KEEP THE CHANGE

Finding Bargain Summer Fun in the Sun

J

une is the month to get outside before the full heat of summer settles in. Here are some ideas to keep your family enjoying the outdoors.

• Get wet. For inexpensive fun, grab your garden hose or some water guns and run around in the backyard. Alternatively, gather up the family and head to Shawnee Splash – evening hours are discounted and keep you from being in the sun during the high heat of the day. And don’t forget the free Splash Pad at Boy Scout Park.

• Speaking of parks, there are several them around Shawnee – from Dean Weigant at 1741 W. Rosa to Kid’s Space on Center Avenue near the intersection of Wayne Street – that offer a free way to play outside., Check out visitshawnee.com for a full list of parks and try out some you might have missed. If you want to take a day trip, check out nps. gov for a list of National Parks in our state and go explore.

• Go to a dollar store. There you’ll find all sorts of cheap, fun backyard activities, from kites to sidewalk chalk to bubbles. Getting outside with your family doesn’t have to mean going far.

• Check out a festival. Shawnee’s Block Party is the third Friday of every month downtown along Main Street, and summer is just the time for all sorts of festivals around the state.

• Go to the drive-in. The Winchester Drive-In near I-240 and Western in Oklahoma City features new releases at a bargain price along with the feeling of going back in time and enjoying a movie under the stars. Don’t forget a radio to tune into the movie and some lawn chairs and blankets • Grab a snow cone. Shawnee is flush with independently owned stands, and they’re a great choice for a cheap treat to keep you cool.

Next month, I’ll discuss staying cool with indoor summer fun.

NUTRITION 101

Some Diet, Lifestyle Habits Can Affect Fertility

B

ased on an article in the Food and Nutrition Journal, approximately six percent of married women in the United States up to 44 years old are unable to get pregnant after one year of trying. About 12 percent of all women have difficulty getting pregnant or carrying a pregnancy to term.

Infertility can affect men and women. In about 35 percent of couples with infertility, male and female related factors are involved. The causes of infertility vary, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Fertility researchers have relied on data from the Nurses’ Health Study II that began in 1989.

Researchers found that a high fertility diet or an eating style that promotes fertility consisted of: • Low intake of trans fat and greater intake of monounsaturated fat.

• Greater plant protein consumption and lower animal protein consumption.

• Greater consumption of complex, high-fiber carbohydrates.

• Consumption of full-fat dairy products rather than low-fat dairy foods.

• Greater consumption of non-heme iron foods from plant sources.

A healthy body mass index is optimal. Being underweight or overweight both showed to have effects. The goal for activity is 150 to 300 minutes of moderate intensity activity per week with two days of strength training. It is recommended to abstain from smoking, alcohol and drug use.

Female patients should consume no more than 200 mg of caffeine per day.

There is still ongoing research needed to further identify the roles of nutrition and lifestyle habits.

Your OB-GYN can refer you to a registered dietitian to get more guidance. For a good source of fat, try the tuna steak recipe below.

Tuna Steaks You are not going to believe how quick this is to make and how good it is. It was even husband approved; husband-approved fish that isn’t fried is hard to do. Have a veggie and a starch ready to go for an all-around balanced meal.

Ingredients: 3 ahi tuna steaks 1 teaspoon salt ½ tsp cayenne pepper

½ Tbsp unsalted butter 1 ½ Tbsp olive oil 1 tsp whole peppercorns

Directions: Season the tuna steaks with the salt and cayenne pepper, patting the seasonings into the patties. Melt the butter with the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the peppercorns with the butter mixture until they soften and pop, about five minutes. Gently place the seasoned tuna in the skillet and cook to desired doneness, three minutes per side for medium rare.

Makes: 3 servings, 1 tuna steak each Nutritional information per serving Calories: 195 Total Fat: 10g Saturated Fat: 2g Cholesterol: 54mg Sodium: 815mg Total Carbs: 0g Dietary Fiber: 0g Protein: 25.5g Nutrition 101: A lot of people say they would eat more fish if they knew how to cook it. Well, here you go. I enjoyed this one throughout the week as leftovers as well. It was good leftover on salad and in a wrap. Tuna has so many health benefits, there could be an entire article toward it. Health benefits include its ability to help reduce cardiovascular disease, stimulate growth and development, lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels and assist in weight loss. Tuna also can also aid in boosting the immune system, increase energy, aid in skin care, increase red blood cell count and has anti-cancer properties. It also protects against various kidney diseases, prevents age-related macular degeneration, reduces general inflammation and inhibits cell membrane damage. Whooo!

I told you tuna could have its own article. To get the health benefits of fish, it should be consumed – not fried – two to four times per week.

Healthy, Happy & Shawnee Proud

COMING TOGETHER TO ENHANCE WELL-BEING IN OUR COMMUNITY Residents of Shawnee and the surrounding area are coming together through Blue Zones Project to enhance well-being in our community. We’re shaping our surroundings to make healthy choices easier for all, and the results of our efforts are showing. Neighbors are connecting in new, fun ways such as enjoying plant-based meals together. Worksites are encouraging healthier habits for their employees including biking to work. And local champions are advocating for greater food access, safer streets, and smoke-free environments.

Shawnee pride is rising with each new participant in Blue Zones Project.

Meet three community members who are feeling, and fueling, the transformation.

PROUD TO LIVE IN SHAWNEE Josh Trimble, Director of Development for Oklahoma Baptist University, has lived in Pottawatomie County for nine years. He joined with other community members in leading local Blue Zones Project efforts in part because of its central message—that all could have the resources

to live longer, better with the help of “practical recommendations, a health-conscious environment, and thoughtful encouragement.”

Co-chairman of the Blue Zones Project Worksites Committee, Trimble has been impressed by the number of companies that have adopted Blue Zones principles within their organizations. He’s taken the Blue Zones Personal Pledge® and is energized by the shared commitment emerging across Shawnee to eat wisely, move naturally, connect, and live with purpose.

“One of the many rewards this program has to offer is a pathway to an increased sense of community.

Whether attending an awareness meeting, or while dining at a Blue Zones Project Approved™ restaurant, I have personally encountered people from all walks of life who openly discuss how their health index has been impacted by Blue Zones Project,” Trimble said.

“Blue Zones Project has been successful at bridging the gap between what was once a sensitive intrapersonal concern to what is now a common thread of awareness and knowledge, naturally shared among friends, family, and patrons.”

He encourages all community members to get involved with Blue Zones Project activities and ideas. “All are welcomed, all are appreciated, and all have something to offer.”

PROUD TO WORK IN SHAWNEE As a Program Officer with Avedis Foundation, Audrey Seeliger has had the opportunity to see Blue Zones Project develop in Pottawatomie County “from the ground up.” While the support of Avedis Foundation helped fund the launch of the initiative, local staff and volunteers from across the community have provided the essential drive and energy.

“It’s been very refreshing to see local faces come to the table that might not have had a place in the community in the past. These individuals have risen to the top and are making an impact,” she said.

At work, Seeliger enjoys participating in potluck lunches as part of a healthy eating Moai® and is excited by the support for well-being that’s growing all around her.

“My worksite is a Blue Zones Project Approved worksite.

I shop at local Blue Zones Project Approved grocery stores and eat at local Blue Zones Project Approved restaurants. With the community behind this effort,

we’re offered a continual and visual reminder that making the healthy choice can be the easy choice.”

On a personal note, Seeliger, a 26 year resident of Pottawatomie County, recently completed a course of chemotherapy as part of her cancer treatment. She is a strong believer in the potential of Blue Zones Project to open the door to lasting lifestyle change. “Something as simple as Move Naturally can be your start. It’s not about taking away but about offering opportunities to make it your own,” she said. “Life is a gift. Take it seriously, and make the best of it by starting today.”

PROUD TO PLAY IN SHAWNEE Lynn Pharaoh thinks the Blue Zones Power 9® principles for living a healthier, happier, longer life work exceptionally well together. They collectively encourage healthy eating, natural movement, a positive outlook, and strong social connections. On a personal level, she was motivated by the “Right Tribe” principle to get involved in Blue Zones Project and meet more people.

“I had been so busy focusing on my kids and a new marriage, keeping up with a job and working out, I was really missing that Tribe component,” she said.

“I’m now a part of the Shawnee Rotary Club and ride on the weekends with a biking group called the Fat Bottomed Girls. It’s helped my confidence getting involved and making friends.”

Pharaoh is also involved in a cycling group at Spokelahoma, and she loves spending time with a weekly lunch Moai, a group that has continued to meet after an initial 10-week commitment. “It’s my favorite part of my Thursday! I look forward to it.”

As Assistant Director of Administration at the City of Shawnee Housing Authority and a 34-year resident of the community, she is proud of helping to make her workplace smoke-free and supporting the establishment of the Shawnee Well-Being District.

“Blue Zones Project has taught me that it is possible to eat better, move more, and have healthy social relationships, all while being a busy working mom,” she said. “And the best part is that this isn’t something that’s expensive. You don’t have to join a health club…all things can be done on a budget.”

Flying for a Higher Purpose T

here’s something special that occurs when one person’s talents or hobbies can benefit other people. It might be a singer’s voice, an artisan’s handiwork, a teacher’s instruction method or a poet’s words.

In the case of Harmik DerSahakian, his talents and hobbies involve aviation, and he’s found a way to help others in the process.

To call Harmik a Shawnee resident isn’t completely accurate. He does live here but only parttime. As the co-owner of United Dynamics, a local government contractor specializing in the design and manufacture of military aircraft equipment, his business keeps him here. His family calls Porter Ranch, California home, however, so he splits his time between the two. Despite a busy life in both places, he’s active in civic and community events and enjoys working with charitable causes.

At a young age, Harmik decided that aviation was his thing.

“I’ve always been interested in airplanes,” he said. “I guess it is part of my DNA. “My mom has kept all of my drawings from the time I was in kindergarten, and the majority of them are drawings of planes. I’m also an aerospace engineer by education, and I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to work in my field.”

Harmik started flying small aircraft in 1980 while living abroad in London. He continued his training after moving stateside and received his private pilot’s license in 1983. He currently flies a turbo retractable Cessna 182R that’s housed part of the year at Shawnee Regional Airport. He also previously served on the Shawnee Airport Advisory Board for several years and just began a new term in that position.

His love of flight and helping others combined when he became involved with an organization called Angel Flight. Their mission is to assist people in need of free air transportation for medical and humanitarian purposes. They arrange travel through a network of volunteer pilots who fly patients that require specialized medical treatment not available to them locally. Harmik became an Angel Flight pilot in the mid-1990s.

“I fly patients for two different regions, the South Central and the West,” Harmik said. “You get to know a lot of good people and their stories, each one very unique. Some are heartbreaking, and some are very uplifting. I’ve flown a fiveyear-old who was losing his eyes to cancer, and an 80-year-old fighting cancer. The way one is able to make a difference in someone’s life is very special with Angel Flight. The way I look at it, God has blessed me with the art of flying, so what a great way to pay it forward.”

Shireen Pitassi, the mission director at Angel 10

Harmik DerSahakian, right, flies patients for treatment in distant cities from where they in his private plane at no cost through a service called Angel Flight.

Photos submitted

Flight’s South Central office in the DFW area, has worked for the organization for 18 years. She said that there are about 1,200 volunteer pilot members in this region, which is part of Angel Flight’s nationwide network. They believe that no one should be denied critical medical care solely due to the barrier of distance.

Pitassi said the South Central region primarily serves patients in Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, New Mexico and Louisiana. Patients must have medical clearance from their doctors, be ambulatory enough to climb into and out of a small plane and be stable to fly in unpressurized aircraft. Medical personnel do not accompany patients onboard.

“Angel Flight is an organization where pilots donate their time and all flight expenses,“ Harmik said. “There’s no transportation cost for the patients. Some need to fly on a weekly basis for their treatments, so the monetary savings to them is very important.”

Harmik generally knows at least a week in

advance about the flights he’ll be making and said Angel Flight has a very good system of letting pilots know what missions are coming up.

He credits their website with being very welldesigned and organized. When asked how many flights he’s personally made, he said, “my best guesstimate is ‘a lot’. I’ll be making another flight in mid-June.”

He enjoys being able to use his plane and aviation skills for business, family travel and Angel Flight.

There are certain requirements that a pilot must fulfill in order to volunteer. These include a current pilot certificate and medical clearance, at least 250 hours of pilot-in-command time, access to an aircraft as owner or renter, current liability insurance and a desire to make an impact by helping others. Pitassi said that Angel Flight is always looking not only for more pilot volunteers but also for patients that they can assist.

THEY HAD NOTHING TO PAY - Luke 7:42

“And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?”

It was in 1865 on a Sunday morning during a very lengthy prayer that Mrs. Elvina Hall wrote a powerful hymn. As her pastor prayed on, Mrs. Hall began leafing through the hymnbook (a practice not really recommended) and finally came to the back flyleaf. There she began writing in the hymnbook (another practice not really recommended).

SHAWNEE, OKLAHOMA

Matthew 17:20

Somehow we can forgive her, for during the long prayer and on the flyleaf of the songbook THE NEW LUTE OF ZION, she wrote the words of this gospel song: “Jesus Paid It All.” John T. Grape, the organist in Mrs. Hall’s church wrote the music. We are not told what he was doing during the prayer!

Hymns have been written on stagecoaches, trains, ships, deathbeds, battlefields, studies and libraries. The throne of God can be found from any place our journey has taken us. Charles Wesley often wrote while on horseback; And one at least, was written during a long Sunday morning pastoral prayer. Do you wonder if Mrs. Hall told can her pas-be Pictures and Auction List tor the circumstances under which the song was written?

No Price Too High for Good Neighbors

W

hat made you pick the neighborhood you live in?

Was it a great location? The right-size home? Maybe it was a bargain, or the rent was just right?

I suppose there are many reasons a person could choose to live where they do, but sometimes the reason you choose a home is not the same reason that causes you to stay.

I know a young couple that is just starting out. He works. She stays home with the kiddos as a full-time mother.

They recently rented a house in town, and though it was a little tight and a bit over budget, it worked for them.

Soon a new home in a different neighborhood came up for rent. It had more space for the kids and was better for their budget. It seemed like a no-brainer, but one day a block leader knocked on their door to say hello and welcomed them to the neighborhood. This block leader invited them to a block party and told them of all

the wonderful things their neighbors do together like walking groups and movie nights. Soon they met another block leader from a few blocks over who helped them get connected with even more neighbors.

It was a bit overwhelming at first, but these interactions left an impression on this young couple. Even though the home they were in was a little over budget and the other home was a bet-

ter fit for them financially, they chose to stay put. They knew this was a special place to raise a young family and that you can’t put a price tag on good neighbors.

I’ve had great neighbors. I still do.

Hopefully you’ve had the fortune of having great neighbors at some point in your life as well. If you have, then you know the value they bring to your life. They look out for your kiddos. They

keep a close watch over your home when you are out of town. Oftentimes, they will pick your paper up or take care of your trash bin when you are gone. They lend tools. They lend their ears. And somehow this works to help build the kind of place we want to live.

It also inspires us to become the kind of people our community needs us to be. You cannot receive the goodwill of a neighbor and not want to somehow repay that goodness to someone else. This sort of kindness is the salve our neighborhoods need to heal the self-inflicted wounds of hyperindividualism.

We must learn to live for more than ourselves. When we do – when we learn to live our lives with an eye toward our neighbors – we will begin to see our community change into the kind of place that feels like home. The kind of place where we want to plant deep roots – even if it costs us a little extra.

Mabee-Gerrer Camps Keep Kids Creative During Summer Break

By Carolyn Lawrence

S

chool is out for summer, and so begins parents’ search for summer activities that will entertain and stimulate their children’s creativity during the coming months.

The Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art at 1900 W. MacArthur encompasses a unique variety of hands-on art classes during the summer for children of all ages. Taking into consideration skill level as well, the museum provides experienced instructors that support each child’s ability to explore their own creativity.

“All of our instructors are wonderful artists in their own right, and many of them have taught students for years in the arts,” said Amber DuBoise-Shepherd, the museum’s new manager of education and outreach. “Many students have participated in classes here at the museum with these instructors, and I have been told positive things by the former curator of education, Donna Merkt, of how much our students learn as well as have fun creating amazing pieces of art with them.”

The summer programs at Mabee-Gerrer support kids of all ages to be inspired by art and dive 14

into their imagination. Each class is designed with a theme in mind to bring out the innovative side in each student.

Primary Partners offers a sweet, one-day experience for kids ages 3-6 and their adults with three different opportunities from 10:30-11:30 a.m. on June 14, July 2 and July 30. This class will offer an age-appropriate tour, art activity and story. Tuition for each child is $5, and organizers ask that no more than two children per partner age 15 and older attend.

There are also a series of creative arts camps that will run throughout the summer. Each will include a 10 a.m.-12 p.m. session for ages 5-8 and an afternoon session 2-4 p.m. for ages 9-13.

Creative, Creepy, Cool with Alisha Weston is geared towards the “spooky and kooky” in the museum. This includes inspiration from the mummies, shrunken heads, dragons and monsters. This class takes place June 17-21 and is sure to get a hair-raise. pARTy animals with Lynn Pollei will awaken kids’ wild side with a “crazy creature camp.” Children will be able to explore nature in search for

Cuckoo Bird and Dashing T Owner Offers Unique Pieces, Experience for Women

by David Dinsmore

M

icah Barton always preferred boutique shopping.

She liked to find outfits and accessories that were unlike those she saw other people around her wearing. It was not always an easy task growing up in Shawnee, Barton said, because she often had to leave town to shop the kinds of stores that carried what she was seeking. In recent years, however, that has changed as several boutique businesses have opened locally to add to the shopping scene.

“There are definitely more options in town, which I think is awesome for Shawnee,” Barton said.

One of those local boutiques she now can call her own.

Cuckoo Bird and Dashing T – located at 1817 N. Harrison just south of Federal in the back of the parking lot. – opened in November 2017.

Barton named the store after her twins, Maudie (Cuckoo Bird) and Thatcher (Dashing T), who turn 4 years old this month. She 18

www.shawneeoutlook.com

spent 12 years marketing in the healthcare industry before she decided to slow down when she got pregnant.

After taking a year off at home with the kids, she started looking for jobs locally that fit her skill set but had trouble finding a good fit. There were options in Oklahoma City that would have required her to commute, and she did not want to start that routine while her kids were so young.

“I knew that if I didn’t do the store right now while I wasn’t working, then I probably was never going to have the opportunity again,” Barton said.

Micah Barton opened her boutique Cuckoo Bird and Dashing T at 1817 N. Harrison to provide a fun, comfortable environment for local shoppers looking for unique women’s and children’s clothing. After having her twins Maudie and Thatcher – for whom she named the store – she understood the challenge of finding time to shop for kids and herself in a boutique setting.

Photos by David Dinsmore

Offering women and children clothing in the same boutique was important for Barton. As a parent, she understood that sometimes shopping for something cute for the kids to wear often can result in mom not getting the chance to look for something for herself. Even if she does decide to find an outfit for an event or date night, it usually involves a special trip that some women might feel bad about making just for themselves.

“I like the thought of being able to get everything in one place,” Barton said. “Women can come shop for themselves and grab something for the kids and not feel guilty about shopping for themselves.”

She also knew it was important to create an experience where women with children could feel comfortable coming together, so she made sure there were designated play areas with games and activities to occupy the little ones while at the store. This has also come in handy when she wants to spend some time with Maudie and Thatcher while still getting some work done.

One of the main benefits of having several boutiques locally comes from the owners being able to use their own sense of style to create a personal experience, which can help shoppers find an outfit for a variety of occasions from casual to ceremonial, Barton said. Cuckoo Bird and

Dashing T reflects her “dressier” sense of style while incorporating classic and trendy elements, and she also uses feedback and requests to make sure that what’s on her hangers is what’s on the minds of her customers.

Her personal approach as a shopper of trying to land a unique style when it came to what she was wearing has carried over to how she stocks her offerings at Cuckoo Bird and Dashing T. When she goes to market to find pieces for her store, she balances what she knows people have been asking for alongside things she thinks will win the affection of customers if they had a chance to try it. Barton said she also prefers to purchase the selections found in her store in small quantities to ensure one item does not go flooding out of her doors and suddenly three moms show up at a school assembly wearing the same outfit.

She also understands the importance of cost in the local shopping market, so she also puts effort into making sure the price tags on her clothing make as much sense for her customers as the style and quality of the garment.

“We try to find things that make it where our customers can buy nice things and look nice but not have to spend their whole paycheck,” Barton said.

Owning a local shop means more than just

moving merchandise through the door, Barton said. Cuckoo Bird and Dashing T has given her family the chance to form friendships with some of her customers and people in the community.

She has been able to provide services for some of their big moments, and in turn she has been able to share in those moments via wedding invitations and graduation celebrations.

“I love the friendships that we’ve made here,” Barton said. “Getting to see them do life in our clothes and getting to see all of the fun places they get to go, I love that.”

In addition to clothing, Cuckoo Bird and Dashing T also offers a variety of personal care products like lotions and soaps per request from customers, and they also take some custom order requests.

“We try to tailor the store to offer what’s needed and what people say they can’t find other places,” Barton said. “When someone says, ‘This is exactly what I came in looking for,’ and leave completely satisfied with what they found at the store, I love that feeling. I love knowing that we’re able to meet that need in town and that they can stay here.”

The shop posts its new arrivals every Tuesday on its Facebook and Instagram pages.

SHAWNEE HISTORY

Shawnee Added Food, Resources, Manpower to War Effort Leading to D-Day 75 Years Ago

by Ann McDonald, Courtesy Pott Co. Historical Society Member

T

his month marks the 75th anniversary since the Allies invaded Europe on D-Day on June 6, 1944 to begin the defeat of Nazi Germany.

No home in America was untouched by the war, including those in Shawnee. Especially in the first months after Pearl Harbor, military draftees and inductees were given big send-offs, including breakfast at the City Cafe before being marched to the bus station by the American Legion color guard and the high school band.

The City of Shawnee provided each with a carton of cigarettes, a Bible and some postcards.

As the hostilities escalated, Americans at home were called on to buy war bonds, plant victory gardens, use their ration stamps and save everything from grease to metal. Local men and women took jobs at the Shawnee Naval Air Station and Douglas Aircraft adjacent to Tinker Field in Midwest City.

Every inch of ground was turned into vegetable gardens, even on school grounds and along sidewalks. Beans and onions grew in flower gardens.

The government produced special cookbooks to help housewives feed their family without meat, which was scarce as the war continued.

In 1943, 15,000 pints of produce was canned at Shawnee’s Washington School. Sugar was the first item to be rationed since much of it came from the Philippines. Local teachers oversaw administering the ration stamps and handed out the books at school.

Cargo space was limited on ships, so coffee was the next to be rationed.

Housewives learned which ration stamps to use when and for what food items. There were strict rules about how the stamps were to be used.

Gas rationing was likely the best remembered sacrifice at home. Each vehicle was assigned a sticker for their windshield showing the station attendant how much gas was allowed.

An individual’s car wore the “A” for

about four gallons a week. “B” stickers provided about eight gallons per week for business owners and workers in the military industry. “C” stickers featured tabs to indicate roles like professionals like doctors and nurses and essential occupations like farmers, mail carriers, railroad workers or war workers who carpooled, and each received allotted amounts necessary to their duties. Motorcycles received an “M” sticker, and truckers were given a “T” sticker. Certain circumstances requiring high mileage travel were considered for “X” stickers entitling their holders to unlimited quantities, such as police, firefighters and clergy.

Much of the gas rationing was the result of trying to conserve tires as Japanese forces blocked the U.S. from some of its largest suppliers of rubber in Asia. Rubber was needed in the war effort, so tires were impossible to acquire. With gas rationing some chose to put their cars on blocks for the “duration.” To save gas, there was also a Victory Speed of 35 miles per hour.

Across the country and in Shaw-

nee, there were scrap drives for metal and even nylon stockings. The stockings could be made into gun powder bags for the big guns on navy ships. A tire could make 12 gas masks, a shovel equaled four hand grenades, a lawnmower could be turned into six threeinch shells and a radiator could make seventeen .30 caliber rifles.

Scrap metal was worth $18.75 a ton. Shawnee citizens donated everything from tablespoons to car parts.

Old streetcar tracks were pulled up and donated. One hundred tons were collected in the first citywide drive with high school students carting items to the collection point behind the post office.

Each American was first allowed three pairs of shoes per year, which was not a particular hardship in those days, but that dropped to two pairs.

Clothing styles changed, too. To save on material, men’s suit jackets switched to single-breasted, and cuffs on pants were eliminated.

Called “patriotic chic,” women’s skirts were shortened and two-pieced

bathing suits came into style. Some colors disappeared when certain dyes were needed for uniforms. Shawnee High School’s purple and white became blue and white when red dye to make purple became unavailable.

Soft drinks were nearly impossible to find because of the shortage of sugar and a lack of metal for the bottle caps. Chewing gum became scarce because what was available was put in soldiers’ K-Rations.

There was a run of quick marriages as men were on their way to an unknown time in military service. Clyde Hammon, the county’s court clerk, announced he would no longer issue licenses 24 hours a day at his house.

During the night, he was unable to determine if the young couple was of legal age. He said he would continue to issue licenses at his home from the time the courthouse closed until no later than 8 p.m.

In Shawnee, as all over the United States, the standard phrase used from December 1941 to August 1945 sounded: “You know there’s a war on.” www.shawneeoutlook.com

MENTAL HEALTH

Unplugging from Screens Sometimes Necessary to Truly Connect

D

o you have a smartphone? If you said yes, then you are in good company with nearly 2.5 billion other people.

In many ways, these devices make our lives better, simpler, and easier. They have redefined how we navigate our environment, communicate with our friends and colleagues and purchase necessary – and not so necessary – goods and services.

Despite their many benefits, many of us believe that we spend too much time interacting with our smartphones and would like to reduce or be more mindful about our usage. However, certain factors can make “unplugging” more difficult that we think.

Convenience: At one point in time, we had to have an alarm clock to wake us up, a CD player to play our music, a book or magazine to access a tasty recipe and a foldout map to get us where we wanted to go. We were forced to pick up and put down these objects because not one could do it all. These natural breaks made it less likely for us to form a habit around a single device. Today, convenience and dependency often go hand-in-hand.

Peer Pressure: Today, many people carry smartphones in their back pockets or purses, ready to respond. In turn, they can expect us to do the same.

We can come across as difficult, annoying or even a little selfish if we do not answer a group text in a timely manner or wait until Monday to acknowledge a work email.

We may even hesitate to deactivate our Facebook page out of fear that it would be harder for someone to reach us.

The Dopamine Loop: Our body rewards us with the neurochemical, dopamine, every time we seek something out and find it. This hit of pleasure encourages us to repeat the behavior. It is no coincidence that Facebook or Instagram maintain screens that we can scroll through without interruption, coming across new content and feel-good chemicals with every swipe. In the same way, receiving notifications of text messages, emails and sports highlights also triggers a release of dopamine. However, similar to other substances, we can begin to develop a tolerance to these stimuli, needing more to achieve the same affect. At some point, dopamine levels may become depleted, leading to increased feelings of depres-

sion and disconnection. Unfortunately, our answer is often to cope by increasing our usage rather than decreasing it.

Withdrawal Symptoms: Humans are designed to seek pleasure and avoid pain. Although our screen time may be causing us to experience consequences, detoxing from them can prove equally as challenging. Withdrawal-like symptoms may include: • Restlessness • Anger or irritability • Difficulty concentrating • Sleep Problems • Craving access to your smartphone or other device Technology is powerful. Its accessibility, convenience, popularity and intentional impact on our reward pathways make it difficult to “use in moderation,” which can lead to a slow breakdown in our overall well-being. However, by becoming more mindful of our smartphone behaviors and cultivating healthier boundaries around our usage, we can enjoy the benefits of technology while reducing the consequences. The following are suggestions for achieving better balance: • Track it: Many phones will allow you to view your screen time in order to assess where your time and attention is going. As you review this information, ask yourself, “Is this really how I want to be spending my time?” and “What would I rather be doing?”

• Put it away: Why not give into real human connection when we have the opportunity? Turning off or putting away our phones and asking others to do the same can reinforce how valuable we are to one another. Deeply engaging in the present moment with each other stands to both lift and sustain our spirits.

• Turn off notifications: Many of us may suffer from FOMO – or a Fear of Missing Out. No matter how meaningful or exciting our present situation, we believe our phones have the potential to connect us to something “better.” As we have previously learned, this frantic search for dopamine hits will leave us unsatisfied and searching for more. Turning off notifications reduces distractions and increases both our sense of focus and feelings of satisfaction.

“Killing Time”

I have to put away my phone I’m not trying to complain But I never thought this small device Would cause me any pain I used to go unburdened Not giving it a thought But I realize now that it’s changed somehow And I’m on it quite a lot The phone keeps me connected To what I sit and ask To each and every person’s life It’s becoming quite the task I can watch my favorite shows That doesn’t sound so bad The kitchen, car, airplane and bathroom Come on now, that’s just sad I can search out every recipe Endless workouts at my hands But I get sucked in and can’t get out Neglecting all my plans So many pretty faces Flawless bodies to compare I scroll and like, reply and post Then feel like life’s not fair I have to put my phone away Remove it from my sight But I dread that anxious emptiness Okay, that’s just not right I need to move about more freely Allow more space within my brain Sit comfortably with my inner thoughts Before I go insane.

These patterns are God's seal upon your hands

Of My Heart

So you may know beyond all doubt

By Kay Lynne Vance

You are His workmanship from inside out.

The years of time our paths may part But never sever thoughts of my heart.

Yet He chose much greater marks

Different tracks but only one goal,

For His own palms.

To reach our Master who guards our soul.

You see, He wants you to know the depth of His Love

We each must stand and give account.

Have we been washed in His Holy Fount?

Which cannot be measured.

Have we been faithful? Did we obey?

So, He took iron spikes

Have we trusted? Followed His way?

And with them inscribed on His palms

Look Closely

Your life, your soul, your whole being.

By Kay Lynne Vance

Part of my mission, my call, quite clear,

It's not just the tips that are sealed.

With hands open wide

Fingerprint patterns cover your palms.

And His arms outstretched

Is praying for you, drawing you near.

Palms of your hands

Revealing His heart to all the world.

Near to your Savior who loves your soul;

And soles of your feet

And He bears these scars for all eternity!

Who died to ransom and make you whole.

Surely covers what you do

What are we saying?

Though friends be many I meet and love,

And where you go.

What are we giving?

The bond we share is blessed above.

These marks are unique to every man.

Just our whole being

We shall meet again, someday, I know.

The child in the womb comes pre-planned.

Into His keeping.

And our “knowing” be perfect amidst His glow.

E& J’s We are your mechanics.
