Celebrating Those Important People in our

there are those people in our lives

we couldn’t live without; those who love us, support us, and help us overcome obstacles we face—especially the past two years when everyone’s world was turned upside down. As our everyday lives are filled with obligations, we may not always remember to take the time to reach out to—and thank—those we hold dear to us, and share a simple, heartfelt “I love you.”

CLEAN ENERGY for a CLEAN WORLD Going solar has a wide range of benefits. Whether your focus is economic, environmental, or personal, solar is a clean renewable process that uses the most natural resource – the sun – while keeping money in your pocket.

For many, Mom may be the first person to come to mind. This is the woman who nurtured us, showing unconditional love. She read to us, bandaged and kissed our scrapes, tucked us in at night, and remained a constant in our lives from day one. For some, it may have been another woman in their lives who filled this role, whether it be a grandmother, an aunt or a dear family friend. Mother’s Day is a day to not just celebrate mothers but those women who served and sacrificed to fulfill our needs and took great care in seeing us to adulthood—though their love never waivers as our lives continue and we create families of our own.

Lives

We follow up celebrating Mom with a celebration and acknowledgment of our fathers; those strong male role models who continually support us, praise us, teach us, while complementing their partner in raising independent, self-sufficient, honorable adults.

Whether it was Dad, Grandad or Uncle who filled this role, or that coach or teacher who holds a significant place in your life, a kind gesture and sharing of your gratefulness means more to these men than you can ever know.

A sincere thank you to all of those men and women who continue to show up every day to help raise caring, compassionate children who will one day lead our communities—and our country. And may we not forget to remember and honor those who fought to create a better life, and world, for us all, this Memorial Day.

Patio vs.

COEUR D’ALENE LIVING LOCAL may/june march/april 2022 2022

When daydreaming about your new and improved outdoor space that both enhances your day-

to-day living environment while adding value to your home, what comes to mind? Are you hosting friends and family around a fire pit in your backyard under a starry sky, or are you sitting comfortably in a rocking chair or in a hot tub in a semi-enclosed space (away from the elements), surrounded by elevated wood platforms, stairs, railings, a grill and an awning or add-on roof overhead? If you find yourself dreaming more about the former, you might want to invest in building yourself a patio. If you’re dreaming about the latter for your space and aren’t afraid to invest your time and hard-earned cash into your build, a deck might be for you.

When contemplating this important question, one must first think about cost versus value of the build, along with the time and effort your build might take. A typical deck under 200 square feet can average between $3,000 and $14,000 depending on the complexity of the design.

There is a 76 percent return on investment for a wooden deck on average, higher than all indoor home renovations. On the other hand, a typical patio build is often much less expensive but adds value to your home. A patio can also get more complicated and expensive depending on how level the ground is where you want to build.

So, still not sure if you would rather build a deck or patio? The following list of pros and cons for both types of projects may help you to decide: The pros of adding a deck: • Decks are popular outdoor living spaces for homeowners who enjoy hosting, grilling and relaxing. Building a deck can add a higher resale value to your home. Financially, they can be a great investment and will boost property value.

• A deck is ideal for building on flat or uneven terrain. They can be installed on most types of land and can add stability to your home.

• A deck is easily customizable and is comfortable in the heat, with awnings and other shading opportunities protecting you from the elements.

think ... cost vs. value • Since most decks are built higher off the ground, a deck offers up the the possibility of adding better views from your home.

• You can keep some items up and away from wildlife by placing them on the deck.

Cons to building a deck: • A deck, depending on the type and weight of material used, often requires more maintenance. Traditional decks are made of wood, and they are usually heavy. Decks can also be made from composite materials, which require less maintenance than wood decks.

• A deck built without a solid foundation can become unstable over time. If a deck built by the previous owner of your home wasn’t properly maintained, the wood may have rotted, nails may be exposed and joints may be loose.

• Building a deck can be expensive. The national average cost to install a new deck is $7,696, but the typical range is $4,160 to $11,257. Professional decking companies typically charge between $15 and $35 a square foot for an average-size deck. While price depends on the types of materials used in your build, decks are usually expensive with the average cost of $30 per square foot of high-end decking material.

• For every deck build, it’s important to water seal and protect your deck with different stains and sealers to keep your deck in pristine condition. Consider deck joist tape, 24

COEUR D’ALENE LIVING LOCAL may/june 2022

a clear waterproofing wood-protecting sealant, liquid rubber, coil stock (for metal), or old motor oil to protect your joists. Decks often need to be power washed, stained and weather-sealed to be protected from the elements.

This will most likely need to occur every couple of years.

Decks often have short lifespans, requiring a bit more tender love and care than some are willing to provide.

• Homeowners may need a permit from the town or city, prior to building, with possible fees and a waiting period.

This can be a simple or lengthy process depending on where you live.

The pros of building a patio: • Patios are generally less expensive. Installing a patio flush to the ground can cost much less than a deck. It’s roughly $5 a square foot. Concrete is usually the least expensive option.

• Patios are much more easily maintained. While you may choose to seal your patio from the elements, it’s not necessary. Concrete, pavers, marble and stone materials are extremely durable.

• A quality patio build allows for flexibility in design, often allowing for more privacy. Proper landscaping can increase this privacy.

A Q U A L I T Y PAT I O B U I L D A L L O W S F O R FLEXIBILITY IN DESIGN.

• Installing a patio typically does not require a building permit or inspection.

The cons of building a patio: • Patios are not designed to be built on uneven terrain. They are better suited for flatter spaces, and the cost for creating a level foundation is very high.

• There is more of a risk of patio cracking if the ground under the concrete was not properly prepared. Cracking is also likely in areas of extreme temperatures and adverse weather.

• There is an easier chance of people slipping on a patio. In colder areas, ice can easily form on a patio’s surface and raise the risk of falling. Also, water on a patio can have the same effect.

• When a patio is exposed to harsh weather, it can be stained by nearly every element including mud, mildew and other natural environmental factors like leaves or grass.

Pristine patios require some upkeep with frequent cleaning.

• Patios may require more intensive construction depending on type of land or ground movement needed, or added features like gazebos, pools or spas.

Whether you decide to build a patio or deck, make sure that it’s right for you and your home. Also, make sure to take proper precautions to ensure that your build is safe. It may be a good idea to invest in property insurance to make sure you are covered in the event of an incident.

Sustainable Resources Six simple tips for greener living

by RACHEL KELLY

C

aring for our environment goes both ways.

When we care for our surroundings we thrive from an environment that returns that care in abundance. When we are responsible with our resources, we will always have what we need. It can be overwhelming, within our current circumstances, to know exactly how to be responsible with our resources.

The problem can seem too big. We do have to live after all, and we would preferably like to live in comfort.

This means that we use resources. We are a valuable part of the environment, and so it stands to reason that we would also use the environment’s resources.

The question is how to do so responsibly? Taking what we need and giving back what we don’t? When talking about sustainability, it all adds up. Every step, every bit, counts. At times, our decisions have positive global consequences. Especially when our daily decisions are a normal part of the everyday way of living life. Here are a few steps to make your home and energy use count.

Rethink Lighting There’s no reason to reduce the amount of lighting that you have or are used to. Rethinking how you get it though reduces your energy usage while making a more pleasant environment. Additional windows in closed spaces is the most obvious renovation but is not always possible.

However, the use of LED light bulbs is incredibly inexpensive and saves money every time you turn on the switch. Another easy change is installing dimmer switches in heavily used areas for customizable lighting. There are other slight modifications too, such as solar-charging outdoor lighting (they turn on automatically!) or the placement of tea lights in dark hallways.

T h i n k Te m p e r a t u re The largest use of energy in any home is usually heating and cooling.

Switching how we think of temperature can reduce our energy use and bring down that energy bill. It would be great if everyone could utilize solar (sun) or turbine (water) power, however, that’s not always accessible. The easiest way to bring down costs is proper insulation and ventilation. So, this means updated windows and vents, and added insulation in the walls. Simple inexpensive installations such as a dormer fan put ventilation to work for you by moving air. This only costs a few hundred dollars but saves you several times that every year.

may/june 2022 COEUR D’ALENE LIVING LOCAL

29

H a c k Yo u r L i f e s t y l e Part of a greener, more sustainable lifestyle means making small changes to everyday life. There are lots of simple changes that we can bring about in the day to day that make big differences in our local ecosystem. Simple non-toxic cleaners such as antibacterial vinegar water (sometimes with a few drops of essential oil) and baking soda scrub clean just as well, and sometimes better, than mainstream cleaners, and at a quarter of the cost.

Laundry strips instead of jugs of detergent keep plastic out of the ocean. Whatever the damage, there’s always an easier, cheaper alternative that preserves our natural resources.

I n d o o r Wa t e r It’s difficult to use less water, especially if you have a family. In the past, each family member would wash in the same water to limit the number of times one individual would have to re-heat the water. I think we’d all like to avoid that extreme. Simple ways to be more sustainable with our indoor water use is to install a faucet filter to cut down on water bottles. There are also shower heads and faucet heads that can be installed that reduce water usage, as well as the low-cost installation of a dual-flush conversion kit for the toilets.

Reduce rather than reuse is the strategy for indoor water use.

O u t d o o r Wa t e r We use a lot of water to keep our homes looking nice, and a manicured look doesn’t have to be sacrificed for the sake of “living green.” An overhaul of our yards to greenery that resembles our environment would be the logical step, but such a change requires time and money. An easy sustainable step would be the re-use of water that we all already possess. A rain barrel can collect water from drains and can be filled with a simple filtration system to recycle gray water. While the water from the rain barrel isn’t drinkable, it is usable in the yard and garden.

Aw a re n e s s This may seem like a simple concept, but awareness of where our products come from and the kind of lifestyle we live can lead to global change. Simple things like recycling plastic wrap through local services, or cutting down on the use of plastic wrap all together by using foil, sticky paper or bees wrap. Changes like the willingness to buy clothing from thrift stores cuts down on waste from an industry that causes entire cities to suffer from toxic pollution. These small changes pay off in global benefits and are an easy way to make lasting change. All those small steps really do add up.

HAMILTON HOUSE Local treasure saved from demolition now listed on the National Register of Historic Places

by JILLIAN CHANDLER

T

he state of Idaho is still relatively young compared to other states. Coeur d’Alene didn’t become a town until 1887; a city with an elected mayor in 1906. “And during the big timber boom between 1900 and 1920, Coeur d’Alene grew by over 1,000 percent!” states Deborah Mitchell.

Many beautiful homes were built during this time, including the Hamilton House, which sits at 627 Government Way in the historic Forest Heights neighborhood.

In the spring of 2019, Deborah read an article in the Coeur d’Alene Press about the county commissioners’ plan to tear down the longstanding Hamilton House to build a modern office building.

“Growing up here in the ‘60s and ‘70s, most people knew that elegant house as the Hawkins’ home. Agnes and William Hawkins were pillars of the community,” she recalls. “When it became the law office of Romer Brown about 1975, my brother had a real estate upstairs office for a while.”

When the neighborhood petition had failed to halt the plans for demolition, Deborah felt compelled to uncover the history of the home.

Deborah wasn’t alone. When Cindy Nunn discovered that the home was set for demolition, she remembers, “All I could think was that this beautiful old home needed to be documented with photographs and a history before it was gone forever.”

She made an appointment with the County to gain access to take the photos, and she also began researching the history of the home.

“This is when I found out that Deborah was also researching the house and that the petition had failed because nobody was able to provide a compelling historical reason for saving the house,” details Cindy. “They didn’t even know when it had been built or by whom.” This is when Deborah and Cindy teamed up and took on the challenge.

“We knew this was our calling, our mission, when we started to learn about the original history of the house and the important role it played in the formation of Coeur d’Alene as a city,” shares Cindy.

“ We knew this was our calling, our mission, when we started to learn about the original history of the house and the important role it played in the formation of Coeur d’Alene as a city.”

Good News

Deborah adds, “The call deepened once we learned that Boyd Hamilton, the second mayor, had the house built on what was part of the original Fort Sherman grounds.”

After months of intensive work and research, the pair convinced the County to sell the house instead of tearing it down, and Cindy and Deborah began the laborious task of writing the full application required to get the Hamilton House listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

On October 9, 2020, after more than a year of trying to raise awareness and funds to stop the Hamilton House from demolition, local businessman Donald “Pepper” Smock and Mayor Steve Widmyer purchased the property for $501,000—saving the home and allowing it to continue its long legacy.

“With so much of Coeur d’Alene’s history being bulldozed by property developers and lost before it can be properly recorded, what normally might seem like a minor win has become a major victory,” affirms Cindy. “This was about more than saving a house. It helped to preserve the aesthetic and physical integrity of the historic Forest Heights neighborhood. It could be said that Hamilton House acts as a buffer zone, creating a demarcation between Forest Heights and the rapid modernization taking place downtown. This feels like a much-needed triumph for those who value and appreciate history, setting an example for others that, with enough determination and tenacity, you can fight and win.”

Deborah and Cindy are considered the Historians of Record for the Hamilton House, and throughout the entire nomination process, the pair worked closely with the Idaho State Preservation Office. “Matt Halitsky, Dan may/june 2022 COEUR D’ALENE LIVING LOCAL

Everhart and Jason Tippeconnic Fox provided valuable support, guidance and assistance,” says Cindy. “We would have been lost without them.”

Truly a project led by passion and commitment, the women spent hundreds of hours editing, compiling and finalizing the application before submitting it. And their work was not in vain. In October 2021, a little more than a year after the house’s future was secured, the Boyd and Alta Hamilton House was listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).

Cindy and Deborah feel a deep sense of pride seeing this beautiful house, a part of Coeur d’Alene’s early history, still standing—and formerly recognized as a historic piece of Coeur d’Alene’s history. And they would love to see a plaque hanging outside the door. “After so much hard work, the house deserves a plaque of recognition.

We are hoping that the owners or a historical society will help us to acquire one,” smiles Cindy.

She adds that a common concern from locals is “Coeur d’Alene history disappearing under the bulldozers of developers.” As she can attest, “It’s noble to be concerned but is wasted emotion if you aren’t prepared to act and do something. We saw yet another beautiful historic building getting ready to become a parking lot and decided to be proactive. Instead of crying on social media, we actively fought against the demolition of Hamilton House” —and succeeded.

Deed restrictions require that Hamilton House only be used to operate a nonprofit or a museum. Today, the house is home to the Music Conservatory of Coeur d’Alene. Donations help to keep the doors open and preserve the house for future generations.

Fifth Grade | Fernan STEM Academy

F

ernan STEM Academy is unique to the Coeur d’Alene School District. About 400 kids ages kindergarten through fifth grade attend the school that has a focus on science, technology, engineering and math. There are special instructors in various subjects but also more traditional grade-level teachers such as our teacher in the spotlight, Courtney Greene, whose two decades of teaching experience are a great asset to the school.

Courtney shares what it’s been like being a teacher and the fulfillment it brings her.

Q. How long have you been a teacher?

A. 21 years.

Q. What is it that you enjoy most or find the most rewarding about teaching?

A. The relationships I build with my students and seeing them grow both socially and academically.

Q. Can you recall an experience that stands out most in your mind from your time as a teacher?

A. I will never forget the look on the face of our bus driver when 60 kids loaded onto the bus after a day spent digging water potatoes in a foot-and-a-half of mud.

Q. What is something parents, or the general public, might be surprised to learn about the teaching profession?

A. No matter what is planned or how great the purchased curriculum, students drive the dayto-day lessons in a classroom. Our lesson plans and instruction is constantly changing to meet each student’s needs.

Q. As a teacher, you are much more than someone who instructs in a specific subject, you are a role model for your students as well.

If you could share one life lesson with your students, what would it be?

A. Love yourself, because your relationship with yourself is the only one you cannot end.

“Our lesson plans and instruction is constantly changing to meet each student’s needs.”

Myah Rietze, Senior Coeur d’Alene High School

W

hile all high school students go through adversity and difficult times, Myah Rietze had a junior year that nearly altered her entire life. A traumatic medical illness would land her in intensive care for two weeks. More than 30 doctors and nurses helped get her through it, but her recovery was only just beginning.

“As an athlete trying to get strong and come back to play, the struggle wasn’t just physical.

I was out of school for two months, missing classes and away from friends, and the mental struggle through that time was difficult,” Myah shared. “I didn’t feel myself, physically or emotionally, for nearly six months. This experience, although traumatizing, was also somehow inspiring.”

The experience from the care she received has inspired Myah to pursue a degree in medicine, specifically in child psychology. “Through education, research, advocacy and medical

Myah will pursue her studies at Carroll College in Helena, Montana, where she will also compete on the school’s soccer team.

Myah earned letters all four years in both soccer and track, and was named Midfielder of the Year, Defender of the Year, and also put on the Region 1 All-League team for soccer during her sophomore, junior and senior seasons. She credits many of the coaches she’s worked with for helping her not only develop her skills but her confidence as well. “In both track and soccer, I’ve had coaches who sometimes believed in me more than I believed in myself. Their confidence helped me play to my potential. I am forever grateful for the unwavering support and encouragement of my coaches.”

Myah served as the ASB president, is a National Honor Society member, and is also ranked in the Top 10 of her class academically. She enjoys being involved in many aspects of high school and is looking forward to enrolling in college this fall. She’s also happy to be able to continue to compete in her favorite sport. “I love being a part of a soccer team. The strongest friendships I have are with girls I have been playing soccer with my whole life. I also love that soccer is a universal game. No matter what country you are in around the world, there will always be another soccer player to kick around a ball with,” she said.

Naomi Booth, Senior Lake City High School

N

aomi Booth has been around the sport of wrestling since a young age. Her father and many in her extended family wrestled at Post Falls High School and all did very well competing.

When she walked into Lake City High School as a freshman, she decided that, although she wouldn’t compete on the mat, she would make wrestling an important part of her high school experience.

“Joining the team was terrifying,” she recalled. “All of a sudden I’m a tiny and cautious freshman on a bus with a bunch of high school boys (and a couple girls), and I didn’t really know anyone, and I honestly didn’t even really know where we were going.

But I paid attention, and I went further and further out of my comfort zone, and it gradually got easier and still gets easier.”

Now a senior, Naomi spent all four years as a manager for the team, helping out wherever

she can. Her experience has built lasting friendships and, being one of the few females around the program, she’s learned to both step out of her comfort zone and to become a more confident person. “I think I’ve developed into a much more outgoing and leader-like version of myself that I wouldn’t have without going out of my comfort zone and joining the team as a freshman. It’s given me a lot of opportunities and freedoms, and I really have become much more confident in myself and my place in the world,” she stated.

Naomi enjoys wrestling because, while it’s individually based, there is an entire wrestling community that gravitates to the sport. Watching competitions, practices, and being an important member of the team, she’s learned that hard work and a good character really do mean more in the long run than just having raw talent. “Attitude is more important to the people watching and to you yourself than how easy good things come to you,” she said.

Naomi is still pondering her post-high school experience. She’s considering taking a year off before attending college, likely in Idaho or Montana. She enjoys kids and could envision herself as an elementary school teacher, but isn’t yet set on a future career path. As far as her experience with Lake City wrestling, it’s one she’s thankful to have had.

“I think I’ve made a difference in the team, and I’m very glad I stuck around and am thankful for the space I found on the team.

I’ve never had to worry about acting perfect.

I just do my job the best I can.”

SMOOTH OPERATOR Syd Young on to building his DreamBoats

COEUR D’ALENE LIVING LOCAL may/june 2022

encouragement of his wife Julie, Syd decided to restart StanCraft.

Within just a few years, Syd would go from refurbishing old boats to designing some of the highest caliber boats around.

“When I was 9 years old, I was taught how to do ‘wood dough,’ which is what is used over screw holes on the bottom of a boat. One day I was playing around on the top of a 34-foot boat my dad was building, and my dad stopped me and said, ‘You need to pay attention,’” Syd recalled. “From that day as a 9-year-old, I did. I went every day to the boat shop and learned the trade from all the different employees who were skilled in every aspect of boat building. I built my first boat, almost completely by myself with just a little help from my uncle Merlin, at age 14.”

“I’m still pushing the envelope. Having something that’s pleasing to the eye is important, but it all starts at the bottom of the boat,” stated Syd.

Syd would spend some time in the Air Force before returning to Montana and eventually purchasing the business from his father in 1970. Economic conditions and a new luxury tax around 1980 slowed the high-end boat industry, and Syd ended up closing the doors to StanCraft. A move to Post Falls in 1984, and with the

Syd has been awarded several times for his hull designs, which he’s spent his life perfecting. Each design is unique, having to balance the length of the boat with engine power, weight and capacity. There’s not much in the way of testing the design until the boat is complete and takes on its first chop on the water. “I’m always improving them,

He would eventually sell StanCraft to his daughter and son-in-law in 2008, but Syd’s love of design and desire to put in a solid day’s work has never wavered.

This is where Syd Young hopes to continue to stand out with his new venture: DreamBoats Inc. Design continues to be Syd’s favorite aspect of the boat building industry, and with more than 60 years’ experience, he’s hell-bent on making the smoothest riding boats in the world.

t 78 years old, most of Sydney “Syd” Young’s peers are comfortably retired. Syd, however, isn’t so interested in that and is instead building the company that he’s always dreamed of. Syd’s father Stanley founded StanCraft boats in Lakeside, Montana, in 1933. An icon in the wooden boat industry, not just in the Northwest but across the globe, Syd can recall the early days and his introduction to the industry.

“I built my first boat,

ALMOST COMPLETELY BY MYSELF WITH JUST A LITTLE HELP FROM MY UNCLE MERLIN, AT AGE 14.”

but there was an 8-year period in the ‘90s where we really dialed it in, developed new lines, and really the world’s most perfect boat bottom,” he said.

DreamBoats Inc. is currently run out of several shops on Syd’s Post Falls property. Alongside longtime mechanic and friend Terry, as well as a few other experienced builders, the company is currently making just a couple boats per year. Syd also continues to restore older wooden boats. He has several projects going including a 50s Chris-Craft in which the original engine was just recently located some 25 years later, and a stunning 30-plus foot 1917 Faye & Bowen that will be an absolute eye-catcher once refurbishing is complete. While he will continue to refurbish, and in some cases improve the ride of vintage boats, Syd hopes to add another five to six people to his team and focus on building a handful of custom DreamBoats each year.

“I’ve had 35 people working under me before; this time I don’t’ want to be big, I just want to be real good,” he said.

Syd is in the process of reacquiring the original StanCraft operations shop located on Seltice Way in Post Falls. It will have all the space he needs to expand DreamBoats Inc. as he’s envisioned it.

While older boats are beautiful to look at, many have a very rough ride due to the design of their hull. Some new high-end wooden boats have implemented the latest technology, bells and whistles, and offer a more comfy ride. For Syd, it’s all about making a standout design, a comfortable cockpit, but most importantly the smoothest ride possible. “I’d rather take my boats out on a rough day on the lake any day. We will be the nicest riding boats available, and I will put my boats up against anything in the world,” he said.

While Syd does plan to do more travel in the coming years, his focus remains on the craft in which he’s dedicated his life.

Retirement is probably a word he won’t ever use. “The running joke in the family is: ‘Is this the last boat?’ The one I tip over working on will probably be the last boat for me,” he laughed.

CAR D’LANE Coeur d’Alene’s classic car weekend returns this June for three da y s o f f a m i l y f u n

T

his June, the Coeur d’Alene Downtown Association invites car enthusiasts to “jump back in time” as the Car d’Lane classic car weekend returns! From June 16 through 18, guests will have the chance to experience the largest classic car cruise in North Idaho, take an up-close look at one-of-a-kind cars, and enjoy a weekend of family friendly classic fun.

The Car d’Lane weekend will begin with a Sunset Spin the evening of Thursday, June 16. The experience will allow guests to take their cars along a scenic cruise featuring views of the lake, Coeur d’Alene River, and 4th of July Pass. The night’s destination will be the oldest restaurant in Idaho, the Snake Pit, known for its excellent barbecue offerings and location rich with Silver Valley history.

Another unique experience offered Thursday evening, the Speakeasy Fundraiser for Arts and Culture, hosted by the Museum of North Idaho and Coeur d’Alene Arts, will present a prohibition-themed evening of specialty cocktails, live music and gambling—a perfect spot for a nightcap before Friday’s main cruise.

The Friday of Car d’Lane weekend will involve two car cruises, beginning with Tour d’Lane taking the streets from 10am to 2pm for a new, exclusive cruise event.

“With pit stops at Classic Garage Automobile Restoration to check out restoration processes and a new state-of-the-art quick boat launch facility at Hagadone Marine, your appetite will thank you when you stop by the new brewery in town for a barbecue lunch,” according to the Coeur d’Alene Downtown Association. may/june 2022 COEUR D’ALENE LIVING LOCAL may/june 2022 COEUR D’ALENE LIVING LOCAL

Then, the highly anticipated classic cruise will take place Friday night through the streets of downtown Coeur d’Alene. “Spectators will feel the rumbling engines, see roaring flames, and hear the beeping of old-style horns as the cars parade through the downtown corridor.” The cruise will begin with westward travel from Lakeside on Eighth Street.

Saturday, June 18, will close out the weekend with a selection of unique events and spectating opportunities, including a Poker Walk across downtown businesses, a Pinup Contest, and the Show & Shine, which offers an up-close look at the weekend’s unique classic cars as they line Sherman Avenue.

Specialized sections of the show will offer additional perspectives on the realm of classic cars. This year, Special Interest Lane will offer a look at a limited number of specialized, unique vehicles crafted in 1981 or later. There, new race cars and high-performance cars will be the highlight.

Builders aged 25 and younger will have their place to shine during Saturday’s show at the Young Builders Alley, showcasing cars and automotive projects competing for the Young Builder Award.

The weekend will culminate in an Awards Ceremony Saturday afternoon. Trophies will go to the Best of Classics in each decade dating from the 1930 through 1980s, with additional categories including Best Muscle Car, Best “Old School” Hot Rod, American Sports Car, Slickest Paint, and more.

Car d’Lane is free for all spectators. For any age and any level of classic car expertise, Car d’Lane is guaranteed to provide an exciting and unique weekend of fun! The full schedule of events will be provided by the Coeur d’Alene Downtown Association on social media and at CdADowntown.com.

NORTH IDAHO REALTORS HELPING CLIENTS THROUGH CHALLENGING MARKET b y CO L I N A N D E RS O N

B

efore the 1980s, the Idaho panhandle was a fairly sleepy place. Many families made their living off the land whether by farming, mining, or the timber industry.

A small wave of big-city dwellers discovered the area and decided to uproot their families and take root in the smaller communities North Idaho offers. As the popularity of Schweitzer grew and the building of the Coeur d’Alene Resort in 1986, the area began to take shape as a tourist destination.

As more visitors came to the area, they were also taken by the scenery and slower pace of life. While growth continued through the ‘90s and 2000s, the past two years are like nothing the area has ever seen.

“We are a great place to live that is no longer a secret,” says Sarah McCracken, a Realtor with Blue Door Realty Keller Williams in Coeur d’Alene. “Our beautiful landscape and ample opportunities to recreate will always make this a desirable area to live.”

While the scenery and recreational opportunities have always driven people to the panhandle, a new swath of residents are moving in due to many other factors. These include purchasing a retirement or vacation home, or real estate investment, and families leaving larger markets because of personal politics or the global pandemic’s impact on the workforce, with many salaried workers now able to work from home. The ability to make major market income while residing in an area like the panhandle, where the cost of living is much lower, has wreaked havoc on the local real estate market. With already low inventory and low interest rates, the market has become one of the most competitive in the U.S. “Buyers need to be prepared to be ‘all in’ when getting into a fast-paced market,” says McCracken. “Although listings meeting their search may be few and far between, they will not last long on the market, and buyers will need to make quick decisions.”

While some people thrive on quick decisions, others have decided to wait out the hectic market before buying or selling.

This has created very low inventory, but there are signs that could be changing in the near future. The Federal Reserve raised interest rates by .25 percent in March and will likely add another rate hike or two before the year is out. The move is meant to help curb inflation but will also drive up rates on loans, including mortgages. If mortgage rates continue to creep up as forecasted, home prices will eventually stabilize, and more people might look at getting into the market.

“If you have a home to sell first, get that process well underway before negotiating in our market,” offers Jackie Suarez, Associate Broker for Century 21 RiverStone in Sandpoint. “If you need a loan, have a lender committed to you before you begin your home search.

Cash buyers are still taking priority in negotiations.”

Being prepared is a step echoed by seasoned Realtors all throughout the panhandle. With homes selling within a week of listing, and multiple offers coming in, buyers need to be ready to be pre-approved, willing to go over asking price, and possibly wave inspections or pay closing costs. Sellers might be wowed at what their current home is worth, but you will still want to maximize your home’s value. While major updates aren’t currently needed in order to sell, a few simple steps can help to maximize your home’s appeal to potential buyers.

“Making sure to take care of deferred maintenance items, declutter, and making clean neutral spaces will be worth the extra effort,” shares McCracken. “We all have appliances on our countertops that we use here and there, however, when it comes time to list, less is more,” adds C.J.

Realty in Bonners Ferry. “Same thing with all of our knickknacks; while they are great and meaningful to homeowners, again, less is more. The less items and clutter in a home, the larger it feels.”

Even the relatively remote market of Bonners Ferry is seeing a big influx of out-of-town buyers looking for room to stretch out and have more control over their lives and property. “Buyers here like being able to build a shop without five permits, growing a garden, harvesting, canning, freeze drying, home schooling, etc.,” Tuma says.

When staging a house, two of the most popular features continue to be a beautiful kitchen and a comfortable master bedroom. As one would expect with the remote worker migration, a space for a home office is also tops on many buyers’ priority list. “Homes that are ‘move-in ready’ for buyers are desirable. However, for the right price in the right location, buyers are willing to make their own improvements,” says Suarez.

contact a professional to assess your situation and provide meaningful advice. “This includes lenders, appraisers, real estate agents, insurance companies, home inspectors, property managers and title companies,” affirms Suarez. “Each location is unique, and you’ll be relying on local experts to guide you through the process.”

McCracken adds: “Although prices seem high for buying homes, your home sale will also likely be higher than it once was. If you put the equity back into your new home, combined with favorable interest rates, buying and selling in this market may not be as challenging as you think.”

There are numerous factors that can greatly affect a housing market. North Idaho is clearly in a boom, but as we’ve learned in recent times, the boom eventually comes to an end. If you are a current homeowner, you have equity—and likely more buying power than you think. For those looking to make a move or find their first home, it might be a struggle, but being prepared and flexible might just be the ticket to finding your place to call home.

“Don’t get frustrated,” says Tuma. “Real estate is simple economics; supply and demand.

Hang in there, stick with your Realtor—and you will find the perfect home.”

hat is barre? If you’ve been curious about the popular workout class that so many credit for their toned muscles, strong core and impressive posture, here’s everything you need to know to feel confident incorporating barre into your fitness routine this summer.

Barre-based workouts have gained widespread popularity in studios and gyms across the nation in recent years.

Barre has earned a reputation for helping participants achieve impressive results through low-impact (think less stress on the body and joints), targeted movements.

Although often performed in a studio (popular studio franchises include Pure Barre, Bar Method, and Barre3, while locally owned barre studios are just as prevalent), barre can even be adopted at home with the right setup and equipment.

Combining elements of yoga, aerobics, Pilates, and yes, ballet, barre workouts are designed to serve all fitness levels and promote a long list of health benefits.

The format of a barre class will vary by studio but will typically incorporate a sequence designed to strengthen and sculpt the entire body while enhancing core strength, balance and flexibility. Highrepetition exercises and isometric holds are used to work each muscle group to fatigue before moving on to the next group.

As more and more fitness studios become entirely dedicated to delivering barrebased workouts, it’s time to dive deeper into what makes these workouts so popular.

Barre classes are centered around the balance itself but utilize a selection of additional equipment, including mats, exercise balls, resistance bands and light hand weights. It is not a ballet or dance class—it is designed to accommodate a wide range of athletic backgrounds and all levels of experience.

Barre takes a unique approach to strength work that not many other fitness routines can achieve: Bursts of intense movement are alternated with small, muscle-targeting pulses and effective dynamic stretches.

Enhanced Flexibility Like most fitness classes, barre can help its participants maintain a healthy weight and rebuild or maintain strength. What sets barre apart are its small, targeted, repetitive movements designed to achieve noticeable results in less time.

Each barre workout requires the simultaneous use of multiple muscle groups and the engagement of the core. The ultra-targeted format of barre workouts often takes participants to the point of feeling a muscular “shake”—the sign that the muscles are working to fatigue.

Here are some of the top health benefits associated with incorporating barre into your fitness routine: Enhanced strength - Barre workouts use a combination of light equipment and body weight exercises to bring the element of resistance training within each class. It’s not uncommon for classes to include pushups, squats and lunges—bodyweight exercises known to enhance muscle definition and promote healthy muscle endurance.

64

COEUR D’ALENE LIVING LOCAL may/june 2022

Enhanced flexibility - The movements performed within a barre workout can help improve flexibility and range of motion, particularly around the joints.

Improved balance and focus - Balance, focus and posture are all enhanced by the small movements within the barre format that require paying close attention to form.

Sculpting and toning - Looking to sculpt lean muscle? Exercises performed at the barre can effectively target specific muscle groups, including the muscles that are harder to target in other forms of fitness, within the core, glutes, triceps and shoulders.

Ready to sign up for your first in-studio barre class? Many studios will offer an introductory Foundations class, specifically designed to support beginners in getting a feel for the class structure.

Check with your local studio to ask about their options for beginners.

Pure Barre, for example, offers a free Foundations class to every first-

timer. The Foundations class provides a clear breakdown of form and terminology in a smaller class setting, allowing the instructor to provide more personalized assistance.

For your first class in a studio, you’ll simply need comfortable workout attire and a pair of sticky socks (and a water bottle, of course). Sticky socks are grippy on the bottom, creating a necessary traction and anti-slip support throughout the class. Barre studios will typically sell sticky socks or offer a trial pair to use during class, if needed.

If you’re looking to try barre at home, apps and online programs like Pure Barre GO and Peloton offer easy-to-follow video content on demand, so you can barre whenever it best fits your schedule.

A balance bar itself isn’t required—just find something that offers a similar level of support within your home, like a sturdy chair, rail or ledge. Grab an exercise mat and a pair of light weights or resistance bands, and you’ll be set!

In whatever setting you choose, keep in mind that barre is a unique workout that will take time to get used to. Barre’s small, precise movements, commonly cued as “pulses” and core-controlled “tucks,” may not come easily during the first class or two. Don’t get discouraged—the terminology and the form will become more familiar with every class!

If you’re looking for a workout that can help build strength, improve your posture and flexibility, strengthen the core, or simply add variety to your fitness routine, it’s time to give barre a try. Its low-impact, adaptable structure makes it an excellent option for all ages and fitness levels. It has even been recommended for prenatal and postnatal women.

As an added bonus, barre doesn’t often leave its participants dripping in sweat, so you can easily squeeze it in before work, during a lunch break, or on your way to happy hour!

Barre takes a unique approach to strength work that not many other fItness routines can achieve. may/june 2022 COEUR D’ALENE LIVING LOCAL

orth Idaho College alumna Mary Faber’s social enterprise business in Nepal was recognized by the U.S. Department of State for Economic Inclusion with the 2021 Award for Corporate Excellence.

Faber is from Bonners Ferry and was known as Mary Murphy when she attended NIC from 2000 to 2003. She and her husband Richard, who is also from Bonners Ferry, went on to become involved in international anti-trafficking activism, eventually leading them to Nepal, where they helped build a sewing company that employs and serves marginalized communities and survivors of exploitation.

Faber’s company, Purnaa, was one of several businesses to receive ACE Awards in three categories: Economic Inclusion, Health Security and Climate Innovation. Other winners include Mastercard India, 3M Singapore, Patagonia, Australis Aquaculture and Zipline.

Purnaa is a cut-and-sew manufacturing service provider that emphasizes giving training and employment to those who have hard histories and need steady employment and a supportive workplace, Faber said.

U.S. Ambassador Randy Berry nominated Purnaa for the award program. He said though Nepal has legal protections in place, employment discrimination still occurs in respect to gender, caste, ethnicity, national

origin, citizenship, disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity and HIV status.

“Victims of exploitation, especially women, face stigmatization in Nepal’s conservative patriarchal society, and that’s where Purnaa comes in,” Berry said during the December ceremony. “Many of Purnaa’s staff come from marginalized backgrounds. These include human trafficking (victims), bonded labor survivors, and people who have suffered abuse or discrimination based on caste, gender, religion or disease. By employing people from these backgrounds, Purnaa gives them opportunities for independent and healthy lives that might not have otherwise been available in the social context here in Nepal.”

The impact of the Fabers’ activism has grown.

They started their first company with six employees, and now Purnaa has more than 130 employees, creating a huge, positive impact for survivors and their families.

“I am proud of our team’s faithfulness to the mission of Purnaa and to excellence as we carry out our work,” Faber said. “It’s lovely to have hard work acknowledged, and it’s been an encouragement to our employees to be personally recognized by the U.S. government.

For better or worse, the U.S. really does have a huge influence on other nations, so it’s a big deal to folks here to receive an award like this.”

couldn’t shut her brain off at bedtime.

She would lie in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. The Coeur d’Alene woman was only sleeping two to three hours a night. She had been using sleeping pills for years, but her restless nights only worsened.

“Some nights I would get less than an hour of sleep,” says Breanne. “It affected me in every way in my life. I couldn’t focus at work. I was moody, grumpy and short-tempered. I was tired and miserable all the time.”

Breanne’s provider recommended she see an insomnia specialist at Heritage Health. Breanne was skeptical, but she wanted to get to the root cause.

Research shows that about one in 10 Americans have chronic insomnia. The Centers for Disease Control recommends people get seven hours of sleep every night. The amount of sleep needed to function normally varies by age, says Laura Bonneville, Behavioral Health Consultant with Heritage Health.

“If you have insomnia, nothing else is going well,” says Bonneville. “We know that people are more anxious, more depressed, and at higher risk for diabetes, cardiac issue, and patients just don’t feel well.”

Bonneville worked with Breanne to get her life back on track.

Primary Care

“Breanne didn’t have a lot of hope, but over six weeks she went from severe clinical insomnia to having no insomnia,” says Bonneville. “We also were able to improve other aspects of her life.”

Over the last year, Bonneville has treated about 50 patients with insomnia and says 98 percent of them have achieved success.

“It’s a very person-specific treatment plan,” she says. “Breanne tried to chase sleep by spending more time in bed, hoping that would improve her chances of getting more sleep. That diffuses sleep and makes things worse.

“The main intervention is called sleep restriction therapy. I was restricting Breanne’s time in bed.

I gave her a time in bed prescription of about six-and-a-half hours. That made her tired for a few days and then she was able to sleep in that window. Then we made that window a little bigger without losing her sleep efficiency.”

Dental

Behavioral Health Mobile Services

CAN’T SLEEP? We can help.

Breanne also used a “sleep diary” to track her sleep patterns. These logs gave Bonneville a better idea of what was causing insomnia.

Bonneville also recommended dietary changes, such as reducing the caffeine she was drinking.

“She gave me a prescription for bedtime,” laughs Breanne. “I had to focus on getting ready for bed every night.”

Breanne credits Laura for changing her life for the better.

“I could literally feel a switch click in my brain once I finally got the seven hours of sleep I needed,” says Breanne. “I am smiling again. I am happy to be at work. It’s been a wonderful experience.”

Ask your provider for a referral to see Laura and get a good night’s rest.

Have Hunger?

Many times we find ourselves feeling the urge to grab a bite to eat.

But that feeling of hunger may actually be a sign that your body is dehydrated. Before grabbing that quick go-to snack, instead, pour yourself a big glass of water. If the feeling of hunger does not subside, then choose a small, healthy snack to satiate your appetite.

Farm Fresh.

‘Tis the season of farmers markets. Make it a point to shop these local markets, weekly if possible, as this is the best—and most sustainable and environmentally friendly—place to find the freshest produce in town while highlighting the best of what’s in season. From farm to table, this is the healthiest way to shop and eat, and in the process, you are supporting local farmers.

While at your local supermarket, come with a shopping list, and make it a point to avoid the aisles lined with premade, overly processed, packaged foods. Basically, anything in a box or bag that has too many ingredients to name ... skip it. Opt for what’s along the outer walls of the store. That’s where you’ll find the fresh fruits and veggies, meats and seafood, freshly baked breads, and cheeses.

Simple Snacks.

Looking for something quick and healthy to grab and go? Most fruit (think bananas, apples, oranges) and veggies like baby carrots and small bell peppers are ready to go without a thought.

Raw nuts (no added sugar or oils) are also a great go-to, offering good proteins and fats. Just be sure to eat one at a time rather than inhaling mouthfuls. String cheese, Greek yogurt and hardboiled eggs are great options as well.

Plan & Prep.

With the busyness of life, chaotic work, school and sports schedules, “What’s for dinner?” may end up being an afterthought more often than not, resulting with a quick trip to the drivethrough on the way home. Instead, plan a few simple meals, utilizing the same core ingredients, that you can prep ahead of time and that require minimal cooking time. For example, this week make chicken and veggies your star players: chicken Caesar salad, chicken and veggie rice bowl, chicken alfredo with a side of veg. You get the gist.

tip just breathe...

It’s an afterthought—if even ever a thought at all. Yet every second of every minute of every day, our bodies work hard to keep breathing, to keep us alive. But there is more power to that breath. We can take breathing to the next level, consciously controlling it to help reduce stress … or boost concentration … or just relax.

All that is required for focused breathing, or “breathwork,” is ... to breathe while being fully aware of your breathing!

It’s quite simple—and effective. Choose a quiet space, if possible, where you can sit comfortably (yes, your car, the restroom or pantry are all good options). You will think about your breathing, with each inhale and exhale, and focus on it. A cycle of focused, controlled breaths is a sure way to help you to clear your head and be present.

Slowly, and consciously, breathe in from your diaphragm through your nose, and slowly exhale through your mouth. Keep the breathing rhythmic, whatever pace you are comfortable with. Start with a count of three to the inhale, another three for the exhale. Expand on the time of each as you are able, even breathing out longer than the inhale.

A few moments is all that is needed. One, two, three ... breathe. may/june 2022 COEUR D’ALENE LIVING LOCAL

anticipated arrival of summer heat, it’s time to lock down your look for the season. Finding a hairstyle that can outlast summer temperatures doesn’t have to be complicated—in fact, styling your summer locks can be a breeze with a few trending hairstyles for 2022 that focus on celebrating your hair’s natural texture and beauty.

Start with these inspired trends that make summer hair ... a breeze!

Breezy, Beachy Texture. This summer, let your natural waves shine. Beachy, textured hair is a summertime staple now more than ever, with 2022 being a year to air-dry and embrace those wavy locks. Highlight your waves with support from key products, including anti-humidity serums or beach wave texturizing sprays.

Simple and Sleek. This summer’s take on sleek and simple help make it easy to look pulled together in no time! Opt for a combination of structure and ease with a sleek, high ponytail or a secure topknot. A smooth base and a fresh, high pony takes just a bit of effort but looks effortless! The key products?

Light styling creams and hairspray for an all-day stay.

Face-Framing Fringe. Layers are in this summer, bringing a cool, laid-back element to any look. Shaggy, face-framing layers are highly versatile to fit the wearer’s face shape and natural texture of the hair. In fact, the ‘70s-inspired shag cut has been brought back into style this year, a versatile look defined by incorporating a ton of layers into textured, tousled movement. (Think: channeling Mick Jagger or 2020’s Taylor Swift.) The modern shag cut is all about embracing the natural shape of your hair, including curls of all levels.

Carefree braids are back in style.

Easing into the layered look? Bangs are the perfect gateway to this trend, with endless options on how to best tailor them to your style. Take your pick of asymmetric, side-swept, blunt bags, or soft and subtle to give your look an update while maintaining the hair length you desire.

Wispy bangs are especially on-trend this summer—those bangs that effortlessly surround the face to create texture, movement and soft dimension. Use a light amount of styling cream or spray to give your unique layers enough substance and shape to withstand the summer heat!

Statement-Making Braids. 2022 is reported to be a big year for braids, and summertime is the perfect season to incorporate them into an easy, low-maintenance style. Braided hair can take many forms that are often versatile enough to be easily dressed up or down. From intricate, detailed cornrows to a head of thicker, longer braids, to small, braided accents throughout your hair, carefree braids are back in style and perfect for keeping the hair contained in the hot weather.

Go sleek with a single, glossy pulled-back braid perfect for keeping your hair off your shoulders and face throughout the summer.

This pulled-together look is an easy one to lock in for the day. If you aren’t looking to commit with a full head of braids, start by working a single braid through your existing style to provide just enough accentuation to your look!

‘90s-Inspired Layers. Jennifer Aniston’s signature “Rachel” cut from the ‘90s is back to inspire a new generation, with a little twist: The modern-day “Rachel” takes the hair length above the shoulder and incorporates long, bouncy layers. Blow-drying the ends of the hair with a barrel brush makes it easier to achieve the right amount of volume to achieve this Friends-inspired look.

Classic Bobs. Short hair is in this summer, and those who love a breeze on the back of the neck and a classic cut for straight hair can celebrate the return of the bob! The classic bob is this summer’s clear short-hair trend, with a long list of ways to spice it up.

This chin-length cut can be cut into a clean, straight line, or incorporate added dimension with a cut slightly longer in the front. Play with parts (middle parts are still trending), added bangs, or step into pixie-cut territory with a length slightly shorter.

Whatever bob variation you choose, it’s no secret that shorter cuts make summer styling a breeze—so chop away!

Fun with Accessories. Maybe this summer your new “do” doesn’t change your actual hair at all. A major statement can be made with simply adding accessories, and right now, hair accessories of all kinds are on trend. 2022 runways saw details like headbands, clips and barrettes enhancing looks with just the right amount of detail.

This summer, keep your locks out of your face in style with a trendy clip (the larger, claw-like clips are another trend resurfacing from the ‘90s) or a head scarf for the most effortless hairstyle update!

Go Natural. The biggest takeaway from this summer’s hairstyle forecast? Embrace your natural gifts! When planning your summer style, lean into your hair’s natural shape and texture. Whether it’s enhancing your natural curls for an edgy shag cut or a head full of beach waves, or letting finer locks have their moment in a layered cut or bob, natural is the name of the game this summer—roots and grays included!

Take the maintenance out of hair prep so you can put that energy toward enjoying the season. Happy styling!

Port Townsend has so many great eateries, it is tough to decide where to dine. The Silverwater Café is in an historic building on Taylor Street. The owners David and Allison source their ingredients from local farmers, bakers, craft beverage makers, butchers, mushroom foragers, and those that gather the bounty from the sea. You can taste the love for the local community in their food. The fried fish with its signature dill and lemon batter gained them a loyal following from the days of their fish stand. It remains on the menu to this day. The Grand Marnier Prawns are chilled tempura shrimp drizzled with a Grand Marnier aioli and served over house-made coleslaw. The menu is extensive, and specials are offered each day.

A stroll through the downtown Waterfront District and the residential area on the bluff will have you enthralled with the architectural details of this vibrant port city.

DO

A must-do is to visit the Northwest Maritime Center and take a boating or building class. There are such a variety of courses available. Kids will love the boat building class where in the morning they build a model sailboat and then launch it in the afternoon. Adults can make their own standup paddle board among the many options. You can also just enjoy the community space. Grab a coffee from Velocity and stroll out on the dock for views of Port Townsend or watch the kids play on the mini playground.

Walk through downtown beginning at the Jefferson Museum of Art and History to learn more about the area. Make sure to pick up the ĉiĉmәhán trail route map, which is a walking, cycling or driving route through Port Townsend that shares the history of 19th century European settlers and the S’Klallam leader they called Chetzemoka. As you walk through town, keep an eye out for the signature red signs. Also look for other historical signs. Each one has QR codes you can scan with your phone for more information.

Just outside of town is Fort Worden State Historical Park, which is jammed full of activities. There are multiple museums and the Port Townsend Marine Science Center. There are miles of trails that meander through forests and past military bunkers.

Connect to the arts with an onsite theater or just stroll the beaches. The fort is a much beloved historical treasure.

Raising Funds for Idaho Youth Ranch

By J i l l i a n C h a n d l e r

022 marks the 10th annual Wine, Women & Shoes event to benefit Idaho Youth Ranch. Get your tickets today to attend this year’s fundraising event, scheduled for Thursday, June 30, at the Hagadone Event Center at the Coeur d’Alene Golf Course.

A&H HIGHLIGHT

From 5:30 to 9:30pm, guests will enjoy an evening of wine tasting, designer shopping, incredible live auction, Best in Shoe contest, charming shoe guys, and Key to the Closet.

According to Melissa Quinn, event coordinator, last year’s event raised nearly $300,000, with funds going directly toward North Idaho Youth Ranch programs and services, including outpatient and equine therapy.

Tickets to attend are priced at $150 each, with 350 tickets available, and “include almost two hours of wine tasting, highlighting local and regional wineries, dinner, a fabulous fashion show, a signature glass to take home and last, but not least, our coveted SWAG bag filled with goodies,” shares Melissa.

Though most attendees are women, Melissa points out their “shoe guys”; gentlemen who volunteer their time to make sure guests have an incredible evening. “They are a huge part of the event’s success,” Melissa affirms.

“We are amazed and so grateful for the women (and shoe guys) who have supported us at all 10 events!” smiles Melissa. “We’ve

For more than 40 years, Idaho Youth Ranch has provided hope and healing to children and families in our community. “During this event, not only do we raise awareness of the services we provide, but by the end of the night, our generous donors and community partners know they’re making a difference in a child’s life and the future of our community through the programs offered by the Idaho Youth Ranch,” Melissa adds.

If you would like to help in continuing that mission, then don’t miss Wine, Women & Shoes, a wonderful event leading to promising futures for our youth. Visit IDYR.ejoinme.org/ wwscda2022.

“How often can you get dressed up with 350 fabulous women and be part of a night that highlights these amazing women in our community in such a fun way? Once a year!” states Melissa.

“Our supporters look forward to it every year! It’s a fun, chic way to support this worthy cause and Idaho’s kids.”
