HOW TO MIX AND MATCH METAL FINISHES IN YOUR HOME BY NIKKI LUTTMANN, SEVEN BEE INTERIORS FOR SANDPOINT FURNITURE, CARPET ONE AND SELKIRK GLASS AND CABINETS

ne of the more common questions I get asked as a designer is how to mix metal finishes. And though it seems like a fairly straightforward question, it doesn’t really have a straightforward answer. The rule is typically to mix no more than three metal finishes in any given room, and even go so far as to say in any given home. However, something I strongly believe is that rules are meant to be broken! One of the coolest new trends in lighting and hardware is a matte black finish. And while this finish looks great all on its own, it also looks fantastic paired with a cool satin nickel or stainless steel finish, or even with a warmer brass finish. I’ve also paired black with weathered copper to fantastic effect, which looks great in more rustic or industrial interiors.

CDALivingLocal.com

When choosing new hardware for your kitchen, however, it can be tricky to pair new finishes with existing light fixtures or other elements. For cabinetry, one thing to keep in mind are your hinges. You might switch out your old boring shiny brass drawer pulls for sleek new stainless steel models, but if your hinges are exposed and stay the same shiny brass, the effect is lost and all of a sudden it looks like a bit of a mess instead of the modern new look you wanted. In this case, what I might do is either switch out the hinges too, or, if that’s not an option, replace the old pulls with updated brass pieces for a more modern look that still works with the existing hinges. When it comes to lighting, finish is very important. I don’t know if you’ve ever walked into a home and looked up at the ceiling to spy a gold and crystal chandelier proudly declaring

One of the coolest new trends in lighting and hardware is a matte black finish. that the house was built in 1987, but I sure have! Replacing light fixtures can have a huge impact on how your house looks. But choosing a finish can be tricky. One thing that might help you choose a finish is your door hardware. If you have satin nickel doorknobs, then you know a satin nickel fixture would look right at home in your house. Should you want to branch out and choose on oil-rubbed-bronze (ORB) fixture, go ahead! Just make sure that it’s not the only ORB element in the house, so it doesn’t look out of place. One thing I try to stay away from is specialty finishes. For example, in the early ‘90s there was a textured granite finish that was very popular for

light fixtures. This short-lived trend immediately dated any house that included this strange breed of light fixture, and the homeowners were then forced to replace it or simply ignore it once it went out of style. For that reason, I opt to go for classic metals and finishes. Oil-rubbed-bronze, patinaed brass and copper, satin nickel, stainless steel and simple black are fairly timeless and will stay up-todate looking for far longer than their trendier counterparts. You can generally combine any two to three of these in any given room and still have them looking great now and for years to come!

What Can a Financial Advisor Do for You? This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisors Doug Rupiper, Chris Liermann and Debbie Holmes

hat does investing mean to you? If the word makes you think of transactions—buying or selling stocks and bonds—you’re looking at just part of the picture. To work toward all your goals, such as a comfortable retirement, you need a comprehensive financial strategy. And for that, you might need to work with a personal financial advisor. But what, specifically, can this type of professional do for you? Here are some of the key services a financial advisor can provide: • Help you invest for your retirement - An experienced financial advisor can look at all the relevant factors—your current and projected income, age at which you’d like to retire, desired retirement lifestyle—to help you determine how much you need to invest, and in which investment vehicles, to help you reach your retirement goals. To cite just one example, a financial advisor can review your employer-sponsored retirement plan and help you determine how to use it to your greatest advantage. • Help you save for college - Higher education is expensive, and costs are rising every year. If you’d like to help your children—or grandchildren—go to college someday, you need to save and invest early and often. A financial advisor can suggest appropriate college savings vehicles and strategies. • Help make sure you’re well-protected - If something were to happen to you, could your family maintain its standard of living? Or if you someday needed some type of long-term care, such as an extended stay in a nursing home,

would you be able to maintain your financial independence, or would you be forced to rely on your adult children for help? A financial advisor can recommend and possibly provide suitable protection products and services for your needs. • Help you adjust your financial strategy - Not much will stay constant in your life—and that includes your financial strategy. Any number of events—a new child, a new job, a new retirement destination—can cause you to adjust your investment moves, as will some of the factors influencing the financial markets—economic downturns, changing interest rates, new tax laws and more. A financial advisor can help you change course as needed—and sometimes encourage you not to change course when, in his or her professional opinion, you might be tempted to overreact to some event or other. While a financial advisor can help you in many ways, you’ll need, above all else, to feel comfortable with whomever you choose. Ultimately, you’ll want to pick someone who understands what’s important to you and who will follow an established process to create personalized strategies and recommend specific actions needed to help achieve your goals. And you’ll want someone who will be with you in the long run—someone who will revisit your objectives and risk tolerance and who can adjust your strategies in response to changes in your life. A financial advisor can make a big difference in your life. So, work diligently to find the right one—and take full advantage of the help you’ll receive as you move toward your important goals.

CYBERCRIMINALS ARE TARGETING THE EDUCATION SECTOR How to protect your family

(BPT) - NOW THAT THE KIDS ARE BACK IN SCHOOL, there is a topic not found in textbooks or traditional coursework that parents, guardians and educators should prioritize: smart cybersecurity practices. Recent McAfee Labs research found cybercriminals are actively targeting the education sector, with publicly disclosed attacks increasing 50 percent in Q1 2019. As children increasingly use various devices starting at younger ages both at school and home, smart online practices should be learned early on. While there is a need for more cybersecurity education, students are not learning about the importance of it in school. In fact, a McAfee survey found only about a third (36 percent) of American students learn how to keep personal information safe through school resources, instead, 42 percent report that the news is their best resource for cybersecurity education. This issue continues through college with only 19 percent of American college students ages 18 to 25 taking extra steps to protect their school and academic records.

Academic information is a rich resource for personal data, which can lead to identity theft and other criminal activity, and these stats demonstrate the importance of educating children sooner rather than later when it comes to cybersecurity to keep them informed and protected. “It is crucial that students, parents and educational institutions of all levels are more thorough and proactive about protecting what matters to them and students’ futures. It is equally important that we educate students about cyber safety. After all, by the time college rolls around nearly half of students are unaware of the likelihood that they will fall victim to cybercrime in their lifetime,” says Gary Davis, McAfee’s chief consumer security evangelist. Davis shares smart tips for parents and their children to better protect personal data: Discuss cyber safety: Talk to your family about ways to identify phishing scams and what to do if your data was involved in a data breach.

Never reuse passwords: Use unique passwords for each one of your accounts, even if it’s for an account that doesn’t hold a lot of personal information. Always set privacy and security settings: Protect your identity and privacy by turning your profiles to private in order to have control over who can see information about you. Use the cloud with security mindset: If you plan to store your documents in the cloud, be sure to set up an additional layer of access security to keep your data available and secure. One way of doing this is through two-factor authentication. Always connect with caution: If you must conduct transactions on a public Wi-Fi connection, especially those financial in nature, use a virtual private network (VPN) to help keep your connection secure and details private. Invest in security software: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, so invest in security software like McAfee’s Total Protection that scans for malware and untrusted sites to protect your entire family whether on a computer or digital device like a smartphone or tablet. Plan a conversation today with your family and discuss the best steps for protecting personal data. With a proactive approach, students can keep personal data secure so they can focus on academics, reaching milestones and making memories.

DO I WANT THAT DOGGIE

IN THE WINDOW?

electing a dog breed that suits you and your family is likely the most important decision you make when adding a pet. This subject arose the other day when I came face to face with a young standard poodle and one of my favorite clients. This pet parent had recently lost his beloved 15-year-old standard poodle to cancer. Starting over with the same breed seemed like the right thing to do; he knew the personality type, husbandry and emotional needs of a standard poodle. Yet his most recent memory was of an aging, ailing furry pet, not an energetic puppy. And during those 15 years, this gentleman’s mobility had changed. He had developed arthritis in his knee that restricted his movement. “Uh oh,” I thought. “How is this going to work?” Training, exercising and grooming a puppy can be physically demanding for more than a few years. I breathed a sigh of relief when discovering that his adult grandchild had stepped up to the plate, taking full responsibility for all of the above. It was a co-adoption. When they don’t get what they need—food, attention, exercise—these loving and loyal friends often suffer quietly, likely develop behavior issues and either are re-homed or euthanized. Back in the “good old days” people used books to sort through breed types, ambled through the shelter looking for a tail wag or just plain “adopted a dog.” Sometimes it worked out,

• Cleaner air • Cheerful color • Enhance mood and productivity • Aesthetics for employee, customer and your enjoyment • Create a welcoming atmosphere

Choosing the right canine! By Dr. Dawn Mehra, North Idaho Animal Hospital

and sometimes dogs were re-homed due to owner limitations or pet behavior issues. The wisest and kindest pet parents now tap into the internet’s abundance of information before choosing a breed. Key points in this are the dog’s needs, personality and activity level, and your living space and desired activity level. The most important factor, no matter which breed you choose, is your schedule. What is your lifestyle? Do you work long hours? Travel frequently? Struggle to get out of the house in the morning? If you answer yes to several of these questions, you might reconsider having any type of pet—especially a dog! They, like small children, require lifestyle changes and interruptions of your schedule. Consistent walks, runs and training eat up your time. Feeding, veterinary care, pet sitting and boarding consume your finances. Be careful! Take a quiz on one of the internet’s several websites, DogTime.com, AKC.org and SelectADogBreed.com, and you will learn to either fashion your lifestyle, schedule and emotional health to the breed you desire or pick the breed that best matches the lifestyle that you and your family have. There is a world of difference between the two.

Walk 500 Miles in My Shoes

VET TURNS LEISURELY STROLL INTO A JOURNEY OF SELF-DISCOVERY BY DAN AZNOFF PHOTOS BY ABBY HENNING

THIS WAS NOT JUST ANY WALK, BUT A STROLL AROUND HIS HOME STATE OF WASHINGTON. IN THE END, HENNING DECIDED TO WALK 500 MILES AROUND THE STATE TO FURTHER HIS CAUSE.

rmy veteran Rich Henning showed his respect to the first responders of 9/11 by doing what comes naturally. He took a walk.

known as the Irreverent Warriors. He finished the trek in San Diego while maintaining a rapid pace with the declaration, “Too easy, Drill Sergeant. Too easy.”

Henning wanted to duplicate the effort of the emergency teams that responded to the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center that ominous morning by climbing 104 flights of stairs. Unfortunately, there are very few buildings with that many floors east of the Cascades.

He admits his own battle with the disorder seems inconsequential compared to soldiers returning from a combat zone, but his personal battle to overcome the ailment has been no less agonizing.

So instead, he did the next best thing. He found an 18-story building and climbed the stairs top to bottom six times for a total of 108 floors.

The only time he actually took up arms in combat was in a skirmish in Turkey with Kurdish rebels. He earned his battle scars during the 13 years he spent serving under what he described as “abusive leadership” in the difficult environment with the recruiting command.

“Did the extra for those who perished,” he posted on his Facebook blog. Henning, who has found personal satisfaction with his career as a professional chef, has been lacing up his shoes and pounding the pavement since his retirement from the US Army after 22 years of active service. His latest cause has been walking to raise money and raise awareness of soldiers who suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. In September, he put together the Inland NW Heroes Golf Tournament to provide support for local veterans. In July he walked 13 miles with a 50-pound ruck with a group of vets

“My combat was not extensive, but I did come away with many of the same issues,” Henning said. “Ended up in the VA Hospital where I received help to address my issues and overcome many of my issues.” Henning wanted to share his discovery with the thousands of other veterans who face the same dilemma without any hope for the future. “There was a way out of the darkness,” he said. “There are so many agencies and programs out there for veterans. Unfortunately, too many of them go unused or underutilized.”

“Along the way I had the opportunity to share my story with some really great people and picked up support from local organizations.”

500 miles After evaluating the situation with his wife, the Army vet decided to walk. This was not just any walk, but a stroll around his home state of Washington. In the end Henning decided to walk 500 miles around the state to further his cause.

“And it was the people along the way who opened our eyes to the possibilities.” The trek for Henning took 23 days. He walked every day except for July 4, which he took off to “hang out” by celebrating the birthday of America in the city of Liberty.

Henning left his home in the Palouse and headed to the state capital with his knapsack and an American flag.

“That was just an extraordinary coincidence,” he said. “But a great one as it turns out.”

He “flipped the map” and began his expedition in Olympia, strolled along sidewalks and busy highways north to Seattle, turned east and made his way through Issaquah, over the pass to Ellensburg where he turned north toward Leavenworth, then made a hard right and followed the road until he made it back to Coeur d’Alene.

Before he took the first step of his journey, Henning established a GoFundMe account to help offset his expenses and establish the Have a Heart Foundation. The website did not meet its goal of $10,000, however, Henning did generate $2,600 for the project and came home with cash leftover. He plans to supplement the unused funds into $500 scholarships for veterans.

“I had hoped to cover 20 miles per day. In the end I averaged 16 to 17 miles per day,” he said proudly. “Along the way I had the opportunity to share my story with some really great people and picked up support from local organizations.” Box of chocolates He was sustained along the way by his wife, Abby, who scouted the road ahead of him in their camper or trailed him along long stretches of highway. The couple had breakfast together in the camper every morning. With a smile and a laugh, Henning remembered people he met along the way who compared his effort to the fictional character Forrest Gump. “He walked across the country,” said Henning. “I only covered 500 miles within Washington. But the similarities cannot be denied. We both walked in search of answer we could not find on our own.

CDALivingLocal.com

Henning documented his journey with his own video that he hopes to produce so it can be shown in waiting rooms at the VA Hospital. “What an incredible experience,” he said, recalling how people bought him food and bottles of water as he walked along the highway. Henning said his wife never paid more than $25 to stay in campgrounds after the operators listened to the inspiration behind his walk. “Abby and I have kept in contact with the people we met along the way,” Henning concluded. “Walking is my therapy. Hopefully my efforts will benefit others as much as it has helped me.” Dan Aznoff is a freelance writer based in Mukilteo, Washington. He can be reached at da@dajournalist.com.

13403 Government Way Hayden, Idaho 83835 208.699.9000 pbielec@ccim.net

“THIS BUILDING IS TRULY A HIDDEN GEM THAT VERY FEW PEOPLE IN THE AREA ARE AWARE OF. IMAGINE GOING TO YOUR OFFICE IN JANUARY OR FEBRUARY AND FEELING LIKE YOU ARE IN THE TROPICS!”

idden amongst the tall trees in Hayden, Idaho, yet only a few minutes from Highway 95 on Government Way, is where you will find a building, which is unpretentious on the outside but takes you to another place once you enter. Constructed from 1983 to 1986 by the Louisiana Pacific Corporation with a budget of $1.5 million—which was a substantial sum for the time—it was built to operate as the corporation’s one-of-a-kind divisional headquarters. In 2004, Bielec Enterprises, Inc. purchased the building from Louisiana Pacific, which then leased space in the building. Ten years later, in 2014, LP slowly began to scale back their operations at the facility, and as of August this year has completely relocated to their headquarters in Tennessee. “We have completed extensive renovations through the years, including new

carpet, paint, HVAC, boiler and security while keeping the building’s unique historical character,” says Paul Bielec, president of Bielec Enterprises, Inc. “The Atrium now has multiple tenants in offices ranging from 300 square feet to over 2,500 square feet.” The space currently houses attorneys, financial specialists, marketing firms, real estate professionals, public companies, as well as a large variety of other interesting businesses, according to Paul. Currently there are suites available to lease from as small as 400 square feet and up. The Atrium Professional Building, located at 13403 Government Way, sits on more than 14 acres and offers more than 30,000 square feet of rentable office space—and is over 50,000 square feet with the more than three-story tall atrium included. The building also offers 75 parking spaces.

“The atrium area includes a lazy river with waterfall, bridges and hundreds of huge live plants and trees,” says Paul. In addition, the interior of the building is primarily composed of cedar with vast laminated wood beams and over 220 4’x6’ skylights for natural light, which allows for a bright and sunny office space no matter what time of year. “This building is truly a hidden gem that very few people in the area are aware of,” says Paul. “Imagine going to your office in January or February and feeling like you are in the tropics!” If you are in the market for a new office space, and you are interested in leasing information or taking a tour of the Atrium Professional Building, Paul welcomes you to contact him by calling 208.699.9000 or emailing pbielec@ccim.net.

IN FOCUS FULL-CONTACT FUN DERBY GALS WON’T BE PUSHED AROUND BY COLIN ANDERSON

hen in high school or college, it’s pretty easy to join a competitive team. There are all kinds of clubs and sports at competitive and intramural levels, and without a full-time job or family, you’ve generally got a lot more time for practices and competitions. As we get older it can become more difficult to find a way to scratch that competitive itch in a team environment, as there just aren’t as many opportunities due to our many daily obligations and responsibilities. For almost a decade now, a group of local women are finding not just a way to keep competing but a place to be part of a team, release some stress and make some lasting relationships. Coeur d’Alene Roller Derby is a team comprised

of women who come from all kinds of athletic backgrounds, with many having little to no skating experience. “I think a person would be surprised to see how aggressive it could be, as well as how light hearted it could be in the same game,” explained Stephanie Coates, who goes by “Bigs Eats Smalls” during her bouts. “Most people who aren’t familiar with roller derby often ask: ‘So you beat each other up on skates?’ Well, it’s not that simple,” said team member Kayla Apel, aka “Nahmaslay.” There are many rules to prevent competitors from seriously injuring one another while using strategy and technique. It is a physical sport, so there is contact, but there is no punching or kicking like some may think. “It’s a family friendly environment with a lot of passion,

hard work and plenty of sweat—and sometimes tears,” she said. For those who aren’t familiar with the rules, games are called bouts, and each has two 30-minute halves with a halftime in between. Each half is made up of jams, which last up to two minutes each. Each team has a jammer who scores points by lapping members of the other team, and four blockers who try to stop the other team’s jammer while also assisting their own jammer. It’s a fullcontact sport, so you will definitely see skaters falling down and flying across the track. There are a lot of rules though, so it’s not just a brawl, and there is an announcer who tries to explain all the action as it happens.

Coeur d’Alene Roller Derby is part of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association and hosts bouts locally while also traveling across Idaho, Washington and Montana for additional competitions. In addition to the 30 or so skaters from both teams, up to seven referees, who also wear skates, are needed, plus 10 or so non-skating officials who keep score, track penalties and lineups, time the jams and make sure the game runs smoothly. Then there are the bench coaches for each team who help with strategy, decide which skaters go out to the track and make sure no one gets too tired. Medics are on hand for each game to assist if anyone gets injured. Finally there are the volunteers who take tickets, sell merchandise

and help set up and tear down the track. There are probably more people working “behind the scenes” than there are skaters on the track. Practices are held twice a week, and participants better show up ready to break a sweat both physically and mentally. “We usually like to do footwork and/or endurance at the beginning, throw in some hitting drills, and toward the end of our practice we scrimmage,” explained Kayla. “Most practices are different, and we mix up drills to keep us on our toes and to never stop learning new ways to improve.” It’s practice where new women—or “fresh meat” as they are referred by—get their first look at all of what roller derby entails. “The first time I was

CDALivingLocal.com

on skates I knew I wanted to keep skating,” said third-year member Piper Kenny, aka “EmPiper Strikes Back.” Piper’s commitment to the sports goes beyond the twice-a-week practice as she looks to be a strong competitor when it’s time for a bout. “Outside of practice I work on lifting and endurance at the gym; basically all my focus is on my legs since you don’t use your arms much in derby. The team taught me to skate well, but the gym is an important part of making sure we don’t tire out during games.” All women are invited to attend a practice to see whether this might be something they are interested in pursuing. While it can sound intense, Coeur d’Alene Roller Derby welcomes women of all skill levels, even those who’ve never

donned roller skates before. When speaking with various members, it’s clear to see that this is so much more than just competition as the women push each other out of their comfort zones and encourage each other to continue to gain confidence. “Roller derby girls may seem very tough and hard, which is true,” said Kayla, “but a lot of us are softies who just want to connect with this community while getting some exercise and letting out the stresses of every day.” It rings similar for “Skatanic Panic” (Alaina Drake). “We celebrate each other’s individual successes too, so when a teammate does something awesome it’s so satisfying to share in that and to have them share in your successes too.” Bouts with opposing teams can get intense; after all, the entire goal is to physically block your opponent from getting around you on the 88-footlong track. Emotions can run high, but win or lose, at the end of the bout, it is all about sportsmanship. “All those skaters that are so intimidating to play against are also instant friends—on and off the track,” said Piper. “There’s a deep link that allows us all to play the sport that we love, be aggressive and

CDALivingLocal.com

competitive, and really lay it all out on the track, and then to high five your opponents afterward and compliment them on how well they played, how hard they hit me, how much of a pain they were to score against.” You can catch the Coeur d’Alene Roller Derby team in action in their final home bout of the season on Saturday, October 26, at the Kootenai County Fairgrounds. Tickets can be purchased in advance online at CdARollerDerby. com for $5 or on the day of the bout for $8. Kids 10 and younger are free. Concessions and a beer garden will also be available. Whether you’re looking for a rocking group of ladies to join up with, or perhaps just a change up in your Saturday night entertainment, the team hopes you’ll stop by and cheer them on. “This sport has given me and others so much more confidence in many different aspects we may have been lacking in before,” said Kayla. “Community is so important, and this sport connects all different walks of life and can be very encouraging to push past your limits—even off track.”

ctober Athlete of the Month Janae Rayborn is focused on her last season as a Lake City High School volleyball player. The senior knew a while back that this was her calling in athletics and what she wanted to expend her full energy on. “Over the years I have played basketball, soccer and tennis, but I eventually wanted to choose one sport to focus on full time. This was a really hard decision for me, but I’m so glad I chose volleyball,” said Janae. When she was a freshman, Janae played on the junior varsity team. When districts and state tournament came around, she was called up to the varsity squad and hasn’t looked back since. It’s the uniqueness of the game and communicating with teammates that makes the sport her favorite. “I love volleyball because it’s extremely fast-paced, competitive and all about team,” she said.

In her words....

While Janae hasn’t chosen a college yet, she plans on attending secondary education and is also hoping to continue her volleyball career at the next level. She continues to excel in the classroom as well, having been on the Honor Roll for four years, a part of the DECA program, a mentor, and a member of the Sources of Strength and the Green Dot programs at Lake City High School. As for what she’d like to study after high school, most of her ideas revolve around the medical field. “In the future I want to go into the medical field for either nursing or radiology. The medical field has always interested me, and I want to go into a field where I can help others,” said Janae. Janae adds that she’s met some of her very best friends playing the sport she loves and is thankful for the relationships that have come from playing. She’s also learned lessons she can apply to many aspects of her life. “I’ve learned all about how to work as a team, and I have also gained a lot of leadership skills that I can use in the future. I also learned hard work and dedication by playing year-round.”

JULIEANNA STITH

Coeur d’Alene High School

ulieanna Stith, known to most as Julie, isn’t afraid of challenging herself in all aspects of life. While balancing high school athletics and academics is a challenge to any student, Julie has taken it up a notch, competing on an Olympic Development Program and also taking courses at North Idaho College while still in high school. “My current GPA is 3.8, and I am planning on graduating with my associate’s degree when I graduate high school,” said Julie. With an associate’s degree in hand, Julie doesn’t plan on slowing and already has her eye on a master’s degree for nursing. Soccer may or may not be in her future, but no matter where she goes she wants to end up in a field where she can help people. “In the future I hope to become a nurse or a nurse practitioner. I have always loved caring for people and helping people out in any way possible,” she said. Last summer, Julie had the opportunity in playing at nationals with the Thorns North FC 2000s team. The Coeur d’Alene-based team placed second amongst competitive teams from all across the country.

“Even though we took second, it still was an amazing opportunity to play in a high level of competitive competition,” said Julie. That same year Julie also went to regionals with her Olympic Development Program. Julie says one of the most difficult things she’s had to overcome in soccer is beating out the girl next to her. “Each day, during practice or game, you have to get better, and if that means winning every ball or playing smarter, you have to practice. “I wake up early and go to the gym so I can be stronger. I get extra touches in so I can have better ball skills. I push myself so I can beat out that girl in the game, and I push myself to give it my all because when that final whistle blows I have to know that I gave it all that I could,” she explained. Soccer is the ultimate team sport, and high level competitors need great endurance, strong communication skills and a knack for finding teammates. Julie will continue to work hard knowing she’s playing for so much more than herself. “I have learned that even through the hardest downfalls or setbacks, you can’t let it hold you down. You have to rise up and keep pushing no matter what because you have 19 other girls counting on you to push through it.”

In her words....

“I have learned that even through the hardest downfalls or setbacks, you can’t let it hold you down.”

The smell of the lavender field will put you at ease, and with four Ford tractors and an international, it’s a great place for fall family photos. There are corn stalks and gourds available, and you can take home special gourds that double as bird houses.

COMMON READ A SHARED EXPERIENCE, A SENSE OF BELONGING | BY MAUREEN DOLAN

Sebastian Junger, author of “Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging” (SebastianJunger.com)

he connection between mental health and a sense of inclusion is raised in “Tribe: On Belonging and Homecoming,” the current book selection for Cardinal Reads, North Idaho College’s common read program. While author Sebastian Junger shares his thoughts on how the lack of a feeling of belonging may affect veterans returning from serving overseas, it’s not a foreign idea on college campuses. College students may appear to be gliding along effortlessly as they make their way around campuses throughout the nation, but how many are faking it until they make it, feeling out of place, alone and anxious? Probably more than you’d imagine. More than 50 percent of students surveyed in 2016 by the American College Health Association reported feelings of hopelessness and nearly 39 percent reported depression that made it difficult for them to function. They are part of a campus community, but do they feel connected, like they belong? “A growing body of research has linked students’ sense of belonging on their campuses to a number of important outcomes, including their

persistence in college and even their well-being,” wrote Beckie Supiano in the Chronicle of Higher Education.

NIC is among roughly 300 colleges nationwide that offer common read programs, which aim to connect people through a shared experience.

“Tribe” author Sebastian Junger, a journalist who was a war reporter embedded with a unit in Afghanistan in the early 2000s, proposes that the loss of tribal structure in modern society has come at a great psychological cost to humans.

NIC’s Cardinal Reads is part of the college’s diversity program, with book selections designed to encourage diversity awareness on campus. The current diversity theme is cultural identity. The common read is one of the ways the college strives to encourage that cultural awareness.

Junger describes the real and ancient meaning of “tribe” as a community of people who share resources and who would risk their lives to defend their community. He was puzzled while in Afghanistan to find that men and women serving there often didn’t want to return home to the states when their deployments ended. He notes that about 40 percent of people who serve in the military overseas are not traumatized while deployed but return home with PTSD. “Maybe they had an experience of tribal closeness when they were eating together, sleeping together, defending each other with their lives,” Junger said during a 2015 TED talk. “We keep focusing on trauma, but maybe what’s bothering them is actually a kind of alienation?”

“The NIC student population and larger community of North Idaho benefit from understanding a variety of cultural perspectives of underrepresented populations,” says the college’s Diversity Council’s Project Statement. Common reads also encourage critical thinking and courteous, thoughtful discourse, even when opposing opinions emerge. The common read helps create some of those human connections that can foster a sense of community—and yes, a feeling of belonging. Copies of “Tribe” are available in the North Idaho College library.

DOCTOR’S ADVICE Don’t do that!

By Joanne Halbrecht, MD, Coeur d’Alene Orthopedics and Sports Medicine

fter 25 years of practicing orthopedic surgery and sports medicine, I have frequently seen injuries caused by the same activity. Here are a few:

1. Reaching in the back seat of your car. Injury: biceps tendon tear, rotator cuff tear, herniated cervical disc. What may seem like a fairly innocuous activity can have disastrous consequences. The awkward activity of turning your head and stretching our arm backward puts stress on your neck, shoulder and arm. A sudden pop in the shoulder followed by prominence of the biceps muscle (Popeye Sign) is an indication that the long head (there are two, thus “bi”) has ruptured or torn. Depending on your age, this may require surgery to fix. Sudden onset of neck pain that radiates down the arm signals that a disc in the cervical spine or neck is now bulging and pressing against a nerve. Ouch! A tearing sensation in the shoulder followed by pain and difficulty

lifting the arm overhead are classic for a rotator cuff tear. So, if you need to get something that’s in the back seat, find a safe place to pull over, get out of your car and retrieve it. 2. Jumping on a trampoline with more than one person. Injury: ankle sprain, fracture of the foot, ankle or femur. New trampolines enclosed in netting have greatly reduced trampoline injuries. Unfortunately, the netting gives the user a false sense of security. More than one person on a trampoline frequently results in one person landing on another or one person bouncing the other in a direction they had not anticipated. Ankle swelling and pain can indicate an ankle sprain. A fracture is associated with the sudden sharp pain, bruising, swelling and pain with weight bearing. In severe cases, there is a physical deformity. Sometimes,

WHAT’S ON THE OTHER SIDE?

fractures are not very painful and require X-ray for diagnosis. Play it safe. Don’t jump on a trampoline with more than one person.

MUSCLE ACHES WITH WORKING OUT ARE EXPECTED, BUT WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE ATYPICAL SHARP OR UNRELENTING PAIN, DON’T TRY TO WORK THROUGH IT. STOP AND REST. IF IT DOES NOT RESOLVE, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.

3. Performing manual labor that you are not accustomed to. Injury: bursitis, rotator cuff tear, tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome. If you’re avocation does not include painting houses, building decks or extensive landscaping, you may sustain an overuse injury if you try to tackle the job yourself.

5. Age 40-plus and new workout routine that includes repetitive lunges, squats and/or leg presses. Injury: damage to patella (knee cap) cartilage.

Repetitive use of the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand in painting, hammering or shoveling can cause pain due to inflammation of tendons and bursitis or even a tear in the rotator cuff. Numbness in the arm or hand can be a sign or carpal or cubital tunnel syndrome due to swelling around the nerves in the wrist or elbow.

It’s great to add new exercises to your workout or, even better, to make the commitment to get in shape. Unfortunately, our ageing knees don’t always cooperate with our desire to be active. As we age, the patella is the most common area for arthritis (worn cartilage). Those knees have been squatting, kneeling and going up and down stairs for four decades!

Months of pain, activity restriction, physical therapy and possible surgery are not worth it. Hire a professional to do the job. 4. Taking a jump on a snowboard not knowing what’s on the other side. Injury: anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) or medial collateral ligament (MCL) tear. This injury is more common among expert snowboarders than beginners. Typical scenario: The boarder sees what looks like a sweet jump, then finds out that the landing is unexpectedly flat. The boarder leans back and the ACL tears or the boarder falls and tears either the ACL, MCL or both. That will get you a toboggan ride down the mountain. It’s best to scout out a jump first, check out what the landing looks like, then take it on the next run when you’re prepared to react to the landing.

CDALivingLocal.com

Often, the arthritis is not painful until we engage in an activity that loads the patella such as lunges, squats and leg presses, particularly when the knee is bent more than 90 degrees. There are other ways to strengthen the quadriceps that do not load the patella. In some cases, bending the knee less than 45 degrees may give the desired results without pain or further cartilage damage. 6. If it hurts, don’t do it. Injury: muscle tear, tendon sprain, stress fracture. Muscle aches with working out are expected, but when you experience atypical sharp or unrelenting pain, don’t try to work through it. Stop and rest. If it does not resolve, seek medical attention.

MICRONEEDLING WHAT IS IT AND HOW CAN IT TRANSFORM MY SKIN? By Bri Williams, RN, BSN

hat would you say if I told you there is a treatment that has been around for over 1000 years, is safe for all skin types, and uses your body’s own healing abilities to repair damaged skin tissue and turn back the hands of time? First used in 1905 to treat scars and hyperpigmentation, microneedling has come a long way and is now considered one of the best in-office treatments for acne scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, and more. Read on to learn more! What is microneedling? Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive, nonsurgical, medical-grade treatment designed to enhance production of collagen and elastin, thus lessening the appearance of sun damage, acne scars, stretch marks and hyperpigmentation. In addition, fine lines and wrinkles are reduced, giving the skin a healthier glow and fresh appearance. The procedure works well on all areas of the body and is most commonly performed on the face, neck/ chest and back of hands. The treatment includes creating thousands of microscopic punctures to the skin using a pen-like device that has sterile needles in it. The needles penetrate to specific depths creating micro “injuries.” As a result, your body goes to work to “heal the wound,” and in the process new collagen and elastin are created. This helps to firm the skin and heal imperfections.

approximately $300 to treat the face, and a series of three to four treatments (one month apart) is most often recommended for initial therapy.

BLUE LIZARD NATIVE AMERICAN GALLERY Specializing in Jewelry, Art and Artifacts

Does microneedling hurt? Prior to treatment, a topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area, making the procedure well tolerated by most. It is generally described as being slightly uncomfortable, but not painful. Is there any downtime or recovery after this treatment? You can expect to look a little red the first 24 hours after treatment (like a sunburn). You need to avoid any unprotected sun exposure to the treatment area for seven days after your treatment. Mild swelling and occasionally bruising can occur, and dryness/slight peeling is expected around day three. Most clients return to their normal activities on post treatment day one and find the recovery to be easy. Where can I have this treatment done?

How much does microneedling cost?

Microneedling should only be performed in a clinical office and by licensed professionals to avoid complications such as infection. It is important that your provider is knowledgeable about facial anatomy and the safety of providing minimally invasive treatments. When in the care of a trained and licensed professional, microneedling is considered a very safe treatment.

The cost of microneedling varies depending on the part of the body being treated and how large the treatment area is, as well as where you are having the treatment completed. In general, it is

IF I LIFT HEAVY, I WILL GET

omen are serious 21st century warriors. Answering a call as wives, mothers, teammates, athletes and all-around radical individuals engaged in every hardcore pursuit alongside men. Women experience the same forces skiing, climbing, moving, running, biking, etc., and do so at a slight disadvantage. Men are generally stronger, able to carry more lean body mass and can safely operate at a lower body composition. Being equipped with more testosterone, men have a much easier time building muscle and lifting heavier during strength practice. But that does not mean that women should not lift and practice heavy strength training. In fact, it becomes even more crucial for women to do for numerous factors—especially as the glorious aging process develops, because they are nearly three times as likely to develop osteoporosis. After 30, the decline of bone density and lean body mass becomes critical to offset with well-practiced strength training.

BULKY

THE MYTHS AND HEALTH BENEFITS BEHIND WEIGHT TRAINING BY RYAN EGAN, LICENSED JOINT AND MOVEMENT SPECIALIST

But the common fear is that if I train heavy I will get bulky and end up looking like the enormous women of bodybuilding. This is a very scary myth because it keeps women from expressing their potential as humans and athletes, but even more importantly leaves them vulnerable to injury due to lack of overall strength, bone density, lean muscle mass, and soft-tissue tendon and ligament strength (which can be at increased risk due to monthly hormonal changes that leave these extremely important structures in a state of slightly increased laxity). Regardless of my professional opinion, the myth, although a logical concern, is very misleading. For one, the type of muscle hypertrophy (growth) seen in “bulky” women is directly attributed to numerous factors and a very specific and wellcalculated environment. There are two types of muscular hypertrophy: myofibril density (dense and tighter muscle growth) and sarcoplasmic hypertrophy (puffy, big, bulky muscle growth). Both are desirable reactions, but specific protocols in programming by well-equipped strength coaches can elicit more of one than the other. Furthermore, women are just not chemically and hormonally equipped to develop bulk and large muscles like a man. Much like a fruit tree, for the tree to produce the most abundant and bountiful fruit, all the correct environmental and chemical pieces must be in place or the fruit will not grow. When it comes to building muscle or “getting bulky,” most men have most of these pieces in place naturally; higher levels of testosterone being the key ingredient. There are, however, varying body types and predispositions genetically that will impose or impede building muscle, but generally men are much more inept. Besides the significant athletic benefits from heavy strength training, doing so utilizing complex movements will in fact develop all the muscles women want to look good. Butt, legs, arms (typically triceps, aka turkey arms), back, and at higher capabilities will in fact develop the abs. Besides the obvious athletic, health and cosmetic benefits, lifting heavy is crucial and vitally good for you—increased central nervous system activity, improved balance and coordination, as well as developed postural control and stability. Skeletal loading enhances bone density and muscular stimulation. Heavy lifting causes connective tissue stress and strength, and mental psychological demand and toughness. The key is finding a coach who can safely teach you how to progress and help you develop competent movement patterns so that increasing the weights during training is done safely. A good coach can also program the training to have a more bulk-avoiding effect. Heavy lifting while keeping the total volume low and the reps less than five is the key to remaining tight and small while expressing fantastic amounts of strength. The real hurdle is spending the time learning, but it will all pay off when you’re still skiing, running, biking or doing whatever you love; most importantly, being stronger and vibrant to play with your grandkids well into later life.

HEALTHY BONDS Provider and patient relationships more important than ever BY MARC STEWART

ani Jones has battled a myriad of health issues for nearly a decade.

The Coeur d’Alene woman suffers from thyroid disease, arthritis, vertigo and tremors. Also, she has been injured with various wounds and other minor ailments. Dani considers her longtime medical provider, Erika Mikles, a good and trusted friend. “I love her,” says Jones. “She’s great and she takes care of all my needs. If she’s not sure of something, she investigates it and figures it out.” Erika, a physician assistant for Heritage Health, acknowledges she has developed a special bond with Dani. “We have a great relationship,” says Erika. “Dani and I have really honest conversations. She knows I am someone who she can trust.” That trust has been built through dozens of interactions. “Sometimes I see her once a week, sometimes it’s once a month,” says Erika. “She has had a lot of challenges in her life. Sometimes I am just there as a sounding board, almost in the role of a therapist.”

to her concerns. She praises Erika for using plain language instead of relying on medical jargon. “She’s not above my level so to speak,” says Dani. “I don’t feel embarrassed to talk to her about anything. She makes me feel very comfortable. Erika treats you like a person, not just a number. With her, you are somebody.”

The provider-patient relationship is the bedrock of quality health care dating back to the days of house calls. Erika takes her responsibility as a provider seriously and strives to have the best relationship possible. “I hear patients over and over again say they just want to be heard,” says Erika. “I want to listen to them, I want to know their story, I want to know their living situation. I can’t make any recommendations until I know more about them.” Erika says providers can have a major impact on their patients’ emotional health. “I have some patients who are isolated from family and friends, and I am the closest relationship they have, and that is a privilege,” she says. “I am hoping in Dani’s case that if I can help make her feel better, her physical health will get better too.”

Dani has had less than ideal interactions with medical professionals in the past, largely in part because her previous providers had poor communication skills, including not listening

MAKING A FINANCIAL

WORLD OF

DIFFERENCE ONE WOMAN’S JOURNEY TO HELP OTHERS, ONE BUDGET AT A TIME BY ALISON HENSLEE PHOTOS COURTESY OF KUMIKO LOVE

hen a person goes to college and gets a degree, they typically learn a great deal about their chosen field, hoping to find a good job, make a lot of money and live the perfect dream life. For one Spokane, Washington, woman though, going from point A to point B has already happened in her 30-some years, but with a fascinating, and life-changing, twist. Kumiko Love, an accredited financial counselor and the creator of The Budget Mom, was raised on a farm in Chewelah, Washington, and lived a normal farm-girl life. She grew up, went off to college where she obtained a business administration degree—majoring in finance and accounting and minoring in economics. She got a job right out of college with an independent financial company in Spokane and worked for seven years as an administrative assistant and accredited financial counselor, helping other people wisely spend and save their money.

Pulling from every bit of knowledge she had, Miko became her own best client. Debt reduction became her number one focus, and she challenged herself to try different budgets but was unable to find one that completely worked for her. Her solution? Dig through all the budgets that she had tried and pick out the pieces in each of them that had worked for her. Then Miko carefully compiled those pieces and rolled them together until she created a budget worksheet that finally worked for her. Her paycheck system allowed Miko to outline her spending based on the money she was going to earn, and then she always knew exactly where her money was going ahead of time.

She also did traditional life things: got married and had a child. And then the not-so-planned life things: got a divorce and became sole financial provider for her then 2-year-old son, which was a challenge in itself, and then factor in substantial student loan debt, credit card debt and a new vehicle loan, all adding to her single mom level of stress.

Miko found the new budget worked and did everything she could to stay on course, using tools like a vision board and colorful debt payoff trackers to keep track of every single dollar she put toward paying down her debt. Every line she colored in on her payoff trackers represented not only another goal met but also a lot of hard work.

Miko found herself going to work feeling embarrassed because, as she puts it, “How am I supposed to tell these people how to manage their money when I can’t even manage my own?!” She had the knowledge, she knew the steps, but a long-time struggle with self-esteem issues made retail therapy a thing in her life, and it served as an antidote for her feeling of no self-worth. The more she struggled with that issue, the deeper in debt she went.

She whole-heartedly advocates using a vision board to track one’s financial goals. Her first board, started way back in 2011, simply had a photo of a really nice backpack that she wanted to save up for. Now, literally every single piece of her financial life is on multiple vision boards above her desk, and she marvels at how many financial “wishes” have already become realities—starting with that long-ago backpack!

Being a mom was so meaningful to her, Miko knew she had to take steps to work on her personal self-development so she could be the best parent to her son. The pivotal financial turning point happened when she finally faced her debt. Writing it all out on paper and seeing her real debt numbers—almost $78,000!—in black and white was all the motivation she needed.

CDALivingLocal.com

Another thing that worked for Miko was following her own advice,

CDALivingLocal.com

Another thing that worked for Miko was following her own advice, “If you can’t reduce spending, you need to increase income.”

“If you can’t reduce spending, you need to increase income.” After combing through and cutting out as much unnecessary spending from her monthly budget as she could and still coming up short, Miko then considered her options. She could go find an additional job, but then she would be putting her son in additional daycare, so there would be an extra expense. She weighed out that option and decided it wouldn’t be worth the money or time away from her son. So then Miko looked at her favorite hobbies, wondering if there was something that she loved to do that could bring in additional money. And so she decided to fine-tune her love of photography. After watching countless hours of YouTube videos and reading on the subject, she used that talent and found work as a real estate photographer to supplement her income. It was perfect because it was

something she could do on her time off and take her son with her. She worked hard, stayed focused and scraped together every penny she could to go toward lowering those balances. She began to see progress but, deep down inside, she was bursting at the seams with what she was learning and with every accomplishment, every bill paid, every line colored in—Miko just wanted to shout her knowledge out to other single moms. She knew there were other moms out there who understood exactly where she was coming from and knew what it felt like to be in her shoes; women who could benefit from what she was learning to do the same thing: get out from under those mountains of debt. She wanted to share it with everyone! So one night, not able to stay quiet one

second longer, Miko grabbed her computer and started typing. Her first post flowed into a steady stream of posts; she began sharing the tools she was using: the colorful tracking charts, cash envelope system and her paycheck budget binder. Though her blog, newsletter, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, even Amazon accounts, Miko shares her best tips, ideas and tools that have worked for her, and dedicates herself to holding true to the purpose that she believes she was put on earth—to do something great. Helping people is her passion, and Miko throws herself at it with all of her heart. Every bit of communication is answered personally by her and, now, her assistant. They have posted a video on Instagram every single day for a year-and-ahalf now.

She believes the most effective motivation for anyone is to invoke feeling, adding that “… every article we share or video we post is done with the thought, ‘Is this going to invoke feeling?’ Because without provoking feeling, there’s not going to be action, and people take action because they feel something.” Miko has definitely evoked feeling. Her fans clamored for more, so she began offering free resources and marketing her tools: colorful cash envelopes and trackers, worksheets, planners and her Budget by Paycheck workbooks that are now being sold around the world. Miko was shocked when she went viral. Her fan base is growing rapidly—she adds about 1,000 followers per day, and she has nearly 65,000 subscribers on YouTube. Google “The Budget Mom” and you’ll find her story goes on for pages. She’s been featured on “Good Morning America” and other talk shows, her story told in endless articles, and currently she’s planning her first speaking event in Spokane Valley (October 23 at the CenterPlace Regional Event Center). “I had no idea The Budget Mom would ever be this big, that so many people wanted to change their financial lives,” Miko says of her newfound status as a financial influencer, “but it helps me pursue my passion of helping people every day, which makes me happy!” When asked what makes her different than other financial bloggers, she believes there are two things that have made her successful: One, sharing her real numbers since day one. Miko believes in teaching from experience, not by example, so she’s completely transparent about her entire debt story. And two, having a personal connection with her fans. People are surprised when she responds to their correspondence, but that’s her way of making an impact, which she feels also keeps her relatable. Miko especially loves hearing how her advice helps people find their way out of debt, saving relationships and lives—because her advice works. Remember that $78,000 in debt she was buried under? Miko paid it off in full four years later, the bulk of it in eight months after her Budget Mom business started growing. As of last year, she and her business are 100 percent debt-free. Her current goal? Saving enough money to buy her first home with cash. And yes, that means she’s still practicing what she preaches and living very frugally! Sometimes it’s challenging to make that sacrifice when you want something now, but

Miko advocates the rewards that come from being a patient spender. Her goal of paying cash for a home will hopefully then allow her to travel and spend more time with her son, and without a mortgage to deal with, Miko can entertain the thought of retiring early. Miko’s biggest message to those struggling under a mountain of debt is to take that first small step and the next one and just continue to stick with it. She encourages people to keep their motivation in front of them, to not lose heart at having to do without, especially because this isn’t going to be their permanent way of living.

“I had no idea The Budget Mom would ever be this big, that so many people wanted to change their financial lives. but it helps me pursue my passion of helping people every day, which makes me happy!”

Per Miko’s own experience, the sacrifice you’re making today is going to be worth it when you are finally getting to live the life you really want and be able to do whatever you would like. She might be small in stature but Miko Love is making a really big impact in the world, generously dispensing her budgeting and living frugally knowledge so that others can live debt-free lives also, one carefully saved (and spent) penny at a time.

Halloween At Home Creating your own costume

CDALivingLocal.com

ith just weeks until Halloween, you, like many others, probably won’t start thinking about your costume until the last minute. You can always run to the big box store and grab something off the rack, but why spend the money when you probably have all you need for a unique getup laying around your house? Find your creative side by utilizing some of these common household items for a fun, goofy or spooky new look. The WAY back of the closet It’s likely you’ve got some outfits stashed away that are 20-plus years old (and likely even older at Grandma and Grandpa’s house). Dig out the floral tank tops, bellbottom or acid-wash jeans, and transport yourself back to a previous generation. Maybe Grandpa still has pinstripe suit and fedora for an easy mobster look. Old wedding dresses or bridesmaid dresses that you don’t mind altering can pair with ghoulish makeup for zombie or vampire brides and prom dates. Kids love playing dress up, so why not make them look just as you did when you were 8 years old and “super cool.” Cardboard Many of us have packages shipped to our homes almost daily, and the stack of cardboard in the garage can quickly get out of control. Use your imagination, slap on some color and find hundreds of ways to utilize this light-weight accessory. Build armor, a sword or shield. Turn yourself into a tablet, wall calendar or TV screen. Kids can use large boxes with a cutout for their heads to become robots and adults, perhaps a box of wine? At the end of the night you can choose to keep the costume for another year or recycle it easily at a cost of roughly $0.

CDALivingLocal.com

Bedsheets and pillowcases

Mimic your favorite TV/movie character

If you are really in a last-minute pinch, a white bedsheet and powdery make-up on your face is a quick ghost costume. If you want a scarier look, cover the sheet in fake blood and pretend you are a cadaver from the morgue. Sheets make great capes for little princesses and little super heroes, and instead of buying a mask from the store, create your own by cutting out some eye and mouth holes in an old pillowcase. Kids who want to hit every house on the block and then some might also consider using a pillowcase to haul all their candy, as regular buckets can easily overflow, and you can throw it over your shoulder when it gets heavy.

This might require a trip to the local thrift store but shouldn’t break the bank. Going as a character simply means finding everyday clothes that match their look. A brown bathrobe, shorts and a bowling ball and you’re easily transformed into The Dude; black suit, white shirt and black tie and your an agent from “Men in Black”; a lab coat, purple shirt, pink shorts and doctor’s bag and your little one is their favorite cartoon doctor. Re-watch your favorite movie or show, take a look at your character and find clothing and accessories that make you look as authentic as possible.

Old wedding dresses or bridesmaid dresses that you don’t mind altering can pair with ghoulish makeup for zombie or vampire brides and prom dates. CDALivingLocal.com

Mom’s makeup

Halloween doesn’t have to be expensive, and your creative costume made at home will catch more eyes and grab more comments than those bought at a store (and that you’ll probably see five of during your night). Figure out what you want to be and, before running out of the house, dig around in the closets, storage bins and attic to see what you can utilize for your unique look. Have a happy Halloween, and feel free to share your best DIY costumes with us on our social media platforms!

Maybe not her favorite lipsticks and eye shadows, but those ones that don’t get used as often can be very versatile for the look you are going for. Dark shades of eye shadow can create black eyes and bruises. Mascara can color in a beard to become jet black, and eyeliner can make cuts, scars or stitches. Bold lipstick colors will make you stand out, and nail polish can be wacky and mismatched for a clown or goofy character, or fit for a fairytale princess.

Your Fall Activities Bucket List

FAMILY FRIENDLY FUN AWAITS BY JILLIAN CHANDLER

he leaves are changing to hues of deep reds and golden yellows, and the days and nights have turned cool and crisp. Fall has arrived here in the Northwest, and with it an abundance of activities that are sure to bring smiles to everyone’s faces.

The many varieties and colors of the leaves can also make for a fun afternoon art project. Have the kids gather a dozen or so of their favorite leaves and let their imaginations soar as they create their own unique fall leaf art projects. I still remember placing a white piece of paper over the leaf, peeling the wrapper off of the crayon, then rubbing the crayon onto the paper to make the outline of the leaf and all of its veins and stem.

The autumn months may be a bit chilly, but these activities are sure to warm the hearts of every family member both young and old.

You don’t have to look to your own backyard to enjoy the leaves. As the fall foliage could easily make the season one of the most rich and colorful of the year, take the family out for a walk in nature, or even a drive, to take in the sights that this season blesses us with.

As the leaves slowly make their way down to the ground, it calls for some yard cleanup. But instead of just raking up those leaves and throwing the piles into a garbage bag—the festive pumpkin trash bags are most certainly the way to go this time of the year—let the kids have some fun! There’s nothing like jumping into a big pile of leaves, throwing them in the air or at one another, and just lying in them and daydreaming the day away. Who needs snow angels when you can make leaf angels? And this makes for a prime time to snap some great action-packed photos of the kids. And Mom and Dad, don’t forget to join in the fun. All work and no play was never good for anyone.

CDALivingLocal.com

Looking for a little adventure? Rather than going to your local supermarket to pick out your pumpkins—whether they be for carving or cooking—plan a trip to a local you-pick pumpkin patch. Here the kids can roam around outdoors and in the fresh air and choose their very own unique pumpkin to carve just in time for Halloween. In addition, select your own pumpkins and other squash available for purchase to decorate your front porch or create an autumn centerpiece for your

dining room table. And don’t forget, grab a few extra for those pumpkin pies, baked pumpkin seeds, squash soups and more. And let the kids help in the meal preparation. There’s nothing like preparing meals, farm to table, with your family by your side. Another exciting, and tasty, outing is to head to that local apple orchard. Be sure to bring the wagon and get picking. Many orchards allow you to taste the different apple offerings so you can choose your favorites before picking. The kids are sure to get a workout running about, climbing ladders and picking the apples. As a treat, once you’ve arrived back at home, make caramel apples and let the kids decorate with candy. Make homemade apple chips and applesauce—what kid doesn’t love applesauce? And plan on preparing and canning some of the apples for those warm, delicious homemade Thanksgiving and Christmas pies. Your guests are sure to be impressed. Fall is the time for fields of sunflowers, corn mazes and haunted houses. Running through a corn maze, getting “lost” or finding oneself at a dead end, offers a thrill for most children. And as long as you go during daylight hours, it’s sure to leave them smiling once they make their way out. Most children love excitement, and a haunted house provides just that. Just be sure that the haunted house you enter is age appropriate for your child, as there’s no fun in having your child leave in tears. Many towns hold fall festivals and carnivals, where you can experience a little bit of everything “fall” including delicious fall foods to warm you up, autumn décor for sale, entertainment, hayrides and more. Get in the spirit and make sure to attend one and support your local community and businesses. Many think of springtime when it comes to gardening. But the best time of the year to plant bulbs is in the fall, six to eight weeks before the first hard frost makes its appearance. Bundle up the kiddos, break out the gardening gloves and tools, and make an afternoon of fun which all will be rewarded in the spring with a yard full of beautiful, colorful tulips and daffodils. The kids are sure to be proud of the part they played when they see the first blooms of spring.

IT'S FOOTBALL SEASON Time to get cookin’ - BY TROY LOUIS CHANDLER -

Fall is here, and it’s that time of year most everyone has been anticipating all year—football season. And what’s better than watching the game with friends and family than with some great food to satisfy your hunger for the game. I have to admit, I’m not the biggest football fan, but I do enjoy cooking up my family’s favorite football snacks (I’m a chef, so it’s kind of expected of me) while they enjoy the game in the other room. Below you will find several of my easy-tomake football favorites. You’ll enjoy them so much, you might forget about the big game all together! Now get cooking!

SLOW-COOKED PULLED PORK SLIDERS In your favorite crock pot, InstaPot, Dutch oven or cast-iron pot, braise pork shoulder until fork tender with cumin, chili powder and a touch of liquid smoke. Reduce or remove liquid and combine shredded pork with your best barbecue sauce. Serve with grain mustard and chopped pickles on slider buns.

BEST BREAD AND CHEESE BOWL Carve out a fresh sourdough bread bowl, saving the top and "guts." Mix the following ingredients and stuff the bread bowl, replacing the top and using bread "guts" as dipping vessels. Here’s how we do it: one pack Boursin cheese, 1/2 pound shredded white cheddar; juice of one lemon; juice of one orange; two chipotle peppers with adobo sauce, minced; three garlic cloves, minced; and a 1/4 cup honey. This recipe will create two to four bread bowls, depending on size. You can also substitute mini dinner rolls for smaller servings if you plan on having a lot of company.

MINI FISH TACOS WITH COLESLAW Purchase your favorite mini corn taco skins and fish. Mahi-mahi (dorado) is an amazing choice, but your favorite fish will do. Grill or deep fry the tortillas and grill the fish. Then use this amazing coleslaw recipe and garnishes to make the best fish tacos on the planet, or at least in your cul de sac. You’ll need one part rice wine vinegar and one part sugar. Bring to just a boil and turn off. Cool and set aside. Then mix your concoction with your slaw to blow the minds of your guests. You can also add a touch of mayo for a creamier slaw. You're welcome.

CDALivingLocal.com

BIG BOY BITES Man up boys, here we go. I have to add that most women can out hot pepper us, but shhh .... Split jalapeños in half removing seeds and ribs. Add a one-ounce piece of smoked gouda cheese to each half, then wrap the pepper in prosciutto (or bacon). Bake at 350° for six to eight minutes. Your taste buds will be sizzling and your mind blown after indulging in one of these spicy, savory bites.

DASTARDLY DIRTY DEVILED EGGS This is a unique take on an all-time classic. Peel and cut chilled hardboiled eggs in half lengthwise (bring eggs and water to a light boil for 11 minutes, then run under cold water or chill in the refrigerator until cold). In a bowl or food processor, blend the yolks with avocado, mayo, minced pickles, and salt and pepper to taste. When creamy, pipe mixture (or spoon) back into egg whites. Garnish with smoked paprika and bacon bits.

BIG GAME CHARCUTERIE BOARD Now, you can stick to the basics of salami, cheese and crackers, but why would you do that when the internet is now filled with farm-raised “wild” game that you can easily purchase online? Grab a large wood cutting board and fill it up with fun items like bacon-wrapped grilled antelope, elk sausage and venison meatballs glazed with barbecue sauce. To that add a few of your favorite cheeses, a sliced French baguette, specialty wine jams and some fancy mustards and pickles, and you will have the best meat and cheese platter in your football bracket!

ASHEVILLE Gilded Age culture and fall foliage on the Blue Ridge Parkway By Marguerite Cleveland Photos Courtesy of Explore Asheville and The Biltmore Company

ot many people realize that one of the founders of modern forestry in the United States was a Vanderbilt. The Biltmore Estate was cobbled together from George Vanderbilt’s land purchases in the Asheville area. Many were farms where the land was considered worn out. Fredrick Law Olmsted (design Central Park), who was hired to landscape the property, was not impressed with the 125,000 acres which were in a deplorable condition. Vanderbilt hired Gifford Pinchot to manage the forests on the estate, and he later became the first Chief of the United States Forest Service. Later on, the first school of forestry in North America, The Biltmore School of Forestry, was operated on the estate by Dr. Carl A. Schenck. After Vanderbilt’s death, around 86,000 acres of the estate were sold to the United State Forest Service to establish the Pisgah National Forest, one of the first in the Eastern United States. Most fall foliage destinations tend to have a peak week when hordes of people descend upon the area to see autumn flora at its best. The wooded areas surrounding Asheville, North Carolina, and the forests observed from the Blue Ridge Parkway have one of the longest and most diverse fall foliage seasons in the world. The Biltmore Estate With its history of forestry, the Biltmore Estate is the perfect destination for a fall foliage trip, and you can stay right on the estate. The Village Hotel provides a casual-style stay and is close to the winery and other shopping and dining activities. But for a true Biltmore experience you need to step it up and stay at the Inn on Biltmore

Estate. It is luxurious with interiors that make you feel like you are a guest in the Biltmore House. Enjoy rooms decorated like Gilded Age visitors enjoyed. The staff is outstanding and provides warm Southern hospitality without any stuffiness. There are a variety of dining options on the estate with the ingredients for many dishes grown or produced right on the estate. During your stay in Asheville, make sure to allow plenty of time to tour and experience all the estate has to offer. Your admission includes a selfguided tour of the historic Biltmore House and access to the grounds. There are a variety of optional add-on tours. The Audio Guide to Biltmore is well worth the $15 extra cost with its music and description of what life was like when the home was first built. The Legacy of the Land Tour gets you behind the scenes on the estate while you learn more about the history of the land. Visit the Outdoor Adventure Center to book fun outside activities, many you won’t see anywhere else. Enjoy a ride with Belgian draft horses pulling an elegant carriage, or try your hand at falconry and learn how to interact with a hawk or falcon. You may have been to many wineries before, but the Biltmore Winery is really special with its self-guided tour and many tasting options. The winery is the

most visited in the country and produces about 150,000 cases annually. Blue Ridge Parkway The Blue Ridge Parkway is one of the most scenic roads in America. With fall foliage peaking in October, the parkway is a wonder to behold. It meanders for a total of 469 miles following the ridge of the Blue Ridge Mountains leading to stunning views. The parkway utilizes a milepost system which makes it easier to track where you are on the parkway. Before heading out to the parkway, grab a picnic lunch from the WellBred Bakery & Café, which prides itself on fresh sandwiches, salads and bakery treats. Heading south from Asheville on the parkway, stop at milepost 382 and tour the Blue Ridge Parkway Visitor Center for information, maps and a movie about the area. Here you’ll also find the Folk Art Center for demonstrations and eclectic local folk art. Plan to hike Mount Pisgah while exploring the Blue Ridge Parkway. Enjoying the views from the loggia at Biltmore House you can see

Mount Pisgah in the distance. The estate once stretched all the way to this peak. The 5,721-foot summit can be accessed from milepost 407.6 on the parkway. The moderate 2.6-mile round-trip trail will take you to an observation platform which affords stunning views of the mountains and, on a clear day, Asheville is visible. Asheville Allow a day to spend time exploring Asheville, a funky mountain city with a rich architectural history. Its many Art Deco, Beaux Arts and Neoclassical buildings are now home to locally owned shops, more than 30 art galleries and an exciting culinary scene. Throw in some live music and you have a special destination which will draw you back again and again. A fun way to tour the city is to experience the Urban Trail, which is essentially the city’s outdoor history museum. The tour is 1.7 miles long and has 30 stations that highlight the city’s historic and cultural stories. At each stop you will find a bronze plaque and a piece of art. Learn about notable characters, many whom you may recognize such as Thomas Wolfe, F. Scott Fitzgerald and O. Henry. Start at the front of Pack Place on Asheville’s Park Square for Plaque #1, “Walk Into History.” Set aside a couple of hours to complete the tour while allowing plenty of time to have lunch and shop. Another unique Asheville activity is to book a foraging tour with No Taste Like Home. This interesting tour will take you out into the forests near Asheville to forage 12 to15 edibles. It also includes a cooking

demonstration and tasting. Later head to a local restaurant to enjoy an appetizer made from what you foraged. Three days before the tour you will receive an email with your meeting location based on the weather and what foods are available to forage. For a truly spectacular meal, dine at Vue 1913 in the historic Omni Grove Park Inn. This is a AAA Four Diamond Restaurant and consistent winner of the Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence. The menu is a haute cuisine take on Southern favorites with plenty of rustic, local ingredients. With beautiful views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this Art-Deco dining room is stunning. It is well worth the splurge. Fall is a peak time to visit the Asheville area, so plan accordingly and book reservations not only for lodging but also for restaurants and activities. If possible, plan to visit on weekdays when you will experience less people. The Explore Asheville website is an excellent tool to plan your visit. There are many posts that highlight local small businesses and the people that make Asheville such a great place to visit. It also has an interactive fall color map and fall leaves schedule to help you plan the perfect time to visit.

Idaho’s Newest Comic Book and Pop Culture Show Returns October 19 marks the second annual Lake City Comicon BY JILLIAN CHANDLER | PHOTO BY MIKE LAVERDURE

AT THIS AFFORDABLE FAMILY FUN EXPERIENCE, ATTENDEES WILL FIND MEMORABLE COSPLAY, GUESTS, LOCAL ARTIST AND BUSINESSES. Lake City Comicon 2019 will feature 75 exhibitors selling a variety of comics, toys, collectibles, arts and crafts, original art, jewelry, games, books and more October 19 from 10am to 4pm. Also at the event, you will find professional special guest actors, entertainers, artists and creators for people to meet and interact with. And don’t forget, this event offers guests the unique opportunity to dress up in costume—aka cosplay. “We blew the doors off the Jacklin Building at the Kootenai County Fairgrounds [at our inaugural event],” says Nathan O’Brien, founder and CEO of the Lilac City Comicon in Spokane (the largest comic book and pop culture convention in Eastern Washington since 2007). “Being it was a first year experiment in 2018, we set our expectations low and figured we’d be happy with 200 to 300 people. Instead we had over 1,300 people turn out for our first inaugural show!”

HIGHLIGHT EVENT

Nathan’s flagship show in Spokane had been so successful that the decision was made to create a second show and host it in Coeur d’Alene, “where there was potentially fans of comic books, art and pop culture that had never been to Spokane for Lilac City Comicon,” according to Nathan. “After the success with our inaugural show, this helped establish another affordable single-day event to appeal to new fans but also satisfy current fans with two shows a year.”

Nathan says the highlight of this year’s event includes special guest actor Zack Ward (“A Christmas Story,” “Freddy vs Jason,” “Transformers”); actor Carla Perez (aka Rita Repulsa from “Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers)”; and Hall of Fame Wrestler Greg Valentine (WWF, WWE). Tickets are available at the door for $6 each or $5 with a canned food donation. Ages 12 and younger are free to attend.

The exhibitor floor covers 16,500 square feet, featuring a variety of local artists and business from the area, including local food trucks outside the Jacklin Building available during show hours.
