STUNNING 

Subtle updates make for 

an easy refresh 

As the days continue to get longer and the temperatures slowly warmer, our 

urge to spend more time outside grows as well. Spring is a time of renewal, 

and for many that often includes decluttering, organizing and freshening 

up our homes both inside and out. We have a few precious months to spend outside 

before the bite of fall hits again. It’s paramount to enjoy these long warm days, and 

there are several small improvements you can do both indoors and out to make this 

summer even more enjoyable. 

While yard work isn’t the top priority of most homeowners, simplifying your 

landscaping will help limit the amount of time you spend weeding, raking, and 

hauling lawn debris away in the future. Communities all across the West are asking 

residents to conserve water. Droughts in the Southwest have strained watersheds, and 

though the Northwest isn’t suffering the same shortages, water conservation is still 

top of mind. Keeping a lawn and landscape green can take a tremendous amount of 

water, especially in between rainstorms. Replacing your landscaping with droughtresistant 

plants and grasses not only decreases your water use, but lowers your water

ill and, in some cases, can even qualify you 

for a regional tax incentive. 

There are many kinds of plants, tall and 

short decorative grasses, as well as herbs and 

ground cover that require much less water 

to thrive. When planting, keep things close 

together to help shade the soil and protect the 

moisture barrier. Also, be sure to cover the 

soil with porous rocks, or mulch. Professional 

gardeners and landscapers in your area 

will also be familiar with native plants to 

specific regions and can offer more detailed 

recommendations. 

If you want to rid yourself of mowing entirely, 

you might consider artificial turf. Materials 

have come a long way since the spongy 

bright green surfaces we most associate with 

baseball and soccer fields. Today’s turf is 

tailored to many situations depending on 

use; everything from durable high traffic to 

kids/pets, to decorative gardens. There are 

three main materials used: nylon, which feels 

most like natural grass but is not as durable; 

polypropylene, which is highly durable but 

does not have the same natural look as nylon; 

or polyethylene, which has a more natural 

look and is easier for pet clean-up and light 

usage. While more expensive than sod, the

long-term water and time savings might just outweigh the upfront cost. 

While still outside, you might also consider an outdoor dining area. 

Those who enjoy their deck already might simply look to add 

an updated table and seating or possibly a large sun shade 

in order to enjoy the space during all conditions. Putting 

in a single-level patio is also not as difficult or as long 

of a project as it might seem. Choose whether you 

want poured concrete, pavers, or a slightly elevated 

deck with either wood or composite materials. 

Contractors should be able to finish a job in less 

than a week, and with careful planning, the 

DIY crowd should be able to do the same over 

a couple of weekends. 

Inside the home, one of the easiest ways to 

brighten and freshen up your look is to put a 

new coat of paint on the walls. While color is 

always a personal choice, dark and charcoal 

grays as well as raspberry reds are a trending 

favorite of designers in 2023. Vintage colors 

from the ‘70s to early ‘80s, like mustard 

yellows and pale greens, are also becoming 

fashionable for those wanting a trendy and 

bolder look. 

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by a cluttered shed 

or garage, there are some simple steps you can 

take to not only organize but create more space 

and peace of mind. Generally speaking, the more 

upright and off the ground your items are, the 

more space you will have. Metal shelving is 

easily installed with a couple of screws 

into the stud. You can stack these 

high to put less utilized 

items like holiday

Tips for 

NAVIGATING THIS HOUSING MARKET 

As we approach spring 2023, the real estate market is beginning to stir from a slumber that began in 

the summer of 2022. Although this is a typical seasonal pattern, mortgage rates are also starting to 

gradually climb back into the 5% range. However, there are indications that rates could potentially 

drop even further, possibly dipping into the high 4% range. As you navigate through the dynamic 

real estate market, it’s crucial for your unique needs, objectives, and timeline to be carefully 

considered and addressed. 

My top recommendation is to hire a full-time local real estate expert who possesses 

a deep understanding of the market and can create a personalized plan that caters 

to your unique circumstances. If you are selling your property, it’s essential to 

scrutinize the REALTOR®’s past listings’, their marketing strategies, services, 

and also request their specific strategy for selling your home. For buyers, it’s 

crucial to engage a real estate agent who actively listens to what you want, 

has established connections with reputable lenders, title companies, and 

vendors with a proven track record of working hard for others. 

“Ben and Elite Realty Partners were professional, attentive and 

knowledgeable on current market trends. Their work on getting 

our house ready for sale was outstanding and first class. He 

was always available and kept us informed of the negotiations 

with potential buyers. I would highly recommend him.” 

MANNY F., BONNERS FERRY 

“Ben was wonderful and attentive to helping us sell our house. 

Knowledgeable and committed to doing the very best at 

marketing and preparing the sales process. Can’t say enough 

about how fortunate we were to have him lead our sale.” 

JOHN D., SANDPOINT

way. Vertical tool racks are also an easy way to keep your rakes, shovels and brooms upright, taking up as 

little space as possible. You’ll be amazed at how much space you’ll save by putting in a wall-mounted bike 

rack, and the tried-and-true peg board is an easy place to store and see small tools. Finally, tuck away kid toys, 

decorations, seasonal goods, camping equipment, etc. in large plastic tubs and place them on your shelving. 

Just be sure to label each. 

While an entire home exterior paint job might be out of the budget, a few simple upgrades can also freshen up 

your home’s curbside appearance. Start with a new mailbox, something that speaks to your personality. Next, 

try updating your address numbers to something more modern. While you are at it, paint or stain the front 

door. Finally, take your porch or garage lights to the next level with LED lighting, which can change colors 

dependent on your mood or the season with a simple swipe of your phone. 

While there is seemingly always some improvement we can make to our living spaces, summer is not the time 

to get bogged down with a month’s long project. Give your home a small refresh this spring, and you’ll be ready 

for an even more enjoyable summer.

Make an investment in your future.

Bonners Ferry 

Springtime in 

Traditions to look forward to 

by TAYLOR SHILLAM 

Springtime in Bonners Ferry signals a change in seasons 

worth celebrating, and there are plenty of ways to do so, from 

the highly anticipated Bonners Ferry Rotary Easter Egg Hunt 

to the start of Farmers Market season. 

ROTARY CLUB OF BONNERS FERRY EASTER EGG HUNT 

The annual Rotary Easter Egg Hunt has been kicking off the Easter 

weekend in Bonners Ferry for years. Each year, on the Saturday 

before Easter Sunday, children gather their Easter baskets and 

bags, and bundle up for an event known to take place—rain or 

shine. This year, the hunt begins promptly at 11am. 

The tradition began decades ago with the Bonners Ferry Lions 

Club and is now continued on by the Bonners Ferry Rotary. 

Last year, over 120 dozen eggs were boiled and colored in the 

days leading up to the event. Residents of the Restorium aid in 

preparing the eggs for the event. 

On Saturday, April 8, the egg hunt will be held in the parking lot 

of the Boundary County Fairgrounds, located at 6567 Recreation 

Park Road. 

“We hide the eggs in different locations, depending on age factors,” 

shares Glenda Poston of the Bonners Ferry Rotary. Participating 

children will be divided into separate age brackets: ages 0 to 2, 3 

to 4, 5 to 6, 7 to 8, and 9 to 10 years old. Parents are encouraged 

to help their younger children under the age of 5 make their way 

through the hunt. 

Community support for the event has been consistent over the 

years. “The rotary has held the egg hunt for the past four to five 

years,” Glenda says, but the Bonners Ferry Lions Club started it 

many years ago, probably 50 or more years. 

The tradition began decades 

ago with the Bonners 

Ferry Lions Club and is now 

continued on by the Bonners 

Ferry Rotary. 


“It is so hard to determine the number of kids participating, 

because kids are just kids and they are moving way too fast 

to count,” Glenda says. Regardless, no child is left emptyhanded. 

“We have a group of Rotarians and community 

members that will help hide and ensure that all kids get 

several eggs, approximately 20 people.” 

Of course, the Easter Bunny will be in attendance. 

“Like everyone else, we are concerned about eggs, so the 

Easter Bunny will have some real eggs along with plastic eggs 

for this year,” Glenda says. The concern lies in the ability to 

get as many real eggs as they need. “We usually have well 

over 2,000 eggs, and so there is concern about getting that 

many eggs, hence the need for plastic eggs.” 

One thing has been made clear within the decades-old event: 

The egg hunt starts on time, and doesn't last long. 

Glenda emphasizes the timely kickoff to the egg hunt. “I 

encourage and stress that the hunt starts promptly at 11am,” 

she shares. “Not five minutes late, but at 11am. It usually lasts 

about 10 minutes, if that. These kids are fast.” 

She encourages all who want to participate to show up at 

least 15 minutes prior to the start time, “because we can’t 

wait—or I should say, the kids don’t wait,” she says. “We 

encourage all participants to find your marked-off area of the 

hunt, bring a basket or plastic sack for the eggs, and when the 

start time is announced to stand back, as it is all over in just 

a few minutes.” 

BONNERS FERRY FARMERS MARKET 

Springtime in Bonners Ferry also marks the earliest days 

of the Bonners Ferry Farmers Market, one of the oldest 

farmers markets in Idaho. Located next to Highway 95 and 

the downtown Bonners Ferry Visitors Center, the market is 

highly accessible and known to offer some of the best local 

products in the area.

CAROLINE WATSON 

Bonners Ferry High School 

Growing up in the year-round 

sunshine of Southern California, 

Caroline Watson never would 

have imagined living in the 

mountains of North Idaho, much less working 

in secondary education. 

"Honestly, I didn't actually pursue teaching as 

a career, it kind of found me," Caroline said. 

Yet, Caroline's unexpected journey to 

becoming a PE teacher, yearbook advisor and 

assistant volleyball coach at Bonners Ferry 

High School (BFHS) has been full of blessings 

along the way. 

Caroline won a volleyball state championship 

in high school and went on to play at the 

University of San Francisco. At USF, Caroline 

earned a bachelor’s degree in communication 

studies and also met her husband, a Sandpoint, 

Idaho, native. 

After college, a chance encounter gave 

Caroline an opportunity to begin her 

coaching, and eventually teaching, career. 

"One day while surfing, the former BYU 

men's volleyball coach [Troy Tanner] had 

recognized me from the volleyball community 

and asked if I was interested in coaching 

volleyball with him at this new high school — 

[JSerra Catholic]," Caroline remembered. 

Caroline agreed to give coaching a try, and 

she also helped at the school by working as 

a library assistant and tutoring students. 

With some encouragement from JSerra's 

principal at the time, Caroline decided to 

get her teaching certificate from Long Beach 

State University, and shortly thereafter took 

a role as a PE teacher and JV boys and girls 

volleyball coach. 

Then, in 2010, Caroline and her husband 

moved back to his hometown of Sandpoint. 

That fall, Caroline began working at BFHS, 

where she has taught for the last 13 years. 

In addition to teaching PE, Caroline was also 

hired to be the JV volleyball coach when she 

arrived at BFHS. She coached alongside Janis 

Tucker, a colleague and mentor who has made 

a big impact in Caroline's life. 

"[Janis] has not only been a mentor to me 

in my teaching career but has also become 

a close friend," Caroline said. "Janis is a true 

example of a professional, intentional and 

hardworking educator, coach and mentor." 

Several years later, Caroline was approached 

about becoming the school's yearbook 

advisor. Despite having no previous 

experience with yearbook, she has come to 

relish the opportunities to connect with her 

students that the new position affords her. 

Caroline is the mother of three children under 

the age of 8, who keep her busy and bring her 

much joy. 

"When I'm not working, I'm taking my kids to 

soccer, baseball, wrestling, ballet, piano, etc.," 

Caroline said. "They are my life right now."

Students in the spotlight 

SENIOR BASKETBALL PLAYERS by CHRISTIAN WEANER 

Bonners Ferry Boys Basketball recently completed 

its best season in program history, and the 

team's five seniors—Braeden Blackmore, David 

Hammons, Charles Henslee, Porter Schulte and 

Ridge Williams—were a big reason why. 

However, this success comes as no surprise to Badgers Head 

Coach Nathan Williams, who has coached this group since 

they were in elementary school. 

"When the senior group was in fifth grade and the sophomore 

group was in third grade, I saw a lot of athleticism, grit, 

determination and fight in both groups," Nathan recalled. 

"I remember telling them that if they stay away from girls, 

drugs and alcohol, they will be state champions." 

As the senior group developed over the years, one thing 

Nathan said he noticed is how much they respect, trust and 

genuinely care for one another. 

"What truly makes my heart happy, and something I didn't 

ask of them, is how they stand up and cheer for each other 

on the bench," Nathan noted. "I don't ever see it because 

I am focused on the game, but watching our highlights 

brings so much joy to me when I witness their support for 

one another." 

Nathan first became the head coach for this group when 

they were in middle school, and he was their coach ever 

since. Each season, he constantly pushed them to be the 

best basketball players they could be. 

"I have been telling them since they were young that 

everyone wants to win, everyone likes to win, but very few 

are willing to put in the time and effort to win," Nathan 

explained. "It is not easy to win, or everyone would do it. 

This group has stuck it out, and I am so happy that it is 

paying off for them." 

After making appearances in the 3A State Tournament the 

past two seasons, this year's team has had its sights set on a 

deep playoff run since the beginning of the season. 

"For me, it would be awesome to bring home a trophy and to 

continue to make history with this group of seniors," Nathan 

said. "They truly deserve it since they have worked so hard 

in practice and the off-season for years to accomplish what 

they are achieving." 

Ultimately, regardless of how the season ends, Nathan's 

desire is that the seniors will always be grateful for all they 

accomplished during their high school careers. 

"My hope is that one day they will look back on their 

basketball season and have fond memories of their 

teammates, coaches, and overall experience," Nathan said.

Each spring, since 1966, a group of young women 

from Bonners Ferry are afforded the opportunity to 

shine as they receive professional guidance, practice 

valuable skills and gain one-of-a-kind experiences 

through an inspiring national program—the Distinguished 

Young Women (DYW) Scholarship Program. 

“The program is open to all high school juniors 

(homeschooled/alternative schools as well), so any girl in the 

class of 2024 is welcome to participate,” states Andrakay Pluid, 

chairman for Distinguished Young Women Bonners Ferry. 

Those who choose to be involved in the program, which is free 

to participate in and only requires that these young women 

agree to a code of conduct that includes abiding by moral and 

ethical principles, complete the registration paperwork, and 

their journey to becoming the year’s Distinguished Young 

Woman begins. 

"Jurassic Quest” is the theme for the 2023 program, which 

will take place at 6:30pm on Saturday, April 29, at the Bonners 

Ferry High School’s Becker Auditorium. Tickets go on sale the 

second week of April at Mountain Mike’s Health Food Store 

in Bonners Ferry. 

Each year, the DYW program typically awards $12,000 or 

more in scholarships—funds that are raised entirely from 

community donations—to be used for any educational 

pursuit of the participant's choosing. 

According to Andrakay, leading up to the April 29 program, 

the selected participants will be busy practicing three nights 

per week to learn routines for the on-stage presentation, for 

which they will be judged in the following categories, with each 

accounting for a percentage of their overall score: Interview 

(25 percent), Scholastics (25 percent), Talent (20 percent), 

Fitness (15 percent) and Self Expression (15 percent). 

by JILLIAN CHANDLER 

This year’s Distinguished Young Women participants are: 

Avery Bayer, Braylyn Bayer, Shanlee Chaffin, Ana Chase, 

Addy Heigel and Markynn Pluid. 

“The participants will also participate in the Be Your Best 

Self (BYBS) program, which is the community outreach and 

service portion of the DYW program,” shares Andrakay,

adding that there are five tenets of the BYBS program: Be Healthy, Be 

Studious, Be Involved, Be Ambitious, and Be Responsible. This nationwide 

outreach effort to spread the Be Your Best Self message takes place 

on a national level prior to the DYW program, April 17 through 21. 

“Throughout the program, DYW participants will mentor sixth-grade girls 

from the local middle school, perform community service projects, and 

spend time learning about the five tenets of BYBS and applying them to 

their lives.” 

For participants, the experience is sure to be life-changing, as they make 

new friendships, participate in workshops focused on interviewing and 

public speaking, as well as showcase their achievements. And, of course, 

have the opportunity to be awarded a scholarship to help pay for their 

continuing education. 

“Programs like DYW are important to help build confidence and teach 

important life skills and lessons in our youth,” affirms Andrakay. “For 

example, practicing and learning interview skills is a lifelong skill the 

participants will utilize. The DYW program, in particular, is excellent 

at helping young women gain tools to meet their full potential and have 

fun—all while possibly earning college scholarships. 

Save the date—April 29—and don’t miss an evening showcasing the hard 

work and determination of these six young ladies.

AN UNEXPECTED 

OPPORTUNITY 

Hope House's young new leadership 

starts a new chapter for the 

philanthropic organization 

by CHRISTIAN WEANER 

When Anna Pine began volunteering at Hope House back 

in December 2021, she had no idea that less than a year 

later, she and her husband, Eli, would be tasked with 

running the organization. 

Anna simply saw a need and was looking for a way that she could help 

make a difference. 

"[I realized] that there was a serious need in the community, and there 

are many people that can't afford basic things like toilet paper, hygiene 

products, even clothing," Anna explained. "I felt like I needed to do 

something to help." 

However, in the spring of 2022, when Hope House founder and director 

Aimee Christopherson announced that she and her family would be 

moving away, the organization—which has been serving Boundary 

County for 15 years—was in jeopardy of closing its doors. 

"If no one would have taken [Hope House] over after Aimee [moved], 

it probably would have just shut down," Anna said. "I personally didn't 

want to see that happen, so I talked to Eli." 

After considering the time commitment and responsibilities of the 

position for several months, Anna and Eli eventually agreed to take 

over Hope House, officially beginning as the new directors in July 2022. 

Under their leadership, the organization has held several successful 

events, started a new soup kitchen, and was recently named 2022 

Bonners Ferry Living Local's Finest Organization with a Cause. 

"Aimee put so much time and effort into this organization," Eli 

explained. "And we just want to do it justice." 

Hope House has been operating at its current location in Moyie Spring 

since 2011. 

The organization aims to help individuals and families by offering free 

clothing, food, baby supplies and other household items that cannot be 

purchased with food stamps. The organization is open every Friday and 

Saturday with pickup times from 1 to 5pm. 

In addition to their normal services, Hope House also sponsors several 

special events throughout the year, like a winter clothing giveaway and, 

most notably, the Back to School Bash barbeque and school supply 

giveaway held every August at the fairgrounds. 

In January, Hope House began a new weekly soup kitchen, which 

offers free meals each Friday evening from 5:30 to 7pm at the Seniors 

Hospitality Center. 

Starting a soup kitchen in Bonners Ferry had been a dream of Eli's since

he was in high school, and this fall he was finally able to bring the idea 

to fruition. This new project has been a big undertaking for Eli, who 

plans the menu each month, purchases all the food and coordinates 

the volunteers to prepare and serve it. 

For Eli, raising awareness for Hope House and the resources the 

organization provides, and seeing people's positive responses to the 

soup kitchen, has been rewarding. 

"I have had quite a few people come up to me saying that they really 

appreciate getting a meal on Fridays and how much that has helped 

them," Eli described. "Realizing that our efforts are being appreciated 

and used [is rewarding]." 

Hope House currently partners with the Community Action 

Partnership food bank, and Eli said that he has contacted other 

public service entities like Boundary County Victim Services to make 

connections and work together to provide individuals and families 

with the resources they need. 

"I'm trying to reach out to all the organizations because I know I can't 

do it all," Eli noted. "The more people I have involved [with Hope 

House], the better." 

Anna and Eli were both excited and nervous at the opportunity to run 

Hope House. They knew that the position would come with much 

responsibility, but getting to encourage and help others is what the 

couple enjoys the most. 

"Seeing people being genuinely thankful for what we are doing and 

knowing that we are making a difference in their lives is really huge," 

Anna said. 

One year ago, neither Anna nor Eli could have predicted they would 

be the directors of a nonprofit organization. However, today, they 

are thankful for the unexpected opportunity to serve others through 

Hope House. 

"I feel like God called us to this, so I feel a sense of purpose through 

it," Anna explained. "To me, [running Hope House] feels like I am 

fulfilling God's calling in my life." 

"I feel like God called 

us to this, so I feel 

a sense of purpose 

through it, To me, 

[running Hope 

House] feels like I 

am fulfilling God's 

calling in my life." 

"After running it now, I feel like I could not imagine not doing it," 

Anna added. "It feels like part of our life now."

WELCOMING HOME DESIGN TRENDS THAT MIX 

THE OLD AND NEW WITH THE BEAUTY AND 

WARMTH OF NATURAL MATERIALS AND BOLD 

OPTIMISTIC COLORS 

by ALLISON POLLOCK-PUGH

BONNERS FERRY LIVING LOCAL march/april 2023

The prospect of design updates 

often brings visions of the family 

and friends you’ll host and the 

memories you’ll make in your 

new space. 

E 

ach spring, new flower buds 

emerge from the long-dormant 

earth, basking the world in color 

and sparking feelings of renewal, change 

and fresh starts. Spring is nature’s gentle 

way of shaking us awake after a period of 

hibernation—inspiring and energizing us 

with longer days and more sunlight. While 

some opt for traditional spring cleaning, 

others embrace the nudge offered by the 

season change and choose to rejuvenate 

their living spaces. 

The prospect of design updates often brings 

visions of the family and friends you’ll 

host and the memories you’ll make in your 

new space. As you start researching design 

trends, it’s easy to get lost down the neverending 

Pinterest rabbit hole. The countless 

options and opinions can quickly become 

overwhelming, causing major decision 

paralysis. You want your space to feel like 

it belongs in this decade (or century), but 

trends can be fleeting, and any significant 

changes need to withstand the test of time. 

Your home is a personal space—it should be 

a calm and comforting place that considers 

your lifestyle and reflects what you like. 

Connecting with the earth and bringing a 

feeling of groundedness into your home is 

reflected in the home design trends this year. 

People are seeking stability and peace within 

their homes, reaching for warm neutrals 

with pops of rich colors, natural materials 

and versatile pieces that make you feel safe, 

comfortable and inspired. 

A place we often start when considering a 

home redesign is colors—and not just paint. 

Wallpaper with bold patterns and textures 

add visual interest to a myriad of surfaces 

throughout the house. Colors affect our 

mood, emotions and energy level, making 

them an important factor in aesthetic and 

overall vibe. 

While neutrals have a timeless appeal, 

people are ditching the cool white and gray 

colors for creamy earth tones that give off 

a homey feeling and warmer brown shades 

that anchor the space and make us feel more 

grounded. Sherwin Williams’ announced 

their color of the year as Redend Point 

(SW 9081)), a romantic warm neutral that 

embodies all things cozy and tranquil. 


MOSSY AND DEEP SHADES OF GREEN ARE ALMOST 

CONSIDERED NEUTRAL FOR THEIR VERSATILITY. 

Paired with creamier neutrals are bold colors that elicit a desired emotion from the space. Soothing greens, deep 

blues and rich berry hues are taking center stage in 2023. Benjamin Moore chose a vibrant red-orange called 

Raspberry Blush (2008-30) as their color of the year for 2023—this bold and refreshing hue energizes a room for 

maximum impact. Mossy and deep shades of green are almost considered neutral for their versatility—used to 

upgrade furniture and décor or make a bold wall color while balancing a room. 

Bringing natural elements into your home means embracing the inconsistencies, imperfections and unique 

beauty in raw, natural materials. Cookie-cutter design pieces from big-box stores made from synthetic materials 

are being replaced with a newfound (or renewed) appreciation for durable, long-lasting organic materials. 

Meaningfully investing in a few masterfully crafted pieces built for longevity is being more highly valued as 

people want a story or connection to the items they keep in their homes. 

One of the most beautiful and often underappreciated design materials is front and center: natural wood. 

Furniture and design elements crafted from light- or mid-toned woods that lovingly embrace the natural artistry 

of high-contrast grains add warmth and texture to a room. Think 1960’s and 1970’s rich mahogany end tables or 

dark oak shelving. Even natural wood cabinets are making a comeback, mingling with natural stone to create a 

mixed material kitchen. Integrate other wood touches with wooden-legged chairs, swap out picture frames for 

wood versions, or display that one-of-a-kind wood carving you found in your grandma’s basement.

YOUR HOME SHOULD BE A PLACE WHERE YOU FEEL RELAXED. 

The desire to feel more grounded and connected with the earth 

means a shift from sterile white kitchens to natural materials, 

whimsical colors, patterns and textures. Natural stone slabs for 

kitchen countertops and backsplashes paired with dynamic colored 

cabinets and warm wood accents are inviting and functional to an 

area where families often congregate. While quartz remains a more 

economical choice, colorful marbles, soapstone and limestone with 

exaggerated, contrasting veining will become more prominent. 

Not looking to do a complete overhaul? Swapping out your 

backsplash, painting your island a vibrant hue, or even installing 

a warm walnut butcher-block island makes a huge difference and 

doesn’t require construction. 

After all the change and chaos of the past several years, there’s a 

general desire to reconnect with the things that really matter. 

Mixing vintage pieces into your contemporary space elicits a sense 

of nostalgic comfort and further personalizes your space. Adding 

meaningful objects such as heirloom pieces or sentimental items 

add character and depth to the space. Who doesn’t love a story 

about the antique table your great uncle brought all the way from 

Armenia? Pieces like these are part of your story and bring a sense 

of history into your home. 

look by thoughtfully picking out individual pieces that you love. 

Peruse an antique store for treasures, and refurbish them to make 

them your own. Or display unique trinkets, vases or sculptures 

found while traveling. Vintage furniture, heirloom accessories and 

one-of-a-kind, personalized pieces mix beautifully with modern 

styles and are more sustainable than short-term, disposable items. 

Combining antiques with a new, modern design can spark beloved 

memories while honoring a bygone era and adding timeless 

elegance to your space. 

The architectural design and environment surrounding your 

home can also help inspire your design. A French country interior 

can feel out of place in a modern contemporary home, and a 

mid-century modern style can feel conflicted in a coastal beach 

house. Additionally, homes with ample shade from surrounding 

evergreen trees may select light-reflecting colors to brighten the 

interior. A home basking in warm, golden sunlight may need cool 

colors to balance the bright warmth. 

While these home design trends are things to consider, they 

shouldn’t be the deciding factor. Your home should be a place 

where you feel relaxed and content; somewhere that reflects who 

you are and what you love.

Ramon Issa M.D. and his wife Celeste have called 

North Idaho home for nearly five years—Bonners 

Ferry for the past three. “We were looking for an 

area that supported homeschoolers, Christian values, 

hard-working families like our own, where we could 

be as self-sufficient as possible, in an area where others 

were doing the same,” the couple shares. 

HEALING THROUGH NUTRITION 

AND LIFESTYLE CHANGES 

Off Grid Doc provides the personalized 

care you deserve 

By JILLIAN CHANDLER 


The Issas opened their practice—Off Grid Doc—and 

started accepting new patients in June of 2021. Offering 

direct primary care, medical weight-loss and metabolic 

health programs, and one-time medical or metabolic 

consultations, Off Grid Doc focuses on finding the root 

cause rather than masking symptoms. 

What makes Off Grid Doc truly unique is that it is a 

membership-based practice. Patients pay an annual 

membership fee, then all of their visits, as well as their 

new patient labs, are included. “Because we do not 

accept insurance, we are able to spend as much time as 

necessary getting to the root of our patients’ medical 

problems,” Dr. Issa states. “We are not limited to a 10- to 

15-minute office visit. Our new patient visit and medical 

or metabolic consultations are 90 minutes minimum.” 

Their small practice, nestled in a home setting, allows 

Dr. Issa to spend as much time as needed with each 

one of his patients to give them the best quality of 

care, and Off Grid Doc is available 24/7 to members of 

their practice by phone, text and email. “Because of the 

nature of our practice, we do not require our patients

to come into the office for every visit,” shares Celeste, who is the 

office manager for their practice. “When appropriate, our patients 

can take advantage of our telemedicine either by phone or a video 

visit, which allows them to stay in the comfort of their home 

when they are not feeling well, or weather does not cooperate. We 

also offer house calls when needed.” 

The inspiration behind opening this unique practice was very 

personal to Dr. Issa. After his own father passed away from 

obesity, diabetes and other metabolic-related health problems, 

Dr. Issa looked at his own life and realized that if he didn’t do 

something, he may not even live as long as his own father. Though 

Dr. Issa had once been fit, physically active and ate a healthy diet, 

he was devoting less time to his personal health. At the time of 

his father’s death, Dr. Issa weighed 308 pounds and had many 

health problems. 

In May of 2017, he started thinking “outside the box” of medicine 

that he had practiced with his patients and started implementing 

in his own life—principles that changed the way he practiced 

medicine and managed his own health. There was no surgical 

procedure, special exotic supplement nor an expensive gym 

membership. “I knew that because I wasn’t always overweight, 

and my body wasn’t always sick, that my body could get better 

by changing my lifestyle and nutrition,” he affirms. Over the next 

100 days, Dr. Issa lost 94 pounds and transformed his health and 

felt better than he had in years. 

“Because of his natural love for teaching, Dr. Issa has developed 

a simple plan for his patients to follow that will change their 

life too,” smiles Celeste. “His general practice of medicine has 

changed as well, and he no longer looks for a drug to prescribe 

to fix your ailment but for why you have this ailment in the first 

place and what could you change about your diet or lifestyle that 

could actually fix it.” 

“There are times when prescription medication may be necessary, 

but we would prefer to find the root cause of the problem, and it 

would be better than managing the symptoms with potentially 

lifelong medication use,” Dr. Issa adds. 

When it comes to what Dr. Issa finds most rewarding about the 

work he does, it is “being able help our patients reverse medical 

conditions like insulin resistance, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, 

obesity, fatty liver, high blood pressure and cholesterol, and 

help people reduce—or completely eliminate—the need for 

medications for metabolic conditions.” 

Having healed his own body, Dr. Issa has a passion to empower 

his patients to reach their best health, and he continues to stay 

on top of the latest research to help his patients reach their goals. 

If you’re looking to take back your health and heal your body 

through nutrition and lifestyle changes, all while receiving the 

personalized care you deserve, Off Grid Doc is ready to lead you 

on your journey to healing.

How Does Your 

Gardening for your health 


Garden Grow? 

by RACHEL KELLY 


G 

ardening is an investment in your well-being. 

Vegetables, flowers, mushrooms, orchards or 

trees … whatever is planted well will thrive. 

And if it thrives, you thrive. The benefits of gardening are 

numerous: from an increased sense of wellness to healthy 

levels of vitamin D. The effort of gardening counts as 

exercise and the product of gardening often leads to an 

interest in eating healthier. No doubt about it, when you 

get outside to plant, you harvest health. Also, planting a 

garden is just beautiful. The scent of the apple blossoms 

carried on the wind acts as aromatherapy. The sight of 

green growing things encourages life under the ground 

and above it, from worms to bees and butterflies. It’s no 

wonder why we flock to forests, lakes and outdoor spaces 

at all times of the year. Gardening makes those outdoor 

spaces accessible just outside our door. Here are a few 

ways your garden can promote your everyday health. 

First, ask yourself, “How does my garden grow?” Yes, 

it’s a children’s nursery rhyme, but it’s also a good rule 

of thumb when planning out your garden. You want the 

health benefits of your garden to last throughout the year, 

so it’s important to consider which plants will bring you 

the most joy. If you want the garden to benefit you every 

day, year-around, you have to plant a garden that you find 

sustainable. For some this means planting plants that seed 

themselves. Examples of such plants include potatoes, 

onions, anything in the mint family, evergreens, and a 

huge variety of flowers. Self-seeding plants require very 

little tilling and maintenance, and practically thrive on 

their own. 

Some gardens are made up of well-organized “weeds” 

(by far the easiest sort of garden to grow), which are 

exceptionally hardy in addition to being self-seeding. 

When growing exceptionally boisterous plants, you might 

consider planting in pots or plots. Examples include 

anything in the dandelion family, mints, many herbs, 

clover, sunchokes, and different grasses. Many of the herbs 

and berries harvested for health benefits in the forests and 

fields are considered “weeds.” 

Another very practical approach to gardening for your 

health means planting things that you enjoy eating, perhaps 

things that you don’t always find fresh in the grocery store. 

There’s no reason to become completely reliant upon your 

garden, although it is nice to peruse the garden for dinner 

rather than take a trip to the grocery store. However, the 

more vegetables and fruits you plant, the more you will 

find yourself branching out and enjoying things that you 

didn’t know you liked. This often has to do with the very 

real taste difference between fresh garden produce and 

grocery store finds: Fresh is just better. 

A vegetable garden is accessible, and it opens up doors 

to produce and delicious foods that we might have not 

previously had. This encourages us to make healthier 

choices. An example would be the tomato. It’s relatively 

easy to grow (make sure you plant the roots deep), and 

its fruit is extremely abundant. When harvest time comes, 

you will have basket after basket of tomatoes that are good 

enough to eat plain, no adornment necessary. The excess 

can be turned into sauce or salsa to be enjoyed all year. 

Another example is the sugar snap pea, which during 

the spring months is so abundant that you could gather 

a basket daily from five plants. It’s also delicious without 

any adornment or seasoning and full of protein, making 

them a favorite for children on the go. Abundance will

spawn creativity, and before you know it your plate is full of 

nutrient-dense goodies. The more you have, the more you 

consume. When talking about produce, this is a great thing! 

Aside from gardening sustainably, and gardening for food, 

the garden can also be a place of mental health. Many of the 

benefits that you go out of your way to enjoy, and actively 

spend money on, can be achieved simply through the garden. 

The garden can be a place of privacy and rest, much like a mini 

retreat. For this reason, you might want to plant according to 

season, with something to enjoy in spring, summer, fall and 

winter. For example, tulips and crocus will pop up every year 

during spring, roses in summer and fall, and witch hazel in 

winter. 

It’s not important that the garden always be “practical” to be 

a place of health. Growing a sense of well-being and safety 

is not to be scoffed at, as the state of our mind contributes 

considerably to our physical health. You might be inclined to 

plant roses for their scent, mint because of its relaxing smell 

in the bath, lavender because you like to cut the flowers for 

the dinner table, or dahlias for their burst of color. There are 

flowers that attract butterflies or hummingbirds, and plants 

that simply provide greenery. There are a variety of trees that 

do nothing for your plate but everything for lazy summer 

days in your hammock. Whatever the reason, investing in a 

garden is investing in your home and your health. And that is 

an investment worth making.

Preventative Care is Self-Care 

Put your health in your control 

by DANIELLE LARSSON, BOUNDARY COMMUNITY HOSPITAL 

Self-care. It’s the world’s latest favorite catchphrase. It seems 

you can’t go anywhere without hearing or seeing it, and 

honestly, out of all the phases our society goes through, I 

hope this one is here to stay. The message is simple: You can’t 

pour from an empty cup, so ensure you’re keeping yours full. For us 

to effectively take care of others, we must first take care of ourselves. 

Take care of yourself so that you can be healthy and happy, do your 

job well, help and care for others, and do all the things you need and 

want to accomplish in your typical day. Generally, when you think 

of self-care, the things that immediately come to mind are: getting 

a massage, working out, eating nutritious food, getting outside, 

reading, and so on. All of those are very important to self-care, but 

often what is missed is that preventative care is an instrumental part 

of self-care. 

Preventative care refers to tests and screenings performed to check 

your health status so that you can make informed decisions on your 

health and lifestyle. Preventive care includes regular physical exams 

with your primary care provider (PCP), cholesterol and blood 

pressure screening, eye exams, immunizations, cancer screenings, 

and blood sugar levels. 

Feeling anxious about screening labs and testing is natural, but taking 

the time each year to go to your annual check-up puts your health 

in your control. Getting a diagnosis, or ruling out a diagnosis, can 

relieve your anxiety and provide reassurance that can be profoundly 

helpful. Your PCP can help you identify risk factors through simple 

blood tests, screening, and physical exams. Having that knowledge 

allows you to mitigate your risk factors by making healthy lifestyle 

changes or pursuing treatment recommended by your PCP. Early 

detection allows for the best chance to cure or reduce the effects of a 

disease. Knowledge is power; the sooner you have the information, 

the better the opportunities for positive outcomes. You should not 

wait for symptoms to be present. 

There are different levels of prevention: 

• Primordial Prevention: Pursuing a healthy lifestyle from birth. 

For example, raising our children in a way that reduces exposure to 

unsafe or unhealthy conditions, providing them with healthy food 

choices while educating them on the importance of a well-balanced 

diet and encouraging physical activity. 

• Primary Prevention: To prevent a disease from ever occurring. 

For example, immunizations. 

• Secondary Prevention: This emphasizes early disease detection, 

healthy-appearing individuals with subclinical forms of the disease. 

For example, the beginning stages of a disease, with no apparent 

symptoms, and detected through screenings. 

Boundary Community Hospital and Boundary Community Clinics 

are committed to providing the care our community needs. We are 

proud to offer state-of-the-art laboratory equipment that allows inhouse 

testing to be completed with results often in only a few hours. 

Our Cardiopulmonary Department now offers echocardiograms, 

stress tests, and pulmonary function testing. Our Diagnostic Imaging 

Department is usually able to get you an appointment the same day 

as requested and offers 3-D Mammography, 4-D Ultrasound, MRI, 

CT scans, Diagnostic X-rays, and DXA Scans.

EASTER 

TRADITIONS 

DISCOVER THE MEANING OF EASTER AND 

SOME OF ITS TRADITIONS 

COURTESY ARTICLE 


As the arrival of Easter Sunday approaches on April 9 this year, 

people all over the world are gearing up for one of the most 

exciting celebrations of the year! This Christian holiday is 

observed in almost 95 countries, with around 80 percent of the population 

participating in the festivities. 

Get ready for a feast for the senses as Easter Sunday comes alive with 

vibrant colors, mouthwatering foods, and joyful traditions! From the 

lively Easter egg hunts to the joyous visits with the Easter Bunny, this 

holiday is full of delightful surprises and heartwarming moments. 

For centuries, Easter Sunday has been celebrated as a tribute to the 

resurrection of Jesus Christ. And as time has passed, numerous traditions 

have emerged to mark this event, each with its own unique flare. Whether 

you’re gathering with family or friends, there’s no doubt that the spirit of 

Easter will fill the air, bringing people together with love, hope, and joy. 

So, mark your calendars and join in the fun as we honor this sacred 

holiday in our own special way. Let’s make this year’s Easter Sunday a day 

to remember! 

Sunrise Easter Service 

One long-standing tradition is the sunrise Easter service, which dates 

back to 1732 when the Moravian Church held the first service at dawn in 

Germany. This practice honors the moment when Mary discovered Jesus’ 

tomb was empty early in the morning. 

Ham/Lamb 

Although the choice of what to serve for Easter dinner might come down 

to taste preference, the menu holds great significance for some. In early 

Jewish history, lambs were sacrificed as offerings to God and served 

regularly as part of the Passover feast. Then, when Jesus died during 

Passover, he represented the ultimate sacrifice for sin, the “lamb of God,” 

so the animal evolved into a meaningful symbol for Christians. Many 

Orthodox Christians still follow the Jewish Orthodox customs of not 

eating any pork, so lamb takes center stage at their Easter meal. 

The Easter Bunny and Easter Baskets 

The Easter Bunny and Easter baskets are also popular Easter traditions 

that have evolved over time. The Easter Bunny is believed to have 

originated from ancient spring and fertility celebrations, while Easter 

baskets may have originated with Middle Eastern farmers bringing 

baskets of seedlings to be blessed for a successful harvest. 

Hot Cross Buns 

These festive rolls have their origins in ancient Egypt, Rome and Greece, 

where they were considered symbols of honor for their goddesses. 

Eventually, they gained popularity during Easter in England, where 

bakers were restricted from selling spiced breads except on special 

occasions such as the Friday before Easter. 

Hot cross buns, baked on Good Friday, were believed by many English 

people to never grow moldy and were therefore kept as good luck charms. 

They accompanied sailors on voyages and were buried in piles of grain to 

prevent rodents. Today, these buns mainly serve as a representation of the 

Christian symbol of the cross. 

Egg Tapping Game 

The Easter tradition of egg tapping, also known as egg fighting, egg 

knocking, egg pacqueing, egg boxing, egg picking or egg jarping, involves 

two people tapping the pointed ends of eggs together until one cracks, 

with the winner being the person who cracks the most eggs. This game 

originated in Medieval Poland and is still played in many parts of the 

world today. In Louisiana, the town of Marksville holds an annual official 

egg-tapping competition with stringent rules and regulations, and 

winners must demonstrate that their eggs are real by cracking and eating 

them at the end of the event. 

Whether you choose to commemorate the holiday with traditions that 

are centuries-old or create your own new traditions, there are many ways 

to make this Easter march/april Sunday 2023 a memorable BONNERS one. FERRY LIVING LOCAL 59

DO 

Arrive red-carpet style via private plane from Honolulu to Lāna‘i. Concierge 

transfers from Honolulu’s Daniel K. Inouye International Airport to Lāna‘i is 

included with your reservation at Sensei Lāna‘i. Four Seasons’ staff members will 

accompany you every step of the way, beginning with a 35-minute flight to Lāna‘i 

on Lāna‘i Air, then transporting you to the resort—about a 10-minute drive from 

the airport. 

A retreat that fills the senses and a getaway where dreams become a reality, your 

lavish stay at Sensei Lāna‘i, A Four Seasons Resort starts with a welcome upon 

arrival that puts you in relaxation mode from the start. You won’t help but notice 

the Cook pines lining your path to the resort, purposely planted to give you a sense 

of belonging.

techniques for a better you! Tailor-made fitness with Biomarkers, nutritionists and

your carefully planned stay. Do as little or as much as you desire! 

Allow the personalized experiences menu to help guide you to a path of well-being 

and a journey that deepens your connection to your health goals and intentions. 

Your balanced itinerary should include a wide variety: Choose a spa treatment, 

one of the fun on-site activities that interests you, an excursion, and a visit with 

the health practitioner team members. Personally, you will see that co-founder 

Dr. David Agus has given his expert touch on helping people discover ways to 

a healthier existence. The techniques and information that were shared with me 

about my own health were astonishing! Access these keys to a better way of life. 

Explore the plentiful avocations on this expansive property that culminates land, 

water and sky with hues of blues you have never seen. Some of my favorites: Wander 

amidst the onsen garden pathways with beautiful streams and small bridgeways, 

and soak in one of the 10 private tubs tucked into the garden hideaways. A favorite 

discovery! Definitely observe the outdoor art collection and unique sculpture 

displays. Swim laps or take a leisurely dip in the larger pool with an oasis of tropical 

plants and trees that surround the pool deck. Having a quiet moment poolside 

isn’t a bad choice either. Lounge chairs are conveniently tucked away to give you 

privacy. To the Spa! Private massage hales are separate buildings for just you and 

feature 1,000 square feet of bliss to extend your spa treatment. Enjoy a soaking 

tub, rain shower, sauna, outside pools and streams after your massage. Top of the 

list: Reflexology and Lomi Lomi. Amazing health benefits and de-stress activators. 

Retreat for the Yogi ~ Restorative Aerial Yoga was another favorite; you may also 

enjoy morning meditation and Sensei Yoga Flow. 

If you’re looking for adventure, there’s the fun and freeing zip line, where you’ll 

ride high amongst the trees and take in the view! Challenge your mind and body 

with the ropes course while honing in on teamwork and problem-solving skills. 

This is a super unique course designed on a moat. Welcome the day with a hike on 

the Koloiki Ridge and bask in the beauty on this 4.9-mile journey to panoramic 

views of Maui and Moloka`i. You’ll feel invigorated and appreciate the gifts of 

movement and mother nature. If horses are your passion, check out the equestrian 

experience. Riding or viewing these beautiful animals in the green pasture during 

sunrise can be quite an experience as well as a magical photographer moment. 


Sensei Lāna‘i, A Four Seasons Resort is bountiful with native plants and 

grounds filled with surprises in every nook of this stunning property 

oasis. The intricate, colorful pathways to all the different amenities 

are perfectly designed to make every walk to your next destination

Discover the Resort bar. This indoor-outdoor concept’s open and 

welcoming space is the spot for a casual walk-in either after a restorative 

yoga session to grab a quick snack or a relaxing hangout to unwind at 

the end of the day. Bring your libations outside if you desire to lounge 

on the comfortable furniture and enjoy the landscape. 

A Destination That is Unmatched ... 

To encapsulate this resort in one article is a difficult task. The attention to the details from beginning to end is really what makes 

this place so special. Every effort is made to find the best people in the industry on every level to make your stay something from 

out of this world. Of course, no doubt the land, sea and air, combined with the accommodations, will take hold of you, but the

of your wellness journey. You will dream of a return as soon as you step foot off of the plantation.
