Dr. Hanes Brings Root Cause Resolution Medicine to Central Oregon
PRINEVILLE, OREGON - June 4, 2025 - Dr. Coby Hanes, founder of The Center for Functional Medicine, is changing the way people across Oregon look at their health and well-being with revolutionary root cause resolution medicine. This form of healthcare aims to treat the root cause of the problems a patient is experiencing rather than masking the symptoms with medication.
Dr. Hanes, author of ' Going From Surviving to Thriving: Your Functional Medicine QuickStart Guide,' is a functional medicine practitioner who offers an individualized six step plan to help patients overcome their health challenges by targeting the root cause. According to Dr. Hanes, 'I work diligently to uncover the root causes of what started the persons symptoms in the first place. I use systems based biology to understand the patient and their problems as an integrated whole, as opposed to treating or chasing every sign and symptom they present with.'
Some of the most common conditions he treats include ADHD, adrenal fatigue, seasonal and food allergies, autoimmune diseases, brain injuries and memory impairment, candida, diabetes, digestive health and leaky gut, and hormone imbalance. He starts by focusing on digestive health in each client. 'Most people are beginning to understand that many of their health conditions start in the gut. However, they have never had someone explain it to them or give them a roadmap of how to fix it' said Dr. Hanes.
Then, he moves forward with helping each patient optimize their nutrition; eliminate their toxin burden; reduce inflammation and stop infection; optimize brain function; eliminate allergies and sensitivities; and balance hormones. Dr. Hanes utilizes extensive functional lab testing to get a deep understanding of each patient's metabolic landscape; be it micro or macro nutrients deficiencies, autoimmunity, inflammation, infection or toxins. While functional lab testing looks at some of the same things as traditional labs, functional labs go much deeper, look at many more metabolic and early physiologic markers and interprets them in a much more holistic way, offering a clearer picture of overall health.
Dr. Hanes provides his patients with one-on-one, personalized care that tackles the underlying reasons for their symptoms and suffering. 'I've been helping patients with complex, chronic disease long enough to know that symptoms lie and every patient is unique. So, rather than treating symptoms, I work diligently to uncover the 'Root Causes' of what started the symptoms in the first place,' said Dr. Hanes'
Through Dr. Hanes' care, people in Oregon are transforming their health and living healthier lives. Dr. Hanes' preventative approach supports health for the long-term in ways that traditional symptoms based and pharmaceutically dependent medicine cannot. Right now, The Center for Functional Medicine is accepting new patients at its Prineville office.

Simple Mistake Costs Estate Big Tax Break
The portability of the lifetime estate and gift tax exemption amount between spouses was introduced in the 2010 tax law. But details of portability aren't well-known, and misunderstandings can cost an estate a lot of money. Each individual has a lifetime exemption from the estate and gift tax, which is $13.99 million in 2025 and will rise to $15 million in 2026. After that, it will be indexed for inflation. When one spouse dies and his or her estate doesn't use the entire lifetime exemption, the unused exemption amount can be passed to the surviving spouse. The surviving spouse then has an estate and gift tax exemption equal to his or her own exemption amount plus the unused amount of the deceased spouse. The surviving spouse's exemption amount is increased for inflation each year. But the unused amount from the deceased spouse isn't increased for inflation. The transfer of the unused amount is known as portability, though that term isn't used in the tax code or regulations. Because of portability, it's frequently said that a married couple has an estate and gift tax exemption amount of twice the individual exemption amount. But that's not the full story. It's often overlooked that passing the unused exemption amount to the surviving spouse isn't automatic. The regulations require the estate executor of the first spouse to die to elect to pass on the unused exemption. If the election isn't made, the unused exemption amount doesn't pass to the surviving spouse. The election is made when the executor makes a timely filing of an estate tax return for the deceased spouse. No special document or language is needed to make the election. The IRS considers the portability option to be elected if an estate tax return is filed, unless there's a statement saying that the unused exemption amount isn't being transferred to the surviving spouse. To transfer the unused exemption amount, the estate tax return must be filed even if one isn't otherwise required and the estate's value is far less than the deceased spouse's exemption amount. That's the trap estates fall into. The executor sees that the estate's value is far less than the deceased's exemption amount and doesn't file an estate tax return because one isn't required. But not filing the return means the unused exemption amount doesn't pass to the surviving spouse. Also, if an estate tax return is filed to ensure the unused exemption passes to the surviving spouse, the return must be timely, complete and accurate. Otherwise, the transfer of the exemption amount is void. An estate recently learned these lessons the hard way. The wife passed away with an estate valued at less than the exemption amount. The executor obtained an extension of the deadline for filing the estate tax return. But the executor didn't file the return until well after the new deadline. The husband died two years after the wife. His executor filed an estate tax return claiming his exemption amount plus the unused portion of the late wife's exemption. The IRS denied the use of the late wife's exemption amount, and the Tax Court agreed. The wife's estate tax return wasn't properly filed, because it was late. In addition, required information was missing, such as an itemization of the estate's assets and the fair market values of the assets on the date of her death. If there's any possibility a surviving spouse's estate might exceed that spouse's lifetime exemption amount at some point in the future, the executor of the estate of the first spouse to pass away should file an accurate, timely estate tax return to preserve any unused exemption amount for the surviving spouse. When deciding whether to exercise the portability election, keep in mind that the estate tax exemption amount is indexed to the Consumer Price Index. It's possible that the rate of return on investments will exceed the CPI. That could cause an estate that's comfortably below the estate exemption amount to exceed the amount after a decade or more of compounding. (Estate of Rowland v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo 2025-76)

Personalized Learning in High School Helps Prepare Students for the Workforce
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Are employers settling for better-than-nothing applicants to fill their entry-level positions? In a recent J. Wallin Opinion survey of businesses large and small across the U.S., 43 percent said that they have lowered their hiring standards due to reduced skill levels – and of those, 57 percent feel it has negatively affected their business. 1 Since only 50 percent of high school seniors plan to go to a four-year college, high schools must prepare students for the workforce as well as post-secondary education Share 'We believe it's important that teens learn basic workplace skills to help them land and keep a job,' said Shellie Hanes, superintendent at Learn4Life, a network of public high schools that personalize learning to individual students' needs, strengths and goals. 'Since only 50 percent of high school seniors plan to go to a four-year college 2, high schools must prepare students for the workforce as well as post-secondary education.' While earning their diplomas, all Learn4Life students complete a 10-week professional skills course that has them exploring career goals and learning basic computing, resume preparation and interview etiquette. Once completed, students move on to workforce development activities with structured, hands-on experiences that allow them to discover career pathways, develop essential skills and transition smoothly into a career or higher education. August is Personal Learning Month, created to promote the idea of teaching students in the way each learns best, with opportunities to learn job and life skills that will serve them after high school. More than 90 percent of employers said that personalized learning would help produce better-prepared candidates for entry-level positions. 3 'Many students lacked organizational skills, struggled with grammar, had no idea how to fill out a job application, handle a job interview or understand the basics of appropriate work behavior,' Hanes added. 'We offer courses so teens can acquire the skills to succeed in whatever job they want to pursue. Plus, many graduate with industry-recognized certifications – saving them thousands of dollars and giving them an advantage over other recent grads.' Employers cite these basic skills that entry-level workers are least likely to have 4: Work ethic/dependability Time management Problem-solving skills People skills with other employees Interpersonal skills with clients Punctuality Leadership Hanes said Learn4Life addresses those skills and teaches students about workplace communication, career readiness, employability skills, leadership and even financial literacy. 'By developing a personalized learning plan for each student, we can help them grow in areas they are good at and spend a little extra time on the skills they're lacking,' she explained. 'Because they are regularly communicating directly with their teachers and school counselors, they become comfortable speaking with adults and responding to what is expected of them.' Students then can move on to a specific CTE pathway where they are introduced to workplace competencies and receive hands-on learning– with options like computer programming, foodservice, healthcare, construction, veterinary medicine, robotics, construction and cyber-security. They earn industry-recognized certifications so they can secure internships, apprenticeships or jobs. One student, Jackie R., had dropped out of school to take care of her two children. Fortunately, she found Learn4Life, where the flexibility and personalized support helped her catch up on credits. She started in a dual-enrollment certified nursing assistant (CNA) program, balancing hands-on clinicals, academic work and motherhood with the help of her teachers and a close-knit group of classmates. 'Before I came to this school, I never envisioned being anybody. And now I know I can be somebody,' Jackie said, smiling.

About Learn4Life Learn4Life is a network of nonprofit public high schools that provide students personalized learning, career training and life skills. Each school is locally controlled, tuition free and gives students the flexibility and one-on-one attention they need to succeed. Serving more than 64,000 students through a year-round program, we help them prepare for a future beyond high school.

30(ish) Wirecutter Clothing and Accessory Picks for Going Back to School
Made from smooth, medium-weight Supima cotton, this surprisingly well-priced T-shirt is polished and nicely constructed. It comes in a good range of sizes, from XXS to 3XL, though some testers found it a bit too long. This light- to medium-weight cotton tee — available in sizes XS to 5XL from some retailers — is soft, cozy, and priced for stocking up. But some testers found it too long to wear untucked, and it shrinks quite a bit in the wash. A plain white tee is a year-round essential — and these are two of our favorite men's white T-shirts, both of which are under $25. The Uniqlo tee is medium-weight and comes in sizes from XXS to 3XL, while the Bella + Canvas option is lighter weight but super soft. This classic, budget-friendly crew-neck shirt is surprisingly solid: It's soft enough, substantial, and available in a wide range of sizes. It's cut longer and more relaxed than our other picks — but it also shrinks more in the wash. This T-shirt from Uniqlo has a slim fit and is made from a soft cotton with just the right amount of stretch, so it works as a first layer or on its own. In our guide to the best women's white T-shirts, we recommend some looser-fit tees, including the budget-friendly Hanes Perfect-T. But if you prefer something a bit more fitted, editor Maxine Builder recommends the baby-cut Uniqlo Mini T-Shirt, which costs just $5 more than our Hanes pick. Perhaps you're prone to spills or white just isn't your favorite color. We understand. Writer Alexander Aciman loves these unisex, super-soft plain cotton T-shirts. The Comfort Colors tees come in more than 30 hues. This well-priced oxford shirt comes in five cuts and a wide array of colors and prints. It's made from soft cotton that feels comfy and lived-in, yet it still looks sharp. A basic buttoned shirt is a nice option for days when you have to present something to the class. The Broken-In Organic Cotton Oxford Shirt comes in five silhouettes and a variety of colors and prints, so you're sure to find one that works with your wardrobe. The fabric is soft from day one, too, so it feels about as comfortable as a tee. This slim-cut shirt is sturdy, attractive, and affordably priced. The material is on the heavier side and feels a bit stiff and rough until it gets broken in. If you're looking for a slim-cut shirt on a budget, you can't go wrong with the Uniqlo Oxford Slim Shirt. The fabric is sturdy (but a little tough), and the value is unbeatable. Drapey, flattering, and super soft, this sweater is half the price of our (already well-priced) value cashmere sweater pick. It pills fairly easily, and we have questions about its longevity, but it's still a terrific bargain. Simple yet stylish sweaters can be hard to find, but we've done the research for you. Affordable cashmere sweaters do exist. The $50 price tag of the Quince Mongolian Cashmere Crewneck Sweater makes it a sweater worth considering. It's ultra-soft, flattering, and surprisingly high-quality, though it's not heirloom material. This 100% cotton sweater is slightly oversize and heavy, yet it's especially breathable, so it's virtually seasonless. Style writer Hannah Frye spent years hunting for the perfect rollneck sweater before she found a winner in the 1988 Rollneck Cotton Sweater. It works for nearly any season or occasion, and its slightly oversize fit allows for layering, creating more styling opportunities. These well-made, versatile straight-leg jeans are comfy, booty-flattering, and nicely priced. They come in a wide range of sizes and three inseams, but in plus sizes the wash and length options are more limited. An American classic, these jeans have a long, slim-straight shape that never gets old. Plus, they're sturdy and comfy, and they come in lots of sizes — though finding the right fit can take some trial and error. Levi's straight-leg jeans got a lot of love from the panelists in our testing for our guide to women's jeans. The Levi's Premium Wedgie Straight Fit Women's Jeans earned the highest score in testing because we found them comfy and flattering across a wide range of body types. The 501 Original Fit jeans also tested exceptionally well with our panelists. Plus, for just under $100 a pair, these durable jeans are more than fairly priced. These jeans have a long, lean '90s cut, and they come in three inseams. They're not as high-quality as our other picks, but they're priced right, and they go on sale often. The slim, curve-hugging Gap High Rise '90s Straight Jeans look and feel great, even though their construction isn't as high-quality as what we've seen on some of our other recommendations. But they cost less than $100 and are often on sale, so they're one of our most budget-friendly picks. Thanks to their ultra-high rise and floor-grazing length (they come in three inseams), these wide-leg jeans are dramatic and visually elongating. They're an exceptional value, too. Just note that they run a bit large in the waist and are likely to stretch. If you like a wider-leg jean, we also have a Levi's recommendation for that. Enter the Levi's Premium Ribcage Wide Leg Women's Jeans. It comes in three inseams, so it should work for a variety of heights, and it's made of the same, durable material as our other Levi's Premium picks. Made from soft, midweight 100% cotton denim that feels broken in from day one, these high-rise jeans have a subtle, flattering horseshoe shape that's on trend without being over the top. Unlike most barrel-leg styles, this pair comes in three inseams, so you can nail the just-right length. $90 from Gap (price varies by color) If you're interested in the barrel jeans trend, editor Ingela Ratledge Amundson recommends the deliciously soft Gap High Rise Barrel Jeans. For Ingela, they have a forgiving fit and a not-too-exaggerated barrel shape, so they're her perfect pair. These barely tapered straight-leg jeans have a fit that's easy but not baggy, and they come in five inseams. Made from 100% cotton selvedge denim that's soft and easy to care for, this pair is a comfortable choice whether you're mowing the lawn or hitting the town. Not too slim and not too wide, these gently tapered jeans have a just-right straight leg that's flattering and versatile. They contain a bit of stretch, so they're super comfy, but they are also prone to stretching out. $138 from Madewell (price varies by color) For a roomy straight-leg look in a classic, beloved men's denim cut, we recommend opting for the relaxed Levi's Premium 505 Regular Fit Selvedge Jeans or the straight Madewell Slim Jeans. These two picks did well across the board with our testers, and they're two of our more affordable recommendations from our guide to the best men's jeans. For $50, these slim-fit straight leg jeans are absurdly great. They're lightweight and made with a bit of stretch, so they're not as tough to break in as traditional raw selvedge denims. But the material does feel a bit slick. These jeans have remained largely unchanged over the past 50 years, and they have several thoughtful, unique design details. $30 from Walmart May be out of stock If you really want a bargain pair of jeans, we have those, too. In our guide we recommend the Uniqlo Stretch Selvedge Slim Jeans, which are unusually comfy for selvedge jeans and have an appealing straight-leg cut. We also recommend the Wrangler Cowboy Cut Jeans, which have a unique straight-leg cut that fits over boots but are not bootcut jeans. These roomy pants cut a different figure than most men's pants and can be easily dressed up or down across seasons. Jeans are tried-and-true. But maybe they seem a little tired to you, especially if you're going for a more preppy look. In that case, we recommend writer Evan Dent's favorite pants: the Giant-fit Chino Pant. These wider-cut pants look refreshingly clean and relaxed, rather than comically large. They're breathable, they break in over time, and they have big pockets. The least expensive of our picks, these iconic canvas low-tops go with everything, and they look cool whether they're worn in or squeaky-clean. But they may not offer enough support for everyone, and they tend to make feet look longer. $60 from Amazon (price varies by size) The least expensive of our picks, these iconic canvas high-tops go with everything, and they look cool whether they're worn in or squeaky-clean. But they may not offer enough support for everyone, and they tend to make feet look longer. $60 from Amazon (price varies by size) For a timelessly cool back-to-school look, it's hard to beat a classic pair of Chuck Taylors — especially when they're crisp and clean on your first day. Whether you get them in white or another color, low-top or high-top, these shoes work with just about any look. They may not offer ample support, and they tend to visually elongate feet, but we love these shoes anyway. These tried-and-true leather shoes have a storied history, both on the court and on the street. They're heavier than most sneakers, but they're also comfortable, and they make a statement. $115 from Urban Outfitters These tried-and-true leather shoes have a storied history, both on the court and on the street. They're heavier than most sneakers, but they're also comfortable, and they make a statement. The iconic Nike Air Force 1 sneakers are well-known for their chunky, confident profile and their ultra-bright white leather. The AF1s are big and bold, with extra-cushy padding inside, and they can last years with some extra care. These well-priced leather tennis shoes serve up loads of old-school style. Their lightweight foam padding and delightful terry lining make them comfy for casual wear, but they don't offer much arch support, and they might be too narrow for some feet. The Reebok Club C 85 Vintage Shoes may not be as iconic or as bright-white as AF1s, but they're another favorite from our guide to the best white sneakers. They're sturdy, light, comfy, and low-profile enough to wear every day. With its padded mesh straps and back panels, this sporty-looking pack makes carrying heavy loads lighter and comfier. It also has the easiest-to-use water-bottle pockets of any bag we've tested, as well as a removable laptop sleeve, but it could use more interior organization. A sleek design and utilitarian features (such as a luggage pass-through and a magnetic top closure) make this sophisticated laptop carrier feel pricier than it is. But unlike our other picks, it isn't backed by a warranty. If you're looking for a backpack that will last well after graduation, we have a few recommendations. You can go sporty with the Patagonia Refugio Daypack 26L, or you can opt for something a bit more chic, like Everlane's The ReNew Transit Backpack. Simplicity is what makes this bag cool, and it comes in a plethora of colors and patterns, whether you're looking to stand out or blend in. It has a roomy laptop sleeve, but you won't find any fancy protection or organizational features inside this pack. This compact, durable laptop backpack is big on nostalgia and aesthetic appeal. But while its straps are lightly padded — a significant upgrade from the original Kånken — it still isn't ideal for carrying extra-heavy loads. All of our picks are great for carrying a laptop alongside your other belongings. Some of our options lack internal organization, which you may see as a positive or a negative, depending on your preferences. The Herschel Classic Backpack XL and the Fjällräven Kånken Laptop have laptop sleeves but otherwise have one big roomy pocket for storing your stuff, while our other picks have more pockets and features. This tough yet polished laptop tote bag is thoughtfully designed, with features such as internal pop-out bottle pockets and leakproof zippers. But its durable fabric shell is abrasive and may cause pilling on some sweaters and blouses. The good-looking, well-made Bellroy Tokyo Tote represents a happy medium for those who want a professional look, without going overboard. This laptop tote is durable and water-resistant, ideal if you need something that can survive scuffs, drops, stains, overpacking, and rainy commutes. This pack of eight matte plastic hair clips includes two styles — a standard curved claw clip and a straight clip with a rectangular cutout — and they are surprisingly durable for the price. The clips hold many hair types well, but some people might find them too large. $8 $7 from Amazon (deal on beige/color multipack) If you have long hair that you need to sweep up and out of your face, we suggest the Tocess 8 Pack Big Hair Claw Clips. Editor Catherine Kast loves them, as do many of our staff members (myself included). They are truly big, and they can hold lots of hair. They're also surprisingly durable and especially cheap, so you likely won't be too upset if you lose one along the way. This article has been edited by Maxine Builder and Hannah Rimm.
