It’s time to allow the return of routine and the hustle and bustle of early mornings now that school’s back in session. Even with the busyness—and added stress—this time of year can bring, it also carries with it comfort, knowing our children have the opportunity to experience a positive environment for learning and discovery, surrounded by the familiar faces of friends, classmates and teachers, filling in time with sports, music, theater, and other extracurriculars they so enjoy. As the seasons change, and summer turns to fall, this time of year offers its own beauty and experiences. Though you might not be getting out on the water now, there’s still much to enjoy here in the Northwest. All you have to do is step outside and take in the natural changes that are occurring, as the leaves change color, the air cools, and the sun rises later and sets earlier. We can slow down just a bit, as the tourist season dissipates. This is the time for locals to enjoy the place they call home without the plethora of visitors. Take advantage of dining at your favorite local restaurants, visiting your favorite shops and galleries, taking the kids to the park or picnicking on the water. This fall, don’t fall back into the same old routines that leave you wanting more. Make a point to experience things you may have overlooked during the hustle and bustle of the summer. Breathe in the fresh, cooler air, embrace the colors that surround you, say “hello” to those you pass on the street. It’s time to welcome autumn and the changes it brings.

CARING FOR OUR TREES How to Identify, Prune and Remove by JOSHUA NISHIMOTO 18 COEUR D’ALENE LIVING LOCAL september/october 2022

The first step to ensuring tree health is to inspect the tree and then prune it. Pruning a tree removes dead branches, diseased trees, and weak limbs. When thinning, reducing and shaping branches and limbs tiny enough to cut with hand tools, keep in mind that your cuts are going to encourage new growth. With that in mind, cut limbs ¼ inch above a bud that faces the outside of the plant. This will be the direction of the new growth. Keep your cuts at a 45-degree angle to prevent water damage and disease.
As the leaves fall in autumn and new growth occurs in the spring, it’s important to take the time to inspect your trees and take proper care and precautions to ensure that not only is your tree healthy but, within this process, taking proper precautions to ensure the safety of the environment for everyone around the tree. This should be your number one priority.
For thick tree limbs, it’s important to use the three-cut pruning technique to allow a callus to form. Properly pruned tree branches form a callus where the removed branch was. The callus is important to the health of the tree. Most tree branches that are cut back to the trunk or the main branch will require three cuts to prevent damage to the bark. The first two cuts remove the weight from the tree branch, and the final cut is designed for the best callus growth.
When pruning, one must begin the process as soon as the tree is planted to ensure a tree’s health lasts the entirety of its lifespan. Diseased, dead and broken branches should be removed right away. There is no need to prune until the first winter after planting. Regular pruning throughout the tree’s lifespan reduces the amount of work necessary and the stress on the tree.

What do you do if you spot a dead tree growing in your yard? Before you call your local tree service company, there are a few visual signs that will help you out, as well as some tests you can perform on your own. Inspect the tree’s trunk. Identify any cracks or exposed and smooth surface areas mentioned previously. Trunks with severe damage increase the chances that you might have a dead tree in your care. Be sure to look at the base of the tree for any growing fungus. Fungus is often an initial sign that the tree is dead. Fungus on the trunk usually means that the tree’s internal trunk is rotted out, signaling that the only living thing in this situation is the fungus itself.
While there are many symptoms of a dying tree, here are a few that you might be able to spot on your own: vertical cracks or seams in a tree’s trunk, fallen bark, a leaning tree (possible root damage), or dead leaves clinging to their branches throughout winter.
One should be careful when pruning in the fall.
While there is never a bad time to remove dead limbs from a tree, it’s important to note that one should be careful when pruning in the fall. Pruning during a cold fall can introduce the tree to disease. Pruning during a warm fall can encourage new growth, which can be damaged when temperatures drop.

And then there is the scratch and break test. The scratch test is the easiest way to tell if your tree is healthy. All you need is a small knife. Use the knife to scratch or mark the outside of the tree’s branches. A healthy tree should show lots of green colors and be relatively moist. Do this test on a few different spots on the tree. A break test works similarly, however, instead of cutting open the tree, you are breaking small branches to check the condition of the insides of the branch.
Dead trees are a safety risk for you, your family, or others in your community. A dead tree could potentially come down on top of your house, car, or play area, which is why it is important to properly identify if a tree is dead and if removal of the tree is needed.
It is generally a good idea to remove a tree if the following factors are present: 50 percent or more of the tree is damaged; the tree is located near hazardous areas, such as telephone poles/wires, electrical lines, or common areas enjoyed by people; or removing the existing tree would benefit other trees or plants in the area, giving those healthy plants a chance to thrive.
If you have determined that your tree or a tree in your neighborhood is dead and may need to be removed, go ahead and contact your local treeremoving company or contact a certified arborist for more information about the best way to remove the Takingtree.the time to inspect, prune and remove dead trees will greatly benefit your trees and the human and plant life around them. Taking the proper steps to inspect, prune and remove any dead limb or tree will ensure your tree will open up the canopy to let light and air filter throughout the entire tree and allows for increased foliage, while decreasing the chance of disease. Your trees will thank you for it.

New windows to brighten your home
26 COEUR D’ALENE LIVING LOCAL september/october 2022
T here’s something about natural light that is considerably more calming. Maybe it’s because natural light provides for essential nutrients for the body, boosting mood and productivity. Perhaps it’s because natural light is soft and brings with it warmth. Whatever the reason, we need it. Of course, the best source of light is outdoors, but weather doesn’t always permit outdoor activities. The best way to get natural light indoors is through our windows. Unfortunately, our windows aren’t always up to the task. Some older homes were often built with small windows to conserve heat—and provide little light. Many homes were originally built with large windows, but they are often single pane, making them inefficient. Many of our home’s windows are in severe need of an update. For a modern look, and a living space that you love to be in, updated windows are the answer. Here is all you need to know about updating your windows to get the most of the waning winter light and best of the summer heat.

Windows that aren’t working properly let out valuable heat, leaving your home improperly insulated. Windows also play a valuable part in allowing for air flow, making the house easy to cool in the summer. Old windows, small windows, or badly placed windows make for a hot house in the summer and a cold house in the winter. This means that your home will be expensive to heat and cool. Replacing your windows will save you money in the long run.

It’s often easy to tell when a window needs replacing. Older homes originally installed with single-pane windows lose heat easily. Homes with small windows that don’t let in natural light need larger windows. If the window lets in or out moisture, which allows for the collection of mold or condensation, that’s a sure sign that the window needs to be replaced, or properly sealed. If you feel that your rooms are not getting enough light, your windows are too high up, or if you simply want an updated look to your home, it may be time to replace your windows. When to replace.

The best window options for you may depend largely on the room that the window resides. For instance, small bedrooms may need vertical windows for optimal light, and kitchens may need skylights for overhead lighting. You may choose floor-to-ceiling windows for rooms that allow for a certain comfort or effect where privacy is not an issue. Whether the window is fixed or operable is up to you, and largely depends on whether you have light or ventilation in mind for its use. Regardless of what you choose, double-pain windows with locks are a must. options.

There are as many different window design styles as there are types of rooms. There are single and double hung windows, which open in an up-and-down motion either just from the bottom or both from the bottom and top. There are arched windows, bow windows and bay windows (which all curve or stretch outward for effect). There are windows that open both inward and outward. There are windows installed for a purpose, such as egress or garden windows. There are windows that don’t open, such as picture windows or glass block windows. Whatever your desire, there’s a window to match.
Some counties have a rebate program in place to help residents upgrade or replace windows. Some stores offer deals for homeowners looking to upgrade their windows, in the hopes of making a profit off of the bulk of work that needs to be done. As for window pricing, it’s important to find a trustworthy contractor to give you an honest assessment of your pricing options. Most contractors will offer a free assessment in the hope that you will buy windows through them. An independent contractor is your best bet for smaller jobs, as they will be able to offer more flexible pricing with smaller overhead fees.

ALEX Fundraiser aims to make the impossible become possible
According to supporters, Alex was then life-flighted to Sacred Heart Hospital, where he found out the fall had broken his back and paralyzed him from the waist down. “The doctors gave him no chance of ever walking, standing, or crawling again,” said Caples. Since the accident, Alex has been going through extensive rehab, visiting the Craig Hospital Rehabilitation Center in Colorado off and on throughout the past year. His treatments have been paying off. “He can now crawl and has been able to take steps with assistance,” Caples said. “It’s a complete blessing and miracle.”
“He wakes up every morning with determination,” Kayla said of her husband. “He faces his everyday challenges with grace and patience. Alex is so humble, and he’d never tell anyone this, but seven weeks after he broke his back, he finished a 30k hand cycle bike ride, joined wheelchair basketball, and competed in CrossFit where he finished ninth in the world!”
Hope for “To know Alex is to love him. If we could all be half of who Alex is, this world would be that much sweeter.” by TAYLOR SHILLAM
On July 27, 2021, just nine days after his first wedding anniversary, Alex fell from a truss while working on a job site for his company, Cutline Construction. “He says he knew the moment he hit the ground that he was paralyzed, like a light switch just shut off,” said Serena Caples, a close family friend.
o his friends and family, Coeur d’Alene resident Alex Bouder is a determined 27-year-old entrepreneur. His wife Kayla describes him as the strongest man she knows—humble, strong and inspiring.
He was still in the back brace for that hand cycle race, and “everyone thought he was crazy—in a good way!” shared Kayla.

Outside support for his treatment remains important as he works for continued progress. Through it all, his primary source of support has been his wife, Kayla, who works locally at both the North Star Retirement Community and Kootenai Health to make up for the loss of their second income. “She is a true blessing,” Caples said. “We are hoping that this event gives Alex the means he needs to better his quality of life,” Caples shared. “That could be anything from wheelchair parts to rehabilitation.

If you could show love to one person who would cherish it, I encourage you to show that love to this hard-working couple.”

Hayden Meadows Elementary School “When you get to do something you love every day, it’s rewarding in ways hard to put into words,” shared Meg Westrup, fifth grade teacher at Hayden Meadows Elementary School and Coeur d’Alene School District’s 2022 “Rookie” Teacher of the Year. “Let’s just say, I’m doing what I feel God created me to do. To be able to establish a joyful, respectful, and safe classroom community that kids want to be part of is always what I strive for, first and foremost. You could say my inspiration for becoming a teacher was just listening to my Thisheart!”September marks the start of her fourth year as a certificated teacher (and the end of her “rookie” status). “I was humbled to receive the honor,” Westrup said. “I get to work alongside some amazing teachers, but to be named as the overall district ‘rookie’ was pretty shocking.” She described being “frozen” in surprise upon hearing the news. “It was also St. Paddy’s Day, so I was wearing all the things, including a blinking hat,” she said. “Needless to say, my students, family and friends were very excited, and I’m overwhelmed by the recognition.”
After graduation, Allie is set to pursue nursing at Brigham Young University in Idaho. “My mom is a nurse, so I’ve seen firsthand how amazing this job is. I love how many opportunities and different fields the career has,” she said. But first, Allie looks forward to spending time with friends this school year, and taking on a leadership role as ASB treasurer. “Everyone always says high school goes by fast, and I didn’t believe them until now,” Allie said. “I want to make the most of my last year.”

It was cool to see the fight that we all had to win.”
Then, in her last volleyball season, Allie didn’t play at all the first few games. She sought guidance from her coach on what she could work on to get out on the court. “With her input, I would put in extra time every day to work on those things,” she said. That included extra practice on NIC’s beach courts, plus before and after her scheduled team practices. “I knew I wasn’t going to see results right away, but it would take time and patience.” By mid-season, Allie was starting. Allie enjoys everything about sports. “I have been blessed with some of the best coaches for both volleyball and basketball. They care so much about us and help us all to reach our potential.” One of her main takeaways as an athlete has been: “If you want something, you’re going to have to work to get it.
“I’ve also learned you have to do what’s best for you,” she said. “Sports have taught me to express my opinion in a kind way, and to make sure to communicate.”

“There is so much bad information out there about forestry and its impact, and the timber industry and its impact, and so on.”
Two of IFOA’s charter members are husband and wife Kirk and Madeline David, who have spent their entire adult lives living in Northern Idaho and investing in the study and practice of forestry.
IFOA-EF’s role in the project is creating interpretive signs that are placed along 9B Trail’s Enchanted Forest trail system. The foundation’s signs help to educate people about the surrounding forest lands, pointing out things like rare trees, thinning areas and new tree plantation plots along the trail.
Another important partnership for IFOA-EF is with Project Learning Tree (PLT), an award-winning environmental education program designed to help educate teachers and individuals who work with youth about the value of forestry in Idaho.
“We want people to understand where they live,” IFOA-EF Director and Treasurer Marrion Banks said. “We want them to understand the value of Idaho’s forested lands and the importance of managing them carefully to preserve forest resources.”
“We have to reach the younger people—the kids,” Marrion explained.
T
Currently, Madeline serves as a director and treasurer for IFOA, while Kirk is one of the five directors of the education foundation, alongside Marrion. “My favorite thing that I get to do is helping private forest landowners learn about and manage their forest,” Kirk said. “Educating people about forestry and helping them manage their forest properly— being good stewards of the land—is what gets me up in the morning every Currently,day.”
The education foundation sponsors teachers to participate in PLT Idaho’s annual Sustainable Forestry Tour—a four-day immersive
he state of Idaho—and particularly the northern panhandle— is full of vibrant forest lands that provide habitats for wildlife, water resources and timber production.
IFOA-EF is an extension of the Idaho Forest Owners Association (IFOA), which has been around since 1982. Initially, IFOA was formed to advocate for forest landowners in the state due to taxation-related issues. Over the years, the group’s membership and mission has expanded and evolved to cover a broader span of issues, ranging from forestry education to estate planning.
byCHRISTIANWEANER
one of IFOA-EF’s largest projects—overseen by Kirk—is the foundation’s partnership with 9B Trails, a nonprofit entity that aims to develop new non-motorized hiking and biking trails in Boundary County.
Since its founding in 2016, the Idaho Forest Owners Association Education Foundation (IFOA-EF) has raised funds to support various projects that promote sustainable forestry practices and educate the public about the beautiful state that they call home.
“I can’t think of one [teacher] that has come back that hasn’t said, ‘That opened my eyes,’” Madeline said.
In all of their partnerships and advocacy work, IFOA-EF’s primary aim is to educate people about how forestry works and why it is important. In doing so, the organization seeks to remind people that Idaho forestry is not only important economically and ecologically, but is essential for the proper care and stewardship of the land they live on.
During the Sustainable Forestry Tour, participants tour high-tech mills, visit forests, meet people who are passionate about forestry and learn about how they can inspire the next generation’s appreciation for Idaho forests. After the tour, IFOA-EF asks the teachers they sponsor to write an article about the experience for the organization’s quarterly newsletter.

“MY FAVORITE THING THAT I GET TO DO IS HELPING PRIVATE FOREST LANDOWNERSABOUTLEARNAND
Another potential avenue of forestry advocacy that Marrion and the Davids said IFOA-EF is considering is sponsoring workshops to educate Realtors about the forest land that they are selling to people who are moving into the “[Realtors]state. are the people that see the new people coming in [to Idaho],” Madeline said. “And we’d like to be able to start that education right there, when people are buying their land, and we’d like the realtors to know what it is that they are selling.”

According to Marrion, many new forest landowners often know little about the different species of trees and vegetation on the land they purchase. That is where she hopes Idaho Forest Owners Association Education Foundation can step in to educate and equip landowners about how to properly care for their forest.
“One of the driving forces behind what IFOA has been doing these past years and what the education foundation is trying to do is help people— especially new people who come to this area—understand where they live,” Marrion explained.
“Every year, the teachers are just like, ‘Who knew?’” Madeline remarked. “And they are so enthusiastic.”

The Kootenai County Farmers Market has presented fresh, locally grown produce to the area since 1986, offering a selection of local food products that changes with the seasons. More than 100 producers and artisans comprise Hayden’s Saturday market and downtown Coeur d’Alene’s Wednesday evening market.

Faville noted the market vendors sell what they can grow with the local seasons, relying on Mother Nature’s timing. “Fall brings an abundance of produce of all types to market. It’s when there are reliable stocks of tomatoes, peppers and other warm-season veggies,” she said. “The weather is often perfect, and the light is wonderful. There are smells of hot spiced cider and the warm fall colors of pumpkins and squash.

Through every season, the Kootenai County Farmers Market offers opportunities to educate and support a healthy community. Its PoP (Power of Produce) Club is a free program that uses hands-on activities to introduce kids to market foods and how they’re grown. The market also accepts EBT cards and utilizes the Double Up Bucks program to help people include more fresh vegetables in their diets. These programs are supported by donations from the community.
The market is an organization of member vendors with a Board of Directors and paid managers. “Members are expected to contribute work hours to the market,” she said. “We’re like a big family.”

“We fill the Jacklin Building with our vendors, late produce like garlic, carrots, potatoes and cranberries, jams, pastries, honey, meat and lots of amazing Christmas shopping from crafters.”
On October 15, the market’s free Customer Appreciation Day event will offer soups crafted from market meats and produce, served with breads, pastries and more, all prepared by market vendors as a thank you from the Kootenai County Farmers Market. The autumn market season will close with downtown Coeur d’Alene’s Harvest Fest on Saturday, October 29, from 10am to 3pm at Fifth Street and Sherman Avenue.

What’s the difference between the two? Gel-like filler injections are typically used to add plumping and volume, while Botox injections are designed to temporarily block nerve signals in the muscles at the injection site. This restricts movement in the affected area to avoid the formation of expression lines.
Gig Harbor Aesthetics’ Laura Brougher, RN adds that when it comes to what’s most popular, it’s Botox/Dysport for frown lines between the eyes and crows feet, and Sculptra for volume improvement, balance and skin tightening in the face. “Sculptra can also be used to help smooth cellulite and droopy skin on the body as well,” she says. “And lips! Everyone loves a rejuvenated (not too big) and smooth, pretty lips.”

“Year after year, Botox has been the number one aesthetic treatment not only in our office, but nationally,” Bri says. “Botox is quick and effective, and helps to soften fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful and relaxed look. Clients love it!”
At Sarah Hamilton FACE, the MOXI + BBL laser treatment combo has been highly popular as a “filter for your skin.” After gaining attention for being a Kim Kardashian favorite, the laser treatment combo has stayed popular for its ability to brighten skin, improve sun damage, boost texture, reduce fine lines, and banish brown spots and redness.
“Our aesthetic nurse Brittany actually has trained her Beverly Hills doctor and his team on how to use laser devices,” Sarah shares. “It really is like a laser filter for your skin.”

In addition to laser therapy, microneedling is a popular light therapy for evening out skin tone.

Another way to support healthy eating habits in your family is by shopping locally for produce and making home-cooked meals as often as possible.
Summer has come to an end and a new school year is upon us once again.
A new year means new beginnings for your children, whether they are heading off to pre-K for the first time this year or entering their senior year of high school. But a new school year also brings new opportunities for the whole family to develop healthy rhythms and routines that will define the next nine months of early mornings, packed lunches and extracurricular activities. So, I’d like to make a few suggestions— five, to be exact—that will help your family stay happy and healthy together throughout this new school year. Eat healthy (and local!) together. With the kids off at school during the day, evening meal times provide an important opportunity for your family to connect and create healthy eating habits
Studiestogether.show that children and adolescents’ eating habits are largely shaped by their family. One 2017 study from the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health found that better diet quality and regular family meals improves overall family satisfaction. If possible, try to have at least one meal per day where the whole family can eat together distraction-free. Also, as parents or guardians, it is essential to model healthy eating habits for your children. Give your kids healthy snack options, like fruits or vegetables, that are as easy to access as other sugary or salty snacks. For example, instead of having cereal or crackers sitting around, try leaving fresh apples and oranges on the counter or placing small bags of carrot sticks in the fridge for kids to grab when they are hungry.

Turn OFF the technology. Another helpful routine that goes handin-hand with family mealtimes is reducing screen time as a family. With the increased use of technology during the school and workday, kids (and adults) need a break from media consumption.
The important thing is that you, your spouse and your children can enjoy your time being active together.
turn off the technology
Sleep is SUPER important. As I am sure you are already well aware, a consistent sleep schedule is paramount for increased energy, creativity and happiness in adults and children alike. If your family’s sleep habits were stretched or adapted during the summertime, I would recommend getting back to a normal routine as soon as possible this school year.
This school year, find time in your family’s daily routine for 30 minutes or an hour of family play time. Consider some enjoyable family fitness activities, like playing tag or hopscotch with your younger children or riding bikes and shooting basketball with your older kids.
Therefore, choose to make your evenings technology-free, or at least limit your family’s screen time to two hours or less per day. Turning off your electronics will help your family connect with one another and learn how to have fun without needing digital entertainment. The importance of family fitness. Once you cut back on your media consumption, your family will have more time for building other healthy habits together, like exercising every day.

A recent University of Washington article suggests that teenagers need nine to 10 hours of sleep per night, while school-aged children require 10 or more. And of course, do not neglect your own sleep routine either. It’s tempting to want to stay up late and unwind after the kids go to bed, but remember that the recommended sleep time for adults is seven to eight hours. Modeling healthy sleep hygiene is important as a parent or guardian. Not to mention that the extra shuteye will give you an added boost to help get you through the afternoon lull without needing that third cup of coffee.
Creating rhythms and routines that lead to a healthier and happier family is not so much about the specific actions as it is about cohesiveness, support and encouragement. When everyone in your family is on board with a few simple initiatives like these, everyone will be encouraged to learn and grow together. So, my final suggestion to you is simply this: Make memories together. Whether you are embarking on a road trip for the weekend or enjoying a family game night, let every moment together be a reminder of the blessing it is to have your family alongside you.

Kelly Mack and Chancellor Jensen from Western U’s College of Osteopathic Medicine in Lebanon, Oregon, said their college has committed to their own simulation center.
NIC Simulation Center hosts Oregon colleagues for health science program development visit by MEGAN SNODGRASS, NORTH IDAHO COLLEGE
“With a 3D printer and enough time, you can do practically anything, and this visit really just reinforces that,” Jensen said. “I’m really excited to what we can do with what we’ve learned at NIC.”
Mack and Jensen spent two days with NIC Simulation Operations and Technology Coordinator Myles Larson exploring the Simulation Center, learning equipment, and even running a mental health simulation with NIC nursing students on summer break who volunteered to help.
Jensen said the innovation and adaptability of NIC’s Simulation Center and its faculty and staff are impressive.

“We have created a sim lab, and the majority of equipment is in, so now we are just in the process of figuring out how to work it,” Mack said. “I’m just trying to be a sponge and learn as much as I can.”
SHARING SIMULATION
“Our program isn’t going to look exactly like NIC’s program, but having something to build upon makes it a lot easier to digest,” Mack said. “To see a sim lab up and running—and running proficiently—I know it’s doable, and I have people I can come to if I run into a roadblock or have a question. I can really see this partnership taking off and using NIC’s center as a very, very good example.”
NIC nursing students Mira Solmonson, left, and Delci Hoehn listen to feedback from Western University of Health Sciences visitors who observed their mental health-care simulation July 7 in NIC’s Simulation Center.
Mack said starting a simulation center is a big project but that visiting NIC’s Simulation Center gave them a huge advantage.
For more information, contact NIC Simulation Operations and Technology Coordinator Myles Larson at 208.676.2011 or Myles.Larson@nic.edu.
Larson said the NIC Simulation Center works closely with the college’s health sciences programs and even invites working health professionals to lead students in simulations before they start their second-year clinics. The Simulation Center not only facilitates health-care procedures ranging from basic physicals to heart surgery using manikins, but also brings in local actors specifically trained to work with students who are learning the nuances of mental health care and relationship building with patients.

Two Feathers works tirelessly to solve problems, says Cuentas. “He goes above and beyond to make sure he is reducing barriers and getting people the help and resources that they need,” she says. “His life experiences have led him to become such a kind, empathetic and compassionate person.”

Two Feathers wants to put right what once went wrong.
If you’ve lived on the streets, there’s an excellent chance you’ve encountered Two Feathers or you know that he’s the man to talk to about homeless issues.
Two Feathers is quick to credit everyone on the Street Medicine team for impacting lives and helping people. “It truly is a team effort,” he says. “Each one of us brings something unique to the table. I couldn’t do what I do without the support from everyone at Street Medicine and the entire Heritage Health organization.”

Working with homeless populations presents different challenges.
“TJ and I worked out of a car,” says Two Feathers. “Later, we got a grant for a mobile clinic, and then we outgrew that one and we got a bigger mobile clinic that we still use today.”
“I’ve been homeless,” he says. “I know what it’s like to be on the streets with nothing. I think that perspective helps me connect with people who need help. I treat everyone as an individual, and I respect them, wherever they are at in life.”
Heritage Health is North Idaho’s premier provider of healthandmedical,integrateddentalbehavioralservices. We’re accepting new patients! Call us today to schedule appointmentan (208) 620-5250.
Two Feathers’ journey started in Phoenix. His childhood was rough, and he was drinking at an early age. Eventually, he was adopted by a family in Post Falls. He battled alcohol addiction and finally hit rock bottom. “I went to prison for multiple DUIs,” says Two Feathers. “I chose to live a different way, and I got help. “Once I was sober, I wanted to give back. I wanted to help repay what was given to me. I am not sure I will ever be able to repay it, but it’s why I come to work every day. I want to make things better for people. If I get a simple thank you, it’s been a great day.”
The Heritage Health Homeless Outreach worker is determined to help people living in desperate situations by connecting them to resources, including medical care and other essentials.

“A lot of times, people will call our office ‘Two Feathers’ office’ because he is so well-known in this community, but him being here is sometimes the biggest thing that draws people to us, to begin with,” says Elise Cuentas, Street Medicine clinic director. “Two Feathers has a way with people.”
“Most people have alarm clocks to make sure they don’t miss a doctor’s appointment,” he says. “We’re dealing with people who don’t have an alarm clock, so we have had to find creative ways around it. Transportation is another big issue for the homeless. We’re able to meet people where they’re at with the mobile clinic and/or other vehicles.”
Few things feel as refreshing as the crisp arrival of the fall season, and a pair of jeans that fit just right. This autumn has in store a new set of denim trends that can refresh your style, transform your silhouette, and maybe even reframe your thinking around the controversial return of low-rise jeans. For generations, denim has been a closet staple for all ages. From the first, iconic introduction of the Levi’s 501 jeans, through many variations of lengths, rises, fits and styles from bellbottom to bedazzled, denim has been evolving for over a century.
NEW DENIM
Jeans can be comfortable, statementmaking, or edgy—sometimes all three at once! They come in many forms, and this autumn’s jeans styles present plenty of variety and opportunity to choose the style that suits you best. No matter which fall styles you select, a well-fitted pair of jeans is a closet staple worth investing in. Start with these denim trends to refresh your autumn wardrobe: Which fall 2022 jean style is right for you? by TAYLOR SHILLAM 68

High-rise, wide-leg jeans are at the top when it comes to fall trends. They offer an ideal combination of comfort and effortless style, and their breathable, loose fit combined with a tailored silhouette offers a versatility that can easily cross from summer to autumn. Wide-leg jeans quickly become the focal point of an outfit to easily tie an outfit together with maximum wearability. Style tip: Pair your wide-legged jeans with shorter tops to highlight their flattering, waist-highlighting silhouette. For example, wear them with fitted, long-sleeved tops and blazers to maintain the silhouette and contrast their roomy fit. As this trend encompasses jeans in all levels of “baggy jeans,” you can choose the level of wide fit that works best for you. If you’re easing into it, selecting a pair that is simply a bit wider and more loose-fitting than your traditional straight-leg jean will be a perfect start.

While straight jeans have been a classic fit for decades, they are at the forefront of this year’s denim trends. With a universally flattering silhouette, straight jeans can work well for any body type, as they visually lengthen the legs. (Look for a high-waisted pair to further accentuate this effect!)
These are the jeans that become your closet staple. They never go out of style and are versatile enough to go with anything else in your fall wardrobe. It’s a wear-everywhere denim staple that can be effortlessly dressed up or down, to look relaxed or trendy. Invest in a pair that fits well, and you’ll be wearing them all season long. Lean into their classic quality, and wear a long pair with the loafers or boots that complete a fall 2022 look.

While the term “low-rise” can be trifling when related to jeans shopping, the low-rise jeans of 2022 are not what they used to be!
High-Rise Flare Jean. If you’re not ready to embrace the low-rise jeans, there’s good news: high-rise jeans aren’t going anywhere! The popular high-rise denim of recent years is here to stay, with an added fall This“flare.”fall’shigh-rise flare jeans are relaxed, comfortable, and a bit more fun than bootcut styles of the past. Pair them with tall boots for the ultimate leg-lengthening effect. They also pair well with layers like an oversized flannel or a vintage tee and blazer to round out a fresh fall look.
Jeans.Low-Rise
The new low-rise jeans are more loose, more effortless, and more comfortable. The tight, revealing versions of the past have been traded in for new-low rise pants that are more comfortable and easier to accept. These styles often come up to just below the belly button for a “low” that isn’t an extreme drop from what you’re likely used to. Style yours with fitted tops and jackets that accentuate their low, loose flair.
Wash your face each morning and evening with a gentle cleanser that’s right for your skin, and make sure to rinse with warm water, not hot. Don’t forgo that daily moisturizer with an SPF.
I f you’re feeling that your skin, specifically your face, is lacking that glow, it’s time to get back to the basics and restore your skin.
Though the weather is beginning to cool, and the days are shorter, you still need to protect your skin. Keep consuming plenty of water to keep your body and skin hydrated. And when sitting down for a bite, be sure what you’re choosing is healthy, with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and avoid processed, oily foods. Last, but not least ... get plenty of sleep! When you feel refreshed, you’ll look refreshed.

MAKEUPINTOFALL The look for autumn by RACHEL KELLY 74
75
wanes into autumn, and the leaves turn vibrant colors in a big show before winter’s bare branches, we also change in preparation for colder weather. Autumn is affectionately coined “sweater weather,” which prompts us to switch out of our summer dresses and sandals for light sweaters and jeans. With the switch in clothing comes a switch in our makeup routine. Thicker moisturizers that were heavily laden with sunscreen are switched to lighter cleansers and moisturizers. Lighter colors, or a barefaced look, are switched to brighter, more unconventional, shades to combat the heavier clothing. Some of this year’s makeup trends are not necessarily new, and you’ll be able to use much of the same techniques that you’ve used before. However, some of this season’s trends are sure to excite. As always, it’s fun to explore new ways to accentuate your look and individual style!
The classic cat eye will never go out of style—at least depending on where you’re going. Along with the cat eye has come bold new color: oranges, pinks, neons, glitter, wet gloss and shimmering teals. This year’s eye makeup has us looking ready to party, Y2K style. For darker skin tones, warm oranges and darker pinks set a startling contrast. Shimmering eyes and neon liners are sure to make your eyes pop. Especially if they follow the dramatic lines of a drawn-out cat eye. Also in style for eyes are nude colors with black or floral embellishments that resemble a stamp that surrounds the eyes (or just one eye). The embellishments are shimmering or dark tones, whatever contrasts against the skin, almost like temporary tattoos. Meant as a backdrop for creative accentuation, the eyes stand out in an otherwise unadorned face. For lips, the ‘90s are back in. Light brown liner with a skin-tone fill brings louder looks down to earth. Lip gloss over light candy pinks for a wet look accentuates the lips, while not competing with the bold eyes. Also in are dark purples and even dark blue lipsticks, without liner to keep the look relatively soft. Those who remember the ‘90s will remember As the summer

Here to stay is the redout-of-stylenever-lip
On par with the ‘90s and Y2K looks are the shimmering, over-the-top orange and pink blushes fanned out high on the cheek bones and up toward the eyes. This look is generally best on darker skin tones, but icy tones work with varying skin tones. Soft blue tones fan out from the eyes and feather out onto the cheeks. Technically the color starts at the eyes, but since it fans out to the cheekbones, it’s also kind of a blush. There aren’t many rules this year. It’s the same technique but bolder colors and a blurring of the lines. When accentuating one part of the face, let the colors highlight and the rest blend. Whatever blends, whatever works, and whatever is fun is on trend this year. For brows, the natural, not overly plucked is what’s currently popular. This is wonderful because of the low maintenance. It’s all about minimum product and maximum shaping. For those who may have plucked their brows out of oblivion due to past trends, or maybe your natural brows aren’t full, then there are brow tints that also contain hair-
how difficult it is to get a dark lip to stay throughout the day. To circumvent this problem, a hydrating tinted lip balm should keep the lips from drying out. Also here to stay is the never-out-of-style red lip, bright and on point for this year’s trends—but not unfamiliar. On trend this year, when choosing a bold look for the lips or the eyes, remember to keep the rest of the face neutral. The bold colors are meant to attract the eyes to one place, having an artful effect rather than one that overwhelms. This means little to no makeup on the rest of the face— even going so far as to apply primer with little embellishments to zap the skin tone of its natural varying intonations.

growth serum. For those with already thick brows, focus should be on filling in sparse areas. The look for brows is easy and straightforward, keeping the morning routine easy—especially if going for a bold, fluffy brow and an overall nude look.
This fall it’s time for fun.
Fall trends that look less like a party and more for the every day include the full natural brow, pink lip gloss, bright moisturizers and facial oils, setting sprays, and the occasional body glitter. The focus for this year’s fall is for bright skin, accentuated eyes, creativity, and a slightly wet look. For easy days, keep the skin neutral, using nothing but a good moisturizer and a dark lip. This year’s looks aren’t necessarily meant to shine all at once but one at a time— depending on what you’re wearing, where you’re going, and what kind of activity you have to look forward to. Keep in mind that when choosing a look for this year, pay attention to what you’re wearing. Neons, pinks, coral, teals and oranges are flippant and fun when going for a night out in your favorite black evening wear. But for daytime, this year’s looks are subtle with a pop of color. More than anything though, this fall it’s time for fun. Makeup trends are not about to fade into the winter.

Fall is a great time to visit, with local farmers markets running into October and festivals highlighting the bounty of the season.
Here in the Yakima Valley, the climate is semi-arid desert, and there are more than 300 days of sunshine each year.
The Yakima River flows through the valley as a life-giving force, providing water to support agriculture and a green swath of trees and vegetation which lines the banks. It is such a sharp contrast with the semi-arid desert landscape.

FALLDUTCH-OVENBEEFSTEWINGREDIENTS
•

For the Meat: 3 lbs. whole boneless beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. ground pepper
3/4 cup red wine
• Remove bay leaves before serving.
• Serve with fresh thyme.
Recipe by Tina VanDenHeuvel-Cook, NTP
@madebetterforyou 93
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen peas salt and pepper to taste
• Over medium heat, add the butter, carrots, petite onions, mushrooms, garlic, thyme and rosemary to the same Dutch oven and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce, and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add red wine, scraping the browned bits from the bottom using a wooden spoon, and cook until reduced, about 3 minutes.
• Add roux to the vegetables and stir to coat. Add additional beef broth and stir. Add the seared beef and bay leaves. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer for 5 to 7 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper at this point, if needed.
Preheat the oven to 325˚F.
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 14-oz. package frozen petite onions, thawed
2 large bay leaves
2 cups shiitake mushrooms, roughly chopped 5 cloves of garlic, minced 1 tbsp. fresh thyme 1 tbsp. fresh rosemary, chopped 3 tbsp. tomato paste
1/4 cup arrowroot powder 32 oz. beef broth
METHOD
• Season beef chunks with salt and pepper. Heat avocado oil over medium high heat in a large Dutch oven or a heavy oven-proof pot, and sear beef on all sides until nicely browned. Do not fully cook at this point. (Brown meat in batches to not overcrowd the pan and to prevent steaming. If you notice that it begins to steam up, remove the excess liquid and continue browning.)
fallA TABLE
2 tbsp. avocado oil
93
For the Stew: 2 tbsp. butter 3 large carrots
• Transfer the browned meat to a plate and set aside. Leave the brown bits at the bottom of the Dutch oven; don’t wipe the pot clean.
• Cover with an oven-safe lid. Finish cooking in the oven at 325˚F for about 1 hour and 30 minutes—until the meat is tender. Stir in peas 10 minutes before the cooking time is up.

For those who are not participating, they are encouraged to get out along the course or cheer people on at the finish line “to bring back that high energy support we’ve been missing the past years,” smiles Melissa. “Having people on course cheering on runners is encouraging to those running and may end up encouraging themselves to run with us next Afteryear.”theevent, runners will be treated to festivities around the beach including a birthday celebration with treats, finish-line food, a beer garden, and support from many surrounding sponsors including Mountain West Bank, Humana, and Revolution Mortgage, to name a few.
Those who prefer the virtual run can run their distance from anywhere they’d like any day between October 9 and 16, and will submit their results online at the results platform. Swag will be shipped to participants after the in-person event. This year, according to Melissa, they’re expecting 500 to 600 runners! And they’re transitioning back to mass start lines, meaning all participants of each distance will start together. “As in past years, we’ve had to transition to rolling starts over multiple hours,” she says. “Bringing back mass starts allows participants to start together, compete with each other and finish during the hype and high energy of the finish line.”
Attendees can choose from the full marathon, half marathon, quarter marathon or virtual run. Those who wish to participate will need to register before October 14 online at HaydenLakeMarathon.org.
With a combination of breathtaking scenery to include lake views, horse pastures, beautiful forests and golf courses, the Hayden Lake Marathon is truly one of a kind. Saturday, October 15, marks its 10th anniversary, with all three distances starting and finishing at Hayden Lake’s Honeysuckle Beach.

“Participants of all ages are welcome to participate in the shorter distances,” affirms Melissa Groom, marketing director of Negative Split, which puts on the race. “Running with strollers is not recommended in the marathon distance due to the steep and hilly course, but running strollers are welcome on the half marathon and quarter marathon distances.”
In addition to the Hayden Lake Marathon this October, Negative Split presents the Halloween Hustle Half Marathon, 10k & 5k in Coeur d’Alene at North Idaho College on October 30. 2021 was the first year for the event, which benefits the North Idaho Centennial Trail Foundation, and had a turnout of 450 runners. “This is a festive event with people dressing up in costumes for prizes from Fleet Feet Coeur d’Alene, treats at the finish line (hot cocoa, cider, donuts) and a family friendly course with being on the flat and maintained North Idaho Centennial Trail,” shares Melissa.
