There are all sorts of things in life that can cause stress, anxiety and fear. For the most part, they are only temporary.

Eventually the unemployed will find a job, frustrated co-workers will work things out, the credit card debt will be paid or the marriage issues will be worked out.

People survive by finding ways to distract themselves from the daily stresses that at times, when focused upon, can simply be overwhelming. 

For children at the Oncology Department of Sacred Heart's Children Hospital, there is nothing temporary about why they are there. The circumstances of their sickness are beyond their control.  It never leaves them.

In order to fully participate in this upcoming "Tweed Ride" on September 14, you'll need a couple additions to your wardrobe.

Think late-19th century to early 20th century. Vests, rolled up sleeves, tight collars and impeccable socks. Ties aren't skinny - sometimes they're bow ties - because bow ties are cool.

It's a strange fashion subculture that is most evident indie pop orchestras and bartenders who take 20 minutes to mix the forgotten classics. The above video provides some inspiration.

The appearance is anything you make of it. The only requirement is that you look top notch and grab a bike. Fancy chaps and ladies are riding the length of Browne's Addition for the monthly BeGin celebration which includes free entrance to the Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture.

The ride begins at 5 p.m., starting at the MAC's parking lot. The museum party begins at 6 p.m. with music by Old Bear Mountain, DJ Locke and Bike Fights. RSVP via Facebook. 

The old organ was rolled out onto the stage for Lewis and Clark High School's 100th anniversary on Saturday morning. The heavy instrument is easy to move even for Barbara Top Rockwood with her specialized organ shoes on. After all, the class of 1946 graduate didn't want to scratch the pedals, a major component of playing the organ.

The instrument was bought in 1922 by students of the Spokane school. It was hard to gain access to throughout the years because of bad apples who would vandalize the pipes.

Rockwood says she and her band director had to beg the principal to let her play even though she'd been playing since she was about four years old. Growing up the daughter of an organist passed along the skills to read three lines of score all at the same time.

"Start with the feet and make them find some notes," Rockwood explained. "It's like a keyboard at the bottom."

It's been a while since she's played, but it was easy for her to play Variations of 'Tis a gift to be simple' arranged by George Lachenauer. For about 40 years she was the organist at the Manito Presbyterian along 30th and Grand Blvd.
