Coeur d’Alene Connection?

Let’s see how sharp you folks are. Can anyone (outside of John Austin) tell me what the connection is between Chicago Cubs all-star Derrek Lee (shown above after hitting a home run agains San Francisco earlier this month) and Coeur d’Alene? In for extra credit, can you tell me what incredible feat he has accomplished on each of his last three birthdays?

DFO: Yes, Jim is Derrek’s stepfather-in-law; now, what feat has Derrek accomplished on birthdays No. 28, 29 and 30?
