Align your left knee directly above your ankle, and keep both feet facing forward. Press firmly into the ball of the back foot, and lift the back heel towards the sky. Keep the back leg straight by lifting the kneecap and quadriceps up towards the sky. Square both hips by gently pulling the left hip back, and pressing the right hip forward.

AREN BAGLEY’S DAUGHTER
Tallie Sachs is making noise and pointing to the kitchen cupboards. It’s 6 p.m., and she’s hungry, but dinner won’t be for a little while yet. “Steve!” she shouts when Karen approaches the cupboards and asks what she wants. Steve? Karen produces a bag of Cheetos. “It’s from the movie "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs." Tallie quotes movie lines a lot,” Karen explains. Daughter Morgan Sachs, 10, comes to the kitchen next and starts to take a carton of ice cream out of the freezer.
“Morgan, no,” Karen says. “We’re eating dinner in just a little while.” Morgan walks away from the kitchen. “Call a spade a spade,” Karen says with a shrug, when questioned why her 8-year-old daughter was allowed to eat chips and the 10-year-old wasn’t allowed to eat ice cream.
Tallie has autism, identified by social awkwardness and speech difficulties. >

< She doesn’t always understand the same consequences as her older sister, or even those of her brother Brock Sachs, who turned 6 on April 30. “Autistic kids don’t always understand night and day,” Karen explains. “Sometimes she will be up in the middle of the night just because she’s up.” The girls both participate in gymnastics. Morgan also does hip-hop dance. They like to play in the backyard on the trampoline. The kids all enjoy their school, Sagewood Elementary in Elkhorn.
Elkhorn is one of the only school districts in the area that has inclusive special education, meaning Tallie spends her school day in a regular classroom. She has an aide who travels with her and there is a special room where she can go if she needs a break. But she’s not secluded from her peers as happens in OPS and other systems.
Six years ago, the divorced mother met high-school friend Dave Bagley online, and three years ago, they married, bringing along Dave’s son Brody Bagley. The couple were very careful about introducing the kids to each other, but they have gotten along well. “I’ve learned a lot of patience,” Dave says. “That’s the honest truth. Life works at its own pace. There’s no script you can follow.”

Following her divorce from husband Jeff Sachs, Karen’s salary from PayPal, where she was working full-time as a team leader, wasn’t covering everything the family needed.
At the same time, Tallie needed a lot of care. A nanny experienced in working with special needs kids was hired during the summers to help. Still, the family couldn’t always make things run smoothly. That’s when Dave said: “If you can do anything, what would you do?” Karen responded that she wanted to operate an online retail space, so the couple launched K. Posh Boutique, an online fashion store.
These days, Karen works from home. Her business launched at the beginning of the year. “I now have the flexibility I needed,” Karen says. “I’m able to focus on issues that come up and respond quicker.” “I see a lot of women that are not happy with certain things in their lives, and I would say don’t be afraid to go after what you want.”

Superheroes ' Slurp! Don’t
TEACHING KIDS TO BECOME MASTERS OF MANNERS
S
PAGHETTI IS A mealtime favorite of many children, but the mess it can cause at the dinner table makes some parents cringe. Add to that the loud chewing and lack of knowing how to start a conversation—it can drive any parent crazy.
By the same token, kids being told what do to all the time drives them crazy.
The campers play the etiquette game, during which they are asked questions about manners at home, when dining out, and on friendship. Questions like, “Do you hold a fork in a right or a left hand when you’re cutting food?” Points are earned for correct answers, and at the end of the week, the kids pick out prizes for the number of points they earned. They create table settings and sidewalk chalk art with superhero themes.
“It’s all about grace and composure without drawing attention to yourself,” Budz says. Budz herself attended cotillion in her home state of Florida and says she enjoys helping others learn these same skills.
“Sometimes it helps to have an outside party to show them them it’s not just mom and dad being strict, these are skills they will need later on,” says parent Amy Baker.
Enter Courteous Kids. Founder Mary Beth Budz began Courteous Kids in 2006 as an affordable way to teach all kids social skills.
Budz says she hopes the campers and their families continue working on their social skills at home.
Although Courteous Kids began as a series of classes held during the school year, three years ago, Budz began a summer camp that enhances the school-year classes.
“I really like that she teaches them the importance of writing hand-written thank you notes,” Baker says. “So often these days we are just caught up in sending texts all the time.”
“They were teaching us how to write letters and they had us actually make letters and she brought in fancy envelopes and papers,” Abby said. “We got to make our own notes. That was pretty fun.
“It was really fun because my parents always told me what to do, but this wasn’t like them just telling you what to do, they do it in sort of a more fun way,” says camper Abby Baker, 12.
This camp isn’t just for the well-heeled. The camp costs $90 and covers everything from how to shake hands effectively to writing thank you notes. The camp week starts with learning to greet one another and the different customs of greeting in various cultures. They hold conversations with other campers and they work on table manners. Campers learn to twirl spaghetti on their forks so they don’t slurp it, and to pass items to the right at the dinner table.
omahamagazine.com
It all culminates in a luncheon on Friday at noon, where the kids eat (what else?) spaghetti and show their parents what they have learned during the week.
“I feel like it was a good learning process.” Abby says. “I don’t want to be an adult and have bad manners and have someone not hire me because of that. It’s also good if I go to a party and I want to introduce someone or myself. I don’t want to do it in the wrong way.”

HIS YEAR, THE Omaha Children’s Museum celebrates 40 years of
bringing joy, education, and imagination to Omaha youth.
The museum has come a long way in 40 years, from starting out in the back of a station wagon to now being one of the biggest children’s museums in the world. The museum has seen major renovations, countless exhibits, and hundreds of thousands of children. Last year the museum set an annual record for attendance at 302,000.
Executive Director Lindy Hoyer says the Omaha Children’s Museum offers a safe space for children to learn and grow.
“That time [at the museum], where kids are engaging and exploring in different types of activity is developing them as a whole person,” Hoyer says. Hoyer’s fervor for the museum is matched only by her love for education, and making children the best they can be. She would love to formally claim that bringing children to the museum guarantees they turn out to be geniuses, but nonetheless she will not. “I don’t know that we can be so bold as to say that, but I wholeheartedly believe they are going to become better people, and as successful as they are destined to be by utilizing what we have to offer here,” Hoyer says. Justin Rader is 20 years old now, but when he was younger his grandmother took him to the Omaha Children’s Museum regularly.

“The most memorable experience I had going there was when they had a dinosaur exhibit upstairs,” Rader says. “I was getting to an age where I was a little hesitant on going to the museum, because all the kids there where younger, but all my reservations about the exhibit quickly diminished as I climbed up the stairs—bumping elbows with eager kids older and younger than me.”
Rader may not have been the only young person feeling a little old for a “children’s museum.” According to Hoyer, the museum has noticed their clientele is often a bit older than their intended target audience.
“For many years we have focused on activities for an audience of children who are in the early childhood age,” Hoyer says. “We are seeing more and more that we are serving children much older than that. You’ll probably start to see us adding more things of interest [for the older age group].”
Brooke Criswell, 19, was also a recurring customer at the Omaha Children’s Museum as a youngster. Her mother would take her and just one other friend whenever she could. “I loved seeing all the different exhibits,” Criswell says. “I just remember really having my imagination being broadened, and having a day with my friend.” The Omaha Children’s Museum has been located at 20th Street and St. Mary’s Avenue since 1989. The facility itself is more than 60,000 square feet, which puts it in the top 15 percent of children’s museums worldwide. Even with such a massive space, Hoyer says the museum is bursting at the seams. “We have got some challenges ahead for what we are going to do about supporting the growth we are seeing,” she says. Hoyer says they are considering an expansion of the current building, and potentially even looking at a new site altogether, so that the Omaha Children’s Museum can celebrate another 40 years of bringing joy, education, and imagination to youngsters.

FOOTGOLF GAINS IN POPULARITY
M
AY IS THE perfect season to hit the golf
course. The average high temperatures are in the 70s and the wind tends to stick to no more than a breeze. This would be a good month to introduce your kids to the sport of golf.
Not interested in chasing down small white balls while teaching your young ones how to tee off? A new sport called footgolf is catching on around the U.S. Footgolf started in Europe and came to the U.S. in 2011. Wilderness Ridge Golf Course in Lincoln started offering it in 2014, and in 2015, La Vista Falls Golf Course and Papio Greens Golf Center both started offering the sport. Footgolf is a combination of the popular sports of soccer and golf. The game is played with a regulation soccer ball on shortened holes with 21-inch diameter cups, which sit to the side of the golf holes. The holes are covered when not in use for patrons’ safety.
At La Vista Falls, the nine-hole game has its own tee times of Mondays and Wednesdays, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., and Sundays from 5 p.m. to dark.
Papio Greens has 18 holes built within the 18 hole par 3 course and is designed to be able to play both traditional golf and footgolf simultaneously.
The big advantage of this game is that it does not cost as much money as regular golf. All one needs to play is a group of friends and a regulation soccer ball. Because the game is played on a shortened course with a large ball, players don’t need any special knowledge. They just need to know how to kick the ball towards the hole.
Both courses consulted with the American Foot Golf League to develop their courses and learn the rules of the game.
Dinan says players can wear any regular sneakers to play footgolf, but cleats, either soccer cleats or golf cleats, are not allowed. Players should adhere to the dress codes and rules of the golf clubs at which they choose to play.
“The times we picked are typically times when people are not playing golf,” says manager Denny Dinan.
“We have families that come out and the mom and dad will golf, and the kids will play footgolf at the same time.” Tyson Thomas, general manager of Papio Greens, says.
The rules largely correspond to those of golf. Players tee off by kicking the soccer ball towards the hole. The object of the game is to get the ball to the hole in as few strokes as possible.
Footgolf has its advantages over both soccer and golf. It’s good exercise without requiring lots of running, as in soccer. And it allows people to aim towards a larger hole, which makes the game easier than golf. omahamagazine.com

bestofomaha.com
It takes about an hour and 15 minutes to play a round of footgolf at La Vista Falls.
“Anyone can come out here and play,” says Thomas. “It really is a nice workout. It’s a good thing to come out here and do. It’s good for everyone from young kids to adults. As long as you can kick a ball, you can play.”
