to put into practice. It’s so easy to just keep collecting things. This year, however, I’d like to change that cycle. I want to feel more in control of my home and less like the things in it are in control of me. For me, that means using an idea or two from all that I’ve learned on the subject of minimalism. Before I purchase something new, I will consider whether something I already own can perform that function. Before I add to my wardrobe, I will donate an item (or two!) of clothing that I no longer wear. I will commit to going through my home, room by room, and decide which items I love and use and which ones I only keep out of habit or because I spent “good” money on them. What’s more, I will ask my husband and kids to do the same.

Though I’m sure it will seem overwhelming at first, there are some benefits to implementing some aspects of minimalism into our daily life. I’m hoping to spend less, for one. After all, if I only purchase what I truly need, I’m sure to save some cash! In addition, I’m hoping that if we whittle down our belongings to what we absolutely must have, those things will be easier to find when we need them! And, if these ideas can help make our family more environmentally sound by not producing so much trash in the process, then it’s a win-win. As I go forward with this experiment, I will try to remember the words of the godfather of modern interior design, William Morris: “Have nothing in your home that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.” Good words for all of us to live by, I think. Happy New Year!

already done so. You might also explore methods of dealing with potentially enormous long-term care costs, such as an extended stay in a nursing home. Solutions to longterm care may become much more expensive later in life.
__ Ten years before retirement: At this stage, in addition to reviewing your target asset and spending levels, you’ll want to get more precise about how much income you can expect as a retiree, whether through your investments or retirement accounts Member SIPC (such as your 401(k) and IRA), or through some type of part-time work or consulting. Maintaining an adequate income flow is extremely important because you could spend two or three decades as a retiree, and some of your expenses—health care in particular—will likely rise during the later years. It’s important to plan for health care and long-term care, given the costs and ability to qualify for coverage later in life.
Financial Advisor
__ Five years before retirement: Re-evaluate your investment mix to help reduce the risk of having your portfolio vulnerable to a market downturn when you plan to retire. Generally speaking, stocks and other growth-oriented investments are more volatile than bonds and other income-producing vehicles. So, you may want to consider shifting some—but certainly not all—of your investment dollars from the “growth” portion of your portfolio to the “income” side.

fund to cope with unexpected costs, such as major home repairs. In addition, you’ll want to think about whether you should take Social Security right away or if you can afford to wait until your monthly checks will be bigger. __ One year before retirement: Now it’s time for some key decisions: How much can you withdraw each year from your 401(k), IRA and other retirement accounts without running the risk of outliving your money?

MADDIE MORGAN & CASEY OLESEN BY PATTY HUTCHENS
MADDIE MORGAN - For junior Maddie Morgan, sports have always been an integral part of her life. Over the years, she has participated in football, swimming and volleyball, but as she grew older she found her real passions were basketball and track. She has been on the Sandpoint High School varsity basketball team and ran track since her freshman year. “My freshman year I placed fifth at state for the long jump, and my sophomore year I placed sixth in the triple jump while breaking the school record (34’9.5”),” said Maddie, who also plays on a traveling basketball team. In both her freshman and sophomore years, Maddie received the Scholastic Student Award for track and basketball maintaining a 4.0 GPA.

Maddie still has time to decide on what her posthigh school plans are but said she is looking at schools in the Pacific Northwest as well as Colorado. “I will continue to work hard throughout my last two years of high school, which will hopefully open up doors for me to play a sport at the collegiate level,” said Maddie. She adds that because academics are a priority, at times it is a challenge to balance honor classes with sports. But she keeps in mind that by exceling academically she will open up doors to schools that will allow her to play sports. The competition that comes with basketball, trying to constantly outwork her opponent, and the individuality of track are the things that Maddie said she enjoys most about the sports she participates in. While exceling in athletics is a great achievement, Maddie said it is important to remember there is more to life.
“It’s awesome to be in the newspaper, win awards and break records. But who you are as a person, how you treat people, is what really matters. Athletic achievements mean nothing if you don’t strive to be a good person.” CASEY OLESEN - Senior Casey Olesen has been wrestling for approximately 10 years and shares that what he loves most about the sport is when it is minutes before a big match and the adrenaline takes over.

“Your stomach is rolling over itself, and you feel very unsteady,” said Casey. “This kind of feeling gets me ready for the match; that sort of fight or flight feeling.”

This camp pushed me physically to the point where I became more mentally strong, and I feel this year will be different.” Casey said he plans to attend college and major in business and communications, and if an opportunity to wrestle in college should come his way, he would love to do that as well. “I don’t know what I want to do career wise, but I want do something important,” said Casey. “I want to make a difference and leave my mark on the world.” Wrestling has taught Casey many things, the most significant of which is that your body can go so much further and last so much longer than we all think. “But when put into those situations where we are pushed, our minds hold us back. That’s why motivation is so huge. With the right motivation and training, anyone can push past their mind’s boundary and achieve their own greatness.”
