In 1993, Hermine Sittel of Hermine’s Old World Confections had the inspiration to create a tribute to the state of Idaho, and the result was the birth of the Marzipan Candy Potato. Her very own Marzipan formula brings this product to the high level it is, and the customers tell the story.

Thousands of souvenir Marzipan “spuds” later, it remains one of the most popular products we sell and ship. It is still produced by hand from our own premium Marzipan and rolled in pure cocoa powder. Hermine also incorporates this premium Marzipan into her pastry as it is customary in Europe where she learned her craft.

AS MOST OF YOU KNOW the 2014 Diamond Cup Race scheduled to take place Labor Day Weekend on Lake Coeur d’Alene has been cancelled. For it or against it, the race itself had an interesting history if not a colored one.

Coeur d’Alene Living Local was working with the event as we saw it to be one that would draw in people from all over which means more dollars spent on the local economy.

Therefore, we decided to run a story on the race history and what would be new for the 2014 event in our July issue. When we were first informed that the race might be in jeopardy, we had just printed the entire issue and were only an hour or two from having them delivered.

While weighing our options, we ultimately decided to distribute the issue even though the race was possibly going to be cancelled and our information would be out of date. We looked at the other stories running in this issue and felt their importance outweighed one featured event.

The first Goodwill store: a wood shack.

GoodNews

Oh, How We’ve Grown!

75 Years in the making. By Heather Alexander. Photos courtesy Goodwill Industries.

This year Goodwill Industries of the Inland Northwest is celebrating 75 exciting years of serving our community. It’s exciting to look back at all that has been accomplished and how we have impacted our communities, because of their support, in those 75 years.

Goodwill first came to our region in 1939. It was a season of challenges and uncertainty, nationally and internationally. Germany and the Soviet Union were on the offensive in Europe, launching World War II. On the home front, many Americans were struggling through the tail end of the Great Depression.

Average wages per year were $1730, if you were lucky enough to have a job. A gallon of gas cost 10 cents. A loaf of bread cost 8 cents, and a pound of hamburger cost 14 cents. The unemployment rate was 17%. People in even the best of circumstances, with no barriers to employment, were struggling.

It was this struggle that prompted a conversation about Goodwill between Dr. Ernest Harold and Reverend Charles Estabrook, on the steps of the Rockford Methodist Church in 1938. Reverend Estabrook later wrote, “Some weeks later I was informed that I had been appointed Superintendent of Goodwill Industries of Spokane, but as yet no such institution existed, except on paper. I wondered how I could be superintendent of an organization that did not exist, but my job was to start a Goodwill with no money, no merchandise, and no workers.”

The Estabrooks took the charge to start a Goodwill to heart. Rev. Estabrook, his wife and daughters traveled through the neighborhoods of Spokane and to the homes of their church members, collecting discarded clothing and furnishings. The

family “cleaned, mended and pressed until we had quite a nice stock ready to sell.”

The Estabrooks found a building to house the first Goodwill store – a small shack located at 130 E. Third Avenue (site of the Administrative Offices of Goodwill Industries of the Inland Northwest today). The doors opened on December 5, 1939 – with $43 in debt, 2 helpers, and Rev. Estabrook as the Superintendent. All of them worked for 6 months with no pay.

By 1945, the mission of Goodwill caught hold in the community. $50,000 was raised to build a two story building, measuring 80 feet by 100 feet, on Third Avenue in Spokane to house a production area, offices, and store.

By 1950, Goodwill of Spokane was financially stable enough to offer paid vacations and holidays off with pay to employees.

By 1952, Goodwill of Spokane was posting sales of $45,000 a year. At this time, and for many more years, Goodwill operated as a ”sheltered workshop,” employing 2030 people with disabilities. These men and women repaired the donations that came in, learning a marketable trade.

Goodwill had a variety of workshops, including a cabinetry business, a laundry facility, a shoe repair workshop, and a sewing department. Mended and cleaned donations were sold in the one Goodwill store.

In the 1960s, society began to change and realize that an integrated workplace is healthy and productive for all involved.

Today, Goodwill focuses on training individuals, helping them overcome barriers to employment, establish stability, and get jobs in the community, rather than creating a “sheltered” work environment for people with disabilities.

Seventy-five years after opening our doors in a small shack to help people in Spokane, Goodwill has expanded to become Goodwill Industries of the Inland Northwest, serving 23 counties in Central/ Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho.

We operate a whole fleet of small trucks and semi-trucks to manage our 20 million pounds of donations. We have 12, soon to be 13, stores throughout the region. We operate online sales. We employ more than 500 people throughout our region, and

A gallon of gas cost 10 cents.

A loaf of bread cost 8 cents, and a pound of hamburger cost 14 cents. The unemployment rate was 17%. impact more than 6000 people every year through our service programs.

Oh, how we’ve grown! And you, our community, have made that possible. By donating and shopping at Goodwill, you have made it possible for Goodwill to train men and women and get them employed in the community. You have made it possible for homeless veterans to find the pride and freedom of a home. You have made it possible for youth to overcome the obstacles that keep them from dreaming and planning for a career. You have made it possible for men and women to transform, and say “I CAN” through services at Goodwill.

What can we do together in the next 75 years?

Home&Essentials PERMACULTURE

Creating sustainable abundant food sourcing and environmental improvement. By Sarah Polyakov.

EVEN THOUGH THE TOPIC of sustainability has generated widespread attention since the 1960’s, the issues that sustainability seeks to address are as old as the advent of the industrial revolution. For the past 300 years, human expansion and subsequent use of natural resources has been accelerating at such a speed that our global ecosystem cannot recover.

Still, even prior to the industrial revolution and as much as 1,000 years ago, cultural expansion and the motivation to conquer new lands were driven by the fact that many cultures had exhausted their native forests and subsequently their source of fuel and shelter.

In other words, the over-use of resources is not a new issue. But, with a growing and unsustainable global population, every natural resource from forests, to farm crops, to water sources, has come into sharp focus. Many scientists are realizing that if we do not take measures to counteract this destructive cycle, we all lose.

In the late 1970’s, the term permaculture was coined to describe a type of agriculture that fits seamlessly into an ecosystem and creates a sustainable food source for a community. During the late 1970’s, this movement gained momentum, but then quickly fizzled out as corporate agriculture became the major supplier of U.S. food sources.

Now, as scientists warn us about growing environmental concerns, acquiring sustainable food sources and finding ways to reverse environmental damage is on people’s minds again. Subsequently, permaculture is making an incredibly large comeback.

Bill Mollison, one of the people who brought permaculture into the national spotlight, describes it as thus: “Permaculture is a philosophy of working with, rather than

against nature; of protracted and thoughtful observation rather than protracted and thoughtless labor; and of looking at plants and animals in all their functions, rather than treating any area as a single product system.”

In more practical terms, permaculture is simply a method through which to organically farm, while maximizing contribution to the surrounding ecosystem, instead of becoming a detriment. The finished product, using permaculture design, will produce both an agriculture system and an ecosystem that thrives and is much greater than the sum of its parts. In other words, it goes further than the concept of leaving no footprint since it actually enhances and grows the surrounding ecosystems, including forests and watersheds.

Permaculture also has three core tenants: caring for the earth, caring for people, and returning surplus. The premise is that as humans, we must first care for the earth in ways that create abundance. Then, we must ensure that access to necessary resources is available for all. Finally, we must find ways to reduce waste, recycle, and reinvest surplus in both communities and the earth.

However, these are not esoteric principles that are removed from our daily lives.

Permaculture design can be leveraged well in both a ten-square foot patio garden as well as large-scale agriculture.

If you would like to know more about how you too can incorporate the principles of permaculture into your home garden, Oregon State University offers a free online course that anyone is able to join.

Please visit their website for up to date information. I invite you to take a deeper look into permaculture since its practices, when successfully implemented, create a better world for all of us.

CHAMPAGNE TASTE Beer budget. By Annie Nye, Interior Designer, Ponderay Design Center.

NO MATTER HOW MUCH something costs, it’s hard to part with our hard-earned money to buy it. Yet, when the washer breaks, we find a way to get the money and go buy a new one because it’s a necessity, right?

It’s even tougher to fork over cash when we are talking about spending money on something that we can probably live without. The little voice of reason in our heads is saying that we can make do with that old sofa, or maybe those kitchen cabinets will last a few more years…but really it boils down to the fact that we want those new things and feel ultimately they will improve the quality of our lives.

I’d say this is a proven fact: improving the level of your home DOES increase your level of happiness. It makes you happy while living there, happy to entertain guests there, and when it comes right down to it, most of us enjoy the shopping and ‘process’ designing our own spaces.

I see it every day, wives pulling their husbands into the stores to look at interior finishes – deciding between carpet or hardwood, cabinet and door styles, window coverings, furniture... if you haven’t been a part of this, you’ve seen or heard about it from your friends. It is a process. You weigh the pros and cons, take samples home to look at colors, discuss price, and get friends’ opinions. It takes time and although it can be tiring, making all those decisions is kind of fun.

Sometimes those decisions are based on budget and sometimes they are based on desire. More often than not, the beer budget overrules our desired champagne taste. But there are other things to consider when you are shopping. Is the product made domestically (USA)? What kind of warranty does it carry? Does the company you are purchasing it from have a good

18 Coeur d’Alene Living Local | www.CDALiving.com

reputation? Most of the places that have good reputations have experience and good options. There’s a word we like to hear when we are shopping – experience!

Options?! We like to know that someone has the selections as well as the expertise and knowledge to ensure this is not something we will regret later.

Sometimes the beer budget has to take a backseat to our peace-of-mind and investment towards our happiness. I’m certainly not saying that buying things for our homes is the only thing that makes us happy. There are many other more important things in life. I’m just saying that ultimately, we all want to kick back at the end of the day, laugh with our family and friends, maybe gaze out into a beautiful sunset, and enjoy living where we do because we have the luxury and freedom to do so. Maybe all that time spent squeezing the beer budget would have been better spent toasting with champagne to our good health and happiness. There really is no place like home and when all is said and done, it IS worth it!

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A HOME INSPECTION? Article provided by Jan Leaf, Coldwell Banker Schneidmiller.

EXPLORE COEUR D’ALENE

Avondale Loop

A HOME INSPECTION is performed after the buyer and seller have entered into a written contract. It is a review of the home’s condition, including the heating system, attic, foundation and a mold review. The point is to identify any area of the home that needs replacement or repair. This can ultimately set the final price of the purchase.

As a buyer, it is important to know exactly where you stand. You may ask the seller to make some or all of the repairs called out by the inspector, and they may agree to all or some of the things you ask for. Sometimes, instead of making the repairs, the seller may

Having the inspection and mending trouble spots will re-enforce your asking price and make for a smoother transaction. offer to lower the price for an amount that will cover the cost of the buyer taking care of the repairs after the sale is closed.

Even if you are buying a home “sold as is” you will want to know what parts may need attention. You may choose to buy the house and do the repairs yourself, or you may walk away from the property if the costs would be too high for your budget. Your agent will help you keep track of the inspection period,

so that you may cancel the transaction with the return of your earnest money if you do so within the number of days stated for your inspection period in your contract.

As a seller it isn’t a bad idea to have a preinspection to find out what might show up in an inspection and what the potential buyer will want fixed. Having the inspection and mending trouble spots will re-enforce your asking price and make for a smoother transaction.

If you are not purchasing the home with cash, your bank will require an appraisal.

The appraisal should be done after the inspection. It will save the buyer money to have the appraisal done after they are satisfied with the inspection. You don’t want to pay for an appraisal if you are not buying the house!

MAN’S BEST FRIEND

Unconditional love leads the way for healing for veterans. By Chris Shafer.

Did you know that petting a dog decreases release of cortisol and increases release of oxytocin into the bloodstream? It decreases cortisol, lowers blood pressure and facilitates a sense of relaxation, while increasing oxytocin, the same chemical released when a mother nurses her infant that facilitates a sense of security and well-being.

DOGS CAN SNIFF OUT BOMBS, lead the blind, and detect the oncoming seizures of their humans.

The list goes on and on when it comes to the many ways canines prove themselves to be “man’s best friend.” If you are a dog owner, you are well aware of the benefits of having a dog in your life. The fact that dogs can make us feel better is one major benefit. Our furry friends bring us “out of ourselves” and away from stress. Their wagging tails, eagerness to play and to love give us a break from our every day cares. Beyond improving the quality of our daily lives, four-legged best friends can help humans heal, emotionally and psychologically.

Operation Dog Tag, an Inland NW based non-profit, assists veterans dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury. This organization operates with the knowledge that dogs are good medicine. “Unconditional love leads the way” is the motto. Joe Scheffer is the founder and a former Marine. With his service in Vietnam in 1968-69, Scheffer has first-hand knowledge of the kind of suffering some of our soldiers who have been deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan are experiencing.

Scheffer brings his background as a combat vet and his knowledge of the healing powers of dogs to the aid of local veterans in need.

Returning soldiers can end up isolating themselves. Veterans feeling out of place in civilian life may withdraw and succumb to feelings of unworthiness. Family members and friends can get pushed away, but dogs can be a different story. Dogs don’t judge and they love unconditionally. They are safe.

Scheffer, who is a dog trainer, says that dogs can tell when someone is hurting inside. The dogs he chooses to help veterans are loving and non-aggressive. With gestures such as licking a hand or sitting close, the dogs will attempt to comfort the person who is suffering. Healing can begin with that type of

canine contact. Next the person in emotional pain reaches out and pets the dog, from there a relationship builds, a relationship that leads to reconnecting with family and with life.

Sometimes the veterans Scheffer works with have their own dogs that are suitable for training as companion dogs. Some dogs are donated to the program. Many are found at area shelters like the Panhandle Animal Shelter in Ponderay, Idaho. Behavioral testing is performed on the dogs. Also, in order to make a good match, Scheffer visits the veterans’ homes and, with permission, speaks with their counselors.

At Operation Dog Tag, veterans learn to train their own dogs. Often, they help other veterans with the training process as well. Training the dogs can reduce PTSD symptoms, and canines partnered with veterans provide loyal companionship as well as an increased sense of well being and independence.

TRAVELING WITH YOUR DOG? Dodger the weimaraner’s travel tips for dogs.

By Chris Shafer. Photo by Stan Drennan, 29K Productions.

HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS & SUITES in Coeur d’Alene has so much to offer. It is conveniently located right off I-90, with easy access to nearby attractions, such as shopping, dining, and the lake. And like many hotels, it offers a business center for corporate travelers and many other amenities that make it appealing for a business or personal getaway. Sounds great, right?

Take the phone number of your veterinarian and any special medication your dog needs. Some dogs can’t adjust to abrupt changes in diet, so pack your dog’s regular food.

Well, it gets better, at least for dog lovers, that is. This hotel is petfriendly and does not charge a pet fee, as long as the pet policies are followed. Pretty great, right? It gets better. The Guest Services Manager is a dog. That’s right, a Weimariner named Dodger. He is a sociable guy who loves to make guests feel welcome whether they walk on two legs or four.

To keep your dog calm during car travel, make sure you bring your dog’s blankie or his favorite stuffed animal, toy, bone—any item that will comfort and relax him.

When Dodger is on duty, he likes to show guests the large dog walking area (the Back ‘9’) where there are trees and picnic tables, and of course a doggy potty station (just in case you forgot your potty pickup bags). Doggie treats are available to the canine guests, and Dodger tastes these regularly to be sure they’re fresh (quality control). Also, Dodger can recommend dog parks, hikes, and other dog-friendly activities in the city.

Dodger’s final tip is to have fun! Also, he would like to add, “Don’t forget about shelter dogs...puppies are good, but shelter pets need a loving family too!” Dodger was a shelter dog, and look where he is now!

Dodger has a few suggestions when traveling with your dog: Make sure your dog has a sturdy leash and collar. The collar should have identification tags, a license and proof of rabies vaccinations.

Carry recent pictures of your dog with you. If you are accidentally separated, these pictures will help local authorities find your dog.

Be sure to bring your dog’s complete vaccination records in case you need to board your dog

An exercised dog will be in a more relaxed state, so once you’ve settled into the hotel take your dog for a walk.

Together enhancing the lives of pets and their people.

Rescue of the Month: MEET SOME OF OUR ANIMALS UP FOR ADOPTION AT THE KOOTENAI COUNTY FAIR! The mission of Power of the Paw is to provide the animals in need with a safe haven through responsible rescue, transportation, foster and adoption and to educate the community about the importance of responsible pet ownership.

DOG PLAY ONE OF THE BEST WAYS to turn your dog or puppy into a model citizen is to play fun games with him.

Dog play will help keep a dog busy, as well as channel his energy into fun and constructive activities that do not involve any property destruction.

Dog play will also help with obedience training, deepen your relationship with your dog, and establish you as the pack leader.

Important things to remember while playing with your dog: Establish dog play rules and enforce them consistently.

www.animalalliancechamber-cda.com

Remember to have frequent breaks during play so that the dog can refocus his attention on you. Frequent breaks will also prevent your dog from getting over-excited, and losing control of himself.

Keep sessions short, interesting, and rewarding. Stop playing before the dog gets bored, so that he will always want more.

DOG GAME - WATER HOSE The water-hose can also be used to create a fun chasing game for your dog.

Serving the Inland Empire at 2 Locations!

FREE TRIAL DAY! Coeur d’Alene Pet Resort & Doggie Daycare 208.667.4606

First, set the water-hose nozzle so that it shoots out a jet of water. Then move the jet around for your dog to chase. The big advantage of this game is that you can use it to give your dog a bath.

A dog may get obsessed with and want to attack the water-hose. If he exhibits this attacking behavior, then enforce strict play-rules or stop playing the game. The water-hose game is not for everyone. Some dogs may not like water, even when used in play.

www.SelkirkGlassAndCabinets.com Your new Hunter Douglas gallery. By Patty Hutchens.

WHILE SELKIRK GLASS AND CABINETS has been around for a long time, there are changes taking place there that will make your shopping experience even greater than before. Selkirk Glass and Cabinets is part of Ponderay Design Center, which also includes Sandpoint Furniture and Carpet One. Ponderay Design Center recently moved its window coverings department from Carpet One to Selkirk Glass and Cabinets and has recently been selected to be a Hunter Douglas Gallery. Selkirk is now the ONLY HD Gallery from Missoula to Spokane.

Previously a Hunter Douglas Showcase Dealer, Selkirk Glass and Cabinet’s expansion to a Hunter Douglas Gallery provides the retailer greater buying power, passing on better values to its customers.

It also allows a customer to see how the product works and looks in a window setting.

The Gallery has exclusively well-designed displays that best show the complete product. People can actually come in and touch and see the products instead of just a sample. In addition they offer a Right Choice Promise, which means if the customer is not satisfied with their purchase, whether it is the color or style, they can exchange it for another HD product.

Hunter Douglas Galleries are qualified to offer a limited lifetime warranty on ALL Hunter Douglas products. Selkirk has full time certified installers and technicians on staff to insure great customer service, even long after the sale.

The move of their window coverings from Carpet One to Selkirk Glass and Cabinet made perfect sense for Ponderay Design Center since their windows and doors are located at Selkirk Glass and Cabinet making it more convenient for customers.

But there is much more to Selkirk Glass and Cabinets than the name implies. They have everything one needs to design or remodel their kitchen and bathroom including cabinets, countertops, cabinet hardware, shower doors, mirrors, doors and windows. For custom glass, they can do anything with the exception of vehicles. Custom glass shower doors are their specialty!

Annie Nye Interior Designer

Roxanne Buck Window Designer

said Annie. She and Assistant Manager Karin Corey are both certified by the National Kitchen and Bath Association.

Roxanne Buck joined the staff in March after several years at ProBuild and Alpine Lumber in Sandpoint and works in the area of windows, doors and interior trim. “I love the upbeat attitude and the focus on customer service,” said Roxanne of her work at Selkirk Glass and Cabinets. “We all have our specialties, and we are all good at what we do. There’s a lot of experience and knowledge in this building.”

With the assistance of designers, computer programs and the ability to have people see your project through start to finish, customers know that they are taken care of. And if the customer has a designer he or she is working with, the staff works closely with them to make sure all their customers’ needs and desires are met.

Stop in to see the new Selkirk Glass and Cabinets. You will definitely be inspired!

They have recently added many new door styles and new cabinet displays that are sure to inspire their customers. But it is their focus on customer service of which they are most proud.

“What really sets us apart from others is that we are highly service oriented,” said Manager Eric Jeffres, adding that his staff has the expertise, talent and skill that allows the store to follow through on any project to the very end. “Trust is something that we value and is highly important to us.”

Selkirk Glass & Cabinets

Selkirk Glass and Cabinets recently added two new members to their highly qualified staff. Annie Nye is an interior designer who moved to the area with her husband and two children from Bozeman. “Annie has a high level of expertise,” said Jeffres, referring to her National Council of Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ). While in Bozeman, Annie worked for an architect for seven years followed by 10 years as an in-store interior designer. She feels blessed to be able to offer her expertise to her customers. “I work with such a great group of people. It’s really fun to come to work,”

Three Amigos

Using the latest technology in directional drilling.

By Patty Hutchens.

HAVE YOU EVER EXPERIENCED a burst pipe in the middle of the night? Or how about a backed up sewer that is likely only to occur on a Saturday? It always seems that things like this happen during the time when the professionals are unavailable. But if you are looking for quality plumbing services any time night or day, then you are in luck.

Three Amigos Plumbing & Maintenance located in Sandpoint provides emergency service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, something that is hard to come by in many towns.

Their territory extends beyond Bonner County and they are pleased to offer services in Coeur d’Alene and throughout North Idaho.

Purchased by Todd Janssen in 2006, Three Amigos has thrived in what has otherwise been a down economy. Janssen credits that in part to their dedication to using high-end equipment as well as his quality staff.

Whether performing water line or sewer line replacements, it is all done trenchless. “We have a directional drill so we do water line and sump pump lines without digging up your yard,” said Janssen, who goes onto explain the technique.

“A small hole is drilled from one location to another. Once the drill rod comes to the end of the bore, the new pipe is attached and pulled back eliminating open excavation.” Because it provides less wear and tear on the property, using the directional drill helps keep the cost down and restoration at a minimum.

The services provided by Three Amigos that utilize directional drilling include water and sewer lines, pipe bursting, vacuum excavation, underground drainage, under pavement projects, parking lots, underground utilities, erosion control, irrigation lines, and much more.

1424 North Boyer, Suite C-108-1A Sandpoint, Idaho 83864 208.255.4380 or 208.437.2935 www.ThreeAmigosPlumbing.com

While about 80% of the work they perform is done commercially, including providing the plumbing maintenance for Bonner General Health and working with Northland Cable and Avista, Janssen said they welcome all jobs no matter how small.

Pay a little

Janssen had worked at Three Amigos for five years prior to purchasing it. He has expanded considerably from the original six employees to now having ten. He also has a fleet of

eight service trucks. All of his employees are journeymen or apprentices and all are licensed. In addition to having their HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) license, Three Amigos also has it Public Works license.

“All our employees are highly qualified,” said Janssen.

Prior to coming to North Idaho in 1997, Janssen was stationed in Mississippi where he was a Seabee, a member of the United States Navy Construction Battalion. “That is where I got most of my experience,” said Janssen. Originally from Libby, MT Todd had a desire to return to the area and that is when he decided to make North Idaho his home.

In being true to their belief that the community and the loyal clients are what make them successful, Janssen said Three Amigos does all it can to support the local businesses, buying nearly 100 percent of their supplies in North Idaho.

WOODEN BOAT FESTIVAL. Offering plenty of fun on the water. By Jocelyn Stott.

Coeur d’Alene

in Focus

Some are brand new and some are lovingly restored, but all of the wooden boats on display are a fantastic example of craftsmanship during the Coeur d’Alene Chamber of Commerce Annual Wooden Boat Show at the Coeur d’Alene Resort Marina and Boardwalk, August 1617.

Boats from around the area, as well as vessels from as far away as Canada and Texas, are on display for viewing beginning at 8 a.m. Saturday morning until 3 p.m. Sunday. Admission is free.

One of the event sponsors, StanCraft Boats, has some of their showpiece boats on display at the event. The Post Falls manufacturer constructs boats of all sizes out of African Mahogany. Not only are these one-ofa-kind crafts shipped to boat aficionados around the world, they’re also in use locally.

EVENT

SUP Cup 2014 Paddleboard Races.

By Colin Anderson.

StanCraft Boats are seen coming and going at the downtown docks as the Gozzer Ranch and Golf Club water taxi fleet brings people to and from Gozzer Ranch and Golf Club on the east shore of Lake Coeur d’Alene.

Hagadone Marine also constructs classic heirloom and collector quality custom wooden boats locally through their in-house Coeur d’Alene Custom Wood Boat Shop.

STAND-UP PADDLEBOARDING is typically a relaxing way to tour a body of water, but leisure will pause for the day on August 16th when SUP Cup 2014 takes over. There are four different paddleboard races to choose from; a five mile course, youth race, one mile sprint, and team relay.

The race begins just out of downtown at the North Idaho College Beach where there are plenty of places for non-participants to watch the paddlers pass by. If you haven’t had a chance to experience this fun activity, free clinics will be offered by Team Coeur d’Alene Paddleboards. There will also be food, demos, and an awards ceremony for the victors. Races start at 10am with check in beginning at 8am.

For more information or to register for the event visit: https://paddleguru.com/ races/CoeurdAleneSUPCUP. Day of event registration is also available.

Wooden boats are used to shuttle golfers out to the legendary 14th Floating Green at the Coeur d’Alene Resort Golf Course. Skilled golfers who make the green are escorted along with their party to the putting green to finish the game for a unique waterfront golf experience.

Also adjacent to downtown, viewers can check out the Coeur d’Alene SUP (Stand Up Paddeboard) Cup at the North Idaho College Dock and (near the Spokane River mouth) Beach.

Men, Women and Youth Division racers paddle their boards across the waters of Lake Coeur d’Alene in hopes of victory. The event begins at 8 a.m. Saturday and features a five-mile, onemile, youth and team relay races as well as equipment demonstrations throughout the day.

They’re not made of wood but, just west of the Wooden Boat Festival on Saturday, you can check out yet another fun water activity to watch: The Cardboard Boat Regatta at nearby Independence Point between City Beach and the Coeur d’Alene Resort.

During this event, teams of youth ages 12-15, adults 16-60 and Corporate/Business groups assemble and attempt to navigate vessels composed of cardboard and two rolls of duct tape as they race to (a hopeful) finish. This event is free and begins at 11 a.m.

Bragging rights are awarded to the Race Winner, Judges Favorite and Titanic Award (the best sinking vessel – if applicable).

PHIL’SARMY & NAVY OUTDOOR By Colin Anderson.

‘SHOP LOCAL’ AND ‘BUY AMERICAN’ are principles important to many in our area.

By purchasing from locally owned businesses, your dollars stay in the community, and by purchasing American made products you are helping the American workforce maintain and grow. Phil Motl of Phil’s Army & Navy in Coeur d’Alene recognizes this, and it has been part of his business model for nearly 25 years.

“We try and have as much ‘American Made’ inventory as possible,” said Motl.

Phil went to work at the store in 1989, and when the opportunity to purchase came available in 2006, he jumped at the opportunity. This coming April Motl will have put 25 years into the business. “I’ve always had a job here. I like the business and I like the town, so it works out pretty well,” said Motl.

The son of a World War II Veteran, Motl caters his well stocked store for the outdoor enthusiast with an emphasis on the local vet population. You can find all kinds of military surplus from fatigues and packs to camping equipment and MREs (Meals Ready to Eat). Phil’s Army & Navy features a display case with an impressive display of roughly 10,000 pins from all different conflicts and branches of the armed service. These are some of the stores most popular items as many are rare and collectors love it. You’ll find high quality knives, cast iron cookware, and flags representing local colleges, military, causes, and pirates! High quality shirts, coats, and pants will keep you warm in the great outdoors. Motl recently partnered with Filson, a 100year old American company that recently opened a manufacturing facility in Post Falls and will carry their line of high quality outdoor clothing and accessories this fall.

What really separates Phil’s Army & Navy from the big box stores is the incredible selection of boots. In fact, Phil’s is one of just two independent boot dealers in the Panhandle. His American boot aisle features household names like Redwing and Thorogood. The store caters to oil field workers, loggers, and firefighters but also has a great selection or hiking boots for

experts!

“I do custom boot orders for people all the time, typically about fifteen times a week,” said Motl.

Phil employs Pam, a member of the local Patriot Guard, and together they’ve created a ‘Wall of Honor’ featuring photos of local service members. Motl says it’s just another way to show appreciation for those who fight for us and encourages people to bring copies of their family photos to share as well.

“Bring your pictures down, and help celebrate and honor our local service members,” said Motl.

Whether it’s a pair of custom boots, U of I flag, work pants or a new multi tool, Phil’s Army & Navy has what every outdoorsman is looking for. If you don’t see what you’re looking for Phil will custom order for you.

North Idaho College NIC program plays to area strength: hospitality.

By Kaye Thornbrugh.

SUMMER IS HERE, and Coeur d’Alene is filled with tourists. The Coeur d’Alene Resort, the Coeur d’Alene Casino, Silverwood, and dozens of restaurants and other businesses are flooded with patrons — and that’s just the summer rush.

In an area like Coeur d’Alene, the hospitality industry is king — and the Hospitality Management program at North Idaho College is tailor-made to prepare students for new careers.

“We’re in a tourism Mecca here in Coeur d’Alene,” said Angela White, instructor of the Hospitality Management program. “Our area thrives on tourism in the summer.”

Hospitality is more than just hotels. The hospitality industry is the nation’s and the world’s biggest employer, including restaurants, lodging, theme parks, cruise lines and more. Though a degree is not necessary to work in the hospitality industry, White said, it can jump-start a career. At NIC, they’re not making servers. They’re making managers.

“Our goal is not to teach you how to be a host or a server,” White said. “The idea is to look at something higher on that scale as you’re working your way up to the top.”

With a bachelor’s degree in Hospitality Management, White began working as a restaurant manager at age 24. Other managers at the same restaurant had spent years working their way up to the position.

Earning a degree or certificate in Hospitality Management can make climbing the industry ladder much faster.

“Education helps you jump past some of those entry-level positions,” White said. “It gets your foot in the door.”

textbook, but NIC gives you the opportunity to not only have the classroom experience, but also to go out and work in the industry.”

NIC’s two-year Hospitality Management program offers an associate degree or an advanced technical certificate option. Most of the coursework is the same for both the degree and the certificate; however, the advanced technical certificate does not require math or English courses. Students can also earn one-year certificates in Food and Beverage and in Lodging.

After she earns her degree in Hospitality Management from NIC, Adams said she plans to shoot “straight to the top.”

“It’s the experience that takes you the farthest,” Adams said. “When you have the program under your belt and experience, you’ll rise to the top over dozens of applicants.”

The associate degree transfers smoothly to Lewis-Clark State College. Students can earn a four-year bachelor’s degree in Hospitality Management without ever leaving Coeur d’Alene.

For Ashley Adams, a current student in the program, hospitality isn’t just a job; it’s a lifestyle. She loves helping to create a satisfying experience for guests.

“There’s nothing like being able to make a guest’s day,” she said. “Getting to be part of someone’s vacation means so much.”

Adams graduated from the Resort Academy, a two-year program in Lodging Management offered by KTEC. She enrolled in NIC’s Hospitality Management program and already has a job at the Coeur d’Alene Resort Golf Course.

The program at NIC blends classroom instruction with hands-on instruction.

“It’s been phenomenal,” Adams said. “You can do anything in a class and read it in a

Innovative Around Us Innovation Collective seeks to boost renown as a tech hub. By Jani Gonzalez.

MISSION “...our hope is to have a vibrant technology community investing in new ideas and companies selling at Bay Area prices.”

COEUR D’ALENE IS KNOWN for its tourism and year-round outdoor activities, but a tech hub? That’s exactly what Ryan Arnold and Nick Smoot of the Innovation Collective want you and tech companies to consider.

The two longtime friends saw the potential to boost Coeur d’Alene’s economy and prevent the “brain drain” of valuable employees from the area.

“We want Coeur d’Alene to be a hub. We want to show off our assets.

We have a good airport, beautiful and low cost of living and a lot of financial and mental capital. There’s a lot of brilliant people in town that are retired executives that have done fabulous things,” Nick said.

With this in mind, he and Ryan began the Innovation Collective, an open group of local entrepreneurs and technology enthusiasts that have come together under the course of one year. The group started a series of monthly events called the Fireside Chats where the public heard local business leaders discuss their work. Then came Coffee and Concepts which are bi-monthly meetings at Java on Sherman for anyone interested in discussing the latest technology and collaborating. The big ticket items coming up on the group’s agenda are the Sanders Gathering conference and the Think Big Festival in August.

Sander’s Gathering will be a closed meeting of forty-five technology experts. Some of the attendees are speakers at the Think Big Festival that same week, such as Brad Templeton, a member of Google’s self-driving car team and Dragomir N. Nenchev from Tokyo City University, an expert on robotics for medical rehabilitation.

“The idea for the festival is to focus on robotics. The goal is to gather people coming to our events and show them there is a spot where we meet once a year. Our hope is to have a vibrant technology community

investing in new ideas and companies selling at Bay Area prices,” Nick said.

Another big item on their list of goals for the year is the robot ordinances that the group has proposed to city council. The lofty task is the first in the nation according to Nick. The idea isn’t to regulate the use of robots but to set a precedence on how robots and citizens can interact as a selling point to companies looking for cities to perform research and development.

“We want to protect the rights of citizens as Coeur d’Alene attracts robotics research and development on the roads … and also protect robots from human interruption with testing on public property,” Nick explained to city council in July.

Robots are already at the robotics team at Coeur d’Alene high schools.

Also, a computer numerical controlled (CNC) cutting machine was created at the Gizmo community makerspace in the city, he said.

Lastly on their agenda is obtaining a building where the Innovation Collective will meet and hold classes.

“The Innovation Collective won’t replace the university or the chamber but will fill the gaps in between,” he said.

Can’t Get Him Down Carson Magee raises nearly $5,000 for diabetes research with winning funnycar design. By Colin Anderson.

TYPE I DIABETES IS DRAINING. Those living with the currently incurable affliction are constantly monitoring blood sugar levels and taking shots of insulin every few hours. Eleven-year-old Carson Magee of Coeur d’Alene has been fighting the battle since he was diagnosed at the age of 7, but you’d never know it.

Carson is on a constant mission to raise awareness about this disease and willing to go to great lengths to help find a cure. He’ll ride his unicycle in fundraisers and get up extra early to share his story with the morning news programs. He’s traveled to Washington DC with other kids battling Type I Diabetes to pitch congress on funding research.

He’s met all of Idaho’s congressional delegation and is now on a first name basis with Governor Otter as the two work together on creating a diabetes awareness day in Idaho, and after all, what’s one more thing?

CAN-DO “I feel pretty special, I’ve learned in the last 4 years that one voice really can make a difference.”

This past March Carson decided to enter the ‘Our Everyday Heroes’ contest benefitting Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).

The contest was to create a design for a racecar that honors everyday heroes and raises money for research. Carson raised nearly $5,000 during his campaign and a few weeks ago, received a call from Funnycar driver Bob Tasca.

“He called me up and said they narrowed it down to 3 winners, and

www.lcsc.edu/cda

we were all on a conference call together,” recalls Carson. “After a long silence he started laughing and told me I won. He got me, but I was real happy.”

Carson recently traveled to Denver and was there when his design was revealed to the racing world.

He had his picture taken with the whole racing team, got to sit in the racecar, saw it whiz down the track and was even on national TV when an ESPN reporter interviewed him. While Carson reaped the rewards of winning a contest, it’s clear he’s not doing this for himself, but for other kids like him that are dealing with so much at such a young age.

While school is just around the corner, Carson says he’s started to plan another walk to raise money for JDRF and is also working on starting a club for local kids battling diabetes. While he’s seen and done more than most 11-year-olds will experience, he also clearly realizes the great affect he’s having in his community.

“I feel pretty special, I’ve learned in the last 4 years that one voice really can make a difference,” said Carson.

Fun at the Lake New trends offer excitement for all skill levels.

By Colin Anderson.

WATCHING A WATERSKIER drop from two skis down to one used to be one of the more exciting things beachgoers would see from shore. Faster boats have made tubing more of a rush, and the ever increasing popularity of wakeboarding allows riders to jump, spin, and flip over waves which at one time were never thought possible. As you look out from City Beach today you’ll notice more innovations in water sports, many of which just about anyone can do.

SUP – Stand-up Paddleboarding Perhaps the fastest growing water sport in our area, the popularity of Stand-up Paddleboards has exploded over the past few summers. The board is similarly shaped to a surfboard and is typically 10 to 12 feet long. It takes a bit to find your balance, but once you do you’re able to explore the lakeshore without having to swim for miles. Stand-up paddleboards are great for practicing your balance, and there are several instructors in the area who even teach yoga classes on the boards. The sport is expensive as you’re likely looking at over $1,000 for a board and paddle, but there are several places in town you can rent from including Kayak Coeur d’Alene, ROW Adventures, and Coeur d’Alene Paddleboard Company.

Wake-Surfing It used to be learning how to surf meant a trip to the ocean, but now surfers are riding never ending waves across area lakes.

Wake Surfing is kind of a cross between paddleboarding and wakeboarding. Riders have a short surfboard (typically about 5 feet) and are able to ease out behind a slow moving boat and surf the wake that’s created. To get on the wave, the boat starts by slowly pulling the surfer into the wake. As the wake size increases, the surfer drops the rope and lets the board do the rest of the work.

Flyboarding With this crazy new invention you can literally fly. Using highpressure water, users are able to lift themselves up to forty feet in the air. Water pressure is sent up a long hose and pushed through openings from underneath your feet and two additional controls strapped to your arms. While it may sound challenging, most instructors say you’ll have the basic movements down in just 5-10 minutes. Check out Flyboard Idaho’s website for more information (www.fbiws.com). To watch videos of all these water sports, head to www.cdaliving.com and click on the water sports story.

Newbie Angler?

Here’s some tackle advice.

By Dan Howard.

HOW DOES SOMEONE NEW to fishing gear up? There are many different options available, and it’s often difficult for a beginner to know what he or she should purchase. The three main things to consider are the rod, the reel, and the line.

Fishing Rod: A spinning rod can be mastered quickly, sometimes in just a couple of hours. Newer rods are light, and either fiberglass or graphite will perform well. The angler might want to consider a one piece rod.

A multiple piece rod will sometimes begin to come apart at the joint while fishing. If the hook is set when this happens, the pole may break at the joint.

Reel: Anti-reverse is a must. There is nothing more frustrating than a reel without it. It keeps the reel from reeling backwards. A spinning reel has a bail mechanism that allows the line to be released from the spool during the cast and retrieved while reeling the line back in. This bail is manually opened before each cast and automatically closed for reeling the line back in. Thoroughly test for this issue any reel you are considering before laying down your cash. The bail should close when you begin reeling no matter where the bail is when the reel handle is turned. Ask the salesman if there are questions.

The reel’s drag system should be ceramic or carbon fiber or a combination. Like the fishing rod, there is a line guide on the reel. The line guide can cause two different problems. First, it can wear a groove and begin fraying your line in the same way line guides on your rod can, and if it is not designed properly the fishing line will loop over it during the cast and when you begin reeling, the line will tangle around it.

Fishing line: Monofilament and fluorocarbon lines are very popular.

The biggest issue using these lines as a beginner is the memory of each line. The line is coiled onto a spool at the factory. If care is not taken when winding new line from the factory spool onto the spinning reel spool, the line can twist and knot up. Boaters can remove the coil memory by trolling with no lures or terminal tackle attached to the line and running 100 yards of line out the back of the boat. Non-boaters must just deal with the problem until the memory wears out of the line.

Line technologies have improved and now there are some alternative lines available. Braided line eliminates coil memory and does not stretch. They are available in multiple colors and most of them float.

This will allow you to see as well as feel bites. Tip the line with 4 to 5 feet of monofilament or fluorocarbon line to make your line invisible to the fish.

The main point is that solid and reliable equipment that is easy to use should make the experience more enjoyable and fun.

A tradition of music and community.

By Jocelyn Stott.

SINCE 1983, THE FESTIVAL AT SANDPOINT has served as the premier music event for North Idaho, featuring music of all genres – from its classical roots, to jazz, bluegrass, country, rock, blues and more. It seems almost improbable that the small community on the shores of Lake Pend Oreille could draw more than 20,000 music lovers to hear the likes of Emmy Lou Harris, Wynton Marsalis, Johnny Cash and June Carter, Lyle Lovett, and other such superstars over the years, but to the delight of listeners near and far, it has.

Organizers say the intimate setting and surrounding area are key to the longevity of the event. That, and a supportive community dedicated to the arts, is what keeps the tradition of The Festival alive.

The year 2014 is no exception. The 32nd Annual Festival at Sandpoint lineup this year includes: The Head and the Heart with Mikey and Matty; Huey Lewis and The News; Nickel Creek; Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue with Special Guest Galactic; Ray Lamontagne; Montgomery Gentry and the Spokane Symphony.

Concerts take place, August 7-17 at Memorial Field, 855 Ontario Street. Individual concert prices range from $6, which is a Family Night Concert, to about $60. See the Festival at Sandpoint website for more detailed information: FestivalatSandpoint.com.

In the early days of the Festival, the mission was to bring the sounds of classical symphony music to town, but the success of its early popularity gave rise to an expanding array of popular commercial music acts as well.

True to the mission – each year the Festival culminates with an open-air grand finale by the Spokane Symphony Orchestra.

Not only has the Festival at Sandpoint brought its yearly festival to the music lovers, it has also developed as a nonprofit organization that invests in local music talent and appreciation. The Festival at Sandpoint’s mission: “to make exceptional musicians and great performances accessible to the community and the surrounding region.”

In the years 1985-96, the Festival offered a summer music institute for advancing young professional musicians in the area of composition, chamber, jazz and conducting.

The Schweitzer Institute of Music, as it was called, was led by Maestro Gunther Schuller of the Spokane Symphony. Schuller is a recipient of a Pulitzer Prize for Music; A MacCarther Foundation “Genius Award” recipient; recipient of two Guggenheim Fellowships, as well as a three-time Grammy Winner.

The Festival at Sandpoint launched a Fifth Grade Music Outreach Program in 1999, which led the organization into a new educational direction. Through this outreach, private, public school and home school students in Bonner and Boundary Counties participate in music workshops from notable area musicians.

Also of benefit to local students is the Festival’s Instrument Assistance Program, which provides assistance getting musical instruments into the hands of local students who wish to play but may not be able to afford the cost. This program has also provided a number of instruments and guitars to area school music programs.

Area high school seniors who plan to continue their college studies in the areas of music and performing arts have also benefited from scholarships awarded by the Festival through support of area businesses and organizations. Another scholarship program, Angels Over Sandpoint Dance, provides up to $1,000 to area high schoolers (public, private or home-schooled) who wish to attend workshops, lessons or tuition toward furthering their dance, vocal and/or visual arts performance study.

Organizer Dyno Wahl says The Festival has had some ups and downs over the years, and in lean times the community has always pitched in to keep it going in recognition of its cultural and economic importance to our community.

In the early days of the Festival, the mission was to bring the sounds of classical symphony music to town, but the success of its early popularity gave rise to an expanding array of popular commercial music acts as well.

Says Dyno, “In 2001, we recognized that we would have to replace the Festival’s trademark tent which was purchased in 1984 to memorialize Festival founder Fred (Winifred) Kubiak who had died tragically in a car accident right before the first Festival that she had worked so hard to produce. We had a fundraising dinner right on stage so that our supporters could look up and see the holes in the tent and how badly it needing replacing. We raised $40,000 in one night and ordered the new tent the next day!”

Festival organizers begin handing out numbers around 8am and at intervals throughout the day, to about 300.

With each number, a person is allowed to receive a place in line for a party of 4. Spaces are limited to an 8’ by 8’ blanket/chair set up. Only low chairs are permitted in the blanket area, other lawn chairs are permitted behind the blanket area.

After the people with numbers are admitted, general admission begins. In other words – prepare for a line!

ShopinStyle Shop in Style THINK LOCAL, BUY LOCAL AND LIVE LOCAL.

BY PATTY HUTCHENS. IT IS SUMMER and the stores and streets are filled with tourists. Americans spend billions of dollars this time of year on travel, shopping and dining, and thousands of businesses are competing for your coveted dollar. While we as locals may find it tempting to choose a large box store and avoid the traffic that tourism brings, Living Local would like you to consider the benefits of shopping with your local small businesses. We realize that it’s not always possible to get everything you need or want from local retailers, but by supporting these businesses, you are not only helping out your friends and neighbors, but you are investing in your community.

Small business is what drives the local economy. Numerous studies have shown the majority of small business owners purchase goods and services from other small businesses in their area, keeping more dollars in the local community. These dollars are reinvested in the hiring of local workers, which in turn are more likely to reinvest their income into local businesses as well.

Instead of seasonal employment, strong local businesses are able to offer good paying jobs and promote from within as their business expands.

Many shoppers don’t consider the environmental impact of shopping online or at large retailers. By purchasing products made locally, you are helping reduce pollution from shipping and help reduce congestion and sprawl.

While many corporations sponsor large non-profit organizations such as the Red Cross and American Cancer Society, it is small businesses that help fund a little league soccer team, community anti-drug campaign, local cancer organizations and care for our local seniors. According to the organization Sustainable Connections, non-profits receive an average 250% more support from small business owners than they do from large businesses.

Perhaps the best part about supporting small business is the vast amount of unique choices you have. Our area is blessed with a creative blend of artists and entrepreneurs. You can pick up locally roasted coffee, handmade chocolates, infused olive oils and incredible baked goods. You can purchase a piece of custom-made furniture and a host of other unique items.

We encourage you to visit our town’s unique businesses and see what they have to offer. As a small local business ourselves, we are thankful to have their support of our publication’s growth and vision as the go to source for everything local. It might not always be possible but we ask that you; Think Local, Buy Local, and Live Local. Happy Shopping!

Middle-Aged Musings

Nothing is as easy as you want it to be. By Teresa Pesce.

This column is dedicated to the Middle-Aged among us, lost in society’s Bermuda Triangle between being young and being “older”, acknowledged only by ads selling them cosmetics to make them look young again and comfort bras to ease the inevitable triumph of gravity.

“IT’S EASY!” No it’s not. It never was. And it gets harder as time goes on. But what do you expect weight-loss marketers to tell you?

You’ll lose weight with this special drink or magic pill if you also drastically reduce your calories and work out beyond your comfort zone five days a week? Use this exercise device and develop abs (arms, thighs, buns) of steel if you also drastically reduce your calories and work out beyond your comfort zone five days a week?

If they said those things, some day it would occur to you that you don’t need to pay for the special drink, special pills or special exercise unit - you just need to eat less and work out more. Then all the weight-loss marketers would be out of business, and would sit home, eat too much

and get fat and out of shape, surrounded by crates of their unsold pills, drinks and exercise machines.

Losing weight is hard because eating is easy, pleasant, satisfying, and immediately rewarding and comforting. It’s also a lovely companion to sedentary pursuits like reading and watching TV. “Exercise” is a polite word for the crude process of pushing yourself as you pour sweat. Which would YOU rather do? And as our metabolism slows, the effects of eating double while the effects of exercise dwindle! The perfect in-shape middle-aged life? Less food than ever, more exercise than ever. It’s not easy. It never was. And it’s harder now. So respect the heck out of yourself for rising from your recliner to meet the

challenge. I certainly do.

The Day You Can’t Do It Anymore A man I knew was a terrific tennis player, and he and his son played often. Then, as his son got older, the father noticed it was taking more out of him to win the matches. One day he confided to a friend that he just wanted to be able to win until his son was 16 years old.

Then he would gracefully consent to losing.

Bill Cosby’s TV character, Dr. Cliff Huckstable, came home from jogging one day and said to his wife, “I saw nineteen today.” He meant he was jogging around the track, doing well, when he felt a machineprecision presence moving up behind him and then passing him, breathing at an even pace. It was a young man, 19 years old. And while Cliff Huckstable was still able to run, he couldn’t run like that anymore. His wife smiled and said, “Cliff, do you want to be nineteen again?” He replied, “Only if you’ll be nineteen with me.”

could do what I could do whenever I could do it.” This modern age of youth-worship makes us a little more disappointed in our older selves, I think.

It’s not a matter of lowering your expectations; it’s a matter of your expectations being realistic.

It’s not that we want to go back, it’s just that we’re a little surprised that we are not who we were. What do you do on the day you realize you can’t keep up with your former self? I asked a lovely woman in her eighties how she dealt with aging. She said, “I was just glad I

54 Coeur d’Alene Living Local | www.CDALiving.com

We judge our new selves harshly. We experience guilt and embarrassment. We exercise too hard or give up completely. And what is “too old?” For athletes, it can be 30.

For some Olympians, it’s their late teens!

Physically, men supposedly peak at 18! Play the numbers game and you will lose. It’s not a matter of lowering your expectations; it’s a matter of your expectations being realistic.

Abilities change but you can always be the best version of you, now. That’s enough of a challenge at any age! I’m no longer my harshest critic. Neither should you be yours.

Founder of Sandpoint Onstage, Teresa Pesce is dedicated to supporting and promoting everyone in our community with theatrical gifts, whose age is irrelevant and whose only “weight” is the impact of their art.

Aging in Place

A checklist. By Bruce Weaver, MPA, PA-C. Owner, AAging Better In-Home Care.

LIFE CAN CHANGE in a heartbeat. One moment a parent appears active and healthy and the next moment they need assistance. Changes like this are normally the result of aging, but when they hit home, it can feel like our parents have suddenly aged overnight.

According to AARP, more than 90 percent of people over 65 want to remain at home as they age. This popular trend is called “aging in place.”

But it doesn’t occur to many adult children (or the seniors themselves) just what is entailed to remain safely at home as we age.

Before committing to aging in place, a loved one’s current and future individual needs must be determined. Typically, as individuals age, frailty becomes a real problem for a majority of the elderly—and women in particular. Falling and breaking a hip is one of the major causes of death from injury in elderly females.

A simple checklist to help determine if the home can handle aging in place is a good way to start the conversation with elderly parents, especially if they are resistant to leaving their homes to live in an assisted living facility or nursing home.

Consider a parent’s temperament.

Are your parents self-sufficient and do they enjoy living alone? Are they active and willing and able to extend themselves to connect with others, or are they more introverted and prone to “getting along just fine by myself?” Some elderly folks are very uncomfortable with the idea of having someone come into their home to help them with chores or cook meals for them, while others are more amenable

to accepting help from individuals they don’t personally know. Among the former, these individuals would probably be better off in an assisted living facility in their own private quarters with access to care. But most other elderly would benefit from trained caregivers in the home to accomplish the chores, meals, laundry and shopping, thus enabling these folks to stay in the comfort of their own homes.

Evaluating the home itself. The safety and practical comfort of a home for an aging loved one is a major concern. Is the home all on one level or are there stairs that will need to be navigated? How will this be accomplished if a wheelchair is ever needed? Fortunately, north Idaho has a number of home modification companies that will evaluate a home for its safety, suggest changes that can be made to accommodate aging in place and then do the modifications.

The list can go on to include access to the home, such as the need for a ramp to the front door, or kitchen counter heights and accessibility to drawers and cupboards. Many of these considerations can be addressed successfully without the need for many, if any modifications, by hiring caregivers to provide the services of daily living to the elderly.

Moving seniors to nursing homes or assisted living facilities when they become too frail or sick to care for themselves at home is not the only answer in today’s world. Like home modification companies in north Idaho, there are also a number of home care companies available to keep seniors safe and effective at home for many years to come.

Serving the Greater Coeur d’Alene Area Our Certified Medical Professionals ensure that you or your loved ones maintain independence at home with a maximum level of safety and well-being.

“Island of Peace”

Your close-by summer getaway. Brought to you by Coeur d’Alene Hand Therapy and Healing Center.

WHEN MY PATIENTS TELL ME how stressed they are, I suggest they find an “island of peace.” Even if it’s only 15 minutes in a day that they set aside to enjoy. Do you have an island of peace? After all it is summer!

What ever happened to those long, lazy, “dog days” of summer? I always visualized those as days where people sat on their porches in the heat, sipping cool drinks, maybe a hound dog sleeping on the porch beside them and nothing to do. HAH! Let’s face it, winter in North Idaho is hibernation time and it lasts well into spring. We have summers of long light – short night. Like that saying “North Idaho has 4 seasons: winter, more winter, spring and road construction.”

People try to cram in every last event and activity into these short months.

Family and friends visit, there are trips, yard work, and then, if it gets hot, who has the energy to move? When we were at a BBQ recently (feeling BBQ’d) someone said that men sweat, women “glisten.” I replied “You are glistening all right - and your glisten is dripping off your nose!”

My neighbor and I like to sit by the pool after a long day and cool off, decompress with conversation (or not), maybe add in some fruit and ice tea or maybe hard lemonade, glass of wine, whatever suits us. Actually our “pool” is a baby pool with our Adirondack chairs pulled up to it under her maple tree. From there we can observe the neighborhood in relative obscurity. It’s like having your own personal and secret window to the world.

It started because she thought her lab might like to play in a little water.

Labs like water - right? Well her lab loves to slurp a few gulps and then

Yes!

joyfully slobber on my arm (oh well it acts as a natural bug repellant). He plays with the sprinkler or chases the water from the hose, but is he going to get in the pool? No way!

His other favorite game is to steal our sandals - a great chew toy.

I have always thought outdoor pools in North Idaho were a waste of time and money. The season is too short or too cold, it’s a lot of work to keep the pine needles, animals and people out of the pool and we have great lakes close by. In addition to being cheap, our little poolside spot is convenient. You don’t have to pack up the car, drive, find a place to park, jockey for a place on the beach, get sand in everything, or have the joy of exposing yourself in a swimsuit. It’s just a little corner of heaven, a poolside chat with good company. What more could you ask?

Whether it is a long or fancy vacation, a “stay-cation” at home or a little hideaway… relax, review the day, complain, inspire … whatever you desire. Find your little “island of peace” and enjoy a great, if short, summer.

I want to be flexible, out of pain and active!

Paragon Brewing

Crafted Taphouse + Kitchen

Eating Out

Summer brought some great new choices.

By Jamie Lynn Morgan.

The Fork at Lakeside

AS SUMMER BEGAN here in picturesque Coeur d’Alene, three new restaurants also welcomed summer with open arms. Each one has something different to offer diners whether it is their beer selection, atmosphere, or unique food items.

It is an intimate dining experience with bistro style food choices, and if you go you must try one of their made from scratch desserts. Tom and I shared the Ida-Berry Pie with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, and you could definitely tell it was fresh. It was delicious!

Crafted Taphouse + Kitchen:

Paragon Brewing:

This industrial style restaurant opened Car d’Lane weekend, and the crowds haven’t really subsided yet; not surprising considering they have 50 different craft beer choices, a huge outdoor patio, and they are located downtown on the corner of 6th and Sherman Ave.

This new brewpub is located on Government Way in the building that Sully’s used to be found. They currently carry a good selection of Northwest craft beer, and once they build their 2000 square foot brewing facility next door to the brewpub they will also have their own brews on tap.

Menu choices include your usual pub fare with burgers, salads, and more. On a recent visit with a friend, she was excited to see a few vegetarian options on the menu and promptly cleaned her plate at our lunch meeting. I ordered one of the burgers and soon realized that this big juicy burger was going to be a challenge to eat without unhinging my jaw (so be aware these are no regular burgers).

As with Crafted Taphouse, they have some great outdoor seating with a patio that sits in the back of the pub and away from traffic. All of their food choices are beer inspired, which make for great pairings with regional beers.

I will be back to try out more of their menu items at a later date!

The Fork at Lakeside: On their website they refer to themselves as “a fine dining experience. Servicing downtown Coeur d’Alene, we offer a romantic & hospitable atmosphere in an elegant setting.”

I agree with their description as my husband and I recently enjoyed a nice lunch date there. It reminded me of what the Wine Cellar originally was when we had our 10 year anniversary there 13 years ago.

16 oz. huckleberries, cleaned, washed and drained 4 egg whites 7/8 C (200g) sugar 1T lemon juice ½ C (100g) ground almonds Powdered sugar

PutItTogether: Mix together all the ingredients for the shortbread base; with cool hands knead the dough. Form into a ball, wrap with aluminum foil and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 10” springform pan. Roll out shortbread to uniform thickness in a circle larger than the pan; press into the bottom of the pan with the excess dough up the inside about 1-1/2 inches. Bake for 15 minutes; do not remove springform at this time.

Beat the egg whites until stiff, then gradually add sugar and lemon juice. Reserving 3T of the huckleberries and ground almonds, fold the remaining berries and nuts into the meringue. Place this topping on the shortbread base (still in the springform pan); top with the reserved berries and almonds. Bake for about 40-50 minutes at 350° or until done. (If the topping starts getting too brown, cover with aluminum foil).

We offer a variety of fishwiches, fish and chips, salads, snacks and sushi.

Stop in and dine with us today or take something TO GO!

Allow to cool and then carefully remove torte from springform pan.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.

Paul Bunyan Days Weekend getaway. By Colin Anderson.

LABOR DAY MARKS THE UNOFFICIAL END TO SUMMER. Vacations are wrapping up, kids are going back to school, and the long warm nights of summer are getting shorter with each passing day. It’s because of this St. Maries throws its annual farewell to summer party in honor of the town’s rich tradition in forestry.

The logging town of roughly 2,400 residents comes together each year to throw a 3-day bash that draws more than double the usual amount of people to this hard working town. The bulk of the festivities take place downtown in the city park where a carnival is erected, complete with rides, elephant ears, fry bread, cotton candy, games, local arts and crafts, and everything else you might find at a state or county fair. It’s open from the morning until late into the evening so there is always something going on to entertain the kids.

If you feel like your inner Paul Bunyan wants to come out, sign up for the logging events and get a feel for what work in the woods is all about. Partner up for the cross saw competition or try and keep your balance on the log roll. See if you can bulls eye an axe in the axe throwing contest. If you’re not feeling brave enough to challenge the locals, there are plenty of good seats to watch how the real loggers get it done.

What puts Paul Bunyan Days on the map is their claim of having Idaho’s biggest topless bar; ‘The Blue Ox.’ This is an adult’s only area, but don’t be intimidated by the name. It’s actually a gigantic beer garden wrapped in blue tarps and without a roof, making it a topless bar. A fun game is to stand by the entrance and watch college guys from Moscow and Pullman enter The Blue Ox and see their facial expression change when the version in their head of ‘biggest topless bar in Idaho’ isn’t exactly what they find. To get a drink you’ll have to purchase chips, and anyone you see flaunting beads has purchased at least $10 worth. You won’t find anything fancy here, just your standard domestics as well as inexpensive wine and a few flavored malt beverages, but you can get a plastic pitcher filled up and take it home with you as a souvenir.

At night there is live classic rock and dancing as well.

Another place to dance the night away is at the annual Car Club Dance which is held on Saturday evening. This is one of the more popular events of the weekend especially for those who have been enjoying the ‘Blue Ox’ for much of the day. The dance is just below the carnival in a large aqua colored building, and if you can’t find it, just listen for the music or ask someone to point you in the right direction.

What’s absolutely not to be missed at Paul Bunyan Days is the fireworks display at dusk on Sunday night. The show rivals anything in the region. The best spot to view the show is on the hillside just below the carnival, but don’t expect to get a spot fifteen minutes before show time. People start laying out their blankets and staking their claim as early as Friday so if you plan on getting a prime seat, get there early. Proceeds from The Blue Ox go directly to the fireworks display, so the more beer that’s guzzled, the bigger the display. The show can last up to a half an hour and it’s usually paired with ground displays and music. The finale lights up the sky and you’re in such close proximity to the launch
