The Plant and the Hippo
by Laurie Pehl Jennings
One year after the stabbing death of her son, Tanner, Laurie found herself in
the psychiatric ward of Sacred Heart Hospital. Her daughter, Katie, had taken
her there as a last resort. She learned that her mother had been spending many
of her grief-filled nights in her hallway where her son had taken his last breath.
Forming herself into the position the police had found Tanner in, she would
fall asleep. In the hospital, she was asked to start a journal and write about the
turning point in her life, the death of her son. Heavily medicated, she picked up
her pen and began writing about a precious day when her young son brought
her home a Mother’s Day gift, a plant. Once home, she continued her journal
with an interesting twist; the plant and the hippo will tell the story from their
perspective about a young boy, his downfalls and his triumphs, and eventually
the witness to his horrific death.
“What can I do?” She usually responds, “Remember him; please don’t forget
him.”
Over the past four years since the completion of the book, Laurie has done
numerous book signings in western Washington and also asked to do a high
school assembly, as the book relates to many issues - teen-age depression,
teen-age love along with the heartache of young love, safety in meeting “new
friends,” unconditional mother’s love, grieving, and eventually climbing out
of the ‘rabbit holes.’ The audio version is in the works and should be available
later this year.
Book excerpt:
At first it appeared that Tanner was happy again, staying busy and spending
more time with friends, but Hill and I often discussed our apprehensions. And
then we saw it. One of his so-called friends came
by and we listened as he asked him if he would like to get high again, just
this one time.
“NO!” Hill screamed out to the young man. “Leave him alone!”
“Hill, it’s up to Tanner. Tanner needs to be strong. It’s not his friend’s fault.
Tanner needs to learn to say no. But it looks like this isn’t that time. I’m sorry,
little Hill. It is a sad day, indeed. Hill, why don’t you look away, maybe that
will be easier.”
Laurie would tell him how proud she was of him for kicking the habit and
give him big hugs, but Hill and I could see the other side of that hug, Tanner’s
face, and it was a very sad face behind her shoulder. She would be away for the
day and he would get high in the morning. By the time she came home, he had
made sure it had worn off enough that she would be unaware. When she went
to bed at night, he popped another. Hill and I cried together many times. How
could we fix him this time? What does it take?
Little did we know, Laurie had a plan of her own. She hadn’t missed a thing.
We were surprised, as was Tanner, to see her walk in early one day from work.
She talked to him about his day, about plans for dinner, and what his plans for
the evening might be.
“Do you think she notices he is high?” asked Hill.
“Well, she is acting like she doesn’t know, but she seems smarter than that.
Maybe she is saving it for later. She is talking and asking more questions than
usual. We’ll have to wait and see. Tanner looks guilty, and I’m sure she can
sense that. Clearly he hopes he has pulled this one off.”
With Tanner, my emotions can go in a million directions in one split second.
I wanted him to get caught. I wanted her to figure it out. I wanted him to hurt
from this so he might stop doing it. I wanted her to hurt enough that she would
get mad. And yet, at that moment, for some reason my heart was aching for
him enough that with just a look in his eyes, I suddenly wanted to hug him. I
loved him so.
“What? She’s going to bed without saying anything about it?” Hill was very
disappointed.
The next day Tanner and his mom went about their ways as with any of their
typical morning goodbyes, I love yous, etc. Hill and I had decided she must not
have known after all. We were simply helpless.
When Laurie arrived early from work again, she nervously awaited his return
from school. She was tearful. She watched from the window, occasionally
sitting down but shortly returning to the window, looking at the clock on the
wall. She paced.
“I think this, Hill, is what we have been waiting for.”
No sooner had he opened the door when she announced, “Hi Tanner. Leave
your bag here and lets go.” With a bewildered look, he followed her out the
door.
“Plant,” said Hill with disappointment, “I hate that we can’t see ‘the rest
of the story.’ We will only have hearsay, and Judge Judy says hearsay doesn’t
count.”
I smiled. “What do you mean, Hill?”
“We always hear what goes on in the house, but we never see what happens
out of the house. We always hear what someone else ends up saying later,” he
answered, hoping I would understand his strange way of explaining things.
“Don’t worry Hilly ole’ boy,” I reassured him. “We’ll hear about it all soon
enough.

“This book is so many things. I got it this morning and just finished it. It was
written by Laurie Jennings and it is about the teen life and murder of her son.
I never met Tanner but I feel like I got the opportunity. As I write this, it is still
very heavy on my heart. Brilliantly written. Thank you Laurie.”
“I read the story in two days – couldn’t put it down. I love the story being
told from a plant’s perspective, like seeing through a picture window. Amazing.
It truly touched me how she told the truth. She didn’t make her son the perfect
kid, nor her the perfect mother, but instead shared the real struggles. It made it
honest and lets us love him for the imperfect kid he was, the kind we all have.”
Tanner is the youngest son of Dave Pehl, Manager at Fogle Pump, who lives
in Colville. Dave and Laurie moved to Colville in 1989, when Dave began his
employment with Fogle Pump. Laurie now resides in Raymond, Washington.
Tanner’s surviving brothers and sister, Cameron, Katie, and Matt, all graduates
of Colville High School, now live in the Spokane area.
The book is available at Fogle Pump and Supply, in Colville, Washington,

Got the Home Schooling Blues?
by Eileen Pedersen, Trail, BC
I’m a retired school teacher with a passion for
kids--my social network for years. My classroom
was my canvas. I explored creativity, silliness--yes,
silliness; having fun, promoting self-expression,
inter-connectedness, mutual respect, visibility, and
confidence...all towards an optimal learning environment.
I miss kids. Hence, this article which has ideas
to maximize the extra effort currently required for
helping kids read.
Part One: Prepare the brain for learning
Make this a game, include the whole family,
award points. I did this three times each day and
it was beyond worth the effort with all grades, including
adults. It’s based on Educational Kinesiology--movement
for learning. Equipment required: a
glass of water. Total time: 5 minutes.
Steps:
One: FEED ME! Take a couple gulps of water.
Feeds and energizes the brain.
Two: GIMME OXYGEN! Left hand flat over navel.
Place thumb and forefinger of the right hand on
the soft area below the collar bone on either side of
the sternum. Press, making small one-inch circles
for 30 seconds while taking long slow breaths. Increases
oxygen flow to brain; promotes clear thinking.
Three: BRAIN, WAKE UP!!! Stand (sit), feet
shoulder length apart. Reach right hand across to
touch a raised left knee. Switch. Left hand to right
knee...back and forth for one slow minute. Activates
both hemispheres of the brain; promotes balance.
Four: RELAX ALREADY! Sit, extend legs,
cross ankles. Form an “X” with arms on chest,
palms flat, finger tips under the collar bone. Touch
roof of mouth (not teeth) with tip of tongue. Now,
take long, slow breaths for one minute. Relaxes and
clears emotions. (Do anytime! Drink water first.)
child dictate their very own story to you. They dictate;
you write their words, especially if they have
difficulty writing themselves or are too young to do
so.
Now you move from the child’s “journal entry”
of between two and six sentences, depending upon
reading fluency, to individual words and the letters
that make up those words.
How do you do this? By making up games in
which you and your child take turns getting the other
to “find” something within the story. You lead.
Make it easy at first.
Example: I asked my young grandson what it’s
like for him to stay inside and not go to school. I
asked how he felt about not going to school, and I
requested advice on how I could stay safe. I asked
what he does to stay healthy and finally, what he
would like for the whole world. By asking the him
how he experienced the pandemic, he had the opportunity
to express his knowledge and experience.
This sample lesson addressed the physical, mental,
emotional and spiritual aspects of his being.
Here’s what he said:
“It’s scary because people could die from the
coronavirus. I really miss playing with my friends.
You need to wash your hands and don’t sneeze on
people, Nona. I wash my hands all the time. I want
everyone to stay healthy”
So now you have a story to work with. Read it
together with you tracking each word with your finger.
Treasure hunt for words in the story...you pick
one word to find (or one sentence or paragraph at a
time, then s/he picks a word for you to find. Hints
are welcome. Also, your child can print one of the
words and omit a letter (or two or three) and YOU
have to guess the missing letters. Take turns. Imagine
all the learning that’s taking place, and, be prepared
to lose the game.
minutes. Re-read tomorrow. Be creative. Have fun!
Let me know how it goes.

The Reading Lesson
For me, the Whole Language approach to teaching
reading is the most successful. That means,
beginning with the “whole” (story) and progressing
to the “parts” that make up the whole. When I
introduced the novel, “Charlotte’s Web”, I showed
the movie first. Students had the sense of the whole
story before reading it, which made for a more positive
and successful learning experience.
You parents can easily adapt this by having your
With the word, corona, I asked my grandson if
he could spell it. I did not say “nope. that’s wrong.”
I told him which letters he got right, then asked him
to spell ‘car’, which he did. Then the lesson: Cor is
almost like car except with an ‘o’. Then, “can you
find ‘or’ inside of corona? ‘on’? a?” Find a compound
word, find one that rhymes with play. Whole to part.
Increase capacity. Eventually, have your child read
the first sentence and more by tracking each word
with her/his finger and eyes so they can’t make up
words. High fives, high twos, high thumbs throughout.

An update on the commissioners misuse of homelessness
by Tim Rasmussen, Stevens County Prosecutor
The virus crisis has upset all scheduling in the
courts across the state and this has affected the
scheduling of motions and hearings in the case involving
the commissioners misuse of homelessness
funds.
Before the virus crisis arrived, a date had been
set for the Summary Judgment motion that might
have brought an end to this whole sad episode. That
date was April 24 and both sides were preparing
briefs for that deadline. But Judge Moreno notified
us that the date would not work and now the motion
will be moved till later. When it will be rescheduled
has not been decided at this time.
Meanwhile, the commissioners filed a notice of
Request for Discretionary Review with the Court
of Appeals. The commissioners want the court to
change Judge Moreno’s decision that they are not
entitled to an attorney at public expense. They claim
that they should be allowed to rely the fact they are
public officials and did not know they were doing

anything they did not have the right to do.
The filing of this motion by the commissioners
required a response from me. I worked with the
lawyer helping me and we filed a response to the
motion on Monday, April 6. The Court of Appeals
has set a date of April 15 for the hearing on the motion
for Discretionary Review.
Discretionary Review is exactly what it is called.
One side asks the court to just take a look at the
situation and stop the litigation before it is finished.
The rules provide four situations when a Request
for Discretionary Review can be filed. The commissioners
have relied on just one of the situations.
They argue that Judge Moreno has made such an obvious
error of law that the Court of Appeals should
recognize that her ruling was obviously wrong and
change it.
I do not think this motion will be successful. The
State Auditor decided that that the commissioner’s
actions amounted to illegal gifts of public funds.

Gifts of public funds are strictly prohibited by the
Constitution and the law. Judge Moreno carefully
applied the law and I am confident her decision was
not wrong, let alone an obvious error.
Holding persons accountable for their conduct or
misconduct can be a long and difficult process. It is
made even longer and more difficult when persons
refuse to accept responsibility for what they have
done and admit their mistakes.
It should be remembered that the proof in this
case is not required to be beyond a reasonable doubt.
That is the standard in criminal cases. This is a
civil case. The standard is much lower. The proof
has to be just by the greater weight of the evidence
or whatever is more likely. We will see what happens,
just a little later.

Stella’s Blue Ribbon Congo Bars
by Elizabeth Dengler, The Huckleberry Home
My daughter Stella
has entered the baking
competition at the
Spokane Co Fair for the
last couple years and
last summer she worked
harder than ever to perfect
her Congo Bar recipe.
After several test
batches trying out different
fats, nuts, additions,
etc and feedback
from my very generous
coworkers she landed on
the recipe below.
What I really love
about this recipe more
than how yummy they
are is the commitment
my 10 year old had to
creating an extraordinary
treat. Being in the
kitchen with kids is really
something special.
Consider the math lessons,
the science lessons,
the attention to following
directions and the critical
thinking involved in
baking in order for the
recipe to turn out. There
is also the bonus reward
at the end for all their labor
and it’s usually pretty
darn tasty. This is a
great recipe that kids can
do with minimal parental
assistance. You can
make the determination
what level of support
your kiddo will need.
After all, there’s an oven
and knife involved.
2 ¾ Cup all purpose
flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking
powder
1 teaspoon salt
⅔ Cup butter softened
(room temp)
1 Cup packed dark
brown sugar (light
brown sugar works fine
too)
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 Tablespoon instant
Colombian coffee powder
or espresso powder
(this is Stella’s secret
ingredient, if you don’t
have it you can omit)
1 package (11.5 oz)
semi-sweet chocolate
chunks, any chocolate
chip or combination of
chips will work in this
recipe
1 Cup chopped pecans
(optional)
Preheat oven to 350
degrees. Thoroughly
butter a 9x13 pan. Because
these are a bar
cookie we recommend
using parchment paper
or greased foil larger
than the pan to help with
lifting the bars out. If
you plan on leaving them
in the baking dish and
serving from there don’t
worry about this step.
In a medium bowl
which together flour,
baking powder, and salt.
Set aside.
In your mixer with
paddle attachment (or in
a large bowl you can stir
by hand) combine butter
and sugar. Add eggs, one
at a time, mixing on low
speed between each addition.
Add vanilla and
coffee powder. Once all
the ingredients are well
combined, add in the
flour mixture and mix
until well combined. Stir
in your chocolate chunks
and pecans.
Using a large spatula,
scrape the cookie dough
into your greased pan.
Spread the dough evenly
into the prepared baking
dish. Bake at 350
degrees for 30 minutes
until top is golden. Do
not over bake. Remove
from oven and cool in
the pan. Bar cookies
must cool completely
before you slice them or
remove them from the
pan, this is important or
you’ll ruin your batch.
They set while cooling.
It’s worth the wait.

Serving Lincoln County Since 1890
Davenport, WA • (509) 725-3161

Mental Health Needs Attention During Quarantine
Lincoln County, WA - The Lincoln County Health Department is encouraging Lincoln
County residents to be mindful of their mental health needs during the quarantine.
Govorner Jay Insee’s recent extension of the quarantine order for Washington State to
May 4th means people need to stay at home even longer than anticipated.
“We’ve asked residents not to neglect their physical health during this time by eating
healthy, remaining physically active and continuing to see their healthcare provider,
but we cannot afford to neglect mental health either,” said Ed Dzedzy, public health administrator
for Lincoln County. “The stress of the current pandemic along with uprooted
schedules and routines can take a toll on people.”
NEW Alliance Counseling Services, who has an office location in Davenport and
provides behavioral health services for Lincoln County, has offered the following tips
for maintaining mental health during this time:
1) Focus on what you can control v. what you cannot control
For example, we cannot control the weather, the tone of the media, the governor’s
order(s), or the attitude of another. We can influence some of these things by:
Scheduling activities that match the weather. For example, rainy weather for the
next few days? Plan a schedule that includes movie times, indoor exercise routine,
writing letters, indoor hobbies, etc. Sunny weather ahead—plan for an outing to the
park that utilizes social distancing but keeps us in the community.
Keeping media (TV, radio, etc.) to a minimum. Schedule a time during your day to
“check-in” with the latest news reports and keep your exposure to only those times.
A constant stream of media negatively impacts our emotions and thought-processes.
Stuck at home with a Negative Nelly? Find a place of solace where you can be
alone and gather your thoughts for a few minutes. Counter negative statements by
making positive statements to yourself, or out loud, when negativities enter the environment.
Use earphones or headsets to plug into an audio book for a while.
2) Reframe, reframe, reframe!
“We’re doomed” thinking will result in anxiety and depression. Try “wow, I now have
time to learn karate!” or “I can do an indoor start of those garden plants (and be home
to remember to water them!!”)
No one wants to or should gloss over reality. We need to acknowledge our reality.
But, we can learn and practice how to stay home without taxing our mental health.
Take a 5-minute check each hour to think about your thinking—what kind of thoughts
are you having? Are they helpful, true, and useful?? Be meaningful and purposeful in
learning a new skill, reading a book from cover to cover, joining an online exercise or
support group, start a new, fun habit.
3) Maintain a normal routine
This is not the time to practice habits that undermine your physical and mental
health. Maintain or adopt a daily exercise routine. Wake up and go to bed around the
same time, eat meals, shower, brush your teeth and comb your hair. Do not stay in
your PJ’s all day, every day. Laundry, housekeeping and other daily chores can remain
on the same schedule. Not only will sticking to your normal routine keep you active,
your mental adjustment overall is less necessary and it will be easier to readjust to

environment.
4) Free-for-all muddling
If we let go of predictable schedules, we will find that boundaries and good habits
go out the window. We could find ourselves feeling lost and without purpose. Keep
your refrigerator stocked with healthy food options and keep meals on a schedule.
Plan for that night of “out-of-ordinary”, such as “Fun Fridays” or “Table-top Wednesdays”.
Use social media tools to keep in touch with friends and family in a way you’ve
not done before such as planning a Facetime mealtime as a group. Keep Saturday
morning (or day) as PJ Day, if that’s already a part of your home schedule. Organized
chaos can help clear the cobwebs and create a different focus. With all the insecurity
happening outside your home, keep the inside organized, predictable and clean, planning
fun and “unpredictable” times that balance good health.
5) Find resources available to talk to a professional if your mental health
becomes unmanageable.
There are a multitude of online resources available through video, text, chat or
phone. NEWACS is now able to meet with individuals via phone or video-conferencing.
Their website is https://newacs.stevenscountywa.gov/

FRESH CHUCKLEBERRIES!
Warning! Not to be taken internally, literally, or seriously!
“Laughter
is the shortest distance
between two people.”
~ Victor Borge
“You don’t stop laughing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop laughing.” -- Anonymous
Going to feel bad for
all the teachers next
year who hear “that’s
not how my mom taught
me to do it” from their
students.
A man goes to the
doctor with a strawberry
growing out of his head.
The doctor says, “I’ll
give you some cream to
put on that.”
I married my wife for
her looks...
...but not the ones she’s
been giving me lately.
The longer I stay
home, the more
homeless I look.
Imagine if this
lockdown happened 18
years ago. You would
be stuck with a Nokia
3310 flip phone with
300 texts, 100 minutes
of talk time, and dial up
Internet on your 256k
computer.
The year is 1996, it’s
Friday, you head to
Blockbuster with your
dad and rent one or two
movies to watch for the
weekend. Life is good.
Bubba and Johnny
Ray were sittin’ on the
front porch when a large
truck hauling rolls and
rolls of sod went by.
“I’m gonna
do dat when I win the
lottery,” said Bubba.
“Do what?”
asked Johnny Ray.
“Send my yard
out to be mowed.”
Q: Where did
Terminator find the
toilet paper?
A. Aisle B. Back.
I imagine by now that
a lot of husbands are
ready to build that She
Shed.
Gonna ask my mom if
that offer to slap me into
next year is still on the
table.
And just like that,
people who hate plastic
straws and bags, like
plastic gloves.
Lockdown update:
Today I melted an ice
cube with my mind just
by staring at it. It took a
lot longer than I thought
it would.
If they had just called
it the “Stay at Home
Challenge” and posted it
on Facebook, the virus
would be gone by now.
Let’s play a fun game!
Someone deposit money
into my bank account
I’ll try to guess who it
was!
Anyone else’s car
getting three weeks to
the gallon now?
My child just said, “I
hope I don’t have the
same teacher next year.”
Remember wishing
the weekend would last
forever?
Happy now?!?!?
Son: Dad! The lunch
lady said some really
bad words today!
Dad: Just let it go, son.
Your mom is just under
a lot of stress these
days...
Remember: the check
you’re going to be
getting is to stimulate
the American economy,
so Buy American, Buy
Local, and Be Thankful.
The World Tongue-
Twister champion just
got arrested. I hear
they’re going to give
him a really tough
sentence.
Betty: My memory is
so bad!
Suzie: How bad is it?
Betty: How bad is what?
I said to the salesman,
“I’d like a car for my
wife. He said, “I’m
sorry, sir, we don’t do
swaps.”
Having trouble leaving
my optician girlfriend.
When I say, I can’t
see you anymore, she
moves closer and says,
can you see me now?
Cops these days be
like: “Come out with
your hands washed!”
I’m a huge fan of the
raw egg diet. If you
don’t like the taste, just
add flour, sugar, butter,
and baking powder and
bake for 30 minutes.
Parents: Why don’t
my kids listen to me?
God: LOL
Q: Is Google male or
female?
A: Female, because it
doesn’t let you finish a
sentence before making
a suggestion.
Three old ladies
are sitting around a
table playing bridge
and bragging about
their sons. “My son
Freddie,” said Margaret,
“Everyone should be
so lucky to have a
son like my Freddie.
Once a week he brings
me a huge bouquet of
flowers, he’s constantly
bringing me out to
restaurants to eat. If I
so much as hint that
I want something the
next morning it’s on my
doorstep.”
“That’s very nice
about your Freddie,”
says Gertrude. “But
with all due respect,
when I think about the
way my son, Sammy
takes care of me, it just
can’t compare. Every
morning as soon as I
wake up he comes to
my house with pastry,
fruit, and freshly brewed
coffee. Every lunch he
comes over and cooks
me a gourmet lunch,
and every supper he
brings me to his house
for supper. He truly
treats me like a queen.”
“WELL!” Says
Barbara “I don’t want
to make any of you
feel bad or anything,
but wait until you hear
about my son Harry,
twice a week he pays
someone $200 an hour
just so he can lie on
their couch and talk to
them, and who do you
think he speaks about
at those prices? I’ll
tell you who he speaks
about! ME!”

A Canna State of Mind
By Jerry Rodriguez
As an individual that is wired a little different than everyone else, I have
had many different chemical cocktails used to stabilize what they deemed a
disorder. I am clinically diagnosed as Bipolar 2, ADHD, and anxiety. In the
2nd grade I was diagnosed with ADHD by a doctor at Kaiser in Riverside, CA
and began my unfortunate relationship with chemicals to alter my chemical
imbalances. It later became Prozac, Norpramine, Dexadrine, Aderal, Serequal,
Welbutrin, and when finally diagnosed Bipolar 2 as an adult they added Lamictal,
and a few different tranquilizers. There was always a different combination
and always a regurgitation and experimenting when I started with a new therapist.
They wanted to try the same chemicals that always only got part of the job
done. My fondest memory of medication adjustments was when I was taken off
of, I believe Norporamine; because it was causing cardiac arrest in teenagers.
That was the first time I became leery of what these doctors wanted to give me.
I was still a teenager, so I did what I was told but never felt right about it.
My approach to my mental health changed greatly when I was planning
on moving from California to Washington and losing my medical insurance. I
knew that I had to find another way because I could not move states and have
a come-apart and lose a new job or worse. This meant I needed to find a way
to treat the imbalance with alternatives. This led me to the best control of my
life up until that point. I went completely away from prescribed medication
and I started adding to my diet many different nutrients that feed the brain the
chemicals it is lacking. I dove into books and read about doctors that believed
many mental disorders were caused by nutrition deficiencies. I added and took
away and exercised, meditated and went completely holistic in my approach to
finding my balance. This all worked great for my ADHD but didn’t really touch
my Bipolar 2 and anxiety. I tried a few different supplements but never found a
solid answer to my mood swings and panic attacks.
That all changed about two years ago when I was introduced to CBD
because I was dealing with joint pain and other pain issues. My wife was also
trying to treat her neuropathy with CBD as well because so many had told us
the wonders it did for pain. They were correct except many forgot one key fact.
For us, however, CBD worked much better when combined with THC. This is
due to what is known as the entourage effect. Which basically means that the
numerous cannabinoids found in the Cannabis plant work best when they are
completely together.
During my search one day for a better CBD dominate strain, I got into a
conversation with a BudTender at a shop in Airway Heights, WA. He shared
with me that CBD was not only good for pain but also mood enhancement. As
I investigated his claim, I found information that shows that CBD can take a
good mood that is usually transient, or short lived and stretch it out for a much
longer duration. This had me very intrigued because it seemed to be the missing
ingredient to my mental health cocktail. I spent the next few months speaking
to doctors and counselors and any professional that would listen, to make
sure I was on the correct path. Often, I got the same old not enough research
statement but it also came with, if it is working, it is working.
That is exactly what it does too. It works and basically kills two birds with
one toke. What I found was that it took my good moods and stretched them out
through my day. So, I begin each day with a toke and then listen to uplifting
music or some comedy or talk to someone and try to laugh and smile as much
as possible. This combined with meditation my days seem to be much more
mellow and stable. This all works because of what we now know to be the ECS
(endocannabinoid system,) which is an inner receptor system in each of our
bodies that is designed to process cannabinoids like CBD/THC/THCV and so
many more. In high school and into my early 20s I had a very fond relationship
with cannabis and now I understand why, much more than I did then.
My methods are not perfect for everyone and is what I have found to work
for me. I strongly urge you to do some research and talk to multiple doctors to
find the best choices to bring great balance into your life.

Look for the Helpers
by Joyce Mings, Almira, WA
In rural America, you don’t have to look far for
the helpers. We help each other out. I did not have to
look any further than my own family for this story.
My brother and sister in law, Bill and Molly
Shuler, have taken on a task that they never dreamed
would become this huge.
In late October 2019, Molly landed in emergency
where they found a huge brain tumor. The
doctor told them it had probably been growing for
30 years. Surgery was scheduled for the following
day. Bill went home that night and prayed hard. He
begged that Molly would live through this. If she
did, he would do literally anything asked of him for
that precious gift. Fast forward to March 2020 and
Molly has made a full recovery with no long-term
effects. This baffles even the doctors.
As Covid-19 takes center stage in everyone’s
life, Bill is finding out through Firefighter friends
and the pharmacy he works for that there are no
masks available to buy for front line workers. He
woke the following Monday morning knowing
what was being asked of him. With Molly’s help,
they researched the best patterns and materials for
homemade masks. Molly worked with a few of
the patterns and made a few prototypes. Then on
March 16, Bill made a life changing call by contacting
Cathy Doer of the Inland Northwest Chapter of
the American Sewing Guild. He was trying to find
a source for the polypropylene fabric that they had
identified as the most effective for the masks. In a
matter of minutes, Cathy said, “Let’s go then!” and a
partnership was formed. Bill contacted the Spokane
Fire Department to get the first order (cost only).
They were still trying to navigate the criteria that
they had to adhere to. Firefighters had been ordered
to wear masks at all times unless they are eating
or drinking, but weren’t sure what masks qualified.
Therefore, with no seed money, Bill went shopping
with $1,500 of his own money for the proper materials.
Cathy had six small shops organized and ready
to go in a matter of two days. They would cut kits
and sew what they could, as well as get the word out
that help was needed. They would also serve as pick
up and drop off locations for kits and masks. Those
volunteers answered the call with fury! Most of
them over the age of 50! By the following Monday
they had 1,000 masks and by Tuesday 2,000. As of
April 8 (18 days later), they have made 13,692 and
distributed them all over Eastern WA. They currently
have an order from Fairchild Air force Base
for 6000 more.
Bill has devoted 13 to 14 hours per day, every
day to this project since day one. His employer still
pays his salary because he believes in the mission.
Molly makes kits, sews masks, manages their Facebook
page and still teaches school! Their Facebook
page can be found at https://www.facebook.com/
Masksforhealth/ Find and follow it please.
Each one of these small shops have donated hundreds,
if not thousands of dollars of material and
untold time to this project. Every once in a while,
Bill will ask Cathy if the volunteers can continue.
The answer is always, “Of course!” Their last big
project was Joey bags for the orphaned kangaroos
due to the Australian wildfires.
The project needs your help. There have been
days when they have run out of funds and didn’t
think they could continue. The masks each cost
$.50 to make. Some that have been able to pay have
given $1.00 a mask, but they still need more money
to continue. If you would like to make a donation,
The American Sewing Guild is a 501 c 3 non-profit.
You can send your donations to American Sewing
