EDITOR LETTER

Dear reader, As Kacey Rosauer pointed out in Rosauer’s Kitchen, February is the shortest month of the year, but you wouldn’t know it by this issue, which has the stories of so many interesting Spokanites, all the regular features you’ve come to love, and so much more.

The community builder story by Riley Haun tells the story of Angelique Tomeo, who overcame great adversity to become a force for good in multiple communities. Ultimately, she was guided by the strong values instilled from her family and the Indigenous community despite struggling early on.

This is what leads Toni Lodge, CEO of the Spokane-based health clinic The NATIVE Project, to dub Angel a ‘young elder,’ and Toni’s words about who we look to for leadership have stuck with me: “There’s this old idea that to be a leader, you should have a clean slate, no mistakes on your record, but people who’ve made mistakes have a lot to offer,” Toni says in the article. “Angel won’t be shamed or silenced about where she’s been, and I think she offers a living example of what’s possible to those around her.”

This month’s maker profile, written by Jonathan Glover, is photographer Jeff Ferguson. It also tells the story of the power of a teacher; in this case, The Spokesman-Review photographer Colin Mulvaney, who I know from my time at the newspaper. To learn of Colin’s impact was unsurprising because, though he’s an award-winning photojournalist, he is as good a person as he is a photographer. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about how Jeff uses his lens as an instrument in justice.

While Kiantha Duncan’s Soulful Living column has been part of the magazine since August, I’m excited to announce a significant update: the column is printed in Spanish and will be going forward.

This is such a shining example of Kiantha’s leadership in our

12

BOZZIMEDIA.com / FEBRUARY 2022

community, and I am so grateful for the way she opens doors and hearts.

Adriana Janovich wrote a lovely profile of the sisters behind Anthesis, a floral shop with thoughtful arrangements you can even receive by subscription. I truly believe that bringing a touch of beauty into our lives can make a difference, and it’s clear they do, as well.

In honor of Black History Month, Rebecca Gonshak’s Lilac Lit column highlights a few of the pillars of Black women writers, including bell hooks, who recently passed. While it saddens me when readers find a writer’s work in their death, it is comforting the way these bright minds live on through their words, and while I echo all of Rebecca’s recommendations, I strongly urge you to pick up All About Love: New Visions. Unsurprisingly, Rebecca described the urgency of this book much better than I am capable.

“Her argument that loving someone means nurturing their spiritual growth has made a profound impact on me. If you’re feeling cynical about love, or want to learn to be a better partner, parent, citizen, or simply a more open-hearted person, read this book and be transformed,” Rebecca writes.

Be transformed. I think I’ll leave you with that. As always, I’d love to hear from you. Feel free to send snail mail to 157 S. Howard, Suite 603, Spokane, WA 99201, or the fast version to meganr@ bozzimedia.com.

With love, Megan Louise

er wedding flowers were classic and timeless: white garden and blush roses.

The bride and her sister made the bouquets themselves and so thoroughly enjoyed the process that they began talking about establishing their own floral business.

“We started playing around with textures, structures, scents, and colors. It was a creative outlet for us,” says Galina “Lina” Ulyanchuk, who got married in 2017.

A year later, the sisters arranged flowers for a friend’s wedding and were officially hooked. At the time, Lina and her sister, Viktoriya “Vik” Kukharskaya, were both working at the same graphic design firm. They figured they could keep their Mondaythrough-Friday jobs and do flowers on weekends, working out of their parents’ basement.

Within a year, their business outgrew the basement. And it outgrew its next location—a seven-hundred-square-foot downtown space—before the lease was up. By then, the sisters were doing flowers full-time.

Today, Anthesis Co. is in full bloom. The contemporary Spokane floral studio, which moved into a 4,500-square-foot space on East Trent Avenue last June, specializes in streamlined yet customized online ordering and elegant artistry with a modern sensibility.

The sisters see their company as a web-based flower shop and art studio. “We didn’t want to be a traditional florist,” Vik says.

“Our website is our storefront,” Lina says.

Most clients find Anthesis through its website, as well as social media and word of mouth.

Lina oversees the operations, website, and social media. Vik handles flower design. They work together on marketing and branding.

“For us, it’s more than just flowers,” Vik says. “It’s connecting to people and helping them channel their emotions. People trust us to convey their feelings. Sometimes, when you don’t have the words, flowers say everything you need to say.”

Born a year apart, Lina, twenty-nine, and Vik, twenty-eight, are best friends as well as sisters and business partners. “It’s very rare that people see one of us, not both of us. We spent lot of time together,” Vik says.

Lina was born in Ukraine and came to America at three months old. Vik was born in Sacramento, where the sisters lived with their parents before the family moved to Spokane in 2006. Lina graduated from Mt. Spokane High School in 2010. Vik followed in 2011.

Both studied graphic design at Eastern Washington University, graduating together in 2017. Following the two weddings and an inspiring monthlong family trip to Ukraine in 2018, the sisters decided to pursue flowers full-time.

The career change isn’t as big of a leap as it might seem. “It’s still design,” Lina says. “It’s still texture and colors. We took the designer mindset and applied it to flowers. With flowers,” she says, “we can be more creative.”

Founded in fall 2018, Anthesis takes its name from the period in which a flower is fully unfolded and functional, the height of its beauty. “Anthesis means blooming,” Vik says. “It’s when the flower is at its most fullest bloom. It’s almost at its apex.”

And that’s when Anthesis aims to get customers their blooms. “We do our best to make sure you are getting the best of what is flowering at the moment,” Vik says. “I’m obsessed with making sure that everything is perfect. You feel it when you see a flower at its optimal time. It is amazing.”

Anthesis offers three base sizes of bouquets: petite, standard, and lavish. Customers order online, noting the occasion and special characteristics. But they leave the details to Vik. For example, she says, “To convey sympathy, we might go with white roses for a sense of calm and tranquility. For a job promotion, we would want to create something with more color and a different kind of energy.”

Most arrangements feature a signature twig: a sprig of curly willow. The wispy branches add whimsy and dimension to arrangements.

“We put roses in everything. We love ranunculus. And we love living in Washington and Spokane specifically because we have access to the best dahlias in the country. I refuse to believe anyone has better dahlias than we do in Spokane,” Vik says.

Along with lisianthus, hydrangeas, viburnum, and mums, she says, “those are kind of our bases.”

They don’t use vases. Anthesis arrangements come in vessels such as hatboxes, tote bags, or “pots you could use to plant something in later,” Vik says. At Anthesis, she says, “We try to do things differently.”

When they were first starting out, the self-taught florists used “whatever we could get our hands on,” Lina says. “We didn’t have as much insight into the floral industry as we do now. We would just pick stuff because we liked it. We didn’t know the purpose or the way it was traditionally used. Over time, you learn those things. You learn which flowers you prefer to work with.”

Today, Anthesis sources flowers from wholesalers as well as local flower growers, particularly in summer.

“I don’t have a favorite,” Lina says. “To me, it’s seasonally changing. Peonies during May. Dahlias in late summer.”

Vik particularly enjoys Icelandic poppies. When she was learning flower arrangement, she says, “I just did what felt right.

I used composition and color theory, and trusted my gut. I took everything I knew from design and transferred it to flowers and people.”

The style she came up with is “a modern take on arrangements," Vik explains. "It’s very sharp. It’s very structural.

There are a lot of straight lines.”

To that end, Lina says, “We try to avoid a lot of filler flowers.”

Mother’s Day is their busiest time, followed by Valentine’s Day and wedding season. Weddings make up about half of their business. Anthesis also offers subscriptions for weekly, twice a month, and monthly deliveries.

Delivery is contactless. And, in some ways, the persisting COVID-19 pandemic helped their business. “I think that COVID taught people how to shop online,” Lina says. “It taught people FEBRUARY 2022 / BOZZIMEDIA.com

17

FIRST LOOK/anthesis co.

how to shop our website. It clicked in people’s heads: this makes total sense.”

While some couples postponed weddings, others opted for small family affairs or virtual ceremonies. Last summer, Vik says, “’we did a lot of elopements. We had a Zoom bride who got married at Bowl and Pitcher (in Riverside State Park), and it was just her and the groom and the person marrying them and flowers and iPads.”

For flowers for events, such as weddings, Vik consults with clients via email, phone, or Zoom. Pandemic-permitting, they might also opt to meet in-person at the new studio, nearly seven times the size of their last location.

It’s not just the two sisters anymore, either. They’ve expanded personnel, too, hiring two floral designers and another two to three delivery drivers, depending on need. Lina’s husband, David, sometimes helps, too.

“I don’t know how a traditional flower shop works because I’ve never worked in one,” Vik says. “We’re kind of carving our own path.”

As the head florist, she says, “Everything goes through my hands. I love the opportunity to create something beautiful with my hands. These pieces really are an extension of my hands, an extension of myself. I am so deeply connected to them.”

The fact that they are fleeting makes them even more meaningful. “I love the fact that flowers die,” Vik says. “That’s my favorite part. The fact that the flower is not going to last forever gives you the opportunity to enjoy its beauty while it lasts.

That’s a life lesson, too. You have to enjoy the moment.”

by DEAN CAMERON LILACS to people coming together to support each other during these historic times, whether it be grassroots efforts to help small businesses such as Spokane Quaranteam, other community support programs, or the individual efforts to help not only businesses but also each other in times of need. Spokane has always had the ‘What can we do to help?’ personality. That is why, all my travels, I still prefer to live here.

LILACS to finally being able to meet in person. COVID-19 is serious for sure, but I think the omicron strain is less impactful; with caution, people can be social and enjoy human interaction. I for one have had enough of my basement office and am enjoying a downtown office. Seeing smiling faces again makes for a much brighter day.

LILACS to the development and eventual construction of the Spokane Valley Performing Arts Center. What this will do for our area is immeasurable: high-quality performances and an eventual destination in the Spokane Valley, with top-notch facilities designed not only to support the scheduled performances but also host other contracted events.

Dean Cameron is the CEO of Top Drawer Media and a lifelong Spokane/Spokane Valley resident. Dean has a thirty-year background in manufacturing for numerous industries and has leveraged that background to become the publisher of Northwest Aerospace News and Art Chowder magazines.

Dean enjoys family, flyfishing, and meeting people.

LEMONS to traffic growing pains. As our community expands due to Amazon and other larger industries moving both west and east, I-90 has become a bit of a Seattle wannabe at certain times of day. This, along with the race-car mentality of many, has filled my newsfeed with the Spokane News app mentioning every accident, extrication, and death on our roads. Slow down, people!

LEMONS to our homeless situation, which seems to be getting worse. Too many people are stuck in a revolving system rather than receiving help transitioning into a sustainable and productive life.

This is a complex issue and not all people need the same support— some just need a boost. Tent cities are not the answer, nor is free everything. Finding work, affordable living, and a support system that helps with barriers would be a great way to help those who want a way out.

LEMONS to city council politics in both Spokane and Spokane Valley. The war between the moderates and hard-core conservatives leaves citizens in the middle, which is frustrating to say the least.

Politics today seem like, “If they are for it, we are against it” instead of, “Is this the best option for our constituents?” Political chess is the game of the day, and we are the pawns, sacrificed first.

he photo is striking. It shows a young boy, sitting solemnly on the ground. In his mouth, the hand of another, larger boy. He wants the banana that’s inside and he’s taking it. No questions asked, no answers needed.

On the smaller child’s face is a look of acceptance. World-weary tolerance only found in the harshest corners of the world. Angles of black and shadow illuminated most often by muckrakers.

Newshounds. Reporters. And of course, the flash of a camera beside them.

Without that mechanism of steel and glass and precise craftsmanship, thousands of words would be lost. Like the ones that could be used to explain the snapshot. It was taken at a Suta Dragodana orphanage in Romania in the late summer of 1996. Thirteen years later, instructor and Spokesman-Review photojournalist Colin Mulvaney showed it to fledgling photographer and Spokane Tribal member Jeff Ferguson during a Spokane Falls Community College class.

Colin was responsible for the photo, and Jeff remembers the raw emotion. The indescribable exactitude. The point in

time. The catharsis.

“The impact he made with that camera really stuck,” Jeff says as he nestles a hot coffee at The Shop in South Perry. “[Colin] said if you see injustice and you have a camera, and you don’t use it, that’s wrong. And that really stuck with me.”

For those who know him, that might as well be tattooed on Jeff ’s forehead.

Because for the last thirteen years, it’s about as close to a mantra as you can get.

Since graduating SFCC, Jeff went on to study communications at Whitworth University. Around the same time, he was starting his photojournalism

career, showing injustice with a camera, especially as experienced by tribal members.

One of the first highimpact stories he produced almost didn’t happen—a scathing takedown of the Society of Jesus Oregon Province, a Jesuit order at St. Mary’s Mission near Omak, Washington. About seventy Native American clients alleged sexual abuse at the hands of Jesuit brothers, priests, and volunteers. The story, which covered the lawsuit and the decades of abuse of the young children, was first published in Out There Outdoors, a monthly magazine in Spokane.

From there, Jeff told more stories exposing injustice.

getting the short end of the stick. Around the same time of his exposé on the Jesuits, Jeff filmed a documentary about the “Midnite Mine” on the Spokane Indian Reservation, an openpit mine with exposed radioactive ore. And last year, he created an overview of the water standards of the Spokane River, and what led the Spokane Tribe to enact EPA water quality standards on the historic waterway.

But that’s just one side of the man. In addition to holding truth to power, Jeff is an accomplished studio, travel, and commercial photographer.

He’s taken food photos for local alt-weeklies, often shoots major events like Bloomsday and Hoopfest—

one photo was featured on national news.

When he travels, he never forgets his camera, snapping point-in-time photos in China and Costa Rica. In 2016, he visited the Standing Rock Indian Reservation to attend the Dakota Access Pipeline protests, along the way taking hundreds of photos and recording dozens of interviews with attendees.

“A lot of that stuff doesn’t pay much,” Jeff says. “But it’s worth it. It’s who I am.”

On his website, you can find the tender moments, and the process for trade. He does wedding photos. Wedding videos.

Commercial work. He’ll take a photo of an

26

BOZZIMEDIA.com / FEBRUARY 2022

office for a website or a product launching next month. Each frame, immaculate. Each pixel, perfect.

The skill on display is a culmination of effort, layered on top of determination and goodwill. It was never the plan, but plans change. Before attending school in Spokane, Jeff lived in Colorado Springs selling auctioned merchandise on the internet. But when his mom got sick, he packed his bags and moved home.

It was then—well into his thirties in 2008—that a photo class at SFCC changed his trajectory. Now, on weekends and when he has free time, he, and his fiancé Margo

Hill—also a Spokane Tribal member, an accomplished attorney, and an Eastern Washington University professor—travel to area tribal schools to teach kids about photography.

No matter the occasion, Margo says Jeff is focused.

“Part of what Jeff does is he shows kids life outside the reservation,” Margo says.

“It’s just amazing. There’s a big, big world out there.”

A world worth showing, whether that’s through perfect studio lighting or out in the muck, up close and personal.

Colin says he remembers the letter he

received from his former student about five years ago—Jeff wrote to thank him for his influence.

“But he also said he wished he would have listened to me even more,” Colin says.

“I think a lot of students do that. They don’t understand what I’m trying to say about finding your passion and then running with it. They’re afraid to embrace it and run with it.”

But not Jeff; everyone agrees there. That passion is alive, in every frame.

“This is something I never expected to do,” Jeff says. “Not in a million years. It really puts me out there.”

In 2016, he visited the Standing Rock Indian Reservation to attend the Dakota Access Pipeline protests, along the way taking hundreds of photos and recording dozens of interviews with attendees. photo by Jonathan Glover

Plow the Sidewalks

Late in December, after the temperatures moderated from their Antarctic lows, I took a walk during my lunch to grab coffee a few blocks down the street. While it had snowed about a week ago, and our local street hadn’t yet been plowed, I wasn’t too worried.

Then I got out to the arterial street.

I hadn’t remembered that when the plows go by on the street, they often push a messy pile of snow chunks onto the sidewalk. The chunks had melted slightly, refrozen, and were a complete pain to walk through. Fortunately, I only had a few hundred feet of trudging through the berm to the next property, where the resident had (mercifully) plowed the berm out. I got my coffee and was on my way.

Unfortunately, despite our region’s winter weather, this situation is quite common. Clearing of sidewalks is the responsibility of the adjacent property owner, and typically a thirtysix-inch path must be cleared by 9 a.m. after a snowfall. Nearby ADA ramps (typically at intersections) must also be cleared, and interestingly, a pedestrian path must even be cleared if no sidewalk exists.

Predictably, this practice has inequitable and unjust effects.

First, many residents, like seniors and those with disabilities, can’t maintain their own 28

sidewalks. The city––conveniently––directs them to volunteer and even (!) paid snow removal services.

Second, the practice prioritizes drivers over pedestrians, transit users, and bicyclists. Particularly in the winter, these street users are often lower-income, likelier to be people of color, and likelier not to have access to a car. What does this say about who our community chooses to serve?

Third and finally, by passing sidewalk snow removal off onto property owners, the city privatizes a shared city asset.

Sidewalks are part of the public right-ofway, which means that they should be the city’s responsibility to clear. This would also eliminate the problem of inconsistent snow clearing which makes the wintertime pedestrian experience so miserable.

Many cities already do this.

Bloomington, Minnesota (population: 86,000) and Toronto, Ontario (population: three million) are among the most notable examples, since they attempt to clear not only all of their streets, but also all of their sidewalks, crosswalks, and multi-use trails, and most of their bike lanes. These two cities also receive the same amount of snow each year as Spokane—about fifty inches.

Other cities don’t go quite as far as Bloomington or Toronto but make much more of an effort than Spokane. Duluth, Minnesota clears about one hundred miles of “priority sidewalks”—usually routes to schools and public transit stops. Syracuse, New York started a pilot a few years ago to clear twenty miles. Even here in Spokane, we have experience clearing pedestrian routes. Many routes are plowed through Riverfront Park, including the Centennial Trail from Gonzaga to Kendall Yards. And the Downtown Spokane Partnership clears common areas and crosswalks downtown.

A four-season city demands four-season services to serve all street users. We can start with a pilot project on limited routes, but for the health of our city and to prioritize equity, it’s time to start plowing our sidewalks.

Activist ANGEL TOMEO Draws on Life Experience to Support Her Communities

by RILEY HAUN photography by SHYBEAST LLC

S

he didn’t know it back then, but Angelique Tomeo Sam has been an activist her entire life.

Some of her earliest memories are of courthouses.

As a tiny child, Angelique, or Angel, as everyone calls her, remembers being in a packed crowd outside Spokane’s federal courthouse, gathered to fight for the right to build casinos on reservations—in other words, for a symbol of Indigenous sovereignty. She recalls another courthouse, this time Spokane County’s, trailing behind her mother to meetings and protests as a family friend and fellow member of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, Yvonne Swan Wanrow, faced prosecution for murder. Wanrow had shot a white man who broke into her home and threatened harm against her children. Even back then, Angel remembers feeling a sharp sense of injustice as she watched how the legal system treated an Indigenous woman.

Part of the reason for Angel’s presence at so many historic legal turning points for Spokane’s Indigenous community was purely

practical. Her mother was raising twelve children on her own, and Angel, the eleventh, often had to tag along simply for lack of a babysitter. But these moments, and her mother’s guidance, instilled in her a deep desire to fight for her community and a powerful knowledge of right and wrong.

“Being an Indigenous woman, it is kind of my responsibility,” Angel says. “We come from societies that are matriarchal, where we’re the healers, we’re the creators, we’re the teachers and the center of families and community, and those teachings are also an extension of the work that I do now.”

After surviving addiction, homelessness, domestic abuse, and incarceration, Angel is now a driving force behind some of Spokane’s most ambitious and progressive justice initiatives. Her lived experiences help her relate on a personal level with others enduring the same hardships, a connection she believes is crucial to rehabilitation and recovery.

As a teenager, Angel says she fell into a “street culture,” far removed from what her family and traditions taught her was

We come from societies that are matriarchal, where we’re the healers, we’re the creators, we’re the teachers and the center of families and community, and those teachings are also an extension of the work that I do now.

There’s this old idea that to be a leader, you should have a clean slate, no mistakes on your record, but people who’ve made mistakes have a lot to offer. Angel won’t be shamed or silenced about where she’s been, and I think she offers a living example of what’s possible to those around her. right and began selling drugs to support herself and her family. She found herself battling addiction and poverty as she became a mother, eventually having to flee abuse at the hands of her children’s father. She was often homeless alongside her children, and at one point was locked in a custody battle and separated from her kids for over two years. Throughout this dark period in her life, she was in and out of jail in Spokane County, held on unaffordable bail, and scrambling for survival in facilities packed to twice their capacity.

It was because of this brutal cycle, though, that Angel eventually found her calling as a peer advocate and activist. Once she was out of jail and on the road to recovery, she found stability and support through community services and mentors that catered to people like her from a perspective of having been in her place. Eventually, Angel found work as a peer Spokane advocate at a treatment center for families impacted by has always addiction and separation. There, she began to realize been a that she wasn’t the only one who had been through gathering place what she had, and she saw firsthand the power of peer and a healing support in turning lives around. place for Indians, “(My mentors) helped open my eyes to the intersectionality of all of these systems, the child and I want it to stay welfare system, family court, and how BIPOC usually that way got the short end of the stick,” Angel says. “And then I saw a lot of parents involved with the system also had ongoing criminal legal issues, or were still battling addiction, and I began to see even more intersections that needed addressing.”

Through her peer work, Angel became involved in community activism, a path which led her to become one of the founding members of Spokane’s branch of The Bail Project. The national organization works to create an alternative to the existing cash bail system, which they say disproportionately targets BIPOC and poor folks. Angel would identify pretrial inmates who couldn’t pay their bail. In many cases, the project would pay it for them, then Angel would work to help clients find housing, transportation, and employment in the meantime, as well as holding them accountable to court dates and orders.

“We all know that if you have money and resources, justice tends to sway your way,” Angel

says. “In these cases, the folks I saw had no access to any of that. But Spokane has this robust system of services and community resources if you know where to look, and by helping them get connected, we saw such improved outcomes with their legal problems. If you can show you’ve got people looking out for you, everything changes.”

Toni Lodge, CEO of the Spokane-based health clinic The NATIVE Project, first got to know Angel when she was just a budding activist, as a teen involved in the clinic’s Indian Youth Leadership Program.

Even then, Toni could see Angel was on a mission.

“We were teaching Native kids to become warriors, nurturers, scholars and community activists. And even as a kid, Angel took that real serious,” Toni says.

“She was clearly very intelligent, very inquisitive and energetic, and she jumped right into the leadership program and said, ‘This is what I want to do for my community.’ ” Toni has watched Angel grow into the leader she is today—not despite the detours her life took, but because of them. She’s seen how the community Angel serves relates to her life’s story, and how Angel thinks and acts in concrete terms, rather than abstract promises.

“She’s become a young elder,” Toni says.

“There’s this old idea that to be a leader, you should have a clean slate, no mistakes on your record, but people who’ve made

mistakes have a lot to offer. Angel won’t be shamed or silenced about where she’s been, and I think she offers a living example of what’s possible to those around her.”

Angel left The Bail Project last year, but she hasn’t stopped working to enact change in the justice system and beyond. She’s now working with a group of veteran activists and social workers to establish a bail fund and resource network of Spokane’s own called Peer Reentry Navigation, one that can connect to the community it serves in a way that’s unique to the city and the experiences of those who run it.

Angel was also a key organizer for the citywide racial justice protests in the wake of George Floyd’s 2020 death, which planted seeds for renewed support for causes long championed by Spokane’s Indigenous community. In celebration of one of those victories, the renaming of Ft. George Wright Drive to Whistalks Way, Angel was named a Woman Warrior by a group of organizations, including the Native American Alliance for Policy and Action and the Spokane Tribe.

Following the matriarchal traditions she grew up with, Angel is now one of a group of Indigenous women working to establish a shelter and support network for vulnerable Indigenous folks. She hopes someday to have a brick-and-mortar shelter as a center of operations, but in the meantime, the group helps connect people with services when needed and to elders who can help facilitate traditional ways of healing. In honor of the Spokane tribal land it operates on, the project has an Interior Salish name—Yoyot Sp’q’n’i, or Strong Spokane.

“Spokane has always been a gathering place and a healing place for Indians, and I want it to stay that way,” Angel says. “I always tell the story of how the different tribes from the region would come here in the fall. Imagine tens of thousands of people here in camps, all along the river and fishing. They would take all of the fish at the end of the day and pool them, these mountains of fish, and then divvy up so that everybody could take a bounty back home to their tribes. I think that really speaks volumes to what the spirit of this area is and what we’ve gone so far away from, and we just need to come back.”

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

oni Morrison said in her 1979 commencement speech at Barnard College that “the function of freedom is to free someone else.” She practiced this as an editor at Random House, where she used her power to publish previously unknown writers of color, particularly women writers. One of these writers was Gayl Jones, at the time a young unknown writer who wrote viscerally about the generational trauma of slavery and its impact on relationships between Black men and women.

Meanwhile, the writer and scholar bell hooks used her influence on the page and in the classroom to empower young Black people and change the culture. hooks is known as one of the founders of intersectional feminism, although she didn’t use that term. She often referred to the “white supremacist imperialist patriarchy” in her work, asserting that these systems of power were always linked and could not be separated.

For Black History Month, I want to honor these three Black women writers who have left an indelible mark on American culture and on my own mind and heart.

Sula by Toni Morrison

When Sula returns as a young woman to the insular African American community where she grew up, a “plague of robins” accompanies her arrival. A plague of robins! Who could make a bunch of robins seem ominous except for Toni Morrison and maybe David Lynch?

Sula is thought by the town to be evil because she sleeps with married men and generally does whatever she wants. She acts—they accuse—like a man. The most compelling relationship in the book is between Sula and Nel, her childhood best friend, whose husband Sula steals without remorse.

Sula is an immoral, or maybe amoral, character, but you get the sense that she may have some wisdom that the other characters don’t. And that other characters may be hiding a cruelty within themselves that they need Sula’s more obvious sins to obscure.

Toward the end of the novel, Sula asks Nel how she knows that Nel was the good one. When Nel asks what she means by that, Sula replies, “I mean maybe it wasn’t you. Maybe it was me.”

All About Love: New Visions by bell hooks

You can often find this book in the Love and Relationships section of bookstores, but it’s much more than a relationship self-help book. All About Love is a spiritual, political, and philosophical exploration of what it means to love. Love is often treated as a frivolous subject in American society, but as bell hooks writes, loving other beings and ourselves is the most important work we do on this earth, and so many of us have forgotten how to do it. hooks argues that “Love and abuse cannot coexist.” That we cannot abuse someone and claim to love them. The definition of love she uses is borrowed from M. Scott Peck, who defines it as “the will to extend oneself for the purpose of nurturing one’s own or another’s spiritual growth.” Her argument that loving someone means nurturing their spiritual growth has made a profound impact on me. If you’re feeling cynical about love, or want to learn to be a better partner, parent, citizen, or simply a more openhearted person, read this book and be transformed.

Corregidora by Gayl Jones

The narrator of Corregidora is a blues singer named Ursa living in Kentucky in the late 1940s. At the beginning of the novel, she is pushed down the stairs by her husband, Mutt, because she refuses to stop singing professionally now that they are married. As a result of her injuries, Ursa loses the child she was carrying and must have her womb removed, ending her ability to “make generations” as her grandmother and great-grandmother had always instructed her to do.

She comes from multiple generations of women all traumatized by the same man: Corregidora, a Portuguese slaveholder who raped both her grandmother and greatgrandmother.

Great Gram says, “They burned all the documents, Ursa, but they didn’t burn what they put in their minds. We got to burn out what they put in our minds, like you burn out a wound. Except we got to keep what we need to bear witness.”

This is why she wants Ursa to make generations: to pass on the history so it can’t be erased.

It’s a painful read and a powerful one. Corregidora has been called a blues novel, and it does remind me of a blues song.

Ursa’s friend Cat tells her that her singing voice has become even more moving since her injury. “Before it was beautiful too, but you sound like you been through more now,” Cat says.

The novel has the same feeling. It has the voice of someone who has been through hell and lived to tell about it.

passing through birds

by DANIELLE WEEKS On the phone, my mother tells me her mother died in the night—night as a place, a private dark room that my sleepless mother couldn’t leave for hours.

She calls me three time zones away. My morning has just invited the hummingbirds’ buzz, the jays’ harsh kyrie. Have mercy on us for what we need in this hour, whether we stay through the winter or follow the day to its vanishing. We call dying passing for a reason. My grandmother prepared her funeral arrangements, pressed a set of clean clothes, and later the lamp-eyed creatures stilled as something passed through the air like an owl in flight. My mother and I sometimes talk in birds: sharing how early the robins brave spring, curling their thin toes around ice-sleeved branches. How can they bear it? Or we talk about the year a wild turkey landed on her roof, stood sentinel, worried the late spring with her call. Time to give something of herself away to life, to the long line. A mother looks after others before herself. I ask my mother what she will do for herself today, in this pause between seasons, before the funeral and cleaning the old house, shelves of yellowed paper and dust.

She says she might sleep through the morning, late enough for the day to warm. There, the cardinals have come, wearing the bright red my grandmother loved. She might spend time watching them feed, curling her toes into the earth as it turns and turns.

Danielle Weeks received her MFA in poetry through Eastern Washington University’s creative writing program. Her poetry has been published or is forthcoming in The Boiler Journal, Cimarron Review, The Gettysburg Review, Redivider, and Salt Hill, among others.

THE SCENE/soulful living

Soulful LIVING Go Easy

MUSIC has always been respected as a universal language. There are songs that speak to our hearts, songs that somehow tell our stories although we have never met the composer or the artist performing the song. Looking back over my life, there have been songs that spoke to me on a deeper level, a soul level.

While there are far too many to name, take a moment and think about the songs that have touched you or ignited feelings of joy, pain, and understanding. For many believers, this experience happens when listening to Gospel or Christian music. Listening to melodies and lyrics about the love God has for you can lift you from a low place and offer just enough hope to help you make it through another day.

For some this feeling is experienced through listening to classical music in which the rich tones from the orchestra carry us away from our realities. I’ve heard from many musicians that this euphoric feeling of connectedness is experienced through the strum of a guitar or even the ringing of a cymbal.

For me, this soul connection happens when a songwriter can send what feels like an encrypted message, giving me permission to just be or confirmation of a feeling I am experiencing. Soulful living is a gathering of Soulful living is moments in which we can connect to our deepest a gathering of selves and music is often woven throughout those moments. moments in which we photo by Erin Peterson There are times when it is a whole song and can connect to our other times when it is just a stanza of a song or deepest selves and four words in the hook and knew that it was more a hook.

Vida CONMOVEDORA Te n Pa c i e n c i a C o n m i g o

LA MÚSICA siempre ha sido respetada como un idioma

universal. Hay canciones que nos hablan al corazón, canciones que de alguna manera cuentan nuestras historias, aunque nunca hayamos conocido al compositor o al artista que interpreta la canción. Mirando hacía atrás en mi vida, ha habido canciones que me hablaron en un nivel más profundo, al nivel del alma.

Aunque existen demasiadas como para nombrarlas, tómate un momento y piensa en las canciones que te han conmovido o que te han despertado sentimientos de alegría, dolor y comprensión.

Para muchos creyentes, esta experiencia ocurre al escuchar música góspel o cristiana. Escuchar melodías y letras sobre el amor que Dios tiene por ti puede levantarte de un lugar bajo y ofrecerte la esperanza suficiente para ayudarte a superar otro día.

Para algunos, este sentimiento se presenta al escuchar música clásica en la que los ricos tonos de la orquesta nos alejan de nuestras realidades. He oído de muchos músicos que este sentimiento eufórico de conexión se experimenta a través del rasgueo de una guitarra o incluso a través del sonido de un címbalo.

Para mí, esta conexión entre el alma y la música ocurre cuando el compositor puede transmitir lo que parece ser un mensaje cifrado que nos deja conectarnos y experimentar lo que sentimos en nuestras vidas. La vida conmovedora es esencialmente una colección de momentos en los que podemos conectarnos con nosotros mismos en un nivel más profundo y la música a menudo se entorna con esos momentos.

Hay momentos en que lo que nos mueve es una canción completa y en otros momentos es solo una estrofa o un coro.

Hay algo acerca de las palabras que toca mi espíritu y me ayuda a entender el mundo en el que vivimos un poco mejor.

Es sólo el segundo mes de 2022 y con tantas cosas sucediendo a nuestro alrededor es fácil sentirse abrumado y derrotado. Los cambios recientes en la pandemia de Covid, la variante ómicron, las noticias y las conversaciones sobre la guerra que se avecina en el extranjero son suficientes para causar ansiedad. Por eso es importante buscar formas de conectarse con la parte más profunda y segura de nosotros, nuestra alma.

Recientemente, escuché una canción que se ha convertido en mi canción favorita de la artista Adele, quien ha ganado varios premios Grammy, cuando escuché las primeras cuatro palabras del estribillo supe que era más que una canción sobre el amor perdido y errores cometidos. Estas palabras son instrucciones para vivir con gracia mientras nos encontramos entre momentos difíciles donde existe mucha incertidumbre. El melodrama que existe en las palabras “Ten paciencia conmigo,” es lo que nuestra alma nos pide que hagamos por nosotros mismos. Hay esperanza, pero, sin embargo, sentimos que nos ahogamos y, debido a esto, debemos ser benevolentes con nosotros mismos a medida que avanzamos con alma en este nuevo año.

Sinceramente tuya, Kiantha

L ov e r o F e c Making Spa

ove is in the air: love for our partners, love for our families, and love for the space where we spend the most time. I have been reorganizing my house because when my house is out of order, it causes me to feel anxious.

So, I went through our office paperwork and destroyed a bunch and refiled all the pertinent documents. Then, I got out my label maker and busily made labels for my file boxes to ensure easy identification. You don’t have to spend a fortune to take back your house from the clutter.

All this organizing made me fall back in love with our office.

I even moved a leather club chair and ottoman into the room so that I could sit and work while my husband was working as well.

There is a large window, and the light is spectacular. The overall vibe is more masculine in this room. In it hangs his framed Kiss poster, a gift from our oldest son. Father and son said it was the best concert ever; what a great memory. An antique WWII gun his grandpa brought back from Asia (non-operational) and loads of family photos also adorn the walls. You don’t need to spend a fortune on artwork; just surround yourself with things you love and that have meaning to you.

After almost thirty-three years of marriage, I have a different perspective on romance than when we were first married. I feel like reorganizing this office and making it a place where we both want to spend time together is an act of service. “Acts of service” is one of the love languages from the book The 5 Languages of Love. Use your imagination when deciding what to do, make, or buy for that special someone and, hopefully, it makes you both happier and more at ease.

At our house, we will begin our Valentine’s Day with a large homemade cappuccino in a big mug and serve it with love and then probably go work in the office together. Cheers!

oon Lake has been a favorite place for Kelli and Jason Johnson for many years now—it’s close to town, at just thirty minutes from Wandermere. It’s big enough to enjoy their favorite water sports and lake activities, but not too big. And it’s accessible enough to commute in for a day rather than making a longer stay of it if you choose.

The couple owned a Loon Lake cabin for years, but between their adult daughter’s family (including young twin grandsons) and their extended families, they were outgrowing the space. They had admired another property on the lake with a larger residence, and fortuitously it eventually became theirs.

“We had fallen in love with the house from the outside,” says Kelli, “and then when it went on the market we were lucky enough to be able to buy it.”

The home was originally built by someone who was familiar enough with lake life to come up with the perfect layout. The main floor has the kitchen, dining, and living room spaces, with large, water-facing windows and a double-sided fireplace that extends all the way to the second story. There are two lake-facing bedrooms, including the primary suite, that open to the backyard via sliders. There is also a full laundry room with space for a second refrigerator for overflow. The second downstairs bathroom also has an exterior door that makes it easily accessible from outside, without tracking sand and water through the house. Upstairs are two more lakefacing bedrooms that open onto a large balcony, a game room with a wet bar, and a back room with a couple of futons and space to sleep extra guests.

Though the layout worked just as well for the Johnsons as it did for the previous owners, the décor was in need of significant updates.

“Everything was pretty dark inside,” Kelli says. “We wanted to brighten it up and update it to this century.” Their goals were that the space would feel homey and soft and comfortable—updated, but not too cold or modern.

They immediately knew they wanted to work with Wendy Nolan of 509 Designs, having partnered with her previously on their downtown

“We wanted to introduce a lot of texture that supported the woodwork in the space, without competing with it,” says Wendy. That impetus led to the use of materials like leathered granite and patterned backsplashes. Using lighter colors, like mid-tone gray cabinets, keeps the spaces from feeling weighted down without being unwelcomingly stark. And “black cabinet hardware, plumbing, and lighting add some drama to the space,” she adds.

Trends in Tile and Stone

by MEGAN ROWE

One of the fastest growing trends in

stonework is the resurgence of one of the most decadent options on the market: marble.

Though it fell out of favor for nearly two decades, marble is making a comeback, says Joey Marcella, Mario and Son owner.

In the past, marble’s high maintenance reputation caused hesitance, but much of that notoriety is undeserved, and it’s never been easier to care for and cherish for years to come. While marble fireplaces have been a constant, Joey has seen an uptick of marble countertops for the past two years.

“People are becoming more educated about using natural stone, so a lot of the reservations they might have had are not that big of a challenge anymore,” Joey says.

Marble is essentially calcium carbonate, and while it’s true enough that anything acidic is a natural enemy to polished marble, causing its surface to dull, there are easy ways to mitigate this effect, such as resurfacing the stone to a matte surface, something Mario and Son will happily do.

While there are so many wonderful options for countertops, there is a certain allure and prestige with marble.

“When you have Italian marble in your home, you have bragging rights and it’s a conversation piece,” Joey says, adding that he loves telling customers the origin story of the marble. “It’s more than just a countertop—the countertop itself has a story to tell.”

There has also been a transition from the dramatic to a more natural and organiclooking stone, says Justin Hudson, Director of Purchasing for Great Floors.

“I used to see these big, broad, striking banded veins to replicate stone in tile and on slab as well,” Justin says.

“They were really broad, spacious, dramatic veining movements.

But that veining movement now I’d say has gotten to be more mediumto-fine and delicate veins.”

Another pattern he’s seeing in tiles is that there has been a transition from bright white tiles to a warmer, more natural white.

A trend that isn’t going anywhere? Large format on tile, Justin says. If anything, it’s only getting bigger.

“We’re still seeing quite a bit of subway tile being used but the subway tile has grown as well,” Justin says. “We’re seeing a lot more of an elongated brick shape.”

arble mCARE

TIPS

• Marble is porous.

An application of impregnating sealer will greatly reduce the chance of staining.

• Clean up spills immediately and avoid direct exposure to acidic substances like wine, citrus, tomato, etc.

• Avoid abrasive cleaners and scouring pads.

• Use trivets and cutting boards when setting pans and cutting on your countertops to avoid scratches.

• Clean with a small amount of pH-neutral soap and hot water.

• Repairs can be a DIY project but seek the advice of a reputable fabricator first.

T

his list is excerpted from the 2022 topDentists™ list, a database which includes listings for more than 120 dentists and specialists in the Spokane and Coeur d’Alene areas. The list is based on thousands of detailed evaluations of dentists and professionals by their peers. The complete database is available at usatopdentists.com. For more information call (706) 364-0853; write P.O. Box 970, Augusta, GA 30903; email info@usatopdentists.com or visit usatopdentists.com.

Selection Process

“If you had a patient in need of a dentist, which dentist would you refer them to?”

This is the question we’ve asked thousands of dentists to help us determine who the topDentists should be. Dentists and specialists are asked to take into consideration years of experience, continuing education, manner with patients, use of new techniques and technologies, and of course physical results.

The nomination pool of dentists consists of dentists listed online with the American Dental Association, as well as dentists listed online with their local dental societies, thus allowing virtually every dentist the opportunity to participate. Dentists are also given the opportunity to nominate other dentists that they feel should be included in our list. Respondents are asked to put aside any personal bias or political motivations and to use only their knowledge of their peer’s work when evaluating the other nominees.

Voters are asked to individually evaluate the practitioners on their ballot whose work they are familiar with. Once the balloting is completed, the scores are compiled and then averaged. The numerical average required for inclusion varies depending on the average for all the nominees within the specialty and the geographic area. Borderline cases are given a careful consideration by the editors. Once the decisions have been finalized, the included dentists are checked against state dental boards for disciplinary actions to make sure they have an active license and are in good standing with the board. Then letters of congratulations are sent to all the listed dentists.

Of course, there are many fine dentists who are not included in this representative list. It is intended as a sampling of the great body of talent in the field of dentistry in the United States. A dentist’s inclusion on our list is based on the subjective judgments of his or her fellow dentists. While it is true that the lists may at times disproportionately reward visibility or popularity, we remain confident that our polling methodology largely corrects for any biases and that these lists continue to represent the most reliable, accurate, and useful list of dentists available anywhere.

The Cutting Edge: Gentle Treatment of Tongue and Lip Ties

From their first day of life onward, a child’s oral health greatly impacts everything they do. The bond between mother and child can be strengthened through breast feeding; however, this can become complicated or interrupted entirely if your child has a tongue or lip tie.

You may be surprised to learn this condition is found in approximately ten percent of children born in the US and tethered oral tissues, or TOTs, affect proper function of the jaw and mouth. TOTs can also affect bone growth, proper cranial mechanics and development, and cervical spine mobility. Not being able to reach areas of the roof of the mouth equally when nursing or bottle-feeding can cause a child to take in air when eating. This can lead to a gag reflex and other feeding and digestive issues.

Abnormal tongue movements can also play a large part in speech delays or impediments and airway issues such as sleep disordered breathing.

Treatment of TOTs can often dramatically improve a child’s ability to breathe, grow, and thrive.

Recognizing this importance, the Kidds Place Dentistry for Children has recently acquired a state-of-theart LightScalpel™ CO2 laser and Dr. Catherine Luchini has trained extensively. The CO2 laser is truly the gold standard in treatment today: It is extremely precise. As it vaporizes, it is able to cauterize tiny blood vessels and nerve endings.

This minimizes bleeding and discomfort and promotes better healing.

Most procedures, especially infants can be done without any anesthesia at all, and the procedures take less than a minute.

Dentistry with a HAPPY HEART

Dr. Cathy has been practicing dentistry for over thirty years and recently began studying more and more about the pediatric airway and the treatment of tethered oral tissues. In addition to being a member of the AAPMD (American Association of Physiological Medicine & Dentistry), she is a member of the American Laser Study Club where she studied directly under the creator of the LightScalpel and other experts in this field, as well as ASAP (Airway, Sleep, and Pediatrics) Pathway.

The cornerstone of Dr. Cathy’s practice is “Dentistry with a Happy Heart”, and she is committed to helping every child in need of gentle, dental assessment & treatment. Her patients and parents appreciate her most for her kind and soft spirit and you will often hear her celebrating with her patients at their visit that it’s “The Best Day Ever”! To learn more about TOTs or how Dr. Cathy and her team may help your child thrive with an improved health and well-being, they welcome your visit!

WOMEN and HEART DISEASE Lessen Your Risk

by DR. UMA KRISHNAN

H

eart disease is still the number one killer of women, causing one in three deaths each year. Sadly, many women aren’t aware they’re at risk, and what factors increase their risk. Since February is National Heart Month, it’s the perfect time to find out.

Know the traditional risk factors for heart disease: — You’re 55 or older — You smoke — You have a family history of heart disease — You have high blood pressure — You have high cholesterol — You’re not very physically active — You have diabetes In addition to these, women face additional risk factors. Pregnancy acts like a stress test; If you had pregnancy-induced high blood pressure or gestational diabetes, your

90

BOZZIMEDIA.com / FEBRUARY 2022

risk for future cardiovascular risk is higher. Connective tissue disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and mixed connective tissue disease also puts a woman at higher risk of cardiovascular disease.

Radiation treatments used to treat breast cancer may increase your risk of heart disease. Additionally, women’s hearts are affected by stress and depression more than men’s hearts.

How can I lessen my risk of cardiovascular disease?

The good news is that by making modest

changes to your diet and lifestyle, you can lower your risk for cardiovascular disease by as much as eighty percent.

Though you can’t control your age or genetic factors, you can control some risk factors for heart disease. Quit smoking, eat a heart-healthy diet, exercise moderately for thirty minutes most days, and keep your weight at a healthy level.

Physical activity is one of the modifiable risk factors that affects cardiovascular disease. Moving more and sitting less will benefit nearly everyone, according to the 2018 Physical Activity Guidelines for

Americans. When you exercise, the body releases chemicals called endorphins that naturally boost your mood. Exercise also decreases the release of stress hormones.

Any amount of physical activity can help decrease cardiovascular disease risk, according to the newest 2018 guidelines from the American College of Cardiology. Most recent studies are showing that regular exercise can protect against different types of dementia. The recommended amount of activity is 150 minutes of moderate/vigorous intensity activity weekly, along with two days of

muscular strength training. Both aerobic and muscle strengthening are beneficial.

For women at high risk and those who haven’t had blood work done in a long time, visit your doctor for a heart check.

Don’t wait for symptoms, since high blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure can lead to heart disease well before they cause any symptoms.

February is National Heart Month, and the first Friday of February, February 4, is National Wear Red Day. Wear red to raise awareness that heart disease is the number one killer of women.

Ann Foreyt (they/them) is a project manager by profession and a runner and CrossFit/HIIT enthusiast by passion. They also practice and teach aerial silks. Their goal is to make fitness accessible and enjoyable for all bodies and ability levels.

THE SPACE Especially if it’s the first time you’ve visited a particular gym, look for any posted rules or guidelines. These should give you a basic understanding of what is and isn’t permissible. Most gyms have a set of “house rules” that should be followed, both for safety reasons and for the ease of all guests in the space—things like, “during peak hours, keep all cardio equipment time to thirty minutes or less” or “shoes are required at all times”.

Even if some of these guidelines may not be exactly what you’d choose for yourself (I know, I know, you’d planned on taking a three-hour walk and watching Titanic on your iPad and that half-hour time limit is cramping your style), always respect the rules of the space. Employees and other patrons will appreciate you for it.

Setting up an area for yourself with your required equipment—grabbing a pair of dumbbells and a mat and staking out some out-of-the-way floor real estate, e.g.—is great to prevent the back and forth to a weight rack every set.

Always be aware of your surroundings.

If you’re doing kettlebell swings, are you in danger of hitting anyone or anything?

Is your water bottle taking up residence on a piece of equipment that someone else might want to use? If you’ve set up a station to work in, are people stepping over/around you? We all deserve to take up space but ensuring that you’re being respectful and safe is key.

for Gym-Goers AS YOU MIGHT have noticed, gyms are busier this time of year, which can make working

out in that space more difficult, especially if you don’t have a lot of previous experience in crowded workout spaces. You might be asking yourself questions like “Can I stake out a space for myself?”, “How do I use that machine?”, or “Can I leave my water bottle over here?”

Let’s talk about public gym etiquette, and the small-yet-important ways you can make your experience less stressful, and more friction-free for you and your fellow gym-goers.

92

BOZZIMEDIA.com / FEBRUARY 2022

THE EQUIPMENT My ethos regarding shared gym equipment can be summarized by the following question: if I were the next person to use this, would I be happy with how I found it? That includes everything from putting weights back where they should be to making sure cardio equipment is turned off or reset.

Most importantly, though, this means wiping down any machine or weight you use, both for sanitary reasons and because

nobody wants to press their body up against a still-sweaty piece of equipment.

Additionally, ensuring that all equipment is treated respectfully is important. This is both a courtesy to the gym itself and to your fellow gym-goers. Dropping weights, for example, can be damaging to the weights themselves, and—more importantly—unsafe, both for you and the people around you. Dumbbells, kettlebells, and even barbells/weight plates can bounce unexpectedly, can roll and crush toes or fingers, and should always be set down, rather than allowed to fall.

I personally have a scar from dropping a dumbbell and having it bounce back into my shin. Ouch!

If you’re unsure how to use a piece of equipment, ask! Most gyms have attendants or desk employees who’d be happy to show you how to use a particular machine. Politely asking an experiencedlooking gym-goer who’s on that piece of equipment can also yield good results. In turn, if someone asks you how to use a piece of equipment, be a good Samaritan!

You’ll make someone’s day, I promise.

YOU While it can often feel like in a gym everyone is very focused on themselves— headphones in, faced into a squat rack or watching the distance tick up on a treadmill—these spaces are still public areas and should be treated as such.

Smells: While it may sound a little counterintuitive, take a quick sniff-check of yourself before you enter the gym. Heavy perfume or cologne can aggravate other patrons’ asthma, allergies, and generally make working out in your vicinity less enjoyable for others. On the other end of the spectrum, nobody wants to smell your last seven workouts as you walk by them, either. When was the last time you washed those shorts?

Humans are stinky creatures—there will always be days you get to the gym and

My ethos regarding shared gym equipment can be summarized by the following question: If I were the next person to use this, would I be happy with how I found it? realize “huh, last night’s garlic is coming out of my pores!”—but making a good faith effort to ascertain your own level of funk is a nice gesture to your fellow gym-rats.

Sounds: Here again, we return to the “do unto others” maxim. If it would annoy you if someone else was doing it, it will probably annoy others if you’re doing it. Listening to music without using headphones, talking loudly on your cell phone, singing along to music on your earbuds, etc. all invade others’ aural space.

Additionally, you will neither be the first nor last person to get to the end of a particularly hard set and want to yell a celebratory expletive, but profanity is still offensive to many ears.

We’re all going to grunt, pant, growl, count reps to ourselves, and breathlessly answer the phone on the elliptical to say “Yeah, boss, I’ll be back in thirty minutes.

Report should be on your desk by 3 p.m.”; just don’t be that person who invites the entire cardio area to your personal karaoke hour.

Sight: I’m going to get on a slight hobby horse here: I truly believe that every single person should dress exactly the way that makes them comfortable to work out.

If that’s a crop-top and jean shorts: you go, Glen Coco. Full sweats and a hoodie pulled up over your head: get it, girl! I will never—and encourage every single one of you to never—shame someone for what they choose to wear that allows

them to be the best person they can be in an environment that can be intimidating, scary, and uncomfortable.

On the other hand, again, remember that you are in public. A ten-minute selfie session in the mirror is fine at home or when the gym’s dead, but make sure you’re still being courteous of those around you: mirrors, especially in the weights area, are intentionally there for people to watch their form in.

Touch: As discussed above: always make sure to wipe down your equipment after using it. Both for sanitary reasons and because the last thing anyone wants when settling onto a machine or bench is the cold sweat left behind by the last person who used it.

Taste: Many gyms have guidelines about eating and/or drinking on the floor. And as above: if others can smell what you’re snacking on, you may want to hold off on consuming it right then and there. Also, take your water bottle with you! Leaving a water bottle or protein shaker bottle on a piece of equipment is a way to “claim” it—if you’re not using a particular machine or bench, make sure all your stuff isn’t implying you are.

I know this can sound intimidating, or like there are a lot of things to pay attention to, but just remember that every person in the space wants the same thing: a place where they can focus and get the most efficient workout they can.

Banana Lumpia

E

for All Occasions

ven though February is only two days shorter than most months, it feels like it’s weeks shorter and packed with events: Super Bowl parties, Valentine’s Day, and this year, the Winter Olympics. All things that require food. What if I told you with about one hour and four ingredients, you could prepare in advance a dish that will impress in any of these settings? I’m pleased to introduce banana lumpia (or turon). Lumpia is a Filipino spring roll that is fried to perfection and can be a crowd-pleasing snack but can be easily dressed up with a little caramel sauce and/or ice cream. Make a bunch ahead of time and freeze them—you’ll be wanting them around from here on out.

Banana Lumpia

Lumpia is a Filipino spring roll that is fried to perfection and can be a crowd-pleasing snack but can be easily dressed up with a little caramel sauce and/or ice cream.

96

BOZZIMEDIA.com / FEBRUARY 2022

Yield: Twenty lumpia

Instructions

1. If you’re using normal bananas, peel them and cut in half lengthwise and crosswise to make four similar-sized banana pieces. If you can find apple bananas, simply peel them.

Apple bananas are starchier and not as sweet.

2. Mix cinnamon and sugar on a plate and roll each banana piece in the mix before rolling in the wrapper. If you’re using apple bananas, you may need to add more sugar to the lumpia since they are not as sweet as traditional bananas.

3. Position the wrapper like a diamond and lay the banana on the middle of the lower half and roll the corner close to you over the banana.

4. Fold the sides to the center and roll secure the ends with a slurry of 1 tablespoon of flour and a ¼ cup of water.

5. To a frying pan, add about an inch of oil and heat on medium heat until the oil is at 350°. Oil bubbles should form around the lumpia when placed in the oil. If it doesn’t bubble, the lumpia will become soggy.

6. Place the lumpia carefully seam-side down in the oil, making sure they are not touching. Fry until golden brown, and heated through, about five minutes per batch. Allow to cool for five minutes before eating. Dust with powdered sugar for garnish.

Instead of powdered sugar, try drizzling them with your favorite caramel sauce and/or pair it with a scoop of ice cream. Some unique flavors of ice cream that would be a great pairing, including salted caramel, pineapple coconut, or cinnachocashew, which can all be found at my favorite local ice cream place, The Scoop.

Ingredients

5 bananas or 20 apple bananas 20 lumpia wrappers ½ cup white sugar 1 tablespoon cinnamon 1 cup neutral oil, for frying 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, for garnish

e’re continuing our exploration of artsy drinks which started last month with coffee. For part two of this series, Lindsay and I went around town to check out some creatively crafted alcoholic cocktails. Please note that we didn’t do all of this in one night, and we were very careful about not drinking and driving.

The following lineup of cocktails is by no means a comprehensive list of the most creative cocktails in Spokane.

The Lilac City has so many wonderful bars with some of the most talented bartenders in the Inland Northwest, but these four places have the bonus of also being great places to dine on a fancy night out as well (hello, Valentine’s and Galentine’s dates).

Vieux Carré Nola Kitchen Despite being new to the scene, Vieux Carré has cemented its place among Spokane’s favorite restaurants for great cocktails. This shouldn’t come as a surprise— its owner, Korri McElfresh, started her career in the food industry as a bartender at the young age of nineteen (in Idaho, where you can bartend before age twenty-one). Most of the cocktails are in keeping with the “Southern” theme of the restaurant.

Durkin’s Liquor Bar Seed CC 3.0 On Main Street’s “restaurant row,” you will find this unassuming place that is reminiscent of a 1920s speakeasy with its dark halls and heavily tufted booth seating. They also serve what is arguably the best burger in Spokane. Bartender Blaine McNicol whipped up these three seasonal cocktails with unique flavor combinations:

Tequila, carrot juice, turmeric, ginger, and lemon.

DFLB

Aquavit, vodka, black currant, lemon, honey, and yogurt.

Baby Face

Reposado tequila, rum, togarashi syrup, passion fruit, lime, and celery bitters.

The Buzz on Convenient Coffee Boosting Local Shops With the Ease of Mobile Ordering

You can touch base with Kate via Instagram (@wordsncoffee) or www.wordsncoffee.com.

So many meaningful moments happen in coffee shops, and there’s something extra special about helping the entrepreneurs who create those spaces thrive.

Remember those dark days early in the

pandemic when our favorite restaurants and shops were only open for pick-up, and our communities rallied to support them by ordering more take-out food than ever before? I recall driving through a deserted downtown Spokane one dismal day, parking on Riverside Avenue, and hitting the button on my phone to alert Indaba staff that I was patiently waiting at the curb. A friendly barista delivered my bag of beans and a latte (okay, and one those delicious pop tarts) to my car, and I returned to my home office feeling grateful there was a way to help keep people employed.

Ordering from my phone was a novelty back then. In short time, the logo of the “joe coffee” app became a familiar site on countertops and doors of a growing number of local shops. Even once pandemic restrictions lifted, our love affair with convenience made the mobile order a more regular part of life as we returned to work.

I was pleased to learn that the entrepreneurs behind the joe app are Washingtonians who want to stick it to the corporate giants like Starbucks. Brothers Nick and Brenden Martin—former baristas from Tri-Cities—founded the company in Seattle in 2014. Their mission? “We built joe with the belief that people will choose to support local coffee over corporate giants every time—as long as it’s just as convenient,” the company website attests.

Joe grew from two hundred partner shops in 2019 to more than one thousand in 2020.

Now there are 1,500.

I visited with Nick to learn more.

Kate: What provided the inspiration for building the joe coffee business?

Nick: We grew up in a home where a family-owned business put food on the table until we were in high school when a bigger company came into town and ultimately put us out of business. From that moment on, my brother and I had a burning desire to build something that could give small businesses a way to compete against corporate giants. After years as baristas at a local coffee shop, we realized just how special that category is, and, as a largely convenience-driven purchase (eighty percent of orders at coffee shops are “togo”), we saw technology as a way to bring independents together and make it even more convenient.

Kate: What convinced you this would work?

Nick: By making it easy and convenient to support locally owned small businesses, people don’t have to settle for corporate. In fact, seventy percent of people who order ahead daily at Starbucks say they’ll switch to support local coffee once they hear about joe; we just need enough shops on the network to provide exceptional experiences in convenient locations.

Kate: Besides COVID-19, what has fostered business growth?

Nick: When the pandemic first hit, we stepped up to make sure we could provide small shops a lifeline that offered a safe way to serve customers. That is what drove development outside of Seattle. In markets like Spokane, we owe our growth to amazing partners like Bobby Enslow of Indaba who referred us to other coffee shop owners. When we come together, it makes independent coffee more convenient and allows us to invest more in technology to convert corporate coffee customers into independent coffee lovers.

Kate: What’s the best compliment a partner company has given joe coffee?

Nick: Most of our partners got into the

business to cultivate community, share their passion, and create great experiences for their customers and baristas. When we hear how well joe is working for them and enabling them to expand or just have a better quality of life as a business owner, that’s the greatest compliment we could ask for. I’m immensely proud that so many of our partners who switch from white label apps or generic web ordering solutions see a three hundred percent growth in their digital orders. We do a lot to make that happen, including investing our own dollars into deals and discounts to bring their customers back more often, automate their loyalty marketing, and bring them new customers.

Kate: What’s most rewarding for you personally?

Nick: To own a coffee shop is to create space where people feel a sense of belonging. So many meaningful moments happen in coffee shops, and there’s something extra special about helping the entrepreneurs who create those spaces thrive.

Kate: What do you envision next for joe?

HOW TO USE 1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

7.

8.

Download “Joe Coffee Order Ahead” from the app store.

Create an account and turn on your location.

Add funds to your account so paying is fast with each order.

Choose any shop that shows up in your map.

Place your order, choose a time for pick-up, and drive to your shop of choice.

Once inside, look for the joe coffee pick-up sign on the counter.

Wave and holler “Thanks!” to the barista who’s trying to keep up with customers in line.

Enjoy collecting “beans” to earn free drinks.

DINING IN INSTEAD? By all means, pay for your order with the store’s usual point-of-sale system so they receive the full amount for your purchase.

Naturally, ordering through joe means the store shares a bit of profit with the app.

Nick: Our mission is to give local coffee an advantage over corporate giants.

Starbucks is closing down almost 1,000 traditional shops in favor of mobileonly and drive-thru to appeal to hyperconvenience. We are shifting gears from catching up to the corporate giants to getting ahead in 2022 and are on a path to make local coffee more convenient than corporate coffee anywhere in the U.S. by 2025.

Kate: Your standard go-to espresso order for a Monday morning?

Nick: Americano with a splash of cream. And then ... another. The average American coffee drinker (sixty-five percent of us) consumes about three cups of coffee a day on average, so I have no shame in getting two to three drinks in me before noon.

Kate: How about something special for our readers?

Nick: Absolutely! Use the code 3OFF for three dollars off any drink.

CLARKSVILLE/historic davenport

clarksville

by DOUG CLARK

Tales of the

Historic Davenport The Skylight Crasher, ghosts galore and Spokane’s most pornographic chicken.

All this and more, my friends, as Clarksville exposes his favorite lesser-known secrets of our most luxurious landmark: The Historic Davenport Hotel.

110

BOZZIMEDIA.com / FEBRUARY 2022

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.

The idea for this grew out of a recent lunch I had in the Davenport’s posh lobby restaurant with the Lefty to my Pancho, Tom McArthur.

Mary, our attentive server, parked us at an immaculate linen-covered table a few steps from the crackling oversized fireplace. And there we sat, happy as two lords, slurping French onion soup and swapping tales about this gilded palace at 10 South Post Street.

Having McArthur as your Davenport wingman is like having Disney lead you around that Anaheim mouse park.

To me, McArthur will forever be the hotel’s public face. That’s the job he held for a decade after the Davenport reopened its doors in 2002.

His adoration for the Davenport never left.

McArthur knows every square inch and often lectures on the hotel’s history and lore.

I was writing three columns a week for the daily carp wrap during McArthur’s run as Davenport spokesman. Tom, bless his affable soul, supplied me with a score of hotelrelated yarns to write about.

That the Davenport is still here at all is thanks to our own famous Walt, of course.

I shouldn’t have to write that. Walt Worthy’s contributions should be a grade school learning essential in this burg along with instructions on how to feed the Garbage Goat.

For clarity’s sake, however, Worthy’s the hero who rescued The Davenport after an indifferent ownership ran it to ruin.

More than a few big shots considered Worthy’s plan nuttier than the Mad Hatter’s tea party. One City Council bonehead went so far as to advocate razing the hotel and converting the real estate into parking.

Pioneers don’t pay heed to clowns or cynics.

The aptly named Worthy ponied up $40 million of his own dough. He spent it on modernizing the hotel’s infrastructure while meticulously restoring the opulence that Louis Davenport presented to Spokane in 1914.

Did Worthy’s Pipe Dream pay off?

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.

Thought you’d never ask. News broke this winter that the Worthys—Walt and Karen—are exiting the hospitality trade.

They reportedly have sold the Davenport and their five other downtown hotels to a high-finance consortium for at least $200 million.

Good on them, I say. The Worthys deserve every farthing they have acquired.

And I hope they know I’m always available for cocktails.

And now, for those lesser-known secrets.

The Bellman’s Groove Enter the Davenport from Sprague Street, the hotel’s original entrance. Walk past the elevators. Stop where the wall ends on your left.

Scooch your feet about the marble floor.

Eventually, your shoes will slide into two smoothed-out divots.

Congratulations! You are standing in the exact spot where the Davenport bellmen of yore kept watch.

“Think about it,” said McArthur. “These bellmen would be in and out of the hotel during all four seasons. Then they’d come back and assume their position.”

The grit on the soles of their shoes acted like sandpaper, slowly grinding the marble as seasons turned into years and the decades passed.

“The bellmen were the first uniformed Davenport staff, added McArthur. “They were Spokane’s welcome incarnate.”

Why Did She Go? Her name was Ellen McNamara.

She was 68. A wealthy widow from New York, Ellen checked into the Davenport with her sister and two cousins. Next morning, the happy foursome planned to travel to Glacier National Park.

McNamara, alas, was on a terminal itinerary.

The Aug. 18, 1920, edition of The

Spokesman-Review told her fate. “Matron Falls To Death Through Hotel Skylight,” the headline read.

About eight feet in front of that bellman’s post. That’s where McNamara landed.

Yet a mystery remains. There has never been an adequate explanation for why McNamara left her companions dining in the main floor Isabella Room and wandered up to an outside cement walkway off the third floor.

She continued her journey into the large pagoda that covers the skylight high above the lobby court. I followed her route, and this is clearly an area not intended for the general public.

Still, McNamara would have been okay had she stayed on the catwalk that workers use for making repairs.

She didn’t. She stepped off, putting her weight on one of the panels of glass.

The fall didn’t kill her immediately.

Witnesses who rushed to help would repeat the final words they heard McNamara utter before she slipped away.

“Where did I go?”

Who You Gonna Call?

I’m not bragging, but I’ve stayed overnight in at least a dozen so-called haunted venues while committing random acts of journalism.

Why? Ghosts make for good stories, that’s why.

Trouble is, for all the looking, I’ve never seen a spook, specter, or phantasm. The undead must not like me, I guess.

So, when I tell you the Davenport is a virtual Grand Central Station for poltergeists and such, it’s not based on personal experience. I can only repeat what has come from people like Dan, one of the building engineers.

Dan told McArthur how he watched a heavy door near him open on its own accord. And it stayed open for one Mississippi, two Mississippi, maybe even

three Mississippi before closing. “No effing way a door would do that,” Dan told McArthur.

But here’s an even better wail of a tale.

McArthur swears that for years before he ever heard the name Ellen McNamara, he had received reports from staff and guests who encountered a ghostly woman in vintage attire wandering the hallways.

Some of them even claimed they heard her ask: “Where did I go?”

(Cue the eerie organ music.)

McArthur took the news to Walt Worthy, who was adamant, saying: “We don’t have any ghosts. That’s official. No ghosts. That would shut us down.”

Later, after McNamara’s newspaper story was unearthed by a hotel intern, McArthur said he convinced Worthy to accept the apparitions “as a sign of our spirit of service.”

Ageless Masterpiece A short walk from the bellman’s stand will take you into The Peacock Room Lounge.

Look up and you’ll see why this is hands-down my favorite Spokane bar.

The ceiling is an elaborate 12-by-28foot peacock made from 6,000 pieces of intricately cut stained glass.

It is, quite simply, a masterpiece.

The peacock mosaic is like something from a bygone age. It’s so fabulous that you could mistake it as an original part of the old hotel’s workmanship.

It’s not. “Reflections on a Peacock” is a commissioned piece that was unveiled with the hotel’s 2002 reopening.

Susan Kim. Please remember her name.

The Spokane artist spent thousands of hours designing, cutting, and assembling this museum-worthy showpiece.

Sadly, Kim died in 2019. She was 51.

Friends and family members describe her as an intensely humble person who never sought fame or publicity.

“She just wanted to make the art,” said one of her sons.

What Goes Up...

No one will ever mistake The Davenport Hotel for the Winchester Mystery House, the California mansion known for its schizophrenic floor plans, mazelike hallways and doors that open into walls.

With one exception, that is.

The Davenport’s Stairway to Nowhere is a contractor’s oddity, to be sure.

It’s found between the second and third floors. Look for a fine set of stairs that goes up, and up… into a solid ceiling.

I like to think of it as the perfect place for indecisive people who get halfway up, change their minds, then come back down.

It’s also “a great place for school field trips,” said McArthur. “More often than not, the teacher will assemble the class (for a photo) with all the kids sitting on the stairs, looking out.”

McArthur paused.

“Stairs to Nowhere,” he added. “It’s a metaphor for life.”

It’s a Lover’s Question The long panel of wood above the doors outside the Elizabethan Room is not wood at all.

It is actually paint, so expertly applied that the brown and faint lines of grain mimic the real thing. This artsy technique was used to cliché back in the old craftsmanship days.

But there’s a message in this particular décor. Look closely and you’ll see the faux grain spells “Will You Marry Me?” The proposal, according to McArthur, is part of the original 1914 Davenport. And while the name of whoever put it there has been lost to the ages, it’s a safe bet the culprit did it with matrimony in mind.

McArthur once handed a flashlight to a would-be groom who headed up to the mezzanine with his lady. “She came back smiling,” he said. “So, I know it still makes a great place to get engaged.”

Cock of the Walk Speaking of décor tomfoolery, the hotel’s best inside joke hides in plain sight inside the posh Isabella ballroom.

end is a fine French painting of a woman who is NOT Queen Isabella as so many presume.

Admire the artwork, anyway.

McArthur said it dates back to the 1700s and is probably worth in excess of $100 grand.

Turn your back on her. The plaster relief above you features three-dimensional critters that adorn the beams.

Oh, look. There’s a cute rabbit.

And, oh, my. That rooster really has something to crow about. No doubt about it. That chicken is sporting a significant package of male genitalia.

“Some tradesman probably thought, ‘Who’s going to ever notice?’” said McArthur, smirking. “Then he went ahead and added a level of detail that was far beyond what was expected of him.”

Thus concludes our tour. I urge you all to go downtown and appreciate the many wonders of the Davenport Hotel. However, if you happen to bump into a strange woman who asks, “Where did I go?”

Run like hell.
