elcome to the summer issue of Lincoln Kids! newspaper. I was thinking back to when I first started the paper and someone left me a rather stern phone message concerning the name of our paper. She informed me that a “kid” is a baby goat and not to be confused with a young human child. I’m not sure what her problem was. After all, my intended audience of the paper is, after all, parents with young goats:) It’s summer! Well, almost. There are a couple of changes in this issue you might want to know about. One, we have a new printer, Page 1. They have the ability to print the paper in one single section and can print more color. Yippee! We are very excited about our new capabilites. The other change is that we are losing one of our longest running and most popular contributors, Becky Seth, head naturalist extraor-

Lincoln Kids! dinaire at Pioneers Park Nature Center. Becky is retiring to do more traveling with her husband and I hear one of the places they will be going to is Costa Rica. Talk about a paradise for a naturalist! When I sat down with Becky a short while back I learned that she had originally earned a masters degree in music and taught piano lessons for a number of years. Looking for a change she took a course at the University in native Nebraska plants and fell in love with nature. Pioneers Park Nature Center has a huge emphasis on teaching children about the wonders of nature. I asked Becky why this is important for children. She talked about connections. How we are a part of the earth and its’ many creatures. She stressed the importance of getting out in nature early in life to observe and discover its wonders. She stressed the importance of a child having an older person take their hand and go out to explore the outdoors. She said the first place to start is our own backyard. Learning to value anything “starts with learning to appreciate what we have right in front of us”. We are going to miss Becky but she said we can use her past articles

until the new Naturalist gets up to speed. Thank you Becky. This is a big summer activities and camp issue so look for all the great opportunities out there for your kids. Also, be sure to read Mayor Chris Beutler’s article on what makes Lincoln such a great place for kids and families. This fall we will be bringing back our “When I was a Kid” series where we find out what our mayor did when he was a child. You may also note that we have quite a few health-related articles in this paper. We, as a nation, are reaching a point where the indicators say that we need to start eating better and exercising more. The decisions that we make today come back to us in the future. We owe it to our children to teach them how to be healthy. Which means we, as adults guiding them, need to become knowledgable ourselves.

What is It?

Pioneer’s Park Naturalist, Becky Seth, is holding: (A) a dinosaur tooth that needs a filling or (B) the root of a small prairie flower? The answer is (B). The root held by Becky is the underground water chamber of the Bush Morning Glory, a native Nebraska flower. To survive being stepped on or eaten by Bison, or being scorched by a prairie fire (as shown in the picture), this amazing flower has adapted to its enviroment by creating it’s own “Root Cellar”. Nature is pretty amazing, isn’t it?

Lincoln is Great for Families ...and Getting Even Better! By Mayor Chris Beutler

hear this frequently from parents – “We moved away from Lincoln after college, but we came back to raise our family.” I cannot imagine a better endorsement for the family-friendly environment of our community. And it’s no surprise to Judy and me who raised five children here. I’m excited that the good news about our city is spreading. 24/7 Wall Street, a news website, recently ranked Lincoln as the fifth best U.S. city for raising a family. In 2010, Parents magazine ranked Lincoln the third best city in the nation for babies. The year before, Children’s Health magazine ranked Lincoln as the fourth best place to raise a family. These accolades join a long list of top rankings the City has received in recent years for both our quality of life and our business climate. You don’t have to look too far for reasons, starting with our outstanding educational system. The entire community works together to help our children succeed academically. From the City government perspective, we are very proud of our police and fire services, which keep Lincoln one of the safest cities in the nation. Our excellent parks and extensive trail network keep Lincoln residents on the move. Our park system includes a golf course designed especially for younger golfers, an

The Lincoln Children’s Museum is a great example of how much this community values its children. The museum found space in two downtown locations after its 1989 opening, but in 1998, voters approved a City bond issue and donors contributed millions of dollars to help create a new Mayor Chris Beutler shows ’em how it’s done museum.

The Lincoln Children’s Zoo has been a family favorite for more than 50 years and has earned some high rankings of its own. It was one of only two children’s zoos named to Parents magazine’s top 25 zoos for kids. In March, the zoo was featured on an NBC Nightly News feature on National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore’s biodiversi“FlyingTiger” ty project. The Lincoln man has by Daniel You, age 6, photographed many of the zoo’s Maxey Elementary animals as he raises awareness of School, 1st grader endangered species.

Don’t forget the movie theaters, bowling alleys, arcades and kidfriendly restaurants and shops. There’s so much to do, Lincoln even has it’s own newspaper to help us out – and you’re reading it right now. One more national ranking from 2011 sums up life for Lincoln families – according to Gallup, we live in the “secondhappiest city in the country.” And we’re on our way to becoming number one!

Family-Friendly Community Arts Afternoon at the LUX! by Aileen Wiles, Interim Education Director, LUX Center for the Arts

s a teacher at LUX Center for the Arts, I have had the chance to meet several people from the community. It is exciting to watch students learn new skills and gain confidence as they practice techniques alongside new friends. The community has helped to provide scholarships for several students who otherwise wouldn’t have the opportunity to take an art class. As our way of giving back to those that support us and to welcome in those that have yet to experience what we offer at the LUX, we are hosting a community event. This summer, as a great way to kick off the season, enjoy some family fun at the LUX Center for the Arts’ biggest community event

Page 6 • lincolnkidsinc.com

of the year: Community Arts Afternoon. On Sunday, June 10th from 1-4pm, the LUX Center will host our annual family-friendly day of hands-on art activities, live music and demonstrations. This event is free and open to the public. This is a great opportunity to enjoy the weather while creating hands-on art projects with your loved ones. Activities will be spread throughout our two-story building and parking lot. Community Arts Afternoon is an afternoon for you to explore your passion for the arts! Youth and adults alike will enjoy playing with clay to create ceramic sculptures or marbling paper to display. Kids will have fun leaving their mark on the LUX by adding to a collaborative outdoor mural or tie-dying t-shirts (bring your own t-shirts or purchase one for $5 during the event). Back by

popular demand is the music of local musician Chris Sayre. Space is provided for those that want to sit and relax or get up and dance along. For extra fun, get your face painted by local artists or create a button featuring your own masterpiece. After making your art, be sure to take a look in our galleries or support our scholarship program for low-income youth by purchasing a ceramic tumbler made by

LUX artists and volunteers. This event shouldn’t be missed in Lincoln! Stop by and see what the LUX Center is all about at our Community Arts Afternoon on Sunday, June 10th from 1-4pm. LUX Center for the Arts is located in historic University Place at 2601 N. 28th Street at the corner of 48th & Baldwin in north Lincoln. Free parking!

H.U.G.S. Grief Camp The 13th annual one-day grief camp will be held on Saturday, June 16, 2012, from 9AM-3:30PM at the Lincoln Children’s Zoo, 1222 S. 27th Street. This special camp, for children and teens, age 5-13, and their families (it is recommended that at least one family member attend), focuses on helping families through the grieving process, assisting youth with understanding more about the ‘Circle of Life’, giving participates the opportunity to express themselves and their feelings, and to teach each of them that having a variety of emotions and feelings, whether it is happy or sad throughout the day, is natural.

Make it the Best Summer Ever Yet! Attend a Summer Camp at Lincoln Children’s Museum by Miss Emily Nash, Education Manager, Lincoln Children’s Museum

t’s time for summer vacation, and that means three months of making memories. Every one of us can look back to our brief weeks away from school and remember them as being never ending…Forever…The endless summer. A precious part of being a kid is making memories during our summer breaks. Even now, as adults we can recall the BEST summer ever, easily. It usually involves friends, fun, new experiences, and a trip or two. That is what I love about the summer camp program at Lincoln Children’s Museum; it ties all the pieces of a great summer up into one awesome camp experience. With this in mind, I have coordinated a summer chalk full of topics that range from cooking to space.

It includes art shows and ice cream cones, light sabers and directorial debuts. There will be friendships forged and laughter will fill the Museum as campers discover–and parents remember–what a great summer sounds, looks and feels like. There are unique relationships that only come from camp. At camp, you see friends who might not go to your school or live on your side of town, and therefore you may never have an opportunity to meet or see those friends during the school year. Plus, camp leaders who offer varying experiences, knowledge and teaching styles lead Museum campers on fantastic adventures. At Lincoln Children’s Museum, our campers come from all different backgrounds and represent the entire city of Lincoln, so the perspectives and ideas broaden the

experiences of all those who participate in Museum camps. Staff who are students at higher education institutions from all around Lincoln join us during the summer to share and hone teaching skills. They share their energy and passion for discovery with each of our campers. The perspectives offered by each camper and staff help enrich the moments we spend together. Summer Camp at Lincoln Children’s Museum is a wonderful opportunity to make great friends, explore diversity through discovery and see what “the best summer ever” is really about. I can’t wait for Summer Camp. I look forward

to seeing familiar faces of campers I know, and to meeting the new friends I know I will make at Lincoln Children’s Museum. If you or your child want to be part of the BEST summer ever, register for our camps at LincolnChildrensMuseum.org or call us at (402) 477-4000. We offer one-week, full-day camps for elementary students, ages 6-10 years old and half-day camps for preschool age children, three-five years old. We have 10 extraordinary camp options in store for summer 2012, but they fill up quickly, so register your little campers today!

Junior League Celebrates 90 years in Lincoln by Getting Kids Healthy by Clover Frederick, Community VP, Junior League of Lincoln

hen Dr. Karla Lester started noticing that more and more children were facing adult health issues due to obesity, she quit her pediatric practice to start an advocacy nonprofit called Teach a Kid to Fish. Just as teaching a man to fish can feed him for a lifetime, teaching a kid to eat healthy and stay active will give him a lifetime of wellness. But Dr. Lester can’t do it all on her own. She’ll need volunteers

and that is where the Junior League comes to the rescue! For 90 years, the Junior League of Lincoln has volunteers in so many capacities serving children. From conducting well child checks in the 1940s to helping to start the Lincoln Children’s Museum, the women of The League have taken on hundreds of projects that have made Lincoln a better place to live. The Junior League has partnered with Teach a Kid to Fish for the past two years, helping to incorporate their message of

Teach a Kid to Fish, Reducing Childhood Obesity by Rick Helweg, Director of Research and Communications, Teach a Kid to Fish

each a Kid to Fish is a Lincolnbased organization whose mission is to prevent and reduce childhood obesity by empowering Lincoln children and families to eat healthy and be active. Teach a Kid to Fish envisions creating community solutions for children’s health. The organization is dedicated to addressing the childhood obesity epidemic through utilization of the collaborative advantage. Teach a Kid to Fish is the only organization in Lincoln that is committed to uniting organizations and community members to focus on a shared mission. It is also committed to implementing measurable solutions that prevent and reduce childhood obesity among Lincoln children. Currently there are a number of programs running in the community that are aimed at getting kids and families more active and healthy. One is NAP SACC, which is a research-tested intervention designed to enhance policies, practices, and environments in child care through the following ways: improving the nutritional quality of food served, amount and quality of physical activity, staff-child interactions, and facility nutrition and physical activity policies and practices and

related environmental characteristics. Another is Little Voices for Healthy Choices provides NAP SACC trainings, incorporating environmental policies and integrate 5-4-3-2-1 Go! healthy living messages and resources at five childcare centers in Lincoln. The 5-4-3-2-1 Go! message contains recommendations for children to promote a healthy lifestyle: 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day 4 servings of water a day 3 servings of low-fat dairy a day 2 or less hours of screen time a day 1 or more hours of physical activity a day

Teach a Kid to Fish is supported in this project through the generous assistance of the Junior League of Lincoln and has recently partnered with the Nebraska Sports Council for a community walk/run to be held on Saturday, July 21st in conjunction with the 28th Annual Cornhusker State Games, July 20 - 29. The ENERGY Walk/Run will include a 5K run, a 10K and a 2K Family walk in the Fallbrook neighborhood of Lincoln. To register for the ENERGY Walk or Run, go to

healthy eating and physical activity into children’s lives. In this past school year, League members have worked with high school students in a working group planning fun activities for their peers. Additionally, the Junior League has partnered with Matt Talbot Kitchen & Outreach on their Kids Café project. Members work with elementary children and their parents from the neighborhood to learn healthy recipes. Junior League’s new members took on a similar project at Park Middle School working with the Boys & Girls Club Cooking Club. Youth in one of Lincoln’s most diverse and underserved neighborhoods learned to prepare healthy meals while having fun with their peers in a safe place after school.

The League also takes on Done in a Day projects. These short term projects provide fun options for members to give back. This spring, the League will help Prescott Elementary with their Walk-A-Thon and will help with the Girls On the Run 5k. The Junior League is currently planning its volunteer projects for the 2012-13 year which begins in September. Members of the League include women over the age of 21. The majority of members are young professional women. Many others are stay-at-home moms or community volunteers. Interested in being a part of this amazing group of women giving back to the community? Learn more at www.JLL.org or contact clover@nmn-online.org for membership information.

That’s Disgusting! by Becky Seth, Naturalist, Pioneers Park Nature Center

ulture vomit, dung beetle balls, slimy fungus, spittle bug spit. Sounds pretty disgusting, doesn’t it? To some that makes these critters all the more interesting, but to those who might say ‘YUCK!’ I hope to change your minds to ‘WOW!’ The vultures are back after their winter trip south. They eat rotting flesh. Before you say ‘that’s disgusting!’, think about a world in which dead things just stayed around. We owe a lot of thanks to the earth’s clean-up crew! But, back to vultures. They have an image problem. It is true they roost in groups and it can be pretty messy where they hang out. It is true that their bare red head is less than gorgeous, but it’s a great adaptation for eating carrion. That bare head avoids potential health problems caused by blood and guts getting trapped in feathers. Their large nostrils, open slits on the side of their beak, are not exactly attractive either, but vultures are one of the few birds with a welldeveloped sense of smell. That helps them find their food. It is also true that vultures have a couple habits that seem pretty repulsive to us. They throw up their dinner when feeling threatened, an effective tool since it smells terrible. They also spray their watery waste on their legs and feet, a way

to help them stay cool. OK, you might say, what is NOT yucky about a vulture? Have you seen vultures soaring in the sky with their wings held in a ‘V’? It is a beautiful sight. And just think how amazing it is that they can eat dead stuff without getting sick. Come to the Nature Center and look at our exhibit vultures up close – it’s worth the effort to become acquainted with them. Do you know what dung is? It is also called feces, poop or scat – the waste that all animals produce. Believe it or not, this is what some beetles use as food for themselves or their young. Not exactly what I’d want to eat, but we should be awfully grateful to this part of the clean-up crew. They bury lots of poop and so reduce the numbers of flies and other insects that can make us sick, they add nutrients to the soil and serve as food for all sorts of other animals. Dung beetles can bury a half ton of poop per acre every year – that’s a lot of clean up! Some of these beetles just eat the dung right where it is but many of them dig a burrow using their head and forelegs and push dung into it so they can eat in peace. They don’t want anyone stealing their dinner! A few kinds actually form dung into a ball and roll it a good distance before burying it. They can be very particular

about the size and weight of their ball – and work away until it is perfectly round. Dung beetles not only eat the dung themselves but also use buried stashes as a nursery. They push a bunch or a ball into a burrow and then lay an egg inside. When the larva hatches it has all the food it needs right there. Have you found stuff growing from the ground, or on wood? Sometimes its slimy, sometimes it’s not; sometimes it looks like a mushroom, sometimes more like a blob. You’re probably seeing a fungus. Fungi cannot produce their own food as plants can. Most absorb nutrients from their environment. Some feed on dead and decaying material. Some are parasites, feeding on living plants and animals without killing them. Some ‘infect’ plant roots and help them absorb nutrients making them grow better, others are plant diseases. There are more than 100,000 species of fungi and they can be very different. The mushroom you eat is a fungus but so is athlete’s foot. The yeast that helps bread rise is a fungus but so is the mold that grows on food that you’ve left in the refrigerator too long. As you walk in the woods, especially after we’ve had a rain, look out for fungus. Some are downright beautiful! Have you noticed something that looks like spit on plants? That was made by one of the 23,000 kinds of spittlebugs. These tiny

young critters (they are the nymphs, not adults) can whip up a froth by moving their bodies and then sending it out the end of their abdomens. They cover themselves with ‘spit’ using their hind legs. Can you guess why they’d do such a thing? If you thought it was to protect themselves against predators and the cold or heat as well as keep themselves from drying out, you’d be right! These little insects live on plant sap as youngsters and adults, but rarely hurt the plant. Next time you see a plant with spit on it, try to find the bug – I bet you can’t! These are just some of the ‘disgusting’ parts of the natural world. One week of the Nature Center’s Wilderness Nature Camp this summer will be devoted to them. If that doesn’t interest you, we have several other themes during the six weeks of camp – from Puddles and Ponds to Survival of the Fittest; from How Does Your Garden Grow? to Xtreme Action Camp. Check it out, it’s not too late to sign up. We’ll also be having our popular Animal Antics drop-in program on many Wednesdays again this summer, as well as other programs like Froggy Went aHuntin’ and Family Nature Night. Go online to our website at: parks.lincoln.ne.gov/naturecenter or call 402-441-7895 for more information. Or even better, just come on out! The Nature Center is free and open every day.

How Health Coaching Can Reduce Your Family Stress Level by Summer Brackhan

aising a family is one of the most important jobs in the world! Unfortunately for many people it has become very stressful. Parents are feeling overwhelmed trying to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;supermanâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;superwomanâ&#x20AC;? as they try to balance work, school, finances, etc. while raising their kids. At the same time, rates of ADD, ADHD and Autism are rising. According to a recent CDC report one in six children have a type of development disability which can include ADD and ADHD and one out of 88 children are on the (autism) spectrum. Acid reflux and food allergies are also increasing. Bottom line, our kids need us more than ever. Many parents who are feeling overwhelmed are looking for ways to help their kids. They

might be frustrated that their childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behavior is not improving, not realizing that the food their child just ate at lunch might be aggravating the behavior issue. When you look at connecting food, lifestyle and behavior it all starts to make sense. By utilizing health coaching and exploring how your diet, lifestyle and behavior impacts your health as a family, you can bring more balance back into your life. You will also learn how to navigate the sometimes confusing world of dietary health. Through health coaching you can also discover your strengths as individuals and how to utilize your strengths to create more moments of joy, especially in families experiencing extra stress due to behavior and/or food sensitivities. A health coaching program can help you reach your goals of liv-

ing with less stress easily. It is not about what you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do, it is about what you can do. You can lead a healthy, happy life! Here are three small changes that can create big, lasting impacts for your family. 1. Twice a week go on a family walk. Getting outside not only gives your lungs fresh air, it provides your family with time to talk without interruptions. 2. Try one new fresh food each week. Go to the grocery store and let your kids pick a new fruit or vegetable for that week. Let food be your adventure. Through this simple activity your child can learn how to take a â&#x20AC;&#x153;riskâ&#x20AC;? with something new. 3. Provide clear expectations. Let your child know what you expect from them regarding their behavior. For example, â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the table I expect you to be able to sit the entire time you are eating. I know with practice you will be able to do this.â&#x20AC;? Beginning this June, Nourishing Souls will be launching a health coaching program entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;6 Months To A Happier, Healthier Youâ&#x20AC;? (and Family!). The program embraces your goals for health and what a happy, healthy family means to you. Along with

this program there will be monthly healthy food activities where you can learn how to make healthy snacks your kids will love as well as guest speakers on health related subjects. Nourishing Souls health coaching also includes the opportunity to approach behavior issues with the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Building Life Skills Through Musicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; program. This is a unique way to work with a child on life skills such a focus, concentration, goal setting, task accomplishment, and confidence through music. Music is known to be a creative and safe outlet for children to grow and express themselves. The non-confrontational way of approaching behavior through music produces dramatic results for many children who have difficulty managing their behavior. For more information regarding health coaching and how it can help your family live with more joy and less stress visit www.NourishingSouls.com or call Summer Brackhan at 402261-3599. Mention this article to receive a free in person 30 minute Health History Consultation. All sessions are confidential and tailored directly to your needs and goals as a family.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Okay for Baby to be Hungry anywhereâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;Ś drawing by Karissa Vieth

by Ann Seacrest, RN, IBCLC, Executive Director, MilkWorks, Lincolnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Community Breastfeeding Center

hile medical experts encourage moms to breastfeed, many moms will tell you it is not always easy. Breastfeeding requires learning many new skills. How to position baby comfortably? How to know baby is getting enough milk? Where to get help if mom needs help? If other family mem-

bers (especially parents and inlaws) did not breastfeed, moms often have to pave the way and do something â&#x20AC;&#x153;differentâ&#x20AC;? than everyone else. If a mom is returning to work or school, she must figure out a pumping schedule and make sure to take sufficient breaks to maintain her milk supply. Then comes the tough part. Babies like to be fed and they tend to be less patient than the rest of us. What happens if baby decides to be hungry and mom is eating dinner in a restaurant? Or enjoying an afternoon at a city park? Or watching a baseball game? Does

she head to the bathroom and hope it might have a chair so she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to nurse in a toilet stall? Does she head to her car? Or does she just nurse right where she is and risk that someone will give her a dirty look, or, possibly ask her to leave? Senator Annette Dubas of Fullerton has made it a tiny bit easier for Nebraska mothers. Last year she prioritized a legislative bill that protects breastfeeding mothers in the state of Nebraska. The new law quite simply states that mothers have the right to breastfeed their babies anyplace

they have a legal right to be. Slowly, but surely, thanks to leaders like Senator Dubas, we are creating an environment that allows mothers to make choices they want to make. If medical experts encourage mothers to breastfeed because of wide spread benefits for all of us, we need to make it a bit less difficult. Thank you, Senator Dubas, for making that happen. MilkWorks is a non-profit organization. Their mission is â&#x20AC;&#x153;creating a healthier community by helping mothers breastfeed their babies.â&#x20AC;?

Prenatal Chiropractic Care and Your Baby by Tiffany Leonida, DC CACCP

regnancy and birth need our respect – not intervention. Chiropractic is a natural approach to life and health that respects the body’s innate ability to heal itself. More and more mothers are discovering the many benefits of chiropractic care throughout pregnancy as they gain trust in their own body’s ability to accomplish the amazing feat of birth!

Comfort for Mom Chiropractic care is an essential choice in your prenatal care. Preexisting unnoticed imbalances in your spine become stressed during pregnancy. Compound these imbalances with the rapid growth of the baby and your body may lose its ability to adapt to the changes. A large percentage of women go through their pregnancies thinking that nothing can be done to alleviate their back pain, when in all actuality, pregnancy should not be painful at all. Chiropractic adjustment can eliminate and even prevent these common discomforts experienced with pregnancy.

Tooth Decay on the Rise Among 2-3 Year Olds by Brent Jonson, DDS, Pediatric Dentistry, PC

he most common chronic childhood disease is “dental caries” – the disease process that causes tooth decay, also known as “cavities”. As recently as 2005, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that tooth decay, or “cavities”, are on the rise in the United States among two-five year-old children. Almost one out of two children will have tooth decay before they start kindergarten! And unfortunately for a small perPage 14 • lincolnkidsinc.com

centage of children, untreated tooth decay results in pain, difficulty eating, and restricted growth. So how can you minimize your child’s risk of tooth decay? First, brush your child’s teeth

for them, beginning with the eruption of the first tooth. You will need to either supervise your child’s toothbrushing or brush for your child until almost 10 years of age, depending on your child’s skill level. Second, establish healthy diet and snacking behaviors (keep “sweets” to mealtimes and don’t allow foods and drinks after bedtime). Added sugars are unhealthy for your child’s overall health, and result in frequent acid attacks that cause holes in teeth! Third, use a fluoride toothpaste with your child once they are two years of age, starting with a small

“pea-size” amount of fluoride toothpaste that is safe to swallow. And as always, regular visits to your dentist are important and can allow your dentist to detect any problems early, and provide reinforcement of the above behaviors and habits with your child. Tooth Decay is, unfortunately, common and is occurring more frequently in young children today compared to twenty years ago. However, many times these “cavities” are preventable with the correct oral hygiene habits, healthy diet and snacking routines, and the proper use of fluoride.

Today’s Kids to Have Shorter Lives by Bob Rauner, M.D., Director Partnership for a Healthy Lincoln

ou may have heard that health experts are worried the current generation of kids will be the first generation to have shorter lives than their parents. What do they mean and why is this being said? The source of this concern is the trend of increasing obesity and decreasing fitness in school children. Back in the 1970s, around 5% of children were considered be obese. The most recent stats show that over 18% of school age children are considered to be obese. In addition, our children are much less active than they should be. Most experts say children should get around 12,000 steps a day measured by a pedometer, but the average is closer to 7,000.

Lincoln Public Schools and Partnership for a Healthy Lincoln started tracking similar statistics for Lincoln school children two years ago and have found similar trends for Lincoln kids. Around 12-13% of our Kindergarten and 1st grade children are obese. By 5th grade, more than 20% are obese. Added to that, about one in three can’t pass a basic aerobic fitness test. Most of these obese and unfit kids will remain this way into adulthood and are likely to develop diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease – some before they even finish their schooling! As a result, these children are likely to have a life expectancy 10-20 years shorter than their peers. This will have a large impact on average life expectancy and is the reason behind the assertion that this generation will have an average life expectancy shorter than their parents.

Why Me?

So what’s the solution? The first thing is to understand that there is more than one cause. It’s not just parents letting their kids drink too much pop or spend too much time in front of a screen. It’s not just the schools cutting PE classes to make more time for math or choosing less expensive processed food to save money on school lunches. It’s not just the beverage and fast food industry’s relentless marketing of unhealthy foods and beverages to our kids. It’s all of the above, and all must

be addressed to reverse the trend. We need to switch from blaming the other guy and focusing on what each of us can control. Parents need to quit buying sodas for their kids and letting them spend hours in front of the television, schools need to make physical education a priority again and change the food environment at school, and the beverage and food industry needs to be more accountable for their behavior.

Summer Reading at Your Local Library by Vicki Wood, Youth Services Supervisor/ Lincoln City Libraries, Bennett Martin Public Library

ooking at the New York Times Best Sellers list for Children’s Chapter Books, one notices a curious assortment of books. Otherworldly fantasies propelled by magic and, sometimes malice, alongside stories exploring the stark, almost cruel, realities of normal human lives. Two books feature brave young protagonists; one facing a deadly disease, The Fault in Our Stars by John Green and the other a lifealtering deformity, Wonder by R.J. Palacio, that has always set him outside the world of his peers. The other spaces are occupied by books featuring characters in conflict with the forces of good and evil, in settings outside of our known world: The Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan, Seeds of

Rebellion by Brandon Mull, and Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver. These very popular books are available in many formats from Lincoln City Libraries: print form, downloadable audio, book on compact disc and some in e-book formats. Some have long waiting lists, so as summer approaches, I’d like to draw attention to a plethora of other noteworthy novels for young readers that deserve attention. All of these books received

starred reviews from journals dedicated to directing librarians, parents and teachers to the finest in literature for young people. Pie by Sarah Weeks, the awardwinning author of So B. It, features Alice, whose beloved Aunt Polly, the pie queen of Ipswitch, passes away unexpectedly. Alice is grieving, but eager to find the secret of her aunt’s infamous pie crust and engages several of townsfolk in her quest. The 1940s setting adds a quaint nostalgia to the text and the pie recipes at the end of each chapter enhance a novel full of heart. Appropriate for ages nine through twelve or as a read aloud for younger children. Alvin Ho: Allergic to Dead Bodies, Funerals, and Other Fatal Circumstances by Lenore Look, continues the series of slightly neurotic second grader Alvin Ho, who is facing his first brush with death when he offers to attend the funeral of his grandfather’s best friend. Look keeps the narrative light with added bits of humor without discounting the fear any young child feels when confronted by death. Lincoln City Libraries own all four of the Alvin Ho books, some in e-book format. A bit longer than a traditional beginning chapter book, humorous line drawings break up the text, making this series readable for ages eight through ten. Elise is entering middle school and experiencing all the angst that this transition engenders. In Eight Keys, by Suzanne LaFleur, she is aided in her difficult journey after discovering a key that opens a set of eight doors in a barn behind her house, each containing something she needs, thoughtfully left by her deceased parents who died when she was very young. This novel will resonate with those thinking about or entering their middle school years. The master fantasy author, Eva Ibbotson’s, The Ogre of Oglefort brings a large dollop of humor to a tried and true “boy saves

princess” story. Young orphan Ivo, joins forces with a troll, a wizard and a witch, to rescue a princess from a dreadful ogre, but what they discover turns the traditional story upside-down. Readers in the upper elementary grades will enjoy this delightful fantasy. In Down the Mysterly River by Bill Willingham, young Max has no clue how he ended up in the middle of a forest with an equally baffled assortment of animal companions, a cat, a badger and a bear. Together they bond to escape danger in the form of the ruthless Blue Cutters and find their way to safety on the other side of the Mysterly river. This imaginative adventure employs many common plot elements such as danger, magic and a seemingly impossible quest. However, the friendship among the characters stands out as an added plot bonus. Great reading for those 10-14 years old. Time travel is the central element in Kate Saunders, Beswitched as a pampered, modern, 12-year-old is transported back in time to live the life of a 1935 schoolgirl in a strict British boarding school. Despite a difficult adjustment to a world without electronics, or hot running water, Flora bonds with her roommates and finds much to enjoy in her new surroundings, as well as an appreciation of the comforts and privileges of her former life.

Youth Actor‘s Academy of Lincoln by Leah Arington Grair Artistic Coordinator, Youth Actor’s Academy of Lincoln

t seems that the “Broadway” dream is a popular one these days. Children are getting the bug for performing early on and are craving quality instruction in all facets of musical theatre. Through training in voice, acting, and dancing, young performers are earning exciting opportunities in children’s theatre organizations like Youth Actor’s Academy of Lincoln (YAAL). Though high level training is a priority at YAAL, our mission is fueled by the less “dramatic” effects of children’s theatre that stay with them throughout their lives regardless of their career choice or life goals. The obvious benefits your child will see as a result of participating in children’s theatre are increased self-confidence, improved com-

Some Children’s Theatre benefits are less “DRAMATIC” than others.

munication skills, and stronger selfexpression. These are just the beginning! Did you know that students who participate in musical theatre programs benefit in less “dramatic” ways too? Theatre fosters teamwork and the ability to work through challenges to achieve a goal. This is an extremely valuable asset in life. Performers also learn to absorb and accept critique, which is a fundamental life skill – whether on stage or off. Additionally, students with theatrical training gain valuable life perspective, which helps them remain positive through some of life’s most difficult challenges.

Requiring students to follow a process, a timeline, use self-discipline, and learn to accept direction and feedback, theatre is a training ground for careers in education, law, business, politics, broadcasting, and so much more. Studies show that employers prefer to hire those with theatrical experience. Dr. Louis E. Catron, Professor of Theatre at College of William and Mary, attributes this to characteristics common to those with theatrical background. Often people with a theatrical background are great problem solvers, highly motivated, dependable with a goal-oriented work ethic, and have respect for colleagues and authority. Theatre students learn to be adaptable, learn quickly and accurately, have respect for deadlines, work well under pressure, have a positive self-image, and are generally fun to be around! Furthermore, the performing arts have life-long benefits

offering young people avenues to explore their artistic potential and express themselves. It is understandable that parents are sometimes reluctant to encourage aspirations in the performing arts field – especially in this economy! There is a fine line between supporting your child’s goal and supporting a “starving artist”. However, there is good news.... Supporting your aspiring performer at a young age will be well timed as the skills they learn will help them grow as they face important decisions like college and careers. In fact, in a recent research study at the University of Kansas, KU researcher Christopher Johnson concluded that music programs boost standardized test scores. I encourage all parents to nurture these interests early on as you will get a whole lot more than you bargained for. This juice is definitely worth the squeeze!

Film crews visited the Zoo to film world renowned nature photographer, Joel Sartore. Sartore, a Lincoln native, is working on the Biodiversity Project which he created to photograph endangered species. Nearly 10 million viewers received an inside look at Sartore’s work and Lincoln Children’s Zoo. For 47 years, new additions, new construction, and new awareness at Lincoln Children’s Zoo have been, more than just creating something new. They have been about creating memories and firsthand experiences for all who visit. “We exist to create memories by bringing families and our community closer to nature,” Chapo said.

You Need to Hear This by Ben Sparks, Public Information Officer, Nebraska Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing

id you know that one out of four young adults graduating high school will have measureable hearing loss? The United States Department of Health estimates that 8.6% of all Americans have a hearing loss. That would translate into 158,000 Nebraskans with a measureable hearing loss, almost enough to fill the Husker stadium twice. The Nebraska Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, NCDHH, is your state agency tasked to provide advocacy, communication access and information to enhance awareness and services for improving the quality of life for all who experience hearing loss.

NCDHH has helped to improve the lives of many Nebraskans through various programs and services. Some of the most popular are: our presentations on hearing loss and deafness; the Nebraska Specialized Telecommunications Equipment Program, NSTEP, which distributes free specialized telephones to Nebraskans with hearing losses; and our cooperative effort with the Lions and Sertoma clubs of Nebraska to refurbish and distribute hearing aids. NCDHH Field Representatives are trained and knowledgeable of the various facets of hearing loss and how it can impact the lives of Nebraskans of any age. As advo-

Taking the Fizzle Out of Pop by Mark Martin

ot long ago I was at Walgreens picking up my diabetic supplies. I overheard a woman ask her husband, “Honey, would you like some soda pop? Want me to grab you some?” In a low disgruntled voice he responded, “Yes... I do, and NO, please don’t. I’m trying to stop drinking that junk.” I know what he meant. I’ve done the research and I know pop is not good for me, yet I crave it. I used to be a huge pop drinker. While working on an issue of this newspaper it was not uncommon for me to down a couple of liter bottles of cola each day. Once when I decided to go cold turkey off Mountain Dew for two weeks, I suffered my first migraine headache as my body withdrew from all that caffeine. Here’s a few interesting facts about our American love affair with cola: Soda Pop accounts for more than a quarter of all drinks consumed in the U.S. In 2000, yearly sales reached 15 billion gallons. That is one 12-ounce can per day for every man, woman and child. Soda pop provides more added sugar in a typical toddler’s diet than cookies, candies and ice cream combined. Fiftysix percent of 8 year olds drink soft

drinks every day and a third of teenage boys drink at least three cans every day. One can of sugared soda pop per day can add around fifteen pounds of yearly weight gain. (Mountain Dew has 17 grams of sugar and 170 calories) I have friends who lost 15-30 pounds over a several month period by just going off the sodas. So what affect on health does drinking pop have? How about obesity, tooth decay, caffeine dependence and weakened bones. The human body is healthy when it is slightly alkaline. Soda is so acidic that the body actually robs minerals in the bones to balance out this acid. Thus, bone loss. And when you are sick your body is acidic. I’m going to ask you to do a little research. Next time you are at the computer Google: Danger Soda. Information for this article came from the site: The Amazing Statistics and Dangers of Soda Pop, but there are many, many other sites. I wonder if I hadn’t been such a big soda drinker, even diet, if perhaps I might have avoided being diabetic and suffering from severe osteoporosis. As far as I am concerned, pop is not just harmless flavored water. Check this out for yourselves.

cates, NCDHH can help foster an understanding between employer and employee, healthcare facility and patient, schools and parents and students, and family members. NCDHH is also home to Nebraska’s largest resource library on the topic of deafness, hearing loss and sign language. We have a wide variety of DVDs and books covering subjects like sign language, ASL poetry, hearing aids and Deaf history. The current Executive Director, Dr. Peter Seiler, a retired educator

and school administrator of 40 years, brings a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm to help break down the communication barriers and enhance awareness of the needs and rights of those who have hearing losses. If you, a family member or friend have questions about hearing loss or deafness, we encourage you to check out our website at www.ncdhh.ne.gov or contact NCDHH at (800) 545-6244 or by email at ncdhh@nebraska.gov.
