PROTECT YOUR SKIN FROM THE SUN

Before you read this,

take off allyour clothes.

Now look in the mirror for signs of melanoma/skin cancer. Notice any changes in the shape or color of your moles or freckles? Do you have any new blemishes that are larger than 1/4-inch, varied in color, irregular or asymmetrical in shape? If so, you may have melanoma or another form of skin cancer and you should see a dermatologist. Left alone, melanoma will spread throughout your body and eventually kill you. Melanoma can be successfully cured if caught early.

Okay, you can put your clothes back on now.

Outstanding Urologic Care for Men, Women & Children

The month of May means flowers are in bloom, spring sports are in full swing, and Mother’s Day celebrations are in the

works. I miss many things about my mother, Margaret. Mostly, I miss the little things—her ageless energy, contagious laughter, and famous homemade cinnamon rolls. I smile when I think about seeing her and my father dancing to their favorite big band sounds in the middle of the day and the extra suitcases packed with surprises for our kids when my parents visited us from Michigan. But most of all, I remember her choice to be happy, even when life was hard. She was someone who truly could light up a room. I think of her every day.

May is also “Melanoma Awareness Month.” Be sure to read our article on protecting your skin from sun exposure as the warmer weather calls on us to spend more time outdoors.

This issue of Bend Lifestyle focuses on home and garden ideas.

WINDERMERE REAL ESTATE IN REDMOND EXPANDS

As the real estate market continues to boom across Oregon, the top-producing real estate brokerage in Redmond, Windermere Real Estate, has moved to a new office space to house its growing staff and cli-entele. Windermere celebrated the grand opening of its new office space on March 10 with a ribbon cutting ceremony hosted by the Redmond Chamber of Commerce.

More than 100 attendees celebrated the new space at 821 SW 6th Street, which is nearly twice the size of the Central Oregon real estate company’s previous office. The new 7,400 square-foot space will house the 30 brokers already working at the Redmond office, with room for 12 more to join.

“I am excited by the pace of growth we are seeing in the central Oregon real estate market and this new office provides even more room to cater to our community,” said Steve Redman, owner of Windermere/Central Oregon Real Estate. “It is clear that Windermere has garnered a steadfast rep-utation within the community and I look forward to engaging with new clients and brokers as a result of our expansion.”

CENTRAL OREGON TRAILS ALLIANCE ANNOUNCES TRAIL PLANS

Local nonprofit and mountain bike trail advocate Central Oregon Trails Alliance (COTA) has announced plans—approved by the United States Forest Service (USFS)—for projects in the Phil’s Trail and Wanoga areas. The Pine Drops Trail will become part of their official inventory, and includes a reroute away from environmen-tally sensitive areas. A new connector trail will be constructed from the bottom of Lower Whoops to Phil's Trail. The Kent's/Phil's junction will be realigned to the Phil's/Voodoo junction. Tyler 's Return and the extension of Grand Slam will become part of our official inventory. In addition, the USFS has asked COTA to remove approximately 7.5 miles of user-built trails.

COTA's primary purpose is to design, construct and maintain sustainable, human-powered multi-use trails. Further, COTA strives to enhance the mountain bike riding experience through safety, education, trail stewardship, public out-reach and advocacy.

BEND WHITEWATER PARK REOPENS

The Bend Park and Recreation District reopened the Bend Whitewater Park on March 18, following winter work modifi-cations to improve performance in the whitewater and passageway channels.

“The winter modifications were com-pleted with only minimal disruptions due to the winter weather conditions,” said Brian Hudspeth, development manager for the District. “The feedback about the wave features and the passageway chan-nel is favorable and we look forward to the upcoming river recreation season.”

The completed whitewater channel modifications included raising the pool elevations above the lower two features and shallowing the pool below the upper wave by installing a concrete “floor” to help stabilize the wave. The passageway channel work focused on installing boul-ders to direct water through the center of the channel, thus decreasing the chance of floaters dropping over the shoulders and flipping.

The project’s original funding allo-cation, remaining bond funds from the Farewell Bend Bridge project, and prop-erty tax revenue provided the winter work funding. BendParksAndRec.org

Giving Back

Sprawling across two acres on the outskirts of Sisters, the nonprofit organic farm Seed to Table is about to be in full

bloom. Once vegetables and fruits are ready to be picked, the farm will be responsible for distributing several tons of pro-duce to families in Sisters and beyond.

Audrey Tehan, Director of the Seed to Table program, returned to her hometown of Sisters after college and started the program literally from the ground up. Tehan began her career by managing a greenhouse on the Sisters Middle School grounds. Working with the school district, Tehan integrated a farm-to-table program that put the greenhouse-grown vegetables and fruits directly on school lunch tables districtwide.

“Growing your own food is both challenging and reward-ing,” says Tehan, who grew up in a farming family, installing irrigation lines and using proper organic methods.

Unfortunately, the middle school greenhouse was destroyed by a snow storm in 2013. This did not deter Tehan, however, as her dream had always been to oversee a successful commu-nity garden and share the importance of nutrition, agriculture and art with kids and adults. After securing several grants and planting the first seeds on her family’s land, the Seed to Table vision began to take shape. It is now one of the most successful community outreach programs in the area.

seed to tableAudrey Tehan


Seed to Table’s mission has been the same from the beginning—to increase the health and wellness of the Central Oregon Community by providing equal access to nutritious foods and education in science, garden-ing and art. During the growing season, Seed to Table provides produce for close to 200 low income families each week. Families get access to the produce through the school district, the Sisters Kiwanis food bank, and a produce share providing a weekly bounty of fresh and seasonal fruits and vegetables.

“I love being a part of the community and working with the schools. The stu-dents are really becoming familiar with our program and have started making

changes to their eating habits.”

- Audrey Tehan

The educational component of Seed to Table invites Central Oregonian children to work a minimum of four hours in farm-based education. Using a hands-on approach, kids learn to plant seeds, garden organically, and harvest in the high desert’s challenging environment. Kids also learn the importance of physical activity and sup-porting local farmers and products.

KEEPING IT LOC AL“I love being a part of the community and working with

the schools,” says a proud Tehan. “The students are really becoming familiar with our program and have started mak-ing changes to their eating habits.”

The Sisters Community has been extremely supportive of Seed to Table both financially and physically, furthering the commitment of making their town a healthier place to live. In addition to private donations and classes, Seed to Table raises money by holding community events includ-ing the Rotary Club Hoedown and the Fall Harvest Dinner where they partner with local chefs to prepare a four-course, farm fresh meal.

Healthy Lifestyle

SEEK THE SHADE - Staying out of the mid-day sun is crucial. Plan outdoor activities for morning and evening, avoiding sun expo-sure when your shadow is shorter than your body height (about 10 a.m. to about 4 p.m., but this varies with season and latitude).

SLIP AND SLAP - Slip on a long-sleeved shirt and slap on a hat! Protective clothing is sec-ond only to outright avoidance of sun expo-sure. Cool, comfortable, and light-weight clothing is available now in wide selections of colors and styles, and is a great investment in your skin health.

Springwith

MAY IS MELANOMA AWARENESS MONTH

Well, it's that time of year again! The grass is greener, the sky is bluer, the breeze is warmer, and the sun is stronger. However, with a little forethought and preparation you can help yourself and your family stay safe while you enjoy

our beautiful Central Oregon outdoors. And remember, the ultraviolet rays that cause skin cancer also destroy elastic fibers and collagen in skin, resulting in fine lines and wrinkles, as well as sallow, thin, discolored skin. So even if you don't feel motivated to practice sun precautions in order to avoid skin cancer, you’ll want to be "sun smart" to keep your skin youthful

and healthy. The following tips will help you stay more youthful looking as well as safer from skin cancer.

SLOP - Slop on sunscreen, every day, summer or winter, rain or shine. Make sure to use a truly effective sunscreen, and the best are "physical" blockers with zinc oxide (micronized) or tita-nium dioxide. A double application is best—to avoid skipped spots and using too little, result-ing in a thin layer, and a lower-than-advertised Sun Protection Factor (SPF). SPF denotes how long you can be exposed to Ultraviolet (UV) rays before burning. SPF 50 provides about 98% protection, and SPF 100 gives about 99%. It is important to know that all UV radiation exposure is cumulative; a minute here and two minutes there will add up over time, causing severe damage over time even with smaller individual exposures.

Please remember, tan skin is damaged skin. The proof of the pudding is in the tasting, and the proof of your sun protec-tion is in the color of your skin. The skin color you were born with is your reference point. Although it is impossible to keep all of your skin as smooth and silky as a baby's bottom, the less sun damage, the better. If you find you still "get some color" despite your regimen, then you'll want to optimize your sun protection habits.

P olo may seem a bit too formal for our mountain bike-loving, beer-swigging town. However, we’re

athletic, we love our animals, and we’re drawn to wide open spaces. Therefore, polo may be the perfect fit for Central Oregon.

General Manager Bruce DeKock and Certified USPA Instructor Henri du Toit, partners at the Bend Polo Club, are convinced that polo will catch on in Bend. The club is housed and matches take place at Camp Fraley Ranch in Bend.

Polo traces its origin back to ancient Persia, while the first polo club was established in India in 1833. It requires the skills of both horse and rider who are dedicated to a set of rules. While open to hockey-style skirmishes, the game is adamant about the safety of both—perhaps leaning more toward the protection of the horse.

DeKock discovered polo just four years ago following his daughter’s wish to learn to ride horses. Not wanting to be a dad on the sidelines, he joined in. After an introduction to polo, he was hooked. DeKock is also living proof that polo’s highfalutin image is unwarranted. Unless playing in a tournament, he sticks to jeans and a t-shirt to play. And there’s always tailgating involved!

It is an exhilarating, fun, sociable and truly amazing sport that uses incredible animals.

MONARCHY’S POLO (CONTINUED)

“I am a poster child for the term, ‘anyone can play,’” DeKock relays. “At the end of the first season, I could barely get the horse going and hit the ball.”

“I am able to combine all my passions—horses, being outside, being active, and playing a team sport,” adds Equine Manager and Chief Digital Marketing Officer Rachele Gallinat. “It is an exhilarating, fun, sociable and truly amazing sport that uses incredible animals.”

Gallinat was a Sportsmanship Award-winning polo player at Oregon State University.

Henri du Toit—with 20 years of playing pro-fessionally under his belt—offers these tips for interested polo players . . . • The horse is the most important part of the sport. • Going fast does not mean you're a good player. • Polo is a team sport.

T he record snowfall Old Man Winter dropped on Central Oregon is finally in the rearview mirror. In preparation for warmer tem-

peratures, back patios are being cleaned, gardeners are getting their hands dirty, and many of us are thinking about how to quench our upcoming summer thirst. For the cocktail lover who also enjoys being outside and using garden tools, Central Oregon is the place to be.

True to its name, the High Desert is high in elevation and low in annual precipitation. Our dry soil and cold temperatures don’t allow for a long outdoor growing season, but local gardeners still prevail. Fortunately, many cocktail recipes utilize ingredients that grow well in the Central Oregon climate.

Growing sage, lavender and basil is possible utilizing pots dotted around your patio. A raised bed is an option if you don’t have the proper soil conditions in your yard and if you’re interested in growing additional ingredients like peppers for Bloody Marys or rhubarb for Rhubarb-Basil cocktails.

You don’t need much in the way of materials to construct a raised bed for your cocktail garden–-a four foot by four foot raised bed is more than adequate to grow all ingredients for summer sipping. A framed bed is more efficient than an unframed one, but more costly. Both require sub-stantial quantities of soil and organic matter. A metal trough with drain-age holes is a great alternative to constructing a raised bed out of wood.

For the cocktail gardener who is interested in starting plants from seeds, the Central Oregon Seed Exchange (COSE) is a great resource. Located inside Central Oregon Locavore in Bend, COSE provides local, organic, non-GMO and cold-climate hardy seeds originating in Central Oregon.

2. GOOGLE CALENDAR I have a calendar set up for each job, one for personal, and one for my son; all synched on my phone. If you don’t see me put our meeting or appointment in my calendar, I probably won’t be showing up.

3. ONLINE BANKING Snap photos of checks to deposit. Pay bills as they arrive. Set up automatic payments. And, it’s a free service from your bank. Don’t pass this up.

4. IMMEDIATE RECYCLING Don’t let mail stack up. Open your mail at your recycling bin. Save the mail you actually need.

5. MINIMIZING Don’t worry too much about organizing your closet. Just don’t have so much stuff. Make it a rule that when one thing comes in, one goes out. Or better yet, don’t get the new thing.

Lastly, try letting go. Decide that it’s ok to have those two anti-filing piles. You know which one is which. Be at peace. And, if you’re at the stage where you just can’t see a way out, it may be time to call a professional organizer to get you started.

And yes, I still know how to set up a pretty functional library.

TIPSTALES FROM A CHRONICALLY

UNORGANIZED PAPER SHUFFLER

ARTICLE DONNA BURKLO

When I was a child, I took on the project of transforming our family’s extensive col-lection of books into a home library . . . and of my own volition! I labeled each book and cataloged them per the Dewey Decimal System. There was a check-out system in an index card box. I monitored the comings and goings of each book, much to the extreme eyeball-rolling of my three older siblings, as well as my parents.

Fast forward a number of years to the cur-rent vision of my unorganized, yet quite func-tional home. I have some books, but the only order is by an aesthetically pleasing size and color. And, to be honest, there aren’t really that many of them. My silverware is stacked by utensil type. That’s an organizational plus. Yet, I hang my head at the rest of my home.

I’ve made attempts. A dear friend orga-nized my work-at-home files. File labels for every aspect. Documents filed. That was fif-teen years ago. The files now consist of “The Pile That I Need to Keep Handy” and “The Pile That I Probably Should File.”

But, here’s how I keep it from getting completely out of control.

Since 2002, Central Oregonians have looked to the Les Schwab Amphitheater (LSA)

for their riverfront event fun. The 8000-patron amphitheater, built in the Old Mill District in 2001, has seen over one million guests flock to the venue for free Sunday concerts, ticketed shows, and brewfests since its gates opened. Each spring, locals and out-of-towners alike await the announcement of its diverse event lineup, traditionally beginning Memorial Day weekend.

Named for local tire entrepreneur Les Schwab, the amphitheater features Schwab’s old school-house, repurposed as its artist dressing rooms. Meanwhile, a former lumber mill management office sits behind the stage. And, the 360 degree views from the lawn include both the Deschutes River and Cascade Mountains.

The LSA has hosted some of the music industry’s top performers, and this year is no different. So, whether you’re looking to catch someone famous roll through town, or would just like to hang out with family and friends at a free show, head down to the Old Mill District’s Les Schwab Amphitheater.
