Editor’s Note On a warm spring morning, almost 25 years ago, I stood in line to get on Body theCopy school bus for a field trip. Every kid in my class was chatting excitedly.

A field trip is synonymous with not having to learn, or be lectured to, or study, or suffer quietly through “quiet time.” For 8-year-old me, this field trip also represented an escape from fractions.

(For those who don’t know me yet, math is NOT my favorite thing.)

My class and several other classes from the elementary school hopped on the buses and giggled excitedly throughout the 30-minute journey to Armand Bayou Nature Center just south of Houston.

A center for education, preservation and stewardship of the Armand Bayou wetlands and forests, the nature center was and still is a child’s wonderland. There were lizards and armadillos; a bobcat prowling in a nearby cage; owls that stared at passersby with giant black eyes.

During the field trip, the classes went out into the bayou itself, traversing trails and catching glimpses of a few alligators. A volunteer pointed out a family of turtles on a log out in the marshes. We helped clean up any trash left behind and made sure that our friends and classmates stayed on the trail.

And along the way, the volunteer guide began asking us questions.

What is a bayou? What do owls do at night? How does a gecko breathe under water? How much water does an alligator drink each day?

And before any of us knew it, we were learning.

On the following pages, U Magazine takes a deeper look into the inspirational world of outdoor classrooms like those offered at Armand Bayou Nature Center all those years ago. Local groups such as the Deschutes Land Trust, Camp Tamarack and RAD Camps open the door to the natural world around us.

After all, opening one door can lead to thousands of memories.

Classrooms Without Walls Outdoor school is in the midst of a resurgence in Central Oregon, teaching and encouraging youth to respect the natural world around them.

by Susan Stafford, for The Bulletin Special Projects / photos by Kevin Prieto

Growing up with apple trees to climb, dogs and cats as constant companions, and a wooded playground behind our house, nature was my teacher. Damming a stream, building forts in the underbrush and creating imaginary worlds filled hours of playtime.

Riding my bike for miles broadened my horizons while providing healthy exercise.

The woods are gone, replaced by houses. The two-lane roads have become speedways clogged with traffic. And nowadays, my parents would be concerned for my safety, keeping me out of the woods, off my bike and away from strangers. Author Richard Louv in “Last Child in the Woods� cautions that the new landscape of childhood includes the emergence of what he calls nature-deficit disorder.

U Magazine | July 2014 | 5

Despite being surrounded by mountains, ponderosa forests, snowfed rivers and lakes and the high desert, many Central Oregon children are disconnected from the natural world around them. Between parents’ work schedules and safety concerns to lists of extracurricular activities and the lure of electronics, days often pass without any time spent exploring nature.

Outdoor School (ODS), one of the antidotes to nature-deficit disorder, is a residential outdoor school program in which students experience life in a camp setting for multiple days and nights, providing an ideal environment for learning, personal growth and connecting with nature.

A concept that has been around in one form or another since 1930, ODS started in Oregon in the spring of 1958, with a pilot project launched in the Crook County School District.

Thirty-two sixth-grade students from Crook County Elementary School spent five days at Camp Tamarack located in the Cascades near Suttle Lake.

Other programs enjoyed wide acceptance in Central Oregon starting in the 1960s, but fell on hard times with the educational budget cuts in the 1990s.

There is renewed interest in ODS as more concern develops over our children’s nature deficit.

Bend-La Pine Schools has allotted $50,000 in next year’s school budget for experiential education, which includes Outdoor School.

Support for ODS is growing as a variety of organizations who believe in the importance of children being out in nature provide financial support, including Carly’s Kids, the Gray Family Foundation and Friends of Outdoor School. In the Oregon Legislature, a house bill (HB 2516), also known as Outdoor School for Everyone, if passed, will provide funding for every Oregon fifth- or sixth-grade student to attend Outdoor School.

Last year, Ray Price, a fifth-grade teacher at Juniper Elementary 6 | U Magazine | July 2014

“This is the best camp I’ve ever been to. I just want to come here every day” Kids enjoy the water during a RAD Camp outing at Parish Lake.

School in Bend, took his students to Camp Tamarack to get them out of the classroom and into Mother Nature’s laboratory, where their abstract learning was reinforced with concrete experience. They were not memorizing information for a test.

Rather, their hands-on, intimate contact with nature became a part of them.

“Without having to do anything, placing students out in nature puts them in a place of wonder and awe.”

Price extolls the value of having students learn “outside of the bell schedule.”

Experiences in nature change students in ways that standardized tests can’t measure. New friends, traditions, campfire songs and skits provide students with some of the most enduring memories and life lessons.

“Without a doubt, you can’t educate the whole child without tapping into their creative, natural rhythms,” Price added.

Students succeed in conquering inner fears, such as one of Price’s students who wanted to be changed into a different small group because there was “no one I’m going to get along with” in his group. He was encouraged to give it a try and during the closing ceremony, when students

pass a candle and share a fear they overcame or a joy they didn’t expect, the student admitted, “I’m so glad I stuck with it. I would have missed all this. I manned up.”

Charlie Anderson, owner and director of Camp Tamarack, which offers ODS sessions in the fall and spring, believes there are many benefits to the ODS experience, from cooperative learning to practical problem-solving.

Teamwork skills are also needed as the kids conduct field studies. And succeeding at new challenges such as canoeing and archery helps develop

self-esteem.

When students study flora, fauna and fire and the impact humans have on those things, they begin to understand the relationship between people and the environment and the importance of sustainability.

ODS encourages children to become involved in nature-based activities such as stream restoration, litter cleanup and tree planting, activities offered for children by organizations such as the Upper Deschutes Watershed Council and Trout Unlimited. But it also fosters a deeper respect for the power of imagination.

“If between the ages of 7 and 12 children don’t get positive outdoor experiences, their chances of becoming outdoor enthusiasts as adults decline drastically,” said Adam Sather, director of RAD Camps, which offers kids unstructured, supervised free play outdoors throughout Central Oregon.

Sather has translated a lifetime of outdoor experience into a business, providing “guided discovery” through adventures, where kids explore, hike, swim, fish, play and soak up nature.

The camps teach valuable lessons without the kids even realizing they are learning about themselves and their world. They catch snakes and

frogs and learn to return the wild creatures to their homes. They are free to play, explore and use their imagination, while learning the importance of leaving no trace.

Sather’s passion is evident as he describes RAD Camps and how he “cares about every single kid.”

And the campers love what he offers.

“This is the best camp I’ve ever been to.

I just want to come here every day,” one camper exclaimed.

Central Oregon is rich with organizations that offer a multitude of opportunities for children to get outdoors into nature. The Deschutes Land Trust offers walks on their preserves for children and their families to experience birds and butterflies and water wonders. Children who might not otherwise have the opportunity to explore nature are taken on hikes by the local chapter of the Sierra Club.

The Deschutes Children’s Forest, a local network of 17 Central Oregon places and programs, collaborates for the benefit of all youths’ healthy minds and bodies as well as healthy forests.

At their Kansas Street location in Bend,

The Environmental Center has a Learning Garden where children plant, tend and harvest crops while learning about composting and growing organic. They take kids on field trips to the landfill and waste management treatment plants as well as the local watershed to demonstrate the importance of sustainability and conservation.

People love Oregon for its scenic beauty, the environment and their connection to the land. With the resurgence of ODS, local children are given opportunities to play and learn in nature so that they, too, will grow up to understand and appreciate the importance of the natural systems that sustain us.

Being out in the woods helps kids understand their relationship to the natural world and what healthy looks like — for themselves, the environment, their community and the world.

Price related the story of a fifth-grade girl who, upon completing a water study during Outdoor School at Camp Tamarack, said, “Now I know what healthy water’s supposed to look like.”

Adam Sather leads the kids back through an old-growth forest, while teaching them about leaving no trace.

With warmth and a smile

by Bridget McGinn, for The Bulletin Special Projects / photos by Kevin Prieto

Michele Anderson balances work, family and a love of kids and nature at Camp Tamarack The first time Charlie Anderson saw his future wife, Michele, he was impressed with the air of serenity that surrounded her.

She was the new girl from Texas who had recently moved to their northern California town, and he was smitten.

“I was sitting in the library and saw this girl walk by and just the way she carried herself — she had so much grace and confidence,” said Charlie. “I told a friend of mine that someday I was going to marry her.”

His first impression of Michele is true to 8 | U Magazine | July 2014

the way she presents herself to the world, even as she juggles the demands of being a wife, mother, businesswoman and active community member.

“She has so many moving parts in her life, but she manages to get everything done with grace,” said Jill Jackson, a longtime close family friend. “Family is always first, friends are a close second and then there are all those other things like having a job and helping to run a camp … somehow she just does all seamlessly.”

Michele has been married to Charlie for 16 years, and she is the mother of Will, 13 and Emma, 12. Her background is in the corporate world as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), and she is currently a broker with Duke Warner Realty. Michele has served on the boards of various children’s organizations, and volunteers in the classroom and with the PTA. She and Charlie recently purchased Camp Tamarack, a nonprofit outdoor school for youth located 15 miles northwest of Sisters.

“I hear kids say all the time that being out here has had a big impact on them,” said Michele.

“I would love to get all our kids in the community here to learn about and experience nature so that they can be good stewards of it in the future.”

Michele serves as secretary on the Camp Tamarack board of directors, and her husband is the camp director. With the support of friends, family and the community, the couple has jumped wholeheartedly into growing the once defunct camp into a vibrant organization dedicated to providing outdoor opportunities for all the children of Central Oregon.

“Michele has been the person behind the scenes making all of this happen,” said Charlie. “She has had the big picture idea in

mind all along — that every fifthgrade student in the region could come to Camp Tamarack and that it would be a place for our community to be proud of.”

Michele’s corporate and CPA background was invaluable in securing the camp and in creating the nonprofit structure for the organization.

“There is a real yin and yang to creating any successful venture,” she said. “I’m the bean counter.”

Collaborating well with others is a strong theme in her life. Several years ago, she and good friend Jacquie Sebulsky joined together as brokers to form a successful partnership. The two got their licenses on the same day, and Michele’s financial background paired with Jacquie’s design and staging skills have made a good team.

“People said we were crazy to do it,” said Michele. “But we got used to working really hard for every dollar and that work ethic has really stayed with us.”

“What most people don’t realize about Michele is how hard she works to take care of everything and still be there for everyone,”

said Jacquie. “And she does it all with warmth and a smile. She makes it look easy.”

When the Andersons decided to purchase Camp Tamarack, it represented a huge change for the family. Charlie had been an elementary school teacher for 15 years, a career he loved. But the family felt the calling to create outdoor opportunities for youth.

“When we decided to do this, I took a year’s leave from teaching and Michele’s been the one working to support our family,” said Charlie. “She was willing to take the risk. She’s always wanted to do things not only for our kids but for all the kids in the community.”

Michele has long been interested in children’s issues, even more so after her own children were born.

“I believe that when kids have adults involved in their lives, helping to shape their experiences and opportunities, the better off we will all be,” she said.

Her commitment to youth and the community has already made an impact on those closest to her.

“My mom is always really kind to others,” said Emma. “I want to be like her when I grow up. She has a big heart.”

For the Anderson family, the revitalization of Camp Tamarack has been a team endeavor. The family has always enjoyed spending time together outdoors, and joined by friends and extended family they have embraced the opportunity to bring the camp back to life.

Emma and Will, inspired by the vision their mother could see in the then run-down environment, pitched in to help paint, repair and clean. They also attend camp. “(My mother’s) a person who is always there for you,” said Will.

“She’s a good person and a good parent. I want to be a great parent to my kids just like her.”

For their mom, helping and giving back to others gives her the greatest joy.

“It makes my heart feel full to be out here with the kids at camp, and I know it has an impact on them. My own kids are part of this, too. They are campers just like every other kid. And really when we are here, they are all my kids.”

CARING FOR OTHERS

We Need to Talk: Family Meetings and Eldercare

There are many concerns families face when it comes to elder care planning. Making decisions about the health and welfare of aging parents is difficult. And, getting family members to agree on aging parents and eldercare is one of the biggest challenges facing families trying to decide what is best for their parents. Having an eldercare meeting is a way for family members to support one another and discuss options and solutions.

The time to plan a family meeting is before a loved one has a crisis that requires immediate attention. Increasing forgetfulness, difficulties managing money or missed medications are all signs a family meeting may be in order. A good way to begin is by having

a meeting in which all family members attend in person, by conference call or “Skype” where everyone has an opportunity to share ideas and feelings openly.

Regardless of how you feel about your extended family members, it is imperative that everyone be involved in the meetings.

Following are some suggestions for planning a productive meeting: • Create an agenda and stay on task. Ask family members ahead of time to suggest items to be included for discussion.

If possible email a copy of the agenda to all family members before the meeting • Stay focused on the purpose, such as helping your loved one maintain living independently as long as possible or planning for a move to assisted living. Try to stay on topic and reach agreement on each item before you move onto the next topic. Otherwise, the

Nancy Webre, BS, MS CEO/Owner, Geriatric Care Manager

meeting will end with no resolutions or “plan” to move forward.

• Consider having an objective third party facilitate the meeting (e.g. a social worker, care manager or mediator).

A facilitator can remain impartial and can help the family discuss difficult subjects while keeping the meeting focused.

• Depending upon the situation, the decision of whether to include your loved one may be based on how you feel they may respond to the topic of their future care needs.

Some persons may want to be involved and others may be upset about any discussions about their changing needs. Their input may be drastically different than your perspective. If they are included, ask your loved one what issues they feel they are facing. They need to feel part of the solution. Remember that your loved one still has the right to make their own decisions, unless dementia or incompetence is an issue.

• Give everyone time to talk.

Make it clear each person should treat others with respect. No interrupting or shouting. Agree on ground rules. Each family has its own history and there will be differences. The function of the meeting is not to fix the family but to have everyone included in the care team.

• Wrap up the meeting with everyone clearly understanding what decisions you’ve made as a group and who will be responsible for the next steps. Agree on what should be discussed at the next meeting and schedule the next date and time to meet before concluding.

The goal of a family meeting is to create a plan of action to work together as a team in the best interests of your aging loved ones.

A family meeting may not solve every problem but it may it may help to mitigate some dilemmas and could be a step in the right direction. A productive, positive family meeting will not only help you make good decisions but will also create stronger bonds that will support your family through challenging times ahead.

faithful

advocate As a school administrator, Lora Nordquist works tirelessly to include outdoor education for all students.

by Tara LaVelle, for The Bulletin Special Projects photos by Kari Mauser

Lora Nordquist, assistant superindentent for Bend-La Pine Schools, was instrumental in the long-term planning for Deschutes Children’s Forest program.

Under a canopy of stars on a warm summer night, her bare feet dangling off a swimming dock, a young Lora Nordquist experienced a moment of peace and tranquility unique to the solitude of nature.

“I felt safe,” she recalled, “like I belonged there.”

It was during those years as a young Girl Scout that Nordquist’s lifelong love of the outdoors was ignited. It became a driving force behind her advocacy for keeping nature and outdoor education experiences alive in the public school system.

U Magazine | July 2014 | 11

Lora Nordquist is currently the assistant superintendent for BendLa Pine Schools. She was a high school English teacher in rural Virginia, Seaside, and Sisters for a total of 22 years, and served as Sisters Middle School principal for six years.

In her post as an administrator with Bend-La-Pine Schools, she was instrumental in the long-term vision and planning stages of the Deschutes Children’s Forest, a fairly new program dedicated to getting kids outside, active and connected with nature.

“Lora has been incredibly supportive of Deschutes Children’s Forest and is a huge advocate of the benefits of outdoor learning for students and teachers,” said Katie Chipko, coordinator for the Deschutes Children’s Forest.

Bend-La Pine Schools is a formal partner of the Deschutes Children’s Forest collaborative.

Chipko credits Nordquist for making this partnership “come to life,” by advocating districtwide for the importance of outdoor programs.

Last fall, Nordquist also worked closely with the staff at Camp Tamarack and teachers within the school district to develop effective outdoor school curriculum and help balance the workload of outdoor camp between teachers and camp staff.

“In my previous experience with outdoor school in the Sisters School District, we had a wonderful team of teachers that spearheaded the outdoor camp every year,” said Nordquist.

“But they were responsible for everything: fundraising, planning the curriculum, organizing the food, training counselors.

Teachers were volunteering their time. It took an amazing amount of energy and sometimes discouraged participation.”

With a curriculum in place specifically for outdoor school 12 | U Magazine | July 2014

excursions, experienced camp staff take over teaching lessons in the field and handle meals and logistics.

“Now teachers have supervisory responsibilities, but that’s it,” said Nordquist. This spring was the first year that almost every fifthgrader in Bend-La Pine Schools attended outdoor school at Camp Tamarack.

“For this program to be sustainable, it’s going to take the support of the district and community,” said Charlie Anderson, director and owner of Camp Tamarack. “Lora saw the value in the camp experience.”

When it came to budgeting for the year, Nordquist presented to the school board the value and importance of outdoor learning and why every student should be given the opportunity to participate. With support from District Superintendent Ron Wilkinson, Bend La-Pine Schools ultimately set aside an annual budget of $50,000 for experiential education.

The money earmarked for experiential, or “hands-on” learning, is not locked in to just outdoor school, Nordquist said. It could be used for some other kind of field study or experience, such as a trip to a fish hatchery or a day hike.

Nordquist grew up in a military family, frequently moving across the U.S. and attended 10 schools in 12 years of public education.

“Moving around like that is tough. I’ve always had high levels of empathy for kids who don’t fit in 100 percent because I know what it’s like to be an outsider,” she said.

Having experienced being the “new kid” many times over, and seeing first hand how an overnight camp can soften social barriers, Nordquist believes taking the classroom outside isn’t always about the nature aspect.

“There is the nature side and then there is the community side (of camp),” she said.

“Nature restores the soul. If we don’t encourage that, we aren’t educating the whole child.”

When kids share tents or cabins with other kids they don’t know very well, often they end up making new friends. As a large group, they eat “family style” meals together and share in the cleanup tasks as a team.

“Sometime over the course of camp, they build communities,” she said.

Nordquist attended an outdoor school last month and watched as several students, who had never had that kind of experience before, embraced the traditions and protocols that go along with an organized group camp.

“Their behavior was exemplary in every respect,” she said.

All students helped clean up and participated around the camp fire, and Nordquist said one student was so affected by the feeling of unity and eating meals as one big family that she asked her teacher, “Why can’t we do that everyday at school?”

Although Central Oregon is a nature lover’s playground, Nordquist said there are a lot of kids who don’t get very far from suburbia and don’t get the experience of a canoe ride or studying bugs near a river.

“Many factors can play into that,” Nordquist said, “Oftentimes, it’s a matter of money for low -income families. That’s why the funding is so important to me. We will not leave a kid behind, even if I have to

write the check myself.”

Nordquist’s advocacy and love of nature extends beyond her professional career and is a central focus in her own family. She is a committed runner and says she will run year round in almost any kind of weather.

“It has to be horrible conditions for me to go to the gym to run.

I will run with Yaktrax and a headlamp if I have to,” she said.

Her husband John, a home designer, is an ardent lover of the outdoors as well and together they stay active cross-country skiing, day hiking and backpacking.

“He taught me to downhill and cross-country ski. He planned all the camping trips and hikes and bought me my first backpack,” she said.

This month marks their 28th wedding anniversary. She has two grown children, son Evan, who lives in Los Angeles and a daughter Kate who was recently hired as a teacher for Bend-La Pine Schools.

Nordquist will continue to promote nature experiences for Central Oregon students and programs that get kids outside and active.

“We are educating thriving citizens, and in order to do that we need to focus on the mind, body and spirit. Nature restores the soul. If we don’t encourage that, we aren’t educating the whole child.”

TO YOUR HEALTH

Urinary incontinence, defined as the involuntary loss of urine, affects 25 million American adults.

Fear and embarrassment about your bladder problems can isolate you from work, friends and family. Dancing at your daughter’s wedding or taking a long trip might cause you stress and anxiety. Some people will limit their activities to avoid a situation that might result in leakage, and their embarrassment makes them feel that they can’t talk to anyone about this. Many people even feel uncomfortable discussing it with their doctor. Individuals will struggle with incontinence for 6 years on average before they bring it up with their physician. On the other end of the spectrum, some people feel that incontinence is a

Fixing the Leak normal part of the aging process.

Although incontinence is a common problem, it is not a normal part of aging, nor is it something you just have to live with.

Although all incontinence results in wetness, there are various types of incontinence. Stress incontinence is leakage that is associated with physical activity such as coughing, sneezing, laughing or exercising. With urge incontinence, one will feel a strong urge to urinate that they can’t hold back. This is sometimes associated with overactive bladder where an individual must urinate very frequently and often cannot delay a trip to the bathroom once the urge strikes. Other forms of incontinence include overflow incontinence, neurogenic incontinence,

and asensate incontinence.

When you see your doctor, he or she will begin by asking you a lot of questions about your bladder habits as well as what factors might

precipitate a leakage episode. You should also share your dietary habits, since the type and amount of fluids that you consume can directly impact your urinary pattern.

By understanding what type of incontinence you might have, your doctor will be able to recommend appropriate treatment options that can be tailored to your specific issues. Doctors hope to diminish the social stigma associated with incontinence and to open a dialog between patients and their physicians. Once people can discuss a problem, we can take steps to solve it. If incontinence is keeping you from doing the activities that you enjoy talk to your doctor or the specialists at Bend Urology to discuss your options.

His plan is hijacked by disorganized bartender Rosie’s desire to find her biological father.

Simsion’s debut novel focuses on both the humor and significance of what makes us human. The couples in the Redmond Book Group thoroughly enjoyed the book and found it interesting hearing what the men thought of Rosie and the women thought of Don. They also explored the myriad ways people demonstrate their feelings for one another, since there is no one correct way.

“The Roots of the Olive Tree”

by Courtney Miller Santo

“Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher”

by Timothy Egan

Bend Bookies

Read, Wine and Bleu

Deep ancestral roots are mirrored in the roots of the trees in the California olive grove that is home to five generations of Keller women. The matriarch, Anna, is 112 years old and is intent on setting the Guinness World Record as the oldest living human. A geneticist, who wants to study the family’s unusual longevity, threatens to expose family secrets known only to Anna’s 90-year-old daughter, Bets. In her debut novel, Santo captures the love, secrets, jealousies, forgiveness and disappointments that are all part of what ties families together. The book group thought the storyline was drawn from the five distinct characters and was “definitely not plot driven.” With the theme of age and aging running throughout the story, the Bookies discussion turned in that direction leading to the question, “Is there a point when ‘old’ becomes ‘too old’, even if you’re healthy?”

In the nonfiction category, and not a debut book, popular historian Timothy Egan takes a fascinating look at the early 1900s in the U.S., as he tells the story of photographer (the Shadow Catcher) Edward Curtis’s three decades-long obsession with creating a photographic record of all the Native American tribes before their old ways disappeared. Egan does a masterful job of creating evocative descriptions and emotions providing inspiration, heartbreak, adventure, and awe that bring history alive. Curtis fulfilled his vision, at the cost of everything else in his life, ending up penniless and alone. Among his subjects were Chief Joseph, Geronimo, the Hopi Snake Dancers, native Alaskans and Blackfeet, all preserved in his 20-volume edition, which sold about 300 sets. The RWB group reported, “We now have another field trip on our radar, to the Rare Book Library at the University of Oregon, which houses the Curtis family set of the entire 20 volumes of ‘The North American Indian.’”

Interior Design Styles, Simplified Although there are hundreds of styles to choose from for designing your home, most interior design styles can be neatly grouped into 4 major categories.

wood tables a common feature. Window treatments tend to be gathered, with whimsical hardware in themes like birds or grapes. Upholstered pieces are over-

swags with cascades and long, puddled draperies are representative of the formal style.

Upholstered pieces are pulled tight in rich fabrics like damask, brocade, and silk.

Casual Traditional Formal Modern

We often see a room in a magazine that we like (or don’t like) but we really can’t pinpoint why. There is just something about it that speaks to us. Oftentimes, it’s because of a specific key design element that was used to create the space. Knowing which style’s elements appeal to you most, can help you when shopping for home products, or when working with your designer.

You can “mix” styles brilliantly within the same space. The trick is to choose most of your elements from the same major style, and add to or accent that style with elements from one of the other major categories by having something that ties them all together, such as color or the general era represented.

Here are some key characteristics of the 4 major design styles.

Casual Style

is homey and comfortable. Furnishings tend to be chunky and oversized. Commonplace and welcoming items are used for accessories, such as birdhouses, jars, wooden trays, baskets, and books. Wood finishes on furniture and flooring are mostly light and medium toned, with painted

Formal Traditional

Casual

stuffed, soft, and cozy. Cotton printed fabrics show up in many areas, with a lot of fabric and pattern mixing of plaids, florals, stripes, and prints. The overall mood gives a feeling of “coming home”.

Accessories show up in perfect pairs, with displays in mirror images. Materials such as crystal, marble, and porcelain are common in formal accents. Antiques and fine reproductions fit perfectly into these spaces. The overall feeling is regal and grand.

Formal Style

Traditional Style

Modern

is elegant and stately.

Vertical line is important, and wood furniture is often tall and stained in dark, polished finishes. Heavy trimmings and fringes adorn window treatments and the skirts of upholstered pieces. Window coverings are often layered, and Queen Anne

is a perfect blend of the casual and the formal styles. It reflects understated elegance. Furnishings have classic lines and understated detail. There is often a mix of dark wood finishes with more medium toned pieces.

Window coverings are simple yet refined,

with pleated panels on rings hung from fluted wood poles—with finials—being a common treatment. Jacquard fabrics, silks and linens are used on upholstery and window treatments. Leather is common as well. Accents include brass, porcelain, and crystal lamps, decorative china plates, leather bound books, and timeless accessories. The overall feeling is one of classic sophistication.

Modern Style

is urban, fresh, and slick. Clean lines and contrast of color are used as design tools to distinguish and separate furnishings and accessories from their background. The use of “negative space” is a key component—space is deliberately placed around items so they appear as though they are “on display”.

Upholstery on furniture is usually in neutral colors, and fabrics are pulled tight, with black, white, or colored leather in saturated hues being common upholstery materials. Pops of bold color and geometric pattern on throw pillows and accessories are used deliberately yet sparingly for effect. There is very little “frill”. Window treatments tend to be in hard materials with clean lines and right angles, with very little fabric— if any— used at the window.

Accent lighting strategically highlights art and sculpture. Accessories are few and are always “artistic” in nature. The overall feeling is clean, streamlined, sophisticated, and edgy.

With this lesson on decorating styles, you can now create your own style by mixing design elements from the four main styles to create an interior that is unique to you, and one you’ll want to come home to again and again.

summertime

sweets

Homemade popsicles are perfect for freshly picked fruits

by Annissa Anderson, for The Bulletin Special Projects / photos by Kari Mauser At the height of summer, what can be better than fresh fruit popsicles?

Any fruit, juiced or pureed and frozen into the ultimate summer refresher, takes the sizzle out of even the hottest days. But the best fruit popsicles are made with sunripened, in-season fruit plucked at its peak for sweetness.

Homemade fruit popsicles are a healthy, all-natural and low-fat

alternative to some packaged frozen desserts. Making popsicles is easy, and when the fruit is locally-sourced, you know the flavor can’t be fresher.

Depending on the natural sweetness of the fruit being used, it may even be possible to omit adding sugar.

Oregon-grown berries, stone fruit, melons and tree fruits, combined with a squeeze of lemon juice and a touch of sugar or simple syrup are all

excellent bases for frozen fruit pops.

Once you’ve made a few different versions, get creative and add fresh herbs or infused simple syrups for more sophisticated flavorings.

For cocktail-inspired popsicles, add a couple of tablespoons of suitable liquor to fruit mixtures before freezing, but be sure to keep these separated out and labeled for adults only.

Syrup That Is Simple Simple syrup is just that. Made with a 1:1 ratio of sugar and water, brought to a boil just long enough to melt the sugar, simple syrup can be made in any quantity and stored in the refrigerator for weeks. Sugar syrups are popular in drinks and frozen popsicles because the liquid sweetener disperses more evenly than sugar granules.

To infuse syrup, simply add herbs, spices or other aromatics such as ginger root or citrus peel when bringing sugar mixture to a boil.

Remove from heat and steep, covered, for 15-20 minutes before straining. Cool completely before refrigerating.

Watermelon-Mint Popsicles (Makes 8 popsicles) Watermelon and mint are found in abundance in Central Oregon during summer.

These popsicles, combining their flavors, are an especially refreshing summer treat.

FRESH & SWEET!

Ingredients: 4 C seedless watermelon, cut into 1 inch cubes 2 TBS sugar 1 TBS mint leaves, finely chopped 2 tsp finely grated lemon zest Pinch of salt

Method: In a blender, puree the watermelon with the sugar until smooth. Stir in the mint, lemon zest and salt. Pour the puree into 8 popsicle molds, cover and freeze until solid, about 3 hours.

THREE TIMES THE FUN

Triple Berry Popsicles (Makes 10 popsicles) Why choose a favorite summer berry? Have them all! Huckleberries or marionberries can also be substituted for the blueberries or raspberries.

Ingredients: 1/3 C sugar 1 C blueberries 1 C strawberries, hulled and sliced 1 C raspberries 1/4 C fresh lemon juice Method: 1. Put sugar and 1/3 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to boil over high heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Set aside.

2. Combine blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and lemon juice in a blender and purée until smooth, about 30 seconds. Add simple syrup and blend just until combined.

3. Transfer purée to popsicle molds, cover and freeze until solid, at least 4 hours.

PARTY TIME!

Blueberry- Peach Tequila “Poptails” (Makes 4 popsicles)

Boozy layers of peach and blueberry puree make these adult-only popsicles a dessert that doubles as a cocktail. Unflavored vodka or bourbon can be substituted for the tequila.

Ingredients: 2 large ripe peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced 5 TBS sugar 3 TBS tequila 2 TBS freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 pint blueberries Method: 1. Puree the peaches in a blender. Strain the puree into a bowl and stir in 3 tablespoons of the sugar, 2 tablespoons of the tequila and 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice. Pour the puree equally into popsicle molds. Freeze until almost firm, about 25 minutes. Poke a popsicle stick into the center of each.

2. Meanwhile, puree the blueberries in a blender. Strain through a fine sieve into a bowl and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of tequila and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Carefully pour the blueberry puree on top of the peach layer until it reaches the fill line. Cover and freeze until solid, about 2 hours.

Hoka One One

Shoe evolution

Pearl Izumi

by Bill Mintiens, for The Bulletin Special Projects photos by Kevin Prieto

The hot brand right now in Central Oregon is Hoka One One. But for runners, technology, research and trends are in a near-constant flux.

Why I ran (and walked) the 15-mile Smith Rock Ascent trail race on June 14, absolutely the most grueling trail race I’ve ever run, is still not clear to me. Starting in Smith Rock State Park, the race climbed to the top of Gray Butte, an elevation gain of 3,000 feet, and circled back to the park on mostly singletrack trails.

While questioning my sanity during the run, I also had two things on my mind. One: Will I survive? And two: Will I see anyone wearing Hoka running shoes, the newest hot trail running shoe in Central Oregon?

Sure enough, on the screaming descent from Gray Butte, I fell in behind a lithe young woman (whose quadriceps were not on fire like mine) wearing Hokas. Between gasps of air, I asked her how she liked them.

“I love them,” she said without a hint of breathlessness. “I also have a pair of Montrail’s, but I like my Hokas better,

the extra cushioning really softens these downhills and my legs recover much faster.”

Hobbling around the finish line after the race I noticed a number of other runners with Hokas. While I sat in the cool grass, they walked around looking like they could run another 15 miles.

Is “oversized” midsole cushioning the new running shoe technology trend?

A few decades ago running shoe technology revolved around controlling the motion of the foot. Shoe companies designed shoes to control overpronation (excessive inward roll of the foot on impact) and supination (excessive outward roll).

Then along came the “cushioning” systems — Nike Air, Asics Gel, Adidas’ Dellinger Web, and several others. Intended to lessen impact to the musculoskeletal system while prolonging the useful life of the shoe, all of these inventions pushed the innovation bar

(and retail prices) higher.

Then, within the last decade or so, a trend toward allowing the foot to move more “freely” emerged so that the foot moved with a runner’s natural gait. Shoes were introduced with softer midsoles, glove-like uppers, and outsoles that allowed the foot to plant, flex and roll as nature intended.

And then there were the gimmicks marketed as technological improvements.

Remember Skechers rocker-bottom shoes that were “scientifically designed” to tone your butt?

And let’s not forget the more recent trend — minimalist and barefoot running that caught fire with the release of Chris McDougall’s 2009 best-selling book “Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen.”

McDougall’s assertion is that modern cushioned running shoes are a major cause U Magazine | July 2014 | 19

of running injuries and that, after switching to the thin sandals worn by Tarahumara Indian Tribe runners in Mexico, he was able to overcome his previous running injuries.

Shoe company designers and product managers jumped on the bandwagon, racing to see who could get to market first with the least-cushioned, lowest profile, naturallymoving running shoe they could make.

Teague Hatfield, owner of the FootZone, a specialty running store in downtown Bend, has been watching these trends for 19 years.

“There’s not one shoe on the wall that wasn’t affected when ‘Born to Run’ came out. There’s not one shoe that’s the same after the whole minimalism trend came out.”

Vibram USA, best known for supplying long-

wearing rubber compounds for outsoles, beat everyone to market with its “FiveFingers” running shoes.

Runners are a savvy bunch of athletes who know, from having purchased a lot of running shoes, what works for them and what doesn’t.

“The problem with minimalism is that everyone wanted to see how little cushioning they could get away with. That’s the problem — people began to say, ‘No, I really do need cushioning,’” Hatfield said.

So the running shoe technology pendulum began swinging once again.

“For years, shoes trended toward the overbuilt side of things. Now (shoe companies are) coming back to, ‘Oh no, ride really matters, possibly more than anything else,” Hatfield said.

About three years ago, a small startup called Hoka One One (pronounced “O-nay, O-nay”) gave the pendulum a big push by introducing running shoes with oversized midsole cushioning, wide body design, and a pronounced “rocker” profile (allowing the shoe to roll easily from heel to toe) enhancing the “ride.” And the shoes were much lighter

than any other shoes on the market.

Trail running-crazy Central Oregon embraced them immediately. So was all that research about stability, motion control, natural motion, etc., being debunked?

Not really, says Scott White, owner of Fleet Feet Sports on Northwest Galveston Avenue in Bend.

“Hoka, while being a niche brand, has been a very hot brand. They are ultra-wide and ultra-cushioned to gain stability on trails,” he said.

Jim Van Dine, president of Hoka One One, believes his company is forging a new technological path.

“We definitely view our technology as revolutionary. It was designed from scratch — with biomechanical and athlete testing, and no other brand’s technology was referenced during development. None of the other ‘technologies’ are similar — despite some aesthetic similarities in some cases.”

Trail running shoes make up about 30 percent of FootZone’s business. Nationally, it’s about 2 percent for retailers. Easy access and the abundance of trails in Central Oregon make this area a runner’s mecca. So it’s no

wonder that another trend is the “hybrid” shoe, one shoe that works well for both roads and trails.

“The hybrid shoe, one that’s not extremely aggressive lug-wise, but it’s also good for trail running — that’s a trend as well,” White said.

Another trend with serious runners is having diversity within their shoe collection. Just as runners diversify their daily training, they’re also using different shoes for different events throughout the week.

“Most runners don’t thrive being in only one shoe. Most people believe now that we need a bit of diversity in our running shoes, not wearing the same pair again and again,” Hatfield said.

CHIA SEEDS: Super Food or Super Fad? The Tarahumara Indian runners profiled in Chris McDougall’s best-seller “Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen” influenced both running shoe design and our diets. Munching on chia seeds, derived from a flowering mint-like plant found in Mexico and Guatemala, the Tarahumara seemingly can run forever.

Chia seeds are both crunchy and tasty. Holding about nine to 10 times its weight in water, the seeds create a gel-like consistency on the tongue making them easy to eat.

Chia seeds are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, protein, antioxidants and minerals, but there is actually no scientific evidence that they improve endurance.

Scott Schaffer, strength and nutrition consultant, and Geneva Blunt, Certified Professional Coach, work at the Bend Downtown Athletic Club and Gym.

Lori Brizee, a registered dietitian with Central Oregon Nutrition Consultants, explains that chia seeds are very good for you.

“Salmon, chia seeds and other omega-3 sources are excellent for your heart health,” explained Blunt.

“Chia seeds can be a healthy addition to your diet. They add antioxidants, healthy fats, and a very healthy amount of fiber,” she said.

Commercial products on the market today are increasingly incorporating chia seeds. Mamma Chia Kiwi Lime drink pairs chia seeds with organic fruit juice and a touch of agave nectar.

Bottom line? Chia seeds are an excellent addition to a well-balanced diet for any endurance athlete — but not a complete source of nutrition by themselves.

HIT

the

DIRT

A popular part of Central Oregon’s fitness regimen, trail running benefits both the body and the mind.

by Laurel Brauns, for The Bulletin Special Projects / photos by Kevin Prieto

Some of the best trail runners in the world call Bend home, and races such as the Dirty Half and the Flagline 50k draw hundreds of visitors to the city. But for those who have never run on trail, all the hype begs the question, what is the draw for jogging through the woods?

“I’ve run the Shevlin Park Loop probably over a 1,000 times by now, and I’ve never once been bored,” said Teague Hatfield, owner and buyer for Footzone in downtown Bend. “The softer surfaces feel better and the varied terrain makes you work harder; and getting away from the noise, pollution and fumes is better for your head.”

“There is a serenity about it … being in a quiet place in the woods,” said Lisa Nye, Bend High School’s cross country coach and multi-winner of the Dirty Half among other races. “It’s more intellectually stimulating and you have a destination which makes it more interesting.”

22 | U Magazine | July 2014

Aside from the simple joy and release that comes with being in a beautiful setting, trail running also offers many health benefits over running on the road. The trail forces the runner to be more nimble and adaptive to the terrain, and the muscles move in different ways than they would if one were to simply travel in a straight line on the pavement. The softer surfaces are better for the knees and the joints and the inconsistency of the dirt is a benefit for long-term running health.

“Dealing with an inconsistent foot strike forces our body to adapt and use more of ourselves, making us strong and able to run better and longer,” Hatfield said.

These benefits are especially good for those interested in racing, as it increases stamina and overall fitness.

Dave Thomason, also known as Super Dave, is the race director for most of Bend’s popular trail running races and is an icon in his own right, known both for his height (6 feet 2 inches!) and his comedic presence at the races he hosts.

Although trail running is a big part of how he makes his living, he is amused that it has become so much of a “thing.”

“Before the marketing got a hold of it, we just called it running,” Dave said with a laugh.

Dave explains that one of the reasons his races are so popular is they give people a chance to get out into cool places they wouldn’t normally see. The Flagline 50k for instance starts at Mt. Bachelor, but winds along the Metolius-Windigo Trail and out to Happy Valley, a place which is nothing less than paradisiacal in the summer. Imagine violet wildflowers, plush grassy beds and gin-clear mountain waters gurgling through narrow channels.

Mastondon is a new race Thomason started in March 2014 that is sure to become an “instant classic early season run,” according to his website www.superfitproductions. com, because the terrain is relatively flat compared to the difficult courses he is known to chart. The race undulates near Cline Butte offering views of the Deschutes River and the Cascades and is a perfect example of the kind of runs that are available in Central Oregon even in the coldest months.

Now that summer is here though, the high country is opening up, and classic runs such as the Green Lakes to Soda Creek Loop are a must-do for the trail runner who can go the distance. Both Nye and Hatfield name this as one of their all-time favorite trail runs in Central Oregon.

While Footzone has developed a reputation as being the barbershop of the local racing scene, Teague Hatfield and his team started the “Learn to Run” series in an effort to transition people into the sport in a fun and non-competitive atmosphere.

Visit www.footzonebend.com to find out more.

If running 12 miles seems intimidating, hiking this trail (or any local trails for that matter) offer all the benefits of running minus the intensity.

“Hiking is just as good for you,” Hatfield said. “If you asked me that 10 years ago, I might have had a different answer, but I’m a huge proponent of just moving.”

Lisa Nye, who regularly takes her students to train at high elevations to deepen their aerobic capacity, says she often prefers to simply hike at those high elevations when she’s on her own.

“Trail running gives me a sense of spiritual appreciation for where I am,” Nye said. “We live in this beautiful, amazing place, and running gives me the connection to it. It’s a good reminder to appreciate where we are.”

For our children

Deschutes Land Trust connects the community to the natural world.

by Kathy Oxborrow, for The Bulletin Special Projects In the 1990s, the Sisters community was in a battle over a proposed land use action to develop property in a subdivision.

“A lot of people in the community weren’t very happy with the proposal,” said Brad Chalfant, “and it became a very personal, very ugly fight.”

That dispute ended up in mediation and the mediator suggested resolving it by placing the property in a land trust. The mediator’s suggestion sparked the creation of the Deschutes Land Trust, a nonprofit that works to preserve and conserve land.

Chalfant became the nonprofit’s first and only executive director.

The timing was right to form the Deschutes Land Trust. Many groups and mediation participants coalesced around the idea.

“It was clear that there was a real opportunity to do something that would be creative, that instead of polarizing the community would help problem solve and bring people together,” Chalfant said.

Preserving the land for their children’s use — the next generation — was a guiding value of the Land Trust’s founders.

“Everybody thinks we’re about the land,” Chalfant said. “We’re about the community’s connection to the land. We’re protecting these places for our kids and our kids’ kids.”

People often feel a connection to the land when they are able to plant a willow or release a fish into a stream that before the restoration efforts of the Land Trust was not a hospitable habitat. Land in the nonprofit’s care sees dramatic improvements, including creek and habitat restoration that not only benefits fish but other wildlife including birds, deer and elk.

Children feel linked to the land when they explore nature at the Metolius Preserve while building fairy houses using materials they find in the forest and during Land Trust tours that explore “the delicate and beautiful world of butterflies” and that encourage kids Visit www.deschuteslandtrust.org for more information.

to get wet while learning “why water bugs are such important indicators of water quality.”

There are many opportunities for the public to benefit from the Land Trust’s conservation efforts through its events and tours. Knowledgeable volunteers lead the guided hikes and walks through the various preserves.

Since 1995, the Land Trust has protected 8,223 acres.

“Every transaction is different because of the landowner’s needs,” said Chalfant. “We don’t do a transaction unless the landowner is ready and willing to do a transaction.”

Sometimes the Land Trust becomes the landowner and other times it creates an agreement with the landowner to permanently protect the land. Regardless of the type of acquisition, the Land Trust becomes responsible for the land, preserving

“We’re about the community’s connection to the land. We’re protecting these places for our kids and our kids’ kids.” it in perpetuity for the benefit of the public.

In the Sisters situation, the landowner donated the land, but many of the acres under the stewardship of the Land Trust have been purchased with funds raised from diverse groups. In the case of the Metolius Preserve, the Land Trust raised $2.6 million to buy the land from Willamette Industries.

Funds came from individuals, businesses and foundations.

To acquire the Camp Polk Meadow Preserve,

the Land Trust partnered with Portland General Electric. When Enron bought PGE, the Oregon Public Utility Commission required it to establish a habitat mitigation fund, which was tapped to buy the Camp Polk Meadow land. The Meadow contains critical habitat for the reintroduction of Sockeye Salmon and Spring Chinook.

The Land Trust obtained Whychus Canyon Preserve two years ago and is currently working to protect an adjacent property that will connect the Preserve with another Land Trust protected property, Rimrock Ranch.

“If we’re successful, we’ll be able to restore a six-mile stretch of the Whychus Creek that will benefit native fish and wildlife tremendously,” said Chalfant.

Carly’s Kids After the death of their daughter, Carly (pictured above left), Kevin and Sandy Phillips founded a nonprofit dedicated to helping underprivileged kids attend outdoor camps and schools.

A local nonprofit dedicated to providing financial aid to youth for outdoor camps

by Damian Fagan, for The Bulletin Special Projects / photo by Kevin Prieto Carly Phillips had a star-shaped tattoo on her foot that everyone called “Carly’s Star.”

Last summer, family and friends used glow-inthe-dark paint to put the star on every cabin’s ceiling at Camp Tamarack near Suttle Lake.

“It was so cute when the kids came in for breakfast and said that Carly’s star was shining down on them last night,” said Sandy Phillips, Carly’s mom.

Carly passed away in 2011 at age 26 in Bend.

She had grown up in California, but her parents moved to Bend when Carly attended Oregon State in 2002. She graduated with a degree in sociology and worked for the Multnomah ESD Outdoor School program before attending the University of Montana where she obtained a master’s degree in environmental sociology.

26 | U Magazine | July 2014

She enjoyed hiking, camping and fly fishing with friends and family — and had a passion for getting children connected to the outdoors.

Inspired by the national “Leave No Child Inside” movement, Carly worked for the Ecology Project International in Missoula, Mont., that taught high school students how to address conservation issues.

“She recognized that some students don’t do well in the classroom, but they might be incredible in field studies,” said Phillips, who teaches fifth grade at Ensworth Elementary School in Bend.

“We were trying to figure out a way to honor her passion, and thought why don’t we start a foundation and help underprivileged kids go to outdoor camp,” she added.

Thus, Carly’s Kids was born.

By 2012, Carly’s Kids had raised $3,000 from private donations and provided assistance to 38 students from Ensworth to attend Camp Arrah Wanna near Welches.

The following year, Carly’s Kids provided funding for 60 fifth-graders from Ensworth and Juniper elementary schools to attend Arrah Wanna, as well as to fund an Outdoor School Day for Ensworth’s kindergarten through fourth grades. Held in Shevlin Park, the fifth-graders assisted teachers and led ageappropriate workshops for younger students.

“This way, the younger kids would get excited about camp,” said Phillips.

In 2014, Carly’s Kids donated $33,000 to eight Bend-La Pine schools for fifth-graders to go

Private donations, a successful McMenamins fundraiser, a $500 Pay it Forward donation from KTVZ’s News Channel 21, and monies raised

by Ensworth student fundraisers provided financial assistance for 518 Title 1 students to attend Outdoor Camp.

“The two-night, three-day program with different science labs allows students to have an outstanding outdoor classroom experience to study the effects of fire on soils, plants and animals,” said Doug Nelson, a Carly’s Kids board member. However, attending camp can be a financial challenge, especially for students already qualifying for free and reduced meals.

“It costs $175 per student to attend the threeday Outdoor Camp, so we were pleased to be able to help so many students,” said Erin Mayall, a Carly’s Kids board member.

Camp Tamarack started in 1935 when Donna Gill and Lucile Murphy leased Forest Service land and set up a horse camp for girls. The camp sat unused for most of the last 75 years. Charlie

Anderson, a former Pine Ridge Elementary School teacher, bought the camp last year.

When Phillips met Anderson, the synergy between the two was immediate. Both had recently lost a family member.

Charlie’s brother Tyler Anderson, age 37, passed away in a climbing accident in Peru in 2010. After a rough childhood, Tyler’s experiences in outdoor adventures while in high school changed his life. Charlie and his family set up a foundation in Tyler’s memory called On Belay Ty. The foundation’s mission will continue Tyler’s passion for the outdoors, adventure and education through youth camps that encourage kids to experience the wonders of Central Oregon.

“These two foundations are helping our respective healing processes,” said Anderson.

Anderson and Phillips both believe in the healing power of outdoor education, and it is that belief that spurs them to work together to get kids learning in nature at all levels.

This year, the Bend-LaPine School board voted

Carly Phillips, who died in 2011, was inspired by the national “Leave No Child Inside” movement.

to provide $50 for each fifth-grade student to go toward experiential education. Lora Nordquist, assistant superintendent for the school district, has been a “strong supporter of this concept,” according to Phillips.

Phillips acknowledges that the support for Carly’s Kids has been phenomenal, far exceeding anything she, her family or the board could envision.

“It’s a testament to Carly,” said Nelson. “She never met a person she didn’t like.”

the brave new world of

e-babysitters

by John Cal, for The Bulletin Special Projects / photo by Kari Mauser

Tablet computers, smartphones and e-readers keep kids entertained — but with limitations.

When I was a kid, spending the afternoon with a babysitter meant making crafts with Suzie Nakamura from down the street, playing card games with grandma over a cup of Ovaltine, or helping my grandfather weed the garden. At the very least, it meant a few hours with Bert & Ernie of “Sesame Street.”

Today’s babysitters are much more sophisticated, and becoming integrated into everyday living instead of just being utilized for a few hours on an errant afternoon. But 28 | U Magazine | July 2014

what does it mean to use today’s babysitters responsibly? How are moms aiding their family’s everyday experience with these modern babysitters? Because we no longer call on Suzie, grandma, or grandpa. Instead, we look to iPad, Galaxy and Kindle.

“For our family it really evolves all the time,” said RiKá Tippet, mother of 5½-yearold son Metao, and 6-month-old daughter, Talula. “We really limited electronic use from the beginning. We have a TV, but we don’t

have cable. (Metao) wasn’t allowed to watch cartoons for a long time. He didn’t even see Thomas (the Train) till he was 4.”

Tippet’s method is to stay on top of her apps.

“What works for us continues to change, so when something stops working we delete it, and we’re always trying something new,” she offered. “But I will say, it’s a double edged sword. Sometimes we’ll allow him to watch a 25-minute show on the iPad as a reward ... but it’s like flipping a switch with his attitude

-- he becomes crabby and demanding ... I think anytime their brains are allowed to ‘zone’ you’ll start to notice behavioral changes.”

While tablet use is ultimately up to parents, tablets sometimes enter the home without warning. Ellen Paulsen’s son Ted, now 6, was given a tablet for his fourth birthday.

“It was a Zoodles Tablet and was supposed to be better for you to control, but now he has an Android,” she said.

Paulsen’s 3-year-old daughter Jayme also has a tablet.

“She’s not allowed to use it if she’s throwing a fit. But if we want her to be entertained and quiet, we’ll sometimes put on a show for her to watch. ... There are educational games the kids like playing and things they like to read on the tablet, but I would say for us it’s mostly entertainment like Netflix.”

For Paulson, passwords are important, ensuring that her children are only able to use their tablets when they’ve been respectful and earned the reward.

While passwords can aid in tablet monitoring, Kathy Bierwagen and her family also rely on app reviews to know what is appropriate for their children, three boys -- Cameron, 15, Blake, 13, and Alex, 10.

“Before we let them download anything, we check online reviews,” Bierwagen said. “It also stays in our family room so we can monitor its usage. The kids have to ask permission before they can take it to their bedroom to watch a movie on it. It’s treated like a privilege.

“We’ve had an iPad now for about two years, and what they’ve been interested in has changed over the years,” Bierwagen continued. “Game usage has decreased, and now they just like to watch movies and do some reading on it. For us, it’s been a lot of training, teaching the kids how to use the Internet and what’s appropriate.”

Rayne Cedergreen also finds empowering her children to make good choices for themselves is the best approach.

“My kids would quickly find out what passwords were, and so it was really important for me to teach them how to work out decisions on their own.”

She does, however, receive an email alert whenever her girls download apps to their devices, a method of monitoring that works best for her family.

Cedergreen’s middle child, Rosie, has a tablet — a Kindle she got for her 11th birthday — and

16-year-old Ivy has an iPhone.

Cedergreen also has a younger son, Isaak, who is 5 and who she says is really into superheroes.

“Something that I needed to remember was that each of my kids is different and one approach wasn’t going to work for all of them.”

Keli Janosek, also a mother of 3, in a single tableted home.

“For us, it was a birthday present for my oldest, Aubrey (age 11),” said Janosek, “and we knew we were going to have to set up parameters right away.”

Keli uses a Kindle-specific app called Kindle Freetime where each child can be set up with their own account that limits screen time according to parent parameters.

“We have it set up so that they can have unlimited reading time, but limited game or music access,” Janosek explained, adding that the built in tracking keeps her from having to monitor a timer. “You can also set it up to not work at all at different times of the day, and there are different settings for weekends and weekdays.”

Whenever a set time is over, the app shows a picture of a child playing a kite with the words “Time to find a new activity” across the screen.

“Electronic management is hard because I know I tend to zone out on screens too, and while setting them up with screen time was making it possible for me to get stuff done around the house it ultimately wasn’t helping. It was creating conflicts and putting them in a bad mood, and I began to think it wasn’t as helpful as I thought … but everybody does it,” expounded Janosek.

“There’s guilt that comes from the studies that tell us we shouldn’t use screen time at all, but I try not to beat myself up about it. Everything in moderation, and I don’t care what any parent tells you. We’re all just winging it.”

“Everything in moderation, and I don’t care what any parent tells you.

We’re all just winging it.”

At the Workplace

by Connie Worrell-Druliner, for The Bulletin

Workplace Humor

Will It Help or Hinder Your Business? The Answer Lies Somewhere in Between.

Humor is one of those things in life that is wonderful when it works and awkward when it doesn’t. Just think of a time when a joke you told got a laugh from everyone in the room. Then compare it to another time when your wit was met with blank stares and offended looks. In the workplace, especially, humor has been blamed for some pretty big upsets, causing it to become a sensitive subject around the office.

But research indicates that workplace laughter has its benefits. Chris Robert, a professor at the University of Missouri-Columbia, published his findings about workplace humor in the Research in Personnel and Human Resources Management journal. In a Business Week article, Robert explained that “the link between humor and positive emotions seems strong, which is intuitive, and there’s also a strong correlation between positive emotions and workplace performance.” So it might be time to consider how humor could actually help your business. It can help you build your relationships, but can also go a long way with your internal team.

Look for It In Your Top Talent

There are many qualities to look for in potential employees, and many characteristics depend on the position you’re attempting to fill.

But, if you’re looking to add an intelligent or creative person to your team you may also want to take notice of their humorous side.

According to Robert, the ability to be humorous is “associated with intelligence and creativity, two things highly valued in workplaces.” The reason for that is because of what humor is.

“We find jokes or comments funny because they are linking two things together—perhaps through a punch line—that you wouldn’t normally link together,” Robert explains.

“That’s what creativity is, too: Putting things together in a unique way.” For those in high-stress jobs or leadership roles, laughter and banter with co-workers can be a great relief.

At the same time, having an enjoyable work environment can appeal to top talent. The Wall Street

Journal published that “mixing laughter and fun into a company culture can attract skilled workers.”

Use It to Cut Down on Turnover

Embracing humor within your company can also help to reduce your employee turnover. Business Week reported “joking around on the job can actually have a positive effect on productivity and employee retention.”

The Wall Street Journal highlighted a Pennsylvania State University study which found that “a good laugh activates the same regions of the brain that light up over a fat bonus check.” And that makes sense if you think about it. As Robert says, “if you have positive emotions about your job, you’re less likely to quit.”

Don’t Take Yourself Too Seriously

Obviously, creating a workplace that employees enjoy is going to improve the work environment. But

leaders can use a specific type of humor to improve their reputation among, and relationships with, their employees. “One trait that consistently ranks highly among the most admired leaders is they’re confident enough to poke fun at themselves,” reported Forbes. “Smart leaders have long recognized the best punchline – themselves.”

The Leadership & Organization Development Journal found that “executives and managers who use self-deprecating humor appear more approachable and human to subordinates.”

Like anything, humor should be used in moderation, tastefully, and in accordance to your business culture. But when an expectation is set that a business or department isn’t fun to be a part of, productivity, turnover, and recruiting will all be impacted.

Why not see if a little bit of joking and laughter could help your business and employees’ performance?

You might even enjoy work a little more yourself.
