That’s one question among many in the “Fit for Life” class at Hood River Middle School, a curriculum developed by health and wellness teacher Stacy Claus over the past 14 years, and now vigorously presented to students by teacher Kyle Turn- er, with assistance from parent volunteer Marge Gale. Topics include the benefits of fitness (why we should do this?), assessing one’s fitness, and, ultimately creating and implementing a personal fitness program. “Fit for Life is essentially Personal Training 101,” noted Claus, a long-time teacher in the Hood River County School District who is currently on maternity leave. “Hopefully, kids learn what they can do to stay in shape once they are out of school or no longer have a coach pre- scribing their workout for them,” Claus said. On a typical afternoon, the students can be seen outdoors recording their at-rest pulse, then running or jumping rope or doing other heart rate-raising activities, followed by checking and recording their pulse in the heart rate lab in their notebooks. The lab asks questions such as, “how long did it take your heart rate to return to the original rate of beating at rest?” and “could you improve your physical con- dition? What type of exercise should you do?” The curricu- lum lists plenty of types of exercise, along with tips for stretching, weight control, and nutrition. To answer the “how hard do I need to work” question, students can follow a chart that lists weight loss, anaerobic strength and lactate tolerance as benefits of expending higher and higher percentages of maximum heart rate for durations of an hour, 15-40 minutes, and 1-5 minutes. Students learn that the “why exercise” is all about weight maintenance, better sleep, reduction of depression and stress, better academic performance, increased muscle mass, and the social benefits. Students learn about metabo- lism, weight management, and nutrition. They also explore Local resources for getting fit PhotobyPatrickMulvihill ACTIVE SENIORSjoinOSUextensionhealthinstructor,LaurenKraemer,inabalancetest,partofherlessononosteoporosisprevention attheHoodRiverAdultCenterinApril.

HealthyHoodRiver Reserve ad space by: June17 in Business in Business Barb Smith photo A PUBLICATION OF THE HOOD RIVER NEWS AND THE WHITE SALMON ENTERPRISE JULY 2014 Gorge Dog By TRISHA WALKER Gorge Dog, owned by Lisa Willis Wiltsie, will celebrate its 15th anniversary in November. Located at 412 Oak Street, it’s a business plan that reflects Wiltsie’s love of dogs. “Sitting on the library lawn with my husband one day, we started commenting on how many dogs there were in Hood River,” Wiltsie said. “I have been doing retail since I was 16 — I worked for many different department stores during my career, including Front Street Sail- boards (the space prior to Big Winds). I thought I could bring a fresh idea for selling fun and functional items for dogs and novelty gift items for their humans.” People assume Gorge Dog’s products are more expensive than chain stores, but Wiltsie disagrees. Besides competitively priced mer- chandise, she also offers many specialty items not found in other stores. Take her top sellers — collars and toys. “I pride myself on our collar selection,” she said. “I have a diverse selection of collars for dogs who swim, wedding collars, special occasion collars, reflective collars and just plain fun col- lars.” She’s also constantly searching the market for indestructible dog toys. “Some have come close, but there are just those dogs who can get through anything — my dog being one of WomenInBusiness Reserve ad space by: June29 Columbia Gorge Discov- ery Center and Museum pre- sents author Dr. Robert Boyd on Friday, June 12, with “Henry K.W. Perkins: Forgot- ten Wascopam Missionary.” The culture a la carte dinner begins at 6 p.m. and the pro- gram starts at 7 p.m. at the Discovery Center, 5000 Dis- covery Drive, in The Dalles. Boyd’s presentation will focus on previously unpub- lished material on the oft- overlooked missionary, Rev. Henry Kirke White Perkins, who served at the Methodist- Episcopal Wascopam Mis- sion in The Dalles from 1838- 1844. Established March 21, 1838, by Rev. Perkins and Rev. Daniel Lee, Wascopam Mis- sion was a central meeting place for native people as well as the rising tide of Ore- gon Trail emigrants. While the missions were declared a failure in Oregon by church officials, the Wascopam Mis- sion in The Dalles was a rare success story, in large part due to Perkins’ open-minded approach and respect for the native people of the area. Dr. Robert T. Boyd is a re- search anthropologist at Portland State University, and the author of “People of The Dalles,” a study of the early history and culture of the native Chinookan (Wasco-Wishram) and Sahap- tin peoples of The Dalles area of the Columbia River. The early history and cul- ture of these communities is reconstructed from the ac- counts of explorers, travel- ers, and the early writings of the Methodist missionaries at Wascopam, in particular the papers of Rev. Henry Perkins. The journals of Henry K.W. Perkins are historically significant because they gave a first-hand account that has become the most ac- curate and informative por- trayal of the day-to-day life of indigenous peoples in The Dalles area during the great upheaval and transition of cultures in the late 1830s and early 1840s. The dinner menu in- cludes: mustard glazed pork loin, roasted sweet potatoes, sautéed lemon butter Brus- sel sprouts, avocado mango citrus salad, French bread, and cheesecake. A no-host bar will be available. Cost for the dinner and program is $20, the presenta- tion only is $5. Tickets for the dinner must be purchased by June 9. You can purchase tickets by calling 541-296-8600 x 201 or visit online at www.gorgediscovery.org. ‘Author Talk’ at Discovery Center June 12 Submitted photo BEST OF THE GORGE Hood River textile artist Rhonda Harris is one of several Gorge-area artists exhibiting in the Columbia Center for the Arts “Best of the Gorge” show, running now through August 2.The show was juried by Jennifer Zika, Manager of the Port- land Art Museum Sales and Rental Gallery, and cash prizes will be awarded to the best works, both 2D and 3D.All media are invited, including drawing, painting, photography, glass, ce- ramics, sculpture, and mixed media.

Local kids learn tools for healthmonitoring and lifelong wellness

The Pulse of PreventionBy KIRBY NEUMANN-REA

News staff writer

How hard do I need to work?

That’s one question among many in the “Fitfor Life” class at Hood River Middle School, acurriculum developed by health and wellnessteacher Stacy Claus over the past 14 years, and

now vigorously presented to students by teacher Kyle Turn-er, with assistance from parent volunteer Marge Gale.

Topics include the benefits of fitness (why we should dothis?), assessing one’s fitness, and, ultimately creating andimplementing a personal fitness program.

“Fit for Life is essentially Personal Training 101,” notedClaus, a long-time teacher in the Hood River County SchoolDistrict who is currently on maternity leave.

“Hopefully, kids learn what they can do to stay in shapeonce they are out of school or no longer have a coach pre-scribing their workout for them,” Claus said.

On a typical afternoon, the students can be seen outdoorsrecording their at-rest pulse, then running or jumping ropeor doing other heart rate-raising activities, followed bychecking and recording their pulse in the heart rate lab intheir notebooks. The lab asks questions such as, “how longdid it take your heart rate to return to the original rate ofbeating at rest?” and “could you improve your physical con-dition? What type of exercise should you do?” The curricu-lum lists plenty of types of exercise, along with tips forstretching, weight control, and nutrition.

To answer the “how hard do I need to work” question,students can follow a chart that lists weight loss, anaerobicstrength and lactate tolerance as benefits of expendinghigher and higher percentages of maximum heart rate fordurations of an hour, 15-40 minutes, and 1-5 minutes.

Students learn that the “why exercise” is all about weightmaintenance, better sleep, reduction of depression andstress, better academic performance, increased musclemass, and the social benefits. Students learn about metabo-lism, weight management, and nutrition. They also exploresome of the reasons behind common health-related dis-eases such as obesity, diabetes, and eating disorders.

“Students discuss healthy body image, as well as com-mon fitness myths and outside pressures from the media toconfirm to a certain size,” Claus said.

The model for the class is half lesson/lecture and halfphysical activity.

“Some kids enter the quarter moaning about the writtenwork, quizzes, and project, but, more than any other PEclass I’ve ever taught, students thank us, year after year, forproviding them with the tools to create a lifetime of healthand wellness,” Claus said.

Fit for Life is sort of like one big science experimentwhere an eighth grader gets to use his or her own body asthe subject. “Students report that they are often surprisedby how good they feel after participating in the 9-weekcourse,” Claus said.

Claus said the class “morphs into something greater eachyear.” The curriculum is based on a high school FFL classdeveloped by Human Kinetics, but “there was nothing onthe market appropriate specific middle school audience thatneeds to move!” Claus said.

“Over the years, I have created a 40-page workbook thatserves as a text for the class. It’s always changing. I am verythankful to have Kyle as a new PE partner. Both of us havea background in exercise science and nutrition, and that isthe foundation of every lesson we teach.”

Gorge DogBy TRISHA WALKER

Gorge Dog, owned by Lisa Willis Wiltsie, willcelebrate its 15th anniversary in November.Located at 412 Oak Street, it’s a business planthat reflects Wiltsie’s love of dogs.

“Sitting on the library lawn with my husbandone day, we started commenting on howmany dogs there were in Hood River,” Wiltsiesaid. “I have been doing retail since I was 16 —I worked for many different department storesduring my career, including Front Street Sail-boards (the space prior to Big Winds). Ithought I could bring a fresh idea for sellingfun and functional items for dogs and noveltygift items for their humans.”

People assume Gorge Dog’s products aremore expensive than chain stores, but Wiltsiedisagrees. Besides competitively priced mer-chandise, she also offers many specialty itemsnot found in other stores.

Take her top sellers — collars and toys. “Ipride myself on our collar selection,” she said.“I have a diverse selection of collars for dogswho swim, wedding collars, special occasioncollars, reflective collars and just plain fun col-lars.”

She’s also constantly searching the marketfor indestructible dog toys. “Some have comeclose, but there are just those dogs who canget through anything — my dog being one ofthose,” she said. “We carry squeakies, rubber,ropes, leather, light up balls, Frisbees and lotsof plush. We try to include large and smalldogs in our collection.”

The store is, of course, dog-friendly. “This is

Columbia Gorge Discov-ery Center and Museum pre-sents author Dr. Robert Boydon Friday, June 12, with“Henry K.W. Perkins: Forgot-ten Wascopam Missionary.”The culture a la carte dinnerbegins at 6 p.m. and the pro-gram starts at 7 p.m. at theDiscovery Center, 5000 Dis-covery Drive, in The Dalles.Boyd’s presentation will

focus on previously unpub-lished material on the oft-overlooked missionary, Rev.Henry Kirke White Perkins,who served at the Methodist-Episcopal Wascopam Mis-sion in The Dalles from 1838-1844. Established March 21,1838, by Rev. Perkins and Rev.Daniel Lee, Wascopam Mis-sion was a central meetingplace for native people aswell as the rising tide of Ore-gon Trail emigrants. Whilethe missions were declared a

failure in Oregon by churchofficials, the Wascopam Mis-sion in The Dalles was a raresuccess story, in large partdue to Perkins’ open-mindedapproach and respect for thenative people of the area.Dr. Robert T. Boyd is a re-

search anthropologist atPortland State University,and the author of “People ofThe Dalles,” a study of theearly history and culture ofthe native Chinookan(Wasco-Wishram) and Sahap-tin peoples of The Dallesarea of the Columbia River.The early history and cul-ture of these communities isreconstructed from the ac-counts of explorers, travel-ers, and the early writings ofthe Methodist missionariesat Wascopam, in particularthe papers of Rev. HenryPerkins.The journals of Henry

K.W. Perkins are historicallysignificant because theygave a first-hand accountthat has become the most ac-curate and informative por-trayal of the day-to-day life ofindigenous peoples in TheDalles area during the greatupheaval and transition ofcultures in the late 1830s andearly 1840s.The dinner menu in-

cludes: mustard glazed porkloin, roasted sweet potatoes,sautéed lemon butter Brus-sel sprouts, avocado mangocitrus salad, French bread,and cheesecake. A no-hostbar will be available.Cost for the dinner and

program is $20, the presenta-tion only is $5. Tickets for thedinner must be purchased byJune 9. You can purchasetickets by calling 541-296-8600x 201 or visit online atwww.gorgediscovery.org.
