups or sit-ups • 60 second plank • 30 kettlebell/dumbbell swings • 15 kettlebell/dumbbell deadlifts Movement for time: • Fifteen-minute run/walk • [circuit] • Ten-minute run/walk • [circuit] • Five-minute run/walk Circuit: • Ten shoulder presses • Twenty kettlebell/dumbbell swings • Thirty squats • Forty mountain climbers (total or per side) • Fifty V-ups or sit-ups Cardio-in-place: • 400 rope skips • [circuit 2x] • 300 rope skips • [circuit 2x] • 200 rope skips • [circuit 2x] • 100 rope skips Circuit: • Twenty kettlebell/dumbbell deadlifts • Twenty-per-leg step-ups • Twenty V-ups or sit-ups • Twenty floor presses

Depending on your chosen distances or cardio component, this workout may take a little longer than some of the other schemas, but it’s worth it.

Lie supine, then lift your legs and arms slightly off the floor while keeping your abs engaged into a hollow body position. Draw your chest up and pull your knees into your chest. Release and extend back into a hollow body. For an extra challenge, keep your legs straight and reach to touch your toes at the top of each rep.

Meyer Lemon Kiss Cookies

Lemons are always the best way to transition from winter to spring, and one of my personal favorite kinds of lemons is the extra sweet Meyer Lemons. These crisp, buttery cookie sandwiches are similar to Viennese whirls, but instead of the traditional buttercream and jam, I fill these kiss cookies with a perfectly tangy but sweet Meyer lemon curd, and a cream cheese frosting. To make them more festive I like to marble my cookie dough—such an easy way to upscale their look that can make people think you stopped by one of our fantastic bakeries around town.

Meyer Lemon Kiss Cookies Twelve cookies

INGREDIENTS Cookies

• 1 cup butter, softened • 1/2 cup powdered sugar • 1 1/2 cup flour • 2 tablespoons cornstarch • Yellow food dye (optional) • 1/2 teaspoon salt Meyer Lemon Curd • 1/2 cup butter, softened and cut into cubes • 1 1/4 cup sugar • 3 eggs • 1 egg yolk • 1 cup Meyer lemon juice (about four Meyer-lemons worth), freshly squeezed • 3 Meyer lemons worth of zest • 1/2 teaspoon salt Cream Cheese Frosting • 2 tablespoons butter, softened • 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened • 1 cup powdered sugar • Zest of one Meyer lemon • Pinch of salt

INSTRUCTIONS Cookies

Meyer Lemons are a hybrid of a lemon and a tangerine, the fruits are typically smaller and smoother than their other citrus cousins. They are a popular ornamental tree in their native China.

Meyer Lemons are sweeter with a more orange flavor than normal lemons. They contain more sugar and are less acidic but can be used in place of any recipe that calls for lemon. Meyer Lemons are a great addition to any sweet or savory dish, especially chicken, fish, and pork.

Their skin is so soft and sweet that you can eat them whole, candied, or preserved.

1. Sift together flour, corn starch, and salt, and set aside.

2. With the whisk attachment on your mixer, whip the butter until it is light in color—the softer and more whipped the butter is, the easier it will be to pipe later.

3. Add half of the flour mixture at a time making sure not to over mix.

4. While still in your mixing bowl, divide the dough so that you have about a third of the dough on one side. Add seven to ten drops of food coloring and mix into the smaller part of the dough.

Once the food coloring is mixed fold the colored dough into the noncolored to create a marble effect. Place the marbled dough into a large piping bag with a decorative tip (I used a round tip).

5. Pipe twenty-four two-inch circle cookies making sure they are all the

same sized so when sandwiched they match and they all cook evenly. If you don’t have a mat with a guide, you can take a round cookie cutter, dip it in flour then tap it onto your cookie sheet for a guide.

6. Bake at 375˚ for twelve minutes.

Remove from oven and fully cool before filling.

Meyer Lemon Curd This lemon curd recipe will make three cups of curd. Find more ways of using it at rosauerskitchen.com.

1. In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar, lemon juice, zest, eggs, and egg yolk and mix well with a whisk.

2. Place pan on medium heat, mixing

every thirty seconds until the mixture has thickened to a loose pudding consistency.

3. Take the pot off the heat and add a couple cubes of butter into the curd a couple of cubes, adding more once the first ones melt. Continue until all butter is combined.

4. Pour curd through a mesh strainer to ensure there are no cooked egg curdles or zest.

5. Place in the fridge until fully chilled. It should thicken up more to a pudding consistency. You can do this step a day ahead of time, or if you need it to cool, quickly pour the curd into a casserole dish so that it’s a thin layer, then place it in the fridge.

Cream Cheese Frosting 1. In a medium mixing bowl (or stand mixer bowl) add the butter and cream cheese and whip together with a hand mixer (or stand mixer) until fully combined and light in color.

2. Quickly mix in the salt and lemon zest.

3. Add powdered sugar a tablespoon at a time until fully mixed and the frosting is thick but pliable. Place in a small piping bag with a decorative tip (I used a star tip).

Assembly 1. Make pairs of similarly sized cookies.

2. Pipe a ring of cream cheese frosting around the base cookie.

3. Fill the center of the frosting ring with about a teaspoon of curd.

4. Top with the second cookie.

THE SIGNATURE brew of Roast House Coffee—F-Bomb—came by its name honestly,

The Power of the

F-BOMB 136

BOZZIMEDIA.com / APRIL 2021

regardless of how you feel about cursing.

Owner Deborah Di Bernardo was giving up sugar and chocolate, and when her team roasted the Mexican bean for this brew, its aroma wafting through the warehouse-style facility, she swore someone was tempting her. “Who’s making f***ing brownies?” she yelled.

Deb’s favorite word and her deep love for this consistently rich, chocolatey coffee sealed its fate: it would be called F-Bomb.

The name alone has been magic for Roast House. “Many people in Spokane still haven’t heard of Roast House, but they know F-Bomb,” Di Bernardo says. It sells on its own and is also a key element in half a dozen blends at the shop, including the popular Café Americas, which is a mix of F-Bomb and Rio Cocoa from Nicaragua.

But the real propeller of Roast House’s trajectory is something else entirely: A fierce commitment to sustainable coffee growing and fair trade practices.

“Staying committed to sustainable coffee is more important today than when I started, because our eyes have been opened to the threat of coffee extinction.”

That has been Deb’s mainstay since she began her passion project eleven years ago. Where other roasters label products as “ecofriendly” or sustainable because they’ve used a small amount of organic beans, Roast House’s supply is 100 percent organic.

You can bet that makes it more expensive. Her costs are forty percent higher because she pays the coffee farmers a living wage to hand-sort and hand-wash the beans—all of which are shade-grown. These practices ensure that the coffee coming to her Spokane warehouse is free of the defects present in other coffees. And because she doesn’t want to impact costs more by traveling to the coffee farms herself, she partners with trusted and certified importers—such as Sustainable Harvest from Portland—to be her eyes and ears around the world.

“Staying committed to sustainable coffee is more important today than when I started,” says Di Bernardo, “because our eyes have been opened to the threat of coffee extinction.”

Coffee extinction? Is that possible?

In the next twenty years, fifty percent of the high-end Arabicas will be gone, she says, due to the microclimate created by deforestation in countries producing coffee. The nationally and internationally known mega-producers of coffee strip the hillsides so they can produce higher

Sticker Message:

Damn Good Coffee. (Also at the bottom of their RH branded mugs.)

Notoriety:

While Roast House isn’t yet a household name in the Inland Northwest, national coffee experts have taken note of the small company from the Lilac City, offering 1st- 2nd- and 3rd-place awards among North American competitors twenty times.

quantities, but not higher quality, java. The result, says Di Bernardo, is “crap, sun-grown coffee,” and a major hazard to the physical and economic health of the developing countries whose food supply is already a precious commodity.

“The apathy toward our food sources is a real threat,” she adds, noting that pure vanilla is almost nonexistent for the same reason coffee is in danger.

Di Bernardo’s commitment to sustainable practices extends from the farming to the packaging. When she decided F-Bomb (and other seasonal selections) needed to be available in single-serve packets for camping and traveling, her team selected a Santa Cruz, California company that makes every piece of packaging from eco-friendly sources so there is no waste.

While the coffee maven doesn’t travel much, F-Bomb is her companion when she does.

with retro couches and people sipping coffee with their earbuds in and laptops open. Instead, expect a simple storefront coffee counter with the roastery in the background—and amazingly friendly team members who will help you select a brew to take home and whip up a unique drink with their homemade simple syrups. Come back another time and don’t be surprised if they’ve remembered your name and your likings.
